He took the coffee, his throat moved slightly, and then he drank it all in one gulp.

His movements were clean and efficient, and his expression remained calm and composed.

But only he knew that the moment the liquid touched his taste buds, his body sent out some indescribable, strong warning signal.

Lin Yuan was on high alert, and even mobilized the power of the Outer Heaven to refine the liquid on the spot. The whole process was comparable to dealing with Nanuk's Extinction Gold Blood.

"How is it?" Seeing this, Himeko's smile widened, her tone filled with anticipation.

"...It has a unique flavor." That was the only word Lin Yuan could think of. He couldn't describe exactly what it felt like.

Did he drink it? If so.

Himeko's mood had clearly improved, and her steps were lighter as she put away the tea set.

"I'm glad Mr. Lin likes it. Your taste is admirable. You can come to me anytime you want to drink it."

"That's a pity, I probably won't come on the train again," Lin Yuan silently added in his mind.

A moment later, Himeko led him to a booth in the carriage. The Black Swan, who always loved to join in the fun, didn't come over for some reason. Instead, she teamed up with the Memory Man who was shivering in the corner.

After they sat down, the red-haired beauty in front of him became serious and began to explain the current situation to him.

Her tone was sincere and solemn, and she lowered her gaze slightly at the end:

"Sir, regarding the current situation, do you have any good solutions? In any case, as the train navigator, I assure you that the train crew will remember your help."

Lin Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened, and finally asked, "Where is Miss March now? Should I check on her first?"

"Please come with me." Himeko quickly stood up.

........

As soon as Lin Yuan stepped into the carriage, he felt a bone-chilling cold filling the air.

As the room door slowly opened, a cozy pink room came into view, with the most eye-catching feature being a huge block of ice, shimmering with a beautiful luster.

"Ms. Himeko... is this the cold storage of the Starry Sky Train?"

Himeko glanced at him silently, then pointed and said, "This is Little March."

“...Okay.” Lin Yuan’s lips twitched, and he stepped forward.

Without saying much, white light instantly enveloped the entire room.

Although Lin Yuan had a general idea of ​​the situation, he still took the opportunity to sense it.

After some investigation, he discovered that the condensed six-phase ice was indeed quite peculiar.

It is not frozen at the material level, but involves memes and consciousness, more like a kind of sealing and protection mechanism from the level of destiny.

As for which destiny it comes from... Onphalos, let's just change its name to "The Perfect Match".

The white light faded, and Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Your Excellency, Xiao Sanyue, she..." Himeko's voice was somewhat urgent.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Lin Yuan shook his head and turned his gaze to the window.

"Her condition is mainly due to the influence of the memories and destiny that entangle Onpharos. Lady Himeko should know more about her origins than I do, right?"

"...Hmm." Himeko nodded without saying anything more.

"So in the end, we still have to start with Onfaros. The geniuses have already begun to try to solve it, so let's just wait for good news."

"No matter the cost, I will make sure the children are safe and sound."

With a brief sigh, Himeko raised her head and looked at the celestial bodies outside the window. Her expression softened slightly, but then her face hardened again.

After a moment of silence, she asked casually, "Sir, would you like another drink while we wait?"

"Um, I heard there's a party carriage on the train, can we go check it out?" Lin Yuan wisely changed the subject.

"Of course." Himeko nodded with a hint of regret.

........

Upon entering the party carriage, Lin Yuan saw a robot standing in front of the bar. Its shell was shiny and its design was strangely comical.

As I walked to the bar, the robot waved its mechanical arm and spoke.

"Hello, sir, what would you like to drink?" Its voice was soothing, with a strange warmth.

"Shut up," Himeko said directly.

Lin Yuan glanced at her in surprise, and Ji Zi quickly explained, "The name of this intelligent robot is 'Shut Up'."

She immediately turned her head and said, "Shut up. This is Mr. Lin from the Starry Sky Train, a distinguished guest of the Starry Sky Company. Do not be rude."

"...Why did you choose such a strange name?"

As if hearing its own name called, the "shut up" indicator flashed and spoke up before the two could continue their conversation:

"Sir, do you know why the 'Stone Heart Ten' in the company's strategic investment department are feared by many people? The answer is: because they are 'heart-eaters and man-eaters,' and the word 'eat' is a homophone for 'ten,' which is quite amusing."

Lin Yuan: "...That's weird, I'm going to forward this to my friends at work."

A moment later, in a WeChat group chat:

Placer gold:?

Topa: ? ?

Himeko silently covered her face.

"Mr. Lin, let's talk over here."

Before long, Shut up and drifted away dejectedly to the side, while two drinks were presented to Himeko and Lin Yuan.

