Chapter 806
Chapter 806
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yu woke up in a biting cold.
He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in a completely dark space. There was no light around him, and he couldn't even feel the flow of air. It was as if he was on the edge of nothingness in the universe.
"Silver Wolf? Silver Wolf, where are you?" He called out anxiously, his voice spreading in the darkness, but he received no response.
Just as a trace of panic rose in his heart, a slightly cold hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"I'm here." Silver Wolf's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously frightened by this strange environment.
"What is this place? How did we get here?"
Lin Yu calmed himself down, held Silver Wolf's hand tightly, and tried to draw a little strength from her.
"Don't panic. We must have been teleported here by the Star Orbit Hub. Since it brought us here, there must be a reason."
Although he said this, his heart was filled with uneasiness. The darkness was too pure, so pure that he could not sense any existence.
He took a deep breath and tried to take a step forward.
Just as his feet touched the ground, a circular beam of light suddenly descended from above without warning, landing precisely not far in front of him and illuminating a small area with a diameter of about three meters.
In the beam of light, stood a familiar figure.
She was wearing a simple cotton dress, her long black hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, she was carrying a bamboo basket full of bright red starberries, and there was a gentle smile on her face. She was none other than Sister Xingmei who disappeared in the ruins of Liuguang Island Town!
"Sister Xingmei?" Lin Yu exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
She had clearly vanished, so how could she be here? And judging by her appearance, she looked as if she were still alive, still scented with the morning dew, as if she would smile and say to them in the next moment, "Would you like some fresh starberry pie?"
Lin Yu's heart was filled with shock and chaos.
How could she be here? What was her identity? Countless questions swirled in his mind, making him feel more and more that Sister Xingmei was hiding a huge secret.
Silver Wolf held Lin Yu's arm tightly and lowered his voice.
"Is this... an illusion? Or is Sister Xingmei's soul trapped in the Star Track Nexus?"
Lin Yu did not answer, but just stared at Sister Xingmei in the beam of light.
He could feel that this figure was not illusory, but contained some real energy fluctuations, which had a subtle connection with the energy of the star track hub.
He took a deep breath, pulled the silver wolf, and carefully took the second step forward.
Another circular beam of light descended, illuminating the area nearby.
This time, Sister Xingmei stood beside a desolate piece of star track wreckage. The smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a heavy seriousness.
Opposite her stood a man in a black cloak. The hood of the cloak was pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly. Only a pale chin could be seen.
"The fragments of the Hub have been successfully placed beneath Liuguang Island," Sister Xingmei said with a hint of fatigue. "The star track energy here is very stable. As long as it's not forcibly activated, it should be able to hide from everyone."
The cloaked figure nodded slightly. "Those people from Tianxing City have already begun searching the surrounding star fields for the lost hub planet. They have a replica of the 'Fate Devourer', which is extremely sensitive to star track energy."
"You must maintain your identity in this small town and not let them notice anything unusual."
"I know."
"From the day I became a guardian, I was ready."
"It's just that... seeing the carefree townspeople sometimes makes me feel guilty. They don't realize that the place they live in is actually a reservoir of energy that could explode at any moment."
The cloaked man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This is the fate of the guardian. When the storm passes, everything will be fine." After that, his figure gradually faded and disappeared into the darkness.
Sister Xingmei stood alone beside the wreckage of the star track, looking at the distant starry sky, without moving for a long time.
The beam of light quietly went out at this moment, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
Lin Yu and Yinlang stood there, their hearts filled with shock.
Guardian? Sure enough.
It turns out that Sister Xingmei is the guardian of the Star Track Hub, and the town of Liuguang Island was built from the very beginning to cover up the existence of the Star Track Hub!
"She actually carries such a heavy responsibility, but in this small town, she looks so ordinary and gentle..."
Lin Yu didn't say anything, but just pulled Silver Wolf and took the third step forward.
The third beam of light came on, illuminating a huge meeting hall.
Sister Xingmei was standing in front of a huge star map, talking to an old man in a silver-white robe.
The old man's hair and beard were all white, his face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were bright and sharp.
"According to the latest star trajectory predictions, Tianxing City's influence is rapidly expanding. Their 'Purification Plan' is actually aimed at finding a vessel capable of carrying the energy of the Fate Devourer."
The old man pointed to a red dot on the star map. "The Star Track Hub is their ideal target. Once they control it, the consequences will be disastrous."
Sister Xingmei's face paled. "I've already strengthened the hub's disguise. Even if they find Liuguang Island, they'll just think it's just an ordinary energy node."
"It's just... I'm worried about the mayor. He's been getting very close to people from Tianxing City lately and seems to be very interested in Star Track energy."
"Please keep a close eye on the mayor," the old man mused. "His family has lived on Liuguang Island for generations. If he dares to betray us, we must stop him at all costs."
"Remember, the secrets of the Star Track Hub must never fall into the wrong hands."
Sister Xingmei nodded, "I understand, but... every time I see those transformed Pokémon, I feel very sad."
"They should be living freely in nature, but they are being used as experimental subjects..."
"This is the cruelty of reality." The old man sighed. "All we can do is find the lost hub planet as soon as possible. Only the original power there can completely destroy the replica of the Fate Devourer and end this disaster."
The beam of light went out again, and in the darkness, Lin Yu felt extremely heavy.
He finally understood why Sister Xingmei was so kind to the residents of the town and why she protected those Pokémon, because she was not only the guardian of the Star Track Hub, but also the guardian of this land and life.
They continued forward, and on the fourth step, the beam of light illuminated a dense forest.
Sister Xingmei was sitting under a huge ancient tree, talking to a snow-white fox.
The fox had nine tails and wisdom gleamed in its eyes.
The nine-tailed fox rubbed its head against the palm of her hand and made a soft sound.
"Have you forgotten? Guarding doesn't mean taking on everything alone."
"Although the residents of this small town don't know the truth, their trust and love for you is also a kind of strength. As long as you have faith in your heart, you will definitely be able to do it."
Lin Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Pokémon could talk?
Moreover, this nine-tailed fox...Lin Yu did not see it in the town.
Sister Xingmei smiled, and the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated. "You are right. I cannot retreat. For them, and for all the lives persecuted by Tianxing City, I must persevere."
