The live stream chat was flooded with question marks, like a waterfall of text.

[Reddish-pink head: Judge of the Ten Kings' Court? Really?]

Although everyone in the Immortal Ship knows the name of the Ten Kings Division, no one knows where it is located, who controls it, or how many members of the division serve it. It can be said to be the most mysterious division in the Immortal Ship.

The identities of all members of the Ten Kings Division are kept secret.

When the judge appears, all the mechanical birds will malfunction and ignore their actions, so no one can get a picture of them.

Only when things escalate to an unmanageable level will they leave behind obvious traces that are difficult to conceal.

Now, the legendary judges of the Ten Kings' Court have actually appeared in the live stream?

[The female livestreamer is heavily addicted: her livestream room hasn't been banned yet, and Xiao Guizi hasn't been taken down, so is this really true?]

[Zheng Lanzi Flag Old Immortal Boat Person: The Ten Kings Division has really made something of themselves, actually managing to collaborate with Xiao Guizi.]

[Real-name Internet access: Why does this look so familiar?]

Inside the Shence Mansion, on a long table piled high with government documents, Jing Yuanyuan, taking a break from his busy schedule, watched the live stream featuring his little 'Grandmaster' with a smile. He paused, stunned, when he saw Xueyi Heita appear on screen.

[Playing cards like crazy: Bush, Jeremy, isn't that the Black Tower lady, number 83 in the Genius Club?]

[Pure Ice: Indeed, I just searched it up, and it's the genius Black Tower lady!]

[Galaxy Baseball Man: Shocking! Genius Black Tower joins the Ten Kings Court as a Judge! Immortal Ship is awesome!!!]

【？？？：？？】

Immediately following was another waterfall of question marks flooding the screen. Everyone in the ghost-catching team who was watching the live stream looked up at Gray Hair, who was frantically stirring things up with his phone.

Why is everyone looking at me like that?

Star Core Spirit scratched his head sheepishly.

"You didn't switch to a different account."

Qiong reminded him.

"Oh, I forgot."

Xing slapped his forehead in frustration.

"..."

The snow-clad black tower remained silent.

"Mr. Qiong, if this gets out and Ms. Black Tower sees it, are you sure it won't lead to any repercussions?"

Although the words were spoken with concern and inquiry, the tone of the crow was completely devoid of emotion, eerily calm.

"Just call me Qiong. Xueyi and I are friends who have discussed the topic of inorganic life continuation. As for holding someone accountable..."

"Of course she would. With that narcissistic old hag Black Tower's personality, she definitely wouldn't want anyone to ruin her doll image. Even if she didn't care, the fanatical little black guy from Black Tower Space Station would most likely send a lawyer's letter to Immortal Boat, right?"

The Star Chariot automatically drove to Suiyuan. When Qiong disembarked, he saw Xueyi, Hanya, and Nuonuo's Matcha Cake negotiating with Guishangshang and her two companions.

According to normal procedure, the judges and messengers of the Ten Kings would ask the commoners who were not allowed to enter the territory occupied by the Sun God to leave, so as to avoid encountering danger.

But who is Li Sushang among them?

The Ten Kings hold a special position in each of the Immortal Ships and know a great deal about the inside story of the Jianmu Calamity and the great battle in Lin Yuan Realm.

Surely the fragments of the Year Sun can't be more dangerous than the Great Lord of Annihilation?

Furthermore, since Xingqiong, who was even more meritorious in quelling the Jianmu disaster, has come, we can't very well refuse to give him face.

Han Ya suggested that everyone follow the Ten Kings' Division, with the Netherworld Martial Arts Officers protecting the guests' safety.

The real intention was to keep an eye on a group of people to prevent them from running around and to prevent the news of Suiyang's large-scale escape and encampment from being broadcast live, which could cause riots.

Qiong naturally had no objections. It just so happened that Xueyi and Hanya could serve as witnesses to the unexpected encounter with the Devimon and could also help with the cleanup work.

He had no reason to refuse when the offer came to him.

Preventing rumors from spreading is simple; just have Xueyi issue an official statement.

