Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 341 Reflection in the Mirror

"Is it Lai Gushi again?"

A glint flashed in Walter Young's eyes, and he then raised his hand to push up his glasses.

Lygus, the keeper of the Imperial Scepter, was someone he had heard Ros Goom and the Black Tower mention before.

However, to his surprise, he was faced with an offensive launched by two geniuses.

Not only can Rigol maintain the stable operation of the firewall, but it can also further enhance protection on this basis.

"This is something that an ordinary android could not do."

Thinking this, Walter Young frowned slightly, gently rested his chin on his right hand, and lowered his head into deep thought.

But the next second, the black swan standing to the side suddenly spoke, interrupting Walter Young's thoughts and attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Shh, please keep quiet."

The black swan gently raised her right hand, placing her index finger to her lips as a gesture of shushing.

Then, she slowly turned her head, her gaze sweeping across every corner of the observation car like a searchlight, not even missing the reflections in the windows.

"I could sense that... there seemed to be several unknown guests on the train."

Shortly after the words were spoken, the black swan keenly noticed the anomaly, its eyes fixed on the door connecting to the passenger carriage.

The black swan continued, "Just now, they passed through the bus carriage and now they seem to be stopped in front of... Miss March 7's room?"

"Little March's room?"

Upon hearing this, Himeko suddenly asked, "Do you know who the other person is?"

The black swan shook its head: "...It's impossible to see its whole appearance; I can only barely make out a few outlines made of memory matter."

"Let's go and see," Lin Qiong quickly suggested. "It would be troublesome if they were memory thieves."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed to the bus carriage in a great hurry.

Since Lin Qiong was in a spiritual state at this moment, the door separating the two carriages was essentially non-existent in front of him.

His body passed through the train door without any hindrance, stepping directly from the observation car into the passenger car, and then running towards March 7th's room without stopping.

However, on March 7th, due to feeling unwell, he did not get off the bus to participate in this "exploration" operation.

Lin Qiong had indeed not seen her for quite some time.

It's a bit strange to suddenly lose a guy who loves to complain in the team.

Just as Lin Qiong was thinking this, he had already unconsciously passed through the door of March 7's room.

However, the moment he stepped inside, the sight that greeted him left him stunned.

March 7th was lying quietly in bed, breathing evenly, sleeping soundly.

This should be a scene of a patient resting normally.

But now, March 7th, along with the entire bed beneath her, is frozen solid by a large expanse of chilling Six-Phase Ice.

Especially above that six-phase ice field, you can vaguely see a few dark red jellyfish circling around March 7th.

Anyone who witnessed this scene without knowing the full story would likely think it was an attack that occurred on March 7th.

Lin Qiong was no exception.

He is now almost certain that the "guest" the Black Swan just mentioned was the culprit behind the March 7 attacks.

"You memory thief, you dare to steal memories on a train!"

Lin Qiong suddenly stretched out his right hand, subconsciously trying to summon the Calamity Annihilation into his hand.

But he forgot that he was currently in a special state of "mental teleportation".

Therefore, when he habitually made a grasping motion, his right hand merely grasped at the air in vain, and nothing appeared.

"Damn, I almost forgot, my body isn't here."

Lin Qiong frowned and muttered angrily to himself.

Just as he finished speaking, the others arrived and pushed open March 7's door.

"How is it, Qiong?"

Himeko walked in first, and the moment she entered, she eagerly scanned the entire room and asked, "Have you found anything?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong immediately pointed to March 7th lying on the bed and hurriedly spoke:

"The train was attacked on March 7th. The attackers are very likely the memory thieves who just infiltrated the train."

Upon hearing this, Himeko was clearly taken aback, and immediately followed Lin Qiong's gaze to look at March 7, who was lying unconscious on the bed.

However, when she saw March 7th surrounded by the Six Phases of Ice, her face did not show any obvious emotional fluctuation.

Instead, she simply turned her head slightly and exchanged a glance with the black swan standing beside her.

Then, Ji Zicai turned his gaze back to Lin Qiong and explained, "This matter... is probably more complicated than you think."

"The reason why Little March is the way she is now is not because she was attacked, but because she entered Onfaros before you."

"Huh? They entered Onpharos before us?"

Lin Qiong was visibly stunned after hearing Ji Zi's answer and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't she say she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't get off the bus for the time being?"

“We were also quite surprised when we first heard the news,” Himeko replied.

"But that's the truth."

Black Swan picked up the thread and added, "Ms. March 7's current state is actually a self-protective mechanism of her body."

"But in reality, her mind was already trapped there long before you even stepped into Onphalos."

"This...no way?"

Lin Qiong frowned, his face filled with disbelief. "Before we set off, March 7th even spoke to us."

"She entered Onpharos in such a short time?"

"I'm afraid so."

The black swan nodded slightly, about to continue, "Perhaps Onpharos is more than we originally imagined..."

She had only spoken half a sentence when her voice abruptly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the black swan's eyes sharpened, and it turned to look at a corner of the room.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong followed her gaze and saw that there was a full-length mirror for March 7th.

If you look closely, you'll notice that there are several blurry shadows moving around in the mirror.

"Huh? There seems to be something in the mirror?"

Lin Qiong moved forward a few steps, trying to see clearly what the writhing shadow in the mirror was.

Since he has no physical form now, even if something jumps out of the mirror, it won't be able to harm him.

When he looked closer, he discovered that the figures in the mirror seemed to be... locked in a fierce battle?

It wasn't exactly a fight, but one of the shadows seemed particularly active, chasing after the others that were scattering in all directions.

It was a one-sided crushing defeat.

Just as Lin Qiong was engrossed in watching, the threatening warning from the Black Swan suddenly rang out behind him.

"If you don't leave now, then none of you are leaving at all!"
