In reality, only one minute and twenty-seven seconds passed.
As for why she knew so much, it's because Xing only went to her room to get a snack, and before she even returned to the party carriage, the main feature began.
"...That's about right."
A voice rang out.
[Fireworks: That's about enough, it's time to hit the road.]
[Sai Fei: Is my death finally coming? This is interesting.]
【star:.......?】
[Saifei: Speaking of which, Little Grey, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be meeting soon, right? Whether inside or outside the celestial canopy, this will be our first real meeting, won't it?]
[Star: Oh right, are you easy to get along with?]
[Sai Fei: Me? Haha, of course I'm easy to get along with. I believe the image of me will give you an unforgettable first impression.]
In the video, Jiang Jiu pushed open the door and went straight to the party carriage. After a quick scan, he locked onto his target mission.
Black Swan wanted to chat with Xing, but when she turned her head and saw Jiang Jiu, she instinctively took a step back.
Jiang Jiu tilted his head: "...Hmm?"
Black Swan coughed lightly: "This must be Jiang Jiu. Nice to meet you, I am..."
"No need, I know you."
Jiang Jiu bypassed the black swan and went straight to Himeko.
[Dahlia: It wasn't easy.]
[Dahlia: This seems to be the first time Jiang Jiu has let the Black Swan go after seeing her.]
[Black Swan: ...Let me make this clear first, Jiang Jiu didn't force me to do anything.]
[Dahlia: Yes, a very "friendly" invitation for you to help with a tiny, life-threatening favor.]
Black Swan: ......
Jiang Jiu briefly explained his purpose and claimed that he wanted to travel with Dan Heng and the others.
Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance.
Jiang Jiu didn't explicitly reveal his past, but his strength was quite evident. It was just an ordinary planet; did it really need a Commander to intervene?
After all, it's just a stopover, a place to find some fuel for the train.
"Jiang Jiu," Ji Zi spoke, her tone carrying a hint of gentle curiosity, "Are you sure you want to go down with them?"
"We don't know the full extent of Onfaros's condition yet, but he shouldn't be in so much danger that you'd need to intervene..."
“I said I’d go with them,” Jiang Jiu interrupted her, his tone relatively calm. “They’re likely to run into trouble if they go alone.”
but......
Jiang Jiu's tough stance aroused some suspicion among the train crew.
It's not that I suspect Jiang Jiu's motives.
Instead, they wondered... whether the destination was more dangerous than they had anticipated.
Walter adjusted his glasses, the glare obscuring the thoughts in his eyes: "Do you know something?"
Jiang Jiu frowned slightly, suddenly feeling a little regretful.
I should have known better than to make the character's identity like this just for the sake of creating a sense of immersion; nothing they say is credible.
So... what kind of identity would be the fastest to persuade them?
Is it a paragon of annihilation, a supreme ruler destined for the end? Or...?
Just then, a voice rang out from him, coming from the Black Tower.
Why are you questioning him?
Watching the movie (126) - Those bad things...we did them with great effort!
Himeko paused, realizing she seemed to hear the Black Tower Lady's voice, and the source of the voice... seemed to be Jiang Jiu himself?
Then... she saw a small black tower doll crawl out of Jiang Jiu's shirt pocket.
Himeko: "...??!"
What kind of scene hasn't Himeko seen? This is a scene Himeko has never seen before.
What do you mean by "Ms. Black Tower created a small doll and gave it to Jiang Jiu to carry with him, and she herself was constantly monitoring Jiang Jiu's situation"?
"Why did you come out?" Jiang Jiu asked.
"I'm afraid it will put you in a difficult position, but I also have connections on the train," Heita said matter-of-factly.
Jiang Jiu casually answered a call, made a few simple operations, and a virtual projection of the Great Black Tower himself appeared on the train.
She stood next to Jiang Jiu with her arms crossed, glancing sideways at Ji Zi.
"Why are you questioning him? Don't you want to live?"
Himeko paused for a moment, then asked, "What does Ms. Black Tower mean by this?"
"No, do you really not check people's identities at all when you're picking them up on the train?"
She lightly pinched Jiang Jiu's cheek through the air and said speechlessly, "A genius is on your train, and you're questioning him for saying something?"
The train conductor looked up at Walter and exclaimed, "Didn't you say it was just a coincidence of names? It turns out it's actually him!"
Uncle Yang: "......"
Himeko: "......"
