"Ah, good timing, it looks like everyone is here - and there's an adorable kid too."
This sudden outsider not only walked to the center on his own, but also glanced at everyone, even including little Ai Li, who had just smuggled onto the train less than two days ago.
"There's no need for a charming self-introduction...Star Core Hunter!"
It was not difficult to tell from Ji Zi's tone that she did not welcome this uninvited "guest" at all, and she even temporarily ignored Ai Li who secretly hugged her calf.
In the face of this obvious hostility, the Star Core Hunter named Kafka smiled slightly and pointed at the other party with his open palm: "Jizi, right?"
"I'm sorry to interrupt your party, but I believe that after listening to my request, you will understand my impertinence. I would like to ask you to change your destination." After walking to the end, the Star Core Hunter turned around again and looked at the people behind her.
But Ji Zi obviously didn't want to cooperate with the other party, and instead directly revealed her past: "'Star Core Hunter', I have seen you before, but it was on the bounty order of the 'Company'. That is an astronomical bounty - and it doesn't matter whether you are dead or alive. Do you know how much your bounty is?"
"Star Core Hunters", just from the name, it's not hard to tell that they are just like bounty hunters, running around in the universe for something. But what they want is not treasures, but star cores like the one on Yalilo-VI that will bring endless disasters.
However, considering that they were wanted by the "Company", it seems that the way they obtained the star cores was not very friendly, and they might have even stolen things from the "Company".
If Ji Zi remembered correctly, the woman named Kafka in front of her had a bounty of 10 billion on the "company"... Just from this terrifying bounty amount, I believe it is not difficult to see how dangerous the other party is.
"To be honest, I don't really care." Kafka spread out her palms nonchalantly and said, "The company's bounty order is more praise than bad reputation. The bigger the number, the greater the praise."
"You wanted criminals are quite open-minded..."
I believe that any normal person would stay away from the so-called wanted criminals like March 7, but some people seem to be very interested in this thing——
Little Ai Li, who was curled up at Ji Zi's feet, leaned over to Pam, the only person she could get close to at the moment, and whispered, "This bad woman looks so handsome. Can you find a way to get her on the train as well?"
"......Ah? No, no, that won't work. The train can't withstand their tossing and turning." Hearing this, Pam immediately shook her little head hard, and even her two little ears began to move.
"Alas, if we don't learn to adapt, how can our trains develop? Listen to me..."
Little Ellie put her mouth close to Pam's ear and quietly began to brainwash her. Compared with the obvious invasion of the Star Train, this is probably the most terrifying.
As the two little guys were communicating with each other, the conversation gradually got to the point, with Kafka herself stating her true intentions -
"I don't know, have you ever heard of Luofu?"
Chapter 78: Who can resist a bad woman?
"One of the six great ships of the Immortal Ship Alliance, the Immortal Ship Luofu. We know it."
Walter and Ji Zi looked at each other, and then Walter gave the answer in tacit understanding.
"Well, what you don't know is that this immortal ship is very close to you now, and it can be reached by two warps. Moreover, forty-five system hours ago, a star core exploded on Luofu."
Kafka's tone was inexplicably lamented: "It's an unexpected disaster... isn't it?"
"Star Core Hunters, what are you planning... The Immortal Boat Alliance is not as easy to talk to as us. Once you are targeted by the "Hunter Patrol", you are no longer hunters, but prey. The Alliance will chase you to the end of the universe-"
Just as Pado had introduced to Kevin before, the existence of these fairy boats themselves was a terrifying strategic weapon. They believed in "hunting" and were extremely good at pursuit and revenge.
"Just say what you want to say and stop being so sarcastic, Kafka," Jizi added.
"...It's very simple. This star core has nothing to do with us, but Xianzhou has already pinned the blame on the star core hunter. My companion Blade was taken away by the Cloud Cavalry. I want to bring him back to resolve this star core crisis and clear us of suspicion."
The reason sounds quite authentic, but if you think about it a little, you will know how many unreasonable things are in it.
"It has nothing to do with you? Who would believe that? How could it be such a coincidence that you appeared right after the star core exploded... Besides, you don't have any friendship with us. What does the innocence of the star core hunter have to do with us?"
How could she, who always understood the righteousness of the situation, be related to a wanted criminal? She had never been like that before, and of course she wouldn't be like that now. Besides, since he was already a wanted criminal, how could he be a good person? If he was a good person, why didn't you go and explain it to them yourself?
"Of course you can stay out of this. Before the star core pollutes this airspace, start the jump and you can go to the next world. But in time, this section of Star Track 1 will be blocked again."
"I can tell you what the future will be like: if you don't go to Luofu, the star core will eventually contaminate the entire fairy ship, and about half of the residents on the spacecraft will die... The brave and fearless pioneers, the nameless guests who do good deeds, will not sit idly by."
Even if it is just a rough estimate, there are at least nearly 100 million people on the Immortal Boat, and half of the residents would be at least tens of millions of people.
