Chapter 85: Hey, you little thieves, don't run! Let this young lady deal with you!
"No, no, big brothers, we're not invaders at all!"
For some reason, when Pardofelis saw those soldiers dressed in official uniforms, her first reaction wasn't to plead innocence or immediately reveal her identity. Instead, she unhesitatingly squatted down and raised her hands, her movements looking extremely practiced and fluid.
"Don't get entangled with them; let's just go."
In contrast, Kevin was very decisive. He simply picked Pardofelis up from the ground. After giving Silver Wolf a deep look from behind, he directly abandoned her there and chose to flee.
Since among the known Stellaron Hunters, there was one who could foresee the future, and he had already predicted Silver Wolf's defeat... So why would they foolishly stay put and passively go with the flow?
The Xianzhou Alliance, galloping across the universe—just thinking about it should tell you how strong their overall power must be. Kevin couldn't be sure if there were beings here that even he couldn't handle. And similar to Cocolia in Belobog, the administrators here had absolutely no reason to trust a few outsiders like them.
Faced with such an organization with a tough stance towards outsiders, if they allowed themselves to be taken away by these soldiers, the best outcome would probably be them being imprisoned until everything was completely resolved. Only after being confirmed as non-threatening would they be released again.
Of course, the most important point was—Kevin didn't like the feeling of having his own safety and whereabouts completely controlled by others.
To prevent further escalating the misunderstanding, Kevin directly left the publicly wanted criminal on the spot and had no intention of getting entangled with those silver-armored soldiers.
But to accommodate Pardofelis behind him, his speed couldn't be too fast. The soldiers chasing them were clearly not ordinary people either. Even though many stayed behind to guard Silver Wolf, the remaining dozen or so still closely followed them.
"Hah, I really didn't expect to experience being chased right after setting foot on the Xianzhou."
This was a feeling Kevin had never truly experienced before, but it seemed... not bad. At least after completely breaking free from the 'Finality,' any encounter or emotion was better than that oppressive mood.
Scenes that only happen in adventure stories—who would have thought he'd actually encounter them all.
However, this open grassland clearly wasn't a good place to evade pursuit. Kevin's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings and finally locked onto a certain urban area not far away. He immediately headed towards it.
To be honest, the environment on the Xianzhou 'Luofu' was at least several times better than the former Belobog. Even looking up at that azure sky, you could see the sun and clouds... If not for that 'sun' looking vastly different from Earth's in the past, Kevin might have thought this was Earth.
Although he learned from Silver Wolf that this was indeed the 'Luofu,' Kevin still found it somewhat hard to believe. After all, from the photos he saw in the information database before, the overall appearance of a Xianzhou was clearly that of a massive starship.
If this truly was a starship larger than a planet, with an internal environment completely indistinguishable from a normal planet... Kevin could hardly imagine what level of technology would be required to successfully build such a thing.
If Earth in the past had possessed such technological prowess, certain individuals would have probably already gleefully abandoned everyone and fled into space, right?
At the very least... there wouldn't have been a need for a teenager to bear such a heavy burden...
"Cloud Knights apprehending suspect fugitives! All unrelated personnel, clear the area immediately!"
"Attention! Attention! Cloud Knights guarding the entrance to the pocket realm, please seal off the area immediately!"
In fact, it only took a few minutes for Kevin to drag Pardofelis into that urban area. Before the residents on the streets could react, the pursuing so-called Cloud Knights directly began evacuating the crowd on the streets, treating the two of them as extremely dangerous individuals.
Right... Since that group of Stellaron Hunters confidently placed them on the Xianzhou, they must have prepared a series of special measures.
"Alright, no more talk, boss. I need to continue my patrol! If I want to become a Cloud Knight General, I can't slack off every day!"
Just ahead on the street where Kevin and Pardofelis were running, a Cloud Knight girl whose attire stood out from the other Cloud Knights had just walked out of a shop.
But before she could stuff the steaming hot bun in her hand into her mouth, Kevin running past from the side of the street nearly made her stumble and accidentally caused the bun in her hand to fly out.
Splat————!
The freshly baked bun was cruelly smashed on the ground, meeting an untimely demise.
"Huh?! You Luofu people have no manners... Forget it, I still have a whole bag anyway."
The ever-optimistic girl cheerfully lifted the bag in her hand again. But just as she reached out with her other hand to grab one, Pardofelis, arriving a step later, swung her tail hard against her wrist.
Splat————!
The entire bag of freshly baked buns was cruelly smashed on the ground, all meeting untimely demises.
"......???"
"Hey! What's wrong with you two? Don't you know Article... uh... eight? Seven? Anyway, one of those dozens of articles in the Public Security Code prohibits running recklessly on the streets! Hey! Hey!!"
The saddest thing on the Xianzhou is probably buying a bag of buns and before you can eat them, they go splat and leave you forever.
The girl was just about to open her mouth and curse at those two unreasonable fellows at the top of her lungs when she noticed the dozen or so Cloud Knights chasing from behind. Only then did she realize things weren't as simple as she thought.
"Wha... what? Major fugitives?"
Upon learning about Kevin and Pardofelis' 'true' identities from other Cloud Knights, the girl's lively and intelligent eyes almost lit up.
She had long grown tired of these days spent patrolling the streets. Despite putting all her effort into patrolling everywhere daily, she couldn't even encounter a single petty theft incident.
But today, fortune finally turned. Such major fugitives were right before her eyes!
If she could personally capture these two fugitives, she might earn herself a significant merit. Next would be an audience with the General, appointment as a Cloud Knight Lieutenant Commander, having her life story written into popular tales passed down for generations, and from then on, reaching the peak of life...
The girl grew more and more excited just thinking about it. Feeling a surge of热血涌上心头 (hot blood rushing to her heart), she immediately let out an earth-shattering shout—
"Hey, you little thieves, don't run! Let this young lady deal with you!!!"
