Raiden Mei, Lin Shuang's First Passenger.

March 7th peered out the car window and waved to Asta.

She and her team towed this repaired Train back!

As for Gepard, she sat next to Lin Shuang, gazing at the distant starry sky through the car window.

"The scenery inside the Train is truly amazing."

"I'm planning to go check out the engine room too, what about you?"

Lin Shuang was very curious about how the Star Rail Express started, so she planned to watch it with Herta.

I'll go too.

Gepard didn't hesitate at all. She had just said this place was beautiful, but when she heard that Lin Shuang was going somewhere else, she immediately abandoned it.

As for March 7th and Xing, they had already gone to the back carriages to visit.

They said that if you choose a room on one of these two Train, you'll have someone to sleep on either side later.

Lin Shuang ignored the two of them and walked straight to the front of the car.

The new engine model couldn't be adapted in time, so it was simply fixed inside the cabin.

Its main body is visible as soon as you enter.

Numerous pipes were connected to the surrounding walls, but their purpose was unclear.

Lin Shuang found the busy manager here, and Herta standing by waiting.

"Oh, you've arrived."

Herta glanced at Lin Shuang and nodded.

The person in charge then said to Lin Shuang:

"I was just about to come find you. The Train is ready and can be ignited for testing at any time."

"Thank you for your help. Let's begin now."

"Okay!"

The front of the car has a retro feel to it.

To put it bluntly, you can't even find a control lever.

The engine was even started by the person in charge connecting two wires to an external controller.

Boom--

A buzzing sound accompanied the vibrations beneath my feet.

Looking out the window at the front of the train, the Train had already begun to be pushed and accelerated towards the Platform.

Within seconds, it accelerated to a certain speed and flew out of the Space Station!

The Train's wheels derailed, and the sound of the train hitting the rails suddenly disappeared.

"The Train has detached from the Space Station's orbit and officially entered the vacuum environment."

The person in charge continued broadcasting, but the next second, their excited tone turned into one of terror:

"Wait, wait, wait—the train is deviating from its course!! I can't control the engine, Train's going to be captured by Azur Star!! Should we accelerate?"

370

Chapter 370 Raiden Gepard, Lin Shuang's First Passenger.

The power provided by the latest Spaceship engines is naturally sufficient to propel a Train through space.

And it is not captured by the gravity of any celestial body.

However, the problem lies in the unique nature of the Star Rail Express itself; during the renovation, in order to ensure its integrity...

Many of the devices used on Spaceship for calibration and maintaining stability are difficult to replicate on Train.

And...

There were none of these things that only Spaceship have on Himeko's Train.

We've already exerted enough force; if we wanted to continue accelerating, we could escape the grasp of gravity.

The problem was that the locomotive was out of control, and they couldn't control it at that speed using the very old-fashioned control levers that were on the Train.

The person in charge doesn't even dare to accelerate the process now.

Lin Shuang emitted Threads, fixing everyone present in place.

From her perspective, the Train's engine was indeed twisting left and right, hurtling towards Azur Star.

Lin Shuang was ready to seize control, using her [Riding] skill to forcibly change the direction of the Train.

"Wait a minute, Lin Shuang! Don't do that yet!"

As if it were a prophetic vision, Herta suddenly turned its head and called Lin Shuang to a halt.

Then he shouted:

"Keep accelerating!"

"What? Accelerate? Ms. Herta, are you sure you want to accelerate?! The front of the car is already out of control—"

"Stop talking nonsense, speed up when I tell you to!"

Herta bypassed the still hesitant person in charge and personally increased the engine output instantly.

Rumble--

Because of the sudden increase in power, the entire Train began to vibrate at a high frequency.

Accompanied by the roar of engines.

The entire Train was subjected to extremely exaggerated vibrations due to the sudden surge in acceleration.

On the other side, March 7th and Xing were thrown out, staggering and swaying inside the carriage in a chaotic mess.

Gepard instinctively reached out and grabbed Lin Shuang's hand.

