This heroine is so despicable

"But...how could a living person suddenly disappear? We have to find her quickly!"

San Yueqi said anxiously - although they had not been together for long, she still liked the girl who was a head taller than her, acted funny from time to time, but would stand up to save her at critical moments.

"I have sent out all my puppets in the space station to search. The defense department is also looking, but there is no sign yet."

"Could they be the Star Core Hunters?" Dan Heng guessed, "They were able to sneak into the space station quietly, maybe... they have been hiding somewhere all this time?"

"Not quite like it."

Himeko shook her head.

"I have heard of the Star Core Hunters. Their leader Elio is a 'slave of fate'. Under his leadership, Kafka and the others act with a purpose every time. Since they handed the star to us in the beginning... there is no reason for them to take it back..."

"Could it be some strange object that has lost control?"

Walter asked.

"As far as I know, there are many dangerous artifacts in your collection, Ms. Black Tower. Due to the attack by the antimatter army, some of the artifacts are out of control or missing. Could it be that..."

"Impossible. Even if it's a toilet that can teleport people, it can't get rid of a good person in front of me, right?"

The few of them were suddenly at a loss as to what to do - if they didn't know something about Black Tower's character, they might have suspected that Black Tower had secretly kidnapped Xing and was taking him away for research.

Finally, Heita came up with an idea: "The only way now is probably to build a tracker first - isn't the star core still in that kid's body? Although it is very stable, it is still a star core. If we detect the energy of the star core, maybe...ah!"

Several people looked at the black tower in surprise as it suddenly screamed.

"what happened?"

"Found...her?"

"--ha?"

"It's in my office, you guys... forget it, just come over here."

After saying that, the black tower here went offline, and the puppet automatically switched back to AI hosting mode.

The train crew hurried to the simulated universe office in the Black Tower, and saw Xing, who had changed into a "Xianzhou style" outfit and had an innocent expression on his face, and...

A black tower doll with a kitten's mustache, a little turtle, a half-shaped "正" character, and a tic-tac-toe pattern painted on its forehead.

And she was holding Xing's hand, and it seemed that the latter was caught red-handed in the middle of painting.

Everyone - especially March, was very happy to see Xingyuan, but when they saw the black tower man covered with graffiti, they almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

"This...what is going on?"

------------------

About an hour later, everyone finally listened to Xing finish telling about his bizarre experience, and everyone was silent for a while.

"So... you... uh... went to another world, and then suddenly came back?" Sanyue asked blankly, "And you stayed there for almost two days, but in fact you were only there for... a few dozen minutes?"

Star nodded.

Several people looked at the black tower, who shrugged:

"The clothes she was wearing did look like handmade textiles, and the structure of her wings was quite interesting. If Aha hadn't played a joke on us, I'm afraid... she had indeed accomplished the feat of traveling through multiple dimensional universes in her physical body and returning safely."

"Is this really possible?" Sanyue couldn't help asking, "Could it be that some strange object sent Xing to a planet and then sent her back?"

Uncle Yang at the side seemed the calmest. He held his eyes and said:

"We can't rule out this possibility, but... the universe is huge, far beyond our understanding, and the star cores themselves have powers and abilities that we haven't figured out yet. It's not unprecedented for a person to travel to another world."

【Speaking from personal experience belongs to】

Xing blinked - what does that mean, could it be that Uncle Yang has known someone in a similar situation to him?

"I'm becoming more and more interested in you now!"

Heita seemed to be full of energy, and even his eyes seemed to be shining when he looked at Xing.

"It seems that your physique is really extremely special. Even the other star cores that I know of, most of them can only bring destruction and chaos to people. Letting a person travel through the world... is really unheard of. No! I have to give you a detailed physical examination as much as possible! To see what's going on!"

Xing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the excited Heita, so he simply took advantage of the situation and hid behind Ji Zi, hugged her arm and rubbed it hard:

"Sister Jizi! You must not hand me over to her! I feel like she's going to dissect me!"

