Chapter 401 Cooperation
"Boom boom boom..."
A knock came at the door.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Eve pushed open the door and walked in, only to find that everyone's eyes were on her.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Eve come in.
"That scared me to death! I thought it was some kind of weird or supernatural force again." March 7th caught his breath.
"Why do you say that? Do I really look that much like a monster?" A dangerous glint flashed in Eve's eyes.
"No, cough cough, it's because Eve used to always be flashing around." March 7th said to herself.
"Going through the door is still my problem." Eve was speechless.
"Mom Eve, where did you go just now?" Xing asked worriedly.
Since Eve disappeared after she woke up, Xing has been worried about her.
“Yes, Miss Eve, everyone is very worried about you,” Walter Young added.
"Someone just approached me to discuss a deal."
Eve told her about the gold dust.
"So, he wants to cooperate with the train crew?" Walter Young pondered.
"We were just talking about this gold dust. Is it used to protect against the underworld?" March 7th wondered.
Judging from Eve's words, Sand Gold believes that everything that happened in Pinocchio was because of the Yellow Springs.
"Huang Quan? Who is she?" Walter Yang had never seen Huang Quan before.
“She claims to be a sea patrol knight, but I sensed a power of nothingness emanating from her,” Eve explained.
"The power of nothingness? Could it be the self-destructor?" Walter Yang wondered.
He seemed to have seen information about self-destructionists in the train's think tank.
But what are the self-destructors doing in Pinocene?
“But I feel that Huang Quan is quite friendly. Is it really her who did it?” Xing was skeptical of Sand Gold’s words.
After all, Huang Quan had saved them once before.
Everyone fell silent.
The clues are numerous and complex, the events are shrouded in mystery, and no one knows who is telling the truth.
"By the way, I've already seen the robin's remains."
“She was also infected by the dream virus,” Eve said.
"Just as I thought, we should have guessed it when we saw the robin turn into a monster," March 7 said regretfully.
Who could have imagined that such a global superstar would fall from grace like this? Anyone would feel regretful in this situation.
“Besides the virus, the robin is also covered with an aura of destruction,” Eve suddenly changed the subject.
"What? Another aura of destruction?" Walter Yang's expression turned serious.
Once could be considered an accident, twice could be considered a coincidence, but the third time something was definitely not right.
"Destruction? But didn't Danheng say that the forces of destruction haven't come to Pinocone yet?" March 7 asked, puzzled.
“Indeed, I just contacted Danheng, and he said that no other fleets have arrived at Pinocchio since then,” Jingyuan said as well.
“They’re not coming,” Eve suddenly said.
"Why?" March 7 asked in confusion.
“Because they are already dead, killed by the blade of the underworld,” Eve said.
"this......"
Eve's words silenced everyone once again.
The Darkfire Grand Duke, who was notorious in the universe, died so hastily?
"I think there's some truth to the idea of placer gold."
Upon hearing this news, Walter Young had no choice but to re-evaluate Huang Quan's importance.
Even though she expressed a friendly attitude, she still had to be on guard.
“But I always feel that the reason why Sand Gold accused Miss Huang Quan is also very subtle. Uncle Yang, should we believe what he said?” March 7th hesitated.
"At this point, we can probably only trust ourselves."
Walter Young sighed.
"In short, try to gather information first and list as many possibilities as possible. Then eliminate the contradictions one by one. The fewer facts left, the more likely it is to be the truth."
"But I always have a feeling... even after everything that's happened, we're still stuck in the vortex of 'legacy'..."
"This time we're really going to play the role of a great detective for real!!" March 7th became inexplicably excited.
"But how should we respond to the question about placer gold before the investigation begins?"
As soon as Jing Yuan said this, everyone's attention turned to Eve.
“I have already agreed to the gold dust.”
"However, it is in my personal capacity."
"As for the Star Train, that's a decision everyone needs to make," Eve said.
Walter Young thought for a moment, "Since Miss Eve has agreed, then the train crew also agrees to this."
Jing Yuan nodded, "Yes, and besides, this is the family's territory. Cooperating with him should make things much easier later on."
"So I think it's not a bad thing to build more connections."
"Moreover, cooperating with the company is also a way to maintain checks and balances."
“Uncle Yang, you’re right, but with Eve around, it seems like we’ll probably be directly categorized as part of the company by the family…” March 7th weakly raised her hand.
Walter Young remained silent.
I forgot that Eve is a company director.
Although Eve said she wasn't representing the company, it still depends on whether the family believes her!
In short, we must proceed with caution.
“The fact that the family has already invited us shows that we still have a certain level of credibility with them.”
"Miss Eve, I'll leave the liaison work with the gold dust company to you."
Eve nodded slightly, indicating that it was no problem.
"By the way, Miss Eve, is there any progress on Himeko's matter?" Jingyuan asked worriedly.
Himeko was still lying in the Dream Pool at this moment.
Eve sighed. "I'm sorry, not yet."
"However, I have already been using the Void System and the Intelligence Engine to analyze it with all my might."
"There's no need to worry about Himeko's safety for now."
Hearing Eve say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Himeko is alright, that's all that matters.
“Now, let’s split up.” Walter Young stood up.
“Eve is leading the Star mission, and I'm leading Little March.”
"Jingyuan, I'll leave it to you to take care of Himeko here," Walter Yang said to Jingyuan.
Himeko's current situation is stable, but it is also very dangerous.
Therefore, there must be someone strong enough to protect Himeko, otherwise it is easy for someone to take advantage of the situation.
Jing Yuan was the perfect candidate.
“I understand.” Jing Yuan nodded.
A Guan Dao (a type of halberd) materialized in his hand.
Jing Yuan's original array sword was broken when he fought against Shu Hu in Luofu. In his haste to leave, he grabbed this standard Guan Dao.
He initially thought it had just broken, but he only just realized that the Guan Dao broke in his dream, meaning the real Guan Dao was still intact.
"So you're saying..."
Xing seemed to remember something, and with a wave of her hand, a baseball bat appeared in her grasp.
"really!"
She knew it! This baseball bat is a rare artifact contained by the Black Tower Space Station. It's incredibly hard, and with the added power of destruction, how could it be crushed so easily?
"Let's go, let's go and meet the family."
Walter Young led the way, guiding everyone out of the room.
