Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"The seriousness of this case is such that even the general, if he could extricate himself, would probably have to personally intervene, let alone me."

Yu Kong's expression turned serious again.

"But of the two suspects at the moment, one refuses to cooperate with the investigation, and the other remains completely silent."

Luca just heard about the 102 lives lost, and it is indeed very serious.

He found it hard to believe that all of this was connected to the seemingly harmless Miss Shemo, but one cannot judge a book by its cover...

Judging from the attitudes of the Cloud Riders, the jailers, and the captain of the Sky Ship, the Bu Li people are a very dangerous and brutal species, and they can even disguise themselves.

“Miss Shemo, is she really Bu Liren?” Luca asked.

"Mm." Yu Kong nodded.

"After verification by Mr. Yan Huan and the Ten Kings, the suspect Shemo is indeed a Bu Li person."

"..." Hearing this, Luca felt a little heavy-hearted and asked Shemo, who was surrounded and guarded:

“Miss Shemo, you told me before the duel that you would fight for the monks and children of Danlun Temple. Were you lying to me?”

Shemo shook his head.

“I am a monastic monk of Danlun Temple, and I never tell lies.”

The underworld messenger beside him interjected:

“We confirmed the identity of the monk from Shemadanlun Temple through the documents she carried and the rings she wore.”

Yu Kong's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Danlun Temple..."

“I’ve heard of this temple.”

“A group of people from Buli live in seclusion, observing strict precepts and forbidding the killing of any living beings.”

"They built a temple to escape the war...it sounds more beautiful than a fairy tale."

She raised her head and looked at Shemo in front of her.

"But now, this fairy tale has been shattered because of you, Shemo."

“The Bu Li people can never change their bloodthirsty nature. Even if you disguise yourself as a fox, you can never become one of us.”

Chapter 1035 How can one obtain this power?

"I... I just wanted to petition Senshu during the martial arts ceremony... so that you could hear the voice of Tanrinji Temple."

Shemo looked sad.

"If I appeared in my true form, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to climb Mount Luofu."

Yu Kong shook his head.

"Whatever your wish is, you will not have the chance to have it fulfilled."

"Tanrin-ji Temple will be utterly disgraced because of the bloodshed you committed, and petitions will be out of the question."

"And all of this was ruined by you."

“Me…?” Shemo felt very wronged.

Seeing her like this, Luca quickly asked the little robot beside him, "Miss Shemo wasn't lying, was she, Mr. Mech?"

Good Departure replied:

"...Current situation: I uphold the precepts and do not answer questions from anyone other than Shama."

Seeing that the two refused to speak and were about to be judged as criminals by the prison, Luca couldn't understand it at all.

If you really didn't do anything wrong, why not defend yourself?

“Mr. Intelligent Machine, if you and Miss Shemo are found guilty for adhering to the precepts, Tanrin Temple will also be implicated.”

“Your precepts are upheld for the sake of Tanrin-ji Temple, not for the sake of destroying it.”

After a moment of silence, Good Deeds replied:

"...The inference is reasonable."

"I killed those 102 people. Please ask me questions."

"???" Luca was taken aback.

No, I asked you to explain, and you just admitted it right away?!

The gazes of the surrounding airborne warriors and other underworld messengers also became sharper.

“…Good Gone!” Shama scolded.

"You promised me you wouldn't expose yourself to danger!"

The little robot remained calm.

"Do not panic, Shemo."

"Proposal: I will show you my historical records, hoping that the Immortal Boat Alliance can reconsider Danlun Temple's petition after studying this data."

Upon hearing this, Yu Kong forced a smile at Luca, "We've finally managed to get them to talk. Thank you, Luca."

"Uh... I was just saying." Luca scratched his head.

Yu Kong then looked at the little robot:

“I won’t make any promises to the omnic. But you can trust me; honest communication is always better than rigidly adhering to rules.”

"...The transaction is complete," Good Departed replied.

The underworld messenger next to him took out a tablet and began to record:

"Then, begin your confession."

The little robot glanced at everyone.

"Proposal: Confessions, as an extension of language, are too primitive in their transmission efficiency."

"I will use a more efficient way to synchronize my data with everyone."

"Wavelength adjustment complete. Memory permissions changed. Synesthesia beacon synchronization initiated."

A screen of light appeared before everyone and began playing memories of the Good-Gone.

"There's TV again?!"

Yan Huan quickly appeared beside Yu Kong, staring at the screen that had suddenly appeared in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Xianzhou is always busy. The last time there were so many spectators, it was with an old sword."

Yu Kong seemed unsurprised by Yan Huan's arrival, and slightly opened his mouth, "Mr. Yan Huan, please join us in listening to the confession of this intelligent machine, and let us hear your conclusion."

……

The picture was pitch black.

Some of the color was then restored.

"Look, the remains of a war machine!" Samo exclaimed as he gazed at the sleeping Sudatta.

Her master, standing to her left, noticed something amiss:

"It is the core of some larger machine, which is damaged and has entered a dormant state."

"If we gather some of the surrounding parts, he might still be saved."

The protector Vishnu standing to her right crossed his arms and said disdainfully:

“Master Tuona, if you ask me, why waste time on cold metal?”

"A machine is ultimately just a machine. No matter how fluently it can communicate with a person, it can never understand the other person's thoughts."

"Moreover, this is something left over from the Imperial Wars, and the karma it created is extremely heavy."

Master Tuona shook his head.

"Whether intelligent machines belong to sentient beings or insentient beings is something that my dull wisdom cannot fathom."

"But whether or not to save him can be decided by the kindness in our hearts."

She looked at Shemo beside her, "Come help me."

"Yes, Master Tuona."

The two of them worked together, piecing the parts back together, and after a while, they actually managed to fix the little robot.

"Quiet down, it's awake."

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the small robot slowly activated.

"Command: Vanguard 0089, diagnose the machine's condition."

"The machine is severely damaged and cannot support this unit in combat."

"Negative: Organic life was detected, overriding the above conclusion."

"Command: Take over surrounding mechs and enter annihilation mode."

The little robot suddenly flew up and launched an attack on Shemo and his two companions.

"Annihilate! Annihilate! Annihilate!!"

As the master, Tuona remained calm. "The remnants of anti-organic life, is this the first time I've seen it... Oh well, it's not that they are beyond redemption."

The Bu Li people, who are skilled in battle, are never afraid of fighting.

The little robot finally calmed down after being beaten by the three of them in turn.

"Phew... What a formidable iron contraption!" Guardian Vili rubbed his arm. "It can even control the surrounding machines to beat us up, but it's just scrap metal after all, not as sharp as our claws and teeth, hahahaha!"

Master Tuona scolded:

“As a monk who is dedicated to protecting the Dharma, how can I indulge in the pleasures of fighting?”

The Dharma Protector, Bhiri, quickly composed himself and nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Ahem, you're right. Ah, this iron thing has woken up again."
