Chapter 325 [Shadow Fruit](1/2)
Fat Cat knocked out the weak Mr. Dunlop with one palm, turned to look at Raymond, and asked: "Captain, are you going to throw this guy into the sea and feed it to the sharks?"
"etc..."
Raymond frowned slightly as if he thought of something.
Dunlop, this guy, obviously deserves to die.
From the moment this guy shot at Anna, he was destined to die. Even if he was Nicole's biological uncle, Raymond would never leave such a scourge on the ship.
However, now...he plans to save this guy's life.
because,
Raymond discovered something strange in his perception,
The original target of hostility has actually moved!
He had felt camp hostility from Dunlop's family knight 'Lawson' before. He thought this guy would be the secret agent of the World Headquarters, but he didn't expect that at the moment of the killing, the 'hostile target' would actually shift. Got it!
And now the hostility coming from the system is coming from Nicole!
After rescuing Nicole before, the system clearly sent a message indicating that her favorability had increased. There was absolutely no way that this little blond beauty with a "friendly" favorability level had any camp hostility towards him.
The only explanation is that the system’s hostility comes from other entities!
At that moment, Raymond felt a faint flow of "qi". He thought it was an illusion at first, but after reading the system prompts, he thought about it carefully and became very scared.
Apparently...
There is also a "mysterious existence" on this ship, a special existence that cannot even be detected by sight and sound!
Therefore, there were not five people in Nicole's group boarding the Iron Toad, but six!
There are not many people in the world of navigation who can completely circumvent the perception of seeing, hearing, color, and domineering.
Even if there were, he would be either a top-level transcendent like Third Uncle, or someone with some special ability.
No matter what the situation is, it means that this "hostile existence" is definitely not simple!
The target of "camp hostility" followed Nicole and the other five people on board the ship, and Raymond's intuition made him feel that "it" came for the secrets of Nicole or Dunlop.
Nicole is Colin's fiancée, and it is very likely that this little beauty will go on an adventure with the ship in the future.
Now three minions are dead...
Before we can figure out how "it" exists and what its purpose is, it will be a big trouble if Dunlop dies again.
...
After a moment of weighing,
Raymond then planned to temporarily save Dunlop's life.
But you can’t make it too obvious.
At this time, he rolled his eyes, thought of something, and said coldly: "Tear off this guy's equipment and clothes, hang them on the mast and let him bask in the sun."
In the world of navigation, there is a very terrifying torture called "sun torture".
This kind of punishment is countless times more cruel than hanging. It is to hang the person on the mast to be exposed to the sun and wind. Ordinary people will have their skin and flesh burst open in a day or two and die of dehydration. However, the vitality of extraordinary people is very tenacious, so they will also die from this. Slowly, the sea breeze and sunshine will dry people out, causing them to die painfully and slowly...
"Yes, Captain."
Sha Mao nodded in response and started to move his hands.
No one was surprised when they heard Raymond's decision. Whether it was the navy or the pirate camp, this was the most common method of torturing those who committed heinous crimes on ships.
This vicious villain named Dunlop deserves to be tortured like this.
...
Dunlop was stripped down to a pair of shorts and hung naked on a pole at the stern of the boat to blow in the wind.
Although he deserved the crime, he was her biological uncle after all. A flash of unbearability flashed in Nicole's eyes, and she didn't take another look. She also understood that her uncle's behavior of repaying kindness with hatred just now could not be punished too much.
Her mood suddenly changed from the joy of surviving a disaster and seeing each other again after a long separation, to a touch of melancholy.
Although this Mr. Dunlop is despicable and mean, he is also her last relative in this world.
Colin obviously understood Nicole's mood, patted her shoulder and apologized: "I'm sorry..."
Since this guy dares to have evil intentions towards the Ghost Group, Dunlop must die no matter what, and he will not ask Raymond for anything.
"You did the right thing...uncle...he deserves it."
Nicole whispered, but she couldn't hide the loneliness in her heart, and her eyes were slightly sour.
Anna saw everything.
She also knew that the little girl was not feeling well, so she raised her hand. Water arrows surged into the sea, and in a blink of an eye, all the blood on the deck was washed away.
The corpse was stripped of the equipment by Fat Cat and thrown into the sea. The bloody scene just now left no traces, as if it had never happened.
"Colin..."
After doing all this, Anna turned to look at Colin and shouted.
She smiled and suggested: "Nicole should be tired, take him to the cabin to have a rest. Wait for Shi Shi to prepare dinner later, and we will have a sumptuous welcome dinner..."
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot because of these words.
"OK!"
Colin nodded and his brows relaxed. He turned to Raymond and said: "Captain, let me take Nicole to visit my laboratory first..."
"good."
Raymond nodded calmly, his eyes passing over Nicole inadvertently.
He was a little confused: "Seeing and hearing color can't sense the existence of any 'qi', so what is 'its' special hiding ability? Extraordinary ability, or maybe it's a devil fruit..."
He eliminated all the high-level concealment methods he knew in his mind, trying to figure out what was going on with the hostile target attached to Nicole.
At this time,
Colin held Nicole's hand affectionately and walked past him, the hint of hostility getting closer and closer.
Sudden,
When Raymond saw the shadow at Nicole's feet, he suddenly thought of something.
"Huh..."
He turned his eyes and quietly and unconsciously threw an "Eye of True Seeing" towards the shadow.
That group of shadows that was so normal suddenly suddenly appeared with a string of names!
【Gulisha Akiraan Yeka】
???
Detailed explanation: By crushing the level, you cannot obtain more target information;
"It's actually this guy!"
Looking at the name displayed on the system, Raymond was really surprised.
This name is familiar to players in the later stages of the game, because this guy is also an ability user marked in the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book".
"NO.9", one of the captains of the World Headquarters CP9 Endless Sea Corps, a user with the [Shadow Fruit] ability!
"No wonder he was able to evade the domineering perception of seeing, hearing, and color. It turned out to be him..."
Colin passed by each other, and Raymond felt a hint of surprise in his heart.
If this guy hadn't moved the possessed target before, he wouldn't have even noticed it at all. If he had this ability, he would have figured it out.
[Shadow Fruit] is a very powerful fruit of the law of darkness. It allows the ability user to blend into any shadow, completely hiding the aura, and has extremely high immunity to damage absorption.
This is also one of the most coveted abilities for assassins and spies.
If it weren't for the system, it would have been impossible for Raymond to discover his existence!
Although Raymond has never seen this "NO.9" Yeka take action, the captains of the CP9 team in the game are all sequence 0 golden bosses, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
CP9 is an intelligence agency, and all its actions are aimed at collecting intelligence. It rarely engages in combat. But once it does, there will be no survivors!
So the outside world knows almost nothing about their identities.
If this guy is really forced to take action, there is only one outcome, and that is to fight to the death.
...
"The arrival of such a high-level stalker is much more troublesome than expected..."
Raymond narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
This is the current situation, so even if you know it, unless you are determined to fight to the death, it is best not to expose it.
That guy was lurking all the way over without taking any action. He obviously didn't intend to kill Nicole or Mr. Dunlop, but was just lurking secretly to obtain information.
This is also good news. At least the danger this person poses to the "ghost group" is not too high for the time being.
"Maybe a CP9 captain was asked to follow him personally. Why...what secrets do Nicole and the others have?"
To be continued...
