Starry Sky Railway: I Intruded with the Heart of God

Throughout, Mo Li listened to Bernard's words as an observer.

He only became resentful after hearing the phrase, "I was only doing this for his own good."

Xing looked at the indignant Mo Li and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Mo Li shook his head and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine, I just... can't stand it. He shouldn't have made decisions for others."

"Well, what's your decision?" Xing asked.

“He has the right to know the truth,” Mo Li said.

"I think so too."

Rocky always seemed to be at his desk on the steps leading to the Black Tower office.

When the two found him, he was still writing something, which seemed to be another love letter.

Rocky.

Rocky turned around excitedly and said, "Brothers! You're back! While you were gone, I wrote another poem, 'Ode to Leslie'."

You guys fixed the repeater, right? I saw you still have the translation backup...hehe, which one's mine?

Xing looked at Mo Li, and Mo Li glanced at Xing before handing the red truth in his hand to Luo Qi.

"Why do you seem so hesitant? Are you sure the red one is mine?" Rocky asked doubtfully.

"I am sure."

Xing said those words.

Rocky accepted the red transfer backup without hesitation.

"Oh. I'll go get it and read it. Thanks, both of you."

Mo Li and Xing sat on the steps in front of the Black Tower office.

“What do you think he will do?” Xing asked.

"Perhaps it will inspire his fighting spirit and motivate him to work even harder on his research," Mo Li said.

after a while.

Rocky returned with the transferred backup, looking on with a suspicious expression.

"How could this happen... Leslie accepted my confession, but about the Starquake part..."

My mind just can't quite process what's going on.

It seems... due to the gravitational effect of the starquake, for every month that passes in her time, decades pass in mine. Does that mean by the time she returns, I'll be as old as my master?

Is that what she meant? You two, please help me check, my mind isn't working properly, is that what she meant?

"This is not something you can control."

"She went to the future. And I stayed in the present... Is that right?"

So, the long time I miss her must be nothing more than a fleeting moment to her.

I never imagined that even time could be unfair to people.

Therefore, expecting her to come back is unrealistic. Even if she travels for months, crossing light-years, in my timeline, I'll already be an old man.

To spend a lifetime waiting for someone, enduring countless longings and loneliness...

Honestly, you two, you don't really think I'm that naive, do you?

Haha, of course I won't wait for her! I won't wait!

Xing, seemingly unaware of his tactics, said, "A wise decision..."

Rocky continued, "I won't wait... but I'm going after her. I'm going to chase after time!"

Since her timeline has become a great canyon, instead of waiting for her to come out, wouldn't it be better for me to cross this great canyon?

Maybe it will take me ten years to find her after just one month, but at least our time will be in sync from now on, which is better than sitting here waiting to die.

Don’t you think so?

Mo Li smiled faintly and said, "That's right, just as I thought. Let me tell you something, buddy: the brave enjoy the world first."

"The brave enjoy the world first? Hahaha, I get it, thank you. I must be a brave person, I want to... chase after time!"

I've made up my mind! I'll talk to my master as soon as possible, pack my bags, and head out to find Leslie.

I'm so tired of being here... As a staff member of the "Black Tower - Global Geography Department", I've never even seen the real Milky Way. If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off.

I'm sure you're just as curious as I am about what it's like in deep space.

“I hadn’t thought about that…” Xing said.

"At least for me, there are magnificent and lonely wonders, unknown and beautiful dangers, and the person I've been searching for..."

Once I find Leslie, one day I will return and tell you everything I saw on this journey...

"I'll ask you to be my best man and maid of honor then, so please don't forget our promise."

Why did you suddenly become so dramatic?

Mo Li thought for a moment, then said in a somewhat childish tone, "Then... never forget the meaning of travel!"

Rocky nodded emphatically and said, "Definitely. Oh, by the way, then I'll give this poem to you."

Rocky left, leaving behind only "Goodbye Black Tower" handed to Mo Li.

The poem Rocky just wrote...

Darkness lines up in the distance.

It dissects time in an almost cruel way.

The petals of love have already fallen.

Like the ticking of a clock in an infinite space-time continuum.

We have no other choice.

It can only be drawn into the ominous trembling of the universe, like sliding down a twilight slope.

And so, the stars continue to enjoy the music overhead, their elegant weariness visible along the way.

"Hopefully he can succeed."

"Ah."

Argumentation could be heard in the distance, but that was no longer something the two of them should interfere with.

It's getting late too.

"Xing, it's very late now, do you have a place to rest?" Mo Li asked.

"No," Xing shook her head and said.

"Then, come with me to the train for the night," Mo Li invited.

Xing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Mo Li brought General Xing onto the train.

The train conductor was about to register the visitor information, but after looking at the ticket stub on the front of the star-studded collar, he put the record sheet back.

Then the train conductor went into the think tank, presumably to look through some documents.

Xing was curious about everything on the train.

She tried to touch the potted plant, but Mo Li stopped her.

"Xing, you can touch almost everything on the train, but not the potted plants. The conductor will be angry," Mo Li reminded her.

"Train conductor?"

"Yes, that's the one who just joined the think tank, our train conductor."

"I see."

Inside the living quarters workshop.

Mo Li brought Xing here.

At this hour, they should all be in bed getting ready to sleep, right?

Mo Li knocked on March 7's door.

"Who is it?" March 7th quickly got out of bed, put on her Pam patterned slippers, and opened the door.

Xing peeked out from behind the door, smiled, and waved.

"Hi~"

"It's you. I'm so glad you're alright." March 7th opened the door, revealing the entire scene inside her room.

“Little March has nowhere to go. Could you take her in for the night?” Mo Li asked.

"Is that all? Sure." Xiao Sanyue pulled Xing into the room, rummaged through the closet, took out a set of pajamas, handed them to Xing, and said, "Go take a shower and change into these."

"it is good."
