Star Railway, starting as Kiana

Chapter 68 What? Durandal?

I thought it wouldn't be long before I recovered.

Just like the Herrscher form on the Black Tower space station, or the Brownie form on the train.

Each duration is counted in minutes.

But this time, Ling herself had been kidnapped long ago. When she was chatting with Kafuka, she shrank, and now, as the days gradually became darker, she still hadn't turned back.

Please don't complain about the time and weather; it's necessary for the plot. I don't know if it gets dark in Luofu, or what time it gets dark, but this is the only way to set it up for the sake of the story.

"Could it be Aha's doing again?"

Kiana thought about this and suddenly realized that she still had two more opportunities to contact Aha for help, and it felt like a huge waste to waste them on asking questions.

"Forget it, let's see if we can turn back tomorrow. If not, we'll just have to waste it. Being powerless like this is still a bit of a problem."

Fortunately, the power of the Fate Walker is still usable.

"Haha, I won!"

A pleasant voice came from not far away.

Kiana followed the sound to the location where it came from and found four people playing cards together.

Kiana was certain that one of them, even just by looking at his background, was Qingque.

As for the other three, although Kiana didn't know who they were, judging from their attire, they should all be "civil servants" belonging to various departments of Luofu.

Kiana checked the time and realized that although it was getting dark, it wasn't time to leave work yet.

So I've caught four guys who were slacking off at work and playing cards?

Kiana lowered her pace and approached Qingque's side.

This place, Yoshizaki, is not a proper Masaji table; it's just a pavilion for tourists to rest and relax, which also makes it convenient for Kiana to watch the duel between the group.

...

Busy, referring to March 7th and Xing who had been running around aimlessly with Di Ting all day, also returned to the inn.

After telling Uncle Yang about what happened today, March 7th noticed that Uncle Yang's expression was extremely strange again.

It seems like I keep seeing this lately?

When Kiana first arrived, and she said something like, "Even though I'm [insert name here], I can be your father," Old Yang always had this expression on his face.

"Durandal? Let me catch my breath first."

First Himeko, then Kiana, and then Bronya and Seele. Back when they were fighting Berlberg, Kiana and Xing's words reminded Old Yang of a certain being who was given the title of savior.

According to Kiana, on this journey, she might meet her "old friend," and now she's telling me that Durandal has also appeared.

Okay, okay, so many years have passed.

Honkai is still chasing me, right?

Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?

Looking at Old Yang, who was already approaching madness, March 7th suddenly felt a little scared.

But now Himeko isn't here, and neither is Pam.

Kiana was also kidnapped.

On March 7th, she realized she couldn't hide anymore; she couldn't just hide behind the newborn baby laughing next to her.

"What's wrong with Uncle Yang?"

"I don't know. Could it be that we went to see Gui Naifen and Su Chang's performance and forgot to invite him?"

But when Lao Yang heard Su Chang's name, his last thread almost snapped.

"I feel like Uncle Yang is really scary these days. I think I'll go out for some fresh air first."

"Okay, then I'll go back to my room to rest."

March 7th left the hotel and wandered around the streets, while Xing returned to her room.

I saw a message from an unfamiliar contact.

The greatest hacker: Durandal is actually Kiana, just shrunk down and wanting to cause trouble.

Xing: Huh? Who are you? How did you know? Why are you telling me?

But after sending it, all I received was a red exclamation mark and a short text.

Verified by the greatest hacker friend.

Xing really wants to jump into the screen, find the other person's location in the network, and come to them.

Pick up a baseball bat and press it against the opponent's head.

"You're just going to leave things unsaid? Riddlers and those who only say half-truths, you'd all die!"

But this group message is still quite important to dig out. In March, Qi was not there, so he went downstairs to look for shrimp and found Lao Yangling.

By this time, Lao Yang had already adjusted his mindset. What storms hadn't he seen with just Youlandail and Sushang?

So what if you bring a few more?

Even Otto...

Okay, Old Yang really couldn't stand it.

"Uncle Yang, take a look at this."

Old Yang took the phone Xing handed him and carefully read the brief message on it.

His previously furrowed brows suddenly relaxed a bit.

"Ah, so that's why we're crying. Xingba, why don't you forward this message to V3I Moon? That might put her at ease and at least make sure Kiana is alright. Maybe she just wanted to play around."

But soon, a new account sent a picture.

Just then, Lao Yang was about to close the message interface and hand the phone back to Xing when he accidentally tapped a new message, and a picture appeared before their eyes.

