Even though Ruan Mei strongly recommended it, he still didn't really want the favors from the Ten Kings Division, and the case handling privileges didn't apply to him:
"...I feel a little hungry all of a sudden. I want to go eat something good."
"Eat something...good?"
Seeing Dan Shu's eyes move towards him quite naturally, Ting Yun, who was almost frightened to death, was stunned. Then, as he stared at Kong's back, joy and inexplicable admiration slowly revealed in his eyes.
"Yes, what the brother just said still counts. I want to eat some food that can help prolong life. Can you recommend a good place for me?"
"Hmm... maybe the snacks from Golden Man Lane can satisfy your taste?"
Dan Shu glanced at the man in front of him with complicated expressions, then looked at Tingyun deeply, and then jumped towards Jianmu without hesitation!
"Ah!! Someone jumped!!"
The card players who were not "extras" were frightened and screamed when they saw Dan Shu jump over the railing.
There is a transmission connection between the seams of the caves, which can achieve "infinite falling". But it is different below Changle Heaven. There must be a gravity damper around the railing to prevent people from falling down after drinking too much. Jianmu can be seen in the north of this place. Below is the real land and the town where the Chiming people live. Falling thousands of meters can really kill people. Dan Shu's jump was too far and he jumped out of the protection range of the damper.
Now Di Heng and the judges... will have to show up even if they don’t want to.
"...Why didn't Mr. Kong stop her?"
The eyes of the judge with the "dead face" finally looked more like dead fish, and her words had a little more fluctuation - the expression on the face of the underworld messenger who rushed over with her was more interesting than hers.
"Ah? Are you asking me, big sister?"
Sora pretended to be confused and puzzled.
"Didn't the soothsayer say that as long as we get the talisman, it will be enough? If I use force, what will I do if this dangerous person hurts my female companion?"
"…Sorry. We were inconsiderate."
Sora didn't seem to express his dissatisfaction, but after hearing the unsatisfactory remarks, Jackdaw was unable to hold back for a long time, and could only bow his head and admit his fault to him.
349. I will help you tie the red string
On time, according to the calculations of the Qiongguan Formation, Fu Xuan walked to Ruomuting along the seam on the platform of Changletian Pedestrian Street seamlessly. However, she got a result that was completely different from what she expected.
This caused her expression to change several times, and she vented the pressure accumulated from days of divination by questioning Jackdaw:
"Didn't I say that I would fully cooperate with Mr. Kong? How could I let someone jump?"
"...The Ten Kings have issued an order to lure out the snake from its hole and arrest the villains who secretly supported Dan Shu. So we prepared the immortal rope and waited for him - but Mr. Kong healed Dan Shu's eyes..." A ghost messenger hesitated.
"…Even if she has four pairs of eyes, what can she do? She is so timid. The Karma Hall has so many methods. Can't they just arrest her and then interrogate her?"
"The other party is 4 meticulous in his actions. We are worried that the rumor leader has a way to cut off his memory, or that the person who secretly sponsored ⒊ has a backup plan and can erase his own traces."
"...Neither the Riddler nor the Incinerator had any part in this, I'm sure of that - stop making excuses."
Hearing the underworld messenger's remarks, who didn't understand the situation clearly, Fu Xuan was really anxious.
If she offended Kong and made him keep a distance from Luofu, all the bad divinations she had predicted would probably come true.
She thought that the Ten Kings were too arrogant and couldn't lower themselves to a lower level, but the Hades messengers and the plainclothes officers felt aggrieved because Kong's remarks just now did not show any hostility towards abundance. Instead, it gave people the feeling that he was the genuine envoy of abundance, which was confusing.
In fact, they were right to wonder in their hearts... the seeds in Kong's body were the real blessing of the King of Medicine, and he either hinted at it or indicated it explicitly, and even helped Dan Shu escape, and everyone saw it.
"... You missed the opportunity and caused Mr. Kong to be separated from the Immortal Boat. I heard that you also revealed the purpose of his trip to the secret informant, so that Danshu could be prepared. Judge Jackdaw! I will report you to the Ten Kings!"
"Taibu, this is a direct order from the Ten Kings."
Fu Xuan's almost jumping appearance made the train crew look sideways frequently, but because Kong was still in the pavilion, pinching the talisman and thinking about something, no one disturbed him, and no one planned to leave this dangerous place for the time being -
"What's wrong with them? Why are they suddenly fighting among themselves?" Little Sanyue looked at Uncle Yang with a puzzled look, hoping that the omnipotent Uncle Yang could explain it.
"...playing the good cop and the bad cop at this time?"
"No, that kid looked a lot like Duckling when he was angry. His face turned red."