But although Kafka's words sound nice, isn't this simply moral kidnapping?
"But your companion, named Ren, was not spared either, right?" Ji Zi asked immediately.
"That's all I can tell you. Here are the coordinates. It's up to you to decide... Although we pursue completely different goals, the orbits of the stars will eventually intersect. Goodbye."
Without even giving the others room to refute, after saying this, Kafka directly turned off the projection connected to the Starry Sky Train and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Um......"
This sudden change made Ji Zi ponder for a moment, and then she turned her head and looked to the side: "Sanyue, go find Dan Heng."
Whether or not to go to Luofu, it would be fairer for everyone to vote and discuss this matter together.
After a while, when Dan Heng was also called out of the room by San Yue Qi, Ji Zi gathered everyone together again and explained, "The star core hunters said that a star core exploded on the immortal ship "Luo Fu", and the train is very close to it. If we go to Luo Fu, we may have a chance to save many innocent lives."
"But it's also possible... We were just used and deceived by the Star Core Hunter. Walter and I both believe that the Star Core Hunter didn't tell the truth, but we can't completely ignore her intelligence... So, whether to turn to the Immortal Boat, we will use a democratic vote to decide: stretching out your hand means agreement, and not stretching out your hand means opposition."
“Three, two, one…!”
As Ji Zi's countdown ended, four hands quickly stretched out, and Xing, who had voted against, immediately glared at San Yueqi beside him: "Didn't you say you were going to vote against it?!"
Just now when they went to call Danheng together, this guy pulled them all together and scolded Kafka for a long time with a frown on his face.
"Hehehe...calm down and think about it. What if that woman didn't lie? If we don't go to the Immortal Boat, many innocent people will suffer...now doesn't seem like the time to be willful...hehe?" March Seven tried hard to force out an awkward yet polite smile.
"You are a woman without principles!"
Xing ruthlessly condemned March Seven's behavior, and quickly turned his attention to Xiao Ai Li, who also voted in favor: "Didn't you just say you were going to vote against it?"
"Ahem~ Because based on my years of experience getting close to girls, I have discovered an eternal theorem - the prettier a girl is, the more likely she is to lie..."
Little Ai Li paused for a moment, then said confidently: "And the more bad women who look pretty but can deceive others, the more I like them!"
"...?"
This strange statement successfully made everyone present fall into silence. Fortunately, considering that Ellie was still just a child, no one cared about it.
"What do you mean, Danheng? Do you want to stay?"
Ji Zi turned her head and looked at Dan Heng, another person who cast a dissenting vote. Although he had never told his story seriously, it was not difficult for them to see that the other party definitely had a close connection with the Xianzhou Alliance.
"Well, I won't go this time."
Seeing Dan Heng nodded, Ji Zi turned her attention to Walter: "Then this pioneering journey will be handed over to you? I see that you have been tense since meeting your friends from your hometown, so this is a good opportunity to relax."
"I'll ask you to take care of Xing and Xiao Sanyue. Also, the new little Ai Li will definitely be busy too."
In less than two days, little Ai Li and Ji Zi had already established a solid emotional foundation. After all, who doesn’t like a cute and talkative child?
Since the destination had been decided, everyone on the train quickly found their seats before the jump began. Only March 7 stood in the middle with his eyes closed.
"What is she doing?"
Little Ai Li couldn't help but ask the star beside her out of curiosity, and the star answered in a very novel way: "The distance between the Immortal Boat and the Starry Sky Train is about the distance of March 7th falling twice."
"Eh?"
Before Little Ellie could continue to ask questions, the voice of the conductor Pam came from the radio -
"Everyone, please pay attention immediately. The jump is about to begin. Three, two, one..."
"Ouch!"
Student March 7th landed on his butt, so he was deducted points!
Chapter 79: So he is also a fortune teller?
"Hold on tight, Boss Kevin, we are about to start the warp."
After settling the various matters in Beloberg, Kevin directly asked Pado to take him to the fairy ship "Luofu"... He was really worried about Alicia being alone outside, and she might cause him some trouble that he couldn't deal with.
Although Beloberg was still in a state of disrepair, it had at least entered the Company's field of vision. After signing a series of cooperation agreements with Pado, they would be able to directly contact the Company and conduct a series of trade negotiations.
The main role of trader Pado is actually to be a person in charge. The formal transaction process will naturally be conducted on the Internet, so it is no problem for her to leave for a while.
Of course, the main reason is that in the eyes of the "company", Kevin's value is even higher than the entire planet. How can Pado, a personal assistant who was sold, let her lose her boss for a job?
"..."
But then again, Kevin wanted to find a place to sit, but there was no extra space for him in the cockpit of Pado's spaceship.
"I'm sorry, Kevin, to save money, I only ordered the smallest commercial spacecraft, so the cockpit is a little crowded..."
