Star Railway: I'm developing the Star Railway mobile game at my company.

"Alas, fate is cruel."

Watching this part of the story, especially the comments on the screen, made Silver Wolf a little curious. He then looked at Blade, who was fiddling with the mortise and tenon joint.

"Blade, Blade, A-Blade——"

"heard it."

Although "A-Ren" is basically the name Kaffa used when controlling him with her Words of Power, his spirit has become much more stable since he came out of the Foresight Room, so Silver Wolf sometimes likes to call him that too.

Having received a response, Silver Wolf asked while looking at his phone.

"I saw in the comments that there's no bounty on Zhu Ming for Ren, only a missing person notice for Ying Xing. Is that true or false?"

Upon hearing this, Ren stopped what he was doing, only occasionally letting his hand tremble uncontrollably, and responded after a moment of silence.

"How would I know? Besides, missing person notice... that's such a naive term."

Silver Wolf: "Who knows? How about I hack into Zhu Ming's local area network and we make a bet on this new mortise and tenon joint you have!"

Blade: "Boring."

Although that's what he said, Ren didn't explicitly object.

Silver Wolf swiped his finger, and a virtual screen appeared in front of him that he could operate. He then plunged into it.

The data stream scrolled rapidly across the screen, and soon Silver Wolf stopped what he was doing.

"How about it."

Seeing that Silver Wolf had obtained the results, Blade finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf stroked his chin: "Hmm... indeed, there are no missing person notices in Zhu Ming."

Upon hearing this, Ren's eyes dimmed slightly without him realizing it.

"I knew it..."

Just as Blade was about to say something more, Silver Wolf added another sentence.

"But I haven't seen your arrest warrant either, so what does that mean?"

Silver Wolf looked somewhat troubled, as if he was wondering why he hadn't thought of that, completely unaware of Blade's change in expression.

Ren stared quietly at the six-sided mortise and tenon in his hand, then tossed it to the silver wolf, his tone light and cheerful.

"Here you go."

Chapter 404 My life is like walking on thin ice

Returning to the plot, after General Huaiyan's powerful intervention, Feixiao only stated that he was asking the question on behalf of the alliance and that it had nothing to do with his own attitude.

Feixiao then began his next question.

[The report then mentions that Dan Shu, the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, harbored treacherous intentions, colluded with the Great Lord of Annihilation, and used a star core to revive the Jianmu tree.]

[Yet Dan Shu is merely a Dan Master, yet she possesses such extraordinary connections. It's one thing for her to collude with external enemies and summon a star core, but the Ancient Sea Jianmu is the territory of the Chiming clan; how did she manage to bypass the guards?]

Behind this issue is the belief of the old guard within the alliance that Jing Yuan colluded with the Medicine King's secret teachings to create momentum for Dan Heng's return to Luofu and reclaim his position as Dragon Lord. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Dan Heng would return before the exile order ended.

However, this problem is easy to solve. You can simply refuse to answer or pin the blame on Dan Shu, saying that the other party has been lying in wait for many years, just to take revenge on Xunlie.

While it's impossible to explain exactly how Dan Shu brought the star core in, this question is clearly beyond the scope of what the train needs to answer.

Other options involving Dragon Master or Danheng were suppressed, even though the audience initially wanted to say that it was Dragon Master Luofu's fault for not guarding properly.

However, since Danheng did return to Luofu before the exile order ended, the blame can also be placed on Danheng, making it impossible to mount a strong counterattack.

Finally, the topic turned to Huanlong.

The report claims that the Great Ruler of Annihilation, Huanlong, was the mastermind behind the conspiracy.

[While traveling with you, she appeared as a ferryman from the Imperial Shipping Bureau, and then vanished without a trace. This culprit seems to come and go freely; it's all too convenient to use her as a scapegoat.]

The intention behind his words was quite clear: he wanted to say that the arrival of the Great Lord Huanlong was fabricated by Jingyuan to shirk responsibility.

The rebuttal should simply focus on denying Huanlong's existence.

For example, it explains that Fu Xuan witnessed the entire process, and that Huanlong is an elusive member of the Suiyang clan who desires the power of the Jianmu tree to create an indestructible body.

