What should we do now?
Walter stroked his chin, beginning to consider his next move.
Their main purpose in coming to the Immortal Ship was to rescue Zhou Xiao from the clutches of the Star Core Hunters and bring him back to the right path.
Now... Zhou Xiao is determined not to return to the train, which means their mission to the Immortal Ship can be considered a failure.
Walter pondered for a few seconds and decided it was necessary to contact Himeko and tell her about it.
He took his phone out of his pocket and sent a message to Himeko, but saw the message message failed to send.
“...”
Can't send it?
Could it be a signal problem?
Walter adjusted his glasses and, like an old man, wandered around looking for a cell phone signal. He had only taken a couple of steps when he felt something under his foot make a "gurgling" sound.
He looked down and saw that he had kicked a round bottle. He picked it up and saw that it was a small medicine bottle.
This thing... looks familiar.
Walter suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Xingmei, who was comforting March 7th: "Xing... is this the medicine for treating Zhou Xiao?"
"ah?"
Hearing Walter's call, Xing slowly stood up. She first touched her pocket, then her expression changed slightly as she said:
"It should be... but I don't know if it's medicine for treatment or medicine to speed up the condition... I handed both bottles to my master, and then... March pulled me back, and it seems that one of the bottles fell on the ground."
“...”
Walter remained silent.
Walter felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
"this..."
"Could it be... a treatment drug?"
"I don't think so," Xingmei said somewhat guiltily.
If this is medicine to treat an illness... then this is really bad luck!
"So... why did you give Zhou Xiao two bottles instead of giving him medicine to treat his illness directly?" Walter asked the crucial question.
"Huh?" Xingmei scratched her head and then replied, "Didn't Bailu say... that she was afraid my master wouldn't believe her and insisted on handing the two bottles of medicine to him personally..."
"You do whatever she says?" Walter thought it was a bit outrageous.
“Of course…” Xingmei said.
Walter: "..."
Looking at Xingmei's slightly bewildered face, he silently sighed for Zhou Xiao in his heart.
It's hard to say whether Zhou Xiao has a blessing or a curse to have a disciple like Xing Mei.
"Don't worry, we'll take this bottle of medicine with us. We'll give it to my master next time we see him..." Xingmei said, indicating it was a minor issue. According to Bailu, even medicine that accelerates the illness wouldn't cause immediate symptoms...
"As expected of you..."
"Alright, Uncle Yang, what should we do next?" Xingmei chuckled awkwardly twice before changing the subject.
"Let's go find that general in Luofu first..." Walter paused for two seconds before answering.
"Hmm... okay."
...
On the other side.
Zhou Xiao, who left Taipusi with Kafka, jumped down from the high point and landed right in a thatched mound. He emerged from the mound, brushed the weeds off his body, and looked at the mound behind him with a puzzled expression.
"Hiss? Why is there a thatched mound here out of nowhere? This doesn't make sense..."
"Hmm...it was placed there in advance," Kafka, who had jumped down first, answered his question.
"You... are you out of your mind? You could have just landed directly... why go through all that trouble?" Zhou Xiao said.
“You don’t understand… This is a sense of ritual. According to Silver Wolf, when you jump from a high place, you must land on a thatched mound. This is called… an Easter egg?” Kafka thought for a moment and then explained to Zhou Xiao in a serious tone.
"What the hell is this Easter egg..." Zhou Xiao retorted without any restraint, then suddenly remembered something: "You're not going to tell me that when you first arrived in Luofu and parted ways, there was a thatched mound at the bottom after you jumped off the Star Chariot Sea?"
“Of course…no.” Kafka indicated that it was all prepared in advance; she had played around with it while waiting for Tabos and the train crew.
"6." Regarding Kafka's statement, Zhou Xiao could only say that she was simply too idle.
"How was it? Are you satisfied with my performance?" Kafka took the initiative to speak when he stopped talking. She was like a child waiting for praise, hoping that Zhou Xiao would give her some kind of reward.
“Satisfied... my ass.” Zhou Xiao frowned and glanced at Kafka: “That was so awkward, like we were actually having an affair.”
"Waaaaah, Ah Xiao, you don't like it." Kafka pretended to be very sad.
"I was just saying that you were being treated so badly by that girl! That girl was really pushed to her limits... She kept asking about your whereabouts whenever we met before... By the way, what's your relationship with her?"
Kafka smelled the melon and instinctively wanted to eat it.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask...don't pry." Zhou Xiao glanced at Kafka up and down, thinking she was too idle.
"Waaah, I was just thinking of the little silver wolf... I was just asking for help."
"Little Silver Wolf?" Zhou Xiao asked, puzzled.
“Yes.” Kafka nodded seriously. “Didn’t I just say I was assigning Silver Wolf to you?”
"etc."
Zhou Xiao called a halt to Kafka's actions.
He suddenly remembered something.
He hasn't settled accounts with Kafka yet regarding the meme incident...
If Kafka hadn't mentioned the Silver Wolf, he would have completely forgotten about it because of the March 7th incident.
"What's wrong?" Kafka suddenly sensed that something was amiss.
"What's going on with that emoji?" Zhou Xiao didn't directly tell Kafka; he asked vaguely.
Upon hearing the words "emoji," Kafka's expression changed slightly.
"What emoji?"
"What do you think? Silver Wolf has confessed everything..."
"What...did she confess? I don't know anything." Kafka insisted that she didn't know anything.
"You really are... stubborn. If you make me say it, you're definitely not going to have a good time." Zhou Xiao put pressure on Kafka with his words.
“...”
Kafka was silent for a few seconds. She looked at the changes in Zhou Xiao's expression and realized that Zhou Xiao seemed to really know something.
For the sake of his own life.
Also for the sake of harmony among the Star Core Hunters.
She laid her cards on the table.
"Okay, okay... I know about Silver Wolf secretly taking pictures of you and making them into memes... Actually, I didn't know at the time, but Silver Wolf insisted on sending them to me to show off..." Kafka sighed and began to tell the truth:
"You know me too. When I saw this meme, I immediately stood on your side and condemned Silver Wolf's behavior!"