Er Laoyang thought too much, but Cocolia could tell at a glance that Fu Xuan was not pretending - even though the other party was more than ten times her age, he was less cunning.
"There must have been some mistakes during the division of labor. It seems that General Luofu is indeed an indispensable coordinator."
Four: "…What should we do now? Should I call Kong over to play another round with you guys?"
0 Paimeng raised her index finger. Although she was very tempted to hear that they were going to Jinren Lane to eat, looking at the current atmosphere, if Kong left, it would be difficult for the Ten Kings and Diheng to get in touch with him again.
si "Friend Paimeng, even I don't think this is a good time to play cards."
3 Although the bluebird was ignored, seeing his boss getting anxious about the jackdaw but unable to utter a single dirty word, he just wanted to minimize his own presence to avoid being dragged into it.
"...I feel like Sora is being indifferent to them. Uncle Yang, should we just retreat and not get involved?"
㈥ "No, the captain will help you to the end - but if Juouji doesn't make amends, it will be difficult for us to communicate in the future."
4 "How long have you known him, Mr. Walter?" After hearing his confident statement, Ruan Mei actually became a little interested in this boring trivia.
"I think it's been about... 80 years. I heard some rumors about him before I was adopted."
"Wow, could it be that, Uncle Yang, you are not as old as him?"
Isn't it because you, Xiao Sanyue, saw the handsome guy couldn't walk, and subconsciously ignored the captain's actual age? He never concealed that he was an old man.
Old Yang sighed and pushed up his glasses: "Let's go around again. The captain should still talk to Taibu about something."
"Hehe, has Mr. Yang also had his 'Jade Spirit' awakened?"
"…What I'm concerned about is that there's a girl who's been secretly observing the captain. Let's fight her first. I'll counter-locate her and confirm her identity."
Sam hid the light when he landed, but he couldn't escape Lao Yang's insight after taking off his armor.
Because after she saw Kong let Dan Shu run away and let Shi Wangsi suffer a setback... she clenched her fist and waved it in relief. If they weren't acquaintances, she wouldn't be so reckless.
“Oh, oh oh——?”
"Don't look her in the eye, she's very sharp...get rich."
……
"...Huh, has anyone been sent to check the location where Dan Shu fell?"
Seeing that Qiong Yu was arguing fiercely with the train crew and showed no signs of leaving, Fu Xuan, who was very tongue-tied and could not think of any insulting words to use against the Ten Kings and the Judge, finally calmed down completely.
After all, she was the servant of the Immortal Boat Master Si Taolue. Seeing that Kong did not leave the pavilion, although he ignored the Hades messengers, he frowned slightly while holding the talisman. She immediately realized that he was still helping to crack the secret key and also giving her and the others a way out. Every step was full of deep meaning, so she did not waste any more time.
2. "Chi Ming's external editor Di Heng's personnel have already checked below, but no body was found. She must have some means of moving in the air, after all, she is the leader."
⒐ "The person is missing? Wait... It's a good plan! He left a mark on Dan Shu, this is the real way to lure the snake out of its hole... You, don't worry about what the Ten Kings say now. As the highest officer on the scene, I order you to go to Jinren Lane to pack enough takeout for everyone on the train. I want the best, and an equal amount of taro paste Bobo. There can't be any mistakes, right?"
Si Fuxuan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly ordered the dull judge to take orders.
Zero: “…I’ll go right away.”
Asking the judge to buy takeout has completely disregarded work efficiency... This is an attitude.
San, who had been using the orders from above as an excuse, stole a few glances at the jackdaw that was staring at the sky in the clouds, staring at everything Jianmu was thinking about, and nodded to Taiblisho.
⑤ If her sister hadn’t been out of touch, she would have looked a little happy while running errands——
⒍When the mixture was injected into Dan Shu just now, she hadn’t reacted yet and thought it was aiding the enemy. But after being scolded by Taibu, she now came to her senses and admired the "insidious" nature of the seemingly sunny man.
From beginning to end, he did not tell a single lie, whether to the enemy or to his own people, but he achieved his goal and also gave Shi Wangsi a blow.
"...You've already become a judge, how come you don't know how to act nice? Or did you drink too much soup... You need me to remind you."
Fu Xuan complained a few words, adjusted his hairpin, cleared his throat, tried his best to look more dignified than before he lost his temper, and went to the pavilion.
Compared to her in the hologram, she was cuter in real life. There were Dharma eyes on her smooth forehead, as if three eyes were staring at the sky at the same time. And maybe it was because of the real heat and the fragrant breath floating over, but she also exuded a kind of... "sexiness" that should be difficult to create with this height and appearance.
