Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

"Long time no see, nameless passenger of the Starry Sky Train."

Screw Gum said politely, "I'm so glad I arrived in time to stop the man in black from doing any more harm to you two."

[Qingque: He actually managed to seal off the Fire-Stealing Walker outside of Onpharos! My goodness, the level of genius he's achieved is still rising.]

[Zhe: So he made his move. And he has to be a genius, unlike the Black Swan that led us into a trap.]

Black Swan: ...

[Bai Er: This is truly shocking. To borrow my partner's words, it's terrifying!]

[Star: Galaxy Baseball Man says he never said that... just kidding. He just loves being friends with geniuses; it makes him feel incredibly safe.]

"So it was you." Dan Heng suddenly realized.

Xing couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected the train crew to hire a genius as an outside helper..."

"Indeed. Ms. Black Tower invited me to meet with these nameless guests. Rest assured, Ms. Star."

Chapter 491 The Value of Genius

Guardian Zefer scratched his head. "Do you two know this... Antikythera man? Is he a relative of Councilor Lygus?"

Danheng explained, “Don’t worry, Guardian. This gentleman is here to meet our allies who are expanding our territory. Would you mind if we spoke alone?”

The guards immediately agreed, after all, the two were distinguished guests whom Bai E had repeatedly urged them to be.

After the two guards had walked away, Screwgoom spoke to them.

"I fully understand your situation. Right now, all I can do is temporarily halt the man in black's actions. Therefore, I will summarize my purpose in the most concise way possible—"

"The place where the two reside, Onpharos, is a world constructed from data and memory matter, an experimental field of a star god."

"And now, this isolated sandbox world is rapidly falling into its third fate—destruction."

Dan Heng pondered: "Destruction..."

"Conclusion: If the process of Onphalus is allowed to proceed without restriction..."

"A Great Lord of Annihilation will complete his evolution and transformation, emerging from the surging tides. The galaxy we know will suffer an irreversible blow."

Xing suddenly asked, "Is the Great Lord of Annihilation... similar to Illusion?"

Screw Gum nodded. "The calamity this Great Lord intends to unleash may be far more severe than the Luo Fu Star core crisis. Because its target..."

"It is the star god of intellect."

Danheng and Xing looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock. Onpharos had actually implicated the Star God.

[Black Tower: Black Swan, I really don't know whether to praise you or not for your guidance. Even Polka Kakame, that woman, had trouble finding Onfaros, the Star God's experimental field, and you found it just like that.]

[Topa: However, it seems a bit expensive for anonymous customers.]

[Star: Lai Gushi, didn't you expect the mysterious woman who made the move to be so terrifying?]

[Laigushi: Just an unexpected variable. I'm curious why Lady Black Swan decided to go to Onfaros. Even if it's reflected by the Memory Court, it's not a place you, a Memory Receiver, can interfere in.]

[Black Swan: I don't know either, but after hearing the name Onpharos by chance, I had a vague feeling that it was attracting me.]

[Walter: We are at a critical juncture in Onphalus; the next choice is crucial.]

[Phantom: Iron Tomb... it's received the attention of the entire galaxy even before it's born. Heh, good luck to it.]

[Feixiao: Hmph, you're certainly enjoying your leisure time. Huanlong, don't think we can't do anything to you just because we can't find your true form.]

[Jiaoqiu: The bowstring is drawn, the hunting arrows are ready to be released. Who is the prey, and who is the hunter?]

Screw Gum continued.

"Leaving aside the complicated deductions, I make a request to you two: in order to prevent the flames of destruction from sweeping across the world, I earnestly request that an unnamed guest remain in Onphalus and act as an inside agent."

"This world is shrouded in an inexplicable firewall, and the flow of time is different from reality. Ms. Black Tower and I can only tear open a crack and project images into it."

"But—putting aside the accidental crash of the carriage—the fact that the two of them successfully landed here must have some undiscovered principles behind it."

"Unveiling the mystery will take time. Until then, it would be a great help if an anonymous person were willing to stay and witness the fate of the world, or to push things forward when necessary."

Xing looked to her side. "Danheng, what do you think?"

After a moment's thought, Dan Heng asked, "Mr. Screw, I trust you, so I just want to confirm one thing: Onpharos is facing its end, how can the safety of those who remain be guaranteed?"

Look here—

Screw Gumu took out a strange object. "This is a strange object called the 'Knowledge Anchor.' You two can regard it as a boundary anchor in the world of knowledge."

"As long as it is carried with you, your personal data structure can be protected from the fierce digital tsunami. When necessary, it can also serve as a bridge for internal and external communication."

"Of course, it is not a magical artifact with unlimited use; it can only be possessed by one person."

"The link is affected, and a decision has been made to expedite the process."

"The last two pieces of information:"

"Firstly: ■■The intelligent machine named ■Laigushi■ may be ■the culprit behind everything■"

Secondly: The Black Tower has discovered a clue—Miss March has been implicated in Onpharos.

The projection flickered, and then the connection was lost.

[Ring: Oh my god! Mr. Screw is using Gushi's interference as punctuation! I almost thought it was some kind of obscured information.]

[Su Chang: Little Gui Zi, I've never seen punctuation like this before.]

[Gui Naifen: Oh my god, that was a metaphor.]

