Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 254 Sand Table Game

As promised, Yunzhi really had no intention of making an appointment.

He and Lan walked directly to the entrance of the Morning Dew Mansion.

—Then he was stopped by Pipixi, who was guarding the door.

"Hey you two, this is a meeting place ahead, please do not enter without permission."

Perhaps it was because the light at the entrance was poor, and because the short Pipixi was wearing glasses—he didn't recognize the two prominent figures in the universe before him.

Yun Zhi twitched her eyebrows.

This is really... a bit awkward.

Well, it's already difficult enough for the little dwarf to look up at them, let's not make it harder on him.

"I am Yunzhi."

He wore a smile, insincere yet attractive.

"If you don't let me in now, your esteemed guest will probably have to kneel down and beg me to come in later."

The words may be harsh, but they are very true.

Upon hearing the name "Yun Zhi," Pipi Xi immediately froze, then stood in awe.

"Yes, you are always a distinguished guest of the 'family'."

Yun Zhi could see a fawning expression on Pipi Xi's childlike face that seemed completely out of place.

Can't these kids have a more innocent expression? It's so painful to watch.

"Please come in, gentlemen. Chaolu Mansion is always open to you two distinguished guests."

As Pipixi spoke, she opened the door.

Then he stepped aside and bowed.

I didn't dare to look up at them.

After all, Yunzhi was already standing in front of them, and the other person beside him—if it wasn't just anyone from the train crew—there was only one possibility.

Pipixi said she didn't dare to speak.

Yun Zhi and Lan entered the Chaolu Mansion without any problems.

What are your thoughts on Sundays?

Walking down the corridor, Lan noticed a gaze from not far away and suddenly asked a question.

Yun Zhiming understands the meaning of "Lan".

However, there's no need to say anything too harsh.

"He's a rather controlling kid, but I don't dislike him."

Yun's objective evaluation is tinged with subjective emotions:

"After all, the child's name is quite pleasant, isn't it?"

It's Sunday.

Especially during their school days, Sunday was every student's favorite day.

So, while we can't guarantee the character of this oak family's owner, at least his appearance and name are quite pleasant.

Lan: "That's true."

Even though he was a "traitor," Lan didn't really dislike that kid because he was one of the kindest people in the world besides the pharmacist.

Passing through a hidden night thrush room, the door came into view.

Logically, there should be a mechanism here.

Obviously, they wouldn't dare to use these things to cause trouble for Yunzhi and Lan.

Entering another room, in a magnificent hall, Yunzhi saw a sand table.

Wow.

It's a miniature sand table of the "Golden Moment".

In front of the sand table, there is a small archway.

It looks like it was placed there hastily, and Yunzhi even adjusted its placement.

"Gulliver's Arch...that's a familiar name."

In Gulliver's Travels, the protagonist visited both Brobdingnag and Lilliput.

Lan crossed her arms: "Want to go inside and play?"

They don't necessarily have to go through this archway; they can control their own size.

Yunzhi wanted a bit of a sense of ritual.

He pulled Lan through the archway.

It's like one of Doraemon's magical gadgets—isn't that called the Gulliver Tunnel?—through this little door.

In an instant, the model in the sand table became towering.

Yun Zhi wandered around the sand table with great interest.

—Although some of the model dolls are quite strange, some are lying on the ground, some are clipping through the mold, and some are lining up to bang their heads against the wall…

But this did not dampen Yunzhi's spirits in the slightest.

"A miniature 'Golden Hour,' exquisitely crafted, with everything inside... oh, even origami birds."

The praise of the clouds.

Lan followed his gaze and looked up.

A large green origami bird sits atop a model skyscraper, tilting its head and looking at them.

very cute.

If you ignore its trembling body.

The origami bird said it had been there for who knows how long and this was the first time it had ever seen... seen...

He was speechless.

It could only make a few "miu~miu~miu~" sounds and wave its little wings as a greeting.

Yun Zhi also smiled and waved.

Their gaze then shifted to another spot.

The oak soldier figure on the cassette tape was automatically ignored, and Yunzhi looked at a disc embedded in the ground.

"There should have been something here before..."

Yunzhi stared at the empty base.

It looks like there should be a ball cage machine, the kind that can quickly transport people between upper and lower levels.

Lan did recall that there were many such devices during the Golden Hour.

"I'll go look for it."

Lan didn't need to go through Gulliver's Arch again. He simply leaped into the air, his clothes fluttering as he flew out of the base model. When he landed gracefully, he had already become a normal-sized person.

Origami birds: (⊙o⊙)

Wow.

That's amazing! It can change size anytime, anywhere.

The origami bird couldn't help but hop and flap its wings.

"Wow, that's cool."

Yun raised her head and looked through the gaps in the skyscraper models at Lan, who was already standing outside.

"From this angle, it really does look like a god looking down on all living beings."

Yun praised.

Lan blushed slightly.

"What's here is humanity."

He said it seriously.

—But little Yunzhi is so cute.

Lan looked at Yunzhi, blinked, blinked.

"What are you doing? Are your eyes dry?"

Yun asked very directly.

Lan shook her head: "No, this model should still be somewhere here."

"I know, I know. Go find where this thing is, Lan. I'm waiting."

"I'll be right back."

Lan nodded first, then turned around and followed her intuition toward her goal.

It wasn't far, just in a nearby room, and it wasn't hidden; it was simply placed openly under the candlestick.

Lan picked up the model and returned to the sand table.

Yunzhi is playing with origami birds.

A large origami bird couldn't just sit down, so Yunzhi just chatted and laughed with it from a distance.

"I'm back."

Lan held up the pinball machine model: "You just need to put it on top, right?"

Yun nodded: "Yes, it's fine to put it here."

So, the tall Lan put the model down.

The pinball machine model floats above the base.

However, Lan did not immediately withdraw her hand.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then opened his hands, palms facing up.

"Want to give it a try?"

Use this figure to go outside and have some fun.

"Ah...this does look interesting."

Yun lightly leaped and landed in Lan's palm.

Lan seemed to freeze for a moment, then slowly raised her hand and moved closer.

"Looking at it this way, I really don't know if you've wandered into Lilliput or I've entered Brobdingnag."

Yunzhi still had the mind to joke.

Lan was very restrained; he placed his hand near his shoulder.

Yun jumped onto His shoulder and sat down.

"Alright, let's go up and take a look—he might not be here on Sunday, and he probably won't dare to see you."

Only Yunzhi can be spoken to on Sundays.

But even a mere wisp of insignificant consciousness is enough for the Star God to reach this point...

Sunday is indeed very controlling, and he is also cautious.

Now, who knows where they've gone to seek refuge.
