"Then, for this Trailblazing journey, let it be me, Stelle, Xiao Xi, and March 7th," Welt said upon seeing the situation.
"Since the passengers have already decided, the conductor will now steer the train to change course. Pom-Pom wishes all passengers a smooth journey, Pom!" Seeing that we had made our decision, the conductor headed toward the control room.
"Alright!" March 7th made a gesture to cheer herself on. "Then, destination: Luofu Xianzhou. Let's set off!"
With a familiar tremor, the train set off toward the Luofu Xianzhou.
"I have a feeling this trip won't be peaceful," Stelle said, looking somewhat worried.
Everyone on the train had been rendered a bit silent by the previous turn of events; only the naturally lively March 7th could add a touch of brightness to the atmosphere.
After traveling for a while, the train gradually slowed down and finally came to a stop outside the port of the Xianzhou Luofu.
"Is that the Xianzhou? It's practically bigger than a planet," March 7th exclaimed in wonder.
"To the people of the Xianzhou, this ship is their planet..." Although Dan Heng tried his best to maintain a flat tone, his words carried a hint of tension.
Beside them, Himeko was attempting to establish contact with the personnel responsible for docking at the port.
However, the response from the Xianzhou side was incredibly strange.
"Welcome to..., please wait patiently,... Please..."
"What's going on with the Luofu? Did something happen?" Xiao Xi asked, frowning.
"It seems so. Everyone, be prepared. Judging by the current situation, it looks like something has truly gone wrong on the Luofu," Himeko sighed, speaking with a heavy heart.
"We will wait here for half an hour. If there is no response from the Jade Gate, the train will return immediately."
"Mm! Alright." After waiting for a while, just as everyone was preparing to turn back, the Jade Gate finally responded.
Yet, the response seemed exceptionally formal. Such a reply would be fine under normal circumstances, but in this situation, it felt rather odd.
However, since the other party had responded, everyone decided to go down and check the situation before making further decisions.
As they gradually approached, Dan Heng took a quiet look at the Xianzhou before turning around and returning to his room.
Watching Dan Heng walk away, March 7th whispered to us, "If we have the chance, let's ask around the Luofu about Dan Heng's past... We've been together for so long, and Dan Heng isn't a bad person."
"There must be a reason why things ended up like this with his home. If we learn more, we can try to help him resolve his inner conflict. Otherwise, seeing Dan Heng like this makes me feel terrible too."
"Little March is very caring toward her companions," Himeko said with a gratified smile.
"Then we shall prepare to depart. Himeko, I'll leave the train in your care." Welt nodded gently. "I will also keep an eye out regarding Dan Heng's situation."
"Mm. I'm afraid this Trailblazing journey won't be as simple as the last one. Welt, please take good care of everyone."
Seeing that we were about to leave, Pom-Pom also offered a blessing, "Passengers, have a safe journey. You must all come back safely, Pom!"
As everyone passed through the port to enter the Luofu, Dan Heng sent a message to everyone via his phone.
[Dan Heng]: Everyone, the man who appeared behind Kafka earlier is very dangerous. If you encounter him, remember to be careful.
