Chapter 638: Balance (End)

Professor Zhao Zhao Zhihong was explaining the knowledge related to the companion star to Li Li Banfeng. During this period, he blew more than a dozen balloons, and the shape of each balloon was different.

His obsession with balloons made Li Li Banfeng somewhat difficult to understand, but he was indeed a person with real talent and learning.

But when mentioning some concepts, this professor would be somewhat evasive. Li Li Banfeng asked: "What kind of communication has taken place between the companion star's planets and Earth?"

Zhao Zhao Zhihong's eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly: "This has already exceeded my research scope..."

Judging from his expression, Zhao Zhao Zhihong had studied such questions, but he just didn't want to tell Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng simply asked more directly: "Do you know about Like Puluozhou?"

Zhao Zhao Zhihong was startled and asked: "Who are you?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I am a student from the School of Science."

"Do you have a student ID?"

Li Li Banfeng took out his student ID. His student ID had never been handed in; he just let Niangzi use some means to change the name to Li Qi.

But Niangzi forgot to change the student number.

Zhao Zhao Zhihong took a close look: "Your grade is wrong! You graduated long ago!"

Li Li Banfeng signaled Zhao Zhao Zhihong to calm down, and he showed his work ID from the Dark Star Bureau to Zhao Zhao Zhihong.

Zhao Zhao Zhihong was even less calm now: "Let me tell you, I, I, I am doing serious research, I, I, I am different from Yu Yu Yaoming and the others..."

Li Li Banfeng pressed his palm down, signaling Zhao Zhao Zhihong to calm down: "We have communicated for so long, you should be able to see that I am a good person. I am not here to harm you; I am here to learn knowledge from you."

Zhao Zhao Zhihong didn't believe Li Li Banfeng: "I can't see what you look like at all. You have your hat brim pressed so low."

"But I am wearing a suit! I am dressed very formally! A person who is dressed very formally must be an upright person!"

Li Li Banfeng spent five minutes explaining to Zhao Zhao Zhihong the relationship between formal wear, formality, and uprightness.

Professor Zhao blew a balloon and calmed down a bit.

He thought what Li Li Banfeng said made a lot of sense; this was indeed an upright person.

"I know some rumors about Like Puluozhou, but..." Professor Zhao looked around; he didn't dare to say much.

Although there was no one else in this office for the time being, this was not his private office. There could be others coming in and out at any time.

And Professor Zhao Zhao Zhihong had always suspected that there were monitoring and listening devices in his office. This was confirmed by the projector.

"Director Seven, they have become my friends."

The projector controlled the monitoring and listening devices, and at the same time created a set of audiovisual illusions, so that people entering the office could not see the professor and Li Li Banfeng, nor could they hear the voices of the two.

Of course, this was the last defense. Li Li Banfeng still hoped that it would be best if no one entered the office.

Meng De transformed into a monthly calendar and hung on the door. If anyone wanted to enter the office, they would feel that they were seriously condemned morally.

The music box guarded the door. If she encountered someone who was not afraid of condemnation and insisted on breaking in, she would make the other party feel sleepy, thereby giving up the idea of entering the office and finding a place to sleep as soon as possible.

If she encountered someone who wanted to sleep in the office, Meng De would use dreams to make them sleepwalk to other places to sleep after they fell asleep.

Everything was ready, and Professor Zhao finally agreed to speak.

He held the balloon and first stated his attitude: "We scientific researchers don't love money."

"Wait a moment!" Li Li Banfeng left the office, returned to the Leaving Suishenju, took 100,000 in cash, put it in his schoolbag, and gave it to Professor Zhao.

Is so much money worth it?

The following exchange made Li Li Banfeng recognize the value of this 100,000.

This professor had never been to Like Puluozhou, but in a sense, he knew more about Like Puluozhou than Li Li Banfeng.

"Actually, the subordinate planets of the companion star had communication with Earth many years ago. Because the era is too distant, many evidences are relatively scattered, and I cannot determine the specific time.

The communication method between the companion star's planets and Earth used wormholes, and the environment inside some wormholes met the conditions for life to survive."

Li Li Banfeng listened very carefully: "Can you explain this part in more detail?"

