Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"What...do you want?"

“Rakshasa, Mirror Stream, and Remains of Reproduction.” Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and added, “The main thing is the Remains of Reproduction. I only want Mirror Stream and Rakshasa to make sure they are harmless. I don’t care if they have nothing to do with the end.”

"...Okay, I will pass on the message to the Marshal."

Jing Yuan concluded.

"Then I'll hope you don't bring me any unpleasant news."

Jiang Jiu said in a somewhat Buddhist-like manner.

After all, the main focus of this storyline isn't the fairy ship, but the train crew's inexplicable apocalyptic future.

In any case, the fate of the Immortal Ship has already been sealed once. Ruan Mei has no chance of creating a Life Star God, and reproduction will definitely be resolved.

Therefore, it's best to save some effort.

If there's absolutely no other way, then we'll have to deal with extreme problems in extreme ways.

......

Chapter 171 The Sea Patrol Knight - Sai Fei'er!

Onpharos.

"Yes, the timeline is so messy, I've forgotten."

Jiang Jiu sat on the sofa, looking utterly dejected.

"If I hadn't checked the current location of the Star Train, I wouldn't have remembered that the time when Mirror Stream was sent to Jade Palace was also the time when the Star Train left Pinocone for the next planet."

Xi Lian placed a cup of tea in front of Jiang Jiu.

"Don't worry, in my opinion, although the time is a bit tight, we still have enough time, don't we?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head.

"Then the immortal ship needs to speed up even more, going to operate on two fronts simultaneously? That's interesting."

"What are you discussing? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Bai E walked over from not far away. He was wearing loose sportswear and his back was to the sun, making him look very sunny.

"You seem to be in a difficult position."

Jiang Jiu rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before asking, "Speaking of which... it's been thousands of years, hasn't it? How come you haven't changed much?"

"The reasons are somewhat complicated."

"I won't ask about anything complicated," Jiang Jiu said nonchalantly. "It's good that everyone's here."

Bai E picked up a cup and poured himself a glass of water, his movements as natural as if he were at home.

Well... in a sense, this really is his home.

“But speaking of which, Jiang Jiu, you don’t seem to have changed at all.” Bai E said, looking at Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu blinked and said calmly, "I've been asleep for thousands of years. Strictly speaking, for me, our last meeting was only a few days ago."

"You're dealing with something important as soon as you wake up?" Bai E asked.

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "If I hadn't had to deal with these things, I wouldn't have woken up now, so... it's better not to expect to see me."

"Don't say that..."

Seeing that Bai E was trying to appease him, Jiang Jiu shook his head.

"That's not what I came here to talk about."

Xi Lian asked curiously, "So what do you want to do? If there's anything we can do to help, please feel free to ask!"

"No, not really, I just..."

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, and was about to speak, but suddenly paused.

What was Leonphalus doing again?

"What is it?" Bai E pressed.

Jiang Jiu: "..."

He was silent for two seconds, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"forget."

Bai E: "Huh???"

Bai Er paused for a moment while holding the water glass.

"...Forgot?"

He subconsciously repeated the two words, his tone full of disbelief, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

But Jiang Jiu nodded calmly.

"Hmm, I forgot, it's not important."

Xi Lian blinked, her usually smiling eyes now showing a thoughtful expression.

"Jiang Jiu," her voice remained gentle, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible seriousness, "Have you... been doing this often lately?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent for two seconds.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the sky over Onphalus.

The sun is shining brightly.

“...Not often,” he said, his tone as flat as if he were talking about something trivial. “Occasionally.”

Bai E put down his water glass and exchanged a glance with Xi Lian.

Although it's not uncommon for people to occasionally forget what they're supposed to do...

but......

"Occasionally? From just now until now, you've already... done this twice—misremembered the time, forgot why you came." He counted on his fingers, then looked at Jiang Jiu. "You call this occasional?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

Suddenly a voice broke in.

"Hey, what are you talking about? The atmosphere is so tense. Xiaobai and Xilian are here, but the atmosphere isn't lively at all. This isn't like you guys. Let me guess... Could it be that you're talking about the side effects of nothingness?"

Jiang Jiu turned his head to look.

Sai Fei'er leaned against the door frame, dressed in neat clothes, with a short knife at her waist. Sunlight shone in from behind her, and her two cat ears twitched slightly.

"Don't look at me like that. What? Did I say something wrong?"

Sai Fei'er held a half-eaten apple in her hand and looked at Jiang Jiu with great interest.

Jiang Jiu glanced at her.

Then he smiled, a very faint, casual smile.

"Maybe," he said. "Those who self-destruct always have to pay a price."

Saifei took a bite of the apple, the crisp sound particularly noticeable in the room.

She chewed it, then shook the apple core in her hand, and casually tossed it into the trash can with a smooth, effortless motion.

"The price of self-destruction..." she drawled, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Jiu's face, "...sounds pretty scary, but..."

She suddenly smiled, a sly glint in her sky-blue eyes.

"Something that would make someone like you willing to pay this price must be quite terrifying, right?"

Jiang Jiu remained silent.

Sai Fei'er didn't mind and walked into the room on her own, finding a seat next to Xi Lian.

She crossed her legs, her posture as casual as if she were at home.

“So,” she looked at Jiang Jiu, “what exactly is this so-called end of the world you’re talking about?”

Jiang Jiu raised an eyebrow.

"how do you know?"

"Nonsense." Sai Fei'er scoffed, her cat ears twitching. "I'm a sea patrol knight, not a hermit living deep in the mountains. Besides..."

She paused, her tone becoming serious.

"This is related to the hunting trip, isn't it?"

The room fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Jiu asked in surprise, "...A sea patrol knight? You?"

Sai Fei tilted her head: "What? Doesn't it seem like it? With such a cool organization as the Sea Patrol Rangers, what's so strange about me becoming one of them?"

"hiss......"

Jiang Jiu thought about the Sea Patrol Ranger's slogan of using violence to control violence, and really couldn't connect it with Sai Feier.

Although he always knew that Seifer was the Jazz Good Cat.

Jiang Jiu looked at Sai Feier's eyes, which were both mischievous and serious, and suddenly felt like laughing.

It wasn't because it was funny, but because her "I've seen through everything" expression, coupled with those cat ears that twitched every now and then, made it really hard for anyone to be serious.

But she's right.

“Yes.” Jiang Jiu did not deny it. “One of the ends is related to hunting.”

Saifei's eyes lit up.

"I knew it!" She slapped her thigh and sprang up from her chair, moving as nimbly as a cat spotting its prey. "Tell me, tell me, tell me, what exactly happened? What's wrong with the hunting? Are we going to beat someone up? Or is someone going to beat up the hunting? Do I need to step in?"

“…Calm down.” Jiang Jiu pressed his temples.

"I am very calm."

Sai Fei'er sat down again, but her posture was noticeably more upright than before. Both of her ears were perked up, giving off a "I'm ready, so hurry up and tell me" vibe.
