Chapter 471 The death of society
After a full meal
Xingqiu touched his bulging belly and said with emotion: "It's really delicious. Inazuma's dishes are mainly fresh seafood, which suits my taste very well."
Paimon said with a smile: "Hehe, that's good. We were worried that you might lose your appetite if you didn't sleep well."
Then he reminded the travelers in a low voice to quickly use Xingqiu's words to see if he could ask for any useful information, such as talking about travel topics.
The traveler nodded, looked at Xingqiu and asked, "Xingqiu, what do you think of this journey?"
"Actually, I've never been out so far before. Although I was very excited at first, it's still quite boring after staying at sea for a long time." Xingqiu answered seriously, without any flaws.
Paimon asked: "Is there anything that impressed you along the way?"
Xingqiu said with a smile: "If I really want to talk about it, it's the novel I read on the boat."
Paimon shook his head helplessly, as if he didn't ask for any valuable information.
The traveler asked Xingqiu what book he read during the trip, and Xingqiu told the traveler that it was a novel called "My Lord of the Fox Immortal Palace", which was sent to him by his editor.
[Keqing: I seem to have read this book]
[Paimon: That is the companion chapter of "Reincarnated as a Thunder General and Then Invincible"]
[Yan Fei: It sounds like a god has fallen in love with his dependents]
[Miko Yae: This book’s sales in Inazuma are booming! 】
[Paimon: I understand, after all, the miko is the wife of the god in the story]
[Goro: Lord Coral Palace is also a miko! 】
[Keli: The witch Keli is here! Bang bang! 】
[Lisa: I understand, General Thunder and Lightning has his family on his left and his heart on his right, he is a sure winner in life]
[Ying: Hehehe, Xinhai~hehe]
[Miko Yae: Where did she get the fish? What qualifications do you have to fight with me?]
[Coral Palace Xinhai: Travelers, please don’t go crazy. As for the Eightfold Palace Secretary, I have no sexual interest in your gods]
[Yae Shenzi: You’re the best! 】
...
Paimon asked curiously: "Won't you get dizzy while reading on the boat?"
Xingqiu said that he had practiced kung fu! However, many people did get seasick on the boat.
The traveler then asked: "What about the scenery along the way?"
Xingqiu shook his head and told the truth: "To be honest, the sea looks the same every day, there is no scenery, and everyone is impatient to wait. So when we got close to Inazuma, everyone saw the top of Yingxiang Mountain in the distance. , they all ran to the deck to take a look, but unfortunately the ship was moving too slowly, and it took another whole day from seeing the top of the mountain to landing."
The unintelligent Paimon still thought there was nothing suspicious about it, but her feeding officer found those words suspicious.
Paimeng was prompted by the traveler, and his mind that had been unable to turn around suddenly became enlightened, and he suddenly realized: "Yes, if it takes a whole day to dock, by the time you see the top of the mountain, it should still be raining heavily on the sea. .”
Abedo thought it would be better to collect more evidence so that the circumstances of the incident could be clarified.
The traveler nodded and chatted with Xingqiu about his novel and Abedo's illustrations. Abedo carefully analyzed the loopholes in Xingqiu's words.
In the end, Xingqiu still exposed the chicken feet. Abedo's illustrations started printing as soon as they arrived at Inazuma. Logically speaking, Xingqiu should not know its contents, but he did know something about it, which is very suspicious.
Abedo stood up directly, walked to Xingqiu, and asked seriously: "Xingqiu, we have something very important to ask you now."
Xingqiu was stunned and didn't understand why they were so serious.
The traveler glared at Xingqiu and asked, "Xingqiu, why are you lying!"
Xingqiu stiffened, pretending to be puzzled: "Hey, where do you start talking about this?"
Paimon pouted and put his hands on his hips and said: "Xingqiu, actually boss Okazaki told me just now that the weather at sea was very bad a few days ago, so you just said that everyone would run onto the deck when they saw Kage Xiangshan. This kind of thing is It can’t happen.”
Abedo then added: "In addition, the new issue of "The Record of Shen Qiu's Lost Swords" will be on sale at the Rongcai Festival. Even though we, as the authors, did not receive a sample issue, why can you tell the details of the illustrations?"
Xingqiu helplessly held his forehead, not knowing how to explain it.
