Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

He met two other people.

"This isn't right, and that isn't right either... How can I solve this?"

A sweet-looking girl with twin ponytails and wearing a female Cloud Rider costume was standing in front of a locked door, her arms folded in confusion.

Next to him stood a blond man with a slender figure and a handsome appearance.

Compared with the pure and beautiful knight Yinzhi that Dan Heng had seen before, she was even better.

"Miss Su Shang, why don't you let me take a look?"

"That's not right. It's not that I don't trust you, but the Cloud Cavalry has rules in this regard. Disclosing the secret of opening and closing the mechanism door without permission—what's the secret? Anyway, civilians can't see it. Stand back and don't peek!"

The girl called Su Shang shook her head repeatedly, her big puppy-like eyes looking somewhat pitiful.

Seeing her like this, the blond man dressed as a traveling merchant did not force her, but just stood beside the coffin, looking a little helpless.

But soon, he noticed Dan Heng's arrival, and the look he gave him seemed friendly and easy-going.

"Huh, I didn't expect there were others trapped here like us. I'm Luosha, a wandering merchant. May I know your name, friend?"

"..."

Dan Heng's silence was interpreted as a reluctance to have too much contact with strangers, but the man who called himself Rakshasa still appeared calm, and only reminded Miss Yunqijun who was considering whether to physically pry the door open.

"Ahem. Miss Suchang——"

"Oh, don't bother me. I'm almost done, don't rush me."

Su Shang was fighting a battle of wits and courage with the mechanism lock. She clearly remembered that she had learned these things somewhere before, but this time she just couldn't put them together completely.

"We should turn back here and continue pushing forward. Fill in the gaps and then we'll have a fuller section."

A cold male voice gave her instructions, and Su Chang, who was originally a little confused, subconsciously did what he said.

Then, with a click, the door opened.

"Hey, I did it? Great!"

Before Su Chang had time to think about how she could understand such complicated words, she burst into cheers.

She had been stuck here for several hours and couldn't move forward, unable to unlock the door.

Since she couldn't open the door, she couldn't go over there to adjust the mechanism and move the logistics carriage that was blocking the way ahead. She knew that the destination was ahead, but she was blocked and couldn't move forward. It was so frustrating.

But when she reacted, she took a few steps back and put her hands in a warning gesture.

"Wait, who are you? You suddenly got so close to me and scared me!?"

Dan Heng remained calm and didn't even bother to answer.

The Rakshasa next to him just held his forehead and shook his head, as if he was not used to the girl's antics yet.

However, it was Su Shang who first discovered some familiarity in Dan Heng's steps and the way he held the gun.

"The way you hold your gun, your footwork... plus the words you just gave me, could it be that you're also a member of the Cloud Cavalry?"

Her eyes lit up, and her previous wariness disappeared in an instant. Instead, she patted her chest and spoke proudly, as if she had found a fellow villager.

"I'm Yunqi Suchang. I was just transferred here from the "Yaoqing" fairy ship! As soon as I landed, I received a military order to come here to rescue civilians.

As for the result... Hey, you saw it too. Although we found it, our way was blocked by this big thing. Luckily you came. Let's evacuate quickly!"

However, Dan Heng still did not answer, but just shook his head, indicating that he was not a member of the Cloud Cavalry.

However, this action made Su Chang's pretty eyes widen and her face was full of surprise.

"Why are you so silent? You're like a mute person. I clearly heard a sound earlier."

After these words were spoken, the Rakshasas behind them couldn't help laughing.

Even Dan Heng couldn't help but be defeated and could only sigh.

"...My name is Dan Heng. I traveled here and was about to meet up with a friend. The only reason I offered my help was to open up the passage. So, please don't worry, young lady. I'll take my leave now."

"That won't do. It's already late, and Xingcha Sea has already been evacuated. There are probably only three unlucky people like us left. As long as your friend is safe, he will definitely stay in the safe zone ahead!"

