24. Padu: The boss is so generous!

According to the information Xiachuan Hu learned from Padufils' memory, although it is incredible, Padufils is indeed a member of the Destiny.

As far as she can remember, she has lived in a nursing home of Tianming in the UK since she was five years old. Now she is 20 years old and is currently a registered employee of Tianming.

"A caregiver at the Dusk Sanatorium in the United Kingdom...a member of the Heavenly Destiny...with the same treatment as a D-rank Valkyrie..."

Looking at the information he searched out after connecting to the internal network of Tianming, Xia Chuanhu frowned tightly and his eyes narrowed into slits.

How should I put it...it's quite unexpected.

Why would one of the Thirteen Fire Chasing Heroes work as a caregiver in a sanatorium under the umbrella of Tianming?

"I'll tell you what I'll tell you!"

On the bed, Paduafilis, who had been untied by Xiachuan Hu, also breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was caught before, she was really scared to death and thought she was going to jail, but now she feels very relaxed.

Because she actually didn't steal anything, and Xia Chuanhu was a person with a destiny just like her. As colleagues, the two of them could turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing. Going to jail was no longer something she needed to worry about.

"So, boss, we are all colleagues after all. As for me breaking into your room...why don't you just forgive me and spare my life? It wasn't easy for me to get on this ship, and I just wanted to make some extra money."

"..."

Xia Chuanhu didn't know what to say for a moment.

But, it was only for a moment.

After putting away his phone and motioning for Padua Felice to sit up straight on the bed, Xia Chuanhu held his forehead and said, "Well... So, your coming to my room was just an accident?"

"correct."

"You didn't get on board through an invitation letter, but sneaked on board?"

"correct."

(Ms. Sakura! Aren’t you the one in charge of checking tickets? How could you let your old friend get on board like that?)

Xia Chuanhu had already sensed the whole situation. If he wanted to board the ship, the only regular way was the entrance that Ying was in charge of. There was no other way. So Padufils either got on the ship by using her inhuman physical ability, or she had a good impression with Ying.

However, since Padufils grew up in the Tianming Nursing Home since she was a child, she should have no intersection with the World Serpent.

(So, she really just got on the ship by accident?)

"......Padocian, please tell me your itinerary from beginning to end."

"Eh? Ah, OK boss!"

Although she didn't know why, Padufils felt that the man in front of her must be a high-ranking official in her destiny. Before leaving under his nose, she had better obey him. "But it's called a trip, but I don't have any plans... I originally came out to kill time, thinking about whether I could pick up some money or something that can be sold on the street. I happened to hear that there was a boat about to leave here, so I came over to watch the excitement."

"Then, I saw that everyone on board was dressed in rich or noble clothes, so I thought I'd make a fortune. But I was unlucky. The first room I entered was yours, boss, and I didn't even get a penny."

(Well... no big deal.)

(Although there are some doubts, it is still within the acceptable range.)

"By the way, boss, you've asked me so many questions, can I ask you something too?"

"Hmm? Ask you if you want to go to jail after this?"

"Yeah!"

Padovich looked a little embarrassed. "I'm not afraid of going to jail. Even if I really go to jail, I can probably get out. But if I stay in jail, Nia's mother will probably worry about me, and I will be scolded by her later. I still feel bad about this."

"You knew that this would make your family worry, but you still came out to be a thief?"

"Oh~~~ I haven't failed before. Boss, you are the first one to catch me." Padufils said proudly at this moment.

Xia Chuanhu also smiled and said, "You are quite interesting - but whether or not to put you in jail depends on your performance."

"Performance?"

"No matter what, you just attempted burglary. If you insist, you have to add a series of crimes such as illegal access. Even if it's me, I can't just let you go without doing anything. Even the former president of a country has to go through the prison process after being arrested."

"So... you want me to compensate you? I, I don't have any money." Padofelice became nervous. "Or do you want me to let you touch my tail?"

"Hmm~~~~"

Xia Chuanhu did not answer immediately, but instead focused on looking at Padufils' tail, which made her shiver. Then he smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Although your tail does feel good, since you are quite sensitive, I won't touch it."