Zhao Zhao Zhihong blew a long balloon: "The life forms on the companion star's planets have an advanced civilization. They can control the wormhole to extend in a certain direction, just like this long balloon, blowing bigger and longer, extending from their planet all the way to Earth.

What technology they used to control the wormhole, I don't know. By comparison, Yu Yu Yaoming's research in this area is much deeper."

Li Li Banfeng had doubts about this: "If the companion star's planets you mentioned are the Inner Provinces, as far as I know, their civilization has always remained in the steam age. How could a steam-age civilization control a wormhole?"

Professor Zhao held the balloon and said to Li Li Banfeng with a serious expression: "Your cognition of civilization has problems. You treat steam civilization as a backward civilization."

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "What's the problem with this? Compared to electrical civilization, steam civilization is a backward civilization."

Zhao Zhao Zhihong shook his head: "This is a typical cognitive fallacy. The category of civilization and the advancement of civilization are two concepts. Earth chose electrical civilization because electrical civilization is more suitable for Earth's environment.

And in the companion star system, their environment may be more suitable for the development of steam civilization, so they have utilized steam civilization to the extreme."

The Inner Provinces have indeed utilized steam civilization to the extreme. Li Li Banfeng agreed deeply with this point. As for who is more advanced between steam civilization and electrical civilization, it was difficult for Li Li Banfeng to reverse his cognition for a while, but this did not affect the communication between the two sides.

Zhao Zhao Zhihong continued: "When the companion star civilization opened the channel to Earth, Earth's civilization should still be in the starting stage. If the companion star's life could successfully walk out of the wormhole, it would cause a devastating blow to Earth's civilization, because at that time, the two civilizations were not in the same dimension at all.

But perhaps due to technical limitations at the time, or because the properties of the wormhole changed, the exit originally set for one-way ejection became one-way accretion.

Do you understand the concepts of accretion and ejection?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head; he didn't quite understand.

Zhao Zhao Zhihong picked up the balloon again: "Take this long balloon as an example. There is a hole in the balloon. Theoretically, the gas inside should be ejected, but because of some reason, the properties of the balloon changed, causing it not to eject gas, but instead to keep sucking in gas.

This channel connecting Earth and the companion star's planets keeps sucking matter from Earth. This is not my nonsense; this is the research result of many scientists, and many historians have also contributed to this.

In many ancient documents, there are records about the Great Whirlpool. In our documents, there are records about the turbulence. In folk legends, there are records about the Dragon Gate.

In the Western Homeric epics, there are records about the monster Charybdis. In the Kingdom of Norway, there are records about the Maelstrom.

These whirlpools recorded in the documents have many identical or similar descriptions. In fact, they recorded the wormhole exits at that time. Of course, calling them exits is because the companion star people originally regarded them as exits, while the actual situation was that these exits became entrances that only allowed entry and no exit."

Li Li Banfeng heard some problems: "Professor Zhao, how do you know the thoughts of the companion star people? Is this inferred by you?"

Zhao Zhao Zhihong shook his head: "This is not an inference. The companion star people once had deep contact with Earth people. We call it the honeymoon period.

The companion star people once lived peacefully on Earth for a period of time. They left behind many documents, but most of these documents were scattered, and a small part of the documents are also under strict control."

"When was the honeymoon period?"

Professor Zhao said: "It is also very complicated to trace the specific era. It should be before the first steam revolution. And in this stage, after a long period of accretion, the inside of the wormhole has accumulated many life forms from Earth.

These life forms merged with the original life forms in the wormhole, forming a unique civilization, which is the wormhole civilization."

Li Li Banfeng understood: "You can directly say Like Puluozhou civilization."

Professor Zhao shook his head again: "That's not accurate."

Li Li Banfeng had received higher education, and he also had biological common sense: "Are there original life forms in the wormhole? Can the wormhole evolve life in thousands of years? This time is too short, right?"

Professor Zhao shook his head: "Your thinking has always stayed on Earth. The evolution speed of life on Earth depends on Earth's environment, while the environment in the wormhole is much more extreme, and the evolution speed of life is also much faster.

I have come into contact with some Like Puluozhou people through some special channels. Under the influence of the wormhole environment, their temperament has become very extreme, and their body tissues have also appeared with different degrees of mutation."

