Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

"That ball of light just now?" Yuexia followed the captain's footsteps and walked towards the tall girl with gray hair who was unconscious on the ground.

"Yeah, don't you think that thing actually looks quite familiar?" The captain turned his head and looked at Yuexia.

"[Imaginary Singularity]?" The moon whispered the name of the event that Hyperion and his companions had been fighting for half their lives.

"Yes, it's an object similar to an imaginary singularity." The captain nodded, squatted down and tried to smell the gray-haired girl's breath, "Yuexia, take this girl and let's go back to the central elevator."

"Yeah." Yuexia nodded, picked up the gray-haired girl with ease, turned around and followed the captain's footsteps.

The two people's soft footsteps gradually moved away from the strange object storage room and walked towards the central elevator.

The star core containment room that was originally open received instructions from Black Tower himself from somewhere in the universe, reconfirmed the containment code, closed the isolation door, and restarted the optical camouflage, restoring everything to its previous appearance.

Yuexia was unaware of this, and the captain, who had walked to the door of the collection room, turned around and glanced into the depths of the storage room. He saw that the transparent glass door had turned back into an ordinary metal door. He raised the corners of his mouth quietly, but indifferently withdrew his gaze and stepped out of the door of the strange object storage room.

Indeed, never underestimate anyone, whether they are partners or enemies.

Before he could look away, Yuexia, who had stepped out of the door first, whispered a reminder, "Captain! There's a situation." The captain's gaze immediately turned to the huge platform in front of the central elevator. A black-haired young man in a green short coat and a pale blue short-haired archer girl were fighting against a huge iron-gray bow-wielding centaur.

"To be honest, after being praised by Heita and Lao Yang, I also want to give it a try to see what abilities I have." The captain said, raising his right hand, and the Bloody Hand Saint appeared in the young man's hand.

The captain could feel that since his upgrade, his consciousness had gone to the center of creation and annihilation of the universe, which the Black Tower called the "Narrow Path of Fate". There had been a huge amount of energy hidden in his body. He had never tried this power before, and had no good way to use it.

But just now, seeing Kafka and Silver Wolf disappear inexplicably in front of his eyes, and the fact that he was helpless in doing anything about it, gave the captain more ideas.

It seems that I have to at least try the power that Black Tower and Lao Yang mentioned, which, after use and control, is stronger than 95% of the life in the universe, right?

Although there is no good way to use it, the captain firmly believes in the concept of flying bricks with great strength.

Is the Seventh Divine Key - Holy Fire Judgement very powerful? Not very powerful.

But is it really that clever? No, not at all.

I'm about to launch an awesome attack, which is essentially a powerful sword with flying bricks. The combined power of the two lances and the sword can even kill the user together.

so......

"I'm about to launch a powerful attack." There was a low laugh in the captain's voice, but his words made Yuexia stunned for a moment, and then she turned to look at the captain with extreme nervousness.

The bullet was fired the moment he turned his head under the moon.

The bullet, carrying with it an unusually clear green energy wave, passed before Yuexia's eyes.

The girl's eyes caught up with the bullet fired by the captain, and then she saw the strange-looking bullet hit the iron-gray centaur's shoulder blade, and then... it was bounced away... bounced away... flew away...

"Captain, you..." Yuexia turned back awkwardly for a moment, "How about I go first?"

However, the captain responded with a raised corner of his mouth and a calm voice, "No need, it's already dead."

The familiar sound of gunfire also attracted the attention of Danheng and Sanyueqi.

After the captain's bullet hit the Trampler, he took several steps back and retreated to the door of the central main elevator, protecting several injured security guards behind him. March Seventh held the compound bow, and for a moment he couldn't make up his mind whether he should shoot two more arrows at the Trampler.

After all, the current situation of this virtual soldier, the trampler, is really... weird.

It seemed very confused, stamping its hooves restlessly, and the humanoid upper body shook its head, as if...

