Starry Sky Railway: Starting with a furious outburst at Aha

"What...what happened?!"

Zhou Yuan was speechless, his gaze suddenly turning to Dan Heng.

His eyes were tightly closed and his face showed pain. Moisture gradually condensed on his forehead, turning into dragon horns, and his hair began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wow! ! !

Water flowed and rippled within the room, converging to form a dark green water dragon that continuously swirled around Dan Heng.

"Danheng! Are you alright?!"

Zhou Yuan reached out anxiously, but the water dragon suddenly rushed into Dan Heng's body. After a dragon roar like a great bell, all the strange phenomena disappeared.

The next moment, a pair of cold and majestic vertical pupils slowly opened.

"Dan...Dan Heng?" Zhou Yuan asked uncertainly.

This time, Danheng's transformation was even more thorough than during the day. Apart from his clothing, he was now indistinguishable from the Dragon Lord Yinyue of the Chiming Clan.

Zhou Yuan didn't know how to address him for a moment.

Fortunately, Danheng's answer dispelled his concerns: "Yes, it's me."

"How are you feeling? What... happened just now?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"I'm fine, thank you," Dan Heng said calmly, the strange changes in his body immediately dissipating, and he returned to the appearance Zhou Yuan was familiar with. "Just now, I lost control a little."

"After I came into contact with the 'light cone,' I first felt a slight pain, and then..."

At this point, Dan Heng paused, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed his other thoughts.

"Later, my memories suddenly came to mind, memories from years ago, decades ago, hundreds of years ago."

"Then you..." Seeing that Dan Heng was alright, Zhou Yuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard Dan Heng say this, his heart immediately clenched again.

He was very clear about what Danheng had gone through in the past!

"It's alright, I'm used to those memories," Danheng said with a smile. "Of course, that doesn't mean I want to relive them again."

"That's good... I'm sorry." Zhou Yuan finally felt relieved.

“No, you don’t need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I should thank you,” Danheng said. “You reminded me of an important memory that I was about to forget... and you enabled me to fully control this power.”

As he spoke, a dragon shadow flashed past his side.

The complete Lord Yinyue... For some reason, Zhou Yuan suddenly wanted to silently mourn for Ren: "I have already activated the Dragon Lord ahead of time, so you'd better watch yourself."

He thought for a moment, then spoke:

"According to you, that cone of light reminded you of painful memories... Coincidentally, the emotion I injected into it was pain."

“Then the conclusion is obvious,” Danheng said. “The emotional cone can evoke memories in others that are related to that emotion.”

"It's like... letting him go through it all over again."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan fell silent.

To experience that excruciating pain again would undoubtedly be a cruel punishment, and Zhou Yuan now truly admired Dan Heng's endurance.

He then thought of the two masked fools, Hanabi and Sambo. Apart from Zhou Yuan's special case, it could be said that most people who could embark on the path of pleasure were not quite normal.

Their past experiences must have been full of hardships and setbacks, which shaped their personality.

Then the light cone containing pain or sadness will be even more powerful for them.

The light cone is incredibly lethal to the Masked Fools! Unless they've gone so mad as to ignore the past.

Zhou Yuan now feels that Hua Huo's arrival is because he gave Sang Bo a hard time, scaring him so much that he chose to call for reinforcements.

"What a troublemaker!" Zhou Yuan cursed inwardly.

"Now that the conclusion is out, I won't disturb you any longer. Get some sleep... See you tomorrow," Zhou Yuan said, taking his leave.

Sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.

......

The next day, at four o'clock in the morning in Belleburg, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on Zhou Yuan's door.

"Who is it?" Zhou Yuan turned his head and asked warily.

“It’s me, Seele!” Seele’s voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Yuan pondered for a few seconds, then turned his back and conjured a cone of light before going to open the door:

"What's wrong? Why are you knocking on the door so late?"

Considering there are two Masked Fools in the lower area, Zhou Yuan is always ready to give each person a light cone to calm them down when they suddenly appear.

"Bronya... Bronya is gone!!" Seele gasped for breath, beads of sweat on her forehead, clearly having run there.

"What? She's gone!" Zhou Yuan frowned and rushed to Bronya's room, only to find it completely empty.

After searching the room for a while without finding anything, Zhou Yuan immediately looked at Xi'er behind him and asked sharply, "When did you find it!"

"just now."

"Just now? It's four o'clock! What did you want with her?"

“I…” Seele’s face flushed red and then paled, “I just wanted to talk to her.”

"Chatting in the middle of the night..." Zhou Yuan was speechless.

He immediately went out to the hotel front desk and pulled up the surveillance footage.

A moment later, Zhou Yuan saw a familiar figure in a black robe in the image.

The man in black robes knocked on Bronya's door and entered her room. A moment later, the two left the room together and disappeared.

The moment the man in black robes stepped out of the frame, Zhou Yuan captured the moment his face appeared.

Jepard!!

"It's Jepard! Jepard's down!" Seele exclaimed in surprise. "He took Bronya away!?"

"How is this possible?" Zhou Yuan fell into deep self-doubt.

Wasn't Jepard just Hanabi in disguise? How would he know Bronya, and why would he take her away? Bronya in the scene clearly left voluntarily!

Where was she taken?

Zhou Yuan immediately knocked on the door of the development team's room and gathered them together.

"What's going on? I was having a sweet dream when I was dragged out of bed," March 7th said, disgruntled.

“Bronya has been taken away by Jepard,” Zhou Yuan said solemnly.

Without knowing the full situation, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to take a risk and act decisively, launching the plan ahead of schedule to minimize its impact.

“We must act immediately, right now, to return to the upper zone, find the star core, and seal it away.”

“Now? No problem.” Xing nodded to Zhou Yuan.

Dan Heng also said, "Then let's set off."

“I want to go too!” Seele said earnestly. “I’ll call everyone from Earthfire.”

"No! You can go, but don't invite anyone else. The more people there are, the easier it is to be exposed prematurely," Zhou Yuan decisively refused.

“Okay,” Seele nodded.

Before leaving the lower area, Zhou Yuan made a phone call to Sang Bo.

"Hey friends, I'm here!" Sambo, who had just received the call, rushed over and waved to the crowd.

"Why the surprise attack? Weren't we supposed to meet at eight or nine o'clock?"

Before Xi'er could explain, Zhou Yuan coldly flicked his wrist, sending a scarlet cone of light straight toward Sang Bo.
