Chapter 1461

"Wait…… wait, Luo Feng, I still have some things to ask you!"

Furina realized it belatedly, stepped up, and followed Luo Feng, Cocolia, and the others out of the reception carriage, also disappearing from the lens where Paimon was.

This made the Fontaine people, who were expecting to see their Hydro Archon display her power, feel a bit dejected.

"Do you need me to solve the problem with the passengers?"

"I understand; restricting Phantylia to the train must have also restricted Lord Luo Feng from exerting his power."

"So facing the current problem, he has no way to act easily."

Argenti placed his left fist on his right palm and nodded to himself.

【Arataki Itto: That's not right, Lord Luo Feng wouldn't be unable to use his power just because of restricting Phantylia, right? He could almost hang Phantylia up and beat her.】

【Kuki Shinobu: So that's just Argenti's speculation; Lord Luo Feng never said so.】

【Yae Miko: Lord Luo Feng leaving right now must be because he wants to leave the "problem" as a test for the passengers of Teyvat.】

【Perhaps while solving this "problem," they can get a chance to embrace a Path.】

【Yae Miko: But what is the "problem" that Argenti and Luo Feng are talking about?】

【Mualani: Could it be related to the red background outside the carriage? Don't you all think those red things outside are a bit strange?】

【Kachina: Y-yeah! When the Astral Express was sailing earlier, it was clearly a brilliant starry sky outside, but now it's an eerie red.】

【Arataki Itto: I almost forgot about that if you didn't mention it. Could it be that the train's sudden vibration earlier wasn't just because Argenti's ship and Lord Luo Feng's train rear-ended each other?】

【Kaeya: Argenti, Navia, and the others should give us the answer, right?】

………………

"Hehe, as long as you're happy."

Lumine said with a dry laugh.

She didn't think Luo Feng left because his power was restricted.

The Knave, Navia, Clorinde, and other passengers didn't think so either.

However, after thinking about it a little, everyone roughly understood Luo Feng's idea.

This was clearly to use the "problem" in Argenti's words to put them through a trial.

"But…… what exactly does this problem refer to?"

Navia asked Argenti curiously.

"That's a very good question."

"But before that, I would like to ask you all."

"Through the previous duel, have you all realized the true meaning of "Beauty"?"

Argenti asked everyone with a smile.

"P-probably understand it now." Navia chuckled twice and looked at the roses around her. "At least when you fight, you have a considerable sense of beauty."

"Just as Lady Navia said, your battle possesses a unique "Beauty" tune."

"But if possible, please tell us the truth about the "problem" first."

"Only then can we solve the problem."

The Knave asked.

"Very well." Argenti nodded slightly and turned to look at the Red Night universe outside the window.

"I wonder if you all feel strange or confused about the Red Night outside the window?"

Argenti asked.

"Of course, how could I not feel strange?"

"It was clearly a brilliant starry sky earlier, but after you rear-ended us, it turned into this appearance outside."

Paimon said as a matter of course.

"To be honest, I originally thought the Red Night outside was caused by your power."

"But after seeing the power you displayed earlier, I changed my mind."

"The Red Night outside feels very eerie, and it's completely different from your power of Beauty."

Navia said, looking thoughtful.

"Thank you for your trust, Lady Navia."

"It seems you have indeed gained a further understanding of Beauty."

"The fact is just as the lady said; the Red Night outside is not a manifestation of my power."

Argenti smiled at Navia, then looked out the window seriously.

"To be precise, the Red Night outside is not a starry sky."

"But a giant stomach wall."

Argenti said.

"Stomach wall?"

"You don't mean to say we're in the belly of some creature, do you?"

Paimon asked.

"That's right." Argenti nodded.

"How is that possible." Paimon shook her head and said: "How could there be such a large creature, large enough to swallow the train?"

Navia: "Mr. Argenti, it's not that we don't believe you. It's just that you said it so suddenly, we really can't understand it."

Clorinde: "Or, you can tell us first, what kind of creature's stomach wall are we in?"

"If I didn't see it wrong earlier, we are currently inside the body of a giant True Sting."

Argenti said earnestly.

Thanks to the faint light emitted by the exterior of Luo Feng's Astral Express, Argenti caught a glimpse of the giant True Sting for a moment.

However, the speed of the "Rare and Precious" was already too fast, and before he could do anything,

The "Rare and Precious" had already been swallowed into the body by the giant True Sting along with Luo Feng's train.

【Arataki Itto: The Astral Express is inside a bug now? Is this getting more and more ridiculous? This is as ridiculous as a Onikabuto being able to swallow me into its belly.】

【Kaedehara Kazuha: That may be so, but in the universe, anything might happen.】

【Arataki Itto: But this is too ridiculous!】

【Kachina: If there really is a bug that can swallow a spaceship and such a large Astral Express, how big would that bug be?】

【Kamisato Ayato: Outside the train, it's like a scarlet black night that you can't see the end of.】

【If it really is a bug, the volume of this bug could easily swallow a fairly large island.】

【Diona: Can it swallow an island…… although I know there are many novel things in the universe, it's still hard to believe.】

【Dottore: Hehe, that's not necessarily true.】

………………

Teyvat Continent.

Snezhnaya, Fatui Harbinger meeting room.

"You seem convinced that what Argenti said is true, Dottore."

Pantalone swirled the wine glass in his hand, looking with interest at Dottore, who was looking at his personal screen with a smile.

"Of course! You forgot, I am someone who has walked on the Path of Propagation."

"If I could have successfully modified the Dendro Dragon back then, the Dendro Dragon might have also become a bug large enough to swallow the Astral Express."

Dottore said with a smile.

"That's true." Pantalone nodded slightly.

"True Sting, I didn't expect that the Knave and the others would encounter a True Sting."

"What a pity, why isn't it me who obtained Luo Feng's train ticket right now."

Dottore let out a long sigh.

A True Sting large enough to swallow the train; Dottore was deeply convinced that if he could get part of its body, he would definitely be able to learn more about the Path of Propagation through them.

If he was lucky, he might be able to get closer to the truth of the Aeon of Propagation.

"It's better not to be too confident, regardless of whether Lord Luo Feng's train is inside the True Sting."

"Of course, what you shouldn't be confident about is that you can get closer to "Propagation" by studying the True Sting."

Signora walked in from the meeting room door and said while walking toward the conference table.

"You're back, Signora."

Pierro raised his head upon hearing the sound. ===== CHAPTER 1462 =====
