Collapse, survive

Page 48

If we exclude the coffee as a cause, then the young elderly person's mind was deeply shaken.

It's truly a place of constant expansion and renewal, with immortals lined up like hemp.

Walter no longer felt that what had happened before was a dream.

He's already had coffee, how come he's still not awake?

Could it be the Herald of Knowledge? But the Herald of Knowledge is a woman… and moreover, the Herald of Knowledge transformed into a Bloodstained Spirit? Is it the Key of God? Then what about this explosion and burning that I can see…?

You must be from the antimatter legion, right?

However, there is some good news, namely—

"Don't panic, maybe it was all the work of the Masked Fool! There's someone on this planet who claims to be the former Masked Fool!"

Walter smiled with relief, and his words startled Pam so much that she jumped three feet high.

"What? It's the Masked Fool... Where's the conductor's broom? If any Masked Fool dares to board the train, Pam will definitely poke his butt hard!"

Pam was extremely excited and immediately put down the coffee she had been holding back from drinking.

Everyone's excited, that's great!

I need to see him!

Walter couldn't sit still any longer, and it wasn't just because of the coffee; he sent a message to Danheng.

……

The Star Train team arrived at Yalilo-VI via a landing capsule, and naturally returned in the same way.

Uh, Fang Jie has driven the landing capsule away.

It doesn't matter if he can drive or not; it's autopilot, destination locked.

Next stop—

Star Dome Train.

Because it's so fast, there's not much of an experience to speak of, but when the star train that stops at the Milky Way's star trails comes into view...

Fang Jie was extremely happy, perhaps even nine-tenths of the way.

He took the lead and stepped onto the train. It was a small step for Fang Jie, but a giant leap for him.

Board the train!

Which song should we play?

Before he could make a decision, a furry creature with two long ears and wearing a uniform walked towards him. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and it was indeed delightful.

Train conductor—Pam!

Pam, broom in hand, said in an unfriendly tone, "Hey, it's you, isn't it? That's right, it's you I called, you idiot! You're the Masked Fool!"

For some inexplicable reason, a surge of power made Fang Jie raise his hand, as if Pam's hand held not a broom, but an invincible divine spear, and he was being pointed at in the buttocks.

"The Masked Fool? I'm not, I didn't."

He proved his innocence with a confident and righteous statement: "I am an anonymous visitor."

"what?"

Pam was shocked: "Welcome? You think I, the train conductor, would say that? No way! Listen up, kid. Although you're a passenger once you board the train, and all passengers have some unspeakable secrets, I, Pam, am the train conductor here. Don't try to fool me by acting like one of our own. The train conductor will never let any masked fool get away with it."

What a dignified train conductor.

But I... the Masked Fool?

This left Fang Jie scratching his head. Which troublemaker was trying to ruin his reputation?

At this moment, an elegant and intellectual voice came, easing Fang Jie's embarrassment.

"Don't be nervous. Don't be fooled by Pam's appearance. The train conductor always welcomes new passengers, and he's quite interested in you."

There was no need to ponder who the troublemaker was; Fang Jie turned his head and saw... Ji Zi.

Her long, bright red rose-colored hair, like flames, was much more elegant, adorned with gold accessories that added a touch of magnificence and nobility. She wore a modified gray-black navigator uniform over a pure white high-slit dress, her graceful figure radiating charm and making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Compared to Himeko Murata, whose life burned like a raging fire, Himeko Train was more elegant. Both were equally beautiful, passionate, and noble, and both chose to journey towards the stars.

He didn't say anything, yet it was as if he had said something.

"Your eyes remind me of... Hmm~, never mind, welcome to the Starry Sky Train. You must be Fang Jie, right? I've heard Dan Heng introduce you before."

Himeko smiled gently and turned around gracefully: "Walter, he's here."

He stepped aside, revealing a serious-looking 'young man' with gray hair, sitting behind the coffee shop, his hands clasped under his chin, his glasses reflecting the light.

"..."

Walter remained silent, simply gazing at the bell.

erosion?

What about your Honkai energy reaction?

And then there's Yae Sakura, whom he never saw in person. She died in the Great Collapse of Changkong City and transformed into Theresa's Stigmata.

This reaction from the Holy Mark is indeed genuine.

And the most genuine one is you—Fang Jie, this Jizo Soul is so freshly made!

"..."

Walter remained silent, finally staring at Fang Jie, and he thought... Old Yang's reaction was strange.

He greeted him, "Mr. Walter?"

Walter: "..."

He continued, "Joachim?"

Joachim: "..."

He came again: "Old Yang?"

Old Yang: "..."

