Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 21 The vortex ends at the center - Ye Tianyu's slacking off
"I don't know how to do that." Dan Heng and Ye Tianyu's voices sounded at the same time.

"Wow! Why are you here! How come you are faster than us?" San Yueqi was startled by Dan Heng who had just arrived behind him.

"I took another route, detouring from the upper floor, and happened to see you in the control room."

"So the Alan you mentioned is in the monitoring room?" Ye Tianyu asked.

"Yes, that's right. But the other party was slightly injured, but his life is not in danger."

"You found him... Alan, does he know what's going on with this elevator?"

"Well... Sister March, have you ever gotten anything from Estelle before, such as temporary permissions or ID cards?" Ye Tianyu asked.

"Hmm...I don't think so..." Sanyueqi thought for a moment and said, "But there is a card..."

"Can you show me that card?" Ye Tianyu asked again. "Since Station Master Esther gave you this card, it means it is useful."

"Sure! Wait a minute, let me look for it... Eh? Weird... I remember it was right here... Eh? Where did it go?" March 7 rummaged through her bag but couldn't find the so-called card.

"Uh... Sister March... the card you are talking about couldn't be this one?" Ye Tianyu pointed at the black and orange card hanging on March's waist.

"Yes! This is the one!" San Yueqi handed the card to Ye Tianyu.

"Well... this card feels like a key to me..." Ye Tianyu put the card on the sensor.

Then a sound that seemed to be a serious success was heard.

The elevator also began to rise to their floor.

"Ah? So this is the elevator key?" March 7 scratched his head and said.

"I don't know, it could also be an authority card." Ye Tianyu shook his shoulders and said.

But suddenly the elevator stopped.

"Well, why did the elevator stop again?" March 7 said as he looked at the elevator stopped downstairs.

"Well, maybe someone is remotely controlling it. Let's go find Alan and ask him about the details first." Dan Heng said after thinking for a while.

"Then let's go to the monitoring room to find Alan first." Sanyueqi said. "Go and ask what's going on. Xing, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Xing nodded.

Then everyone walked towards the monitoring room and saw Alan standing next to the operating table, seemingly debugging something.

"Ah, are you guys together?" Alan asked when he saw the group approaching.

"Yes, they and I are all passengers on the Starry Sky Train." March Seven said with a smile.

"Oh, so it was Ms. Black Tower who asked you to come and support here?" Alan said.

"It's just a coincidence. We got the relic that the Black Tower commissioned the train to find, and we returned to deliver it as per the agreement... but we didn't expect to run into the scene of the attack." Dan Heng explained.

"So why is the Antimatter Legion targeting you? I see that their target of attack is the space station, and they don't seem to have any interest in the surface of the planet." March Seven asked puzzledly.

"I don't have any clues. The army's arrival was very strange... The defense system in the station suddenly failed, and those guys appeared not long after." Alan said. "Your name is Alan, right? I want to ask if the Black Tower Space Station has relics and strange objects similar to the Destroyer or... star cores." Ye Tianyu asked. "Because as far as I know, only these two things can attract so many antimatter legions to invade."

"I'm sorry, sir, I have no idea what exactly is in Ms. Black Tower's collection. But I can guarantee that there are definitely no items related to the Order of Destruction, but... there is a star core." Alan thought for a while and shook his head.

"That's right!" Ye Tianyu snapped his fingers and said, "It's very likely that the antimatter army was attracted by the energy of the star core."

"Sir, your guess is unlikely. This is because the star core was found on the Azure Star. I once heard from Miss...Stationmaster Esther that this space station, in addition to being a space transfer station and receiving signals from other planets, also has another use, which is to seal the star core." Alan shook his head and said, "So this gentleman's guess is unlikely."

"Apart from this, are there any other possibilities?" Ye Tianyu said, shaking his shoulders. "But we'll investigate this later. The most important thing now is to return to the main control cabin to find out the next steps. Alan, do you know what happened to the elevator?"

"Sorry, about the elevator..." Alan replied apologetically.

It turned out that the elevator was forced to stop remotely by Alan.

Because within his surveillance range, he saw a lot of antimatter legions approaching the elevator at the same time as the elevator was moving.

For the safety of the staff in the main control cabin, Alan was forced to stop the elevator.

"So that's how it is. It's really not your fault, Alan. After all, you were just trying to protect the staff in the main control cabin." March 7 understood after hearing Alan's explanation.

"Well, thank you for your understanding. I will open the elevator entrance on the top floor in a moment. This way, the elevator will not descend to other floors and allow the antimatter army to take advantage of the opportunity to enter. And you can take the elevator from there to the main control cabin." Alan bowed and said.

"What do you mean, 'everyone'? Aren't you coming along?" March Seven asked in confusion.

"I have difficulty moving... I will be a burden to you. I will stay here and block the elevator access again after you successfully arrive." Alan said, looking at his injured dominant hand.

"You don't have to worry about being held back. Blocking the elevator authority can also be done in the main control cabin, right?" Dan Heng said.

"That's right. We've come here, and with Dan Heng, it shouldn't be that serious." San Yue Qi said. "Leave the Antimatter Army to us. Alan, just follow us and take care of yourself."

"As long as you trust us." Xing nodded and said.

"Ah...thank you." In this way, Alan acted together with Ye Tianyu and others.

The group then passed through the road behind the monitoring room and went all the way to the second floor of the containment section.

Along the way, Dan Heng and Xing were leading the way in the front, while San Yue Qi was finishing off the rear.

As for Ye Tianyu...

Still slacking off beside Alan.

Ye Tianyu: Nonsense! I am protecting the wounded!
"Uh...Mr. Tianyu, aren't you going to help them?" Alan asked Ye Tianyu who was doing nothing.

"There's no need to take action for now, they can handle these." Ye Tianyu said with his hands on his head, looking around bored.

"Is that so? I didn't expect Mr. Tianyu to trust his companions so much." Alan said to Ye Tianyu who was bored.

"The elders of our train crew didn't take action. Maybe they are protecting us secretly." Ye Tianyu said, squinting his eyes as he looked out the window at the scenery outside.

And within his sight, there happened to be a person drinking coffee leisurely.
