People playing with figurines on Star Railway

"Ok?"

"Liu Yu is missing too!"

Xing pointed to the spot where Liu Yu had just been standing.

It was empty again... no, or rather, there was an extra note.

On March 7th, he picked it up and looked at it, then looked at Xing and Danheng.

"Is he crazy?!"

On March 7th, he let out the angrier roar of his life.

[To March 7th, Xingji and Danheng]

[Just now I sensed that Sambo was about to run away, so I quietly followed him. See you later...]

"???"

Xing looked at the contents of the note and was also a little confused.

No, man!

We only encountered these guys chasing Sambo for a few seconds!

How did you manage to write such a logically clear sentence in just a few seconds?

"Honestly, as a companion, couldn't you at least say hello? That's too formal!"

Although that's what they said, what angered March 7 even more was that Liu Yu didn't call them when he ran away, but instead slipped away with Sang Bo.

These two definitely have some serious illness!

"Gentlemen, surrender!"

Several soldiers, along with silver-maned archers carrying muskets and halberds, and guards, stepped forward, assuming a fighting stance.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding! We don't know that Sambo at all, we just met him here by chance and he said he could take us out of the valley."

On March 7th, he put away his bow and arrows and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"That's it!"

Xing chimed in from the side.

"..." Dan Heng remained silent for a while.

Listening to the explanations from the people in front of them, and seeing that they didn't seem to want to fight, the Silvermane Iron Guards relaxed.

"What happened? Did you catch Sambo?"

At that moment, a young man's voice came from behind these guards.

"Commander Jepard!" one of the silver-maned guards turned and saluted.

Who are they?

A man with blond hair, carrying a violin case, walked out from behind and looked at March 7 and the others, asking them a question.

"We suspect they are Sambo's accomplices!"

"certainly not!"

On the seventh day of the third month, he stomped his feet in anger.

"We are nameless passengers from the Star Train, which came to this planet to seal the star's core!"

Listening to March 7's explanation, Jepard frowned and looked at the people in front of him.

Upon discovering that these people's clothing was indeed different from Belloberg's style, and after listening to their story, it became clear that they were indeed innocent people who had been tricked into stopping them.

“Although your identities are still questionable, I’m willing to believe you.” Jepard nodded, then looked at the Iron Guard officer beside him. “Take some men and continue searching the area. As for them…”

"Come with me back to see the Great Guardian!"

"The Great Guardian?"

"Ok!"

Jepard nodded, then, remembering that the other party claimed to be an extraterrestrial, explained, "The Great Guardian is the ruler of our Beloberg. Although I don't know what you mean by Star Core, the Great Guardian should know."

"That's great!"

March 7th and Xing exchanged a glance and smiled happily.

Things went so smoothly, even though I was tricked by a certain Sambo, it was all for the best.

Meanwhile, Liu Yu, watching this scene from directly above the valley, was also somewhat surprised.

The battle that should have happened in the game didn't occur; instead, a friendly relationship was established through conversation, thus avoiding a fight.

After thinking about it for a moment, he felt relieved.

This is probably the normal situation that would occur if the game were to become a reality.

Who engages in battle before the nature of the conflict is determined?

"Hey Sambo, you bastard, you've screwed over my friends!"

"Oh, my friend, you're mistaken!"

Sambo watched everything unfolding below with a smile, squatting down in a pouch.

So you really are the Iron Man version of Patch, huh!

“I, Sambo, said I would lead you out of the valley, and here we are, aren’t we?”

Sambo pointed to the March 7th group who had followed Jepard away.

"Did you bring that? You tricked me!"

"Friend, just tell me whether you've left the valley or not!"

"..."

No, that's definitely true, we've really made it out of the valley.

But something just feels wrong, okay? And it's really annoying.

"On another note, friend, why are you with me? Shouldn't you be with your companions?"

Sangbo's eyes darted around, and he tried to shake off Liu Yu.

Liu Yu smiled and took out a mask from his figurine storage space.

The mask is entirely orange-red, with an expression that is both crying and laughing, resembling that of a clown.

"you……"

Sambo's eyes widened instantly.

At that moment, he seemed to sense something familiar on the mask.

