At this moment, Bronya is actively taking on the responsibility of the High Warden, leading the Silvermane Guardians in the rescue and resettlement of disaster victims. She and Seele are working together to balance the people in the upper and lower districts.
"Bronya! Seele!"
Bronya heard someone calling her and looked towards the source of the voice, only to see one of the extraterrestrial visitors appear before them once again.
yes...
star?
Um.
He seems to be Zhou Xiao's apprentice.
Bronya and Seele came down from the high place of the ruins and saw Danheng, Xing, and a red-haired stranger.
"Why...did you come back?"
"Find someone," Dan Heng said calmly.
"Looking for someone? Who?" Seele asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Zhou Xiao..."
"Is Zhou Xiao in Belloberg?" Seele asked Bronya.
“I don’t know…and I haven’t seen it.” Bronya shook her head.
He didn't come back...
Upon hearing the voices of these two people, Ji Zi frowned once again. She began to speculate that perhaps Zhou Xiao had once again gotten lost on the snowfields of Yalilo VI.
"Speaking of which...during the Antimatter Legion's invasion, when that giant sphere fell...did you guys help intercept it?" Seele described the Annihilation Lord in this way.
The adjective startled Dan Heng and the others, who then began to explain.
"That's not a giant sphere, it's the Annihilation Lord, the leader of the Antimatter Legion... As for intercepting it... we tried, but we did our best. In fact, we just retreated, but Zhou Xiao stayed behind with the Annihilation Lord to cover our retreat..."
"If someone tries to intercept us... then it's very likely Zhou Xiao."
Listening to the explanations from the train crew, Seele and Bronya had mixed feelings.
Zhou Xiao?
Did Zhou Xiao save Belloberg once again...?
Just as everyone fell silent, a childish voice rang out from afar.
"Big brother/sister..."
Clara's voice came from afar, and Schwarz was right beside her. She had rushed over after hearing Schwarz say that the variables had reappeared, ready to complete the task Zhou Xiao had given her.
"It's you... Clara." Seeing Clara approach, Seele asked, somewhat puzzled, "What does Clara want with us?"
"No... Clara came to deliver a letter to Brother Zhou Xiao's brothers and sisters."
Clara carefully took out the letter Zhou Xiao had left from her clothes and handed it to Dan Heng on tiptoe. For some reason, she felt that this icy-faced brother in front of her had a better relationship with Zhou Xiao than with others.
"I?"
A look of surprise flashed across Dan Heng's face before he bent down and took the letter.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, he handed the letter to Xingmei and said, "You are Zhou Xiao's apprentice, come and take a look."
“...”
Xingmei didn't refuse. She opened the letter, read it carefully, and her expression gradually changed from serious to astonished.
"What's written on it?" Xi'er asked curiously, not even knowing that Zhou Xiao had been there.
“Master…” Xingmei paused for a moment before continuing, “Master said he won’t be returning to the train for the time being…”
"..." Himeko remained silent.
"..." Dan Heng's brows furrowed slightly.
Is this farewell...so sudden?
...
"He said he encountered the Star Core Hunters... The Star Core Hunters invited him to infiltrate their ranks... an undercover agent? I think that's what they mean by an undercover agent?"
Xingmei's next words turned Himeko from silence to shock, and her face, which had a touch of maturity, showed confusion as she couldn't understand Zhou Xiao's behavior.
The Star Core Hunter... has actually appeared on Yalilo VI?
Zhou Xiao actually went undercover as a Star Core Hunter?
this...
"What exactly is he trying to do?" Ji Zi pursed her lips, somewhat confused about Zhou Xiao's actions.
"Is it possible... that Master was taken away under duress?" Xingmei asked at that moment.
"After all, Master was injured in his battle with the Annihilation Lord. If he encountered a Star Core Hunter at full strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to win... So, to save his life, he had no choice but to accept the Star Core Hunter's invitation..."
This guess is somewhat reasonable.
Upon hearing this, Himeko leaned down to look at Clara and asked in a calm tone, "When your brother Zhou Xiao came to give you this letter... was there anything different?"
"Hmm..." Clara thought for a moment and replied, "It's pretty much the same as usual, except that his clothes are all torn. Oh right, this time Brother Zhou Xiao is followed by two unfamiliar older sisters, whom Clara has never seen before."
"?"
Himeko frowned even more and asked, "Could you describe the clothes or appearance of those two older sisters?"
Clara paused to describe what she heard.
Pinkish-purple hair...a shirt, and a black umbrella.
Silver hair... a disdainful look, and blowing pink bubbles...
It's definitely Kafka and Silver Wolf.
After listening, Himeko slowly straightened up. Based on Clara's description, it could be determined that when Zhou Xiao sent the letter, Kafka and Silver Wolf were with him.
Undercover agent?
If this were an undercover agent, wouldn't it be too blatant for them to send a message?
"Thank you, Clara."
...
Bronya and Seele were completely confused.
Star Core Hunter?
