Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 173 First, dye your hair white to scare Old Yang.

that's it.

Led by Huang Quan, Lin Qiong turned corner after corner and passed through several similar corridors. After an unknown amount of time, he finally found the elevator that Huang Quan had mentioned.

Despite some twists and turns, the two eventually boarded the elevator and pressed the start button.

As the metal doors began to slowly close, the light inside the elevator suddenly dimmed.

Suddenly, Lin Qiong felt the scenery before him gradually blurring, and even Huang Quan's figure beside him became indistinct...

After a moment of disorientation, Lin Qiong found himself in a brightly lit, bustling metropolis.

"Our golden moment has arrived," Huang Quan whispered in his ear.

Upon hearing Huang Quan's reminder, Lin Qiong realized that they were standing at the main entrance of the Daydream Hotel.

Meanwhile, guests dressed in various gorgeous gowns hurried past the two, entering and exiting the building behind them.

at the same time.

Before Lin Qiong could recover from the dream transition, his phone notification rang urgently.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

I took out my phone and saw that the screen was full of messages from my companions, including Himeko, Welt Young, March 7th, and Hoshi...

It seems that after leaving that dream, the phone's communication function returned to normal.

Lin Qiong quickly flipped through the messages.

Without exception, all of these messages inquired about which dream he planned to visit and why he hadn't replied for so long.

The two latest messages were sent by Himeko.

One of the messages was roughly asking if he was currently safe and if he was unable to reply to messages for some reason.

In another message, Himeko mentioned that she had already learned the whole story from Black Swan.

She specifically instructed Lin Qiong that once he successfully escaped from that dream, he should remember to contact her immediately.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qiong couldn't help but chuckle softly; the concern shown by his companions warmed his heart.

He sent Himeko a message to let her know he was safe and sound, and quickly received a reply.

Himeko: [You've returned to the Golden Age? That's perfect. Let's meet at Clockwork Boy Plaza first.]

After replying with "Received," Lin Qiong immediately turned to Huang Quan beside him and asked:

"Miss Huang Quan, are you free now? If so, would you like to come with me to meet my companions?"

......

After Huang Quan nodded in agreement, Lin Qiong led her towards Clock Boy Plaza.

Along the way, the two happened to pass by a styling shop that seemed to exist in a dream.

When Lin Qiong inadvertently glanced at the neon signboard in front of the stylist shop, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

He first glanced at Huang Quan beside him, then shifted his gaze to the signboard of the styling shop.

“Miss Huang Quan.” Lin Qiong stopped at the entrance of the stylist’s office and turned to Huang Quan, saying, “Could you please wait here for me for a moment?”

"Hmm? Is there something you need?"

After hearing Lin Qiong's words, Huang Quan also stopped and slowly turned around, looking at Lin Qiong with a face full of doubt.

"It's nothing serious, just a moment, I'll be right there."

Lin Qiong's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he spoke, pushing open the door of the stylist's shop and walking in without hesitation.

He had already made up his mind to prepare a super big surprise for Lao Yang!

He will realize this surprise through this styling shop.

soon.

Lin Qiong stepped out of the styling room with a satisfied expression: "Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Huang Quan."

Hearing the sound, Huang Quan, who was leaning against the door with his eyes closed, slightly opened them and turned to look at Lin Qiong: "It's not closed..."

But before she could finish speaking, her voice stopped abruptly, as if she had swallowed the words back down her throat.

Seeing Huang Quan's surprised expression, Lin Qiong knew that the "surprise" had achieved its intended effect.

His lips unconsciously curled up, and he began to look forward to meeting Walter Young.

After a long pause, a complex look flashed in Huang Quan's eyes, and he asked softly, "...Why did you dye your hair white?"

"I heard from others that you can change your appearance at will in your dreams, and it's not a problem if you want to become an animal."

"So I tried dyeing my hair."

Lin Qiong grinned and walked to a glass panel as he spoke, carefully examining his new appearance in the reflected light.

Although this is quite different from his usual image, it still looks appropriate overall.

Once I hold the Heavenly Fire Greatsword in my hand again, it will probably be perfect.

Lin Qiong nodded in satisfaction, turned his gaze away from the glass, looked at Huang Quan, and said:

“Miss Huang Quan, let’s continue on our way. Clockwork Boy Plaza is just down over there.”

But as the words fell...

Huang Quan did not respond immediately, but stared blankly at Lin Qiong.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong frowned slightly and waved his hand in front of Huang Quan's eyes, trying to get her attention.

At the same time, he raised his voice and called out, "Miss Huang Quan?"

Upon hearing the sound, Huang Quan trembled, blinked, and his pupils gradually regained focus.

"Hmm? Oh, sorry, I think I was a little... distracted just now."

Huang Quan quickly picked up the long sword she had leaned against the wall and slowly straightened up: "Let's go."

After saying that, she took a step forward and walked towards the stairs leading to Clockwork Boys Plaza across the road.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong scratched his head, puzzled, then lifted his leg, quickened his pace, and caught up with Huang Quan who was walking ahead.
