Chapter 86 Firefly's Script
As soon as the little white dragon appeared, the situation of the battle changed, and the Firefly Mech on the opposite side, who was on high alert, turned sideways.
Lu Qi ignored the Qiong that was being pulled up and looked towards the mecha. She took a look and turned to ask the gray-haired young man.
"You guys want to beat up that little girl?"
"Who?" Qiong asked subconsciously.
"That's the girl in the mecha," Lu Qi stripped off the vest of the Firefly mecha neatly. "Weren't you happy shopping with her before? What happened? Did a bad woman cheat you out of your money?"
The silly-looking gray-haired raccoon's mind was blank, as if it was overloaded, and he stared at Lu Qi stupidly.
"...What do you mean?" Qiong said anxiously, "Are you saying that the person in the mecha is Liuying? But I saw her being killed by the Memory Domain Meme before..."
"Are you stupid? This is a dream."
Pinocchio's "dream" is surrounded by a powerful force, so there is no true death. Even stowaways are protected by this power. This is the rule written in the dream, and everyone is protected by it.
The identity was unexpectedly exposed by Lu Qi, and the Firefly Mecha's movements became stiff. The battle that was about to break out was poured with a bucket of cold water, and both sides were speechless.
Qiong was still staring at the Firefly mecha in confusion, while Lu Qi looked at the other woman with long purple hair curiously.
The man saw Lu Qi staring at him and nodded at her calmly.
"Hello, I'm Huang Quan."
"My name is Lu Qi, and this is Dan Feng, Qiong's partner. Can you tell me how you got in?"
"I don't know," the woman named Huang Quan said. "Perhaps it was a trick played by a masked fool... When I woke up, I entered this dream hotel. Fortunately, I met them, so I didn't get lost any further."
She turned sideways and turned her attention back to the Firefly mecha.
Lu Qi ignored her and stared at the Firefly Mecha for several seconds, then suddenly realized something.
Isn't this the company's most wanted criminal, a member of the Star Core Hunters? She remembered his name was "Sam"?
It turns out that the person under the mecha is that fragile-looking little girl...
Lu Qi felt a little sorry.
Qiong seemed to care about the little girl very much. Even though the little girl seemed to have deceived him all the way, he still showed a happy expression when he found out that she was not dead.
The behavior of his friend dissuaded Lu Qi from the idea of kidnapping people in exchange for a bounty, and he shook his head regretfully.
"Want to catch?" Dan Feng asked her.
"Forget it. Catching and selling it would probably make Qiong angry... and Xianzhou doesn't have any bad blood with the Star Core Hunters, so let's just pretend we didn't see anything."
With her identity exposed right in front of her, there seemed little point in putting on an act. The firefly-colored mecha shed its armor, revealing the silver-haired girl beneath. Unlike her aggressive fighting stance while armed, her true form was rather shy and unfamiliar.
She didn't seem to be good at dealing with people, especially in her original form, like a baby exposed to danger, unable to fight back.
The rest of the time was left to Qiong and Liuying to solve on their own. They didn't need others to hear their lies and truths, so everyone else tactfully stepped aside.
However, for Lu Qi, there are still questions that need to be asked.
The mysterious Messenger of Yiting, wearing a veil, still had a smile on her face, without any sense of guilt for having done something wrong.
"Mr. Sanyueqi and Miss Jizi have returned to the Daydream Hotel," Lu Qi asked directly, "Then why is Qiong still lingering in the dream?"
Black Swan explained with a smile.
"He witnessed the little girl's death before him, and his mental state is unstable," the mysterious and elegant Reminiscer said. "Therefore, we can't use any too 'rough' methods to get him to leave for the time being."
Her explanation was well-reasoned, so Lu Qi turned to look at Dan Feng, who could also open a "portal".
Dan Feng nodded.
However, everyone's tolerance is different, and the mental impact is also different.
"I'll trust you this time," Lu Qi said, "but...if I see you doing anything to Qiong again, be careful with your goose feathers, Rememberer."
Faced with the threat, the Rememberer remained calm and gently curled the corners of his mouth.
"How could that be?"
Lord Long Zun with white hair and golden eyes left with another Meme Dragon Zun, and Black Swan sighed slightly with melancholy.
"What a vigilant figure..." she said slowly, "Even his memory..."
The memories hidden behind the iron wall cannot be retrieved, and the black swan has no intention of plucking the tiger's head.
It’s just a pity that due to the intervention of Lord Long Zun, her transaction with another person seems to have to be resolved in a different way.
In this way, the next time she sees Lord Longzun, she might have to take a detour.
I don’t know if this deal can make a profit?
***
"Hello, hello, are you done talking?" Lu Qika spoke when their expressions relaxed. Her cheerful voice interrupted their thoughts, and her sparkling golden eyes were like honey. "We should go back. Miss Liuying should have her own things to do, right?"
The silver-haired girl was startled by her, and then nodded stiffly.
She knew Lu Qi.
Lord Long Zun of Luofu Immortal Boat is the "variable" in Elio's script. Lord Long Zun's presence will not disrupt the direction of the script, but it may bring some shocks during this period.
