They are quite fond of each other and have come to Xingtie

Having satisfied her unique “cross-dressing fetish” for the doctor, Holhaiya’s aggression was greatly reduced, and she even had the leisure to deal with Eula’s sarcasm:

“It’s probably just an occupational disease. I’m very sensitive to other people’s gazes, but think about it… every one of us women is very eye-catching when we take them out alone, so it’s not surprising.”

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to it… There are quite a lot of mirror decorations and materials in the station… Is it to remind the staff to pay attention to their manners? Or is it that Black Tower has a bad taste for shiny things?” At Fat Snake’s suggestion, Eula was also attracted by the various mirrors at the reception desk of the base cabin.

“I think it’s just to increase the lighting… After all, it’s a closed space with no external light source.”

Quetzalcoatl turned its head slightly, no longer paying attention to the slight sense of disharmony, and did not warn Sora—

Anyway, even if there really is something fishy, ​​the doctor will find out earlier than her… This damn sense of security has made her a little corrupt.

…As Haiya expected, Kong Que discovered something wrong earlier than her, but he made the same choice as Haiya. He did not remind everyone immediately. Instead, he secretly observed the positions where the reflection effect might be formed and walked to the mirrors integrated with the wall.

[…There is a hidden destiny energy in the space station, and it is trying to sneak into the train simultaneously…There is no malicious intent at the moment, do you want to contact it? ]

“It’s very similar to the memory fate we felt in the simulated universe… It must be a follower of Fu Li.”

Kong was somewhat surprised by the other party’s sneaky behavior.

“Don’t the members of Liuguang Yiting also cooperate with the company? At least there are some unofficial business dealings – they sneaked into the space station so secretly, aren’t they afraid that the Black Tower and the company will be targeting them?”

Trying to use the known information to interpret the other party’s behavioral logic, Kong finally got a not-so-reasonable answer, which was that Liuguang Yiting was extremely interested in him and hoped to bypass the black tower and the train and cooperate with him alone.

But as the emissary of Lord Boshi… at least in name only, Kong felt that no matter how carefully the other party approached him, there was a high probability that he would be exposed in the end. Not to mention anything else, Heita just asked casually, and Kong also answered casually… and considering that Fu Li and Kaituo had a relatively harmonious relationship in the past, there was no need to avoid the train.

“It seems like there is something you are hiding. Oh, right, I remembered an organization. It seems to be believers in memory as well.”

[You mean the incinerator? ]

“…Maybe Liuguang Yiting wants to protect my memory? To prevent the extremists among them from getting there first?”

As Kong’s “inspiration” judgment was a great success, a corresponding blue dot appeared on the small map, as well as the familiar purple exclamation mark on it, which made Kong understand that the visitor was at least neutral, and should not be those extreme Star God believers.

“Let us go meet this cautious potential ally.”

After he made this decision, he called out to his female companions, “The goal has changed temporarily – girls, let’s go and treat a potential partner who is interested in me to dinner.”

“…Sure enough, someone is spying on us.”

Quetzalcoatl breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his intuition was still very reliable.

“Eh? No way? I didn’t feel anything? Kong, where is the partner you mentioned? The one who was spying on us just now?” Sanyue covered her mouth with her hands in fear when she heard that.

“That’s probably the case. But if we drive over there in such a large group, I’m afraid it will scare the other side.”

56. Do what I say!

The information submitted by Holhayya mentioned certain properties of six-phase ice.

She was quite concerned about this pink-haired girl who was so “pampered” on the train, probably because of some of the things she did to her… without any additional purpose, such silly and cute tail-wagging behavior, which made her curious about what kind of person could be so heartless, so she specifically checked what some of the marks on her body might represent – and what she found made Kong think that March Seven might be more or less related to the power of memory and the camp.

But she did not notice any trace of Fu Li appearing in the space station, which forced Kong to revise his judgment.

…Looking at March’s frightened look, she was definitely not pretending. She was really naive when she looked silly. She was so happy that she lived each day as if worries only existed occasionally when she was reminiscing about the past… Unfortunately, her past was also blank, and only the life on the train was worth remembering.

A girl like this wouldn’t be targeted by the incinerator or Liuguang Yiting… probably.

Before the other party infiltrates the train and upsets Himeko, Kong finds a mirror node… The person with the memory set up a quick exit in the corner of the public restaurant in the main control cabin.

