Chapter 23: Abnormal delivery boxes, the Cloud Knights and Dihengsi searching on a large scale

~7 min read 1,368 words

I don't know when it started, but in the Star Skiff Sea Hub, some people began to intentionally discard deliveries, and I don't know what they were aiming for.

There were all kinds of strange things in the deliveries, and some people used them specifically to prank others, which led to the Xianzhou people becoming indifferent to discarded deliveries, and even stopped caring about them.

Lin Mo, however, looked at the delivery with interest, rubbing his chin and saying: "If I remember correctly, there is a special law on the Xianzhou Luo Fu regarding property ownership. Any ownerless little delivery box belongs to the first person who finds it."

This delivery box, just looking at the paper lid stretched round from the surface, was a delivery box stuffed full. It must contain quite a few things.

"That's right, Guest."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the fox-eared little maid nodded respectfully: "I just took a look, and the digital receipt on this delivery box doesn't specify the sender or address, nor does it mark the recipient's information. It can be opened."

"However, they are usually all kinds of strange little gadgets, and it's also possible that someone is playing a prank. The Guest is the first to find it, so this delivery box naturally belongs to the Guest. I will open it for you."

Saying this, the fox-eared little maid immediately took action and quickly dismantled the delivery box that was blocking the way.

Anyway, this delivery box had to be moved, so she might as well dismantle it.

After the fox-eared little maid dismantled the delivery, she saw that it was full of toy models.

The model figures had different shapes, and the only common point was that they hadn't been dismantled or played with.

The packaging box was also carefully wrapped with a layer of protective film, and the clothing was also very revealing, which made the fox-eared little maid's eyelids jump. Which fat otaku threw this away?

Casually pushing these things aside, the fox-eared little maid took out the things below. They were stacks of picture albums. Just from the state of the book page corners, she knew that the owner of this delivery box had flipped through these picture albums countless times under the lamp, unable to put them down.

It was just the picture album patterns on the surface that made the fox-eared little maid's face turn red, and she bit her lip lightly.

Whose bastard thing is this? No wonder it was thrown here. She was embarrassed to death.

"Sure enough."

Seeing this thing, Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly. If he remembered correctly, the next thing would be a game console.

It was the delivery box he knew.

At this time, the fox-eared little maid had already put down the picture album for the first time. Even without flipping it open, she knew the content inside could make her blush with shame.

Then she looked at other things. There was a small box the size of a palm, filled with small picture cards. It looked like some kind of game card.

Looking further down, there was a game console and several game cartridges.

Seeing that these things were gradually becoming normal, the fox-eared little maid felt relieved. It was finally normal.

Looking at the last thing, it was a letter.

The fox-eared little maid picked it up immediately and saw the words written on it at a glance: 【Marriage is the grave of love, I'm not sure about that, but it must be the grave of hobbies. Please, kind person who found these treasures, treat my collection of these years well, thank you.】

"Sure enough."

Seeing this letter, just as he thought, Lin Mo shook his head. This thing was indeed what he thought, the thing thrown out by that person who stepped into marriage.

"Guest."

At this time, the fox-eared little maid who had already received this letter looked at Lin Mo with a flushed face.

How to deal with these things.

"If you like it, you can keep it. Take out the game console and cartridges, and you can play when you are free."

Lin Mo shook his head: "As for the others, keep them sealed here and leave them for the next destined person."

"Good!"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the fox-eared little maid nodded hurriedly.

Then she took out the game console and cartridges inside, quickly sealed this delivery box, kicked it away, and kicked it to the side.

Then she took Lin Mo back to the Minghuoshang Society.

After returning to the Minghuoshang Society, under the leadership of this fox-eared little maid, he tasted the special dinner, which was indeed very good.

After eating and drinking, he was taken to his own room to take a look.

From now on, he could sleep in the Minghuoshang Society.

Of course, he could also go directly to the inn to sleep, and someone from the Minghuoshang Society would pay for it.

After eating and drinking, Lin Mo held a cup of tea and sat at the entrance of the Minghuoshang Society, looking at the night view outside, feeling in his heart that this kind of life was really not bad.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Just when Lin Mo had just sat at the entrance of the Minghuoshang Society, he suddenly saw several teams of Cloud Knights walking quickly from a distance.

In front of each team of Cloud Knights, there was a small captain, and they were constantly directing the Cloud Knights to disperse and quickly go to certain streets, as if they were busy with something.

Not only the Cloud Knights, but some people wearing simple clothes also followed the footsteps of the Cloud Knights from time to time and scattered to the surroundings.

The originally leisurely atmosphere seemed to become a bit tense.

"Strange, why are there so many Cloud Knights suddenly appearing for no reason."

Watching so many Cloud Knights passing by the entrance of the Minghuoshang Society, the fox-eared little maid beside Lin Mo looked confused: "Did something happen?"

The Cloud Knights looking like this clearly meant they were searching for something.

"Strange, why did the number of Cloud Knights patrolling suddenly increase so much?"

"Originally, there were only two Cloud Knights patrolling back and forth on Xuanye Avenue, but now, there are actually more than a dozen."

"It's not just here on Xuanye Avenue, there are also some in the Star Skiff Sea Hub, and the Cloud Knights in many places have added manpower."

"Something must have happened. Look, isn't that a guy from the Dihengsi? These guys are actually acting together with the Cloud Knights."

"Who knows."

The sudden increase in the number of Cloud Knights, and some familiar Dihengsi personnel wandering around, also attracted the attention of many Xianzhou people and outworlders.

One after another, they were discussing curiously.

Some people passed by the front of the Minghuoshang Society while discussing, which also made Lin Mo hear these discussions, making Lin Mo raise his eyebrows.

He still knew a little bit about the Xianzhou's Dihengsi.

It is the Balance Commission that checks residence permits on the Xianzhou roads, the Balance Commission that investigates the population, the Balance Commission that maintains order at major festivals and celebrations, the Balance Commission that catches thieves on the street, the Balance Commission that inspects the ecology in the Yongshou Plain, and the Balance Commission that issues the latest "Star Time System" when the Xianzhou passes through high-gravity celestial bodies.

The Dihengsi is nominally responsible for handling ordinary criminal cases on the Xianzhou, but most of the arrest operations for ordinary criminal cases are carried out by the Cloud Knights.

Similarly, the Dihengsi is nominally responsible for issuing the calendar, but data collection is the work of the Sky-Faring Commission, and data calculation is the work of the Divination Commission.

To outsiders, the face that the Dihengsi presents to the outside world is a functional department that does odd jobs for all departments and cleans up for brother agencies, in other words, "the lower path."

They work hard and are busy for the peaceful life of everyone on the Xianzhou.

However, this is only on the surface. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