According to the Ten Kings' Rules, judges and underworld officials should minimize their exposure to the public eye.

However, Xueyi wasn't wearing her own costume, but rather a Black Tower doll sponsored by Qiong, which wouldn't reveal her appearance or voice, so it didn't matter.

Qiong's matter-of-fact words made Han Ya's eyes twitch.

Knowing it might cause trouble for the Ten Kings, why did she let her sister appear on live stream with that... cute face?

Han Ya had a lot of complaints she wanted to vent, but remembering that it was Qiong who saved her sister, she swallowed her words.

Her sister told her the reason why she looked like this.

Her previous body was damaged to the point of being unable to move during the mission, so Qiong lent her a doll body.

For Han Ya, her sister's affairs were more important than any trouble!

"Thank you for saving my sister."

Although the puppet's body will not perish even if it is damaged, given her personality, she would definitely stay outside for the sake of the mission in a critical moment, which could potentially cause damage and loss of memories.

The reason why they didn't switch back to their original bodies after the calamity was the same: each 'rebirth' and the change of bodies would put a burden on the soul.

"It's ok."

Qiong smiled like a sunny and cheerful young man.

This seemingly emotionless judge, Da Nana, is actually a pure sister-complex. She usually appears cold and aloof, but she completely changes when talking to Yuki.

"By the way, what did you say you wanted to discuss with your sister?"

Han Ya was puzzled. When did her sister get involved in scientific research?

"A question worth exploring further: Can the Machine-Doll become pregnant?"

"Oh↘...Hmm↗!!??"

The crow stared wide-eyed.

what! ?

PS:

A crow.jpg

Chapter 405 What a blessed place!

The crow's expression froze, its silver eyes narrowed, and an earthquake occurred.

The Machine-Doll Girl = the older sister; pregnancy = liking love, marriage, and having children; Sora saved the older sister in a moment of crisis; considering his good looks, hero saving beauty = repaying with one's body.

In conclusion, his older sister may have had an ambiguous relationship with him.

"This, this can't be..."

As a judge of the Ten Kings Division, Han Ya is decisive and impartial in her work, but when it comes to her older sister, she inevitably becomes a little more cautious and thorough in her thinking.

Although my older sister is theoretically unlikely to do such a thing, what if she does?

The crow's eyes instantly turned as cold and gloomy as a deep, dark pool in the eerie Suiyuan Garden, like a soul returning from the River Styx, staring at the gray-furred creature in front of it.

Qiong, who was playing with Huo Huo, felt a chill down her spine. She turned around and saw Han Ya, whose skin was pale and whose eyes were gleaming with an eerie light.

Her appearance, resembling Sadako crawling out of an ancient well, almost aroused Qiong's scientific curiosity to investigate whether female ghosts could get pregnant.

"Our Judge Xueyi is right! Absurd and superstitious. As residents of the Immortal Ship, we should not believe or spread rumors... What? The will-o'-the-wisp just now? That was Suiyang... not another name for ghost."

"Hey, judging from your appearance, you're not a local from Xianzhou. Today, I'll introduce to the viewers from outside the region a rare formless life form among the abundant creatures—the Formless Eye Soul Essence Suiyang."

Xiao Guizi was reciting the information given to him by Han Ya, giving a popular science lecture, and also telling the story of how Suiyuan was abandoned.

'Operating in secrecy' and 'exposing the supernatural' are not mutually exclusive. Suiyang is not considered strange or unusual in the Immortal Ship. The locals are quite familiar with him. After all, Suiyang is a long-standing rival of the Alliance!

Satisfying people's curiosity to a certain extent can reduce attention. The exploration of ghosts and monsters by paranormal enthusiasts will naturally turn into ordinary and normal things like the Ten Kings capturing the enemy.

In short:

There are no ghosts on the Immortal Ship, just some alien parasites. Don't wander around here and interfere with the Ten Kings' Office's official duties.

[Moonlight Pavilion Sweeper: Good news, no ghosts or monsters are running around in Sui Garden. Bad news, alien parasites are roaming around Sui Garden... Isn't that even more terrifying?!]