"Drunk?" Facing Yuexia's doubtful gaze, the captain chuckled, "No, the shot I just fired injected a huge amount of life energy into him. Although it seems to be adding blood to the enemy...but..."

The captain's words had just fallen.

The Centaur Trampler's movement paused, and a slight crushing sound came from the Trampler.

At the place where the bullet fired by the Bloody Hand Saint had hit just now, an earth-yellow branch with a small leaf bag hanging on it broke the shell of the Trampler and poked its head out.

"I actually turned it into a ball of... well, nutrients."

As the captain finished speaking, the branches that emerged from the body of the virtual soldier suddenly grew rapidly. A sapling spanned decades of time in just three seconds.

Its roots penetrated the armor of the virtual soldier, drilled deeply into the polymer glass material of the elevator platform, and took root.

The trunk swelled, propping up the shell of the trampler, and in a brief moment, the seedling grew branches and leaves, transforming into an ancient tree with lush green leaves.

The shell of the Void Soldier Trampler became the decoration and trophy of the tree.

Under the captain's conscious control, the branches of the tree lifted up the trampler's four legs, supported its upper body, and supported its arms as they grew. The branches and trunk fixed the trampler's body into a posture of drawing a bow and shooting at the sun.

Brilliant.

"The power of [Abundance]..."

The captain sighed softly.

Dan Heng, who was guarding in front of the elevator and witnessed how the trampler died and how Jianmu grew, just glanced in the captain's direction and calmly put away the spear in his hand.

Chapter 6: The Captain Steps onto the Central Elevator

"How powerful..." Sanyueqi looked up at the trampler who was supported by the branches and murmured.

"It's not surprising that the envoy of [Feng Rao] can achieve this level." Dan Heng put away his gun and stood still, his eyes turning to the envoy of [Feng Rao].

"Captain, how did you do this?" Yuexia was obviously very curious about the ability displayed by the captain.

"Naturally, it's probably some very crude application, attaching life energy to the bullet and injecting it into the target's body, granting the target a certain degree of 'eternal life'." The captain walked to the side of the short Jianmu tree, raised his hand and gently patted the brown trunk of the tree, "The 'seed' of this tree is essentially the centaur just now."

March Seven originally wanted to walk forward and take a closer look at this strange tree, but after hearing the captain's words, the girl shuddered and took a few steps back.

Yuexia also looked at the captain with a strange expression, "Captain, although it is scary for me to kill the enemy with a crude weapon like a chainsaw, isn't your method a bit too...evil?"

"That's true..." The captain hesitated.

"Not really." Dan Heng looked at the Jianmu growing out of the Trampler's body. "Anyway, the fighting style used by the Captain is extremely consistent with the aesthetics of the Pharmacist."

To some extent, the virtual soldiers produced in the [Forge of War] were disposable consumables with an extremely short lifespan, and the captain's shot undoubtedly "cured" the "disease" called [short lifespan] in the trampler.

"And as far as the battle is concerned, we always have to deal with the soldiers of the Legion. As long as it's efficient, the means don't matter." Dan Heng said, pulling out the elevator permission card that Esta handed to him from his trouser pocket, and looking at the gathered people, "I think the Antimatter Legion also has the same mentality of destroying one world after another, it's just tit for tat."

"What Danheng said is right." Sanyueqi scratched his head, turned his head to look at the lush green Jianmu, and finally decided not to discuss such an inappropriate topic. "Anyway, all the staff in the containment section have been evacuated. Now we are the only ones left. Let's prepare to retreat."

"Reconsideration." Yuexia also nodded, "I feel that the girl I am carrying is about to wake up."

"Get in the elevator first."

A group of people entered the elevator one after another after scanning the card and opening the door. The captain looked at the head of the security department, "Do you need treatment?"

The young man named Alan hesitated for a moment. Considering the trampler who had grown into a tree in three seconds, Alan hugged his arm and shook his head cautiously, "It's just a minor injury."

