Chapter 17 Leap Begins
Shortly after Walter Young left, Lin Qiong also headed towards the observation car.
The Starry Sky Train, observation carriage.
When Lin Qiong arrived at the observation car, he saw Xing and March 7th chatting on the sofa.
Curious, Lin Qiong wanted to hear what they were talking about, so he walked over to them.
As Lin Qiong approached, he heard March 7's voice.
"Who I am, what my original name was, where I came from... I've completely forgotten all of these things."
"Even the name 'March 7th' was chosen simply to commemorate the date I was awakened."
It turns out that March 7th was telling Xing about his past.
It seems that Xing, who just got on the bus, doesn't know where to go next.
Just when Xing was feeling lost about the future, she happened to meet March 7th, and then March 7th began to tell her about her background.
"So I stayed on the train and followed it from station to station."
"Hoping that one day I can find my past..."
At this moment, March 7th, who was recounting her past, noticed Lin Qiong's arrival and immediately changed the subject, saying:
"Oh dear, why did I say that? It's a bit of a downer."
Cheer up, Star.
"After all, riding the Star Train is a very rare experience!"
Xing saw that the conversation on March 7th was interrupted by Lin Qiong's appearance.
Xing looked at Lin Qiong with a hint of resentment, as if asking him why he had come to bother them.
Lin Qiong could only scratch his head awkwardly. He couldn't very well say that he also wanted to hear some gossip, could he?
Just as Lin Qiong was wondering how to explain...
Pam stopped right in front of the three people.
Seeing this, Lin Qiong, who had come up with a solution, immediately spoke up:
"Ah, the train conductor is here!"
Is something the matter?
Upon hearing Lin Qiong's words, March 7th and Xing both looked at Pam.
"The train has left the space station's safe zone and is expected to initiate the jump in ten minutes."
"Please sit tight and hold on, three passengers, be careful not to fall."
Pam stared at March 7 the entire time she spoke, as if she were speaking to March 7.
March 7th, feeling annoyed by Pam's gaze, said:
"Uh... was it really necessary to come all this way to remind me, Pam?"
"We've already made so many leaps..."
"Isn't it because the March 7th passengers wanted to challenge themselves with every jump, and then they fell?"
Pam sighed and said helplessly.
"Hehe, that's what you call perseverance."
March 7th scratched his head and chuckled, then continued:
"Oh, by the way, conductor, could I have a glass of juice? Thanks!"
"The leap is about to begin. If you want something to drink, we can talk about it after the leap is over!"
Pam shook her head and refused.
"But Himeko is still drinking coffee!"
March 7th points to Himeko, who is sitting to the side making coffee.
But Pam acted as if she hadn't heard him and walked into the train's driver's cab without turning back.
"Hmph! Pam is showing favoritism!"
March 7th said angrily, arms crossed.
At this moment, Lin Qiong looked around the entire observation carriage.
Besides March 7th and Star sitting on the sofa, Walter Young was sitting near the interstellar radio.
Meanwhile, Himeko, who had somehow returned to the car, was making coffee opposite Walter Yang.
Suddenly, Pam's voice came through the train's public address system in the driver's cab.
"Hello—hello hello—"
"Please return to your seats, everyone. The jump is about to begin—"
"Please get ready—"
Upon hearing the announcement, March 7th immediately stood up and walked to the middle of the observation car.
On March 7th, he slightly bent over to adjust his center of gravity, then closed his eyes and stood steadily, repeatedly saying, "I won't fall."
"5--"
"4--"
Upon hearing Pam begin the countdown, Lin Qiong immediately sat down next to Xing, gripping his thighs tightly with both hands.
Xingye, sitting to the side, looked somewhat nervous, as it was her first time experiencing a train jump.
"1--"
When Pam uttered that number, Lin Qiong suddenly felt everything around him slow down dramatically.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, except for his consciousness.
My body felt like it wasn't obeying my commands; I couldn't make any movements.
Lin Qiong then noticed that the entire observation cabin seemed to be covered with a shell, emitting a faint blue light.
At the same time, the scenery around Lin Qiong suddenly began to blur, and everything in his field of vision seemed to be stretched out.
This situation didn't last long; in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.
The only abnormal thing was probably that he fell to the ground on March 7th.
"Ouch, that hurts..."
"Hmm... I failed again this time."
March 7th rubbed her head; you could tell from her expression that the fall must have hurt a lot.
Lin Qiong got up and walked to the huge viewing window, looking at the planet outside that was enveloped in white.
This planet is the first stop on my journey after arriving in this world—Yaliluo-6.
"I never imagined that after thousands of years, the Yalilo-6 would turn out like this."
Himeko's voice came from behind.
When Lin Qiong turned around, he found that Ji Zi had appeared behind him at some point.
"Huh? Is that white, hazy planet our target this time?"
March 7th, who had just been crying out in pain, also came over and looked at the planet, saying...
"That's right... I imagine this 'exploration' journey won't be easy either."
Just after Himeko finished speaking, Pam walked out of the train's driver's cab.
"Anomaly detected in nearby spatial readings!"
"Star orbit stability rate has dropped to 12%!"
"The stop schedule has been changed. The stop time at this station has been extended from 7 days to indefinite!"
"Until the anomaly is eliminated!"
Pam's words stunned everyone present.
In other words, unless they find out the cause of the spatial anomaly and resolve it, they will have to stay here indefinitely.
"Sigh...it's happening again..."
"Needless to say, the reason for this abnormal star orbit is also..."
Before March 7th could finish speaking, Walter Young walked over from the other side of the bus and said:
"Preliminary test results are in; the root cause of the anomaly is still the 'star nucleus.'"
March 7th spread his hands, sighed softly, and said, "See? I knew it!"
Walter Young continued:
"Perhaps the transformation of Yalilo-6 into this state is definitely related to the 'Star Core.'"
"So we need to go to that planet and investigate first, no matter what."
After Walter Young finished speaking, Himeko nodded in agreement.
"Then let's decide on the participants for this 'exploration' journey."
"Two people need to stay on the train, so I won't be going on this 'exploration' trip."
"Let young people go out more and build relationships."
After saying that, Himeko, who had decided to stay on the train, walked to a chair and sat down to start making coffee.
