Inside the large pit, Bai Yan looked around and saw nothing but scorched earth.
It's too deep here.
Just as he was about to get up, a red-haired head appeared at the edge of the pit. Half startled and half curious, he asked Bai Yan a question.
"Excuse me... who are you?"
Bai Yan recognized the voice and looked up.
"Himeko?"
"You know me?"
The man was also stunned.
Bai Yan quickly got up, jumped out of the pit, dusted himself off, looked around, and then locked onto a huge creature.
"..."
He turned to look at Himeko.
The latter was carrying a stack of books, dressed in college student attire, and had that uniquely clear and innocent look on his face...
"My name is Bai Yan,"
He said quickly, "It's a bit complicated, but I hope you can trust me. You keep fixing it, and I'll come and help. Once it's fixed, I just ask that you give me a ride."
Himeko stared at him blankly, feeling that although the latter was strange, he didn't seem like a bad person.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"Of course!"
Himeko then smiled and said, "Alright, let's repair it together!"
Chapter 301 Damn it, the Honkai is still chasing me! (The Finale)
"Your cappuccino."
"Thank you."
Himeko placed the coffee in front of Shirohiko and then slowly sat down opposite him.
Bai Yan stared at the screen in his hand, frowning as he fell into deep thought.
"I've never seen you with this expression before. Is something wrong?"
"Actually, this isn't the first time. On the contrary, I've seen far too many anomalies, like this giant vortex, which I simply can't understand."
He handed the screen over, and Himeko took it and looked at it, a look of confusion on her face.
"It looks like spatial fluctuations caused by some kind of cosmic ray?"
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before, even after thinking for a long time."
Bai Yan shook his head.
Himeko smiled and said, "It's been a year since the train started, and you haven't talked about your past in detail. But it seems like you've seen something unusual before, haven't you?"
In her view, this strange person who had fallen from the sky had nothing to be wary of except for his mysterious identity.
He has a very easygoing personality and is sometimes quite humorous. When traveling in space, he seems fearless no matter what he sees, as if he has no rivals in the universe.
However, the way he was so eager to get the train repaired and set sail made it seem like something was chasing him.
I've never seen this guy make a move. But if he's really that powerful, what terrifying thing is chasing him?
Himeko was a little curious.
"Back then, I was young and naive, and I did a lot of things that were reckless and frivolous."
After a moment of silence, Bai Yan spoke in a very heavy tone.
"You have a story? Would you like some coffee?"
"Never mind, never mind..."
"Then at least tell me, what terrifying thing is chasing you?"
Bai Yan paused, his expression briefly twisting.
Himeko became even more curious, sipping her coffee and waiting with great interest for him to continue.
Just then, Pam swayed and waddled over.
“Passenger Bai Yan, if you have any worries, don’t keep them to yourself. You can talk to Pam about them. Don’t be shy, Pam.”
As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder.
"Thank you, conductor... Just a moment, I'll go to my room to get some snacks. We can chat while we eat; it's a long story."
Pam's eyes flashed, and she nodded.
Bai Yan got up and disappeared behind the door.
"He's clearly much younger than me, so why does he act like he's a generation older than me?"
Himeko asked, puzzled.
"The planet where Bai Yan once lived was the site of a catastrophe that could have wiped out an entire civilization. He participated in the war against the catastrophe and won against Pa without losing any of his comrades—though the price of that final battle seemed to have left him somewhat embarrassed."
"Oh? Such an experience?!"
Himeko asked in surprise.
She then exclaimed, "They only talk to the train conductor...?"
Pam waved her short hand: "Passenger Bai Yan was willing to talk to me because he felt like he saw a friend from the past when he saw me."
"I'm afraid that's not the reason, because he also said that I look almost exactly like a friend of his."
"Oh? Is that so..."
As Pam was pondering, she was suddenly startled by something and looked out the car window.
"what happened?"
Ji Zi asked.
"Something unexpected is about to happen, but there's nothing dangerous."
Pam looked to the side.
A strange light gate gradually appeared in the distance, and as it slowly rotated, it began to make noise.
"Ugh! Damn it, the Void Treasury is actually—uh!"
Walter fell through the portal, landing on the ground with his glasses askew. When he looked up, he saw a strange pair of people and froze.
