Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

"I never thought that Star Harbor would stop one day. It was because of the abnormal movement of the star core. What a pity. The stars are drifting in the night, and the clouds in the silver pond are imitating the sound of water..."

She turned around and roughly explained the situation to everyone: "The Star Raft is the basis for navigation between Luofu and the outside world. Once the production line of the Return Star Port is interrupted, the routes inside and outside the Immortal Boat will probably be suspended for a while.

After saying that, Tingyun nodded again, and said with some gloating, "But it's good, it saves me the job of accompanying the delegation."

"Ms. Tingyun, you don't seem to be worried about the Immortal Boat at all?" Sanyueqi asked with a raised eyebrow. Why did he sense the resentment of the workers...

"Oh, what are you talking about, benefactor?" Tingyun waved his hand and explained clearly, "Business is all about not showing your emotions. Among the storms that the alliance has experienced, the current chaos is not a big deal."

Then, she remembered what Kevin had said before, and quickly said to Qiandi: "However, when we really meet Kafka, we will have to rely on you, my humble servant. I am just a minor official, so I can only cheer you on from the side~"

Kevin and San Yueqi had no objection. After all, he was the one who said it himself. Xing on the side also nodded, folded his arms around his chest and looked at Tingyun, saying seriously.

"Then you should stay quiet and stay out of the way. Especially the bell on your body, it's best not to ring, otherwise it will easily attract hatred!"

Tingyun looked at Xing in surprise, but soon expressed her understanding: "Is that so? Then my bell is really ingenious. However, thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it..."

"Xiao Diting, I'm counting on you~" Tingyun waved behind her, but she felt Xing's strange eyes looking at her, so she looked up and added, "Of course, the benefactor is also..."

Chapter 120 Kafka's Traces

"Oh, how can a mere little beast like Di Ting be better than the Galaxy Bat Man?" Xing looked down at Di Ting and mocked him in the way the people on the Immortal Boat spoke.

“Awool woof—woof woof—!!!” Di Ting immediately raised his head and responded.

This time, Di Ting's meaning was a little difficult to understand. It contained three parts of ridicule, three parts of indifference, and four parts of indifference. Even San Yueqi, the gold medal translator, was unable to understand it for a moment and could only tilt his head and deduce it step by step.

"Uh...it said: It's so funny, don't cheat if you have the guts. I'm obviously one step ahead, how can you be a hero by stepping on my tail?" Kevin suddenly spoke up and translated without changing his expression, with an imperceptible dark red light wandering in his pupils.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's surprised eyes fell on him. Only Sanyueqi and Xing quickly thought of something and regained their composure.

But Sanyueqi still complained: "Brother Kevin, you... our beautiful girl's exclusive buff is no longer valuable."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense, Kevin is not a pretty girl." Xing was quite clear that Kevin's cheating was not the same as March's strange passive effect.

"The benefactors are indeed extraordinary in their own ways." Tingyun did not inquire into the details, but just spoke politely. He lowered his head and looked at Di Ting below, and asked with some doubt, "But do these few short sounds of little Di Ting really have so many meanings?"

Kevin nodded: "That's exactly what it means."

San Yue Qi also added: "Although it was only a few short sounds, each one contained different emotions, three parts of ridicule, three parts of..."

"Don't recite it, don't recite it. It's enough as long as we understand the meaning." Xing interrupted the spell directly, looked at Di Ting, and asked with a crooked mouth.

"Why, you still want to compete with me? And, I didn't step on your tail on purpose. It was obviously because your thing was too long that I stepped on it accidentally. I was going up the stairs at that time, and I was in such a hurry. It's normal to get hurt accidentally, right? I apologize."

After hearing this, the latter realized that the guy didn't care about the matter at all, and she even apologized, so he didn't care about it anymore.

Di Ting nodded firmly. He would not allow anyone to be better than him in his profession.

