Zongman: Live broadcast of the collapse of iron, shocking the world

"Who are you talking about? Let me take a look..." Dahao studied the information Lao Yang pointed at and recalled, "Oh? Him? I remember this person. He's a cosmic merchant, doing business, and he also knows a little about medicine. His registered name in the alliance is...what's it called..."

"Rakshasa," Jingyan reminded quietly, "This person's name is Rakshasa."

·····

Conan World.

Conan, who was reading a book at Dr. Agasa's house, looked at the picture in Lao Yang's mind.

This...is this Rakshasa?

Conan looked at the images in his mind and recalled these words——

Rakshasa, or someone who looks like Rakshasa, seems to be very familiar with Lao Yang?

Talking about collapse... It sounds like it might be some kind of monster, or an enemy of humanity, right?

Lao Yang swore that it was sealed, but "Rakshasa" said it was only on the moon?

So, these two were both from Earth before?

Conan was stunned. What world's Earth was this? How come he had never heard of Honkai?

That would be fine, but what surprised Conan even more was that with this kind of conversation, after all, the two of them were comrades-in-arms, right?

Maybe because of something, they never contacted each other again - and as a result, he kidnapped the other person's child as soon as they met?

This...is this something a human can do?

Moreover, he kidnapped a child and still pretended to be their "father"... What kind of idiot is this from that world? Don't mention us humans when you go out, okay?

If you look at it this way, Conan can understand why Lao Yang gets stressed out - how could he not get stressed out when the criminal who snatched his own child away?

Could it be that this Rakshasa's coffin was actually trafficking people? --For example, was it Lao Yang's child?

Chapter 158 Rakshasa (2): Walter: I get angry just looking at this face!

"That's right, Luosha. He came this time carrying a large box, claiming it contained funeral supplies. It was called something like... 'Guan Huo'. Because the name 'Guan Huo' was so conspicuous, I couldn't help but ask him a few more questions."

Dahao recalled his impression of Luosha—actually, it was the coffin. The immortals of the Xianzhou people and the short-lived people of the foreigners had different concepts of death, so their understanding of coffins was also different—he even mistook "coffin" for "watching fire"...

Dahao simply thought it was a foreign custom and didn't take it seriously.

"So, Mr. Walter thinks there's something wrong with him?" Dahao asked.

"That's not the case... It's just that for personal reasons, I feel it's necessary to investigate this person. What did he do during the days when Jianmu was growing?" Walter continued.

At this point, Dahao became embarrassed. "This question is a bit complicated to explain. Why don't you all follow me to the Four-Direction Mirror? It'll be easier to explain while you look at it."

Dahao led everyone to the viewing mirror. "Rakshasa arrived in Luofu a few days before Jianmu's birth, and showed no suspicious behavior until the day before the incident..."

"I know!" Sanyueqi was the first to react. "The day before the incident, he suddenly appeared near Jianmu with a star core!"

"The Land and Resources Bureau would have arrested them long ago, so why would they come looking for us?" Old Yang said with a smile.

March Seven suddenly realized, then reacted, "Oh... yeah??? That's exactly what's going on. This case is a bit strange, and it made me, Detective March Seven, stumble from the very beginning..."

Dahao looked at everyone and finally explained the whole story. In a place like Changletian where there's a mix of good and bad people, there are many mechanical birds installed throughout the place to ensure its safety and stability.

[However, it so happened that the day before Jianmu's birth, the Mechanical Bird system malfunctioned, causing problems with surveillance over a large area... A lot of video footage was damaged...]

·····

The world under one person.

"Since there's no surveillance, there must be some eyewitnesses to his comings and goings, right? If he's a local from Xianzhou, the Land Horizon Division can probably ask him a few questions, right?"

As Zhang Chulan was muttering this, Feng Baobao suddenly said, "Impossible."

"What's impossible?"

"There can't be any witnesses. Since he thought of destroying the surveillance camera, he would definitely kill to silence them—let alone the witnesses, even the person he was dealing with is probably dead, right?"

Zhang Chulan was puzzled, "How do you know so much?"

"I often take on this kind of work! The results are great!"

Feng Baobao looks very proud!

Zhang Chulan's face was covered in cold sweat!

He remembered that during the competition a few days ago, Sister Baoer wanted to bury Shan Shitong!

If I hadn't rescued him quickly, he would have been buried!

The problem is, there’s more than one person!

Later, Sister Baoer wanted to bury Wang Ye - but failed!

Wang Ye escaped for the whole night and finally escaped to the competition venue during the day!

Even Sister Baoer wanted to bury Zhuge Qing!

Zhang Chulan's face was filled with black lines - Sister Baoer's thoughts are really scary!

Zhang Chulan doesn’t care whether this Rakshasa kills people without blinking an eye - what the hell does it have to do with me about aliens?

But, Sister Baoer is important! We can't always let her have such crazy thoughts!

More importantly, Zhang Chulan felt that he shouldn't always let Sister Baoer do this kind of thing - if it goes on for too long, she will be stuck in the whirlpool for the rest of her life and unable to get out!

