"A bad guy doesn't necessarily look like this, but someone who looks like this is definitely a bad guy." Walter said firmly. He glanced at the coffin next to Luosha, "Can you guess what's in his coffin?"

"...It can't be Kallen, right?" Ji Zi shook her head. It didn't make sense that he was a traveling merchant but was carrying a coffin with him.

Walter shook his head and said, "I can't guess. It's possible that he's Kallen's counterpart, but that's just a possibility... The important thing is, he must have some unknown conspiracy hidden."

Ever since he became Otto's rival, he had experienced this man's methods more than once.

"Merchant..." Walter repeated meaningfully: "If this man is willing to be just a merchant, he would be doing a disservice to his reputation."

"What is that coffin?" Dan Heng asked again.

"Oh, that was a fateful one. I accidentally got caught up in a battle and, for no apparent reason, was forced to help return a body to the immortal ship."

"After they chatted for a while, Dan Heng turned back to Su Shang. Besides asking about the blockade of Luofu, he also asked about the man named Luosha."

"Have you and this Rakshasa known each other before?"

"I don't know him. Didn't I meet him and you at the same time?" Jing Danheng mentioned this, and Su Shang recalled, "But I seem to have seen him somewhere before? He looks familiar... Where was it..."

"Could this Rakshasa in the curtain have also been to places like Mobei with Su Shang?"

As Youlandel spoke, she looked at Li Suchang with strange eyes.

"Come on, that's the Milky Way, how can it be called a desert?" Li Sushang glared at Youlan Dai'er speechlessly: "Besides, Luosha's personality is too different from his..."

In her memory, Luosharen had a rather aloof personality. During the days of sword testing in Mobei, she rarely saw him smile.

This Mr. Rakshasa is unexpectedly gentle and considerate. Compared to the Rakshasa people who quietly keep people at a distance, he is more proactive.

But with that face, it's hard to tell whether Luosha has any ulterior motives...

Chapter 109 Lu Mingfei: Brother, how about the three of us playing mahjong with Eiry?

"After the three of us have rested, we will team up again and set off."

"Along the way, Dan Heng discovered March's Six-phase Ice and realized they might have fought someone."

"Fortunately, they were lucky this time. They successfully avoided most of the monsters and found a Star Raft. They successfully left this place and headed to the center of the Star Raft Sea."

“…………”

"Xing, after receiving Dan Heng's text message, was about to put her phone away when a stranger suddenly sent her a message."

"Hello everyone, I've been waiting for you. It seems like it's about time, right? I'm busy with something important right now, so please come find me here."

"There's a picture of the address at the back."

"What does this mean? It's just a picture. Are we supposed to meet at this place?" Sanyueqi said, inexplicably excited. "It's like a kidnapper meeting in a movie."

"The group followed the map and searched for the area."

"It looked like a card parlor. Four people were sitting around a table, happily playing cards."

"Hurry up, Qingque! By the time you pull this off, we'll all be dead."

"I heard that Taibusi's cave was also struck by disaster. Qingque, why are you still thinking about playing cards?"

"Several poker players were discussing this at the table."

Across the card table, a pretty girl with her long light brown hair tied into two low ponytails spread her hands, her emerald eyes filled with relief.

"Alas, even if the sky falls, the Grand Master will still hold it up. Although she may be short, her abilities are unparalleled."

"Besides, I'm not here for fun. I'm here on her orders, waiting for the arrival of a distinguished guest. Time is so precious. This is called 'slacking off and working at the same time.'"

Inside a love hotel on the outskirts of Shinjuku, Japan.

While watching the light screen, Lu Mingfei ate hot pot, which was stewed with beef, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, radish... The aroma was fragrant.

A rainstorm suddenly came a few minutes ago. In such a cold and rainy weather, there is nothing more pleasant than eating hot pot in a warm room... If there is anything, it can only be the stunning girl in pajamas next to me eating hot pot with me.

Two pairs of chopsticks rose and fell high, sweeping away everything in a flash.

After eating and drinking, Lu Mingfei sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and burped, while Eiry sat on the sofa, staring at the light screen intently.

Heavy rain hit the window, and the rustling sound enveloped the whole world. People returning home late trotted past with umbrellas. The streets gradually became empty, and the traffic lights changed monotonously.

The room was so quiet that it made people feel a little guilty. Lu Mingfei had no experience chatting up girls, but thankfully the light curtain appeared in time, creating a lot of topics for him and this humanoid nuclear weapon.

When she saw Qingque appear, the beautiful girl picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the notebook.

"What are they playing?" Uesugi Eriya wrote the question obediently in a small notebook and brought it to Lu Mingfei.

