Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

"Ah?" San Yueqi was stunned for a moment. She understood the meaning of the so-called auspicious time, so she was surprised and said, "Is this necessary when arresting a criminal?"

"When the manpower is deployed and the suspects' escape routes are blocked one by one, then the 'auspicious time' will arrive." Tingyun smiled, with an inexplicable deep meaning in his smile.

Sanyue opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to complain about you for arranging a back-up plan for an arrest operation, and yet you had to be so particular about it, giving it such a strange name...

But when I thought about the fact that I was standing on someone else's territory, I swallowed my anger back.

"Dear guests, please take a rest and gather your strength. When the 'auspicious time' arrives, we will invite you to show your skills." Tingyun smiled and led the way. "Everyone, follow me. I will arrange accommodation for you first, and then prepare good tea and delicious food."

The train crew also followed, but as they walked, the captain made a gesture to Yuexia, so Yuexia brought Sanyueqi and Xing to the fox girl and asked along the way. The two adult men slowly fell to the tail of the team.

"Is there something?" Old Yang spoke calmly to the captain beside him.

"Be careful of this Tingyun." The captain narrowed his eyes and glanced at Tingyun who was introducing various things along the way to Yuexia. "When she spoke just now, I had a subtle feeling of disharmony."

"What do you mean?" Old Yang didn't feel anything inconsistent with what the captain said.

In other words, the Xianzhou people's way of speaking was full of inharmonious half-literate and half-vernacular language to Walter Yang.

"She seems to have the ability to guide other people's mental state, similar to some kind of 'suggestion' or 'hypnosis'." The captain was not sure, but he had come into contact with too many similar powers before, and his nerves in this regard were so sensitive that he would explode if they were slightly provoked.

This is also the reason why the captain opened his mouth just now to bring the atmosphere back to normal.

"On the Immortal Boat, the fox people are also a large tribe, so it's normal for them to be a little strange." Old Yang thought for a moment, "But I will pay attention."

"It's not about paying attention, but being vigilant." The captain turned his head and looked at Lao Yang seriously. "It's normal for Taibusi to be vigilant about how they set up defenses to besiege Kafka. What's wrong with being frank? Why do we have to resort to such means?"

"It's as disgusting as if they were intentionally feeding us flies. Whether it's Yukong or Jingyuan, the personalities they showed us are more than just this."

"Besides, after I pointed it out, this fox finally let out a word and diverted our attention... It felt a little strange. She didn't seem to be doing things completely on Xianzhou's side. She should have talked about the business first, and then talked about other things."

Old Yang paused for a moment, speaking sparingly, and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Lao Yang also felt relieved to know that someone was thinking about these complicated things.

He was not the kind of person who was good at scheming. In the past, he had to scheme because of his position, and he often felt that he was powerless. To put it bluntly, when he was young and was the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, if he did not have the great power to move the stars, he might have been killed by Alto.

And the assistant at that time was also a simple-minded fool. Now there is a captain who can unravel the situation and distinguish between friends and enemies...

It was truly the ideal adventure in Lao Yang’s mind.

Chapter 85: Savior, Captain.

"It's rare to see you so worried."

The gentle female voice awakened my tangled and complicated thoughts.

Dan Heng turned his head and looked at Ji Zi who was walking towards him with a coffee cup.

"Are you worried about something?" Ji Zi looked at Dan Heng's furrowed brows.

"I... came from the Immortal Ship." Dan Heng's gaze turned to the Jade Realm Gate hidden under the azure sky. "I have lost everything I once had in the past and was exiled as a criminal. I will never be able to set foot on the Immortal Ship again in the future... So, I did not get off the ship with the captain and the others."

"You told me and Walter before that you have been running away from something." Ji Zi's eyes also turned to the half-real and half-virtual Jade Realm Gate, "Is it related to the Immortal Boat?"

"To be honest, I don't know..." Dan Heng looked distressed and confused, and shook his head gently, "I may have done something in the past, but I don't know. I was told that it is a blessing to be able to keep my life as a felon, but I don't have any intuitive feeling."

"I have also speculated that maybe someone is not happy to see me receive this gift... who knows." Dan Heng said, shaking his head, "Just like what that person said, if I change my appearance and forget the past, can I really be completely detached from everything in the past?"

"Probably not." Dan Heng retracted his gaze and turned to look at Ji Zi, "Otherwise I shouldn't be so restless just because I'm on the immortal boat."

"That person?" Ji Zi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Star Core Hunter Blade, before I boarded the train, I worked as a colonial ship guard in the company for a period of time. At that time, Blade, who had not yet joined the Star Core Hunter, had been chasing me. The most critical time, the entire colonial ship was affected by him because of me. I had no choice but to escape from the colonial ship and boarded the ship of the Mourning Actors. I put on their mask and managed to escape, but I was also blacklisted by the Company because of this." Dan Heng shook his head bitterly.

Ji Zi was silent for a moment, and looked at Dan Heng helplessly, "You are very similar to Sanyue and Xing."

Dan Heng was silent for a moment and nodded silently.

