Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 119 Turbulence of Imaginary Numbers

"Hey! Hey!"

Suddenly, the loudspeaker in the carriage came on, and Pam's clear voice came through.

"The train's next stop is Yalilo-6. Passengers, please be seated and hold on tight. The jump is about to begin!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong, who had been reclining on the sofa, quickly sat up straight and placed the bottle of Sulex soda in his hand on the table next to him.

Just a while ago.

Pinocchio's "family" sent an invitation to the train, inviting all the nameless passengers to join them on this grand event.

When Pam announced the news, March was so excited she almost jumped for joy.

She immediately turned around, excitedly grabbed Xing, and headed towards her room.

Seeing this, Pam stopped them with a puzzled look and asked them why.

March 7th stopped, smiled, and replied, "Preparing for Pinocchio's 'pioneering' endeavor."

however.

Pam's next words, however, poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

"Although the Starry Sky Train has been invited, there is still some time before the date specified in the invitation, so even if we go now, we can't check in in advance."

Pam's words instantly froze March 7's smile on his face.

"Huh!? What should we do during this time?" March 7th immediately asked.

She had originally planned to wear her treasured dress to the event, but little did she know that the grand opening was still some time away.

This stark contrast was hard for her to accept, and the initial enthusiasm within her was quickly extinguished.

Seeing that March 7th looked a little disappointed, Himeko walked over and gently patted her shoulder, while handing her her phone to look at.

"Little March, take a look at this first."

On March 7th, I took my phone and found several newly received messages on the screen.

It was sent by Bronya.

The sign read: "How are you all doing, fellow passengers on the Star Train?"

[Bellburg is currently hosting celebrations to welcome the "Sunshine Festival," a festive occasion that residents hadn't experienced for a long time due to the lockdown.]

If any of you on the Star Train have the time, I would like to invite you to attend this celebration and witness the milestones achieved by the Belleberg Renaissance Project.

After reading the message, March 7th was slightly taken aback.

She looked up from her phone, then up at Himeko, her eyes filled with confusion: "What is this...?"

Himeko waved her phone, smiling as she explained, "Since the Pinocchio festival hasn't started yet, why not go to Belloberg's 'Sunshine Festival' first, shall we?"

......

and so.

With Danheng and Walter Young abstaining from voting, everyone unanimously agreed to temporarily change the destination to Yalilo-6.

"Sigh." Recalling all of this, Lin Qiong sighed softly.

He seemed a little uneasy sitting on the comfortable sofa, his eyes wandering around the carriage unconsciously.

If Lin Qiong remembers correctly, this time point happens to be the scene where the company goes to Yalilo-6 to collect debts.

Faced with the company's pursuit of debt, the most crucial turning point for Yalilo-6—the Creation Engine—seems to have already been destroyed by him.

Thinking about this, his feelings suddenly became complicated.

Although it was unintentional, he was the one who destroyed the creation engine, which filled him with guilt.

If the Yalilo-6 ultimately falls into the company's hands and is used to pay off debts, then he will certainly bear the greatest responsibility.

"How about... helping Belloberg back then?" Lin Qiong thought to himself.

But how to help became a problem he faced.

"How can we steal the 'source code' that controls all the robots from Toppa?"

Lin Qiong frowned, lost in deep thought.

But not long after that.

Pam's voice came over the loudspeaker in the observation car again.

"Nearby spatial readings are within the normal range. Transition initiation now!"

"Five, four, three, two, one!"

As the countdown ended, a dazzling blue light instantly enveloped the Star Train.

Everything before Lin Qiong's eyes immediately became blurry, and the sounds around him gradually faded away, as if the whole world had been frozen in time.

Just when he thought that this would be the same as before, after a brief moment of distraction he would be able to reach his destination smoothly.

"Bang!"

A loud thud, like a heavy object hitting the ground, followed by a sudden tremor that swept through the entire carriage.

The originally brightly lit observation car also became flickering due to the inexplicable tremors.

Then.

The lights went out completely, plunging the entire carriage into darkness.

This inexplicable tremor nearly caused Lin Qiong to fall off the sofa.

He swayed involuntarily with the vibration, his hands instinctively grabbing the sofa to steady his trembling body.

Just as he was wondering.

"Bang!"

Another violent tremor struck.

The tremor seemed to be more intense than before, and Lin Qiong was almost blown away by it.

"Ouch!"

In the darkness, there was a loud commotion of things being overturned, followed by March 7's painful cry.

"March 7th, are you alright? What happened?"

Lin Qiong quickly looked in the direction of the sound, but the pitch-black environment prevented him from seeing March 7.

"I...I think I bumped into the corner of the table."

March 7th's voice trembled slightly, as if he was enduring the excruciating pain from the impact.

"What happened?"

The bus doors suddenly opened.

Hearing the noise, Lin Qiong looked in the direction of the sound.

In the darkness, figures resembling Danheng and Walter Yang were seen groping their way in despite the violent tremors.

It seems that the strong tremor caught the attention of the two men.

at the same time.

Himeko's slightly helpless voice came from the darkness: "Hoshi, you're hugging my foot..."

She was trying her best to protect the coffee in her hand from spilling it due to the vibration.

But Xing's sudden hug almost caused the coffee in the cup to splash out.

"Ah! Himeko, I'm sorry, this is shaking too much, let me hold you for a bit!"

Despite realizing his lapse in decorum, Hoshi's hands remained wrapped around Himeko's thighs.

Listen to the conversation between the two in the darkness.

Lin Qiong couldn't help but feel speechless; Xing's abacus beads were about to bounce off his face.

however.

Before anyone could figure out what had happened...

Pamna's slightly hurried voice suddenly came from the carriage's loudspeaker: "The train encountered an unknown imaginary turbulence during the jump. Passengers, please remain calm and do not move around in the carriage."

But the words had barely left his mouth.

"Bang!"

Another violent tremor struck, as if a chaotic force was tearing the Star Train apart.

and.

The tremor was unprecedentedly strong, and Lin Qiong, who was holding onto the sofa, was thrown directly into the air, his whole body flying up.

After landing.

His head hit the ground first, making a heavy thud.

The intense pain caused his vision to go black, his consciousness to quickly become blurred, and he then fell into a coma.

......

Near a certain coastline.

"The fish has taken the bait, hurry up and reel it in!"

"Don't rush me, this fish is quite strong, why don't you lend a hand?"

"Well... I probably can't be of much help with my strength, can I?"

"Then why are you still urging me!"

Just as they were arguing, a huge rift suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Hey! Look, what's that!"

White Hair's eyes widened, and he pointed to the sky, exclaiming in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the blond-haired man looked up and followed the direction the white-haired man was pointing.

A jet-black train suddenly burst out of the huge hole and rushed toward the two people.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Huang Mao was startled.

He immediately threw away his fishing rod, grabbed Bai Mao's body, and ran quickly toward a safe side.

"boom!"

The impact was as loud as thunder.

The train made an emergency landing in the air, crashing into the spot where they had just been standing, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The land was dragged out in a long trail, and the surrounding trees were uprooted.

Seeing this, the blond and white-haired men were filled with shock.

They couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been if they had been just a step slower.

At this time.

Suddenly, Huang Mao clapped her hands, realizing she had thrown her fishing rod into the sea.

So he shouted, "Oh no, dinner's gone!"
