I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　"Besides, the other world that Suzumo is involved in is also an unexplored world... Perhaps, the Star Train can find this world during the exploration process?"

　"As expected, Ms. Black Tower was more thoughtful."

　At this moment, Himeko slowly spoke up: "If that's the case, then whether it's out of duty to explore or to help Miss Suzuma, I agree to Miss Suzuma's application to join the train... Of course, as long as she herself is willing."

　"Then I'll call her over now."

　Black Tower stood up: "Please wait a moment, everyone."

　With that, Black Tower waved his wand lightly, and vanished instantly.

　"Hmm? Why didn't Lady Black Tower just have her doll deliver the message, instead of making the trip herself?"

　Himeko looked at Welt with some confusion.

　"Cough cough..."

　Walter slightly shifted his gaze: "Perhaps it's because...they're quite close?"

　Meanwhile, on the other side, the Great Black Tower, which used magic to travel, quickly arrived at Suzuma's room.

　After checking that no one was around, Black Tower swept his hand lightly, and the room door opened automatically, revealing a romantic atmosphere with hints of pink inside.

　The large bed, which had been perfectly tidy when Black Tower left, was now a complete mess. Lingmo, her face flushed, lay limply on the bed, her clothes disheveled, almost too exhausted to continue laughing, as Black Tower freely moved his fingers over her sensitive spots.

　"Sigh, he's bad at games but loves to play."

　Black Tower shook his head helplessly, casually controlled the little black tower to leave the room, closed the door tightly, and then sat down next to Lingmo, poking the girl's chest.

　"You idiot, how come you can't even beat the little black tower?"

　"Damn it... You know perfectly well that I'm not physically strong. That little black tower is ridiculously strong. How could I possibly fight back!"

　Lingmo wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from laughing, looking aggrieved: "Besides, I already have the power of corruption, so of course I had to try out such a tempting option as developer mode. Who would have thought that the firewall would be breached so easily..."

　"And then you just started hugging and cuddling my doll, right?"

　The mere mention of this made Black Tower feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

　"I simply couldn't resist Lord Black Tower's beauty!"

　Lingmo was perfectly justified in this.

　"Tsk, you guy..."

　Black Tower gave a soft snort and turned her head slightly. Although she had reinforced the firewalls of the little black towers to some extent, she had indeed underestimated Ling Mo's speed in mastering the power of corruption. As a result, she was caught off guard and suddenly had the little black towers' empathy activated by Ling Mo...

　"Fine, this won't happen again. If you want a hug next time... you can just come to me."

　"Eh?"

　Lingmo's eyes lit up: "Can I use the Black Tower as a body pillow?"

　"What are you thinking! I meant I'd make you a doll, so you can carry it yourself."

　Hei Ta supported Suzuma, who was trying to "attack" him, with one hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Himeko and Welt are still waiting for you in the conference room."

　"I've said what I needed to say. As for whether or not you join the Star Train... that's up to you."

　……

　Now that the Black Tower had paved the way for Suzuma, the rest of the process went very smoothly. After confirming that Suzuma had indeed chosen to join the Starry Sky Train on her own initiative, Himeko readily agreed to Suzuma's application and then left the time to Welt, who was already eager to try.

　After Walter spoke with Suzumo for a while...

　"What do you mean there's a blond man named Otto in your world, and he's even the Archbishop of Schicksal?"

　Walter: OO.

　“Ahem, Suzumo, although there are many similar yet different beings in the universe, I have met two people who are similar to this Otto you mentioned, and they are both... definitely not good people.”

　Walter said earnestly, "Of course, I don't deny that there might be some 'kind' Ottos. So, could you tell me about what Otto in your world did and said?"

　"I've fought Otto for quite a while now, so I can help you figure out which type of Otto he is..."

　"Hmm... maybe..."

　Lingmo tilted her head and thought for a while, then made a very lifelike sound: "How can I put this? You may not have Lingmo, but you still have me. I can totally be your guide in life, can't I?"

　"..."