Now Liuying finally understood the meaning of "fright"...
Her two companions had become different after returning from the Immortal Boat. Especially Blade, the immortal who was determined to die, had a burning fire in his eyes.
It was like finding a life-saving duckweed, and the colors of the world were dyed in my eyes.
Knowing that there was such a "variable" in Liuying's script, Kafka specifically asked Silver Wolf to bring a message, asking her not to hide too much from Long Zun, and to face this powerful man who was capable of overturning the chessboard with her truest side.
Perhaps Long Zun will be her helper.
At this moment, Vajra Dragon Lord made Liuying, who didn't know how to reveal her identity, say the word "I'm sorry".
When communicating with people, you can be sincere even without the mecha between you.
Qiong didn't blame her for hiding it, and even asked her if she was hurt.
...This is really a wonderful dream, so sweet that it can make people cry.
Speaking of which, Kafka's evaluation of Lu Qi is that he is ruthless to the wanted criminals' subordinates and will beat them up without saying a word.
Liuying was still wondering if she would be beaten for revealing her identity, but Lu Qi was unexpectedly kind to her, with no intention of making things difficult for her. She even gave Liuying and Qiong some space to clarify the situation, and even intervened when she was at a loss for words.
What a nice person.
Liuying was sure.
She had no intention of hiding anything from Lu Qi. She nodded to the Dragon Honored Girl and asked if she could have some private time to talk to her. She had something to say to Lu Qi.
"Huh? And me?" Lu Qi pointed at himself in confusion, "Are you sure it's me?"
"Yes," the silver-haired girl nodded firmly, "Just the two of us...is that okay?"
After entering the Dream Hotel, Lu Qi has been busy, and now he needs some alone time, which makes Dan Feng frown unhappily.
These people...are too much of a nuisance.
"Danfeng, can you send Qiong back first?"
"What topic is so foreign that I can't know?"
Knowing that the person he cared about was not dead and was still alive, even though the other party was a Star Core Hunter, Qiong acted as if he didn't care. He appeared anxiously, like a very curious little raccoon.
Lu Qi pressed down on his head without hesitation.
"Hurry back, Miss Jizi and Sanyueqi are going to be so worried."
The gray-haired raccoon could only be sent away dejectedly.
Dan Feng automatically moved away. Lu Qi thought about it and added a barrier out of concern to ensure that Dan Feng, who was not far away, could not hear anything.
As expected, he received an unhappy glare from the former Lord Long Zun.
"They can't hear you and me now," Lu Qi said, "Is there anything you want to tell me, little girl of the Star Core Hunter?"
The first thing Liuying did was not to gain Lu Qi's trust, but to directly share her "script" with her.
This was the first time Lu Qi saw the "script" of the Star Core Hunter. The last time she met Ren on the Luofu Fairy Boat, she didn't know what the "script" was at all and missed the opportunity to read it.
I didn't expect that when I came to Pinocchio, someone would come to my door.
Lu Qi quickly finished reading it. There was basically no useful information in Liuying's script. There were only a few short lines related to the Starry Sky Train. The explanation was that Liuying led the Starry Sky Train to pursue the "watchmaker's legacy."
"Is this your script?" Lu Qi flipped through it again and again. "But...what does it mean when it says three deaths?"
"Literally," Liuying explained honestly, "My 'death' is a necessary step."
"The script can't be changed?"
Liuying hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head.
She was actually much taller than Lu Qi, but she looked frail. Compared to the others present, she was indeed quite frail, after all, her extraordinary combat power came from her armored suit, "Sam."
If it was a hand-to-hand fight... Lu Qi thought about it and felt that Liuying could probably make Black Swan cry.
"Didn't you say I was a variable?" Lu Qi said, "Would you like to hire me and let me help you?"
Lu Qi stretched out his index finger and thumb, making a gesture to ask for money.
"Just give me the money. Star Core Hunters shouldn't be short of money, right?"
"If you do this... aren't you afraid that the Star Train might be harmed in its quest for the Watchmaker's Legacy?"
"Hmm...what about you?"
"What?"
"Don't you care about Qiong? Judging from your appearance, you knew each other before, right? And now he doesn't remember you... Aren't you afraid that the "script" will cause him to get hurt or even lose his life?"
"I……"
"Don't overthink it, little girl," Lu Qi said in a stern voice, extending his hand towards Liuying. "Leave it to me. You can completely ignore the 'three deaths' thing, right? As long as the story can roughly follow the same path and we get the ending you want, isn't that all that matters?"
The two-colored pupils were flowing with colors brighter than the light, and the Star Core Hunter girl with such beautiful colors stared blankly at the person in front of her.
Luofu Xianzhou, the legendary hero, is currently the Dragon Lord of the Chiming Clan due to some coincidences.
Her past was eventful, but after all that splendor, she was left with regrets.
And Dragon Lord is the flower that blooms again in this regret.
Why does life sleep?
Liuying has not found the answer yet, but at this moment, she may be able to give a different answer.
——To meet this flower that was reborn from the ashes.
