Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

"Just tell me what you think. Well... I respect... your choice."

Kevin leaned forward, holding his chin with one hand and putting instant noodles into his mouth with the other hand, slurping while waiting for Walter's reply.

"I never thought that the enlightened being is still alive and traveling in the quantum ocean..."

Walter's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air. He always felt uncomfortable when the Quantum Sea was mentioned. Then he put the teacup back on the table, looked at Kevin, and asked.

"But when do you plan to go to Adrifen?"

"It's not clear yet." Kevin shook his head, "But I think the sooner the better, it would be best if we have the approximate coordinates of the range after we have dealt with the matter of the Immortal Boat. The power of space can help us travel back and forth quickly.

"But the prerequisite is that we can accurately find the world where Adrifen is located among the many worlds, and you also know the estimated situation there. This is time-consuming and laborious."

"If there is an opportunity that allows us to connect with people related to the destruction and follow the clues, it will be much easier."

After listening to Kevin's explanation, Walter reacted quickly. He remembered someone, "You mean...?"

"It's just what you think." Kevin nodded calmly, "So, there's no need to rush. Jing Yuan and I are both playing the long game to catch the big fish."

As he spoke, he sat up straight, raised his hand and waved it, and the empty instant noodle bucket in front of him disappeared instantly. Looking up at Walter, Kevin raised the corner of his mouth and continued.

"However, compared to Jing Yuan's vigilance, I already knew that the fish was moving."

"When did you find out?" Walter asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Just now." Kevin raised his hand, and a virtual panel appeared in front of Walter. "Although it was only an extremely short moment, ordinary people might not be able to sense it, but because of the blessing mark of destruction, I was able to sense and capture the vague breath."

"I have converted it into a simulation data model. Tell me your judgment, Walter."

Walter stared at the virtual panel intently. When he saw the simulated data with extremely large fluctuations, his eyes widened and he began to analyze it with a frown.

"The Vanguard of Catastrophe... or the Lord of Extinction?!"

"Just tell me if it's a coincidence or not?" Kevin raised his fingers and tapped the table, looking at Walter and sighed, "Whatever you think will come true. Although her true level cannot be determined, the fact that she is the one who destroyed that side has been determined."

Kevin closed his eyes and felt it for a moment. He had already kept an eye on Xing and March 7 without anyone noticing. When he opened his eyes again, he told Walter about the current situation.

"At present, it seems that Xing and the others are very close to Tingyun, but apart from the unusual movement just now, the latter seems to have no other movements."

Walter nodded slightly, stroking his chin and thinking for a moment. He recalled the yellow-green light ball and its illusory characteristics, and speculated.

"So she is not taking action now, so she must have other intentions. The words and actions of Tingyun that we have seen before are relatively normal, but now there is such a change. I am afraid that the former has been replaced by her. It is very likely that the person we are facing next will not be the real person."

Listening to Walter's analysis, Kevin waved his hand.

"It's okay. We have been wary of her and didn't notice any movement before. However, we can only know what will happen next after we see her. I need to check her condition again before we can draw any conclusions. Don't worry about Xing and the others. I have protection."

drip-drip-drip-

When the notification sounded, Kevin raised his phone. He had sent the data and speculation to Jing Yuan as soon as possible. It seemed that Jing Yuan had replied.

……

Jing Yuan: Thank you Mr. Kevin for the information, but the situation is still unclear. Since many forces are involved, we should not act rashly before finding out the truth. Just continue to perform your mission. I will secretly dispatch Izumoqi to investigate.

Jing Yuan: As for Tingyun's condition, we also need your cooperation during the investigation. Since that person didn't really take any action, let's just wait and see how she performs.

……

Kevin casually replied "OK" and threw the phone to Walter. While he was looking through the messages, Kevin leaned back in his chair and said.

"Now it has become a situation of being sandwiched between two sides. Let's see how things develop next."

Walter nodded and handed the phone back to Kevin. Hunting, abundance, destruction, development, and the star core hunters, this complex situation, after he understood it a little, he no longer felt the same sense of urgency as before.

He shook his head, feeling something was wrong, and felt that he was getting too big. Suddenly, he remembered Tingyun's reminder to him. Did he need psychological counseling as well? It shouldn't be that serious, right?

Walter picked up the tea on the table and drank it all. He calmed down a little and looked at Kevin opposite him who took out another bucket of instant noodles. He didn't know what to do.

"A new visual shared communication function has been added to the consciousness communication system. You can try it, but the prerequisite is that someone will agree to your application." Kevin, who was speeding up the softening of instant noodles, reminded.

Walter nodded in surprise. There is a new module! But I always feel that this function is a bit of an invasion of other people's privacy.

He already knew about Xing and Sanyueqi's situation. Jizi should still be drinking coffee. As for Pam... forget it.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to send the application to Dan Heng. At least Dan Heng was currently doing his job and would not see anything strange.

……

At this moment, on the other side of Liuyun Ferry, Dan Heng was leading Yan Qing on an inspection tour.

But along the way, apart from some evil monsters, no other unusual people or things were seen, let alone the trace of Blade, not even a single hair was seen.

In fact, Dan Heng himself also had a strange feeling in his heart. In the past, it was Blade who was chasing him, but now, the situation was reversed.

It has been a long time since I last set foot on this land. The Immortal Boat is still the same as when I left, with almost no changes...

In Danheng's memory of Luofu, apart from the darkness, this place is the most familiar. He clearly remembers that he left Luofu along this road.

"Teacher Dan Heng, I haven't found any trace of that person here."

Yan Qing walked out from the corner. Since it was the general's order, he took his work very seriously and searched without any ambiguity.

