Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Meanwhile, a clever bird flew into the Shence Mansion and landed on Jing Yuan's desk.

Yes, this clever bird was Snow Robe, secretly released by the crow. Snow Robe took advantage of the moment when the mastermind's attention was focused on the captain to successfully escape and immediately went to the Shence Mansion to report the information about the Nether Prison to Jing Yuan.

After listening to Xueyi's report and combining it with the intelligence sent by the captain, Jingyuan thought for a moment and then decided that Yanqing would lead a team to form a support force with the group from the Starry Sky Train to go to the Prison of Evil to provide support.

With the order issued, Yanqing, Walter, Xing, Bronya, Seele and others received the command from the Divine Strategy Bureau, and the group rushed to Lin Yuan Realm to meet Xueyi, who had already changed her body.

Led by Xueyi, the group arrived at the gate of the Prison of Darkness. The place was in ruins, with traces of solidified lava visible everywhere on the ground.

"What exactly happened here? Why did Seele sense the energy fluctuations of the Judgment of Heavenly Fire?"

"Is that weapon called the Judgment of Heavenly Fire? A few minutes ago, after my sister and I sneaked out, we saw the person called the captain confronting the mastermind who had taken over my body. He was using that greatsword, which caused me to look like this now."

"Possession of a body... Miss Xueyi, could you describe the situation to us?"

After thinking for a moment, Walter decided it would be better to ask for clarification. That way, he and Bronya might be able to temporarily modify her body to make her temporarily immune to this kind of invasion.

After all, on the way here, they had heard Yanqing say that Xueyi was now a puppet, her original physical body had long since dissipated, leaving only her consciousness in the mortal world. There were many people like Xueyi on the Immortal Ship. For such people, the Immortal Ship usually sealed their consciousness to prevent them from reappearing in the mortal world, or made a deal with the Ten Kings Division to work for them. In this way, they could obtain a body made by the Craftsmanship Division.

"Yes. As usual, I patrolled the Dark Prison. Because of the special orders from the general today, I was particularly focused during my patrol. Just as I was passing through the Cold Prison, I suddenly felt my body being invaded by a strange consciousness. It even tried to erode my spirit and use me as a springboard to infect the consciousness of those sealed Immortal Ship citizens, but I noticed it in time and quickly broke free from that body."

"When I temporarily possessed a mechanical bird, the entire Prison of Darkness had already broken out in a riot. In order to prevent the mastermind from finding me again, I found my sister, Raven, and asked her to put the mechanical bird I possessed into a jammer and shut it down completely. You know what happened next."

“Your sister secretly took you out while the mastermind wasn’t looking and released you to deliver a message. After dealing with your previous body, the captain deduced the approximate abilities of this Herrscher based on the information he heard,” Bronya said. “However, we’ll have to wait until we go in to discuss the specifics. The most urgent thing is to temporarily modify your body to prevent it from being invaded again.”

After thinking for a moment, Xueyi said, "Alright, although I specifically instructed the craftsmen to take more precautions against hacking when I was changing bodies, I still have no idea what to do in the current situation. Since you are willing to make the modifications for me, I have no reason to refuse."

Aren't you afraid we'll secretly tamper with your body?

“You are the great heroes who saved the Immortal Ship. With your character, you would not resort to such despicable means. Moreover, you are deeply trusted by the General, who once said that if you doubt someone, you should not use them, and if you use someone, you should not doubt them. Therefore, I will not refuse your request casually.”

Faced with Xueyi's trust, Bronya was at a loss for words. She and Welt exchanged a helpless smile, and Bronya stepped forward and slowly raised her hand to Xueyi's chest.

Streams of blue data flowed from Bronya's hands, and Xueyi felt her body undergo indescribable changes with the help of these data streams.

A moment later, Bronya withdrew her hand.

"I've already modified it for you. Specifically, I've increased the Honkai energy resistance of this body and optimized your firewall system. Now it can help you defend against any Honkai energy-related consciousness intrusions. Of course, I've also optimized some other minor functions, and I think you can feel how they're working. However, these modifications only apply to this body. In the upcoming operations, I hope you can stay in the rear and protect your safety when necessary. After all, we still need you as a guide to show us the way."

"I understand."

Xueyi nodded, and then led everyone to the entrance where Han Ya had brought the captain before. After quickly checking the lock, Xueyi immediately realized that Han Ya had also infiltrated the Prison of Darkness from here before. She turned around with a grim expression and said.

"Gentlemen, we need to speed things up. My silly sister has already infiltrated with the captain. Unfortunately, her injuries are too severe for her to withstand any more battles."

“It seems we really need to speed things up. Miss Xueyi, do you know if you have a way to find your sister quickly? We should be able to treat her injuries.”

"Really? But forget it. Our bodies are different from yours, and using your treatment methods will not work."

At this moment, Seele stepped forward. After studying for some time, Seele also understood some of the basic settings of this world.

"Seele's ability isn't just simple healing; if I had to describe it, it would probably be the power of abundance?"

