Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3643 Starworm

The conductor knocked on the door.

There was no sound, but the ripples caused by the air vibration had already been transmitted to the cab.

About three seconds later.

The door opened slowly, and the whole process was still silent.

When the door was completely opened, a colorful and distorted light and shadow appeared in front.

The conductor was not surprised by this and just took a step forward into the light and shadow.

The black boots were surrounded by light and shadow. Soon, the light and shadow seemed to have life, slowly climbing up from the feet until it completely covered the conductor...

At the same time, a beeping sound rang in the conductor's ear.

"Identity check passed."

"Time and space correction in progress—"

"Space-time correction successful."

"Welcome, three-star conductor, Mr. Starworm."

As the sound faded, the light and shadow also dissipated.

At this moment, the train conductor "Starworm" has come to the real cab. However, the interior of this cab is not quite the same as what ordinary people imagine.

There is a transparent glass dome above the head, with a shimmering starry sky projected on the glass.

Through the dome, you can see the void outside with scenes constantly changing.

This corresponds exactly to the scene outside the Xinghai Train.

Under the dome was a circular hall with a black marble floor. The marble was very smooth, and under the projection of the starry sky, it reflected a thin layer of light.

The hall was empty, without any walls or objects, not even any facilities for driving.

There is only a stone statue in the middle of the hall.

This statue looks like a fire demon, but there is no flame on it, only pieces of falling burnt embers.

As the starworm approached, the embers on the statue began to flake off bit by bit like dust.

When the starworm walked to the statue, all the broken stones on its body fell off, revealing its "true appearance" inside.

——An owl about one meter tall.

This owl is wearing a red conductor's uniform, has a long gray beard, and has no whites in its eyes, only black. If you look closely, you can see a sea of ​​​​bright stars from its dark pupils.

Starworm stared at the owl in silence.

It was the first time he had seen this owl.

Judging from its red uniform, this owl is undoubtedly a train conductor. I just wonder what rank the train conductor who is taking over this shift ranks among the Star Lords?

The rank is very important, representing the importance the Star Master places on it. The higher the rank, the more favored it is by the Star Master, and the more comprehensive its abilities are.

However, for a train conductor like Starworm, rank is not that important. What matters most is its character.

As long as his character isn't as bad as the previous demon, it'll be fine.

After all, for the rest of the journey, if nothing unexpected happens, Starworm will work with the train conductor in front of him.

Starworm prayed silently in his heart and half-knelt before the owl.

"No gifts."

The owl seemed to have just woken up, stretched, and then slowly spoke.

Its voice was not as old as its appearance, but rather youthful, but its tone was rather lazy, as if it had not yet woken up.

Starworm stood up, still with his head bowed.

"You are the only three-star conductor of the 199th train, Starworm."

Starworm nodded: "Yes, your Excellency the conductor."

The owl did not speak immediately, but looked down at the broken statue on the ground: "It turns out that my previous conductor was No. 141. That guy was very bad. It was not easy for you to survive under his command and be promoted to three stars..."

The star bug didn't dare to answer. The owl in front of him was also a star master, and he could arrange No. 141 at will. But he was just a conductor, so he didn't dare to say anything bad about any star master, even if the other party was his former boss.

"Nice to meet you. My rank is 005. As you can see, I am just a weak owl in old age." When he said this, the owl conductor coughed a few times to show his weakness.

However, Starworm was not at all deceived by the other party's "weak" attitude.

He even became more nervous.

If he had skin, he would probably have goosebumps at this moment.

005!

These are the top five ranks of the Star Lord!

The higher the rank, the more terrifying it is. The Starworm has been on the 199th train of the Star Ocean Train for a thousand years, and the highest rank it has ever come into contact with is No. 141.

Thinking of No. 141's methods, Starworm felt incredible.

The top five are probably even more terrifying.

Although Starworm had not seen the abilities of the first five sequences, he did not dare to underestimate them. What weak old owl? This was a lie.

