Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Black Swan smiled and casually admitted to cooperating with Sand Gold, playing the role of a human trafficker, and even calling Qiong "child," which made her seem more like a child.

"You're selling me?" Qiong asked the black swan speechlessly.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I've reached a cooperation agreement with this gentleman. I won't make excuses, but at least this is a safe zone."

Black Swan looked at Qiong with gentle yet apologetic eyes. She knew that Qiong had never doubted her, but she had betrayed his kindness. A lap pillow was far from enough to repay him.

"What price did you get?" Qiong asked, approaching the black swan.

"This price."

The black swan raised its palm and shook all five fingers upright.

"Then I'll take half."

Qiong grabbed the black swan's hand and held it in her palm, saying...

"This isn't right. I've worked so hard as a human trafficker and this is all I've earned."

The black swan seemed rather reluctant.

"You can't even earn this much without my cooperation. Do you want a next time?" Qiong threatened.

"But I've already spent the money."

"Then repay with your body."

"Eh..."

Black Swan's expression was somewhat bitter, but compared to Qiong ignoring her from now on and treating her as a bad person, this seemed like a better ending. At least she could see that Qiong didn't mind what she had done, so this act of repaying with her body was something she could really consider.

"In short, my friend, you should thank this lady. Far from having any ulterior motives towards you, she saved you."

Sand Gold promptly interrupted Qiong and Black Swan's bargaining, feeling that if this continued, it would never end, and that it was more important to get down to business.

"Save me? From whom did you save me?" Qiong asked.

"From the hands of that sea patrolman."

"?"

Qiong looked at Shajin with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. Shajin felt a little uncomfortable, but when he thought that Qiong and Huangquan had always acted together, he felt relieved. Shajin often played this role, so he quickly got into the zone. The first thing he had to do was to gain Qiong's trust and transfer Qiong's trust from Huangquan to himself before he could make his move.

“Friend, let’s be frank now. This woman named Huang Quan is far more complex than you think. She’s not some sea patrol knight; she’s a messenger who brings death and the end.”

Sand Gold continued to drop bombshells. In this situation, he usually thought the other party would definitely show a surprised expression. However, in his beautiful eyes, he saw Qiong tilt her head in a questioning manner, and then, as if she suddenly realized something, she showed a surprised expression. Sand Gold was unhappy because this expression was too perfunctory. He felt that Qiong was treating him like a fool.

Chapter 83 You Know Too Much

Qiong felt that there might be some information gap between herself and Sha Jin. The entire train crew knew that Huang Quan was the messenger, but Sha Jin seemed to think of it as some kind of secret.

This is understandable, though. Huang Quan usually keeps a low profile. If Qiong hadn't shamelessly invited her to join the team when she appeared at the space station, she probably would have left that very day. Then came Belloborg, a place with limited access to information, so Sand Gold couldn't possibly know that Huang Quan had ever been there.

Huang Quan displayed the prowess of a Commander on the Immortal Ship, but Jing Yuan blocked all information. Apart from the Great Lord of Extinction, Huan Long, no one would spread news about Huang Quan. Huan Long obviously couldn't be on the same side as the company. Therefore, due to this information gap, Sha Jin believed that Huang Quan's status as a Commander was a big secret worth using as leverage.

"Let me give you some inside scoop from the company, my friend. Do you know Lord Hades, the Lord of Darkfire, or Alfred of Topfit?"

Sand Gold felt this wouldn't do and that he should increase his stakes, so he told Qiong about the Grand Duke of the Underworld. Qiong was also surprised to hear this. Sand Gold thought this was a good idea, as things were finally developing as he had imagined.

"Judging from your surprised expression, you must have heard of the infamous reputation of the Darkfire Duke. The Annihilation Gang committed countless evil deeds, but they were wiped out before they even set off for Pinocchio."

Sand Gold said with a smile. Qiong's expression was somewhat strained. He waited for Sand Gold to finish speaking before politely asking his question.

"May I ask, who told you this?"

"Of course it's the company's information department. The information there is secure and accurate. It happened not long ago; I just received the news myself."

Sand Gold said with a smile that the company's information sources are of course reliable, and the information about the Grand Duke of the Netherfire was obtained by the company's undercover agents in the Annihilation Gang through their hard work.

"Oh, okay, then please continue."

Qiong was a little embarrassed. He wanted to tell Sha Jin that he was the person involved and that he and Huang Quan had joined forces to kill the entire Minghuo family. However, seeing the other party's confident appearance, he decided not to discourage Sha Jin's confidence.

"The Duke of the Underworld is dead."

Sand Gold spoke in a terrifying tone. An outsider might have been intimidated by him, but with the murderer right in front of her, Qiong didn't know whether she should show any guilt. Surely no police would come to arrest her.

"Ah, oh, they deserved to die."

Qiong nodded at Sha Jin and gave the response a normal person would give, so Sha Jin continued speaking.

"They were wiped out on their way to the meeting. The killer brutally murdered Alfredo in a masterful way and stole the invitation that the Annihilation Gang had received."

