"Since the ghost fleet is so powerful...how powerful must the world government be to destroy such a powerful fleet..."
Raymond swallowed.
He has not forgotten that he has inherited an ultimate mission.
Hostile to the camp of the Twelve Sages, hostile to the entire world government...
like...
seem...
perhaps...
Have you taken on an impossible mission?
Eileen on the side obviously didn't know the origin of this mysterious fleet that suddenly appeared, and was shocked.
After being stunned for a moment, she recovered from the shock, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "What was that just now?"
Raymond looked far away and said lightly: "Ghost Fleet!"
Irene seemed to have heard of it and said in surprise: "The ghost fleet of 'Sea Emperor' Delos?"
"Um!"
"I didn't expect the legend to be true! May the heroes live forever..."
Erin's tone was a little strange, and there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions hidden in her eyes.
Raymond suddenly had a doubt in his mind. The world of navigation is so big, why did this ghost ship island happen to appear in the Black Sea?
Is there any special hidden plot?
...
At the same time, aboard the Hux Vulture.
Not long after Raymond and the others left,
A man wearing an eight-hole blue steel mask suddenly appeared in the bedroom of the group leader Jeff.
He had a weird smile when he spoke, and his voice was as harsh as steel rubbing against each other.
"I originally thought that I would come see you in a day after I finished my work here... I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative."
"You...why are you here?"
A flash of panic flashed across Jeff's face, and he naturally recognized this "employer".
He instantly recognized that this was an extraordinary person, and his rank was not low.
Since he can appear in his bedroom so quietly, it doesn't seem to be difficult to kill him.
I thought I would avoid him by changing the course, but unexpectedly I bumped into him.
The masked man was not interested in nagging, so he got straight to the point: "Where is the thing I want?"
"Originally, I had already obtained it. The notebook was kept by my first mate...but there was an explosion when he was doing experiments. People died, and the notebook...the notebook was also missing."
After Jeff said this, he suddenly felt as if the air around him was stagnant, and the huge pressure made it slightly difficult for him to breathe.
I am an extraordinary person with the top level of Sequence 7, why am I so miserable when facing this person?
He finally understood,
This is the absolute pressure brought by the gap in rank!
The masked man in front of him only gave out a slight breath, but he couldn't bear the slightest desire to resist.
Then the extraordinary sequence level of this masked man may be much higher than mine.
"Take me to the laboratory to have a look."
After pondering for a moment, the iron-faced man restrained his murderous intent, and his tone remained cold and unwavering.
This group of pirates changed their course without permission, and there was obviously something fishy involved.
But he has no interest in pursuing it, they are just a bunch of ants that can be killed easily.
The most urgent task is to find the "forbidden object".
If he wasn't worried about that guy in Phillip's territory, he could just go there himself, and he wouldn't have to go to the trouble of hiring such a weak little pirate group and causing so much trouble.
It would be really bad if these stupid pirates dropped the "forbidden object" into the sea because of an explosion or something...
...
Youke's laboratory was in chaos due to the explosion, and after the pirates trampled on it later, the traces were already in chaos.
The body has been collected and has not yet been buried at sea.
The man in the iron mask observed all the traces in the laboratory. Although he did not find any clues about the notebook, he also found something else.
"Are there traces of phosphorus-rich gunpowder..."
The man with the iron mask twisted some of the explosion embers between his fingers and sniffed it under his nose.
Then his intuition made him stare at the pipe for a long time. There were traces of someone climbing here, and the residue of the medicine on the pipe had been wiped by clothes.
"Where does this ventilation duct lead?"
"have no idea..."
Jeff's eyes dodged and he answered tremblingly.
He saw that the man in the iron mask had a wrong tone, and hurriedly explained: "Sir, this ship island is very old. It has been renovated and renovated countless times, and the design drawings of the ventilation ducts have long been lost..."
"Climb up, follow the traces, and see where it leads."
The man in the iron mask was not interested in listening to his ramblings, so he pointed at the pipe and gave instructions in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Jeff's face twitched when he heard this. He was a great leader of a pirate group, but he actually let himself crawl into a pipe?
He has never suffered such humiliation since he became a pirate!
The man in the iron mask said softly, "What, is there a problem?"
"No...no, sir."
Jeff felt as if the moment he hesitated just now was just a thin line away from hell.
The feeling of death that enveloped my heart was getting stronger and stronger, as if someone was holding a sharp knife between my eyebrows.
Having said that, even though he didn't want to, he could only bite the bullet and crawl into the ventilation duct.
...
Half an hour later.
The man in the iron mask appeared in the prison cabin where Raymond and the other three were previously held.
There was a corpse with its throat cut at the door, and a corpse in the cell whose head was shot with a musket.
If Jeff hadn't followed the pipeline to find this place, they might not have discovered what was going on here until a long time later.
"Jie Jie, depending on the situation, the one who saves people should be the Sequence 7 Transcendant 'Shadow Sneak'... But why would he go to the trouble of killing another person with a musket?"
"It's strange... the shadow guard came in through the main entrance, who made this passage... why was he able to find the laboratory accurately?"
As the pirate leader said, the ventilation ducts are as complicated as a maze.
Moreover, there are no unnecessary traces of exploration inside the pipeline.
Apparently the man who climbed the pipe knew the right way the first time and found the laboratory directly.
The man in the iron mask glanced at the wound on the corpse at the door and roughly judged the strength of the intruder.
But since he could kill the guard silently, there was no need to use a musket to kill another minion.
The only explanation is that the guy whose head was shattered by a musket was killed by someone else.
"Sir, that shadow guard should be Grand Duke Philip's exclusive shadow guard..."
At this moment, Jeff was lying on the ground, kneeling down to answer, covered in cold sweat.
There was no extra emotion on his face, only humble obedience, like a loyal old dog.
...
A quarter of an hour ago.
"Captain, what's wrong, the ghost ship passing by just now alarmed the sea kings on the bottom of the sea, and the artillery didn't repel it. I think... we are going to be sunk!"
The movement of the ghost fleet was very noisy, and the giant sea kings lurking on the bottom of the sea were too overwhelmed to dare to show their heads.
Now that the fleet has left, they appear to be stimulated and emerge from the sea to release pressure frantically.
And what happened to appear next to the Vulture Pirate Island was a giant sea king, the one-horned thunder eel.
The lightning horn on its forehead can easily pierce the steel deck.
Just its length above the sea exceeds 300 meters, overlooking all the pirates on the island...
Such a behemoth, even if the Hux Vulture is capable of repelling it, both sides will lose.
The furious Sea Kings were about to attack the ship island, but what they saw was that the ship would sink and everyone would die.
Everyone was despairing.
But when this group of pirates were helpless,
The masked man who was always calm took action.
He walked onto the deck and glanced at the raging thunder eels.
As if his eyes were magical, this sea king with a huge body suddenly froze.
Draw the knife and moan softly.
Like a death ode.
"Waltz to the Moon."
Then, just one knife.
The gorgeous silver moon sword flashed past, its brilliance was dazzling.
It disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Before the pirates of the Vulture Pirates had time to be shocked, their eyes were covered by a rain of blood.
The blood of the sea kings splashed all over the deck,
The huge head fell onto the deck, the body sank into the sea, and the head was separated.
Cut it in two.
Accompanied by a long, desperate cry of the sea king.
Blood has infected large areas of the sea.
At this time, this group of pirates realized that the mysterious masked man who suddenly appeared on the deck was terrifyingly powerful.
...
The man in the mask with a knife, a lot of blood...
Isn't this the scene that the boy "predicted" before?
It turned out that the boy they used to test the medicine had really awakened his precognitive ability.
