Chapter 56: We still ran into each other.
"Huh? In that case, doesn't that mean we'll run into that troublesome guy Jepard again?"
March 7th frowned slightly, his tone tinged with worry.
Perhaps because Jepard easily blocked her barrage of arrows last time, March 7 always felt that she and Jepard were not very compatible.
"Since you've put it that way, then we're definitely going to run into him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong turned his head to look at March 7 and then retorted.
"...Hey! Qiong, what do you mean?!"
Lin Qiong's words displeased March 7. She glared at Lin Qiong fiercely, her face showing displeasure.
"No, no, I just wanted to vent."
Realizing that March 7 might have misunderstood what he said, Lin Qiong quickly waved his hand to clarify.
"Look, before we encountered some strange and unusual things, didn't you roughly describe all the possible outcomes?"
"And in the end, did most of those possible outcomes come true?"
Upon hearing this, March 7th involuntarily recalled what had happened before, and then nodded thoughtfully.
"It seems...there might be such a thing?"
"It's not just a feeling, it definitely happened, and more than once!"
Xing, who had been standing quietly listening to the two chatting, suddenly chimed in.
Lin Qiong's words reminded her of her experiences in the space station, whether at the elevator entrance or when fighting the Doomsday Beast.
Every single result predicted on March 7th has come true.
Those who didn't know better would think that March 7th learned the art of words from Kafka, and that his words were so effective, as if they were blessed.
"Star! Even you..."
Just as March 7 was about to speak in rebuttal, Hiluva's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her.
"Alright, now's not the time for idle chatter. Let's get started on the bridge."
With that, Hiluva walked toward the end of the bridge, which was not far away.
Seeing this, Lin Qiong and March 7 immediately stopped arguing and followed closely behind Xiluwa along with the others.
Subsequently, when everyone arrived at the bridge control terminal, Shiluwa quickly walked to the control terminal and skillfully began to operate it.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the bridge, like a giant beast awakened, began to slowly rotate.
As the gears at the bottom began to operate, the rotating bridge emitted a series of deep rumbling sounds.
Finally, under Silva's control, the bridge rotated to the correct direction, and the road leading to the front line appeared before everyone's eyes.
"All done! Let's go, it's time for the front lines."
After adjusting the bridge's direction, Shiluwa left the control terminal and then walked slowly to the group with a smile on her face.
"Your younger brother might also be on the front lines... Is that alright?"
Seeing Shiluwana's relaxed appearance, Danheng suddenly asked her a question.
No matter what, Jepard is her family. When faced with a loved one standing against them, most people feel conflicted and find it difficult to make a decision.
Hiluva was no exception. Upon hearing Danheng's question, she, who had been smiling, suddenly lowered her head, and her expression gradually became complicated.
"...Probably. It's best if we don't run into him. If we do, then we'll just have to try talking to him..."
Hiluva sighed softly, a bitter smile playing on her lips, looking somewhat helpless.
"But if a fight really breaks out, I will definitely stand on your side."
As she spoke, Hiluva, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head and gave everyone a gentle smile.
"After all, I want to see for myself what that so-called 'star core' actually looks like."
Hearing Xiluwa's words, Danheng nodded in relief, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and then said no more.
At this moment, Lin Qiong had already stepped onto the bridge leading to the front line, ahead of everyone else.
He stood on the bridge and turned back to the crowd still standing there, shouting, "Let's go over and see what happens; we don't know if a fight will break out."
"Hey! Wait for us!"
Seeing Lin Qiong run onto the bridge alone, March 7th hurriedly called out, then pulled up the bewildered Xing and ran towards the bridge.
Seeing this, the others also realized what was happening and immediately lifted their legs to follow closely behind March 7 and the others.
Afterwards, the group slowly made their way along the bridge toward the front line.
After reaching the other side of the bridge, Hiluva was sharing her past with Lin Qiong and the others.
At this moment, March 7th suddenly asked Hiluva with a curious look, "Speaking of which, Hiluva, if you were to fight your brother, could you beat him?"
The question that March 7th suddenly raised startled Hiluva slightly, and then she gently shook her head.
"That's hard to say. I haven't fought with him since he enlisted. He couldn't beat me when we were kids, but now..."
Before Hiluva could finish speaking, Danheng's eyes suddenly sharpened; he seemed to have sensed danger.
"careful!"
Dan Heng gave a low shout, and his voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone stopped and focused their attention on Dan Heng, wanting to understand why he had suddenly issued a warning.
Just then, a strange object suddenly slammed down in front of Lin Qiong and the others with a loud "thud."
However, the enormous impact of the falling object, like a bomb, violently ripped up the snow on the ground, sending it flying in all directions.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on the object, and when they saw its appearance clearly, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The object looked like a giant guitar case.
Apart from Seele, everyone else present recognized the origin of the object.
Because this object, which looks like a guitar case, is the weapon that Jepard always carries with him.
Now that his weapon has appeared before everyone, it means that Jepard must also be nearby.
"The 'musical case,' huh... I still ran into him."
Hiluva murmured softly, not showing any particular surprise, as if she had expected all of this.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the instrument case.
"Sister...it really was you."
As the sound appeared, a young blond man slowly emerged from behind the violin case, followed by many Silvermane Iron Guards armed with weapons.
"I never imagined you'd help the 'outsiders' invade this place..."
