When I opened the door, I found that Dan Heng had already sat at the diagonal position of the long table, and Ruan Mei was already putting on makeup in front of the door. She closed the mirror only after she saw Kong come in.
They ran into the conference room so quickly that it was hard to say whether they actively participated in the meeting because of their "blood relationship" with Xianzhou, or whether they simply saw Tingyun being "suppressed" by Kong and ran in to seek refuge.
"I rested last night. 9:, :, : is OK, right?"
Sora, who had nothing to hide, acted quite relaxed.
"I didn't sleep all night."
Dan Heng, who was full of guilty conscience, was in a stuck state, as if he was dragged to the Recycle Bin halfway through decompression. It seemed that going out to take pictures with Sanyue and the others last night did not relieve his overly nervous spirit - Kong thought it would be no problem to let him hold it in for a whole night.
"…My bad. I should have started the meeting earlier. Maybe you would be more relaxed."
Although he was homesick, Danheng had no dark circles under his eyes, and it was hard to imagine that he tossed and turned at night.
He looked up at Ruan Mei, as if to confirm whether her eyes were still as straight as usual. After seeing that she would still glance at Kong from time to time, Dan Heng spoke slowly, as if he was sure that this woman would not easily betray Kong, and would not easily betray the train:
"Whether you relax or not has nothing to do with whether you speak it out or not, Kong. I've said before that the star core hunter named Blade has been fighting with me in my dreams for several years. The closer I am to him, the more obvious the discomfort caused by the memory being triggered becomes."
"I haven't figured out the feud between you and him yet - but Elio asked us to save the blade, so he couldn't be unaware of the bad fate between you and him, right?"
"…At first I thought it wasn't me who was fighting him, and it wasn't me that he wanted to avenge, but the Dragon Lord. But after returning to Luofu, Dan Feng's memories kept surging in my mind. Sometimes I felt like I was experiencing another person's life. No, when the situation was serious, I would be washed away by Ru Hai's memories and feel like I was him."
His calm tone was filled with a kind of helplessness towards fate. Carrying the memories of another person, but not wanting to admit that he was him, this was the problem Dan Heng encountered.
After climbing onto Luofu Mountain, his memory became too clear again, and the dividing line between the present and the past became blurred, making it difficult for him to follow the advice that Kong had given him before: "Refuse to admit it, and it will have nothing to do with me."
There was no way, he remembered all those bad things. He remembered everything that Dan Feng had experienced before he was shaped into the evil dragon, including the punishment of forced scale shedding, and of course the unbreakable friendship he had with the heroes of Luofu named "The Five Heroes on the Cloud" before he went astray.
"Wait, Dan Heng, the airtightness of this conference room is not very good - although there is a full set of sound insulation, if we want to avoid being monitored, we should still communicate with psychic energy, just to give the authorities the appearance that we are in a meeting."
【it is good. 】
[Is it about to begin? Dan Heng’s storytelling session! ]
[Xiao Sanyue, for Danheng, this is not a past worth being happy about or sharing, otherwise he would have said it long ago.]
[Oh, sorry, I'm just too curious... After all, I'm different from Dan Heng, I really can't remember what my situation was like before——]
So Old Yang, who was educating March just now, almost fainted.
The life stories of these kids are more miserable than each other.
[I have repeatedly stressed before that I am not the previous Dragon Lord, and I do not need to bear his guilt, but this day, whenever I go to a familiar place, I am always moved by his memories... Among Dan Feng's former friends, the last of the Five Heroes who still exists is General Jing Yuan.]
[Ruan Mei shared the information with me yesterday. He handled Dan Feng's catastrophe... and the final trial and punishment of Dan Feng.] Kong roughly understood what Dan Heng meant.
[Well, he definitely knew that I was in Youxia Court. He was the one who personally issued the sentence of exile. Others might not know that I was in the car, but he must have been monitoring me.]
