Chapter 135: Fu Xuan is truly reliable - Everyone in the Express crew is so good to me!
[ Battle End ]
March 7th let out a light breath.
She rubbed her arms.
Looked left and right.
The surroundings were still empty.
She seemed to feel a little cold.
She leaned against the corner.
Continued with the story.
At the end of the originally strange object collection room, a new room had opened.
Besides Dan Heng, who had disappeared at the beginning, reappearing here, a new character had also appeared!
March 7th immediately recognized them.
" The [ Messenger ] from the Garden of Recollection!?"
She had naturally never seen a Messenger in reality, but she knew through the game that such beings existed.
This [ Messenger ] also spoke, advising: " Miss March, please do not continue to retrace the past."
" Leave the Matrix of Prescience and return to reality. The past is not worth exploring, and the result will only cause you harm."
" You're the one who should leave, I won't let go!" Her attitude was very firm.
At this moment.
The voice of Fu Xuan, who had disappeared before, came again.
And like a divine soldier descending from the heavens! Appeared before March 7th in a physical form.
" Garden of Recollection? Are you one of the Remembrance Lord's people? Were you the one blocking my observation?"
" What are your intentions towards this girl? No matter what thoughts you harbor... stealing others' memories like this, like leaves obstructing the eyes, fooling others— "
" I cannot agree!"
March 7th's eyes lit up!
Fu Xuan's entrance was too cool!
Right at the moment she needed help the most!
This small figure seemed to possess immense security at this moment.
March 7th secretly sighed in her heart.
From now on.
Her attitude towards Fu Xuan had completely changed!
From the talkative, long-winded Fu Xuan she was before, she had become the extremely reliable Master Diviner!
After Fu Xuan finished speaking.
The [ Messenger ] sighed: " We can only resort to extraordinary measures."
Fu Xuan was not to be outdone: " Miss March, it might be a little uncomfortable next. This Master will intervene in your memory world and help you clear the obstacles."
[ Battle Start ]
Fortunately.
The enemies appearing in these battles were all enemies she had defeated before, such as the Voidranger from the Antimatter Legion.
Although the current team was called a Quantum Battleship, it was still missing a Quantum Harmony character to be a true pure Quantum team.
However, it had no problem dealing with most situations.
The character [ Fu Xuan ] was also very easy to use.
March 7th planned to at least pull a 0+1 Fu Xuan after this mission ended.
Thinking this.
That strange feeling seemed to have been lessened quite a bit.
After the battle ended.
The surrounding scene also changed.
This time.
It changed from the Space Station to the Star Rail's passenger car.
March 7th couldn't help but look up at the location of the carriage door.
Now the game's story was the same as her current environment.
The sense of immersion instantly kicked in.
Fortunately, Fu Xuan was still there, facing her.
" Thanks "
Fu Xuan said firmly: " Hmph, I promised to look after you. Moreover, I am indebted to the Omniscient Lord and absolutely cannot tolerate anyone setting up obstacles to prevent others from exploring the truth."
" That person just now said they were a Messenger from the Garden of Recollection. Garden of Recollection... why would they obstruct me?"
Fu Xuan said: " There are quite a few people with different intentions in the Garden of Recollection. Just reporting their identity doesn't confirm the reason."
" This should be the Star Rail Express, right? It seems you are about to retrace the source of your experiences. By then, the Great Expansion Matrix can begin its calculations."
" Do you remember where you were found?"
" They... placed the ice block that sealed me in the passenger car where I live now."
" Then go through this train carriage and find your room."
March 7th began to move within the carriage.
The usually cozy carriage felt a bit strange at this time.
March 7th couldn't quite say what was strange about it.
It might be related to the strange atmosphere she felt while playing the story.
Up until now, Uncle Yang and Himeko, as well as Stelle, hadn't made any movements.
Where could they have gone?
Suddenly.
A sharp noise came from the screen.
The screen was completely filled with static.
" Ah!!!"
March 7th was startled.
She almost threw her phone away.
Fortunately, her last bit of sanity kept her from letting go.
Looking at the game.
This seemed to have entered a segment of memory.
The screen was covered with an old, yellowish filter.
" Hoo..."
March patted her chest, sighing in relief.
This memory mission of hers was too weird!
It was like a horror movie playing at midnight!
In the memory.
First to appear was Uncle Yang.
" Dan Heng, let's open this ice block together... the person inside might still be saved."
Walking forward two steps.
Himeko's figure appeared.
" Be careful, don't hurt her..."
Dan Heng said: " I know what I'm doing. Pom-Pom, go get the first-aid kit."
" Going now, Pom!"
