The Stomper vanished into points of light, but before it disappeared, it summoned countless Void Rangers into this enclosed room.
After landing, Kiana looked at her hands and lightly clenched them.
"This body isn't bad; it can exert this young miss's current..."
Whoosh—
Kiana trailed off, tilting her head slightly as an arrow grazed past her ear in a thrilling manner. Then, she seemingly casually swung the bat to her side.
Thump—
An invisible Void Ranger was sent flying by a single blow.
"...power."
Kiana's figure vanished, and countless explosions sounded in the room simultaneously. Then, Kiana reappeared beside March 7th, clapping her hands easily.
"Done!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the bodies of the Void Rangers throughout the room were covered in cracks, vanishing into points of light.
Only scattered parts from the Void Rangers remained on the ground.
"..."
Dan Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, frowning as he gave Kiana a deep look.
He began to suspect this person's identity. Collapsed in such a hidden room, yet possessing such skill... just who was she?
March 7th, however, didn't have so many extra thoughts. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Kiana, full of excitement.
"I didn't expect you to be so amazing!"
March 7th seemed to have already forgotten the awkward scene that had just occurred.
Kiana's eyes shifted slightly, and with a mischievous smile, she pinched March 7th's chin and leaned into her ear.
"Don't fall in love with me now~"
After saying that, she immediately returned control of the body to Stelle, leaving Stelle momentarily stunned.
"I say, would you believe me if I told you it was an old lady inside my body who just teased you?"
Stelle silently lowered her hand and then placed it on the blushing March 7th's shoulder with a very serious expression.
Hidden inside Stelle, Kiana raised an eyebrow at the comment and then floated out of Stelle's body.
"Take a good look. Where does this young miss look like an old lady?"
Kiana instinctively wanted to smack the other's head, but her hand passed right through, looking very eerie.
March 7th watched this scene with a blank stare, her eyes gradually widening until she finally screamed and hid behind Dan Heng.
"Aaah! Dan-Dan-Dan Heng! There's-there's-there's a ghost!!!"
Kiana's somewhat illusory and transparent floating body, combined with her inability to touch solid objects, fit the description of a ghost perfectly!
"Ghost?"
Kiana looked at the terrified March 7th, then pointed at her own face in bewilderment and exclaimed in confusion:
"Me?!"
"Is there a ghost as good-looking as me?!"
"Why don't you take a good look at my face before deciding to be scared!"
"How can this girl be so reckless!"
"Pity, if she weren't a ghost, I could have poked her..."
???
Kiana turned her head to look at Stelle, who had just said something shocking, her head full of question marks.
Good grief, she suspected she had entered a Bureau of Eccentrics; these future teammates all seemed like Alternates.
"..."
Dan Heng glanced at the trembling March 7th behind him, sighed softly, and then nodded to Kiana with a slight apology:
"Sorry, March didn't mean any harm..."
She's just a bit afraid of ghosts... It was also the first time Dan Heng knew March was afraid of ghosts.
Although he couldn't feel Kiana's aura, that state indeed matched that of an energetic soul body.
An existence similar to the Suiyang?
"It's fine, I know..."
Kiana waved her hand, indicating she didn't care too much.
After a while, March 7th poked half a head out from behind Dan Heng and looked at Kiana. Seeing that she didn't have the hostility of an evil spirit, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sor... sorry, that was just an instinctive reaction..."
March 7th said, her face a bit red.
"No..."
A glint of mischief flashed in Kiana's eyes, and she floated over to March 7th's side, saying eerily:
"Give me a kiss and I'll forgive you, otherwise I'll scratch at your door tonight to scare you... and blow cold air in your ear..."
"I... I'll kiss you, okay...!"
The more March 7th thought about it, the scarier it got, so she quickly agreed.
Wow, I could trick this girl at least twenty times in one night... Kiana looked at her with an expression of surprise.
"We should go. We've wasted quite a bit of time here..."
Dan Heng couldn't take it anymore and spoke up to rescue the embarrassed March 7th, then left the room after giving Kiana a meaningful glance.
March 7th also snapped out of it and looked at Stelle and... Kiana.
"You two should come along as well. The situation is special right now, and it's always better to have more people together."
"You're actually quite a nice person."
Stelle scratched her head and grinned.
Kiana also nodded and then slipped into March 7th's body.
"Wh... where did you go?!"
March 7th repeatedly checked her body with a look of horror, trying to find Kiana.
But unfortunately, she couldn't discover where Kiana was hiding at all.
"Stop looking, I'm just lodging in your body for a bit~"
"You really are a ghost..."
March 7th's lips trembled as she heard this.
But at the same time, a sliver of sympathy rose in her heart. To die so young, sigh... Thinking this, March 7th gradually became less afraid of Kiana.
Then March 7th, with Stelle, followed Dan Heng towards the elevator.
Dan Heng suggested returning to the Master Control Zone first to meet up with the Acting Station Master, Asta.
Moreover, the Astral Express was parked at the Platform of the Supply Zone near the Master Control Zone. Once they met up with their companions there, they could figure out how to solve the Antimatter Legion's invasion of the Herta Space Station.
During their journey, through conversation, March 7th and Dan Heng also got to know Kiana and Stelle.
But they only knew their names; Stelle said she remembered nothing except her name.
Kiana's story was even more pitiful; she tricked them by saying her hometown was destroyed in a disaster, and she lost her life because of it.
But for some reason, she was now surviving as a soul body.
After hearing Kiana's fabricated story, March 7th's eyes were red, and she no longer resisted Kiana living in her body.
Seeing March 7th's empathetic and sad appearance, Kiana opened her mouth but hesitated.
A sliver of guilt rose in Kiana's heart; she shouldn't have made up stories.
This girl actually believed it... Look at Dan Heng... well, Dan Heng seemed half-convinced as well.
I'll tell them the truth after we get on the train... Kiana decided in her heart.
The group soon arrived at the elevator.
March 7th placed her hand on the control panel, but after waiting a moment, there was no response.
"Sigh... I knew it..."
March 7th put her hands on her hips and sighed, looking down.
"Did you break it?"
Behind her, Stelle crossed her arms, pinched her chin, and tilted her head.
"What do you mean I broke it? It must have been the Antimatter Legion...!"
"I guarantee it wasn't March, because she's cute in a clumsy way!"
"Hey...!"
March 7th put her hands on her hips and pouted at her chest, her brow furrowed in unhappiness.
Seeing that Kiana had gone quiet, March 7th looked at the calm Dan Heng, who had his arms crossed.
"All-powerful Teacher Dan Heng, you must have a way to fix the elevator, right?"
"I don't."
Dan Heng answered very decisively.
"Huh? Then how are we going to get up..."
March 7th's face fell.
Kiana thought for a moment and remembered that in the plot, Asta should have given March 7th a clearance card.
"March..."
"In that case, let's go find the target Asta commissioned us to find first; maybe he'll know."
Before Kiana could finish, Dan Heng made his suggestion.
(Not completely following the original plot, there will be slight differences.)
