Chapter 578

"Oh, I see."

Lin Yu, who had been watching Tingyun intently, suddenly chuckled and said.

"I thought Miss Tingyun would say something like, 'If you don't give a reasonable explanation, we'll have the Cloud Knights escort you all for a while.'"

"Well, isn't it because the Cloud Knights brothers can't beat our Benefactor?"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Tingyun spoke quite frankly.

"The Cloud Knights brothers have already done their best to defend against the enemy. If I were to cause them any more trouble at this time, it would be something that no Xianzhou native should do."

Listening to Tingyun's answer, Lin Yu, combined with the judgment aided by the Swaying Scales, confirmed one thing.

The Tingyun before him was indeed Tingyun himself; Phantylia had not yet encountered a Tingyun.

In the storyline, Tingyun, who appears at the Spaceport, and Phantylia, who appears later, are actually not the same person at all, based on the details.

Tingyun, who had met the Stellaron Hunters earlier, was very grateful to the Stellaron Hunters and its crew for saving her life, but she still immediately chose to ask the train crew for their purpose.

As a local of Xianzhou, Tingyun's actions might seem a bit cold-hearted, but considering the crisis Xianzhou was facing at the time, her reaction was perfectly normal.

Furthermore, judging from the later plot, when Tingyun criticizes Yukong on March 7th, she will take the initiative to speak up for Yukong, which is consistent with Tingyun's identity Yukong.

They're not very proactive in their work; they're practically halfway to becoming a slacker.

After witnessing the Cloud Knights's misfortune, he will directly question Kafka, who used her Word of Power to control the Cloud Knights.

It can be said that the true Tingyun is clearly a native of Xianzhou, as can be seen from the details.

While Lin Yu was talking to Tingyun, he noticed that Tingyun Lin Yu genuinely testing him.

After confirming that he would not pose a further threat to the Immortal Ship for the time being, she breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.

As for those Cloud Knights, Tingyun was genuinely worried that something might happen to them again.

As the ferryman of the merchant corps of Luofu Shipwright Department, Tingyun was a public servant who received a government salary, so he would definitely care about soldiers.

As for how many flaws appeared on Phantylia at that time...

In terms of attitude, she was completely indifferent to the safety of the Immortal Ship. When recounting the history of the Immortal Ship's great crisis, her tone was completely like that of an outsider, which was really unlike that of Xianzhou native.

If the pioneers had questioned Yukong back then, Huanlong, who had already successfully hacked the Phantylia, would never have said a word in Yukong —she hadn't been like that before.

He suddenly became more proactive in his work, clearly shedding his "slacker" persona.

He no longer cared about the Cloud Knights, Tingyun stark contrast to Cloud Knights had previously shown such concern for them... oh no, he was completely different.

Furthermore, in text message exchanges, they suddenly showed a positive attitude towards immortality.

It can only be said that if the train crew hadn't been so busy rescuing people on the Luofu Xianzhou, and if they hadn't just met Tingyun, then the details Phantylia revealed might have been exposed if they had encountered someone Tingyun knew.

But now the situation is different. Lin Yu not only knew the script in advance, but also had fellow players from the world he was in before he died, who helped him organize the details and speculate on various possibilities.

In this situation, distinguishing between Phantylia and Tingyun would be much simpler for him than it was for the train crew in the original story.

After confirming that the other party was indeed the real person, Lin Yu immediately mobilized his strongest power and planted a sufficiently powerful corrosive force within Tingyun's body.

Although fishing is a terrible way to deal with Tingyun, Lin Yu thinks that compared to protecting Tingyun in a big way now and then having Phantylia possess someone else, which might lead to even bigger problems, this method is... not the worst move.

However, since he has chosen to use Tingyun as bait, he must ensure Tingyun's security.

Miss Foxian was an innocent and unlucky soul. If he knew that the other party might be in trouble and still chose to let Phantylia do as he pleased, resulting in the other party's immediate death, he felt that he had already gone too far and would be no different from a newborn at that time.

Sigh, I had to hold back a bit when I was in Belobog, but once I got to Xianzhou, I felt like even going all out wouldn't guarantee a consistent victory.

In a sense, I've been reincarnated into another world, so now...

—Now that we're in another world, it's time to show our true abilities.

Meanwhile, in a certain place in Luofu Xianzhou

Within a certain area of the Immortal Ship, Kafka looked at the Silver Wolf that appeared before her and asked Silver Wolf softly.

"What's the situation now?"

"We can't confirm Blade's location yet, but the group from the Stellaron Hunters has indeed arrived at the Luofu Xianzhou."

Thinking of his previous experience of being humiliated by the other party, Silver Wolf gave Kafka a rare reminder.

"Be careful, I have a feeling this isn't as simple as it seems."

"That guy's methods are too unusual. I even suspect that he's not engaging in electronic warfare with me at all, but rather bypassing my defenses through other means to launch a direct attack on me from another level."

"... Okay, I've got it."

"You'd better really remember that."

Seeing Kafka's somewhat perfunctory attitude, Silver Wolf had no intention of letting his guard down at all.

"If something goes wrong with you on this mission, I'm not confident I can get you out of there."

Don't worry.

Seeing the worried look on Silver Wolf's face, Kafka chuckled and said.

"Acheron's prophecy will not be wrong, and..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kafka suddenly gave Silver Wolf an apologetic smile and then abruptly ended the communication.

Seeing Kafka's actions, Silver Wolf knew that she must have discovered something.

But now, the girl who has been with the Stellaron Hunters the shortest time really feels that everyone's trust in Acheron has reached an excessively fanatical level.

As for Kafka, who remained where she was, she held her breath and tried to conceal herself while carefully listening to the sounds around her.

