Chapter 32
March 7th scratched her hair, imitating that somewhat strange syllable:
"Zoffy?"
"What is Zoffy?"
In the stories Bai Bai Xuan told her, such a character didn't appear!
She could listen to new stories at night!
Stelle also leaned against the head of the bed with March 7th's support, her golden eyes full of desire for knowledge.
Is this the side effect of "Deception"... even if it's a randomly played meme, it will be Actions Actions Taken seriously... have to find a way to turn this passive aura into an active skill...
Bai Bai Xuan's mouth twitched slightly downward, self-reflecting on the possible side effects of the power, and then began to fabricate the origin of "Zoffy" without any clue.
"Zoffy is a legendary figure."
"In ancient legends, He is described as a giant with silver skin, with never-extinguishing flames on His head."
"The plan to eradicate all Aeons was formulated by Zoffy."
"Oh, so that's it." March 7th nodded foolishly, like a beckoning cat.
Stelle's mouth moved slightly, but she instinctively believed the words of the handsome stranger in front of her.
Then, she heard this handsome man, whom she naturally felt close to, introduce himself:
"I am Bai Bai Xuan, very happy to see you."
"If it's convenient, go to the master control cabin to see Himeko; she has something to find you for."
After saying these things, Bai Bai Xuan put Stelle's clothes on the bed and left the bedroom.
Let's explore the front area later.
Herta Space Station, master control cabin.
The gray-haired, golden-eyed girl walked slowly, sending harassment messages to all the friends added to her address book.
Dan Heng's reply speed was quite fast, but every sentence was very short.
Things like "..." "Stop playing" "You should go see Himeko first."
And the messages sent to Bai Bai Xuan and March 7th were still unread.
Standing on the high platform, Stelle looked left and right, looking into the distance from time to time, searching for Himeko's figure in the crowd.
Suddenly, the familiar scent of perfume drifted over.
She turned her head and found that Himeko had already stood by her side.
This red-haired beauty first looked her over carefully, then helped straighten her collar before speaking:
"You're awake. I had Dan Heng and the others stay near the train to keep watch."
"It seems little March and little Bai Bai Xuan have Actions Actions Taken good care of you."
"The time is about right; the person I'm waiting for should be here soon."
As she spoke, Himeko tilted her head slightly to look aside, and "Star" followed her gaze.
A well-behaved young girl with long gray hair, sophisticated taste, cute attire, and a bit of baby fat was walking through the crowd toward the two of them.
All her exposed joints were ball-joints like a doll's.
A Herta puppet.
Her tone carried a hint of reproach and a hint of helplessness:
"I've only been gone for a few months, hmm? The space station has been turned into this state?"
"You're back, Herta." Himeko first greeted Herta, then looked at "Star," introducing this legendary genius to her.
"This is the true owner of the space station, member #83 of the Genius Society, Herta."
Herta did not like others introducing her in such a way, and her face, indistinguishable from a real person, revealed a serious expression.
However, the more serious she was, the cuter she appeared; this was the privilege of cute creatures.
"If you're going to introduce me, do it properly. Why mention the Society? I have so many extraordinary achievements; which one doesn't sound better than #83?"
"Star" looked at Herta's overly young appearance, but in her heart, she thought of Bai Bai Xuan's warning: "She looks young, but she's actually very old," and "Don't be fooled by her cute appearance."
Before coming to find Himeko, Bai Bai Xuan had stuffed her head with a bunch of random knowledge, including the origin of the "Genius Society."
It was a club established by Zandar, the creator of the Aeon of "Erudition," Nous, and only the top geniuses of various civilizations could join.
It's just that this overly simple and crude name, for some reason, tickled "Star's" funny bone.
"Pfft, Genius Society."
"Laugh if you want. Do you think I like the name that old ghost Zandar came up with?"
"Now, the Stellaron, is it this little brat?"
Himeko nodded slightly.
Herta immediately became interested:
"Hmph, then I must take a good look."
"It's truly miraculous. To restrain this unactivated Stellaron and save the Blue Star from disaster, I built an entire space station..."
"Yet someone returned to basics and solved it with just this brat's body—how did you do it?"
Himeko added:
"And the 'Stellaron' is still very stable inside her body."
Herta then sighed:
"Indeed, this little one's constitution is truly strange..."
Little one...?
"Star" scanned Herta from head to toe several times, then lowered her head, raised her gaze again, and then patted her own chest, confirming:
"I am not a little one."
Herta immediately developed a strange sense of competitiveness:
"Ha, compared to me, aren't you just a little one? How old are you?"
Himeko silently countered Herta:
"Don't judge a book by its cover, Herta. This body of yours looks much younger than Star's."
"I'm different..." Herta immediately retorted.
Although this body of hers did indeed look overly young, at a level where anyone who developed desires for it should be arrested by the military police.
But she also discovered a point she had previously ignored.
"Huh, could this person be the same type as that March 7th of yours?"
"Then, can I use her for some research?"
Last time she stopped by, when she said this to Bai Bai Xuan, an oppressive force no weaker than "Nous" blocked her subsequent words.
At least, this little one in front of her wasn't that terrifying.
Himeko smiled:
"I can't decide that; you have to ask Star herself."
"Star's" golden pupils shone with light: "How much money?"
This amused Herta.
Although money meant nothing to her, as long as she was willing to say the word, countless people would scramble to send money over.
"This brat actually has a head for business; I quite like her."
"Don't bully her too much."
Herta was a bit anxious:
"I'm interested now, so I'm willing to accommodate anything."
"There's a Stellaron in her body, how interesting! Be grateful!"
"Me taking action to help you is a service that the Interastral Peace Corporation couldn't buy even with money."
Himeko pointed out Herta's true intention in one word:
"Understand, Star? Herta wants you to stay at her space station."
"Don't, be precise: just stay for a while—once I finish my research or lose interest halfway through, this brat has to leave."
Hmm, that matches up.
"Star's" gaze became sharp.
That was the last paragraph Bai Bai Xuan said before she left:
"As for whether you stay or go, Herta will definitely invite you to stay at the space station."
"In that future, Herta loses interest in you before long, after which Asta takes you in as a researcher, and after the Astral Express crew visits you a few times, there's no more news..."
Sure enough, when Himeko asked, "And then?"
Herta said words that were exactly as Bai Bai Xuan had predicted:
"What does that have to do with me after that?"
Is this what it means to love and leave?
"Star" continued to recall what Bai Bai Xuan told her to do at this time.
"First, look at Himeko..."
She did so.
"Then, with great emotion, say, 'Coach, I want to sing, dance, rap, and play basketball.'"
She did that too.
However, after Bai Bai Xuan finished this part, he was dragged into the room by March 7th; she didn't know if there was a problem with this phrasing.
Himeko, Herta: "?"
The two were stunned in unison, muttering in their hearts.
Himeko: "Assimilated by little Bai Bai Xuan so quickly?"
Herta: "She's unexpectedly quite interesting."
Just as their conversation was about to continue.
Above the sky.