Although Starworm didn't say anything and didn't make any small movements, how could the Owl Train Conductor not know what he was thinking.

It just smiled and said: "I'm not lying. Don't look at my high rank, it's just because I'm popular..."

The starworm naturally didn't believe it, and just said in a very stereotyped way: "Dear conductor, you have come here in person this time. I wonder which star track you will take next?"

Owl: "Are you getting into a routine so quickly? You just got here, shouldn't you ask me if I want to take a break?"

Starworm did not respond, but continued on his own: "The Star Sea Train cannot stop for a moment... Now, we are about to arrive at the station, and we need the conductor to plan a new itinerary."

The owl waved its wings and said, "Okay, okay. When we get to the station, I will personally draw up a new star track."

"New star track?" Starworm was stunned: "A star track that is not in the 199th column?"

"Yes, the new star track will lead to the dream world." The owl nodded: "This is the section that the star master negotiated with great difficulty... In the past, star tracks have never been laid into the dream world. This is the first time."

"Dream world?" Starworm: "Are there any living beings there who want to get on board?"

"I don't know." Owl shook his head: "But the Star Lord said that there are some interesting things happening outside the dream world. I will know when I go there..."

"Maybe I'll run into some old friends."

The Star Lord sent me here, wasn’t it because of his “connections”?

The owl walked to the edge of the dome with a smile, looking at the void outside, with a gleam in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Owl turned to look at Starworm: "We'll talk about the new star track issue later. Let's deal with the problems left over from the previous term first."

"Tell me, what kind of mess did No. 141 leave behind?"

As the only three-star conductor on Train 199, Starworm was fully aware of everything that happened on the train. When Owl asked him questions, he immediately started talking.

After a while, Starworm finished telling the whole story.

The owl yawned and said softly, "Although there are a lot of messes, they are all minor matters. The only problem with Cat Doss has not been dealt with properly."

Starworm: "Cat Doss? Is he the guest exiled by the former conductor?"

The starworm was a little confused. It was normal for the Star Train to exile him.

If you violate the taboos on the train, you may be exiled.

The so-called taboos refer to the rules set by the conductor...

The conductor of train No. 141 needs to burn a living heart every once in a while as a snack. The heart provider is the guest on the train.

It will randomly select a guest, and if the guest refuses, they may be exiled.

Not long ago, the former train conductor chose Dos the Cat to provide a heart, but what he wanted was not Dos the Cat's own heart, but the heart of the kitten in his arms.

In the eyes of Starworm, this is already a preferential treatment.

But Mao Dos refused without hesitation, because the other party got on the train with a ticket, so the former conductor could not kill him directly.

Then he was exiled.

Just when the Star Sea Train was crossing time and space, he was exiled... His fate was basically certain, and his only path was death.

After all, not everyone can resist the tide of time and space.

Starworm had no complaints about the former train conductor's handling of the situation, because Cat Doss had indeed violated a taboo.

In his opinion, this matter was not a big problem. Why did Owl say that this was a matter that was not handled properly?

"why?"

Why? The owl chuckled and looked at the starworm: "The reason is very simple. Maodos is not only an obsessive person in the Tewari world, but also has been marked by the time thief. There are two miracles behind him."

"To be favored by two miraculous beings, especially one of whom is a time thief, his inner qualities must be extraordinary."

"Exile is not a good option. Because with the opponent's inner strength, he will most likely not die if exiled."

"The best way to deal with it is to find a way to make him violate the taboo further, until the protection brought by the ticket disappears, and he, his soul and consciousness are completely annihilated. This is the correct way to deal with it."

This is what is called... taking precautions before they happen and being prepared for the smallest details.

Starworm: "...then turn around now?"

If Cat Doss is not dead, we should be able to find him by turning around now.

"You can find it, but there's no need to." The owl waved its wings to indicate that it was not necessary.

Starworm: “…Why?”

