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

She didn't mention what she had just said, but simply smiled, waved her hand, and asked, "Brother, am I pretty?"

"She looks beautiful, Yin Yin looks beautiful no matter what."

Jiang Jiu blurted it out, just like countless times before.

"Brother is lying."

Jiang Yin's eyes crinkled into a weak smile. She curled her fingers, her knuckles turning a sickly bluish-purple. "How could I possibly look good like this? But..."

She came closer, carrying a faint scent of medicine mixed with a subtle citrus fragrance.

Does it smell good?

"Where is that fragrance coming from?"

"The lady in the next bed sprayed me with perfume, just a tiny bit... The doctor said it would be fine."

"Smells nice." Jiang Jiu hugged Jiang Yin and rubbed her head, but didn't dare to rub too hard.

"The daisies have withered..."

Jiang Jiu remembers this daisy, and will never forget it...

It was a potted plant that her father bought when he was still alive. It was planted in a flowerpot and the little girl loved it so much. Even though she was too young to take care of herself, she insisted on watering it herself.

But later...

His peaceful life was overwhelmed by countless bills and emergency rescues. He temporarily gave up his studies and took on part-time jobs everywhere. His father was working several jobs at the same time, but was taken away by a car accident on a rainy night.

It was as if the family had suddenly lost its pillar of support. He wanted to tell his mother that he was still there, so she shouldn't give up... but his mother became more and more silent each day, and eventually remained forever on the day before New Year's Eve.

The winter night was so cold, so very cold. He only remembered that the New Year's Eve that year was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant, which was very unpleasant.

He remembers that from that day on, they could no longer take care of the daisy and could only watch it wither away little by little, day by day.

Jiang Yin looked up at Jiang Jiu: "It withered, so I cut it off. Are you mad at me, brother?"

"If you like it, I'll buy you another one, okay?"

"Brother," the little one in his arms gently nuzzled his neck, her voice soft and sweet, "when I'm better, shall we go see the cherry blossoms all over the mountains? I want to wear a white dress and run there."

"Okay." Jiang Jiu nodded vigorously, his throat feeling sore and tight. "Brother will take you there, you can run as fast as you want."

My vision is inexplicably blurry.

Daisies...sunshine...winter snow...

Then another spring arrived, and in the operating room, the red light came on.

Drip—drip—

Brother, will you wait for me to come out?

......

Jiang Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, the light stinging them.

He pressed his temples and leaned back on the sofa, clicking his tongue.

"Awake? What happened?"

Jiang Jiu was dazed for a few seconds, then shook his head: "...I must have had a nightmare. I can't quite remember."

Seeing that he looked unwell, Heita didn't press him for details.

I can fall asleep while sitting and waiting for the experiment results; I have no idea what I was doing last night.

Jiang Jiu's mind was in a mess, and he felt inexplicably choked up.

I can't remember the dream itself, but the emotions in the dream are still there.

Everything in the dream was blurry; in the end, all that remained of my memory was a complete sentence and a blurry image.

Daisies... Why buy daisies?

The lingering emotions swirled in my mind, eventually turning into confusion.

Why do I feel sad?

He paused for two minutes, then looked down at Jixing.

Sensing a fluctuation of destiny behind him, the Great Black Tower turned its head and glanced over. Jiang Jiu himself had already left the space station.

The Fourth Mirror leaned closer to Black Tower and asked curiously, "Ms. Black Tower, why do I feel like that guy named Jiang Jiu is acting strange? He seems so listless?"

Black Tower glanced at the data on the screen and said thoughtfully.

"Negativity is never a good choice."

......

"This is the Interstellar Peace Broadcast. Good evening, viewers."

"Recently, the trail of the Annihilation Lord 'Star Howl' has been revealed at the edge of the Sedunilamer Star Cluster. As the vanguard most adept at destruction, Star Howl's infamy is widespread, and all living beings in the universe suffer greatly from its wrath."

"Faced with a common threat, the six civilized worlds of the Sedunilamer Cluster announced an alliance to launch a counterattack against Starscream."

"Approximately one and a half star systems away from the Sedunilamer Cluster, the Extinction Lord 'Time Ashes' is suspected to have completed its ascension."