Li Li Banfeng had the right to speak about this matter.

He was very familiar with Like Puluozhou people, and he never felt that Like Puluozhou people had anything extreme.

"What do you mean by extreme?"

"You are from the Dark Star Bureau, so you must know something about them."

Li Li Banfeng smiled: "I really don't know."

Zhao Zhao Zhihong explained: "If they like food, they will eat crazily. If they like traveling, they will walk crazily. If they want to drink, they will ingest alcohol far exceeding the body's bearing capacity.

This kind of crazy behavior will bring them some abilities that violate the rules of macroscopic physics. This is the paranoia caused by the special environment."

Li Banfeng's cheeks twitched, and he asked back: "People who like balloons and can't let go of balloons, does this count as paranoia?"

Zhao Zhao Zhihong held the balloon and said very seriously: "Balloons are different. Balloons can bring people happiness. People who like balloons are people who love life. How can loving life be considered paranoia?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at the documents provided by Zhao Zhao Zhihong. His theory indeed had a large amount of empirical support. Traces of wormhole exits had been found all over the world.

Wait, all over the world!

Li Li Banfeng looked at Zhao Zhao Zhihong: "From the companion star's planets to Earth, how many wormholes are there?"

"There is only one wormhole, but there are many exits."

"What's the logic behind this?"

Zhao Zhao Zhihong picked up an octopus balloon.

Seeing him blow the balloon, Li Li Banfeng was speechless.

The octopus balloon was blown up. Zhao Zhao Zhihong pinched the octopus head and said: "This is the wormhole."

He pinched the octopus legs again: "These are the exits."

Li Li Banfeng understood what he meant: "There is more than one exit."

"There is also more than one civilization," Professor Zhao pinched the octopus legs one by one, "The properties of each exit are different. With the passage of time, different changes have occurred.

Some exits still only allow entry and no exit. The situation here cannot be investigated. According to the data left by the companion star people, the people here have been completely enslaved by the companion star people and have become low-level life forms under the companion star people.

Some exits allow a small amount of matter to leave the wormhole. If there is entry and exit, Earth people will take the initiative to go to the wormhole. Through years of infiltration, Earth people have reached a certain degree of balance with the companion star people, and they jointly manage the local wormhole people."

Li Li Banfeng said: "That is, joint enslavement."

Professor Zhao thought for a while: "You can also say that. Like the Sleeping Land in the Lavsha Kingdom, it is a typical example."

Speaking of this, Professor Zhao squeezed an octopus leg hard: "There is an exit that is extremely special. This exit has undergone deep changes.

It no longer actively accretes, and under certain conditions, it allows a large amount of matter to leave the wormhole. In other words, this is a real exit that can be entered and exited. This exit is the Three-Headed Fork, and this octopus leg is Like Puluozhou.

Theoretically, this octopus leg is an excellent path for companion star people to go to Earth, but this path has been blocked, because the wormhole people in this octopus leg refuse the enslavement of the Inner Provinces. They have resisted again and again and created their own unique civilization. This is the Like Puluozhou civilization you mentioned."

Li Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and began to slowly organize his thoughts.

Professor Zhao said: "I can copy a copy of the data for you. I can only say so much."

"Don't rush, there is also the matter of the honeymoon period."

Professor Zhao waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't ask me about the honeymoon period. You shouldn't have asked me about these things in the first place! You are from the Dark Star Bureau. You should know more than I do.

Are you deliberately looking for me to fish for information? I am really not in the same group as Yu Yu Yaoming and the others, and I have never killed anyone, and I have never broken the law..."

The effect of the Foolish Cultivation Technique was a bit worn off.

Li Li Banfeng persuaded: "I am just doing academic research with you. Everything we just studied is academic content. No one else knows about the things between us. Give me a copy of the data, and today's discussion will end here."

Li Li Banfeng was sitting in the office of the Dark Star Bureau, checking the case records.

Some of Zhao Zhao Zhihong's media accounts had indeed been dealt with.

His academic achievements seemed a bit absurd, but there were many marketing accounts more absurd than him. Why were his accounts always focused on?

It turned out that the Dark Star Bureau had noticed Zhao Zhao Zhihong a long time ago, and there were many records about him here.

