"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Dan Heng's voice, everyone stopped and turned to look at him.
“Mr. Walter said there’s been a problem at the Star Core…” Dan Heng said truthfully.
"situation?"
"What's happened now?"
Because of this communication, Zhou Xiao and his group changed their route and went from the lower area to the upper area, entering the Everwinter Ridge. When they arrived at the area where the star core was located, they saw Walter's figure in the distance.
"Uncle Yang?!" March 7 waved at Walter, but Walter ignored her.
"What brings you here?" Walter asked, adjusting his glasses with a slightly puzzled expression.
"Didn't Uncle Yang send a message to Danheng telling us to come over?" March 7th scratched his head.
"No, I told him there was a problem with the star core, but I didn't ask him to bring you all over..."
Upon hearing Walter's voice, everyone's gaze shifted to Dan Heng's face. The latter wore a thoughtful expression, remained silent for two seconds, and then said:
"So that's how it is..."
“Since you’re already here… take this back with you.” Walter handed a specially made metal box to Danheng.
"This is?"
"Fragments of Zhou Xiao's longsword..." Walter adjusted his glasses again and said seriously:
"I discovered that these metal fragments were affected by a portion of the star core's power, causing a certain degree of change... This is the unexpected situation I mentioned..."
A certain degree of change?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiao, the person involved, became curious and asked Dan Heng to open the box and take a look.
As far as the eye could see, the metal fragments of the longsword broken within the star core were still rusty, with cracks covering the broken blade. It looked like it was about to shatter, but it was still maintaining a stable state.
As for the hilt, it's no different from before, looking quite ordinary.
"Has this knife really changed?" Zhou Xiao looked at it a few more times but still felt there was nothing special about it.
"Didn't you notice that this broken knife remains in a stable state?"
“This…” Zhou Xiao paused for a second, then gently touched the blade. Before he could even apply much force, the long sword snapped into countless metal fragments scattered inside the box.
“...”
This sudden change caught everyone present, except Walter, off guard.
"It...is unstable," Xingmei muttered to herself.
This knife... was "broken" by the master.
Zhou Xiao, the person involved, slightly raised his head and glanced at Walter: "Uncle Yang... this."
"Don't rush... take another look."
Upon hearing Walter's voice, the group was slightly puzzled.
It's already shattered like this... so don't panic!
Everyone's attention was drawn back to the fragments of the long sword inside the box. Within seconds, the fragments seemed to be quantum entangled and able to locate each other, attracting each other and slowly restoring themselves to the original shape of the sword before everyone's eyes.
"!!!"
ah?
Is that even possible?!
“See…it’s stable now,” Walter said calmly.
"What's the principle behind this?" Xingmei's eyes widened and her mouth slightly agape in shock.
"Anyway... it won't be the Pythagorean theorem," Walter replied seriously.
Zhou Xiao stared at the broken blade for a long time, feeling as if he had seen that scene somewhere before.
The Demon Blade Thousand Blades?
A low-spec version of the Ironclad?
He touched his chin, finding it outrageous.
...
The train crew left and returned to the Starry Sky Train.
Zhou Xiao came alone.
When Zhou Xiao left, he took Jarvis and Kun Kunzi, the two hand-made robots, with him. Looking at Jarvis not far away, Zhou Xiao thought that finally someone would clean the kitchen after he finished cooking.
This was one of the most satisfying takeaways from his trip to Arilho.
Inside a building near the ruins of Kreeberburg, Bronya, who was busy with government affairs and discussions with Seele in the lower districts, noticed a streak of "shooting star" flying upwards across the sky outside the window.
She could vaguely sense that the shooting star was the departure of visitors from outer space...
"They left... without even saying goodbye."
That annoying guy... he's gone too, right?
Bronya's mind flashed with Zhou Xiao's image. Despite her dislike for him, he had ultimately saved the entire Berlöberg...
He probably didn't tell anyone the secret, right?
Bronya suddenly thought of the incident in the core tunnel where Zhou Xiao had threatened her with death several times.
Hearing her voice, Seele, who was standing next to her, also noticed the view outside the window.
"They're leaving already? That guy..." The guy Xi'er was referring to was clearly Zhou Xiao, since she only had nodding acquaintances with the other members of the train crew.
His relationship with Zhou Xiao could be described as a "life-or-death friendship".
Zhou Xiaosheng, she almost died...
He wreaked havoc in the lower level, then saved both the upper and lower levels of Belleburg...
Kunfeng, the swift wind... Even now, Xier is still somewhat unsure whether Zhou Xiao is a good person or a bad person...
Somewhere in Belleburg, the purple-haired Sambo also noticed the train crew leaving. He scratched his head, feeling that the performance was missing something.
Snap...
The fun is over.
...
On the Star Train.
Zhou Xiao and his group finally returned to the Starry Sky Train.
"Welcome back..." The long-legged Himeko and Train Conductor Pam wobbled over to greet them, delighted to see everyone safe and sound.
"How was it... how was your first exploration trip?" Himeko asked Hoshino with her beautiful eyes, "Little Sanyue... did everything go smoothly?"
"Himeko...we're so reliable!" March Seven glanced at Himeko, who simply smiled back at her.
"Hmm...not bad." Xingmei thought for two seconds and gave this two-word evaluation.
She's essentially lying through her teeth...
"These two passengers are..." Compared to being concerned about Xingmei's pioneering experience, Train Conductor Pam noticed Zhou Xiao first, and then saw Jarvis, who was quite large and heavily armored, and Kunkunzi behind Zhou Xiao.
"Ah... my assistant, Jarvis, Kunkunzi, say hello." Zhou Xiao said casually.
"Hello..." Jarvis and Kunkunzi's mechanical voice units both emitted sounds. Jarvis raised his hand, and the dark short-shaft howitzer lit up, making Pam a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Seeing Pam's reaction, Zhou Xiao went over and rubbed Pam's head.
"No touching..." Little Pam dodged away abruptly, straightened her train conductor's hat, and looked at Zhou Xiao with a displeased expression:
“Zhou Xiao, logistics officer... I’m warning you, don’t touch the train conductor’s head like that... If you touch it again, I’ll kick you off the train.”
"I know, I know..." Zhou Xiao clearly didn't take it to heart. He'd heard Pam say this many times before, but each time Pam would continue to warn him...
