Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 336 Kiana won MVP! Phaethon just got carried to victory (doge emoji).

"jingle!"

Kiana pushed open the door and entered. As the bell on the door rang, Bomb, who had been dozing off at the cashier's counter, opened its eyes.

Having a similar appearance to Ies, the only difference being the number 18 on its scarf, it hurriedly greeted Kiana, its voice rather loud so that people in the next room could hear the commotion outside.

Kiana ignored the door that had been slightly opened and went to the cabinet to watch the videotape. At that moment, Bell quietly slipped out from the slightly ajar door.

After recognizing the guest who had entered, Ling's face visibly broke out in a cold sweat. To prevent the other person from noticing her embarrassment and discovering the problem, Ling forced herself to step forward and ask.

"Excuse me, does this guest need to rent or purchase any videotapes?"

"Yes, sisters, yes, I'm looking for a series of videotapes called 'Fahrenheit's Colleagues'. I wonder if you sell them in your store?" Kiana replied with a half-smile.

"Uh, I'm sorry, we don't have that series of videotapes in our store. If you don't mind, you can check if there are any other videotapes you want to rent. We will try our best to find the series of videotapes you just mentioned on the market."

Ling's eyes darted around, completely oblivious to the fact that she had been exposed, much to Zhe's frustration as he stood at the door. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Zhe decided to confront her personally and ask why she had come. After all, it was obvious she had already discovered their identities as Phaethon. In fact, given that she was also Bronya's friend, their identities had already been exposed long ago.

"Alright, Ling, you can go back now. I'll handle things here."

Seeing that Zhe had come out, Ling felt relieved as if she had found her pillar of support, but Zhe's next words made her heart jump again.

"I wonder what brings Miss Kiana from the Sixth Anti-Air Division here to ask you? You promised to let us go yesterday, you can't possibly be going back on your word now, can you?"

"of course not."

Kiana put the love movie videotape back in its original place and turned to look at Zhe, who had a serious expression.

"Since you're not trying to hide it anymore, I'll be frank with you. The main reason I'm here is to share the intelligence I extracted from the rebels we captured yesterday."

"Why? Logically speaking, with substantial evidence, your Section Six should have sufficient grounds to intervene in this case."

"Unfortunately, although the evidence was indeed found, the other side insisted that they had only hijacked the train and intended to use the explosives on the train to target the defense forces. As a result, the confessions of those rebels could not be used against Vision Industries."

"No wonder there hasn't been any information about Section Six of the Anti-Aircraft Division in the news so far. I originally thought it was a secret operation, which is why there was no word about it. Is that why?"

Seeing Tetsuya and the others deep in thought, Kiana continued to explain, "As you know, the head of the Anti-Air Section 6 is Hoshimi Miyabi, and the deputy head is Tsukishiro Yanagi. Although Yanagi has given us enough autonomy, in essence, the two of them are still in charge of oversight."

"In other words, if something happens, the two of them will be the first to be held accountable, right?" Zhe asked.

“That’s right, I came to find you so as not to cause them any trouble. Don’t worry, I submitted my leave application before leaving home. Now that I’m on leave, whatever outrageous things I do during this time are entirely my own will. If you want to take this opportunity to cause trouble for the Sixth Division of the Sky, you’d better talk to my Kaslana family first.”

"What a willful young lady!" Zhe said helplessly.

It's no wonder Zhe thinks this way. After all, as one of the oldest families in New Elidu, the Kaslana family existed before the fall of the old capital and was deeply involved in the fight against Void Zero and the establishment of the new capital.

At the same time, due to the fall of the old capital, the Kaslana family suffered heavy losses, with a large number of family members dying in the battle against the Hollow. Those who survived were all elites among elites.

These people then established the initial defensive line, which is now Scott Outpost. At the same time, the Kaslana family invested a lot of money in the construction of New Elidu, which enabled the New Elidu to be successfully completed.

Therefore, many people believe that the current mayor is the one who reaped the benefits, but in fact, New Elidu was established by the Mefrau family, and Kaslana was just an investor in it.

Moreover, the Kaslana family has always been knights, so they are politically naive and know nothing about politics. The mayor's position was personally recommended by the Kaslana family.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that it is precisely because of the Kaslana family's special status and importance to New Elidu that even TOPS cannot openly oppose the Kaslana in New Elidu.