Chen Chen Zhangrui knocked on the door and entered the office: "Li Ju, I finally found you. The phone from above has been ringing like crazy. Now the superiors want to prevent the Demon Lord from provoking war through communication and negotiation with the Inner Provinces..."

Li Li Banfeng interrupted Chen Chen Zhangrui: "Speak slowly, I don't understand. Why can communication with the Inner Provinces prevent the war provoked by the Demon Lord? Aren't the Inner Provinces and the Demon Lord the same thing?"

Chen Chen Zhangrui pursed his lips and said: "In principle, it's really not the same thing."

Li Li Banfeng invited Chen Chen Zhangrui to sit down and asked patiently: "Then tell me the difference."

"They belong to different factions and organizations, which means they have different..."

Chen Chen Zhangrui was evasive and explained very hard.

Li Li Banfeng helped him: "Just tell me, are they on the same planet?"

Having said it so clearly, Chen Chen Zhangrui didn't know how to cover it up, so he simply stopped talking.

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Sometimes I really don't understand why these things have to be hidden from me, just because I am a Like Puluozhou person?"

Chen Chen Zhangrui looked around, and Li Li Banfeng said: "No need to worry, I have turned off all monitoring equipment."

Chen Chen Zhangrui confirmed it with the Kui Xiu technique. Indeed, no Kui Xiu equipment was running.

He lowered his voice and said: "Actually, I know that you are not a Like Puluozhou person at all. You are Li Li Banfeng, Li Li Banfeng who graduated from Yuezhou University."

Li Li Banfeng did not deny it: "And then? Since I am an Outer Province person, and I am still the person in charge of the Dark Star Bureau, why do some things still have to be hidden from me?"

"This is because there are some things I don't know, and Director Shen doesn't know either. No one knows the complete situation. This is the rule that the Dark Star Bureau has adhered to for many years."

"I think this rule should be changed," Li Li Banfeng handed Old Chen a cigarette, "Tell me what you know first, otherwise I have no way to help mediate."

Chen Chen Zhangrui took a deep puff: "I have been doing this since I graduated from university. University students in that era were still rare.

I have worked in the Star Research Institute, the Border Defense Hall, and the Dark Star Bureau for many years. I do know more than others.

You asked about the planet just now, so you must have known some things. The Dark Star is actually the sun's companion star. You should know this."

Li Li Banfeng nodded.

Chen Chen Zhangrui continued: "Under the Dark Star, there are a total of 11 planets. There are 5 terrestrial planets, which are similar to Earth and mainly composed of rocks. There are also 6 gas giant planets, which are similar to Jupiter and mainly composed of gases.

These 11 planets all have life. What we refer to as the Inner Provinces is the Great Shang Kingdom living on the third planet."

"Great Shang Kingdom?" Li Li Banfeng was very shocked, "This and the Great Shang Dynasty in our history..."

"They have a thousand threads of connection. I can't explain these things clearly, but on the third planet, it's not just the Great Shang Kingdom. There are also the Demon Lord Kingdom, the White Falcon Alliance, and dozens of other forces of various sizes that are equal in strength to the Great Shang Dynasty.

The Great Shang Dynasty was once the strongest force on the third planet, but now because of its internal strife and continuous fighting with Like Puluozhou, its power has declined, allowing other forces to gradually take the initiative.

If we can reach an agreement on goals with the Inner Provinces, that is, with the Great Shang Dynasty, we can prevent this war through the balance of interests between each other."

Li Li Banfeng understood: "To put it so roundly, it's just wanting the Great Shang Dynasty to take action to contain the Demon Lord, so that the Demon Lord won't attack the Outer Provinces."

Chen Chen Zhangrui nodded: "This is also good for Like Puluozhou. If the Demon Lord breaks through the Three-Headed Fork, it will also cause a devastating blow to Like Puluozhou. This is a good thing for all three parties, so..."

Li Li Banfeng put down the case file and stared at Chen Chen Zhangrui for a long time: "I am asking you sincerely, and you answer sincerely. Since it is a good thing for all three parties, why don't you negotiate directly with the Inner Provinces?"

"This is because the Inner Provinces have never..."