"That's fine, let's compete." Xing crossed his arms and said confidently, "If I won you by luck before, then you will definitely lose next time."

Then, she opened her arms and crossed them across her chest, pinching her fingers together, and shouted, "No one understands Kafka better than me."

Kevin twitched the corner of his mouth. Why does this guy sound so weird?

[No one knows how to save the world better than me! ]

The voice in my head suddenly spoke, using Kevin's voice.

Oh...I remember now, I heard it from here last time.

"So, the method to find Kafka is still the same as before?" March Seven asked, scratching his head.

"Yes." Tingyun nodded. "It's the same as the previous test of Di Ting. If Kafka is really in the Star Harbor, there will be some traces left. We can spread out and look for it. Maybe there are some suspicious objects."

"There's no need to disperse." Kevin suddenly spoke, and before Tingyun could reply, he continued.

"The cave is now greatly affected by the star core. If we search separately, someone might be in danger or meet Kafka alone. This is not a prudent move."

"Indeed, separation can speed up the process, but there may be potential dangers. Staying together will slow things down, but we can all take care of each other."

Tingyun stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. After analyzing the situation, he apologized to Kevin, "You are the one who thought it through. I was anxious for efficiency and overlooked these important factors."

"It's okay, let's get started." Kevin didn't care, or maybe he did it on purpose.

Even if everyone dispersed, Kevin could still ensure the safety of Xing and Sanyueqi, but for Tingyun, given the current situation, he would not give her a chance to escape from his sight, unless she had a necessary reason to leave the team...

……

"Look at this... uh... long stick!" San Yue Qi, who was walking nearby, pointed at the thing leaning in the corner and shouted to the people behind him.

"Let me see..." Tingyun stepped forward and squatted, frowning as he analyzed, "This is part of the weapon of the Cloud Cavalry Army. Look at the broken hole, it looks like it was cut off by something sharp."

After hearing this, San Yue Qi understood instantly and exclaimed, "Sure enough, that bad woman is still alive, right? I remember she had a long and sharp knife."

Xing on the side picked up the "stick", put it to her nose and sniffed it, then put it back on the ground. She looked at everyone and said calmly.

"It is indeed Kafka, but the scent is very faint. If I didn't remember her scent, I would have had a hard time smelling it."

Di Ting also went forward and sniffed, and indeed there was a strange and sharp smell, but it was not discouraged. After all, it was the first time it had obtained the information, and the other party had already left a record.

"You can even smell this, isn't it too outrageous? Your level reminds me of some kind of fanatic fans..." Sanyueqi spread his hands and complained, then exclaimed, "Are you really a fanatic fan of Kafka?"

"No, I'm a black fan." Xing corrected, and then walked to the other side, leaving only the unclear March 7th there.

Sanyueqi looked at Xing's back, scratched his head and murmured, "Strange, she doesn't look like Kafka's black fan..."

"I heard from the staff at the Black Tower Space Station that black fans mean Black Tower fans." Kevin on the side reminded.

"This..." San Yueqi was speechless. Is this what you mean?

“Of course, some die-hard fans are also black,” Kevin added.

……

“Awoo—Woof—”

At the corner ahead, Di Ting stopped and seemed to have discovered something new.

"Is this a disposable cup?" Sanyueqi bent down and picked up the thing. "Immortal... Happy... Tea? Kafka still drinks beverages? You are really free."

"That shouldn't be the case..." Tingyun at the side was a little uncertain, but she added, "But this is the brand of tea I like to drink... Two cups a day, and work doesn't get tiring."

"So, Di Ting found the wrong place?" San Yueqi scratched his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Ting immediately shook his head and ran forward again.

"I think he smelled something related to it." Seeing this reaction, Ting Yun shook his head and chuckled, "It could also be that Kafka was using it to confuse people."

Kevin frowned slightly. Could a person really interpret such an insignificant detail like this? If the current Tingyun was not himself, what was the purpose of the replacement to be so dedicated?

