After obtaining information about the culprit heliobus, the group headed straight for their destination — Aurum Alley.
Leon had originally planned to follow along, but Himeko suddenly contacted him with urgent matters that required him to return to the Express to handle some affairs.
Stelle casually asked what the matter was.
Leon answered: Train insurance, which can fully guarantee that after damaging anything, the Company will be responsible for paying compensation.
Also, personal insurance for all Nameless Guests on the train.
Stelle naturally wouldn't laugh at this.
The players were different and began guessing whether in the future they would have to "if something happens, go talk to my insurance."
As a result, Stelle could only take the special bonus item Leon had given her and head out with three sisters from different professions on the Luofu to arrest the troublemaking heliobus.
Although the process had twists and turns, it was still fairly smooth.
The heliobus A Zhuo possessing Bailu was successfully captured. Bailu's mental state also returned to normal.
The ghost-catching team had a successful opening.
Unfortunately, there were no new clues in the following few days, and the group chat was quiet.
[Ghost-Catching Team]
[Guinaifen: Cough cough cough, no new intelligence to sync today.]
[Guinaifen: It really feels so quiet. No one is popping up in the group either.]
[Sushang: Maybe everyone in the group is busy with their own things.]
[Guinaifen: Sigh, busy, everyone's busy. Being busy is good. /Pom-Pom Crying.jpg]
[Sushang: Little Guizi——]
[Sushang: @Stelle @Huohuo @Everyone hurry up and come care for the empty-nest Little Guizi.]
[Huohuo: W-What's going on here?]
[Stelle: These two are singing a duet. They have nothing to do and are just looking for people to chat with in the group.]
[Huohuo: /I See.jpg.]
[Guinaifen: Eh wait wait, there's work everyone, assemble assemble!]
Stelle had originally been lying in a small garden, enjoying the breeze and sun, while commenting on the selfies March 7th sent of herself listening to books at Central Starskiff Haven.
Upon seeing Guinaifen's message, she instantly sat up and rushed straight to Fyxestroll Garden.
...
Ghost-Catching Team assembly point.
"The ghost-catching team is going to pull itself together and start working again! Yay!" Guinaifen was full of energy.
Sushang was listless and followed with a gesture: "Yay..."
"…Eh?" Huohuo cutely tilted her head.
Stelle didn't want to comment on this and simply started repeating Huohuo's reaction.
Guinaifen was speechless: "Sushang, why do your eyes look as tired as those workhorses… I mean… stewards from the Artisanship Commission?"
Sushang yawned: "I'm so sleepy. What kind of miracle pill did you take to be this energetic?"
Guinaifen: "Seeing the follower count skyrocketing makes me so excited I can't sleep. It works better than any strong tea or coffee."
"You do this for a living. I can't."
Sushang drooped her head.
"As soon as I close my eyes, I dream about endlessly dealing with Lady Bailu over and over and over again… It's more tiring than actually going into battle."
"Uh..." Guinaifen's expression froze.
When they went to catch A Zhuo earlier, Bailu's escape speed was comparable to a civilian starskiff. It almost tired them to death.
Luckily Stelle had taken out an incense burner-like item. After smelling the fragrance, everyone felt light as a swallow and their speed skyrocketed.
Otherwise, they might have been so tired their whole bodies went soft and still couldn't catch up to Bailu.
"Indeed… I didn't feel this tired even after performing acrobatics for two straight hours. The problem is——"
Guinaifen mercilessly exposed Sushang and teased: "Didn't you sleep the entire day, Sushang?"
Since she had been conscripted by the Ten Lords Commission, Sushang didn't need to report to the Cloud Knights now.
As long as the ghost-catching team wasn't working, she was on rest every day.
Sleeping all day and still tired?
"As long as I sleep through the entire day, it's perfectly reasonable… I've got it——"
At this point, Sushang had a flash of inspiration and raised her little finger beside her ear.
"How about this? You can just treat me as possessed by the sleep demon. Suppress me on the bed and let me sleep for another thirty to fifty hours. Consider it handing in the assignment to the Ten Lords Commission. How about it?"
Stelle couldn't help but laugh: "Aiya ya, looks like Pillow Li has triggered her passive."
"What passive?" Sushang asked in a daze.
"Nothing. Don't mind the details."
Guinaifen slapped her forehead: "You look like you've been possessed by that famous card player from the Divination Commission."
Sushang: "Divination Commission? Isn't the Divination Commission for fortune-telling?"
"Don't say that. Today's job is actually related to the Divination Commission!" Guinaifen swiped open her phone and synced the information to the group.
Poster: Plays Cards for Life
Seeing this ID, Stelle's expression became strange.
Wasn't this Qingque?
Stelle continued reading the post content.
#Real Ghost Encounter Record# The coordinates of the department cannot be disclosed, but a very strange thing has happened.
Today when I came to work, I found everyone was acting strangely. Their faces looked haggard with dark auras between their brows. Their gazes were vacant, eyes glazed over, and their movements were slow.
I curiously asked what was wrong with everyone, but no one spoke...
The entire Divination Commission feels ghostly and eerie. It scared me so much I didn't even have the mood to play cards.
What's even weirder is——
I originally wanted to sneak out while no one was paying attention, but I ran into the Master Diviner. She actually didn't ask about my attendance and let me be late as usual...
I dare say that something must have happened in the undisclosed department!!
Seeing this, Stelle really wanted to reply and roast it.
You already clearly said it's the Divination Commission, so why are you still saying "undisclosed department"?
Scrolling down the post, there were indeed related roasts already.
After reading it, Huohuo fell into thought.
"The description in this message is really strange. It seems to fit the situation of a heliobus possessing and causing trouble."
"If even a key department like the Divination Commission has been taken over by a heliobus, that would be troublesome."
Sushang: "It feels like we should contact Miss Qingque first and remind her to run away quickly."
Stelle: "I'll contact her and ask for details."
[Stelle: How is the situation on your side? Don't go into the Divination Commission for work first. There might be danger there.]
[Plays Cards for Life: ?]
[Plays Cards for Life: You're overthinking it. When I saw the situation, I immediately turned left and went out to post.]
[Plays Cards for Life: So what exactly happened? Why does everyone look a bit like they're slacking off?]
[Stelle: Qingque, you must guard the door. Don't let anyone enter the Divination Commission, and don't let anyone leave either.]
[Stelle: Stay safe. We're heading over right now.]
[Plays Cards for Life: Understood. Now I've really become the sect leader.]
Stelle put away her phone.
"Everyone, let's go ask Cirrus first, then head to the Divination Commission."
Arriving at Qingqiu Terrace, Stelle enthusiastically waved at Cirrus from afar.
"Hi, old friend. I missed you, so I came to see you~~"
That tone was exactly the same as genuinely meeting an old friend after many years.
But Cirrus understood that this guy was being sarcastic toward it.
Cirrus: "(Ugh—— What a nauseating little ghost. I admit you successfully disgusted me. Just wait and see!)"
Ah Xian saw that Cirrus only dared to complain in its heart and didn't dare to express its emotions out loud, and couldn't help but laugh.
She directly asked Cirrus about the possible heliobus at the Divination Commission. Cirrus obediently answered everything.
It seemed that after experiencing Leon's methods, this thing had become extraordinarily obedient.
At the very least, on the surface, it didn't show any problems.
