Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 79 "Exploration" - Planets Never Reached

Hi! How are you?

The messenger greeted Lin Qiong, showing no surprise that he recognized him.

As believers in "memory," Fuli bestowed upon them the "blessing" of being able to peer into the memories of others.

So from the moment he saw Lin Qiong, the memories deep within his heart had already surfaced before the messenger's eyes.

"Hmm...you seem to be a bit special. A part of your memories seems to be protected by some powerful force, as if they were imprinted and hidden!"

The messenger put his hands behind his back and circled around Lin Qiong, his gaze constantly wandering over him.

What do you want to do?

Lin Qiong's gaze was fixed firmly on the messenger, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Although the Memory Providers of this Radiant Memory Court appear harmless, their abilities are terrifying.

In addition to the most basic collection of memories, the memory collectors of the Flowing Light Memory Court can also easily tamper with, restrict, manipulate, steal, or even delete the memories of others.

Even more terrifying is that they can use the memories in your mind to weave elaborate dreams.

It makes people fall into it without realizing it, unable to extricate themselves.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but shudder.

"Oh, don't be nervous. We have undergone rigorous training, and any memory manipulation that violates the law will immediately terminate my existence."

The messenger seemed to see through Lin Qiong's thoughts and smiled reassuringly.

"Moreover, the memories you possess are so precious that they attracted that lord to personally preserve them, which is extremely rare in the entire Flowing Light Memory Court."

The messenger's words startled Lin Qiong slightly, as he recalled the scene he had witnessed while unconscious.

So, Fu Li appeared at that time to collect memories?

What memories could I possibly have that are worth collecting?

Filled with questions, Lin Qiong immediately asked, "Since Fu Li has collected all my memories, why are you people from the Flowing Light Memory Court looking for me?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiong's question, the messenger smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated this question.

"Here's what happened. As usual, while I was traveling throughout the universe, collecting memories, I stumbled upon a planet that even 'exploration' had never reached."

“The imaginary number locality there is currently being blocked by a massive imaginary number turbulence. I hope the Star Train can make a trip there.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's mouth opened slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Huh? A planet that even the 'Exploration' team hasn't reached?"

He repeated the messenger's words to himself, his tone tinged with disbelief.

How powerful is Akivili, the "Pioneer" star god?

He led a group of nameless travelers, traversing almost every corner of the universe and connecting one world after another.

Even after His fall, those nameless travelers never stopped their pioneering efforts.

However, the planet that the messenger spoke of had never even been "explored," which greatly shocked Lin Qiong.

He took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil, and then slowly said, "Where the Star Train will go next is a decision made by everyone."

"The principle of majority rule applies, so I may not be able to help you."

Lin Qiong shrugged, spread his hands, and showed a helpless expression on his face.

Although he also longed to see the planet that even the "explorers" had never been to.

However, they have no say in choosing their next destination.

Upon hearing this, the messenger gently shook his head, as if he had expected this.

"It's alright, I've only discovered its existence, but I haven't had time to confirm the exact coordinates yet."

"I'll tell you the coordinates when we meet again."

After saying that, it waved to Lin Qiong as a farewell.

With this action, the messenger's body gradually became blurry, and then, enveloped in a blue light, it disappeared little by little in front of Lin Qiong.

After the messenger disappeared, the strange feeling that had been lingering in Lin Qiong's heart began to slowly dissipate.

Time, which had been frozen in the observation car, began to flow again.

Just then, the sound of a carriage door opening caught Lin Qiong's attention.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Pam walking out carrying a plate filled with exquisite food.

"Passenger Qiong, your food is ready."

Pam placed the plate steadily in front of Lin Qiong.

A fragrant aroma of food wafted over, making Lin Qiong, who had been starving for three days, unconsciously swallow.

Unable to bear the hunger any longer, he immediately picked up the utensils beside him and began to wolf down his food.

After a while, Lin Qiong finally finished the feast and patted his swollen belly with satisfaction.

His nose twitched suddenly, as if he had smelled a strange odor in the air.

"Hmm? What's that smell?"

A faint, rancid smell permeated the air, like garbage that had been piled up for a long time.

The pungent smell emitted after fermentation and decay.

Upon smelling this odor, Lin Qiong's expression instantly turned ugly.

He frowned and quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the stench.

The entire observation cabin was spotless, cleaned by Pam; there wasn't a speck of trash, not even a wisp of debris.

"That's strange, where is this stench coming from?"

As the stench grew stronger, Lin Qiong couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, his face showing an expression of unbearable discomfort.

Just then, the sound of a train door opening came from inside the observation car.

Xing rushed in from outside, carrying a golden bag in her arms.

Following closely behind were Danheng, March 7, Himeko, and Walter Yang.

They all showed displeasure on their faces and covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong suddenly realized where the stench was coming from.

So Xing went to rummage through the trash cans!

Meanwhile, March 7th was anxiously chasing after Xing, waving and shouting as she ran, "Xing! Hurry up and throw away the trash in your hand, then go take a shower!"

However, Xing, who was running ahead, stubbornly said, "No! This isn't trash, it's a treasure I found, I can't throw it away!"

And so, the two put on a good chase in the spacious observation carriage.

At the same time, Pam, who smelled the odor, rushed out of the bus.

When it saw Star and March 7 chasing each other in the spacious observation cabin, the stench of garbage was spreading everywhere with their movements.

Pam's face instantly filled with despair, as if the sky were about to collapse.

"I just finished cleaning, oh my god!!!"
