Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

Giovanni subconsciously took another step back, "It doesn't mean anything."

Hanabi's beautiful rose-red eyes stared at Giovanni for a moment, then she snorted softly, "Forget it, a dead otaku like you who only knows how to play games definitely doesn't understand Miss Hanabi's girlish heart."

I really don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand.

Giovanni raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "I have some things to do. I have already made an appointment with the stationmaster of the space station. I have to prepare for the speech in advance."

"Go ahead." The girl named Hanabi walked to the side of the pier with her hands behind her back, overlooking the empty zero-gravity area below the main control cabin. "I need to think about whether I should quickly find a spaceship to escape, or try to find someone while we are in urgent need."

"Aren't you looking forward to what's going to happen next?" Giovanni paused.

"It's all fake, a fake life, a fake mission, a fake meaning. Miss Hanabi hates these fake things the most." Hanabi leaned most of her body against the glass guardrail of the pier as if she was exhausted. "I just want to see the captain now. If I can't see that captain, Miss Hanabi will die~ la la la~~"

"It's no use trying to act cute with me." Giovanni retreated quietly. "If you are willing to trust me, go to the Aether Front event later and take a look. Maybe you will meet him."

"Really." Hanabi turned her head sharply and looked at Giovanni.

"It's not guaranteed." Giovanni turned and left, "But I hope that if you want to go in, you can act like a good Player."

"Tsk~~" Hanabi kicked her legs with her belly resting on the guardrail.

"Don't you still hope that I will like your game?" Hanabi stared at Giovanni's back.

"Can't you just invite me nicely?"

but......

Activities on the Ether Front?

That little webmaster, who is like an ant on a hot pan, must have encountered some trouble.

The event site, go and have a look.

Hanabi raised the Ether Spirit Coin in her right hand.

"Lieutenant Silvermane?"

"Which force did the coin of that beautiful purple-haired big sister come from?"

"A new version?"

Chapter 186 Simulated Universe · Final Test · Aha and 'Aha'

"Screws, is that okay?"

"In good condition, the cognitive filter has been established, and the astral differential machine has locked onto the identification code provided by Ms. Ruan Mei. I am ready to start at any time."

In the office of the Black Tower, the emperor of Screw Star, the intelligent aristocrat ScrewGum, was sitting on a big chair. His arms had been removed and replaced with two thick cables. One cable was directly connected to ScrewGum from the interface of the simulated universe, while the other side of the body extended out and was directly connected to the floor of the Black Tower office.

The activity venue of [Ether Front] is a nested virtual space based on the space station [Black Tower] itself. Theoretically, the cable can work even if it is directly exposed to the air. However, out of the rigor of the intelligent machine, Screw Gum still asked Black Tower to connect the cable to the floor.

[If something goes wrong, at least there is an emergency means of disconnecting the link and shortening the data port. ]

"Screw, you still have one last self-check." The puppet in the black tower turned around and looked at the robot that seemed to be 'broken' and was being repaired, "Protect yourself mentally."

"of course."

———At this moment, the system time is 8:53———

[Simulated Universe, Universal Locust Plague, Project Number 000]

[I really don't like to swear.] In the outer space, the captain squinted his eyes, feeling that some [existence] in the deep space was approaching, [So, have you guys dealt with the Black Tower?]

【Last seven minutes! 】

[In seven more minutes, the Starry Sky Train will collapse! ]

A golden light suddenly illuminated the captain's profile.

He suddenly raised his right hand, and a door with zero thickness that should not exist in the world opened on his right hand side, and a thick breath of imaginary energy suddenly sank into the door.

The captain's left hand dropped, and a space door without any concept of thickness opened instantly. The golden breath of imaginary energy suddenly swept across a sea of insects, instantly evaporating a large number of real stinging insects in the silent universe.

A door without thickness represents a stable hole opened in the concept of space.

Although the captain wanted to open an unstable "hole" and create a black hole to kill the insect sea nebula, but...

