Give Star Iron a little MC shock

[16: 49]

Fortunately, they still have nearly seventeen hours left before the stellar core eruption predicted by Kafka. If everything goes smoothly, there is still time to stop the stellar core from erupting.

However, there is one thing that worries Walter.

As everyone knows, the Star Core Hunters have a slave to fate who can see the future through unknown means. Since it says that the Star Core will explode in eighteen hours, does that mean that they cannot stop the Star Core from exploding?

A few minutes later, Tingyun returned and greeted the three of them with a smile.

"Please come in, everyone. Lord Yu Kong is very interested in the Star Core Hunters you mentioned."

Meanwhile, on the other side, at Liuyun Ferry.

A blond man stood in a secluded corner of Liuyun Ferry, leaning against a huge white coffin behind him, waiting quietly.

A moment later, the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground came from behind. The blond man looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-haired woman with her eyes covered by a ribbon walking slowly towards him.

"Rakshasa, you should have brought the items in, right?"

Rakshasa smiled and casually spread his hands, saying, "Of course, this is an important piece of our game. Before it is handed over to its proper place, I will absolutely not allow it to suffer any accidents, Mirror Flow."

Jingliu didn't answer, but just stared at him with her eyes covered by ribbons, emanating a cold aura.

Luosha sighed silently and gently laid the white coffin that was leaning against the container behind her to the ground.

"Since you don't trust my delivery skills, then check it yourself."

With two clicks, Rakshasa opened the white coffin, revealing a star core inside with its light subdued.

Although Jingliu's eyes were covered, the cold aura emanating from her body subsided after she sensed the aura of the star core inside the coffin.

"It's good that the goods are still here."

“I told you,” Rakshasa smiled and shook his head, “Don’t doubt a merchant’s ability to protect his goods. With me here, nothing will go wrong.”

As soon as Rakshasa finished speaking, they suddenly heard a gurgling sound beside them.

Rakshasa initially thought it was Jingliu making a sound because he was hungry, but when he turned to look at Jingliu, he saw that Jingliu was also looking at him with some confusion.

Rakshasa frowned and looked to the other side, where a pair of long, slender black legs came into view.

Before the two could react, the black figure stretched out its long, slender hands and swiftly lifted the star core from the coffin.

Jingliu immediately drew the ice sword from his waist and slashed at the black figure.

But with a whoosh, the figure left behind some deep purple particle effects and teleported dozens of feet away.

Jingliu was also somewhat surprised. His sword strike hadn't hit this guy. He was incredibly fast!

Rakshasa finally realized what was happening, took off his sword, and frowned as he looked at the black figure with his back to them not far away.

"Who are you? And why are you trying to seize our goods?"

The only response he received was a gurgling sound that didn't sound human.

The next second, the black figure teleported away from the two of them again.

Jingliu's expression immediately sharpened. He leaped up, sword in hand, and chased after the direction in which the figure had disappeared, while also leaving a message for Rakshasa, who was still standing there.

"Chase them! The goods must not be lost!"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: As everyone knows, even Steve can't catch up with Blackie (Part Two)

Seeing that Jingliu had already chased after him, Luosha had no choice but to pick up the white coffin on his back again. However, he couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked in the direction where Jingliu and the black figure disappeared.

"Is that guy really human?"

A slender figure, arms that are almost as thin as legs, and an amazing ability to teleport.

It doesn't look human at all.

Jingliu, who had given chase, soon found Xiao Hei holding the Star Core in both hands on a rooftop.

Jing Liu silently landed behind Xiao Hei, raised his sword and pointed it at it, coldly saying, "That's not something you should touch. Hand it over, or I'll have to take action."

Xiao Hei turned around at the sound, staring at the black ribbon wrapped around Jing Liu's eyes, and only made a gurgling sound that was not meaningful.

Jingliu sensed something was off about the voice, so he frowned and tried to sense the other person's presence, but all he felt was emptiness.

"not human?"

The moment Jingliu came to this conclusion, he quickly swung his longsword, and two icy sword energies cut through everything in their path and flew towards Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei simply stood there quietly, and just as the two sword energies were about to hit it, it flashed and disappeared from the rooftop again, leaving only a few dark purple particle effects behind.

So fast!

Xiao Hei's teleportation speed surprised Jing Liu. She didn't expect that the opponent would not choose to dodge in advance but only dodge when the sword energy was about to hit.

Is this a disrespectful attitude towards her?

Jingliu was somewhat annoyed, but she had already lost Xiao Hei's presence in her senses, indicating that he had obviously escaped from this place.

Jingliu sighed deeply, sensing that things were gradually becoming more complicated.

The loss of the Star Core means that their plans have been thwarted. If they cannot find the Star Core in time, their plan to bring [Destruction] into the game will be ruined.

"Kyoryu, did you catch that guy?"

Rakshasa arrived late and saw Jingliu standing alone on the roof, still wielding his sword. Rakshasa's heart sank.

Jingliu sheathed his longsword and said coldly, "It ran away. It's very strong. If it's determined to escape, I can't stop it at all. Right now, we need to find the star core as soon as possible."

Luocha stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Before the plan begins, we cannot act recklessly in Luofu. Moreover, if others know about the existence of the Star Core, it may cause trouble. In particular, we cannot let the general of Luofu know about this."

