Very well, the first step in the misunderstanding has been completed.
Where Dan Heng and March 7th couldn't see, Bai Luan revealed a knowing smile.
At this point, Danheng made a conjecture:
"Assuming Yi Mu's true form is a young girl, and her voice hasn't changed in over nine hundred years, could she be a person from the Immortal Ship?"
"Her pastry series does indeed have a fairy ship feel to it, and the long lifespan also matches it."
As March 7th spoke, he looked at Bai Luan and asked:
Are there any crew members from the space station?
"To my knowledge, no."
Dan Heng, settling for second best, asked:
"What about the staff members who have worked on the space station for hundreds of years?"
This is not good. If we trace it back to this point, we might end up tracing it back to ourselves.
Bai Luan smiled calmly and said:
"There are no staff members on the Black Tower space station who have worked 'continuously' for hundreds of years."
Upon hearing this, Danheng fell into deep thought.
"Did you notice that in the early days of Yimu, the filming location was not the space station?"
"I know, I know! Yi Mu's early films were about daily life in a botanical garden! The content was all sorts of strange and wonderful plants!"
Bai Luan nodded, satisfied with March 7th's supplement, and based on this, he reasonably deduced:
"There is no such place on the space station, so I speculate that Yimu is a new crew member who has recently arrived at the space station!"
The gap of over nine hundred years in between was during her travels across the galaxy, where she learned culinary skills. Otherwise, there's no way to explain how she could cook so many dishes, and so skillfully at it!
"Oh, oh, oh, that makes sense!"
On March 7th, he looked at Bai Luan and asked:
"I didn't know you knew so much about Yimu! Are you a fan of his too?"
"No, I'm not a fan of Yimu."
I am him.
But Bai Luan obviously wouldn't say that.
"The reason I know Yi Mu so well is because there are people like March 7th on the space station who want to find out Yi Mu's true identity. These people have now created a group and share information in the group every day."
"There's an organized group here? Can you add me to the group? Let's work together to find her out!"
Faced with March 7's request, Bai Luan shook his head and said:
"There are requirements for joining the group chat. At the very least, you have to be a staff member."
"Oh? That's such a pity."
"However, I'm in the group, so I'll tell you directly any information I have."
"Yay!"
Dan Heng then spoke up:
"In that case, is there any useful information in the group?"
That's all for now. I'll let you know if there are any new developments.
A hint of regret flashed in March 7's eyes:
"It seems we'll have to rely on ourselves from now on."
Dan Heng looked up at the corner of the kitchen wall and asked:
Is there CCTV footage in the kitchen?
"Everyone has checked the surveillance footage but hasn't found any useful clues."
Indeed, some people have thought of checking the surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage did indeed capture Bai Luan cooking here.
However, due to Bai Luan's misleading statement, his gender was determined to be female, so no one paid any attention to him.
Furthermore, when Bai Luan cooked, he always chose a location far from the surveillance cameras, and they even played the video at double speed, making it even harder to see what dishes Bai Luan was making.
Furthermore, there is a time difference between the time Yi Mu's account updates and when Bai Luan is cooking, which further reduces the amount of useful information that can be obtained by checking the surveillance footage.
"Now we can only find people on the space station based on their voices and genders."
"I have to say, Yi Mu has hidden himself quite well. Now everyone in the group is using this kind of clumsy method to find him."
At this moment, Danheng spoke again:
"Perhaps the voice in the video is not Yi Mu's real voice."
Bai Luan glanced at Dan Heng.
How do you always manage to spot blind spots?
"I agree with this view."
Bai Luan cast his vote in favor, and then a second later, he spoke again:
"She may have used voice-altering techniques to change her original voice, but she should be a woman."
The voice in the video is so natural; if it were a man faking it, it would be impossible to maintain such perfection in every episode.
After hearing Bai Luan's speculation, Dan Heng nodded in agreement.
"It seems we won't get any useful information here. Let's go. The train won't be stopped for long, so we need to hurry."
"If we search one by one, we're likely to find nothing."
"What if? Danheng, what if?"
Danheng sighed as he looked at the still enthusiastic March 7th.
Oh well, I never really intended to find it anyway, it was just something to kill time.
Let's just pretend we're just strolling around aimlessly.
On March 7th, Danheng thought he could try his luck, while the other had already half given up on finding Yimu.
Bai Luan nodded in satisfaction when he saw the expressions on San Yueqi and Dan Heng's faces.
very good.
They'll never find me in their lifetime.
The misleading tactic was a huge success.
The three of them walked out of the kitchen together.
"Mushroom~ mushroom~ mushroom~"
A hovering UFO, with Inspiration Mushroom humming its unique flight sound, flew over the three of them.
"Danheng, did you hear the sound that little thing that just flew by made...?"
Dan Heng nodded and said:
"Exactly the same as in the video."
Bai Luan then explained from the side:
"That's our space station's mascot, Inspiration Mushroom. You don't need to chase it; just call its name and it will come back."
Before Bai Luan could even call for the Inspiration Mushroom after he finished speaking, the Inspiration Mushroom flew back on its own, making "Mushroom~ Mushroom~ Mushroom~" sounds.
