Ruan Mei actually used the word "useless" to describe a fairy boat... It was probably because Fang Hu had been recuperating.
Unconsciously, although she thought she was independent and objective in her cognition, she also had some unconventional characteristics when it came to matters like revenge and war... How powerful was that ship?
【I think I understand.】
[End, I don't understand this at all! Shouldn't the people and the army be united in the face of Fengzao?] Sanyue's eyes began to roll.
[Because it is not a matter of life or death yet.]
After comparing many aspects, Cocolia concluded that Luofu's architecture was slightly better than Beloberg's, but only to a limited extent because it was the kingdom of the immortal species.
We can only help YaYa learn from these limited advantages.
[It is tighter than the systems of Liyue and Fontaine, but the control is not as strong as Inazuma. Each has its own advantages. ]
Liu Yun also made a sharp comment - he had no awareness at all that he was not only an immortal, but also had been out of touch with society for nearly fifty years.
While this group of people were discussing politics in the group, Yukong had already walked to the star map in the hall and started communicating with the other three heads of the department without avoiding them.
The "Six Imperial Ministers' Council" was convened in advance, with only four departments left to participate, which shows the embarrassment involved.
At the meeting, only the hologram of the Taibusi side was relatively solid. It could be clearly seen that the contemporary Taibu was a pink-haired woman who was well-dressed and dressed like a fairy from the sky.
The moment she emerged from the hologram, she looked towards the train. Her gaze lingered on Kong and Ruan Mei for a while, but she seemed not surprised by their appearance.
"It seems that the interference from the star core is getting more serious. I calculated that General Jingyuan's life is safe. The formation has not fallen yet. There is also a way to break the blockade of the villains, but each department must concentrate its strength. The evil creatures can attack the Shen Ce Palace. I am afraid that it cannot be taken down with the help of the Di Heng Department and a few Jin people."
"The reinforcements from the Tianbosi have already arrived. I only sent more than 800 people and a dozen warships to guard the star port. The rest have been sent out. We will try our best to attack the palace and retake the formation in one go to ensure the general's safety."
"Except for the judges sent to the Jade Realm Gate, all the judges will assist the Grand Diviner... The process of the interrogation is very strange. The secret of the King of Medicine suddenly spread, and the followers of the Jinmiehuozu appeared, allowing the villains to spread from the Danding Division to the mansion. I think they are all connected. I personally think that the Legion and the Fengrao people may be in cahoots with each other."
"It's possible, but we must focus on opening the door. Helmsman, would you like to introduce the distinguished guest behind you?"
The pink-haired, golden-eyed, very cute yet slightly arrogant girl turned toward the train set and smiled at Sora.
[Good, what a lovely girl——Oh, no, no, she just looks young, right? After all, she is a high-ranking official of the Immortal Boat...]
Because of the similar fur color, Sanyue couldn't help comparing the Taibu in front of him with himself. After looking at it for a long time, he fell on its chest, and the inexplicable desire to compare was subtly satisfied.
"Did the emperor predict that the distinguished guest would postpone his visit?" Yukong had no choice but to move aside so that the directors could see them more directly.
"Of course. Lord Panshi has been kind to me, and his messenger should have been treated well. If it weren't for the last hexagram to be divinated in the Qiongguan formation, and Luofu's failure... You two, how did the star core bypass all the hexagrams and sneak into Luofu? Can you explain this to me?"
The young girl Taibu walked forward a few steps, and when they got closer, everyone realized that she was almost shorter than Silver Wolf, and she was relying on the hairpin on her head to create false height.
If she hadn't appeared in the star chart, who would have thought that she was the head of a department?
However, she seemed to be quite concerned about her appearance - on the one hand, she maintained her dignity, on the other hand, she showed a smile that she thought she was confident, and on the other hand, she asked questions that no one present could answer.
I know nothing! I just got here too!
Sora almost rolled his eyes.
This girl is really pretty - bright eyes, upturned lips, fair skin, beautiful face, soft shoulders, and a heart-protecting mirror-shaped hexagram plate that makes the slightly unpleasant parts not so barren. The long white socks with floral decorations and gold hanging on them have a faint sheen at the ankles. It can be said that she knows where the most attractive parts of her body are and has deliberately enhanced them -
She was a bit arrogant towards the people around her, but she lowered her attitude to look Sora in the eye. She was indeed one of the most beautiful girls of the clear level that Sora had ever seen.
But it just gave him the feeling that it was easy to fool.