"Don't tell me about any traditions, just tell me the reason." Li Li Banfeng's tone was very easygoing, but Chen Chen Zhangrui could perceive that if he didn't tell the truth, or continued to circle around with Li Li Banfeng, the consequences could be quite serious.

"This is related to a piece of history."

"Are you referring to the honeymoon period between Earth and the companion star people?"

Chen Chen Zhangrui recalled this piece of history he had mastered. Some things were very scattered, and he needed some time to string the memories together: "To be precise, that was not the honeymoon period between the companion star people and Earth; it was the honeymoon period between the Great Shang Empire and Earth.

The Great Shang Empire established a channel to Earth, but for some reason, the channel did not have the desired effect.

Based on this, the Great Shang Empire changed its strategy. They decided to cooperate with Earth people to improve the overall strength of Earth people, so as to achieve balance to a certain extent."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Say it more bluntly."

Chen Chen Zhangrui was very contradictory. To say it more bluntly, the words spoken would hurt feelings: "Taking Like Puluozhou as an example, a series of plans of the Great Shang Empire at that time were resisted and destroyed by Like Puluozhou. The Great Shang Empire hoped to establish a deeper connection with Earth to jointly restrict Like Puluozhou.

But Earth was still in the starting stage at that time. With Earth's strength, there was no capital to fight against Like Puluozhou at all. So the Great Shang Empire sent envoys to Earth through various channels to help Earth develop steam civilization.

Earth's civilization did get good development, and when it developed to a certain extent, it did have the ability to intervene in the affairs of Like Puluozhou, the Sleeping Land, and Inner Outer Amikan.

But Earth people gradually discovered that many practices of the Great Shang Empire were contrary to the interests of Earth people. But every time Earth people wanted to fight for their own interests, they would be choked by technology.

When I worked at the Star Research Institute, the management of data was not so strict. I read some historical materials. According to the records above, even if it was just a trivial conflict, the consequences could be the industrial shutdown of a region, or even a country.

In addition to being held by the industrial lifeline, the Great Shang Empire also infiltrated their life forms into the Outer Provinces through similar means. Many factory workshops were life forms from the Inner Provinces."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "For example, the centipede workshop of Rui Rong Textile Factory."

Chen Chen Zhangrui nodded: "Rui Rong Textile Factory is a typical example. We harvested advanced technology from the Inner Provinces, but this advanced technology itself is a life form that can reproduce.

It not only reproduced in the textile factory but also opened a wormhole exit to the wormhole in the textile factory. Such examples were countless at that time.

To deal with this situation, Earth people adopted a set of strategies to temporarily balance the relationship between the two sides."

"How to balance?" Li Li Banfeng was very curious about the means.

"Earth and the Demon Lord carried out a series of cooperation. The specific content is unknown, but this cooperation seriously weakened the strength of the Great Shang Empire, which made the Great Shang Empire lose control in many exits to Earth, such as the Sleeping Land.

The Great Shang Empire believed that this was a shameless and unforgivable act of betrayal. Since then, they refused to communicate with Earth people in any form.

They interrupted technical assistance to Earth. Earth obtained some assistance from the Demon Lord. In subsequent cooperation, the same problem as the Great Shang Empire appeared on the Demon Lord. Once there was a conflict of interest, the Demon Lord would use technology to threaten Earth's safety.

Fortunately, the second technical revolution came soon. Earth people began to turn toward electrical civilization and gradually got rid of the technical shackles from the third planet. The interests of all parties reached a new balance."

"This is the so-called balance?" Li Li Banfeng smiled, "It's nothing more than stabbing in the back. The means are easy to use, but it sounds really cold."

This sentence made Chen Chen Zhangrui a little angry: "When I was as young as you, I also felt that doing so was not glorious, but Earth civilization and companion star civilization are too different. To this day, the strength between each other is still very disparate.

I just found out from Gao Gao Yina that the magnetic storm weapon that appeared this time is very powerful. This is not the combat example of electromagnetic interference you saw in military magazines.

This set of weapons is so powerful that it can make all electrical components fail. According to the soldiers on the warship, the lights didn't even turn on at that time, and even a loudspeaker couldn't be heard.

And all the defense facilities of the enemy's sea base were driven by steam, and all steam equipment could operate normally. You can imagine how difficult this battle was.

