This sword?
This one, he's too familiar with it.
Valter trembled, walking forward and gently stroking the broken sword, feeling the hot and warm aura on it.
Right.
This is the half-broken remnant that fell with Kiana.
At the funeral.
It was reforged by Kiana.
Kiana questioned, "Passenger, you..."
“……”
Uh.
No!!
Valter suddenly woke up.
This person couldn't be his student.
He observed the information of Kiana from another parallel world, through the system of Void and the Sky People.
To make up for his guilt towards Kiana of the Infinite Tower, he decided to cross over with Void.
Just didn't expect.
As soon as they crossed over, the ship malfunctioned.
Then, Void, this jerk, messed around with the controls and mistakenly entered the asteroid belt.
Almost froze into an ice popsicle.
If it wasn't for Su Zhe...
Valter glanced at Kiana.
Originally, he was here to protect the other Kiana.
But now?
He was rescued by Kiana first.
Shameful!
"Is this sword's owner very similar to me?"
Kiana's gaze shifted between Valter and Su Zhe, instantly understanding.
So that's it?
"Hmm. You, you should be called 'Kiana', right? But, this sword?"
Valter was puzzled.
This broken sword definitely belonged to his student.
He just didn't understand, it fell with Kiana of the Infinite Tower, but how did it end up in this Kiana's hands?
"I am Kiana!"
"As for the sword, it was salvaged by scavengers, then sold to the Black Tower Space Station, and finally ended up in my hands."
Kiana didn't mention Su Zhe.
"So that's how it is, this is a coincidence of fate?"
"This is my companion, Void."
"I'm Valter-Yang."
"The original owner of this sword, 'Kiana of the Infinite Tower' ... she was my student."
Valter spoke.
His expression changed slightly, a touch of sadness flitted across his face.
"May I ask, what's your dream?"
Ah?
Kiana was puzzled but still answered.
"To explore the stars!"
"When I was very young, I heard the stories of the nameless travelers on the 'Pioneer' journey, and was deeply attracted to it."
"That's why I applied to the interstellar navigation dynamics department."
After hearing Kiana's dream, Valter's gaze became even more complex.
Exactly the same as Kiana of the Infinite Tower.
This is ... 'counterparts' converging in different parallel space-times?
But!
Valter knew.
Even so, the similar woman in front of him wasn't his student.
'Kiana of the Infinite Tower' had already become a thing of the past.
This Kiana in front of him, like the rising sun, shines brightly.
She cherishes her dream, passionate and fiery, bravely moving forward, sailing towards her own starlit horizon.
While the Kiana in his world, her destiny has already been concluded.
"So?"
"Are you going to live in this new world?"
"I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to go home."
Kiana shook her head.
"Damn!"
"The world beacon is still..."
Void suddenly turned his head, his eyes like lightning, shooting towards the window.
Just?
In a flash, a meteorite struck the spaceship's fuel system.
【Boom!】
Accompanied by dazzling blue flames spreading.
The spaceship they were riding in turned to dust.
Valter: "..."
Void: "..."
The beacon was on the ship.
They didn't bring their phones either.
The two stared at each other, mouths agape, dumbfounded.
Alright, they're completely stuck now.
"This?"
Kiana gave a wry smile, did she also get infected by Pam's 'bad luck'?
"The end of one adventure is often the beginning of another."
Valter pushed up his glasses, making a self-deprecating joke.
"If this plot were made into an animation, everyone would think it's too coincidental."
"But things are just that coincidental!"
"Looks like we can't go back to our home for now, so let's just stay here, embark on another journey."
This time, no need to bear the burden of fate, everything will be according to their hearts.
Kiana looked at Su Zhe.
Su Zhe nodded.
"Since the two of you don't have a place to go for now, stay on the train until you find your way."
"The Star Rail welcomes every passenger."
Speaking, he picked up the coffee and handed it to Valter and Void.
Oh~
The famous scene is about to come?
Su Zhe's eyes sparkled (☆ω☆).
"Welcome, the two of you."
"Thank you."
The coffee smelled great.
Just?
Looking down, Valter felt something was off about this 'coffee'?
But he didn't think much of it.
He took a sip.
"Uh Σ(@△@|||)..."
The moment he drank it, Valter's eyes widened.
This feeling?
His throat was burning.
He swore, he'd never tasted such horrible coffee in his life.
The sourness was like unripe lemons just picked, hitting his tongue directly.
The spiciness was so intense, like a fire burning, spreading from his lips all the way to his stomach.
Drinking this coffee was like drinking fiery oil.
Ordinary people couldn't take it.
(As if he saw his great-grandmother.)
“……”
Void had fainted.
In a daze, he saw Otto.
(Damn!)
(Do I really miss being imprisoned by Otto for 500 years?)
(Oh, NO!)
Before he fainted, he had only one question in his mind.
This is a soul steel body, right?