"The destruction range extends to an entire star system, with the affected planets being destroyed and the environment of planets in three surrounding star sectors being impacted. The company has already sent personnel to provide assistance."

"Breaking news! The Annihilation Lord 'Time Ashes' has publicly declared war on the Flowing Light Memory Court. In a very short time, the Memory Stealers faction belonging to the Flowing Light Memory Court has suffered heavy casualties. The reason is currently unknown."

"The company has listed him as a wanted person, but if you encounter 'Shi Jin,' please prioritize your personal safety. Please be aware."

.......

Jiang Jiu was sitting on an unknown planet, lost in thought.

The memory thief is too easy for him to deal with now, so easy that it doesn't even reach the threshold of venting his frustration.

[Oh wow... Has Brother Jiang reached the point of killing without blinking an eye?]

"I'm in a bad mood right now, don't bother me."

Alright~

To be honest, Jiang Jiu didn't consider those memory thieves to be human... a bunch of guys pushing the world toward its end, their existence was just a waste of air.

As for why they were all killed...

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free—isn't that the old rule?

Are we saving it to allow the Iron Tomb to hatch ahead of time?

He would only do that if he were sick.

He casually set up a layer of illusory barrier near the imperial scepter, hoping it would hold for a while, and he could also sense in advance if anyone dared to touch it.

Iron Tomb can come out, but it cannot come out prematurely, and it certainly cannot suddenly appear before he is ready.

beep beep...

My phone received two messages.

Jingyuan: Lord Shijin, the truth of Jingliu and Luosha's words has been largely verified. Would you like to discuss the actual plan with us?

Jingyuan: (Positioning)

king: ......

king: Can't you just call me Jiang Jiu?

He did not deny it.

Chapter 79 If disaster could be nipped in the bud...

The moment Jiang Jiu stepped onto the celestial ship, he could clearly feel many eyes on him.

However, they were all moved away the next moment.

There weren't many Cloud Riders around, and aside from the necessary protective measures, there wasn't much of a sense of vigilance on the surface.

That's normal.

"It's nice to see you again, Jingyuan."

Jing Yuan simply smiled and said, "The Immortal Ship welcomes your visit at any time."

"It's fine if you're not welcome." Jiang Jiu didn't mind and followed Jing Yuan inside. "Is this the direction of the Immortal Ship's prison?"

"Please don't misunderstand, sir. Mirror Stream is indeed quite dangerous for the Immortal Ship, so..."

A very cautious and polite attitude.

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything. Given his reputation for destruction, coupled with the previous actions of Huanlong Xingxiao and Jingliu, it was already quite good that the Immortal Boat was willing to let him in.

It's good to be vigilant.

But then again...

At the prison gate, Jiang Jiu looked at the woman standing against the wall inside the prison. She was dressed in dark blue clothes with black satin covering her eyes. Sensing the presence outside the door, she slightly turned her head but did not look at Jing Yuan.

"We've finally met."

“Yes,” Jiang Jiu said, rubbing his chin and scanning Jing Liu from head to toe. “I should be the one saying that. I went to great lengths to meet you, my colleague.”

Jingyuan: ......

"Let her out, Jing Yuan." Jiang Jiu turned to look at Jing Yuan. "I guarantee she won't pose any threat to the Immortal Ship."

Jing Yuan's smile froze for a moment.

He looked at Jiang Jiu, his eyes, which usually held a lazy smile, now carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"Your Excellency, Jing Liu is a serious offender to the Immortal Ship. Previously..."

"They can also be allies, can't they?"

Jiang Jiu calmly countered, "Hua should be prepared to accept Jingliu's plan, right?"

“This matter really cannot be conflated.” Jing Yuan shook his head. “Until the Marshal is confirmed, Jing Liu is still a prisoner.”

Jiang Jiu glanced at Jing Liu, who remained motionless, leaning quietly against the wall, his gaze seemingly unfocused.

“General Shence, I don’t really want to go through the trouble of communicating with you right now.” Jiang Jiu looked at Jing Yuan. “If the identity of this Wisdom Envoy is not enough for you to agree to release the person, I will speak to you as Shi Jin.”
