Xu Nuo raised his head and looked towards a certain place in the sky. There was an obvious hole there and several star ships were docked beside it, seemingly undergoing repairs.
Jingliu and Bai Heng stood on either side of Xu Nuo. Jingliu was holding a sword and looked a little unhappy, while Bai Heng was apologizing to her.
"I'm sorry, Jingliu, I just opened my eyes and saw the two of you in that position, and I couldn't help but make a joke. Oh, Jingliu sister, please don't be angry, okay."
As soon as the fox girl started to act coquettishly, Xu Nuo felt his body go limp.
Jing Liu obviously couldn't withstand such an attack and looked at the other party helplessly.
"Some jokes are okay, but some jokes are not."
"That's right, there are only a few of us, so no one will say anything random anyway."
Why do I feel that Jingliu is simply worried that you misunderstood?
Xu Nuo stood aside, looking like an outsider who had nothing to do with the matter. But Bai Heng, after calming Jing Liu down, came to his side again.
"Xiao Xu Nuo, what happened last night and this morning must be kept secret, okay? Hehehe, of course, no one will believe you if you tell others."
He hugged Xu Nuo in his arms, then Bai Heng pinched his chin and spoke viciously like a bully teasing a little girl.
Jingliu couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, while Xu Nuo started laughing.
"Still laughing? It seems you don't understand your fate!"
I know, it's just a hot weapon, please use me as you like. Of course, my temperature is limited, I don't know if I can warm up Jingliu's thousand-year-old ice.
It's a pity that Jing Liu had said some harsh words and it didn't seem like he was joking, otherwise Xu Nuo really wanted to explore the other party's ice cave to see how cold it was inside.
"Okay, stop messing around, get ready, and let's report to the Ten Kings Division."
"Are we going to Juousi so soon?"
Hearing the words "Ten Kings Division", Xu Nuo was still a little panicked. After all, this was a special agency on the Immortal Boat that was responsible for dealing with matters related to the Longevity Plague and Disaster Ancestor. He didn't know how many tricks the other party had, and whether he could keep his secrets hidden.
"Now you are afraid. Didn't you say before that you would go to the Ten Kings Division to complain that we bullied you?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiao Xu Nuo really wants to go and complain, but it seems that there is nothing wrong. It was Jingliu and I who did something to you after drinking last night..."
Bai Heng was halfway through his words when he noticed Jing Liu's resentful look and immediately laughed it off before changing his words.
"Hahaha, just kidding. The Ten Kings Division doesn't care about these things. This is an ordinary civil dispute. Xiao Xu Nuo, if you want to file a complaint, you should go to the Land and Prosperity Division. Of course, the Land and Prosperity Division is full of our people. No one will accept your complaint even if you go there."
"Going to the Ten Kings Department is mainly my own fault. After causing such a big fuss last night, I must go to the Ten Kings Department for an examination to ensure that I am healthy and normal. As for you, you can't escape. Whether you take the initiative to accept the investigation or wait for the Ten Kings Department to invite you, the result will be the same."
Chapter 24: The Messenger of God is Me
Jing Liu's words were very serious, even a little harsh, and Bai Heng did not continue to make jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
She just touched Xu Nuo's head, looked at the boy who seemed to be frightened, and comforted him in his ear.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a formality. Although the judges of the Ten Kings Division are cold and ruthless most of the time, they are also the most impartial group of people in Xianzhou who enforce the law. They will not let a bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse a good person."
You saying that makes me even more nervous.
He felt a little amused and helpless inside, but Xu Nuo did not show the slightest bit of it. Now he could only hope that his golden finger could deceive the judges of the Ten Kings Division.
Xu Nuo thought so and looked at the panel in front of him. Naturally, the badge of endless life had been taken away by him early on.
He took some medicine before going out. Although he was still a little weak overall, his body could now move freely without relying on the power from the pharmacist.
At this time, a group of three people were walking on the streets of Changletian. As the largest, most lively and prosperous cave in Luofu, the streets were naturally bustling with people coming and going.
The physical features of Jingliu and Bai Heng were too obvious, so they naturally attracted countless people's attention along the way.
Compared to the two big stars Bai Heng and Jing Liu, more attention was focused on Xu Nuo.
People were very curious about who this little boy was who was walking closely with two members of the Five Warriors of the Cloud.