"Hey, family member, don't speak the truth so carelessly! There's a judge in the live stream; you'll have to take responsibility for what you say!"

"Tsk tsk, it's really not easy for online streamers to make a living. They have to resist the urge to run away in such a gloomy place and keep explaining like a war correspondent covering a murder case."

Xing smacked her lips and sighed.

"Mother, did you see that?"

Upon seeing her mother's ID in the live stream, Changchang waved and greeted her.

"This time, I'm not just useful, I'm incredibly useful! It's wonderful to have the opportunity to serve as a henchman for the Ten Kings!"

"Uh, that's not how you use 'hawks and hounds'..."

Li Sushang glanced at her 'sister' with a sense of helplessness. In this timeline, she had clearly attended a private school, but her level of education was simply appalling!

"Let's go this way."

Qiong gazed into the gloomy and dark depths of Suiyuan and pointed to an entrance.

Just now, Yuehen used the Taixu Sword Heart to amplify his senses and explore the surrounding situation, but he did not detect any trace of the dark power from before.

Yuehen was certain that the new species of Devimon had not left. On the way to Qiong's arrival, Yuehen had been keeping a close eye on it.

In a state of concealment and silence, logically speaking, since the new species of Devimon has no self-awareness, it should not choose to lie dormant, but currently the power of darkness is dormant...

Could it be that Suiyang's previous contact with the new species of Devimon caused the power fluctuation?

Unable to pinpoint the exact location, we will for now proceed in the vague direction in which we first sensed the power of darkness.

Suiyuan covers a vast area. This place is not an ordinary park or garden, but a garden paradise created by the skillful craftsmen of the fox people. The scale of the paradise can be imagined.

It probably occupies an area comparable to some small cities.

Moonlight streamed through the dilapidated octagonal archway, casting fang-shaped shadows on the ground.

The place had been abandoned for a long time, and wild ailanthus branches pierced through the cracks in the wall, their leaf edges curling like scratching knuckles.

The eerie scene caused a brief decrease in the number of comments in Xiao Guizi's live stream, as viewers were stirred by the horror and began to feel tense.

When a chilling wind suddenly rises, the holes in the artificial rockery seem like hundreds of mouths opening and closing, emitting a sharp, mournful wail, like a woman's pitiful sobs.

Wow!

Xiao Gui was startled, and the phone camera turned away.

Just then, the wind picked up, and a loose stone at the top of the artificial hill shifted with a 'click'. It was a broken relief sculpture, with rainwater accumulating in the empty eye sockets, and murky 'tears' flowing down with the sound of the wind.

[Jingzhou's Number One Macho Man: Damn! My pants are moving! I'm done playing!]

[Ah Liang, look how awesome I am: The alarm button is broken! Oh, the judge of the Ten Kings' Court is here, then it's alright.]

The interplay of sound effects and visuals creates a terrifying atmosphere, causing the barrage of comments to explode suddenly, only to subside abruptly the next second.

Viewers heard shouts coming from within the small group of people watching the live stream.

"Wow, this place is absolutely a geomantically auspicious location!"

The Star Core Spirit cheered and jumped for joy, its golden eyes wide as if it were seeing a golden beach covered with pearls.

Amidst the bewildered expressions of Xueyi, Hanya, Sushang, and the others, the gray-haired girl rushed out with a bright smile, nimbly climbing the artificial hill with both hands and feet.

He grabbed the broken relief sculpture that was dripping with tears, held it like a treasure, and even rubbed it against his face.

【…】

【! ! ! 】

"??????"

At that moment, the live streamer and his team felt a chill run down their spines.

It wasn't just the terrifying atmosphere and sounds that made it scary, but more importantly, the eerie feeling brought about by the gray-haired creature's behavior.

Imagine, in a horror movie, a head suddenly falls down, dripping with blood and tears!

This scenario is terrifying, but the principle is similar to someone suddenly making a sound or patting you when you're completely unprepared; it's an instantaneous shock caused by being caught off guard.
