If it wasn't Angel's trump card, who would be the powerful creature blocking the Star Sea Train?
Doubt flashed in Laplace's eyes.
Can someone who can stop the Star Sea Train, even if it’s just a side train, be a being above the legendary level? Maybe even higher?
Is it really okay for such a powerful existence to be outside the Dream Crystal?
Thinking of this, Laplace felt inexplicably worried. Although it seemed that the being was on their side, who knew the truth?
However, Laplace's worries did not last long.
Every problem has a priority to be solved.
The powerful being who can stop the Star Sea Train must be considered lower in priority at the moment.
There are two things that need to be resolved before it.
First, the purpose of the Star Bug. Second, what impact will the appearance of the Star Sea Train have on the Dream Crystal?
Now we must first solve these two problems before considering others.
…
When Starworm leaves the basement, he is immediately attracted to everything around him.
Because the basement has been specially cleaned, there is only one table. The ground is the same as before, with furniture, decorations, plants, food, etc., all available.
Most importantly, everything is expressed in words.
Starworm saw the words appearing on various pieces of furniture, some of which introduced raw materials, introduced techniques and schools, and even pointed out that there were hidden storage compartments inside the furniture.
He was dazzled by what he saw.
In addition to the furniture, through the window, he also saw the words floating on various trees and flowers outside.
These text introductions are very brief, but very relevant.
It's like clarifying the essence of something in one sentence.
He also saw the literal creature he was thinking about, a weevil staying on the windowsill. From the introduction of the text, it seems that this insect was named the elephant trunk because it has a mouthpart that looks like an elephant trunk. insect.
The weevil is a living literal creature, but its introduction is not much different from the introduction of other furniture decorations, both of which are brief.
But there is one place that is a bit special.
The last sentence of the weevil's text introduction is not a real thing, but a shadow, as if it will disappear at any time: "Because it sucked the juice of the perfume apple, it is now contaminated with the scent of the perfume apple, which can easily attract natural enemies to hunt for the fragrant bird."
This type of writing is flickering, and it seems to be just a "temporary state".
While Starworm was looking at it, the sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded from outside the window.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed past.
After a popping sound.
When Starworm looked at the window sill again, the weevil was gone, and what appeared in front of him was a small sparrow with yellow and green feathers.
"Fragrant finch: Finch, small songbird, usually lives on perfume apple trees..."
There is no doubt that the weevil just now has been swallowed by this fragrant bird.
Starworm sighed secretly in his heart and continued to read the introduction of Fragrance Bird.
"... Omnivorous, but prefers insects with the scent of perfumed apples, especially weevils."
After reading the text introduction of the fragrant bird, Starworm has already figured out a logical loop: the weevil loves the juice of the perfume apple, but after it is contaminated with the scent of the perfume apple, it can easily attract the fragrant bird; the fragrant bird The weevil prefers the smell of perfumed apples. After eating it, it returns to the perfumed apple tree where it lives, and the fallen feces become the nutrition of the perfumed apple tree...
Although it is a creation of words, it unexpectedly follows a certain logic.
"Is this the energy system of this world?" Starworm's eyes sparkled with curiosity, full of curiosity about the writing system.
In Star Bug Eyes, Dream Crystal has already been positioned in the "Word Creation" system.
As everyone knows, the creation of words is just the rules of this box garden space.
Even if it is magnified, it is just a small attempt at the power of "Dream in Wonderland".
.
Faced with Starworm's emotion, Angel and others remained silent in tacit agreement.
Starworm originally wanted to use "energy system" to expand the topic and test the "mission goal", but no one answered, so he could only stop talking.
Walk through the corridor of the villa.
Gleipnir took Starworm to the reception room behind the curtain in the hall. While Starworm was observing the text introductions around him, Gleipnir walked out of the side door.
Half a minute later, she came back with a fruit plate.
Placed in front of Star Bug.
The plate contains three types of washed fruits: yellow waterberries, perfume apples and raspberries.