⒌【But now he acquiesces to your return home—he wants to use you.】 Ruan Mei directly skipped the discussion and gave a conclusion. I don’t know if she wanted to reduce Dan Heng’s painful memories or simply wanted to speed up the progress of the meeting.
[Well, maybe it’s because Jianmu brought disaster—I can only think of this one reason that would make the general who hates Danfeng ignore my existence temporarily.]
⒍【But if Dan Feng is really your previous life, why didn’t you delete all your memories when you were reborn?】
[It may be because this memory is too important. It not only contains the magic method of transforming into a dragon, a method of "breeding" that the Vidyadhara is looking for, but also a method to strengthen the seal of Jianmu. ]
3. In the three-person conference room, it was as if several people's hissing voices were heard.
[…I did some research last night. The well-known ‘Dragon Girl’ in Changletian—that Bai Lu is the heir of Dragon Lord. However, according to rumors, she is very good at diagnosis, but she is not very useful in controlling the power of the sea and suppressing Jianmu. The tribe has half expectations and half dissatisfaction with her. If the situation is urgent, the general may bypass her and try to find me to handle it.]
4【So that's how it is! That general looks like a decent person, but he actually has so many tricks! 】
2 [After all, he is the General of Shen Ce... maybe he was the one who led your incomplete transformation.] Ruan Mei guessed without malice.
[…No, Jing Yuan would not do that. That day, there was only confusion and questioning in his eyes.]
uHearing Dan Heng say this, Kong knew that he was getting lost in the whirlpool of memories again, so he patted his shoulder and held it tightly, causing the faintly visible horn on his forehead to retract.
H【Calm down.】
a【Yeah. Thank you. I feel much better.】
n365. I am a farmer
Q Danheng has been avoiding his past life all this time. Now he opens his heart because he does not want his friends on the train to be in danger because of his concealment, and he also does not want Luofu, his hometown that seems to exist only in his memory, to fall.
Kong had long been aware of U Jianmu's unusual movements through the resonance of the rich seeds in his body. If the towering tree stretched out its branches again, it would surely be more magnificent than ever before - but it was hard to say whether the "radiation" it released would further increase the lifespan of the people on the Luofu Fairy Boat, or force them to transform into evil monsters under stimulation.
Now that the secret teachings of the Medicine King have been broken up, the most obvious threat seems to have been eliminated for the most part, but the medicine-carrying dragon girl cannot break the water seal of the Scale Abyss Realm, so no matter how you think about it, the responsibility of strengthening the seal afterwards will have to fall on him.
On the one hand, he was confessing, and on the other hand, he was also seeking help from the "elders" - Dan Feng's memory brought him experience far beyond that of ordinary people, but it takes time to transform experience into sophistication and judgment, and Dan Heng's incomplete transformation left him with some of the confusion that is inevitable for young people.
After Liu Yun and Shen He finished their meditation, Lao Yang and Cocolia also brought Sanyue into the conference room. He basically explained the sins he committed in his previous life, including the importance of his previous life to Luofu.
Dan Heng heaved a sigh of relief as Kong patted his shoulders repeatedly. Then he looked at Lao Yang with a slightly inquiring look - because Kong had never intended to let him take responsibility from the beginning. Lao Yang's opinion would determine his final decision.
Perhaps it was because although Walter was not young anymore, the passion of a young man still flowed in his chest, and Dan Heng expected him to give him a push.
It's not about helping him make a decision, but about giving him a reason not to resist.
[Dan Heng, I tend to lend a hand to Xian Zhou——]
Walter pushed his glasses up as expected: [Assuming that you had nothing to do with Luofu before, Danheng, you are still an unknown guest, and you help others when you encounter disasters and hardships during the journey - it just fits the concept of pioneering. Captain, do you still remember the concept of pioneering that Jizi told you when you boarded the car? ]
“Explore. Understand. Build. Connect.”
