Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

"Give in sick?" Marshal Hua looked Jing Yuan up and down, and glanced at the two Chi Mings, one big and one small, who were observing him with curiosity. He shook his head and decided to give Jing Yuan some face. "Forget it... Regarding the report you submitted, which is related to the forces under [Jin Mie Huo Zu] and even alludes to [Jin Mie Huo Zu] himself, the alliance has been arguing fiercely. Let me ask you what you think."

"Jing Yuan dares to say that the Marshal has already made a judgment." Jing Yuan looked at Hua without expressing any of his own opinions.

"Just say it when I tell you to." Hua was dissatisfied with Jingyuan's cunningness and pointed at him unhappily.

"Then I'll just say this." Jing Yuan kept his fists clasped and bowed, speaking slowly and calmly, "Revenge."

Two words, powerful and powerful.

These two words made Dan Heng look sideways, Bai Lu was surprised, Yukong pursed his lips in a complicated manner, and only Marshal Hua nodded slightly, seeming to agree very much.

"There are two reasons. First, our Xianzhou Alliance is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone. Jing Yuan does not want to keep this matter under wraps. In my opinion, the alliance must also express its position."

"Secondly, regarding the Luofu incident, Jing Yuan dare not say whether it was the personal act of the Great Lord of Extinction or the instigation of the Ancestor of Evil, but considering the combination, the Alliance cannot remain silent."

"I understand what you mean." Hua nodded slightly, "There will definitely be arguments in the subsequent meetings. When Xianzhou makes a decision, it will naturally be passed down."

"Yes." Jing Yuan responded.

"By the way..." Hua turned around and glanced at Dan Heng and Bai Lu, the two Chi Ming, "Don't treat our friends in the alliance unfairly."

"I also thank Chi Ming for his contribution to the Xianzhou Alliance, including what happened on Luofu this time." Hua nodded to Bai Lu and Dan Heng, turned and walked away.

The shadow suddenly disappeared in the general's mansion.

Jing Yuan finally exhaled deeply and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"General..." Yukong opened his mouth, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't suppress the complicated emotions in his heart, "Does fighting really have to happen?"

Jing Yuan turned his head and glanced at Yukong. He knew the story of Yukong, the helmsman whom he had promoted. However, he had no choice, and neither did the Xianzhou Alliance.

So, he could only nod.

"Get ready."

Preparation for war.

And be mentally prepared.

Chapter 134: Invitation to Join

The slight movement beside me gradually made my sleeping thoughts wake up.

Yuexia opened her eyes dazedly.

She was in the train compartment.

Her thoughts were a little hazy. It was an old problem. Every time she released her bloodthirsty impulse, her memory would become discontinuous.

The bloodthirsty impulse, or in other words, the complete liberation of the suppressed animal nature of the vampire.

She sat up slowly and lowered her head to pinch her thigh under the moonlight.

Sore and painful.

The girl, who could probably recall what had happened, blushed slightly. Although it was not the first time...but it could leave such adverse reactions on her physical fitness. She could imagine how ridiculous her and the captain's life must have been during this period.

"Awake?" A familiar voice sounded beside him.

Yuexia slowly turned her head and looked into the room. The captain, who looked a little listless and lazy, was sitting on a chair facing sideways to her, holding a book, and asked her questions without even raising his head.

"Yeah." Yuexia responded softly, but she stood up quietly, tiptoed, took quiet cat steps, and came behind the captain. She threw herself on the captain's back, then rested her chin on the captain's shoulder, rubbing the captain's cheek like a coquettish kitten.

"Be good~" The captain closed the book and placed it on his legs. He turned his head slightly and met the pair of wine-red eyes under the moon that were filled with some worry.

"Captain, are you okay..." Yuexia said worriedly, rubbing her chin against the captain's shoulder, and then she was stunned for a moment.

The captain also understood what Yuexia was worried about, and couldn't help laughing. He reached out and pinched the girl's nose, "I'm different now. I can handle any scratching, tickling, or blood sucking."

Yuexia had her nose pinched, and her face turned red after hearing what the captain said. She whined and acted like a spoiled child, and deliberately kept silent.

Vampires, that's what.

Why is it called Bloodlust? It means literally, vampires have to suck blood.

After all the trouble, she had satisfied her appetite and spiritual comfort, but the captain had to be idle for half a month or a month. During that time, Hyperion basically complained a lot, especially because he had to bite the bullet and face the long and ugly face of the stargazer all day long...

but!

Hehe, now it’s time for Miss Yuexia!

