Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 46, "The Rakshasa's Journey," concludes.

Rakshasa: "Now, I am Rakshasa."

Xing subconsciously shuddered and said, "Uncle Yang, I'm scared."

Not to mention Star, even Bronya and Kiana couldn't help but get goosebumps after hearing those words.

Imagine Alto wearing his white retirement suit while speaking in an extremely feminine tone—it seems like Alto has actually done something like that!

Kiana suddenly recalled the scene when she read the comic book in her past life and saw Lady Green Lily appear, and instantly felt that this was nothing... probably!

As they spoke, March 7th's deduction led them to the hidden port where the Rakshasa had arrived.

As I recall, Guan Yan once said that because this port was used by the military and not many people came here, it was locked up.

Rakshasa: "With a lock this difficult to lock, you think you can stop me?"

"I can't do it! March, you should try to guess in a different way!"

Unable to bear a grown man constantly referring to himself as "this girl's star," he finally asked March 7th to change his tone and play the role of Rakshasa.

However, March 7th clearly didn't see anything wrong with it, but ultimately agreed considering the mental health of others.

"Alright, let's use the tone you're familiar with to make guesses."

Rakshasa: "Hmph, this level of lock is nothing to worry about."

Although it's still a bit different from the Alto I remember, it's not as explosive as it used to be.

After a simple unlocking process, Rakshasa successfully entered the port and met with the so-called trader. As for what was being traded, according to March 7th, it was undoubtedly a star core.

Although it sounds far-fetched, upon closer reflection, if there's anything that could cause turmoil on the Immortal Ship during this period and require clandestine transactions, it's probably only that star core.

However, this is just speculation, and probably no one present really believes March 7's reasoning; they are just playing along with her.

Walter then stepped forward to point out the shortcomings of March 7's reasoning.

"Wait a minute, March, don't you think this journey has been too smooth?"

"What's wrong? Is there something unreasonable about it? Is it not good if things go smoothly?"

"It's because it went too smoothly. It only takes a few minutes to walk to the end of this road, but that Rakshasa stayed inside for a full two hours. Even if he circled around it twenty times, it probably wouldn't take two hours. The timing doesn't match up."

"That's...okay."

After careful consideration, March 7th realized that this was indeed the case.

Thus, this originally smooth journey was interrupted at the very beginning by a demonic trick: the Lantern Dragon Fish.

However, no one expected that this Lantern Dragon Fish could speak human language, and its strange way of speaking made people suspect that the original form of this Lantern Dragon Fish was Master Gongshu, whom they had met earlier.

Lantern Arowana: "Wow! You look so delicate and daring to trespass here. Today is your doom!"

Rakshasa: "How dare you, you petty scoundrel, be so insolent! Take this sword!"

Why can monsters talk?

"To create a sense of urgency..."

The daytime dragonfish was then easily defeated by the Rakshasa. However, it seemed that the previous battle had alerted the guards here, resulting in the short road now being filled with patrolling guards.

There was no other way; Rakshasa knew his infiltration skills were insufficient, so he could only settle for taking down all the guards.

Although it took a lot of time, it still failed to attract the attention of the Cloud Cavalry.

After overcoming numerous hardships, Rakshasa finally arrived at the transaction location, but Walter clearly did not agree with it.

"Personally, I don't think there could be such a dangerous place on Luofu... Such a place where dangerous elements and black market buyers meet should not have existed, at least not before the Jianmu incident."

March 7th weakly retorted, "There are even bad guys here meeting with the buyers of the Star Core..."

Even Xing couldn't help but complain, "Is this a detective story or a martial arts novel?"

“The fisherman is both a detective and a knight-errant!” March 7th said. “Anyway, it’s hard to imagine what specific difficulties Rakshasa encountered, so let’s just assume it is.”

"Hmm...it's barely plausible."

"Mr. Walter, you don't have to agree with March 7th so much. Besides, you seem to be having a lot of fun too?"

"Well, since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it..."

"Kiana, can't you stop spoiling the fun at a time like this?!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, you can continue."

After a period of minor skirmishes, March 7th resumed his reasoning.

Rakshasa: "I didn't expect this place to be so dangerous. It seems we need to be more cautious in our future actions. I wonder who this mysterious buyer interested in the star core is..."

She hadn't gone far when she saw the buyer waiting for her not far away.

As Rakshasa walked, he observed his surroundings. He had no choice but to be cautious, as the items he was about to trade were not exactly respectable.

"Yes, judging from the map, this is probably the most secluded place."

"My God, I, Detective March 7th, have finally gained Uncle Yang's approval..."

“…Let’s continue.”

The reasoning continues.

The person who appeared behind Rakshasa at this moment was the buyer, or rather, the buyer's companion, except that this person looked like Walter...?

Walter (fake): "Halt. What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing this, Xing couldn't hold back any longer, "Why is it Uncle Yang?"

