CH 36

Even though Scarface was frightened by Ji Xingjue’s affirmative tone, he still wanted to speak again after hesitating for a moment.

However, his words were suppressed by Qi Qing as he raised his eyes, saying, “There are many people who look alike. We are here to ask you something, not to be asked by you.”

Scarface quickly nodded, “What do you two need me to do?”

Ji Xingjue’s Adam apple subconsciously moved.

Half a year ago, he did appear at the neighboring Dark Star, but at that time he was in a coma and it was impossible for him to show up here.

Unless……

Ji Xingjue’s heart sank, he took a glance at Qi Qing, and pursed his lips.

He could no longer stay by Qi Qing’s side now.

“The Holy Order…” Scarface moved two chairs for the two of them with a numb face. After hearing their purpose in coming, he slapped his thigh. “What a coincidence! Recently, a group of people came to the city, and their actions were very strange. Our people are still keeping an eye on them.”

Qi Qing sat down and tapped the table with his slender fingers, signaling him to continue.

“Those people came to the Dark Star a few days ago. We thought it was a cosmic mercenary group at first, but after two days of observation, we found that they only come to the city every day at night, without buying anything or exchanging any information, but looking for someone instead. They will disappear during daytime, as a gas of smoke, leaving no trace at all.” Scarface touched his chin, “They’re being so secrecy, it feels like the Holy Order, and I was planning to report it today, but the two of you came.”

Ji Xingjue, who had already sorted out his emotion and expression, came forward and joined in with curiosity. “Anything else other than that?”

Scarface thought for a while. “They have a leader who wears a hood and a mask, covering his face. The others are like marionettes, they appeared without a sound, and normal people didn’t want to approach them when they walked down the street.”

Qi Qing lifted Ji Xingjue back to the back as if carrying a cat, “Is there any more?”

“No,” Scarface scratched his head, “They only show up at night, you have to wait.”

Qi Qing gave a sound of acknowledgement before lowering his head and took off his gloves. “It’s about time for you to take medicine.”

Ji Xingjue paused, his smile froze in place. “You won’t take advantage of me by selling me off while I’m asleep, right?”

The author has something to say:

The Marshal is like a big fufu dog!

Scarface: Do you have any manners?

(For the last few sentences, it is from Qi Qing. He was angry because JXJ once again hid the reason he was in a coma.)