"This is outrageous! I'm calling the police."

Qiong spoke righteously, and Sha Jin gave him a strange look. This guy had nothing to do with being a righteous citizen, let alone the kind of villain who died.

"And then, a mysterious seafaring ranger arrived in Pinocchio and checked into the hotel with a music box... Do I need to continue, my friend?"

Sand Gold smiled and said to Qiong, who shook his head. He had registered at the front desk with the music box along with Huang Quan, so he knew much more than Sand Gold.

"Is there any other evidence?"

Qiong thought for a moment and asked. He felt that as Huang Quan's accomplice, he should clean up the mess for her. At this time, he should ask if there was any evidence of their murder and robbery, and then erase it. This was what Wuming Ke should do.

"The patrolling knights are elusive and rarely interact with each other. This outfit is too comfortable to wear. As long as she doesn't confess, there's no way to prove anything. The company has ways to investigate, but it will take time."

Sand Gold shrugged helplessly, then turned to look at the Dream Pool in the room, showing his sincerity and confidence with his back to Qiong.

"So, my friend, it's time for you to make a choice... You can leave here without looking back, forever giving up the chance to get closer to the truth."

As Sand Gold spoke, he didn't look behind him. Qiong had already taken out her baseball bat and was sneaking up on him from behind. Black Swan was stunned when she saw this scene. She rushed up and hugged Qiong's body, shaking her head repeatedly.

Qiong rubbed her body against the black swan, which felt very comfortable, but she still told him with her eyes that she was going to kill Sand Gold to silence him. Only Sand Gold knew about this, and if she killed him, Huang Quan would be safe.

Black Swan continued to shake her head, then pointed to her face, implying that she also knew about the matter and should be silenced as well.

"In return, you can accept my invitation and learn a fact, a fact that is enough to overturn Pinocene."

Completely unaware that the two people behind him were fighting, Sand Gold continued to confidently talk to himself, and then turned around to look.

At this moment, both Qiong and Black Swan were somewhat disheveled. Sand Gold noticed that Qiong's right hand was hidden behind his back, and he didn't know what Qiong was doing. Black Swan also tried to cover for him, and a polite smile appeared on her face.

"I need your help, so I'll wait for you. But it won't be long, once you're ready... catch up."

Sand Gold said with a smile, then brushed past Qiong and left the guest room, leaving Qiong with the time to make a decision and giving him time to have a private chat with Black Swan.

"Qiong, what are you doing?"

Black Swan felt like she was going crazy. She never dreamed that someone would be preparing to kill Sand Gold, one of the ten members of the Stoneheart Company, with a single blow in front of her. Could that blow really kill Sand Gold? That guy clearly had a protective blessing on him. There were too many things to complain about, and Black Swan was starting to lose her composure.

"Why don't you guess what I and Huang Quan did before?"

Qiong, looking arrogant, hoisted her baseball bat onto her shoulder and spoke to the black swan through her nostrils.

"Well, I also know about the matter of Duke Minghuo, which is why I went to invite Huang Quan to dance."

Black Swan coughed and had no choice but to tell everything she knew. In fact, she also knew who was involved in the death of the Darkfire Duke, which made her reckless search for the Yellow Springs understandable.

"So you knew too. Then you can't stay."

Qiong glared fiercely at Black Swan and pressed her closer. Black Swan had no choice but to retreat to the corner of the wall, where Qiong pinned her in a small space.

“I also have some useful things, like lap pillows.”

Black Swan raised her hands in a gesture of surrender. She was playing along with Qiong. In this dream world made of memories, she didn't even need a physical body and could appear anywhere. How could she be threatened by Qiong?

"Hmm, if you're willing to be my wife, then you're on the same pirate ship as me, so I'll let you go."

Qiong revealed a delighted smile and said, looking exactly like a villain who forces a good woman into prostitution, leaving even the Black Swan speechless.

Chapter 84 Who Killed the Mockingbird?

"Are you really an anonymous passenger? Is your train some kind of pirate ship that's been converted into a train?" Black Swan asked.

"Hey, even though we're close, I'm still going to sue you for defamation if you say that."

Qiong said unhappily, "It's fine to criticize myself, but it's problematic to criticize the train crew. Apart from March 7 being a little slow, everyone else is a good person."

"Actually, you didn't need to silence Sand Gold at all. The Lord of the Underworld is a villain. No one will come after you and Huang Quan even if he dies. Do you think the Galactic Police would be so idle?"

Black Swan complained that she was afraid Qiong would try to silence Sand Gold's wife Lu Yishan again, so she could only try to persuade him to stay quiet for now.

"That's true, but I'm also afraid of malicious rumors. The subordinates of the Duke of Netherfire are nothing to be afraid of, but being surrounded by flies all day long can ruin your mood."

Qiong stroked his chin and said that the fewer people who knew about what he and Huang Quan did, the better. Heaven knows how many die-hard fans the Grand Duke of Minghuo still had. Qiong didn't like being stalked by flies.