San Yue Qi doesn't remember anything, but [Liu Guang Yi Ting] still invaded the train because of her, with direct orders from [Memory] Fu Li to observe and collect [Wuming Ke]'s memories.

As for Xing, her origin is a mystery. She can contain star cores in her body, and her relationship with the [Star Core Hunter] is unclear...

Everyone is carrying something.

"We are walking on an invisible [destiny]. The past, everything we have seen and heard, are our gifts and burdens. We cannot put them down, we can only carry them. They are a drag, but also a force that pushes us forward." Ji Zi said meaningfully, looking at Dan Heng, "On the train, it is enough for Pam and I to be on duty."

"Just do whatever you want to do." Ji Zi smiled, "It's better than regretting it in the future."

Dan Heng hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "Yes."

"If you have something on your mind, you might as well ask the captain." Ji Zi looked at Dan Heng's back.

Dan Heng paused and looked back at Ji Zi.

"Although the captain is not very skilled in using his power..." Jizi smiled, "According to Yuexia's description and Walter's certification, he is a true [Savior]. He used to be a brainiac, so it is natural that he is not skilled in power."

"Savior..." Dan Heng chewed on the three heavy words in Ji Zi's mouth.

"The Black Tower once analyzed that [Feng Rao] took the initiative to find the captain, not because he saved countless lives. No matter how many lives there are, if they cannot last forever, they have no value in the eyes of the pharmacist. The reason why the pharmacist values the captain is because he has saved countless worlds."

Dan Heng was stunned, his pupils trembled.

"Short life is a disease in the eyes of pharmacists. But in the eyes of pharmacists, are countless 'worlds' destined to have short life more valuable than ordinary short lives?" Ji Zi smiled.

"The captain is much older than you think. According to what Yuexia told me... the captain has a strong mind that has lived for at least tens of thousands of years. The storms we have experienced may be just waves in his eyes."

"You can trust him and you can always ask him for advice."

"anything."

"I understand." Dan Heng nodded vigorously.

Before walking out of the train door, he paused again and added, "I will."

"Yeah." Ji Zi chuckled and watched Dan Heng get off the car.

Then, the train carriage fell into a brief silence again.

"Miss Navigator, is what you just said true?" A soft, lark-like female voice sounded behind Ji Zi.

Ji Zi turned her head and looked at the messenger lady from [Liuguang Yiting], her eyes flickering slightly, "I don't know the captain, but I know Walter, and the [Unknown Guest] who got off the car before. My judgment is that it is true."

"Savior..." The messenger girl also chewed on these three heavy words for a while like Dan Heng just now, and finally sighed softly, "People like this usually don't have a good ending."

Ji Zi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat unhappy with the messenger's comments.

"It's not that I look down on them. On the contrary, I respect them very much. But it is precisely because of respect that I say that." The messenger looked at Ji Zi, "Liu Guang Yi Ting collects all kinds of memories in the universe, and there are many saviors among them, as the navigator said."

"But because of this, I know very well that similar people have the same characteristics, and most of them are not on this path because they want to save the world."

"Often, it's just some coincidences, or a sincere heart, just like a traveler embarking on a journey of destiny. No one knows how far he can go, what he has carried along the way, and what kind of deeds he has left. Only they themselves know, and sometimes they even forget... Only their memories tell the gains and losses that are unknown to outsiders..."

"Just like a [Holy Sword], it is not because the savior holds up the [Holy Sword] that everything can be saved."

"Only the sword raised by the Savior is often named the Holy Sword."

"What do you want to say?" Ji Zi vaguely sensed the hidden meaning of the messenger lady in front of her, but she couldn't find any clear clues, so she could only frown slightly.

The messenger did not respond, but changed the subject, "Liuguang Yiting will prepare a reward worthy of the status of a [Commander]."

"We want to collect the captain's memories." The messenger softly stated his request, "Can Miss Navigator please help convey the request of [Liuguang Yiting] to the captain?"

"......" Ji Zi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I will help you convey it, but whether to trade with you can only be decided by the captain himself."

"I understand. Thank you."

Chapter 86: The Fox with Problems

Xingchahai, in a private room on the third floor of Lvliu Inn.

A gentle knock on the door interrupted the conversation of the five people on the train. Three breaths later, a bare hand pushed the door open. Tingyun, with trembling fox ears, walked into the private room with a serious look on his face. He glanced at the five people and said, "The Taibu Division has sent a message that the 'auspicious time' has arrived. Huixing Port has set up a trap, and is waiting for you, the distinguished guests, to take action."

"Are you not in Liuyun Ferry anymore?" Xing raised his hand and looked at Tingyun curiously.

"You should have encountered this before. A thief was causing trouble in Liuyun Ferry, which frightened the suspect. According to the divination of the Grand Astrologer, Kafka has fled to [Guixing Port]."

"Divination..." March Seven stood up with the captain and Walter, the two 'elders', and said hesitantly, "Relying on metaphysics to catch people, is this reliable?"

