Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

During the ecological restoration project, the space station staff caused chaos, which Shiluva was unable to handle by herself, and ultimately the pressure fell on Xing.

This is my personal debt of favor.

"It's really okay." Xing said solemnly again, "Since I arrived at Beloberg, I have been telling myself that I can't leave any regrets. After all, this is my first time [exploring], and I want everything to end perfectly."

"Yeah." Xiluwa took a step forward, opened her arms, and hugged Xing, "I know, thank you."

It was visibly that Xing's whole body stiffened for a moment. He subconsciously raised his hand, but it stopped in mid-air. While the Star Core Spirit was hesitating, Xiluwa had already let go of Xing and took half a step back.

Then, Shiluwa couldn't help laughing, "Oh, you're blushing."

"No...no..." Xing looked away and scratched his slightly hot face.

"I can't make any promises to you on behalf of Beloberg, but I can say on my own behalf that if you need anything in the future, come to me." Xiluwa looked at Xing and his expression became serious. "No matter how far away you are, as long as I am able to help you, I will do my best to help you."

"Actually, well, there are still some now." Xing raised his eyes and looked at Xiluwa.

"You say!" Shiluwa waved his hand and almost patted his chest to make a loud noise.

"Hold another one!" Xing stared at Xiluwa's beautiful figure and the full fruit on her chest with her pale golden eyes, "I didn't feel it clearly just now!"

Xiluwa was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks also turned slightly red, but she was thicker-skinned than the Star Core Spirit anyway. She raised her hand and poked Xing's forehead, "We'll talk about it next time you come to Beloberg!"

Rubbing his forehead, Xing just smiled and said, "Then it's settled."

"Yeah." Xiluwa nodded and watched Xing turn around and leave and get on the train.

As the train door slowly closed, Shiluwa let out a breath and watched the train slowly leave the platform, stepping on the starlight, dragging its comet tail and disappearing from her sight.

"That guy, although he's not reliable when it comes to speaking, his emotional intelligence is still very high to some extent, right?" A slightly low male voice sounded beside Shiluwa.

"Captain?" Xiluwa was startled, and turned her eyes to a group of men and women who had walked up to her without her noticing, "You and Miss Yuexia didn't get on the car?"

"Yuexia and I will stay in the space station for the time being to help Heita with some experiments." The captain smiled, "You guys will also be leaving for the return journey in a few days, right?"

"Yeah." Xiluwa nodded with a complicated expression, "Xing has arranged everything for us."

"Don't feel any psychological pressure. Work hard to develop yourself. There are many civilizations in history that have received similar favors from [Nameless Guest]. Most people don't ask for anything, just that what they do is in line with their own preferences." The captain patted Xiluwa on the shoulder. "The best way to repay the star is to return to your planet and work hard to restore the ecology. Don't let her sincerity go to waste. That's enough."

"Yes." Shiluwa nodded.

"Well, Yuexia and I will leave first. The Black Tower is still waiting for us." The captain smiled at Xiluwa.

"Well, I hope you can come to Yalilo as a guest sometime."

"I will." Yuexia turned around and smiled at Yuexia, "When the time comes, I hope to see you flourishing."

"I will." Xiluwa also smiled and responded by quoting Yuexia's words.

Perhaps our fate ends today, or perhaps it will continue to evolve. No one can predict what will happen in the future, including the "Slave of Fate" who claims to see through countless futures.

Every tiny choice will lead the so-called "destiny" in a completely different direction.

The Captain and Yuexia entered Heita's office. Under Heita's arrangement, they entered the [Simulated Universe] together. At this moment, Heita didn't know that the project she and many geniuses had spent countless efforts to create was about to face the risk of exploding from the inside out...

At this moment, the Star Train, which had left the space station [Black Tower] and was about to enter the range of the gravitational tide that could be used for warping, welcomed an uninvited guest...

A real invader.

---

"I'm sorry to interrupt [Nameless Guest]'s party, but please allow me to tell you why I'm here..." The woman made up of virtual images strolled in the observation car of the train and said in a gentle tone, "I hope that the Starry Sky Train can change its destination once."

"Kafka..." Xing narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone filled with trepidation and complexity.

Jizi reached out her hand and gently blocked Xing and Kafka, interrupting Xing's words, "Kafka, the Star Core Hunter is on the wanted list of the [Company], and the number under your avatar is very impressive. Do you know how much your reward is?"