The answer to this question is simple; you can get extra points as long as you don't refuse to answer.

After the three questions were asked, the dialogue and negotiation came to an end.

However, the problems that arose during the process and Fei Xiao's rebuttal surprised the audience, who never expected that things could be explained in this way.

"Phew, finally over. You were more serious than when answering my girlfriend's questions."

"Maru, I'm going to go all out and smash myself to pieces!"

"Jingyuan: 6"

Fortunately, Fei Xiao was only asking the question on behalf of someone else. Although there were still some details that were difficult to explain, Fei Xiao's judgment was that there was nothing wrong with it.

The key point is that those three questions were not only directed at the nameless guest, but also conveyed a certain message to Jing Yuan.

[Firstly, the secret teachings of the Medicine King continued to grow within Luofu, yet the Six Emperors remained oblivious, allowing it to flourish—this was a dereliction of duty.]

Secondly, by blindly believing the Star Core Hunter's claims and entrusting the crucial responsibility of resolving the crisis to outsiders, allowing them to uncover the scourge of the plague, they have committed dereliction of duty.

Thirdly, after the calamity at Jianmu, he insisted on holding a martial arts ceremony, once again placing Luofu in the spotlight of the world; this was a lapse in judgment.

These accusations, so true and undeniable, were like sharp arrows piercing Jing Yuan. Seeing Da Mao Mao's slightly bowed head and furrowed brow, the audience couldn't help but sigh.

"Well...on the more you look at it, it all makes a lot of sense."

"The Three-Loss General"

"Jing Yuan cannot shirk responsibility for the matter concerning the Pill Refining Division. He wasn't entirely wrong, but he was to some extent, after all, it's been over seven hundred years."

"Wanla, Fu Xuan is going to take over (joy)"

"While that makes sense, I still feel so sorry for the big cat."

"Don't worry, as long as the final outcome is good, that's all that matters. As long as Luofu is doing well now, some minor details won't affect the overall situation."

"Success or failure determines a hero's worth."

Jingyuan: I've lived my whole life on thin ice. Do you think I can keep working until retirement?

Hearing Fei Xiao's conclusion, Huai Yan, who was standing to the side, raised a question.

[General Tianji, is this your intention... or the Ten Kings' intention?]

The Ten Kings naturally refer to the Ten Kings' Office, which is independent of the Six Emperors and responsible for managing the prison.

I think I said from the moment I entered the hall that what I asked might not be what I believed.

After hearing Fei Xiao's attitude, Jing Yuan responded to the previous accusations.

[...The forces behind the Medicine King's secret teachings are deeply entrenched and have been plotting for a long time. Jing Yuan's oversight was indeed negligent.]

[I may not entirely believe the Star Core Hunter's prophecy. But in the face of adversity, Luo Fu has managed to survive the Jianmu catastrophe, demonstrating that Eriol's prophecies about the future do have some merit.]

As for the martial arts ceremony... how could Jing Yuan not know the risks of opening the door to thieves? However, risk can also be an opportunity. The waters of Luofu have been stagnant for too long; it's time to stir them up, let the dregs rise, and purify the waters.

Seeing the confident smile that reappeared on Jing Yuan's face, one couldn't help but wonder if he had foreseen Bu Liren's infiltration earlier.

[General Shence is truly a cultured man; a few words from him are as eloquent as an entire encyclopedia of idioms from the game "Immortal Boat." I like it.]

Fei Xiao, who likes everything, was awarded the title of General of Four Joys, and his attitude was not as serious as before.

He then mentioned that rumors and speculations were circulating within the alliance, and even within Luofu, there were people submitting memorials to the emperor.

Jing Yuan: [So, what does General Fei Xiao think?]

Feixiao: [We are both celestial generals, so we naturally understand the difficulties of sitting in this position.]

In my opinion, all of this is just the meaningless buzzing of mosquitoes and flies. Across the vast expanse of stars, only General Shence truly understands the crisis and the hidden significance behind what happened on Luofu...