Paimeng looked determined and asked: "Paimeng said firmly: "Xingqiu, you have actually arrived at Daozhu before today, right? Are you in any danger that prevents you from telling the truth? Don't be afraid, whether it's Traveler or Albedo, they are both very powerful! "
Xingqiu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, you all misunderstood."
"Sigh... As expected, it's all because of lack of sleep these days. My brain has become dull, and I didn't realize that you have been probing. In order to deal with some things, I did come to Inazuma in advance to let me think about how to explain it. ...Oh, it’s really hard to say..."
[Ying: Hard to say? Is it what I think? 】
[Xingqiu: Traveler, what are you thinking about?]
[Ying: The second lady of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, Xing Hagi, was kidnapped and stripped naked. She looked like I felt pity for him, hehehe]
[Xingqiu: Play jokes appropriately, I am a boy! Chongyun can testify]
[Ying'er: Oh, is it possible that there is some hidden secret between you two? 】
[Shen He: Chongyun, I will talk to your mother]
[Chongyun: It’s all a misunderstanding! Xingqiu and I are just good friends, not the kind of relationship you think]
[Miko Yae: We all know that Sojiji is tired, explanation is cover-up, cover-up is fact, and fact is the beginning of sin]
[Yan Fei: Xingqiu, we in Liyue haven’t opened up to this extent yet. Although it’s not explicitly stated in the law, it’s not allowed morally]
[Mona: Brother Xingqiu does look like a girl. Have you ever seen a boy have his ears pierced? (No discrimination! Personal freedom)]
[Ying: As you said, Wendy is still wearing white silk]
[Gan Yu: The emperor still appears in the form of a woman, I can understand it]
[Wendy: This, are these clothes for keeping warm? 】
[Ying: According to my inference, they are still 80D thick stockings]
[Kaia: What new skill is this? 】
[Ying: Identify people by looking at their stockings! 】
....
Just then Wendy the Bard walked in.
Paimon was stunned and asked curiously: "Hey, Wendy, why are you here?"
Wendy stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Haha, I heard that the boss here has collected many years of aged wine, so of course I have to come and taste it."
Paimon crossed his arms and complained with a cold snort: "I knew nothing serious would happen when I met you."
Wendy spread her hands and retorted: "Who said that? I actually have good news to tell you. I just met Jiu Jiao Shan Luo, and she said that Tian Ling Fong Xing had caught the person who stole "Shen Qiu Shi Sword" You don’t have to worry about the prisoners who have been recorded.”
When Xingqiu heard Wendy's words, he was stunned. What kind of criminal did he mean to steal "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picking Up Swords"? ?
Wendy looked at Xingqiu who was in a daze, scratched her head in embarrassment, and said, "Um, I didn't say something I shouldn't have said..."
Xingqiu suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously: "Is the editor Tian Ling Fenxing found an editor named Onodera?"
Wendy: "Kujo Sora didn't mention anyone's name, but I think she took people in the direction of Hanamizaka."
When Xingqiu saw this, he had no time to explain to everyone, so he took Traveler and Abedo to rescue Onodera.
...
Hanamizaka,
Kujo Sora and Tian Ling Fengxu were surrounding a man. Without thinking, Xingqiu stepped forward and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Onodera is innocent!"
Kujo Sora turned to look at Xingqiu and revealed Xingqiu's identity in one sentence: "Oh, it seems that this is the author of "The Record of Shen Qiu's Picked Swords". But I didn't expect that even other people would come to read it. "
Onodera signaled Xingqiu not to panic. He had already made his words clear to Kujo Sora, and he was no longer suspected.
Xingqiu breathed a long sigh of relief and said happily: "Huh, that's good..." Suddenly something occurred to him, he raised his head suddenly, and said with a look of horror: "No! There are so many of you here, you won't all know. Bar?"
One of the Tianling soldiers couldn't help but laugh out loud. After all, he had received professional training. No matter how funny it was, he would not laugh unless he held back. This showed that Xingqiu was really embarrassed this time.
Kujo Sora coughed dryly and said, "To be precise, in order to prevent the suspect from escaping, there were two other teams here."
Paimon looked at Xingqiu's shocked look and didn't quite understand what was going on.
Travelers think it has something to do with signatures.
Xingqiu said seriously: "Although it's a bit embarrassing to say it, since so many people know it, it doesn't matter now. In fact, in the final analysis, this matter is still my responsibility."
Onodera shook his head. In the final analysis, it was still his responsibility and took the initiative to explain the situation.
