A technologically advanced train was traversing the space-time fold.
On the train, the middle-aged man Welt looked at the instruments on the console, frowning slightly as he adjusted his glasses.
"The last signal detected from the Antimatter Legion was here, but now the Antimatter Legion has not only disappeared, but there are also many unseen energy fluctuations, and they are extremely strong."
As he spoke, the car fell into a brief silence.
The train was originally scheduled to go to the Herta Space Station in two days to resupply and pick up March 7th's package, but they encountered a planet being invaded by the Antimatter Legion along the way, so they helped out.
This also delayed their time. They had little energy left, and they had to return to the original planet to replenish their energy after chasing the Antimatter Legion.
But they didn't expect that during the pursuit, these Antimatter Legion members were suddenly instantly killed by a special energy.
The location was even near the coordinates where they received the signal of an accidental explosion last time.
With two strange phenomena in a row, they had to investigate this time.
There were still civilizations on some nearby planets. It would be terrible if they were destroyed by this energy.
Thinking this, the people on the train completed the jump, but as soon as they came out, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
No way? What did we just see?!!
A girl in exquisite, retro-style clothes was quietly standing in space without any protective measures, and she wasn't affected at all!
There's a problem!
Welt and Himeko exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock and solemnity.
Because at this time, the girl had turned her head to look over, her gaze passing through the newly opened space-time fold, staring straight at the people on the train.
The left half of her face was exquisite and beautiful, looking like a cute girl, but the right side of her face was slightly pale, with several black lines surrounding it, and her right eye was also very strange.
More importantly, as the train approached, the instruments could detect the faint special energy fluctuations on this girl.
Just like what they observed before, it seemed that this girl was inseparable from this matter.
"Momoshiki! What exactly are these people?!"
Furina was a little nervous now.
Although Momoshiki said they were cosmic good guys, this imposing aura really didn't make her feel at ease.
"I've heard of them. This train is called the Astral Express. The people on board call themselves Nameless, and they specialize in blazing trails and doing good deeds in the universe."
Momoshiki briefly explained, then, in front of everyone on the train, directly used Yomotsu Hirasaka to cross space and enter the car.
"No way? We just came in like this?!!"
Looking at the beautifully decorated passenger car, Furina was slightly stunned, and the words she was about to say also stopped slightly.
She'd never seen these things before. There was a huge screen on the wall. Why were there little people inside? There was clearly the sound of music, but she didn't see a phonograph.
So magical.
Furina, who had never seen high technology, was immediately deeply attracted by the scene in front of her, but the people in the front car weren't in such a good mood.
"I didn't see that wrong, did I, Pa..."
Train Conductor Pom-Pom swallowed.
Such a big person suddenly drilled into a special space composed of a black barrier, and then the car detected something invading the interior.
How was this like a ghost movie?!!
"It seems that the girl just now entered our car," the cool young man in Xianzhou clothes said with a solemn expression.
"She doesn't seem to have any malice, but we must go and see immediately."
Navigator Himeko said, first opening the door and going out, coming to the passenger car, and seeing Furina curiously looking around, as if she had never seen these things before.
"Uh..."
The harmless appearance made Himeko raise an eyebrow.
Why did this extremely dangerous girl look as harmless as March 7th?
Of course, it would be better if there weren't those terrifying lines.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Furina turned her head to look, seeing a red-haired big sister in white clothes looking at her in confusion, and a sense of tension suddenly surged in her heart.
"Cough... um, hello?"
Furina tentatively waved her hand in greeting.
This wasn't Teyvat, after all, so she didn't put on the airs of the Hydro Archon.
Seeing Furina's performance, Himeko was slightly surprised, then smiled and waved in greeting.
"Hello."
Himeko herself had a gentle feeling that could be a mother, and this light smile could basically make anyone without malice lower their guard.
"Momoshiki, this person doesn't seem to have any malice. We should be able to get along, right?" Furina asked softly in her heart.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter how you get along normally, but remember Klee's famous saying."
"What is Klee's famous saying? Who is Klee?"
The inexplicable words made Furina a little confused.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it. You should talk to the person in front of you more."
Because Furina was asking in her heart, she didn't speak for the time being. Himeko, seeing that the other party didn't make a sound, was silent for a moment.
What was this girl thinking? Sometimes curious, sometimes nervous, sometimes dazed, her behavior was elusive.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, Furina smiled awkwardly, first saying, "Sorry, I was distracted for a moment."
"My name is Furina, from the planet Teyvat. I'm a... uh..."
Introducing herself here, Furina was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
She couldn't directly tell the other party that she was devouring planets everywhere in the universe, right?
"Haha~"
Seeing that Furina didn't know how to introduce herself, Himeko smiled lightly, easing the awkward atmosphere, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Himeko, and I'm the navigator of the Astral Express."
As she was speaking, the others in the car behind her also came out, of course, except for Train Conductor Pom-Pom.
Right now, it was shrinking in the driver's seat, watching the monitor.
"Himeko-nee!"
March 7th rushed out with a bow and arrow.
Seeing the weapon, Furina was startled, subconsciously taking a step back, putting her hands in front of her.
Because the Rinnegan wasn't closed, the two scarlet Rinnegan on her palms were exposed in front of everyone, which was particularly terrifying.
"Ah!"
March 7th, who was unprepared, was obviously also startled by the scene that only existed in horror movies, her footsteps faltering, almost falling. After stabilizing her body, she involuntarily tightened her grip on the bow and arrow.
Dan Heng frowned slightly, clearly feeling the terrifying energy contained in these eyes.
There was an aura of destruction!
And there was a lot of it. Those Antimatter Legion members were likely not simply killed, but devoured!
Seeing this scene, Welt put his hand in front of the two, saying, "March, put the bow and arrow away first. The other party has no malice."
"Huh?" March 7th was stunned for a moment, seeing that Furina also looked nervous and flustered, she understood a little, and nodded blankly, "Oh! Okay."
After the little episode, Himeko said to Furina in a gentle tone, "Sorry, we startled you."
"N-no... it's okay."
Furina waved her hands nervously, forcing a smile, constantly calling Momoshiki in her heart.
"Momoshiki, Momoshiki! Come help me, they all have weapons, so scary!!"
[...]
[Okay.]
Momoshiki fell into a big speechless state.
To be scared by a bow and arrow, truly worthy of being Furina.
Since understanding that this universe was the Honkai universe, Momoshiki's original life creed had also changed.
He originally wanted to continue playing it safe and developing slowly, but in this Honkai universe, it was really easy to die playing it safe.
Only by going all out and developing quickly could he keep up with this bizarre universe, where both the game stats and the plot strength were constantly soaring in each version.
Tsk, not even giving him a chance to slack off...
But why didn't he see the protagonist?
"Um... who are you?" March 7th looked at Furina vigilantly, "Why did you just come into the car without saying hello?!"
When they were in the front car, March 7th didn't understand Welt and Himeko's conversation, but she could also understand that this girl was very dangerous.
Especially since the external instruments also monitored a giant crater that was visible to the naked eye appearing on a planet.
"Well... let me chat with you."
Furina's voice suddenly changed, and her expression also changed from nervous to extremely calm, as if she had suddenly changed into a different person.
Momoshiki took over Furina's body, and the eyes that were as bright as sky-blue gems turned into pure Byakugan without any impurities.
!!!
The unexpected change startled everyone on the train.
So there was a hidden Boss?!
