Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Several unusual stellar orbit fluctuations were circled in red. On the standard Milky Way star chart, those fluctuations looked like a few twisted nodes suddenly appearing on a complete spider web, with small amplitude.

But this was not enough to get his attention.

"Did it affect your next destination?"

Himeko shook her head, denying it, "Actually, we haven't decided where to go next. Jiang Jiu, do you have any suggestions?"

"It will be all right."

Himeko was taken aback.

The reason they only discussed the train's destination when Jiang Jiu was present was because the series of cause-and-effect reactions in the video truly frightened them.

What does it mean that choosing the wrong destination can trigger a series of apocalypses?

What does it mean that even if you choose the right destination, it can still lead to a series of apocalypses?

"Anything... is that okay? Even the ocean planet 'Lusaka'?" Himeko hesitated.

"can."

"What about the agate world of 'Merustan'?"

"can."

"The Glazed Light Band 'Patrevinizia'?"

"That's fine too."

Himeko paused for a moment: "Onpharos too?"

“Either is fine, Onpharos is also fine.” Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and added, “However, that place is just an ordinary planet that is being rebuilt right now, so there probably isn’t anything interesting there.”

"Does this mean you've already dealt with it?"

Jiang Jiu hummed in agreement.

Himeko didn't ask any more questions. She believed that news of a planet being reproduced would soon be spread everywhere.

A planet where the presence of celestial beings cannot remain unknown.

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "There's no need to have any reservations. You can do whatever you want."

Himeko nodded.

Although that's what she said, she still didn't really want to go to those places...

The reason is quite simple: the various ways to die in these places are almost complete in the encyclopedia, and even with the protection of others, I really don't want to go to those places anymore.

As for the destination, all the anonymous guests can vote on it together.

Jiang Jiu didn't care much about any of this. In any case, no matter what the process was, the train's final destination would definitely be Erxiang Paradise, so he didn't need to interfere.

Just then, Walter pushed open the door and came in, holding a star trail analysis report.

His gaze first fell on the display screen of the control panel to confirm that there were no abnormalities in the star map data, and then he noticed Jiang Jiu standing next to Himeko.

He paused noticeably for a moment, then silently adjusted his glasses.

"Your Excellency Jiang Jiu."

The carriage was silent for a moment.

For a moment, for some reason, everyone was holding back their laughter.

Xing and March 7th had sneaked in at some point and were hiding behind the bar, secretly observing what was happening. When Xing heard Walter address him as "Your Excellency" in such a proper manner, he almost bit his tongue.

Jiang Jiu raised his eyes, looked at Uncle Yang, and remained silent for about two seconds: "Just call me Jiang Jiu, no need to add 'Your Excellency'."

"Yes, Your Excellency Jiang Jiu."

"..."

"What I mean is, you can just call me Jiang Jiu, without any suffix."

Walter adjusted his glasses, his expression serious and solemn, as if he were dealing with an extremely important matter of diplomatic protocol: "No, I think it's still necessary to add it."

"why?"

"In order to maintain the last shred of adult dignity in front of you."

Upon hearing this, Xing couldn't hold back any longer. She leaned on the bar, her shoulders shaking like a leaf.

On March 7th, one hand covered her mouth while the other frantically patted Danheng's shoulder, almost knocking the book out of his hand.

Danheng covered his lips, not laughing out loud.

Pam came along at this time.

He looked at the large crowd gathered there, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you all crammed here? Why don't you go to the party carriage? Ms. Black Swan has been waiting in the party carriage for a long time. Oh, and there are other guests too."

Himeko paused for a moment before remembering, "Other guests?"

Pam nodded: "It's someone from the company, Pam."

"Someone from the company?" Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow.

Is this not?

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Guide the train's trajectory to a crucial point in the Two-Phase Paradise, and here it is!

A little-known fact: the flow of time inside and outside Onphalos is almost drastically different. This means that in the original story, thousands of years in Onphalos are only a few days in the real world.

