Chapter 1 Jiang Xiao, Statistics

"Jiang Xiao, the statistics are out." Zhang Songfu lifted the curtain of the central military tent and walked in excitedly. It was clear that he was a little excited.

"Oh?" Jiang Xiao turned to look, then pointed at Zhang Songfu and introduced to the crowd, "His name is Zhang Songfu, a member of the Night Watch, and his current Star Power Realm is the mid-stage Star Sea. He is a swift warrior, and his code name in my team is Buddha. He is also from my Baihua Forest Tribe."

In the central military tent, He Yun sat on a chair and nodded at Zhang Songfu with a smile.

In fact, Zhang Songfu had already noticed this old man.

Moreover, Zhang Songfu and Senior He Yun had known each other for a long time. Back then, when they were in the Upper Snow Plains Dimension, He Yun had visited Zhang Songfu with bait. At that time, He Yun was sheltering more than a dozen social figures who had accidentally entered the upper dimension, so he did not stay in Zhang Songfu's home for long.

At that time, Zhang Songfu wanted to accompany Senior He Yun, but after comprehensively considering various factors, He Yun still did not bring Zhang Songfu along.

There were many reasons why He Yun didn't bring Zhang Songfu back to the shelter, the most important of which was the environment of the shelter at that time.

It wasn't the geographical environment, after all, it was a snow plain, and the conditions were very harsh, so there was no such thing as a good or bad environment.

The so-called "environment" of the shelter was the human environment.

The social figures in the shelter generally didn't think highly of the Night Watch, including the Guardians.

There was even a time when, under such harsh conditions and nearly collapsing emotions, the social figures who had accidentally entered the Upper Snow Plains believed that it was due to the mistakes and negligence of the Guardians and the Night Watch that led them to accidentally enter the upper dimension.

Since I spent money on a ticket to enter the Jiangbin City, Jiannan Village Snow Plains Other Dimension Space, then you soldiers have the responsibility and obligation to protect us.

Even if life and death are destined, wealth is determined by heaven.

But I am normally training in the snow plains, and if I die, then I die. We won't say much. But you Night Watch are the guardians of the Sacred Ruins!

Under such layers of protection, why were we chased by White Ghosts and White Ghost Witches into the Sacred Ruins? Why were we forced to break into the "ocean" of the White Ghost Clan, and finally had no choice but to break into the Sacred Ruins?

Why didn't you save us in time? Why did you let us accidentally enter a restricted area?

This is just the idea of a few social figures. You should know that there are more than just these people who accidentally entered the upper dimension. Among them, there are many people who were brought into the upper dimension by suddenly appearing space-time tunnels.

The resentment of this kind of people is even deeper.

People's hearts are complicated, especially when living under such particularly harsh conditions. There are definitely not a few people whose psychology gradually becomes distorted.

Even if their psychology isn't distorted, there are still a large number of normal people who, when problems arise, think about how to shirk responsibility, how to find someone to take the blame, and how to put the blame on others.

When He Yun first saw Zhang Songfu, including when he first saw Cang Lan and Hu Wei, he knew at a glance that these few were soldiers! So, he didn't mention these things.

As an old man, He Yun had a natural umbrella, and he was also a pioneer, and the savior of those social figures, providing them with shelter, and his strength was far greater than those people, so He Yun's relationship with those social figures reached a delicate balance, which also made the order of that shelter relatively stable.

Even until now, He Yun had never told Jiang Xiao where those social figures he sheltered lived.

Why?

Because Jiang Xiao was also a soldier, and he was still a member of the Night Watch!

Jiang Xiao wouldn't judge the right or wrong of He Yun's approach, but he always had some small ideas in his heart.

"Old sir! Hope you've been well!" Zhang Songfu cupped his fists and bowed to He Yun.

But anyone with discerning eyes could see that Zhang Songfu's movements were adequate, but his attitude was a bit perfunctory.

He Yun had lived a long life, so what couldn't he see?

He also knew that for Zhang Songfu, who was alone at the time, his appearance and quick departure had brought a lot of inner harm to this soldier.

He Yun stood up and returned a salute to Zhang Songfu.

Such a scene was very interesting. They were both soldiers, but when they greeted each other, they both used ancient Chinese etiquette.

