Chapter 792

Turning to Miss Lingsha, he asked.

【The General just said that your master's martial prowess is extraordinary, that he defeated Hulei and performed a great meritorious deed.】

【Therefore the Marshal ordered this fierce beast handed over to Luo Fu for disposal — consider it an honor?】

Regarding this question,

Miss Lingsha thought for a moment,

then offered her own opinion.

【Young Lady Lingsha has a grave misunderstanding about this arrangement; allow me to explain it slowly.】

While the few of them talked,

they did not forget to keep moving.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the passage leading to the place where Hulei was held.

Here, there was a collapsed wolf-shaped mecha.

【I heard from Hearing Yanqing that the company's ship was attacked by the Buli people.】

【What was being transported on the ship was this thing?】

It was General Jing Yuan's first time seeing this wolf-shaped mecha in the flesh.

【Yes. The Gongzao Si and the Danding Si jointly conducted an inspection...】

【This machine's components used specially processed Buli biological tissue.】

【I've heard that the Boshixue Society has long been researching the biological traits of long-life species, hoping to obtain results usable in medicine or combat.】

【But constrained by their surface relationship with the Alliance, they didn't dare go too far.】

Miss Lingsha offered a brief explanation.

【Perhaps in those scholars' eyes, the Buli people are no different from experimental animals.】

【The reason the Buli people attacked that ship — could it be to retaliate against the Boshixue Society's experiments on their kin?】

Brother Dan Heng guessed.

【No. If it were simply to take revenge on the company and the society, they could have just destroyed the ship and ruined all the cargo.】

【That way, it wouldn't have ended up in the Shackled Prison.】

【This was a deliberately staged performance, exposing the cargo's danger to the public, all so that they could be smoothly delivered into the Shackled Prison to serve as weapons for a jailbreak.】

Stelle: "Hulei is imprisoned in Luo Fu — and there's actually another hidden story behind it?"

March 7th: "Ah, this... isn't it just like Miss Lingsha said — because the one who captured him was the Sword Champion of Luo Fu, so he was held in Luo Fu?"

Lingsha: "I did indeed believe so."

Lingsha: "But judging from the General's manner, that isn't actually the case..."

Jing Yuan: "As Hulei is the mortal enemy of the Foxfolk, normally, by every right and reason, he should be handed over to the Yaoqing Xianzhou where the Foxfolk are concentrated for custody."

Jing Yuan: "But the Marshal ultimately entrusted him to Luo Fu for custody — in fact, there is a hidden purpose behind it..."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "For Luo Fu, imprisoning a heavy criminal like Hulei basically brings no benefit at all."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "Because he is far too dangerous — any mishap would plunge Luo Fu into utter ruin."

Diviner Fu Xuan: "If the Marshal had not given the order, I could never have imagined Luo Fu willing to take over this hot potato."

Furina: "So in other words... this isn't really an honor, but rather a heavy burden?"

Lumine: "There's definitely some honor in it too, but compared to how dangerous he is, it doesn't seem that important..."

The video continued.

【Such clever exploitation of the blind spots of human nature — this is utterly at odds with the Buli people's usual style.】

【The company and the Boshixue Society were probably used as pawns without even knowing what was going on.】

General Jing Yuan carefully pondered the matter.

But just then, the wolf-shaped mecha on the ground seemed to stir.

【You two, be careful. This thing is still alive!】

【Suffering such severe damage, and it can still self-repair?】

The wolf-shaped mecha rose with a boom,

and the damaged parts of its body began to rapidly regenerate.

【Their imitation of the long-life species has really gone too far.】

Miss Lingsha watched this scene, frowning tightly.

Then, the three of them acted together,

and the wolf-shaped mecha collapsed to the ground once more without suspense.

【General, you still haven't answered my question — why is Hulei imprisoned in Luo Fu rather than Yaoqing.】

【You keep your lips so tightly sealed — could it be that this arrangement is not actually any kind of honor?】

Seeing the wolf-shaped mecha fall,

Miss Lingsha continued to press the earlier question.

【The reason the Marshal did not keep Hulei in Yaoqing is right before your eyes, on this very machine.】

General Jing Yuan looked at this mecha,

and gave the answer.
