Chapter 209 What am I here for?
So many people...
The five people stood there, looking at each other, unsure of what to say...
At once...
It was quite awkward.
"What's going on here..." Xingmei asked, looking at everyone, confused.
"Ah...it's nothing, I was just taking a stroll..." Kafka explained.
"Me too... just wandering around, I don't know how I ended up here..." Silver Wolf chimed in upon hearing this.
"You...aren't you working with Black Tower to improve the platform? ...Are you so free?" The perceptive Star Girl sensed that Silver Wolf wasn't being sincere.
“She’s doing testing… I’m just taking a stroll, is that a problem? No problem!” Silver Wolf replied.
"Oh...I see. So, March, what about you?" Xingmei looked at March 7th again.
"I..." After being called out by name, March 7th was under everyone's gaze, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Huh? How did I get here? I think I was sleepwalking."
Sleepwalking?
Upon hearing this, everyone present raised an eyebrow at the absurd reason given for March 7th.
That's really outrageous...
"By the way... Xing, what brings you here too?" March 7th, perhaps realizing his reason was a bit far-fetched, quickly changed the subject.
"Huh?" Xingmei raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. "Is it unreasonable for me to be here? I'm my master's disciple... but you guys..."
“I’m Ah Xiao’s colleague!” Kafka immediately said, “A colleague visiting a colleague, that’s very typical of the river.”
"I am..." Silver Wolf originally wanted to say "colleague," but Kafka beat her to it. She felt that saying it again would be repetitive, so she changed her identity: "Zhou Xiao is my gaming partner. I'm here to see my gaming partner. Isn't that pretty fitting?"
"Gaming buddy?"
"That sounds like a stretch..."
"I'm Zhou Xiao's boss. I'm the one who recruited Zhou Xiao onto the Starry Sky Train..." Himeko chimed in.
“Yes, in the river.” Xingmei nodded.
"I don't need to say anything, right? I'm Zhou Xiao's friend and colleague." March 7th chimed in when everyone else said the same thing.
At first glance, it all seems reasonable...
Since it's all so reasonable...
The group exchanged glances and, as if on cue, announced that they had something urgent to attend to and would be leaving first...
As everyone left one by one, Xingmei stroked her chin, glanced at the departing figure of March 7th, and then looked at the doctor inside the life support pod.
Um...
They must all be friends, right?
right...
We're all friends...
Xingmei expressed this view...
...
The following evening.
The device to save Zhou Xiao had completed its basic testing with the help of Silver Wolf and Black Tower. The group stood in front of the device, looking at the several cabins in front of them, but none of them said much.
"Gentlemen...who will go?" Black Tower asked expressionlessly.
"I'll go..." Xingmei was about to raise her hand, but after hearing everyone almost unanimously say they would go, she immediately changed her "I'll go" to "I'll go~".
What's going on...?
Are you all going?
"Hey, hey, hey... there aren't that many cabins. Take your pick, five at most..." Black Tower was a little surprised to see that everyone wanted to go.
Is Xiao so popular this week?
strangeness...
"I'm the one who recruited Zhou Xiao to the Starry Sky Train. I have a reason to go... I must bring him back." After a moment of silence, Himeko revealed her reason for having to go.
"Ah, I see." Kafka understood upon hearing this: "I'm the one who recruited Ah Xiao to become a Star Core Hunter. My reason for having to go is the same as hers..."
“Then I have to go too…” Silver Wolf said upon seeing this, “I programmed the device, so if anything unexpected happens… I can handle it.”
“And me…” March 7th silently raised her hand: “I also have reasons why I have to go…”
Why are you going to join in the fun?
“It’s none of your business… Anyway… I have to go,” March 7th firmly stated.
After a round of intense discussion, the final list was set as Kafka, Silver Wolf, Himeko, March Seven, and Hoshino...
Does this list look familiar?
That's right.
It was those same people who gathered in Zhou Xiao's life support cabin last night...
As for the others, although they also wanted to save Zhou Xiao, they were all stopped by Himeko, Kafka and the others.
The group lay down inside the cabin, and as the door closed, a strange gas gradually filled the space...
“Listen... No matter what Zhou Xiao’s inner world is like, your subconscious must be clear that it is an illusion... it is fake, and your goal is to pull Zhou Xiao out.”
"Remember this... otherwise you might also fall into Zhou Xiao's subconscious inner world..."
The Black Tower's voice was transmitted to the group's ears through the internal sound device, and everyone replied that they had received it.
As the Black Tower activated the device, everyone's eyelids gradually grew heavy, and they fell into a deep sleep. Their consciousness, after being filtered through one device after another, was connected to Zhou Xiao, who was unconscious in the central cabin.
Zhou Xiao...
I've come to find you...
On March 7th, his breathing became increasingly rapid, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally his eyes closed tightly, his mind remaining fixed on the pure white coating of the cabin...
"Phew... all done." After sending everyone's consciousness into Zhou Xiao's subconscious, Black Tower let out a long breath, indicating that her work was complete.
"The rest is up to them..."
Upon hearing this, the others present all looked toward the cabins.
Blade, Danheng, Walter...
The three of them couldn't persuade Himeko and Kafka otherwise, so they had to stay and guard the base...
...
I don't know how much time passed.
March 7th groggily opened her eyes. She felt a chill. Looking around, she saw an endless meadow. In the distance, a group of strange-looking creatures were gathered around a campfire. She herself was soaking wet...
"Are you... alright?" A woman's voice sounded in her ear.
Turning his head, he saw a blonde girl dressed in white holding a blunt sword and looking at him. Beside her floated a creature that looked like a little elf.
"You... are you?" March 7th was a little confused about who the person in front of him was.
"I?"
“I am Ying,” the blonde girl said slowly.
"I'm Paimon!" the little one beside her introduced herself, then turned to March 7th and asked, "Who are you? I've never seen you before..."
"I...I am March 7th, from the Starry Sky Train. I've come here to..." Thinking of the purpose of her trip, March 7th felt a headache coming on; she seemed to have forgotten what she had come for...
"I'm here to..."
What am I here for?
