Chapter 282 There are still many good people in the world.
It's like someone handing you a pillow when you're just trying to sleep.
Lin Qiong was originally thinking about how to contact the Starry Sky Train and ask his companions who stayed on the train for assistance.
Now, things have taken a turn for the better; someone has actually stepped forward to offer help.
He took a closer look at the AI that had appeared out of nowhere, and a mixture of surprise and doubt flickered in his eyes.
For some reason, he always felt that there was some unspeakable secret hidden behind the other party's willingness to help...
After weighing his options for a moment, Lin Qiong slowly spoke:
"So, if we're willing to leave this world, will you help us repair the train carriages?"
As he spoke, he subtly glanced at the Golden Bloods led by Aglaia, taking in their reactions.
Without exception, their gazes toward Laigushi were filled with anger.
However, given that there were still many questions that needed to be answered by Lai Gushi, they had to suppress their anger and refrain from acting out on the spot.
“Of course,” Rigs replied briefly. “If you agree to this condition, I will begin repairing that carriage immediately.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's eyes flickered slightly, glancing almost imperceptibly towards the water basin.
Xing still hadn't returned from the trials of Oronis.
Immediately afterwards, without any attempt to hide it, he turned his head and looked at Dan Heng, who was standing to the side, in front of Lai Gu Shi.
"Danheng, what do you think?"
Lin Qiong deliberately raised his voice and asked loudly:
"Actually, this is a pretty good suggestion. We can't find a way to leave right now, can we?"
As he spoke, he kept winking at Dan Heng, hoping that the other party would understand what he meant.
Upon seeing this, Dan Heng's lips twitched unconsciously, and after a long silence, he nodded.
"Hmm... I think this suggestion is feasible."
"Hey, that's right!" Lin Qiong immediately turned his head to look at Lai Gushi, "Dan Heng and I have agreed to your conditions."
"Look at our carriages...?"
Lin Qiong grinned, clasped his hands together, mimicking the action of a fly rubbing its hands, and showed an expectant expression on his face.
They looked as if they couldn't wait to leave this world.
"An absolutely correct decision."
Lai Gushi deftly clasped his hands together and gently clapped.
After the applause ended, it extended its right hand, raised three fingers, and made a promise:
"I will repair that carriage within two days so that you two can embark on your journey home sooner."
"Hiss... So rushed?" Lin Qiong scratched his head and muttered in feigned shock, "I thought I could collect all twelve fire seeds before leaving."
"Oh dear, what a pity. In two days, we probably won't even be able to find a source of fire."
As Lin Qiong spoke, he sighed helplessly, his face filled with regret.
While he was sighing, he secretly glanced at Laigushi out of the corner of his eye, observing the other's reaction.
And it was at this moment that, after a long silence, Laigushi suddenly spoke:
"If you are willing to help the Golden Descendants gather the flames before you leave, I may be able to offer some small assistance."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong, whose head had been drooping with regret, instantly raised it, a barely perceptible gleam of smug joy flashing in his eyes.
"Oh? Help?" He raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, and followed up with, "How do you plan to help?"
Upon hearing this, Laigushi replied in a confident tone:
"Perhaps I can help you... pinpoint the exact location of the spark."
......
Meanwhile, inside the trial of Oronis.
At this moment, Xing was standing on the edge of a circular platform. Below the platform was a bottomless void, and a hazy mist surged like the sea below.
In the distance, within the mist opposite the platform, lies a massive silhouette.
At the very center of that outline, a golden-orange light was flashing continuously, as if a giant beast had opened its single, undeniable eye.
That is Euronis.
Just now, the Olonis in the trial acknowledged the Star and decided to transfer the divine authority it held to her.
However, Xing did not show any excitement after learning about this.
On the contrary, her brows furrowed tightly, and her face showed an extremely solemn and shocked expression.
Not only Xing, but even Mimi, who was floating beside her, widened her bright eyes, which were filled with unconcealed worry.
"How is this possible..."
Xing raised her hand to support her throbbing head, murmuring incredulously.
Not long ago, during a conversation with Olonis, Xing and Mimi learned some incredibly shocking news.
The news was so outrageous that Xing still finds it hard to accept.
"I'm...dead!?"
Xing's voice trembled slightly, as if just uttering those few words had exhausted all her strength.
Meanwhile, Mimi, standing to the side, was so shocked by the news that she stood frozen in mid-air, as if time had stopped.
But before they could recover from their shock...
Boom—
A deafening roar exploded in the air.
At that moment, the entire trial space suddenly trembled violently without warning.
The next second, the distant sky crumbled and peeled off piece by piece, like shattered glass.
Upon noticing this phenomenon, Mimi quickly snapped out of her daze and focused her attention to carefully perceive the space around her.
After a long while, she suddenly opened her eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"This...Olonis's divinity seems to be dissipating. Is the trial about to end?"
But as soon as Mimi finished speaking, Xing suddenly felt a blackout before her eyes, followed by a strong sense of dizziness.
Then, her body began to sway uncontrollably, and her hands instinctively tried to grab onto something, but she couldn't touch anything.
Finally, amidst a hazy whisper that was indistinguishable between Mimi and Euronis, Xing gradually lost consciousness.
......
Inside the primordial vortex at this moment.
"Really? The remaining embers are in these few places?"
Lin Qiong stared wide-eyed at the intelligent machine before him in disbelief.
Just now, Lai Gushi provided Lin Qiong and the others with the location of the remaining few embers.
To be honest, he found it hard to believe that the other party could pinpoint the exact locations of the remaining sparks so precisely.
Especially the Titan of Death—
The fire of Senatos.
According to Xia Die, she has been searching for Senatos for hundreds of years, but has yet to find any trace of it.
Surprisingly, we now know the exact location of this spark from Lai Gu Shi.
"The Titan of Death, which others have spent hundreds of years searching for, has now been found by you, an omnic of unknown origin?"
Lin Qiong frowned slightly, his eyes filled with undisguised suspicion as he looked at Lai Gushi.
"Correction. I am from Antikythera."
Lai Gushi replied in a deep voice, "The remaining few sparks are in these locations. As for whether or not to trust them, that is entirely up to you."
It paused for a moment, then spoke again:
"At this point, I have answered all the questions raised by everyone."
In order to ensure that the two guests from outer space could return as soon as possible, I immediately set off to repair the damaged carriage.
After saying that, Lai Gushi snapped his fingers.
In an instant, a dazzling white light appeared and enveloped him completely.
In the blink of an eye, Lai Gushi's figure followed the white light and vanished from everyone's sight.
Only the crowd remained, standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
However, just as Lai Gu Shi left the center of the cosmic vortex, a blinding white light also erupted from the basin.
Then, an extremely anxious voice came from within the light:
"Help! Xing is dying!!!"
