I'm going to the moon!
All of a sudden, I was going to space—to be sent to the moon!
Huai Shi was stunned for an entire year.
"Wait, isn't there something wrong with this itinerary?" he asked suspiciously. "Why are we going to the moon? Can't you just open a... portal?"
As he spoke, he made a circle with his hands. "Wouldn't we just whoosh straight to Helios?"
"Apologies. The Helios Chariot is currently stationed beyond the Earth-Moon space and lies outside the Three Great Blockades of the Present Realm. Neither Rainbow Bridge nor border transit can establish a connection. We can only travel there by the most fundamental physical means," Marcus replied calmly. "The entire journey is expected to take around four days. You will then be able to board the Helios Workshop."
Huai Shi's jaw was practically on the floor.
So it wasn't just a trip to the moon.
After reaching the moon, he still had to fly farther out?
That was fucking exciting.
The problem was, if something went wrong in the vastness of space, there would be nowhere to run. What if the ship exploded?!
At last, he understood Russell's strange expression when he had said he could run away.
"This... I'm just going to space like that? I haven't had any time to prepare myself!" Huai Shi tried to wriggle out of it. "I get seasick!"
"It's all right. We will provide motion sickness medication."
"Mine is pretty severe."
"We have sedatives."
"..."
"..."
In the silence, Huai Shi and Marcus stared at one another.
Brother, if you're this bad at conversation, we're going to kill the whole chat!
After a long while, Huai Shi rubbed his face and sighed first. "Seriously, can I back out now?"
He really was a little scared.
