Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 342 The Long Night Moon

Upon hearing this, the fleeing figures suddenly froze in place.

They seemed genuinely stunned by the Black Swan's words.

When the pursuing shadow arrived, the shadows that had stopped vanished from the mirror like phantoms.

At this moment, in the dressing mirror on March 7th, only that lonely shadow remained.

"Miss Black Swan, what were those dark figures in the mirror just now...?"

As Lin Qiong turned around, he pointed to the mirror and asked the black swan behind him a question.

Upon hearing this, the Black Swan raised an eyebrow slightly, a meaningful smile curving her lips, and explained unhurriedly:

"A few rats that had sneaked in, and a guard who was responsible for chasing them away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Swan noticed that the doubt on Lin Qiong's face had only increased, so she added, "Don't worry, he will show up soon."

After saying that, she pointed to the full-length mirror, indicating that Lin Qiong should look in that direction.

Although Lin Qiong couldn't quite understand the Black Swan's riddle-like behavior, he still turned back to look at the mirror.

But the moment he turned around, a feeling of surprise surged through his entire body like an electric current.

The dark figure that had been left alone in the mirror had also vanished!

"Gone?"

Just when Lin Qiong thought that the dark figure would leave the dressing mirror like the other dark figures,

A faint sound of glass shattering suddenly rang out in the air.

Click.

Accompanied by this crisp sound.

Lin Qiong was startled and then noticed that a figure with its back to them had appeared in front of the dressing mirror.

Furthermore, this figure is exactly the same as his current state, both being in the form of a spiritual entity.

Upon seeing the person's back clearly, Lin Qiong's pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously called out the other person's name:

"Dan Heng!?"

The shouts erupted in the room on March 7th, drawing the attention of everyone present.

Just then, the spirit standing beside the mirror also turned its head upon hearing the sound, looking in the direction from which the call came.

In an instant, their eyes met.

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Lin Qiong's brows immediately relaxed, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

It really is Danheng!

"You're back too!"

Lin Qiong quickly stepped forward, his gaze lingering on Dan Heng for a moment before unconsciously drifting towards the full-length mirror behind him.

He stared at it for two seconds, only to find that the mirror was empty, reflecting nothing but the room's interior.

Lin Qiong then turned his gaze back to Dan Heng and asked, "Where's Xing? Didn't she come with you?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but he did not immediately respond.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Dan Heng pursed his lips, his expression becoming extremely solemn, and said:

"Xing... was kidnapped by an unidentified 'Memory' walker during the battle with the Fire Thief."

"What? Xing has been kidnapped?"

Upon hearing this unexpected news, Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback, and a look of doubt instantly appeared on his face.

His doubts deepened, especially after he learned that the Fire Thief was also present.

If he remembers correctly, wasn't the only enemy at that time Ragus?

Where did this fire-stealing wanderer come from?

Furthermore, given Xing's strength, would the "Memory" Walker dare to take her hostage?

It would be more appropriate to replace it with the "memory" command.

Just as Lin Qiong was puzzled by this, Dan Heng glanced at him subtly and then explained:

"Shortly after you left Onpharos, Star defeated Laigus with the help of the power of the Anchor of Knowledge."

"We successfully prevented it from using its administrator privileges to expel us from Onfaros."

“But…” Dan Heng’s tone shifted, and his voice became heavy.

"Not long after Lai Gushi was defeated, the Fire Thief appeared before us suddenly with Miss Sai Fei'er, who was in a coma."

Dan Heng paused, gathered his thoughts, and continued, "He took Miss Saifei'er hostage to coerce Ms. Aglaia into handing over the last spark of fire."

"And then? Did you give him the spark?" Lin Qiong couldn't contain himself and quickly asked.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly, denying it: "Ms. Aglaia has no intention of handing over the fire."

"She tried to communicate with the Fire-Stealer, drawing his attention from the front, while Bai'er launched a sudden attack when he wasn't looking."

"What was the result?" Lin Qiong continued to ask.

"Bai'er's sneak attack was very successful."

Danheng's narration remained steady, but his pace quickened slightly: "He successfully rescued Miss Saifeier, but also thoroughly enraged the Fire Thief Walker."

"So, over the next week, we fought countless battles with the Firewalker in Ohmar, but his strength far exceeded our expectations."

"Ultimately, in order to get rid of his entanglement, we can only try to go to the center of the cosmic vortex."

"The vortex of creation...that's a pretty good idea."

Lin Qiong nodded thoughtfully and praised, "Only the Golden Descendants and we know the way there, making it an excellent hiding place."

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Qiong belatedly noticed another detail.

"Wait a minute, you just said a week?"

“That’s right. A week has passed since you left Onfaros and I returned to the train.”

"No, no, wait a minute, this doesn't make any sense."

Lin Qiong frowned deeply, his expression of doubt becoming increasingly obvious.

"From the time I left Onfaros and returned to the train, to the time you appeared on the train, only five minutes had passed at most!"

"Is it because there is no night in Ohmma that you can't tell the time?"

Lin Qiong had barely finished speaking when Dan Heng, who hadn't even had a chance to respond, heard the sound of Luo Sigumu coming from the side.

"Reminder: Due to the influence of the Scepter Firewall, the flow of time in Onphalus differs significantly from that in the outside world."

"Calculations show that for every time the outside world goes through a system, the scepter will go through three months of time inside."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong and Dan Heng were both visibly stunned, clearly taken aback by Luo Sigu's explanation.

“I see. No wonder he said a week had passed when Danheng and I returned around the same time.”

Lin Qiong nodded in sudden realization.

After resolving this issue, Lin Qiong looked at Dan Heng again and continued the previous topic with a question:

"So, what happened after you went to the core of the cosmic vortex?"

"How was Xing kidnapped? And how did you get back?"

Dan Heng remained silent for a few seconds, then turned his head slightly to look at March 7, who was frozen on the bed by Liu Xiang.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke: "The Fire Thief... he used some unknown method to break into the heart of the cosmic vortex."

"As for me, I was forcibly dragged into another space by that 'Memory' traveler who looked remarkably similar to March."

As he spoke, Danheng's voice gradually lowered, and his pace slowed down.

There, she declared herself to be the true memory of March, and called herself...

"The Long Night Moon."
