Dan Heng nodded slightly, his tense expression relaxing a bit. "Sunday is right. Waiting for her to wake up and understanding her feelings might give us more direct clues."

Just when everyone was adjusting their mindset a little due to Sunday's enlightenment, Xing found that someone seemed to be @ing her in the chat group.

[Genshin Impact·Ying]: "@Bengtie·Xing@Bengtie·Danheng, is something wrong with you guys? Do you need any help? I still have a lot of Rejuvenation Pills left, they're very effective at healing. I've put them in the group warehouse, so feel free to pick them up if you need them!"

[Zero·Ling]: "Sister Ying is right! Just ask if you need anything!"

[Bengtie·Xing]: "Thank you Ying! Sanyue fainted and needed this!"

Xing felt warm in his heart and immediately took out the jade bottle from the group warehouse.

She pulled out the cork, and a refreshing herbal fragrance immediately filled the air, and poured out two round, green pills.

"The healing medicine Ying gave me is said to be very effective." Xing explained as he carefully lifted up San Yueqi's head and put the pill into her mouth.

The rejuvenation pill was quite effective. Less than two minutes after taking the pill, March Seven's long eyelashes began to tremble and she uttered a few vague mumblings.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with the confusion of just waking up, and focused on the faces of the people surrounding her.

"Wow!" San Yueqi was shocked by the scene and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

She subconsciously shrank back, her mind still a little confused. "W-what's going on? You...why are you all surrounding me? I...did I do something bad again and get caught red-handed?"

She tried hard to recall the previous scene, and only remembered a terrifying force tearing through the protective shield, a dazzling light, and a huge impact, and then...

It seemed as if she saw a blurry figure, but before she could see clearly or react, she lost consciousness.

Did he accidentally damage the train before he passed out? Or did he accidentally freeze someone? San Yue Qi felt increasingly guilty as he thought about it, looking at the serious expressions on everyone's faces.

An even more terrifying thought popped up: "Wait... wait... your expressions are so serious... and you're sighing? Did I just hear a sigh? Could it be... could it be that I'm seriously injured? Am I going to die soon?!"

Her voice was filled with tears and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Everyone looked at March Seventh, who had just woken up and was performing a little drama in his heart, with a wonderful expression on his face. His familiar and energetic look (although a little crooked) made everyone's tense hearts relax a little.

They all sighed softly with a hint of helplessness and pampering.

Fortunately, she seems to be fine in this regard, her consciousness is clear and her personality has not changed.

But to San Yueqi, this uniform sigh was simply ironclad evidence of her mortality!

"Woo--!!" March 7's scream almost broke through the roof of the car.

"No way! You're still sighing! And so in unison! It's over, it's over, am I really going to die? I'm still so young, there are so many beautiful sights I haven't seen, and I haven't fully mastered the power behind Lianxiu Shirayuki! Wuwu..."

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

Just as she was about to burst into tears to mourn her "short but wonderful" life, she felt a sharp pain from a hard object in the palm of her left hand.

"Hmm?" She subconsciously looked down at her left hand.

She saw that she was holding something tightly. It was not her own sheep talisman, but... a talisman that was broken into two halves in the middle, with clear black and white!

It's broken!?

Time seemed to stand still for a second.

Immediately afterwards——

"ah--!!!!!!!!!!"

An octave higher than the previous scream, a sharp and penetrating explosion instantly resounded throughout the entire Starry Sky Train!

"It's over, it's over! It's completely over now, ahhhh!"

San Yue Qi suddenly jumped up from the ground, no longer caring about his "imminent death". He held the two halves of the talisman in his hands, his face full of despair as if the world was about to end.

"The Tiger Talisman! The Tiger Talisman that Mr. Zhongli lent me! Why...why is it cracked?!"

She held the tiger talisman in her hand, and suddenly realized, "So... So you're sighing because I broke something so important?! I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to!"

"I just instinctively wanted to grab my sheep charm, but I grabbed the wrong one! Who knew it was so fragile! Wuwuwu... Mr. Zhongli, I'm so sorry..."

San Yueqi fell into deep self-condemnation and anxiety about compensation, completely unaware that the broken talisman concealed a truth far more serious than compensation and more concerning her own existence.