When it came to her job, Su Shang showed an exceptionally stubborn side. Or, if she hadn't insisted on fighting with the mechanism door before and asked Mr. Luosha to come, the two of them might have gotten out long ago and wouldn't have been trapped until now to open the passage.

"this..."

"Don't worry. Come with me, we'll see him when we get there. If we can't find him, I'll go find him for you myself!"

Seeing Dan Heng's hesitation, Su Shang said chivalrously.

"Don't look at me like this. From finding cats, finding people, and picking up children, to wielding a sword to kill enemies and slay evil creatures, I say Yao Qing is second to none. No one dares to claim first place!"

"Really? Miss Su Shang is so famous?"

Luosha always felt that this statement was exaggerated, but unexpectedly the girl revealed the truth in an instant and said with a silly smile.

"The future, yes, it is. Right now, we are just newcomers!"

There was nothing he could do with her, so Dan Heng had to follow her to the safe zone.

However, I don’t know whether it is the influence of the star core or the artificial adjustment of the weather mimicry device on the fairy boat.

The sky of Luofu was covered with dark clouds at some point, as if a torrential rain would fall at any moment to wash away the filth of the world.

There was also a hint of sticky moisture in the air, giving people a feeling of depression and gloom.

Su Shang didn't notice anything, she just quickened her pace and talked as she ran.

"Wow, it really is like a double whammy! We need to hurry, or we'll be soaked to the skin!"

Luosha naturally also carried the coffin with him, but Danheng was the only one who felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.

What kind of turmoil happened in the Immortal Boat...?

Why does such a strange phenomenon appear?

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Although the weather was bad and there was some fog, the Luofu residents, whose biological clocks had already been adjusted, were already accustomed to it.

Although the Immortal Boat is a giant ship galloping across the sea of ​​stars, the simulated environment inside can perfectly reproduce weather conditions such as sunny, cloudy, and rainy days. The change of day and night is only its most basic function. Otherwise, considering the long lifespan of the Immortal Boat, looking at the unchanging sky all day long would be too depressing.

Therefore, although there were rumors not long ago that the Medicine King Secret had attacked Xingcha Sea, with the Cloud Cavalry at the front to hold it off, the other residents of the Immortal Boat were able to lead their normal lives as usual.

Tan Tan, the staff member responsible for measuring the speed of the Star Ships traveling to and from the port, yawned as he walked towards the observation position.

People in their line of work have to get up early and go to bed late. Any dereliction of duty may result in the loss of a young life. This is why they don't sleep in.

However, it was inevitable that he would feel sleepy when he woke up early. After rubbing his eyes, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something hanging under the bridge over the harbor.

But there was fog and it was vague and not very clear.

When he took a few more steps forward and opened his eyes wide to identify it, the outline of the human figure suddenly scared him.

Immediately afterwards, a speeding star ship flew past, and then there was a loud noise of flesh colliding with the star ship. The star ship suddenly left the orbit and hit the guardrail next to it directly.

The people on the opposite street also subconsciously looked over there, and the woman who came out of the Xingcha carriage tremblingly to investigate the situation also screamed.

"what!!!"

The terrified Tan Tan was immediately awakened by the shrill scream. He hurried out and leaned over to check from the side of the bridge.

The moment he saw the tragic state of the corpse, Tan Tan subconsciously held his breath, his pupils trembled, and he was unable to speak.

No need to describe it anymore.

As the light mist dissipated in a short time, the fox woman whose abdomen was pierced by the tip of the star raft and was nailed to the wall like an insect had her body tilted.

The dark red clothes on his body were blown by the cold wind, and the stagnant blood in his body splashed due to the impact, forming a tragic yet enchanting horror picture.

He knew that fox woman. She was the famous ferryman in the Tianbo Division - Miss Tingyun!

Chapter 9 Search! Search! Search!

morning.

March 7th yawned as he walked out of the upper room, then skillfully turned left and knocked on other people's doors.

The person closest to her was Xing. When she opened the door, the ends of her long gray hair stuck up, and there was an uncontrollable alopecia on the top of her head.