During this time, Lin Yuan gave Ji Zi a general overview of what he and the geniuses had discovered about Onpharos: the scepter, suspected remnants of the emperor, the envoy of wisdom, and the Great Lord of Annihilation who might be imprisoned there, the Iron Tomb.

"So that's how it is." Himeko's expression became even more serious after hearing this.

Lin Yuan casually mentioned the Anti-Destruction Alliance that the company was preparing. Himeko said that the ten members of the Stone Heart had already contacted her, but at the moment, the focus of getting off the train was on Onfaros, and she didn't have time to think about that too much.

"Don't worry, if Onfaros is really related to the Iron Tomb, the company will stand firmly on the train's side," Lin Yuan said.

"On behalf of the train crew, I would like to express my gratitude in advance."

The two chatted for a while longer, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed. At the end of the conversation, Himeko picked up her glass from the bar and raised it to him. As if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they gently clinked glasses.

Just then, Lin Yuan's terminal vibrated, and the projection of the Black Tower popped out with a "snap".

"Okay." The pointed hat swayed with the sound of the black tower rising and falling.

"Screw and I are working hard here to fight against the AI, and you're here drinking?"

Lin Yuan remained expressionless: "This is called 'warming wine to kill intelligent machines'."

"..."

Heita stared at him for two seconds with wide eyes, her pretty face trembling slightly: "Alright, now it's your turn to go on stage."

She gave a light hum, then said seriously, "Screw and I have just broken through the outer protective wall and entered the interior of Onpharos."

"Oh, how was the harvest?"

"As we suspected, Onpharos is almost certainly an imperial scepter."

When we went in, it was a terrible mess. Black matter was everywhere, raging monsters roamed, dilapidated buildings lay strewn across the landscape, and oh, there was a giant. This cycle had clearly been destroyed.

"Madam, have you found Xinghe and Danheng?" Himeko's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and her tone became somewhat tense.

Black Tower shook his head.

"The protection of that machine is quite troublesome. Even if Screw and I join forces, we can only peer inside from an outsider's perspective for the time being. However, the time anchor issue has been resolved."

As the genius spoke, he turned his gaze to Lin Yuan: "So, now it's your turn to shine, Sun Bro. It's time to use your light to illuminate this place, and while you're at it, bring back my assistant and a few kids."

Himeko took a deep breath and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Lin, the present and future of the train are all in your hands."

Looking at the two women's gazes, both filled with complex thoughts, which converged on his face, Lin Yuan could feel the weight of their gazes.

The safety of the nameless guest, the fate of the galaxy, the entrustment of the genius and the navigator, the resistance against destruction, and... Lin Yuan looked out the window at Onpharos.

"The pain, struggle, anger, sorrow, and fate that have repeated more than 30 million times should come to an end."

He spoke to himself, then uttered a soft voice. His voice was low, but clear and firm:

"it is good!"

..........

Chapter 440 Action

Onpharos, a tiny, little-known place in the galaxy, is brewing a storm powerful enough to shake the universe.

At this moment, its influence on the galaxy is even greater than that of Pierpont.

However, the turmoil on Pierpoint's side has not yet subsided.

The major move by the Statistics Department attracted the attention of everyone in the company. Whether they were managers or directors, they were both numb to Lin Yuan's latest actions and shocked by the scale of this operation.

Even the most senior board member couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Director Lin, you're my elder brother, you're my ancestor, okay? Can't you behave yourself for once? We just finished fighting a war, can't you enjoy yourself a bit first?"

No.

The mission is not yet accomplished, how can we indulge in pleasure? How can we maintain our survival while we're with you insects?

Eight hours prior, the Ministry of Statistics issued a Level III alert for combat readiness.

Six systems in advance, the fleet under its command has been assembled, reorganized and expanded, and the huge warship group fully loaded with new weapons has begun to leapfrog.

Four systems prior, a branch of the Business Consolidation Department in a certain star system received a notification requiring cooperation in a forced evacuation operation.

The branch manager initially didn't take it seriously.

A single sentence could mean relocating vital assets across the entire galaxy? What about the local joint venture he just invested in? What about the benefit swap he just agreed upon with the local government?

He had originally planned to use this opportunity to transfer to Pierpont. He climbed to this position based entirely on one principle: those who fear death are welcome here, those who seek promotion and wealth are welcome here.

However, he had also heard of the reputation of the Bureau of Statistics; it was said to be very difficult to deal with. After considering for a moment, he replied tactfully, indicating that he needed to wait for instructions from his superiors.

However, before the senior management of the Business Consolidation Department could reply, the colossal ship that stretched across the sky had already obscured the planet's heavens.