There are text introductions floating above the fruits, indicating that they are created by words.
Judging from the text introduction, it seems that these fruits can be eaten.
"Since we're going to have a long conversation later, it's natural to take some supplements." Gleipnir said, "Try it, maybe you'll like it."
While talking, Gleipnir also took out a bag of tea leaves from the drawer next to him and brewed it with boiling water.
Then, four cups of tea were placed in front of them.
Not to mention Starworm, Angel was a little surprised.
It seems that in the past few days, Gleipnir has been entering the text space a lot, and he even has tea...
This was obviously prepared in the past two days.
Think about it, this text space is rewarded by the power of Wonderland to those who have perfected the level, and the person who has cleared the level is not only Laplace, but also Gleipnir, who has cleared the "Glutton's Feast".
Here, both of them are masters.
Therefore, it is normal for Gleipnir to prepare some tea here.
Angel took a sip of tea with great interest. Well... although it was a creation of words, in terms of taste, it was no different from ordinary tea.
The only thing worth mentioning is that when the tea is still in the cup, there is a written description. But once it enters the stomach, all the written description disappears.
In the same way, when the star bug sitting opposite tastes the fruit, there is a text description. But when the fruit enters the body, the text disappears.
Perhaps, this is also some kind of rule for the creation of words?
…
Starworm stopped after trying three different flavors of fruit.
By this time, everyone had already sat down.
He sat alone on one side, and the others sat opposite him, a bit like... a three-chamber trial.
Although they didn't speak, it was obvious from their eyes that they were waiting for him.
Starworm: "I know you have a lot of doubts about my arrival. Don't worry, as long as you can tell me, I will tell you everything later."
"But before you ask, can I make a small request?"
If it had been put at the beginning, Greipnir would definitely deny it; but now, Greipnir just said calmly: "You say it."
"Can I know your names?" Starworm: "Or code names."
This request is not too much.
Graipnir glanced at Angel and Laplace, and after receiving unanimous confirmation, she nodded: "Okay."
"My name is Gleipnir." Gleipnir paused and added, "I am an astrologer."
When she heard that Gleipnir was an astrologer, realization flashed through her eyes: Sure enough, she was closely related to the power of the starry sky. No wonder she could recognize her own star mark at a glance.
Laplace and Angel also gave a brief introduction. They did not use code names, but directly mentioned their names, but did not add their surnames.
As for their profession, not much is said.
Although Starworm was a little regretful that he did not get everyone's professional identity, he at least knew their names. Moreover, there was a high probability that the mission target he was looking for was one of these three names.
The completion of his mission can be considered a small step forward.
"If you want to know anything, you can ask." Star Bug
.
No longer wasting time, he decided to actively cooperate: "However, I don't necessarily know many things, and there are some things that I can't say more about. Especially about the Star Lord. If you ask me this, I can't answer it. "
Angel was slightly disappointed that he could not raise the issue of "Star Lord". However, this was understandable. It was definitely forbidden for subordinates to make irresponsible remarks about their superiors.
Moreover, behind such miraculous things are often piles of corpses and seas of blood.
Think about the Taoxin Theater. Almost all those who go to the theater to perform stay in the theater. Becoming a temporary theater worker is the best result; more actors have become buried under the stage.
Although Angel didn't know much about the Star Sea Train, as a miraculous thing, it was definitely not a bad thing.
If you are not careful, it may become lubricating oil on the track.
Therefore, it is understandable that Star Insects do not speak ill of Star Lord.
"Which of you asks first?" Star Bug looked at the three people opposite.
"Still the same question, why are you here?" The one who spoke was Gleipnir, who was sitting directly opposite the starworm.
Starworm thought for a while: "You want to ask why the Star Sea Train came to this gap area?"
"Gap area?" Gleipnir asked doubtfully.
Starworm: "The gap zone is the gap between worlds. The world you are in is in the gap zone."
As Starworm spoke, he made a list of three people in his mind, and they were Angel, Laplace and Gleipnir.