The captain looked at the Starry Sky Train with only one carriage left, which was dragging a comet tail in the vast "Insect Sea Nebula" and was wrapped in the miracle of [Abundance]. He exhaled deeply and his eyes fixed.

The next second, he suddenly disappeared in the encirclement of the three-headed commander-level king insects and appeared inside the only remaining train car.

The captain looked towards the rear of the train, at the torn gap in the carriage. Yuexia was holding a chainsaw sword and swinging the weapon wildly, cutting the swarms of stinging insects that pounced on the gap in the train into pieces.

"How is it? Can you still hold on?"

Tesla held up the Bloody Saint that the captain had provided him, and kept pulling the trigger, shouting angrily, "What do you think?"

"star?"

With a rock gun in one hand and a baseball bat in the other, he stood in the last remaining carriage of the [Star Train] with his eyes closed. "It's OK. The train is separating one by one, but the protection of [Exploration] is becoming more and more concentrated in this carriage."

"Otherwise we would have 'died' because of the vacuum environment." The Star Core Spirit closed her eyes, not daring to open them. She was now the [brain] and [shield generator] of the only remaining train car. Once her consciousness was too focused on her body, the train would lose power and flexibility, and the [storage] protection given by the Virtual Amber King would also be interrupted.

If the train stops moving at high speed in the Insect Sea Nebula, even with the protection of the [Abundance] miracle planted by the captain, the last remaining carriage will soon be torn into pieces by countless Lord Insects of the Order class.

"The Black Tower wants us to hold on for another seven minutes." The captain had to tell the three girls this desperate news.

"Seven minutes?!" Tesla was furious. "Let her come in by herself and try! We are surrounded by thousands of emissaries and hundreds of thousands of fate walkers. If it weren't for the help of [Stone Lump], we would have died here long ago!"

[Captain! [Star God] reaction detected around you! ]

【This symbol code is.......】

"Tongxie Shipe." The captain stared at the woman in front of him with some vigilance. The woman had a gentle smile on her face, her eyes closed, and her body was reflected like the vast sea of stars.

【What is she doing here? 】

"What are you doing here?" The captain stepped forward and stood between Shipe and the three girls, asking the same question as Heita.

However, Simulation Shipe simply smiled gently and stopped in the train that was rushing left and right in the sea of insects. As the colorful halo behind Shipe's head gradually spread out a soft and dazzling light, everyone on the Starry Sky Train discovered that the insects gradually stopped attacking the train.

[She is here to help [open up] and intervene in the battlefield! ]

"That's right, Xiao Pei is such a philanthropic girl, hahaha." A man dressed in black like a silhouette, surrounded by countless handballs, playing cards, and masks with countless expressions, appeared at the rear end of the carriage where a big hole was opened.

[It's Aha! ]

"Yes, it's me, it's me, Aha is here~" The silhouetted man stood upright, and among the masks surrounding him, an exaggerated smile flew onto Aha's face, becoming his expression, "No, I should say! I should have come a long time ago!"

[Is he talking to me?]

"That's right, Miss Creator, or Auntie, yes, I should call you Auntie, I can hear your voice, it shakes the universe!" Virtual Ahab laughed, and although his silhouette-like shape made it impossible to see his facial features, everyone had the feeling that Ahab's gaze was sweeping over them.

【….】

"The Machine Head has already told us what he wants to do. We need to help him play his respective roles in this so-called historical restoration play. For example, for the Machine Head's play, I must send [Akivelli] to Pegana and then let [Akivelli] drive the train to this battlefield."

"For example, 'I' brought Sister Pei to the train to provide some help to Akivalli."

Aha pronounced every "I" very heavily, and the four people in the project were still a little confused, but in the real world, Heita was completely stunned.

I?

who am I?

[Have you ever come into contact with the real Aha?] Heita's voice was even trembling.

"As expected of the club's little genius!"

"Bingo~"

Virtual Aha snapped his fingers and then burst into laughter.

"You want the true history, so 'I' commissioned me to show you the true history!"

Ah Ha, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly stopped laughing in the silence.

"Listen."

His tone at this moment changed to that of a serious opera singer.

