Hanya immediately fell into silence.
Guinaifen and Sushang looked at each other, their gazes constantly shifting between Leon and Hanya.
After more than ten seconds of silence, the former couldn't hold back first.
"…That… can I ask what the method is?"
Hanya: "Mr. Leon means to have another Heliobus help us expel the one that occupied Huohuo's mind but failed to successfully possess her."
As soon as these words came out, the two best friends were stunned.
Guinaifen subconsciously said: "But how could there be a Heliobus willing to help humans? Wait—Miss Hanya, you mean?"
She thought of a certain possibility.
Hanya did not speak, but instead took out the Cangyue Gourd, opened the mouth of the gourd, and released a ball of flame.
A very familiar flame.
"Tail, it was actually sealed here by me."
Seeing Tail appear, Guinaifen was dumbfounded.
"What, what?!"
"Little girl, don't look so shocked." Tail was quite calm, even his tone didn't have much fluctuation.
"Shocked?"
Sushang also came back to her senses from the shock and looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Huohuo was so worried about finding you that she couldn't eat or drink. Now she's even been taken advantage of by another bad thing!"
Guinaifen: "You flame dumpling, what exactly is going on? Don't tell me Miss Hanya knew all along?"
Stelle was also relatively calm. After Leon told her those things yesterday, she had already made some guesses.
She could only say that the current situation wasn't very surprising.
The only point of doubt was whether Tail being caught was voluntary.
Hanya: "In principle, Heliobi wandering outside must be sealed. I was merely acting according to regulations, and besides, it was Tail who requested me to do so."
Tail: "It's a long story. This Lord only remembers that night when my consciousness was about to split into pieces, time seemed to stop for a moment."
"Then I saw myself splitting off from Ignamar and wandering aimlessly."
"I saw myself being picked up by this little girl, and then in the blink of an eye, I was sealed by the Ten Lords Commission Judges onto this little girl's tail."
"You humans call this kind of thing a revolving lantern, right? Why would a Heliobus have such an experience too? It's really seeing ghosts."
Speaking to this point, Tail suddenly looked at Leon, as if pondering something.
"After that experience ended, I saw him, although I don't know why…"
"This Lord originally thought, since there's nothing wrong and I've escaped the seal, I should change bodies and live freely for a while. But—"
Hanya said flatly: "But in various senses, Tail was lucky… and ran into me."
Stelle subconsciously nodded: "Indeed lucky."
If it weren't for Leon being afraid of trouble and too lazy to argue with the Xianzhou Ten Lords Commission, he might have directly eliminated Cirrus without caring about Tail's life or death.
This was his explanation yesterday.
But in reality, was Leon really afraid of the Ten Lords Commission causing trouble?
The answer was undoubtedly no.
What Leon truly cared about was not wanting to implicate the alliance between the Astral Express and the Xianzhou Luofu.
It must be known that some major forces and factions always have various complicated regulations that no one can easily touch, otherwise it's easy to be used as an excuse.
Even events with the smallest influence, once involved, could evolve into incredibly troublesome disputes.
There had already been countless cases of this.
"Lucky… lucky?"
Tail rolled his eyes dramatically.
"I've had terrible luck, running into this female ghost… I mean Judge."
Sensing Hanya's faint peripheral gaze, Tail immediately corrected himself.
Soon, Tail's gaze fell on Huohuo on the chair.
"When this Lord was around, Huohuo always disliked this Lord, constantly nagging about how much trouble I brought her and how much she hated her current life."
"Hehe, not cherishing a powerful superior like this Lord. When you lose it, you'll cry to the heavens and regret it deeply."
"This Lord was so angry that I wanted to hear her cry, so I had this female ghost… Judge put this Lord into the gourd."
Hanya: "You got your wish. Now, I'm giving you a chance to regain your freedom."
"Of course, not letting you leave freely, but restoring everything to its original state."
"What do you mean by that?"
"..." Tail pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "We're old colleagues after all. Just leave it to this Lord with peace of mind."
"So, as long as this Lord possesses Huohuo and eats up that other obstructive guy, there won't be a problem, right?"
"Hmph, I have to teach this blind thing a lesson so it understands it brought trouble upon itself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tail instantly transformed into several balls of flame and rushed into Huohuo's body.
Guinaifen originally thought they would have to wait a long time.
She didn't expect that after only about two and a half minutes, Tail reappeared and spat out a ball of deep blue flame.
"You're awake, Huohuo! Tail's surgery was very successful!"
Guinaifen was overjoyed.
"Eh? Lord Hanya, Miss Guinaifen, Sushang, and… Miss Stelle…"
Seeing the many faces before her, Huohuo was a bit dazed.
"Thank you all. Did you bring Tail back?"
Guinaifen: "What's there to thank… You're our captain. Of course we had to find Tail and bring him back for you."
Tail showed a surprised expression: "Oh? The little coward is the captain now? Hey, not bad at all."
Huohuo's little face turned red: "…It's just Miss Guinaifen calling me that."
"So Tail really is Miss Huohuo's tail!" Sushang suddenly understood.
Tail glared at her upon hearing this.
However, at this point, Sushang was no longer afraid of Tail's threats.
Hanya slightly nodded to Huohuo, then returned to the main topic.
"Cirrus calculated thousands of times, but obviously couldn't have imagined that Tail had already returned to Huohuo's side."
"This time, its plan to hijack the Judge has completely failed. If Huohuo appears before it, it should be able to severely damage its fighting spirit."
However, Leon interjected at this moment, his tone inexplicable.
"That is not the case. From the moment you left Fyxestroll Garden, Cirrus's goal had already been achieved."
"Cirrus's goal..." Hanya was stunned.
Before Leon could speak, the Ten Lords Commission emergency communicator on her body transmitted a message.
"Lord Hanya, urgent report from Fyxestroll Garden—the Heliobi that were suppressed have become active again!"
At this, Hanya finally understood Cirrus's calculations.
"…It seems Cirrus was diverting everyone's attention, scheming to make us leave Fyxestroll Garden."
Sushang: "What is that bad guy planning now?"
Hanya sighed and said softly:
"Although I don't know how it did it, Cirrus has already taken control of all the Heliobi inside the sealing grand array, and its power has greatly increased."
"I know what it wants to do. Sushang, please go to the Seat of Divine Foresight and ask the General to make a trip."
"The rest of you, follow me and return to Fyxestroll Garden immediately. Before the situation reaches an irreversible point, we'll play another round against Cirrus."
"I don't think it's necessary." Leon said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, the General is already waiting at Fyxestroll Garden."
"Ah?"
