Chapter 274

~5 min read 911 words

Now Himeko has issued a date invitation...

Can this also clash?

Fortunately, Lin Qi isn't the "gentle" type.

Under normal circumstances, he is quite assertive.

After considering it briefly, he sent a message to Kafka, telling her that something had come up temporarily.

The matter of being unable to perceive fear could be put off until later.

In Lin Qi's view.

Himeko is more important.

Not only because she is a member of the Express, but the key is that the two have had physical intimacy and a close relationship.

They need to catch up first.

Kafka's matter is just research this time; whether he can "eat" her is still uncertain.

Lin Qi doesn't like to force things.

That kind of thing is better when it's mutual.

So...

Lin Qi nodded and said, "No problem, I happen to have time this evening."

"That's great." Himeko's pretty face flushed slightly, feeling a bit shy.

After all, she had just shown a side completely different from her usual self in front of other Express members.

And it was somewhat bold.

She didn't know what they would think.

Fortunately, Seele and Star didn't have much of a reaction.

One was unfazed, having long known that Lin Qi and Himeko had a relationship, and the other was studying the lance, with no intention of putting it down at all.

Only March 7th...

Right!

Himeko coughed twice, remembering that her purpose wasn't just for a date.

Then she asked.

"Regarding March 7th's situation, Lin Qi, do you have any leads?"

"Or does it require further research to reach a conclusion?"

Lin Qi turned his gaze to the only unfamiliar face among the four from the Express.

Which was March 7th.

At this time.

March 7th also knew that they were starting to talk about serious business, and since the "protagonist" was herself, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

She always felt a bit uncomfortable.

But for her.

This was an opportunity, an opportunity to potentially understand her past.

Come to think of it.

Before coming to Jarilo, the group had the idea of having Lin Qi help check March 7th's specific situation.

They had even discussed it.

It's just that there was actually no need to discuss the result.

Why say that?

Because whether it was Seele, Himeko, or Star, they all believed that Lin Qi could see the clues.

Instead of being like other scholars who gained nothing.

What could March 7th say?

This matter concerned her; she couldn't just sing a different tune and say no, right?

But then again.

She was indeed looking forward to it; her previous nervousness wasn't entirely because she was about to meet a "big shot," but also about her own background.

At the same time.

Lin Qi was sizing up March 7th.

He looked at this pink-haired girl, lost in thought.

He even expanded his "Domain."

Which was the Synesthetic Dream.

Because in the Synesthetic Dream, Lin Qi has more means.

"Huh?"

Lin Qi let out a sound of surprise.

"What's wrong? Is... is there a problem with me?" March 7th asked hurriedly, her tone incredibly nervous.

"Yes!"

Lin Qi nodded heavily and said, "And it's not small!"

Once these words were out.

Everyone's eyes looked over.

Even Star stopped studying the lance.

March 7th also became even more nervous.

Fearing that she would hear some bad news from Lin Qi.

Actually, regarding her own past, March 7th was curious but also a bit afraid.

Afraid that the past was too tragic.

Now hearing Lin Qi say there was a problem, how could she not be nervous?

Fortunately, Lin Qi's tone was still quite relaxed?

"Relax a bit first; I didn't say your background was tragic or anything, it's just... a bit bizarre?"

Lin Qi thought for a moment and said so.

"Can it not be bizarre? Drifting in the universe while wrapped in Six-Phased Ice," Seele retorted.

"More bizarre than that," Lin Qi explained while looking at March 7th, "I saw the shadow of the Aeon of Memory on you."

"Aeon?"

March 7th was a bit confused.

Although she did have a kind of ability that could conjure ice and such, saying it was related to the Aeon of Memory was just too outrageous, right?

This was also a direction she had never considered.

"Not only that, there might be shadows of Enigmata and Terminus? It's also not excluded that it's some kind of authority of the Aeon of Memory," Lin Qi said with an uncertain tone.

Once these words were out.

March 7th couldn't hold it together even more.

One Aeon would be enough, but three Aeons?

When did she become so powerful?

She felt absolutely nothing.

If she had to say, Memory might be slightly related, after all, she could trigger Six-Phased Ice.

Enigmata and Terminus?

No matter how she thought about it, it was impossible.

"Lin Qi, what basis did you use to judge this?" Himeko asked.

"You should have all experienced the Synesthetic Dream; the Astral Express should have the authorization," Lin Qi said.

Himeko and the others nodded, indicating they had indeed experienced it.

Entering the Synesthetic Dream is restricted.

Not everyone can enter it, especially those places with high time flow, which require higher authorization.

However, members of the Express do have high authorization.

So they could all access it.

And precisely because of this, they had all experienced the features of the Synesthetic Dream and marveled at it.