Kafka looked out the window at the cosmic scenery, her tone slightly nonchalant, "I don't really care. The so-called bounty order is a small bounty, and when the number exceeds a certain threshold, it is no longer a bounty, but a compliment. The more spectacular the number, the greater the compliment."

"As wanted criminals, you are quite open-minded." March Seven also stepped forward to Xing and stood between the gray-haired star core spirit and Kafka.

"The Captain and the Black Tower's evaluation of you seems surprisingly accurate now." Walter pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "A group of lunatics, led by a madman who claims to be able to see fate, and a group of lunatics with their own unique characteristics, chasing the most dangerous thing in the entire universe."

Kafka turned around and looked at the people on the train. "The Envoy of [Abundance], the [Captain]... I'm sorry that I didn't see him on the train. Otherwise, maybe your next journey would be much easier."

Himeko frowned.

Walter pushed up his glasses.

March blocked Kafka's view of Xing like an old hen protecting her chicks.

Xing had a complicated expression on her face, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"As for the [star core]..." Kafka paused, "In this regard, the train is no less capable than us."

Ji Zi was silent for a moment, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, not intending to dwell on the topic of [Star Core]. "Kafka, you've come to the wrong place. We have our own plans, and we have no intention of changing our destination."

Kafka smiled, raised a finger and placed it on her lips, her tone slightly teasing.

"Himeko, right?"

"Perhaps, I can convince you..."

"maybe?"

Chapter 73: Data Redundancy Area

"Everyone, have you heard of [Luo Fu]?"

Kafka put down her right hand and smiled softly, "One of the six ships of the Immortal Boat Alliance. At the moment, this ship is very close to the train. You can reach Luofu in at most three jumps."

Ji Zi and Lao Yang looked at each other, but neither of them spoke. Instead, they each thought about the meaning of Kafka mentioning [Luo Fu].

Because it was obvious that Kafka wanted to go to the fairy boat [Luofu] with her group.

"Moreover, forty-five system hours ago, a star core exploded on Luofu." Kafka smiled. "It was an unexpected disaster, wasn't it?"

She seemed to be seeking the opinions of everyone on the train.

"......" Ji Zi narrowed her eyes, but it was hard to see much real emotion from Kafka's face, "Who knows, the explosion of the star core was not caused by you hunters?"

"Sure enough, everyone would think so." Kafka crossed her arms and shrugged lightly. "To be honest, this star core has nothing to do with us, but the Xianzhou Alliance has already pinned the blame on the [Star Core Hunter]."

"As far as I know, General Jing Yuan, as a wise general of the Mingzao Xianzhou Alliance, should not act without a purpose." Walter stared at Kafka, not at all shaken by Kafka's words.

"My companion was captured." Kafka sighed, "But he really has nothing to do with the Star Core. He has a history with Luofu and is on Luofu's wanted list. I want to go to the Immortal Boat to take him away, and in the process prevent the crisis of the Star Core and clear our name."

"What does this have to do with us?" Xing suddenly asked.

"That's right, what does it have to do with our train?" March Seven seemed to be very resistant to the invader in front of her. As soon as Xing opened her mouth, she immediately followed suit, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

"Looking at the surface of the incident, it is indeed irrelevant." Kafka smiled, "But in the long run, the explosion of the [Star Core] on [Luofu] will eventually block the [Exploration] star track. Although [Luofu] can deal with the [Star Core], the rift will eventually contaminate the entire [Luofu]. Probably more than half of the lives on that spaceship will die."

"How could the Xianzhou Alliance, such a powerful force, be so fragile?" Walter narrowed his eyes.

"Luofu is not a harmonious society. Various contradictions and crises will surface against the backdrop of the [star core] explosion, and this is the real crisis that Luofu has to deal with." Kafka turned her head to look at Walter. She was really satisfied with this supporting actor.

"Then, what's the point of us going to Luofu?" Ji Zi frowned, looking a little conflicted.

"A force, a special force, will always play a role." Kafka smiled, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish, but when the water becomes muddy, some people will take advantage of the situation to fish, some small fish will float up, and some big fish will dive down..."

Her words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"Anyway, I asked my companions to leave the coordinates." Kafka placed one hand on her chest and bowed. "Although our goals are completely different, the paths of the stars will eventually intersect with each other."

"Goodbye." Kafka smiled softly. When she stood up, she looked at Xing and blinked at the girl. Then the virtual image disappeared into the air. In the train, the atmosphere among everyone fell into silence for a while.

"Yang Shu, Ji Zi, let's..." San Yue Qi's tone was a little hesitant, "What should we do?"

How to do?