"No, that's Pu'er, the gatekeeper of the tea party."

Walter grasped the key point and said, "Isn't Pu'er the name of a tea?"

"Yes, the members of the tea party are naturally named after various teas."

After explaining the setting on March 7th, he continued with the reasoning.

Pu'er: "I'm asking you a question! What are you doing here?"

Clearly, Walter ultimately couldn't stand Pu'er's tone.

"Tell him to speak more politely..."

March 7th can meet Walter's requirements, it's just that it might be a little more civilized.

Pu'er: "I'm asking you a question, kid! What brings you here?"

"...Never mind, let's leave it at that."

Rakshasa turned around and said, "I've come to deliver something, and I must give it to your boss in person. Please contact him for me."

Pu'er: "Delivery?... Ah, boss, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I need you to prove your identity first before I can let you see the boss."

Based on the deduction made on March 7th, Rakshasa, in the midst of the deduction, took out the title page of the book and handed it to Pu'er.

Pu'er: "This is... the secret code. It really is you. Please wait a moment, I'll go and call the boss right away."

Rakshasa: "Take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Pu'er received the cover page for the rendezvous and went to inform his boss. Not long after, Luosha saw a dignified figure approaching.

Pu'er: "Boss, this is the man... with the goods you need."

? ? ?: "Let me check the goods first."

“Why is it Pam?” Xing asked.

"When it comes to Uncle Yang's boss, Pam is the only name that comes to mind..."

“We could change it to Dr. Tesla,” Bronya suggested.

Who is Dr. Tesla?

"It's a bit complicated to explain and it involves your Uncle Yang's privacy, so I won't go into details. If you want to know, go ask Mr. Walter. But what I can tell you is that Dr. Tesla is definitely one step ahead of Mr. Walter."

Do you have a photo of that person?

On March 7th, her eyes lit up; to be honest, she was quite interested in someone who could outshine Uncle Yang.

"Ahem! I think Pam would be a good choice here too."

"Since Uncle Yang has put it that way, then alright..."

The reasoning continues.

Pu'er: "This is our boss, Xingyu Bobo. Quickly bring out the goods and let him take a look."

"Star Taro Boba? Milk Tea?" Star complained.

“Milk tea is tea too!” March 7th was clearly getting impatient. “It’s normal to have milk tea at tea parties.”

Rakshasa: "Cash on delivery. You can't be unaware of such a simple rule, can you?"

Pu'er: "Stop talking nonsense, just deliver the goods when we tell you to!"

Xingyu Bobo: "It's okay. This cargo is extremely dangerous, so it's only natural that he'd be cautious."

Walter couldn't help but complain, "Does Pam really use so many 'Pa's' when she talks?"

"I feel like it might be, right?" March 7th was also confused by herself. "No, no... I feel like it might be?"

Xingyu Bobo: "Puer, give him the money. How about it, are you willing to give the goods to him now?"

Luosha accepted the money from Pu'er, carefully counted the amount to confirm it was correct, and then handed the star core in her hand to Xingyu Bobo.

Rakshasa: "Be careful, this thing is dangerous. Farewell."

Just as Rakshasa turned to leave, Xingyu's soft, bubbly voice echoed behind her.

Xingyu Bobo: "Indeed, we will never see each other again. Pu'er, kill him."

After speaking, Pu'er transformed into a golden gatekeeper using some unknown principle. Rakshasa, who was walking outwards, stopped and looked back with a solemn expression.

Rakshasa: "I thought the transaction went smoothly."

Xingyu Bobo: "You sold me something so dangerous, so we're accomplices now. To keep this a secret, you'll have to keep your mouth shut forever."

"That makes sense."

"March 7th always handles these small details very logically, but the rest... and why did I turn into a golden man?"

"This is Pu'er's hidden feature: he can transform into a golden man in times of crisis."

"...Uh, okay."

Although Welt appeared to have reluctantly accepted the setting, Bronya knew that Welt actually quite liked it.

If he didn't want to save face in front of young people, he would have been excitedly adding all sorts of extra details long ago.

Luocha: "The local gangs' standards are far too low."

As soon as Luocha finished speaking, Pu'er rushed up and began fighting with Luocha.

However, Pu'er's strength was far inferior to that of Luosha, and Pu'er was defeated in just a few rounds.

Xingyu Bobo: "Damn you, you'll remember this!"

After saying that, Xingyu Bobo left in a huff, but the battle with Pu'er had escalated, and now many Yun cavalry were rushing over here.

To avoid any further complications, Rakshasa decided it would be best to leave as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Rakshasa was eventually discovered by the Cloud Cavalry. Just at this critical moment, Rakshasa's accomplices arrived at her side in a star raft.

Without hesitation, Rakshasa immediately ran onto the Star Chariot and shook off the Cloud Cavalry that was chasing him. Thus, the reasoning for March 7th came to an end.

