Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

"Qingque, you're fired!"

"Huh? Me...? This, this too..."

With a roar from Fu Xuan, Qing Que lowered her head in shock, while Su Chang also spoke indignantly from the side.

"How cunning! They managed to take down one of our top generals right from the start!"

"This is... amazing!"

Qingque showed the same happy expression as when her colleague told her she was getting married. She slowly raised her head, her face flushed, and she didn't look like she did when she learned she had been fired.

She even fantasized about opening a mahjong parlor in Changletian after receiving the compensation, playing Emperor Jade Mahjong with customers every day.

"…ah?"

The crowd, clearly not keeping up with Qingque's pace, looked puzzled. Then Qingque chuckled and began to explain why she was so happy.

"Hehe, I also feel that it's improper of me to idle around all day, drawing a salary from the tax collector while playing cards... it's really... what's that saying again..."

"So good it's unbearable?"

“I think so too, Xiao Gui Zi, I’ve always dreamed of living like this.”

Gui Naifen agreed with Xing's words from the side.

“It’s a waste of my life. Thank you, Lord Diviner, for giving me a push. Since you also think I shouldn’t stay here and waste my talents, I should think of making some changes.”

"Hahaha! Interesting! This is the first time I've seen someone with such a clear understanding of themselves. I like it!"

While laughing, Shi Zhilu patted Qingque's back forcefully, causing Qingque to cough.

"Ahem. However, before I leave, I need to help a few people resolve the troubles facing the Taipusi. Otherwise, people will think I was dismissed because I deserted in the face of danger."

That's true, but Qingque was completely clueless about what to do next.

"What should we do next? Hehe, I've been so busy saying cool things, how exactly can we get the diviner out of his demonic possession?"

"I don't know either. It seems that Suiyang doesn't intend to trap us with the illusion, nor does he seem to want to attack us..."

"..."

"Come on, with his cowardly nature, he probably won't dare to make a move. Leave this to me. I will turn the tide!"

The Herald of Knowledge shouted, followed by a sharp sound like shattering glass, as if he had crushed something in his hand. When everyone came to their senses, a ball of purple will-o'-the-wisp had appeared beside Fu Xuan.

Meanwhile, Fu Xuan was holding his forehead, looking quite uncomfortable. He finally recovered with the help of the pills that Huo Huo had given him.

"Is this the Rhinoceros Flame? Although it doesn't have much power, if you get entangled in it, it can really plunge you into endless despair."

"Hurry...hurry and take me...into the darkness...I saw it, you used a power I don't know to force me...out of her body...and put me in the prison..."

The group looked at each other, and after confirming that Xi Yan had no intention of resisting, Huo Huo also took out the gourd magic weapon used by the oppressor Sui Yang.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the Rhinoceros Flame being put into the gourd without any resistance. Only the Herald of Knowledge sighed.

I thought I could have a really good game, but this is how it turned out?

"But speaking of which, I'm a little curious about what Fu Xuan saw when he was possessed?"

Fu Xuan sighed and slowly began to explain, which could be considered as satisfying Xing's curiosity.

"Ah...it's just a scenario where no matter how I divine, I can't see another future."

"So you're saying you've seen a predetermined future?"

"Yes."

"That's it? I thought it would be much more hopeless."

"how do I say this?"

“There is also someone in my area who can see destiny, and she has done many things that have changed destiny.”

"The results of it?"

"They all failed."

"This……"

"Although she failed, she once gave up on that world full of despair. But there are always some people who can lead people toward hope. Fortunately, we met such people. It's just a pity that we still failed in the end, but we left behind the seeds of civilization, leaving hope for the subsequent civilization to successfully cross the end."

"From what you're saying, it sounds like you've experienced those things yourself. Based on your description, what you're talking about are things from a pre-civilization era in your world, right?"

"That's right, but I didn't say I wasn't from a previous civilization!"

Seeing Xing's surprised expression, the Herald of Knowledge finally lost his composure and awkwardly scratched his head.

"Okay, actually I'm not exactly a person from a previous civilization. After all, I'm just a Herrscher born from the existing civilization of my world. The real people from previous civilizations are the ancient relics. At most, I just possess all of her memories."