Kong Yi spread his hands and spoke directly with his vocal cords: "Alright, Lao Yang, rather than giving him advice, you actually hope that I will make up my mind to help him to the end, right? I already said that letting Dan Shu escape yesterday was just a trick, not just to show disrespect to Luo Fu."
"After all, the way you teach your children is sometimes too practical. If we really let go of our desire to help others because of some grievances and let the situation develop, it is likely that Dan Heng will be left with regrets--"
Old Yang was confident in Dan Heng's character and knocked his cane forward: [Dan Heng, you don't have to blame yourself for not being able to fulfill your full responsibilities. Just help within your ability.]
"Thank you." Under Lao Yang's guidance, he nodded, and his eyes seemed to be brighter.
[Why should I thank you? You already have the answer in your heart, right? ]
Old Yang smiled tolerantly: [Even if you choose to return to the car and not ask about Luofu's trivial matters, no one will blame you. Whether you avoid it or confront it directly, it is all out of kindness... In the eyes of the family, Danfeng is Danfeng, and you are you.]
This sentence is enough.
Dan Heng was afraid that if he revealed his unknown side, his identity as an exile would be brought up again and the train would not be able to accommodate him. However, the train's style of helping relatives and sometimes even doting on its own people made him relax again, and his stern face softened a lot.
"...You really have hidden powers. I'm so envious. I'm the most unsure person in the car right now—"
The little fool March has always been concerned about something different from everyone else, which made Danheng, who had just felt a little warm, sigh.
"I would rather not have such a complicated background... Since everyone supports me, I won't avoid Jing Yuan. If he needs me to do something, as long as he doesn't put me in the prison again, I will obey him."
"Don't worry. If he attacks you again, it will become a diplomatic and racial issue. I have asked Haiya to investigate the laws and cultures of the various immortal boats. After the transformation, the vidyadhara should be regarded as another person, and the sins of the previous life should be written off. Even if they want to hold you accountable, the elders of the vidyadhara will not agree to punish you again for their own safety and the safety of the tribe."
Soukong smiled as if he understood everything: "At worst, we can drag Fang Hu into the water."
Suo: "As expected of you." It is said that if you want to be a good person, you have to be worse than a bad person...Sora perfectly fits this statement.
Q: “Even if you praise me, I can’t help you move mountains or fill the sea.”
Qunkong pinched his chin and said, "I can get an explanation for my karma in Luofu - but I really don't know what to do about your bad fate with Ren."
: "I'm not sure. Let's discuss it after we meet... I'm ready to deal with it."
The name "Ying Xing" faintly flashed through Danheng's mind.
Si Wuxiao now appears in the Sanxiao group. Will there be a chance to meet the other two "old friends" who are theoretically dead again?
㈧ "Yesterday he was killing monsters and laughing wildly - he doesn't look like someone who is easy to talk to. Teacher Danheng, you have to be careful."
"But I heard that he has a good relationship with Sora - Sora, do you remember what Blade's mental state and temperament were like when he worked with you in Hunter?"
Four "...I forgot everything. This body compressed two pieces of information. The only fragments I remember are the crazy way he hacked and killed people when he went on a mission with me."
⑶ “Wow…it sounds even more terrifying…” Thinking of the murderous look in the other person’s scarlet eyes, Xiao Sanyue’s face turned green.
"But you still remember what happened between Kafka and Silver Wolf..." Paimon said with a dead look in his eyes:
Zero: "As expected, only things related to beautiful women are remembered most clearly?"
"Don't expose people's difficulties...see the truth but don't speak it out——"
……
"Have you decided where to go, benefactor~?"
The fully armed train crew is ready to go, but the general's order has not yet come down - I don't know if they have just made internal adjustments, and now Tingyun, who has a clear goal, comes up, it seems that he is thinking of taking them to somewhere in Changletian to "do nothing" and delay the most dangerous time until the general finishes reorganizing the army.
"Tingyun, you have to come with us for today's work. Yunqi reported that the pollution in the Industrial and Manufacturing Company has dissipated, but there are a few more monsters. They won't make you sick. In addition to letting those people in the company who refuse to leave lead the way, we also need a guide who is familiar with the local transportation hub."
