Chapter 343 The Train Conductor's Request
Chapter 343 The Train Conductor's Request
On the other side, in the observation carriage.
Hoshino, who drank Himeko's coffee, has been saved.
Thankfully, it was just a little laundry detergent added to the coffee; if it had been sugar, it would probably have been even more terrifying.
"Are you alright?" Himeko asked worriedly as Hoshi sat up.
Hoshi wiped the foam from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve and gave Himeko a thumbs up. "I'm fine!"
"Uh...it's good that you're alright." Himeko breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Pam walked in.
What are you doing?
"Cough cough, it's nothing." Himeko immediately stood up from the ground.
Xing reacted for a moment and stood up as well.
She's still lost in thought.
“Okay.” Pam nodded.
"By the way, Himeko, we need to have a flight route meeting. We've been staying in Luofu for too long." Pam walked up to Himeko.
Himeko thought for a moment, "Indeed, new passengers have boarded, it's time to set off."
"Okay, I'll go get someone right now."
Pam ran to the driver's seat with a "pat-pat" sound.
"So, what's our next stop?" Xing asked, puzzled.
“Pinocone. Remember? We were planning to go there before Kafka invited us,” Himeko replied.
"Pinocone?" At that moment, the train doors opened again.
Jing Yuan and Eve, who was holding a phone, walked in.
“I seem to have heard something about it, but I don’t remember the specifics. Could you please explain it to me, Miss Himeko?” Jingyuan said.
"According to the Train Think Tank, Pinocone was originally a prison star used by the company to exile criminals, at least at the time when it was recorded."
Himeko paused for a moment, then continued, "However, after the outbreak of the Star Core's multiverse cancer, it embraced the Hippe Harmony and was said to have been transformed into an incomparably prosperous dream kingdom."
"The 'family' is having a party there, and they sent invitations to the train. I was curious about what was going on, so I accepted the invitation."
“I see, the Kingdom of Dreams…” Jing Yuan nodded slightly.
Luo Fu's information was still too scarce; he only knew a little about Pinocchio.
"Once the train conductor has called everyone over, we can discuss heading to the next station," Himeko continued.
A short while later, following Pam's announcement, everyone arrived at the observation car.
Of course, except for Danheng.
However, since everyone already knew the destination of the next stop, this flight route meeting was not originally required, but Pam said that she had something important to announce.
March 7th looked at everyone with a puzzled expression and asked, "Has the train conductor not arrived yet?"
Himeko, seeing the figure still nowhere to be seen at the door, said with amusement, "Even Pam can be mysterious sometimes."
At this moment, Pam finally stepped into the observation car.
Pam cleared her throat. "Ahem, passengers, I apologize for keeping you waiting. Because it's something important, I, the train conductor, have taken some time to prepare."
"It's rare to see the train conductor speak up." March 7th changed his attitude from before.
"So what is it?" Xing asked curiously.
"As you all know, the train's destination is Pinocchio, the 'Star of the Events'."
"Yes, according to the original plan." March 7th nodded.
If they hadn't been unexpectedly taken to Luofu, they'd probably be vacationing in Pinocchio right now.
That's a world-renowned hotel! I can only imagine how comfortable it must be to stay there!
Pam's expression suddenly turned serious. "Although I know that everyone has been looking forward to the world-famous Star Hotel for a long time, there are three things I need to remind you of before we depart."
"First, Astera, where Pinocchio is located, is a galaxy rich in 'memory matter,' and historically it was one of the 'Great Holes' that leaked from the memory domain. Even after thousands of years, the concentration of memory matter in front of it remains above average."
"Normally there shouldn't be any major problems... but everyone's physical condition is different. If you experience dizziness, hallucinations, or memory disturbances, don't take it lightly!"
"Secondly, Pinocchio is the territory of the 'Harmony' family, and this is the first time the family has publicly extended an invitation to other factions. Remember, the train has been invited as a guest, and the rules must be followed."
March 7th nodded. "I understand, it's just a matter of adapting to local customs! Don't worry, conductor, we will definitely not embarrass the nameless passengers."
"I understand, if someone says something unpleasant, they'll be kicked out." Hoshino nodded in agreement.
"You're talking about family rules, not your rules!" March 7th was speechless.
“Yes, rules are meant to be broken,” Xing said seriously.
“Is it harmonious…” Eve murmured to herself.
The concept of "harmony" is somewhat similar to "life," but they are fundamentally different.
One is a group mentality, which requires individuals to be identical; the other is a set concept, which allows for individual differences.
Pam seemed to have gotten used to the abstract nature of the star and ignored her, continuing, "Finally, the third point, rather than a request... Pam would like to make a request to everyone."
"The train conductor's request?" Himeko was somewhat surprised.
"I didn't expect Pam to make a request?" March 7th was very curious.
“We will do our best to fulfill the train conductor’s request,” Walter Young nodded and said earnestly.
"What is it? Tell me about it," Xing asked curiously.
Jing Yuan didn't speak, but listened quietly from the side.
Pam paused, then said, "If possible—I hope you can take some time out of your vacation to help inquire about the 'nameless guests'."
"What nameless guest?" Xing asked curiously.
"Could it be that we're going to have new partners?" March 7th exclaimed with delight.
Himeko immediately understood what Pam meant when she heard his words.
“Let me explain,” Himeko stepped forward.
The crowd quieted down, waiting for Himeko's explanation.
"Like most worlds where the train stops, Pinocone was once a station on the Silver Rail. Thousands of years ago, it was the company's outpost prison, and it was the 'Pioneers' that connected it to the Thousand Stars."
"At that time, the Star Train also visited Pinocene—just as travel has its gatherings and partings, according to the train records, it seems that a few passengers chose to stay here, making Pinocene their final destination..."
