Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 251 Black Swan: Curiosity, Keep Searching

Walter didn't quite understand.

"For you?"

Huang Quan nodded: "The 'cause and effect' of the hunt connects the future with the past, and for me, for a wanderer who cannot return to Pinocchio, it shows the future of the Star of the Grand Gathering."

"But that's not the 'Cloud' we know now."

Huang Quan repeated, "Not the current Yun Zhi."

Walter pondered for a moment:

"Are you saying that the future, in some way, showed the future to your past self?"

"Yes."

Huang Quan nodded: "It's amazing, isn't it?"

Walter closed his eyes briefly: "You said it yourself, this is his future self, which means he doesn't know about this now."

Huang Quan nodded: "So, I didn't give any hints about it."

In order to avoid disrupting Yunzhi's thinking and causing him to make wrong judgments.

But the fact that Yunzhi still retains that memory means that he hasn't taken any action yet.

"Therefore, I want to cooperate with you."

Huang Quan didn't continue talking about Yun Zhi, but instead brought up another aspect: "Pinocchio's past is closely related to [Pioneer]. I can't say much about it now, but the source of all the tragedies lies within the family, as you already know."

"A traitor to the family...?"

Huang Quan nodded: "Before everything is over, I think we can go and find that 'traitor' together—if you're willing to trust me."

On that face that looked exactly like someone he knew, Walter managed to discern "sincerity."

Regardless of how he gleaned it from that expressionless face, Walter was about to act alongside Huang Quan.

"By the way, would you like something to drink?"

Huang Quan seemed pleased that Walter had agreed to her request for cooperation: "Before we set off, how about two 'Awakening from a Dream' drinks? No, four, please."

The GG brand of alcoholic beverages was not far away, glowing faintly.

"Because the conversation that follows will last a long time..."

--------------

Everyone is taking action.

The Black Swan—she appeared in a hotel room in reality.

She looked around.

"The actual guest room is surprisingly simple—just like your appearance, Miss Huang Quan."

It is obvious that even though the black swan was almost swallowed by the black hole because of the memory of touching the underworld, it could not put down its curiosity.

So she entered the guest room in the underworld.

"It came to us effortlessly; it was this music box—the invitation the Annihilation Gang received."

She looked at something on the table.

The invitation was obtained by Huang Quan after he killed the Grand Duke of Minghuo.

The first messenger said that Grand Duke of the Underworld was dead, which everyone knew. What he said afterward... arrived in Pinocchio one after another. Black Swan admitted that he didn't understand.

Perhaps it's a secret code for "pioneering"?

She found the music box in order to find out everything that happened before the disappearance of Grand Duke of the Underworld and his offspring.

But she was destined to be disappointed.

【Void】Destiny is too overpowered; it can devour too many things. Even if the Black Swan finds the music box, it will be difficult to get what it wants from it.

All I can get are some vague memories.

The recall of the memory went smoothly at first.

But soon, she could no longer get anything from it.

It is true that the music box fell into the hands of the underworld and brought Pinocchio, but Black Swan could not extract any information about the process in between.

She was shocked.

Just as the black swan began brainstorming, trying to guess who had erased the memories,

A sound suddenly came from inside the music box:

"Who are you……"

The black swan was taken aback.

The voice became clearer: "—Who are you?"

The black swan admitted that it was startled.

This doesn't seem like a memory?

"A Memory Master? Are you a servant of the Flowing Light Memory Court, or a Creator of Incineration?"

"My name is Constantine. It's a pleasure to meet you. We should have met in Pinocchio and spent an unforgettable time together."

"But that seems impossible. The Star of the Party doesn't welcome dahlias, and I don't need a coming-of-age ceremony. And you, I know what you're looking for."

"Want her secret? I can give it to you, and then, enjoy that party for me."

May you have unforgettable memories.

The black swan warily surveyed its surroundings.

The sound quickly disappeared.

The phone suddenly rang in the empty room, sounding abrupt and somewhat eerie.

What is this?

Black Swan looked at the somewhat old-fashioned landline phone.

"Would you like to listen?"

She answered the phone.

Simply because I'm too curious.

The moment the call was answered, an exceptionally arrogant voice burst out—

"Long time no see! Did you have fun at Pinocchio, Huang Quan?"

The black swan remained silent.

This voice is not Constance's.

"Although I don't know what you are or what you're up to... my bullets will find you soon. Until then, you'd better find a coffin shop and ask the owner to leave you a good one, you imposter!"

The black swan smiled.

"Who are you?"

"Huh? Did I dial the wrong number? And who are you, my goodness?"

Black Swan: ...? ? ?

I want to laugh, but I can't; my public persona is what it is.

"I am the one who remembers in the Flowing Light Memory Courtyard."

The person on the other end seems to have misunderstood:

"Hmph, not bad, I like tough guys like this. Are you that guy's bodyguard? Or someone else? Whatever, I'll leave you a bullet too. Get your head clean and wait!"

Black Swan: Looks like a very irritable guy—you should have thought so from the first sound and tone of his voice.

"You know Huang Quan, that sea patrol knight? Right? I have something to ask you."

"Want me to help you write your will? Go ahead."

It really feels like there's a lot of tension going on.

"It's not a will. I just want to ask you, how exactly did she become a sea patrol ranger?"

Black Swan was very patient: "She is not the destined traveler of the [Hunter], you are, right? Tell me, what exactly is Huang Quan?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment:

"...Hahaha, I didn't expect to have allies here. Looks like I've hit the jackpot."

Black Swan narrowed his eyes: "If you are the Sea Patrol Ranger—the First Envoy is currently in Pinocchio and has met with Huang Quan, he did not expose this matter."

"Huh? Who are you talking about?"

The person opposite seemed surprised: "Our [Hunter] faction's second-in-command? He's here too?"

"The Star of the Grand Event attracted many people; he came along with the Star Train."

Black Swan continued patiently, "Furthermore, I have reliable information—[The Hunter] himself has now appeared in Pinocchio."

"Perhaps if you come sooner, you will still have a chance to meet the God you believe in."

"I don't need you to remind me, Yi Zhe, I'll be at Pinocchio soon."

The person opposite him became even more impatient: "Go buy a bottle of Asdna Oak, warm it up, and I'll toast you."

Black Swan: Why didn't you go find the Star God and the First Envoy first?

"As for that woman named Huang Quan..."

"She is a messenger who shouldn't exist."