"Then why don't you go and cooperate with Sand Gold and ask him to keep it a secret? Anyway, you can't escape the Pinocone thing, so why not go and see what the truth he's telling you is?"

“I will protect you. Once I have obtained more information from him, I will escort you back to my companions.”

"At the same time, for the sake of the truth, and to prevent more unnecessary sacrifices... this is the right choice."

The black swan earnestly advised Qiong to listen, and Qiong was indeed someone who listened to advice, and he had also made an agreement with the robin, but at this time he also had to fight for his own interests.

"You sided with him, so you got paid again?"

"We did manage to take it, but that's definitely the best solution at the moment."

Black Swan gave an awkward smile. Actually, she wasn't a greedy person. She preferred collecting memories to money. But the Memory Master couldn't conjure money out of thin air, and sometimes she needed money to solve problems.

"This time, we'll split it 50/50, and collect some interest first."

Qiong raised her right hand, spread her five fingers in front of the black swan, and then slowly closed them.

"Give me a kiss on the cheek."

Qiong turned her head to face the black swan, whose eyes were full of helplessness, but she showed no intention of bargaining with Qiong.

"Good good."

As Black Swan spoke, she kissed Qiong's face with her soft lips. The touch in the dream felt very real. As a memory user, she could do more things in the dream, which was even more exciting than in reality. For a memory user without a physical form, it didn't really matter what her body was like, as long as she was happy.

"It's delicious."

Qiong could smell the faint fragrance emanating from the Black Swan. Although he knew that the Memory Ones had no physical form, the fact that the Black Swan appeared in this form proved that this was her true form. Surely not everyone was a phantom.

“Yi Ting’s gaze is everywhere. If he wants to make a move against you, he should be prepared to become an enemy of Yi Zhe. I have already reminded him of this.”

Black Swan said softly that although she always sold Qiong for a good price, she only pushed him towards a win-win situation and would never let him suffer a loss, let alone get hurt. Therefore, she felt at ease selling Qiong these times.

"She's already thinking about me like this before we're even married. What will she be like after we're married?"

Qiong said to the black swan with an exaggerated expression. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. The composure of an older sister was on full display. She showed no shyness or resistance like a robin and accepted his teasing with ease.

"From now on, I will accompany you in the form of a meme, just in case."

As Black Swan spoke, her body gradually disappeared. She said she was serious about protecting Qiong, so she naturally accompanied him in the form of air, which was also the source of her ability to appear and disappear unpredictably.

"So you also have a meme body," Qiong said in surprise.

"Stop playing puns with me."

Black Swan watched as Qiong went to the room where Sand Gold was, and a smile appeared on her face. She felt that she and Qiong were not in a relationship of mutual exploitation. He used a strange method to turn their relationship from exploitation to ambiguity. Before things were over, no one knew how this relationship would turn out, adding an unknown factor.

The room where Sand Gold was located was filled with many dream bubbles. After entering, Qiong's eyes were filled with bubbles, and she couldn't see the situation in the room clearly for a while.

"Look, my friend, the game has already begun. Let's make a deal; you can't refuse."

As Sand Gold spoke, he pushed aside all the dream bubbles around him, revealing the scene inside the Dream Pool. When Qiong saw the situation in the pool, he stood there dumbfounded, because what he saw was the body of the robin lying in the pool. At this moment, there was a vertical crack on the little bird's chest. Qiong was very familiar with that wound, it was exactly the same as when he was stabbed by the Memories of the Memory Domain.

"There is no reason, and there is no room for maneuver."

Sand Gold was very satisfied with Qiong's current expression. Anyone would look like that when they saw the robin being killed. Qiong may seem carefree, but in this situation, he was actually quite... He started taking off his clothes.

"What are you going to do, friend?"

Sand Gold quickly grabbed Qiong's arm and stopped him before he could take off his pants.

"Of course, let's do it while it's hot! You can't just touch a robin's body like that. I'll try the nest first..."

Qiong said in a serious tone, but the black swan that had turned into thin air was already slapping him, as if it were a gentle breeze, and Qiong didn't react at all.

Before Qiong could finish speaking, he saw the robin in the Dream Pool turn into bubbles and disappear, as if it had never existed. He couldn't help but look at the gold dust.

"What about people?"

"This is not the scene of the crime. What I am showing you is a memory, the simplest light cone presentation technology, authorized by Yiting, and owned by the company."

Sand Gold raised his hand to press his head and said that his head was throbbing. He felt that he had been blinded by greed and had decided to cooperate with this Star Core Essence. If possible, he would like to ask Black Swan for a refund.

"You should have said so earlier! You made me happy for nothing."

Qiong said disappointedly. He was still thinking of hugging the little bird, but since the little bird master wouldn't let him hug her, they had only reached the point of holding hands. He didn't know how long he would have to wait to replicate that kiss.

"No normal person would say the word 'happy' under such circumstances."
