Starry Sky Railway: I Intruded with the Heart of God

The train crew members were all used to Ah Zhen's presence.

Ah Zhen doesn't need food, drink, or even a place to sleep; her dwelling place is that videotape.

Mo Li eventually placed her in the train's phonograph.

Ah Zhen picked up a stool and sat down next to the gramophone.

From now on, please call her DJ Azhen.

Just tell her what kind of music you want to listen to.

The train conductor was very satisfied with this.

It's a little scary when the lights are off...

Mo Li's phone received another message:

------------------------

Seller:

Is the guy alright?

------------------------

Mo Li:

I played the videotape, and it was pretty good.

------------------------

Seller:

Oh no, buddy, it's all my fault...

------------------------

Mo Li:

What? He's a really nice guy. He keeps my room temperature constant and helps me operate the phonograph. He's not a bad person.

------------------------

Seller:

what? !

------------------------

The seller hasn't said anything yet; I hope the person is alright.

A while later, Mo Li's phone rang again.

"Did the seller reply?" Mo Li asked, puzzled.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be the "Black Tower Panoramic System".

"Black Tower Panoramic System"

The Supreme Master of Learning is looking down.

------------------------

"Black Tower Panoramic System":

I encountered a mysterious, huge creature, and I was so scared that I turned and ran away!

"Black Tower Panoramic System":

I'm developing the group photos from the seminar a few days ago. Can you guys take a look? It seems like something got mixed into the photos!

"Black Tower Panoramic System":

The night before last, while I was routinely maintaining my research equipment, I discovered a gathering of strange creatures.

Mo Li looked up and happened to bump into Xing Mei, who was also looking up.

The two exchanged a glance and were basically certain that they had both received the message from the "Black Tower Panoramic System" at the same time.

The two got off the train at the same time.

Mo Li also took A-Zhen away with a videotape.

Looking at their busy figures, Xiao Sanyue said, "Why do they seem so busy every day?"

Danheng said, "It's better than Xiaosanyue dragging me around taking pictures every day."

"Danheng!" Little Sanyue shouted in dissatisfaction.

Dan Heng, however, seemed unconcerned and glanced elsewhere.

"Mo Li, where should we begin investigating this matter? I can already sense something interesting coming up," Xing Mei said.

Mo Li pondered for a moment and said, "Whenever something happens on a space station, the defense department is usually the first to know. Let's ask the people in the defense department. There seem to be some people from the defense department in the maintenance room. Let's go check it out."

The machine repair shop is not far from the train, only about the distance of a platform passage.

Before I even reached the door, I saw Alan's figure.

Alan had his back to the two men and was talking to two defense officers about something.

The two stood behind Alan, listening to them speak.

A frantic defense officer said, "Those photos are making everyone on edge. Brother Alan, what should we do about this...?"

Another defense officer said in a trembling voice, "What, what should we do? If you ask me, we haven't even figured out what's in the photo, so it's not our responsibility."

Alan said, "Alright, aren't there plenty of strange things on the space station already? Tell the crew I'll investigate this personally."

The somewhat timid defense officer said, "Brother, why are you doing this? What if something bad happens to you like last time..."

Mo Li patted Alan on the shoulder and asked, "Alan, what happened?"

Alan turned around, saw the newcomers, and said in surprise, "It's you. We were just discussing the strange photos that recently appeared on the space station."

Xingmei said, "That's it?!"

The timid defense officer said, "You guys must have received that photo too, right? Don't you think it's terrifying?"

Xingmei shrugged and said, "What's the big deal? We have real ones on our train."

The timid defense officer took several steps back, nearly falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Mo Li reacted quickly and pulled him back, saying, "Don't be afraid, she's just joking."

The timid defense officer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alan said, "During this period, the defense department has received many reports of sightings of this unidentified creature."

Its whereabouts are elusive, like a ghost; only photographs can capture its shape... Perhaps it's connected to some kind of strange object.

Mo Li said, "The shadow of this thing looks familiar, it's a bit like those 'woowoo uncles' we dealt with yesterday."

“Wuwubo?” Alan asked, puzzled.

The two defense officers standing nearby also seemed quite puzzled.

"Didn't anyone report this to you? Station Master Estella knows about it too."

"I apologize, I've been in the confinement section these past few days, responsible for holding the experimental items that escaped from the Antimatter Legion, so I haven't been able to get information in a timely manner."

Now that we know what it is, the investigation will be very simple. The other departments are busy with reconstruction and can't get away for the time being, so I'll personally accompany you," Alan said.

The anxious defense officer said, "What 'too busy'? It's all an excuse! Passing the buck! Pah!"

Alan said nonchalantly, "Alright, someone has to solve the problem."

Xingmei couldn't help but say, "You're so silly, really."

Alan replied, "...Miss...No, Station Master Está often says the same thing."

“It is precisely because of Alan’s serious and responsible attitude that Estella entrusted him with such an important task. Let’s go, where should we start our investigation, Alan?” Mo Li said.

Alan said, "I've already sent someone to notify the witnesses of the Shadow to gather in the reception hall of the base section. Let's go and sound them out before making any further plans."

Base section, reception hall.

The three wandered around, looking for any clerks who seemed suspicious.

Mo Li found a staff member at the bottom of the stairs, which was the only way to the medical department.

Mo Li said to Alan, "Alan, look at him."

Upon seeing this, Alan said, "I know him. His name is Lukacchi. Let's ask him."

The three of them walked over to Lukács's side. Lukács was still muttering to himself, "Those little guys, they didn't know how to hide properly. They've been photographed one after another, making things so tense now."

If they get caught, even with my silver tongue, it will be difficult to exonerate them. The great cause of protecting the lives of rare creatures is truly fraught with uncertainty…”

Xingmei said, "Hello, I'd like to inquire about the strange thing in the photo."

Lukács said, "The weird thing in the photo? What is that? I've never heard of it before. You must have the wrong person."

Lukács was so nervous that he didn't even notice Alan standing to the side.

Alan suddenly spoke up: "I hope you can tell the truth."

“Ah… Section Chief Alan…” Lukács immediately deflated.

Alan said, "It's alright, as long as you tell us everything you know, I won't make things difficult for you."

Lukács said, "Well, I do know a little about the whereabouts of those strange creatures. Their scientific name is 'Uwoober,' and they are Protoss creatures contained within the Xenomorphs."

"Star Spirits?" Mo Li murmured, then a phrase came to mind:

Papaya Celestial Spirit, you deserve to die!
