Chapter 191 The Moon Where There's Nothing?
"Ready?"
The head of the Byron family spoke first, his voice steady, carrying the words of an elder's advice: "The moon's fluctuations are unpredictable, so do not be hasty in any situation. The communication channels will remain open for you at all times."
V stepped forward and handed You Ming a small interstellar positioning badge: "This is an emergency locator. Press it when attacked or lost contact, and we will receive a signal immediately."
IV couldn't help but interject, gesturing with his chin towards the two: "Yu Ming, Kaito, don't hold back when we get to the moon! If you don't even get a No..."
If you can't find it, I'll deal with you all first!
The surrounding Byron family technicians waved and smiled, saying, "Lord Yu Ming, Lord Kaito, have a safe journey!"
"We absolutely must bring back the original No. 62!"
Words of encouragement fell on his ears, and You Ming smiled and nodded. Kaito also nodded slightly in response.
Their gazes finally settled on the Kurosaki siblings. Hayabusa nodded to Yu Ming, his tone concise yet forceful: "Take care of yourself, and keep an eye on this kid too."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Kaito on the shoulder, offering a hint of advice.
As Liuli watched Youming about to board the ship, a thousand words stuck in her throat, finally turning into a trembling admonition, her eyes slightly red: "Youming, Kaito, you must be careful—remember to let us know you're safe when you get to the moon, and don't be reckless or push yourself too hard during the duel—"
Her voice grew softer as she spoke, her worry almost overflowing. Her usually bright eyes were now filled with reluctance and concern.
Her hand gripped the hem of her clothes even tighter, as if she could send her heartfelt wishes to the two who were about to embark on their journey to the stars.
Seeing her like this, You Ming paused, raised his hand and gave her a "don't worry" gesture. His voice came through the launch site's loudspeaker, clear and confident: "Don't worry, Ruri, Kaito and I will definitely bring No back. Wait for us."
Kaito nodded to Ruri, a gentle look in his eyes: "It'll be alright, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, the two did not hesitate any longer, turned around and boarded the spaceship. The hatch slowly closed, cutting off their sight of each other.
Liuli subconsciously took a step forward, then stopped abruptly, her gaze still fixed on the spaceship's hatch, as if she could see the people inside through the metal door.
Soon, the warning lights on the launch pad began flashing frantically, their red glow illuminating the entire morning mist. The broadcast announced the technicians' instructions: "All personnel evacuate the safety zone! Spacecraft launch countdown begins! Ten, nine, eight—"
Everyone retreated and stood outside the safety line. Liuli's palms were sweaty, her fingers gripped Falcon's arm tightly, and her eyes were fixed on the spaceship.
"Three, two, one! Ignition! Launch!"
As the command was given, a dazzling blue-white flame suddenly shot out from the bottom of the spacecraft, and the enormous thrust shoved the spacecraft away from the launch pad.
The roar was deafening, and the shockwave whipped the hair of those around them into the air.
The silver-white spaceship, trailing a long fiery contrail, slowly rose into the air, passing through the morning mist and flying towards the azure sky.
The spaceship gradually shrank until it became a single point of light, disappearing into the horizon and heading towards the distant Milky Way.
Only when the spaceship was completely out of sight did Liuli slowly withdraw her gaze, but her brows remained tightly furrowed, and the worry in her eyes did not diminish at all.
She gently tugged at Falcon's sleeve beside her, her voice tinged with uncertainty and trepidation.
As if asking Falcon, or as if talking to himself: "Brother, do you think... Yu Ming and the others might run into some trouble?"
The moon is so far away —
Her voice was soft and full of unease; even the corners of her mouth drooped, and the composure she had just maintained vanished.
That composure vanished the moment the spacecraft lifted off.
Seeing her like this, the head of the Byron family walked over slowly, a gentle smile on his face, and softly comforted her: "Young friend, there is no need to worry. We have all witnessed You Ming's strength. He is meticulous and calm in the face of adversity, and is by no means a reckless person."
Kaito is also a top-tier fighter; if the two of them team up, even if they encounter an enemy, the enemy might not be able to gain the upper hand.
V nodded in agreement, his tone resolute: "You Ming had already taken all sorts of unforeseen circumstances into account before setting off."
The spaceship is equipped with the most advanced defense systems, and all communications are encrypted. Even if someone from a merged dimension wanted to take action, it wouldn't be so easy.
III added, "Moreover, our interplanetary monitoring satellites will track the spacecraft's trajectory throughout the entire process. Once an anomaly is detected, an early warning will be issued immediately. He's so capable, he'll be fine."
Kurosaki Hayato patted his sister's head, his tone softening with a brotherly reassurance: "Don't worry, that kid's tough. And with Kaito around, nothing's wrong. Let's go back and wait for news."
Listening to the words of comfort and encouragement from everyone, Liuli looked at the horizon where the spaceship disappeared and nodded gently.
The anxiety in her eyes subsided slightly, but she still couldn't help but worry in her heart.
She raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear and prayed silently in her heart.
At that moment, inside the silver-white spaceship that had broken through the atmosphere, You Ming was leaning against the porthole.
The silver-white interstellar spaceship broke through the moon's gravitational barrier and landed steadily on a barren, gray lunar surface.
The hatch slowly opened, and a cold wind carrying a faint sense of weightlessness and fine fragments of lunar soil rushed in.
You Ming was the first to step out of the spaceship. The goggles of his spacesuit automatically adjusted the light as he raised his hand to brush away the moon dust that drifted in front of his eyes.
Looking at the blue Earth suspended in the distance, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, "My first time on the moon, and I never imagined it would be for a No card. This journey has certainly broadened my horizons."
Kaito Amagi followed closely behind, his interstellar probe constantly scanning, his fingertips swiping rapidly across the screen.
However, the area that should have displayed the energy reaction of the ruins was just a lifeless blank space.
His brow furrowed deeper and deeper as the detector repeatedly scanned the coordinates provided by the Byron family, but it failed to detect even a trace of building debris or energy fluctuations.
Something's not right.
Kaito put away the detector, looked at Yu Ming, and said with a questioning tone, "The Byron family's interstellar positioning is never wrong."
But there's nothing here except lunar rocks and craters. Where did this so-called interstellar relic come from? Could the news be fake?
You Ming also felt something was amiss. He raised his hand and touched a cold piece of moon rock beside him, feeling a rough texture on his fingertips.
He was about to reach into the intercom to contact the Baron family when V's calm voice came through first.
A faint electrical buzzing came from the communicator, transmitted via a pre-programmed lunar communication band: "Yu Ming, Kaito, there's no need to search for physical remains. It's normal that your probes can't detect them."

Both of them focused their attention and leaned towards the earpieces next to their ears.
