Star Dome Railway: Kevin’s Pioneering Journey
Page 237
Looking at the woman, he replied: “I don’t trust you.”
“We’re your future teammates after all, you should trust me.”
The woman pouted and didn’t seem to mind the other person’s opinion of her.
Kevin didn’t say anything else. He could feel that the other party was still hiding the matter, including Su, but he didn’t want to delve into it further.
Kevin wanted to get more information during this free time, so he continued to ask, “Su told me that you insisted on coming here. Why?”
“Why…wait, let me think about it…”
Listening to Kevin’s question, the woman rested her chin on her hand and seemed to start thinking seriously. She lowered her eyes and asked herself in a low voice.
“To say it was a spur of the moment? That’s too ridiculous…”
“I haven’t been to the world of trees for a long time? Maybe that’s part of the reason…”
“But at its core…”
Looking at Kevin, the woman smiled as usual, but there was a hint of regret and memories in her eyes.
Glancing at Su not far away, who was concentrating on completing the last step of his clone, she seemed to have made up her mind.
Looking at Kevin, she said with a gloomy face: “As a condition of trust, I can tell you a truth that they have hidden, a fact that they are ashamed to talk about…”
“what?”
Kevin took a deep breath, his chest feeling heavy, as if something bad was about to happen, or had already happened.
The woman’s lips slowly opened and closed, and she uttered three words silently.
“Gratio…”
Chapter 246 The Non-Existent Truth and Chips
“Gratio…”
“And…they…?”
In the imaginary space, Kevin pondered for a long time and finally fell silent. The whole space was filled with a heavy silence, so depressing that even the slightest breathing sound could not be heard.
“Ah……”
Looking at the silent white-haired man, the woman shook her head slightly, with a hint of incomprehensible mystery in her smile.
And in the next moment…

Without seeing any of the other party’s movements, his neck was immediately grasped by the other party’s hands.
But even so, the woman still stared at the man without changing her expression, and smiled softly: “How is it? Is this news… enough for me to win your trust?”
“Tell me everything you know.”
The man’s voice was extremely calm, but it was still difficult to conceal his urgency.
“Hmm~” Feeling the suffocation on her neck gradually deepen, the woman raised her lips slightly and said fearlessly, “Of course I can tell you, but isn’t it impolite to pinch someone’s neck like this?”
Looking at the woman who looked into his eyes without hesitation, Kevin finally let go of her hand. As it concerned the information of his former companion, this was a compromise he had to make.
“If I had known this, why would I have bothered?” The woman complained as she touched her neck which was covered with red marks. But then she spread her hands and said playfully, “But I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

Something seemed to be making a creaking sound.
Following the source of the sound, the star core that Kevin had taken out earlier was being tightly grasped. Under the tremendous force, its dark surface was covered with golden cracks.
“Alas, the life of the star core is also a life…”
Feeling the other party’s extremely restrained anger, the woman still made jokes lightly.
With her hands behind her back, the woman leaned forward and whispered in Kevin’s ear, exhaling slowly and asking, “Don’t you want to ask me why?”
“Why?” the latter asked without any hesitation.
“Why… um… that’s a good question.” Seeing the other party continue to ask, the woman raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and pretended to think, “Let me think about it, how should I explain it…”
As if she had figured something out, the woman soon raised her hand and tapped her palm.
Looking at Kevin with a smile, she slowly said: “In my opinion, everything in the world is relative, but in you, I don’t see the corresponding chips at the moment.”
There was a purple light in the gray-haired woman’s eyes, and she seemed to have sensed something.
“Are you trying to spy on my thoughts?” She said calmly, looking at the dark red light in the other person’s eyes. “The result is blank, right?”
Kevin did not answer the woman’s blunt statement, but it also proved something.
“Kevin, I must admit that you are very powerful now, far more powerful than I ever saw in the Quantum Ocean.” Looking at Kevin, the woman said calmly, “But you should also know that being powerful does not mean being omnipotent.”
Kevin took a deep breath in silence, he knew what the other party said was true.
Even though the development of the Cocoon of the End has far surpassed the Cocoon of the Solar System, and even though he has mastered the incomplete authority from imaginary numbers, there are still many things he cannot do.
He should have realized long ago that no matter how he used the power of consciousness to probe, he could not obtain any of the other person’s thoughts. This was not only true for the woman in front of him, but also for Su who was not far away.
This seems to be the characteristic of their clones…?
“What do you want to say?”
Kevin stared at the woman, his inner desire for the truth gradually eased, and he decided not to ask any more questions, but to listen patiently to what the other person said.
Responding to the other party in the same way, the woman spread her hands and said indifferently: “I don’t have anything to say, I just want to tell you that some things are not so easy to ‘break the rules’.”