March 7th: " This is... the memory of when I was found by the Express crew? But I don't remember it myself?"
Fu Xuan: " You remember many things, you just don't know it yourself."
Seeing this experience of being rescued from a third-person perspective truly felt different.
March 7th licked her lips.
Her heart beat a little faster.
She was somewhat impatient to enter the next scene.
However.
Just as she opened the connecting door between carriages, she found herself back at the starting point!
Continue forward.
While moving within the carriage.
A voice kept resounding in the background. With a tone of urgent pleading.
" Don't look back, keep moving forward."
" Don't look back, keep moving forward."
" Don't look back, keep moving forward."
March 7th understood.
This was the [ Messenger ] interfering with her actions again.
She couldn't help but shrug.
She muttered to herself: " Why is this [ Messenger ] acting like a ghost..."
As soon as the words left her mouth.
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to become even colder.
Psychological effect!
Right!
It must be my own psychological effect!
By the window in the corridor.
Himeko's figure appeared.
She muttered to herself, looking out at the stars: " What sealed that child seems like ice, but it doesn't have the physical properties of ice... that's really strange."
" These crystals exhibit at least six crystalline structures under different conditions... Six-Phase Ice, the galaxy is truly a profound mystery."
March 7th said in a low voice: " Sister Himeko, I'm in a hurry, so I won't chat much..."
Interacting with the connecting door.
Sure enough.
Without any surprise, she was back at the starting point again!
" I'm really trapped in this space..."
March 7th was startled.
She looked around herself again.
How did it feel so similar to her situation in the game's story!
Could it be that she was actually in someone's [ memory ] right now?
" No, no... impossible!"
" The real world is unique and constant!"
" If I doubt this, it's equivalent to doubting my own existence..."
This time, the characters appearing in the carriage also changed.
It became Uncle Yang and Pom-Pom.
Uncle Yang said: " Of course, I hope to take her in... or rather, based on the most basic moral judgment, the conclusion is that since we found her, we must take good care of her."
" However, I'm also very worried about whether this choice will bring trouble to the Star Rail Express..."
Pom-Pom replied: " The Star Rail Express welcomes everyone, Pom! Don't worry, just make the most correct choice at the moment, and Pom-Pom will be responsible for all subsequent problems, Pom!"
" With your words... I can probably feel a bit more at ease. I just hope she can live comfortably on the Express and not be scared by us weirdos..."
" Don't worry, Pom! Pom-Pom said it, the Train welcomes everyone, Pom!"
Seeing this conversation.
March 7th's originally tense mood relaxed slightly.
Wuwuwu...
Uncle Yang is so good!
Pom-Pom is also very reliable! When I finish this story segment, I'll definitely give you a big hug!
Suddenly.
March 7th thought.
The [ Messenger ]'s voice kept telling her not to look back.
So!
What would happen if she deliberately looked back?
She turned her view.
Came to the back.
March 7th opened her eyes just a slit, afraid of seeing something scary.
Fortunately, there was nothing scary but the carriage connecting door at the starting point.
Selected [ Open Door ].
The screen shifted.
A warm scene came into view.
Pink walls, various photos and decorations, items scattered around...
That's right.
The scene after opening the door was none other than March 7th's own room! It was exactly the same as the room in her memory.
The only difference was.
In the very center, a piece of shimmering ice was suspended.
Fu Xuan said: " This is probably the anomaly... It seems our exploration journey has finally reached its last step. This Master will confirm one last time—are you sure you want to explore your lost past?"
Things had reached this point.
No matter what, she had to continue!
" Trailblazers must never turn back, even when turning back!"
March 7th extended her finger.
Ready to tap the [ Hmm... I'm sure ] dialogue option.
At this moment.
The unseen [ Messenger ] surrounding her.
All stood up in unison!
Some had their hands already turned transparent, ready to reach out to March 7th at any moment!
" Cannot confirm whether the following story hides the [ truth ]... Must block her memory."
" This segment of memory, she alone cannot remember it, now is not the time!"
The [ Messenger ] stepped forward.
Blocking the way beside March 7th.
Although wearing a mask, one could still feel the determination beneath it.
" Everyone, you saw it in the story just now."
" [ I ], have already obstructed her in this segment of memory."
" Just as we are doing now, at this final crucial moment, the me in the game will also do everything possible to make her understand the Garden of Recollection's intention and stop her from continuing to explore."
" So, everyone, please trust [ me ]."
All the [ Messengers ] fell silent.
But the [ Messenger ]'s words clearly had an effect.
They did not take the next step.
At the same time.
March 7th tapped the dialogue option!
