Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Fortunately, as the "questioning" judge, the crow relied on dream interpretation to analyze sins, rather than being truly skilled in questioning.

If the crow's interrogation skills are as superb as my own capture skills, I'm afraid I'll be exposed very quickly.

After Xueyi nodded, Hanya quickly brought over a plate of... somewhat distorted pastries.

Xueyi felt a strange urge to laugh.

Come to think of it, the two of us probably hadn't been to the kitchen for hundreds of years before this.

"...There's just a problem with the shaping, but the timing should be fine. Sister, you're not allowed to laugh."

Han Ya seemed to sense the slight teasing in her sister's eyes, and her tone finally carried a hint of embarrassment and coquettishness.

"Speaking of which, what have you been doing under the adults' supervision these days, sister?"

The crow quickly changed the subject.

The crow wanted to investigate the subtle changes in its sister.

As for whether his sister and Liu Bai had an affair?

This crow hadn't really thought about it.

If the work of a snowman is tedious and endless labor...

So her job was to be tortured.

Dream interpretation allows her to experience other people's lives in an immersive way.

The Earth Balance Division steward is trapped in the demonic realm.

The mother who sent her child with cervical stenosis to the Starship Incubation Chamber.

The cloud riders, their faces torn apart by the wolf-like beast's claws...

The various life experiences in her dreams almost shattered her sense of self.

If we're talking about "anchors," Xueyi is undoubtedly her anchor. It's thanks to the sisterly bond and the thoughtful Wangchuan wine from the Ten Kings that Han Ya has been able to maintain people's hearts to this day.

So, the crow's sensitivity to external events is actually... a little worse than the snow-clad one.

The biggest problem with Xueyi is that because her puppet body has no senses, she fights recklessly.

In other aspects, things are relatively normal.

Yes, Xueyi had already learned how to straighten the spine, skull, and other parts of this body—don't ask why they need to be straightened.

The puppet's body cannot be replaced simply by breaking it; there is also a fixed quota—although exceeding this quota only requires paying back the "insignificant" price of a holiday for returning to life.

"these days……"

……

"Those two judge sisters? Why are you asking me?"

The intangible Huanlong lay languidly on Liu Bai's bed, just like a concubine in an ancient costume drama.

"You seem...reliable in this area?"

Is this considered a compliment?

Huanlong began to remove some of her clothes. "Okay, let me think... I did my homework on the Luofu Immortal Ship."

"I won't ask you why you're doing your homework."

Liu Bai rolled her eyes, turned around and began training her concentration towards Huanlong.

"Generally speaking, the Immortal Ship's judgment on abundant evil creatures can be described as 'better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.'"

"Political correctness, I understand."

"Those sisters... no, I should say they're dressed in snow."

Huanlong tapped her chin with her palace fan. "She should be the one who is guilty."

"...Because his body was destroyed? Well, if the crow had also been tainted by the bounty, it's highly likely he wouldn't have been able to save his body either."

Liu Bai hadn't really looked into the details of Han Ya and Xue Yi.

"So the raven is helping to atone for its sins..."

"It should be, and since it can be redeemed, the crime isn't too serious. Judging from the timeline, she should be a survivor of the sudden chaos infection... However, simply surviving shouldn't warrant such punishment."

Huanlong muttered something under his breath.

"She... might have spoken directly with Shuhu, or been bewitched, or reached some kind of deal out of personal desire, but which is only human nature and has no impact on the overall situation."

Huanlong offered his own guess.

"Otherwise, she would never have had a chance to atone for her sins."

"Perhaps it's a jackdaw?"

After hearing what Huanlong said, Liu Bai gradually recalled some things, "It feels like the tragic stories of this kind of character are usually related to sisterly affection."

"A good critique."

Huanlong rolled her eyes at Liu Bai, completely unaware that her body was clean again.

"You probably won't have a chance to help those two sisters resolve their issues. Shuhu should have been completely wiped out by Xianzhou, and Fenfeng might even praise it—but it's also possible that the issues between those two women aren't Shuhu's."

Is it clean?

Ren and Danheng... or rather Yingxing and Danfeng, actually obtained Shuhu's flesh and blood in preparation for resurrecting Baiheng...

However, the damage caused by the so-called evil dragon transformed from Bai Heng was nothing more than a minor disturbance to a big shot like Huanlong.

"Alright, stop dwelling on other people's business. Isn't tomorrow the day we set off? Or did you meet up with another woman tonight?"