From where she was hiding, a blond man carrying a huge object walked steadily past her.

Just before the man left, Kafka could sense that he had definitely done something the moment he stopped.

It's been discovered.

Having made this judgment, Kafka even gripped her gun and sword tightly, ready for direct combat.

However, the other party only stayed for a second before leaving the area.

"... Luofu Xianzhou, this area is indeed a dangerous place."

After the other party left, Kafka, realizing that the Pathstrider was no weakling, shook her head slightly and tried her best to maintain her best condition before taking action.

Although she firmly believed in Acheron's prophecy, it didn't mean that having Acheron's prophecy allowed her to approach each mission objective with the utmost indifference.

This universe is vast and dangerous; no one knows what unexpected events she might encounter during this mission.

So this time...

After the image of the gray-haired girl appeared in her mind, Kafka smiled helplessly and banished the face from her mind.

After confirming that Lin Yu was a powerful figure, Kafka felt much more at ease.

With his protection, the child would face far fewer dangers.

Approximately two hours later, on the Luofu Xianzhou, at the Palace of Astrum...

Inside the Palace of Astrum, after the initial pleasantries, Yukong, the highest-ranking official of the Shipwright Department, tentatively confirmed that the group of people brought by Tingyun were indeed the nameless passengers of the Stellaron Hunters.

After confirming the information he wanted to know, Yukong addressed the crowd with an air of authority.

"I have learned of your purpose in coming here. First of all, on behalf of Luofu Xianzhou, I would like to thank you all for your great help."

"Now that you all know about the Star Core and have stated your intention to help our Luofu Xianzhou, it is both morally and logically my duty to give you a face-to-face opportunity..."

"—I've come to personally decline everyone's help."

After Tingyun's probing, everyone except March 7th was not at all surprised by Yukong's xenophobic attitude.

After all, compared to a planet like Belobog, which is not even considered a rural area, Luofu Xianzhou is truly under the jurisdiction of a major power.

In this situation, if someone suddenly appears out of nowhere in Luofu and says, "We're here to help you"—and they accept that immediately, then something really fishy is going on.

"This...!"

Hearing Yukong's heartless words, March 7th wanted to argue.

However, considering that Lin Yu hadn't said anything yet, and that March 7th had already subconsciously assumed that "Lin Yu definitely has a way," they decided to first see what Lin Yu, the captain whom everyone had tacitly agreed to, was going to say.

However, before Lin Yu could speak, Yukong immediately added to the crowd.

"In addition, considering some special reasons, we would like to ask you all to stay on our Luofu Xianzhou for the time being."

"During this period, our Luofu Xianzhou will treat you with the highest level of hospitality. After the event is over, we will naturally send you away from here."

"Hey! This is going too far!"

This time, March 7th really couldn't hold back anymore regarding Yukong's excessive attitude.

"We came to help you out of kindness, and this is how you treat us!"

"Kindness?"

Hearing March 7th's rebuke, Yukong said calmly.

"Perhaps you all have good intentions, but you were able to land safely in Luofu not through any legitimate channels."

"I retrieved the entry and exit records of the Star-chariot Sea. Not long ago, someone hacked into the system, opened the Jade Gate, and guided a ship into the port. That was you: the Stellaron Hunters."

"Even the hacker who broke into the Luofu management system left a provocative stamp. According to the analysis, the owner of this stamp is Silver Wolf, a member of the Stellaron Hunters, who would leave such a provocative mark."

At this point, Yukong looked at the speechless March 7th and then turned his gaze to Lin Yu, who was clearly the team leader.

"Mr. Lin Yu, what is your explanation for this matter?"

Is an explanation necessary?

Facing this Foxian- woman, even though he knew her attitude was quite normal, Lin Yu, feeling his patience was running out, asked Yukong a question.

"I, Lin Yu, came here purely to reduce the number of deaths on the Immortal Ship, but upon entering, I've been subjected to relentless questioning from your people using various pretexts. I'm quite curious..."

"When did the hospitality of the Immortal Ship become so bad?"

"Oh, Your Excellency's attitude does indeed suggest that you are quite dissatisfied."

At this moment, Yukong narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Lin Yu in a soft voice.

"Can I take this statement as a provocation against our Luofu Xianzhou?"

"Well..."

Seeing Lin Yu hesitate for a moment, Yukong felt that it was about time.

What she said was indeed mostly what she meant, but that doesn't mean her task was actually to drive the other party away.

As we all know, when negotiating with people, you need a good cop and a bad cop. Yukong a high but not the highest position, is suitable to be the bad cop who offends people.

At roughly the same time, her superior, General Jing Yuan, would step in to smooth things over, and then smoothly begin to deploy the surprise force he hoped to use.

But at that very moment, Yukong heard something from Lin Yu that she had never expected.

"Sure."

At that moment, the other staff members in the distance of Palace of Astrum did not sense anything was wrong.

However, Yukong, who was standing in front of Lin Yu, suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying aura emanating from Lin Yu and locking onto Yukong's body.

"The Luofu Xianzhou is now in grave danger. If Miss Yukong believes that continuing to waste time with us here is what the Luofu Xianzhou should do, then now..."

"I don't mind stretching my muscles a little and making a tiny mistake."

PS: 9K, let's continue tonight.

"The man is in the Iron Fortress, and Divine Might Hard to Hide Tears."

Upon arriving at the Star Rail, A Fei obtained a quest panel. By completing quests, he could obtain various rewards.

But why did I get Obito's character card at the start?

"A person will experience three stages of growth in their life. The first is understanding right and wrong."

In Belobog, he wore a tiger-skin mask and mysteriously disappeared after assassinating the Supreme Guardian.
