Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3656 Train Conductor

What does it mean to perform a magic trick on a living person?

This is called a miracle.

Time went back to a few seconds ago. When Angel handed the re-mixed one liter of "Starry Sky" to the Starworm, the Starworm did not hesitate at all. It stretched out its dark fingers and reached into the cup of water.

The next second, the "starry sky" in the water cup began to boil, and in an instant it turned into a dark curtain, wrapping the starworm from head to toe.

Then, amid the surprised gazes of everyone.

The dark curtain draped over the starworm's body began to slowly fade away.

It's like a snake shedding its skin, or like the true appearance is revealed after washing away the makeup.

The moment the black film completely dissipated, the starworm finally revealed its new "skin".

He wore a dark blue hat with a gold emblem on his head, and a dark blue uniform with a white edge. Perhaps because of the uniform, his shoulders were padded and straight.

A finely woven golden ribbon extends from below the epaulettes to the chest pocket, and connected to the ribbon is a pure white cape.

He was wearing a full set of gold accessories and his leather boots were also shiny.

If you ignore his face, he looks like a tall handsome man in uniform.

Of course, if you look at the face, it would be a little weird; because the face of the starworm is still a dark and mysterious sea of ​​stars.

Perhaps the Starworm noticed that everyone was staring at its face. It pondered for a moment, then raised its white-gloved hand to cover its face.

The dark sea of ​​stars under the white gloves began to change rapidly.

When his hand fell, a living "person" appeared in front of everyone.

Its face, no, it should be said... "his" face, has appeared.

This is a handsome man with a long middle face and a slightly hooked nose, which is thin and light in color. The most eye-catching thing is a red scar that runs from his forehead through his narrow eyes.

Combined with his originally light red eyes, he looked quite ferocious.

Starworm looked at his current appearance in the reflection of the water cup and seemed quite satisfied... There was a hint of hesitation and nostalgia in his eyes.

The strange expression on the starworm's face when it looked at itself also attracted Gleipnir's attention.

"Is this what you originally looked like?"

Gleipnir asked curiously.

Starworm shook his head: "No, you have all seen my original appearance before."

A dark deep space, filled with the shadows of stars and nebulae, this is the original appearance of star worms.

Gleipnir: "Then your current appearance..."

Starworm: "This is what my previous master looked like."

After a pause, Starworm continued, "Before sending me here, Sir Owl once said that when in Rome, follow the local customs. This is the most basic etiquette."

"So, I just thought about it and decided to change to a more acceptable appearance."

"My previous master died due to some ignorant and reckless behavior. Fortunately, I can borrow his appearance for use."

As Starworm spoke, he coughed to adjust his voice.

Before, his tone of voice had a distinct "buzzing" sound, as if there was a wall of wind between them, and the eardrums were buzzing when they heard him speak; but now his voice was obviously much clearer, and it was not hard to hear, and his voice was also a little deeper, which matched his current appearance.

"Your previous master..." Gleipnir looked at the starworm's new makeup: "Looks like a human?"

Starworm nodded: "Yes, he is a star spirit sorcerer from the source world."

Celestial Warlock...

Gleipnir's eyes flashed with realization.

That’s right, nine out of ten people who can convince the Star Bugs and make them follow them voluntarily are Star Spirit Warlocks.

Although Gleipnir really wanted to know who the Protoss Warlock that the Starworm mentioned was, considering that it was off-topic and there was no need to ask now, he fell silent again.

"You mentioned Lord Owl just now. Who is it?" Gleipnir thought for a moment and asked.

"It's my superior."

"Did your superior, the Lord Owl as you called him, send you here?"

Starworm nodded: "Yes."

"Then I wonder what your identities are?"

In response to Gleipnir's question, Starworm did not hide anything this time, and gently touched his chest in a standard door-opening ceremony:

"I am the conductor of the Xinghai Train, and Mr. Owl is the conductor of the Xinghai Train."

……

at that time.

When Starworm put on the conductor's uniform, thinking about the badge printed on the black card, Angel and Laplace actually had some guesses in their minds.

But when the starworm revealed his identity and indicated that he was the conductor of the Star Sea Train, Angel's heart still skipped a beat.

Star train!

This is the miracle train that is as famous as the Time Thief and the Heart Theater.