Perhaps feeling Kevin's death gaze, Paddy's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally even Kevin could only detect her mouth mumbling softly.
To be honest, the size of this spaceship is not small, but most of its space is reserved for the cargo hold, which means that its cockpit can only accommodate two people. If it is a little more exaggerated, two people can only fit completely inside the cockpit.
At this moment, the most spacious place here has become the small nest that Paddo had reserved for Can when he originally booked the spaceship.
"Meow~"
Looking at the stupid human who didn't even have room to turn over, Can turned over lazily and ignored him.
"Ahem, since you don't have any objections, Boss Kevin, I'm ready to get started. Three, two, one...!"
As Pado pushed the red lever in front, the entire spaceship instantly turned into a stream of shadow and disappeared above the planet, leaving no trace.
It is difficult to describe what that feeling is like. A spacecraft that enters the jump state does not reach its destination in an instant, but enters a special state, traveling through another unknown dimension.
If the distance in the universe is directly defined as that observed by a civilization confined to a certain planet, then the distance between two civilized planets would be at least tens of light years. Even if one travels through the universe at the speed of light, this distance is almost unattainable.
After countless civilizations explored the universe, they discovered that the difficulty of interstellar navigation is not only the distance. What is more terrifying is that after leaving their respective stable galactic space, they will step into a completely unknown imaginary flow layer.
In that kind of place, not only direction and space cannot be observed, even time seems to have become a relative concept, giving people the feeling that it is a chaotic place before the birth of the world.
The universe is so difficult to observe that scholars defined it as a kind of "void and eternally blind thing". This situation continued until the theory of "Tree of Imaginary Numbers" was mentioned in the universe.
This theory compares different worlds in different time and space to tree structures: each branch is a form of existence of the world; each flower and leaf is the present and past left in the time dimension. The tree canopy always has a dynamic structure because it absorbs the ownerless imaginary energy in the space-time vessels - new buds grow, dead leaves fall off, and countless births and deaths are staged in the vast universe... Comparing the structure of the universe to a "tree" is like an attitude of regarding the "imaginary tree" as life.
After the birth of this theory, people were able to use their imagination to outline its working principle: ownerless imaginary energy flows continuously through the space-time vessels, forming "galaxies" at the end - countless worlds. And between the worlds, just like the spatial barriers between leaves, there is an unknown imaginary space that is difficult to cross.
This concept almost completely coincides with Kevin's understanding of the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers"... Only a few decades of research by the previous civilization has confirmed the development of countless years in the universe. In addition to the genius of Mei and others at that time, the stimulation of "collapse" to the development of civilization is self-evident.
But according to the information he got from the "Cocoon", "Honkai Impact" is theoretically a civilization screening mechanism belonging to the "Tree of Imaginary Numbers", but he has never heard of any information about "Honkai Impact" in this universe from beginning to end.
This might be a good thing... After all, if a cosmic-level Herrscher really appeared, Kevin couldn't imagine what kind of disaster that would be.
but......
"The Star God of 'Pioneering', Akivali..."
After entering the state of space travel, Kevin had been absorbing the information that was probably very basic for the civilization of this universe from the spacecraft's database, until he saw the entry about "development" and paused slightly.
According to the information above, almost all the routes in the universe at this moment were opened up by this "Star God". He connected countless civilizations in the universe and pushed the civilization of this universe to a new height of flourishing.
His original world has not yet had any connection with this universe. Perhaps the lack of "development" is one of the reasons.
The Starry Sky Train that Walter and his companions are on at this moment was the main tool used by Akivite to open up the waterway. This is also one of the main reasons why they continue to undertake adventures and explorations, because this is the spirit of the destiny of "opening up".
Believers, warriors, seekers of knowledge, lost travelers... There are always mortals who, intentionally or unintentionally, step into the destiny controlled by the "Star God" and become "Destiny Walkers" who practice their ideals.
After becoming destiny walkers, these mortals will be able to absorb the imaginary energy from their destiny, thereby possessing all kinds of strange powers... For example, Xier's ability is likely to come from this.
Kevin, who has received the attention of the "Protector" star god and feels that he can mobilize some kind of imaginary energy at any time, has strictly speaking become a destiny walker passively.
Is this a good thing?
Chapter 80 The spaceship we drive is always safe...right?
As for the "Envoy" that Pado had mentioned to him when introducing the "Company", it was an existence from another dimension entirely.
If the actions of mortals who accept the inspiration of the star gods and master the power of destiny are regarded as stirring up a shattered bubble; then the feat of the "star gods" who use their great power to control destiny is like driving a tsunami that crosses the mountains.
In this gap between heaven and earth, a few mortals who are favored by the Star God can also absorb the energy of destiny under the Star God's promise and roll up huge waves that erode the coast. These are the existences called "Commanders". Although they are not completely assigned by the Star God, in the eyes of the world, Commanders are the apostles who represent the will of the Star God.
