Therefore, Jiang Lin didn't hesitate for a moment and chose to flee.
Soon after, Pam rushed to the scene of the incident, and seeing everything before it, visibly turned red with anger.
"Who did this?! Who did this!!!"
Its voice was filled with fury; even Himeko, who was still diligently slicing peaches in the observation car, was startled.
One must know that even that explosion hadn't disturbed her peach slicing... After calming down, Pam, using its already small brain, thought carefully... "Could it be... that terrible guy is back, Pam?"
And thinking of this possibility, Pam didn't hesitate and immediately posted a notification in the group chat:
"Pam: Aha has been sighted on the Astral Express recently. Everyone, try not to return and avoid it outside..."
"Himeko: ?!"
"Welt: The Aeon of Elation?"
"March 7th: Really? Pam, you didn't mistake it, did you?"
"Dan Heng: Received. I'll keep an eye on March 7th and Stelle."
"Stelle: @Dan Heng, you don't trust me. This is prejudice. Am I the kind of person who would actively seek out Aha?"
"Dan Heng: Hard to say."
"Stelle: ..."
"March 7th: Oh, we definitely wouldn't, we're not stupid."
"Dan Heng: You too, hard to say."
"March 7th: ..."
"Himeko: We understand, Pam. But, are you really okay over there?"
"Pam: Don't worry, Pam. On the Astral Express, even Aha has to give the Conductor face."
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin, who had just escaped to the Penacony Hotel, glanced at the messages in the group chat and completely ignored them.
At this moment, the mask Jiang Lin had "picked up" involuntarily showed a wronged expression.
But this time, Jiang Lin noticed it, because just now he had inexplicably felt a surge of sorrow, actually feeling guilty towards Aha?!
Jiang Lin immediately realized something was wrong, and after a check, he found the mask.
It was too blatant; Aha had no intention of hiding.
But after Jiang Lin discovered it, it again nonchalantly pretended to be an ordinary mask.
This left Jiang Lin at a loss for words.
After a moment of thought, Jiang Lin decided to go to the dreamscape first to arrange his future plans.
And on the Astral Express,
Himeko looked at the now messy Astral Express, then glanced at the troubled Pam... After some thought, she also disembarked without a word.

The Opaline
Jiang Lin easily found Stelle, who was causing abstract chaos everywhere.
Stelle was stunned, then pointed to the side and said,
"Look, a strong origami bird."
Jiang Lin glanced at it twice, then paid it no further attention.
"Stop messing around, I have something serious."
Saying this, Jiang Lin took out a black briefcase.
"Take this."
Stelle seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards.
"Could it be that you've been gone for so long preparing a gift for me?"
Jiang Lin calmly debunked her:
"Don't dream in a dream."
"Then what is this?"
Stelle immediately lost interest and asked listlessly.
"Inside are three basic Fireseeds. Next time you go to Herta Space Station, take them to Herta."
Stelle raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing:
"So, it's a gift for Herta ~"
"It's just the final payment for our transaction."
Jiang Lin didn't want to explain too much. After stuffing the briefcase into Stelle's hand, he planned to go do something else.
But Stelle stopped him at this moment.
"Alright, I agree, but... give me one too."
Jiang Lin glanced at the eager and curious Stelle, a smirk playing on his lips.
"No ~"
"Just for the travel expenses, okay?"
"If you want it, I can pay you separately."
"Just one, please. I can imitate Herta's tone and say: 'Pleaseeeeee~'"
Jiang Lin was stunned, then pulled out his phone.
"This part has already been recorded and sent to Herta."
Stelle also froze, then, without hesitation, lunged at Jiang Lin's... phone with zero frames of wind-up.
But Jiang Lin easily dodged and then disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, Stelle's phone vibrated.
After she got up from the ground and took out her phone, she found it was a message from Herta.
"Herta: In the Simulated Universe, don't expect to encounter another Ruan Mei incident."

On the other side, Jiang Lin appeared inside The Opaline.
Here, Jiang Lin immediately spotted a very lazy yet conspicuous figure sitting in the lounge area—Jing Yuan?
Why hadn't he left yet?
With this question, Jiang Lin approached Jing Yuan.
And Jing Yuan naturally noticed Jiang Lin approaching.
"Long time no see, Mr. Jiang Lin."
Jing Yuan greeted Jiang Lin with a warm smile and a relaxed expression.
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then sat opposite Jing Yuan.
"You haven't left yet?"
Jing Yuan smiled slightly and answered patiently.
"Leave? Oh... the Cloud Knights did leave under the leadership of Fu Qing, as for me... it's not easy to come out, so I naturally have to rest well."
"Does Fu Xuan know? Would she agree?"
"Fu Qing, she wishes I'd stay here longer."
"Aren't you afraid that when you go back, there will be no place for you in the Divine Might Division?"
"Minor matter, minor matter ~"
Jing Yuan waved his hand, then casually picked up a glass of SoulGlad and took a sip.
"Hmm, the specialty of the dreamscape indeed has a unique flavor..."
At this moment, Jiang Lin's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a beautiful figure—Robin... Then, he looked at the relaxed Jing Yuan opposite him and asked:
"The Symphony of Harmony should be held soon. Are you going to attend?"
Jing Yuan's tone was light and relaxed:
"Of course, why not? I also want to see Miss Robin, famous throughout the universe, showcase her singing."
And at this moment, Jing Yuan seemed to suddenly remember something and became a little more serious.
"By the way, a physician under Feixiao asked me to inquire about a question for you."
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Is it that pink-haired fox named Jiaoqiu?"
Jing Yuan couldn't help but smile at this address.
"Heh, indeed, that is the one, a well-known medical practitioner."
"What does he want to ask?"
Jing Yuan thought for a moment, his tone a bit heavy.
"That physician was quite surprised when he first saw the revival pill.
But as he delved deeper into his research, he found that this pill offered some relief for General Feixiao's condition.
Therefore, he wishes to invite you to come out again and try to research a pill that can cure Feixiao."
Jiang Lin nodded, thought for a moment, then asked again,
"Moon Madness? Is that right?"
