Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

"Oh, you've arrived! What's this? The judges from the Ten Kings' Court are here too?"

Clearly, Qingque hadn't expected that a simple post would alarm the judges of the Ten Kings Division.

"What's the situation inside?" Xing asked.

"Let me tell you, something's not right in the Bureau right now. Everyone's muttering to themselves. Are they planning some kind of workplace coup? Could it be because I've unintentionally set a bad example?"

"Miss Qingque is too prone to making connections. No, this was purely an accident. But to explain it..."

"Hey! What's there to be conflicted about? If you ask me, we should just be honest with each other at this point."

The Lawbringer of Knowledge had had enough of Huo Huo's hesitant manner when facing the parties involved, and the tail beside him also jumped out to agree with the Lawbringer of Knowledge's statement.

So he briefly explained the cause of the incident, and also mentioned the speculation made by Suiyang, who was now captured. Rhinoceros Flame—that was the name of Suiyang who caused the incident.

Originally, it was one of the fragments of the Great Year Yang Liaoyuan that fought against the former general. It was in charge of the Liaoyuan divination ability, which is why it appeared in the Taibu Si (Grand Diviner's Office).

"In short, the current Taipusi has been taken over by a creature called Suiyang. Leave this to us; we're the professionals!"

"Well... alright, anyway, Miss Qingque, do you have any clues?"

Having already revealed the matter of Suiyang, the knowledgeable law-teller simply abandoned the attempt to conceal it and instead inquired about clues from Qingque.

"Speaking of which, although I only caught a glimpse from afar, I always felt that the Grand Diviner was somewhat different from usual. Perhaps you could go and see the Grand Diviner herself first?"

“I understand. Miss Qingque, it’s best not to get involved in this matter any further. As you’ve seen, Suiyang’s rash entry could very well lead to him being implicated.”

Unfortunately, Qingque's expression didn't suggest that she was about to leave.

"Yes, yes, I saw it all. But if I turn around and leave now, wouldn't that be considered absenteeism? Slacking off at work is one thing, but absenteeism won't be tolerated by the Diviner. Besides, you need someone familiar with the Diviner to show you the way and lend a hand, right? Let's go."

"Wouldn't this be considered a form of 'collaboration'?"

Xing's rant left Qingque speechless.

"If we're not sisters, how can you call this a traitor? You want to solve Suiyang's problem, and I'm just an informant posting to help you. At the very least, I'm colluding with you, right? No, this situation should be described as each getting what they need."

As they spoke, Qingque had already led everyone to the vicinity of the Qiongguan Formation. However, looking at the Qiongguan Formation, which was now emitting a red light and remained motionless, Qingque couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"What's going on... Could this also be the power of the Sun?"

Normally, the diviners are always busy, but now there isn't a single one. The entire Grand Diviner's Office exudes an eerie silence. This strange atmosphere makes the naturally timid Huo Huo tremble, and her body involuntarily moves closer to the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

"Miss Herrscher of Knowledge, could you come closer to me? I... I'm a little scared..."

"Tsk, aren't you already getting closer to me? As a judge, aren't you being a bit too cowardly? You still want to be a judge like this?"

Although Shi Zhi Lu Zhe verbally expressed his disdain for Huo Huo's timid behavior, he still carefully protected Huo Huo behind him.

"I also watch horror movies to train my courage!"

Huo Huo mustered her courage and walked up to the Herald of Knowledge, but the Herald of Knowledge looked at Huo Huo's legs, which were trembling like a sieve, with distrust in his eyes.

"That's just how this girl is. Even though she's the one who comes up with the suggestion, she always gets scared as soon as she starts reading."

"Tail, tail!"

"Even so, she still sat there and watched the entire illusion play, and I have to commend her for that."

"Well…"

Huo Huo was momentarily overwhelmed with emotion by the sudden praise from the tail, but unfortunately, this feeling of being touched didn't last long before it was broken.

"Every time I finish watching the illusion, I lose consciousness for a period of time. I really don't know what the point of watching this illusion is."

As he spoke, Tail burst into laughter, and Huo Huo responded weakly.

"It's all because you, Grandpa Tail, always suddenly pop up and scare me when I'm watching..."

"What, it won't work! If you don't do this, when will you ever grow bolder?"

As everyone was playing around, they arrived at the bottom of the Qiong Guan Formation. Not only was Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner, present, but many other diviners were also gathered around him. The diviners stood there blankly, looking up at the eerie Qiong Guan Formation and muttering something under their breath.

"Everyone... what happened? Are you alright?"

"There is only one road; divination is meaningless."

Qingque looked at the Qiongguan Formation, which was completely different from usual, and felt increasingly strange. Then Huo Huo pointed out that Fu Xuan was standing in the center of the Qiongguan Formation. Judging from his appearance, there was no doubt that the person possessed by Suiyang this time was Fu Xuan.

Huo Huo looked at the distance and suggested trying the Heart-to-Heart Fire Bell first, since they were so close that they should be able to enter the illusion shared by Fu Xuan and Sui Yang.

Xing nodded in agreement after hearing this, and just as Xing was about to ring the Heart-to-Heart Bell, the Herrscher of Knowledge snatched it away.

"Miss Herrscher of Knowledge, what are you doing!"

"It's nothing, it's just that it's too troublesome for you to use this. Aren't you afraid of disturbing her by using this at such a close distance, causing her to discover you and preventing you from successfully entering the illusion?"

"But didn't you succeed when you helped Miss Bailu before?"

"What happened before is history. Bai Lu is still just a child. Entering her illusion isn't a simple matter."

"But…"

Huo Huo was about to say something when her tail interrupted her.

"Alright, Huo Huo, stop trying to persuade her, she won't listen. I'd like to see how she's going to get us into Fu Taibu's illusion without this Heart-to-Heart Fire Bell."

"Haha, I am the Herrscher of Consciousness! Invading other people's consciousness is my innate ability! Just you wait and see!"

Then everyone felt their consciousness blur and closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they were greeted by the familiar scene.

"Isn't this the same place as before? What's the point of your ability?"

"No, Miss Xing, we have already entered the illusion."

"After observing the illusion around her, Huo Huo said."

Standing not far away, "Fu Xuan" seemed to realize that a group of uninvited guests had entered his illusion, and turned to look at them with displeasure.

"Silence! No noise is allowed in the Taibusi!"

"Huh? Lord Fu Xuan, you've woken up?"

"What are you thinking about? I've only sent you into this illusion. That fortune-telling Suiyang hasn't gotten you out yet."

However, before the Herrscher of Knowledge could activate his ability, Fu Xuan, who was possessed by the Rhinoceros Flame, spotted Qing Que in the crowd at a glance.

"Qingque! It's you again. Did you bring these outsiders into the department? Have you been ignoring the rules I've set for you?"

Fu Xuan looked at Qing Que, who was all smiles, and couldn't muster any anger.

"Qingque, you're fired!"
