Watching a Movie (Sixty-Six) ​​- One Chance, Hesitation Leads to Death

The kiss was brief, yet it was enough to leave Jiang Jiu's mind blank for several seconds.

She looked at him, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"How is it? Isn't it sweet?"

Jiang Jiu stared at Hei Ta for a long time, completely unprepared for her kiss.

“…Sweet,” he said, his voice a little hoarse, “especially sweet.”

Black Tower was quite satisfied with his somewhat bewildered reaction.

She loosened her grip on his shirt, took a half-step back, picked up the box of chocolates again, and turned to walk towards the lab table as if nothing had happened.

"That's fine, I'll accept this gift."

Jiang Jiu looked at her, a little helpless: "...Okay."

A slight noise suddenly came from the side.

They both turned their heads at the same time...

The black swan was frozen on the edge of the sofa, curled up in a ball, covering its eyes with its hands, but its fingers were spread wide open, and its two eyes were peeking out from between its fingers, staring wide-eyed.

[Black Swan: I...I definitely didn't see anything! I really didn't see anything! The professional ethics of a remembrancer! Confidentiality agreements! I understand! I understand everything!]

[Dahlia: Pfft... Could you open your fingers any wider? They're almost the size of your eyes! Are you sure you're covering your eyes and not peeking?]

[Black Swan: I didn't! I'm just...]

[Dahlia: This is peeking~]

[Black Swan: Shut up!!! If you were in this situation, could you resist watching?]

The black swan pondered for a moment whether it really had a chance of survival.

A ruthless savior and a genius who doesn't care much about anything.

...These two don't seem like the type to hold back, do they?

[Aista: Actually... Lady Black Tower is a very nice person... better than you can imagine, a million times better!]

[Silver Wolf: Pushed here by Black Tower.]

[Silver Wolf: Tch, I really don't understand... what's so good about that guy? He's such a cheapskate.]

In the video, the black swan solemnly swears that she will keep it a secret and will not reveal a single word.

However......

Black Tower simply countered with a nonchalant question: "Why should it be kept secret?"

"Don't worry!! If there's even the slightest bit of gossip from the outside world, I'll definitely... um???"

The black swan looked at the black tower with some shock.

Black Tower leaned against the lab bench and said nonchalantly, "Why should it be kept secret? Is it something shameful?"

[Black Swan: Huh?!]

The black swan suddenly felt extremely superfluous.

Not only is it superfluous, but it's also incredibly eye-catching; it's practically an 800-watt light bulb...

[March 7th: Huh??? This...this...is this something I can say???]

[Star: Of course you can talk about it, why can't you? It's not like it's anything shameful.]

They even released the celestial canopy.

[Hanabi: Oh dear~ Ms. Black Tower's tone and attitude, "Why keep it a secret? Is it something shameful?", which translates to, "I kissed her, so what? You have a problem with that?"]

[Silver Wolf: You've even started learning translation?]

[Hanabi: This is my innate skill!]

[Silver Wolf: You're getting cocky now that I'm calling you fat?]

Opal: It seems our manager has really won over Ms. Black Tower.

[Cang Gang: The way you're saying that makes it sound like Ms. Black Tower is some kind of trophy. Besides, it seems like you've got it backwards. It was clearly Ms. Black Tower who won over our manager.]

[Opal: Uh... a bit unexpected. Given Black Tower's personality, I thought she'd stay single until the universe heats up.]

[Shuju: The universe is far from heat death; you should worry about yourself first.]

Opal: What do I have to worry about?

[Shuju: You're single too.]

【Opal:......】

That would be very presumptuous.

While everyone was still debating the genius's dating dynamics, Jiang Jiu and Hei Ta had already naturally transitioned into work mode.

Hei Ta casually flicked his wrist, but Jiang Jiu was utterly defeated.

Are you looking for the Black Swan, or because of those memories?

Jiang Jiu nodded.

Hei Ta glanced at the little doll on Jiang Jiu's body: "Don't you already have one?"

