“You’ve been standing here for two whole hours. I rarely see you so worried.”
In the vast starry sky outside the Jade Realm Gate, the Star Train stopped in front of the gate. Inside the carriage, the cold-faced little green dragon stood by the window, staring blankly at the huge immortal ship Luofu. He only came back to his senses when Ji Zi's voice echoed in his mind.
Seeing him turn around, Ms. Himeko smiled slightly and said, "Are you worried about those two children? With Walter here, you can relax a bit."
Dan Heng lowered his head, looked aside, and remained silent for a moment before finally speaking up: "You should have saved the remote communications between Himeko and the Star Core Hunter, right? Can I take a look?"
Danheng happened to be absent when Kafka's image appeared on the train.
“…Okay,” Himeko said.
...
"--Moreover, before the 45th system time, a star core on Luofu... exploded."
In the pitch black, Kafka's voice echoed in Danheng's heart.
"An unexpected disaster, isn't it?"
“Star Core Hunters, what are you up to… The Immortal Ship Alliance isn’t as easy to talk to as we are. Once you’re targeted by the hunters, you’re no longer hunters, but prey. The Alliance will chase you to the ends of the universe.”
Uncle Yang's voice remained calm and steady.
"Just say what you want to say, Kaffa."
Hearing Himeko's voice, Dan Heng sighed.
"It's very simple. This star core has nothing to do with us, but the Immortal Boat Alliance has already pinned the blame on us star core hunters."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dan Heng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
"stop!"
Staring at the holographic image of the "old friend" blade in front of him, Dan Heng was instantly stunned, his heart filled with turmoil.
Seeing that Danheng was in a bad mood, Ji Zi thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know him?"
Dan Heng's gaze remained fixed on the Star Core Hunter, as he murmured woodenly, "The Immortal Ship... is very dangerous... this person... this person..."
He was halfway through his sentence when Dan Heng's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"If he's on the fairy ship, then everyone—Mr. Walter, March 7th, and Star—is in danger!"
Soon after, Dan Heng lowered his head...
"But……"
Seeing his dejected appearance, the understanding Aunt Himeko said softly, "Is it related to the things you used to escape?"
Danheng nodded.
"But I can't just leave them alone. I'm afraid... my burdens will finally catch up and drag everyone into this..."
As he spoke, Dan Heng shifted his gaze to Himeko.
"Who can be without burdens? Even if Xiao Sanyue doesn't remember anything, she still has heavy things on her shoulders."
As she said this, Himeko subconsciously shifted her gaze to the vast Milky Way outside the train window.
"We walk on an unseen path of destiny. Everything we see, hear, and explore is our baggage. Even the heavy burdens we carry are the strength to keep going."
Then, Himeko looked at Danheng again and chuckled, "Don't overthink it, Danheng."
"According to the rules, the train stops for seven standard days, during which time passengers are free to use their own time."
"With me and Pam on duty on the train, that's enough. Oh, and don't underestimate our train conductor; he's incredibly capable."
"Hmm, so, just do what you want to do. It's always better than regretting it later, isn't it?"
After listening to what Miss Himeko said, Dan Heng finally made up his mind. He looked at Himeko again and nodded heavily.
Then he turned around with a determined look in his eyes.
"By the way, after everything's over, you'll be going back to the train and traveling with everyone, right?"
Dan Heng paused for a moment, then nodded.
Pam, who was scratching his butt by the door, was so startled by Dan Heng's sudden approach that he almost jumped up and quickly pulled his hand away.
"Uh, cough cough, passenger Danheng, have you changed your mind and are planning to get off?"
"Yes." Dan Heng nodded.
Pam smiled and said, "Then Pam wishes you a safe journey!"
"After passengers disembark, please make sure to return to the train within the designated time. It would be even better if you could bring some local specialties with you."
"I see."
Dan Heng remained silent for a moment before speaking.
After saying that, he turned around and pushed open the train door.
...
Looking at the cluttered containers in front of him, Dan Heng frowned.
He opened his phone, found Xing's chat window, and typed: "I've arrived in Luofu. Where are you guys right now?"
After a while, he discovered that there seemed to be a problem with the signal, and the message failed to be sent.
It won't send...
Network connectivity is limited, but some functions are working normally...
After thinking it over, Dan Heng decided to take a walk around first. As long as they were still on the immortal ship, there was no worry about not being able to reunite.
Feeling the familiar atmosphere of Luofu, Dan Heng's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.
As when I left, almost nothing has changed.
In my memory, Luofu, apart from darkness, is just this place.
He gazed at the main road ahead, thinking to himself.
Suddenly, Dan Heng turned the corner and froze in shock.
The aura of a demonic being permeated the surroundings...
"You stay here and do your job. Leave the rescue work to the professionals."
"But this young lady's outfit doesn't look like that of a professional."
A blond man carrying a coffin calmly joked.
"Hey, don't let my messy appearance fool you, we can still be pretty good at fighting, don't you think, Mr. Orange?"
Upon hearing this, Dan Heng frowned, flashed in front of the two, and a battle that would be overwhelmingly decisive was about to break out...
