Star Railway: I have told you, I am not Otto

"Ok?"

Xi'er immediately looked towards the door of the orphanage, and sure enough she saw the figure of a little guy there.

"What's the situation? Why would any child dare to break into the cracked world??"

Xi'er was startled for a moment, then immediately activated her Quantization skill and rushed towards the child.

Bronya followed closely behind. In any case, it was still too dangerous to let a child act in the rift.

Rushing to the gate of the orphanage, Xi'er grabbed the child's hand. After looking around and finding no world-splitting creatures, she said in a slightly angry tone:

"Why are you alone in the Split World? Who brought you here? Where is your family?"

"Wow! Big sister suddenly appeared, so amazing!"

It was a little girl with short light purple hair. She was not surprised at all when she saw Xier. Instead, she said very happily,

"I've always been here, right? As for my family...well, sister Natasha said that we can all call her mom to the outside world."

"You've been here all this time? What do you mean?"

Bronya had already arrived at this time. She explored the surroundings of the orphanage along the way and found no dangerous world-splitting creatures. She told Xier with her eyes that it was safe for the time being.

Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the little girl, and scolded:

"Do you know that it is very dangerous for a person to come to the world alone? It's a good thing that there are no creatures from the world around here, otherwise your situation will be bad."

"Well...what are you talking about, sister? Sister Natasha will protect us."

The little girl looked innocent, innocent and even a little stupid. When Xier asked her, the first half of her sentences were pretty good.

"You...hey, anyway, follow us to a safe place first."

Xi'er shook her head speechlessly, knowing that further questioning would only force the child to take her to a safe place first.

"Wait a minute, big sister, there is one more thing I haven't finished yet."

The little girl took Xier's hand and said,

"Just...can you take a photo for me?"

"Taking photos? I don't have a camera! Also, what time is it and you still have time to take photos?"

Xi'er fumbled around a lot. She usually only brought a sickle with her when she went out. She didn't have the habit of bringing a camera. After all, that thing was considered a rare item in the lower area.

"Uh...Xie'er, I think I have."

Bronya scratched her face in embarrassment, then took out a pink and white camera from her pocket.

"I snatched it...borrowed it from the person named March 7th before. Because I didn't know how to delete the photos in it, I kept it with me."

"Why are you still robbing other people's things? Give them back as soon as you have the chance."

"Well, I'm sorry... I'll give it back to March 7 after I try to delete the photos here again."

"That's alright, we've made a mistake this time."

Xi'er said, looking at the little girl again,

"I can take pictures of you, but you have to answer me first why I want to take pictures here. Is there any special significance?"

"Hehe~ Actually today is my birthday."

The little girl smiled and said,

"Originally, sister Natasha wanted to take a photo of me and send it to my parents so that they could see my changes."

When she said this, the little girl's tone became lost again and she said:

"But, I can't find Sister Natasha... You happened to be passing by, so I thought I could ask, hehe."

Xi'er frowned slightly as she listened to the little girl talking to Natasha. It seemed that after escorting the child out of the rift, she would need to go to Natasha and ask for details.

Bronya and Xi'er looked at each other, then looked at the little girl with a smile and said, "Then you pose, I'm going to take the photo."

"Okay! Thank you, big sister."

The little girl nodded happily and jumped up and down in front of Bronya's camera. She was very cute.

"Don't move, three two one...huh??"

Bronya pressed the shutter button of the camera towards the little girl, but was immediately stunned.

"Is the picture ready? Let me see it quickly."

The little girl came over happily and glanced at the camera in Bronya's hand.

"Eh? Why is there nothing in this photo?"

The little girl made a confused sound.

At this moment, Bronya had understood a little bit. She looked at the little girl, opened her mouth, swallowed a few times, and said,

"Sorry, my sister's photography skills are not very good...I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's okay."

After Bronya apologized one after another, the little girl scratched her head in embarrassment and said,

"I'll just ask someone to take a picture for me. Anyway, Ziyuan, thank you big sister!"

Under the astonished gazes of Bronya and Xi'er, the little girl who called herself "Purple Kite" left a bright smile on her face, and her body emitted a dim light that slowly dissipated in the streets of the world.

"..."

a long time.

Xi'er, who had understood everything, said with an extremely heavy heart,

"The spirits of the past... they are the afterimages left behind by the cracked world. They cannot be freed because their long-cherished wishes have failed. Provide them with help and they will dissipate..."

"I have encountered this phenomenon before in the upper area."

Bronya lowered her head, her tone trembling,

"Every time I am deceived by their extremely realistic appearance... It may not take a minute to help them, but the feeling of powerlessness and confusion is something I still can't resolve."

"That little girl, what did she say her name was?"

"She said... her name is Zi Yuan, and there will be afterimages appearing in the cracked world. I'm afraid, her true body has..."

"Stop, stop talking."

Xi'er stretched out her hand to indicate that she understood, lowered her head, sighed, and spoke again,

"I originally thought that you would go out with me to relax, but while we were relaxing, my mood didn't get better."

"I understand."

Bronya looked around, took the initiative to change the subject and said,

"Even now, this orphanage looks familiar to me."

"You're kidding me."

Xier did not dare to put too much thought on the spirit of the past, and followed Bronya's words and said,

"How come you, a young lady from an upper-class district, feel familiar with an orphanage in a lower-class district?"

"But this building and the children's play facilities here... I should have seen them before."

Bronya's brows furrowed, indicating that the spirits of the past had appeared strangely. With these familiar but vague facilities, there were quite a few strange things she encountered today.

"Are you trying to say that you were from the lower class before the blockade between the upper and lower classes decades ago?"

Xier said half-jokingly, then walked over and patted Bronya on the head.

"Hey, that's quite interesting. I heard you say that you seem to be some kind of acting guardian. Isn't that on the same level as Uncle Oleg?

The residents of the lower district counterattacked and became the Great Guardian. This story... Gee, even cool novels would not dare to write it like this. "

"I'm not sure yet...Anyway, let's take a closer look."
