Chapter 3644 Starworm
The conductor knocked on the door.
No sound was made, but the ripples caused by the vibration of the air had already entered the cab.
About three seconds later.
The door slowly opened, and the whole process was still silent.
When the door was completely opened, a colorful, distorted light and shadow was revealed in front of it.
The conductor was not surprised by this and stepped directly into the light and shadow.
The black boots were surrounded by light and shadow. Soon, the light and shadow seemed to be alive, slowly climbing up from the feet until the conductor was completely covered...
At the same time, a beep sounded in the conductor's ears.
"Identity test passed."
"Time and space correction is in progress——"
"Time and space correction is successful."
"Welcome, three-star conductor, Mr. Starworm."
As the sound fell, the light and shadow also dispersed.
At this moment, the conductor "Starworm" has arrived at the real cab. It's just that the inside of this cab is different from what ordinary people imagine.
Above the head is a transparent glass dome, with a shimmering starry sky projected on the glass.
Through the dome, you can see the void with constantly changing scenes outside.
This exactly corresponds to the scene outside the Xinghai Train.
Under the dome, there is a rotunda hall with a black marble floor. The marble is very smooth, reflecting a thin layer of light under the starry sky projection.
The hall was empty, without any walls or any utensils, not even facilities for driving.
There is only a stone statue in the middle of the hall.
This statue looks like a flame demon, but there is no flame on it, only pieces of falling embers.
As the starworm approached, the embers on the statue peeled off bit by bit like dust.
When the starworm walked to the statue, all the rubble on its body fell off, revealing its "true appearance".
——An owl about one meter tall.
This owl wears a red train conductor's uniform, has a long gray beard, and has no white eyes, only pitch black. If you look closely, you can see a bright sea of stars in the dark pupils.
Starworm stared at the owl in silence.
It was his first time seeing this owl.
Judging from its red uniform, this owl is undoubtedly a conductor. I just don’t know where the conductor of this shift ranks among the Star Masters?
The order is very important and represents the importance the Star Master attaches to it. The higher the ranking, the more favored the star master is, and the more comprehensive its abilities are.
However, for conductors like Starworm, the order is actually not that important. The most important thing is its character.
As long as his personality isn't as bad as the previous demon, that's fine.
After all, for the rest of the journey, if nothing unexpected happens, Starworm will work with the train conductor in front of him.
Starworm prayed silently in his heart and made a half-kneeling salute to the owl.
"No gifts."
The owl seemed to have just woken up, stretched out, and then slowly spoke.
Its voice is not as aged as its appearance, but rather young, but its tone is rather lazy, as if it has not woken up.
Starworm stood up, still lowering his head.
"You are the only three-star conductor on the 199th auxiliary train, Starworm."
Starworm nodded: "Yes, distinguished conductor."
The owl did not speak immediately, but looked down at the broken statue on the ground: "It turns out that my last train conductor was No. 141. That guy was very mean. You can survive under him and be promoted to three stars. It’s not easy either…”
Starworm didn't dare to answer the question. The owl in front of him was also a Star Master and could be numbered 141 at will. However, it was just a train conductor and it didn't dare to say anything bad about the Star Master. Even if the other party is a former boss, it won't work.
"Nice to meet you. My number is No. 005. As you can see, I'm just a frail owl in old age." At this point, the owl train conductor coughed a few times to show weakness.
However, Starworm was not deceived by the opponent's "weak" posture at all.
He was even more nervous inside.
If he had skin, he would probably have chills rising by now.
005!
These are the top five rankings of Star Lords!
The higher the order, the more terrifying it is. Starworm has been on train 199 of Xinghai Train for thousands of years, and the largest number he has ever come into contact with is No. 141.
Thinking of No. 141's methods, Starworm already felt incredible.
The top five rankings are probably even more terrifying.
Although Starworm has not seen the abilities of the first five sequences, he does not dare to underestimate the opponent at all. What frail old owl? This is a lie.
