Star Railway, starting as Kiana

Along the way, March 7th chattered on about all sorts of possibilities, sometimes saying it was the work of mysterious magic, sometimes guessing it was a malfunction in a high-tech human cloning experiment. Kiana remained silent, a vague sense of unease creeping into her heart.

The question now is whether someone is impersonating the two of them, or whether there is some kind of time-space overlap, or some other phenomenon.

But Kiana always felt that this was only the beginning.

Unfortunately, Hanabi couldn't contact her. She hadn't set up an anchor point on Hanabi's body yet, otherwise she could have caught Hanabi and seen if the dream was her doing.

Of course, we can't rule out that it was Aha who was behind it.

As they stepped onto the campus of Origami University, they found a strange atmosphere permeating the place. Students came and went, but all seemed to be deliberately avoiding them. Himeko stopped a student to ask a question, but the student gave them a frightened look and hurriedly ran away.

"This place is a bit eerie." March 7th gripped Kiana's arm tightly.

Just then, they saw a white figure with a single ponytail flash by in the distance—it was Kiana from the photo. The group immediately gave chase, but the figure moved freely among the campus buildings, as if she knew the area intimately.

They chased after him until they arrived at an abandoned laboratory building, where the figure suddenly vanished. The group cautiously entered the building, which was dark and damp, filled with all sorts of strange instruments and equipment.

"Where exactly is this place?" Kiana asked softly, her voice echoing in the empty hallway.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and a mysterious voice came: "You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Chapter 640 Ruan Mei and Cat Cake

"Hey, Ruan Mei!"

I thought I would meet some new mastermind, or perhaps another version of myself from a parallel world.

However, what appeared before Kiana and the others was unexpectedly Ruan Mei.

And "Kiana" has returned to its original form, which is the cat cake that Ruan Mei showed Kiana in the photo before, which looks extremely similar to her.

Clearly, the other Kiana from earlier was the cat-shaped cake in front of us in disguise.

That...

Where is the robin?

Kiana's gaze shifted to behind Ruan Mei, where she found a cat-shaped cake with outstretched paws, holding a miniature turntable. Its unique metal halo and cute little wings could only belong to a robin.

“Meow~!”

"Muniu~!"

The tension that had been building up around everyone vanished the moment they saw the adorable little creatures.

As the two cat-shaped cakes meowed, several more cat-shaped cakes slowly emerged from behind Ruan Mei.

Looking at those familiar faces, March 7th's heart was instantly melted.

She picked up her own cat cake with her left hand and hugged Kiana's cat cake with her right hand, ready to give it a good squeeze.

Unfortunately, even cat cakes have their own personalities.

Just like Kiana's cat cake, as soon as March 7 reached out, it nimbly hid behind Ruan Mei, then quickly jumped onto Ruan Mei's head, looking down at March 7 from above.

Cat Cake, belonging to the seventh day of the third lunar month, was unable to escape and was held tightly in her arms, suffering a brutal "torture".

"Muniu! Mumuniu!"

Whether it was screaming in pain or feeling somewhat comfortable from being rubbed, the March 7th Cat Cake couldn't help but let out a sound.

Among them, besides the few cat cakes, there were also several cat cakes that looked extremely similar to the Star Core Hunter.

Not only do they look similar, but their behavior also shares many similarities with the original.

For example, the Cat Cake that looks like a blade, after being neglected by the other Star Core Hunter Cat Cakes, picked up a broken wooden stick and chased after the Cat Cake that belonged to Dan Heng.

"There are five people involved, and three will be held accountable!"

Fortunately, Danheng wasn't there, otherwise PTSD would have been triggered immediately.

"Ah, how cute! Such an adorable creature!"

Himeko remained silent, only staring strangely at the cat cake with purple spider patterns lying on top of her cat cake.

"Ahem, Ms. Ruan Mei, may I ask what brings you to Pinocone?"

Although Ruan Mei was not a notorious wanted criminal like Dr. Primal, Robin, as the only person present who could represent the family, was inevitably careful in her words and actions when dealing with each member of the Genius Club.

Who knows what a genius from a talent club might do?

However, Ruan Mei completely ignored the existence of Robin, the world-famous singer, and went to Kiana's side instead.

After stabilizing the Kiana-themed cat cake on her head to prevent it from falling and getting hurt, she took out an embroidery that Ruan Mei had prepared herself and handed it to Kiana.

At the same time, several exquisite pastries were also brought out.

