Mrs. Xianghe took the initiative to take on the serving task and turned sideways to prepare tea set for Jiang Lianqiu.

Ji Zi put down the coffee cup in her hand—she was the only one present who didn't drink black tea—and asked softly, "I just received a message from you. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"About Pinocchio."

"Pinoconi?" Ji Zi took out the invitation. "I remember this invitation was delivered to you, Lian Qiu, a few days ago."

The Silver Crown Legion became famous in the starry sky, so Jiang Lianqiu would naturally receive a ticket to the ceremony from Pinoconi.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Aren't I waiting for you?" Ji Zi smiled and curled her lips. "Originally, I was thinking that if you, Lian Qiu, really couldn't find time, we would set off first, but now that things have taken a turn for the better, Walter and I have discussed it and decided to go with you, Lian Qiu."

"Or, you don't plan to attend this event?"

"Commander, Commander! Let's go!" Ruihe twisted Jiang Lianqiu's arm and shook it coquettishly, "Take us with you too!"

"I didn't say I wouldn't go, nor did I say I wouldn't take you with me." As Ruihe's chest rubbed his arm, Jiang Lianqiu reminded him, "But there's something I think it's better to tell you first."

Ji Zi frowned slightly, but Yue Chengliu understood: "Lian Qiu, is there something wrong with that event?"

"There was a problem from the beginning." Jiang Lianqiu nodded, and was about to explain further when -

"Feel sorry."

A cold female voice sounded.

"I thought I heard you mention Pinocchio just now. Can you tell me how to get to Pinocchio? I'm lost."

Jiang Lianqiu: “——!!!!”

The ship girls who were originally chatting and laughing, waiting for Jiang Lianqiu's next words, instantly entered combat posture, with ship equipment manifested around their bodies.

Devil horns grew on Yuecheng Liu's forehead, and the short stick at his waist was pulled out and held in his hand, extending and transforming into a naginata with flashing arcs of electricity.

Although Ji Zi didn't move, her hand was already on the toolbox beside her.

Yixuan turned into a ball of cloud ink and disappeared on the spot. Then the drifting black cloud ink re-condensed into her body behind the person who came.

"I have no ill intentions."

Huang Quan, who had appeared at no time, glanced at the people who surrounded him in an instant and shook his head indifferently.

".I just got lost and ended up here without realizing it."

"Relax, they are not enemies." Jiang Lianqiu raised his hand.

Guanghui, however, said with an extremely serious expression: "Commander, this intruder... is very dangerous!"

Very strong, extremely strong, so strong that it is even a little unreasonable.

Guanghui secretly compared Huang Quan in front of her with the strongest people she had ever met, and finally realized dejectedly that even Huanlong and Xingxiao seemed unable to bring her this unspeakable pressure.

The other party clearly didn't reveal any aura, but he was like a black hole. Just staring at her, she had the illusion that her soul was about to be annihilated and sucked into the bottomless abyss.

And if you close your eyes, you won’t even notice that there is an extra person in front of you!

At the same time, an alarm sounded in the base.

Warning! Intruder detected!

Intruder coordinates...

"Stop the alarm." Jiang Lianqiu knocked on the table and gave the order directly on the command link. "Alright, Guanghui, calm down. Miss Lei Dian Wangchuan Shou Meiyi, how did you get lost and end up here?"

Commander...know him?

Hearing Jiang Lianqiu directly say the other person's name, the group of girls looked at each other and then relaxed a little.

Huang Quan looked at Jiang Lianqiu in surprise: "You, know me?"

After a pause, she shook her head again: "It doesn't matter. Also, if you can, please call me Huang Quan. I haven't used that name for a long time."

As he said this, a hint of sadness finally appeared in Huang Quan's eyes, which had always been calm.

But in a blink of an eye, this very shallow sadness was covered by the curiosity when he looked at Jiang Lianqiu.

"I don't know why I got lost here. I just followed a vague calling from my heart and unknowingly came here."

Chapter 415: Is there such a way to seduce the commander?

How could I get lost in this heavily guarded starport base?!

Huang Quan's explanation sounded like a fairy tale to the ship girls. The outspoken Zuikaku subconsciously refuted: "How is it possible!? Anyone entering here without identity registration will immediately trigger the alarm as soon as they step in..."

"Because of the power of nothingness, right?"

Jiang Lianqiu raised his hand and made a slight downward gesture towards Ruihe, then spoke to Huang Quan in a tone that seemed like a question but was actually affirmative.

"You know a lot of things." Huang Quan did not deny Jiang Lianqiu's statement. "Have you also come into contact with the Sleeping Formless One (Void IX)?"

But before Jiang Lianqiu could answer, Huang Quan denied his statement.

"No, your presence is very strong."

"Nothingness?" Ji Zi, already on guard, breathed even harder. "What is your identity? A self-destructor? A Chaos Healer? Level IX?"

"I'm just a wanderer." Huang Quan regained his calm demeanor. "Like I said, I was looking for the way to Pinocchio, but I got lost and ended up here."

"What you just said was clearly that you were attracted by something." Ji Zi lowered her eyelids.

"That's true." Huang Quan nodded honestly, "It's because of you. When I saw you, I was sure."

