Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 474 Mother?

As it turns out, although the progress bars of the two sides were different, they were still able to reach an agreement in the end.

The other two unfortunate kids finally completed their feat of crossing mountains and valleys and arrived at this room.

"Of!"

Sweating profusely, Xing saw Yunzhi standing on the platform in the distance. There were two March 7ths—double happiness? So she waved and rushed towards the group.

The next second, the ground beneath my feet gave way—

And so, amidst Xia Die's "Be careful, Your Excellency," Dan Heng's hesitant words, and Wan Di's helpless facepalm, the gray-haired raccoon tumbled down the stairs.

It lay perfectly still in front of Yun Zhi.

Yunzhi: "………………"

"Although there was a grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows in ancient times, it is unnecessary now, child."

Xing: ...How embarrassing!

She lay there flat, not wanting to get up.

Dan Heng was speechless. He went over and helped her stand up.

Xing scratched her hair, and though she should have blushed, she suddenly felt there was no need to.

*Shouldn't you be ashamed of making such a huge blunder?*

Of course not!

Xing looked at the two pink-haired girls on the other side.

Danheng then introduced Yunzhi to two friends who had come with him.

The butterfly bowed gently, but remained quite far from the clouds.

Wan Di gave a cool "hmm".

Yunzhi does remember that the setting of Wan Di—or the setting of [Conflict]—is... a simulation of the fate of [Hunter].

Ah, no wonder it feels so familiar.

"I hope my arrows have been of help to you."

Yunzhi mentioned the small bit of help she had just received.

Xing immediately perked up:

"That was a huge help! He's so cool!"

That arrow wiped out all their enemies!

Although it seems like Suspended Peak City is almost gone... but that doesn't matter, it's already in such a dilapidated state anyway.

Wan Di is the Crown Prince of Xuanfeng, and if he doesn't care, then no one else needs to care either.

Xing's excited expression was extremely infectious.

Yun Zhi smiled and said, "It's good that you were able to help... Weren't you with Bai E?"

"Bai E has gone to undergo the Fire Seed Trial."

Danheng answered.

Bai'er is the perfect Goldenborn, and Aglaia says he can bear all the fires.

Although Uncle Yang, who is still on the Starry Sky Train, is still a little irritated by Bai E's face, Dan Heng admires Bai E, not to mention Xing, who is very outgoing.

Unfortunately... Yun Zhi couldn't make out their appearance at all.

Even now, all Yun Zhi can see in his eyes is a bunch of data talking.

...It's so depressing.

It's clear that these two children have gotten along very well with the people here.

Yunzhi didn't stop him.

Although our connection in this world is destined to be painful in the future, that's a matter for the future.

Separation is inevitable, but whether we can get to know them again depends on what they are capable of.

You need some ability and strength; the rest is up to luck.

Yun Zhi turned around and looked at the bottomless abyss of mist.

Xing held onto March 7's other hand, hopping and chattering away, her words coming out so fast they were almost unintelligible.

They tacitly refrained from asking about Changyeyue's situation, knowing they would find out sooner or later anyway.

However, the situation on March 7th is not good right now, so it's best to go to a relatively safe place to rest and recover.

Why is it considered relatively safe?

—Because they are inside the belly of a Great King of Annihilation!

"Alright, let's go back."

Yunzhi is preparing to return to the Holy City to rest.

After running around for so long, being ambushed by the mastermind behind the scenes, going to the deepest part of Onfaros to find someone, and then coming here again...

Even now, as a doll, one cannot help but feel mentally exhausted.

Oh, I almost forgot, I still need to put some effort into convincing the real thing...

Never mind, we'll talk about it later.

It would be better to go back and find a place to sleep now.

"Wait a minute, I'm taking a picture."

Xing, who had been chattering away with March 7th, immediately remembered the important point and took out March 7th's camera.

With lightning speed, he flashed towards Oronis in the mist—

Although everyone present could only maintain a superficial respect for Titan, Star's carefree attitude was indeed somewhat unexpected.

At the same time, a whisper came from the Titans in the mist—

Xia Die raised her head, took a few steps forward, and listened carefully to Oronis's voice...

"Mother... Mother?"

Mother???

Yunzhi didn't think that Olonis's "Mom" was actually calling Xing, since Xing had been chattering away in front of her for so long, she would have called him that long ago.

Is it related to cameras?

Yunzhi looked towards March 7th.

Seeing that she was still undergoing the memory recall process, he turned his gaze to Chang Yeyue.

The moon silently avoided the long night.

—I already said that Oronis's name for March 7th would surprise him greatly.

The butterfly dutifully translated the Titan's whispers:

"Is it you? Is it you? Mother... She met you, she misses you..."

What kind of switch is used for a camera?

The "empty spirit" of March 7th hides beneath the veil of [Time], and Euryss calls March 7th his mother...

Why didn't He speak when Yun brought March 7th out?

Do you think he wouldn't understand even if you explained?

"Follow me...please follow me..."

Eulonis extended an invitation to the stars.

Dan Heng asked curiously, "Is Titan... inviting us to the planet?"

Even calling Him "Mother" made it difficult to feel hostile towards Him for a moment.

—They're already calling you "Mom," so give in to them.

Yunzhi looked at Oronis and said, "Go ahead, maybe you can find... I mean, the memories of before your mother Kafka threw you here."

Xing scratched her head: "Kafka..."

Although she always calls her "Mom," the other person is not actually her mother.

What was she like before?

Xing took two steps forward and met Oronis's gaze—

Then she stayed there.

Less than a minute.

Then, accompanied by a cute "MiMi" sound.

A pink creature, somewhat resembling a little rabbit, appeared beside Xing.

The creatures were familiar; they had seen them when the train landed.

Just now... someone's gaze came over.

I noticed some changes in Xing, probably because the Star God's gaze had come down to me.

[Destruction] He's already seen it all; there's nothing else that would attract His attention now. [Intelligence]...He probably won't be looking at the stars for now.

Is it [memory]?

Yun Zhi squeezed her eyes shut to hide the slight shock in her heart.

—It's quite different from any of the memories he's had before.

Xing shook her head and sorted out the memories she had just seen.

"Let's talk about it slowly when we get back."

Xing said this.

Considering that March 7th would require rest, Danheng agreed.

So they turned around and walked back the way they came—

Although the journey here involved crossing mountains and valleys, the return journey should be much smoother.

They happily walked away with their friends.

Yunzhi did not leave immediately.

He took two steps, then turned to look at the platform they had just been on.

The children didn't see it.

But in Yunzhi's eyes, a strange image was reflected.

An arrow emitting a faint glow is firmly embedded in the pattern of the platform.

It's as if the Möbius strip has been nailed to this spot.

Yunzhi was somewhat puzzled.

—That was his arrow.

This is obvious.

--only……

—That force doesn't seem like something he would use to shoot…
