In the middle of the night, everything was dark, except for the gentle waves lapping at the coast, making a splashing sound.
Kwai Tsing, Hong Kong Island, Kwai Chung Container Terminal, there is a cargo ship called Kuwa Maru moored on the shore.
This freighter painted in rat gray is about a hundred meters long and a dozen meters wide. Judging from its posture, its tonnage should be no less than 5,000 tons.
About one kilometer away from the dock, Du Weiguo was sitting on the roadside in his stalled BMW, looking at the large ship in the distance with twinkling eyes.
At this time, Du Weiguo frowned, his expression was solemn, and his tone was hesitant:
"Uncle Jiu, on such a big ship, there must be at least dozens of people on board. They can't all be idiots from Jiuju's family, right?
How should I tell the difference? I can't just kill them all the way, regardless of whether they are innocent or not, and cause heads to roll!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu glanced at him slightly in surprise, his expression somewhat strange.
Well, I dare you, a murderous god like you, to wreak havoc on Hong Kong Island and go on a killing spree, why do you really care about this?
But then a trace of relief flashed in Uncle Jiu's eyes. Fortunately, this guy didn't kill anyone.
Although he has been soaked in a sea of blood and mountains of corpses all day long, he still has reason and he still pays attention to principles after all.
Principle is the bottom line, there is only a thin line between good and evil!
After pondering for a while, Uncle Jiu took off a round jade pendant engraved with the Bagua talisman from his neck.
He bit the index finger of his left hand, drew a charm, recited the spell in his mouth, and then gently handed it to Du Weiguo's hand:
"My little friend, this ancient jade of mine is a magical artifact from our Maoshan Road. It has been cultivated by several generations for more than a hundred years.
This ancient jade can exorcise evil spirits. Now I have used the evil evil talisman. Within two hours, once I meet an evil cultivator, I will naturally develop a fever~"
Du Weiguo stretched out his hands to take it with a solemn expression, and gently stroked the jade pendant. His tentacles were warm and delicate, and there was an undetectable warmth.
Du Weiguo frowned slightly and handed it back again, with a solemn tone:
"Uncle Jiu, if you give me such a valuable magic weapon to use, it won't implicate you, right?"
Uncle Jiu shook his head gently, did not answer, but said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter, I guess based on your skill, you won't be able to use it against the enemy. If it's just for identification, it won't have any impact.
But friends, let’s put the ugly words up front. Once you use them against an enemy, you must tell me.
Also, you must use it carefully and don't damage it. If it happens here, you must return it to me intact."
Du Weiguo nodded, patted his chest and agreed: "Well, Uncle Jiu, don't worry. I will never use it against the enemy no matter what. I will definitely return it to Zhao intact."
This thing is equivalent to an evil cultivator tester and is a necessary tool.
As for the use, it was not Du Weiguo's request. If he took the initiative to attack, he did not believe that anyone on the ship could stop it and still need to use this magic weapon.
You can't just fill the ship with masters of Onitsuka's level. It's not scientific at all. If you have such strength.
This Lao Shizi Jiuju sect has already united the earth long ago.
Du Weiguo hung the jade pendant on his chest and carefully covered it with his clothes. He nodded to Uncle Jiu and got out of the car.
With steady steps, he walked towards the ship. After walking about 200 meters, the thick night completely engulfed his figure.
The surroundings were silent and deserted. Du Weiguo covered his face with a piece of black cloth to cover his mouth and nose. His steps became faster and he was dressed in black.
Under the cover of the night battle, like a black mist, it quickly drifted towards the dock.
Needless to say, the inside of this pier is quite heavily guarded, and there are people constantly patrolling at night with flashlights.
However, these ordinary people's guards were useless to Du Weiguo, and he easily bypassed them and sneaked in.
Du Weiguo's figure was like a ghost. He arrived in front of the big ship called Kuwamaru extremely quickly and quietly.
It is already late at night, the night is dark, and the ship is quiet.
Du Weiguo squatted behind a container, observed it carefully, and then stood up suddenly. Like a ghost, he moved quickly, using his hands and feet, and climbed up along the anchor of the ship.
There are still people guarding the watchtower of this big ship, and there are still two people with binoculars in their hands.
In addition, there are hidden sentries in two hidden corners of the ship. This shows that people are still very cautious.
However, these conventional defensive measures were in vain when faced with Du Weiguo, who had night vision and blinking abilities.
These unlucky guys who were in charge of the night watch, no matter where they were, were unconscious when they were hit hard on the back of the neck, their vision went dark, and they fell to the ground silently.
Du Weiguo had never forgotten the glorious tradition of touching corpses. After some searching, he found a pistol and a dagger from their waists.
However, the jade pendant on his chest did not heat up, and Du Weiguo was a little unsure.
Du Weiguo's principle is to eradicate the root causes and eliminate evil, and at the same time, he must not disregard human life and kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is his bottom line.
