Robin: "We Have to Meet in Person Tomorrow!" / Lin Shuang: "I Feel Like I Need to Cut Something Up Lately"
Although Lin Shuang had these thoughts on her mind, she quickly responded with the Firefly.
[Lin Shuang: I'm still here, but the Xianzhou has been checking people in and out quite strictly lately. How about we meet somewhere else?]
[Firefly:...]
[Firefly: No need, I'll arrive tomorrow. I hope to meet Miss Lin.]
[Lin Shuang: That works too.]
[Firefly: See you tomorrow, Miss Lin.]
At this time.
Firefly was still wearing makeup, sitting in her car. She had just finished an interview and contacted Lin Shuang afterward.
She swiped open a chat window and glanced at the scheduled Spaceship time.
She doesn't have much free time. Even though she doesn't have singing work during this period, she's never short of other jobs such as interviews, advertisements, and various charity events.
Furthermore, they went to great lengths to keep their itinerary confidential.
This Spaceship didn't belong to her either, and she had no direct contact with the company.
Overall, it would be very inconvenient to change your itinerary at the last minute.
The Firefly had set its sights on the Xianzhou, and had naturally heard some rumors about it over the past two days.
But there was no other way; if the time dragged on any longer, she wouldn't have much free time, and she would soon have to go back to Penacony to make preparations.
While she was away alone, her investigation into Penacony remained unresolved.
Because she needed to be wary of internal traitors, she almost never relied on her Brother's influence to get things done.
Lin Shuang is the only clue she has encountered so far.
The Firefly couldn't let this opportunity pass.
Ideally, Lin Shuang should be brought into the game and made one of our own.
If there are enemies within the Family, then the assistance of external forces is inevitable, and Lin Shuang might be a good choice.
The Firefly wasn't sure, of course, but she wanted to take a gamble.
So the Firefly is definitely going on this Xianzhou journey.
Lin Shuang, aboard the Xianzhou, had no idea what the Firefly's mindset was in preparing to meet her.
Anyway, she was figuring out how to Firefly into sending her an Invitation so she could go to Penacony and have some fun.
Of the Twelve Hours slots available, only a few were actually open in the game, but Lin Shuang still really wanted to explore them thoroughly.
As for the true situation of Penacony, Lin Shuang thought about the lineup in the game.
The company, the Acheron, the Astral Express Crew, the Memokeeper —just the outsiders she remembered all possessed extraordinary skills.
How outrageous can the mastermind behind Penacony be? Can he withstand several blows from the Acheron?
Even if he's incredibly powerful, can he conjure up an Aeon for you?
So Lin Shuang wasn't too worried; in fact, she was quite curious about what would happen if she were stabbed to death in her dream.
"Let's do a Firefly the robin first, and let me also see what's really going on with this Penacony. Are you and your brother-in-law really undercover agents?"
To be honest, although the Penacony Family is a large group, the Penacony natives who make a proper appearance in the entire prologue are Firefly and Sunday.
Following the logic of storytelling, a screenwriter of average skill would definitely introduce the murderer early on; they can't just suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Lin Shuang had also read some analyses at the time and guessed that her brother-in-law was the traitor.
And it also perfectly matches Miss March 7th's classic pre-match rhetoric.
That 'family members turning against each other' rule.
Although the Family can barely be considered a family, the fact that relatives turned against each other seems Firefly and Sunday.
Of course, it's also possible that it was written this way intentionally to mislead the audience.
In short, if we can gain some insights from the Firefly, then...
We might get some important clues.
But that Tarot Cards deck wasn't of high quality, so I don't know how much it could predict.
At the same time.
On a planet very close to the Xianzhou.
A woman sat in a café in Starport, drinking something.
She looked out the window at the Spaceship rising and falling.
He glanced down again at the message from the Abundant Doses Teachings.
The recent unrest in Xianzhou has been quite significant. Although there's not much trouble among the common people, almost all Six Commissions are caught in the turmoil of power transitions.
The only saving grace is that none of the top leaders of the Six Commissions have any problems.
This ensured the normal operation of the Six Commissions to a certain extent.
According to the report, the Chief the Abundant Doses's teachings also passed this screening safely.
But.
"Did you really manage to dodge it? Does Jing Yuan think I'm a fool?"
Phantylia chuckled. Jing Yuan wasn't stupid; Lin Shuang clearly already knew many secrets.
Phantylia doesn't believe that the Xianzhou side is completely unaware of the situation.
They're probably fishing right now.
The Six Commissions were thrown into turmoil. Although the Cloud Knights was under martial law, it was also clear that much of their attention had been diverted.
Furthermore, the Abundant Doses were also involved in this charade.
If we're talking about taking action, now is truly a good opportunity.
But Phantylia is not a reckless person.
The Xianzhou didn't go for the kill was simply because it was wary of him.