What March 7 asked was probably about whether to go or not.

"To be honest, I can't believe that the powerful Immortal Boat Alliance would be broken by a star core." Walter frowned, seeming to be lost in thought.

"Most of the fortresses were breached from the inside." Ji Zi sighed, "The chaos caused by the star core is only temporary, but if someone takes advantage of the chaos to do something, it's really hard to say."

"Kafka just mentioned the captain." Xing suddenly spoke, making everyone's eyes subconsciously look at her.

Envoy of [Abundance], if that [Captain] is here, your journey may be much easier...

That’s what Kafka said.

"Feng Rao..." Old Yang was silent for a moment, "The birth of [Patrol] is because of the Jianmu given by [Feng Rao]. The Xianzhou Alliance has suffered from the sufferings of the people of Feng Rao and the evil creatures. Is it possible..."

"No matter how much we guess, it may not be as useful as going there in person." Ji Zi sighed, "We have to go."

Ji Zi looked around at everyone, and her eyes finally fell on Xing's face. "Xing said before that she is willing to believe in Kafka, so let's use this trip to witness whether Kafka is worthy of our trust."

"Pam, did you receive the coordinates?" Ji Zi turned her gaze to the conductor.

"I've received it. Very specific coordinates. It does require three jumps." Pam nodded. "Okay, March, go get Dan Heng."

"Yeah." San Yueqi nodded vigorously and ran towards the rest car.

"Xing, please contact the captain. Since we are not going to Pinoconi now and have to follow the plan set by the [Star Core Hunter] to go to [Luofu], we need him." Ji Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see." Xing took out his cell phone, quickly sorted out the current information, and sent it to the captain.

However......

The Captain was not in reality at all at this moment.

But...

———Simulated Universe——

"How do you feel now?" Heita's voice sounded in the captain and Yuexia's minds.

In the silent universe, the captain and Yuexia looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Just communicate with your consciousness. I can read your brain waves."

Captain: [I feel bad. How come Yuexia and I were born directly in the universe? ]

"Maybe it's a parameter error, or something else..." Heita's voice was a little hesitant, "You appeared in the data redundancy area? What's going on inside?"

Yuexia: [Isn’t this a question the captain and I should ask you?]

"I don't know. I just checked the records of the simulated universe. Your consciousness was guided in by a certain piece of data." The Black Tower responded calmly, "Anyway, describe your situation."

Captain: [I am in the universe with Yuexia, and there is a... can I describe it as a planet? ]

"How to say?"

Yuexia: [It is an area made up of fragmented land of different styles, roughly divided into three plates. The captain and I are quite far away from the land, but we can vaguely see that there seems to be something like lights. I can't judge the specific size of the land.]

Captain: [Can you let us log out? ]

"I hope you can go and take a look. I just said that this is the data redundancy area." Heita's voice was a little low. "There shouldn't be any strange land or lights in this place..."

"All data should be thrown into the redundant area and cleaned up regularly."

The captain and Yuexia looked at each other.

Captain: [Okay, we'll take this mission. After all, you've been taking care of us a lot recently.]

"I'll be online the whole time. Anyway, you guys go down and take a look."

Chapter 74: Jianmu and Land in the Redundant Area

"The so-called redundant area exists to buffer the flow of data." Heita softly explained to the captain and Yuexia the space they were in at the moment, "The simulated universe has been updated countless times, and many people have contributed. A lot of content needs to be retained, but it is impossible to delete and modify it quickly."

"The redundant area exists to store this data."

"Throw it in, pick and choose, take out the useful ones, throw the unused ones here, and wait until the system is ready to clear them out." Black Tower's voice was confused. "Logically speaking, the framework of the simulated universe was built by ScrewGum himself, so this kind of accident shouldn't have happened."

Captain: [I think I know what happened...]

"How to say?"

Captain: [Yuexia and I are approaching the three continents. We can already see some of the conditions on them. There is a tree on top...]

"A tree?" Heita hadn't reacted yet. A tree? What was that?

[A tree with roots covering three pieces of land, branches all pointing straight up, and smooth bark. ]

Heita's brain buzzed almost immediately, and all kinds of chaotic emotions surged into her heart, but she still had some composure, and asked with difficulty, "Are you talking about... Jianmu?!"

"A Jianmu tree grew in the redundant area?!?!!"

"You are kidding me!!!"

Yuexia: [Ms. Heita, it's true. I saw it, too. It's almost exactly the same as the one the captain planted in the folded space, but it's magnified countless times.]