Since his debut, Du Weiguo has always adhered to this bottom line and never crossed a step. Once he crossed it, according to his current ability, he would be completely demonized.
Du Weiguo took out the jade pendant from his chest and tried it on several people's foreheads one by one. There was indeed no reaction.
Tsk tsk, it seems that these people should be the peripheral mascots of this Jiuju sect, and they are not even qualified to learn evil arts.
Trash among trash, this kind of person is not worth his while.
Du Weiguo curled his lips, used the blinking skill, slipped directly from the watchtower, and sneaked into the cabin silently.
I started walking all the way from the captain's lounge, to the first mate, second mate, and crew quarters.
They all follow the same routine, break into the door, stun first, then search for weapons, and finally determine whether the jade pendant is hot.
Du Weiguo was very efficient. It took him almost 5 minutes to completely search the entire dormitory area of this big ship.
What's a bit interesting is that the jade pendant has not been heated once from beginning to end, but a lot of various weapons and guns have been touched out.
Du Weiguo even found a brand new Remington M870 shotgun that had not been opened in the first officer's room. This was a rare good thing.
Troll! It is said that within three meters, all living beings are equal!
This thing can be used as a powerful weapon in group battles. It is a big treasure that can never be seen in China. Du Weiguo couldn't put it down and played with it for a long time.
It's a pity that there are a little few bullets, only about 50 rounds of buckshot and a few single-point bullets.
In this era, security at sea is not good, and weapons management is not strict, especially for long-distance sea ships.
It is normal to hide several weapons, whether for self-defense or for hunting large sea beasts.
After coming out of the last dormitory, Du Weiguo even searched the canteen and kitchen.
In addition to weapons, there are only some banknotes, only a small amount of US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, and the rest is Japanese yen.
The Japanese yen was thrown away by Du Weiguo. This thing was worthless at all. For the wealthy Du Weiguo, wiping his butt was too hard.
The strange thing is that there are a total of 39 people on this big ship, and none of them can even make the jade pendant heat up.
Du Weiguo frowned, took the jade pendant away from the forehead of a greasy fat man who looked like a chef, gently rubbed the warm ancient jade, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Hiss! Could it be that Uncle Jiu’s information was wrong? Or is this jade pendant malfunctioning? It shouldn’t be possible, right?
In the world of time travellers, there is a saying that has always been spread, you can always trust Uncle Nine, even though this Uncle Nine is not that Uncle Nine.
Du Weiguo did not give up and carefully checked the route map on the wall. Japanese characters were originally derived from Chinese characters.
Du Weiguo quickly figured out the direction by looking and guessing. He walked to the end of the cabin, followed the stairs and opened a heavy iron door, and went down to the machine room on the bottom floor.
As soon as I walked in, a strong sense of voyeurism came to my heart, and the jade pendant on my chest became hot.
Du Weiguo suddenly became energetic. Damn it, after working for most of the night, he finally found the right place.
The freighter was berthed at this time, so the machines were not being transferred. The entire machinery room was dark and quiet.
Du Weiguo stood at the top of the stairs and looked around. He couldn't help but curled his lips and complained in his heart, Ma De, do you have anything new? This is the trick!
Is it rare because Japan is an island country and cod liver oil is relatively cheap, so these guys are working hard to practice night vision?
At this moment, a dark filament made of unknown material formed a trap.
It quickly descended from the sky, and under the cover of darkness, it silently approached Du Weiguo's neck.
Just when the noose was about to hook onto Du Weiguo's neck, a muffled groan suddenly sounded in the ink-like darkness.
On a pipe in mid-air, there was a guy dressed like a ninja. His neck was directly pierced by the tip of the Nine Nether Lock.
With eyes full of disbelief, he fell down from the top, covering his neck.
You must know that the Jiuju Sect, the most powerful weapon for dark assassination, is the Jiuyou Lock. It is very ironic that this thing is now in the hands of Du Weiguo.
This guy fell from mid-air, as if it was the beginning of the battle.
"Swiss swish~chi!"
The cold light tore through the darkness, and the whistling sounds of shurikens and kunai were all drowned out by the sonic boom of the killer sword.
In the mechanical room on the ground floor, there are a total of 6 ninjas hidden in different secret corners.
Except for the first unlucky guy who had his throat pierced by the Nine Nether Lock, the others had their heads nailed to their foreheads with fish-killing knives. They remained silent and died completely.
Du Weiguo has now developed a bad habit, whether he uses a gun or a knife, he always shoots the head!
These guys right now don't need jade pendant identification at all. You can know their identities just by looking at their clothes and weapons.
Du Weiguo carefully searched the entire mechanical room and confirmed that all enemies had been eliminated.
In the innermost part of the mechanical room, an altar-like decoration was found, enshrining a gorgeous yellow chrysanthemum.
Du Weiguo took a closer look and saw that they were all copper utensils, nothing of value.
