Dimensional Hotel-Chapter 609: The Champions of Justice Take Action

Shuji, Mo City, it was still a day of endless rain.

A small shuttle, vastly different in style from the local transportation, deftly hovered over the City Lord Mansion and landed on the Immortal Boat Platform after getting clearance.

Luo looked up at the ethereal shield enveloping the building. The endless rain merged into a hazy water curtain on the barrier. Amidst the dense clouds above, a heavy freighter transporting crystal mines (which the locals called 'Immortal Boat') was slowly accelerating.

For some reason, fragments of broken and yellowed images flickered in her mind, bringing back things she thought long forgotten. She remembered the old observatory back home, a sudden downpour, and the frustration of missing the "H-32" comet during that rainstorm—she recalled the time when the planet's only interstellar flight passed through the clouds, the flames from the engines burning in the rainy night, sparking her first impulse to leave her hometown in her childhood.

So much time had passed.

Luo withdrew her gaze from the sky and followed the guide sent by City Lord Mo Ran towards the interior of the mansion. In a place resembling a small processing center, she saw the gift prepared for her by the "new boss."

"These are blood grenades," the Bone-devouring Immortal introduced, pointing to the small box beside him, while curiously observing the "new colleague" who was supposedly a big shot in the past. "They've been specially adjusted for you, ordinary detection means cannot discover them."

Luo picked up this intriguing "weapon" and weighed it in her hand. A mechanical limb extended from her back, and the detector at its end quickly scanned the basic structure of the object — although she could only understand part of it, she quickly grasped how to use it and simulated several scenarios in her mind where modifications might come in handy.

At the same time, she felt a subtle "resonance" with the tubular containers at the core of the blood grenades that constantly emitted a familiar aura, stirring in her both fear and a compulsion to get close.

It was as if she was standing in front of an abyss, with the dread of losing her footing and plummeting, mixed with the terrifying thought of stepping forward into death, constantly urging her. Focusing on it almost gave her a sense that her rationality was gradually evaporating.

She knew this was the most crucial "charge" of the weapon — for those who had undergone "Blood Transfer," it could bring power and protection, but for enemies, it was a "poison of death" that could pierce the boundaries of life and death.

The Withered Court Elder fetched a few crystal vials engraved with runes from a nearby shelf and handed them to the golden-haired elf who had come to "pick up the goods."

"This is unprocessed 'pure blood,' specially ordered by the True Monarch for you to take," the elder, whose entire being exuded a strange and dangerous aura, slowly said, "When to use it, how to use it, that's for you to decide, just don't waste it."

Immediately, the "Blood Young Master," with a gentle demeanor, polite gestures, but eyes as serpentine as his temperament, stepped forward and placed a few talisman cards depicting a triangular emblem on the table.

"These are bestowed by the True Monarch," the Blood Young Master smiled sincerely, though those familiar with him knew his smile was more of a facade, and his tone carried a sinister undertone, "as your 'retreat.'"

"If things really get tough, don't hesitate, run if you can," the Bone-devouring Immortal advised from the side, a pair of eyes behind the iron mask looked genuine and sincere, "The True Monarch is a good person, he won't punish you."

The Withered Court Elder and Blood Young Master nodded in agreement, speaking in unison: "Life is most important."

Evidently, the talent trio of the Demon Suppression Tower had a strong consensus on this front.

Luo suddenly felt a tinge of emotion, after all, her former colleagues at the Black Dot Group weren't like this. In that cold place, having no one to stab you in the back was considered good enough.

For a moment, she was overwhelmed with emotions. She looked at the self-defense weapons and life-saving tools prepared just for her, and suddenly found that although these three initially gave off a dark vibe, in reality, they seemed quite nice.

Is this what it feels like to embrace the light from the dark? A good colleague relationship, a team atmosphere of mutual help and support, with someone helping with the initial planning and arranging an exit strategy before the mission begins, and the boss not exerting pressure...

Luo suddenly felt like the warrior in a story, setting out to slay the Evil Dragon, carrying the hope of the entire village — two hundred years ago, she left the village's hope to go to college but was sold to the Lawless Star Region, and now, she was returning to that dark, cold place with new strength and mission.

Destiny, truly an inscrutable miracle.

"Rest assured, I'll bring back good news," she took a deep breath, stepped back, and said solemnly, "I won't let anyone down."

The three evil cultivators didn't quite understand how their new colleague suddenly became so fired up, but they still clasped their fists and courtesy bowed: "Wishing you all the best, and a safe return."

