Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 336 An Unexpected Twist

"Farewell, visitor from beyond the heavens."

As Lai Gushi finished speaking, the dark red ball of light that had appeared in its palm suddenly expanded outwards by another inch.

Then, the dark red light shone directly on Lin Qiong, instantly enveloping his entire body.

Lin Qiong felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation rushing towards him, as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat.

"Ho...ho!"

Lin Qiong opened his mouth wide, trying his best to inhale a breath of air, but it was as if his surroundings were completely filled with thick water, and no air could get in at all.

The next second, Lin Qiong's vision was obscured by a large area of ​​dark red light.

At the same time, seemingly due to lack of oxygen, his consciousness was becoming blurred.

"Laigu...shi! I'll remember this grudge!"

Before his consciousness completely faded, Lin Qiong mustered his last breath and roared at Lai Gushi: "I... will return here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark red light surrounding them quickly converged towards the center, squeezing Lin Qiong's body and consciousness inward.

Until finally collapsing into an almost invisible point of light, and then even that last point of light completely disappeared.

With this, Lin Qiong bid farewell to the world of Onpharos.

"Now, it's your turn."

After using his administrator privileges to expel Lin Qiong from Onfaros, Lai Gushi turned around and looked at Dan Heng and Kevin, who were standing still.

It repeated the previous steps, raising its right hand, which emitted a dark red light, and first facing Kevin with its palm.

As a dark red light flashed, Kevin's figure quickly disappeared into the light, just like Lin Qiong who had been expelled earlier.

When it was Danheng's turn, Laigushi did the same thing, and the dark red light burst forth once again.

This time, however, Lai Gushi's authority did not allow him to send them away directly, unlike the previous two.

Dan Heng had not disappeared; he was still standing there, and the dark red light that represented administrator privileges seemed to have stopped working.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that several blood-red planktonic creatures are floating lightly beside Dan Heng, circling around his body.

It seems that it was these blood-red planktonic organisms that intercepted Gu Shi's expulsion authority.

"Huh? What is this...?"

Lai Gushi froze instantly, then immediately stopped all movement, fixing his gaze on the few planktonic creatures that had suddenly appeared.

As the maintainer and manager of Onphalus, the imperial scepter, it can observe everything in the world from almost every angle.

Every move of everything in the world is under its surveillance.

However, these few planktonic creatures that appeared out of nowhere broke this ironclad rule.

The existence of these planktonic organisms is like a malicious program that can bypass system detection and has been forcibly injected into the world of Onpharos.

Most importantly, Onphalus actually judged them as legitimate entities!

That's why Lai Gushi failed to discover these planktonic organisms immediately.

"Scanning and assessment in progress... Unable to analyze composition, unable to trace origin... No relevant records found in database..."

"This organism cannot be defined at this time!"

In almost an instant, Lai Gushi accurately located the anomaly of these planktonic organisms.

The only certainty at present is that these planktonic organisms, although born from Onpharos, do not entirely belong to Onpharos.

However, it is precisely because of this "originating from Onphalus" relationship that administrator privileges have no effect on them.

After all, the authority that Lai Gushi possesses cannot interfere with the "native inhabitants" of this world.

This is equivalent to exploiting a loophole.

As long as those planktonic organisms remain around Danheng, Lygus will be unable to expel him from Onfaros.

"Then let's deal with the other one first."

Having no way to deal with Danheng for the time being, Laigushi could only turn to the next target.

Its gaze shifted to Xing, who was standing not far away, and then it walked over.

At this moment, she, like Danheng and Kevin, was imprisoned in place by Lai Gushi using his authority, unable to move.

And the two Golden Descendants beside her—

Bai'er and Aglaia, at this moment, also seemed to be isolated in another world, standing beside Xing like two statues.

However, compared to those who are completely still, Xing can at least move her eyes and speak.

"Come, ancient, scholar!"

Xing's voice trembled slightly with anger as she stared intently at Laigushi, who was walking towards her, and called out his name word by word.

She had witnessed the scene of her companions being imprisoned and Lin Qiong being forcibly expelled from Onfaros.

But she was unable to move and could only be a powerless bystander, letting her anger burn inside her.

"Let me go if you dare!"

Seeing Lai Gushi approaching, Xing could no longer suppress his anger and immediately roared with all his might, "I want to fight you one-on-one!"

Upon hearing this, Lai Gushi slowly stopped, standing about three meters in front of Xing.

It did not respond to Xing's challenge, but instead raised its mechanical right hand, as before, and presented its palm to her.

"Invoke administrator privileges - eviction protocol, execute."

As the electronic voice of the Legus faded, that familiar dark red light burst forth from its palm once more.

Clearly, Lai Gushi didn't intend to waste too much time on Xing.

It needs to expel the star as quickly as possible, and then turn around and find a way to drive Danheng out as well.

However, just as the dark red light was about to devour the star—

Puff, puff, puff.

Several more blood-red planktonic creatures appeared out of nowhere, blocking the dark red light and the star precisely.

"The same old trick?"

Lai Gushi's electronic voice clearly carried a hint of anger: "Meaningless behavior."

As if he had expected it, Lai Gushi suddenly stretched out his other hand and squeezed hard towards the area where the plankton were!

"Invoke administrator privileges - Space Replacement Protocol, execute."

As the words fell.

The space where those planktonic organisms were located seemed to have folded over.

A distinct, independent space, completely different from its surroundings, instantly replaced that area, swallowing all the planktonic organisms into it.

Immediately afterward, with a wave of his hand, the troublesome planktonic creatures vanished from sight.

The space that was replaced has returned to its original state.

After clearing away all interference, Laikushi's mechanical arm rose again, palm facing the star in front of him:

"Now, no one can help you. Say your final goodbye to this world..."

Before Lai Gushi could finish speaking, a broken voice, seemingly from another time and space, suddenly rang out.

"That's...not necessarily true."

The holographic image of the Black Tower appeared briefly beside Xing, like a fleeting flower.

This immediately attracted the attention of Lai Gushi.

"Little guy, catch this!"

Before Gu Shi and Xing could react, the black tower, which appeared for only a moment, tossed an object resembling a chess piece to Xing.

After the object was thrown out, the holographic image of the Black Tower disappeared again.