Ji Zi smiled helplessly: "It's okay to let the Black Tower help you check. After all... this matter is really too incredible. I'm worried that this kind of time travel will cause any damage to your body."

As expected, it is Jizi's mother who cares about her!

They immediately took Xing to the medical section, and Heita personally became the attending physician and examined Xing with various instruments. The final result was that she was in poor health - the core of the star was also stable.

"How strange... What is the mechanism that triggers this kind of time travel? Is it a simulated universe? Let's go! Let's try again!"

So, in the following half day, Xing played the real simulated universe, met several simulated star gods in the simulated universe, and then cleared the advance version.

[Or should I say... the first world?]

The star that had withdrawn from the simulated universe immediately stretched out his hand towards the black tower doll that had washed its face, and said:

"I got through, I'm very generous, please give me money!"

"Reward?"

Heita felt that he couldn't keep up with Xing's thinking and could only shrug: ⒋

"Then go ask Estelle for some credit points and tell her that it was I who approved it."⑧

"Don't you have those...glittering colorful stones?"

Heita was confused: "...What is that? Are you looking for diamonds? That's easy, I'll synthesize a batch for you later."⑦

Xing immediately frowned - how unromantic...

[So straight women are boring] 0

In the following days, Black Tower used a large number of incomprehensible instruments - some of which were hastily ordered by Estelle and delivered by the Interstellar Peace Company overtime - to perform a large number of physical examinations on Xing.

Black Tower, who still had no research results, immediately lost interest in Xing. After the last check, he shrugged at her:

"Tell Ji Zi later that this is the end. You don't need to come tomorrow. I can't figure out anything. It's like a black box. Maybe I should go back and ask Ruan Mei. She's an expert in life sciences. I'm not interested in you for now. Go away."

[You feel that Heita is just like a scumbag who walks away after grinding tofu. She has been enjoying your body to satisfy her curiosity for the past two days, but now she has turned her back on you. She is such a heartless woman. As compensation, you decide...]

Xing picked up the black tower doll and walked towards the platform - it's quite light?

The latter did not resist, but just stared at her strangely:

"What are you doing? There's already a puppet of mine on the train."

Xing explained: "That one is for public use, this one is my private one."

What a terrible statement

Heita thought about it and nodded: "Forget it, I'll give you one, but you are not allowed to sell me out or do anything weird. Also, remember to come back from time to time to test my simulated universe!"

Xing nodded: "Test it, test it hard!"

[Wait, when you say test, are you testing the simulated universe or...]

When she arrived at the train platform, Jizi was already waiting for her:

"Heita told me that now you... huh? Why did you take another doll of hers?"

Xing thought about it and shrugged: "Is it considered taking some...local specialties with you before you leave?"

Volume 021: On the Journey: Interstellar Travel

Since Ms. Heita didn't say anything, Ji Zi naturally had no objection to Xing bringing some "specialties" on the train, so she took Xing on the train.

The observation car of the train was as quiet and peaceful as ever. The conductor was humming a song while watering the plants and seemed to be in a good mood. March was also here and immediately smiled when he saw Xing.

"You're here! These past two days I've been worried that Ms. Black Tower might not want to let you go! Also, why did you bring another of her dolls?"

Xing looked at the motionless black tower doll in his arms and shrugged: "Can it be placed in the room as... a clothes rack?"

[Really? Nothing else?]

"Is that so? Wait, that's not right! You and the Black Tower doll are too different in size. You're about the same size as me..."

So Xing thought about it and held the black tower in front of Sanyueqi: "If Sanyue wants it, I can give it to you."

"Uh...I...I'd better forget it!"

March waved her hands quickly.

"I feel like it would be a little... uncomfortably comfortable to have more lifelike dolls in the room, especially since they belong to Ms. Black Tower..."

【What is true? 】

Xing suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know which room to live in, so he asked Ji Zi beside him.