"Would you like some? The plum blossoms used in this pastry are freshly pickled; I've been waiting in line for a long time for it."

Ruan Mei's gentleness was reserved solely for Kiana, but thankfully she didn't completely ignore the others. After Kiana received the embroidery and pastries, she took the cat-shaped cake off her head and looked at everyone, regaining her senses.

Kiana accepted the embroidery and pastries, a delighted smile spreading across her face.

"Ruan Mei, thank you. The embroidery is so exquisite, and the pastries look delicious too." As she spoke, she took a small bite of the pastry and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

March 7 looked at Kiana, then glanced at the cat-shaped cake in her arms, and feigned grievance, saying, "Kiana, look, your cat-shaped cake won't let me touch it, but mine is so well-behaved."

Even so, the kneading of the cat-shaped cakes in her hands did not stop.

Ruan Mei smiled and said, "It's just a little shy. It'll get used to it after spending more time with it."

Despite saying that, Ruan Mei had no intention of handing the cat cake in her arms to March 7 so that they could spend more time together.

It's clear that in her heart, Kiana's cat cake holds a completely different position than the others.

The robin coughed lightly, trying to get Ruan Mei's attention. "Ms. Ruan Mei, you haven't answered my question yet."

Ruan Mei then turned her gaze to the robin, her expression calm. "I came here only for some personal matters, and it has little to do with you. I wasn't comfortable leaving these cat-cats to live on their own, so I came along."

Himeko then walked over and looked at Ruan Mei, saying, "Ruan Mei, no matter what, your appearance always brings a lot of novelty. Is this cat-shaped Star Core Hunter replica your new research result?"

Ruan Mei shook her head slightly, "They're not research findings, just some peculiar little changes. They seem to have their own consciousness, and they bring a unique kind of fun to this world of Star Core Hunters."

After failing to catch Dan Heng's cat, the blade-shaped cat ran back to Ruan Mei's feet, rubbed against her leg, and meowed as if expressing its dissatisfaction, with the wooden stick still in its mouth.

Kiana's cat cake broke free from Ruan Mei's embrace and came to the side of the Blade version cat cake.

A miniature version of the Void Spear appeared in front of her.

Kiana's version of Cat Cake patted the empty space in front of her with her little hand. Only then did the Blade Cat Cake understand what she meant. She happily dropped the little stick she was carrying, turned her head and picked up the miniature version of the Void Spear, which looked like a pencil, and rushed straight towards the location of Danheng's version of Cat Cake.

Everyone: ...

Kiana swallowed the pastry in her mouth and asked curiously, "Ruanmei, how did you make them like this? It's amazing."

Ruan Mei stood up, a hint of mystery in her eyes. "It's a secret, but if you're interested, I can tell you some interesting stories about these cat cakes." Hearing this, everyone gathered around, their eyes full of anticipation, ready to listen to the wonderful stories Ruan Mei had in mind.

But when they heard Ruan Mei's countless profound and unfathomable words and one incomprehensible parameter after another, everyone gave up trying to think.

Besides Kiana, Ruan Mei's apprentice, only Himeko could understand the gist of it.

Ruan Mei: I think what I said was very simple and easy to understand. After all, she is Kiana's companion, so my attitude should be acceptable.

Unfortunately, Ruan Mei has some unusual judgments about common sense.

"By the way, Ruan Mei, what's the surprise you mentioned?"

Looking at the adorable Kiana in front of her, Ruan Mei surprisingly winked at Kiana, keeping her in suspense.

"A surprise is no longer a surprise once it's been told."

"But don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

Chapter 641 Tingyun is missing

Ruan Mei simply greeted everyone briefly before preparing to leave.

Although Kiana was still curious about what surprise Ruan Mei was talking about, seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining it directly, Kiana did not continue to ask.

Watching that group of adorable cat-like cakes, like a group of loyal little followers, accompany Ruan Mei as she walked away.

March 7th's gaze followed the cat-shaped cakes intently, her eyes filled with reluctance. Her hands trembled slightly, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes. After hesitating for a long time, she reluctantly put down the cat-shaped cakes in her arms, her eyes filled with melancholy. She could only watch helplessly as Ruan Mei's figure gradually disappeared from sight.

"Waaah, cat cake!" March 7th couldn't help but whimper softly.

Kiana watched from the side, somewhat surprised, as it was the first time she had ever seen March 7 so well-behaved.

On ordinary days, the seventh day of the third lunar month is always full of energy and fearless.