Looking at the pink-haired girl holding the two halves of the talisman, panicking about the "sky-high compensation" and completely unaware that a piece of her soul was missing, the heavy worries in everyone's hearts about the top commander and the split soul were now replaced by a more absurd and helpless feeling of great powerlessness.

"March." Dan Heng's calm voice interrupted her "bankruptcy declaration" that was about to begin.

His gaze was direct and steady, without the slightest hesitation. "Mr. Zhongli is aware of the shattered tiger talisman, but he hasn't pursued the matter. This isn't a serious matter, and you don't need to pay compensation."

"Ah?" San Yueqi's sobs stopped abruptly, as if the pause button had been pressed. Her pale blue eyes blinked, a little confused. "No...no need to pay? Mr. Zhongli is so generous?"

"It's not that I don't have to pay for it, but this thing isn't broken at all." Dan Heng then changed the subject, his eyes becoming sharper. "Now, this isn't the point. What's important is, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Or..."

"Do you feel any difference?" His question went straight to the point, drawing everyone's attention back to March 7's own condition.

Chapter 128 The troops are divided into three groups

When he heard that the item was not broken and he didn't have to pay for it, Sanyueqi felt relieved and his expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright.

He even subconsciously patted his chest and said, "Feelings? I don't feel anything! I'm fine! Look, I'm full of energy!"

As she spoke, she stood up and jumped vigorously twice to show that she was indeed fine.

"But..." She looked at Dan Heng suspiciously, then glanced at the crowd with complicated expressions. "Since the talisman is fine, why are you still staring at me like... um... a rare animal? It's creepy!"

Xing watched March 7's seamless switch from "the end of the world" to "nothing happened" in seconds, and couldn't help but get closer to Ji Zi and Walter.

She lowered her voice and complained: "Sister Ji Zi, Uncle Yang, do you feel that... March now seems to be more stupid? Could it be that the one left here is a stupid March?" She pointed to her head.

Ji Zi and Walter looked at each other, and saw deep helplessness and a trace of imperceptible worry in each other's eyes.

Walter pushed his glasses and sighed softly.

Ji Zi rubbed her brows and whispered, "Ah... maybe. After all, we don't know what the missing part of her is."

They couldn't be sure whether March's "off-line" at this moment was an amplification of her original character, or some subtle influence brought about by the loss of her soul.

March Seven didn't hear Xing's whisper clearly, but when he saw Ji Zi and Walter holding their foreheads, he became even more confused.

She dusted herself off and waited for Danheng or someone else to give her a reasonable explanation.

Dan Heng looked at San Yueqi, who was still "full of energy" but obviously didn't grasp the main point, and knew that he had to make things clear.

He took a deep breath and spoke as concisely and clearly as possible, "March, the enemy that attacked the train just now was targeting you. It was trying to forcibly take away a part of you—perhaps your soul, a memory, or something more essential."

The relief on San Yueqi's face froze in an instant.

"At the critical moment, the tiger talisman you were carrying passively activated its 'separation' ability."

Dan Heng pointed to the broken talisman in her hand. "It forcibly separated you into two separate parts. The attacker took one of them away, and the remaining you fell into a coma. That's why the talisman shattered and you fainted."

"What...what?!" San Yueqi's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, he was completely stunned.

"I...I'm only half of myself now? My other half...was captured by that villain and taken to Omphalos?!"

There was so much information that her brain froze for a moment.

Dan Heng nodded: "That's understandable."

After a brief shock, San Yue Qi subconsciously frowned and began to try hard to "look inward" at himself.

I didn’t pay attention to it before, but now that it has been pointed out, an indescribable feeling of awkwardness clearly emerges.

It’s like... an important part in my body has been removed. Although the machine can still function, it always feels empty, and it doesn’t run so smoothly or so "completely".

What exactly was missing? She tried to grasp it, but it was like grasping at a fog, and she found nothing.

What frightened her even more was that a strong urge surged from the bottom of her heart - she had to go to Omphalos!

Now! Immediately! Immediately! It was as if something there was desperately calling out to her, pulling her, and she had to go!

This impulse came so violently and directly that it even overwhelmed the confusion and uneasiness about one's own "incompleteness".

"I... I feel..." San Yueqi's voice was a little dry, and she raised her hand and pressed it on her chest.

