At this moment, Botio, who had been leisurely sipping malt juice at the bar, put down his bottle and stood up upon learning of Huang Quan's address.
"By the baby, I want to see what this impostor wants to do," Botio muttered to himself.
He casually tossed a sum of credits to the bartender and walked out of the bar.
The world outside was pitch black, with only scattered lights twinkling. Botio looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and walked towards The Train.

Xianzhou Luofu, Shence Mansion.
Jing Yuan was lazily leaning against his desk, looking dispirited.
"General! Why are you slacking off here again?" From behind a nearby seat, Fu Xuan stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Jing Yuan with a displeased expression, her tone carrying a hint of reproach. "Regarding the scenes we just saw during the viewing, do you not have any feelings or thoughts at all?"
Facing Fu Xuan's questioning, Jing Yuan merely smiled slightly, then stretched with a big yawn, appearing very languid. He slowly replied, "Fu Qing, you are a bit too impatient. The amount of information displayed by this light screen is truly limited; how can I form any profound insights?"
Looking at Jing Yuan's leisurely and nonchalant expression, a nameless anger welled up in Fu Xuan's heart, but she couldn't openly express it.
She secretly speculated that this General might be plotting some bad idea, but just hadn't told her.
"General, you are the backbone; we are all waiting for your decision!" Fu Xuan suppressed the anger in her heart, trying her best to keep her voice calm.
Jing Yuan straightened up, looked at Fu Xuan, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: "I naturally have my plans, but... it will take some time."
Fu Xuan was about to press further, but Jing Yuan waved his hand: "No need to rush; the time is not yet right. The most important thing now is to be prepared to deal with any situation that may arise."
After speaking, Jing Yuan stood up, walked to the window, and gazed into the distance. Fu Xuan also followed, and they were silent for a moment.
"Alright, General, I trust your judgment. But I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible, as time is pressing," Fu Xuan finally conceded.
Jing Yuan nodded slightly, a subtle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I have it under control."
.....
On the planet Jarilo-VI, in a quiet corner of Belobog's Lower District.
The Trailblaze Crew was leading Bronya and Seele to find Clara, hoping to enlist her help to meet Svarog.
After the viewing resumed, the five people discussed for a moment and quickly reached a consensus—they found a safe place to hide and then prioritized their attention on the viewing.
Seele and Bronya sat quietly to the side, watching intently, yearning for the world outside.
"Is this your future adventure? It's really interesting," Seele couldn't help but exclaim.
March 7th smiled and replied, "If you're willing, The Train will definitely welcome you!"
However, Seele fell into deep thought. After a moment, she gently shook her head and said firmly, "No... the Wildfire and the people of the Lower District still need my help. And, that Bronya... she can't handle it alone."
Seele deeply understood the heavy responsibility on her shoulders; she couldn't easily leave those who needed her protection. Although she yearned for future adventures, she was more willing to stay here, using her strength to change the current situation and protect everyone around her.
"That's really a pity," Stelle shrugged, then continued to discuss the information from the viewing: "Actually, what I'm more worried about is what happened next."
"Although Ms. Huang Quan is a friend and not an enemy, with such terrifying power, we might accidentally get caught in the crossfire if we're nearby."
"Yes, yes, we were really scared just now! The whole world suddenly turned black and white, with only that dazzling red light remaining... That kind of terrifying power is simply horrifying!" March 7th nodded repeatedly, still feeling lingering fear.
Her eyes sparkled with envy as she murmured, "But, how wonderful it would be if I could also possess such powerful and mysterious strength!" as if dreaming of a distant, unattainable dream.
Stelle silently gazed into March 7th's eyes and gently shook her head, seemingly disagreeing with her thoughts.
Seeing this, March 7th immediately became a little displeased, put her hands on her hips, and pouted, questioning, "Hey, what does that mean? Do you think I can't do it?"
However, Dan Heng interjected at this moment, "Alright, let's discuss this matter later. Let's focus on the present first, after all, we've already delayed too much time, and we must find Clara quickly." His tone was slightly urgent.
March 7th, although still a little dissatisfied, nodded in agreement.
The group continued on and finally found Clara trying to repair a device.
"It's you! Clara also saw the images of the big brothers and sisters just now," Clara greeted them, cheering up.
"What are you doing?" Stelle asked curiously.
"I'm repairing this device. This device is broken, and... it's a bit complex. Clara has never seen this type of thing before."
"Why don't you tell Svarog and let him help you?" March 7th asked, puzzled.
"I don't want to alarm Mr. Svarog, because the device was... accidentally broken by two wandering uncles. If Mr. Svarog finds out, he'll definitely be very angry..." Clara's voice got lower and lower, seemingly a little scared.
"Was it really an accident?" Stelle blinked, looking at Clara, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. "Clara, being too kind can be taken advantage of by bad people, you know." Seele gently shook her head, her tone carrying some reproach.
Clara lowered her head and stammered, "Yes... but... they really looked pitiful, and it wasn't intentional..."
Seele sighed, patted Clara's shoulder, and comforted her, "I know you're kind-hearted, but sometimes we also need to learn to protect ourselves and not trust others too easily."
Just then, Dan Heng, who had been observing the device from the side, suddenly spoke: "I might have found the problem. Although the pipe was replaced, its bearing is misaligned and blocked."
Hearing Dan Heng's words, everyone gathered around. Dan Heng pointed to the internal structure of the device and explained it in detail.
