"Leaving the space station... well, in the next few days," Walter replied to Stargirl, adjusting his glasses.
Upon hearing that they were leaving the space station, Xingmei looked relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go quickly, let's really go quickly, my body can't take it anymore..."
Star Girl followed Walter back to the platform and onto the train, where she was greeted by Pam's adorable little figure:
"You're back, Pak. Perfect timing, the train is about to hold its next route meeting... Just sit and wait."
"Airline meeting..." Xingmei raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Walter beside her: "Uncle Yang...where are we going next?"
"Well... you'll find out in a bit," Walter said, keeping everyone in suspense.
While waiting for everyone to gather, Xing quietly turned on the train's public address system to pass the time.
"This is the Interstellar Peace Broadcast. Good evening, viewers."
"Good evening."
"Welcome to today's interstellar peace news program. First, let me introduce the main content of today's program."
"Communication signals have been restored to the frozen world of Yalilo VI. The Annihilation Lord [Burning Wind] led his antimatter legion to the vicinity of Yalilo VI but was attacked by an unknown force. The Annihilation Lord [Burning Wind]'s body is scattered throughout the Yalilo VI star system; his fate is unknown..."
"According to sources, the Star Train once stopped at the Yalilo VI... or may have had a direct confrontation with the Annihilation Lord [Burning Wind]..."
"Based on the expert's nonsensical analysis, someone capable of fighting the Annihilation Lord [Burning Wind] and inflicting heavy losses on him must be incredibly powerful... at least a Star God Envoy..."
Xingmei listened to the broadcast and touched her chin.
Experts... spouting nonsense?
What kind of weird name is this...?
"Star God Envoy? Does he even need to be called that...?"
These days, all the so-called experts are doing is spouting useless, nonsensical analysis...
As someone in the know, Xingmei suddenly missed her master Zhou Xiao while listening to this broadcast.
...
While she was listening to the radio, Pam used the loudspeaker to call everyone to gather in the sightseeing carriage. Soon after, March 7, Danheng, and others also arrived at the sightseeing carriage.
A few days later, March 7's eyes and ears had recovered to about 70% of their previous state, and she was gradually getting used to the days without Zhou Xiao on the train. She naturally came to the sightseeing carriage to greet Walter, Xingmei, and others.
"Hmm...everyone's here, Pam." Little Pam first counted the members on the train, and was slightly taken aback when she didn't see Zhou Xiao. Then she realized that Zhou Xiao was no longer on the train, and continued:
"First... the Star Train encountered an attack by the Antimatter Legion on Yalilo VI... Fortunately, the train narrowly escaped unscathed and did not suffer too much damage... After some rest and repairs, the train will depart again..."
Pam addressed the crowd, saying, "As for the next destination..."
Before he could finish speaking, a holographic projection suddenly appeared on the carpet not far away.
Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized the holographic projection as none other than the Star Hunter, Kafka. Kafka, holding a black umbrella, calmly glanced at the passengers on the Star Train and then greeted them:
"Long time no see, everyone on the Star Train... I'm Kaffa, do you remember me?"
Hmm?
Upon seeing Kafka's image appear on the Star Train, everyone's faces showed varying degrees of shock.
"Hmm..." Kafka strolled casually past the train crew, umbrella in hand. "Very good, everyone's here..."
"You wicked woman! Give Zhou Xiao back to us!"
Before Kafka could say anything more, March 7th, having recovered, charged towards her with his weapon.
Unfortunately, the Kafka in front of them was just a holographic projection. March 7 passed right through the projection without causing any real damage to Kafka.
"Zhou Xiao?" Hearing March 7 call out Zhou Xiao's name, Kafka smiled slightly, her lazy voice continuing:
"No need for you all to worry, Ah Xiao is doing very well with us Star Core Hunters, very well..."
He's very happy now...
"You're talking nonsense!" March 7th couldn't stand it when Kafka called Zhou Xiao "Ah Xiao" so intimately.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Kaffa glanced at March 7th, who was about to break down, then walked over: "Little girl, getting impatient already?"
"What kind of life did Ah Xiao lead on the Starry Sky Train? Let me think... a logistics worker, right?"
“He works tirelessly on the Star Train every day, doing mundane tasks for that little bit of pay. Tsk, shouldn’t you guys be paying him a salary?”
Kafka paused for a moment, then continued, "You're simply wasting his passion for life... By coming to us, the Star Core Hunters, we can give him greater freedom and better conditions to achieve everything he desires..."
"Isn't this more enjoyable than being on the Star Train, little girl?"
"You...you are wanted criminals!" March 7th pointed at Kafka and exclaimed, "It's because Zhou Xiao is with you that he's been corrupted!"
"Lead them astray?" Kafka sneered. "Leading them astray is better than abandoning them. Did the people on the Star Train just leave Ah Xiao alone on Yalilo VI to face the Annihilation Lord..."
"It's truly chilling... No wonder Ah Xiao was so willing to come with us back then..."
Abandon...
Kafka's words instantly halved March 7's momentum. She was unconscious at the time and indeed couldn't be with Zhou Xiao...
"March, don't listen to her..."
Himeko didn't want to explain anything, nor did she need to explain anything to the Star Core Hunter before her. She simply looked calmly at Kafka and said:
"You just swagger onto the Star Train like that, aren't you afraid we'll drag you back to the company for the reward? Do you know how much the bounty on your head is? It's an astronomical sum, regardless of whether you live or die..."
“Not really,” Kafka shrugged. “It’s more of a compliment than a bad reputation; the higher the number, the greater the praise. As for you wanting to catch me… well, you might as well try…”
...
"So...the Black Tower also praised you, a madman who claims to see destiny, leading a group of reckless lunatics, chasing the most dangerous thing in the universe..."
Himeko's tone was somewhat unfriendly:
"Zhou Xiao made a terrible mistake by choosing to follow you Star Core Hunters..."
"The wrong path..."
Kafka put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't think so. As for chasing the most dangerous things in the universe... in that respect, you Star Train people and I are the same kind of people, aren't we?"