Standing behind him is a miracle!

What is a miracle? It is the existence that can create a miraculous and brilliant light in the cold and dark void!

Before, when Angel first heard about the Star Sea Train, he felt that it was too far away from him and he probably would never be able to touch it in his lifetime.

But who could have thought that he would come into contact with the conductor of the Xinghai Train at such a sudden moment? !

Angel was shocked, and Gleipnir was equally surprised.

Although Starworm is not that miraculous being, the Star Train stands behind him, and he also represents that person's face!

Thinking of this, Gleipnir's heart suddenly tightened.

The conductor of the Star Sea Train represents the face of that miraculous being. Was it inappropriate for her to define the starworm as a "prisoner" just now?

On the other side, Laplace was also thinking secretly, but she was not thinking about the identity of the Starworm. The Starworm had just clearly said that Mr. Owl was the train conductor.

Does that mean that Mr. Owl is the miraculous existence that shines in thousands of dimensions?

If this is true, then the starworms were sent to the Dream Crystal Origin, which means that the miraculous existence is watching them from afar?

When thinking of this possibility, even Laplace, who had lived for ten thousand years, felt his hands and feet begin to stiffen slightly.

The lingering sound of Starworm's words was still lingering in the air, but everyone's hearts seemed to have been silent for countless days.

It was not until half a minute later that Gleipnir's voice broke the stagnation.

"So, the Star Train is outside right now? Mr. Owl is the master of the Star Train?" Gleipnir obviously thought the same thing as Laplace.

She suppressed the slight palpitation in her heart and asked the question that concerned her most.

Starworm: "The Star Train cannot drive in here, but it's not too far from here. As for Sir Owl, it is not the master of the Star Train. It is currently only the train conductor of the deputy train."

Gleipnir was puzzled: "Deputy column?"

Starworm nodded and explained: "The Star Sea Train is divided into the main train and the auxiliary train. There is only one main train, which is the true miracle train. The rest of the auxiliary trains are extensions of miracles."

"And Mr. Owl is the conductor of the No. 199 auxiliary train; I am the conductor of the No. 199 auxiliary train."

Hearing the starworm's answer, Gleipnir breathed a sigh of relief.

So, the one who sent the starworms, that is, the one who targeted the Dream Crystal Origin, was just a deputy train conductor?

Although this is not a good thing, it is at least much easier to accept than being targeted by that miraculous being.

Gleipnir hesitated for a moment and continued to ask, "Why can't the secondary train come in?"

Starworm: "The Star Train's secondary train is not invincible, especially when facing the various powerful creatures in the gap area. Even the Star Train needs to stop and take a detour."

"In other words, there are powerful creatures outside that are preventing the Star Train from approaching?" Gleipnir narrowed his eyes and stared at the starworm.

Starworm nodded noncommittally: "Yes, but I don't know what kind of creature it is."

Gleipnir was actually a little bit unconvinced, but when she caught a glimpse of Angel out of the corner of her eye, she saw that his eyes were clear and he nodded slightly at her, and she immediately realized that what the starworm said must be true.

Gleipnir: "Can you tell me why you are here and the purpose of your being sent here?"

After learning that the starworms came from the Star Train, Gleipnir's tone was obviously much softer than before.

She simply skipped over the title of "prisoner" of Starworm and never mentioned it again.

——Gleipnir claimed that she was not a snob, but sometimes, when the opponent was too powerful, she had to hold back her anger and only speak sweet words.

"can."

Starworm naturally heard the change in Gleipnir's tone, and he could guess the reason. However, he did not relax because of this.

The title of Star Lord is indeed useful, but he also understands that the other party values ​​the Star Lord's background, not him.

Moreover, the Starworm knew very well that even if he really died here, the Star Lord would not care. Therefore, he could not think that he was safe just because the other party softened his attitude.

Besides, up to now, he has not figured out who the target of the mission is.

Perhaps, I could take advantage of her tone softening and test her further?

"Before I answer, can you clear up my confusion for me?" The Starworm seemed to be worried about being rejected. Without waiting for Gleipnir to answer, he pointed in front of him and said, "Can you see this line of words?"

The starworm was referring to a row of text introductions floating on the wooden table.

