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

March 7th looked Qiong up and down, as if she had seen through the truth.

"March, you really have a vivid imagination. Actually, it's like this, like this, like this..."

At this moment, Chen Bai also regained some of his senses and explained Qiong's identity in detail.

"Stop, stop, stop!" March 7th interrupted hastily, his eyes wide. "You mean, this guy is really a star from a parallel universe, and a male version at that?"

Chen Bai nodded, his tone calm: "That's right, I used a strange artifact that can summon visitors from parallel universes."

"But where did you get so many strange things?" March 7th tilted his head, his face almost written with doubt.

She clearly remembered that Chen Bai had not shown many strange items before, so how come another one has suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

"Well..." Chen Bai paused slightly, as if searching for a suitable explanation, before speaking in a calm tone:

"Actually, it's a special ability of mine. Every now and then, I can acquire new rare items... Just think of it as a kind of illogical setting, like the protagonist in a novel."

After all, he couldn't just say that there was an invisible gashapon machine next to him, could he?

That explanation only makes it harder for people to believe.

"Oh—!" March 7th drawled, a look of sudden realization spreading across his face. "No wonder! I was wondering how you could pull out other strange objects one after another after using that abstract watermelon knife... So that's how it is!"

"What are you all arguing about? I'm still sleeping..."

Just then, Xing rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, but stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking.

Her gaze passed over March 7th and landed directly on Qiong's face. After studying it for a moment, she tilted her head in confusion after a brief pause:

"You are... my long-lost brother?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bai's lips twitched slightly, and he immediately began to explain, "That's not how it is, it's actually all my fault..."

He had no choice but to briefly explain Qiong's origins once again.

Xing's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately became interested. He walked directly to Qiong, stretched out his hands, and gently lifted Qiong's chin to examine him from left to right.

The way he examined it so carefully was as if he were evaluating a brand-new, novel product.

"He's quite good-looking~" Xingyang smiled, her tone carrying a hint of judgmental satisfaction.

"You're just as good-looking, very pretty," Qiong replied with a slight smile.

"Of course!" The two said almost in unison, then simultaneously put their hands on their hips, raised their chins, and showed identical smiles with a hint of pride.

Chen Bai: "..."

March 7th: "..."

As expected of you, even your self-assured confidence and speaking rhythm are exactly the same.

"Alright, hurry up and wash up, let's have breakfast first."

Chen Bai interrupted.

"Okay, you two hurry up and wash up. Uncle Yang told me to wake you up... If he sees Qiong, he might be shocked."

March 7th began to speak.

"See you later, little sister."

"See you later! My dear brother."

"..."

So the three of them went back to their rooms to wash up, tidy their clothes and makeup, and then left the room.

At this moment, in the courtyard, our Herrscher of Reason, Mr. Yang Chaoyue, is sitting at a table.

He sipped his tea while browsing the latest news and information about Luofu on his mobile phone.

Just then, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around, about to speak, but froze. "March, you guys...?"

(。_。)

Walter's gaze was fixed directly on Qiong.

Why does this person look so familiar?

Its gray hair is exactly the same color as Xing's, and its clothes...

But that's not the point. If this young man had white hair, he would look exactly like that man!

Walter seemed to recall unpleasant memories and quickly stopped playing the VCR in his mind.

He coughed lightly, turned to March 7th, and asked in a gentle yet as serious tone, "March, who is this...?"

“Let me explain, Uncle Yang,” Chen Bai stepped forward and took over the conversation.

"His name is Qiong. I summoned him last night using a special artifact. That artifact can summon people from parallel worlds. Simply put, he is Xing from another world, only his gender is different..."

Walter listened quietly, his fingertips tapping the table unconsciously.

He gently rubbed his temples with one hand to process this sudden information.

Seeing a face that resembled Kaslana so early in the morning seemed to turn my initially good mood into something unpleasant.

But thankfully, it wasn't really that man.

After a brief silence, Walter spoke again: "So, according to you, Sora will stay here for a while before returning to her original world?"

“That’s right.” Chen Bai nodded in response.

"It seems I need to explain the situation to General Jingyuan, otherwise it wouldn't be appropriate."

Walter pushed up his glasses.

After all, with Luofu's surveillance system, the sudden appearance of a new face on their train would be noticed within half a day.

It's better to communicate proactively than to be questioned afterward.

Otherwise, their subsequent actions in Luofu will inevitably face unnecessary scrutiny and even restrictions.

As he spoke, Walter suddenly turned to Chen Bai, his expression turning serious, and continued, "Also, Xiao Bai, you must keep the abilities of this strange object a secret for now, and do not reveal it to any more people."

After all, there are still many extremists in the world.

If they knew that Chen Bai had such a peculiar ability, it would likely cause even greater trouble.

Such a monstrous creature might want to use it to invade other civilizations.

Some members of genius clubs who pursue forbidden knowledge may see it as a tool to break the laws of time and space.

Memoriam thieves or incinerators with an excessive pursuit of memory might use these artifacts to satisfy their personal desires.

Even the top executives of Star Peace Corporation might not be immune to the idea of ​​maximizing resource utilization.

There are just too many people in this world whose lives are filled with hardship.

Therefore, Walter had to be on guard.

"I understand, Uncle Yang." Chen Bai understood Old Yang's worries.