The owl looked at the starworm deeply and said: "As a space creature, you should read the Train Instructor Manual more."

Starworm didn't understand.

Owl said calmly, "My previous plan was just to stand on the side of No. 141 and use his method to deal with it. Now I am the conductor of the 199th train. I will not deal with such matters."

Starworm probably understood. He thought for a moment and asked curiously, "If you were in the same situation as Maodos, how would you handle it?"

The owl yawned. "Don't ask me. I won't encounter such a thing."

"Okay, since these problems are just minor matters, let's not waste any more time. Just dock and send these guests away. I'll go prepare to lay a new star track."

Starworm nodded and walked out of the hall.

After passing through a burst of colorful light and shadow, he returned to the carriage.

Walking forward step by step, he would open the door of each carriage and say to the passengers with different expressions in the carriage: "We have arrived. Welcome aboard the Xinghai Train."

There was clearly a pitch-black void outside the train, but after the passengers got off, they all arrived at the place they wanted to go.

Some of the passengers sent down through the same door were even separated by infinite dimensions.

But they went through the same door, but arrived at different locations at the same time.

This is the Starry Sky Train.

A miracle of creation.

After seeing off 70% of the passengers, Starworm finally closed the door and signaled to other train attendants to greet the passengers who were still in the carriage.

"The next step will be a new journey. I hope everyone can find their home in this new journey."

As soon as the train attendants finished speaking, Starworm prepared to go to the cab to see whether the new conductor had finished laying the star track.

But before he could move, he heard the sound of an owl.

The starworm was stunned for a moment and then returned to the carriage.

Signaled to the other conductors.

After a while, the conductor's voice sounded again in a different car: "I'm sorry, passengers who are still in the car, due to special reasons, you will not be allowed to get off the train or stop during the rest of the journey."

"So, goodnight, everyone."

As he finished speaking, a hissing sound was heard in the carriage, and a faint mist was continuously released from the door cracks and pipe holes.

Soon, the mist filled the entire Star Sea Train.

All the passengers on the train who had not yet gotten off fell into a coma due to the effect of the aerosol.

After all the passengers fell asleep, Starworm looked at the other train attendants.

"You guys should rest too."

The train attendants' eyes flashed with confusion: "Master Starworm, is there anything special about the next journey?"

Normally, even if it was a cross-dimensional event, it wouldn't be so grand. Not only were all the carriages intentionally closed, but even the platforms for stopping were not set up.

Even the powerful guests were forced into a coma.

These guests will definitely cause a lot of problems after they wake up.

But the conductor still made this decision, which made everyone very confused.

Starworm sighed: "I don't know the situation, but I can tell you that the train conductor this time is in the top ten."

There were exclamations one after another in the carriage.

When the first ten came, something big must have happened. No wonder all the guests fell into a coma...

Starworm did not explain any more and signaled other train attendants to return to their workstations. He then walked along the long corridor to the driver's cab.

After he passed a series of tests and entered the familiar dome hall.

He suddenly discovered that the originally transparent dome suddenly became blurry.

It was as if a layer of fog was added, turning the transparent glass into frosted glass.

"You're here... No need to look outside, I've set it up outside. There are some things you are not suitable to look at now, otherwise it's easy to go crazy." The voice came from the owl standing in front of the frosted glass.

Crazy? Starworm had a question in his mind, but he didn't ask any more questions. After wandering in time and space and dimensions for so many years, he already knew how deep the darkness was hidden outside the Star Spirit World.

Fortunately, he became a train conductor, otherwise he would have gone crazy the moment he landed.

"Master, is Star Track ready? Can we move forward?"

The owl stroked his long gray beard and turned his head and said, "I thought you would first ask me why I let all the guests sleep."

Starworm: "You must have your reasons for doing this."

Owl smiled and said, "The star tracks have been laid long ago. Besides, didn't you notice that the train has actually entered the realm of dreams? Otherwise, do you think they can fall asleep so easily?"