　Walter suddenly felt that the Star of Eden in his hand was getting restless.

　……

　It can only be said that although Welt may have been somewhat unreliable during the Second Honkai Impact 2, he was completely trustworthy during the Star Train era, having experienced many trials and tribulations.

　Upon learning that the other world Suzumo lived in was "highly similar" to his home world, Walter became incredibly excited, as if he had been injected with adrenaline, and gave Suzumo a series of seemingly very effective suggestions.

　For example... how to quickly eliminate internal problems related to entropy in the early stages.

　"Although your world and my homeland took different development paths after the Second Honkai Impact, according to you, the changes inside Anti-Entropy... should not be significant."

　"Therefore, if you can eliminate some early-stage hidden dangers, try to resolve them in advance, for example, Cocolia."

　"Before she makes a big mistake, let's find a way to control her."

　"I have no objection to taking action against Cocolia."

　Lingmo nodded: "When I went back last time, I learned through Anti-Entropy's internal network that she used special methods to trigger the Third Honkai, right?"

　"However, this was only her first major move. In her two subsequent actions, one resulted in the tragic death of Wendy, the Fourth Herrscher whom we could have won over, and the other caused us to suffer a great loss in Abyss City."

　Walter sighed: "But when facing the Honkai, her record isn't so 'impressive'."

　"The god of civil war, huh..."

　Lingmo complained, "Then what do I need to do? Just behead him? If I use some strong character cards, combined with the power of corruption, it's not impossible."

　"No."

　To Lingmo's surprise, Walter shook his head instead: "During this period, Cocolia has become the de facto leader of the Anti-Entropy radicals and has taken control of a large part of the Anti-Entropy Titan Legion. If you kill her directly, the most direct consequence will be a mutiny in the army and internal strife among the radicals, allowing Otto to reap the benefits."

　"So, if you want to take action against her, you need to have a reason, and then make her relinquish power herself... If the course of history in our world and your world is not too different during this period, this window of opportunity will probably come very soon."

　"Then you can take action against her with a legitimate reason... As for the charges, attacking allies, illegally deploying Titan troops, meeting privately with the Bishop of Destiny, colluding with hostile forces, and conducting illegal cloning experiments on the Alliance Leader. There are as many reasons as you can."

　"After Cocolia is captured, if she cooperates, you can naturally take over her army smoothly. If she doesn't cooperate... your Corruption power will come in handy. Regardless of whether Cocolia cooperates or not, at least 'Cocolia' will cooperate with Anti-Entropy to peacefully transfer power. Understand?"

　"clear."

　Lingmo gave a thumbs up: "I didn't expect that Uncle Yang, who looks so honest and simple, actually knows a lot about these things."

　Walter's gaze suddenly turned weary. He sighed and said slowly, "After being scammed so many times, you naturally learn... These are all the pitfalls I fell into back then."

　……

　After chatting with Welt for several hours, Suzuma, who was already feeling a bit sleepy, finally said goodbye to the reluctant Welt. It seemed that this warrior, who had been constantly sacrificing his life to fight against the Honkai, was extremely excited about being able to play the game twice in his lifetime, to the point that he answered almost every question Suzuma asked—which surprised Himeko.

　Back on her warm bed, Lingmo expertly pulled the black tower doll close to her and quickly drifted off to sleep.

　Then, as expected, she was transported to the world of Honkai Impact 3rd once again.

　"Unfamiliar ceiling..."

　"If you'd like, we can also customize a ceiling that isn't so unfamiliar to you."

　A familiar voice rang out from beside Lingmo's bed: "Long time no see, Miss Lingmo."

　"Aiyin?"

　"I never imagined that after fourteen years, you would still remember my voice..."

　Ai Yin was somewhat surprised: "Never mind, that's not the point. Are you feeling unwell right now?"

　"Don't worry, everything is normal, as long as you don't handle me roughly when you transport me away."

　Lingmo sat up abruptly and stretched her arms: "So, where am I?"

　"North America, Anti-Entropy Headquarters"

　Ai Yin revealed something that surprised Ling Mo.

