Chapter 23 Seeing Cause and Effect

Back in time not long ago, Eredin followed Victor into the sea and jumped into the water with him.

She almost cut off all her escape routes and opened her eyes in the cold water to look for traces of Victor.

The demon hunter's body is different from that of ordinary people, and she belongs to a mutant race. Her vision is obviously much higher than that of ordinary humans.

But even so, Eredin didn't see Victor's shadow, and it was still too dark under the sea.

Although she was extremely unwilling to do so, Eredin also knew that she had to surface now, otherwise she herself would be in danger.

So, she reached to her waist, took out a bottle of prepared magic potion from the tied bottle, ripped off the cork and threw it out.

The things inside suddenly began to freeze when they encountered seawater. In the blink of an eye, a square ice floe appeared less than one meter in front of Eredin.

She swam to the surface following the ice floe, then climbed up, stepping on the ice and looking into the distance.

"As a seer of the Third Secret, it is stupid and embarrassing to be attacked by ordinary people. I have tried my best. Victor Damon, if you are drowned, then every year on the anniversary of your death,

I will definitely go to your graveside and laugh at you."

Eredin was talking to herself while looking for the location of the cruise ship.

She was surprised to find that the cruise ship was not far away from her. It seemed to slow down until it floated on the sea.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Eredin rested for a while and jumped into the sea again, until she finally returned to the ship.

The timing was just right. Eredin, who had just boarded the ship, witnessed the riot on the cruise ship and discovered the sneaky three cruise ship management personnel outside the corridor of the superstructure.

The captain, first mate and chief engineer were frightened and nervous. They hurriedly and slowly rushed to the engine room carrying weapons.

The commotion on the ship did not attract these people's attention. Eredin hid in a corner to observe them, noticed something strange, and followed them.

In the engine room on the ground floor, she witnessed the split between the operators and the boilermakers. Some accepted the captain's instigation and fought with other questioning workers, causing a river of blood below.

Both sides suffered almost all casualties, but the three captains who provoked the confrontation survived. Only the chief engineer was seriously injured.

At this time, Mike showed up with his people, and they clashed with the captain, causing one cabin to be damaged by the explosion and flooded.

In the chaotic situation, the captain and the first mate even tried to sneak attack on Mike and the two.

At this time, Eredin knew that he had to take action, so he jumped down from above, hung the first mate in the air, picked up the captain's fallen fire ax, and hacked the other man to death.

"It's you!"

Mike recovered from his surprise, and then he remembered to help Clark.

"Who is that?" Mike hurriedly asked Eredin as he helped the future captain of the Wind God Enlil.

Eredin knew that he was asking about Victor's whereabouts, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

She didn't tell Mike about Victor falling into the water. Mike thought the latter just disappeared, so he wasn't too worried.

Now that most of the senior staff of the Western Dawn are dead, Mike needs to regain control of the ship, so he asks Clark for advice.

However, Eredin intervened and told him something surprising.

"Maybe things are not as simple as you think..."

The witcher gently kicked the dead captain.

"They seemed to have met someone before they came here."

"Hmm...did you see anything?"

"No, but when I first boarded the ship, I encountered a commotion on the cruise ship. In the corridor outside the captain's room, I heard the voices of several of them talking to someone else."

Mike was immediately shocked: "You mean, the captain and the others have accomplices?"

"I don't know if they are accomplices, but those guys in the room must be related to the crazy behavior of the captain and first mate."

Eredin's meaning is very clear. Next, they need to go to the superstructure and find those mysterious people...



At this time, in the cruise ship's driving room, the helmsman fell in a pool of blood, and the entire room was controlled by a group of heretics wearing yellow smocks and hoods.

The infidels had become aware of it, and the chaos on the foredeck had settled down.

The ridiculous order issued by the captain was not recognized by the crew, and the plan seemed to have failed.

However, the leader of this group of pagans did not feel disappointed or vigilant.

He was the middle-aged man who was playing cards with them in the captain's room. He was playing cards alone at the moment, placing the cards on the table in front of him one by one, in a way that no one had seen before.

past rules.

"Although I am a prophet, my true destiny cannot be seen..."

He seemed to be talking to himself or chatting with his accomplices. He was placing cards and talking, but no one responded to his words.

Everyone stood silently in their respective positions, focusing their attention on him.

"The future is just the result of the present cause. If any of you are my opponent in this card game, then all I can do is simulate all future possibilities and choose the right one.

My most favorable outcome.”

"For example, if the card I play is the Jack of Hearts, then you will play the Queen of Spades, and if I play the 8 of Diamonds, you will only play the Jack of Diamonds in your hand. This is a kind of cause and effect logic.

"

"In an instant, I can simulate the sequence of cards that will allow me to win the game, and then execute it. It is in this way that the so-called 'future' is seen by me. This is the essence of 'prophecy'

."

"A subtle calculation, a lie to deceive fools."

No one was playing cards with this man, but he seemed to be teaching everyone how to play poker.

Perhaps this explanation was difficult to understand, so the man muttered to himself again and tried another way of explaining it.

"Even better, when we boarded the ship, I also saw tens of thousands of possibilities of cause and effect. For example, the gentleman who fell into the sea in front of me, what I saw was...if we couldn't solve him at that time,

, then in the next actions, the other party will cause us huge trouble..."

As he spoke, a man hiding under the hood of his smock showed his face with a mysterious smile. He was the drunkard who pushed Victor into the water on the deck!

"Now, the goal has been achieved. In order to successfully get there, we must rely on... that person's power."

"He should be coming to me soon, but the woman next to him is very troublesome, so... we have to separate them!"



Clark was placed in a safe place. After bandaging his wounds, Mike and Eredin went to the captain's room, but they did not find the person they suspected... or several mysterious people there.

However, Mike found a route map on the card table, which drew the detailed structure of the Western Dawn and drew many lines and symbols, which seemed to be the enemy's route of action.

This made Mike even more speculate that pirates had hijacked the ship. The captain, first mate, and chief engineer might have been caught by the other party and forced to cooperate with their hijacking plan.
