Why are all the people in Chapter 174 familiar faces?
Golden hour, Clockboy Square.
As soon as Lin Qiong arrived at the square, he spotted Ji Zi and the others in the distance.
They were gathered around the Clockwork Boy sculpture, their mouths opening and closing intermittently, as if they were talking about something.
What's even more surprising is that Xing, who was taken away by the black swan earlier, is also among them.
Seeing this, Lin Qiong immediately stretched out his hand, pointed to the location where Ji Zi and the others were currently, and said:
“Miss Huang Quan, those standing over there are my companions.”
Huang Quan looked in the direction Lin Qiong pointed and indeed saw several people gathered around the base of the Clockwork Boy sculpture.
Among them, the woman with an elegant demeanor and fiery red hair was particularly eye-catching.
Lin Qiong quickened his pace, waving to Huang Quan as he walked, signaling her to follow.
"Come here, let me introduce you."
......
"Not only Miss Firefly from the Iris family... but even Miss Robin was murdered in her dream?"
Among the crowd, Walter Young frowned and looked at Xing with a serious expression, briefly summarizing what she had said.
Xing nodded and continued, picking up where he left off:
"Yes, and Sand Gold insists that the murderer of Miss Robin is that sea patrol knight."
"Unfounded accusations?" Himeko stroked her chin, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. "The two cases are not entirely the same, yet that envoy from the Interstellar Peace Corporation has pointed the finger at Miss Yomi..."
“Hey! In that case, why don’t we go see Miss Huang Quan first and hear what she has to say?” March 7th suddenly interjected, offering her suggestion.
“Hmm…” Upon hearing March 7’s suggestion, Walter Young subconsciously rubbed the surface of his cane with his thumb and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said:
"Yes, Little March is right. No matter what, we need to meet that sea patrol ranger first and find out her stance..."
Before Walter Young could finish speaking, Lin Qiong's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Yo, Himeko, everyone, I'm back, and I've brought a friend with me."
As he spoke, Lin Qiong and Huang Quan walked up to Ji Zi and the others.
"Oh, you're finally back! We've been sending so many messages..." March 7th said as she turned around.
But when she turned around, she caught a glimpse of Lin Qiong's newly dyed white hair and the woman beside him holding a long knife.
The words that were already on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
at the same time.
Walter Young also turned around, and along with the others, turned his gaze toward the direction where Lin Qiong was.
Available in the next second.
"pat".
A sound of an object colliding with the ground suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Qiong was startled at first, then turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Walter Young stared wide-eyed at them, his face filled with shock, so much so that he didn't even notice his cane falling to the ground.
His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was speechless.
"Ah, Sora, and Miss Yomi, you two actually came back from there too!"
After Lin Qiong and Huang Quan walked over, Xing immediately came up excitedly to greet them.
As she spoke, she paused slightly, then looked up and shifted her gaze to the top of Lin Qiong's head:
"Hey, Qiong, why is your hair all white?"
“Yes, that’s exactly what I was about to ask.” March 7th walked over and asked curiously.
"Hmph." Lin Qiong snorted lightly, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he raised his hand to flip his hair. "How is it? Handsome, right? I just dyed it at the hair salon."
"Hey, so vain," March 7th teased playfully.
At this moment, Walter Young picked up his cane and walked straight over, stopping in front of Lin Qiong and Huang Quan with a serious expression.
He kept scrutinizing Lin Qiong after he dyed his hair, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, muttering under his breath:
"Like Himeko, he's just a similar individual; Sora couldn't possibly be him..."
Lin Qiong, who was talking with March 7 and Xing, noticed Walter Yang's unusual behavior and couldn't help but smile.
Just as he had thought.
As long as I stand in front of Walter Young with a head of white hair, I will surely bring him an unexpected surprise.
"Qiong, won't you introduce this guest to us first?"
Just as Lin Qiong was focusing his attention on Walter Yang, he suddenly heard Himeko's voice.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I almost forgot."
Reminded by Himeko, Lin Qiong snapped out of his reverie and slapped the back of his head.
I was so focused on observing Walter Yang's reaction that I almost forgot about Huang Quan standing to the side.
Lin Qiong quickly turned to Ji Zi and the others, and introduced them, "Uh... this is Miss Huang Quan, a renowned sea patrol knight."
After the introduction, he turned to face Huang Quan, "And the people here, including myself, are all passengers on the Star Train."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce myself." Lin Qiong scratched his head, an awkward smile appearing on his face. "My name is Qiong."
Then, the others introduced themselves to Huang Quan in turn.
After Xinghe and March 7th announced their names, Huang Quan nodded slightly to them.
But after hearing Himeko's explanation, Yomi's body trembled slightly involuntarily, and the hand holding the knife subconsciously increased its force.
Similarly, when Walter Young introduced himself, her face also revealed an unusual emotion.
"Miss Yomi, it's a pleasure to meet you." Himeko said softly, extending her right hand to Yomi with a smile.
"Me too, it's a pleasure to meet everyone on the Star Train."
Huang Quan switched the long sword in his right hand to his left, and then gently grasped Himeko's outstretched hand.
Just as the two were about to withdraw their hands.
Himeko's expression suddenly turned serious, and she exerted a little force with her right hand to prevent Yomi from pulling her hand back.
At the same time, her eyes met Huang Quan's, and she asked, "Miss Huang Quan, may I ask you a question?"
Feeling the pressure coming from his hand, Huang Quan was slightly taken aback.
She looked up at Himeko and realized that the other party did not show any malice.
"Speak freely," Huang Quan nodded in response.
"Miss Robin...that world-famous singer, is her death...related to you?"