The white fluffy dumpling is a fraud; it's all lies, not sweet at all: [image.jpg]

The image opened to show the scene of the meeting between the group.

I don't know where the other person took the photo, but they managed to perfectly avoid the surrounding passersby.

In the photo, March 7th is holding a pink burlap sack and quietly standing behind Kiana.

Moreover, judging from his expression, March 7th's smile reminded Lao Yang of someone.

Old Yang's brows, which had relaxed, furrowed again.

"Forget it, let's not tell March 7th about this. I'm afraid he'll get arrested."

Old Yang is really worried that if March 7th finds out about this, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

They're probably going to just take a sack with them and head out.

Then the next day, a troop of Cloud Cavalry will come to check the water meter.

...

Meanwhile, inside the pavilion, Qingque still hadn't noticed Kiana beside her.

I don't know whether to say Kiana has a low profile or a great talent for stealth.

Or perhaps it's because Qingque is too focused when playing cards.

Only a few cards remain in the deck. If no one wins in another round, the game will end.

Five, four, three.

Finally, it was Qingque's turn, and there was only one card left in the deck.

Kiana realized that all four players were now ready to win and were waiting for Qingque to draw the last card. She wondered if Qingque would use it to win the game or give someone else a winning hand.

Or perhaps it's four Huangzhuang, starting a new game. Is it called Huangzhuang? I've been playing so much random stuff, I've mixed up so many terms.

"One chicken, one chicken, one chicken!"

When Qingque drew the last card, he kept muttering to himself, his eyes closed, and he held the last card in front of his chest, just like a devout believer.

Just then, footsteps came from behind.

Kiana turned around and saw the familiar figure she had seen just yesterday, walking towards her with a strange smile.

Chapter 69 Could it be that I have a trick up my sleeve regarding "Mom"?

"One of Bamboo! I won! A perfect 'scoop from the bottom of the sea' move!"

The last card revealed was indeed the One of Bamboo, which Qingque needed.

Qingque immediately beamed with joy, slammed the One of Bamboo on the table, and pushed the tiles in front of her along with it.

All of them are the same monotonous 100.

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the three players in front of him, Qingque simply assumed they were annoyed because they had won such a big hand.

But at that moment, a familiar voice came from behind Qingque.

"Oh? One of the Eight, right? Trying to catch the moon from the bottom of the sea, right?"

"Qingque!"

"exist!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Qingque disregarded everything else, stood up from her seat, and tensed up.

I already had a plan in mind for how to explain that I was slacking off and playing cards, and why I was in this place during work hours.

"My Lord, I really wasn't slacking off, I was doing this for work, yes, for work!"

"Oh? I, the Lord of the Spirit Alliance, would like to hear your story. What job did you do that required you to sneak out to play cards here during your regular work hours?"

"what..."

"My lord, isn't this all for the sake of stability in Luofu?"

"Look, I've finished my work. In my spare time, I thought about what happened yesterday when the fox clan's ears suddenly turned into that shape. I'm investigating the reason for this. You see, my card-playing friends, ah, no, the three colleagues I invited are all young fox clan members."

"Qingque, do you think I would believe that?"

"Lord Taibu..."

Qingque tried to beg for mercy, but Fu Xuan jumped up, grabbed Qingque, and was about to take her back to work overtime.

Sigh, Qingque is great in every way, except that she loves to slack off too much.

Despite being a newcomer, he was more efficient and meticulous in his work than veterans who had worked for decades.

He even intended to pass on the position of Grand Diviner of the Grand Diviner Bureau to Qingque when he became a general in the future, so that this guy could take over his position.

But this guy slacks off all the time, and always barely passes the assessments.

This gave Fu Xuan a real headache.

This forced me, the diviner, to go to Shence Manor every day to supervise General Jingyuan and prevent him from slacking off, and then go to find Qingque who was slacking off before I could leave work.

"Ugh, I'm so tired!"

The three card players that Qingque found exchanged glances and, realizing that the fortune teller Fu Taibu had no intention of ignoring them, the three of them chose to make their escape.

After all, it's still working hours, so let's not drag them into it too.

"Hey, who is this child?"

Qingque was so focused on catching the card player and playing cards that she didn't notice a little girl standing behind her until the three card players left.

"Qingque, do you know this child?"

"I don't recognize him. Didn't he come with the Grand Diviner?"

Fu Xuan was about to ask a question when Qing Que arrived in front of Kiana first and squatted down.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is... Yulandel, hello big sisters."

Kiana originally wanted to use her real name, but with Fu Xuan present, it might lead to certain associations, so Kiana used the name "Dumb Goose" again.