"Captain, which one do you like better, the moon or the stars?" Yuexia, whose nose was pinched, asked the fatal question in a muffled voice, and there seemed to be twinkling stars in her eyes.

"The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh." The captain let go of Yuexia's nose and pinched the flesh on Yuexia's cheek instead, completely ignoring her attack. "Go wash up and get dressed. You haven't been out for three days. You should go out for some fresh air, or else mushrooms will grow in your hair."

I didn't feel anything at first, but after the captain reminded me of this, Yuexia immediately realized that I hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

Yuexia quickly let go of the captain and went into the bathroom.

The captain picked up the book on his lap again and continued reading.

Amid the sound of dripping water, the sound of pages sliding could be heard again and again. The captain, who was immersed in knowledge, was hugged by a pair of warm arms that were still slightly damp. "Captain, what are you reading?"

"The Nature of Imaginary Energy." The captain turned his head to look at Yuexia, closed the book, and showed Yuexia the cover.

"Why are you suddenly looking at this?" Yuexia blinked.

"Because, I used to think that imaginary energies under different [destinies] should be able to convert to each other, but after the battle with Huanlong, I made a new discovery." The captain pinched the corners of his eyes and said in a faint tone, "No, Xing and I are the only ones who are special."

"Xing?" Yuexia put her hand on the captain's shoulder and kneaded it gently.

"She has a star core, and the [Star Core Hunter] is unwilling to reveal too much about her origins, but after all, she is special, so she can easily reconcile the two completely different destinies of [Destruction] and [Preservation], and can even switch and release them at will, just like me." The captain closed his eyes, enjoying the massage under the moonlight, "But Huanlong can't do it. After she got the [Abundant] body, she released the power of [Destruction] and even hurt her own body."

"I hope someone can answer my questions, but my predecessors couldn't do it." The captain gently threw the book in his hand onto the table and shook his head helplessly.

Yuexia didn't respond.

She is different from Stargazer and Tesla. She is not the type of researcher. Facing these things, she just feels dizzy.

"Since you are awake, we can gather everyone for a meeting." The captain smiled and stood up.

"Meeting?" Yuexia blinked.

"Yes, there are some things." The captain nodded, "This world is really not peaceful."

Although some things have not been told to the young people, Ji Zi, Lao Yang and the captain already knew about them in advance and have discussed them.

———Half an hour later———

As San Yue Qi and Xing Feng hurriedly rushed back to the train from Jinren Lane, all the people on the Starry Sky Train were gathered together.

"We are all traveling companions. Today's meeting is also to decide on the follow-up plan." Ji Zi put down the coffee cup and looked around at the people sitting at the round table. "First, Pinocchio."

"Pinoconi, the star of the event, sent a notice to the Starry Sky Train seventeen system hours ago, along with an additional invitation."

"I will first inform you of the contents of the notice."

"The date of the grand event has been postponed by two standard months. The [family] did not give a clear reason, but the reason behind this matter is probably not so good to see."

When Ji Zi finished speaking, the young people's faces showed surprise.

Dan Heng even spoke up, "What does Ji Zi mean?"

"This brings us to the original invitation to the Pinocchio event." Jizi said, flipping her wrist to take out a music box and placing it on the table. "This is the invitation to Pinocchio that we received at the beginning of the train."

"And this..." Jizi took out another exquisite and luxurious invitation letter that looked like a three-dimensional book and placed it on the table, "It is the invitation letter that the captain received from Mr. Sunday, the head of the Oak family of the [family], to the Music Concert."

"Is there any difference?" The Star Core Spirit blinked curiously, not understanding.

"The invitation we received at the beginning said, [Sincerely invite the 'family's guests' to come to Pinocchio, and join other guests in a grand banquet, to see the impossible things in dreams, to find the legacy of Pinocchio's father [the watchmaker], and then to answer: "Why does life sleep?"]"

Dan Heng frowned slightly.

There's something wrong with the tone of this invitation.

The captain glanced at the young men again, "And on Sunday, this is what the invitation letter from the head of the [family], whom I have never met, said."

"[I have heard of the name of the unknown guest, 'Captain', and the special power you hold in your hands. On behalf of the [family] Oak Family, I would like to extend a sincere invitation to all members of the Star Train, inviting all members of the Star Train to attend the grand event - the Musical Concert.]"

The captain couldn't help but curl his lips when he said this, "So, have you found the problem?"

"So, the leader of the [family], didn't you know that we had already received an invitation that Sunday?!" San Yueqi looked at the three adults sitting opposite him in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief.

