Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 220 Onpharos?

Lin Qiong's brows furrowed tightly as he glanced back and forth between his companion and Sunday, his thoughts racing wildly through his mind like a runaway horse.

All eyes in the room fell on Lin Qiong. The carriage was so quiet that only faint breathing could be heard, along with the crunching sound of Huang Quan eating a peach.

Everyone was silently waiting for Lin Qiong to cast that decisive vote.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just follow your heart and cast your vote."

Seemingly sensing Lin Qiong's inner turmoil, Ji Zi stepped forward, gently patted Lin Qiong's shoulder, and spoke softly.

"No matter what the final outcome is, everyone will choose to face it together with you."

Lin Qiong was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously raised his head to meet Ji Zi's trusting gaze. His inner concerns began to slowly fade away.

“Himeko is right.” March Seven nodded and chimed in, “Although I don’t really like Sunday, if the vote passes and everyone thinks he’s fine, then I’ll try to believe him this once.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong slowly turned his head to look at his companions. He saw that they all had smiles of approval on their faces, as if they had tacitly agreed with what March 7 had said.

At that moment, the last trace of concern in Lin Qiong's heart vanished without a trace.

"Phew... I understand." Lin Qiong let out a long breath, his eyes gradually becoming firm, and then his gaze turned and landed directly on Sunday.

"Hey, Sunday, I only have one question for you." Lin Qiong said seriously, lowering his voice and speaking steadily, "I will cast this final vote based on your answer."

"...One question?" After a long silence, Sunday slowly opened her eyes, met Lin Qiong's gaze, and nodded calmly. "Ask away. As long as it's something I know, I will answer truthfully."

Seeing that Sunday agreed so readily, Lin Qiong took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and asked:

"I ask you, if you join the Star Train, can you guarantee that you will never do anything that endangers the safety of the train or the people on board under any circumstances?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Qiong regretted them.

To be honest, he originally planned to test Sunday first to see if this guy was secretly colluding with the families on Pinocchio and preparing to use the Star Train to achieve some kind of goal.

After all, the only reason he was able to board the train on Sunday was because the Star Train had accepted a commission from his family.

But for some reason, Lin Qiong suddenly had a sudden impulse and subconsciously put the safety of the train as his primary concern.

That's why Lin Qiong couldn't help but ask Zhou Ri this question without thinking.

However, since the question has already been raised, let's hear how Sunday answered it.

In any case, the safety of the train was also one of his biggest concerns...

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong didn't intend to urge him. He simply narrowed his eyes slightly and patiently waited for Sunday's answer.

......

"Hmm..." After hearing Lin Qiong's question, Sunday frowned slightly, lowered his head, and seemed to be thinking about the question.

A few seconds later, Sunday suddenly looked up and replied solemnly:

"While I'm not sure if this will earn your trust, I promise that during our journey together, I will strictly adhere to the 'order' on the Star Train and do my utmost to fulfill my duties as a companion."

"That is... if you or the train encounter any danger, I will do my best to lend a helping hand."

After speaking, Sunday placed his right hand on his left chest, bowed slightly, and sincerely greeted everyone present with a hand salute.

“Following the ‘order’…” Lin Qiong looked at Sunday and repeated the words softly to himself.

In the original context, Lin Qiong was actually reluctant to believe Sunday.

After all, at that time in the Pinocchio Theatre, the Sunday that was transformed into God was truly intended to unleash the primordial being to crush all those who wanted to stop him from building his dream.

Moreover, normally no one would be willing to believe someone who might want to kill them, even if that person is eventually exonerated.

However, after careful consideration, Lin Qiong finally decided to give Sunday a chance.

On the one hand, considering that Sunday will suddenly join the Star Train, it may be part of the later plot. If we really refuse to let him on the train, there may be some unpredictable consequences.

On the other hand, Lin Qiong knew that as a remnant of "Order" on Sunday, his words and actions would be subject to "Order" to some extent.

Since Sunday just promised to abide by the "order" of the Starry Sky Train, why not try to give him some trust?

"It doesn't matter if I don't believe him as a person, but I should at least believe in the 'Order' Star God, right?" Lin Qiong pondered to himself, "Even though Taiyi is long gone..."

Thinking of this, Lin Qiong raised his head, looked at Sunday again, and said, "Very good, I remember what you just said."

"I can agree to let you join the Star Train, but let me make this clear first: agreement does not mean trust. If you dare to show even the slightest intention to harm the train, I will definitely throw you off the train."

Upon hearing this, Sunday nodded solemnly and replied in a deep voice, "I will certainly keep these words in mind."

......

Finally, with Lin Qiong's approval, Sunday was able to join the Starry Sky Train and temporarily become one of its members.

Then, Himeko, who was the train's navigator, began to introduce Sunday to some basic information about the Starry Sky Train, as well as other rules that needed to be followed.

Upon hearing this on Sunday, she looked enlightened and politely replied, "I see. Thank you for informing me, Miss Himeko."

Himeko nodded slightly, revealing a gentle smile:

"You're welcome. If there's anything else you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."

Just as the introduction ended, the bus door opened, and Pam swayed out of the door.

As soon as she stepped into the observation car, Pam looked around and saw that everyone was there. She happily announced, "Everyone's here. Perfect, Pam, let's have a quick flight meeting."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Pam, with March 7th reacting the fastest. The moment he heard that a flight route meeting was about to begin, he immediately raised his voice and asked:

"Hey! Is it time to decide on the next stop? Pam, tell us about all the places!"

“Don’t rush, March 7th passenger,” Pam said slowly, placing her hands on what was indistinguishable as either legs or waist. “This conductor was just about to explain.”

"Our first choice is the ocean planet provided by Himeko..."

Pam had barely uttered a few words when a female voice that sounded strangely familiar to Lin Qiong came from inside the carriage.

"I apologize for disturbing you all, but I would like to ask you to adjust your upcoming itinerary and change your destination to Onfaros."
