Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 364 Sasana: Exciting!

Only when the footsteps fade away can you breathe softly and feel the lingering stench of animals receding into the distance...

Pepper Hill opened her eyes slightly—just a crack—and scanned the visible area around her.

There were no living creatures left, only the corpses of military officers and wolf soldiers lying scattered on the ground, a scene of utter devastation.

He didn't dare to take any action for the time being.

They even held their breath.

But he didn't hold his breath for long.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a stone door opening.

The sound wasn't loud, but to Jiaoqiu's ears, it was deafening.

He didn't even bother pretending to be dead anymore. He immediately opened his eyes and, with a speed that was out of character for a chef and a doctor, flipped over and jumped up, the hairs on his tail standing on end.

—The opening of the stone gate signifies that something else is about to emerge from this prison.

The Eternal Prison suppresses a group of the Alliance's most wanted criminals. The escape of Hu Lei is already troublesome enough; if another one were to emerge...

Jiaoqiu had made up his mind; he would fight to the death to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Then, he saw the familiar girl.

The blonde girl was approaching him when he suddenly did a somersault and jumped up. His expression at that moment was quite something.

"Wow, Uncle Jiaoqiu, you're pretty skilled!"

The girl gave a seal-like clapping performance.

"Sasha?"

Sasana, the sea patrol knight, is the precious jewel raised by everyone in General Yaoqing's mansion.

Behind her, the snow-clad judge, whose doll body had just been crushed, carefully walked out, seemingly still a little out of control.

Pepper's brain shrank for a second.

Then it dawned on me: "I knew it... I felt like I could sense your presence as soon as I came in. So you were here."

Pepper's gaze shifted to behind Sasana.

—The gates of another eternal prison were open, with only a sliver of light inside.

If I remember correctly, this used to be... the room where Yin Yue was imprisoned.

This is the only empty cell here.

So, Sasana had been hiding here the whole time. After Xueyi's doll body was crushed, she secretly pulled Xueyi away and prepared a spare doll body for her.

Xueyi is still adapting to her new body, but she is now able to control it.

Sasana heard no sound outside and was about to come out to pull her dear Uncle Pepper inside to tend to his wounds.

But Jiaoqiu wasn't injured at all.

"Just now, the True Lord used a little trick, and the group of Bu Li people were in a hurry to leave, so they managed to deceive us."

Jiaoqiu touched his chest.

Nothing happened there; not even their clothes were torn.

"Did the True Lord send you to hide here?"

Jiaoqiu asked a question.

Sasana nodded: "Yes, by order of the True Lord, my brother went to the Jingfeng Ship to prepare first, and I came here to help you—by the way, where is Moze?"

Although Sasha calls Jiaoqiu "uncle"—there's no way around it, since Jiaoqiu feeds the siblings delicious food—she always addresses Moze by his first name.

Jiaoqiu looked at the stairs leading to the upper level: "Moze has already escaped, someone has to go and deliver the message."

The invisibility of the Maekawa is perfect for this.

After hearing this, Sasana pondered for a moment:

"That day, after the True Lord ordered me to rescue you, I went straight to a cell in the Upper Prison, Judge Snow Robe, did you know that?"

Xueyi was working hard to close the prison door of Eternal Hell.

Hearing Sasana's question, she turned her head and looked at the things on Sasana's phone.

"Is it also an empty prison?"

Sasana looked at Xueyi's unchanged expression and asked in confusion.

"...No, it's the prisoners inside..."

Xueyi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Pepper and Sasana looked at her together.

Even though it's a puppet, it's a little embarrassing right now.

Xueyi sighed:

"That was one of the heads of the Pinocchio 'family,' but it seems he isn't anymore."

It's no secret that the Great Lord of Annihilation escaped from the Demon Prison of Luofu back then. Within the slightly higher levels of the alliance, this is not a secret.

Jiaoqiu naturally knew this as well.

"Is his name Sunday? The brother of that famous singer, the robin?"

Sasana exclaimed in shock, "Uncle Jiaoqiu, you're a fan of celebrities too?"

Pepper Hill: ...

"Can't I even have some leisure time?"

Xueyi nodded and said, "Since the True Lord personally ordered the arrest, we naturally dare not slack off. This Mr. Sunday has also suffered some hardships in this prison."

He has truly suffered some hardships.

"So, the True Lord has already made arrangements and sent him to provide backup?"

Jiaoqiu asked.

Xueyi was unaware of this, after all, the judge had no need to speculate about what one of his top superiors wanted to do.

"Let's go take a look first."

In the end, it was Jiaoqiu who made the decision.

Although I'm not very familiar with him, I've heard that the family behind that person released a major criminal from the Alliance.

But keeping that serious criminal in Luofu would only make him a hot potato.

Plus, that person turned themselves in...

I understand everything I understand.

"We'll probably have to wait a bit longer; the people above haven't gone far yet."

The wolf howls are fading into the distance.

But it did not disappear.

----------------

For Sasana and her group, the current situation of hiding in the Eternal Prison is very exciting.

For Danheng and Xing...

Only more exciting.

Led by the crows, they first passed through the Frozen Prison, where the cold wind made them shiver, especially Xing.

Wearing this super short skirt that showed off her two long legs, if it weren't for the protective power of her pioneering spirit and the special material of her own body, she would have been freezing and hugging herself.

Don't ask why I didn't hug Danheng and Hanya.

They passed a warehouse piled high with shipping containers.

The cargo that Scott, the lone wolf, was escorting is right here.

Some people in the Erudite Society like to create strange and unusual things. These dangerous items are first sent to the prison for safekeeping, and only after it is confirmed that they are safe can they be sent out.

At first, everything was calm.

Just as the crow was about to lead the two away, it suddenly noticed that the box not far away had been opened.

She found it strange, since she didn't recall having the goods checked a second time.

So she leaned over and took a look.

This was quite an eye-opener; they discovered a damaged military uniform peeking through a gap beneath the cargo box.

Hearing her gasp in surprise, Danheng and Xing also ran over and saw Wu Bian's mangled body.

While they were stunned, a mechanical walking figure suddenly appeared above the box.

Dan Heng reacted quickly, shoving Xing aside and dodging the mechanical stepper's attack.

The crow hurriedly pressed the communicator:

"The situation is urgent! Military officers, listen to my orders and come to our aid immediately!"

The communication seemed to be interrupted by something, and there was no response.

However, none of the three of them were ordinary people; they easily dealt with just a few wolf soldiers.

However, the underlying issues are even more worrying.

Dan Heng said that someone probably wanted to get these goods through the strict review of the Immortal Boat Alliance so that they could be sent to the Dark Prison.

So, is it necessary to talk to the PhD student next?

Xing seemed to remember that Yun had asked that godfather named Latio... Well, Professor Latio, was the Erudite Society doing some kind of unethical research?

However, it seems Professor Latio didn't know either...

"The Prison of Confinement is out of control..."

The crow murmured, "You two, please be careful."

She needs to see if she can summon a few of the surviving military officers to ask about the situation.