"Yes." Old Yang pushed his glasses up and squinted his eyes. "Pinoconi has a 'grand event', and it seems that there is more than one organizer."

“And right now.”

"They are all inviting the Star Train to 'come'."

A music box and gorgeous invitations were placed on the table.

This matter...suddenly became weird.

In the letter, the two words "come" seemed to be distorted and changed.

became.

【Enter the game】

Chapter 135: Alliance Jade Omen

The music box and invitation were placed on the round table.

No one spoke for a moment on the entire train.

San Yueqi's brain crashed, or she gave up thinking. She usually didn't want to think about such complicated things. It could be said that she just followed the crowd, or that she had too many external brains that were too useful, so it was basically never her turn to use her brain.

Not to mention the three adults who have experienced many ups and downs, even among the young people, Dan Heng is knowledgeable and meticulous.

Although the Star Core Spirit seems to be a bit erratic on a daily basis, when she really uses her brain, she is not stupid, and she is even very smart.

Not to mention Yuexia, who, like March Seven, doesn't like to use her brain. Her external brain protects her too well, but after tens of thousands of years, her character and brain are first-class.

"So..." No one spoke, and San Yue Qi couldn't help but ask directly, "Should we go or not?"

going or not?

Yes, the question hits the point.

But, actually, there is no choice about this issue.

"I have to go." Ji Zi sighed softly, "Pinocone is inextricably linked to the Star Train and the [Nameless Guest]. Moreover, there is a secret message in the invitation letter of this music box."

"Secret code?" Dan Heng looked at the small music box.

"There is a well-hidden noise in the background music of this music box. It is a common method used by the [Unknown Guests] on the Starry Sky Train to ask for help. The frequency band of that noise is the engine frequency band of the train's jump." Ji Zi pinched the bridge of her nose. "Moreover, three [Unknown Guests] once got off at the Border Prison before it became [Pinocone]."

"Without the [family] invitation, our original route would have been to go to Pinocchio." Jizi sighed helplessly, "The invitation to the music box might have been sent by the former [nameless guest]."

"I also took the time to learn a little about this so-called 'Star of Gala' when I was at the Black Tower Space Station." The captain couldn't help but add a hint of sarcasm to his words. "It's an extremely luxurious 'dream' world. Well, you can even get a loan to dream."

Loan dream.

The members of the Genius Club are all well-known guests of honor in Pinocchio and the Family. When Heita first knew about the captain, he had a few words with the captain after he learned about Pinocchio.

Heita was once invited to enter Pinocchio, but he left after staying there for less than two hours. When he talked to the captain about that "land of dreams", his comments were basically all about "out of touch with reality", "spiritual luxury", and "existence itself has no meaning for the development of life".

Heita's original words were, "In a place where there is only luxury and pleasure, I feel my brain is becoming degraded."

"The world of beautiful dreams...huh?" Old Yang pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Some experiences in the past made Walter feel a little PTSD about the "world of beautiful dreams" that the captain mentioned meaningfully.

It would remind him of the man guarding the moon and his [Stigmata Project].

"Anyway, I called you all together to let you know in advance that our next trip may not be easy." Ji Zi put away the music box and pushed the gorgeous invitation to the middle of the round table. "And the matter of the music box invitation must be kept confidential."

Yes, keep it confidential.

After all, there is an obvious conflict between the two invitations. The Starry Sky Train is a world-famous order camp, and [Developer] Akivali is written as [Tianjun] in the classics of the Xianzhou people, which is enough to show the train's status in the world.

Don’t you see, behind the name [Destruction] Nanook, the words [Ancestor of Disaster] are clearly written.

[Tongxie] Xipei has a neither good nor bad reputation in the universe. Some people respect him, while others fear him. After all, it is not uncommon for travelers with other destinies to be inexplicably brought under the [Tongxie] destiny and join the [family] in the universe.

After all, there are people who can't avoid it.

But as a train, even without his immediate superior Akivalli, he should not and could not show obvious inclination towards the [Family]. Now that he has the invitation from the organizer, then for the sake of prudence, the invitation of unknown origin should be kept confidential.

After all, everyone present is not a fool.

Although the two invitations did not reveal much, the feeling that a storm was about to come was clearly conveyed.

"That's about it about Pinocchio." Jizi looked around at everyone and said in a gentle voice and with a soft smile, "You don't have to worry too much. After all, it's just a 'pioneering' journey."

“It doesn’t make it a more special trip.”