The clues to the Abundant Doses have been cut off, which is equivalent to cutting off all leads to her. Naturally, the Xianzhou cannot remain on guard indefinitely.
But is the Six Commissions the Xianzhou truly in such turmoil?
Recently, many of the informants in the Abundant Doses Teachings have been eliminated, and some information within the Six Commissions has become less clear.
There's a lot that can be done in this area.
"But Lin Shuang... cannot be allowed to live."
We still need to go to the Xianzhou.
But Phantylia couldn't let the Abundant Doses know.
The sole purpose of this trip is to find Lin Shuang and replace her.
According to intelligence, Lin Shuang seems to have used some method to utilize the power of Heliobus.
After replacing her, Phantylia could even use her power at will without worrying about being exposed.
Even after obtaining the intelligence, Phantylia had considered changing his target for possession to Lin Shuang.
The reason for the delay is simply to gather more intelligence and wait for a suitable opportunity.
Now, the Luofu Cloud Cavalry is not only conducting an internal investigation, but has also divided its forces among the other five departments.
Although it dealt a blow to the Abundant Doses, what does it matter to her? The Abundant Doses are just a pawn in the game.
On the contrary, the Xianzhou itself inexplicably went into chaos; how could such a thing happen with Jing Yuan's abilities?
They simply want to use this incident to achieve some kind of goal.
Ultimately, whatever Jing Yuan's plan may be, the current management of Xianzhou Luofu has indeed experienced some turmoil, allowing the Abundant Doses to take advantage of the chaos.
For Phantylia, this was a good opportunity to get to know Lin Shuang.
Judging from the information passed down from the Abundant Doses, Lin Shuang's physical condition is quite good, and she might be a good choice as a vessel.
"Lin Shuang, oh Lin Shuang, tomorrow you'll receive the blessing of Destruction, hehe~"
Phantylia chuckled softly, put down her drink, and stood up gracefully.
He walked to a deserted corner, burned his current body to ashes, and then possessed the body of a passenger who was already targeted and intended to travel to Luofu.
Phantylia's overwhelming strength allowed him to effortlessly seize complete control of the body, while to outsiders it appeared as if the traveler had simply been spacing out for a moment.
Volume 1: Chapter 125 Lin Shuang: I have a feeling that something needs to be cut recently
Just as Lin Shuang was preparing to go back.
A message came from the Crafting Division saying that the sword the general had commissioned had been forged.
It depends on whether Lin Shuang needs it delivered directly to her residence or picks it up herself.
Since Lin Shuang had nothing better to do anyway, she naturally chose to go and get it herself.
So after informing Master Gongshu of the Crafting Division, he summoned Starskiff to rush to the Crafting Division immediately.
After finding Master Gongshu.
Before Lin Shuang could speak, Master Gongshu hurriedly beckoned Lin Shuang to go inside.
"You've arrived quickly. I knew you wouldn't use Aurumaton Envoy to transport it. This sword of yours is a masterpiece of Crafting Division! Come and take a look."
As he spoke, Master Gongshu was quite excited and seemed very satisfied with the sword.
"Master Gongshu, please calm down."
"Hey—I see you're a swordsman yourself, so don't you feel any attraction to this precious sword? That young man from the Divination Department is obsessed with swords; I always thought the stronger the swordsman, the more so."
Master Gongshu looks quite old, but he has a rather lively personality.
Lin Shuang followed Master Gongshu towards the warehouse, somewhat amused.
Before long, they found the five-foot-long Greatsword in the storeroom where the swords were kept.
The blade is about the width of a palm, mainly light blue, with a simple yet exquisite design, and the blade is engraved with patterns in the style of Luofu.
Compared to the Greatsword Lin Shuang herself used, the blade of this sword was relatively slender.
Lin Shuang gripped the sword hilt with one hand, feeling the warmth emanating from her palm.
With a slight effort, the Greatsword felt heavy in her hand, but Lin Shuang could still wield it with ease.
Laugh--
The greatsword in Lin Shuang's hand instantly became a blur, accompanied by the sound of air being cut, and seemed to streak across the air like a cold light.
Then came flames, extreme cold, shockwaves, light... and even the Power of the Permanence.
The Greatsword has excellent energy conductivity, and it can withstand Lin Shuang's massive energy infusion.
It works!
Lin Shuang's eyes lit up. Now, she could finally ignore that Greatsword with its own 'background music' and be a quiet and handsome Swordsman.
Her ideal is someone like Acheron, ruthless and taciturn, not someone who brings their own speakers every time they draw their sword and does some cringeworthy, childish things.
Now! She finally has a normal primary weapon.
"It is indeed a wonderful sword. Thank you for your help, Master Gongshu."
"Haha~ No problem, no problem at all. As long as you find it easy to use, that's the best way for a craftsman to express his gratitude."
Master Gongshu originally wanted to extol the sword's exquisite features even more.
