Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

Chen Jie looked at Dan Heng with slight surprise, "Thank you for your hard work, Dan Heng."

"It's alright. Like you, I felt something was off about this person from the beginning. He's like a fox with many masks."

"A fox with many masks?" Chen Jie was slightly taken aback. "That's a very fitting description for him, don't you think? Mr. Masked Fox?"

A mask? A fox? They suit well?

Could this Alph Dustbreaker be the person Hanabi mentioned back then? Does he really know me?!

Chen Jie stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Sang Bo's crown. The moment his hand touched the crown, he could feel Sang Bo's body stiffen.

“Mr. Mask, stop keeping your head half-turned. Look ahead. Aren’t those the Silver Mane Iron Guards you mentioned? And judging from their appearance, there seems to be an officer among them?”

Amidst the wind and snow, a group of people clad in standard armor appeared and disappeared. Sangbo, whose skull was being touched, dared not move, obediently watching.

"Friends, friends, these are the Silvermane Iron Guards I was talking about. Jepard is here too. Dude, we're all in the same line of work, we can't let the Silvermane Iron Guards catch us!"

"What? They're going to arrest us? That won't do!"

Provoked by this, March 7th was about to draw his bow and nock an arrow, but Chen Jie grabbed his wrist and pressed it down first.

"Don't rush, March. We've never been on the same side as him. I think handing this guy with an unknown identity and unclear intentions over to this group of guys who look like soldiers is the best choice."

Dan Heng pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded decisively.

"Chen Jie is right. Doing this now is indeed the most beneficial choice for us, and we don't need to feel any psychological burden."

In that instant, Sambo's face darkened. Seeing that the Silvermane Iron Guards had spotted them and were speeding towards them, he turned to flee without a second thought.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded. A sharp, oppressive feeling pressed down on him, making it impossible for him to move. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Chen Jie, and then a terrifying scene occurred.

Dust and tribulation were also watching him.

"Don't try to run away, masked man. I don't like violence, and I don't like people who lie all the time."

"I prefer honesty and laughter, rather than jokes and amusement."

At that moment, Sangbo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

This guy really recognizes himself.

Was Chen Jie truly thinking nothing during his silence along the way? Of course not.

That Star God of Fun might actually not intend to let me go, which would explain why Sambo heard my name from Hanabi.

"The blue-haired suspect!"

"Sir! We've found it!"

A young man in a blue and white officer's uniform stepped forward, carrying a strange shield. His perfectly smooth clothing and his left hand, always gripping a weapon and ready to respond to any unexpected situation, were striking.

It's clear he's a consistent and meticulous soldier.

"Commander Jepard, hello. I think you should be starting to guess who we are."

"We weren't with this suspect at all; on the contrary, this strange blue-haired man kept trying to persuade us to join him."

"He's now in your care, sir."

Jepard, who had just stepped forward, paused slightly, looking at the bespectacled young man in front of him, and inexplicably felt as if he had been seen through.

"Are you visitors from outer space? But since the cold wave, no visitors from outer space have crossed the snow curtain to reach this place."

At this point, Jepard fell silent; this was no longer something he could concern himself with.

"First, apprehend that blue-haired prisoner. I will leave the identities of these guests to the 'Great Guardian' to determine."

Meanwhile, inside the castle in the Belberg district

Cocolia, who was working and reviewing documents, suddenly frowned. "What are you talking about?"

"Cocolia, a terrifying creature has arrived; he will be an obstacle to our new world."

Chapter 32 Duck

"Your guards are bringing them here. Don't let them disturb us, Cocolia."

"I don't need you to teach me!"

After uttering a furious rebuttal, the star core fell silent.

"I will not allow anyone to disturb me, anyone!"

Meanwhile, Jepard looked on with a hint of helplessness at the Silvermane Iron Guards who kept apologizing.

"It's alright, let him escape if he wants. He'll go back to Belleburg sooner or later."

"Maintain formation and escort our guests to meet the Great Guardian."

Hmm? What kind of energy is that? It's somewhat similar to the energy of stars, is it the stellar core? It's sensing me.

In that case, I can't bear to see Cocolia. If the Star Core only realizes what's happening after I arrive, I can just take action and destroy that wisp of the Star Core's consciousness.

Going there now would only result in jail time, or a bloody battle for survival.

“Commander Jepard, how about this: you go and inform the High Guardian first, and we’ll head to the Goethe Hotel to rest?”

"After all, our arrival is no small matter. It would be inappropriate to meet the Great Guardian so abruptly. It would be better to give him more time to think."