But at this moment, facing these cat-shaped cakes, her eyes were practically overflowing with affection. Yet, the instant Ruan Mei turned around, she didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly put down the treasures in her arms.

You know, even when facing Black Tower, that quirky and sometimes mischievous guy, March 7th was never this obedient.

What? Has March 7th changed its nature?

"Little March, by the way, are you afraid of Ruan Mei?" Kiana tilted her head and asked curiously.

Upon hearing Kiana's words, March 7th blushed slightly, awkwardly raised her hand, scratched her head, and playfully stuck out her tongue.

She first looked around warily, and only after confirming that Ruan Mei was not nearby did she lean closer to Kiana and lower her voice to say, "Actually, it's not that I'm scared, it's just that I feel that Ms. Ruan Mei has a strong aura. That strong aura seems to have an invisible pressure, so when I'm with her, I feel a little restrained and not as comfortable as usual."

"Is there any?"

Kiana recalled her time with Ruan Mei and seemed to only remember that Ruan Mei played the ruan, her voice was beautiful, her pastries were delicious, and she would occasionally give Kiana embroidery, which Kiana didn't know what it was for, but was very pretty.

As for the oppressive force that March 7th mentioned, Kiana felt absolutely nothing about it.

"By the way, Robin, how's your brother doing lately?"

However, Kiana noticed that the robin's expression became strange after she mentioned Sunday.

And he even had a little "How could I have forgotten about this?" expression.

The little wings behind her neck seemed to be speaking on behalf of their owner, fluttering as they went.

Anyone could see that the robin had something to say, and the reality of Sunday might be somewhat different from what they had imagined.

Kiana suddenly remembered a question: Can the cat cake really transform into any shape at will?

The reason it transformed into its original form when it first arrived at the Black Tower Space Station might be because its cat, Gao, had seen a photo of itself when it first arrived at the Black Tower Space Station.

But what about the robin?

Could it be that...

Perhaps, the cat cake is simply replicating the behavior of the robin.

"Alright, the family and the robin also have their own concerns."

At this moment, Kiana had already roughly deduced the reason why the robin was in such a state, based on the information she obtained from Emerald.

It's worth noting that Sunday was the one who created the "Dream of Taiyi," nearly plunging the world into chaos.

Shortly after his arrest, he was unexpectedly released quietly on Sunday. This release was, of course, extremely secretive, and the general public was completely unaware of it.

If Kiana hadn't asked her, she herself probably would have been kept in the dark.

Emerald remained calm and said softly, "Miss Kiana, now that our deal is done, I wish you a smooth and pleasant journey ahead."

It must be admitted that Jade's ability to maintain her current position is not only due to Diamond's appreciation and strong support, but also to her extremely skillful handling of affairs.

The mere act of secretly releasing Sunday demonstrates her brilliance. She skillfully maintained the relationship between the company and the family, preventing it from reaching a stalemate, successfully gained Sunday's gratitude, and even naturally earned favors from Kiana and the robin, who was unaware of the situation at the time.

It seems that in this world, various events intertwining and overlapping have become the norm.

Just as the group had met Ruan Mei and figured out the reason for the appearance of the two robins and two Kianas, a major incident suddenly occurred on the Immortal Ship.

Shocking news arrived: Tingyun had disappeared.

Surprisingly, the first person to inform Kiana of this news was neither Fu Xuan nor Jing Yuan, but Yu Kong, who had almost no connection with Kiana.

According to Yu Kong's description, Ting Yun was handling chamber of commerce affairs when, right before everyone's eyes, she suddenly burst like a fragile bubble and vanished without a trace in an instant.

This unusual and bizarre situation immediately drew everyone's attention. The Immortal Ship also quickly blocked related information and launched a full-scale search operation.

But after a fruitless search, Qiyana finally remembered the group. She was the one who had helped the Celestial Ship solve countless difficult problems and had even served as acting general for a considerable period.

"Tingyun is so pitiful."

On March 7th, after seeing Kiana, who had come to the Golden Death Land with him after parting ways with the Robin, Kiana's expression remained strange, her eyes fixed on her phone. Finally, she even uttered a familiar name and couldn't help but speak.

"Qibao, why are you mentioning other women again?" March 7 said with a hint of displeasure.

Kiana paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "I... never mind, Little March, you'll understand once you see this."

As she spoke, Kiana handed her phone to March 7 without any suspicion, seemingly without any concern that March 7 might check her chat history with others.
