Mei didn't see it, did she?
She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Raiden Mei wasn't looking in their direction, and glared at Ryouma fiercely.
How could you do such a thing in front of Mei! That's awful, I need to glare at you!
"Even if you defeat us, it won't make a difference."
Toppa stood up. "You should know that the company is a very large organization."
"A bunch of rotten fish and shrimp."
Luo Zhen said, "It's impossible for the Commander to take action. Below the Commander level, there's no point in me taking action."
He didn't care about the company's threats at all because he held a very effective trump card.
He said, "I know you can't make the decision, so I've connected you with someone who can."
With a slight exertion of force, the Key of Erosion automatically dialed a number from Toppa's personal terminal, connecting him with Emerald, one of the ten members of Stoneheart.
The purple-haired, mature woman's voice was languid: "Topa, you should be collecting company debts right now, right? Have you encountered some unexpected trouble?"
Topa was shocked. She hadn't operated her personal terminal at all. Luo Zhen had actually hacked into the terminal that the company had issued to her!
Chapter 87 Welt: The Honkai is still chasing me!
Emerald didn't see Toppa's face, but rather Luo Zhen's; her languid expression immediately turned serious.
"you are?"
"Lady Emerald".
Luo Zhen said, "I'm just informing you of something. Your company's employees have trespassed on my private property and I've taken them down. Of course, I treat prisoners well and won't mistreat them, but each person will receive 1 billion credits per day for food and lodging, with an interest rate of 10% per day."
"I know this is a bit much, but there's nothing I can do. That's just how the rules are in Belleburg. You can only blame yourselves for being careless."
"When you bring the ransom to redeem the people, I hope you'll remember to bring the cost of food and lodging as well. Otherwise, you'll stay here and become my prisoners as well."
"Don't feel like you're spending too much money if the process drags on. It just means you have a problem with your own abilities. I suggest you look for the reasons within yourselves."
After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and the power of the star core erupted, covering the planet again and blocking the connection between the surrounding star fields.
Inside the Interstellar Peace Corporation, Emerald looked at the screen that had lost signal but wasn't angry. The company had done far too many bad things, so it was normal for them to be retaliated against. After learning a little about the background of Toppa's debt collection, she understood why Luo Zhen had done this.
"Using company tactics against company tactics?"
That wasn't what she was focused on; rather, it was the methods Luo Zhen had demonstrated.
Why hasn't the company gone to collect its debts for seven hundred years? Because of the Star Core Disaster, the Star Core severed the path through the Star Sea, preventing the company from reaching it.
The universe is vast and boundless; without space travel technology, it would be impossible to travel to so many galaxies.
Moreover, many galaxies are closed off, and ordinary people simply cannot enter them.
It was the Star Train that opened up new paths, enabling the company to grow and become powerful, amassing wealth everywhere. Other civilizations in the universe also benefited from this expansion, allowing them to increase their influence and acquire resources.
The star core, known as the cancer of all realms, has the ability to block spatial jumps, and even the Star Train, which has the power to expand space, will be affected.
"Topa went to collect the debt because the obstruction of the star core disappeared, and the company regained the signal from Yalilo-VI. Just now, Yalilo-VI suffered another star core disaster, which blocked the signal again."
Emerald looked at the report in her hand. The company had the means to seal the star core, but the cost was considerable. In addition, Yalilo-VI was too remote, and it would be quite troublesome to get there.
"Moreover, this may not actually be a star core eruption."
After Luo Zhengang unilaterally informed her, the Star Core Disaster broke out. She did not think it was a coincidence: "He is capable of controlling the power of the Star Core. This is a technology that the company has never mastered. He must be an extraordinary person."
At this point, she matched Luo Zhen's face and also found Luo Zhen's identity:
"The Xuan Yuan Dragon Lord has also appeared at the Black Tower Space Station, and is suspected to have a relationship with the Wisdom Envoy. This is troublesome."
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to communicate with Xianzhou to see if there was any way to contact Luo Zhen.
She is now in a rather awkward situation. She wants to communicate with Luo Zhen and ask him to lift the blockade on the star core.
However, communication with Luo Zhen can only begin after the blockade is lifted.
As for Black Tower, she didn't even think about it; Black Tower wouldn't pay any attention to her.
She also saw passengers on the Star Train, but she didn't think that the Star Train would happen to pass by Arillow-VI.
Inside the Star Train, preparing to leave the Black Tower Space Station, Xing was somewhat reluctant:
"There are a few trash cans I haven't checked yet. I have a feeling there's something good inside, and I'm sure I'll find something!"