What should he say? Diyuan Qiongyu tiles? But could she understand this? Lu Mingfei could tell that this card game was similar to the traditional Chinese game from his hometown, and the gameplay must be similar. After a moment's thought, he picked up a pen and wrote on the notebook: "This is Mahjong."

"It seems fun." Eri responded in the notebook.

Lu Mingfei thought, "Hey, hey, this is more than just fun! He wondered how many people in his hometown would stay up all night playing cards. After all, these were carefully selected by our ancestors, and the main trick was a simple yet addictive hand."

"Sakura, can you teach me?" Eri wrote again.

"Okay, but it takes four people to play mahjong. If you want to play, you'll have to find two more. It's raining so hard today, so let's forget it, shall we?"

"I can ask my brother to call two people over."

"Fuck, let me do it!" Lu Mingfei was sweating profusely. He knew that hundreds of thousands of people in the city were looking for him. As Tokyo's most wanted criminal, wasn't this equivalent to asking the police to come to his house to arrest him?

But thinking carefully, his only current mission was to protect Eri and preserve this humanoid weapon for the short term. If he taught her mahjong, who knows, this monster lady would become addicted and play for ten days or half a month?

As for the other two...

Lu Mingfei took out his cell phone from his pocket and sent a text message to Caesar and Chu Zihang.

How can two people play mahjong? These two guys must also join in! !

"Looking at the photos, this is it. It's a card room. What kind of trouble could there be here?" Sanyueqi was completely confused.

"Huh? This card isn't a problem? What the hell did I draw..." Qingque's face was in agony, like a player who had consumed the combat points of the Fireworks ultimate skill and still hadn't drawn a card, and his blood pressure was so high!"

"Thankfully, she managed to divert some of her attention from the card table and finally noticed the guests behind her."

"Hey, ahahaha... Hello, all three! From the noble looks you three have on your faces, I know you must be distinguished guests of the Taibushi!"

"You don't want Master Taibu to know you're playing cards, do you?" Xing said with a wicked smile.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, so sorry. I was going to wait for you guys too... Hey, um, pong!" Qingque quickly touched the cards and turned back to look at the others: "It's just that the area around here has been taken over by the Land Investor Service, so it's really noisy... Eat!"

“I thought to myself, if I were to meet you all in such a noisy place, wouldn’t it be… my turn? Argh! !”

"Qingque lowered his head to analyze the situation at the table while continuing, "...wouldn't that be a real bummer? Why not just take advantage of this free time and wait for me...this hand...to win!!"

"Xinghe Sanyueqi is just too dumbfounded."

Qingque smiled contentedly, "My wish here is fulfilled, and I have nothing to worry about. Please, guest, let's go."

"Is this card game really that fun?"

Inside Takama-ga-hara, Caesar watched in confusion as Qingque, obsessed with playing cards, appeared on the screen. He had seen students playing cards at the academy a few years ago, but unfortunately, he had never learned how to play.

"I've never played it." Chu Zihang still had a stern face. He was an expert at using a knife to chop people, but as for playing cards... he himself couldn't imagine himself bossing around at the card table.

As he was speaking, Chu Zihang's phone suddenly started vibrating. He picked it up and took a look. It was a text message from Lu Mingfei.

"What did he say?" Caesar leaned forward, staring at the fluorescent screen. "Looking after a beautiful girl won't be a problem, right?"

"No, he wants to invite us to play mahjong together." Chu Zihang's expression was serious and earnest, "...with that monster girl."

Chapter 110: Becoming a giant... is it considered a demonic body to some extent?

"Led by Qingque, the group headed to where the Starship was parked."

"While walking, San Yue Qi's eyes were suddenly attracted by something in the distance."

"Xing, look, that's...?" Sanyueqi was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. He quickly took out his camera and took pictures.

"It was a massive tree that towered into the clouds, its thick trunk standing tall like a pillar supporting the heavens. Unfortunately, only a bare stump remained. From afar, it looked like a giant dragon poking its head out from the clouds, desolate and awe-inspiring."

"That's the ancient tree called Jianmu, a treasure once the pride of the Luofu Immortal Boat." Tingyun also stopped and explained to the others.

"Are the people at the Tianbosi also so knowledgeable about history?" Qingque asked in surprise. "It's amazing! Even the new generation can hardly tell its origins. It's said that this Jianmu is a remnant left behind when an ancient immortal ship traveled to the outer space."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that it looks like just half a dead tree from a distance. According to the records in the Shangguo Menghualu, in its prime, it was so huge that it 'climbed the sky and hung down from the stars'!"

"Uh... what do you mean?" Sanyueqi didn't quite understand.