"In this Rongcai Festival, I came up with the idea of releasing a [new issue signed by the author]. Not only is this the first time I have been responsible for a large-scale project since I first entered Yae-do, it also received strong support from Yae-do."
"But regarding the content of the project, I did not discuss it with several authors before proposing it. As a result, it caused huge trouble to Teacher Zhenyu, for which I deeply apologize."
Xingqiu said helplessly: "Actually, to put it bluntly, I'm not good at calligraphy, and signature activities are not suitable for me..."
Onodera continued: "Although Teacher Matsutama was in a difficult position, after hearing that this project was very important to me, he immediately took a boat to Inazuma to help me find a way to tide over the difficulties. The teacher has been working hard these days to practice calligraphy. But it takes a long time to sign a book, and the signatures reserved before were not enough, so I thought of a way to move the new issue from the warehouse to my home first, so that the teacher can sign all the books in these days. . I thought this was done perfectly, but I didn’t expect that someone would immediately discover that the book was missing.”
[Miko Yae: That’s it, Onodera, next time you encounter this kind of problem, you must tell me as soon as possible]
[Onodera: Okay, Mr. Yasou]
[Xingqiu: Now everyone in Tiwat knows that my handwriting is ugly]
[Kaia: Don’t be afraid, at least you are much better than Xiao Keli]
[Keli: Keli also studies hard. Keli is still learning to write recently]
[Ningguang: Why not go to the Xumi Teaching Academy for further training? They should be able to help you]
[Xingqiu: It seems that the Jiaolingyuan does not have this type of faction]
[Elhaysen: That’s not necessarily true. On the surface, there are six major schools in Xumi, but in fact there are seven.]
[Ying: Xumi has opened a new school of thought? Paimon? 】
[Paimeng: That is the school of Prince Xumi and the fugitive princess Ina Wife. I don’t know exactly what he is studying]
[Nasida: Hatao said he wanted to study something, so I allocated some funds for him to study]
[Yae Shenzi: I envy this kind of treatment. Is this the love of a stepmother? When will you be able to pamper me like the grass god pampers Cannon? 】
[Shadow: I’ll treat you to a knife from Wu Xiang, will you eat it? 】
[Ying: I don’t even know the news, how did you know it? 】
[Paimon: Special Channel]
[Ke Lai: Is he studying that mecha? 】
[Wanderer: Congratulations on your guess, but unfortunately there is no reward]
[Seno: Lord Grass God has given you so many conveniences, do you want to rebel? 】
[Wanderer: Heh, do you think you can beat me, you weak insect]
[Nasida: Okay, I asked Ah Mao to do this. Don’t misunderstand me. I just want to see if this mecha can be mass-produced and then controlled through neural links]
[Wanderer: Xumi’s current technology alone is not enough to support it. You can send people to Fontaine. Their industry is very developed, and weapons can be sent to Mondstadt or Liyue]
[Ye Shenzi: What, Ina-wife, you didn’t mention a word, Cannon]
[Wanderer: I am a wanderer now, not the cannon you talk about. The collapse of the Thunder and Lightning Kingdom has become history]
[Ying: Do you want to wash away the sins of the past? Yggdrasil welcomes you]
[Nacida: Traveler, please don’t joke, ordinary people will not be able to bear the torrent in the World Tree]
...
Xingqiu said with relief: "Mr. Onodera, I also agree with your proposal because I don't want readers to know that my handwriting is ugly. And there is another reason: Mr. Onodera was misled by a previous signature of mine."
"In a previous event at Yaedo, I asked for the autographs of all contracted authors for display. At that time, I practiced hard for a day and finally handed over a beautiful signature that was both physical and spiritual. But now it seems that for the sake of face, I Signing out one's signature is really a trap."
Seeing that the situation was in embarrassment, Wendy quickly came out to smooth things over: "Okay, you two, stop being so straight-faced. In the final analysis, the theft was just a misunderstanding. Moreover, everyone has something they don't want others to see. one side."
Paimon also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, as long as I know that Xingqiu is fine and Shu is fine, that's enough for me."
Kuroda looked at Onodera and said, "Onodera, you should explain the truth about the missing book to other people on the island."
Onodera nodded and promised, "Okay, I will go and apologize to everyone."
Everyone looked at each other and returned to the island with Onodera to explain clearly to the others.