"I have arrived as promised. I am sorry that my unruly colleague has troubled you—"
Compared to a certain hacker who made a fuss as soon as he "sat down", Fu Xuan's makeup, tone of voice, and demeanor were all more sophisticated. She was fragrant and soft, and judging from the surface, she perfectly interpreted the fundamentalist concept of "beautiful girl", and even lost a lot of her arrogance. It was hard to say whether she was like this in private or only to Kong.
"Nothing, we'll go to Shen Ce Cave Heaven after the data is solved here."
Kong didn't put on airs with Fu Xuan. He gestured for her to sit on the railing, and then continued to answer Shen He's questions.
She had similar doubts to Jackdaw, but her starting point was more violent:
"Although she has a small amount of karma, it is not something that ordinary people have. I could have crushed her shoulders and cured her just now - why should I heal her?"
"If there really is a Grand Lord causing trouble, let her move freely and lure her out. As long as we have the coordinates, the Luofu officials will not be able to capture even a person who cannot perform a single-soldier space jump."
While Kong was speaking to Shen He, he was also explaining it to Fu Xuan, causing Fu Xuan to smile confidently, as if "as expected" and "everything is within my calculations", as if it was a very happy thing for him to be able to communicate with Kong.
"...The Luofu people should settle the score with her - we just need to ensure that the talisman is effective and get the general and the hunter out. On the hunting boat, we don't need to act as heroes on behalf of the locals. Shen He, it's not that I feel sorry for Dan Shu, curing her does not conflict with letting her enter the Karma Palace. She will definitely not be able to escape in the end - there is no need for us to be involved in the karma of killing her."
"Oh." Shen He responded coldly, looking confused, but Fu Xuan understood completely:
Perhaps this is the pattern - she felt a kind of "righteousness" from Kong that was different from General Jingyuan, and Kong's ideas made her more comfortable than Jingyuan's.
It was a pity that she couldn't explain to her colleagues...the bright future she had predicted was caused by the sky driving Luofu's flight path, and she played a crucial role in it - it was a bit embarrassing to say this, as if she was flattering herself.
"Miss Fu Xuan, I have made some magic tricks to help you find the murderer. There is another thing you need to pay attention to - have you arrested the criminals you just met at the pawnshop?"
Compared to her disciple's violence, Liu Yun was not honest to the end - she guessed what Kong meant when she saw him take out the potion, and left a seal in it. She handed the tracker to Fu Xuan without Kong's private reminder, which was also a way for the Luofu officials to save face.
"Don't worry, Immortal. That person has been brought to justice. I have calculated everything - Dan Shu has abandoned all her subordinates in Changletian. She must have fled to Huixing Port alone... Eh?"
Just as Fu Xuan bowed to Liu Yun and took over the locator that looked like a wooden tablet, a strange song suddenly sang in the air:
"Cicada, where are you from?"
Taibu was startled by the strange melody.
This tune had a strange alluring power when sung by Kong. Coupled with the fact that his eyes instantly turned blue, it was still more oppressive than those of the most powerful evil creatures. No wonder the underworld officials were a little wary of him.
"The secret key is a cicada song... The one who passed on the secret really has a great obsession with regaining an immortal body."
The life span of a cicada is so short - but compared to a mayfly, isn’t it also “long-lived”?
Is this self-mockery, or is it looking down on "bugs" whose lives are shorter than their own? Maybe both, which perfectly reflects the abnormal and double-standard mental state of the Fengrao people.
The outbreak of the evil spirit body can drive even the most virtuous and gentle women crazy and attack the people they love around them. Most of the people on the immortal boat with normal moral values would rather die themselves and be turned into a box by the Ten Kings than harm their relatives and friends.
But in the eyes of the secret transmission, eternal life after madness is a kind of evolution, a kind of transcendence. This is already a never-ending conflict of ideas.
It was out of respect for the self-sacrifice of the Immortal Boat people, their sacrifice of eternal life, and the philosophy of the Ten Kings Division that Kong did not walk away when Silver Wolf told him that the Ten Kings were plotting against him. In addition, Fu Xuan was a little nervous, like a cat who wanted to be intimate but didn't dare to be too obvious... Just as Lao Yang analyzed, he was already planning to leave:
"... All three secret keys have been uploaded to Diheng as a safety precaution... It seems that Taibu still hasn't found any other warriors who can walk freely in the forbidden area?"
"... Please help me for a moment, if something unexpected happens, the Cloud Cavalry will attack us with the demon fog..."
"Just find me a few Jin men to raid the battlefield, and don't play a scene of comrades fighting in front of me."
