Chapter 708

"I still remember that when I learned that the partners on the Express were in danger on Penacony, Following Dan Heng didn't hesitate to use the Alliance Jade Abacus that could only be used once. Although it wasn't used for various reasons, it still moved me deeply."

"Yes, that sentence, 【My partners... are also something I can only have once in a lifetime】, still feels fresh in my memory now."

"Following Dan Heng really treats everyone on the Astral Express as partners and family."

"Sigh, I don't know what he experienced in the Shackling Prison back then. With Following Dan Heng's temperament, he is actually still fearful of it."

"I guess this is also why Jing Yuan understood this and remained silent all along."

Astral Express.

Parlor Car.

March 7th looks at Following Dan Heng's complex expression and says: "Following Dan Heng, if you don't want to go to the Shackling Prison, you should have said so earlier. General Jing Yuan and the others shouldn't have forced you."

Following Dan Heng shakes his head silently and says: "It's fine, everyone don't worry. I can't escape the past of the Shackling Prison after all."

Stelle looks at Following Dan Heng and says: "It's okay, Following Dan Heng. The past is just the past. Now you have us partners."

Welt Yang also pats Following Dan Heng on the shoulder and says: "That's right. Facing the past is unavoidable, but after facing the past, you have to keep moving forward, don't you? On the road ahead, we will walk by your side."

Himeko smiles gently: "After all, Following Dan Heng, you are also an indispensable person on our Astral Express."

Pom-Pom nods vigorously and says: "That's right, Pom!"

Luo Fu Xianzhou.

Divination Commission.

Jing Yuan looks at Following Dan Heng's situation in the game's plot, a flash of worry and a sigh appearing on his face, which then gradually calms down.

【In the game's plot, Stelle looks at Following Dan Heng, who is feeling uncomfortable, and feels worried in her heart. After all, Following Dan Heng has always been so calm and mature, and this is the first time she has seen such a situation.】

【Stelle looks at Following Dan Heng and asks: "The Divination Commission doesn't question people outside the Shackling Prison?"】

【Following Dan Heng explains: "In other places on the Xianzhou, perhaps the Six Charioteers have more authority. But the Judges of the Ten-Lords Commission are supreme."】

【"When a Judge judges a case, they will use complex interrogation systems like the 【Mirror of Retribution】. That thing will interpret the physical changes and signals of the person being interrogated like a lens during every question and answer, leaving evidence."】

【"The judgment made through this is enough to convince the managers of other Xianzhou... at least they won't rashly overturn it. This is also the reason why General Feixiao insisted that we come here."】

Livestream room.

"So that's how it is? The function of this Mirror of Retribution is an extremely authoritative lie detector, right?"

"It should be. General Feixiao letting Following Dan Heng and the Trailblazer come to repeat the previous details through the Mirror of Retribution is also to leave those who want to find opportunities to make trouble speechless."

"Indeed. If we follow Following Dan Heng's words, the words passed through this Mirror of Retribution are basically unshakable in the eyes of the Xianzhou Alliance."

"In this way, those who question General Jing Yuan can also be made to shut up."

【In the game's plot, after Stelle observes the surrounding buildings and some relics, Lady Hanya arrives here, looks at Stelle and Following Dan Heng, and says: "Guests of the Express, sorry to keep you waiting. Lady Hanya, Judge of the Inquiry Division, greets you both."】

【Stelle looks at Lady Hanya and complains: "The Judges are just you two sisters, right?"】

【Lady Hanya looks at Stelle, saying terrifying content in a calm tone: "Why, Stelle, don't you want to see me? Never mind, I can call a Judge who is good at acupuncture, a Judge who is proficient in axes and saws, or a Judge who is good at whips to question you... There are many choices, and one of them will definitely suit you."】

【Looking at Stelle's awkward smile, Lady Hanya smiles faintly: "Just a little joke. Judges take turns on duty. You just happened to run into me, which shows that we have some fate in the dark."】

【"The matter of subduing the heliobus in the Garden of Serenity earlier really gave you trouble. Lady Hanya would like to thank you again."】

【Following Dan Heng looks at the conversation between Stelle and Lady Hanya and says: "It seems that while March 7th and I were unaware, you have become quite popular on the Luo Fu Xianzhou."】

【Stelle smiles: "After all, rely on Pom-Pom at home, and rely on friends when out."】

Livestream room.

"Hmm, it's this situation again. I'm already familiar with it."

"Same here."

"I understand. It's the same as the situation with Dr. Ratio back then, right? I understand, I understand."

"Although that's what is said, I'm still very curious about the plot where the Trailblazer and Lady Hanya met."

"Judging from Lady Hanya's words, it should be related to the heliobus."

"So that's why the Trailblazer is so familiar with the heliobus in the plot."

"But Lady Hanya's joke just now is really interesting. Why emphasize that those Judges are good at acupuncture, axes, saws, and whips? Hahahahaha."

"Doesn't this introduction make your heart panic?"

