Chapter 102 Train Group Dedicated Consciousness Communication System
After listening to Walter's explanation, Tingyun nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and asked again.
"Since the benefactor has another important matter for the general to deal with, would you like to rest for a while and wait for him to come?"
Having said that, Tingyun was about to turn around and lead everyone into the Yichen Inn.
Walter waved his hand, interrupting her movement and refusing.
"It's okay. Kevin is only away temporarily. We don't need to delay because of this. Let's focus on the business. Since Yukong Siduo strongly refused our intervention before, I think Tianbosi has some clues about Kafka's whereabouts?"
Tingyun nodded, not surprised, but just praised him politely.
"Your Excellency is very observant. The suspect is very cunning. In addition to using a secret frequency band, the communication time is also very tight, so it is impossible to accurately locate him."
Tingyun paused for a moment, crossed her arms over her chest, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled interestingly.
"But, I still found some clues for Taipusi."
Then, Tingyun took out the instrument and performed a simple operation, and the virtual projection of Kafka appeared among the crowd.
This is the communication video between Kafka and the Star Train that was intercepted and analyzed by the Taipusi before.
"Here are the coordinates. Everything is up to you."
"Although we pursue different goals, our stars will eventually converge. Goodbye."
The words played on the screen are exactly the same as before, but this recording seems to have been specially processed, and the background sound seems to be a bit noisy and obvious.
Xing soon discovered that something was wrong. She remembered every scene clearly, from Kafka hijacking the communications and appearing on the train.
"Your background sound has been specially processed, right? It's different from what I heard on the train."
San Yue Qi on the side widened his eyes in surprise.
"You can even hear this, how outrageous are your senses?"
"Of course!"
Xing folded her arms across her chest and raised her head to talk to herself. Not only did she have an excellent hearing, but her sense of smell was also very good. Maybe she could find Kafka by smelling her.
Tingyun was also good at observation. As a ferryman, she could always say something sensible at the right time. When she saw that Xing was very direct in noticing the difference in the communication video, she smiled and praised him.
"My benefactor is really perceptive. The background sound recorded has indeed been specially amplified. Behind the voice is the sound of some kind of device operating."
"Ah, with this clue, the situation is——" San Yueqi exclaimed excitedly, but then she spread her hands and looked helpless, "——nothing has changed! The Immortal Boat is a starship, it has mechanical devices everywhere!"
She had no idea what purpose amplifying the background noise would serve, as the surroundings were filled with sounds of similar devices operating, and they were so faint that she couldn't hear any difference.
I saw Tingyun on the opposite side shaking his head slightly and explaining to San Yueqi.
"Ms. March, for most people, this noise is indeed the same. But for the maintenance company responsible for the facility, each machine's operation is like a melody with different pitches."
"The general summoned the craftsmen, and after careful comparison and listening, they found that Kafka's background sound came from the shipbuilding facilities in the return star port."
Although Tingyun explained it this way, it was just a judgment that when the communication was intercepted, Kafka was on her way back to the star port.
Thinking of this, Walter looked at Tingyun and asked.
"That's the preface, but how do you know that Kafka is still staying in the return port?"
Tingyun pinched his chin and fanned himself, looking thoughtful with a conflicted look on his face.
"Originally, the Taibusi was able to retrieve the documents of entry and exit of each cave heaven to track... but now that the star core has arrived, everything is in chaos. In some cave heavens, even the intersections are misplaced."
"If I were a star core hunter, this kind of chaos would be just what I want. Although it would make it more difficult to escape during the chaos, it would also make it harder to be discovered."
San Yueqi scratched her head as she listened. Although she didn't quite understand what was said, her brain could always filter out the information and summarize the key words. She looked at Tingyun, puzzled.
"So... that woman might not have left? Should we still go back to Starport?"
"I am just guessing. The only clue Kafka left behind is to return to Star Harbor. For now, we can only follow this clue to investigate further."
Tingyun nodded, clarifying the idea, and continued.
"However, the route back to Starport is very long and winding, and it takes a lot of time and effort to find someone, so..."
Tingyun paused for a moment and looked at everyone.