[Luminous: This is outrageous! The title of "King of the Machines" is no joke. Wait a minute, do you guys think Screwgoom might also become Emperor III?]

[Black Tower: Screws could, of course, but he wouldn't become Emperor III.]

[Star: Given Onpharos's time span, wouldn't I be older than Sister Himeko in my next reincarnation? It's a pity Uncle Yang is here too, otherwise I would have heard him call me Sister Star, hahaha...]

[Walter: Ahem, put away your fantasies.]

[Fireworks: Hey, Little Gray is all grown up.]

[Danheng: March...Where is she?]

[Changyeyue: You seem to care about her quite a bit.]

It's so cold...

In the vast, narrow passage of fate, March 7th's arms trembled as he looked around, only to see a monotonous, cold color. Wasn't I on the Star Train?

Am I... asleep? Is this... some kind of strange dream?

She stood helplessly with her hands on her hips, her eyes downcast. "Ah... I'm dizzy, it looks like there are so many flying woofs in front of me..."

“Just now… wasn’t I talking to Himeko and the others? How did I end up here in the blink of an eye…”

In the center of the space, a golden beam of light stretched straight into the sky, with no end in sight.

“Ah, I remember now… Xing mentioned this place to me, before she was caught by Cripper…”

She scratched her head. "Could I... have stumbled upon some strange destiny?"

[Star: In March, I finally saw you. Is she also about to awaken a new destiny?]

[Himeko: A narrow passage between fate and destiny? What's Mitsuki doing there?]

[Black Swan: Miss March may have entered Onfaros through this place. I sensed a memory thief; other memory thieves have made their move.]

[Fireworks: Alright, alright, so all those who remember are women who take action, right?]

[Long Night Moon: It's still that familiar taste, so silly...]

[Feng Jin: Shippo is so cute, I hope we can meet him soon.]

[Scott: A narrow escape! No, giving her a new destiny is worse than making me bark like a dog! That uncivilized little girl! I'm not having it!]

March 7th buried herself in thought, "Have I done anything earth-shattering? Lately, besides forcing Pam to change a few outfits and secretly borrowing Uncle Yang's neck and shoulder massager a few times..."

Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood.

"Ah, could it be—Aha?! So, stepping into pleasure is this easy?"

Chapter 492 The Strange "Them"

[Fireworks: Hahaha, this is so much fun! Aha wants fun, Little March, you silly goose... Hmm, that's good, this is also a kind of joy.]

[Fou: You can't say that about Miss March. She's just a little naive and cute, not stupid.]

[Long Night Moon: Fool... Interesting. I'd like to see who's the one having fun.]

[Star: @LongNightMoon, are you a fan of March?]

【Long Night Moon: No.】

[Aha: Hahaha, Akivili became a Pleasure Walker, and Little Fuli will also become a Pleasure Walker... Hahaha, Aha is so happy, Aha loves fun.]

[Rin: Who are you... Ah, ah, ah... I, I didn't see that wrong, did I!]

[Sambo: Oh no, is He going to imitate Destruction and create a Pleasure Messenger for every destiny?]

[Pam: Passengers of the Star Train are not allowed to step onto Pleasure Pam! Aha, you bad Pam!]

【幻胧: @归寂】

[Gui Ji: You doubt me? That noisy laughter is truly annoying.]

A voice came from the narrow passage of fate.

"Children of memory..."

"Go forth...to the depths of the narrow passage..."

On March 7th, alert and flustered, he exclaimed, "Who...who is it?!"

"Don't scare me! No, no matter who you are, why can't you come out and speak? It's too intimidating... I... I'll start rambling!"

“That’s… a door?” Not far in front of her, a door appeared silently.

That ethereal voice appeared again.

"Do not be afraid..."

"Go boldly forward... pass through the gate of memory..."

March 7th was a little confused. "If I follow that voice... will I be able to leave this place?"

Then... then let's give it a try?

So she walked toward the door.

We hadn't walked more than a few steps when a voice familiar to us but unfamiliar to March entered our minds, "Oh dear, don't fall for it..."

"They're lying to you, come back..."

March, who wasn't very bright to begin with, became even more confused.

"That voice...is it again?"

She looked behind her, but there was nothing there.

Let's move forward.

[Walter: It seems that Little March's involvement in Onphalos was not an accident, but rather someone orchestrating it behind the scenes.]

[Black Swan: I'm sorry. Although I'm a member of the Memory Court, I can't stop the other factions of Memory Makers. I will do everything I can to rescue Miss March.]

[Dan Heng: Is he a memory thief or a crematorian?]

[Star: Wait, that voice is Xi Lian. Why is she reminding San Yue and Mi Mi in the Narrow Passage of Fate?]

[Mimi: People don't know what "mimi" means.]

[Himeko: Aside from being glanced at by the Star God, there's very little other way to enter the Fate-Boundary, Xilian... why is that?]

After walking for a while, the figures of a pink-haired girl and Yi Zhe gradually became clear. "That's... the Grand Diviner of Luofu?"

She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Fu Xuan...Master Taibu, what are you doing here?"

"And this messenger lady... haven't we met somewhere before?"

A clear crackling sound of electricity flashed by, and Fu Xuan greeted her expressionlessly, "We meet again, March."