In addition to curious glances, there were also some hostile ones, which even someone as slow-witted as Xu Nuo could feel.
"This is what you have to endure if you stay with us."
Jing Liu naturally noticed these unfriendly gazes. She raised her head and looked around, and then these unfriendly gazes disappeared one after another.
Bai Heng also kept a certain distance from Xu Nuo and no longer acted too intimate with him.
Instead, he promised himself and took the initiative to hold the fox girl's hand.
"Why should I care about other people's eyes? They are just some people who hide their heads and show their tails."
"Neither I nor Bai Heng can always be by your side to protect you. Once a war or other emergency occurs, we, Yun Wu, will go out together. It is normal to be away from Luofu for a few months or even years. Have you ever thought about how you will survive on this immortal boat at that time?"
"I'll go with you."
"Tian Zhen, do you know what kind of enemy we are facing? What kind of danger is it? Even I myself cannot guarantee that I can come back alive. What can you do by following me? Will you become a burden to me, or will you die with me?"
"Then let's die together with Sister Jingliu. If I can die together with Sister Jingliu, it must be an extremely beautiful thing."
"you……"
Jing Liu was speechless for a moment, but Bai Heng held his face with one hand, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Oh, it's a confession. This must be a confession, right? It's forever, so romantic!"
"Don't make a fuss. Aren't you afraid that others will hear you?"
Jingliu felt a little headache, but he looked away and didn't look into Xu Nuo's eyes.
It's just a puppy, but it always says strange things.
"Didn't you say you wanted to live forever? I can feel your attachment to life from your eyes. You also said that you could become a wild beast in order to survive. Why aren't you afraid of death now?"
"Is there any conflict? If I am afraid of death, will death not come? Only by facing death and not giving up until the last moment can we have the chance to strangle fate. Look, isn't it because of this luck that I have the chance to continue living?"
Xu Nuo said this with some emotion. After all, his will to survive was recognized by the pharmacist, which made it possible for him to continue living.
If I had given up and despair halfway through, I would probably not have the chance to live my life again, right?
"It's not that I do whatever it takes to survive, but that I do whatever it takes to survive."
"What's the difference between the two?"
The fox girl tilted her head, as if she didn't quite understand the true meaning of Xu Nuo's words. But Jingliu chewed on the boy's words carefully and seemed to understand something.
"Now that you have entered the Ten Kings Division, stop showing off your shallow knowledge. You should know that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, and the less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make."
"What difference does it make? The judge will find out everything about me, right?"
“It’s hard to say…”
Jing Liu said this and then looked at Xu Nuo. She always felt that the other party seemed to be fearless.
Although he seemed nervous about heading to the Juousi, he actually seemed to have everything under control.
"How can it be shallow? I think many of Xiao Xu Nuo's words are very profound. I can't understand them."
Is it possible that you are too... too trusting of others?
Jing Liu sighed and looked at Bai Heng who was stunned by Xu Nuo. He didn't know what to say to make his friend come to the right path and recognize the true face of this little guy.
"Well, Xiao Xu Nuo, why don't you leave suddenly?"
Seeing Xu Nuo suddenly stop and stand in front of a shop in a daze, Bai Heng spoke with some confusion.
She looked at the shop where Xu Nuo stopped and found that it was a clothing store.
"Oh, right, I forgot to buy you some Xianzhou clothing, Xiao Xu Nuo. Let's buy them when we come back."
Bai Heng originally thought Xu Nuo wanted to buy clothes, but in fact, the reason why Xu Nuo was stunned was because of a mirror placed at the door of the clothing store.
It was a tall floor-length mirror, and he saw his own reflection in it.
It was not a strange face, but a face that was extremely familiar to him, but much younger.
this is me?
Xu Nuo looked carefully for a long time, and then he was able to confirm that the face in the mirror was himself when he was young.
It's not that my soul has traveled through time and space to take over someone else's body, but that my real body has traveled through time and space?
Wait...wait...sacrifice, ritual, the medicine man's gift...
Xu Nuo suddenly had a bold idea. Some of the Medicine Master's followers held a sacrificial ceremony and slaughtered a dozen barbarians as sacrifices.
Their sacrifice did catch the attention of the pharmacist, and then the star god sent himself over after receiving the blessing.
This... does this mean that I am actually the messenger of the pharmacist?