"Ah, well, I will certainly do my best to help you."
She was stunned at first, then she saw Kong's unquestionable attitude, and glanced at the Jackdaw who had followed with the Hades Messenger. She could only smile weakly and move closer to Kong.
Her insecure behavior almost pushed Shen He away, but to everyone's surprise, Shen He, who wanted to stuff Kong into his chest yesterday, was completely calm this morning and didn't mind the fox's "provocation" at all.
Is she full? But looking at the appearance of Immortal Liuyun, she seems a little frustrated, and her posture is not straight enough when she walks... Is it because she sacrificed her own quantity to make up for her apprentice?
Regardless of the ridicule and speculation inside the train, Kong walked in the front, leading everyone to the Xingcha that had been waiting outside Youxia Courtyard, and he really had the style of leading a patrol:
"Besides seizing some aircraft in the hope of escaping Luofu, do you think they have any other intentions in attacking the Industrial Manufacturing Company?"
"You've stumped me. If I have to give you a reason... maybe it's because the Industrial Manufacturing Department is in charge of Luofu's gold man production and heavy equipment distribution? They want to stop Luofu's production? It's a bit far-fetched to find a vehicle - Huixing Port and Liuyun Ferry also have Xingcha production lines, which are closer to the Jade Realm Gate, but the attacks there were less severe. I don't think they are trying to escape."
Tingyun, who was forcibly captured, had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and advise Kong: "And they don't necessarily have any external help. The Tianbo Division has recently patrolled the space area around Luofu Tiaotiao, and no signs of any jump were found. The bad guys appeared out of thin air - I think they have been lurking on the ship for quite some time."
"So it really grew out of the ground..."
When I saw those evil creatures raising their heads from the lawn of Shen Ce Mansion like zombies emerging from the ground, Paimeng was terrified.
"What do you think, Judge Jackdaw?"
"...I think the motive for the crime is simpler...Compared to the high-hanging Taibusi and Changletian, the Gongzaosi is closer to Jianmu and is in charge of the largest 'furnace' of the immortal boat. The criminals are most likely going for the Creation Furnace." Lu
"Oven? Oh, you mean the 'engine' of the Industrial Manufacturing Company?" Sora remembered the magical buoyancy sources mentioned in the documents.
The endless supply of energy comes from "Sui Yang", an almost immortal elemental creature that absorbs human emotions and hangs on the human body in a parasitic form, consuming the host's soul.
Since being defeated by Luofu in the last war, most of them have become prisoners. However, due to their exploitable characteristics, they are not thrown into prison, but are used as firewood in the furnace, providing Luofu Fairy Boat with inexhaustible energy, allowing it to continue to travel the starry sea at a low cost.
...Wait, Gan, Jing Yuan didn't say whether these elemental creatures escaped from the Industrial Manufacturing Company because of the attack. If the number of lost energy creatures is too large, it would be very funny. If a prison riot occurs in the engine area, the destructive power to the super-large ship will be no less than the overall rebellion of the Dan Ding Company. Kong has suffered such a loss once elsewhere. He didn't expect that the time and moment would be exactly like this moment.
"Engine? Well, that's not wrong. It is one of the main power sources for the immortal boat. Once it is mastered, the war machines of the Industrial and Manufacturing Division will not be able to work at full capacity. They can also rely on Jianmu to absorb nutrients."
"... To be on the safe side, I need to know the specific details of the Sui Yang leak. According to the data, the nature of that thing is the same as that of a ghost, but even worse. Please tell me that not too much of the elemental life in the furnace has leaked out of the Industrial Manufacturing Division...."
"..." Jackdaw performed a trick for Kong on the spot: eyes watching nose and nose watching heart.
"...You have captured quite a few Suiyang, right?"
A lot of sweat was sliding down Jackdaw's pretty face, which was almost cold like a living person.