"A god is going to fall temporarily."

"And more!"

"There will be a new! birth!!"

Chapter 187 Simulated Universe·Final Test·Data Dumping

“More new ones are coming?”

The captain's gaze shifted from Aha to outside the train.

Xing opened her eyes and raised her gaze. At this moment, she no longer needed to control the train. The girl's gaze passed over the captain and looked at the digital life forms standing in front of the captain.

Virtual Harmony Shippe.

Virtual joy. Aha.

Outside the train there is also a towering virtual guardian, Clipper.

"New students? Who will be new students?" The captain narrowed his eyes and looked at Aha, whose smiling face covered the silhouette of his body.

"A lot... a lot! Such as abundance, such as memory! And when there is abundance in this world! Hunting will follow closely! One insect dies! All things come into being!" Ah Ha swung his silhouette-like body exaggeratedly, and along with his increasingly passionate words, all the symbols surrounding him, such as the ball, playing cards, and even the mask, all became restless.

"Oh, right, come to think of it, I forgot." Aha raised his right hand, and his index finger slid from his cheek to his chin, gently tapping the lip of the mask, "There is another person who will die here."

[Order, Taiyi? 】

"Bingo!" Ah Ha snapped his fingers. "Do you feel it?"

what?

"The sea of insects has stopped."

Tesla was in the carriage with only two-thirds of the train left, looking outside.

Unlike when Hippie arrived, when the bugs seemed to treat the train as their companion, at this moment, order appeared in the restless and disordered sea of insects. The bugs began to line up, form teams, and change the structure of the entire sea of insects according to their body size.

At the moment when Aha occupied everyone's attention, a huge existence descended silently into the deep space of the universe.

Virtual Order·Taiyi.

——Virtual Space·Ether Front——

"Welcome, welcome all players!" A virtual projection of Giovanni, with a pale smile covering his face and wearing a well-fitting silver-gray suit, appeared in the data space created based on the space station [Black Tower].

Nearly a thousand Ether Front players who came to participate in the event all stopped and looked at the organizer of the event.

Giovanni the Masked Fool.

Father of the Ether Front.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone at the event. You have traveled all the way from Yalilo VI to the Immortal Ship Alliance [Luofu] ship and arrived at the space station [Black Tower]. You are truly Ether Spirit Masters!"

"But, I wonder if you all feel that the popular battle game Aether Front is a bit boring? Boring?" Giovanni bowed quietly, "At least, I think that Aether Spirit's daily innovation, the constantly changing rhythm charts, the continuous production of new forces and new coins, can never escape the fate of being compared in strength and replaced by the best."

"So, after discussing with everyone in the space station, Genius Club #83 seat, Ms. Black Tower, this event!"

"No need to fight against others!" Giovanni laughed in a low voice, deliberately teasing the players' appetite. "I remind you that there is no need to fight against others. At least it is not profitable. Of course, the event does not object to this."

“This time, the Ether Front event and the Space Station [Black Tower] offline event will adopt a brand new gameplay!”

"I wonder how many people remember the plague of stinging insects that once swept across the world!"

"Have you ever seen a real stinging insect?"

"Have you ever seen a sea of insects that covers the sky and the sun?"

"Have you ever heard of the name 'Sand King'?"

"Everyone present! You are all top players! There is no need to introduce the gameplay of this activity in detail! In one sentence, three words! Kill insects! For the entire activity, we only need a scoreboard! And the person at the top of the list will receive..."

"Since the launch of the Ether Front game! So far! There is only one... the only Ether Spirit Coin!"

"Yes, there is only one! And I'm afraid there won't be another coin like this in the next few hundred years!"

"You want to ask why?"

Giovanni's virtual projection shows the Ether Coin in his hand to all players.

"Its data comes from the [breeding] Fate's Commander-level Coleoptera stinging insect! [Star Crusher King Insect] Skara Kabaz, and such data is absolutely difficult to collect and reproduce a second time!"

"You may wonder where the data comes from. Then, please allow me to introduce the maker of this coin!"