"Uncle Yang once told us that your world's pre-civilization existed tens of thousands of years before our current civilization. If Fu Hua really is from that pre-civilization, then wouldn't that mean..."

"Pah, pah, pah! How could that be! Although the previous civilization has been destroyed, it still left behind shelters. For tens of thousands of years, the ancient beings spent their time in hibernation pods. They only came out to actively participate for a few thousand years, witnessing the origin and development of civilization in a region..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was still refuting, suddenly remembered something, and she rested her right hand on her chin as if she was thinking.

"According to the old relic's memories... it seems that during her time in the hibernation pod, she was simulating battles against the Honkai in her consciousness, but theoretically, those simulated battles should all be considered dreams..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Fu Xuan finally spoke up to interrupt the Herrscher of Knowledge's thoughts, feeling that if she continued talking, her own and the names of everyone else present might be in danger.

But is their world actually a world of immortal beings? And they've lived for so long without developing a demonic aura, so could I...?

"No, the humans in our world are actually short-lived. The ancient beings achieved immortality for some reason, and with it comes a side effect called hyperthymesia, which requires them to periodically clear the memories in their minds. Otherwise, the ancient beings would have been driven mad by those junk memories long ago. And your next question is, how did you know what I was thinking?"

How did you know what I was thinking?

Fu Xuan covered her mouth in surprise. She was surprised that the Herrscher of Knowledge could see through her thoughts. Could it be that she was actually someone who could predict the future?

"You're still too young. I'm a Herrscher who controls consciousness, and this is just an illusion projected by your own consciousness. Reading your thoughts would be a piece of cake. But I think it's about time, so I'll take you out."

As Fu Xuan spoke, his vision blurred for a moment, and when it returned, the surrounding environment seemed unchanged. Only the diviners gradually regained their senses, looking around in confusion, still unable to figure out why they were there. In the end, they could only return to their posts with their questions lingering.

At this moment, Qingque cautiously approached Fu Xuan's side. Seeing her uncontrollable upturned lips and radiant face, Fu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Does what you said in the illusion just now, Master Diviner, still stand?"

Looking at Qingque's happy face, Fu Xuan recalled what he had said in the illusion and immediately felt ashamed. Expulsion was out of the question.

Don't be fooled by Qingque's lazy attitude and tendency to slack off at work. That slacking off is based on the premise that she has already completed all her tasks. If you fire her, you won't be able to find a suitable successor to train in the short term.

Everyone knows that Fu Xuan wants to become a general, and Jing Yuan is also to blame for the calamities that Luo Fu has experienced during this period. The alliance's higher-ups will definitely send people to investigate. At that time, General Jing Yuan's position is very likely to be in jeopardy, and then Fu Xuan himself will naturally have a high probability of taking over the position of general.

Through his experience as acting general during this period, Fu Xuan knew that he would not be able to simultaneously hold the position of Grand Diviner in the Grand Divination Bureau. If things really developed into Jing Yuan resigning as general and taking over the position himself, Qing Que would undoubtedly be the person with the best chance of becoming the Grand Diviner.

Of course, this is all predicated on her being able to break her bad habit of slacking off and playing cards all the time, so the current response is naturally...

"Ahem, did I say anything at the time? I don't remember anything. And Qingque, were you late for work again? You're punished to finish organizing all the materials in the library today. I'll personally supervise you then, understand?"

Seeing that Fu Xuan was acting like a rogue, Qing Que realized that she couldn't possibly be fired. Heartbroken, she could only drag her body back to receive her punishment.

What could he do? He was just a librarian with no other options left. Rebelling against Fu Xuan was clearly impossible.

Thus, the Taibusi incident was resolved smoothly, and after Fu Xuan's discussion, Xingzai's edited reply post was officially published on Luofu Zazu.

Back at Suiyuan, everyone resumed their account management journey, during which they also resolved several more strange incidents caused by Suiyang.

The most memorable experience was undoubtedly the second time they entered the Taibu Temple. However, the one who was possessed that time was Qingque. With the help of Fu Xuan, everyone successfully resolved the incident.

This time, their request came from a supernatural post about swords.