"I want you to do me a favor. If you do it well, I'll pretend I didn't see anything about it. Maybe I'll even give you some extra money."

"——Boss, please give me your orders!"

Padua, who was frightened in the previous second, knelt down on one knee in this second, showing a very loyal gesture.

Looking at her clean and neat movements, Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but sigh that this girl was really naive. He hadn't even said what his request was, but Paduafilis gave in directly... Apart from being a little greedy for money, there should be a reason that she really didn't want to go to jail, right?

(If I hadn't had the right intentions, she would have really suffered... I'll remind her later.)

"Pado...Is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Sure, boss. You can call me Paddo or Phyllis, boss."

"Then Padu, I saw in your Tianming profile that you are good at investigation? Next, I would like to trouble you to help me investigate one or two people on this ship - one is called [Huang Jin Ji], and the other is [Fu Hua] or [Hua]. Tell me when you find their location. If you can do it, I will ignore your previous work."

As Xia Chuanhu spoke, he transferred one thousand dollars from his own account to Padua Felice.

"This thousand is a deposit. I will give you another three thousand after I receive the information and confirm it is correct."

"Boss...you are such a nice person!"

If Padufils was a little afraid of Xia Chuanhu before, now she has no fear at all. If she is not afraid of embarrassment, she would want to cling to Xia Chuanhu's thigh - 4,000 US dollars in extra income for one order! It is almost catching up with her monthly salary!

(As expected of a wealthy person on this ship!)

"Just leave this matter to me, boss! I, Padufils, will not say anything else. As long as the reward is enough, I can get you anything!"

"That would be great. By the way, since you sneaked onto the ship, you probably don't have a place to stay, right? I only have two beds here, but if you're willing to sleep on the floor, I can let you stay. But in exchange..." Xia Chuanhu suddenly put his hand on Padofils' forehead, "I have to take something from you first."

"Just think of it as rent to keep you here, and as a guarantee that you won't run away."

Snapped!

Padufils only felt a flash of electric sparks in front of her eyes, and then she suddenly lost consciousness, and fainted.

He caught her body and carried her, who was as soft as a boneless bone, to the bed. Xia Chuanhu looked at the glimmer of light lingering on his fingertips, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

(Since the World Snake doesn't want a hero, I won't be polite.)

25. Not likable

Just when Xiachuanhu and Padua Felice reached a deal.

In a room on a cruise ship.

"Click..."

With the sound of a door opening, a faint light came into the dim room, but soon disappeared with the sound of the door closing.

Sitting next to the small round table in the room, Fu Hua looked at the person who sat down in front of her: "You're back, Ying?"

"Well, thank you for taking care of Huang Jinji, Hua. How is she doing?"

Sakura didn't look at the girl sitting in the center of the room, blindfolded, her hands and feet bound.

Fu Hua paused, then said in a heavy tone: "As for the current situation, it is the same as before. She doesn't speak, eat or drink. At the same time, no one has been to this room except you."

"Of course. After all, this space is the same as the barrier from two years ago. They are both the product of space magic. You and I are the only ones who have the right to enter and exit. Theoretically, as long as Xia Chuan doesn't take action, even Qian Jie can't force his way in here. Anyway, thank you for your hard work. I brought you some food from the banquet as dinner."

Sakura took the bag in her hand to the table and opened several boxes inside.

Tuna, black pork, pasta... Although the portions are not large, there are many varieties, and the rich aroma fills the dim room.

Without picking up her chopsticks immediately, Fu Hua glanced at Huang Jinji who was not far away: "Doesn't she need to eat?"

"Her body has been specially modified, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't eat or drink."

"...Do you really think this is okay, Sakura?"

Hearing Ying say this, Fu Hua's face flashed with a trace of pity, and she asked coldly: "Let her... let Eden become like this. Do you think Eden... will accept her [resurrection] in this way?"

"will not."

Sakura's answer was decisive.

