I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

Kiana was the first to come closer, wanting to reach out and touch it.

Stan immediately bared his teeth at her and let out a threatening "ha".

How dare a mere paramecium touch me, the great one?

Hey! This stinky cat has quite a temper!

Kiana cried out in dissatisfaction.

"It seems to only allow Miss Durandal to touch it."

Kanae Butterfly said with a smile.

"Lady Durandal, did you discover anything during your pursuit?"

Rita steered the conversation back on track at the right moment.

"The other party was very vigilant and left no clues."

Durandal shook her head, then held Stan in front of Gu Ye like a child showing off his new toy. "But I found it, Gu Ye. Look, it's very well-behaved."

Gu Ye glanced at the cat that had instantly become incredibly docile in front of him, then looked at the huge gaping hole in the distance, and calmly said, "The one who fired the shot just now was a World Serpent executive, codenamed 'Raven.' The weapon he used was the Third Divine Key, 'Seven Thunders of Purification.' Don't worry about him; that guy was a pitiful soul too."

"World Serpent?"

Rita's eyes lit up. "Mr. Gu Ye, you seem to know a lot about this organization? As far as we at Destiny know, it's an extremely mysterious and terrifying organization. I didn't expect you to..."

The task given by His Holiness the Bishop—the opportunity has arrived!

"There's nothing I don't know, it's just hearsay."

Qian-Xun ㈨⒍○┅⑵Lu⑵7○

Gu Ye interrupted her, clearly not wanting to discuss the topic further. "Just a mercenary who would take on any dirty or hard job to pay for his brother's medical treatment."

Gu Ye's few casual words revealed an astonishing amount of information.

Rita was shocked, but remained outwardly calm.

Raven... Seven Thunders of Purification... For my brother's medical treatment... These are all pieces of information that are completely absent from the Destiny database!

Just how many secrets does this man know?

Gu Ye didn't give Rita a chance to ask further questions. He looked around at everyone and announced the next plan.

"Alright, that concludes our London sightseeing. Our next mission is to enter the Sea of ​​Quanta and save a person."

"Whom to save?"

"Rita asked."

Gu Ye's gaze shifted to Bronya.

"Sylphle."

When Gu Ye uttered that name, Bronya, who had been expressionless the whole time, trembled violently. A violent turmoil surged within her grey eyes, which were as still as a lake.

Because she lacks emotional circuits, she cannot make expressions of crying or laughing, but her clenched fist and the way she tightly grips Raiden Mei's arm reveal her inner excitement.

"Bronya..."

Raiden Mei held Bronya's cold hand tenderly and whispered comfortingly, "That's great, really great. Don't worry, Gu Yejun is very reliable, he will definitely bring Seele back."

Bronya didn't speak, but nodded vigorously, and something seemed to be glistening in her eyes.

After calming Bronya down, Gu Ye's gaze fell on Rita again, this time with a sharp and direct look.

"Rita Losweiser".

He spoke slowly, "I don't know what conspiracy your bishop is plotting, and I don't care."

"I'll just say one thing: you can follow me, but don't cause me any trouble. Otherwise, I don't mind replacing your captain with an S-rank Valkyrie."

Although the words were calm, the underlying warning made the air seem to freeze.

Rita's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

She dropped her previous shrewd and capable demeanor, lowered her eyes, and revealed a tearful, extremely aggrieved expression, looking just like a wronged wife who had been unjustly accused.

“Lord Gu Ye… how can you say that? Rita was simply worried about Lady Durandal’s safety and wanted to fulfill her duty as adjutant. There really was nothing sinister behind it.”

Her voice carried a perfectly timed sob, which would evoke pity in anyone who heard it.

Gu Ye gave her a deep look, but said nothing more.

It's pointless to argue with an award-winning actress.

He turned around to face the crowd, the Thousand Realms One Vehicle pocket watch in his hand emitting a faint light.

"Stand firm, everyone."

"Next, I will open the path to the Sea of ​​Quanta."

Gu Ye flipped the Thousand Realms One Vehicle pocket watch between his fingers, and silver light flowed across the dial.

He didn't say much, but simply pressed down on the watch crown.

The space ahead seemed to have been torn open by an invisible hand, and a black hole, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, with its edges constantly twisting and rotating, appeared out of thin air, emanating a heart-palpitating suction force.

"Don't resist."

Gu Ye's voice rang out calmly.

Before the words were even finished, an irresistible force swept everyone into it.

The feeling of weightlessness lasted only a brief moment. When their feet touched solid ground again, the sight before them made everyone hold their breath.

The expected cold metal and complex wiring did not appear; instead, there was an unbelievably spacious train hall.

Beneath my feet lay a dark red carpet with intricate patterns, so soft I could almost sink into it. A dazzling crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a warm and bright light.

The walls are made of polished dark walnut wood, adorned with several landscape paintings that evoke a sense of tranquility. A faint aroma of wood and leather permeates the air.

"Wow--"

Kitagawa Kaimu was the first to let out a disjointed exclamation. Her big eyes, adorned with red contact lenses, widened as she curiously surveyed her surroundings. "What, what is this? A movie set? It's so luxurious! It's better than any studio I've ever rented!"

"Really? We're on a train?"

Kiana couldn't resist moving closer to a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, the vast and boundless Quantum Sea shimmered with light, its magnificent colors constantly shifting, captivating her gaze. "Amazing! Mei, Bronya, come and see!"

"Yes, I see it, Kiana."

Raiden Mei responded gently, her eyes also sparkling with astonishment. She took Bronya's hand, experiencing this unimaginable sight.

