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

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds.

As expected of the Black Tower, their words are always so insightful...

“Jiang Jiu, I thought that as an envoy of the Intellectual Order, you at least knew how to calculate the risk-reward ratio.”

"You're not just testing the waters, you're blatantly throwing your life away, and you might even ignite a conflict prematurely, dragging the train directly into the front lines."

She took a step closer and stared into Jiang Jiu's eyes.

"After wandering in the void for so long, has it made you feel that even your own life has become insignificant, something you can casually use as a bargaining chip?"

Jiang Jiu paused for two seconds, instinctively wanting to retort: ​​"I just think..."

"What do you think?" Black Tower pressed.

Seeing that Jiang Jiu was speechless, she sneered.

"Tch... If you keep going with this idea, you're not far from death. Think it over carefully."

Jiang remained silent for a long time.

He closed his eyes and shook his head, somewhat...dazed.

When did he start to feel that... death wasn't such a difficult thing to accept?

Hmm... I can't quite remember...

"Speechless?"

Hei Ta withdrew his gaze from Jiang Jiu, his tone tinged with impatience.

"If you can't figure it out, then get out of here and don't get in the way."

"Don't bother me until I've finished the basic upgrades to the train defense system."

Jiang Jiu stood there for two seconds, then managed a meaningless laugh tinged with self-deprecation.

Without saying a word, he turned and left the main control area, heading towards the relatively quiet window of the observation car.

Himeko had been watching the commotion, and upon seeing this, she came over with two freshly brewed cups of coffee, handing one of them to Jiang Jiu.

"Black Tower's words are often quite direct, but they are often very insightful."

She said gently, sitting down in the chair next to Jiang Jiu: "Try this. I've adjusted the proportions, so it should... be more to your liking."

Jiang Jiu took the coffee and whispered a thank you.

Outside the viewing window, countless planets flash by.

Inside the carriage, the faint sound of Heita typing on a keyboard could be heard.

March 7th and Xing lowered their voices, as if they were muttering something.

Danheng quietly wiped Jiyun, while Pam ran around checking the train system, his footsteps making a lot of noise.

Everything exists and continues.

Everyone's actions have their own meaning, or at least are driven by a purpose.

Apart from his own thoughts at this moment.

"Death doesn't seem like a particularly difficult thing to accept."

The thought just surfaced so naturally that he didn't even realize it was a bad thought.

It's like deciding what to eat tonight.

"..."

The path of nihilism is truly a dangerous one; you never know when your thoughts will be led astray.

But...

He now believes that having this idea is the optimal solution.

However, "understanding" and "acceptance" are two different things.

Understanding the nihilistic nature of the world does not mean that one should accelerate one's slide toward that end.

He felt that as long as he could maintain a proper balance, everything would be fine.

At least he has the confidence to start over.

What are you thinking? You weren't fooled by what the Black Tower said, were you?

No, no, you're different from them.

I warned you a long time ago that you have countless opportunities to start over.

Himeko left after putting down the coffee.

Jiang Jiu leaned back on the sofa, looked at the comments on the screen, and shook his head.

I'm asking this question again now, the one I asked before.

Even if you know that death can lead to resurrection, are you still unwilling to pave the way with your own death?

Come on, it hasn't been long.

Let me hear your choice now.

Does he want to go further down the path of nihilism?

Yes.

Whether it's the Iron Tomb in the first storyline, the Star Howl and God War in this storyline, or the Burning Wind in the third storyline.

He needs sufficient strength.

But does he want to "self-destruct"?

The answer is no.

Jiang Jiu frowned as he looked at the comments.

You hesitated.

Hahaha, see? You still agree with this viewpoint. We're ultimately on the same page! Death is nothing more than...

"Unfortunately... I don't agree with your point of view." Jiang Jiu smiled gently, her eyes crinkling.

"Redeemed. Targeted bullet comment eliminated."

The coordinates of this comment have been locked.

The comment that proclaimed, "We are ultimately on the same path," along with the message "he" had sent earlier, instantly turned blood red.

【…What? Wait, how could this be? I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't kill me!!!】

The crimson barrage quickly twisted into a jumbled mess, then gradually... dimmed...

No!! Let me go, I'll never... again.

The sender of this comment, xxxx, is confirmed to be deceased.

"Use complete. Enjoy your mission, host."

The comments section instantly fell silent.

"Although...actually, I hold grudges quite a bit." Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand, looking at the instantly silent comments on the screen, his tone even carrying a hint of regret.

He was clearly laughing, but his voice was chillingly cold.

"The system should really display all your names so I know who those unruly guys are..."

"Another point worth mentioning is..."

"I am really annoyed, I really hate it, I absolutely loathe it... the feeling of not being able to control my own destiny."

"Oh, right, there's another commenter who threatened me..."

"You absolutely must hide it well, don't let me find it..."

Chapter 70 I've been waiting for you for a long time

He shrugged as he looked at the silent comments on the screen.

"Tch, boring."

【...】

The warning ended there; he stopped paying attention to what was happening there and focused his attention on Xingxiao.

What the Black Tower said makes a lot of sense, however...

Who said he was going to be stupid enough to go and fight Starscream's starship head-on?

Wanting to sneak up on Xingxiao's side without anyone noticing... well, that's a bit difficult, but not impossible.

Anyway, if Xingxiao really attacks, we'll have to restart. It's all the same whether we restart sooner or later, so we might as well go and check it out sooner.

Just as Jiang Jiu was about to consider a specific plan, he saw the Star Core Essence move step by step to his side.

"?"

Xinggang lost a bet with March 7th and came to talk to Jiang Jiu.

She scratched her head, thinking for a moment about how to start a conversation.

Jiang Jiu tilted his head and looked at Xing with a puzzled expression.

"What's up?"

Xing nodded, then shook her head.

"I'm just a little curious."

"What are you curious about?"

After hesitating for a long time, Xing finally asked, "Um, I just saw you talking to yourself here, sometimes sad and sometimes smiling. Are all geniuses this unique?"

Jiang Jiu: "..."

Xing actually wanted to ask him if he had some kind of mental problem.

But after thinking about it, I realized they were guests after all, and I couldn't be so rude.