Because this universe is not calm and peaceful.

"Alright, let's have breakfast first. I'll send a message to General Jingyuan and briefly explain the situation."

Walter gently set his teacup aside, picked up his phone again, and slowly scrolled through his contact list.

Following yesterday's meeting with Jing Yuan, the two sides exchanged contact information as a courtesy.

After all, they still needed to update Jingyuan on the progress of their mission to capture Kafka.

Soon, Walter received a reply from General Jingyuan.

[Jing Yuan: It's alright. Since he's an unknown guest from a parallel world, Luo Fu will naturally do his best to be hospitable. That stranger named Qiong has no restrictions on his movements.]

[Walter Yang: General Tongda, on behalf of the train crew, express my gratitude.]

Chapter 55 Fu Xuan: Then you should abdicate sooner rather than later.

Inside the Shence Mansion

Jing Yuan slowly put down his phone, his eyes flickered slightly, a look of surprise quietly rising, which then turned into a playful smile.

"An unknown guest from the ordinary world, yet also a surprise weapon~"

He didn't want to get up so early for work, but Luo Fu has been very busy lately, especially with the impact of the star core explosion, so this unfortunate general had no choice but to come early.

Unexpectedly, just after finishing breakfast and sitting on his general's throne, he saw a message from Walter.

An unnamed guest from a parallel world is summoned.

This surprised him quite a bit, especially since the nameless guest named Chen Bai, whom Walter had mentioned, actually possessed such a magical object.

The Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor's Bow were naturally aware of this extraordinary artifact.

Such magical items imbued with the power of destiny are not uncommon in the universe. Some were created casually by star gods, while others were born unexpectedly by certain geniuses or destiny travelers.

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a strange object that could summon people from parallel worlds.

However, now that we've summoned a counterpart from the nameless guest, they can help resolve the upcoming predicament in Luofu. More people mean more strength, right?

"General!"

Just as Jing Yuan was tapping his fingertips on the table in thought, a short, pink figure rushed in.

The newcomer had unusual eyes, a divine eye on his forehead that shone with spiritual light, and wore a deep purple robe with gold cloud-patterned shoulder straps hanging down. A star-patterned compass hung at his waist, and star patterns were faintly visible as his skirt swayed.

“It’s Fu Qing~ What’s wrong?” Jing Yuan came back to his senses and asked Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan is the current head of the Grand Diviner's Office, overseeing all affairs of the office, and a highly capable subordinate.

But his beloved Fu Qing was waiting for him to abdicate and make way for a more worthy successor, but now was not the right time.

As the General of Luofu, he had no choice but to become a fisherman, using his position to hone Fu Xuan's skills.

“I know everything. An unnamed guest from a parallel world has also descended upon this world. What are your next moves?”

Fu Xuan was very puzzled.

"Did you deduce this using the Qiong Guan Formation?" Jing Yuan asked with a smile.

"Of course, and didn't you already accept my suggestion yesterday? And why did you deliberately let the Star Core Hunter escape and then let the Nameless Guest capture him?"

After the Starry Sky Train crew met with Jing Yuan yesterday, Fu Xuan discussed the matter with Jing Yuan.

But she couldn't figure out what this lazy general was thinking.

“Hehe, Fu Qing, Luofu is currently in a turbulent period. The star core explosion is just the surface. The Medicine King's secrets are stirring. There must be a big fish behind them. The nameless guests are the best bait now. I need to bring this big fish to the surface.”

Jing Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "As for the Star Core Hunters... I haven't figured out their specific intentions yet, but they're probably not just here for the Luofu Star Core, but more like for the Starry Sky Train."

He stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, finding this one point somewhat perplexing.

Not long ago, Kafka secretly contacted him, saying that a star core had entered Luofu and would explode, and also informed him that the Star Train would soon arrive in Luofu.

Jing Yuan also took this opportunity to fish out the rebel leaders of the Fengrao people inside Luofu. However, the Fengrao people alone may not be enough, and there may be other forces besides the Fengrao people involved.

"You really intend to let that nameless traveler from a parallel world travel freely in Luofu?"

Fu Xuan crossed his arms and avoided the topic.

"Yes, of course. Since he's an unknown guest from a parallel world, he's still an unknown guest, so Luo Fu should naturally do his duty as a host."

Jingyuan responded.

Fu Xuan snorted upon hearing this: "I think you're using him as another surprise weapon, aren't you?"

How could she not guess Jingyuan's thoughts?

"Haha~ Fu Qing understands me well. Since someone else is doing it for me, I have fewer worries. I can also sort out the current situation in Luofu. However, whether it's the Star Core Hunters or others, they are all a headache."

As Jing Yuan spoke, he stood up and stretched.

Fu Xuan then put his hands on his hips and said, "Hmph! Then you should step down sooner rather than later!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan smiled slightly: "It's not the right time yet. If anything changes, I will have to bear the responsibility as a general. I can't just leave now and put Fu Qing in an unjust position."

Fu Xuan curled his lip in disdain and said, "You're so glib. You said the same thing yesterday. Fine, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Anyway, I'll emphasize it again: at the next 'Six Emperors' Council,' you must remember to recommend me to succeed as the next General of Luofu."

"Good good."

"Then it's settled."