　"so far?"

　"Yes, this is also for safety reasons. After the second Honkai, your information and priority were raised to the highest level of Anti-Entropy by the Alliance Leader. This time, after receiving your message, Joachim did not hesitate to use his precious annual leave to personally go to Siberia and bring you back."

　"?"

　A question mark slowly appeared above Lingmo's head: "Annual leave? You guys... are you really this ruthless when it comes to squeezing the Alliance Leader out of him?"

　"Uh……"

　Ai Yin silently looked away, her voice becoming somewhat hesitant: "It's a long story. During the time you were gone, a lot happened in the world. The annual leave I mentioned earlier wasn't actually the annual leave from Anti-Entropy, but... the annual leave from St. Freya Academy."

　"For some reason, Joachim recently... became a history teacher at a girls' school founded by God."

　"Pfft-cough-cough-cough..."

　Although she had long known that this was probably the inevitable trajectory of Welt's life, Suzuma still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy seeing Ein reveal Welt's whereabouts with that expression.

　"That's why I said a lot happened during that time..."

　Ai Yin sighed, "Alright, let's go. I'll take you to see someone first. It just so happens that Joachim is there too. That's the main reason I called you here. Without that person, it would be difficult for us to explain everything that happened during this time."

　"So, that person is..."

　Lingmo already had a guess in her mind.

　"It was Siegfried Kaslana. He left Schicksal a few years after the Second Honkai Impact."

　"!"

　As Lingmo expected, Cecilia in the system's home immediately became restless.

　"Okay, I'll set off after I've adjusted myself a bit."

　After saying that, Suzumo closed her eyes and began to communicate with Cecilia in the system.

　“Senior Cecilia…”

　"Don't worry, I won't interfere with your actions, nor will I insist that you make me meet with Siegfried."

　To Lingmo's surprise, Cecilia was the first to see through Lingmo's thoughts and decisively shook her head.

　"I survived because of your efforts. If I were to trouble you again or disrupt your plans because of this, it would be very unbecoming of an adult."

　"Uh……"

　Suzuma scratched her head: "Although I'm very grateful to Cecilia-senpai for thinking of me like this, actually... you seem to have misunderstood."

　“I originally wanted to use your strength, after all… Siegfried may be psychologically traumatized right now. With your help, I can hear some truth from him instead of some boastful words.”

　"so……"

　Lingmo looked at Xiaoqi beside her.

　"Give me another set of that fake Stigmata ability from last time~"

　Chapter 64 Walter: Even Cecilia is this terrifying when she gets angry, then Tesla...

　[Adding another stigma wouldn't be technically difficult... but Suzuma, you already have an Alicia disguise stigma, is it alright to add another one?]

　"No problem. As everyone knows, Valkyries can get three stigmata tattooed: top, middle, and bottom."

　Lingmo said nonchalantly, "If we go by the game's algorithm, I still have an empty slot."

　【All right……】

　For some reason, Lingmo felt that there was a hint of jealousy in the tone of a certain system spirit, which made Lingmo seriously consider whether she should add another End Saint Mark to herself to appease the fish cat.

　In short, after resolving the issues with the system space, Lingmo opened her eyes and looked at Aiyin, saying, "I'm all better now, shall we go?"

　"Ah."

　Ai Yin nodded and then led the way.

　From a physical perspective, the anti-entropy base where Ai Yin was located seemed to be no smaller than the space station. It took them almost ten minutes to walk to the designated location.

　Furthermore, through the half-open door, one could hear Siegfried and Walter talking.

　"Hey Walter, who exactly do you want me to see by calling me here this time?"

　Siegfried took a big gulp of his drink, looked around, and said in a puzzled voice, "You couldn't have brought Kiana to me, could you? Otherwise, I'd have no choice but to turn around and leave..."

　"Heh, don't worry, it's not Kiana. But to be honest, when I saw Kiana's combined score of less than 60 in six subjects, I really wanted to call you over for a good chat... Were your grades like this when you were a kid?"