"Made, you are such a bunch of poor people! Why don't you offer chrysanthemums? You are such a hopeless fool!"
Du Weiguo muttered something disgusting and kicked the altar away.
After the altar flew out, a small compartment hidden behind it was revealed. The heavy iron door was tightly closed by a wheel lock.
"Hey, is there any unexpected gain?"
Du Weiguo rubbed his hands, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and hurriedly walked over. Hehe, he had a great harvest when he killed that Japanese girl last time. It seems that he will make a fortune this time too.
However, when Du Weiguo stood at the door of this compartment, he actually felt a palpitation in his heart.
This feeling was not a warning sign or a dangerous accident, but it was very clear. This was the first time Du Weiguo had encountered this situation.
Du Weiguo is now considered to be an expert and bold man. He spends all day rolling on the tip of a knife. His courage has long been developed and he has no taboos.
How can there be any reason to enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed?
After Du Weiguo pondered for a moment, he struggled with his hands and unscrewed the heavy wheel lock of this compartment without hesitation.
Behind the iron door is a small room, only a few square meters in total. This was originally a room where sundries were stored, but now it has been transformed into a secret room.
In the middle of the secret room, there was only a lone iron cage. The cage was fixed to the ship's board and covered with a layer of black cloth.
Du Weiguo stepped forward and uncovered the black cloth. The railings of the iron cage were very dense and thick. In one corner of the cage, a small figure was curled up.
There was no light in the room, but Du Weiguo saw night as day, so he could clearly see that this little figure was clearly that of a child.
This child was about 11 or 2 years old, very thin, with small arms and legs, a watermelon head, and big eyes filled with fear.
The jade pendant on his chest showed no reaction, so it was obvious that this child was not an evil cultivator.
For such a harmless child, why should the Jiuju family be so tightly guarded, with a secret room and an iron cage?
Du Weiguo was wondering when the child suddenly spoke with a clear voice:
"Are you here to save me?"
She spoke in Cantonese, and Du Weiguo frowned slightly. Until now, he had not been able to tell whether the child was a boy or a girl.
At this time, the child spoke again: "I am a girl!"
Um?
Du Weiguo's eyes narrowed, his heart froze, and his hair went numb. Damn it, this kid can actually read minds.
"Yes, mind reading, I just know what you are thinking."
The child's voice was clear, but at this moment Du Weiguo's forehead was already sweating, and the skin all over his body was thorny.
In other words, there are many kinds of strange superpowers, but the ability to read minds is definitely one of the scariest.
Omniscient and omnipotent, in front of people with mind-reading skills, no one has any privacy at all. It makes me shudder to think about it.
"Gan! My spiritual barrier is actually ineffective against her!"
Looking at the child in the cage, Du Weiguo swallowed subconsciously.
It's no wonder that Jiuju's family locked up this child so tightly, as if facing a formidable enemy. Such a person, even if she is only a child, should still be underestimated.
At this time, the little girl with a watermelon head had already laid down in front of Du Weiguo:
"I like you. You are a good person. You are different from those people who say weird things."
Du Weiguo first subconsciously took a step back, then slowly bent down and approached the iron cage:
"Child, what is your name? Where is your home?"
"My name is Hani. I have no family and no surname. I have been begging for food on the streets as long as I can remember.
Later, I was taken in by Uncle Ming, and he sold me to these strange people. Are you here to save me?"
The man named Uncle Ming was probably a 14K person. Du Weiguo sighed secretly, raised his eyebrows, looked at the lock of the iron cage, and cut off the lock with a light wave of the Tang knife.
The little girl was taken out of the iron cage. The child was so skinny that she had only a handful of bones left. She was so skinny that she didn't even have two ounces of flesh in her body.
Ten minutes later, Uncle Jiu, who had been waiting in the car, was a little surprised to see Du Weiguo come back with a child in his arms.
"Everything is done, kid~"
Du Weiguo first gently placed Hani in the back seat, took off his coat and covered her. The child had already fallen asleep peacefully in Du Weiguo's arms.
Du Weiguo first took off the jade pendant from his neck and handed it back to Uncle Jiu. He did not speak immediately, but lit a cigarette and exhaled a long puff of smoke.
"Uncle Jiu, everything has been resolved. There is an altar on the ship and a few ninjas from the Jiuju sect. The other crew members are ordinary people."
Uncle Jiu nodded. He turned his head and glanced at Ha Ni, who was sleeping soundly in the back seat: "Then what's going on with this kid?"
Du Weiguo frowned slightly and said in a dull tone:
"Uncle Jiu, this kid can read minds and is a natural superpower. He was caught by Jiuju's sect and locked up on the ship."
"Mind reading?"
Uncle Jiu's face became solemn. He was a discerning person. This ability was found in both Taoism and Buddhism.
It is a kind of magical power, it must be powerful, it is called mind power!