This place was originally an external restaurant for tourists and non-resident personnel of the space station, but now, in order to celebrate their survival, many staff members do not mind spending extra credit points to eat the high-end dishes that the cafeteria only provides to deputy section chiefs and above.

When Kong and his group came in, they caused quite a commotion. But before Kong could put his hands together to signal silence like a congressman or a celebrity, the group spontaneously sat back in their seats and ate the food on their plates bite by bite. They were elegant and well-educated, which was a huge contrast.

Of course, it wasn’t Sora who was manipulating them, but the work of the guy hiding in the mirror.

“…It takes a lot of effort to get so many people to ignore us… Dr. Kong, you really gave me a big problem.”

Under the gaze of the train crew, a figure slowly emerged from the restaurant’s grid-like mirrored wall. Accompanied by a sad yet pleasant female voice, the helmeted memory believer stared at Sora’s face through the helmet and complained slightly:

“My original intention was to communicate with you without disturbing others… but I’m afraid that everyone in the restaurant knows that I have been here. Now I am simply isolating them from our perception, but I can only find a way to block this memory later… This is not my intention, please forgive me.”

“…You are not a ‘distinguished guest’ that I personally invited to board the train, a follower of Fu Li. I don’t want to take the risk of letting a stranger in.”

Sora’s words sounded quite impolite, but he was just stating the facts:

“Although it’s inconvenient to meet here, at least it’s better than being discovered by Ji Zi and being suspected – March, you must remember what we discussed next. I have to trouble you to be my witness… March?”

Kong noticed that Sanyue no longer responded to him, so he turned around quickly and found that Sanyueqi was staring blankly at a plate of stewed meat with red peppers that the waiter had brought to her at some point, as if it was some kind of divine delicacy that had absorbed all her consciousness.

“I have also blocked her memory. She is not our partner.” The woman, wearing a helmet and whose face could not be seen, said lightly.

“Hmm? Then why don’t you tamper with the memories of my other companions as well?”

“Because they are all ‘outsiders’, Liuguang Yiting believes that you and the outsiders you brought are a community. It doesn’t matter if they know enough, but those who cannot escape this world cannot participate for the time being.”

She added anxiously, “…Ah, it’s to block the memory. I will only modify the memory if a keyword related to me appears! I’m not a thief! Please don’t question my professional ethics!”

“What, what do you mean? She confused me by saying that!”

Paimon continued to perform steadily.

“To put it simply, we are all part of a group summoned by the Doctor. We never existed in this world before, so it doesn’t matter if we know some secrets, right?”

Holhaiya and Eula both took a step forward and subconsciously protected Kong’s left and right wings. This posture of ready to fight at the slightest disagreement startled both the memory believer and Kong on the opposite side.

Befa observed the other party’s reaction and after confirming that she was just frightened, he hurried over to pull out the movable seats in front of the dining table for the three of them, indicating that they could sit down and have a good chat. He then walked to the side of the memory believer, made a “please” gesture to her, and took the initiative to pick up the kettle next to him and poured her two-thirds of a cup of lemonade.

Perhaps it was Befa’s ceremonial gesture that calmed the two tense parties down.

“…Excellent conclusion, roughly correct. I am the Rememberer sent by Yi Ting, and I want to get in touch with Dr. Kong.”

“You seemed to be trying very hard to prove yourself as a ‘legal’ and law-abiding memorizer, right?”

After Kong sat down, his expression softened a lot, but he quickly put on the helmet that Holhaiya bought for him. Because she couldn’t see Kong’s expression, the girl, who didn’t seem to be very skilled in the business, felt an instant sense of oppression.

“…Why do you want to wear a helmet all of a sudden?”

“Because when I treat people who don’t want to show their true colors, my way of receiving them is also not to show my true colors.”

“But, but you have already let me see your appearance clearly just now, right?”

A big question mark appeared on the rememberer’s smooth mask.

“It’s an expression of attitude. Even if my photos are all over the streets and I meet with those who hide their heads and show their tails, I will always keep this configuration.”

“…”

Kong couldn’t use a combination of punches to deal with the girl on the opposite side.

She thought for about half a minute, but couldn’t come up with any constructive response. In the end, she could only clasp her hands together in submission: “But I rely on memes to enter the material space where you are… I don’t have a real body… If you care about this kind of sincerity… I can apply to Yi Ting… to show my face to reassure you…”

“Okay, your words are enough.”