This is the technology the Demon Lord taught them. They don't want to develop toward electrical civilization themselves, which doesn't mean they can't do it. Facing such an opponent, is it a bit unrealistic to want to confront them head-on?"

Li Li Banfeng said with a serious expression: "But someone has confronted them."

"Who?" Chen Chen Zhangrui was startled, "Are you talking about Like Puluozhou people? They..."

"Aren't they Earth people?"

Chen Chen Zhangrui sighed lightly: "Their situation is more special..."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Balancing back and forth, tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, is doing this really right?"

Chen Chen Zhangrui thought for a moment and said: "I think it's right, because we need time, we need more time to improve our technical capabilities!"

"I think what you said makes sense," Li Li Banfeng picked up the case file, "This professor has achieved many research results in the companion star field. Why restrict him?"

Chen Chen Zhangrui recognized Zhao Zhao Zhihong: "Some of his research touched on confidential matters."

"Then let him study confidential matters!"

"Some things are not that simple..."

"Let professional people do professional things. Isn't this the key to improving technical capabilities?"

Chen Chen Zhangrui didn't speak again.

Li Li Banfeng stood up, put on his suit, and put on his hat.

"Li Ju, about the communication with the Inner Provinces..."

Li Li Banfeng nodded and agreed: "Book me a train ticket, I'll leave tomorrow."

"I'll arrange a special train for you!"

"No need, no special train," Li Li Banfeng waved his hand, "Just a train ticket, and I want a single cabin."

Chen Chen Zhangrui said: "I'll go and say hello to the Border Defense Hall and let them do a good job of coordination."

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "No need for them to coordinate. We'll talk when there is progress."

Chen Chen Zhangrui felt that the situation was not quite right. He asked: "What else do I need to do?"

Li Li Banfeng turned his head, lifted the brim of his hat, and looked at Chen Chen Zhangrui: "I know that in this world, the word sincerity has always been very luxurious.

But I hope that in treating the comrades of the Dark Star Bureau, you can retain a little sincerity in the future.

You are a man with guts. Some things have to be done with twists and turns, which is also your last resort.

But good things are good things, and bad things are bad things. There is nothing to be pretentious about. Circling for a while is fine, don't circle yourself in for a lifetime."

Li Li Banfeng turned to leave.

Chen Chen Zhangrui chased after him and asked: "Li Ju, are you coming back?"

"Yes," Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly, "Keep the office for me, and keep the residence for me. Tell the new director to have a correct attitude and report work to me regularly. Don't wait for me to come back and look for him."

After leaving the Dark Star Bureau, Li Li Banfeng went to the hospital.

Zhong Er's family members were asking about his condition, and Song Song Qianhun was answering with a serious face.

"Qin Qin Minghui's condition cannot be summarized simply in one or two sentences. I am not a person who craves fame, and I cannot make more promises for the time being..."

Seeing Li Li Banfeng, Song Song Qianhun was also a little embarrassed. He spoke in a decent way, but he didn't understand medical skills at all.

Li Li Banfeng came to Zhong Er's bedside and whispered: "Li Ju, all ten of his fingers can move."

"Really?" Li Li Banfeng leaned into Zhong Er's ear and whispered, "When your injuries are healed, I'll take you to Like Puluozhou!"

Zhong Er's right hand clenched into a fist, and Li Li Banfeng smiled.

He took out a bank card and stuffed it to Mizhan: "You've worked hard. Buy him something good to eat, and reward yourself."

"Not bitter, not bitter at all." Mizhan held Zhong Er's hand and rubbed it hard for a long time.

That evening, Li Li Banfeng went to the Cultural Palace to watch a movie, and by the way, walked around the black market and bought some souvenirs.

Yin Yin Siniang hid when she saw Li Li Banfeng. Since meeting him, Yin Yin Siniang had fallen into danger several times, and her little sister Jin Jin Shunying had also lost contact.

Li Li Banfeng urged Tang Tang Changfa to give Yin Yin Siniang more care. This person did things well, and her connections were quite wide.

There was also a group of ghost servants at the residence, all of whom had done a lot of things for Li Li Banfeng. Li Li Banfeng handed them all over to Tang Tang Changfa, letting him have a few more helpers by his side: "Don't take it to heart whether the business loses or earns money. If you lack money, tell me. If you feel the wind is not right, hurry back to Like Puluozhou and find me. Even if it's a huge business, it's not worth your risk. Do you understand?"

