Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

After delivering the remaining half piece of osmanthus cake to Baihu, Zhuque and Yiyin went to the Cross Base together, of course, still using Qinglong's Ark.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Baihu said while eating voraciously.

"No need, I'm very familiar with the Cross Base and will be back soon." Yi Yin said with a smile.

"..."

Xuanwu looked a little worried, but she didn't say anything.

On the Ark, Suzaku still harbored illusions about the Cross Base, while Iin was even happier. After helping Suzaku resolve this matter, he would be able to retire with his achievements complete.

However, hopes are often dashed, and Yiyin's is no exception.

Just as Yi Yin and the others' ark reached a certain height in the air, it suddenly began to shake uncontrollably. Soon, a pair of invisible hands emerged from mid-air and directly grabbed the ark.

After a period of excitement, Yiyin and Suzaku lost consciousness.

.

After an unknown amount of time, Yiyin opened his eyes and found himself in a city. The structure of this city was completely different from that of the Cross Base or the Four Gods Base. It looked like he had come to another world.

Suzaku was also confused, because she knew that Qinglong's Ark had been destroyed by the invisible giant hand just now.

I’m really screwed. Now I owe Qinglong a favor.

Yiyin and Suzaku were both preoccupied with their own thoughts and paid no attention to the waiter in front of them.

The waiter looked polite, wearing an apron and had delicate pink hair, looking very elegant.

"Welcome all travelers from other worlds to Alderaan. I am Beavis, the waiter of Alderaan."

"Wow, what a cute girl." Zhuque's eyes were full of stars.

Hearing this, Beavis gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Sorry, I'm a boy."

"Um, Beavis, so what's the situation now?"

Yiyin felt very uneasy. He had never heard of Alderaan. Could this be some new DLC? Wouldn't his proud "prophet" ability be completely useless?

"I apologize for the abruptness in bringing you all into Alderaan, but without doing this, we cannot bring you, the alien travelers, into Alderaan."

Beavis explained dutifully, "Alderaan is different from the outside world. It's a small world that exists on Blue Star, yet is independent of it. Every year during the Martial Arts Festival, we randomly select four lucky outsiders to visit Alderaan. As guests of honor, they help strengthen the relationship between Alderaan and the outside world."

"So, we were 'invited' to Alderaan?"

Yiyin felt that there was no such good thing in the world, and Beavis must have other intentions.

"Indeed. Rest assured, time flows differently in Alderaan than in the outside world. After the martial arts festival is over, I will send you out safely. By then, only two seconds will have passed for you in the outside world."

After saying that, Beavis made a "please" gesture to them.

"Please follow me, my two foreign travelers. I will arrange accommodations for you. The martial arts festival will begin tomorrow, and our King will also be here."

"King? Who is your king?" Yi Yin asked.

"You will understand this when you see His Majesty in person tomorrow. Now, please follow me."

Yiyin and Suzaku exchanged a glance. They were in a very passive position right now, so it was better to avoid any complications for the time being. Besides, Beavis didn't seem to have any ill intentions at the moment, so they decided to follow Beavis's advice.

.

Along the way, Yiyin and his companions encountered many natives of Alderaan. They were very welcoming to Yiyin and his companions, always smiling and greeting them. Of course, Yiyin was even more convinced that they did this for Beavis's sake. Yiyin could vaguely read a hint of disgust in their eyes.

Is Alderaan very xenophobic?

Thinking of this, Yiyin was unknowingly led by Beavis into a castle.

The castle looks very magnificent, ten times more beautiful than Selina's villa.

"His Majesty the King resides here, but it is already late today. Please rest for a while. His Majesty the King will receive you tomorrow."

After Beavis finished speaking, he took Yiyin and Suzaku to the rooms prepared for them respectively. After giving the instructions, Beavis left.

"Something's wrong."

This familiar development made Yi Yin feel a little anxious. A similar situation had occurred in Xuanwu Mansion, and then the ghost turtle was awakened. Could it be that there were also some evil beasts in Alderaan?

If I had known earlier, I would have asked Xuanwu to come along. Without her, the Green-haired Turtle would not be able to develop and upgrade to Emperor Xuanwu. It would be disastrous if they encountered an enemy as powerful as the Ghost Turtle again.

"Suzaku-senpai, don't leave yet."

Yiyin felt that Alderan was not as safe as it seemed. In this situation, it would undoubtedly be quite stupid to act separately.

"I know what you're thinking."

Suzaku sighed, "Of course I want to get to Cross Base as soon as possible. But since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Let's get through the Martial Arts Festival first."

"That's not what I meant. Suzaku-senpai, do you remember what happened with Xuanwu-senpai? Although Beavis looks gentle, I can sense a dangerous aura from him. He is definitely not as simple as he seems. It's better for us not to separate before we figure out the situation."

Suzaku frowned, her words making sense. She had never heard anyone mention Audran before. How did she end up there?

"……All right."

Suzaku glanced around the room and noticed that in addition to a single bed, there was also a miniature sofa.

"But you'll have to sleep on the couch."

Before Yiyin could answer, she heard a surprised voice.

"Ah? It really is you! Great, I wasn't mistaken!"

"It's you?"

Suzaku also recognized him, "Long Kui? No, should I call you Utoshin now?"

Long Kui smiled a little embarrassedly, "Just call me Long Kui. After all, Yu Duzhen gave me the right to choose, how could I possibly let him down? Speaking of which, were you also 'invited' here?"

Yiyin nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Sister Suzaku and I wanted to go back to Cross Base to do something, but a pair of big hands brought us to Alderaan, and then Beavis brought us here."

"It seems we are in similar situations."

Long Kui said, "I was also brought here inexplicably on the way to the Cross Base. Beavis said that two more alien travelers would come next, so he left first. I really didn't expect it to be you!"

"By the way, what are you doing at the Cross Base?" Suzaku asked curiously.

"Ever since you left Storybrooke, I've continued my activities as Nightshade. But the good times didn't last long. I suddenly felt very unwell, and even Doctor Ark and Doctor Kimo couldn't completely cure me. I knew it was because of Kamui's death, and that all of us clones wouldn't live long."

"However, there are many clones like me on Blue Star, and I believe they don't want to die like this. For myself and for them, I am determined to find a cure. It was then that I thought of you, a group of brave and fearless Monster Masters. I thought of coming to the Cross Base to become a Monster Master trainee and find a way to lift the curse on us."

After saying all this, Long Kui lowered her head somewhat unnaturally.

"It's just that I didn't expect to come to Alderaan. Principal Melian never told us these things when she was alive. To me, this is like a dream."

"Cheer up, Long Kui, this is not a dream."

Yi Yin said, "There must be something behind Audran that we don't know about. Before that, we must remain extremely vigilant."