No way, it shouldn’t be... that serious, right?
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this mirror?"
Jing Liu also noticed that something was wrong with Xu Nuo, and then he asked softly.
"Nothing, I'm just a little surprised that I recovered so quickly. Now I look like a human being."
Xu Nuo shook his head and started walking again with a heavy heart.
Pretending to know nothing is indeed one method. The purpose of the Medicine Master is yet to be known, but what about the Medicine Master's believers who perform the ritual and receive responses?
In their eyes, is he the real Star God's messenger?
If you want to stay safely in the Immortal Boat, you must find these people and make them shut up forever.
Chapter 25: Person of Unknown Origin
The Ten Kings’ Division, deep in the Hall of Cause and Effect.
The woman with long gray hair raised her head from the pile of files, and her eyes, covered by thick dark circles, could not hide the deep fatigue.
Next to her was a huge coffin. The lid of the coffin was open, and there were pillows and bedding inside. It was obvious that this was where the woman rested and slept.
She was wearing a Senshu-style uniform similar to the Mirror Style, but the size of her chest was much larger than the Mirror Style, which was particularly eye-catching. The breastplate in front of the woman was bulging, making people worry that the buckle connecting the middle would break.
There was a golden chain hanging around her neck, which extended downward and penetrated directly into the woman's bottomless ravine.
She is Jackdaw, one of the Ten King Judges of the Immortal Boat Luofu, in charge of the "question" duty among the four judges of detention, imprisonment, punishment and questioning.
According to Jingliu, the person who can use the dream interpretation method to read all the memories of a person's past and present life is her.
"Ahhh... I can't finish it. I can't finish the work. I really can't finish it..."
After sitting there in a daze for a while, the Jackdaw, who seemed to be out of control, lay on the table and howled again.
But soon, she adjusted her mood and sat up straight.
There was a sound of footsteps, and it turned out that a judge in white robes walked in. The footsteps of the judge in white robes were very light, and should not have been noticed by the Jackdaw who was thinking with his head down. However, she was followed by a tall golden soul-catcher, and his footsteps were so loud and noisy that the Jackdaw discovered the two people, or the two puppets, as soon as they walked in.
That’s right, the white-robed judge who walked in was no longer a human, but a mechanical body infused with consciousness.
Although Xianzhou's technology is very advanced and the puppets it makes are lifelike, machines are still machines after all, their bodies are cold and they have no expression.
Her name is Xue Yi, which is not her real name, but the same as Jackdaw, it is her code name as the Judge of the Ten Kings.
Jackdaw subconsciously wanted to smile, but after noticing that the familiar face looked particularly strange because it no longer had a smile, the smile on her face slowly faded.
"Sister, now that you are here, are there any results from the investigation into that incident?"
"Well, the investigation has made some progress. Although we haven't found any traces of those people, we have made some important discoveries."
Xue Yi said this and handed a file to her sister in front of her.
"What we can confirm now is that those foreigners are not a regular tour group. They are a group of stowaways. Their purpose of sneaking into Luofu is unclear, but they are suspected to have been bewitched. When they entered the immortal boat, one of the main messengers of the sacrifice should have been among the stowaways."
Jackdaw listened to his sister's story while flipping through the files in his hands.
The file recorded the information of the thirteen-member smuggling group, including each person's photo and their origins, but Jackdaw found the fourteenth photo among them.
"Who is this child?"
Picking up the only photo without any record or description, Jackdaw seemed a little puzzled, and this photo was exactly the photo that was promised.
"This is the survivor found at the scene at that time. He is a person without any origin, who seemed to appear out of thin air on the immortal boat. I suspect that he may be related to the ancestor of the plague."
Xue Yi's analysis made Jackdaw tense up, as if she had thought of many bad things. She stood up suddenly.
"Of course, it's just a suspicion. The child is now with Jingliu Jianshou and has also been examined and treated by the doctors of Danding Division. It can be confirmed that he does not have any abundant power. He seems to be just an ordinary barbarian."
"There are two possibilities. One is that he is indeed an ordinary foreigner and we are overthinking it. The other possibility is that he is no less powerful than Shu Hu, and it is easy for him to hide his power and not be discovered by us."
The word "suddenly" was like a nightmare, making Jackdaw's already pale face even uglier. She couldn't help but hold her sister's hand, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"No, how could it be possible... No..."
