"Wait... what is this?"
Upon hearing Xingmei's words, Walter and March 7th stopped in their tracks and looked in the direction Xingmei was looking.
As far as the eye could see, there was something resembling a bulletin board, on which, in addition to information about the Immortal Ship, several wanted posters were prominently displayed.
Wanted: Kafka, the Outer-of-Body [Star Core Hunter].
Wanted: Blade, the Star Core Hunter, a serious criminal who trespassed into the forbidden area of Luofu.
Wanted: Serious offender who trespassed into the forbidden area of Luofu [suspected Star Core Hunter] (A very handsome and imposing portrait).
Although this last wanted poster did not specify the name, anyone on the Starry Sky Train would recognize the portrait at a glance.
It's Zhou Xiao...
When March 7 saw that it was Zhou Xiao's wanted poster, his eyes changed very clearly, from surprise to shock, from astonishment to confusion and bewilderment, and finally to doubt.
"Zhou Xiao...is wanted by the Immortal Boat?" Her tone was filled with strong disbelief.
"The worst-case scenario... is still going to happen." Walter habitually pushed up his glasses, his expression still as composed as ever.
The logistics personnel of the Star Train, who colluded with the Star Core Hunters to cause trouble on the Immortal Ship Luofu, are now wanted by the authorities. Neither the upcoming conversation with Yu Kong nor the rescue of Zhou Xiao from the Star Core Hunters' abyss is good news...
"Uncle Yang, Master..." Xingmei looked at Walter as if asking what to do next.
"Don't panic... We need to know what Zhou Xiao did on the Immortal Ship and why he was wanted by the Immortal Ship."
Walter comforted Xingmei and March 7.
What did you do?
Based on their understanding of Zhou Xiao, this was definitely no small matter...
After all, Zhou Xiao doesn't cause trouble easily, but when he does, it's something big, as can be seen from the series of events on Yalilo VI, such as the Great Rift Valley and the destroyed Kreeberburg.
The three finally arrived at the gates of Sichen Palace. The little fox Tingyun had already reported the situation regarding Yu Kong and was waiting for them outside. Upon seeing San Yueqi and the others arrive, Tingyun spoke:
"My esteemed benefactors, Lord Yukong is awaiting you at the Sichen Palace..."
"Um...Thank you for your hard work, Miss Tingyun." Walter politely thanked her.
"This is just my job; it's nothing compared to the hard work of our benefactors who have come from afar..."
Tingyun politely returned, then watched the group enter Sichen Palace.
...
"Report the losses to General Jingyuan...and summon the officials from the Imperial Apostles. How can they remain uninvolved in such a massive disturbance..."
As Walter and the others entered, a fox-woman with dark blue hair was standing in the center of the Sichen Palace, communicating with her subordinates.
She was the helmsman of the Sky Ship Bureau, the one who controlled the sky.
The moment she saw Yu Kong, Xing Mei subconsciously swallowed.
Both are beast girls... with ears and tails, but Tingyun and Yukong present completely different styles.
Mistaking a cute girl for a treasure...
Mature women are the real deal.
Those long legs...that body proportion, those eyes...
Xingmei suddenly felt that Tingyun wasn't so appealing anymore.
"Hey, tone it down." March 7th seemed to have noticed Xingmei's gaze and whispered a reminder, as if he wanted to stick close to Yukong.
"Mind your image..."
...
"Hello, passengers of the Starry Sky Train."
Hearing the footsteps of Walter and the others, Yu Kong finally shifted his attention from official business to the guests who had come from afar.
"Your purpose... Tingyun has already informed me. As the captain of the Sky Ship Company, my duties do not include receiving passengers. However, since you know about the Star Core and have stated that you want to help Luofu overcome its crisis, I should give you a chance to refuse in person, both morally and logically..."
Yu Kong declined the Star Train's offer, after all, their Luo Fu Immortal Ship had a solid foundation and a long history, and had faced countless crises, so they naturally had a way to deal with the Star Core.
Walter also wanted to persuade Yu Kong.
Their Star Train has extensive experience in sealing star cores...
A true professional...
However, Yu Kong still refused them and, just as Walter had just questioned the purpose of the Star Train to the Celestial Ship, did.
"I retrieved the entry and exit records for the Star Chariot Sea. Not long ago, someone hacked into the system, opened the Jade Realm, and guided a ship into port... That was your Starry Sky Train. And the person who hacked into the system was very skillful... They even deliberately left a trace in a provocative manner..."
"Silver Wolf, a member of the Star Core Hunters."
This inexplicable logic only led Yu Kong to suspect that the Star Core Hunter and the Starry Sky Train were having an affair...
"You cannot leave until the mystery is solved."
Walter spoke up to explain, in a straightforward manner, the matter of the Star Core Hunter Kafka entrusting them with the Star Train to Luofu, but this explanation seemed even more illogical.
Are the Star Train and the Star Core Hunters on such good terms now?
The Star Core Hunter said, "The Star Train is coming?"
Just as the matter was getting worse, Jing Yuanyuan's projection appeared in front of him not far away and walked over step by step. Seeing that it was someone from the Starry Sky Train, Jing Yuanyuan's lips curled up slightly.
The Star Train has truly arrived at the Celestial Ship...
That would be a very promising opportunity.
He first interrupted Yu Kong with his voice, and then introduced himself.
Upon learning that the projection before him was a general from the Luofu Immortal Ship, Walter adjusted his glasses. He instinctively felt that this general from Luofu seemed even more troublesome.
"I apologize for not being able to meet you in person due to my busy schedule. The matter of the Star Core is indeed an internal matter of the Immortal Ship, so please don't trouble yourself. However... I do have another matter to ask of you all on the Starry Sky Train."
...
Jing Yuan spoke eloquently, and after listening to his request, San Yueqi raised an eyebrow and said:
"You want us to capture Kafka?"
“Exactly…” Jing Yuan’s projection nodded:
"In this way, we can clear everyone of suspicion and find out the Star Core Hunter's purpose in infiltrating the Immortal Ship and what its connection is with that Star Core. Isn't that wonderful?"
He, Jing Yuanchang, has taken all that cunning.
Fu Xuan's original suggestion was to keep a close eye on the people on the Starry Sky Train and wait to reap the benefits, but instead, he directly used the Starry Sky Train as conscripts to capture Kafka...
"What do you all think?" Jing Yuan waved his left hand and glanced at the three people present.
Both March 7th and Star Girl's eyes were fixed on Walter.
Walter pondered for two seconds and nodded: "Okay...but we have conditions."
"?"
"condition?"
Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."
“I saw that the wanted poster has someone who looks like a Star Core Hunter on it... I want to know why he is wanted on the Immortal Ship.”
Walter begins to maneuver against Jing Yuan, using the promise of helping the Immortal Ship capture the Star Core Hunter as leverage...