“I said, I can indeed tell you the information you desire, but you must also pay a price that matches it.”
“What’s the price?” Kevin asked after hearing this.
The woman did not answer, but raised her hand with a meaningful smile, using her hand as a blade and slashing it across her neck.
“?”
Kevin frowned slightly. He didn’t know what the other party’s action meant. It couldn’t be that… he wanted him to commit suicide, right?
“Hmm~” As if she had sensed the other person’s thoughts, the woman lifted her hair, glanced at Su not far away, and said calmly, “Who knows?”
At this time, Su Zheng was sitting cross-legged in the void, with a black aura lingering around him. Illusory feathers flickered and floated behind him, like petals that emerged from the darkness without being stained by mud.
“It looks like my leisure time is over. It’s really troublesome to complete this clone.” Looking at the scene in front of her, the woman sighed with a normal expression.
As she spoke, she glanced at Kevin beside her and complained, “I really don’t understand why you have such a strange reaction to him.”
Kevin didn’t say anything. Looking at the black aura that was vaguely familiar and even thicker than before, he felt extremely touched and confused.
“Gu…why would he use something like this to make a clone?” Kevin murmured softly, feeling the mystery around him.
“Hmm? You recognize this?”
Hearing this, the woman next to him showed a somewhat surprised expression. Looking at Kevin, she asked speculatively: “Could it be…he showed you this?”
Hearing this, Kevin stared into the other person’s eyes, and although he was confused, he nodded.
“Tsk.” The woman smacked her lips and spit out, crossing her arms in front of her chest. “You are indeed good brothers who share the same pants. You can even show your weakest side to each other without worry.”
Kevin didn’t say anything after listening to the woman’s words, but he felt that the other party’s thoughts were a little strange and inexplicable.
Looking up and down at the two people who looked very similar in the imaginary space, Kevin felt vaguely that there seemed to be something fishy between them, a strange tingling sensation.
The dark aura was still rising, but it gradually became milder. Waves of energy spread out in all directions like ripples. A familiar feeling surged into Kevin’s heart, but was quickly suppressed.
It seems that the completion of the clone has taken effect at this moment.
Slowly opening his eyes, Su slowly fell from mid-air, and the ethereal and psychedelic aura had been completely taken back into his body.
“Kevin…”
Opening his eyes and looking at his best friend, Su just called the other person’s name but said nothing.
He took to heart everything the woman had just said to the other person, even though she was completing her clone. He had not expected the facts that were vaguely revealed.
He didn’t expect the former to be so unscrupulous as to reveal the tip of the iceberg.
But now that things have come to this, there is nothing more to explain.
Looking at Kevin, Su waited for his next words, but the imagined questioning from his best friend did not come. Instead, he nodded to him as usual.
Turning around, Kevin raised his hand to open the passage between the imaginary space and the outside world.
“time to go.”
Watching his best friend step into the door first, followed by the woman, Su shook his head. He knew that this seemingly normal scene was the most abnormal.
In a corner he couldn’t see, a seed had been planted.
And the name of the seed is suspicion.
Chapter 247 I am not afraid of the consequences of doing this
In the real world, at the root of Jianmu in the Linyuan Realm.
Compared with the dim, depressing and creepy imaginary space, even though this place is still limited, it gives people a much brighter feeling.
Standing in the clouds, Kevin and Jing Yuan explained everything that happened in the imaginary space after the connection was disconnected.
“This is what happened. General Jing Yuan, do you have any other opinions?”
But this was only his one-sided statement after all. As far as standpoint was concerned, the two people beside him did not have real say, and he himself also needed to make a reasonable explanation for what happened next.
Listening to Kevin’s explanation, Jing Yuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
“Well… Mr. Kevin’s thoughts are quite comprehensive, but you have done a lot for Luofu regarding the star core, so there is no need to bother the Star Train to continue to work on it.”
Kevin remained silent. He naturally heard the hidden meaning in Jing Yuan’s words.
Regardless of the outcome of the battle, this crusade against Lord Extinction Huanlong is ultimately Luofu’s home turf, which is related to some aspects of the alliance that should not be mentioned.
If the star core was taken away directly by this group of unknown guests, regardless of their behavior of usurping the throne, just how to explain the matter to the alliance would be a difficult problem to solve.
Whether it is the Starry Sky Train or the Immortal Boat Alliance, every family has its own problems.
The same was true for Jing Yuan, who was also a general. Even though he did not provide any help in this battle, he still had to do it anyway.
Kevin had no opinion on Jing Yuan’s concerns. He didn’t care much about whether the sealed star core could be recovered. In terms of interests, he had no conflict with the other party.
