I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

"Waaah...Mother March, I made a mistake~"

Xing hugged March 7's exquisite, snow-white legs, rubbed her face against them, and made a sweet, cloying sound that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Hey~ I've told you not to talk like a child!"

Is this guy's morals getting lower and lower?

"Phew, that scared me to death!"

Looking at the ugly creature that had been instantly refined in Qiong's hands, March 7th patted his rather large chest with lingering fear.

"I really thought it was my long-lost twin sister who had popped up... but it turned out to be a giant cockroach!"

"According to biological classification, true cockroaches belong to the order Coleoptera, while cockroaches belong to the order Blattodea. There are still significant differences between the two at the class and order level."

Qiong corrected the biological knowledge, which was as barren as the chest of the good-breasted brother, the hare, and the silver wolf.

"Oh, never mind what kind it is!"

March 7th glared at A-Qiong, who dared to imply that she was stupid, and then decisively turned to her teammates who seemed more reliable:

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Simply put, the train has been invaded by insects."

Teacher Danheng's words were concise and to the point.

"We are clearing out these uninvited guests in designated areas."

Haitu crossed his arms and added, his fingertips swiping rapidly across the virtual screen, seemingly marking the distribution of the swarm.

"The question is, why do they chase the train? Is there something on the train that particularly attracts them?"

As Himeko spoke, her gaze thoughtfully drifted towards the stars and the sky.

When you're completely clueless about an anomaly, asking these two troublemakers, Star Baby and Sky Baby, always yields unexpected results—this has almost become a new consensus among the train crew.

"Huh? I don't know!"

Xing looked bewildered, then turned to look at Qiongzai with a hint of shifting blame in her eyes.

Others may not know, but she knew that she had embarked on a reproductive journey.

"Don't shift the blame, don't look at me."

Qiong immediately waved her hand, looking innocent and helpless.

This has nothing to do with the fate of reproduction.

Yinzhi, who had been standing gracefully and quietly, slowly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of apology:

“I think the root of the problem might lie with us. Vilit may have inadvertently been contaminated with the pheromones of the Zerg. Those true Zerglings tracked them down by following this scent and infiltrated the train.”

"I thought I had driven them all away, but unfortunately, it is clear that I have not been able to completely eradicate them."

"Regardless of the reason, the most urgent task is to stop more true gnats from infiltrating the train, and more importantly, to prevent them from reproducing, otherwise the consequences will be..."

Dan Heng frowned, his tone grave.

"Ugh... I don't want to see a bunch of March 7ths crawling all over the train! Just me, Xing, and Qiong are enough of a mess."

March 7th suddenly felt a chill.

"Ah Qi, it's good that you know your place, but could you please not drag me into this?"

Qiong put her arm around the pink-haired girl's shoulder.

"Hmph~ that person should learn from me, he has no self-awareness at all."

March 7th gave Qiong a charmingly disdainful look.

"Alright, now is not the time to joke around. In addition to getting rid of the bugs in the carriage, we also need to find a way to get out of the giant stinging worm's body."

Looking at these young people who showed no sense of crisis whatsoever, bickering and flirting even inside the insect's belly, Himeko helplessly rubbed her temples.

Everyone quickly moved to the control compartment at the front. Himeko's gaze fell on Welt, who was completely focused on the control panel, and Pam, who was frantically trying to do something.

"How is the situation?"

"This is terrible! The signal is affected, and the energy readings are all messed up!"

Pam was sweating profusely, her short hands flying across the complex control panel, her ears drooping in her haste.

Walter pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said in a deep voice:

"Based on the analysis of various environmental parameters... we are very likely currently inside its stomach."

"Ah!? My stomach, my stomach!"

On March 7th, as if struck by lightning, he jumped up, clutching his chest with both hands:

"No! I... I don't taste good at all! The meat is sour! Really! Will my teddy bear and rabbit in my room be dissolved by the stomach acid? They've been with me for so long, I have to rescue them..."

"..."

"..."

The control room fell into dead silence.

"So quiet...won't you say something?"

The silence made Xiao Sanyue even more anxious.

"To meet you all here, I, Yinzhi, have no regrets even in death."

Yinzhi bowed slightly, her hand on her chest, her tone sincere and earnest.

"...Okay, I suddenly think that quiet thinking is quite nice."

On March 7th, a strained smile appeared on his face.

Then, she decisively turned to Sora, grabbed one of Sora's arms, and used her skills of acting cute and her privileges as a beautiful girl.