At this time, after Gleipnir's name, he lightly typed "".
Gleipnir didn't know what the "gap zone" was, so he was basically certain that the target of the mission was not her.
Star Bug silently rated it in his mind, but his face was very calm and there was no clue at all.
Graipnir didn't know that she had been crossed, so she continued: "According to what you just said, why did the Star Sea Train come to this gap area?"
Starworm: "Every time the Star Sea train goes, it is controlled by the conductor. Each conductor has a different target location. Not long ago, we were in another void, because today we have a new conductor. , so we came here."
Gleipnir: 「???」
What? A new train conductor today?
"Does your train conductor change every day?" Angel was not prepared to speak at first, but after hearing Starworm's answer, he couldn't help but interjected out of curiosity.
Starworm shook his head: "The frequency of train conductor replacement is not fixed. At the shortest time, it is possible to change several times a day, but most of the time, a train conductor may not change for several years or decades."
Gleipnir: "There are many conductors on the Star Sea Train?"
Starworm shook his head: "Not too many. There are currently a total of 360 train conductors, corresponding to 360 side trains of Xinghai trains."
"Three hundred and sixty people are indeed not too many. Since there are so few, how can it be exchanged several times a day?" Gleipnir was a little confused. Could it be that the Star Sea Train often transfers in the void?
Starworm: "It's not a handover. It's not troublesome to change the conductor. All conductors can teleport to each other through seclusion."
"Hidden world?"
Starworm: "The Hidden World is the ability of the Star Lord. You can understand that the Hidden World is a special world similar to the Dream World, Nightmare World, and Mirror Realm. It connects the pan-plane of the heavens and spreads throughout the void. However, it is slightly different from the special world. The difference is that the entrance and exit to the hidden world can only be on the Star Sea Train."
Also because of the existence of the hidden world, the handover of the train conductor is not troublesome. Through the hidden world, you can directly transfer from the 001 sub-train to the 360 sub-train.
The handover only takes a moment.
After listening to Starworm's explanation, everyone's attention naturally focused on the "hidden world".
Being able to cross endless realms and boundless voids, just like a special world, teleport directly. This hidden ability is simply terrifying...
But thinking that this ability comes from the Star Lord, everyone takes it for granted.
After all, Star Lord is a real miraculous being!
.
Gleipnir suppressed his inner curiosity and did not ask about the "hidden world". Instead, he returned to the topic: "As you said, the No. 199 train conductor you are on has a new conductor today, so So you came to us? In other words, is this what the new train conductor means?"
Starworm nodded: "Yes, including me being sent here was also the train conductor's decision."
"Then why is the owl train conductor you call interested in us?"
Starworm shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. Maybe the train conductor has received a mission from his superiors."
Received a mission from a superior? Gleipnir lowered his eyebrows and said, "What do you call a superior?"
Starworm said frankly: "All train conductors have one and only one superior."
Gleipnir: "Star Lord?"
Starworm nodded.
Angel and Laplace were actually not too surprised to get this answer. They had imagined before that it might just be the train conductor's decision, but now it seems that fantasy is just fantasy after all.
"So the Star Lord is interested in us?"
Starworm quickly waved his hand: "I don't know this. I'm just a train conductor sent to complete the task. I don't dare to speak to my superiors."
Gleipnir actually wanted to ask if the Star Master really thought about the Dream Crystal, or was it just a momentary curiosity? But she also understood that the Star Master's thoughts were certainly not something that a low-level conductor could know, so she
He also swallowed the words silently.
"Then why were you sent here?"
Starworm: "I have a primary mission and a secondary mission here."
"If you want to ask me what I am doing here, the only answer I can give you is the secondary mission. Because the primary mission is confidential, I can only tell the specific target."
A specific target? Gleipnir raised his eyebrows, actually starting to guess in his mind.
However, she did not immediately ask who the Star Bug's target was. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "In that case, first tell me, what is your secondary mission?"