The latter said that all four rooms in the guest carriage in the second section were currently full, so she prepared a separate room for Xing in the third section.

"...The basic furniture inside is already prepared, but if you want a more personalized decoration like Xiao Sanyue, you can report to the conductor before the train departs. The conductor will communicate with the officer in charge of this matter at the Black Tower Space Station."

March, who was standing by, glanced at Pam not far away and whispered:

"I'll tell you a secret. The conductor is actually a bit socially anxious in front of outsiders. Whenever the train is running low on supplies, if Sister Jizi and Uncle Yang are not around, he will ask us to go and negotiate."

[Wouldn't it be possible to secretly take kickbacks? ]

However, Xing currently has no need for personalized decoration - she has made up her mind to sneak into San Yueqi's bed every night from now on.

It's easy to find excuses - don't forget that she is a baby who was born not long ago. How insecure it would be for her to sleep in an entire carriage alone.

"Speaking of which, are we leaving soon?"

Ji Zi nodded: "I have already taken care of the rest of the things. In fact, I have been waiting for Heita to finish the final check on you these two days."

"So... where will the train go next?"

"As always, we follow Akivalli's footsteps, but... I can tell you first that our next destination is a planet numbered 'Yaliro-VI'. The last time the train went there was thousands of years ago. According to the records in the think tank, it was a lush and beautiful planet. However, a long time has passed... Perhaps there have been earth-shaking changes there."

Xing scratched her head. She always felt that there was something she hadn't finished in the space station.

[You can't help but start to wonder if you missed any side plots or hidden endings at the Black Tower Space Station? ]

Jizi seemed to notice Xing's hesitation: "Don't worry, the train has been regularly resupplying at the Black Tower Space Station. We will come back from time to time, and you can still see Black Tower or Ester and the others."

It’s broken! Just say you forgot something—you forgot to build a good relationship with the rich woman!

Unfortunately, at this point, Xing could only nod:

"I don't have any questions anymore. When does the train leave?"

"It will be soon. During this time, you can ask Sanyueqi to take you around the train and release the doll of Ms. Black Tower."

So Xing followed Sanyue to the guest room carriage at the back. After putting down the doll, he first visited Danheng's room.

"Danheng! Here we come~" Sanyueqi opened the door.

Rather than a guest room, this place is more like a data room. Dan Heng was reading a book. He was not surprised at all that March Seven brought Xing in, as if he was already used to it.

Xing noticed that Danheng was just sleeping on the floor. Compared with Sanyueqi's cozy room, Danheng's room was too minimalist.

And with such a hard bed... can I really have a good rest?

"A hard bed is good for the spine, but a bed that is too soft is not good."

Xing looked at Dan Heng in surprise: "You... can actually read minds?"

"…It's just that your eyes are easy to understand."

Xing didn't quite believe it and felt that he was being underestimated. He immediately stared at Dan Heng, who sighed helplessly:

"Although I don't want to guess, you are probably thinking - 'Guess what I'm thinking now'..."

Xing was so frightened that he took a step back: "You said you can't read minds!?"

Xiao Sanyue was also a little surprised: "Teacher Danheng has such a hidden setting!?"

"..."

Dan Heng silently looked at his two companions on his future pioneering journey, and felt that the road ahead was increasingly bumpy. Finally, he sighed, said nothing more, and buried his head in reading.

Then, realizing that they couldn't amuse Dan Heng no matter what they did, the two of them left his room with a smile on their faces.

After March helped Xing decorate her new room and posed a funny pose for the Black Tower doll, Pam's voice came from the train broadcast:

"Hello - Hello? Attention, passengers! Attention, passengers! The train is about to change. Please assemble in the train lobby. I repeat - the train is about to change. Please assemble in the train lobby!"

Rushing to the hall with Sanyue, Xing found that Ji Zi and Lao Yang were there, but Dan Heng still hadn't come out.

"Are you angry with us?"