Jiang Xiao looked at the two of them and changed the subject, saying, "This is my subordinate, from the Oiyu Troop, Oiyu Squad, Sanwei."

Zhang Songfu's reaction was very interesting. He stood at attention and saluted directly, "Sir!"

The blind girl was stunned for a moment, as if a little at a loss, and just nodded.

This society always has more tolerance for disabled people. Although everyone knows that the blind girl is not really blind, at least her appearance is there.

Zhang Songfu didn't get a return salute, but he didn't say anything, self-deceptively pretending that she couldn't see...

Jiang Xiao changed the subject again, breaking the slightly awkward situation, and said, "Since we are all in the Alien Sphere, let's re-team. I'll take the lead. I'm a colonel, so I'll be the captain first..."

"Cough, cough..." He Yun covered his mouth with one hand and coughed twice.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at He Yun and said, "Yo, Old He, are you feeling unwell? Heal yourself. I'm Jiang Tu, not Jiang Xun. I'll have Jiang Xun calculate for you later, after he finishes interrogating the prisoners, to see how you got sick."

He Yun: "..."

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, "Let's discuss it, let's form a team. A team needs rules. You guys think of a team name first. By the way, Buddha, what are the statistics?"

Zhang Songfu said, "There are 734 Yin Yang Soul Masters, 717 White-Faced Dancers. The number of Paper Ink Book Souls is difficult to count. Most of them left in the chaos. The ones left behind are also naturally naughty. Only when He Chongyang is around can they be a little quieter. Currently, the number is the smallest, only 72."

Speaking of this, Zhang Songfu paused and continued, "It is worth noting that almost every Paper Ink Book Soul is equipped with a Zhuangyuan brush (Imperial Scholar Brush), and 36 of them are also equipped with a red silk inkstone.

Although they are all Star Beasts, due to their biological characteristics, Paper Ink Book Souls and Zhuangyuan brushes and red silk inkstones have formed a relationship similar to that of humans and Star Pets."

"In addition, that Diamond-ranked Silver Lover is outside organizing the Ghost Monk team, with a number of about 400."

Speaking of this, Zhang Songfu's expression was a bit unsightly.

Jiang Xiao curiously asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Songfu: "This team has a very large number of Star Beads. In the Central Plains, the Star Clans in the Star Caves, the Auspicious Beasts and Mandarin Ducks in Night City, including the White Pi (Pixiu) and other creatures in Ludong, have all been hunted and turned into Star Beads."

Zhang Songfu frowned and said, "The biological composition of this team is very simple. It does not accept creatures other than those from the Yin Yang Soul Space, the Bookstore Space, and the top of the Ancient Pagoda, and..."

Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "And... a considerable portion of the hunted Star Beads are sent to the Kimchi Peninsula."

"Huh?" Zhang Songfu was slightly surprised, and looked up at Jiang Xiao on the main seat. He didn't know if this was information provided by He Chongyang to Jiang Xiao, or...

Zhang Songfu's heart stirred, and he said, "Did the interrogation yield results?"

"Hehe." Jiang Xiao said in a cold voice, "That thin man has confessed everything he should. I'm just confirming it. As for that couple..."

At the same time, in Zhang Songfu's Hai Ling Shelter.

Jiang Xun stretched out a hand and flicked another Zhong Ling (Bell).

The crisp and sweet sound of the bell rang, and the jumping medical light waves shuttled back and forth between a man and a woman.

The woman had her hands behind her back, wearing handcuffs, kneeling on the ground, with her head lowered, and blood was still flowing from the corners of her mouth. A pool of bright red blood exuded a pungent bloody smell, very thick.

Baze pressed the cold body of the dagger against the woman's ugly face, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't injure her 'Tears of Sorrow' Star Technique. You can't suffer a particularly painful mental blow in a short period of time, but unfortunately..."

Baze's palm slid down violently, and a bright red scratch was added to the woman's ugly face, "The interrogation process will be extended indefinitely."

In fact, Jiang Xiao had seen the woman's original appearance, and what he never expected was that this woman, who was once dressed gorgeously and looked extremely beautiful, was actually a disguised image, and her original appearance wasn't even considered ordinary.