"You don't know, my dear guest." Tingyun led the way, leading everyone out of the post house and heading towards Xingcha Port. "This divination is not the innate eight trigrams or the Book of Changes of the past, which is a metaphysical method. Although the divination theory left by our ancestors does make sense, it is an old almanac from thousands of years ago."

Tingyun's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"What I just said about divination is the ability to deduce. It gathers clues and deduce millions of times. With each deduction, various details are collected from the scene. Little by little, the suspect's movements are deduced from the smallest details to the most detailed ones, and then actual evidence can be obtained... This is the divination of the Grand Master."

Cyberdivination.

The captain nodded and went over Tingyun's words in his mind, "So, we can't use this to catch people."

"Indeed." Old Yang also knew a little about fortune-telling. After listening to the ins and outs of 'Taibusi Fortune-telling', he understood what the captain meant.

"It's possible, actually. We can deduce hundreds or thousands of future scenarios and use human power to eliminate the scenes we don't want to see little by little." Tingyun smiled. "However, how to do it specifically involves some secrets of the Taibu Division. I don't know much about it. I only heard that this method will fail if the human and material resources invested are even slightly insufficient."

"That's right." The captain laughed lowly.

"There is a saying from ancient times to the present..."

"Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation."

Man proposes, isn't God dispose?

The captain's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but they also seemed to be simply spoken from his heart. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener took it to heart, and Tingyun secretly kept these words in his heart.

And, learn from it.

"My dear guests, you probably haven't taken a Xing Cha before." Tingyun stopped at the Xing Cha mooring entrance and looked back at the five people on the train. "Next, we will take the Xing Cha to [Liuyun Ferry]."

"I will let you drive the Star Raft. Please come aboard, my dear guests."

The so-called Star Chariot is a kind of private transportation. Compared with those exquisite-looking "private cars" parked at the berth, the Star Chariot that Tingyun and his train companions boarded was probably a "bus".

A group of people came in one after another. Tingyun sat in the driver's seat, started the Star Raft skillfully, and took the train and the people straight to the Jade Realm Gate that was faintly visible in the sky.

"While you were resting, I also used some connections to inquire around." Tingyun, who was driving the Star Raft, said, "The situation in Huixing Port is the same as that in Liuyun Ferry. The Sky Instrument has stopped rotating, and many checkpoints have been shut down or locked."

"The Cloud Cavalry is currently investigating the star core and fending off the bandits in Gathering Star Harbor, so they have no time to spare. You can rest assured that the Cloud Cavalry will not embarrass you. However, the bandits scattered in Gathering Star Harbor may not be so easy to deal with." Tingyun said softly, "The Taibusi has sent someone to wait for you in Gathering Star Harbor. When we arrive, we will be able to meet up with them."

"Come to think of it, I've learned before that the Immortal Boat is managed by six departments. So in terms of the division of power, which departments are responsible for our operation to Huixing Port?" The captain spoke, but asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation.

Tingyun hesitated for a moment, "Logically speaking, it should be General Tiance who gave the order, the Yunqi Army allowed it to pass, the Tianbo Division provided the manpower, and the Taibu Division provided the personnel, and that's how it was divided up."

The captain took a deep look at Tingyun's back and nodded slightly, "Is that so."

However, the captain's gaze turned to Lao Yang imperceptibly.

The two veritable old men looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

There is really something wrong with Tingyun.

how to say?

The division of responsibilities that Tingyun just mentioned makes sense at first glance and is in line with the current situation.

but.......

What she said was totally unlike what a "royal merchant" would say.

Not only is it too simple, but it also has obvious errors and omissions.

General Tiance gave the order, the Cloud Cavalry let them go, the Tianbo Division contributed, and the Taibu Division sent people...

This statement could fool Xing and Sanyue. Yuexia might not want to think too much about it and just listened to it.

But when the captain and Walter heard it, it was... quite ridiculous.

In the whole thing, the ones who really contributed manpower and effort were the Yunqi Army and Jingyuan. After all, it was the Yunqi Army that contributed to the blockade of Star Harbor and the siege of Kafka's retreat.

The real decision to let everyone take action was made under the backdrop of the [Star Core] explosion. The Tianbo Division, which strictly controlled the Jade Realm Gate, had to discuss with Jing Yuan and Yu Kong whether the Cloud Cavalry Army could enter the Return Star Port, how many people could enter, and where to deploy them from and to.

And the fact that Taibusi had someone like him... was a bit too much.

The people sent by Taibusi are here to ensure the implementation of the plan.

After all, it was the Taibusi who arranged the 'auspicious time', and it was the Taibusi who should lead the way and arrange the capture, and the people on the train were just the thugs.

The real full picture should be.

The Taibusi is responsible for arranging and promoting the overall plan.

The Cloud Cavalry Army sent enough personnel to ensure the completion of the plan.

The Tianbosi "dispatching" was responsible for sending the cloud riders assigned by Jingyuandian from all over the Xianzhou to Huixing Port without arousing Kafka's vigilance.

However, Tingyun, who was driving the Star Raft at the moment, couldn't figure out the connections at all.
