Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Did you really think I was just chatting with you before?

"Now, all your reliance is mine."

"...Tsk."

Seeing this, Sand Gold quickly looked at his handbag.

He rummaged through it and found only shackles, buttons, and his mother's necklace.

"..."

The virtual gold dust obtained all of the real gold dust's equipment, and its smile widened even further:

"If your first stop isn't the theater, you might still have a chance to win."

"...But there are no 'what ifs' in this world."

Chapter 702 Taking a bath in someone else's ultimate attack?

Golden moment.

Next to the street.

"Yan, what are you looking at?"

On March 7th, sitting on a bench, he became curious about Yan Huan, who was fiddling with her phone.

Yan Huan patted her phone screen and said disdainfully:

"What's going on? I can't get into the live stream. Is Pinocchio's internet connection that bad?"

"Not that much."

March 7th also took out his phone and casually clicked into a live stream called [Belloburg Customs], and said:

"I'm fine."

"Was it your streamer who got banned?"

"..."

Yan Huan stared at the black screen on her phone, lost in thought.

"I have a bad feeling."

"I didn't check for a while, so I don't know where the gold went."

Beside them, Himeko was negotiating with Welt and Yomi, who had returned.

"This must be Miss Huang Quan, right?"

Himeko smiled and said:

"Hello, I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train."

"Hello." Huang Quan glanced at Ji Zi, then looked at Yan Huan and San Yueqi sitting on the bench.

"You all seem unsurprised by my appearance."

Himeko smiled faintly:

“Since Walter has also decided to travel with you, it means he trusts you, and we trust his judgment as well.”

Huang Quan nodded:

"Your relationship is truly enviable."

Walter said in a deep voice:

“Miss Huang Quan is not a dangerous individual and has no hostility toward the Starry Sky Train. Sand Gold’s previous accusations were only one side of the story.”

"Therefore, he is obliged to provide a reasonable explanation before continuing our cooperation."

Himeko looked up:

"You want to... create a situation where all three parties are present?"

Walter nodded:

"There must be a deeper logic behind the behavior of gold mining."

“I suspect he was aware of Pinocchio’s secret from the beginning and was constantly working to uncover it.”

"Therefore, the position of the Star Train in his plan is of paramount importance."

"In the worst-case scenario... he might use us to do something outrageous."

"If things really develop to that point, having an extra ally is an extra layer of security."

“Pinocone is surrounded by hills, and the situation is far more complicated than in Belleburg and Xianzhou.”

"I don't think he has a chance," March 7th muttered to Walter, shrugging slightly.

“Just before you returned, Sand Gold had already lost contact.”

"His last coordinates were above the Pinocchio Theatre."

"The Grand Theatre?" Walter looked up in confusion, glanced at the building in the distance, and asked, puzzled:

"I remember that place was off-limits."

"It looks like he drove up there," March 7th said helplessly.

"It looks like he's been sanctioned now. To find his whereabouts, we might have to ask Sunday."

“…The head of the Oak family, huh?” Walter lowered his head and recalled:

"It seems that this matter was mentioned during our conversation."

"It seems he has indeed made his move on the gold nuggets."

"The company and the family have never gotten along, so we shouldn't meddle in this matter."

Yan Huan said with a sorrowful expression:

"Leader, this is no longer a matter of company versus family."

"He still had my equipment with him, but now it's all gone."

"..." Walter sniffed and frowned:

"You gave him the Divine Key itself?"

"No," Yan Huan said, spreading her hands.

"It has about two-fifths of its power... but if it's not taken back, it will take me a long time to recover. It's like a missing part that needs to be regenerated."

"Honestly, that theater has a lot of problems too."

“Generally speaking, even if he encountered the messenger, he wouldn’t be without a chance to escape.”

"But now the connection is down."

Walter asked in confusion:

"You mean, he was attacked?"

"No." Yan Huan shrugged.

"What I mean is, he might have been taking a shower while standing in the midst of something's ultimate attack."

"Moreover, that thing is at least at the level of an envoy."

"Taking a bath while standing in someone else's ultimate attack?" March 7th's eyes widened:

Would a normal person do that?

How long has he been missing?

Yan Huan counted on her fingers and muttered:

"I estimate that he caught the virus around the time we left the bar."

Huang Quan listened to their discussion and spoke up:

"There is indeed an eerie atmosphere in the direction of the Pinocchio Grand Theatre."

"If my intuition is correct, once an intruder steps into that place, it's as if they are being continuously attacked by some kind of force."

The group fell into deep thought regarding the attack on the gold mine.

This is a personal feud between the company and the family, and the train crew should have remained neutral, but the problem is...

Gold dust doesn't seem to have done much either.

If a convincing reason cannot be given on Sunday, it is tantamount to publicly executing the company envoy, which is equivalent to not pretending at all.

By doing so, the company also has a reason to send a fleet to directly carry out armed suppression against Pinocchio.

"What's the point of Sunday?" March 7th asked, eyes wide.

"What benefits would this bring to the family?"

"It can't be... that Miss Robin was really assassinated by Sand Gold, and that Sunday was avenging her, can it?"

Yan Huan said calmly:

"...Maybe Sand Gold isn't dead yet."

“Even if the family wants to take action against him, they need to find a plausible reason, otherwise how can they explain it to the other factions?”

"If we can't uphold the greater good, there are plenty of righteous people among the guests at Pinocchio."

Himeko nodded slightly:

"To unravel the mystery of [the watchmaker], we will inevitably need the information the company possesses."

"Even if there are dangers lurking ahead... we must face them head-on to [pioneering], right?"

"In any case, we must at least confirm the current status of placer gold."

The group, including Huang Quan, discussed the matter and eventually reached a consensus.

First, we need to find placer gold.