"What about you?" The captain turned his gaze to several other security guards who seemed to be injured.

In the end, all I got in response were shakes of the head and thanks.

It is obvious that working in a space station whose main theme is "scientific research", the employees here have a keen sense of smell and instinctive resistance to becoming "research material".

"Um, I feel like vomiting..." A weak, slightly neutral female voice sounded in the corner of the elevator going up, "Can you help me take a look?"

The unfamiliar voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the elevator.

"As for you, it's probably because you've been holding the weight for too long. Your internal organs and stomach are feeling a little uncomfortable. Just take a rest. You don't need any treatment." The captain looked at the strange gray-haired girl and explained softly.

"Okay." The gray-haired girl struggled to stand up, holding on to the wall. She looked around the elevator and asked the group of strangers in front of her, "Excuse me, where is this place? Who are you? Where are we going?"

"Don't you remember what happened before you fell into a coma?" The captain stared at the tall girl with gray hair.

Xing thought carefully for a long time, but her mind was blank except for a few inexplicable words, so in the end the girl could only shake her head blankly.

"Well, your situation is more complicated. Anyway, just follow us first." The captain said, turning his head and looking at Yuexia.

Yuexia and the captain already had a tacit understanding, and she immediately understood what the captain meant.

【Look at her a little bit. 】

Xing also noticed the interaction between the captain and Yuexia, but she didn't respond.

But Sanyueqi, who didn't notice the winks between the captain and Yuexia, came up to the gray-haired girl and spoke enthusiastically, "Hello, my name is Sanyueqi."

The gray-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the enthusiastic girl with a silly temperament, "Hello, my name is Xing."

"You, have you lost your memory?" Sanyueqi stared at Xing's handsome and beautiful face with burning eyes, his tone expectant.

Xing hesitated for a moment and responded with mixed emotions, "My intuition tells me that losing my memory is not something to be thankful for."

"That depends on each person, right?" San Yue Qi raised his hand and nodded his chin. "Look, for example, I also lost my memory and still can't remember what kind of person I was before. But to some extent, we can be considered to be in the same boat."

Xing was very nervous, but she could sense that San Yue Qi had no ill intentions, so she could only nod her head stiffly to show her agreement, "It seems that we are indeed in the same boat."

"Right, right." Sanyueqi smiled cheerfully, seemingly not noticing Xing's complicated expression at all. Instead, he raised the camera hanging on his chest and said, "By the way, do you want to take a picture?"

"Take a photo?" Xing's gaze turned to the camera in Sanyueqi's hand.

"Yes, after all, I have lost my memory. In order to prevent the next time I lose my memory, I left some records in advance. Maybe I can remember something in the future."

Xing was stunned for a moment. She stared at Sanyueqi's smile carefully, but she didn't see any negative emotions from the girl in front of her. At this moment, Xing, who had no memory of the 'past' in her head, seemed to be moved by Sanyueqi's enthusiasm. A smile appeared on her face, and she responded softly, "Okay."

And just in the corner of the elevator, when Sanyue and Xing were talking, Danheng inconspicuously approached the captain and said in a low voice, "That girl."

"I don't know. Two mysterious people stole the Black Tower's [Star Core] and implanted it into the girl right in front of me." The captain answered Dan Heng's doubts in a low voice, "I have to bring her to the Black Tower and see how the Black Tower plans to deal with her."

"Her clothes are not in the style of the space station." Dan Heng stared at the two girls who were taking pictures.

"Well, I suspect that she was specially found or brought in by those two mysterious people." The captain glanced at Xing who was holding Sanyueqi's camera and flipping through the photos. "The Black Tower also clearly stated that the [Antimatter Legion] could not invade the space station. The [Legion] was the work of those two mysterious people, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."

"You keep talking about the mysterious man..."

"One has short purple hair tied in a ponytail, has a good figure, is about 1.7 meters tall, and has spiderweb patterns on her clothes; the other has a punk look with a silver spiral ponytail, is no taller than 1.6 meters, and both are women."

