Astral Express.

Parlor Car.

"Hm?!"

Duke Inferno, Cocolia, and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata turned their heads at the same time to look toward the location of the sleeping car.

After Cocolia and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata exchanged a glance, they apologized to the passengers beside them and left the Parlor Car in quick steps.

"Wha... what happened?"

"How come the two of them suddenly left?"

Paimon looked suspiciously toward the direction of the sleeping car's entrance.

"Could it be that more True Sting insects have appeared?"

Clorinde rested her chin on one hand and mused.

"Uh, there shouldn't be any more True Sting insects, right?"

Navia wiped away cold sweat and said with a look of shame.

"Then what exactly is the situation?"

"How about we follow them and take a look?"

Paimon proposed.

Lumine heard this and was about to nod.

At this moment, Duke Inferno, who was watering the Abundance potted plant not far away, spoke up.

"It is merely the Master showing off the power of Nihility he possesses."

"Lady Cocolia and Lady Greater Lord Rukkhadevata are simply being flustered out of concern."

As Duke Inferno, who had been slain once by Luo Feng's power of Nihility, he was particularly sensitive to this power of Luo Feng's and could naturally recognize it.

"Why is Luo Feng suddenly showing off the power of Nihility?"

"Could it be that some enemy has arrived?"

"But the train hasn't reacted at all?"

Paimon flew toward Duke Inferno in confusion.

Looking at Duke Inferno's butler-like appearance, earnestly watering the flowers, Paimon complained:

"This potted plant doesn't even need watering; you're completely wasting your time doing this."

"Perhaps," Duke Inferno turned around, faced Paimon and the other Teyvat passengers who had followed Paimon's footsteps, and said calmly:

"But I must do something to get myself accustomed to my current identity."

Hearing this, Paimon touched her chin, nodded, and said:

"What you said seems to make some sense. But this train car suddenly only has you left as a train employee, and I'm suddenly not used to it for a moment."

"By the way, since you originally intended to go to Penacony to start a war, you must know a lot about it, right? Can you tell us about Penacony?"

Duke Inferno nodded and said:

"I have naturally conducted a detailed investigation into Penacony and know quite a lot about it."

"But I think the Master would prefer you to go to Penacony in person when the time comes and use your own eyes to understand it."

The implication was that he didn't intend to tell Paimon in detail about Penacony.

However, Paimon clearly didn't intend to give up.

"Don't say that; even Luo Feng would let us understand Penacony roughly."

"Before, when he took us out for a trip, he would show up from time to time to popularize some things we didn't know."

"So you can also tell us a little bit about Penacony."

Paimon flew close to Duke Inferno and said.

Perhaps because Duke Inferno was no longer in his burning state,

or perhaps because she knew Duke Inferno was now Luo Feng's subordinate,

Paimon had absolutely no fear of Duke Inferno.

Regarding this, Duke Inferno could only sigh secretly in his heart.

Who could have imagined that the once majestic name of Duke Inferno, which could stop children from crying,

now had no effect on a tiny floating object like Paimon.

"Fine! Anyway, we are already approaching the Asdana star system where Penacony is located."

"I will mention a little bit about the Asdana star system to you."

"This might also count as my responsibility as a train employee."

Hearing Duke Inferno say this, Paimon, Arlecchino, and the others all pricked up their ears, waiting for Duke Inferno to speak.

"The Asdana star system is a star system filled with Memetic energy and was historically one of the large holes where the Memory Zone leaked."

"Although a long time has passed, the Asdana star system is still an area where the concentration of Memetic energy seriously exceeds the standard."

"So you had better prepare yourselves psychologically; when you arrive at the Asdana star system, you might feel a slight physical discomfort."

Duke Inferno said.

"What? Luo Feng has never told us about this!"

Upon hearing that physical discomfort might occur, Paimon was instantly dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, little Paimon."

"Since Lord Luo Feng is taking us there, we will definitely be fine."

Sigewinne comforted her.

"That's right, we still have Lord Luo Feng's blessing on us."

Collei reminded her.

"That's true," Paimon nodded, put her hands on her hips, and said:

"Even if some problems arise, the problems definitely won't be big!"

After finishing, Paimon laughed foolishly.

"Memetic energy concentration exceeding the standard..."

Arlecchino rested her chin on one hand and thought for a while, then asked Duke Inferno for advice:

"Can I understand it as our memories being slightly affected when we arrive at the Asdana star system?"

Duke Inferno cast an approving look at Arlecchino and replied:

"Indeed! People who are too sensitive to Memetic energy might perhaps experience dizziness, blurred vision, or even memory confusion."

"Of course, these are just some temporary symptoms. After adapting to the Memory Zone where the Memetic energy is located, these symptoms will naturally disappear."

"Phew," Paimon patted her chest and laughed: "That puts my mind at ease!"

Duke Inferno cupped his chin and continued:

"However, I have heard my child Constance say that if someone is sensitive to the Memetic energy of the Asdana star system where Penacony is located to a certain degree,"

"this portion of special people will fall into a Synesthesia Dream upon arriving at the Asdana star system."
