Carrying heavy shackles, Su Li walked out of the prison cell.

Melissa ordered, "You guys, continue patrolling."

"Yes, Lady Melissa."

Several members of the Mechanical Heart group agreed, while Melissa led Su Li towards the interrogation room.

Since boarding the slave transport, Su Li had no chance to wander inside the train.

He was now a slave, spending most of his time locked in the prison cell.

Occasionally, he would have the opportunity to go out, but only within the carriage he was in.

As for the other carriages, someone with his status would never be able to visit.

So, this was his first time moving around inside the slave transport.

The cage was locked again, and Melissa led Su Li into the door of the interrogation room.

As the door closed with a bang, Su Li relaxed instantly, sitting down on the interrogator's chair.

"Ah, I'm so tired."

"This chair is more comfortable than a stinky bed."

Seeing Su Li's casual appearance, Melissa chuckled.

"I see you lying down so leisurely, Captain Su."

Su Li angrily said, "Don't talk nonsense. What's the deal with that silver gun in your squad? They actually arranged for me to be the captain, and I ended up getting beaten up in the room."

Melissa laughed sweetly and happily.

"You mean Edward Howill? The one with silver hair? He also acts according to the orders of the God's envoy. After all, only the captain can have further contact with the True Spirit Society."

"But your experience is quite rich. You actually know about the Blood Hand Sect members in disguise."

"Once you have this identity, the people from the True Spirit Society will definitely contact you proactively."

Hearing Melissa's sincere praise, Su Li suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He hadn't considered continuing to complete the mission, but after Melissa said that, he couldn't help but feel that the other party might really try to get close to him because of his identity as a Blood Hand Sect member.

"Did you call me here just to say this? What about Lilith?"

Melissa smiled slightly and said to Su Li, "She went to listen to the God's envoy's sermon. I prepared some food in the room. Do you want to try it?"

"Why didn't you bring it to the interrogation room? Isn't it too dangerous to go to the front carriage without caution?" Su Li asked.

Melissa opened the metal door of the interrogation room and pointed to the round cover above her head.

Her slender mechanical arm gently lifted up, and immediately, complex gears, coils, and metal pipes spread out from her sleeve, extending rapidly upwards, directly connecting to the towering metal ceiling.

She pushed open the heavy tank-like round cover.

Melissa reached out her hand to Su Li and said, "Of course, we'll go from the top of the train."

Looking at Melissa's outstretched hand, Su Li didn't hesitate. After eating several meals of plain water and black bread, he was starving.

Just as he was about to touch Melissa's fingertips, a mechanical arm extended from Melissa's sleeve. More accurately, it was a pair of moving handcuffs, which instantly clasped Su Li's wrist.

The next second, the raised mechanical arm pulled Melissa towards the top of the train.

Swish...

The distant train whistle sprayed out a large amount of steam.

The speeding steam train was quite fast, and the strong wind around made Su Li almost unable to stand steadily.

With his head covered by a badge hat and wearing a blue double-breasted coat, Su Li was pulled by the steam waves as his flowing hair was held by the girl, and at this moment, his mind was blank.

Carriages passed under his feet one by one, and soon, Melissa stopped and the mechanical arm pulled the heavy cover. She suddenly lifted the cover, tidied up her slightly messy hair blown by the wind, and smiled, saying, "We've arrived, you jump first."

After landing, stepping on the soft red printed carpet, Su Li looked around at the surroundings.

Compared to the huge prison car, this place was like a luxurious cruise ship's independent cabin.

Melissa, who landed lightly, jumped down and introduced with a smile, "Let's go, my room is up ahead."

Melissa seemed to have no guard against Su Li at all. She reached out her hand, and fine gears instantly emerged from the tip of her finger, quickly forming a key-shaped object, which was inserted into the keyhole.

Pushing open the door, Melissa turned around and said to Su Li, who was standing at the door, "Don't just stand there, come in."

Looking down at his dirty slave clothes, Su Li didn't move.

Melissa didn't mind and said, "It's fine, just come in."

Su Li didn't hesitate either. After all, this was the task arranged by their Steam Church.

After opening the door, Su Li curiously glanced at Melissa's room.

The room was about thirty square meters, with only a wardrobe besides the large bed and a workbench with a desk lamp.

There was no warm and sweet fragrance of a girl's room as he had imagined.

The room was filled with parts, many of them mechanical dolls, filled with elements of steampunk.

If it weren't for the pink bed and the curtains hanging on the windows, Su Li would even think that this was a research lab for some crazy mechanical engineering enthusiast.

After Melissa entered the room, she quickly took off her dirty uniform, pulled the curtain of the small changing room to block Su Li's view, and began to change clothes.

Her generosity made Su Li feel a bit uncomfortable, so he forcibly focused his attention on the metal parts on the workbench.It must be said, Melissa did have a girlish side.

The toolbox on the table was neatly lined with rows of component boxes, each meticulously labeled with various small to large precision parts and gears.

Several unfinished weapons or machines were scattered around the workbench and under the table.

As Su Li was engrossed in looking around, a robot carrying a cup of heated coffee, its back puffing out steam, came to his side.

"Thank you!" Su Li took the cup from the robot with rigid movements, curiously asking, "Did you make this robot?"

Melissa's voice came casually from behind the curtain, "Of course."

"That's amazing."

Su Li had never imagined that the Church of Steam and Machinery was so powerful, even creating mechanical servants with the help of magic crystals.

Melissa laughed, pulling back the curtain. She was wrapped in a towel, her fair skin and hair already dried. Her arms, covered in gears and transmission devices, tossed two dazzling crystals at Su Li.

"Catch."

They were self-luminous crystal ores.

"What is this?" Su Li asked.

"Crystal ore, used to replenish Transcendent power."

"The entire body of the Grace of God is engraved with formations that shield Transcendent power. Meditating inside the carriage has a very slow recovery effect, so we clergy directly absorb the Transcendent power from the crystal ores to replenish our own spirituality."

Melissa laughed again, heading towards the bathroom without looking back, and said to Su Li, "Don't touch anything on the table. You can now take the magic crystal and absorb the spirituality inside."

"As for food, Cephalus will bring it over later. He will discuss the upcoming tasks with you in detail."