"If she would have accepted it, she would not have died with the times in more than 50,000 years. You should be clear about this now that you have regained your memory."

"Yes, I know it very well, and so do you." Fu Hua clenched her hands, "And since Eden is gone, we shouldn't continue to do this after she's gone--"

"This is a proposal that was collectively voted through by the Thirteen Heroes."

Ying interrupted Fu Hua.

"Except for those who were absent, the rest of us considered the pros and cons and accepted the suggestion made by Velvi and the magician. Even though Mobius objected, you cast a dissenting vote afterwards, but the result of the vote was this."

"In order to better fight against the collapse, the deceased Yingjie will be cloned through the preserved genes, and the memories of the deceased will be transferred into the clones to create a new generation of Yingjie. You know, Hua, in order to fight against the collapse, we must do our best."

——【Yingjie Rebirth Plan】

After the final battle of the previous civilization, not all heroes survived.

For example, Sakura and Chijie were seriously injured and dying at the time. They were forcibly rescued by the magician at the last second before death, and were directly placed in a hibernation capsule and frozen. They did not wake up until the technology of this era developed.

And like Eden...she chose to pass away with the former civilization.

People at that time respected Eden's ideas, and there was only half a day left before the world was destroyed, so no one had the time to interfere with her decision.

But in the current civilization, in order to better fight against collapse, the power of heroes is necessary.

After all, from the perspective of World Snake, the anti-Honkai organization in this era is really useless. Fighting against Honkai requires unity, but Destiny and Anti-Entropy are constantly fighting among themselves, and facing a mere Second Herrscher, they still ended up in such an embarrassing situation... The cadres of World Snake are actually quite disappointed with Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

Of course, Sakura doesn't think so. Against the Herrscher, being able to win in the end is already the best outcome. The victory of Destiny and Anti-Entropy is unshakable. They have indeed protected the world, and this is something worthy of praise.

But the lack of strength of Destiny and Anti-Entropy is a problem that must be faced.

To do this, the World Snake needs the power of Yingjie - it is not enough to awaken the hibernating Ying and Qianjie, even the deceased Yingjie needs to be allowed to fight against the collapse again if necessary.

And thus, [Golden Princess] was born.

As the first successful individual of the plan, Golden Princess used the Golden Eden as a prototype and successfully reproduced more than 70% of the prototype's power, reaching the standard that can be used in actual combat. Even Professor Mobius, who voted against it at the beginning, could not make any sound at the conference table in the face of this result.

Fu Hua only found out about the above content later.

Of course she knew the horror of Honkai, and she also knew that this was the style of the Fire Moth, but seeing her former comrade-in-arms become what he is now...she just couldn't accept it in her heart no matter what.

"You're not the only one who can't accept it, Hua."

Sakura sighed, "I am also unwilling to accept it, so I have always called her [Golden Princess] and never called her by that name once... In addition, since Golden Princess has been completed, then Vishnu may be the same. She will not be the first, nor the last."

"If you want to stop it, it's useless to tell me. You can only tell Wei Erwei and the others."

"cherry......"

Fu Hua noticed Ying's gaze. Obviously, the only light source in the room came from near Huang Jinji, but Ying deliberately avoided looking at it and kept her eyes elsewhere.

Sakura did vote in favor of Ying Jie's rebirth plan. From the perspective of efficiency and benefits in fighting Honkai, she thought it was right, but that didn't mean Sakura could fully accept this approach.

Sadly, such a plan may be nothing compared to the deep darkness that the Fire Moth once possessed.

"...Can I take her for a walk, Sakura?"

Fu Hua asked, "Just this once, let her...see the outside world like the real Eden, okay?"

"No, in the next instruction of the mission——"

[Sure, let her go out for a walk]

cherry:"!"

Fu Hua: “!”

The laughter that suddenly sounded in their minds made the two of them tremble.

(This sound...)

(Is that you? Magician.)

[Yes, that's the person.]

[I know what you are thinking. Ah Hua's suggestion is not unacceptable. You two should take her out for a walk. It's not good to be locked up in this space all the time - but just this once.]