Lin Shuang glanced out the car window again.

The Train accelerated enough, but once it stabilized, it inevitably hurtled headlong towards Azur Star.

"Herta, are you confident?"

Lin Shuang frowned and asked a question, but Herta replied very easily:

"I don't know."

"Ah?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? How could I possibly know about the Trailblaze? I was just taking a gamble."

The Herta, irresponsibly Threads in mid-air by the silken threads, stood with its hands on its hips, waiting with great interest for a miracle.

The person in charge next to him had already closed his eyes, praying that his death wouldn't be too gruesome.

But just then...

A power, of unknown origin, suddenly erupted before Lin Shuang—

Immediately afterwards, excited shouts from Herta echoed throughout the entire carriage:

"It's here! I guessed right, haha! It's the power of Trailblaze! Lin Shuang, look! The power of Trailblaze is encroaching on the entire engine room!!"

"I saw it! I saw it!"

Lin Shuang's eyes widened at this moment, feeling a power that was quite approachable to Lin Shuang.

It just suddenly erupted in the center of the room and visibly seeped into the engine.

The entire engine began to emit a white light.

A click.

The nuclear battery that was stuck inside the device was forcibly ejected.

The entire energy supply system was forcibly stripped away and left to fall to the ground.

The engine, which had been standing in the center of the cabin, underwent an inexplicable change and rapidly retracted into the floor.

Meanwhile, the Train's vibrations began to stabilize rapidly after the engine was swallowed.

The car turned around as desired and soared back into the starry sky.

The person in charge was completely dumbfounded.

This scene truly challenged his worldview as a researcher.

"My God... God help me, is this... this is the Star Rail Express...?"

This Train... devoured the entire engine, and even disconnected its own power supply, sailing without any energy.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who could I complain to?

A gentle, non-glaring light enveloped everyone present.

They also restored the entire interior of the car to its original retro look.

All the cables that had been connected were broken and fell to the ground.

Then, the light gradually receded, transforming into a creature less than half a person's height.

"Passenger Lin Shuang, I knew it was you! You were so careless starting the Train!"

Before the light had even faded, Paimon's voice rang out.

The familiar, nagging voice of Paimon rang out here.

"Conductor?"

"Thank you for repairing the second Star Rail Express!"

As the light faded, Paimon, wearing a tall hat, waved happily at Lin Shuang.

The Herta stood there dumbfounded, all of the puppet's computing power being used to analyze the scene it had just witnessed.

As for the person in charge of repairing the Train, he was now at a loss for how to write a report.

As for Lin Shuang...

"Paimon, did you come all the way from Himeko's side to this side? Can you jump between the two sides at will?"

"Huh? Of course not Pa! If it were just me, how could I have taken care of Pa back when there was a whole team!"

Paimon waved her hand forcefully and slapped away Gepard that was trying to pinch her ear.

"I exist on both Train simultaneously, so you can see me on either one, Pa."

"You can do that??"

Lin Shuang was greatly puzzled. Could Paimon really be a sentient being from the Star Rail Express?

Just then, the Herta suddenly spoke up:

"Is that so...? So, multiple bodies exist simultaneously, and both Remembrance and what one sees and hears are synchronized in real time?"

"Why is Ms. Herta here too? It's like this, isn't it?"

Paimon nodded, then turned to leave.

"I'll go clean this Train, and while I'm at it, see if any of the March 7th passengers have caused any trouble here."

Herta didn't stop her, but stared thoughtfully at Paimon's retreating figure.

Lin Shuang asked curiously:

What did you figure out?

"I have a clue, but I can't explain it in a short time. I'll go study it first. Remember to return my doll to the Space Station."

After saying that, the Herta Puppet fell silent.

The person in charge and Lin Shuang, who were standing to the side, were both speechless at Herta's actions.

"In short, the experiment was a success. Let's send you back to the Space Station now."

Lin Shuang spoke to the person in charge, then turned and called to Paimon, instructing her to take the Train back to the Space Station first.