"My benefactors, please wait for a moment. I have obtained a magical item that may help you track down Kafka more conveniently..."
Sanyueqi and Xing did not say anything when Tingyun asked for help to get something. Instead, they glanced at Walter beside them.
Walter naturally felt the gazes of others. He was always on guard against Tingyun, but apart from the slight destructive aura of light that Kevin mentioned at the beginning, he did not find anything else unusual. But this alone was enough for him to remain vigilant.
Walter seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was also struggling. However, what Tingyun had just expressed seemed to be out of his heart. Although he could have refused, he also wanted to see what tricks he had. With his current strength...
Even if this person really has problems, he can protect the people behind him, not to mention that everything remains to be seen.
Thinking of this, Walter quickly nodded in agreement and thanked him.
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Tingyun."
"It won't take long. I will be there soon."
Tingyun nodded slightly, turned around, and nodded politely again.
"There are also entertainment and food in the inn for you to enjoy. Please feel free to order. It will all be charged to our Tianbosi account."
After saying that, Tingyun turned around and left quickly. Everything seemed so normal.
Everyone nodded, Xing and March Seven turned their heads away, while Walter kept glancing at Ting Yun's figure gradually getting smaller until it was completely invisible. He sensed for a moment whether there was anything else special around him before turning around.
Looking at March 7 and the stars, Walter reminded her lightly.
"Everyone, take a break. No other problems have been found yet."
Hearing Walter's reminder, Sanyueqi and Xing nodded, relaxed a little, and sat down on the chair next to them.
San Yueqi lay on the table, holding his chin with one hand, and complained.
"Uncle Yang, we have been on guard against Miss Tingyun, but we haven't noticed that she has any strange thoughts? Will we continue like this?"
Xing, who was sitting next to him, also nodded. In her opinion, Tingyun's words and actions were extremely reasonable and his reaction was normal. Before, Sanyueqi complained about Yukong a little, although Tingyun said it was nothing.
But from her flash of displeasure and those public words, it can still be seen that she admires and protects this boss, and it doesn't seem like she is acting...
Walter also sat down on a chair beside him, speaking indifferently.
"It's okay. Actually, you don't have to be vigilant all the time. Just keep an eye on me, provided I'm in the team."
As he spoke, a cup of hot tea was put into his hand, and Walter raised the cup and took two sips.
Sanyueqi and Xing nodded. In that case, they started.
Thinking of this, San Yue Qi suddenly scratched his head and asked.
"By the way, was Kevin really that anxious before? He really didn't even say hello, although I don't care."
Xing spread her hands. Kevin's departure was too sudden and too coincidental. He ran away just when she asked him if he wanted to have a bean juice instant noodle competition. Could it be that...
"You're overthinking it. I'm just here to pick up Heng. His communication was maliciously cut off. Based on the previous circumstances, it might have been done by the Star Core Hunter." Kevin's familiar voice came, and Xing subconsciously turned around and called out.
"Brother Kevin?!"
But there was no figure behind him as he had imagined. Sanyueqi and Walter at the side were also confused by Xing's shout. Did Kevin finish it so quickly? I followed her line of sight and saw the same result as Xing...
"Don't look at it, I'm still on the train. Now I'm using my ability to build a consciousness call. Now I've connected everyone to the server. Wait a moment, I'll immediately install the chat system..."
Kevin's voice suddenly came into the minds of the three people.
Xinghe March 7 was still confused, but Walter quickly accepted it. After a moment, a chat interface appeared in everyone's sight. The interface was not a physical entity, but it was instantly in everyone's sight and integrated into everyone's consciousness.
Then, a message prompt popped up on the chat interface.
[A dedicated consciousness communication system for train groups has been established.] ]
[Kevin, Danheng, Sanyueqi, Xing, Walter, Jizi, and Pam have joined the group chat "Star Train Family". ]
Jizi: First, Pam likes it.JPG
Pam: ? ! Pam likes this.JPG
Kevin: Instant Noodles Like.JPG, the function of this system is the same as the chat software that everyone usually uses, except that the carrier is converted into everyone's consciousness, and the operation method is also completely controlled by the mind. You can also make calls with your mind, which can basically avoid interference, hijacking and no signal problems.
