Since the last encounter with the giant True Sting insect, the train had been undergoing maintenance at Washtopia, and today, Pom-Pom had announced so good news to everyone.
Under the influence of Pei Guang, the rotating train had successfully defeated the giant True Sting insect. However, the ti spent inside the insect's body had caused significant damage to the train.
These past few days, Hiko and Welt had been repairing the train, and now, both the internal and external cleaning had been completed.
The train was in its most perfect condition.
Next, they were heading to Penacony to attend a celebration, and before the train departed, Pom-Pom delivered the good news to everyone.
"Dear unnad guests, this train will depart for Penacony one day from now. Please make sure to arrange your ti properly and be in your best condition to greet the new pioneering mission!"
Although the train was no longer in critical condition, considering the previous chaos, they decided not to jump straight into warp travel. Instead, they would run a test for one day to ensure that all the equipnt was functioning properly before warping to Penacony.
Upon hearing Pom-Pom's announcent, Pei Guang, sitting on the sofa in the train hall and looking out at the scenery, turned to Stelle, who was playing on her phone.
"Did you hear that? We're heading to the next stop, Penacony~ That na sounds exciting."
Stelle: "Oh? How so?"
Pei Guang recalled, "It sounds like the na of a dicine. You have penicillin, aspirin... then look at Penacony, it's a perfect dicine na!"
Stelle: "I don't know? March, do you know?"
March 7th, who had been sipping juice and listening to the entire conversation, shook her head.
"I don't know either, but when we get to Penacony, we can ask soone familiar with the place. However, I did hear that this ti, the famous giant-sized Lady Robin will be performing there. A superstar!"
Pei Guang sarcastically remarked, "Well said. I just hope she doesn't have too many accidents and ends up not being able to perform."
March 7th: "Oh no, now I feel like the superstar is dood. Sure, many people in the universe think that way, but your prediction, Ah Guang…"
To March 7th, Pei Guang's remarks weren't just experience-based guesses: they were prophecies!
Who can make predictions with such accuracy?
March 7th had clearly forgotten about many of Pei Guang's previous inaccurate guesses.
Stelle nodded: "Exactly! But this is a good thing, after all. She's just a cricket-sized superstar. My assessnt is that she's not even as important as a single hair of Ah Guang."
March 7th covered her mouth and laughed. "Although I think the sa, if her fans find out, I think Ah Guang's in trouble."
Pei Guang: "No big deal! If she gets into trouble, it's just one possible outco. Either way, once we get to that place, you can be sure nothing good will happen."
March 7th put her hands on her hips: "Can't you say sothing positive?"
Pei Guang spread his hands: "I'd like to, but if I say sothing nice and the plot doesn't conflict, it wouldn't make for an interesting story."
As they discussed the new destination, Penacony, everyone eagerly talked about it. Since they'd reach the planet in one day, they would finally find out what it was like.
Pei Guang thought the next day would pass quietly on the train as they waited, but just as he was thinking that, his phone rang.
It was a ssage in the Ghost Hunting Squad's group chat on the Xianzhou.
In this chat, Huohuo had sent a screenshot, and in the screenshot, soone had posted a ssage on a website looking for information on Heliobi.
"An unnad departnt. My departnt is always busy, but for so reason, one of my colleagues, who used to be lazy, suddenly changed. They now arrive early and leave late every day, and are encouraging others around them to join in so big venture..."
The ssage was posted by a netizen nad "Ruthless Fortune-telling Machine," who had a picture of a "Third Eye."
Pei Guang recognized it imdiately: it was Fu Xuan.
Stelle, who had also seen the ssage in the group, looked up at Pei Guang and asked, "Looks like before we get to Penacony, we have sothing to do to kill ti?"
Pei Guang: "It looks that way. If you told soone suddenly beca more ambitious, I'd believe it, but Qingque…"
Pei Guang had a very good opinion of Qingque. Although she appeared to be slacking off at work, she was the type of person who would get her tasks done before indulging in downti.
Soone like her could definitely beco more ambitious, but Pei Guang was sure that Qingque couldn't possibly be turning into a workaholic now.
After all, just a few days ago, he had helped Qingque with the Heliobus issue.
Recently, Luofu hadn't experienced any major events, and the Divination Commission was operating normally.
In this situation, Qingque suddenly started arriving early and leaving late?
There could only be one possibility: possession.
No, Luofu doesn't have ghosts—a Heliobus had possessed her!
Pei Guang replied in the group chat: "Let's go check it out! Looks like Heliobi are causing trouble. We'll et at the Divination Commission?"
Huohuo: "Got it~"
Seeing the ssage, Stelle leaned over. "Hehe~ We're going to catch a Heliobus again. Let's go, let's go! Waiting around is boring, so let's let this Heliobus kill so of our ti."
Stelle had already beco excited about the upcoming trip to Penacony.
Simply waiting made her feel anxious. Now that they had sothing to do, she didn't feel so impatient.
After so discussion, they decided to head to the Divination Commission to check on Qingque's situation.
March 7th didn't join them; after all, there was a celebration! She had prepared a much more beautiful outfit for this occasion, determined to give Pei Guang and everyone a surprise.
At the Divination Commission in Luofu, when Pei Guang and Stelle arrived, they found Qingque was busy reminding other departnt employees.
Fu Xuan: "Don't approach her rashly..."
The exhausted fortune-teller: "I believe she didn't do her job, but now with the way she looks, I'm afraid…"
Everyone had already gotten used to Qingque slacking off.
Occasionally, she would suddenly burst out with energy, but when that happened, everyone knew it was because she was preparing to slack off even better.
However, for the past couple of days, Qingque's behavior had been very strange.
She wasn't occasionally bursting out; she was constantly on the move, as if she had beco a workaholic. In this state, even Fu Xuan wouldn't dare approach her, let alone the others.
As Fu Xuan was reminding the diviners, Pei Guang called out to her.
"Fu Xuan~ We're here!"
