Starry Sky Railway: I Intruded with the Heart of God

"That's alright then," Mo Li said.

Himeko then explained to everyone, "To use a typical land train as an analogy, it's like the tracks suddenly breaking, leaving a bottomless abyss below..."

At this point, perhaps the only option is to apply the brakes urgently?

“It’s simple, I’ll become a Venerable One… I’ll just carry the train away.” Mo Li said, already starting to roll up his sleeves.

Pam quickly stopped him, saying, "No, no, passenger Mo Li, if we force our way forward, it could lead to terrible consequences!"

"Alright, if nothing unexpected happens..."

Before Mo Li could finish speaking, Old Yang walked over and said, "The preliminary test results are in; the root cause of the anomaly is still the 'Star Core.'"

Mo Li: (Holy crap!)

Mo Li decided to tease Xing, so he looked at her and said, "Star Core?"

Xingmei was a little surprised and said, "Could it be something wrong with me?"

Xiao Sanyue, defying the heavens, grabbed Mo Li's ear and said, "Stop teasing her!"

"Ok."

Mo Li didn't feel any pain at all.

Old Yang smiled and said, "That's not the case. It's just that there is another star core nearby, made of the same material as the one placed inside the star."

Xing pondered for a moment and then asked, "What exactly is a star core?"

Himeko said, "There are many mysteries surrounding the star core, which even the Black Tower cannot fully unravel."

However, you don't need to worry too much. This isn't the first time we've encountered a situation where our flight path is blocked by a star core. Even if we don't understand the fundamental principles of a star core, there are still ways to counteract its effects.

Walter: "The only certainty is that the impact of the star core will bring about dramatic changes in civilization and ecology, as well as spatial distortions such as rifts."

The reason Yalilo-6 became such a frozen planet... is inextricably linked to the influence of its core.

Himeko: "According to our conjecture, the Star Core is a calamity sown by a certain Star God and spread to various worlds. Without eradicating the source of the calamity, there is no way to talk about development."

Xing asked again, still puzzled, "Don't the people in those worlds know how to save themselves?"

Walter carefully explained to her, "Looking at this planet from our current perspective gives us the illusion that we are omniscient and omnipotent."

Only when you actually stand on that land will you realize your own insignificance and helplessness.

Himeko said, "Hoshi, I hope to entrust this 'exploration journey' to you, March 7, and Danheng. As for Moli, he will act as the navigator and be responsible for negotiating with the locals."

The journey's purpose is clear: to find the "Star Core," which has brought calamity to this world and caused spatial distortion, and bring it back to the train—leave the rest to us.

March 7th exclaimed excitedly, "Great, Star! We can team up again!"

Xingmei asked again, still puzzled, "Aren't you going together?"

Himeko said, "Someone always stays on the train, otherwise Pam will be very lonely."

Besides, we just got a glance from Nanook; if the antimatter legion targets us again, we're in big trouble.

Himeko's gaze lingered on Old Yang, as if to tell him: You can't leave.

(Ding) You can't leave!

Walter said calmly, "It's not our turn this time either..."

Himeko explained, "I know you really want to go, but young people should be allowed to walk around alone and get to know each other better."

Himeko then said to the three "young people" beside her, "If you have no objections, why don't you go and have a chat with Dan Heng?"

He's probably already started compiling the ecological research data on the Yalilo-6, right? It's always good to gather more information before embarking on a journey.

Mo Li nodded and said, "I've already thought of a name for this adventure: 'The Heart-Frozen Adventure'."

March 7th: "Stop using puns, hey!"

star:"..."

Pam said, "Every stop brings an exciting adventure!"

Xing asked, "Has Pam ever participated in any adventures?"

Pam said dejectedly, "No..."

We can't leave this train yet...

Mo Li remembered that when he first saw Pam, she had just gotten off the train, but according to his intuition, she was within three meters of him. After that, Pam never got off the train again.

Could it be that... the train's energy core is something like PAM, and PAM leaving the train would accelerate the loss of the train's energy?

Of course, you can't guess by just guessing; it's better to guess that Pam is the train's "spirit."

In short, Pam can no longer get off the train...

Pam walked away with her short legs.

Danheng was already chatting and looking around the train hall.

On March 7th, he should have gone back to his living quarters to pack his things. If Danheng didn't come out on his own, then he must have been notified on March 7th.

Mo Li came to Dan Heng's side and said, "I'll have to trouble you to look after Xiao Sanyue and A Xing during this expansion."

Danheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Mo Li went back to her room to pack her things.

He had a feeling that this exploration trip would be even more exciting than the previous ones.

So he decided to bring his avatar with him.

While plagiarizing at his computer, "Mo Li" got up, shut down the computer, left the room, and went to wait in the train hall.

As for the black tower doll by the bedside, Mo Li pondered for a moment but still didn't bring her.

As for Ah Zhen... she sleeps inside the phonograph all day long, only responding when changing songs; otherwise, she spends all her time working on the train's temperature control system.

Xing asked around the train hall, and finally it was Mo Li's turn.

But what emerged first was not the original body, but the avatar.

Xingmei asked, "Can you tell me about the first scene you explored?"

Clearly, the avatar could only know what Mo Li wanted him to know; for anything else, he could only shake his head and say, "Ask my real body."

After saying that, the avatar disappeared in a flash, leaving only a mask in Xing's hand.

“Uh…” Xingmei was a little at a loss.

"Please keep this for me, thank you." Mo Li's voice came from behind him.

"--Huh? You scared me!" Xingmei was startled.

One Mo Li disappeared, and another Mo Li's voice came from behind her, which really startled her.

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Mo Li asked.

"No...nothing much..." Xingmei said.

"Oh, by the way, could you keep this for me too?" Mo Li handed her a golden pendant-like object.

"What is this?" Xingmei asked.

"This is called the 'Eye of God,' a kind of 'external magical organ,' which allows me to use a portion of my power. Of course, you can use it yourself as well."

"Do you want me to hand it over to someone?"

"The mask might come in handy, but you can use it yourself until then."