"Wooden table: A simple wooden table made of walnut, joined by nails. There are obvious marks on the joints, which shows that the carpenter's craftsmanship is not very good. Perhaps it was a practice piece."

Starworm read out the words word by word: "Can only I see this, or can you all see it?"

Gleipnir: "This is a text creation, something unique to this space. You can understand these text descriptions as an introduction to the corresponding things."

Gleipnir was telling the truth, but she was deliberately trying to guide the starworm to think about the "introduction of things", but the starworm didn't fall for it.

"Words?" Starworm immediately grasped the key point: "So, these things are created with words?"

Gleipnir nodded: "That's understandable."

A strange color flashed in the starworm's eyes: "Using words to create things, this ability is extremely rare even in the pan-plane... Can words only create dead things? Can they create living things?"

Gleipnir did not answer, but Angel said softly:

"Are you curious?"

Starworm turned his head and looked at Angel on the other side: "Yes, I am curious."

Angel: "If you are curious, why not go out and take a look."

There was a flash of joy in Starworm's eyes: "Can I go out?"

Angel: “Of course.”

Anyway, this is a text space. It doesn’t make any difference whether you let Starworm stay in the basement or let him go out.

"It's really stuffy here, so I prefer the fresh air outside." Gleipnir did not refute.

So Gleipnir walked ahead and led the starworm out of the basement.

Angel and Laplace walked behind, communicating secretly as they walked...

"He has been telling the truth so far." Angel: "However, I can sense his emotions, and sometimes there will be some unexpected ups and downs."

"Although he was telling the truth, he seemed to have other intentions. I don't know what he was testing, but I felt that he might be confirming the answers to certain questions."

Laplace raised an eyebrow: "Perhaps he is looking for the owner of the Dream Crystal?"

Ingres did not deny it, he actually had such a guess.

The Starworm entered the Dream Crystal Origin, and was sent in by the train conductor, so there must be a purpose. No matter what his purpose is, good or bad, it must be related to the owner of the Dream Crystal Origin.

Either they want to conceal the original owner of the Dream Crystal and do things in secret; or they want to find the original owner of the Dream Crystal and work together.

Therefore, the starworm’s search for the owner of the Dream Crystal Origin is purposeful.

But Ingres was not sure whether it was really looking for himself and needed to observe.

However, compared to these details, what Angel is more concerned about at this time is... the Star Sea Train.

"Although it was a train conductor who came this time, I always have a feeling that perhaps the owner of the Xinghai Train has already known what happened here..."

It would be fine if the Star Sea Train had not been provoked.

Since they have already established some kind of connection with the Star Sea Train, it is almost impossible to conceal the existence of the miracle behind it.

The coordinates of the Dream Crystal Origin have most likely been exposed.

It’s hard for Ingres to say whether this matter is good or bad...but it’s probably bad.

He was not sure about the attitude of miracles.

However, as long as we know the purpose of the starworms, perhaps we can figure it out?

Ingres was in a very confused mood. He could only force himself to remain calm and wait for things to change.

Laplace could understand Angel's feelings. She was also very surprised by the sudden appearance of the conductor.

At this point, there is no point in comforting Ingres anymore.

What we should do now is to figure out the cause of this incident, determine the target of the Starworm, and finally see if we can infer the attitude of the Star Train.

Laplace believed that Ingres would consider these issues.

So, what she is more concerned about now is how to deal with it if things get bad?

Previously, Ingres said "turn over the cards on the table". Can this be used here to set things right?

In addition, Laplace was also concerned about something that Starworm had just mentioned: "What powerful creature could prevent the Star Train from approaching the Dream Crystal Origin?"

Judging from the Star Spirit’s statement, this powerful creature is most likely on the side of the Dream Crystal Origin.

Could it be Ingres’ trump card?

"Trump card?" Faced with Laplace's question, Angel was stunned for a moment, and shook his head without hesitation: "No, I don't know what the powerful creature that Starworm is talking about is."

Angel had observed the void outside the Dream Crystal Origin many times and did not find any living creatures.

Therefore, he had no impression of this so-called powerful creature.

But he also had some guesses.

If this powerful creature really stood on the side of Dream Crystal Origin and blocked the Star Sea Train from coming, then it would most likely be the work of... that person.

A figure flashed through Angel's mind.

If it is really his work, maybe it can be considered a trump card?