Although Starworm didn't speak or make any small movements, how could the Owl Train Conductor not know what he was thinking.
It just said with a smile: "I'm not lying. Regardless of my high ranking, it's just because I'm more popular..."
Starworm naturally didn't believe it, and just said in a very formal way: "Dear conductor, you are here in person this time. I wonder which star track we will take next?"
Owl: "Are you getting into a routine so quickly? You just came here, shouldn't you ask me first if I want to take a rest?"
Starworm did not answer the call, but said to himself: "The Xinghai train cannot stop for a moment... Now, it is about to arrive at the station, and the train conductor needs to plan a new journey."
The owl waved its wings: "Okay, okay, I will personally draw up a new star path when I get to the station."
"A new star track?" Starworm was stunned: "A star track that is not in sub-row 199?"
"Yes, the new star track will lead to the dream world." The owl nodded: "This is the section of the road that the star master finally negotiated... The star track has never been paved into the dream world in the past, and this time it is considered the first time. ”
"Dream world?" Starworm: "Are there any living beings there who want to board the train?"
"I don't know." Owl shook his head: "However, the Star Lord said that there are some interesting things happening outside the dream world. Let me go and find out..."
“Maybe we’ll meet some old friends.”
Star Lord sent him here just because of his "connections".
The owl walked to the edge of the dome with a smile, looking out into the void, his eyes twinkling.
After a moment of silence, the owl turned to look at the starworm: "We will discuss the new star trajectory issue later. Let's deal with the issues left over from the previous one first."
"Tell me, what mess did No. 141 leave behind?"
As the only three-star conductor on train 199, Starworm has a complete grasp of everything on the train. When faced with the owl's questions, he immediately started talking.
After a while, Starworm finished talking about all the events.
Owl yawned and said softly: "Although there are a lot of messes, they are all small things. Only the problem of Cat Doss has not been solved."
Starworm: "Cat Doss? Is he the guest who was exiled by the former conductor?"
Starworm was a little confused, it was normal for the Star Sea Train to be exiled.
As long as you violate the taboos on the train, you may be exiled.
The so-called taboos refer to the rules set by the conductor...
The conductor of Train No. 141 needs to burn a living heart as a snack every once in a while. The provider of the heart is the guest on the train.
It will pick a guest at random, and if the guest refuses, they risk being banished.
Not long ago, the former train conductor chose Doss the Cat to provide a heart, but what he wanted was not the heart of Doss the Cat himself, but the heart of the kitten in his arms.
From Starworm's point of view, this was considered preferential treatment.
But Mao Doss refused without hesitation, because the other party got on the train with a ticket, so the former conductor could not kill him directly.
Then he was banished.
Just when the Star Sea Train crosses time and space, banish him...his ending can basically be locked, and he can only die along the way.
After all, not everyone can resist the tide of time and space.
Starworm had no complaints about the former conductor's handling of the situation. Because Cat Doss did violate the taboo.
In his opinion, this matter is not a big problem. Why would the owl say this was something that was not handled well?
"Why?"
Why? The owl chuckled lightly and looked at Starworm: "The reason is very simple. Cat Doss is not only an obsession in the Tewari world, but also marked by the time thief. There are two miracles behind him."
"Being favored by two miraculous beings, especially one who is a time thief, is not simple."
"Exile is not a good option. Because based on the opponent's inner strength, there is a high probability that he will not die if he is exiled."
"The best way to deal with it is to find a way to make him violate the taboo further until the shelter brought by the ticket disappears and completely annihilates him, his soul and consciousness. This is the correct way to deal with it."
This is what is called...preventing things before they happen and taking precautions before they happen.
Starworm: "...then turn around now?"
If Cat Doss is not dead, you should be able to find it by turning around now.
"You can find it, but it's no longer necessary." The owl waved its wings to show no need.
Starworm: "...why?"