[Star: Quick, quick, look at Himeko and Uncle Yang's expressions! This is hilarious! They actually thought Jiang Jiu just shared a name with that genius from the Genius Club!]
[Star: I thought everyone knew, just like they did with Old Japanese, not caring about his past at all, just arresting him and putting him on the train as an anonymous passenger.]
[Danheng: ...Is this correct?]
[Sunday: Strictly speaking, I joined the Star Train voluntarily.]
[March 7th: No, who would have thought... The Genius Club only has about eighty people in total. Who would have thought that one of them would come to our train to freeload a meal and sleep?]
[March 7th: So I think it's normal that people don't think about it that way. After all, there are plenty of people with the same name. It's not like you can just grab anyone named Jiang Jiu and expect them to be a savior.]
[Star: Wow, Little March, you've gotten smarter!]
[March 7th: That's because you've become stupid!]
[Star: You admit you're stupid, so you do!]
March 7th: ?
[Himeko: ...As the navigator of this train, this is my dereliction of duty. A genius boarded the train, and we treated him like an ordinary passenger.]
Himeko: So the responsibility lies with me.
[Black Tower: Your train's security system really needs an upgrade. If he hadn't brought it up, were you planning to let him continue traveling as an anonymous passenger until retirement?]
Himeko: It's not entirely impossible.
[Silver Wolf: Your train conductor seems to be questioning his existence, "Didn't you say it was just a coincidence of names?"]
[Pam: I think Pam genuinely believed it was just a case of having the same name, Pam!! Even though Walter specifically checked the information about Pam!! But the Genius Club's information is confidential, Pam!! It's not Pam's fault for not being able to find it!!]
[Sunday: So... Jiang Jiu's identity on the train changed from "a mysterious traveler seeking lodging" to "an unnamed guest dragged to dinner," and then to "a member of the genius club with a Black Tower doll in his pocket"...?]
[Fireworks: And from our perspective, we should add a few more, such as the Guardian and Recognition Token Envoy, who is comparable to the Great Lord of Annihilation at the End, and who is also a potential candidate to become the Star God of Memory, the Pure Child of No Leakage!]
[Robin: And every identity he had was real. He didn't lie to anyone...]
[Star: There's not enough room for all of us!]
[Jing Yuan: True geniuses don't need self-introductions; others will explain for them. Hmm... Logically speaking, throughout the world, if you say you're a member of the genius club, almost no one will be willing to go against you.]
[Yao Guang: General Jingyuan's summary is very accurate.]
[Yao Guang: But what I'm more concerned about is the scene of Lady Black Tower's little doll crawling out of Jiang Jiu's pocket. We know that Black Tower herself is far away at the Black Tower Space Station, so this little doll is her remote terminal. That means... Jiang Jiu was on the train for two and a half days, and Black Tower could see what he was doing at any time through the doll.]
[Topa: ...Isn't this just 24/7 surveillance?]
[Gold dust: This can also be understood as round-the-clock care.]
[Fireworks: It's actually just a genius's extremely dangerous possessiveness.]
In the video, the big black tower glanced proudly at everyone, then turned to Jiang Jiu: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so timid? You clearly have countless ways to make things go the way you want, don't you?"
"Scared by cause and effect?"
Jiang Jiu shook his head and denied it, saying, "No."
"I just find it too much trouble."
Jiang Jiu just found it troublesome.
Because they find it troublesome, they are too lazy to interfere excessively with the train crew's behavior; because they don't want to explain, they don't want to say anything.
He just wanted to help at the critical juncture and then directly adjust the time flow to resolve this crisis quickly.
As for the rest... it seems to have nothing to do with him.
[Topa: But now that his "genius club" status is out there, the Nameless One shouldn't be so foolish as to question him, right?]
[Topa: After all, that's a talent club... Everyone knows the weight of those words.]
Geniuses stand at the pinnacle of wisdom; any research result they make can change the course of civilization. No matter how shocking something is, it seems to be a trivial problem that can be easily solved in their eyes.
And the person in front of you... is one of them.
[Jadeite: Yes, in this situation, doubts shouldn't arise.]
Gold dust: But perhaps there is fear.
[Su Chang: Does the Nameless Guest also feel fear?]
[Gold mines: Uncharted scavengers may not be afraid to explore, but what if the danger is uncontrollable and clearly known? Would a navigator really let an uncharted scavenger venture into perilous territory?]
That's what they thought, and that's what they did.