"So, Ms. Kiana is only here to commission us in her personal capacity?" Zhe cautiously probed.

"Yes," Kiana nodded. "So why don't you consider accepting my request? It doesn't conflict with your current requests at all, does it?"

"..."

After much deliberation, Zhe finally agreed to Kiana's request, since there was no time for them to hesitate any longer.

Then, led by Tetsuya, Kiana arrived at the room where the H·D·D system was located. As soon as she entered, she saw Nekomata hiding behind the sofa, only showing half of his head and looking very wary.

After explaining the situation to Nekomata, Tetsuya began to formally explain the current situation to Kiana.

In summary, based on the visual records brought out by the cat, there are indeed quite a few survivors left in the canvas alley that was isolated by the hollow.

However, since most of these survivors were elderly people and children with little resistance to the Ether, Vision Industries decided to abandon this group of survivors for cost reasons and directly announced that all survivors had been evacuated. Before leaving, they also hired a group of rebels to pose as sheriffs to keep these people in Canvas Alley, and set up signal jammers in corners far from the alley to prevent communication between the inside and outside.

It can be said that Vision Industries has completely abandoned its conscience in order to achieve its performance ranking in the TOPS. With conclusive evidence, Kiana copied the visual record. All that remains is to rescue all the survivors through the Dead End Hole and expose Vision Industries' despicable methods.

As for how to escort so many survivors out, we have to thank Vision Industries for the transport train they sent.

"In conclusion, we need to hijack that train, remove all the explosives inside, and then use the train to transport everyone out."

Inside Canvas Alley, Zhe, using Ies's body, explained his plan to Nicole and the others.

"I see, so this is what they call using someone else's methods against them. And I didn't expect you, Rope Craftsman, to actually manage to bring Kiana over. You truly live up to your reputation as the legendary Rope Craftsman Phaethon!"

At this moment, Kiana is using her position in the Anti-Air Section 6 to gather all the survivors near the station, while Nico and the others are talking to an old man about the Nekomata's request.

From the old man, everyone learned that the Red Fang Gang originally started in Canvas Alley, and most of the people there had some connection with the Red Fang Gang.

Moreover, the Red Fang Gang wasn't always like it is now. Back then, they not only took in many orphans but also taught them to read and fight, and often stood up for the weak in the area. They even said they would protect this place forever, but unfortunately, a few years later, the man called White Guy changed.

Not only did they look down on the poor place of Canvas Alley, but they also started leading their gang into all sorts of shady dealings. Because of this, many members of the Red Fang Gang couldn't stand it anymore and chose to leave the gang and go there.

Not long after, the Red Fang Gang also left this place.

Nowadays, Canvas Alley doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Red Fang Gang. The fact that the white guy was chased by the police and fell into the cave is something that these people think he deserved.

But what the speaker meant was taken seriously by the listener. After the old man revealed the truth about Bai Lao's death and Nicole and the others' accounts, Neko's mood suddenly plummeted.

But now was not the time to find out the details. Nicole and the others chatted with the cat for a while and said they could reduce some of the commission fees before signaling Zhe to start planning.

Hearing this, Neko also perked up and prepared for the upcoming battle. Meanwhile, Tetsuya had already located the train's position and the enemy's distribution. Just in case, Rin even calculated a backup plan that could be used for a sneak attack.

But the next second, Kiana rushed into the crowd, and when everyone rushed over to help, they found that all the enemies were lying peacefully on the ground.

"I forgot that Kiana's strength is comparable to that martial arts fanatic fox. With her around, do we still need to be careful?" Nicole said, covering her face.

"From what you're saying, Nicole knows Kiana? And who is that martial arts fanatic fox?" Zhe asked, looking up.

"Well, it's a complicated relationship, I suppose," Nicole said, her lips twitching as she recalled her first meeting with Kiana. "As for the 'Martial Arts Fanatic Fox,' I was actually referring to Hoshimi Miyabi."

"Judging from your tone, Nicole, something amazing must have happened! Can you tell us about it? I'm very curious!" Billy said obsequiously, swaying his hips.

