Damn it, something's wrong with the gacha I got.

Now that I've entered Luofu, I have a legal status and no longer need to worry about restrictions.

"By the way, Uncle Yang, how do we find Kafka?"

Xing turned his head and asked.

The blind general just told them to capture Kafka, but didn't tell them how to do it.

And they don't even know where Kafka is?

"In that case, perhaps we can ask Miss Tingyun about it."

Walter thought for a moment and then said.

Ultimately, we still need guidance from Tingyun to proceed with the next step.

However, Chen Bai had a different opinion.

“Uncle Yang, I think we can wander around the Fairy Boat. Maybe Kafka will come to our door in person.”

Why would you say that?

Walter was slightly taken aback.

"Well... I always felt that the Star Core Hunters wanted to use General Jingyuan to get us to find her and achieve some other goal. But General Jingyuan might not know Kafka's purpose, so he had us try to track her. Based on my experience of watching over a thousand movies and TV shows, it feels like a familiar trope."

Chen Bai responded, pinching his chin.

After all, Jingyuan and Lao Yang had just been playing tai chi for a while, so even if he was stupid, he would have seen some clues.

"Oh, I know that, it's about using someone else to do the dirty work, right?"

Upon hearing this, March 7th interjected.

Chen Bai: "..."

Xing patted her shoulder helplessly: "March, that's called 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha'."

"Oh, oh." March 7th's eyes shone with a clear innocence.

"You could say it's like borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha. In any case, I feel that the Star Core Hunters don't have any ill intentions towards us. Otherwise, they would have sent people to take action directly long ago. Why go through all that trouble?"

Chen Bai changed his tone.

Chapter 53 March 7: Why are you wearing Ah Xing's clothes?

As the four were talking, their benefactor sister—cough cough, no, I mean Tingyun—appeared before them, smiling and saying:

"My benefactors, Lord Yu Kong has already informed me. Please follow us, and I will arrange accommodations for you."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Miss Tingyun."

So the group arrived at a quaint courtyard, which was the temporary accommodation that Luo Fu had arranged for the four members of the train crew.

"My benefactors, this is the accommodation that Lord Yu Kong has prepared for you. Please rest first. Tomorrow I will tell you the next steps and accompany you in tracking the Star Core Hunter."

After Tingyun finished speaking, she swayed her hips and left the courtyard.

"The atmosphere just now was too serious. Both Yu Kong and General Jing Yuan seemed very difficult to deal with. If Ah Bai hadn't been prepared, we probably wouldn't have been able to get out so easily."

March 7 muttered to himself, patting his chest exaggeratedly.

Walter Yang replied in a deep voice, "Yes, that Shence General is indeed not simple. If it weren't for the recording prepared by Xiaobai, we might have been led by the nose by him."

Xing sat on the stone bench, took a sip of tea, and interjected, "Never mind, we'll get a reward anyway. If Ah Bai's prediction is correct, even if we just sit here, Kafka will come to us and be captured."

Chen Bai sat down and said, "But we can't just stay here like this forever. We should at least make a good impression and wander around as if we're visiting Luofu. Maybe Kafka will find us sooner and we can complete our mission faster."

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered a blond cameraman in the neighboring Teyvat continent who would be attracted by NPCs with blue exclamation marks above their heads and complete all sorts of random tasks.

As for the game set in Teyvat, he had naturally played it extensively and was quite familiar with the characters. Compared to turn-based games like StarCraft, Chen Bai preferred open-world adventure games.

We've gotten a bit off-topic, but anyway, he doesn't want to be a traveler drawn in by the blue exclamation mark.

Why choose a roundabout way when you can easily complete the task?

"Xiaobai is right. In that case, let's rest for the night and then go out for a stroll around Luofu tomorrow. We should also keep an eye out for Kafka's whereabouts."

Walter nodded and replied.

So, after checking into their respective rooms, they began to rest.

Chen Bai sat cross-legged on his bed and took out the [Parallel World Summoner] he had recently drawn.

This caller looks a bit like a pager, but it only has one red button.

"I wonder what kind of person it can summon?"

He was somewhat eager to try.

Okay, let's do it!

Chen Bai pressed the conspicuous red button without hesitation.

The next second, the void in the entire room began to distort, followed by a white light effect.

A figure suddenly appeared in Chen Bai's room.

This is a young man with gray hair and amber eyes.

With bright highlights at the ends of her hair, she wore a black short jacket and cargo pants, and the bright yellow stripes on her clothes and gloves showed off her vitality.

Chen Bai's eyes widened; this was practically a male version of Ah Xing!

and many more!

He seemed to remember something.

I think I saw a poster for the Star Train game when I was shopping before, and the male protagonist in it looked like this.

Could it be that the Qiong from a parallel world was summoned here?

"Who are you? How did I get here?"

Qiong looked confused and asked Chen Bai in front of her.

He remembered that he was in the Pinocchio Hotel, so how did he end up here in the blink of an eye?

From the environment, it does resemble the style of the fairy boat Luofu.

