The black swan paused for a moment.

Wait a minute? Isn't this a technique of the Flowing Light Memory Court? Why would he know it too? He's not a Memory Master, is he?

Miss Yi was very puzzled, but Jiang Jiu still didn't explain anything.

The black swan's gaze lingered on him for a long time, her pale purple eyes filled with complex emotions: shock, confusion, and a hint of wariness.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Jiang Jiu had already withdrawn his hand and walked to the side as if nothing had happened, leaning against the wall of the carriage.

Xing thought it was cool and was somewhat interested in learning it.

"What were you doing just now? That was amazing! Could you teach me?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at her and said calmly, "I can't teach her."

"why?"

"Because you don't have it."

"there is nothing?"

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and used a more colloquial way of saying it: "I don't have an account."

Xing thought for a moment and nodded seriously. Although she didn't understand, it didn't stop her from nodding.

The black swan took a deep breath and finally found its voice again.

"Lord Jiang Jiu," her tone was much more cautious than before, "you... are the Memory Master?"

"No."

"What you just used...?"

"A little trick."

Black Swan: "..."

Black Swan seemed to want to say something, but Jiang Jiu glanced at her without saying a word. In that one glance, Black Swan understood instantly.

Don't ask, you won't tell me even if you do.

So she wisely kept quiet.

Xing scratched his head beside him, completely oblivious to the subtle atmosphere between the two, staring at the planet getting closer and closer outside the window, his eyes full of curiosity.

So, are we going down to that place?

Dan Heng walked over and stood beside her, his gaze also fixed on that planet.

"Well, according to the plan, the rest of us will go down together," he paused, looking at Jiang Jiu, "Are you sure you want to come with us?"

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Confirmed."

Dan Heng didn't ask any more questions. He could sense that this new companion was far more complex than he appeared.

But since the other party is willing to travel together, they are companions.

enough.

Himeko and Welt exchanged a glance.

Jiang Jiu never explicitly mentioned his past, but his strength was quite evident. It was just an ordinary planet; why would he need a Commander to defeat him?

After all, it's just a stopover, a place to find some fuel for the train.

"Jiang Jiu," Ji Zi spoke, her tone carrying a hint of gentle curiosity, "Are you sure you want to go down with them?"

Jiang Jiu looked at her without saying anything.

Himeko continued, "We don't know the details of Onpharos's situation yet, but it shouldn't be dangerous enough to require your intervention..."

“I said I’d go with them,” Jiang Jiu interrupted her, his tone relatively calm. “They’re likely to run into trouble if they go alone.”

Dan Heng raised an eyebrow.

Xing blinked.

That's a very direct statement, although upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem to make any mistake.

Walter pushed up his glasses, the reflection from the lenses obscuring the thoughts in his eyes.

"Do you know anything?"

Jiang Jiu frowned slightly.

I should have known better than to make the identity like this just for the sake of creating a sense of immersion; it has absolutely no credibility.

What identity would be best to convince them quickly?

A paragon of annihilation, a supreme ruler destined for the end?

No... they'll probably be on alert immediately, they definitely will...

But other identities seem to make them more wary. What if they don't go?

or......

Why are you questioning him?

Just then, a voice rang out from him.

Himeko paused for a moment; she thought she heard the voice of the Black Tower Lady.

Then... she saw a small black tower doll crawl out of Jiang Jiu's shirt pocket.

Himeko: "...??!"

What kind of scene hasn't Himeko seen? This is a scene Himeko has never seen before.

What does it mean that Ms. Black Tower gave Jiang Jiu a small doll to carry with her, and that she herself was constantly monitoring Jiang Jiu's situation?

Why did you come out?

"I'm afraid it will put you in a difficult position, but I also have connections on the train."

Jiang Jiu casually answered a call, made a few simple operations, and a virtual projection of the Great Black Tower himself appeared on the train.

She stood next to Jiang Jiu with her arms crossed, glancing sideways at Ji Zi.

"Why are you questioning him? Don't you want to live?"

Himeko paused for a moment, then asked, "What does Ms. Black Tower mean by this?"

"No, do you really not check people's identities at all when you're picking them up on the train?"

She lightly pinched Jiang Jiu's cheek through the air and said speechlessly, "A genius is on your train, and you're questioning him for saying something?"

The train conductor looked up at Walter and exclaimed, "Didn't you say it was just a coincidence of names? It turns out it's actually him!"

Uncle Yang: "......"

Himeko: "......"

The big black tower glanced proudly at everyone, then turned to Jiang Jiu: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so timid? You clearly have countless ways to make things go the way you want, don't you?"

"Scared by cause and effect?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head and denied it, saying, "No."

"I just find it too much trouble."

Chapter 237 The Pressure is Immense

Too much trouble.

Because they find it troublesome, they are too lazy to interfere excessively with the train crew's behavior; because they don't want to explain, they don't want to say anything.

He just wanted to help at the critical juncture and then directly adjust the time flow to resolve this crisis quickly.

Seeing the atmosphere turn awkward, Xing blinked and nodded seriously: "Being too troublesome is a perfectly valid reason. I often find things troublesome too."

"Xing, now is not the time to talk about this." Dan Heng pressed his temples helplessly.

His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Jiu.

The Genius Club...

The weight of these words is clear to everyone.

Those people stand at the pinnacle of wisdom, monsters whose research findings can change the course of civilization. No matter how shocking something is, it seems to be a trivial problem that can be easily solved in their eyes.

And the person in front of you... is one of them.

Then there's no need to question it.

“So,” Walter began, his voice more steady than before, “Lord Time Ember, were you serious when you said something about trouble going to Onpharos?”

Jiang Jiu glanced at him and nodded.

"Seriously."

Himeko took a deep breath and placed her coffee cup on the table: "For the sake of our professional relationship, could you tell us what exactly it is?"

Jiang Jiu was silent for two seconds, then shook his head: "Even if you told me, you couldn't stop me."

"That at least gives us some time to prepare."

"Prepare what?" Jiang Jiu retorted directly, "Prepare how to die?"

The atmosphere in the carriage froze instantly.

With March 7th absent, no one could lighten the mood with jokes, and for a moment, no one spoke.

Xing scratched his head and whispered, "That doesn't sound very auspicious..."

Danheng pressed down on her shoulder, signaling her to be quiet.

Himeko looked at Jiang Jiu with a calm gaze.

"Your Excellency Shi Jin, we have been on many trains, traveled to many worlds, and faced many dangers. We have our own ways of dealing with crises."

"Ah."

Ji Zi and Uncle Yang waited for a while and found that Jiang Jiu actually just hummed in response.

They exchanged a glance, somewhat helpless.
