Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Maybe he really is using the restroom?"

"But he wasn't holding any paper in his hand!"

Yan pointed at Walter and said indignantly:

"Who goes to the toilet without toilet paper these days?!"

March 7th frowned:

"It's obvious you're ignorant. Uncle Yang is so experienced, what's wrong with not using paper? I've heard that some people use their hands."

Walter: "..."

"I don't believe it. If you're so capable, ask him to demonstrate it for me."

"Come just come, who is afraid of whom?"

On March 7th, hands on hips, he said to Walter in a deep voice:

"Uncle Yang, give Yan a chance to show off!"

"..."

The dimly lit room remained silent for a long time.

Walter, who was crouching in the corner, exhaled a breath of stale air and said wearily:

"Yan Huan, I will never eat anything you offer me again."

"?"

"When you were captain, you liked to sway the Hyperion back and forth, making the Valkyrie look like a monster. Now you're here to torment me."

"Alliance Leader, we should be reasonable in all things. Do you think I'm that kind of person who's being petty?"

Walter slowly stood up, pointed to the projector over there, and said in a deep voice:

"You recorded it yourself, fine, but why did you show it to me..."

"?"

Yan stared blankly at the projector on the bed, and asked in confusion:

"I didn't put it there! I didn't put it there!"

He turned and pointed to the camera outside the door, arguing forcefully:

"I intended to record this and then show it to everyone on the train. How could I let you, the leader, enjoy it ahead of time?!"

March 7th said speechlessly:

"If it wasn't you, who else could have put it there? Someone on the Immortal Ship would have the guts to...go out of their way to Uncle Yang's room and put this there for him?!"

"It really wasn't me."

"Oh right!" March 7th suddenly remembered something and exclaimed excitedly.

"You yourself said before that you wanted to show this to Uncle Yang!"

"I did say that... but..."

"You don't need to explain."

"Damn, it really wasn't me!"

The three of them walked out of the room, making a ruckus.

……

After they disappeared, the room returned to silence.

There was a long silence...

An orange-red mask slowly appeared in the darkness.

……

……

"Ha ha ha ha……!"

Chapter 228 I'm afraid he'll steal things

We arrived at the port.

A beautiful fox-girl is gazing into the distance; the three can only see her back.

After Walter approached with Yan Huan and March 7th, Tingyun heard footsteps behind her, turned around, and smiled faintly:

"Sigh~ Lord Yu Kong has assigned me the task of receiving everyone again. It seems that I have quite a connection with my benefactors."

Yan scrutinized Tingyun's appearance and asked suspiciously:

Is it possible that you're someone with connections?

"how do I say this?"

"Yu Kong is a fox, and you're a fox too, so you have a powerful backer, and you're always given rare jobs?!"

"Haha...that makes some sense. But my professional skills aren't bad either."

Walter adjusted his glasses and stated his goal for the trip with unwavering certainty:

"Since General Jingyuan has entrusted us with the task of finding the Star Core Hunter, there must already be some clues."

Tingyun smiled and nodded:

"My benefactor is astute. Those suspects were extremely cunning, and their communications were timed perfectly, making accurate location impossible. However, the Taipusi (official in charge of divination) still managed to find a clue."

She snapped her fingers lightly, and Kafka's projection reappeared beside her.

Then they began to replicate their dialogue on the Star Train.

Kafka Projection:

The coordinates are here; the rest is up to you.

Though their goals are vastly different, the orbits of the stars will eventually intersect. Goodbye.

This familiar scene reminded Yan of Leonard on the space station.

That guy chased after the Silver Wolf's projection before, but in the end he was tricked too.

Now they're chasing after Kafka's projection again...

"Wait, absolutely not! I suspect this thing is a trap!" Yan shouted excitedly.

"Oh? Why do you say that, my benefactor?" Three question marks appeared above Tingyun's head.

Before even starting to point out any clues, it's already been judged as a trap?

"Ahem." Yan coughed lightly twice:

"The Star Core Hunters were able to infiltrate your Jade Realm Sect without anyone noticing, yet the images they left behind were so easily captured as clues?!"

"If there is one! That means they deliberately left it behind! Any clues found in this projection could be a trap!"

Upon hearing this, both March 7th and Walter felt that there was some truth to it.

If Star Core Hunters were really that easy to catch, wouldn't anyone be tempted by the high bounty offered by Interstellar Peace Corporation?

Since they are still at large, it means that their anti-tracking technology is extremely strong, and it is not so easy to find a flaw in it!

"Hehe, my benefactor, aren't you overestimating those suspects?"

"This is not a question of whether it is overestimated or not."

"How to say?"

"Everyone else is five-star, while you and Yu Kong are only four-star..."

"roll."

"..."

"In any case, let's first take a look at the clues we've found." Tingyun looked at the Kafka projection beside him and smiled.

"As you all probably heard just now, behind the suspect's voice was the sound of some kind of device operating."

March 7th scratched his head, somewhat not understanding:

"What kind of clue is this? The Immortal Ship is a starship, full of mechanical devices. I've been hearing strange noises ever since I arrived here."

“Miss March, to most people, this kind of noise may be indistinguishable. But to the Industrial Construction Department, which is responsible for maintaining the facilities, the operation of each mechanical device... is like the melody of a piece of music, with different highs and lows.”

Tingyun continued to explain to the three of them:

"The general summoned the craftsmen, and after comparing and listening, they discovered that Kafka's background noise came from the shipbuilding facilities at Huixing Port."

"So detailed, could the craftsman in your workshop be a spy?!" Yan raised another question.

"..."

Faced with Yan Huan and March 7's repeated interruptions, Tingyun said with a forced smile:

"In short, this is the only clue. If any of the three of you have other clues, feel free to share them."

The two newborns fell silent for a long time.

Finally, Walter spoke, his tone calm:

"Miss Tingyun, let's make some preparations for tracking down Kafka."

"Oh? Mr. Walter has agreed to go to Starport?"

"Well, there aren't any other clues right now."

Although Walter also felt that this was most likely a trap, even if it wasn't, the probability of Kafka still staying in Starport was slim.

But there were no other clues.

"Alright, if you benefactors are ready, just come here to find me."

Walter nodded and left Tingyun's side with Yan Huan and March 7th.