"Doraemon, think of something quick! You must have a solution, right?"

Qiong looked at the girl hanging on her arm, feeling the soft, warm sensation of her arm being wrapped in her skin. She raised her hand and gently patted the girl's fluffy pink head.

"I just can't do anything with you, Nobita-Nichi."

"No, you really have a way?"

The Haunted Rabbit was startled by what it heard.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

"There's no other way, so let's just throw out all those limited edition snacks that Ah Qi hoarded in his room. Maybe the bugs will be full and won't want to be bothered with us anymore."

Haunted Rabbit: "?"

She silently withdrew her earlier expectations—the preface was retracted.

"Perhaps we could try briefly overloading the train engine to impact the worm's stomach wall and propel it out of the giant true worm's body at supersonic speed."

Walter, one of the parents, pondered a way to break the deadlock, his gaze fixed solemnly on the writhing "starry sky" outside the car window, emitting a dark red glow.

The train is currently inside the stomach of the giant true worm. Many methods are used with caution, as deploying Eden's Star at such close range would definitely affect the train. Otherwise, he would have already started in the name of the world.

"Then why not just perform a jump?"

The little duckling asked a question.

"A jump requires a stable course, charging time, and many other preparations."

Dan Heng shook his head and explained, "The energy ripples generated during the process will attract the attention of the insect swarm."

"This method is extremely risky."

Himeko pinched her smooth chin, her eyebrows furrowed, "The engine is very likely to spontaneously combust..."

"I also think it's inappropriate."

Yinzhi stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Xing and Qiong, his expression solemn:

"My dear friends, I have an idea. May I speak with you privately?"

"...When did you two become best friends?"

March 7th looked at the three of them suspiciously.

But to be fair, the three of them seem to get along quite well, at least in abstract terms.

"The friendship between pure knights is so pure and sincere that it needs no further explanation."

Qiong and Xing put their arms around each other's shoulders and said smugly to March 7.

You'd better apologize to me for using the phrase "pure and beautiful knight"!

Little March's expression was contorted.

Oh, the knights are all abstract too?

That's fine.

"You wouldn't mean to say..."

A knowing smile played on Qiong's lips as she looked directly at the handsome knight.

"Will you disembark alone, use that long spear to pierce its stomach wall, induce violent spasms, and make it vomit the train out?"

"..."

Yinzhi remained silent for a moment, a hint of surprise that she had been completely seen through flashing in her firm eyes, which then turned into a deeper resolve.

"As expected of my dearest friend, this thought has indeed lingered in my heart. Perhaps it is because I have been traveling alone in the Milky Way for too long that I cannot understand where this feeling comes from."

"But I know that as a knight, my duty is to protect the seeds that contain beauty, to stand in their way, and to resist everything. At this moment, the Star Train and you are that most precious seed..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Qiong decisively raised her hand, interrupting the aria that Yinzhi was about to begin:

“I understand what you mean, chivalry is commendable, but—”

"There's no need for that."

"But how can the train escape from the mouth of the giant true worm if it doesn't do this?"

Yinzhi Chenzhi frowned, his voice low and worried.

"It's very simple—"

Qiong stood tall and proud, his expression calm.

Whoosh whoosh~

Gastric juices surged, creating a raging storm, and a figure, graceful and composed, slowly emerged from the crimson starry sky.

The people in the carriage then heard her sing:

"In our youth, we basked in the spring sunshine, amidst the falling snow and the lingering fragrance of cakes."

"Love, hate, passion, and grudges come with the waves; I wake up with graying temples and feel a slight chill."

"Plum blossoms bloom in the river of gastric acid, and the true hibernating creatures awaken with songs as the night is not yet over."

"Now, amidst the vicissitudes of life, we ascend the dance pavilion; all spirits await their unbridled destiny."

As the poetry faded, all was silent, not a sound could be heard.

The expressions on everyone's faces were quite varied.

Himeko's expression was strange; her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

On March 7th, his mouth was open in an "O" shape.

Walter's movement of pushing up his glasses froze, and Dan Heng remained expressionless.

The little duck was completely bewildered.

Haitu looked like he was cursing.

Her jet-black hair flowed like a waterfall, and the beautiful woman's smile was as warm as a spring breeze. She walked gracefully to Qiong, as if strolling through a misty, rain-drenched corridor in a Jiangnan water town.

"—I'll just become a genius in the field of life sciences!"

After she finished speaking, while everyone was still immersed in the poem, Qiong grabbed Ruan Qiong's little head.

Refined in an instant!