Everyone followed Huang Quan's gaze and looked at Jiang Lianqiu.

"The colors of existence." Huang Quan 977 murmured, "Red... and not just red, there are other colors as well."

"You are colorful."

"What does this mean?" Zuikaku scratched his head. "Can you speak human language?"

Jiang Lianqiu seemed to understand what Huang Quan meant. He asked doubtfully, "You mean, in your eyes, I am a normal color?"

Because of the power of nothingness, Huang Quan is losing everything he has bit by bit.

Including her senses and memory.

In her eyes now, the whole world is gray, and only the red that represents existence is particularly dazzling.

However, Jiang Lianqiu in front of him was an exception.

In a gray and white world, he possesses vivid colors, more eye-catching than the red that represents existence.

"It seems that you really know a lot of things."

After wandering in the sea of ​​stars for many years, Huang Quan actually saw a normal and colorful person again. He could feel that his mood, which had been as calm as a dry well for a long time, was inexplicably rippling.

The corners of her mouth rose up slightly by two pixels.

"Because of the power of nothingness, everything I see is colorless, except you."

"Could you tell me your name? I'd like to remember it—try to remember it as long as possible, because my memory is fading."

Inexplicably, these words made everyone who had just been extremely wary of Huang Quan feel a little pity in their hearts.

"Jiang Lianqiu."

Huang Quan chewed over the name and secretly memorized it in his heart.

"Everyone who comes is a guest. No matter if you are lost or for any other reason, please take a seat."

Seeing that Jiang Lianqiu invited him, Huang Quan did not refuse.

As soon as she sat down, Guanghui prepared a set of tea sets for her and served her black tea.

"Please enjoy your meal, Miss Uninvited Guest."

"Thank you." Huang Quan nodded politely to Guanghui, "But unfortunately, I have lost my sense of taste. I am afraid that I will let you down."

Huang Quan picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip, and a look of "as expected" flashed in his eyes.

"You really can't taste it? That's such a pity." Guanghui couldn't imagine how boring life would be without being able to see colors or taste flavors.

"Indeed." Jiang Lianqiu also picked up the black tea in front of him and took a sip.

Huang Quan: “……?”

Sniff, sniff.

She suddenly wrinkled her nose.

His gaze turned and fell on the teacup in Jiang Lianqiu's hand.

"……fragrance."

As if he had discovered something incredible, Huang Quan's diamond-shaped pupils trembled slightly.

"Mr. Jiang, I can suddenly smell the fragrance of the cup in your hand."

Jiang Lianqiu: “?”

He looked down at the black tea in his hand, then at the cup in front of Huang Quan. Is there any difference?

"you sure?"

"I'm sure...can I have a taste?"

——But I’ve already had this drink!

Jiang Lianqiu, with a strange look on his face, placed the teacup on the table and slowly pushed it towards Huang Quan.

Huang Quan picked up the porcelain cup, carefully touched the tea with his lips, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and there was a slight tremor in his tone.

“I tasted it… again…!”

"No way! That's not right!" Zuikaku grabbed her hair and stared at Huang Quan with extremely suspicious eyes, "You are actually lying! You just want to use such despicable means to seduce my commander! Damn it! Commander, don't be fooled by this bad woman!"

What do you mean I can only taste the tea you’ve drunk?!

This is clearly seduction!

Or in a completely new way that has never been heard of!

"What a sharp attack." Shokaku gasped, "So there's actually a way to defeat the commander like this?"

Yixuan's face was also full of uncertainty: "Although your eyes tell me that you are not lying, and I am also quite confident in my ability to judge people, but you...?"

Is this right?

"I didn't lie." Huang Quan responded to everyone's doubts with a very serious expression.

Jiang Lianqiu reached out, picked up the black tea that Shengli had drunk, and took a sip.

Shengli blushed: "Ah! Commander, you..."

"Where is this cup?" Jiang Lianqiu knocked on the edge of the porcelain cup and asked Huang Quan.

Huang Quan nodded honestly: "I smell it."

"I won't let you drink it!" Shengli protected his black tea, glared at Huang Quan angrily, picked up the cup and drank the rest of the tea in one gulp.

Seeing that Huang Quan's eyes were almost glued to Jiang Lianqiu, Ji Zi poked his calf with the tip of her high heels under the table with a half-smile.

"That's right, Lianqiu. I'm afraid you must be very happy now, right?"

Assuming that what the person in front of her said was all true, Ji Zi didn't dare to imagine what kind of attitude a person who had no color or taste in the world in front of him would have when he suddenly found someone who could make him see colors and taste flavors.

"Why is he happy?" Huang Quan looked at Ji Zi in confusion, "Shouldn't it be me who is happy?"

"As long as you're happy." Jizi rolled her eyes coquettishly, "Just now I heard you say that you are going to Pinocchio too?"

"Yes."

Seeing that the topic was back on track, Huang Quan explained his purpose.

"So you have an invitation too?"

"I didn't." Huang Quan shook his head honestly.

Jiang Lianqiu almost forgot that he had killed Lao Gong a long time ago. How could Huang Quan have the chance to kill him and get the ticket to Pinocchio?