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, mainly because Walter's seriousness kept rising. He remained silent, unlike Fang Jie, who was so relaxed and cheerful that it wouldn't be surprising if he were mixed in with March 7 and Xing.

The sense of security upon arriving home was overwhelming, and I became overly familiar with everyone.

Before the awkwardness could escalate further, Himeko stepped forward and said, "Both of you are welcome. Please feel free to come to me if you encounter any problems on the train."

Himeko didn't know much about what was going on there, but she knew who the problem lay with, and that's what she should do in times like this.

"I'll give you a tour of the train. This is the train conductor's responsibility, but I'm just taking the liberty of doing it for him."

Rin and Yae Sakura had no objections.

The former sensed the terror of the train, and thankfully, the Star Train was not carrying the pioneering star god Akivili.

And the latter...

where is this?

Yae Sakura's confusion was replaced by confusion. When Fang Jie took her away, he didn't say that they were going to the sky. They passed through the 'Netherworld' where demons and monsters had been wiped out, then walked through the snowfield where no life existed, and finally entered the strange 'building'... and then they went to the sky.

Is this what the heavens are like?

Because of the synesthetic beacon, she could understand the conversations of the people in the sky, and because everyone she encountered, except for Pam, looked more human than her, Yae Sakura found it even more difficult to understand.

The train conductor, Pam, who had been overstepped his bounds, also had something to say: "That's right, passengers, welcome aboard the Star Train. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the conductor. But please remember, since you've chosen to board, you must abide by the rules here. You're not the only ones who are special in this galaxy, so no one is special. Remember that."

He then stopped Himeko from overstepping her bounds and instead helped her entertain the newcomers.

Only Walter and Fang Jie remained here.

Fang Jie found Walter's expression somewhat strange. After a moment's hesitation, he tried asking, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Walter. But your expression... do you seem to know me?"

Are we one world?

Did I do anything to you afterwards?

What an exciting concept!

Finally, Walter broke his silence.

"Yes, I know you, Fang Jie. But why do I know you?"

Walter nodded, then shook his head; to be honest, he was a little confused.

Looking at Fang Jie, his memory seemed to be split into two different lives, one that continued to this moment, and the other... abruptly ended yesterday.

The biggest difference lies in the fact that the one with a solution is still ongoing, moving towards the future...

But is it parallel, integrated, or replaced?

Is it manipulating one's own memory, or...?

Walter was in a state of utter confusion. Even though he was usually very determined, he was suddenly faced with this situation.

Fang Jie cannot see Walter's memories, only his expressions.

It’s not good. It’s not good.

He had complete faith in Walter, recognizing his character and abilities, while he himself... well, believed in himself.

But just like when you think your friend has kidney deficiency and goes to see a doctor, you see changes in the doctor's expression over time—

Phase 1: The smile disappears.

Phase Two: Repeatedly taking the pulse, with a furrowed brow.

Phase 3: Start flipping through the book.

Phase 4: When the book couldn't be found, they started calling for help.

Fifth stage: The person being addressed is no longer certain; they start calling him an old Chinese medicine doctor with gray hair.

Phase Six: The old Chinese medicine doctor starts flipping through the book.

Phase 7: The old Chinese medicine doctor begins to flip through the bamboo slips.

Stage 8: You appear in the book.

Walter took a deep breath, composed himself, and asked, "Hello, Fang Jie, right? Are you a traveler from the [End]?"

Having never heard of such a thing before, Walter could only associate it with the Star God.

Why do you ask that? I shouldn't be.

Fang Jie thought it was because he had told Dan Heng the reason for his 'second cycle', and answered earnestly.

"After all, that's a place the Star Gods have never set foot in, whether it's the [Void] or the [End]."

It's not just Honkai Impact 3, there's also Honkai Impact 2.

Even the greatest stars have their limits.

The universe is too vast, and distance is an objective reality that even the Star Gods can only gaze at it from afar and cannot reach it. At least, the [Pioneers] have never been to Onpharos.

"should."

Walter didn't like the answer, but often, people only get this kind of answer temporarily.

"So, it's [memory]?"

Fang Jie shook his head again, looking proud: "I am a self-destructor. I have recently become compatible with [Destruction] and am now trying to develop into an anonymous person."

Putting aside what he was so proud of, Walter frowned: "The Self-Destroyer, isn't it a Blood Sin Spirit?"

"..."

Fang Jie almost blurted out "Huh?" Who's spreading rumors? I've already fallen into the shadow of [nothingness], and they still want to kick me again!

His smile vanished abruptly, and looking at Walter's gradually calming expression, he saw no trace of joking.

"?"

No, you...
