Chapter 66 Commander, please find an excuse yourself.
A dozen meters away, Lin Yuyan stared intently ahead, her gaze never leaving the blue-haired girl's back.
She clutched the Flower of the Heart in her palm. The moment she sensed something was wrong, she would instantly transform, rushing forward to snatch her maid back.
A few minutes earlier, when faced with Basil's request to "speak alone," Su Chenjin displayed astonishing courage. She took a step forward and turned back, a bright, genuine smile blooming on her cool and lovely face:
"It's alright, Miss Lin, leave it to me! I'll go and talk to her!"
After saying that, the blue-haired girl walked towards Basil without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jin, in order to avoid conflict, actually volunteered to face such a dangerous enemy head-on...
What courage and determination...
At that moment, Lin Yuyan deeply regretted not stopping her.
Chen Jin... Don't worry, if that woman dares to do anything to you, I will definitely not let her get away with it!
…………
However, the reality was completely different from the scene of "a weak maid sacrificing herself to feed a tiger" that Lin Yuyan had imagined.
With her back to the surveillance line, Su Chenjin drooped her eyelids and looked at Luo Le with a displeased expression.
"Tell me, why are you talking to me here?"
Su Chenjin looked up at Luo Le's smug face. "You could have just called me, right? What were you planning to do by coming to the train station and causing this scene?"
Seeing the commander's incredible ability to change his expression at lightning speed, Basil couldn't help but chuckle.
"This is what you call the guidance of fate. This station is really too big, so Mo Ran Ying, Zhen Ye, and Yao Xing are guarding the other entrances. What I'm thinking is, if you were to encounter any of the three of them, given their personalities, they might actually set off some fireworks to drive away passersby, work together to defeat Hu Yue, and then tie you up and take you back to base."
Basil leaned slightly closer and lowered her voice.
"However, if you've met me, it means fate isn't going to stop you. Fate itself thinks you should take a trip to the magical realm!"
"...Alright, stop rambling on about fate and let's get down to business." Su Chenjin raised her right hand to interrupt Basil.
Basil dropped his playful grin and became slightly more serious. "Well then, I'll get straight to the point. Commander, Dr. Zhang Menglin revealed to us that you're going to the Magic Kingdom. She also told us that the kingdom is in great danger, and the veterans are about to stage a riot."
Hearing this, Su Chenjin was not surprised at all.
Moreover, she could probably guess that Zhang Menglin leaked the information to the Four Heavenly Kings in order to use them to keep her in the material world.
At least from this point of view, Zhang Menglin is indeed genuinely concerned about her safety.
"So, even though Zhang Menglin told you that it's very dangerous in your country, you're actually planning to let me go?" Su Chenjin asked rhetorically.
"Since Zhang Menglin dared to send you, she must have a backup plan."
Basil crossed her arms and said firmly, "What she's really thinking is that if we can stop you, that would be best. But if we can't, she'll find other ways to protect your safety in the country."
"...Oh? How did you figure that out?" Su Chenjin was somewhat surprised by Basil's keen observation.
"This kind of information about an impending magical girl uprising isn't something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can know."
Basil sneered. "The fact that she was able to obtain this kind of information in advance shows that her connections and status in the magical kingdom are anything but simple. I've roughly guessed her true identity, but I just don't have the evidence yet."
"How much do you know?" Su Chenjin immediately pressed.
She remained troubled by Zhang Menglin's mysterious "friend." Of course, usually, when someone says "I have a friend," the "friend" refers to themselves...
"Anyway, that guy... his strength in the country is enough to guarantee your safety. Once you arrive in the country, you'll naturally know who she is."
At this point, Basil seemed extremely reluctant to continue the topic, even turning halfway around in frustration. "I don't want to talk about her anymore. Because that girl always makes me so angry!"
Basil and Zhang Menglin's relationship is indeed not good. But the problem is... Zhang Menglin's relationship with the Four Heavenly Kings isn't great either. Basil's situation seems a bit special?
"Could it be... that you and she are both researchers, and you have a conflict in your academic paths?" Su Chenjin asked curiously.
Basil gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with disgust. "You could say that. More importantly, this girl always likes to interfere with my research! Commander, you know I prefer unrestrained exploration and doing research that interests me. But Zhang Menglin's behavior... is just too disgusting."
"How disgusting is it?"
"You know I used to work in one of the five major research institutes, right? Back then, there was this old geezer who always bossed me around and completely restricted my research direction. And Zhang Menglin... she's a complete reincarnation of that old geezer! Just seeing her makes me furious!"
Hearing this, Su Chenjin nodded in understanding.
Back then, Basil couldn't stand the rigid research environment of the research institute. He even gave up the "flower cards" promised by the Supreme Scepter and chose to leave the research institute. In the end, he and Basil created "The Place Where the Stars Are" together.
To be honest, although Basil didn't name names, the only one in the research institute who could be called "that immortal old man" is probably "that person"...
"Alright, Commander, let's stop here for now. Your 'master' seems to be getting impatient."
Basil composed himself, put his sunglasses back on, and looked at Lin Yuyan, who was already waiting impatiently a dozen meters away.
"I won't disturb your trip any longer, I'll be going now."
Watching Basil turn and leave, Su Chenjin seemed to realize something—
"Hey, wait a minute, Basil! We've been chatting here for so long, what am I going to do if Crescent Moon asks me about what we were talking about?"
How could a maid who defected from the Star Realm actually make the other side retreat obediently? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense!
Upon hearing the commander's plea for help, Basil stopped and turned around slightly.
"Hmm? Since it was you, Commander, who insisted on going undercover... then how to cover up the lie is naturally your own business!"
Basil waved his hand gloatingly.
"Sister Qingluan, have a safe journey!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Basil vanished into the crowded station.