Kong had no intention of making things difficult for the rememberer.

“You came here to collect my memories, right?”

“To be precise, it’s a backup… Dr. Kong’s memory has been given special attention by Lord Fu Li. Yi Ting has received this oracle, and we must show you our high sincerity. Normally, we wouldn’t be so formal when we contact you…”

“How informal is it? Go straight to the little girl’s dressing mirror and wait to peek?”

“This is a way to use our abilities. I don’t want to find a mirror, but hiding in the radio is too boring!”

57. Target: A global giant enterprise!

On the surface, Yiting seems to lack sincerity – after all, to put it bluntly, they sent such a guy who is not an experienced person in any aspect to discuss cooperation. It is hard to believe that they intend to negotiate the project in one go.

But if the other party exists in the form of a meme, things become different.

She was waiting for Sora to propose conditions, which would then be uploaded through the special meme channel to the real decision-maker in Yiting for analysis.

Maybe bringing such a young guy here is also intended to win Sora’s favor and make him relax.

[The Star Dome Railway System has released a daily task: Enter the Garden of Oblivion once. Reward: 3% of the passport application progress. ]

“What kind of reward is this for passport processing progress?”

Generally speaking, when Party A’s system issues a test task, the rewards are material or powerful, but this is the first time I have seen such an abstract reward.

[This is the benefit I applied for with Party A. Host, my suggestion is that although the final right of interpretation of the passport belongs to Party A, it is better to get one first. Maybe it can help your companions at a critical moment. ]

“I understand. 3% per day… If we keep issuing this daily reward, it will take a month to collect the full amount. But what if Party A gets stuck later?”

[It won’t. We signed an agreement. As long as the host continues to accept this form of daily task reward, it will definitely issue us a passport after 31 days.]

“What about the energy rewards for awakening other systems?”

[Party A has been having some indigestion lately, and will have to wait until the next weekly mission is released before we can continue to unlock our cooperation system. ]

“Okay…let me talk to Yi Ting about business again.”

Now that Kong had a clear idea in mind, he was determined to win the project he was preparing to discuss with Yiting.

He cleared his throat and said to the uneasy girl, “Let’s put aside the matter of backing up my memory… Did your boss mention to you that I created the light cone myself?”

“Well, as I said, you also asked me to tell you that if you only produce light cones on a small scale and circulate them in your own circle, it will not affect Yiting’s business. But if you print them on a large scale… they will still be troubled, because the memories you possess are too high-quality, and some people who are dissatisfied with Lord Fu Li’s plan may also gain power that they should not have.” The messenger said softly.

“They see it very clearly, very well.”

Hearing Yi Ting’s tactful protest, they knew very well that there were risks in engaging in a price war with Zhishi Lingshi for the light cones – this was a negotiating attitude.

“Actually, I have some small suggestions for optimizing Yiting’s current light cone products… I can provide a technology to strengthen the light cone packaging shell, with cheaper packaging costs, better reading efficiency and stability – but I will charge patent fees. As long as you agree to give me a share, I will give you part of my own memory and this technology.”

He held his chin up, looking calm and composed.

“Eh?” Although she couldn’t see the other person’s face clearly, the girl seemed to blink and there was a flash on her mask.

Is this considered forced selling of patents?

After she met with her superior, he instructed her that even if the shell provided by Kong was not outstanding, she could give this portion of the profit to him as an expense to repair the relationship. After all, material contributions were not as precious as memories.

“I see, Dr. Kong, can you show me your new design? I’m afraid I’ll have to take a sample for Yi Ting to review.”

She would never question how an intellectual emissary could understand the light cone better than a believer in memory.

“No problem at all.”

Sora then pulled out a “Mind Unit” from his coat pocket and handed it over.

If the system hadn’t rewarded Kong with 50 of these things, he would have even forgotten that there was such a cheap and easy-to-use packaging container that could carry his own and others’ memories.

“There is no power of memory attached…” The messenger checked the mental unit over and over again, but could not see any traces of the rememberer’s operation on it.

“But the memories inside are genuine… Ah, they are actually memories about sailing and artillery battles… They can be considered a four-star light cone… No, is this thing considered a light cone?”