"Who was the one who piloted the star raft...?" Walter asked.

"I don't know either... Anyway, since she doesn't show her face, let's just assume it's Bronya."

"...? How did I get shot even when I was lying down?"

"Well, someone has to be the partner, it doesn't matter who does it."

Walter concluded, "Little March, although I don't want to discourage you, there are still some minor issues with your reasoning. For example, if Rakshasa escaped from the dock on a Starship, how could she appear in the Machine Bird's image two hours later?"

“That’s a military facility. If there’s any disturbance, the Cloud Cavalry will come. But why are there monsters? And even following this arduous process, Rakshasa wouldn’t stay there for two hours.”

After being corrected by Walter, March 7th realized his mistake in reasoning.

"Hmm... Uncle Yang makes a lot of sense, that's true! It seems there's still a little bit of a gap between me, Detective March 7th, and Fisherman... How about we go to the scene and take a look? Maybe once we get there, many mysteries will be solved."

Walter agreed with the suggestion, "Yes, that's definitely the best option. Let's go."

However, since it is a military facility, it would be unwise to go there rashly. It would be better to report to the Earth Balance Division and the Shence Prefecture first.

Upon arriving at the Earth Balance Division, the group discovered that Guan Yan was being talked to by two people.

Upon inquiring, they learned that one of the two men was named A-Wang, and the other A-Lai. They were looking for a blond, uncivilized man.

Upon hearing Awang Alai's description, Guan Yan immediately thought of the Rakshasa that the train crew was investigating.

"The blond foreigner, could it be... what do you two intend to do with him?"

Ah Wang spoke first, "This person saved our lives."

Then Alai chimed in, "Actually, it's two lives."

“Ah Lai, don’t play the straight man at this time,” Ah Wang said.

Seeing this, Walter joined in.

"You two just said that you were saved by a blond barbarian... Is this person a Rakshasa?"

Ah Wang, hands on his hips, replied, "That's right, it's him."

Alai immediately chimed in, "It was this Rakshasa who saved us."

"When did this happen?" Walter asked.

Awang recalled for a moment and said, "It should have been... the day before Jianmu sprouted."

Ah Lai continued, "Such a big thing happened the next day, and we haven't had a chance to thank him yet."

The two of them were exchanging words back and forth, much like crosstalk performers on stage.

At this moment, March 7th also remembered the two mysterious men in black who appeared in the video.

"Are you two the men in black? Why aren't you wearing black anymore?"

"What man in black?" Ah Wang asked, then remembered what had happened, "Please don't mention that unfortunate man in black. What man in black is there?"

“That’s because we both fell into the ditch,” A-Lai said with great emotion.

March 7th didn't react for a moment, "Huh...huh? What's going on?"

Ah Wang calmed himself down and began to explain.

“We’ve been looking for a quiet place to practice our new jokes every day, but the place we found is deserted and a bit dilapidated… there’s a big hole in the ground.”

"Okay, it seems they really are crosstalk performers," A-Lai explained.

"I slipped and fell into the ditch. My good partner shouted, 'Don't panic, Ah, come and help!' and then fell in with me."

Ah Wang rubbed his forehead and said, "That big pit leads directly to a stinking ditch. We were both covered in mud, and you guys probably laughed at us, thinking we were men in black."

"No wonder the Hidden Book said it had a foul smell..."

After March 7th finished speaking, A-Wang continued.

"In short, it was fortunate that this Rakshasa man happened to be passing by and went to great lengths to rescue us."

"What did Rakshasa do back then?" Kiana asked curiously.

Ah Wang turned to look at the streetlight next to him and began to recall.

It turned out that Rakshasa had searched for a long time for props to save them, and finally managed to rescue them with great effort. In the end, Rakshasa was even worried that they would be poisoned by the mud, so he specially wrote a prescription for them to get the medicine and told them to rest well.

After recalling the events, A-Wang took out a paper flower from his pocket, saying that after Rakshasa wrote the prescription on the paper, he folded the paper into this paper flower.

Then on March 7th, they asked Awang and Alai if they could open the paper flower, and the reply was yes.

In any case, they had already opened the paper flower when they got the medicine, and it was one of the clues they planned to give to the Earth Balance Division to help them find the Rakshasa. They would open it and check it sooner or later.

After hearing Guan Yan's assurance, the two left.

It was at this moment that March 7th discovered the secret on the paper, but unfortunately it wasn't the secret code she had guessed.

Instead, it was a spoiler about the story of "The Fisherman's Case" that came from someone who called himself a spoiler master.

After fully understanding the truth, Walter couldn't help but sigh that not everyone with an Alto-like face is a bad person!

Bronya had a lot to say about this, so on the way back she talked about the three trials she had passed and how she had sold Alahatto to March 7th and the Star.

Kiana quietly left the team. Just now, Otto sent her a message, hoping that Kiana could go to the place he specified to meet him alone.