Xing: March, it's the team voice! ! !
March 7: Wonderful! This way you can complain secretly without worrying about embarrassment! Pam likes this.JPG
Walter: Okay, I'll change my profile picture. Pam likes it.JPG
Dan Heng:.
Kevin: Remember to turn on Do Not Disturb. We are in the testing phase now. If you have any questions, please @ me or chat with me privately. I will bring Danheng and 䛾 with me. Please chat back...
Pam: Dear passengers, if you have time, could you bring some Xianzhou specialties for the conductor? Pam is looking forward to it.JPG
Xing: 6, I'll bring you some soda bean juice! March 7th.JPG
…
Kevin thought about it, and the chat box in front of him disappeared, and he logged out of the system. This time he had no choice but to do this, as the train had its own server and channel.
It is usually very stable, and even the disturbance caused by the star core cannot have any effect on it. But this time it was hijacked and blocked, and it is more or less troublesome to prevent the invasion.
Dan Heng had been prepared before, but his communication was maliciously intercepted and he could not contact Kevin, so he went to find Ji Zi and Pam, and finally found out that the other party had directly hacked the module used for communication of the Star Train.
There was no way. I couldn't take a shortcut, so I had to get off the car by myself. Just as I was about to land, I ran into Kevin coming back.
Kevin didn't come back to see Dan Heng just because he hadn't contacted him for too long, and he definitely didn't come back just because of the soybean juice flavored instant noodle competition!
He can even swallow a Honkai beast with a weird taste, but he can't accept eating instant noodles with a taste he hates. It's a waste for him.
Kevin glanced at Pam and Ji Zi, whose eyes were darting across from him. They were probably still chatting on the system. After all, new things always have some novelty, so he decided not to disturb them.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Dan Heng who was sitting on the sofa next to him, and said lightly.
"Set off?"
Dan Heng took a deep breath and nodded.
"Thank you, Kevin, let's go."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them disappeared in an instant, leaving only a little warmth on the sofa.
…
In the Shen Ce Palace, Jing Yu stood beside a wide and thick chair, with his hands behind his back, staring ahead. Beside him stood the young man named Yan Qing.
Yan Qing held the sword obediently, and standing in front of the two of them was a virtual projection of the girl's figure.
The "girl" was wearing a gorgeous colorful dress, with a jade plate with astrological patterns hanging on her chest. Her long pink hair was neatly draped behind her, and on her forehead, there was a star-colored eye.
Seeing that the "girl" in front of him still had a serious look on his face, Jing Ye shook his head and smiled.
"Master Taibu, I have already sent you the data you requested. Why does it take so long?"
The girl shook her head slightly, sighed softly, and could only look up and answer truthfully.
"I can only calculate that its essence is imaginary energy. The rest is like garbled code, with no order. Isn't this really an error in the data capture device?"
Taibu raised his head and asked Jingye back, but his only response to her was to smile and spread his hands.
"Mr. Fu, you don't have to be so cautious about that person's ability. You heard my conversation with them before, and you should be able to see that this person has no intention of being our enemy. Strength is just a bargaining chip for him to negotiate."
Fu Xuan nodded, resting his chin on his hand as he thought.
"The laws of nature are far-reaching, and human hearts are obscure. I'd better tell their intentions and predict whether they are good or bad..."
Jing Ye waved his hand and said lightly.
"That's not necessary. The Star Train has nothing to do with this. I'm sure of that. You and I don't need to delve into their intentions. As long as the bait is swallowed and the fish is caught, that's enough."
Fu Xuan put his hands on his hips and frowned slightly.
"That's my suggestion, General."
Jing Ye folded his hands across his chest and nodded slightly, praising at the same time.
"Well, thanks to Fu Qing's wisdom, I will rely on you for everything from now on."
"Hmph, then you should abdicate sooner."
Fu Xuan responded without hiding anything, it was already known to everyone.
Jing Ye shook his head lazily and raised his eyebrows.
"It's not the right time yet. If anything unexpected happens, I will have to take responsibility as a general. I can't just walk away now and put Fu Qing in an unjust position."