"I'm sorry, we have shared with you all the information that the Star Core Hunter told us. Beyond that, we are also confused."
Not afraid of losing face in front of a beautiful woman, just spread out your hands like a bachelor -
This was not a manifestation of not seizing the other party's innate goodwill, and it might also be related to the fact that after Shen He saw the red rope elements on Fu Xuan's clothes, she subconsciously lowered her head to compare them with the "battle suit" cut for her by her mentor.
"Even you can't predict it. It seems that this time there is more than one enemy... I have another question. Doctor Kong, how can you call yourself a wandering envoy?"
She saw Lao Yang and Sanyue behind Kong frowning slightly, and then stopped talking.
"... I'm sorry for my words. Since you are willing to help Luofu, I would like to ask you to cooperate with the fortune tellers to figure out how to break the seal of Shen Ce Mansion--"
"Master, you...?" The one who cared most about face among them was the one who was most willing to lose face this time, which surprised Yukong a little and he even saved the trouble of her introduction.
"Captain, although the train crew is very powerful, the efficiency of 'opening the door' is the most important. The sooner we can get back in touch with the general, the sooner we can restore order on the ship. It would be an insult to Ms. Ruan Mei and Dr. Kong to use their talents to dispel evil."
Fu Xuan just exchanged glances with Yukong for a few seconds to reinforce his recommendation, but immediately shifted his gaze back to Kong, as if he was some kind of hot commodity - the curiosity in his golden eyes and the undisguised affection made the slow-witted Shen He look sideways.
[Have you seen this girl before? ]
[No, she is a fortune teller. Fortune tellers are all somewhat supernatural. Maybe she has seen through me inside and out before I even met her.]
[Are you alluding to Mona? ]
【No way.】
[But even their arrogant behavior is 70% similar...]
"Besides, when the blockade is lifted... we need to divine at a closer distance. If there is an evil creature invading, the guests can also help."
Fu Xuan couldn't hear the arrangement of her in the frequency band, and was still talking to other superiors about the role that the train set could play, as if it had been decided long ago and they had to get involved.
“……” Yukong’s expression became more and more subtle.
There's something wrong with Taibu today.
It was as if she suddenly had a bright mind - it's not that she is usually not smart, but the way she spoke today was not as direct as usual, and she also gave up a lot of unnecessary steps of "showing off how awesome she is", and instead kept praising others.
Is this golden retriever your brother who is living away from home? Or did divination predict that he will be your companion in the future?
342. Benefactor~
"Tai Bu, I haven't asked for the opinions of the distinguished guests yet."
"Fu has overstepped his authority. Dr. Kong, Ms. Ruan Mei, what do you think?"
It was only after the Director of the Land Horizontal Administration reminded Fu Xuan that she stopped daydreaming about a beautiful future that only she could see.
However, her calm attitude gave reassurance to all the Xianzhou people present. The fortune teller might miss something, but he would generally not make mistakes. She praised the train so much, so it seemed that with them in her deduction, Luofu's fortune would be turned around.
"Let's follow Taibu's arrangement. The hunter's guidance ends here. We are aimless in the Immortal Boat and have no place to use our strength."
Kong was not teasing Silver Wolf, but was complaining about Elio, the guy who often did not give key information. In comparison, the Taibu in front of him was more honest.
"That's great. I would like to ask you to help Luofu recover and crack the talisman. With the help of these two geniuses, we will definitely be able to catch the Medicine King's Secret Rat Tail. They were instructed by a master to scatter the sealing talismans everywhere, making them difficult to shut down."
"Ah? What kind of sealing talisman?"
March Alan listened to these fairy boat-specific words with a confused look on his face. Even the synesthesia beacon could not translate their complete meaning.
"It probably refers to the scattered barrier keys. In addition to the gate of Shen Ce Mansion being controlled from the inside, the group of rich 'spies' also added a layer of repulsion field or something like that on the outside. We have to catch all those guys holding the code before we can close it."
"Ahem, Dr. Kong made it sound simple and easy to understand, but that seal is not something that can be broken by brute force like a shield, otherwise the Cloud Riders would have broken in long ago."
Fu Xuan cleared his throat, seeming a little embarrassed by Kong's plain words that destroyed his "mystery".
"To put it simply, it is a radiation field specially created by the Fengcuo people. Its generator is hidden inside the mansion and cannot be shut down from the outside."
Yukong took over the conversation.
"Radiation field?"