The Fool's Mask

[Equipment Type]

【Durability - Infinite】

[Effect: When worn, it reduces the presence of one's own identity while strengthening the presence of certain identities. It also allows the mask to appear or disappear according to one's will, and the wearer can selectively increase or decrease its presence based on their own thoughts.]

[Introduction: The Fool's Mask, if you think it's a collectible toy, then it is! If you think it's a fool's mask, then it is... hehehe~]

This was the first treasure chest Liu Yu opened after arriving at the Great Snowball, which he opened casually not long ago when he met Sambo.

But even he himself didn't expect that opening this treasure chest would result in obtaining the best figurine from all the treasure chests he had opened...

However, after seeing clearly the extraordinary effect of the product and hearing the explanation from the description, he began to wonder if it was the work of some anonymous Pleasure Star God...

"Wow, that's really rare!"

Sambo looked at the mask, his smile widening.

"Oh? What's so rare?"

"I never expected to see such joyful travelers on this barren planet..."

"Aren't you?"

Liu Yu looked at Sang Bo with a smile and said...

"My friend, you're going to be disappointed. I, Sambo, am just an ordinary person with no destiny powers; I simply have a little more information and resources than the average person."

"Then...did I say I was destined for pleasure?"

Liu Yu looked at Sang Bo and burst out laughing.

"You say you're an ordinary person... but this planet reveres the [Protector] Star God Kripper, and as for other travelers... they're practically unknown. How did you find out you're an ordinary person?"

Sambo's expression froze. He was doomed.

Seeing something similar made me lose my logic and I slipped up!

But the next moment, Sangbo stood up and chuckled like a fly rubbing its hands together, "Doesn't this make me look like I have strong intelligence capabilities?"

"Oh, I guess I'll take your word for it!"

Liu Yu shrugged and looked at Sang Bo.

"Let's go!"

"Hey, friend. Where are you going?"

"I don't know, you just lead the way."

Chapter 17 Infiltrating Cripperburg

After March 7th and his companions arrived in Beloborg and met with the High Guardian Cocolia, they were taken to the Goethe Hotel to await the High Guardian's audience the following day.

However, they didn't know that the next day they would be wanted by the police.

Liu Yu sat on a bench in the square, holding a daily newspaper and watching all of this unfold.

Because of the Fool's Mask, his own presence was reduced to the point that even if Deng Ran caught a glimpse of him on March 7th, he wouldn't be recognized instantly.

From the moment he arrived in Belloborg and put on his mask, even Sambo, the masked fool, could not find him quickly after Liu Yu blended into the crowd.

However, for Sambo, this was just a trivial matter.

For the Masked Fools, Liu Yu's ability is the perfect tool for causing trouble.

Then another minute passed.

Sambo scratched his head. "Someone just asked me to lead the way."

Meanwhile, Liu Yu, the instigator, stood silently not far behind Sang Bo, listening to Sang Bo's somewhat puzzled voice.

"The effect is really strong," Liu Yu murmured, shaking his head slightly.

A moment later, a small squad of Silvermane Iron Guards was seen preparing to enter in front of Cripper Fortress.

Liu Yu's eyes darted around, and he followed behind these people.

Under the terrifying effect of the mask, the presence of Liu Yu's identity plummeted. Even if the Silver Mane Iron Guards stationed there saw Liu Yu, they would subconsciously think that this guy was a Silver Mane Iron Guard.

In this way, Liu Yu easily infiltrated Kripper Fortress.

Upon arriving at Liuyu within Crepper Castle, after looking left and right, one can find the location of the Great Guardian's office.

For a moment, Liu Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

You know, back when we played the game, it was just a matter of tapping the screen to get to the Grand Guardian's office, but now that I'm actually there in person, it's a completely different experience.

Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh, "This is what a complete world is like."

Just then, footsteps came from the corridor not far away.

Liu Yu looked over and saw a grown-up version of Duck with a silver three-turbine hairstyle and a face that looked seven or eight parts similar to Silver Wolf walking over from there.

Oh ho, Rand duck!

Well, although the other party is also Bronya, she actually has no connection with Sulley.

They actually said that when the voice actor for Sulley was being dubbed, his voice had too much of a babyish quality, so they had to find someone else to do it.

It can only be described as another duck that looks like a duck but is not of the same bloodline.

Touching his chin, Liu Yu stood at the corner of the corridor, silently commenting.
