Chapter 44

The adults in the town, the adults in the camp, they weren't very interested in the Foundation's live stream.

Clara had no choice but to go find Mr. Svarog.

Mr. Svarog told her:

That was a tool for water; when there were still rivers, seas, and lakes in this world, humans used it to sail on them.

But what were rivers, seas, and lakes?

Clara didn't ask further.

She felt that those were unique existences that only existed in the lost world; unless she saw them with her own eyes, she would never be able to understand.

"Accessing database... 'Bear with a Stitched Heart' not retrieved. Analysis result: None. Background: Unknown. Classification: Unknown information."

"Sorry, Clara. I don't know what a 'Bear with a Stitched Heart' is."

This humanoid mechanical giant looked at Clara and shook his head.

"It's okay, Mr. Svarog."

"Clara is already very satisfied just being able to see that there are so many magical animals in this world."

Clara smiled and continued to watch the story unfolding countless light-years away through the screen.

Astral Express, Parlor Car.

Classical music echoed in the carriage, waves of sound, as if one were in a concert hall.

After listening to one piece, Pom-Pom decided to change to a pop song.

With a rainbow on its head, humming a cheerful melody, its two small feet moved slowly as it walked to the wall.

Two phonographs were placed side by side against the wall.

One was the Astral Express', and the other was also the Astral Express'.

They looked no different on the outside, except one didn't need to insert any records to play songs.

This one was the "Curio" contributed by Bai Bai Xuan.

However, everyone now preferred to use the term "SCP."

"Then let's play 'Interstellar Journey', Pom."

Following the command, a "Gua Gua Gua" prelude immediately sounded from the phonograph.

Immediately after, Pom-Pom turned around and continued cleaning.

However, when its gaze swept over the wall by the window, a small bear doll it had never seen before caught its attention.

"When did a little bear appear?"

Pom-Pom scratched its ears.

It felt that this little bear didn't quite match the surrounding environment and should be placed on the sofa.

So, it prepared to pull a chair over to make it easier to take the little bear down.

Just then, Stelle walked into the Parlor Car.

Subsequently, her pupils dilated, and she roared:

"Pom-Pom, stay away from that little bear!"

At the same time, the document content continued to appear.

But I saw the "Object Class" column, which read "Safe."

Pom-Pom held the little bear doll, which was about the same size as it, and looked at Stelle:

A few minutes ago.

Herta Space Station, Master Control Zone.

After the two lines of large text disappeared.

The terrifying scene the audience expected did not appear.

What appeared on the screen was a warm scene.

A rag bear sat quietly in front of a potted plant, motionless.

It looked as if it had been sewn stitch by stitch by a grandmother using scraps of cloth—simple, rough, but cute.

And in front of its left chest, there was a heart-shaped piece of red cloth.

In the background, melodious classical music echoed.

This scene was very much like the opening scene of a warm story.

If an elderly, kind old man were to narrate, or if an innocent child's voice were to sound, it wouldn't feel out of place.

Only.

This scene didn't look quite right in the eyes of Himeko and Welt Yang.

Isn't this the Parlor Car?

They drank coffee there every day!

Asta also weighed her words, unsure, and said:

"Why do I feel... this place... looks a bit like... the 'Astral Express'?"

Wasn't the scene reflected in the smooth edge of the flower pot the platform of the Herta Space Station?

Three times, ah, three times!

An SCP had appeared on the Herta Space Station for the third time!

Himeko's hand holding the coffee trembled slightly; it took her a long time to speak:

"Yes, the Parlor Car... as long as those young people can survive safely."

"Let's postpone the 'Trailblaze' journey for now."

"Asta, we might have to stay on the space station for a while."

Welt Yang nodded, his expression becoming extremely serious.

From now on, a rescue mission involving several lives and the future of the Trailblaze Path.

Officially began.

Getting hot-headed and immediately returning to the "Astral Express" to save everyone.

This kind of script would not be played out.

Because right now, the train's highest combat power, Bai Bai Xuan, was still inside the "Astral Express."

With him there, the few people left on the train wouldn't be in any danger.

Those of them not on the train would find the weakness of "SCP-2295" through the Foundation's files and attempt to contain it.

However.

Things did not develop as they had imagined, but took a sharp turn for the worse.

The next moment.

Pom-Pom and "SCP-2295," the Bear with a Stitched Heart, appeared on the screen at the same time.

Welt Yang and Himeko felt their hearts skip a beat.

That doll bear, which had shown no movement.

Its simple facial features seemed to become ferocious, seemed to become abstract.

The entire head was about to burst open, erupting with countless tentacles to steal Pom-Pom's heart.

Outside the screen, Stelle's scream rang out:

"Pom-Pom, stay away from that little bear!"

At this, the warm scene suddenly became extremely eerie.

But such emotions didn't last long.

Almost simultaneously, the detailed file on "SCP-2295," the Bear with a Stitched Heart, was released.