"If you had handed the Star Core Hunter to me earlier, you wouldn't have this trouble now."
Fu Xuan knew that Ren had escaped, and seeing Jing Ye's indifferent look, she questioned again.
"What on earth are you thinking about? Jing Ye! Could it be that... did you let that person escape on purpose?!"
"Me? How can I predict the future like Fu Qing? The Yunqi Army failed to guard properly, and I am responsible." Jing Yu shook his head and admitted his mistake directly, but he did not say whether he had released the blade.
Fu Xuan snorted coldly, then said sympathetically.
"Hmph, I understand. The Immortal Boat is complicated and you are bound to be exhausted. If I wasn't there to support you..."
Although she expressed her understanding, she also praised herself twice and then asked again.
"Come to think of it, the next time the Six Imperials meet, you should keep your promise to recommend me as the successor general..."
"Yes, yes, okay, okay, got it. I still have 䛕. From now on, I'll leave everything to the gifted Fu Qing."
But Jing Ye still answered her perfunctorily. Fu Xuan had nothing to say. He could only glare at him and disconnected the call.
Jing Yu knew that Fu Xuan was not angry, he just lowered his head and looked at the desk in front of him and sighed.
"The troubles on the immortal boat, the documents on the desk, and the weeds in the flowerbed are the only three things that cannot be swept away no matter how hard you try."
As he spoke, he glanced straight ahead, but there was no one there.
Chapter 103: All the Surprises
Yan Qing, who was standing by, saw that Fu Xuan had disconnected the communication, and the general in front of him seemed a little melancholy, and he couldn't help but sigh as well.
"General, everyone knows that Fu Taibu wants to take your place."
Jing Yuan nodded, but he also knew that he was always vague about this matter in front of Fu Xuan. The reason was...
"She is very capable, but she still needs to work on her mental skills. When her stubbornness is tempered, I will probably consider retiring."
Hearing Jing Yuan's tone, Yan Qing thought that the general was worried about the escape of Ren, so he patted his chest and took a step forward.
"Well, the matter of the star core is not a big deal. If the person escapes, we can just catch him back. General, just give me a word and I, Yan Qing, will solve your problem right away."
Jing Yuan glanced at Yan Qing, folded his arms across his chest, shook his head slightly, looked straight ahead and sighed.
"I know you are anxious and want to do something and accomplish it, but now is not the right time. If you want to be the sword master, you must not act recklessly, especially not fight with a serious criminal."
Yan Qing tightly gripped the sword sheath in his hand, frowned, and looked a little unconvinced.
"General, do you really think I will lose to that blade?"
Jing Yuan did not blame the child for being hot-tempered. He just bent down and sat on the wide chair behind him, supporting his chin and teaching him.
"I want you to be patient, Yanqing. Xianzhou Zhiping and swordsmanship are not the same, so we need to take it step by step to gain momentum. Besides, the key to this chess game has not yet been revealed..."
"There is a mystery. As long as he hasn't solved it, the game will remain at a stalemate. That is the star core."
Jing Yuan turned his head and stared at the huge chessboard in front of him.
"How did it conceal its identity, bypass the Tianbosi's inspection and Taibusi's deduction, and where was it placed?"
"I think the fastest way is to capture both Star Core Hunters and send them to the Master of the Talisman for a trial."
Yan Qing waved his hand. His thoughts were still so straightforward, but he was not wrong to think so. For now, the only clue on the surface was the Star Core Hunter.
Jingyuan stood up and looked at Yanqing indifferently.
"I have entrusted this matter to the passengers on the train. I originally planned to let you show your skills after the overall situation is settled. However, perhaps it is time to hone your temper..."
Jing Yuan paused for a moment, staring at the empty space in front of him.
"Come out, you two, it's time to talk business..."
Yan Qing was very confused and immediately looked around. You two? There was no one else here except him and the general. He followed Jing Yuan's line of sight and his eyes widened immediately.
Two figures gradually appeared in the center of the chessboard. One was a white-haired man in foreign clothes, but he did not reveal any aura. The other was a black-haired man with blue fur and clothes in a fairy boat style. I felt like I had seen that face somewhere before.