"Hello, I am Chen Bai, an unnamed passenger on the Starry Sky Train, but I possess a wondrous artifact capable of summoning parallel worlds..."

Chen Bai briefly explained the situation.

The male raccoon nodded slightly and tilted his head: "So that's how it is. I didn't expect there to be such a strange object. But wouldn't I be able to see 'me' in this world?"

Little Gray's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Uh~ In this world, you are a girl."

"It's okay, it will definitely be beautiful anyway."

Chen Bai: "..."

Yes! When she's quiet, she's a quiet and beautiful girl.

But when you abstract it, it's a bit like that.

A phrase came to mind to describe Xing: still as a virgin, swift as a mad rabbit.

"But can I still go back?"

Qiong then asked.

Although he was very interested in meeting his companions from this world, such as March 7th, he also had his own companions in another world. He couldn't just stay here all the time, could he?

In that case, Himeko and the others will be very worried.

Chen Bai understood Qiong Bao's worries and comforted her, "Don't worry, you can stay in this world for a maximum of 30 days. When the time is up, you will automatically return to your original world."

"That's good~" Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, but then he seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, you've just arrived in Luofu, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong? We just left Yalilo VI and only arrived in Luofu today."

Chen Bai lowered his chin slightly and replied.

"Then you must be careful. When we arrived at Luofu, there was a Lord of Annihilation lurking among you, trying to stir up trouble among the immortal ships!"

Qiong's expression hardened, and she solemnly reminded him.

"Huh? The Great Lord of Extinction? Who is that?"

Chen Bai's expression changed slightly.

He had naturally heard Dan Heng mention the Great Lord of Annihilation before; they were some of the henchmen of the Star God Nanuk, also known as the Commanders.

The messengers of [Destruction] are also known as the Great Lords of Annihilation by the people of the world. These Great Lords are no ordinary beings.

They followed Nanook, embarking on a path of destruction, and have annihilated countless planets and civilizations.

"It was an illusion. Although it was an avatar, this evil thing wanted to secretly infiltrate the Jianmu tree in Luofu and achieve the goal of being immortal and indestructible. Moreover, it colluded with the traitor within the Dan Ding Si on Luofu. In the end, we still defeated it."

At this point, Qiong's tone seemed to become somewhat smug.

"Well, what do you mean by lurking among us?" Chen Bai pressed.

Qiong: "It's Miss Tingyun next to you. She's actually Huanlong in disguise."

Chen Bai: "Then the real Miss Tingyun isn't...?"

He didn't say the taboo word that followed.

Qiong spread his hands, "I don't know about that. Perhaps the real Miss Tingyun is still alive."

"Okay, can you tell me about what happened to you in Luofu?"

Chen Bai nodded slightly.

"Sure, I'll tell you..."

So, Qiong naturally lay down next to Chen Bai on the bed and gave him a spoiler about what had happened in Luofu.

After chatting about all this, Qiong was a little sleepy, so she simply fell asleep on Chen Bai's big bed.

Chen Bai was also helpless; after processing so much information, he needed to rest properly.

Turn off the lights and go to sleep!

The next day, March 7th, they arrived at Chen Bai's room to wake him up.

But just then, a strange little gray-haired boy suddenly opened the door, looking sleepy.

March 7th was completely bewildered and immediately asked, "Who are you? How did you get out of Ah Bai's room? And why are you wearing Ah Xing's clothes?"

Chapter 54 The First Meeting of Two Star Core Essences

"Oh, it's March~"

Qiong rubbed her sleepy eyes and let out a long, lazy yawn, as if she hadn't fully woken up from a good dream.

There was an inexplicable familiarity in his tone, as if he were greeting an old friend he saw every day.

"You know me?" March 7's confusion was written all over her face. She leaned forward slightly and carefully examined the stranger in front of her who looked very similar to Xing in appearance and temperament.

"Wait! Don't try to get close to me yet. You haven't told me who you are. How did you suddenly appear in Ah Bai's room?"

"Ah, right..." Qiong seemed to just realize, raising her hand to gently pat her forehead, revealing an apologetic and slightly confused smile, "I almost forgot, this is not my original world, sorry, sorry, my name is Qiong, I am an unknown guest, nice to meet you."

"What do you mean by 'not your world'?" March 7th was getting more and more confused, and unconsciously put her hands on her hips. "What exactly do you mean by that? I haven't seen you on the train."

Just as their conversation reached an impasse, Chen Bai came out of the room.

"What's wrong? It's a bit noisy outside." Chen Bai, still slightly drowsy from being woken up, came out of the room.

He had just vaguely heard the sound of March 7th in his sleep, so he got up to check.

At that moment, his gaze swept over Qiong at the doorway and March 7, who looked puzzled, and he immediately understood most of the situation.

"Ah Bai, you've come at the perfect time!" March 7th seemed to have seen a savior, immediately turning around and pointing directly at the composed Qiong beside him, saying:

"Where did you kidnap this guy who calls himself Qiong? He looks exactly like Xing! Could it be... Xing's brother who has never mentioned him, or his long-lost brother or something?"
