Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 140 The Fools Attack

The next day.

Lin Qiong, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, slowly got up, stepped out of the room, and walked into the living room of this temporary residence.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ying, Paimon, and Walter Young talking about something in the living room.

"Qiong, you're awake."

Walter Young was the first to notice his arrival and nodded in greeting.

"Yeah, just woke up," Lin Qiong replied, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he slowly walked over to the three of them. "What were you talking about just now?"

"Oh, we're making plans to go to Liyue!" Paimon replied excitedly.

He extended his index finger and began to explain Liyue to everyone in a clear and organized manner: "It is said that Liyue Harbor is one of the most prosperous ports on the Teyvat continent. It is not only the currency circulating in Teyvat,

The country where "Mora" is produced is a core hub for trade between merchants from various countries; perhaps there... we can find out news about Ying's brother.

Hearing this, Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback.

Are we about to set off for Liyue?

If he remembered correctly, there should still be some time before the "Invitation to the Immortals Ceremony" there.

After all, they resolved the Dvalin incident on their very first day in Mondstadt, which has resulted in a significant difference between the current timeline and the timeline in the main story.

"When do you plan to leave?" Lin Qiong asked.

To ensure the timeline remains consistent with the original storyline, he must find a way to keep Luminous and Paimon in Mondstadt until close to the start of the "Ceremony of the Summoning of the Gods".

Ying pondered for a moment, her gaze sweeping over Lin Qiong, Paimon, and Welt Yang, before saying, "Hmm... tomorrow then. I'd like to explore Mondstadt today..."

After speaking, she fixed her gaze on Lin Qiong and Walter Yang, a questioning look flashing in her eyes: "And what about you two? What are your plans next?"

"Let me check on my companions first."

Upon hearing this question, Walter Young took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked the screen, and skillfully opened the group chat interface of "Star Train Family".

He planned to first confirm whether Himeko and Danheng had completed the train inspection so that they could plan their next steps.

however.

Looking at the text that Himeko posted in the group chat, Walter Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

[In the sand next to the train's landing site, Danheng and I unexpectedly unearthed a perfectly intact satellite.]

He recognized every single word on the screen, but why couldn't he understand them when they were put together?

What does it mean to dig a satellite out of the sand? Is that correct?

Walter Young frowned, leaned closer to his phone screen, thinking he must have misread it.

After repeatedly confirming that the text was correct, Walter Young frowned even more.

Just as he was about to send a message to Himeko to ask her about it, he suddenly noticed that there was an attachment that Himeko had uploaded after this text.

"This must be a photograph, right?" Walter Young thought to himself.

With that in mind, he directly clicked on the attachment uploaded by Himeko, intending to figure out the meaning of that text.

But the moment the image loaded, Walter Young jumped to his feet, his face filled with disbelief.

The image does indeed show a satellite, although it is covered by a thin layer of dust.

But he could still recognize that this was the satellite that had completely restored the ecological environment of the Siberian Plain during the second collapse—the Fourth Divine Key.

"How is this possible..."

Looking at the photo posted by Himeko, Walter Yang immediately thought of a name closely related to the Fourth Divine Key.

“Muryota Ryusuke…” Walter Yang gripped his phone tightly, murmuring incredulously.

at the same time.

Seeing Walter Young stand up and stare intently at his phone screen, Lin Qiong couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Lin Qiong had never seen Walter Yang so out of control. His usual calm and reliable demeanor was now overwhelmed by anxiety.

"What did you see that surprised you so much..." Lin Qiong muttered to himself as he curiously pulled out his phone.

But when he clicked on the photo that Himeko had sent, his pupils dilated slightly, and he froze on the spot.

Looking at the satellite in the picture, Lin Qiong finally understood why Walter Young had been so surprised.

"So the satellite the system was referring to was this one? It actually got sent to the Star Train."

He initially thought the system had pocketed the reward, but it turns out he had wronged the system...

What's wrong with you all?

Just as Lin Qiong and Walter Yang were lost in their own thoughts, Paimon's voice suddenly brought them back from their reverie.

He had somehow floated above the two people's heads, looking left and right, seemingly trying to find out why they were in a daze.

Ying's gaze also held a hint of concern as she asked softly, "Has something happened? You all seem a bit off."

"It's nothing, just some old memories." Realizing his earlier lapse in composure, Walter Young coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.

"Yes, I was just thinking about something," Lin Qiong said with a smile, quickly putting his phone back in his pocket.

Seeing that the two were unwilling to explain the reason, Ying did not press them further.

So she then extended an invitation to the two of them: "Paymon and I are planning to go for a walk outside, would you like to come?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "Isn't this a chance to get Ying and Paimondo to stay in Mondstadt for a while?"

All you need to do is take these two people to Wendy and ask him to tell them that he had a chance encounter with Void in Mondstadt.

In that case, they might stay in Mondstadt for the time being to search for the Void...

"My plan was spot on!" Lin Qiong thought to himself with a smug smile.

“Great! I was just thinking of going out for a walk anyway.” With that in mind, Lin Qiong immediately agreed to Ying and Paimon’s invitation.

Seeing that Lin Qiong had already expressed his opinion, Ying turned to Walter Yang curiously and asked, "What about Mr. Walter?"

"I won't go. Xiao Sanyue and Xing haven't woken up yet, so I have to stay here and watch over them."

Upon hearing this, Walter Young smiled and shook his head, declining Ying's invitation.

After the discussion, Lin Qiong, Ying, and Paimon stepped out of their temporary residence and headed towards Mondstadt.

......

Inside Mondstadt.

As Lin Qiong and his two companions walked down the street, they noticed that Mondstadt was starting to become lively.

After the Tvalin incident was resolved, the residents regained their smiles and energy.

They left their homes and flocked to the streets and alleys, gathering in front of various shops to talk about the events of the previous day.

"Helping others solve their problems is such a joyful thing," Paimon remarked, looking around at the scene before him.

Before they knew it, Lin Qiong and his group arrived at the plaza where they had shot down the Wind Demon Dragon the day before.

Here, busy repairmen can be seen everywhere, rebuilding the buildings damaged by Stormterror. The deep crater that Stormterror created has long been filled in and covered with a new layer of stone bricks.

at this time.

Lin Qiong discovered a familiar green figure standing beneath the enormous statue of the wind god.

That was Wendy, surrounded by Mondstadt residents. The melodious sound of her harp drifted from the crowd, drawing the attention of Lin Qiong and his companions.

"It looks lively over there, let's go check it out!"

Curious Paimon excitedly tugged at Ying's arm, seemingly wanting to join in.

Then.

The three squeezed into the bustling crowd and came to the front to enjoy Wendy's singing and playing up close.

Guided by the sound of Wendina's harp, each story He narrated seemed to possess a magical power that made the listeners feel as if they were there, witnessing firsthand the moments when those ancient legends rose to prominence and fell into oblivion.

......

I don't know how much time passed.

A discordant shout suddenly rang out from behind the crowd, shattering the tranquility and harmony.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! This is the work of the Fools! All bystanders, get out of the way!"