"It is a radiation field specially designed to deal with the local residents of Luofu, such as the Xianzhou people, the Chiming people, and the fox people. It is mixed with poisonous gases and poisons. The armor of the Cloud Cavalry Army cannot filter it, cannot identify it, and cannot shield it from radiation. As long as a soldier enters the range, he will quickly fall into the devil's Yin or accelerate his transformation. The fox tribe will be less affected, but their limbs will be powerless and they will be slaughtered. We have tried many ways to disperse it, but the blessing of abundance makes it like a thorn in the bone, and it is not afraid of any radiation or disinfection equipment."
"'Genetic missile' plus dirty bomb? That's a bit disgusting." Kong couldn't help but frown after hearing the vicious arrangement.
"Is this so cruel? A biological weapon attack...?"
"For the people of Fengcuo, such vicious schemes are commonplace."
It is not clear whether the Ten Kings or the King of Hell should be called the Ten Kings. The man and woman debating in a male-female debate had a hateful tone in their voice.
"But all of you, except Ms. Ruan Mei, have not been genetically targeted by the poison and can pass through the miasma with simple protection. As long as you obtain the talisman, the poison formation can be easily resolved."
...Yu Yun, who was ignored, didn't dare to say a word.
"Rofu wants us to act as scouts? No, that's already considered a job for special operations personnel—"
Old Yang kowtowed his cane knowingly, and Ruan Mei followed his solemnity and glanced at Sanyue, as if she was afraid that the overly honest youngsters on the train would be tricked into working for a small price:
"We can also help in hunting down the followers of Abundance, but we would like to ask the Grand Master to put more effort into gathering intelligence so that we don't come up empty-handed. As for the other people who mentioned the Judge, we would like to ask the Ten Kings to assist us."
"……Can."
The shadow sitting across the table from Fu Xuan nodded, as if after some hesitation he agreed to Ruan Mei's secret additional request.
[I have asked for the "favor" of the Ten Kings for you. This is a very precious resource and must be used properly.]
Ruan Mei raised her eyes slightly, but took credit for it with Kong in the private channel, and she actually sounded quite happy.
[Why do you ask for the judge's help alone? Is there any explanation? ]
[The Ten Kings are in charge of life and death, and their status is higher than that of the Cloud Cavalry when it comes to handling internal affairs. If Luofu was not in danger, they would not be willing to owe a favor.]
[…Don’t you fully understand the secret of interpersonal communication? ]
[Knowing does not mean you must follow. Dr. Kong, if we think too much about human relationships, it will only make us oblivious. In the Black Tower, Esta helps her deal with it, but here, we can only fight for resources ourselves.]
Just as Kong was about to praise her, he heard her add: "Also, if we cross the line by collecting demonic Yin samples or secretly keeping evil things for research, they won't be able to get angry with this favor. We have calculated it all."
[…As expected of you. ]
Kong accepted it with a pinch of his nose. It seemed that there was still a long way to go to make her become more "normal".
"It is not a good idea to let our guests take risks in such a deep area. The Cloud Cavalry in the palace is strong and should have already forced the evil creature into the formation. However, they are worried about the losses and have not launched a large-scale attack. Once the poison dissipates, the internal and external armies will cooperate and immediately control the evil creature."
The boss of Di Heng saw Kong flirting with Ruan Mei and thought it was time to bargain, so he smiled apologetically.
I don’t know what kind of work he does on a daily basis or who he meets, but he was able to adjust himself to a state of asking others for favors so quickly.
"I have predicted that the talisman formation has three points, and I have clues about the whereabouts of the three villains holding the talismans. Please move to Changletian. In addition to the divination of my department, there are also judges from the Ten Kings Department chasing the Medicine King's secret near Changletian, which is just the right place to fulfill our sincerity."
Fu Xuan closed her eyes, and strangely, the "third eye" on her forehead seemed to still be staring at the sky, exuding an inexplicable emotion of trust.
"Two of them have already revealed their true colors and can be taken into custody immediately, but there is still one person that I am not sure about, so I need you to go and find out the truth."
"...Could it be that the one causing the trouble is one of your own?"
After all, Kong was an old fox who had stepped on countless shit pits. When he heard such a familiar and embarrassing statement, he immediately became alert.
"Fu has calculated that he is highly suspected, but calculation does not mean there is evidence. It has been five hundred years since the arrest of someone in a high position in the Six Imperials."
With the information now disclosed to this extent, Sora gave the answer based on his intuition:
"From the Dan Ding Division? Escaped from the alchemy cave?"
“…Exactly.”