"[Star Core Hunter]." Dan Heng confirmed the identity of the mysterious man described by the captain with certainty.

"From the name, we can tell that they often deal with [Star Cores]." The captain stroked his chin and turned his gaze to Dan Heng.

"But now I am more curious about what a star core is."

Chapter 2: Captain in the Black Tower Office Mk

The so-called [stellar core] and its accompanying phenomena are extremely aggressive.

[The core of the star] continues to expand, disturbing the stable imaginary energy in the orderly universe, cutting off countless originally smooth interstellar routes into cliffs, causing tsunamis, isolating civilizations from each other, and expanding without limit like a cancer, engulfing everything.

Therefore, the existence of the [Star Core] itself is directly called the [Cancer of All Worlds] by the Interstellar Peace Company.

These people hate dogs and these things, but due to many reasons such as their rarity and strange nature, they are inevitably spied on by some forces in private.

For example, the Black Tower that collects [Star Cores] for research.

For example, [Star Core Hunter].

"I collect [Star Cores], or at least I purchased them through peaceful means, and detained them to observe data or do some simple research." The black tower doll that looked like a little girl crossed her arms and had a blank expression on her face. "But [Star Core Hunters] are real radicals."

"Break into the Atuin Universal Auction and directly snatch the auction items."

"Sneak into the electronic sanctuary of Inupis. A series of actions caused tens of thousands of data demons to flood into reality, causing Inupis to enter the Day of Judgment ahead of schedule."

"The most outrageous incident was on the ring world Golconda. The [Star Core Hunters] spread the Paradox Virus to the colony, causing 46 million inorganic life forms to go out of control. During this time, they stole the [Star Core] at the gravitational equilibrium point of Golconda, which directly led to the complete silence of the entire world of Golconda."

"So far, including what happened in the space station today, the [Star Core Hunter] has a total of 45 criminal records, and is suspected to be related to at least eight incidents directly or indirectly involving [Star Core]." The puppet in the black tower raised its chin slightly and stared at the captain. "So, what kind of organization do you think [Star Core Hunter] is?"

"Obviously, they are radical criminals..." The captain paused and hesitated, "But, their actions reminded me of an old friend."

An old friend?

Everyone present turned their eyes to the captain's face which was mostly covered by the hood.

Only Yuexia seemed to hesitate for a moment after hearing the captain's words, and then murmured to herself, "[Ferryman]?"

"Yes, they hold on to some unknown belief, pulling themselves apart, and running wildly on the road of madness." The captain nodded, but quickly shrugged, "But this is just my wishful thinking. What if they are just pure lunatics?"

"No..." Xing suddenly spoke, continuing the captain's words.

As a result, everyone present turned their attention to the [Star Core Spirit] who seemed to have a close relationship with the [Star Core Hunter].

"After I woke up, I did lose my memory, but..." The Star Core Spirit pursed his lips, "I remember one sentence she told me."

Just now, Xing and everyone else listened to the account of the confrontation between the captain and Kafka in the Star Core Containment Room, so she at least had some understanding of the current situation, but she still stood up and spoke well of Kafka and other [Star Core Hunters].

"Reach the end with your own will." The Star Core Spirit looked around at everyone. "They are not crazy at least to say such things. They must have some plan and purpose."

Well, it seems that the Star Core Elves do not completely agree with what the [Star Core Hunter] did.

"But these have nothing to do with our situation." The puppet girl crossed her arms, "They violated my private property and disposed of my collection at will. My property is not lost, but my property has grown legs..."

"I am not your property." The Star Core Spirit raised his right hand and gave a strong and righteous response.

"Indeed." Black Tower nodded, glanced at the Star Core Spirit, and replied calmly, "You are the 'legs' that grew out of my property."

The Star Core Spirit blinked his eyes and opened his mouth, but found that he seemed unable to refute Black Tower's words, so he had to lower his hands in disappointment.
