Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

Himeko's message arrived on the morning of the fifth day.

Because she hadn't been back on the train for a long time, Himeko couldn't help but worry.

Qi Ye looked at the messages sent in the chat group.

The pioneering mission of Yalilo-VI was successfully completed.

The train is about to depart for the next station. Please return to the train as soon as possible to report for duty.

He stared at the message for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

We can finally leave.

Xing, who had returned to her original form, stood beside him and sighed:

"Finally, we don't have to listen to Uncle Yang sing those corny war songs anymore."

……

When it was time to say goodbye, Bronya and Seele came to see them off.

The gates of Belleburg were open.

Bronya held Qiye's hand:

"Uncle Qiye, thanks to you all, Belloberg wouldn't be where he is today."

Seele remained silent for a moment, then spoke, her voice softer than usual:

"Dad, be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, didn't I buy you a phone?"

If you miss me, just give me a video call. Don't keep it bottled up all day long.

I still remember the way you used to squat silently in the garbage dump when you were little.

He still has this problem now that he's older.

Seele's lips twitched at his words, but her eyes were still red.

She nodded vigorously:

I will.

Remember to answer the phone, don't leave me hanging.

"That's impossible. Your call takes priority, the light cone is secondary."

Qi Ye patted her shoulder, his tone unusually serious.

"You are now the leader of the Earth Fire, and hundreds of people in the lower district depend on you for their livelihood."

Dad can't be of much help, but if you're ever unsure about anything, feel free to ask me.

Don't carry this alone. You have Duck, Natasha, Swallow, and me!

Xing raised his hand to add:

"And me too, I'm your aunt!"

Seele chooses to ignore the stars:

"I remember, Dad, you also need to remember to find me a mom next time you come back."

The women on the train all seemed quite nice to me.

You should pay more attention, Dad.

Don't make me, your daughter, worry about you.

Qi Ye's lips twitched.

He glanced at March 7th, who was packing her luggage, and Star, who was sulking and drawing circles again because no one was paying attention to her.

Qi Ye coughed lightly:

"Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."

"You need to improve the economy of the lower-level areas first, then we can discuss this topic."

"My finances are doing very well!"

You ask Duck! I personally sign off on all the supplies allocation between the upper and lower levels now!

Seele retorted, hands on her hips, then secretly took half a step forward and added in a low voice, "..."

"Actually, I think Sister March 7th is pretty good, she's really not a planet... Why did you flick my forehead!"

"Because you should play it."

Qi Ye withdrew her hand, her expression calm.

"I'm gone."

Dan Heng's voice was as concise and to the point as ever.

He had been waiting for quite a while before finally speaking up to urge them on.

Qiye stood up, waved to everyone one last time, and then turned and followed.

March 7th was beside him, glancing at his relaxed expression:

"You're not sad at all, but Seele's eyes are all red."

"Who says I'm not sad?"

Qiye said

"I picked her up, how could I not be sad?"

But she's grown up and has her own path to follow.

As a father, I can't very well cry at the city gate! That would be too embarrassing.

March 7th stared at him in silence for a long while, then raised the camera, aimed it at his face, and pressed the shutter.

Qi Ye was blinded by the flash and protested, covering her eyes:

"What are you filming for!"

On March 7th, looking down at the photos she had just taken, a smug smile appeared on her lips: "A keepsake."

The title is simply "The Weakness of a Shady Merchant." This picture is worth 50,000 credits; you'll have to pay double if you want to delete it.

After saying that, he grabbed his camera and ran quickly toward the landing module.

……

"Finally back!"

On March 7th, he was the first to step into the train, collapsing onto the sofa and letting out a long sigh of relief.

Pam peeked out from the other end of the corridor and, seeing everyone return unharmed, excitedly rubbed her little hands together several times.

"Pam! You're finally back! Pam has been glued to the communication screen every day, afraid of missing a single message from you!"

Himeko's gaze swept over everyone, and she spoke with a smile:

"Welcome back, Yalilo-VI's pioneering mission was completed beautifully..."

Before she could finish speaking, a burst of wild laughter erupted from deep within the observation car.

Himeko's smile faltered.

Walter strode out of the carriage.

With arms outstretched, the hem of his trench coat swung behind him in a defiant arc:

"Hahahaha! The loyal train has welcomed back its king!"

Himeko's gaze fell back on Welt, looking at the man in front of her with his arms outstretched.

A middle-aged man with an arrogant smile on his lips, exuding an aura of "I am the best in the world".

Question:

"Walter, are you feeling unwell?"

Please call me Yang Chaoyue!

Walter pushed up his glasses, the curve of his lips so exaggerated it looked like he could flip the entire carriage over.

"I feel incredibly good right now, absolutely amazing!"

Do you still have any coffee? Give me a cup!

I used to avoid coffee because I wanted to keep a low profile, but now I don't need to keep a low profile anymore!

"I am the strongest force on the train, what can a mere cup of coffee do to me?"

Himeko remained silent for a while, then gave a gentle smile, turned around and poured herself a cup of coffee from the pot.

Qi Ye noticed the color of the coffee in the cup.

The coffee that knocked everyone out on the train last time was poured from the same pot.

Himeko handed the coffee to Walter.

Walter took the glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp, his movements as graceful as an ancient hero drinking a farewell toast.

Then his smile froze.

That arrogant and overbearing face was still in the position of laughing loudly, but the pupils had already lost focus.

His body fell backward in slow motion, his back hitting the sofa armrest.

It slid down the cushion to the floor with a dull thud.

His eyes were closed, and the arrogant smile still lingered on his lips, but he had completely lost consciousness.

A golden light cone card popped out from his body.

It rolled half a circle on the ground and stopped at Himeko's feet.

The human-shaped pattern with its head held high flickered slightly under the light before going out completely.

The side effects of the light cone were relieved, but at the cost of a cup of coffee.

Himeko bent down to pick up the card, turned it over to look at it, and then looked up, her gaze falling on Suya.

March 7th peeked half her face out from under the sofa cushions, looking at him with a "good luck" expression.

Dan Heng had his back to everyone, but his shoulders were trembling very slightly and very quickly.

Xing covered her eyes, but her open fingers made it seem as if she wasn't covering them at all.

"Nighttime Rest"

Himeko's voice remained gentle, and a smile still lingered on her lips.

But Qiye felt a chill run down his spine from that smiling face.

"Was this light cone the one you sold to Walter?"

"……yes."

Qi Ye swallowed hard.

"So, do you have any explanation for turning Walter into Yang Chaoyue?"

I have time to listen now.

[Please give me a free gift! I hope you can show me some GG to support me, please!]