Jingliu was getting impatient: "After all that talk, do you have any good ideas?"

After thinking for a moment, Rakshasa had an idea.

"Yes, there is indeed a way; we can just have someone help us find it."

"Who?"

"Of course, it's ordinary people who are interested in paranormal stories."

----------------------

Tingyun led Xinghe and the others into a side hall inside the Sichen Palace. In the side hall, a woman of the same fox-human race as Tingyun was already sitting at the head of the table, waiting for them.

Upon seeing Xing He and his group enter, the woman rose from her seat and came over to greet them.

"You must be the guests of the Starry Sky Train? Please have a seat."

"Hello, Ms. Yu Kong."

As the leader of the pioneering team, Walter naturally took on diplomatic matters. After a brief handshake with Yu Kong, the two sat down on either side of the long table, and Ting Yun also remained at the scene.

Yu Kong glanced at Walter and the other two, then got straight to the point: "I heard from Ting Yun that the three of you have something to tell the Sky Ship Bureau about the Star Core Hunters?"

Valte nodded: "To be precise, any high-ranking member of the Immortal Ship Luofu is acceptable. Please watch this video for details, Ms. Yu Kong."

Walter took out his phone and played the video he had retrieved from the Starry Sky Train system beforehand for Yu Kong to see. He had specially prepared this video of the train carriage to increase the authenticity of the event.

Yu Kong and Ting Yun watched the video intently. After a while, both women frowned, clearly surprised by what Kafka said in the video.

A few minutes later, the video finished playing, and Val put his phone away.

"Does Ms. Yu Kong now believe what we're saying?"

Yu Kong rubbed his nose, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "I didn't expect the Star Core Hunters to dare to target Luo Fu, and even bring Star Cores in on purpose. Aren't they afraid of the [Patrol]'s revenge?"

Walter, however, had a different opinion: "Ms. Skywalker, I think the Star Core may have nothing to do with the Star Core Hunters. They have no reason to risk being retaliated against by the [Hunters] by bringing the Star Core into the Immortal Ship, and then go through all the trouble of informing us about the Star Train."

Yu Kong also felt that Walter's words made sense: "Yes, Mr. Walter is right, but what is the purpose of the Star Core Hunters doing all this? I can't think of any benefit they can gain from it."

Walter was also puzzled by this question: "That's what we're curious about too."

Several people gathered in the conference room, racking their brains but still unable to guess what the Star Core Hunter's purpose was. Yu Kong then decided to end the meeting and report the matter to his superiors.

"Since we can't guess the Star Core Hunter's purpose, let's just capture him and interrogate him. I will report the matter of the Star Core and the Star Core Hunter to the general, and the Cloud Cavalry will take charge of this matter afterward."

After saying that, Yu Kong stood up from his seat, and Walter and the others also stood up.

"Ms. Yu Kong, is there anything we can do to help?"

Yu Kong shook his head: "This is an internal matter of the Immortal Ship, no need for you to worry about it."

March 7th frowned slightly in surprise: "But Lord Sky Soarer, there are only a dozen hours left until the Star Core Explosion time mentioned by the Star Core Hunter. If we don't hurry..."

Before March 7th could finish speaking, Yu Kong raised his hand to interrupt him: "Please trust Luo Fu's abilities. With the Tai Bu Si, who is skilled in divination, the Star Core Hunter and the Star Core will soon be captured. You guests have come from afar, so please enjoy the beautiful scenery of Luo Fu."

Then Yu Kong turned his head to look at Ting Yun beside him: "Ting Yun, you are in charge of entertaining these guests."

"Yes, Lord Sky Soarer."

Tingyun nodded and walked up to the three of them, smiling and gesturing, "Please come with me, everyone. I'll help you arrange your accommodations."

Seeing that Yu Kong was unwilling to let them interfere, Walter sighed helplessly and led San Yueqi and Xing He to follow Tingyun.

Tingyun led the group to an inn near Sichen Palace: "Gentlemen, this is the best inn in Luofu. I have arranged the best rooms for you. Please make yourselves at home. All your expenses in Luofu will be paid by Sichen Palace."

Walter nodded to Tingyun: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Tingyun and Ms. Yukong."

"You're welcome. After all, you are nameless passengers on the Star Train. The name 'nameless passenger' is highly praised in the universe. If there's nothing else, please excuse me for taking my leave. If you need anything, you can contact me through this number."

After exchanging contact information with the three, Tingyun left.

As soon as Tingyun left, Xing He couldn't help but ask Walter, "Uncle Yang, are we really not going to do anything?"

Walter was also somewhat troubled: "The Sky Ship Bureau is unwilling to let the Starry Sky Train get involved. If we act rashly, it may displease the Immortal Ship Alliance."

"Huh? We came here to help, but it feels like we're being treated like bad guys?"

On March 7th, slightly annoyed, she kicked at the pebbles at her feet. Suddenly, she remembered Xing He's method of locating the star core on Yalilo, and quickly turned to Xing He, asking, "Xing He, can you use your magical power to locate the star core again?"

Xing He opened the mini-map and glanced at it, almost triggering his trypophobia from the dense list of names and entity names on the mini-map.
