The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 74 Siluwa

Of course, the two did not find the silver wolf, nor the small dog with silver fur.

Unbeknownst to them, the two arrived near the Permafrost Monument, a landmark building in Belleburg. To Meng Huaifeng's regret, he did not see the symmetrical beauty of his sister Pera.

As an intelligence officer for the Silvermane Iron Guard, Pera has very little free time to teach the children about the rich and arduous history of this protected city.

Meng Huaifeng looked around and found Xiluwa's mechanical house. When it comes to gathering information, no passerby knows as much as Xiluwa.

Meng Huaifeng knew that Cocolia was the final boss, but he had no proof and no evidence.

The train crew would trust him, but the local residents would never believe him, and taking direct action against Cocolia would certainly cause great unrest.

The potential power grab, the pursuit by the Silvermane Iron Guards, the pressure from the redeployment of troops to the defense line, and the casualties caused by all possible scenarios will definitely not be less than the number of people saved if the crisis were resolved a certain period of time in advance.

That would be putting the cart before the horse.

The best approach is to find evidence, persuade some people, especially Bronya, and then take down Cocolia, allowing Bronya to immediately seize control of the situation and prevent unrest.

Having made up his mind, Meng Huaifeng pushed open the door of the mechanical house and entered.

"Is there anything the guest needs me to fix?" a slightly husky, mature female voice asked.

Meng Huaifeng looked at the counter, where a beautiful, mature woman with brown hair and a few purple highlights was fiddling with a mechanical musical instrument, watching them casually.

"Hello, Xiluwa. My name is Meng Huaifeng, and this is my companion Xing. We're not here to repair anything," Meng Huaifeng introduced himself politely.

“Oh, you know my name? You’re not a repairman, so you’re my fans? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before. With such striking looks, I would definitely remember you if I had.” Hiluva placed her instrument on the counter, her expression becoming serious.

"Could we find a quiet place to discuss this in detail?" Meng Huaifeng asked solemnly.

"What important thing requires a secluded place? What, are you planning to confess your feelings to your sister?" Hiluva teased.

"Star Core," Meng Huaifeng said bluntly.

Hiluva's expression instantly turned serious. She came out from behind the counter, locked the door, drew a thick curtain, and led the two into a cubicle.

"Tell me, where did you learn about this?" Shiluwa's eyes were sharp, and an electric guitar was right next to her.

"Before we explain, let us first introduce our origins," Meng Huaifeng said.

"You come from underground?" Hiluva raised an eyebrow.

“No, we come from beyond the heavens. We are nameless passengers on the Star Train. Our path has been blocked here. According to our investigation, it was caused by a star core, which is also very likely the culprit behind the cold wave and rift on your planet. Our purpose here is to find it and seal it away,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"Wait, there's a lot of information here. Please explain in detail, such as the Star Train and the Nameless Passenger." Countless pieces of information in Hiluva's mind corroborated the bits of information revealed in Meng Huaifeng's words. However, there were some things that she, who had been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, truly could not understand and had no concept of, and needed explanation.

Meng Huaifeng explained to Hilva in detail the origins of the Star Train and the great achievements of some of the nameless passengers. "So, you're heroes who travel the universe doing good deeds without expecting anything in return?" Compared to the extremely suspicious Cocolia, the free-spirited Hilva was more willing to believe that such a group of people really existed in the world.

Meng Huaifeng and Xing nodded together.

“Words are meaningless. If you want me to believe you, produce evidence. How do I know if this is a lie you’ve made up?” Hiluva said in a deep voice, her heart pounding. If what they said was true, then Beloborg might have a chance to defeat the cold wave.

Even if the chance is small, the people of Belleburg, who have never seen any hope, are willing to give their all to fight for a glimmer of a bright future!

Instead of being gradually eroded by the rift and buried by the cold wave in despair.

"Xing, give her your phone," Meng Huaifeng said to Xing.

"Why isn't it yours? Is there some secret on your phone?" Xing gossiped, taking out his phone and handing it to Xiluwa.

"What cell phone do I have? I only have a martial spirit." Meng Huaifeng rolled his eyes at Xing and said to Xiluwa, "I heard you used to be a technician, so I believe you should know very well that with the technology you have now, you simply cannot manufacture this kind of cell phone. You can go online and look for news in the universe, look for information about nameless guests, star cores, etc. I believe these should prove that what I said is true."

I don't know if the original phone will be affected by the Star Core in Yalilo VI and unable to connect to the Thousand Star Network, but the phone blessed by Meng Huaifeng's mark can connect.

"Oh, right, I forgot." Xing scratched her head.

Hilwa first examined the phone's appearance, then opened it to check its specifications, and based on her experience, determined that the technology contained in this phone was beyond Belloberg's capabilities.

Then she started searching online for all the questions she had accumulated during her time as a researcher, and surprisingly, she was able to find answers to them all!
If Belloberg and Shiloh dare to claim that their technological level is second, then no one dares to claim first.

Being able to answer one's own questions and feeling that one is right is something that no one from Belleburg could do.

Instead of returning the phone, Hilva started searching for information about the Star Core and the Nameless Guest again.

Meng Huaifeng was not in a hurry and quietly waited for Xiluwa to finish confirming.

Bored after his phone was confiscated, Xing picked up a broken device from the corner and started fiddling with it.

After a long while, Hiluva finally let out a long sigh and put down her phone.

“I believe you. Come with me. I’ll take you to see Cocolia. If anyone is most likely to know where the Star Core is, it’s her. I will do everything in my power to persuade her.” Hilva stood up, opened the door, and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Meng Huaifeng grabbed her arm. "If we wanted to see your Great Guardian, we would have revealed our identities long ago."

“What, you’re worried she won’t believe you? Don’t worry, she won’t. The situation in Belloberg is getting worse, and we will hold on to any glimmer of hope.” Silva never doubted the faith and unity of the people of Belloberg.

“No, we suspect that she has already colluded with the Star Core.” Meng Huaifeng said solemnly, “If you had looked closely enough just now, you would have known that some Star Cores possess the power to bewitch people, especially the Star Cores on your planet, which can also create rift creatures like the Shadow of Memory.”

"Impossible!" Hilva's expression changed drastically: "She is the Great Guardian of Beloborg, a loyal follower of the Amber King, whose belief is to protect Beloborg. How could she possibly betray Beloborg and collude with the Star Core, the source of this calamity!"
