Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 281 Stop Helping?

At this moment, Xing is still deeply mired in the unknown trials of Oronis, and there is no sign of his return.

And within the cosmic vortex—

The almost stagnant silence that had been permeating the air was now completely shattered by the heavy atmosphere.

At that moment, Lin Qiong and the others looked wary, huddled together in tacit understanding, their muscles tense, staring intently at the figure in front of them.

Lai Gushi stood opposite them, like a silent stone.

It raised its hands high above its head and maintained this posture without making any unnecessary movements, as if time itself had stopped for it at that moment.

Aglaia's expression was cold and stern as she held her rapier level, pressing the tip against Laigus's throat.

If she had pushed it forward just half an inch more, the sharp rapier could have easily taken her life.

However, faced with this imminent threat of death, Rigus remained remarkably calm.

It was as if it was already certain that Aglaia would not actually kill him.

"...call."

After several changes in expression, Aglaia slowly let out a long breath and put away the golden rapier in her hand.

"Now, state your purpose."

"I will decide whether to punish you based on your answers."

"Of course, I will do my best to answer all your questions."

Lai Gushi bowed slightly, gracefully greeting everyone present.

Then, it looked up and surveyed the crowd, finally shifting its gaze from Aglaia to Lin Qiong beside it.

"However, before that, I need to ask these friends from outer space a small question."

"Hmm? Us?" Lin Qiong raised an eyebrow, pointing to himself. "What questions can we answer for you?"

"If you're asking about the outside world, that's not something that can be explained in just a few words."

As he spoke, Lin Qiong met the gaze that Gu Shi cast at him, looking the intelligent machine, whose body was only covered in purple, white, and gold, up and down.

Although he couldn't understand why there would be intelligent machines in a place like Onfaros, where the technology tree was almost non-existent.

But in any case, the other party should be in a similar situation to Aglaia and the others, all being native inhabitants of this world.

In other words, they knew almost nothing about the outside world.

However, just as Lin Qiong was thinking this...

Laigushi, however, seemed to read his mind, and a slightly awkward yet mechanical voice emanated from the sound-producing component:

"No, the question I want to ask is actually very simple."

As he spoke, Lai Gushi snapped his fingers.

With a sound, a pale blue light screen slowly appeared in front of it, and on the light screen flickered an image that Lin Qiong felt very familiar with.

Those are images of the scene where the train carriages fell!

Before Lin Qiong could react, Lai Gushi's voice rang out again:

"Suppose I could repair your train and restore it to its original condition, would you leave Onpharos and promise not to interfere with the workings of this world again?"

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene instantly plummeted to freezing point.

At this moment, not only Lin Qiong, but everyone present showed varying degrees of astonishment.

Especially the few Golden Descendants present.

When Lai Gushi so blatantly broke the alliance, the group's faces instantly contorted with anger after they came to their senses.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Qiong frowned, looked up from the light screen, and stared directly at the ancient scholar, asking:

"What do you mean?"

"As the words say, I hope you will stop supporting the Fire Chaser mission."

Ignoring the stares of others, Lai Gushi patiently continued explaining, "At that time, I promise you will leave this world safely..."

"Stop, stop, stop right now."

Lin Qiong raised his hand to make a pause gesture, interrupting Lai Gushi's words, "Let's not talk about leaving this world for now."

As he spoke, his gaze swept back and forth over Lai Gushi.

Even if you are essentially an android...

“They are Antikythera people,” Lycus corrected calmly.

"Fine, even if you're someone Antikythecus's man, what are you planning to use to repair the carriage? Disassemble yourself into parts?"

Lai Gushi shook his head slightly. "No, the Antikythera people have always been sensitive to mechanical structures."

“I have already conducted a preliminary inspection of your carriage, and the results show that only the outer casing of the propulsion unit was damaged.”

"Even if you find the problem, how are you going to fix it?" Lin Qiong asked, puzzled.

Lai Gushi continued in a calm voice:

“With the skills of the Ohmma craftsmen, it is not difficult to recreate a replacement shell.”

Hey! You know what?!

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong suddenly remembered that there was indeed a blacksmith shop with excellent skills in the Yunshi Market.

It seems that Danheng's damaged spear was repaired there.
