Starry Sky Railway: Starting with a furious outburst at Aha

Finally, after the thirteenth punch, the power of the Star Core could no longer hold, and Cocolia's dark purple energy dissipated, returning her to her normal appearance.

"Finally!" Zhou Yuan's face lit up with joy, only to see golden light flashing near his second brother.

"Holy crap! The star core is about to explode!"

With his life at stake, Zhou Yuan disregarded elegance and scrambled off Cocolia.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

Cocolia clutched her chest in agony, where surging energy was boiling, piercing through everything and projecting light. Under the influence of the star core, she was almost bursting apart by this energy.

"Danheng, now! Restrain yourself!" Zhou Yuan urged.

"understand!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's call, Dan Heng nodded, took out the star core restraint device that he had prepared beforehand, and aimed it at the star core inside the iron fence.

hum! !

Three long, lightning-like chains shot out from the rods of the restraint device, and as if possessing a spirit, automatically extended into the openings of the fence, firmly binding the star core.

The golden light emanating from Cocolia immediately diminished considerably.

"Mother!" Seeing this, Bronya could no longer restrain herself and rushed over to get closer.

"Strike while the iron is hot, increase the power!"

Dan Heng gradually increased the energy of the long rod, like reeling in a fish. The lightning chain contracted, and the golden star core containing terrifying energy slowly penetrated the fence and was "fished out".

The closer it got to the restraint device, the less energy the star core controlled. Finally, it was completely locked by the restraint device and could no longer exert any influence on the energy on Cocolia.

"It's now!"

Zhou Yuan thought to himself, and took out a dice-shaped consciousness shield from his pocket. As long as this thing was activated, the connection between the star core and Cocolia would be completely severed, and Zhou Yuan's ultimate goal would be achieved!

"Win it all!"

Zhou Yuan laughed loudly, pressed the switch on the dice, and threw it at Cocolia.

Didi, didi, didi!

The die landed near Cocolia's feet and suddenly emitted a short, sharp alarm. Before Zhou Yuan could react, it exploded.

!!!

what's the situation! !

Dust and smoke billowed up, obscuring the scene and making it impossible to see what was happening; all that could be heard was Seele's helpless cries:

Bronya! Where are you?

Zhou Yuan was closest to the explosion. As soon as the smoke cleared, he rushed over and saw Seele standing there helplessly, clutching a piece of Bronya's clothing in her hand. The two people at the center of the explosion had already evaporated and disappeared on the spot!

Cocolia and Bronya are both dead?!

"What happened?" March 7th asked, looking dazed. "Where have they all gone?"

Dan Heng stepped forward and touched the traces around the explosion crater:

"It's just ordinary gunpowder, it shouldn't have hurt them, so why did they disappear?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't hear the others' discussion; he could only feel his heart pounding wildly.

"What's going on? Am I some kind of jinx? I only wanted to save Cocolia, how did I end up dragging Bronya into this too?!"

"No, no! What went wrong?"

Zhou Yuan reviewed all his actions, from planning to implementation, each step was taken steadily and without carelessness, except... that consciousness shield!

"Yes, that's what Sambo gave me! It's even very likely that Hanabi asked Sambo to give it to me! There's definitely something wrong with that thing!"

"She can cause trouble even when she's not even there! That wretched little brat!!"

Zhou Yuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed. He realized that he had overlooked something.

"Mutual guarantee of the destruction button!"

Zhou Yuan carefully took the button out of his bag and examined it closely.

"Sambo once said that when I feel regret or want to go back to the past, I should press this button. Is that true or false?"

"What he's describing is clearly the current situation. Should I press the button or not?"

"...Damn it, I just walked right into the trap."

After a moment's thought, Zhou Yuan firmly pressed the petal-like button, and the next moment, the "Mutual Guarantee Destruction Button" shattered!

It shattered quietly and silently, and then... nothing happened!

Zhou Yuan looked closely and realized that the button was just an empty shell; there was nothing inside!

......

On another hilltop a few miles away from Zhou Yuan, a girl in red was holding a telescope. When she saw Zhou Yuan press the button, she also pressed the remote control in her hand.

"Eh?"

The button had no effect when pressed. She looked at it strangely for a few moments, then tapped it on the ground a couple of times to fix it and pressed it again.

On the other end, Zhou Yuan felt he had been tricked. His eyes widened in anger, and he was about to blurt out, "What the hell...!"

However, before Zhou Yuan could utter the curse about reducing his power by at least one hundred tons, he heard the horn of the creation engine above his head sound.

"5-4-1!!!"

The countdown ended abruptly, catching everyone off guard. The next moment, a dazzling firework burst from the top of the creation engine, the red fireworks forming the image of a little girl sticking out her tongue.

Along with the fireworks, three figures emerged. Seele took the lead, and the others caught the figures, discovering that they were none other than the missing Jepard, Cocolia, and Bronya!

Zhou Yuan recognized the owner of the fireworks at a glance. As he relaxed, his words took a complete 180-degree turn: "Damn it... good health!"

"Thank goodness, Bronya, you're alright!" Seele woke the unconscious Bronya and hugged her, weeping with joy.

Hiluva ran over to Jepard in a few steps and picked him up.

"Wow, Zhou Yuan, did you prepare these fireworks?" March 7 looked at the fireworks flashing overhead, her eyes sparkling like stars. "So...romantic."

"Of course, let me tell you, preparing this surprise was quite a hassle." Zhou Yuan didn't feel embarrassed at all when he lied.

"Really?" Just then, Xingyin's sinister voice rang in Zhou Yuan's ears, "The appearance of these fireworks is somewhat unfamiliar. Who is this girl?"

"Uh... what were you talking about? My internet connection suddenly lagged," Zhou Yuan said.

Seeing this, the girl in red on the other side nodded in satisfaction, put away her binoculars, and went down the mountain.

She searched and felt around in the snow, and finally found someone, who was "Jepard".

"Hey, little Sambo, you're not allowed to sleep here," she said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, "Jepard" turned around with a look of utter despair, his expression suddenly changing to that of the blue-haired "Uncle Cold Legs".

"This is too much..." Tears were clearly visible on Sambo's face. "This is my script! I just want my mask back, why did you have to get involved!"

"Fine, then participate! Why did you provoke him in the first place?"

"I disguised myself as Jepard just to get closer and join in the fun, but you, instead of getting him angry, made him want to take advantage of me as soon as we met!"

"I helped Cocolia find people and then helped you move your things, was it easy for me? Waaaaah~~~"

Sambo was severely stimulated by the light cone, and his words became incoherent. He lay on the ground, sobbing for a while, before raising his head again:

"So, ladies, considering how miserable I am, can you give me back my mask?"

"Oh, that," the girl in red, Hanabi, smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sangbo, Zhou Yuan snatched that mask. He was wearing yours. You... why don't you go and get it back yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Sangbo silently turned to the side and buried himself in the snow: "You can go now, I'm going to sleep."

"Hey Sambo, don't be angry. At least... I had fun, didn't I?" Hanabi looked in the direction of the pioneer team. "And you helped me find a group of interesting people."

On the pioneering team's side, Zhou Yuan, unable to answer Xing's questions, fled as if escaping, returning to the Star Dome Train with the Star Core Restraint Device.

Halfway there, the star core's frantic murmurs frequently entered his mind:

"He has noticed you..."

"You...you're going to die!!"
