When leaving Herta’s office, Serlin’s spirit was still in a daze; The Cocoon’s divine power was a bit too authoritative.
Even a genius like Herta had unknowingly fallen for it.
Serlin carefully checked the space station’s records; whether it was the Erudition lunatics who were excitedly writing papers on Nanook just moments ago, or the ordinary people who were terrified, none of them remembered what had just happened.
It was as if…
the past had been directly erased and reshaped; that period of history when The Cocoon descended simply did not exist at its root.
“So…
what exactly is wrong with Herta?
Has she got Alzheimer’s?
No…
have all the space station staff members got Alzheimer’s?” Stelle clapped her hands together on the way, speaking as if she had suddenly realized something.
Serlin’s pace faltered, and she said in disbelief, “You still remember!!?” Stelle was confused instead: “…How could I forget such a huge commotion?
I was even wondering why Herta and the others had amnesia!” Serlin thought for a moment, not knowing how to explain: “You…
uh, just think of it as the big shot’s personality.
Maybe He doesn’t want to be remembered by mortals.” “Hiss…
say, as a genius, do you think Herta will find any clues?” Stelle was still thinking about the data she saw in her office; the geniuses were still too authoritative, none of them were like humans anymore.
…But they still didn’t seem as authoritative as Old Cocoon.
Yeah!
As expected, Venusian technology is mind-blowing, actually being able to create a Star-Crosser that crushes Old Cocoon.
…
“There’s nothing wrong with this data either?” After Serlin and Stelle left her office, Herta reviewed their information in the Simulated Universe once again, and still found no issues.
Everything developed so logically; even the energy used on that planet was just a somewhat special type of Imaginary energy.
But…
Herta still felt something was off.
The expressions Serlin and Stelle had when they first came out were too conspicuous, but looking at their clear eyes, Herta didn’t think they were lying.
“Aeon?” “In any case, that simulated world must have something special.” Herta’s curiosity began its offensive, and curiosity won a complete victory.
She casually sent a copy of the questions and data to Ruan Mei and the others, then turned back to the Simulated Universe to begin debugging: “Import the imprints from before those two little ones entered, and remove the influence of the Path of Elation on this world…” “I want to see just how far this so-called catastrophe can develop…” And so, in that tiny simulated world, the wheel of fate began to turn once more…
…
“Go, go, go.
Aren’t you about to join the Express?
How can you not have entered the Express yet?” “Let me tell you, do you know what it feels like to give the front of the train a warm hug?
Your whole body feels warm and fuzzy.” All along the way, Serlin was hyped up, excitedly educating the Little Gray Hair about her glorious achievements when she first encountered the Express!
“That was freaking hitting the jackpot!” Stelle complained even more compliantly.
The two of them were the Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix of the Astral Express, a pair of smiling tigers, two black-horned sharks…
truly god-like people.
“Sigh, looking at these two…
they must be new members of the Astral Express Crew.
Looking at their mental states…
I can’t really say.” “Trailblazers are like that; their mental states are definitely ‘beautiful’.” “…That’s just great, especially this abstract Sister Himeko…
I feel…” “You’re even more of a big deal.” Serlin immediately switched to Raiden Ryoma and then swiftly flipped them off.
He didn’t believe it…
with Ryoma’s model, they could still…
“Wow!
She really can transform!
I’m feeling even more excited now!” Stelle: (Holding back laughter) Shut it, show some respect to my foster father!
Serlin was defeated, completely defeated.
Aren’t you researchers supposed to be world-renowned geniuses from your respective worlds?
Why are there so many abstract god-like people?
Amidst the two god-like people elbowing each other, they soon arrived at the platform where the Astral Express was.
Perhaps it was to welcome them, or perhaps it was for something else…
Not just Dan Heng; all members of the Astral Express Crew except for Pom-Pom were here.
“Wow, Serlin…
is this the Astral Express’s welcome for newcomers?” Stelle was completely oblivious to any issues, casually mingling with March 7th nearby.
Dan Heng tensed his body and patted Serlin’s shoulder; he felt that if he didn’t use some force, he would burst out laughing.
Himeko looked at Serlin with a smile.
Mother Himeko’s smile was so elegant, so flawless, but…
Serlin felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar; that smile was like ten-thousand-year-old ice, wanting to freeze everything about her.
“Hi…
Himeko…” “Mhm.
Come in.
Welcome home, Serlin.” He subconsciously wiped away some sweat.
As everyone knows…
the weirder a parent behaves like this, the more danger you’re in.
He didn’t know how he had entered the Express; he sat upright on the sofa, lost in thought.
Serlin suddenly thought of something.
Could it be…?
“Heh.” A barely visible smile curled at the corner of Himeko’s mouth.
“Finally remembered, dear Serlin?” “You were being ‘abstract’ at Herta Space Station using my image, weren’t you?” “Sister Himeko, have mercy!
I was the one being abstract back then, it was my mistake!
Next time I pull a stunt, I definitely won’t use Sister Himeko’s image, I’ll definitely change!” Serlin instantly switched to Sparkle Armor and immediately performed a sliding kneel, trying to use Sparkle’s cute image to act cute and get away with it.
“Mhm, a very sincere apology~” “Come, this is the coffee Sister Himeko brewed for you herself.
It’s very delicious.” *Gulp.* Serlin instinctively swallowed.
She remembered the glorious achievements of Himeko’s coffee in the game…
She looked at her other companions for help, but her accomplices’ eyes darted around, avoiding her gaze entirely.
Especially Stelle, she didn’t even bother to hide her expression of wanting to watch the fun—!
Not.
Even.
Bothering.
To.
Hide.
It!
Since that was the case, Serlin steeled her heart and smiled sweetly: “Big Sister is so righteous!” “I ruined Big Sister’s image before, yet Sister Himeko still brewed coffee for me personally.
Thank you, Big Sister!” With that, Serlin’s hand trembled as she picked up the coffee cup, and then, to the shock of everyone else (even Himeko), she took a big gulp!
The Path of Elation took effect.
Sparkle-Serlin gave a thumbs up with a look of “surprise” and said, “Delicious!
I’ve never tasted such wonderful coffee.
It’s truly a fresh brew!” “But how can I enjoy such a delicacy all by myself?” “Here!” Serlin held up the coffee and handed it to the curious newcomer, Stelle: “Here, this is coffee brewed by our Sister Himeko.
You have no idea how good it is.” “I won’t keep it all to myself!” Looking at the “sincere” Serlin, Stelle nodded with satisfaction and took a sip from the coffee cup.
Stelle’s eyes widened instantly, and her hands trembled as she shouted, “It’s delicious!
This is an unparalleled delicacy!” “Eh?
Is it really that good?
Sister Himeko can actually brew normal coffee now?” March 7th curiously leaned in, snatched the cup from Stelle, and said, “Let this lady have a taste!” After one gulp, March 7th looked at them in disbelief and collapsed onto the floor of the Express.
Stelle and Serlin looked at each other.
“You’re really ruthless, Stelle.” “Same to you, Old Shi.” Then, after tricking her, the two of them stopped resisting and compliantly fainted as well.
Himeko’s coffee achieved another triple kill.
Truly worth celebrating, truly worth celebrating.
Dan Heng took a deep breath, wanting to speak but stopping, then stopping but wanting to speak…
Finally, unable to bear the sight, he covered his face and said, “These three idiots…” Family, do you still have the dream of being a Ranger!!?
Phainon is…