"Stop rummaging through the trash can!"
As a clean girl, March 7th was a little overwhelmed, "The trash can is so dirty, it will make you smelly."
Xing said, "It's okay, I won't dislike it."
"But I'll still dislike you!"
March 7th pinched Xing's cheek, "You look like a trash can!"
Xing said, "I understand, I was picked up from the trash can by March's mother!"
"Don't call me Mom, I'm still a young lady!"
March 7th never expected Xing's obsession to be so deep. Does she really want to inherit Luo Zhen's wealth?
"Alright, Little March, Star, it's time for us to set off."
Navigator Himeko said, "The train is about to depart. Remember to sit tight and hold on. Next stop, Yalilo-VI. According to the database, this is a rather beautiful planet."
After the Star Train's jump, and a fall on its backside on March 7th, the group saw a planet covered in ice and snow. Pam, a member of the train crew, approached:
"This place has been affected by the power of the star core. The Star Train will be indefinitely suspended. I don't know when it will be able to start again."
Walter pushed up his glasses: "Then it seems we need to seal the star core here."
After discussion, Danheng, March 7th, and Xing got off the train to explore the world, while Welt and Himeko stayed behind, though they would still keep an eye on the trio's adventure.
……
"So, that's your reason for searching through Belleburg's trash cans?"
Seeing the dirty star on his face, Luo Zhen sighed helplessly. After isolating himself from the outside world with the star core, he confiscated all the company's weapons and let Toppa roam freely. He then took Kiana and Raiden Mei to travel around. As a result, Seele found him and told him that a garbage can thief had appeared in the city.
March 7th clarified from the sidelines:
"Only she flipped it over; we didn't do anything. But I didn't expect to run into you here. Are you here to have some fun too?"
"No, this is my territory. I'm here to resolve this trouble."
Luo Zhen briefly recounted the entanglement between Bellberg and the company, leaving March 7th speechless:
"Seven hundred years of interest? That's outrageous! It's practically robbery!"
Dan Heng said, "Companies are often no different from robbers."
Xing's focus was different: "The entire planet, it's all yours? No wonder you're my father."
March 7th tapped her on the head: "Your intentions are too obvious."
Her outgoing personality quickly made her friends with Kiana and Raiden Mei, and she also became familiar with Bronya and Seele.
"The signal here is pretty good."
On March 7th, I took a picture with my camera, then took another one with my phone, and posted it in the train crew's group chat, tagging Walter.
March 7th: [Image] [Image]
March 7th: Uncle Yang, you'd never guess who I met. This planet actually belongs to Luo Zhen.
Walter: ?
Welt Yang sat by the window of the Star Train, his gaze falling on the photos sent on March 7th: Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya, Seele...
The sight of familiar faces made his fingers tremble, and his glasses almost slipped off.
He slowly took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with his sleeve, and checked again.
Where did this come from? Is this still Arillow-VI?
Walter: What are their names?
Perhaps they just look alike? The universe is so vast, there must be a few people who look alike, right?
However, when March 7th uttered those familiar names, his worldview was once again shaken:
"Same name?"
He turned to look at the red-haired woman beside him who was elegantly sipping her coffee. This woman not only looked like Himeko, but also shared the same name.
"It's not a big problem."
He tried to convince himself, "It's all a coincidence, just a coincidence."
As he reaffirmed his beliefs, another message came on March 7th:
"The previous guardian of this city was Cocolia, Bronya's adoptive mother. She was said to be a sinner against Beloberg, and almost destroyed Beloberg. This planet was almost destroyed by the disaster of the star core."
Walter slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, making the coffee cup jump. How could they be so similar?
The next second, his expression gradually became distorted.
No, this is the Honkai! The Honkai is chasing me!
He couldn't sit still any longer. If he didn't figure this out, he was afraid he would suffer from insomnia for a whole year, and even his hands would tremble when he tried to assemble the game!
So Walter rushed to Belleburg and finally got the answer from Rozen:
"You mean, among the many world bubbles created by the End, we belong to different world bubbles? They are Kiana and Mei from another world bubble?"
He felt he understood everything.
"In the world bubble you entered, everything was just beginning. You saved Changkong City and prevented Kiana from becoming the Herrscher of the Void."
"That's really great, at least it saved tens of millions of people."
He pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold glint.
"So, Otto from your world is still alive, right?"
His most admired idol died at the hands of Otto, and he himself was almost killed by Otto. Unfortunately, he never had the strength to kill Otto before he came to the Hōtetsu.
And now, the chance for revenge has finally arrived!
You inherently evil Otto, I'm coming to take you down!