“Hmm…” Jiang Jiu shook his head, “Not all of it. You don’t know much about what happened on the Immortal Boat.”

Hei Ta tilted his head and gave Jiang Jiu a meaningful look, but said nothing.

"Alright, you make the arrangements. What about the Immortal Ship?"

"Give them a chance; if they hesitate, kill them."

Jiang Jiu's tone was calm, but his words sounded like a star core exploding on the foreheads of everyone on the Immortal Boat.

Jingyuan: ......

[Feixiao: What does "hesitation leads to death" mean... Wait a minute, didn't it say "give them a chance"? Isn't there a big difference between these two statements?]

[Jiaoqiu: General, please calm down.]

[Feixiao: But what is the boundary of "hesitation"? Is hesitating for even a second still hesitation?]

[Jing Yuan: Fei Xiao, he has no reason to lie to us. With his strength, he doesn't need to use such words to bluff. It's obvious he doesn't care about his reputation. If he says he'll give us a chance, he definitely will. But if he says he'll kill us if we hesitate... he definitely will.]

The final interpretation right never rests with Xianzhou.

The celestial boat and jade palace, the council hall.

Yao Guang stood in front of the Qiong Guan Formation. The calculation results on the light screen were still flashing, but she had stopped looking at them.

She stared at the images on the sky, her fingertips tapping the table unconsciously, one tap at a time, very slowly.

[Yao Guang: On the previous end, he was still willing to sit down and talk with us slowly, willing to wait for our meeting, and willing to give us time. On this end, it seems he doesn't want to wait anymore.]

[Qingque: So... he was really angered by the Immortal Boat?]

[Yao Guang: Perhaps. Perhaps he wasn't angered by the immortal boat, but simply didn't have the time.]

Qingque was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "No time? Can't he travel through time? How could he not have time?"

Yao Guang shook his head.

So what if we travel through time?

While ordinary envoys certainly have no shortage of time, it is clear that Jiang Jiu does not fall into this category.

It's not so much that they don't want to, but rather that they can't...

So who is out of time? Huan Yu? Or him personally?

Don't forget, that's a "Void Envoy".

[Topa: "Give them one chance, hesitate and you're dead." Truly a savior! Do you think that's ruthless?]

[Gold Sand: Ruthless? I think it's quite merciful.]

[Topa: Mercy?]

[Gold Sand: Yes, he didn't give us a chance, he just killed us directly. What could Xianzhou do? We couldn't beat him in a fight, and we couldn't win an argument. We could only watch helplessly. The fact that he gave us a chance means he was still willing to talk and willing to give Xianzhou a way out.]

[Jade: Provided that the Immortal Boat doesn't hesitate.]

[Gold Sand: Yes, provided the Immortal Ship doesn't hesitate.]

[Jade: But how could the Immortal Ships not hesitate? Six Immortal Ships, hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, internal disagreements, and immense external pressure—any decision requires time. What can he possibly accomplish with the little time he's given?]

Gold dust: Enough to make a decision.

[Jade: Indeed.]

Not making a decision is hesitation.

Hesitation is a dead end.

[Gold Sand: Actually, our savior is quite merciful. If you were in that situation, I don't think you could have done better than him.]

They don't even believe they can calmly deal with a hostile force.

"What do you mean by 'one chance'?" Black Tower countered.

"The literal meaning." Jiang Jiu shrugged. "If we present the evidence, and the other side shows even the slightest intention to stay or negotiate, we'll stop talking."

Black Tower waved his hand: "Whatever."

Jiang Jiu hummed in agreement and walked to the black swan's side.

"Black Swan, are you ready?"

Black Swan sat up straight, looking at Jiang Jiu warily: "Um... can I refuse?"

Jiang Jiu thought about it seriously for a moment: "I think it might not work, because it seems that you are the only reliable memory person I know."

Black Swan said with a forced smile, "I... I shouldn't be famous enough for someone like Lord Shi Jin to have heard of me, right...?"

"I believe you," Jiang Jiu said.
