Chapter 509

"Ms. Ruan Mei, nice to meet you again." Ji Zi smiled, her eyes full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

"Thank you for your help." Ruan Mei responded.

On the Starry Sky Train, Ji Zi carefully ground a cup of coffee for Ruan Mei.

The rich coffee aroma instantly filled the carriage, mellow and tempting.

"Hiss...Ruan Mei, you can't drink this..." Lin Yu leaned forward slightly beside Ruan Mei, got close to her ear, lowered his voice, and whispered nervously, his eyes fixed on the cup of coffee, his eyes full of fear and fear, as if the cup of coffee was a cup of deadly poison.

Lin Yu recalled that when he first got on the train, he drank the coffee that Ji Zi made.

The extremely strong bitter taste instantly exploded in his mouth, sweeping over his taste buds like a surging tide, and then the strange aftereffect was like an invisible rope, tightly strangling his throat, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

That feeling was something he would never forget for the rest of his life. Every detail was deeply engraved in his memory and now reappeared like a nightmare.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but tremble all over.

His hands were slightly clenched into fists, and the veins on his arms were slightly bulging, as if he was trying hard to restrain the fear and resistance in his heart.

He kept saying to himself that this coffee was too powerful. If Ruan Mei drank it, she would definitely be tortured.

Ruan Mei looked at Lin Yu's reaction with a puzzled look, and then looked at the steaming, fragrant cup of coffee in front of her, thinking to herself, "This coffee doesn't look unusual, why is Lin Yu so panicked? Is there something hidden in it?" But she remained calm on the surface, and just asked softly, "Lin Yu, why are you stopping me like this? Is there something wrong with this coffee?"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Yu's forehead. He swallowed hard and stammered, "Ruan Mei, the taste of this coffee... um... is a little special. I'm afraid you can't stand it." He avoided her eyes and didn't dare to look directly into Ji Zi's eyes.

Ji Zi saw Lin Yu's performance and laughed softly, "Lin Yu, are you a little too nervous? Ms. Ruan Mei might like it."

Lin Yu shook his head anxiously, "Ji Zi, you don't understand, this coffee is really not something that ordinary people can bear. Ask Uncle Yang if he has the same idea as me."

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Ji Zi turned around and looked at Walter, "Walter, is that so?"

"Ahem...Ji Zi's coffee is always good, there's nothing wrong with it." Walter smiled, and there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in that smile. His eyes quickly moved between Lin Yu and Ji Zi, as if he was trying to maintain some kind of delicate balance, neither wanting to deny Ji Zi's coffee nor making Lin Yu too embarrassed.

Seeing Lin Yu so flustered, Ruan Mei became more curious. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Lin Yu, the more you are like this, the more I want to try what is so special about this coffee."

Then, Ruan Mei picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

Instantly, Ruan Mei's expression froze, her eyes slightly widened, her brows slightly wrinkled, the bitterness of the coffee swept over like a surging wave, her throat moved slightly, as if trying to suppress the urge to spit it out, after a long while, she slowly put down the cup, took a long breath and said, "This coffee... is really special, Lin Yu, I understand why you are so nervous."

Jizi smiled and said, "It seems that my coffee does have a strong taste. I will try to adjust it in the future."

At this time, Walter broke the slightly awkward atmosphere, "Okay, let's put the coffee aside for now. Ms. Ruan Mei, you mentioned before that you would take Lin Yu and March 7 to a no-man's land. Can you tell us in detail about the situation there?"

Ruan Mei nodded, sorted out her thoughts and said, "It was a world without life. There, you could see the stars at the end of the horizon. Huge blue-green stars were moving along star tracks. Under the brilliant light, there was only a vast expanse of white sky and earth. My mother and I sailed on the peaceful glacier, looking for traces of life in the world and encountered all kinds of strange phenomena."

She paused for a moment, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and continued, "But until the end, we never found any trace of life. But strangely, every time I see the same scenery again, I always have an irresistible urge deep in my heart that makes me stop and stay for a long time."

Ruan Mei sighed softly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, "If we really go there, it may no longer be a 'no man's land' in the original sense for us. This is really a puzzling and tempting problem."