……

"Sister, have you ever thought about getting rid of this puppet body?"

After listening to Xueyi's (without the beginning or end) account, Han Ya remained silent for a moment before uttering some rather disrespectful words.

"...A crow?"

Xueyi was slightly startled.

She had actually thought about it, but in the end she didn't bring it up at all.

Firstly, the puppet's body is indeed convenient.

Secondly... no matter how wonderful things are now, one thing cannot be denied.

—They are here on a business trip.

Even after this matter is settled, they will still be judges of the Ten Kings' Court, and will have to sleep in coffins within the court.

"Just report the casualties to the outside world."

At this moment, the crow was very bold. "We will always remember the kindness of the Ten Kings, and we will not betray them. I just want you to live a more comfortable life, sister."

While there are some criticisms of the Ten Kings' Division, considering the bigger picture, the fact that they have a chance to atone for a crime punishable by death is already an immense blessing.

"As long as no one talks about it, there won't be any problem—besides, six months is well past the normal lifespan of this puppet."

After careful consideration, Han Ya realized that her sister's body was still intact, which meant that either she hadn't participated in any high-intensity battles, or she had been specially protected by Liu Bai.

"Even if someone who understands puppetry came, they wouldn't be able to find any problems."

"This……"

A rare "complex" emotion appeared on Xueyi's usually aloof face.

She had to admit that she was attracted to him.

"...This debt of gratitude can never be repaid."

The Ten Kings' pardon allowed the two sisters to serve as tools for hundreds of years without complaint.

The debt of gratitude for Liu Bai's liberation and reunion is enough for them to repay; if they were to add the debt of being reborn...

"We still have to go."

The crow spoke, a resolute look in its eyes, "It's nothing more than leading the charge, even unto death."

For Han Ya, if Liu Bai could do that, what difference would it make if he gave his life to Liu Bai?

She only has one older sister, and they depend on each other for survival!

How many years have passed since the sudden chaos began?

Seven hundred years!

She even remembered the chaos caused by Lord Yinyue in the year 7379 of the Star Calendar.

In the seven hundred years of the Ten Kings' Court, what they wanted... was actually not much.

They no longer aspired to return to normal life; they only hoped that the Ten Kings would grant them, the two sisters, permission to peacefully pass away.

When they discussed their colleagues who had been granted permission to be executed, they all expressed some envy.

However, one cannot enter into death until one's sins are atoned.

So now, compared to Liu Bai here... they discovered that they, the sisters, actually still longed to return to being ordinary people.

No, they actually knew this a long time ago.

After all, the only compensation for the two sisters' work was the time they could spend visiting each other after their lives returned to the world.

This small reward led the two sisters to serve as judges for seven hundred years—in order to atone for their sins by entering Nirvana, yet they also cherished the time they had "lived" immensely.

However, within the Ten Kings' Court, this wish remains just a wish.

The crow spoke with great resolve.

After all, that's what they did in the Ten Kings Division, and now that Liu Bai has shown them even greater kindness, they have no reason to slack off.

No, you could even say there are more reasons to risk one's life.

From the time she was summoned until now, the free and unrestrained time she has spent with her sister has been enough for Jawra to repay with her life.

Even if he died on the battlefield with his sister, wouldn't that be a peaceful demise?

Even if they were to die here, they would not have failed the kindness and mission entrusted to them by the Ten Kings.

But... after hearing these words, Xueyi suddenly had another thought.

(How many children should we have?)

...No, that kind of thinking is too depraved.

How can repaying a debt of gratitude be done entirely by using one's looks to please others?

Xueyi quickly put that thought out of her mind... did she?

I can't let it go.

"...Let's use this body until it's completely worn out first."

Xueyi's words were tantamount to agreeing with Hanya's suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Han Ya's tense expression, which had been strained by his earlier heated words, suddenly relaxed.

(Does this mean I'm... making another mistake with my sister?)

During that sudden chaos, it was because of me that my sister committed a serious crime.

Today again...

The usually talkative Han Ya suddenly fell silent after Xue Yi agreed.

(If it gets scrapped... is it due to battle damage or...?)

Xueyi also fell silent, beginning to think about things that were completely different from Hanya's.

Xueyi sensed that Liu Bai was also very enthusiastic about the "doll" attribute.

...Although it may simply be lust.

However, Xueyi would not harbor such malice towards her benefactor.

"……elder sister?"

The crow broke the silence first.

There was rarely such silence between the sisters.