Zhang Chulan decided to go back and talk to Xu San and Xu Si about this matter!

·····

This is one of the reasons why they suspect certain people, including Luosha. However, if they want to investigate and question Luosha, they can do so, but they cannot investigate people without evidence.

[After all, they are traveling merchants. Bothering them so much would be bad for Xianzhou's business reputation.]

[Restoring the image takes time. Dihengsi wants to find evidence before the other party leaves the immortal boat... This is Dahao's idea.]

"I see. No wonder he's discussing this with us privately. This is going to be really hard to handle," Xing thought.

Now that Old Yang was so nervous about Luosha, they also wanted to know what he was thinking. After all, as long as they had a reasonable reason, they would be able to investigate further.

However, facing Dahao's expectations, Lao Yang was troubled. "How should I explain it... because of his appearance..."

Old Yang's words nearly tripped everyone upside down. "Uncle Yang! I thought you were going to tell me some earth-shattering secret, but it turns out you were judging people by their appearance. Uncle Yang, judging people by their appearance is not a good idea."

Old Yang, who is usually so mature and steady, actually said something like this. Even Little Sanyue pretended to be serious and tried to persuade Old Yang.

"I think he's quite handsome..." Xing joked.

Lao Yang also realized that his words might have caused misunderstanding. "Sorry, what I meant was... well, it's hard to explain. I can only say that my intuition tells me that there might be something wrong with this Mr. Luosha..."

Old Yang tried to come up with a more acceptable explanation—but Dahao and the others were even more confused. They could only sigh, "Sorry, this is just my conjecture."

"It's okay. Intuition is also an important partner in the Land and Construction Bureau's investigation." Dahao immediately tried to smooth things over. After all, they were all guests, and they couldn't let them feel awkward.

·····

The world of Honkai Impact 3.

Walter Yang looked at Luosha, his eyes trembling constantly!

Is this... is this Otto?!

After calming down, Walter Yang fell into deep thought - his world and the Starry Sky Railway are not the same world, right?

So, this is Otto's equivalent from another world?

So, what's in his coffin might not be the star core that Dahao and the others speculated about? But someone he wants to resurrect - for example, his counterpart Kallen?

Walter Yang quickly reviewed the scene in front of the Star Dome Railway—if stars can be used as containers for star cores, then Kallen and the star core...?

Could it be that even homologues in different worlds would do the same thing?

In that world, Otto became a traveling merchant "Rakshasa". Is he still thinking about resurrecting Kallen?

This conjecture is indeed very likely, but Walter Yang also noticed one thing!

The image of Lao Yang in this picture is exactly the same as his own, and his memories - no matter how you look at it, this style of painting doesn't look like the pictures in Starry Sky Railway!

This experience must be my own - it is impossible for an isomorph in another time and space to have the exact same experience, right?

If this is my future self, it doesn't make sense - the Old Yang in the picture looks the same age as me?

What's going on? I have the same projection in two different time and space?

Walter Yang's brain is about to explode?!

Chapter 159 Rakshasa (3): Haibara Ai: Ke Gongan, right?

"You say anyone with his face is necessarily a bad person. Fine, I can accept that. But... I'm a deacon after all. I can't use that as an excuse to bother the person involved..." Dahao seemed a little embarrassed.

"If I get fired because of a complaint, it'll leave a stain on my resume...it'll be hard to make a comeback for hundreds of years." Jingyan quietly explained to the three guests.

"Yes, that's the truth... No! What are you talking about..." Dahao said with a look of "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Anyway, if you want to investigate the case, I can make an exception and give you the permission to use the Four Directions Viewing Mirror."

"Dahao is a good position... But think about it, being a Grand Astrologer and a General is so difficult, let alone Dahao... It seems being an official on a fairy ship is really hard!"

"The hardest part is their centuries of age! If they were unemployed for hundreds of years... Tsk tsk!" Xing secretly glanced at Dahao with pity.

Afterwards, Dahao asked Jingyan to help the three guests investigate the case. As long as they stayed in Dihengsi and could find suspicious points using the remaining video footage, then they would have a reason to question Luosha.

"Solving the case just by looking at the footage? That's going to be difficult, huh?" Xing thought things were getting more and more interesting.

After Dahao left, Jingyan pulled up all the footage of the Rakshasa. Xing tried to sort it out to see what the Rakshasa had done—but in the end, all he saw was the Rakshasa entering an open space, which happened to be unsurveilled.

Lao Yang looked at the map and found that there was no other exit there, only a pier... Could it be that he left through the pier?

Jingyan shook his head and said that it was the dock of Shen Ce Mansion, which had been out of use for hundreds of years...

"Isn't this what a 'secret room' is? And it even involves proof of presence?" Xing laughed inwardly.

"But if no one's using this empty space, wouldn't it be okay to check it out?" Xing pondered.

With no other clues, the investigation stalled. Jingyan tried to retrieve images of the area surrounding the clearing—until the three of them saw an image of "two dark figures stalking a little girl," and Sanyueqi cried out, "Ah!"

"Ah? This? Isn't this the plot from 'The Fisherman's Case'?"