"Hahahahahahahaha, it's really panic-inducing. These Shackling Prison Judges also seem to be highly skilled, and their fighting spirit and patience are even more stunning."

"Lady Hanya saying this joke in such a flat tone is quite cute."

"Hehe, no kidding. This is the contrast moe."

Astral Express.

Parlor Car.

Pom-Pom looks at the plot in the game, holds his head high, and suddenly looks extra confident: "Hehe, Stelle the passenger said it well. From Stelle the passenger's words, this conductor felt a strong sense of recognition."

【In the game's plot, Lady Hanya looks at Following Dan Heng and Stelle and says formally: "Although Stelle and I have met once, the Ten-Lords Commission does not allow favoritism. For the process of leaving testimony at the 【Recording Hall】 and everything that follows, please be sure to listen to my orders and do not act without authorization."】

【"This is not a place for mortals of the living world to stay for long. Mr. Following Dan Heng, Stelle, follow me."】

【Following Dan Heng nods: "Please lead the way, Judge."】

【Lady Hanya nods, then turns and says: "Wait for me to start the mechanism, then everyone move forward. Be sure to watch your feet."】

【As the mechanism shakes and operates, accompanied by a sound, a path appears before their eyes.】

Livestream room.

"Good heavens, this Shackling Prison is really full of mechanisms everywhere. If there is no one to lead the way, outsiders would probably really only be able to stare."

"No kidding. Such a grim prison can only be broken from the inside."

"The Shackling Prison is really full of mechanisms."

"Only in this way can those prisoners locked inside be unable to escape."

"Let's mourn for these prisoners locked in the Shackling Prison for a second."

"Forget it. Given the situation of the Xianzhou, those who are locked in the Shackling Prison are basically heinous existences."

"There are exceptions, right?"

"For example?"

"For example, Following Dan Heng."

"Holy crap, your words make me not know how to answer for a moment."

【In the game's plot, after the mechanism is activated, Lady Hanya warns Stelle and Following Dan Heng again: "On this journey, everyone must pay attention to where you step."】

【"The terrain in the Shackling Prison is dangerous and strange. If you are not careful, you will fall into the depths. If you are unlucky, I'm afraid that before the rescue arrives, you will be frozen into the deep ice, or burned into ashes by the scorching flames."】

【Stelle listens to Lady Hanya's words and looks at the bottomless space below, feeling a bit creepy.】

【Lady Hanya looks at Following Dan Heng and Stelle, changes the subject, and says: "But with the skills of the two of you, I don't think you need to worry."】

【Stelle asks with lingering fear: "There won't be eighteen levels here, right?"】

【Lady Hanya says calmly: "You are joking. The Shackling Prison is full of mountains and rivers, layered on top of each other. We even invited Vidyadhara dragon-vein craftsmen to use the ingenuity of the cave-heaven technique. What the two of you see with your naked eyes is only a part of the Shackling Prison."】

【Hearing this, Stelle asks Following Dan Heng curiously: "Really, Following Dan Heng?"】

【Following Dan Heng nods: "Maybe. From the appearance, many buildings in this Shackling Prison have Vidyadhara standards... Maybe in the early days, the Vidyadhara indeed participated in the construction of this place."】

【Lady Hanya says in a calm tone: "If you ask how many levels there are here? Let the two of you laugh, even as a Judge, I don't know."】

【"However, it is rumored among the Judges that a short-lived prisoner tried to escape but accidentally fell down... When we found him, he was already an old man..."】

【"Thinking about it this way, did he spend his life falling, or was he left to be drained of his essence by some long-lived species to become old? This is unknown. In short, the two of you should not try it easily."】

Livestream room.

"Holy crap! This Shackling Prison is really an eye-opener."

"But speaking of the Vidyadhara participating in the construction of the Shackling Prison, I am not surprised. The architectural style here is somewhat similar to the Vidyadhara Dragon Palace in Scalegorge Waterscape."

"Indeed, the architectural style is somewhat similar."

"But Miss Lady Hanya's words make me feel creepy."

"The Shackling Prison is indeed worthy of being the most heavily guarded prison on the Xianzhou."

"Judging from the encounter of the short-lived prisoner in Miss Lady Hanya's words, I am afraid that every level of the Shackling Prison's architecture has used cave-heaven space technology, otherwise that short-lived prisoner would not have become that way."

"No kidding. I finally understand what Miss Lady Hanya meant by layered on top of each other."

"This is layers of space stacked together. If you accidentally fall in, tsk tsk tsk, I guess even the people inside the Shackling Prison would have to spend some effort to find you."

"Being able to apply space folding technology to this extent, the Xianzhou is really amazing."

"No kidding. The residents inside the Xianzhou all live in cave-heaven worlds."

"The Xianzhou's cave-heaven technology and space means are really applied to every aspect."

"But the second possibility in Lady Hanya's words cannot be ruled out."

"That's right. Who knows how many strange existences are locked in this Shackling Prison? Even everything the Trailblazer sees now is just the tip of the iceberg. How big this Shackling Prison is, I guess it's really unimaginable." ===== CHAPTER 709 =====