As for the name he called him, Dan Heng didn't care much. The young man said: Since the general asked me to follow you, there must be a deep meaning behind it. Calling you teacher is also a sign of respect for your skills.

Although the young man did not tell Dan Heng what his special skill was, he was very respectful to Dan Heng.

Dan Heng was about to nod in response when a line of words suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Walter has initiated a visual sharing communication application to you, do you agree?

Agree | Reject】

Dan Heng sighed. Although he didn't quite understand, generally speaking, it was not the same as before. However, Mr. Walter was looking for him, so there must be something, right?

After thinking about it, Dan Heng's eyes focused on the two words on the left.

Chapter 112 Walter feels bad

Danheng chose the option to agree. Although it was a visual sharing communication, what was shared was only the applicant's vision, but he did not feel any change in his vision.

There is just a translucent status bar at the most inconspicuous edge to indicate that it is still in communication status. It will not affect the combat vision, which is quite user-friendly.

"Mr. Walter, is there something urgent that you suddenly come to me for?" Dan Heng asked in his heart.

"It's nothing urgent. This is a new module of the consciousness communication system. I'm here to test it. Just pretend I don't exist."

Walter answered truthfully, but seemed to remember something and reminded him.

"General Jingyuan has issued us a new permit. You should have a copy of it. Remember to check it. It may help you."

Dan Heng nodded slightly, took out his mobile phone under Yan Qing's puzzled gaze, checked and received the license certificate.

"Teacher Dan Heng, what is this?"

Yan Qing walked forward and took a closer look, and immediately understood what it was.

"An insider? Are they the guys from the Medicine King's Secret Teachings? I heard from the general that these guys have started to stir up trouble again recently. The recent frequent appearances of demonic spirits may have something to do with them."

Dan Heng nodded, but he might not be able to use this thing, as his main goal now was to hunt down Blade.

What's more, Yan Qing, who was standing by, was a brave guard of the Yunqi Army and had the power to arrest suspects. His permission certificate should have been obtained as a result of some situation with Mr. Walter.

"It's okay, but what we are doing now has nothing to do with this. If we encounter someone who is worthy of suspicion, this thing may be useful..."

bang bang bang-

A loud crash interrupted Dan Heng's words.

The two looked at each other and immediately glanced in the direction of the sound. They saw a strangely behaving fish-shaped mechanical creature on the sidewalk not far away, banging against the container.

"This is... a day dragon fish, right? Why does it look so strange? Is there something wrong with its behavior logic?"

Yan Qing looked at the ingenious creation and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Let's go and take a look. There's no point in making simple guesses." Dan Heng suggested.

Yan Qing nodded. According to the general's previous intention, he had not intended to let himself get involved in this matter, but the appearance of Dan Heng made him change his mind. Naturally, he had to listen to Teacher Dan Heng obediently.

……

The two approached the Lantern Dragonfish together, but the latter did not notice their arrival and continued to hit the container with great persistence, completely ignoring the fact that its shell was already covered with cracks.

There was a reason for this, and as the two got closer, they could faintly hear the hoarse growl coming from inside the container.

“Is it the devil’s Yin body…?!”

Yan Qing frowned in confusion and surprise, and soon determined that the man should be one of the demonic Yin bodies. The alienated matter in the body also changed the vocal cords, and only endless pain, regret and wailing came out...

"But...how did he get into the container? There's no other opening."

Yan Qing scratched his head and looked around. He saw the ingenious creature, the Lantern Dragon Fish, which had been knocked to the ground with its top shell shattered. He wondered if this thing was usually so intelligent? How strange!

Dan Heng shook his head and pointed to the inconspicuous path at the other corner and analyzed.

"No, there is another road on the side. He should be in the gap and has not really entered the container. It is just an illusion caused by the direction of the sound."

Yanqing raised his head, said "oh" with a look as if he understood, and asked again.

"Then why did this Lantern Day Dragon Fish appear here inexplicably? Was it attracted by this evil Yin body?"

"But as I remember, this is just a decorative toy made by the workers of the Industrial Manufacturing Department. It usually just stands there stupidly and is unmoved by others' interference. It's not that smart, is it?"

Dan Heng shared Yan Qing's doubts, but he did not answer immediately. He just walked forward and squatted beside the paralyzed mechanical creation to check it out.

Raising his hand to pick up the broken shell, Dan Heng vaguely felt that something was wrong. Why could something made of purely mechanical material have such a short-lived strange activity?

I always feel like I've seen it somewhere... but it was ignored.

Dan Heng couldn't help but frown slightly. He could feel that the activity of the fragment in his hand had begun to weaken.

So he turned his gaze towards the sunken top shell of the mechanical creation, peeled off the broken shell bit by bit, put his arm deep into it and began to grope, and finally, Dan Heng took out a piece of green jade with electronic contacts on the surface.

"Teacher Danheng, what is this...?" Yan Qing, who had just walked over, looked at the jade piece and asked in confusion.

Dan Heng held the jade piece in his hand, glanced at Yan Qing again, and explained in a way that he thought he could understand: "It can be regarded as the underlying control center of this ingenious creation."

After listening to Dan Heng's explanation, Yan Qing just nodded as if he understood, and did not ask any more questions.

Dan Heng also held up the jade piece and began to observe it. At this moment, he probably guessed why this ingenious creation behaved strangely.

The explosion of the star core caused pollution to many of Luofu's cave spaces. Due to its strange and changeable nature, this mechanical creature was also affected by the pollution and seemed to be given a short life.

That's why he reacted to the demon's roar and wanted to bang his head against the wall...

However, this strange characteristic reminded him of the monsters he had faced in the Rift. However, the degree to which the immortal boat was affected by the star core was not that deep at present, and the number of monsters appearing in the Rift was relatively small.