...This time percentage is even shorter than the time occupied by the immersive screen playback.

Jiang Jiu put the half-finished cup of tea on the counter, turned to look at Ji Zi, and said directly, "Then you guys go see the people from the company, I'm going to go play with Yi Zhe."

Before Himeko could respond, he had already turned and walked out of the carriage. His steps were slow, but his direction was clear, showing no intention of meeting anyone from the company.

Xing scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Didn't Jiang Jiu have a good relationship with the company before? Why didn't you go and meet him?"

Himeko picked up her coffee and took a sip, the smile on her lips hidden behind the rim of the cup: "I do understand."

"After all, given his status, if the people at the company knew that he was on the train at this moment, it would probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"So he'd rather chat with a messenger who knows the course of fate than meet the company's messenger?" March 7 thought about the tragic fate of the black swan in the image and silently lit a candle for her in her heart.

May you have a safe journey, Ms. Black Swan.

Inside the party car, Black Swan sat on a sofa in the corner, elegant and composed. On the coffee table in front of her was a cup of black tea that had gone cold, but she didn't seem to care.

She was only here for a short trip, so anything too complicated was none of her concern.

I heard that an unnamed passenger boarded the train yesterday, which is quite intriguing, and I'd like to go and meet him.

Just then, the door to the party carriage opened.

The black swan instinctively raised its head, preparing to exchange polite and appropriate greetings with one of the train crew members.

Then she saw the person walk in...

It's not Himeko, not Welt, not that Star Core brat, or that pink-haired girl.

Is it... that Star Gods exist?!

The black swan's pupils suddenly contracted!

"!!!"

Jiang Jiu was standing at the door of the party carriage, his posture casual and his gaze lazy, with a small black tower doll sitting on his shoulder, seemingly waiting for someone to finish.

When he saw her, he gestured with his chin, speaking as if he were greeting an old friend he had known for a long time, with a slight upward curve at the end of his voice.

"Morning."

The black swan's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.

In that instant, countless images flashed through her mind.

Jiang Jiu, wielding the Lonely Star Sword, casually dispatched an entire group of Memory Thieves from the Memory Court with devilish words.

Then they pulled her from the mirror in the memory room, and amidst the scattered fragments of her colleagues' memories, she begged for help to recreate some of them, before being forced to undergo those horrific memory experiments...

"Good morning... good morning... Lord Jiang Jiu."

The Black Swan's voice still managed to maintain the elegance that the Messenger of Flowing Light and Memory was accustomed to. Of course, it would be even better if one ignored the extremely subtle vibrato hidden in that elegance.

She set down the teacup with perfect poise, her fingers resting on the rim, her movements still composed, her fingertips turning white.

"Lord Star God, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Jiu sat down opposite her, took out an orange from his pocket (he didn't know where he'd gotten it from), and slowly began to peel it: "Hitchhiking, just like you."

Black Swan: "..."

He's just like her, damn it.

You're a star god, you can come and go without a trace, why would you need to take a train?!

Do you even believe what you're saying?

“I believe you.” Jiang Jiu looked up at the black swan. “Why wouldn’t I believe you?”

Black Swan: "..."

Black Swan: "!!!!"

Oh no, I'm going to die here today!

"Hey, don't get excited, I won't pluck the goose feathers," Jiang Jiu reassured him.

Black Swan wanted to slap herself twice on the spot. Why was she so quick to speak? Wait...did she even say anything?

The black swan stiffly raised its head.

Then I met a pair of smiling amber-gold eyes.

No.

"......"

Black Swan felt that she had mustered all the composure she had in her life to refrain from standing up and running away on the spot.

She sat upright on the sofa, her hands folded on her knees, her posture still possessing the elegance and composure befitting an envoy of the Flowing Light Memory Court.

He even maintained a standard social smile at the corners of his mouth.