Even the usually composed Durandal showed a hint of surprise in her eyes at this moment.

She held Stan in her arms, and the cat seemed to sense the change in environment, perking up its ears and scanning the unfamiliar space warily.

"Hmph, all this fancy stuff."

W crossed his arms and leaned against the door, a hint of disdain flashing in his red pupils, but he couldn't help but curl up his lips. "The guys from the previous civilization really have some old-fashioned taste, but... it's not bad."

"What an amazing creation."

The Sword Saintess tilted her ear slightly, sensing the steady flow of air and the subtle sounds of mechanical operation. "The spatial structure inside is far larger and more complex than it appears from the outside."

"Indeed, this doesn't seem like a high-tech product at all; it's more like a mobile castle belonging to a classical nobleman."

Rin Tohsaka stood with her hands on her hips, scrutinizing every detail with a critical eye. As a magician, she could sense an extraordinary and stable power contained within.

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Gu Ye shrugged and casually explained, "Who knows? Maybe those guys from the previous civilization had nothing better to do than make a Divine Key look like this."

"Please take a short rest, everyone."

While everyone was still marveling, Rita Losweather had already naturally stepped into her maid role.

She gracefully lifted her skirt and, from somewhere, produced an exquisite tea tray and a complete set of bone china tea utensils, and began preparing black tea for everyone.

Her movements were skillful and graceful; every step was like an artistic performance.

Soon, a rich aroma of tea wafted through the air.

"Lord Gu Ye, your black tea, please add two sugar cubes, but no milk."

Rita respectfully handed the first cup of tea to Gu Ye.

"Lady Durandal, yours."

"Ms. W, this is for you."

"Miss Rin, your..."

She called out everyone's name accurately and served them hot tea one by one, even those she was meeting for the first time, such as Kanae Kocho and Kaimu Kitagawa, demonstrating her professionalism as the number one maid of destiny.

The aroma of hot tea calmed everyone down from their initial shock.

Everyone found a comfortable sofa to sit on, holding a warm teacup, and began to truly observe this incredible space.

Besides this lobby, there are corridors in the distance leading to the library, restaurant, and even individual guest rooms.

"This place has practically everything!"

Kiana took a sip of black tea and sighed contentedly, "I wonder if there's anything good to eat in the kitchen."

"Kiana, now is not the time to think about this."

Mei reminded her helplessly.

Just as the atmosphere gradually stabilized, Rita, who had maintained a perfect smile, put the tea tray aside, turned to face Gu Ye, bowed respectfully, and then asked in her gentle yet impeccable tone, "Lord Gu Ye, everything is ready, and we have successfully entered the Sea of ​​Quanta. So, do you know the exact coordinates of the world bubble where Miss Seele is located?"

Gu Ye's relaxed smile and his words, "Forget about it," made the air in the entire carriage freeze instantly.

Rita's hand holding the tea tray froze in mid-air, and her impeccable smile stiffened for a moment.

Durandal's usually straight brows furrowed slightly, and her gaze towards Gu Ye was filled with confusion.

Rin Tohsaka almost spat out the mouthful of black tea she had just taken a sip of. She coughed violently a few times, and her fair cheeks flushed red.

"what?"

W was the first to break the silence.

She blinked incredulously at first, then, as if she had heard the funniest joke of the century, she opened her mouth wide and burst into a clear and loud laugh.

"Hahahaha! Forgot? You actually said you forgot?!"

W laughed so hard she almost fell over, pointing at Gu Ye, tears welling up in her eyes. "Hey, what are you talking about! You dragged so many of us into this godforsaken place, and you don't even know where we're going? Are you kidding me? You're definitely kidding me!"

"You guy..."

Rin Tohsaka finally caught her breath. She slammed her teacup down on the table with a loud thud. She looked at Gu Ye with an expression of utter disbelief, her pretty face flushed with anger and embarrassment. "What are you thinking! The most important thing when searching for a specific target in the Sea of ​​Quanta is the coordinates, isn't it? Without coordinates, what's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack? No, it's a million times harder! You don't even have this basic common sense?!"

What an idiot! He always messes up at crucial moments. Why does this kind of trait exist in men?!

"This is really...unexpected."

Kanae Butterfly's gentle smile was tinged with helplessness. She gently put down her teacup, her purple eyes filled with confusion.

Rita took a deep breath, regaining her composure, but her voice still carried a hint of wavering that she herself didn't realize: "Lord Gu Ye, while the Thousand Realms Cyclic is powerful, its main function is to traverse between known world bubble coordinates, or to navigate on a macroscopic level within the Sea of ​​Quanta. To precisely locate a specific person within the endless world bubbles, it can only serve as an auxiliary detection tool, provided we have a general direction..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Without direction, they are like a group of blind people drifting in an endless ocean.

Despite W's mockery and Rin Tohsaka's questioning, Gu Ye didn't seem too embarrassed.

He scratched his cheek, still looking confident.

"Well, don't get so worked up."

He waved his hand dismissively, "When did I say there was no way?"

He turned his gaze to the silver-haired girl who had remained silent.

"Bronya."

Gu Ye said, "Although we don't have coordinates, we have something more reliable than coordinates. The bond between you and Seele is our only guiding light in the Sea of ​​Quanta. I believe that as long as you calm down, you will be able to sense which direction Seele is in."

All eyes instantly shifted from Gu Ye and focused on Bronya's petite figure.

Bronya, on whom high hopes were placed, remained silent. She simply put down her teacup and slowly closed her eyes.

Her expression remained calm, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath her eyelids.

The entire carriage fell silent, with only the faint rumble of the train running smoothly.