Ruan Mei's eyes were filled with confusion. "Every time I go there, I feel like I'm touching a fog. It seems close at hand, but it's actually elusive. Those strange phenomena are amazing, but I always feel that there is something deeper behind them, but I just can't put it into words. Perhaps this is the charm of no man's land. It constantly lures people to explore, but it is stingy and unwilling to easily reveal the truth."

San Yue Qi asked curiously, "After we go there, will we be like you and your mother, wandering in the vast whiteness and gaining nothing?"

"It's hard to say, but I believe that every exploration will leave new traces. Just like I mentioned before, the glacier in your memory is most likely the uninhabited land I mentioned. It may be the key to solving the mystery of your life. Although we didn't find anything substantial before, maybe your arrival will bring a different opportunity."

Walter held his chin up and said thoughtfully, "From the stars and glaciers you described, the environment there is extremely special. There may be some special energy or matter. Ms. Ruan Mei, have you conducted a detailed detection or analysis of the energy fluctuations there?"

"I have tried, but the energy field there is very complex and unstable. I can only detect some surface fluctuations. The deeper level is difficult to reach."

San Yue Qi clenched his fists, his eyes determined, "No matter what, I'm willing to try."

"Little Sanyue, do you really not need our company?" Jizi asked worriedly. Except for Lin Yu and Liuying, Xing and Sanyueqi are all 'newbies' who have just set foot in the vast universe. They are like fledglings, about to fly into the vast sky full of dangers and unknowns. Although every passenger has the right to make their own choices, Jizi will respect any decision they make, but when the moment of parting really comes, it is inevitable that ripples of worry will arise in her heart.

Walter said, "Jizi, they also need the opportunity to grow and gain experience on their own. Although it is full of dangers, this may become a key step in their transformation in this universe. We can also keep an eye on their situation on the Star Dome Train and provide support when necessary."

After hearing what they said, Ji Zi's expression eased a little. She sighed softly, "I understand, but the dangers in this universe are far beyond imagination. I am really worried. But since you have made up your mind, I can only silently wish you the best."

"Oh~ Sister Ji Zi, you don't have to worry, Lin Yu is here~"

"Besides, we can't leave Pam and Clara home alone, can we?"

"And didn't Lin Yu say that the Black Swan would help us open the passage to the Eternal Land, Omphalos, so that the train can replenish its development energy? This is a major event related to whether the train can continue to sail smoothly. We can't all leave at this time."

"A world entangled and bound by three destinies... I personally think it could be memory, knowledge, mystery, joy, or even nothingness. Among these five destinies, probably three will appear." Ruan Mei explained.

"But when I was teleported there, there was only a silent space. It was pitch black all around, and there were memories scattered everywhere. It was very dangerous. If you accidentally fell into it, there was a high probability that you would not be able to get out. If you could get out, you could change history." Lin Yu explained.

"But Lin Yu, you didn't go to that world through formal channels, right?" San Yueqi asked with his head tilted, his eyes full of confusion.

"According to Black Swan, that world is very special, with special properties that can only be observed through the Mirror of Memory." March Seven said.

San Yueqi continued, "This means that ordinary means may not be able to reach there at all, let alone explore it safely. Lin Yu, how did you get teleported there?"

"It was just that the powerful memory energy of Black Swan and Sisi collided, causing space distortion, and then they were teleported away." Lin Yu explained.

"But...are you really March Seven? You speak so fluently and you seem to be getting smarter." Lin Yu looked at March Seven.

When March Seven heard this, she put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Lin Yu, what are you talking about! Of course I am March Seven, how could I be anyone else? Can't I occasionally have a flash of inspiration and act smart for once?" Her cheeks flushed slightly, like ripe apples. She was obviously irritated by Lin Yu's words. She looked like a provoked kitten, ready to fight back at any time.

"Haha, okay, okay, I was just joking. Look how anxious you are. But seriously, after going through so much recently, you have indeed grown a lot. You are no longer that ignorant girl."

San Yueqi snorted, "Of course, I've been through a lot of ups and downs with you, it's impossible for me to not make any progress. Besides, I also want to solve the mystery of my life experience as soon as possible, how can I not become smarter?" She raised her chin slightly, her eyes showing a stubbornness, and her unyielding spirit was fully revealed.