It looked curiously at March 7th and Danheng:
"Why haven't I seen you two mushrooms before?"
"Wow! Danheng, look! Mushrooms! The mushrooms are talking!"
"I know, I'm watching."
Bai Luan then greeted Linggan Gu:
"Good morning, Inspiration Mushroom. These two are guests of the space station."
"No wonder I've never seen Mushroom before. I know almost everyone on this space station."
March 7th's attention had completely shifted from Yimu to Linggan Mushroom. She pulled out her camera, her eyes shining, and said:
"Can I take a picture of you together? Is that okay? Is that okay?"
"No problem, mushrooms."
Click, click, click.
While taking a photo with the Inspiration Mushroom on March 7th, Danheng was deep in thought.
Does it mean it knows all the crew members on the space station?
"Yes, it recognizes most of them. After all, it doesn't have much to do, so it just floats around in the space station and chats with everyone."
That's probably why Yimu chose Linggangu's voice as the object of his imitation.
Dan Heng glanced at Bai Luan and asked:
"Since you knew that the voice in the video might be Yi Mu disguised as Linggan Gu's voice, why didn't you tell us?"
"If I told you directly that it was a mushroom making that sound, would you believe me?"
"Hmm...you're right."
After March 7th and Inspiration Mushroom took a photo together, Danheng asked Inspiration Mushroom:
"Inspiration Mushroom, which of the space station staff do you think is Yi Mu?"
"..."
The Inspiration Mushroom paused for a moment, then spun around in place.
Those who didn't know might think this was a meaningless levitation motion, but Bai Luan knew that Linggan Gu had glanced at him.
"Gu can't say, Yi Mu is Gu's friend, and Gu promised him that she couldn't say it."
When March 7th heard what Inspiration Mushroom said, he replied nonchalantly:
"Never mind then, I'm already very satisfied with seeing the talking floating UFO mushroom."
Bai Luan looked at the Inspiration Mushroom and asked:
"Where's Chizuru? Isn't she usually by your side?"
"Chizuru, it's repairing the mushrooms there."
March 7th asked curiously:
Who is Chizuru?
"Oh, Chizuru is a paper crane that is folded out of paper, but it is alive."
"Huh?"
March 7th was stunned.
The next second, her eyes widened suddenly, and a curiosity ten times stronger than when she was searching for "Yi Mu" burst forth in her pink pupils. Her voice rose with excitement:
"Huh?!
I want to go see it!
PS: Huh? That's ridiculous! Wait... how did it get to 9.6 again? Three increases in three days? (Incredulous) (Author scratching head)
I'll update for a few more days then...
Let's see if we can make it to a week (I'm starting to worry about whether I can handle it).
Chapter 64 I'll tell you nothing anymore
Well, I'm glad their goal has shifted from exposing their own identities to seeing the origami cranes.
First Chapter Previous Chapter 66/306As for the other members of the train crew, Walter Yang is none of your concern. He recently heard about a highly advanced robot that appeared on the Black Tower space station and is very interested in it; he's planning to go find it.
"I know the location."
Walter Young, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation without anyone noticing, suddenly spoke up:
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Bai Luan casually told Lao Yang the location of the cabin where Xiu was located.
Thank you.
Old Yang thanked him and then left with eager steps.
He really wanted to see what a high-tech robot looked like.
"It's rare to see him so interested."
Hopefully, the result will satisfy him.
If the repair doesn't satisfy Lao Yang, then the only option is to let him see his own mecha.
Himeko looked at March 7th and Dan Heng who were walking over, and asked with a smile:
"How did the discussion go? Have you decided what to do in the coming period?"
Dan Heng nodded and said:
"On March 7th, he said he was going to find out the true identity of the account 'Yimu'."
"You mean the account that started more than nine hundred years ago, which was recently revived and started updating again?"
"That's him! It's him!"
Himeko nodded knowingly, and was about to say something when she suddenly realized something.
An assistant who was just pulled out of the time maelstrom more than nine hundred years ago...
The timelines seem to overlap.
Could it be...?
Himeko turned her head and looked at Bai Luan.
Bai Luan noticed Ji Zi's gaze, shrugged helplessly, which was taken as an admission.
'Yimu' is the name of his personal account.
March 7th said with great fighting spirit:
"The culprit behind my cravings is that they update food videos every night in the middle of the night!"
She pinched her flat stomach in distress, as if there really was a ring of non-existent fat there.
"It's made me gain weight!"
As she spoke, March 7th pinched her belly again, looking distressed.
Dan Heng continued from what he had said on March 7th, explaining:
"Recently, it has been discovered online that the kitchen appearing in the video is the kitchen of the Black Tower Space Station."
"In other words, the culprit who made me gain weight is hiding in this space station! We must find him!"
On March 7th, amidst great enthusiasm, Danheng suddenly asked a question:
"What happens after they've been caught?"
"After that... um..."
March 7th paused for a moment, touching his chin and falling into deep thought. His racking-for-brains look made Dan Heng rub his temples.
Sure enough, it was another impulsive decision made without any prior planning.
"Got it!"
A glint flashed in the girl's eyes, as if she had discovered a new continent.
