Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 190 I'll fly to your doorstep immediately and execute you without mercy.

Pinocchio Theatre, entrance passage.

After stepping off the platform, Lin Qiong and his group walked along the empty passage, stepping on the red carpet beneath their feet, until they arrived at the corridor connecting to the Tuning Hall.

Countless geometric pillars stand on both sides of the passageway, each with a soft wall lamp that emits a slightly dim yellow light.

This warm color scheme gives the entire passageway an elegant atmosphere.

Walking through this passage, Lin Qiong couldn't help but relax.

"Uh... don't you guys think the atmosphere here is kind of weird?"

March 7th cautiously observed her surroundings, hugged herself tightly, and involuntarily shivered.

"Is there?"

Xing followed her example and looked around, but all she could see were neon signs with pictures or wall lamps with halos.

Everything seemed perfectly ordinary.

"What Xiao Sanyue is referring to is probably the fact that there is no one in this luxurious hall," Himeko added from the side.

"Yes, yes, Himeko understands me best."

March 7th nodded repeatedly and gave Himeko a smile.

"The person... is probably gone, but I've seen quite a lot of dolls."

Lin Qiong walked to one of the red curtains, raised his hand and pulled back the curtain to show his companions the scene inside.

Inside, there were many dolls in various poses, their appearances seemingly imitating human behavior.

Some were giving directions, some were chatting in groups, and some were waiting in line at the counter.

Every movement is so lifelike, it's as if a real person is performing their actions.

"Ugh... these dolls are really unsettling. Let's put the curtains up."

March 7th looked uncomfortable and shrank back behind Himeko, while simultaneously increasing the intensity of rubbing her arms.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong pulled the curtain that was open to both sides, dragged it towards the middle, and sealed the strange puppets back behind the curtain.

"Where do we go to find Sundays now?"

Xing looked at the entrances with red curtains hanging on both sides of the passage, a look of confusion on her face.

Each entrance looks remarkably similar, while red curtains obscure the interior, making it impossible to know what's inside.

While it's possible to find the way by lifting all the curtains, this approach would undoubtedly waste a lot of time and effort.

And now there is less than an hour left before the opening of the Harmonious Music Festival.

If we don't act quickly, all life in the Asdna system will be imprisoned in the dream of "order".

however.

The moment Xing finished speaking.

A soft "click" sound came from afar, followed by the sound of lights being activated in the spacious passageway.

Lin Qiong and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red curtain being illuminated by lights in front of the passage.

Meanwhile, Sunday's voice was also transmitted to Lin Qiong and the others through the theater's broadcasting system.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, welcome to the Pinocchio Grand Theatre."

"Stop hiding! It's Sunday, and we're here to stop your crazy plan. Get out here now!"

March 7th stood with his hands on his hips, scanning back and forth on the ceiling dozens of meters high, trying to find the source of Sunday's sound.

"Hehe." Sunday's faint laughter flowed from the broadcast. "Miss March 7th, please be patient. I am currently behind the curtain. Please pass through the curtain in front and move into the Tuning Hall."

Looking at the illuminated curtain ahead, the group exchanged glances, nodded, and slowly walked over.

Lin Qiong walked at the front, and the moment he lifted the curtain, a bright and clear view opened up before him.

Behind the curtain was a spacious theater hall, where faint musical melodies echoed continuously.

Golden lights streamed down from the dome, adding a touch of sanctity to this grand space.

Suspended on the central circular stage, three red ribbons extend out, serving as bridges connecting the various parts of the stage.

Looking from a distance, you can clearly see a figure standing there; that must be Sunday.

......

After crossing the path paved with red ribbons, Lin Qiong and his group went straight to Sunday.

Sunday's gaze slowly swept across their faces, then a faint smile appeared on his lips:

"You've all arrived at the perfect time. The Harmonious Music Ceremony is about to begin, and it would be such a pity if the prelude to 'Harmony' were not with you all..."

"Stop, hold on, put aside the formalities for now, what we're more concerned about is where Walter is right now."

Lin Qiong suddenly raised his voice, interrupting Sunday's words and throwing the topic back to him.

Upon hearing this, Sunday maintained her smile and slowly replied:

"Rest assured, Mr. Walter is in an absolutely safe environment, and I will make sure he is not harmed, no matter how our relationship develops."

March 7th frowned and continued, "Can't you just give Uncle Yang back to us?"

Sunday shook his head and said softly, "Although I have no intention of being enemies with the Star Train, I do not want to have an additional opponent for no reason."

Lin Qiong's eyes darted around, and a mischievous smile crept across his face.

"You probably don't want Pinocchio to suddenly have an envoy who is hostile to you, do you?"

Sunday paused for a moment, but quickly regained her composure and replied:

"As far as I know, that 'Void' messenger has already been banished from Pinocene by the Dream Master."

"No, no, no." Lin Qiong held up his index finger in front of him and gently moved it from side to side. "Do you know General Jingyuan of the Luofu Immortal Ship?"

“I learned a sword technique from his master, so I can be considered one-third of his junior brother. And there’s also the alliance jade he gave me on the train. If you crush it, General Jingyuan will come to your doorstep and kill you without mercy.”

Upon hearing this, Sunday's smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.

"...The messenger of the 'Hunting' mission, huh?"