As he was still in a daze, another person walked out of the light gate.
Golden hair, white skin, that is, the vastness of space.
"It seems the experiment was a great success. As the first Divine Key to embark on a cosmic journey, I am truly honored. Ah! It seems this place is already occupied. My apologies, I am merely a traveler who has stumbled upon this place."
Walter quickly stood up, glanced at Void Treasury with considerable apprehension, and then looked at Himeko.
They look exactly the same, but are clearly not the same person.
The world is truly vast; to encounter two people so similar...
"I'm sorry to bother you. My name is Walter Young. I'm here because an experiment went wrong."
Himeko and Pam then introduced themselves.
However, the Void Treasury was not on the same wavelength as them.
The blond man strolled leisurely, glancing at the train as he walked.
He then said with a touch of pride, "This train is great, it can travel freely in the starry sky—is it the train's mascot? How interesting."
Noticing Pam, Void Repository inquired about Himeko with great interest.
Pam's voice lowered: "You can stay on the train, but you can't violate the train's regulations."
"Oh! It can actually talk, is it some kind of armed doll?"
"Well……"
Pam was getting a little angry.
Himeko put down her coffee cup and stood up.
"Trains are generally welcoming to passengers, but bad passengers are not allowed to stay here."
"Pam could easily kick this guy out, Pam!"
Void Treasury gestured with his hands, his face completely unconcerned: "Hey, don't take it so seriously, I just—"
The words came to an abrupt halt, and the blond man's gaze remained fixed in mid-air.
Bai Yan walked in carrying a bunch of snacks, glanced casually at Void Treasury, and then looked at Walter without any emotion.
Then, as if the two former Herrschers of Reason didn't exist, he placed the snacks on the table and patted Himeko and Pam on the shoulders, gesturing for them to sit down.
Seeing his attitude and glancing at the two people with strange expressions, Himeko had a premonition.
know?
"Long time no see, Alliance Leader."
"...So you really were here."
Walter murmured.
"What kind of experiment is this? Could it be that my coordinates are locked to it?"
Upon hearing this, Walter seemed to remember something and suddenly felt like laughing.
But I held back.
"Yes, that's right. Because of the contributions you made to two worlds, there's no shortage of material to pinpoint you from a causal perspective."
"Please sit down, this isn't some dragon's pool,"
Bai Yan led Walter to a seat and poured him a cup of coffee. "Why did those people send you here as a guinea pig?"
"I want to try it myself."
"As expected of you."
Himeko asked curiously, "Your friend?"
Bai Yan: "We're not actually that close, we just fought side by side once."
Walter recalled the time they "fought side by side," and then he wanted to laugh again.
"Oh?"
"Cough cough, he wasn't as strong back then as he is now, and I hadn't lost my power yet."
"I see... But speaking of which, why did that guy over there suddenly stop moving? Also, Bai Yan, you seem to be completely ignoring him, yet he looks like he's terrified of you?"
Himeko became increasingly curious.
Bai Yan didn't even glance at the Void Treasury, and said indifferently, "It's just an object, with built-in artificial intelligence. A friend of mine made it specifically to store data. It has some capabilities, but not many."
Walter lowered his gaze, thinking to himself that only a kid like him would have the confidence to say such a thing.
"object?"
Bai Yan didn't answer, but glanced at Void Treasury: "Let's just dismantle and remake things that don't work well. Anyway, it won't be troublesome to ask Wilvie, and she might even be happy about it."
Upon hearing this, the latter trembled uncontrollably, instantly transforming into a golden cube and flashing to Bai Yan's table.
Himeko immediately laughed: "What is this?"
"The disaster that struck our hometown is called the Honkai. In the last two cycles, fourteen Herrschers have descended upon it, and this thing was made from the core of the first Herrscher in the last cycle."
"I have traveled to that era and personally killed more than one Herrscher. In addition, the person who created it is quite familiar with me, so it's normal for this thing to be afraid of me."
After listening, Pam chewed on some snacks and mumbled, "Now that you've seen people from your hometown, why is Bai Yan becoming more and more worried?"
As if in response to Pam's question, a notification sound came from Walter.
He quickly took out an object, which was none other than Grinius.
