Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 275 A Meeting That Will Go Down in History

The holy city of Ohmma.

At the city gate.

Several Holy City guards, clad in golden protective gear, stood tall and straight at the entrance, patrolling the pedestrians passing by.

Their duty was to guard the city gates, ensure the order of entry and exit for the city's residents, and protect the safety of the holy city.

Sudden.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening roar, like muffled thunder, rolled in from afar, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The next second, three earth beasts, each as large as a mountain, came rushing in from afar, their thick limbs kicking up dust with each rise and fall.

Seeing this, the head guard captain seemed unfazed and immediately raised his voice, shouting loudly to those around him:

"The earth beasts of the Holy City are returning! Anyone still in the passageway, please quickly move to the sides of the road to avoid being trampled and injured!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pedestrians on the road scattered to both sides in a hurry, like a herd of startled deer.

Before long, the middle section of the wide avenue leading to the city gate was suddenly cleared out.

Lin Qiong sat on the back of one of the earth beasts, his gaze sweeping across both sides of the road, where many city residents were gathered.

They were gathered in small groups, talking amongst themselves and glancing around, as if they were used to the scene before them.

With the earth beasts running unimpeded, Lin Qiong and his group quickly passed through the path cleared by the crowd and arrived at the foot of the city gate.

"Welcome back to Ohmma! You must be tired from your journey!"

Upon arriving at their destination, Lin Qiong flipped off the back of the Earth Beast. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he heard a familiar child's voice coming from above.

He turned his head and saw Tibo slowly descending from the sky to the ground.

It seemed that the other party had obviously received news of their return and had come to the city gate to welcome them.

Tibo's gaze swept quickly across Lin Qiong's group, then suddenly stopped at the end of the line.

There, a giant earth beast carried a large block of solid ice on its back, while a white-haired man stood beside it.

"Huh?" Tibo's voice carried a hint of surprise. "Another newbie?"

Hearing this, Lin Qiong followed her gaze.

Kevin was controlling the dual-gun form of the Heavenly Judgment, making the muzzle emit warm orange rays that evenly baked the solid ice on the back of the Earth Beast.

The ice sizzled as it was licked by the flames, eventually melting into clear water that slid down the back of the earth beast to the ground.

Seeing the slight doubt in Tibo's eyes, Lin Qiong thought she might have misunderstood and mistaken Kevin for Bai E.

So he quickly explained it to him:

"I forgot to introduce you, that's Kevin, he also comes from a world outside Onpharos."

“He came from outer space…” Tibo tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over Kevin for a moment. “His temperament is completely different from Little White’s… but they look like twins!”

"Yes, it's amazing, isn't it!" Lin Qiong exclaimed softly.

When he first met Bai Er, he was also shocked by the face that bore a striking resemblance to Kevin's.

If it weren't for Bai Er's cheerful and humorous personality, and Kevin's impression of always having a cold and aloof face, he would have almost mistaken him for someone else.

Just as Lin Qiong was lost in thought, a familiar voice drifted from the direction of the city gate.

"Teacher Tibo, Qiong, what are you two chatting about instead of going into town?"

The two turned around at the sound and saw Bai E waving and walking towards them.

But before he had taken more than a few steps, Bai Er suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on Kevin not far away, and he exclaimed softly:

"...That is!?"

Meanwhile, Kevin had already completely melted the layer of ice on the Earth Beast's back and was strolling towards Lin Qiong.

The moment his eyes met Bai E's, his blue pupils contracted almost imperceptibly for a second, but he still did not stop moving his feet.

As the distance between them continued to close, Lin Qiong's heart suddenly raced.

He already sensed that this was a meeting that would go down in history!

When the two were only one person apart, Kevin and Bai Er stopped at the same time.

In that instant, time stretched out countless times, and everything around seemed to be frozen in time.

Bai Er raised his head slightly, his face full of astonishment. He looked at Kevin as if he were staring into a mirror.

The person reflected in the mirror had almost the same appearance as Bai E.

"Am I...looking in a mirror?"

Bai E wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and broke the brief silence with his voice.

He turned to look at Lin Qiong, who was trying not to laugh, then at Tibao, who was excitedly observing the two of them, and couldn't help but speak again:

"Could you two... please explain the current situation to me?"

"Cough cough, no problem."

Lin Qiong coughed twice, forcibly swallowing back his laughter, and then began to ramble on with a straight face, "The thing is..."

"We found your twin... no, triplets over at the treehouse!"

"Although one of them refused to come back with us and ran away on his own, the one standing in front of you was successfully brought back by us."

"So, how about it? Brothers reunited, aren't you moved?"

As they spoke, Lin Qiong kept glancing sideways at Kevin, trying to gauge whether to continue this absurd story by observing the changes in Kevin's expression.

But from beginning to end, Kevin's face remained expressionless, maintaining his cold demeanor as if he didn't care about Lin Qiong's joke.

Instead, Kevin nodded slightly and coldly uttered a few words:

"Hmm...it does look very similar."

Upon hearing this, Bai E was stunned for a moment, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

It seemed as if they were genuinely weighing the veracity of Lin Qiong's words.

Just then, Tibo stepped in to smooth things over, interrupting Lin Qiong's nonsense:

"Hey, Little Gray, stop teasing Little White!"

Seeing this, Lin Qiong spread his hands, put on an "I'm super innocent" look, and said:

"It's a misunderstanding. I just saw Bai E had a long face, so I was going to make a little joke to lighten the mood."

Moreover, although he said it in a joking manner, it was basically the truth.

At the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court, besides Kevin, there was indeed another guy who looked extremely similar to Bai E.

"Were you still found out?"

Bai E snapped out of her daze, belatedly forcing a smile, "I thought I was smiling the same as usual..."

"A forced smile and a genuine smile are easily distinguishable."

Lin Qiong crossed his arms and looked at Bai E's face. "So... what happened?"

"It's nothing, just some tricky problems."

Bai E shook his head slightly, his head drooping, his tone becoming low and negative.

Seeing this, Lin Qiong frowned slightly, then turned his gaze to Tibao.

He figured that since Tibo was called "teacher" by Bai Er, she must know something.