"Abundance?"

Xueyi tilted her head and looked at the frail woman before her with a puzzled expression. She couldn't help but think of the blond man who had helped her repair her body at Liuyun Ferry. Since that man could use the power of abundance to repair his own mechanical body, then perhaps this Seele, who also possessed abundant power, truly had the ability to heal her sister.

However, in the Immortal Ship, "abundant power" is not a good word. But according to Xueyi's observation, this woman named Xier should not be a wicked person like the people of Abundant Power. After figuring this out, Xueyi stopped saying anything more.

"Never mind, power is just power after all. My sister and I do have a specific code to communicate, so please stay close to me when we go inside."

After saying that, Xueyi opened the door and led everyone inside.

Meanwhile, inside the Evil Prison - Cold Prison, Han Ya and the Captain were trapped in an empty cell. Outside stood escaped prisoners, many of whom were Bu Liren, one of the Immortal Boat Alliance's mortal enemies.

However, compared to before, these Bu Liren are now even more irrational than when they entered their Moon Frenzy state.

If these crazed Bu Li people hadn't been fighting indiscriminately, friend and foe alike, perhaps the crow and the captain would have already been captured by these prisoners.

Because of his severe injuries, Raven could only assist the captain in battle from a distance. The two fought their way back before finally reaching this corner cell. Now they were completely trapped here, with no way out.

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't accidentally shown my face on the surveillance camera, the mastermind wouldn't have discovered me."

The two were sitting on the bed in the cell. The captain was reflecting on his actions with a look of remorse, while the crow was comforting him.

"It's alright. The surveillance system of the Prison of Darkness is very sophisticated. Even the insiders rarely have complete control over the location of every surveillance camera. My ability to infiltrate back then also had an element of luck."

"Speaking of which, we've been here for a while now. Judging by the time, General Jingyuan should have sent reinforcements by now. Your coded messages should have been discovered by now, right?"

"That's a secret code used exclusively by our Ten Kings Division. Given my sister's personality, she'll definitely be in the group. As long as she's there, there's no need to worry about the code. The most urgent thing is how to hold out until reinforcements arrive."

As they were talking, a Bu Li Ren followed the scent to the cell. The captain looked at the shadow that was spreading on the ground and raised his hand to fire a shot at the Bu Li Ren.

A beam of intense heat pierced through Bu Liren's head, followed by several more beams that riddled him with holes, leaving him dead on the ground.

With a buzzing sound, the half-core of the Heavenly Fire Judgment completely lost its light, and the entire weapon became dull and lifeless due to the depletion of energy.

"Although I had long realized that the Honkai energy of the Heavenly Fire Judgment would eventually run out, I had been using the dual-gun mode to try to conserve Honkai energy. I didn't expect that we would still run out of energy at this time. This is troublesome!"

"I wonder if this Heavenly Fire Judgment is compatible with the energy box used by our immortal ship to replenish energy."

As he spoke, Raven took out a square energy box. Just by feeling the overflowing energy, the captain knew that this small box contained a huge amount of imaginary energy. Although directly absorbing imaginary energy would cause a certain amount of loss, the current situation was no longer suitable for relying on the Judgment of Heaven to absorb the Honkai energy scattered in the air for combat.

As for the Honkai energy within the captain's body, it had already been completely used up during the breakout.

After a brief thank you, the captain took the energy box from the crow and placed it on the Heavenly Judgment, which had now transformed back into its greatsword form.

Soon after, powered by the vast imaginary energy from the energy tank, the Heavenly Judgment erupted once more with astonishing flames. It even went a step further, transforming into its Annihilation form. Moreover, the remaining energy also provided the captain with a large amount of imaginary energy for conversion.

At this moment, the captain, now fully recovered, led the crow out of the fugitives' encirclement and finally reunited with the others in front of the transfer elevator.

After a brief exchange of intelligence, the captain and Walter unanimously decided to carry out a decapitation strike first, and then rush to the lowest level to liberate the trapped prison guards.

The group returned to the cell where the Captain and Jackdaw had previously been. The Captain and Welt were studying an attack route using coordinates from the detector and a map provided by Snowcoat, while Jackdaw was receiving treatment from Seele under Snowcoat's care.

After completing their final preparations, the group began to advance towards the location of the mastermind. Strangely, despite their impressive display of force, it was impossible for the mastermind not to have noticed them, yet the mastermind remained completely still, not moving an inch.

It was as if he was waiting for their arrival. In the end, under the powerful firepower of the group, they easily overcame all obstacles and arrived in front of the mastermind.

She was a woman with long, light purple hair and fairy-like ears. Her scarlet eyes looked at the people who came before her with indifference, like the surface of a calm lake, before a smile quickly appeared at the corner of her eyes.

"You are finally here."

She spoke, her voice like the purest bird song in the world, but it revealed an undeniable, clumsy imitation.

"I am the Herrscher of Corruption, a beautiful and lovely girl like a flower, but I would prefer you to call me Alicia~?"