"Good morning, how did you sleep? Did you dream about anyone?"

Seeing her dazed, San Yue Qi couldn't help but want to tease her and winked at her mischievously.

"No. I didn't dream about anything. I just closed my eyes and opened them again, and then you woke me up."

Xing shook her head and scratched her head with her hands without any ladylike grace, just as if to smooth her hair, and then followed March 7 to call other people.

The person closest to her was Wendy. After they knocked on the door for a while, he slowly came over to open the door. He was still dressed as a bard, but he looked like he had not slept well.

"Hey, looking at you like this, did you sneak into someone's dream again last night?"

March 7th touched the boy's cheek, which was soft and elastic, and it was so tempting to pinch it that it was hard to let go.

However, before March 7 could continue to experience the feeling, her hand was gently slapped away by the other party. Covering her slightly red cheeks, Wendy said resentfully.

"Really? Even if I have this ability, it doesn't mean I'm a bad guy who likes to peek into other people's dreams."

"Hehe. That's true... I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

Sanyueqi smiled ingratiatingly and ran to Wendy to massage his shoulders. Xing admired the woman's energy that had nowhere to go since the whole morning.

"Hmm...Mitsuki-chan is indeed very cute. Do you want to forgive me~"

Wendy squinted her eyes in comfort, looking at her increasingly brilliant smile, which was as cunning as a cat's.

"Well, I can give you my shrimp dumplings for breakfast! But in exchange, you have to give me half of your juice!"

I looked at the meal schedule yesterday, March 7th. Since it is the highest-end service, the quality of the food is very high. If you exchange it with others, you will feel like family.

Wendy readily accepted her suggestion, and Xing agreed that she would take whatever they wanted to eat from the two of them.

As for Uncle Yang——

No one went to call him, after all, Uncle Yang must have gotten up early to read the newspaper.

As expected, as soon as everyone went down the stairs, they saw him sitting on the sofa in the reception area, but Uncle Yang's expression seemed a little solemn.

"Good morning, Uncle Yang!"

San Yue Qi greeted him lively, but because of this greeting, the other guests in the inn all looked over. Some of them were fine, but the others started whispering to each other.

As he passed by them, Xing vaguely heard the words "murder", "pitiful", and "case filed".

Wendy also restrained her smile a little and just stared at those people thoughtfully.

"Hey, what happened? Why do I feel like everyone is looking at us strangely?"

San Yueqi has a simple and cheerful personality, but is very sensitive to the good and evil views of the outside world. Thinking of Uncle Yang's expression just now, she also had a bad premonition in her heart.

Uncle Yang, who was greeted by her, also looked up at them, waved for everyone to come over, and then whispered.

"Something's happened. I'm afraid we're going to be in trouble—"

"Trouble, uh... Speaking of which, the text message we sent yesterday did fail. Could it be because of the star core explosion?"

March 7 scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"That shouldn't be the case. Long-distance communication technology is still immature, so there's a high chance it could have been tampered with. If nothing unexpected happens, this must have been the work of that little hacker."

Walter's face was serious, but it was obviously not directed at the failure of the message sending. Even if the little hacker had high hacking skills, he was confident that he could handle it.

The more pressing issue at hand is...

Just as he was about to explain, a cold and heroic female voice came from outside.

"Cloud Cavalry soldiers, listen to my command—surround this place!"

What followed was the sound of the Cloud Cavalry's footsteps, and then a dozen Cloud Cavalry soldiers holding formation swords entered the inn and immediately sealed off the scene.

Behind them stood Yukong, a familiar figure among the pioneers. She remained expressionless as she had yesterday, but a gloomy glint clung to her eyes.

Seeing that the person had arrived, Walter knew that trouble was coming, so he didn't rush to waste words to explain, but greeted the other party and said calmly.

"Yukong Siduo, I wonder if the Cloud Cavalry has deployed so forcefully, but have they found any clues about the Star Core Hunter?"

"...The Star Core Hunter is treacherous and cunning, and we have no clues yet. But..."
