Chapter 788

Silver Wolf: "Tch, those ordinary prisoners who escaped are really out of luck."

Silver Wolf: "They probably never imagined that escaping from prison would actually require a General of Luofu Xianzhou to bring the Cloud Knights to suppress them."

Silver Wolf: "At this rate, they're probably all done for."

Stelle: "Since you wanted to escape, you should have been prepared."

Stelle: "By the way, why is Brother Dan Heng following beside General Jing Yuan?"

Stelle: "And Miss Lingsha is also there."

Stelle: "What's going on, are the three of us splitting up or something?"

March 7th: "One person following each General, haha, it really is splitting up!"

Lingsha: "Mr. Dan Heng is, after all, the former Long Zun of Luo Fu."

Lingsha: "In the current situation, he might be of great help."

Lingsha: "As for myself, I was probably called by the General to verify the truth behind the Buli people's disguises, right?"

Hu Tao: "The one here to welcome General Jing Yuan is Miss Hanya."

Hu Tao: "It looks like Miss Hanya is safe and sound, how wonderful."

Paimon: "Um... I wonder how Miss Xueyi is doing?"

Paimon: "Did she go for repairs?"

Hanya: "My sister's soul should have temporarily returned to the Court of Karma."

Hanya: "Once her body is repaired, she can return once more."

Lumine: "That really is convenient..."

The video continues.

【Buli lunatics disguised themselves and infiltrated the Shackling Prison, broke open the prison to release the inmates, and created chaos.】

【Among the four on-duty Judges of the Capture, Lock, Punishment, and Inquiry divisions, Judge Xueyi of the Capture division has temporarily fallen in battle.】

【I will take over her duties, ordering the Golden Automaton Soul-Reapers and the Underworld Aides to enter each level, striving to restore the out-of-control areas as soon as possible.】

Hanya reported the current situation.

【I and the two behind me will descend to the depths of the Shackling Prison to investigate clues.】

Jing Yuan nodded, then said to Hanya.

【General, the situation on each level remains chaotic and unclear, and you are personally venturing into danger—】

Upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, Hanya

was startled, and wanted to speak up to dissuade him.

【It is commonplace for a General of the Cloud Knights to personally venture into danger.】

【Hulei has escaped, and the envoy from Yaoqing has been taken hostage by the Buli people; their life or death is unknown.】

【This disaster is no small matter.】

【Not only did General Tianji not utter a single word of complaint, he instead decided to strike and capture the wolf, to cut off future trouble.】

【With such a warm-hearted resolve, in both sentiment and reason, I believe Luo Fu must give an answer—】

【Where did the Buli people who stormed the prison learn of the area where Hulei was held?】

【And why, so coincidentally, did they execute their plan just before the Yaoqing envoy was prepared for escort...】

【In my view, the answers to these questions are not hard to find.】

【What matters is whether we can find clues and trace out the mastermind behind the scenes.】

Jing Yuan came here to find evidence,

in order to root out the traitorous mastermind lurking in the shadows.

【I understand.】

【It's just that what the General wishes to do will probably be very difficult.】

Hanya nodded, but with some worry.

【For a long time now, this mastermind behind the scenes has disregarded Luo Fu's safety and acted wilfully.】

【Retreating will only embolden the other side, further endangering Luo Fu's peace.】

Jing Yuan's attitude was very resolute.

【Just as the General has said.】

【Whatever decision the General makes, the Ten Courts of Hell will give their full assistance.】

Furina: "General Jing Yuan is here to find evidence?"

Furina: "But in this Shackling Prison, would they really leave behind any evidence?"

Hu Tao: "If we're talking about where evidence is most likely to be left, it could only be this place that was deliberately schemed, right?"

Hu Tao: "And when Hulei and the others escaped, they were in a great hurry, so they probably didn't have time to destroy any evidence."

Qingque: "I actually think they never planned to destroy any evidence in the first place."

Qingque: "Those Buli people only needed Hulei to escape, they don't care about anything else."

Stelle: "Everyone, don't forget that those who came here back then weren't just the Buli people."

Stelle: "There were also the Denizens of Abundance who appeared out of nowhere."

Stelle: "These people are certainly not above destroying evidence."

March 7th: "But General Jing Yuan arrived so promptly, they definitely didn't have time to do that!"

Jing Yuan: "So, we need to strike while the iron is hot, and pick up the pace."

Jing Yuan: "This time, we'll definitely be able to drag the mastermind out into the open!"

The video continues.

"Brother Dan Heng, Miss Lingsha, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the two of you to come along on this unpleasant errand."

Jing Yuan turned around and glanced at Brother Dan Heng and Miss Lingsha.

"It's simply the duty of the Alchemy Commission. Even if the medicine is bitter, one has to swallow it."

"Where does the General wish to begin the investigation?"

Miss Lingsha asked, offering neither agreement nor objection.

"Let's start with those Abundance-disciples disguised as fox-folk."

Jing Yuan already had a plan.

"Mm. I've already had the physical evidence prepared properly."

Miss Lingsha nodded, then turned and led the two of them over to the prepared physical evidence.

"According to General Yanqing's report, he discovered several fox-folk of unknown origin at the Starport. After tailing them, he realized they were Abundance-disciples in disguise."

"This is the remains of one of them."

Miss Lingsha briefly explained the origin of the corpse on the ground.

"Looking at him now, I simply can't imagine this fellow being able to disguise himself as a fox-folk."

Brother Dan Heng stepped forward and examined it carefully, his expression turning solemn.

"The alchemists detected some... complex medicinal compounds in his remains. It seems to explain why these Abundance-disciples were able to transform into fox-folk."

"Simply put, fox-folk and Abundance-disciples share the same origin. Although they look very different today, the two are not all that different at the genetic level."

"This drug allows Abundance-disciples to temporarily transform their bodies, presenting themselves with the appearance of fox-folk."

March 7th: "Fox-folk and Abundance-disciples share the same origin?"

March 7th: "There's even such a theory?"

Stelle: "You mean, these two races had the same ancestor from the very beginning?"

Herta: "What's there to make a fuss about?"

Herta: "In this vast cosmos, species sharing an origin are a dime a dozen."

Herta: "Nothing unusual at all."

Miss Lingsha: "That's right. It doesn't really point to any other issue."

Miss Lingsha: "But it does explain why the Abundance-disciples are able to transform."

Seeing Jiaoqiu: "If that's the case, then wouldn't they be able to transform into fox-folk without any obstacle, as long as they have the drug?"

Miss Lingsha: "Mm. Theoretically speaking, yes."

Miss Lingsha: "As for the specifics... I can't really say."

Miss Lingsha: "After all, at this moment I haven't yet, like in the video, come into contact with the corpses of these disguised Abundance-disciples to examine them."

Xiangling: "Oh my, if Abundance-disciples could easily disguise themselves as fox-folk from now on, how terrifying would that be?"