"We'll deal with that later! The most important thing right now is to get the train to the station and pick up the survivors!"

Just as everyone had tied up all the unconscious people and stuffed them into the carriage, they were surprised to find that Perlman was also inside. According to him, he came to check the situation in person because yesterday's operation had failed, but he did not expect to be caught by everyone.

Just as everyone was tying Perlman up and preparing to pack him up and take him away, a roar from Yi Hai interrupted their actions.

Within the void, the infamous "Dead End Butcher" came into view. Upon noticing them, he charged at them, weapon in hand, only to be instantly killed by Kiana.

Yes, it was a sell-out, an absolute sell-out.

Although the Dead End Killer has been dealt with, bad news has also emerged: the only railway line leading to New Elidu has been completely destroyed by the Dead End Killer's attack.

The good news is that the void created by the Dead End Butcher's death is collapsing on a large scale. According to Fairy's calculations, the area covered by the Dead End Void will soon shrink to a point where even the survivors in Canvas Alley can easily leave.

Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was simple. Kiana tied all the suspects together with a long enough rope and placed the end of the rope in Nico's hand, indicating that Nico and the others should leave first while she headed to Canvas Alley to organize the survivors to prepare to leave the cave on foot.

Soon after leaving the dead end and the empty space, Nicole and the others arrived at the blasting engineering command center of Vision Industries. Suddenly, a bright spotlight shone on the area near the exit, making Nicole rub her eyes.

Once Nicole's eyes adjusted to the bright light, she found herself surrounded by heavily armed sheriffs, or rather, rebel groups disguised as sheriffs. Leading them was a dark-haired woman in a red suit, who was Perlman's secretary, Sarah—at least on the surface.

From Sarah's words, Nicole and the others realized that Perlman was just a puppet they had brought to the forefront, and that it was Sarah, right in front of them, who was pushing this bombing plan forward.

Sarah then pressed the detonator in front of Nicole and the others, and her men promptly reported that the explosion was successful.

Despite this, Sarah didn't see any anxiety on Nicole's and the others' faces; instead, they looked relaxed.

Then, a large number of figures appeared at the end of the hollow tunnel, giving Sarah the answer. A little girl was sitting on Kiana's shoulders, holding a megaphone and shouting that Vision Industries was disregarding human life.

Sarah had originally planned to silence them, but after seeing that the leader was Kiana, she abandoned the idea. Before anyone else could notice her, Sarah had already secretly slipped away.

By the time her men realized what was happening, Sarah had already vanished. At the same time, sirens blared in the distance, and the sound of helicopter rotors spinning filled the air.

Upon arriving at the scene, Bollinger immediately directed his men to quickly take control of the situation. The television reporters who had followed also quickly broadcast the situation, instantly exposing Vision Industries' despicable tactics.

The helicopters hovering in the sky were not from the Public Security Bureau, but belonged to Baizhi Heavy Industry, a business rival of Vision Industries.

Just moments before, Nicole realized that the other party would never give in, and the instant she left the empty space, she anonymously contacted Bai Zhi Heavy Industry. Just as she expected, Bai Zhi Heavy Industry, as a business rival, quickly took action, not only finding the real police department in a short time, but also bringing in reporters from multiple media outlets. The situation was effectively brought under control in an instant.

Thus, the case of the long-term demolition that was triggered by the renovation project of the old subway came to an end. Afterwards, Neko also showed Nicole and others the family heirlooms she had accidentally found.

After Nekomata's explanation, Nico and the others learned about Nekomata's background. Nekomata was one of the orphans adopted by the Red Fang Gang, and later chose to leave the Red Fang Gang because of the gang's change of heart.

Later, after hearing that the white man had died at the hands of the cunning rabbit house, he came to seek revenge under the guise of a commission, but unexpectedly learned the truth of the matter.

After sincerely apologizing to Nicole and the others, the cat was about to leave in disappointment, but Nicole called him back and he finally accepted Nicole's invitation to officially become the fourth member of the Rabbit House.

On the other hand, Kiana's [unauthorized] actions have forced her to suspend her duties for half a month, and she is currently planning to attend the celebration banquet inside the Rabbit House and Phaethon.

They had already arrived at the hot pot restaurant where they were, without Kiana giving them any prior notice.
