Acheron: Keep This Up, and I'll Want to Tie You Up.

March 7th was also startled by Xing's mournful voice.

Although she was very unhappy to be accused of Crow again, the previous events had left a psychological shadow on March 7th.

They immediately chose to shut up, afraid that someone else would jump out and tell them something else.

They've been drawn into the incident and have no choice but to stay and work underhand for the genius; there's no escaping it now.

Seeing how pitiful March 7th looked, Lin Shuang reached out and patted her head.

Then he asked:

"So, why did you come down here with Asta's card?"

"Well, we were just curious about what you were doing, so we went to find Asta..."

March 7th chuckled and explained what had happened.

Lin Shuang originally thought that the matter was over with Asta.

Surprisingly, they actually got permission from the Herta before they came down.

So, is the Herta truly indifferent, or does it want to see what's actually happening down there?

Forget it, what's it to her?

Herta can't possibly have another argument with Ruan Mei.

These two aren't the type to argue about something like this.

"I understand, let's go up together now."

Are you coming back with us too?

Xing looked surprised, seemingly not expecting Lin Shuang to leave as well.

Lin Shuang glanced at Xing suspiciously. Was this guy planning to secretly follow her and spy on her?

"Because I've finished my work too. I came down today to clean up these Larva."

As she spoke, Lin Shuang glanced at her phone.

Ruan Mei just sent me a message saying that I can go and rest now.

Wait until the cocoon is almost hatching in a couple of days before coming down to complete the final experiment.

They took the two back to the Master Control Zone and saw that March 7th had returned Asta's ID Card.

Lin Shuang then turned to Xing and asked:

"Why did you go down there too? If I remember correctly, weren't you repairing that Train?"

After asking the question, Xing raised her hand and gave Lin Shuang a triumphant "Yay!"

"It's fixed!"

"So fast?"

Lin Shuang looked at Xing in surprise. It's only been a few days?

"It's mostly done, but the interior and powertrain components still need to be delivered from Azur Star, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Xing shrugged.

That kind of thing wasn't Xing's interest, mainly because she didn't know how to do it.

"That's great, much faster than I expected. I thought it would take a month or two."

Lin Shuang recalled the dilapidated state of the Train when it was dragged here.

She thought it would be quite difficult to fix.

Didn't expect it to be so fast?

"Then you've underestimated the Space Station a bit, Lin Shuang."

Suddenly, Asta peeked out and winked at Lin Shuang.

As a research institute at the forefront of science and technology.

While it may not be good at fighting, the Herta Space Station can show everyone what interstellar technology is when it comes to manufacturing and research.

It's just a Train; if it weren't for aesthetics, we wouldn't have directly adopted the minimalist style of Space Station.

In addition, the power components are not stored on the Space Station and need to be transported from Azur Star.

The remaining half-day is not needed.

Lin Shuang smiled sheepishly.

She did underestimate the industrialization capabilities of this era.

"May I go over and take a look?"

"Of course, no problem. The Train is already parked on the Platform. Once the remaining work is completed, we can begin trial runs."

"I'll go take a look first."

Although it was called a trial run, Asta wasn't actually that worried.

She asked Himeko about it privately.

Back then, Himeko was still on her own planet, and the tools, materials, and her own skills weren't particularly outstanding.

Even so, the Train successfully entered space.

And thus it underwent a transformation, evolving into a qualified Star Rail Express.

And then Paimon appeared.

Asta believed that this Train could do it too.

Lin Shuang actually shared similar thoughts.

The Star Rail Express's fuel is the power accumulated during its Trailblaze journey.

This technology is so advanced that it seems impossible for Himeko was still young back then, to have replicated it.

It is more likely that after the Train started running, it 'revived' itself and completed its self-repair using the repair materials.

Of course, Himeko's Trailblaze spirit may also have played a role.

This point also has value for verification.

Chapter 360 Acheron: You're making me want to tie you up.

Lin Shuang arrived at the Platform where the Train was stopped.

The newly renovated Train looks great; the entire surface of the Train looks polished and shiny.

Lin Shuang took a picture with her phone and sent it to Acheron.

Along with the photos, there were also Photos of the Train when it was still dilapidated.

[Lin Shuang: [Images][Images][Images]]

[Lin Shuang: Distinguished guest, congratulations! You have been selected as the new Navigator of the Star Rail Express and will soon become Train first passenger.]

[Lin Shuang: [clap]]

[Acheron:?]

[Acheron: This is... a damaged Train? And it looks like it's been eaten by Swarm.]

[Lin Shuang: You guessed pretty accurately, how did you know I snatched it back from a bunch of insects?]

[Acheron:...]

[Acheron: Where is the Swarm? Are you alright?]

[Acheron: You secretly took another risk without telling me?]

"... Is this the key point?"

Lin Shuang gave a helpless, bitter smile.

I'm showing you our Train and formally inviting you to be my first Train.

Is this your reaction??

[Lin Shuang:... Is this the time to discuss this? Why don't you look at the Train?!]

[Acheron: I saw it, but you are more important than the Train. Whether you're driving Train or a Spaceship, I will always be your passenger.]

[Acheron: But I don't want you to always be in danger; the terror of the Swarm far exceeds your imagination.]

[Acheron: The way you are makes me really want to keep you by my side every step of the way.]

[Lin Shuang:...]

[Lin Shuang: What kind of yandere statement is this?]

Far away in the Acheron, upon seeing Lin Shuang's sarcastic remark, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Having spent a lot of time with Lin Shuang, she understood what Lin Shuang meant by those words.

However, Acheron didn't care... she didn't consider herself a normal person either.

After all, it's about being able to crawl out of Nihility and become like yourself.

She doesn't consider herself a normal person.

That's nonsense.

Lin Shuang is probably the only one who thinks she's a normal person.

If others knew who he was, they would either be wary and afraid, or curious and inquisitive.

Anyway, they won't consider themselves a normal person.

I've never seen anyone treat me like an ordinary pretty girl before, like Lin Shuang.

Although he didn't say it, Acheron actually enjoyed this kind of time together.

Acheron lowered his head and replied to Lin Shuang:

[Acheron: Tell me what you've been up to lately?]

[Lin Shuang: Okay, okay, let me make a call.]

There have been quite a few things happening lately, not too many, but not too few either.

It's much more convenient to talk to Acheron directly; typing would take forever.

Lin Shuang, on the other hand, walked directly into the Train, which was still under renovation.

The Train maintenance Staff Member have all gone to rest.

We'll continue installation once the parts arrive; there's no one on the Train right now.

After Acheron's image appeared, Lin Shuang immediately noticed something strange.

Why isn't the projected scene behind Acheron in the wild anymore?

"Gepard, where are you...?"

"The Annihilation Gang's territory used to be the domain of the Jepella Brotherhood, but now it's the Ever-Flame Mansion."

"What are you doing there?"

Lin Shuang was taken aback.

Dude, it's not time yet, is it?

Why did you go to the Ever-Flame Mansion? You're not planning to kill Great Void, are you?

They haven't even provoked you yet.

"I learned when I passed through a certain Star System that the Annihilation Gang had also received Invitation from Penacony. And the Invitation is currently in the hands of the Ever-Flame Mansion."

Acheron spoke as if he had heard that someone next door had something special.

"So?"