The owl took a deep look at the starworm and said, "As a creature of the starry sky, you should read more about the Train Instructor's Manual."
Starworm didn't understand.
Owl said calmly: "My plan just now was to deal with it from No. 141's point of view. Now I am the conductor of deputy train 199. I don't want to deal with this kind of thing."
Starworm probably understood. He thought for a moment and asked curiously: "Then if you encounter the situation of Cat Doss, how will you deal with it?"
The owl yawned: "Don't ask me, this won't happen to me."
"Okay, since these problems are just trivial matters, then don't delay, just go to the station, send all the guests away, and I will prepare to lay a new star track."
Starworm nodded and walked out of the hall.
After passing through a burst of colorful light and shadow, he returned to the carriage.
Walking forward step by step, every time he arrived at a carriage, he would directly open the door and say to the guests with different expressions in the carriage: "We have arrived at the station, welcome to the Xinghai Train."
There was clearly a dark void outside the train, but after the guests stepped off, they each arrived at the place they wanted to reach.
Some of the guests sent off by the same car door can even span infinite planes from each other.
But they happened to go through the same door, but arrived at different locations at the same time.
This is the Xinghai Train.
A miraculous creation.
After seeing off 70% of the passengers, Starworm finally closed the door and signaled to other conductors to greet the passengers who were still in the carriage.
"The next journey will be a new one. I hope you can find your home in the new journey."
After the voices of the train attendants fell, Xingchong prepared to go to the cab to see if the new train conductor had laid the star track.
But before he left, the sound of an owl came to his ears.
Xingchong was stunned for a moment and returned to the carriage.
He signaled to other train attendants.
After a while, the voice of the train attendant sounded again in different carriages: "I'm sorry, the passengers who are still in the carriage will not be allowed to get off or stop in the middle of the journey due to special reasons."
"So, good night, everyone."
After speaking, a hissing sound sounded in the carriage, and a faint mist was continuously released from the door gap and the holes in the pipes.
After a while, the mist filled the entire Xinghai train.
All the passengers on the train who had not yet gotten off fell into a coma under the effect of the mist.
After the passengers fell asleep, Xingchong looked at the other train attendants.
"You guys should take a rest too."
The train attendants' eyes flashed with confusion: "Master Starworm, is there anything special about the next journey?"
Under normal circumstances, even if it is across dimensions, it will not be so grand. Not only are all the carriages deliberately closed, but even the platforms for stopping are not set up.
Even those powerful guests are forced to fall asleep.
When they wake up, these guests will definitely cause a lot of problems.
But the train conductor still made this decision, which made everyone very confused.
Starworm sighed: "I don't know what the situation is, but I can tell you that the train conductor this time is the top ten."
There were exclamations in the carriage.
When the top ten come, something big must happen. No wonder all the guests fall into a coma...
Starworm no longer explained, signaling other train attendants to return to their workstations, and he walked along the long corridor to the driver's cabin.
When he passed a series of tests and entered the familiar dome hall.
He suddenly found that the originally transparent dome suddenly became blurred.
It was as if a layer of fog was added, turning the transparent glass into frosted glass.
"You are here... No need to look outside, I have set it up outside. There are some things that you are not suitable to see now, otherwise it is easy to go crazy." The voice came from the owl standing in front of the frosted glass.
Crazy? Starworm had a question in his mind, but he did not ask more. After wandering in time and space and dimensions for so many years, he had long understood how deep the darkness was hidden outside the Star Spirit World.
Fortunately, he became a train conductor, otherwise he would go crazy the moment he landed.
"Sir, is the star track ready? Can we move forward?"
Owl stroked his long white beard and turned his head and said, "I thought you would ask me first why all the guests were put into deep sleep."
Starworm: "Your Excellency has your reasons for doing this."
Owl smiled: "The star track has been laid long ago, and, didn't you notice? The train has actually entered the range of the dream world, otherwise do you think they can fall asleep so easily?"