But from the nameplates on them, we can get their identity - Star Train.Jing Yuan stared at Kevin and Heng as they appeared, praising them with a smile.
"You two have been observing for a long time. Your concealment skills are superb. If you hadn't noticed a slight fluctuation in space, I'm afraid even I wouldn't have been able to find you..."
Although Jing Yuan said so, he knew in his heart that the other party seemed to be deliberately releasing fluctuations as a reminder. He had felt the vague gaze before, but the other party had no intention of showing up.
He was not in a hurry, although he had done similar things before. Anyway, the topic of conversation was related to this matter. As for the other party's strange ability, Jing Yuan subconsciously judged that it was exerted by Kevin. After all, he was more familiar with the ability of eternal life.
Kevin didn't care about Jing Yuan's polite words. They had already seen it before the former made promises to Fu Xuan. He wanted to hear some interesting news before he showed up again, but he saw some interesting scenes instead. So he didn't disturb him and planned to continue watching.
There is Fu Taibu who always wants to be a general, and there is a competitive, high-spirited and talented young guard. Even if Jing Yuan deals with them casually, it can be seen that he is tired.
Even so... that had nothing to do with Kevin. This was originally a matter between a superior and his subordinates, and he just wanted to have some fun. He looked at Jing Yuan expressionlessly, indifferently.
"I've brought Heng here too. Shall we talk about your commission?"
Before Jingyuan could answer, Heng beside him suddenly asked.
"Blade...you let him go?"
Jing Yuan stared at Heng expressionlessly for a while, then shook his head, returned to his previous lazy state, and repeated what he had said before.
"I don't have the ability to predict the future like the fortune teller. If I intended to let him go, how could I have predicted that you would come here? You can also see that I entrusted you with this task only on a whim."
㫡Heng nodded calmly, but he didn't think it was a coincidence. Otherwise, how could he explain the interruption of communication? Even if Blade escaped on his own, did the Star Core Hunter really have no plan? Don't you have any plans for him?
Heng didn't say anything more. He felt that Jing Yuan was not telling the truth, but the other party had already explained it to him. If he continued to question him based on speculation, it would seem aggressive.
Seeing that Heng stopped asking questions, Jing Yuan also acted as if he didn't care and continued speaking.
"Heng, the mission I'm entrusting you with is to go forward and capture the blade. This has been outlined before. Is it in line with your wishes?"
Heng nodded. There was no doubt about that, but it was definitely not just that. Jing Yuan probably had other intentions, but he still didn't raise any objections and just asked.
"Are there any records of Blade's escape? I need to determine where he is going."
Jing Yuan nodded and handed him the information that had been prepared long ago, along with various passes. Looking at Heng who was checking it carefully, Jing Yuan glanced at Kevin next to him.
Kevin was seen with his arms folded across his chest, staring calmly at Yanqing beside him, while Yanqing was also staring at Kevin.
According to the previous long-distance call with Jing Yuan, Yan Qing knew that the white-haired man on the Starry Sky Train was very powerful, but that was just what the general said.
And this person is now standing in front of him. Although he does not reveal any aura, Yan Qing can still judge with absolute certainty that the person in front of him is definitely a sword master. He believes in his feeling.
"General, I think..."Yan Qing couldn't contain his excitement, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan glanced at Yan Qing and advised helplessly.
"Yanqing, calm down. You are a little too hasty. I know you want to prove yourself, but now is not the right time..."
Hearing Jing Yuan's refusal, Yan Qing didn't say anything else, but just curled his lips in displeasure. Before he could finish his words, the general had already figured out his thoughts.
Yan Qing's words and actions caught Kevin's attention. Although the conversation between the two was a little unclear, Kevin could still see the meaning. This young man wanted to compete with him. Maybe he had good talent, but his temper...
At this time, Dan Heng on the side also roughly looked through the information given by Jing Yuan and checked the credentials one by one. He looked up at Jing Yuan and said.