Mo Ran was observing the situation in the Artifact Refining Workshop through the Lingxi Mirror in a dark chamber, deeply moved by the scene—three evil cultivators sending a terrorist to the Lawless Star Region as a double agent, the excitement was quite intense. Anyone unaware would have thought they were saving the world...

The City Lord Fairy shook her head, setting aside her feelings for the moment, and turned to look at the large crystal beside her.

This crystal had extended from the depths of Shuji's crust all the way to the surface, growing into a clear and transparent "curtain wall" in this dark chamber. At the moment, a vague figure was appearing in the crystal.

"Luo has set off, and as per your orders, everything has been handed over to her."

Yu Sheng nodded through the crystal, perceiving the global situation of Shuji while speaking, "Alright—continuing with our previous topic, there is a production plan here in the Boundary Land which requires a batch of special minerals. I will send you the requirements later, and once you're ready, deliver them to the mineral sorting platform of Refining Tower No. 1. A batch of Special Service Bureau personnel will open the door to pick it up...

"Keep this matter confidential, dispatch your trusted people to do it, and the ore needs to undergo preliminary processing without any leaks about the process."

Mo Ran was curious, but didn't ask a single question, only bowing deeply: "Yes, Mo Ran understands."

"Okay, there's another matter," Yu Sheng pondered and then spoke again, "Spread some information outside, saying...recently, communications between Boundary Land and Feiyu Star Domain are restricted, and there have been unidentified interferences. Moreover, tourists in the 'suburbs' of Boundary City are being restricted. Later, there will be similar news emerging in Boundary Land, you should coordinate accordingly."

Mo Ran blinked, showing a trace of thoughtfulness, but still didn't ask anything, only lowering her head: "I will comply with your instructions."

...

After confirming that Luo had safely passed through the door by piloting the shuttle, Yu Sheng withdrew his attention from the distant Shuji, and upon opening his eyes, he immediately saw a small head almost right in front of his face, with a pair of scarlet eyes.

Erin was standing on the armrest of the sofa, looking down at Yu Sheng: "Hey, has our second-hand scientist set off?"

Yu Sheng was still pondering whether hiding the yarn panties Hu Li gave him in the center of Shuji would be discovered, and didn't respond immediately to the little puppet's words: "What second-hand scientist…"

Then he widened his eyes: "At least she's one of us now, be careful she doesn't find out and trouble you later."

"Well, she first has to beat me, right? The lass struggles even in the second half of the first grade in the valley…" The little puppet muttered, stepping on Yu Sheng's shoulder for leverage, then jumping from the armrest to the backrest like a nimble cat, "But, seriously, can she make it? Driving a paper-thin shuttle to the Lawless Star Region to gather clues, and it sounds like she not only has to find the Venerate Saints Monastery's clues, but also has to mess with her old employers… hope she doesn't get stuck, or we'll have to go fish her out."

At this point, Erin paused, sitting cross-legged on the sofa backrest, propping her chin with one hand: "Honestly, she always seemed amateur."

Yu Sheng looked at this little puppet a bit speechlessly, thinking to himself that such a low-IQ person in a travel agency saw everyone as amateur, quite confident indeed. But he only thought this in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud—after all, having a piece of reinforced concrete drop on you from up high is no joke, the little thing's head is very hard...

"Luo is more competent than you think," he said casually, "don't be misled by her decadent demeanor in the valley. After she took over Black Stone Station, she managed to integrate all the teams over there, including the engineering teams from Shuji, administrative staff, and the group of Star Scholars led by Alvin, within two days. Although I had pre-arranged things, the fact that she could quickly establish her authority among a disjointed array of unfamiliar teams was not just because of my arrangements."

The little puppet listened, wide-eyed: "Really that impressive?"

"What do you think? At least she could maintain her territory in the Dark Meteor Domain," Yu Sheng said with a touch of admiration, "I even suspect that given a few more days, she could turn those Star Scholars—who are proper Argelad Star Nobles with a deep-seated enmity towards the Black Dot Group—and get them to actually research Black Spirit Ability..."

The little puppet listened blankly, suddenly shivering: "Dangerous individuals are indeed extremely dangerous. Fortunately, she defected to the dark…"

Yu Sheng didn't pay attention to Erin's subsequent mutterings, instead he rolled off the sofa (one key reason for getting up was the constant fear that the neurotic little puppet might senselessly jump off the backrest), saying: "I'm off to the Cathedral for a bit."

Sure enough, as Yu Sheng got up, Erin jumped down, landing on the sofa cushions. Lodged between two cushions, she looked up at Yu Sheng: "What for?"

"To check on that 'tree'," Yu Sheng replied with a smile, "The Venerate Saints Monastery wants the 'Angel Catalyst', so I'm thinking of adding something special to the bait…"