“It means that this tree is so tall that it can reach the sky, and its branches can hold down the stars,” Walter explained.

"The miracles left by the God of Plenty's appearance in Luofu... from this perspective, they are truly magnificent."

"However, no matter how prosperous it was in its heyday, it is now nothing more than a lifeless piece of wood."

"Reiner, that's really rude of you."

In the forest outside Maria's wall, Reiner, Bertolt and Annie, who were in charge of the investigation, were lying on the branches of a giant tree, chatting intermittently.

The Survey Corps dispatched four teams to explore and gather intelligence, citing the "effects of the light curtain on the Titans." Initially, Reiner was reluctant to take on the mission, but considering that only Annie and Bertolt were on the team, he finally agreed.

As a squad of warriors from the Marleyan military, it was rare for the three of them to have a pleasant chat in such a quiet environment.

"Reiner, have you heard about what's happening in the capital?" Bertolt cupped his warm tea in his palm and started talking. "I heard from the Military Police that the capital has begun research on 'immortality', and the main focus now is on Titans."

"There were even people in the palace who were directing their research on immortality towards Allen... but the matter was quickly suppressed."

When Eren was mentioned, Reiner suddenly felt the temperature around him become gloomy and cold. He didn't know whether it was because of the damp water vapor in the forest or the mountain mist rushing through the forest after nightfall.

It was Ani who first broke the awkward atmosphere.

She shrugged her shoulders, her delicate face filled with confusion and disdain. "Haha, quite the opposite... If you want to live long, it's best to stay away from that kind of thing, right?"

After inheriting the power of the Titans, they only have thirteen years left to live. No matter how you look at it, they are the group furthest away from "immortality", right?

"Why do those people in the royal capital associate giants with 'immortality'?" Reiner asked puzzledly.

"They made their judgment based on the intelligence from the Survey Corps."

Bertolt calmly took a sip of his tea. "The fact that the Titans are infertile and have been able to continue threatening humanity for hundreds of years is closely related to their almost endless lifespan... Doesn't this also connect to immortality?"

"But their concern is that after death, the giant's flesh vaporizes and dissipates, leaving only a massive skeleton. They originally wanted to cut off pieces of the giant's flesh and use them as an elixir for their experiments..."

"Ugh..." Reiner suddenly felt nauseous.

"That's ridiculous... So, their research has stagnated?" Ani sneered.

"No, it's more like a leap forward," Bertolt said. "Remember the last ingredient in the recipe Xing gave Danshu? 'Chimingsui'... that's part of the dragon's spinal cord. Inspired by this, the nobles thought of the giants, and planned to use their spinal cord as the key to their elixir of immortality."

"Oh... well, it's a relief those guys have such a strong appetite." Reiner felt even more disgusted. "Since they're so eager for immortality, they should try Zeke's spinal fluid."

"But for them, does turning into a giant count as some kind of... 'demonoid body'?"

"Xing took one last look at Jianmu and followed Qingque away."

"We took a detour and quickly boarded the Starship bound for Taipusi."

"Qingque happily walked to the gate, but found that it was suddenly locked."

"Eh? That's weird, the door's locked? It's never been locked before... and no one reminded me to bring my key..." Qingque called out to the inside of the door. "No matter how bad the food in the cafeteria is, you can't just turn away our guests!"

Sanyueqi said with disgust: "Are you really from Taipusi?"

"Xing: "Is there a possibility that you were fired?"

"That doesn't make sense." Qingque scratched his head, bewildered. "I've already been demoted to managing the library. What else does she want?"

But Qingque quickly put the matter behind him and said with a confident smile, "Don't panic! The Taibusi has more than one door. I know a place where we can enter and exit in an emergency."

"As he said this, he led a few people to the side door of Taipusi.

"I see you're familiar with this place. You often use this side door when you have free time, right?" March Seven teased.

"Having been exposed by this, Qingque not only did not feel guilty, but instead spoke without concealment: "Young lady, you have a sharp eye. Those who work at the Taibusi call this gate the 'Xiaoyao Gate.'"

"When we have nothing to do, we often escape from here and spend a few hours relaxing outside."

"How many hours?!" Asaba Yuzhen's eyes widened. How long was a typical workday? Doesn't that mean that besides clocking in and out, the rest of the time is spent outside letting loose?

Asaba Yuma lazily slumped down on the table: "When will this Taipusi open a branch in New Eridu? I urgently need this job——"

……murderous look!

There is a murderous aura behind him!

Asaba Yuma suddenly felt like a thorn in his back and quickly sat down at his workstation.

Yue Chengliu stood behind him holding a stack of forms. Even without saying a word, the whole office could feel her amazing aura.