"Make him cook all the food in the video for me! Consider it compensation for emotional distress!"
After saying that, March 7th looked smug, clearly very satisfied with his brilliant idea.
Danheng opened his mouth, wanting to tell Sanyueqi that he would also get fat that way.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he chose to keep quiet.
Ji Zi chuckled softly, glanced at Bai Luan first, and then said:
"It's like something Little March would do."
Dan Heng also noticed Bai Luan at this moment.
Who is this?
"Danheng, March 7th, my name is Bai Luan."
He nodded slightly.
"Consider yourself our temporary guide during your time on the space station."
"Wow!"
On March 7th, he exclaimed in surprise, turning to Danheng and saying:
"This wasn't there last time we came! Looks like we've been coming so often that the space station has even assigned us a personal guide!"
"Little March".
Himeko couldn't help but chuckle as she corrected him.
"Bai Luan is Ms. Black Tower's assistant, and is only temporarily acting as our guide."
"Huh? Is that so?"
March 7th scratched his head and chuckled.
I'm sorry.
Dan Heng also explained on behalf of March 7th:
"My friend meant no harm; she's always like this."
"Why do you make me sound like I'm usually a bit silly?"
"..."
Dan Heng naturally looked away, refusing to meet those accusing pink eyes.
Although the train trio isn't complete without the stars/sky, this flavor is definitely right.
Bai Luan smiled and said:
"If you want to find out about 'Yi Mu', I have some connections that can lead you directly to him."
"Huh? Really? What he looks like and who he is has always been a mystery."
"After all, I was once the stationmaster of this space station, so it's normal for me to know some secrets that others don't."
"Station...station chief?"
March 7th was clearly surprised to hear this; she hadn't expected Bai Luan to hold such a high position.
Wait, what did Himeko say Bai Luan's position was again?
Black Tower's assistant?
The assistant to that member of the genius club!?
That's incredible!
Did I just mistake such an important person for a guide?
"Um... I'm really sorry for mistaking you for my guide earlier."
Bai Luan waved his hand dismissively and said:
"It's alright. I'm about the same age as you, so don't be too reserved. Those achievements are nothing. I even envy you for being able to remain anonymous."
Upon hearing this, March 7th hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to ask something but didn't know whether she should speak.
"If you have any questions, just ask them."
"That's great! I'd like to ask, are the benefits at the Black Tower Space Station really that good? You're so young to be able to retire?"
hiss...
Even Bai Luan couldn't help but marvel at the peculiar thought process behind the March 7th question.
Seeing that Bai Luan did not answer immediately, March 7th asked worriedly:
Did I say something wrong?
"No."
Bai Luan smiled and shook his head, saying:
"I just never thought about this myself, and my situation doesn't really qualify as retirement."
"Not considered retirement?"
March 7th, with a gossipy look on his face, leaned over and asked:
"Then why didn't you become the stationmaster of the space station?"
"Because I've found a successor. Just like how Lady Black Tower handed this space station to me, I've handed it over to the current stationmaster, Estádio."
March 7th was clearly surprised by the truth and exclaimed:
"You truly are Miss Black Tower's assistant; your style is just like hers..."
Seeing that the three of them were getting along well, Himeko smiled and said:
"In that case, let Bai Luan take you to investigate that 'Yi Mu'. He should know more about the space station than we do."
I need to replenish the train's supplies, so I won't be joining you. I hope you have a great time.
After saying that, Himeko gave Bai Luan a meaningful look.
The answer lies in the puzzle.
It's really interesting to think about.
Himeko, having guessed Yimu's true identity, smiled slightly but chose not to expose him, waving goodbye to them.
He gazed at March 7's expectant, sparkling eyes, then glanced at Dan Heng beside him, who, though silent, had clearly acquiesced to the farce, and began to ponder.
How can I lead these two to find out who 'I' am?
Chapter 63 They'll never find me in their entire lives.
In the kitchen of the Black Tower space station, March 7 looked at all kinds of kitchen utensils.
"It really looks exactly like the kitchen in the video... I remember this pot, Yi Mu used it when he was cooking, and the fried rice he made made me so hungry."
Danheng picked up his phone, opened Yimu's video, and started playing it.
The voice of Inspiration Mushroom came from the video, and she began to read the script written by Bai Luan.
To be honest, it took me a lot of effort to edit out the "mushroom" verbal tic from the inspiration mushroom, but thankfully there was a editing tool to help me.
In the atmosphere of a detective investigation, Bai Luan, the mastermind behind it all, spoke up:
"He never showed his face in the video; the camera angles mostly focused on the ingredients, and his hands appeared most often."
"Now that you mention it, it's true. But Yi Mu's hands are very beautiful; you can't tell if they're male or female."
At this moment, Bai Luan said in a serious tone:
"Judging from her voice, this Yimu must be a woman with excellent craftsmanship. Her voice is ethereal and pleasant, and I think she is a young girl."
Dan Heng chimed in from the side:
"A girl from over nine hundred years ago?"
March 7th, on the other hand, held a supportive view:
"That's right, a beautiful girl will always be a beautiful girl, regardless of time!"