Seeing Fei Xiao's positive attitude brought a sense of relief and made people appreciate the hardships the general had endured.

"Now I understand why General Huaiyan was able to retire and be rehired. I guess no one else would be willing to take on such a difficult job, right?"

"That's how it is with the old folks. The general only needs to protect the immortal ship and get through the crisis, while the old folks have a lot more to nitpick about."

"Why is the formula for this groove still chasing me?!"

Then Fei Xiao changed the subject.

[...just like the situation that Yaoqing Immortal Ship has recently encountered.]

According to the scouts, the Bu Li people are starting to stir again.

The originally disorganized Bu Li hunting group began to attack and devour each other, forming a larger hunting group.

Behind them, there was something called Mangusi guiding them. She was a woman who called herself the messenger of immortality, and Bu Liren believed that she would bring them a chance to rise again.

In response, Jing Yuan directly pointed out the key issue.

【It is an illusion.】

This mastermind, Jue Mie Da Jun, who is skilled at infiltrating and manipulating people's hearts, has not given up his plans after his defeat at Luofu last time. He is clearly brewing an even bigger conspiracy.

This also brings to mind Bu Liren, who previously infiltrated the immortal ship, suggesting that the enemy has already begun to launch attacks in various minor details.

Chapter 405 Danheng: The Feeling of Coming Home

The appearance of the familiar villain Huanlong's name, which was also confirmed by Feixiao, surprised the audience.

I thought that Huanlong would take a break after the last failure, but I didn't expect him to make a comeback so soon.

Fortunately, it was me who came; if it had been General Chenming or General Rongtao, this interrogation might not have been so amicable.

Feixiao's words also revealed the marshal's position, clearly showing that he cared more about the smooth conduct of the martial arts ceremony.

However, despite trusting his intuition, Fei Xiao still needed to confirm the most crucial point to give the league an explanation.

What does General Feixiao plan to do?

General Jingyuan knew perfectly well what was going on. But since you were unwilling to play the villain, then I would do it for you—the matter of the Jianmu still required the final decision from the Ten Kings' Division to quell public discontent.

The Ten Kings Division, an independent department separate from the Six Emperors, has reappeared, this time even holding a decisive position, which is enough to demonstrate how much power the Ten Kings Division wields within the Immortal Ship.

At this point, Fei Xiao looked at Xing and Dan Heng.

Therefore, I must trouble two nameless guests to make a trip to the Prison of Imprisonment.

The audience was stunned by these words.

"Huh? I'm going to jail?"

"Danheng: The Feeling of Coming Home"

"Danheng must have spent dozens of times more time in prison than on the train (sadly)."

"No wonder Jingyuan didn't want to be the bad guy..."

"It makes up for the regret that the protagonist wasn't wanted by the authorities or spent time in prison on the Immortal Ship."

"If nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected is about to occur."

Then Feixiao explained.

[This is not detention. I will request that the judges of the Ten Kings' Division of Inquiry leave behind a detailed testimony for everyone at the Mirror of Karma, supplementing the missing parts of the report, and also to silence any protests within the alliance.]

Dan Heng answered without hesitation.

"...I have no problem."

On the other hand, Xing felt a strange, primal urge surging in her right hand, making her want to raise her hand and say, "I have an objection!"

However, seeing Dan Heng's attitude, Xing obediently agreed.

With that matter settled, Fei Xiao then brought up another important matter.

If the testimonies stamped with the Ten Kings' Seals were intended to suppress dissenting voices within the alliance's upper echelons, then the voices from within the fox-people of the Yaoqing Immortal Ship urgently request General Jingyuan to listen.

[Did General Tianji come for the Thunder Cry?]

Because of Bu Liren's recent movements, Fei Xiao said he would take Hu Lei away and hand him over to Yao Qing Xian Zhou for safekeeping.

As for Hu Lei, this hot potato, although the Luofu Prison, which is full of gods and humans, is not lacking in such a valuable item, it would be best to hand it over to Yao Qing Immortal Boat.

So Danheng and Xing set off for the Youqiu Prison, while Feixiao arranged for Jiaoqiu and Moze to go ahead and check on Hulei's situation.