Turning around, Jepard looked at Dust in surprise.

This person gave him the impression of being calm and composed, exuding a maturity beyond his years. Even his speech was impeccable and logical.

"Mr. Chenjie is right. Please allow me to personally escort you all to the Goethe Hotel for registration. We hope you will not refuse."

Chen Jie smiled calmly, "In that case, I shall respectfully comply."

Soon, led by Jepard and escorted by the Silvermane Iron Guards, they were being stared at by passersby even before reaching the Goethe Hotel.

As soon as Jepard entered the gate, the hotel manager came out to greet him.

"Commander Jepard, is there something you need?"

"I wonder if your hotel currently has four rooms available? These four distinguished guests will be meeting with the Great Guardian later."

The manager immediately understood and smiled obsequiously, "Yes, yes, we happen to have four of the best rooms left. Leave the rest to me; I'll lead these four to their rooms."

"As for money, there's no need. I'm just resting for a while; it won't take up much time."

Jepard choked; he truly hadn't expected the manager to do this. Before he could say anything, the manager led the person away.

Shaking his head, Jepard patted his adjutant on the shoulder. "You may all leave now. I'm going to see the High Guardian."

"Yes!"

"Distinguished guests, this way, we've arrived. These four rooms face each other. You four, please wait a moment. This gentleman, you need to..."

Before he could finish speaking, the manager was knocked unconscious by Chen Jie with a single chop to the neck, a scene that greatly surprised the three of them.

"Dust Calamity, what are you doing? They brought us here to rest, but you can't just knock them out because they're flattering you!"

Chen Jie opened the door with a surprised look in his eyes, then dragged the unconscious person into the room.

"Not bad, you can tell what flattery looks like; that deserves praise."

"Hmph! That's right! This young lady is very clever!"

"Chen Jie, what is the purpose of doing this?" Dan Heng became serious for the first time because of Chen Jie's actions.

In his view, Chen Jie was not like San Yueqi and Xing; he couldn't possibly judge a person's character so rashly.

After leaving the room and closing the door, Chen Jie dusted off his hands. "Dan Heng really hit the nail on the head."

“I sensed energy fluctuations from the star core in that large castle. Although it was brief, it was definitely there. And Jepard said that this large castle is an administrative district, so I have a guess.”

"That means the Star Core has already taken control of the Great Guardian. Our attempt to destroy the Star Core will only backfire, and we might even end up in jail."

The three were shocked by his words.

March 7th covered her mouth with one hand, looking completely bewildered. "No, really? Dust Calamity, could you be mistaken? You're just a scientist!"

"Hmm, I think March is right. I, as a Star Core Essence, didn't even sense it, so how could you, Dust Tribulation, sense it? You should know you're just a researcher."

Dust Tribulation:

Seeing the two like-minded individuals begin to flatter each other, Chen Jie cast a hopeful glance at the pensive Dan Heng.

"Have you forgotten that Dust Calamity's armor was constructed from energy? Dust Calamity is more than just a researcher; I trust his sensitivity to energy."

Dan Heng's explanation of the order to set things right left the two of them stunned, while Chen Jie nodded slightly with satisfaction.

"Alright, no rush. Let's just go out through the hotel's main entrance. Anyway, no one will see what we look like or what we do. We'll see how those Silvermane Iron Guards treat us when they come looking for us."

"After all, the manner with which you invite someone and the manner with which you arrest someone are different."

March 7th laughed somewhat awkwardly, "Is that so? Hehe."

"I actually knew all along, back in March."

"star!"

Ignoring their daily bickering and playful fights, Chen Jie and Dan Heng walked ahead.

Just as Chen Jie had said, no one stopped them along the way, and they left the grand hotel smoothly.

"So that's why you knocked out that manager?"

He admitted that his own mind wasn't as sharp as these true "geniuses," and indeed, it was the right decision to have Chen Jie lead the team.

Dust Tribulation carefully surveyed his surroundings. "A repair shop? Should we check that out? It's located right next to the administrative building, and not a single Silver Mane Iron Guard patrols there. That's something special."

"Who are you? Why are you dressed in such strange clothes?"

A clear, girlish voice came from behind them, prompting them to turn around.

Upon recognizing the speaker, Chen Jie raised an eyebrow slightly. "Duck!"

"Rideon?"

"What Rideon? What are you talking about?"

"No, it's nothing, just me talking to myself. Please don't take it to heart, young lady."

"We are 'visitors from outer space.' We are temporarily resting at the Goethe Hotel as arranged by Commander Jeppard, and now we've come out to observe the Belleburg."