Tang Tang Changfa nodded: "Shopkeeper, don't worry."

Yan Yan Cuier's eyes were red: "Shopkeeper, you are going back. How long have you stayed here?"

Yan Hong'er glared at Yan Yan Cuier: "What are you crying for? It's not like the shopkeeper isn't coming back."

Just as Li Li Banfeng was about to leave the black market, the black market boss Lin Lin Fujiao was waiting in the next room.

He made a pot of tea and asked Li Li Banfeng: "Brother Seven, have a cup of tea?"

Li Li Banfeng sat opposite, and the two clinked cups.

Lin Lin Fujiao said: "After drinking this cup of tea, we are friends."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "We are friends."

"Good." Lin Lin Fujiao lowered his head and closed his eyes.

He fell asleep.

What a sincere person. He said one cup of tea, and it was just one cup of tea. There was nothing else.

Early the next morning, Li Li Banfeng went to the train station. Chen Chen Zhangrui went to the station to see him off but couldn't find Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng used his residential cultivation talent to hide. Seeing people off was the thing he hated most.

The train arrived at the Three-Headed Fork. Tens of thousands of people had been taken away by him before and after, but passing by the station, there were still many people begging.

This time Li Li Banfeng was prepared. He took out a lot of food from the Leaving Suishenju and kept throwing it out of the window.

The train conductor was very angry, but Li Li Banfeng just didn't follow the suggestion not to open the window and didn't violate other regulations. The conductor couldn't do anything about him and could only watch coldly at the door.

The situation at the Three-Headed Fork was very complicated. Li Li Banfeng had only been to Elbow Mountain once, and he knew too little about this place. There was still a long way to go to save all these people.

He had to find an opportunity to stay in the Three-Headed Fork for a few days and thoroughly figure out the situation there.

The train left the Three-Headed Fork station. Not long after it started, someone knocked on the door: "Sir, your luggage."

"What luggage?" Li Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment. He hadn't asked anyone to transport luggage.

This voice sounded quite familiar.

Opening the carriage door, a man wearing a white shirt, a plaid vest, and a forward cap, dragging a large suitcase, entered the carriage.

He knew this person, but what was this act?

Li Li Banfeng lowered his voice and said: "Dengpao, what are you doing?"

Dengpao took off his forward cap, tidied his hair, and smiled: "It's me, Brother Seven."

"I already called you Dengpao, don't I know it's you?" Li Li Banfeng said angrily, "I'm asking you what you came here for?"

"We are following you from now on, going to Like Puluozhou to venture with you!"

"You?" Li Li Banfeng looked at the suitcase.

Dengpao opened the suitcase, and Tang Yuan crawled out from inside. She also tidied her hair: "Brother Seven, it's me!"

"You too..."

"I'm following you too, Brother Seven!" Tang Yuan's eyes were red with excitement.

Before Li Li Banfeng could speak, the conductor heard the movement and pushed the door in: "Do you have tickets?"

Li Li Banfeng looked at Dengpao and Tang Yuan: "Do you two have tickets?"

Dengpao shook his head: "We didn't plan to come back after following you."

Tang Yuan puffed out her chest and said: "We don't have tickets!"

Li Li Banfeng explained to the conductor: "We are from the Dark Star Bureau. We are on official business to Like Puluozhou. They two came in a hurry, so they didn't buy tickets..."

Bang!

Tang Yuan and Dengpao were poked off the train by several conductors together.

Dengpao slid all the way without any major problems.

Tang Yuan tore her clothes, and her skin was also torn.

Plop!

Li Li Banfeng had a fight with several conductors, didn't win, and jumped off the train, holding a pole he snatched from the conductor's hand.

Dengpao asked: "Brother Seven, what are you doing with this?"

Li Li Banfeng smiled at the two: "You two run together. The one who runs slow will be beaten to death on the spot."

"Brother Seven, listen to me..." Tang Yuan was very sincere.

"Brother Seven, watch me run!" Dengpao ran away.

Volume Two, Dark Star Mystery, End!
