"Besides, who said it's been kept forever? Strictly speaking, it's only been kept for a while. Once I finish my research, or lose interest halfway through, this kid will have to leave."
"And then?" Himeko asked.
"What does that have to do with me?" the little black tower man said matter-of-factly.
Himeko immediately felt a headache coming on; what a terrible AI system.
"Xing, do you know you have another option?"
"There's a Star Train parked on the platform. If you'd like, you can come with us."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're trying to steal people!" the little black tower man pouted.
“What’s wrong with that? Hoshino is free until she makes her choice,” Himeko retorted.
"How about it? Think about it. We've dealt with trains and star cores quite a bit. What you're worried about is also the answer we're looking for."
"Moreover, Miss Eve was able to suppress the star core within you, so she can be considered someone who has had a similar experience to you."
“Eve…!” Xing’s eyes lit up when she heard the name.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xing said directly, "I choose to board the train."
"Hiss, Himeko, you..." The little black tower figure looked at Himeko with resentment.
"What does it matter? You can always come back and do your research," Himeko continued.
"Hmph, that's more like it," the little black tower figure said, arms crossed.
“Then, Miss Eve, where are you now?” Xing continued to ask.
“Miss Eve? She seems to be in the curio collection room right now, but you shouldn’t go looking for her now,” Himeko said after thinking for a moment.
"Heita himself is probably talking about it right now."
"Yes, yes!" The little black tower figure nodded.
“Well… okay…” Xing said with some regret.
"Don't be disappointed. You can wander around the space station for a while. We'll call you when the train is about to depart," Himeko comforted her.
"Mmm." Xing nodded.

On the other side, in the rare artifacts collection room.
"This is... the Wings of Wind?" Eve stared in disbelief at the black wings before her, utterly shocked.
That's right, that's the scent of the Drunkard, and it is indeed the Wings of Wind blessed by him.
"What's wrong, Eve?" March 7th noticed something was wrong and immediately came over to ask.
Eve shook her head. "It's nothing."
Just then, a voice came, "You really do recognize this."
"Who?" Eve's eyes sharpened.
At the entrance to the curio collection room stood a tall woman dressed in purplish clothes and wearing a purple magic hat.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Black Tower, the owner of this space station," Black Tower said, leaning against the doorway.
“The Black Tower?” Eve’s gaze fell upon the Black Tower.
"Huh? You're from the Black Tower?" March 7th asked, pointing at her curiously. "I remember the Black Towers are all small, aren't they?"
The Great Black Tower was speechless. "I already told you, that's my doll."
"Oh, right." March 7th scratched his head. "Then why did you come in person this time?"
"Because of the Antimatter Legion?"
“No…” The Great Black Tower shook its head. “Although the legion came with great force and even blew up the door to my collection of rare artifacts, unfortunately, they are not my main target.”
“Cough cough…” March 7th glanced at Eve.
"I came here for her."
“Nameless guest, Miss Eve.” The Great Black Tower looked at Eve and sensed a similar aura.
She smiled slightly, muttering to herself, "As expected, she is also an envoy of [Intelligence]."
"You were looking for me?" Eve asked, puzzled.
“That’s right.” The Great Black Tower nodded. “As fellow envoys of [Intelligence], I won’t beat around the bush.”
The Great Black Tower smiled slightly, then suddenly raised its hand, and a surge of immense power erupted instantly.
"An intellectual cage."
In an instant, materialized data symbols appeared out of thin air around Eve, quickly gathering together to form a cage.
"Hey, hey? What's going on? What's going on? Why are they fighting?" March 7th panicked immediately.
She immediately called out to Black Tower, "Black Tower, Eve is a member of our train crew, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
“I’m not mistaken.” The corners of the Great Black Tower’s mouth turned up slightly. “It’s you, Miss Eve.”
"Hey! What's going on?" March 7th was very anxious, but she couldn't get close to the cage created by the Black Tower.
At this moment, Eve, who had been silent all along, made a move.
"The power of [intelligence]? As expected, it is also a command."
"Void System, activate."
"The established objective: the Black Tower."
"A predetermined goal, a digital cage."
"Analysis in progress, analysis successful, cracking in progress, cracking successful..."
"The anti-digital cage is being manufactured, and the manufacturing process has been successful."
The moment the Void System's voice fell, the cage that had imprisoned Eve instantly turned into green starlight and disappeared. At the same time, an identical green cage condensed around the Black Tower.
"Hmph, as expected of a messenger of [Intelligence]." The Great Black Tower looked at the newly appeared cage with great interest. "Hmm, its digital structure is the same as the cage I just created."
"They're just opposites; cracking them will take some time..."
"Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing?"
Just as the Great Black Tower was about to analyze the situation, it discovered that a book was already being turned in front of Eve.
An unimaginable, immense power coalesced before her.