"It feels like there's something missing here... but I can't quite put my finger on what's missing... and..."

She suddenly raised her head and looked at the strange ∞ outside the porthole. Her eyes became unusually firm, even with a hint of eagerness.

"And there's a voice in my head telling me I have to go to Omphalos! If I don't go... I have a feeling something big will go wrong!"

She was a little confused when she first woke up, but now her thoughts are extremely clear.

This wasn't willfulness, but an instinct deep in her soul! She immediately expressed her feelings without reservation.

When everyone heard this, their expressions became more solemn. March 7's description undoubtedly confirmed everyone's speculation.

At this moment, San Yueqi felt the awkward feeling of "emptiness" and inner anxiety making her feel uneasy.

Almost instinctively, she took out her sheep talisman, held it tightly in her palm, closed her eyes and concentrated.

hum...

A faint blue light flowed across the surface of the sheep talisman, spreading like ripples and quickly enveloping March's body.

Like cool spring water, it instantly soothed the restlessness in her soul and the discomfort brought about by "lack".

It was as if the power of the sheep spell allowed her to temporarily achieve some strange "pseudo-complete" state.

San Yueqi let out a long sigh and felt much more comfortable. The feeling of disharmony caused by the "clunking" sound inside his body was greatly reduced.

"Huh... much better." She opened her eyes and looked at the sheep charm in her hand. "That empty and crazy feeling is gone!"

"But... that feeling of 'having to go to Omphalos' is still there, just not as strong anymore. It's like a small thought hiding in the corner, constantly reminding me."

"As long as it's useful." Xing nodded and briefly updated the chat group on the current situation.

[Bengtie·Xing]: "@All members, Sanyue is awake and doing well! Thank you for your concern and Ying's rejuvenation pills! I shouldn't need support for now, but I'll definitely call you if I need you later!"

As soon as the message was sent, the group was immediately flooded with concern:

[Genshin Impact·Ying]: "I'm glad you're okay! Let me know if you need help!"

[Zero·Ling]: "Come on, March! Just let me know if you need any props!"

[Genshin Impact·Paimon]: "Paimon has delicious food here to replenish your energy!"

【Juequ Ling·Zhe】: "Be careful!"

[Genshin Impact·Zhongli]: "Right now, helping Sanyue calm her mind is the most important thing. Don't worry about the talisman."

[Bengtie Danheng]: "Thank you for your concern. We will act accordingly."

Seeing the warm encouragement and support from group members, Xing felt a lot more at ease.

She looked at Sanyueqi: "Check the chat group, everyone is concerned about you! Don't be afraid!"

Sanyueqi looked at the messages in the group, his eyes slightly warmed, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

On the other side, Walter, Dan Heng and Ji Zi exchanged glances quickly, walked to the corner of the carriage, and held a quick and efficient discussion in low voices.

The enemy is far superior to ordinary messengers, and their target is clearly Omphalos. March 7's condition also requires them to go there. Now the forces must be concentrated, but backup must also be prepared.

Soon, the discussion came to a conclusion.

As a representative, Jizi announced to everyone:

"Based on the current situation, we decided to split our forces."

"The first route is the pioneering team: composed of Dan Heng, Xing, and San Yueqi. The three of you will board a carriage detached from the Star Train and land on Omphalos."

She looked at Dan Heng: "Dan Heng, you are responsible for the team's command and decision-making."

Dan Heng nodded calmly.

"The second route is the rescue team, consisting of Walter and Mr. Sunday. They will attempt to obtain sufficient assistance to deal with the enemy at the level of the emissary. Mr. Sunday's knowledge and insights may be helpful in this process."

Sunday bowed slightly: "Glad to be of service."

"The third route, the remaining team: I'll be in charge." Her eyes swept across the carriage. "I'll be in charge of the Starry Sky Train, ensuring the safety of the base camp and maintaining communication with the pioneering team. Meanwhile..."

She looked at the Black Swan who was sitting beside her, her face still pale, and said, "Miss Black Swan needs to rest and recover. I will take care of her."

Black Swan felt a little embarrassed, but nodded gratefully.

At this point, the strategy for dealing with this sudden crisis has become clear, and the tasks of the three teams have been clearly divided.

Dan Heng, Xing, and San Yueqi's eyes met, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes.