This matter requires patience. The situation in Luofu is far more complicated than it appears on the surface. Both Jing Yuan and himself are fishing, but the latter is not just fishing for one fish. What he wants is for all the guys hiding in the background to show up.

That person is most likely the medium through which I found Adlifen, but this should be done after the matter of the Immortal Boat is resolved. And I also want to witness more here, and I need a strong reference object to test my strength standard...

Resisting the urge to directly seize consciousness, Kevin began to list the possibilities in his mind...

"Come on, come on, I found something again..."

Xing, who was not far ahead, ran back and waved to everyone.

Chapter 121: Hunter and Prey

"Wow! Another new discovery?" March 7 said with some surprise.

Xing nodded seriously and pointed behind him, saying, "I saw a box that smelled very much like Kafka. I deliberately resisted my instinct and didn't open the box. I came here specifically to call you guys to join me!"

When San Yueqi heard this, he quickly said, "Really? That's really hard for you. Let's go and take a look!"

……

Everyone followed Xing to the place she mentioned. A slightly abrupt wooden box was quietly placed at the end of the fork in the road, and above it was a fence that was two or three people tall.

Di Ting stayed obediently beside the box. It seemed that it had just run here. When it saw everyone coming, it barked excitedly.

"Ow—"

San Yueqi instantly understood what it meant - "There is something smelly here."

Xing also heard pride in the latter's tone, but she was too lazy to care about it now. The competition was just a spur of the moment event, and finding Kafka was the top priority.

She walked forward, pointed at the marks on the box and analyzed them to everyone: "Look, there are shoe prints and hand prints here. The size of the shoe prints is also closer to that of a woman."

"So I think Kafka must have climbed over the fence by stepping on the box. Look at the dust above, and the smell is also pointing this way."

Xing's explanation was very logical and everyone nodded, indicating that there was indeed nothing wrong with his analysis.

"Then this handprint is on the edge... It should be left when the box was opened. After all, there is a lot of dust on the box, and it looks quite obvious." March 7 also drew inferences from one example.

Tingyun also analyzed: "And judging from the marks, the fingers are slender, strong, and steady. It looks like a deadly hand."

"Let's open it and take a look. There should be something inside." Kevin suggested lightly.

Xing nodded, opened the box, reached in and searched around. Apart from some shiny colorful crystal-like things, there was only a piece of paper left.

"Let me see." Sanyueqi snatched the paper away, "Huh? There are words written on it, 'Do you like it? Here is a reward~'"

"Damn it, aren't we being led by the nose?" Sanyueqi threw the paper down angrily, but Xing caught it.

Looking up, I saw Xing stuffing the note and the colorful crystal into his pocket, not letting go of any of them, and muttering, "Loot, loot~"

Kevin and March 7 were already used to this and ignored her.

Tingyun just looked at her and chuckled, then said solemnly, "Kafka seems to have anticipated our actions. My benefactors, please be careful."

March 7 nodded, and Kevin suddenly turned around, but there was no one behind him.

Kevin frowned, looked at Xing who had just finished cleaning up, and asked, "Xing, are you sure you smelled in this direction just now?"

Xing looked at the fence above and replied with certainty, "It's definitely in this direction. I can't be mistaken about her scent."

"Woo woof——" Di Ting on the side also shouted.

Sanyueqi understood its meaning and translated: "It said, this is the right side."

"..."

Kevin didn't say anything. The feeling of being watched from behind couldn't have been an illusion. It seemed that she had never escaped... If that was the case, then let her do as she wished...

Tingyun on the side nodded thoughtfully and suggested: "Then please follow me, my benefactors. I remember there is a shorter way to get there."

"No need." Kevin replied calmly. He bent his knees slightly, jumped lightly, and stepped on the fence in an instant. He looked at everyone and said, "You can come up too."

"Ah, this..." Looking at this operation, Tingyun was speechless for a moment.