Jiang Xiao himself also had Star Techniques for disguise, so of course he understood what a "face change" was.

But this woman was too presumptuous. Even if you change your face, you should increase the value of your appearance on the basis of your original appearance, right?

But this woman really and completely "changed her head"! Jiang Xiao even felt that she had changed her "race".

Uh, although this description is a bit exaggerated, her changes to her image are really too great.

"Tsk, tsk..." Baze patted the woman's cheek with the cold dagger body and sighed, "Your Kimchi country plays pretty wild?

You actually threw this group of death row inmates into the upper dimension. Not many of you walked out of the Upper Immortal Flowers Other Dimension Space and actually entered the Alien Sphere, right?"

During the interrogation, Jiang Xiao also added a point of knowledge. In the parallel world (highlighted), Kimchi country has not abolished the death penalty, whether in writing or in practice.

The woman lowered her head deeply, as if unwilling to show her face, she shook her head left and right, and said, "No, not many."

Everyone has a breaking point. If "Tears of Sorrow" were here, these twists and turns wouldn't be needed. Jiang Xiao could directly use Star Techniques to cause her mental breakdown.

But without "Tears of Sorrow" here, if you want to interrogate, you have to put in some thought.

Of course, this is not a society of normal order. There are not too many rules here. Everything depends on personal morality to restrain personal behavior.

And facing this Star Warrior criminal, especially a person who was already a death row inmate in the Earth before entering the Alien Sphere, Jiang Xiao would not have any guilt for any words or deeds he used to force a confession.

"Let me live, I promise you anything. You don't need to interrogate me, I'll tell you everything." The woman knelt down and kowtowed on the ground, "Please... please unlock the Star Power handcuffs, please, I'll listen to you."

Baze squatted in front of her, looking at the woman thoughtfully. To be honest, he couldn't see any signs of lying, and instead felt that everything the woman said was the truth.

Of course, the woman's identity was here. Not only was she not a good man or woman, but she was also a death row inmate whose crimes were too numerous to count. Therefore, Jiang Xiao didn't trust her from the bottom of his heart.

The woman's voice trembled, constantly begging, "Please unlock the handcuffs and let me change back to my original face, please..."

I wipe...

Baze couldn't help but suck his teeth. This woman was terminally ill!

It is no exaggeration to say that she was experiencing a life-and-death interrogation at this time!

And what was she thinking in her head?

Change back to her "original" face?

So morbid? Was this her breaking point?

Baze said, "Yin Yingzhen, I can unlock the Star Power handcuffs for you, and I can let you change back to your 'original' appearance. Now, I'll ask you something, and you answer."

"Definitely, definitely." Yin Yingzhen pressed her forehead tightly to the ground, buried her face, and said in a low voice.

Baze: "How did your country know about the existence of the Alien Sphere?"

Yin Yingzhen: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know."

Baze licked his lips and continued, "What did your country... send you up here to do?"

Yin Yingzhen: "To drive as many Star Beasts as possible within the territory of Kimchi country into the territory of Jindalai."

Baze: "..."

I'll go to your uncle, this move is awesome!

If there are fewer Star Beasts in the Kimchi country in the Alien Sphere, then there will be fewer other dimension spaces projected downwards, right?

Conversely, if there are more Star Beasts in the Jindalai country in the Alien Sphere, then there will be more other dimension spaces and Sacred Ruins projected downwards to Earth, right?

Baze said, "You are all prisoners, and still death row inmates. Can you be so obedient?"

Yin Yingzhen trembled and said, "There were also military personnel who came up with us, but after entering the Alien Sphere, because of a rebellion, those people were killed by us. Two companions and I fled to Huaxia, Ludong."

Baze frowned and said, "Why are you still constantly transporting Star Beads to the island country? Why did you build this army?"

Yin Yingzhen: "Their strength is too much stronger than ours. Only by paying tribute can we not be hunted down by those prisoners. We built this army, at first, to strengthen ourselves and get rid of their threat, and later... I fell in love with the taste of power, I like people obeying my orders."

She's really saying everything she knows and saying it endlessly, huh?

Does she really want to change back to that face so much?

The world is really big, and there are all kinds of strange things...