"After Ren escaped from the Prison of Hell, his whereabouts were deliberately covered up and confused. It should be the work of the traitors. However, based on my speculation, there are two places where he is most likely to go - Liuyundu and Huixing Port."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin interrupted.
"We found some information about Kafka at the return port. Maybe there are traces of Blade. What do you think? Do you want to go with us?"
The message Kevin mentioned was sent by Walter in the group chat. Logically, Dan Heng should have seen it as well.
Dan Heng shook his head and said lightly.
"Don't bother Mr. Kevin. Since you guys are going back to Star Harbor, I will go to Liuyun Ferry. This will improve efficiency and reduce errors."
Jing Yuan on the opposite side saw that Dan Heng had made up his mind, so he crossed his arms, nodded, and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Since you have already made the division of labor, I will not interfere. But Dan Heng, allow me to assign one more person to your team."
Dan Heng crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.
"That's fine with me."
Jing Yuan was not surprised by his answer, as if he had expected it. He glanced at Yan Qing beside him and said seriously.
"Yanqing, the brave guard of the Cloud Cavalry Army, listen up!"
"exist!"
Yan Qing stepped forward and answered, holding the Wushu tightly in his hand, his face was serious, without his previous arrogance. At this moment, he still knew which was more important to him.
Jing Yuan glanced at Yan Qing, then looked at Dan Heng and smiled.
"This child is a little impatient sometimes. Maybe it's time for him to experience some more. Please bear with me."
[Special forces, all special forces can be special forces!] ]
The voice in his head complained excitedly, and Kevin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was a very apt description.
"General, I..."
Yan Qing glanced at Dan Heng reluctantly, then looked at Kevin beside him. Although they were going to track down the Star Core Hunter, he didn't seem to be too satisfied with this arrangement...
"I just told you to do your job. When everything is over, I won't interfere with your thoughts. Opportunities don't disappear that quickly."
Jing Yuan patted Yin Yanqing on the shoulder. He was very good at setting goals for people and calming their emotions, and the result was as he wished.
Yan Qing scratched his head and thought for a moment, then he became serious. Without any reluctance, he nodded at Dan Heng.
Dan Heng didn't say much, just turned around and said to Kevin indifferently.
"Mr. Kevin, I'll go first."
Kevin didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and threw something over. Dan Heng took it easily, opened his palm, looked down, and Dan Heng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
This thing... He had seen it before in Beloberg. It was Kevin who handed it to Bronya. However, this time, the ice was no longer wrapped in purple, but black flames.
Because it was sealed, Dan Heng could not sense what was inside, but since it was given by Kevin, it must be of some use.
"You said that the blade can't kill. Maybe this thing can have some effect. Of course, I haven't experimented with it, and I don't have a definite conclusion about the real effect, but it will definitely have an effect."
Seeing Dan Heng put away the things, Kevin nodded and introduced them, and gave another instruction.
"If there is any situation, remember to send a message and pay attention to safety."
Dan Heng nodded softly in response, then turned his head to signal Yan Qing to follow.
"Let's go."
Yan Qing followed him, and Jing Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he watched him leave.
"There has been three feet of water hidden in the box for a long time. When will it be able to test its sharpness? ... Hehe... Although Dan Heng is accompanying me on this trip, he will at least have some experience and dampen his spirit..."
Dan Heng and Yan Qing left, and now only Jing Yuan and Kevin were left in the Shen Ce Mansion.
"It's a wrong idea for him to want to learn sword skills from me. He places too much emphasis on the sword itself. For me, as long as the sword is strong enough to kill the enemy, that's enough."
In the center of the chessboard, Kevin looked at Jing Yuan and commented indifferently.
Jing Yuan was also somewhat helpless regarding Yan Qing. If you treated him as a child, he would act like an adult. If you treat him as an adult, he will show his childish temper.
"Although he is gifted, his character still needs to be tempered. Otherwise, how can he fight for the title of Sword Master that he has always dreamed of? I also spoiled him too much when I was young."
Having said that, Jing Yuan glanced at Kevin again and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Everything is ready to be continued, but Mr. Kevin is still staying in my Shen Ce Mansion and has not taken any action. I believe he has other things to discuss with me."
