Chapter 429 The Trash Girl Who Always Flips Over
“Is there no way? What did Uncle Electric say?”
The information reaching his ears made Andre frown. His relaxed body stood up, and he walked towards the metal cage, asking the overalls boy who was with him.
“Uncle Electric has nowhere to use his capabilities. He couldn’t find any electronic devices or doors on the entire surface of the object, as if the purpose of this cage building was never meant to be opened.”
The overalls boy’s expression was a bit subtle, and he pointed to his companion who was sitting nearby playing with a computer, explaining with some helplessness.
Then he pointed to the other side and the metal drill rig mounted on top, and continued to speak.
“The only method we can think of right now is to use the drill to grind down the metal on the surface, and then use the debris to smelt drills of the same material. That should be able to break the cage, but it would take a lot of time…”
“Then let’s forget it for now. I’ll try again when we get to land.”
Andre waved his hand, refusing the suggestion of his subordinate. He now had a general understanding of the situation. The plan proposed by the boy was indeed feasible, but the trouble and time it would take were too much for the people who were currently rescuing.
Andre had already tried his own capabilities earlier, but it was difficult to exert his full strength in the underwater environment at that time, and the collapse of the volcano did not cause much damage. It was even less possible on the ship now. The only result would be that before the cage was broken, the cruise ship carrying it would be sunk by himself.
Indicating for his subordinate to continue trying to break the cage, Andre turned and walked into the captain’s room, leaving the overalls boy carrying a pile of machines on the deck bustling about, and the scattered team members resting in the shade.
Feeling the ship’s speed gradually stabilize, Kazumi, who felt the coffin she was sitting on was a bit uncomfortable, jumped down. She moved her body listlessly. Seeing Andre leaving the deck, the young girl thought for a moment and slowly walked towards the center of the deck where the metal cage was located.
She walked up to the sphere that had flattened a section of the ship’s cabin. Before she could get any closer, a surge of heat wave hit her, forcing her to dodge backward.
It was hard to imagine how an object dragged from the deep sea could maintain such a high temperature. Looking at the almost melted junction where the metal sphere touched the deck, Kazumi marveled. If nothing else, going out on missions was very helpful in enriching one’s experience.
“Miss [Coffin].”
A call came from behind, interrupting Kazumi, who was about to approach the metal cage. The young girl turned her head in the direction of the voice, and a man wearing a metal mask was sent over by a robotic arm.
“Ah, sorry to disturb your work. I was just curious and wanted to take a look.”
Seeing that her actions were discovered, Kazumi quickly apologized to the overalls boy in front of her with an apologetic tone.
“You didn’t disturb me. I’ve almost finished my previous work, and now I’m just trying a few things. I mainly wanted to remind Miss [Coffin] that this metal ball has a very high temperature and hardness, and approaching it carelessly might get you burned.”
Perhaps because Kazumi had helped that fleshy mountain man in the previous battle, the young girl could clearly feel the goodwill released by the entire [Spike] team towards her. Even her slightly overstepping behavior was not taken too seriously. Instead, she was reminded of safety.
“Thank you. So… is the target of our rescue inside this sphere this time?”
Kazumi nodded and thanked him. She pretended to think for a moment, then raised her head and asked with a hesitant tone.
Kazumi had heard the conversation between Andre and the overalls boy from a distance, and she knew that the situation was such that the hard metal cage could not be opened for the time being. Now, the overalls boy’s actions were more like trying from a different angle. Moreover, as an external helper, theoretically, the boy, who was likely to be of a young age, would probably accept her conversation.
“Yeah, it would be great if we could open the cage on the ship. Otherwise, when we get ashore, the boss will have to carry this thing, which will be troublesome during combat.”
This was why Kazumi liked young boys. Fickle, active, sincere and kind, in short, they were easy to deceive.
After using all her abilities without breaking the cage, the boy’s mission was essentially completed. He was still trying here now just to share some of the burden for his boss.
And for the boy, who was already quite bored, being approached by a mysterious woman who had the buffs of “organization’s external helper” and “friendly person who helped the group’s uncle” was quite attractive. He sprayed his spray gun a few times on the metal wall, turned to look at Kazumi, and answered.
“Do you know which Master is inside?”
Green energy covered her right hand, and Kazumi extended her hand forward. Even after all the energy was exhausted, she couldn’t touch the metal wall itself. She quickly retracted her hand, ending the attempt, and then asked naturally.
“I don’t know. I heard the boss say that he was an old senior in the organization even before he joined. How could we newcomers know the specifics?”
Seeing that Kazumi’s attempt did not lead to any accidents, the overalls boy lowered his guard, shrugged indifferently, and revealed this not-so-important information.
“Is that so…”
Integrating this piece of news with the content she obtained from the mission intelligence earlier, Kazumi’s right hand gathered energy again, and a dark black coffin, more than a person tall, slowly rose from under the deck, standing beside the young girl’s thin and small body.
“Then… can I try?”
“Try?”
Seeing the coffin emitting black energy beside the young girl, the overalls boy was stunned for a moment and repeated what Kazumi said. But soon, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he asked impatiently.
“Right, Miss [Coffin], you have spatial abilities, don’t you? Maybe there’s a chance!”
“Spatial abilities might not work, but abilities to penetrate objects might.”
Kazumi nodded calmly, briefly explained her abilities, and looked at the man in front of her with a seeking gaze. This could be considered a small attempt by the young girl after understanding the intelligence. If she could really use her abilities to rescue this strong practitioner who had connections with the organization’s boss, the credit would be considerable.
Moreover, even if we take a step back, even if the person inside is a ruthless and amoral supervillain, Andre’s displayed abilities and personality are enough for Kazumi to make such a decision. It is deemed necessary to make a strong practitioner’s favor.
“Then I’ll trouble Miss [Coffin] to try. If it really succeeds, it will be a great help.”
The robotic arm disintegrated in the air, and the scattered parts condensed into a protective bracket in front of the young girl, seeming to be to resist possible attacks. The people resting nearby were also attracted by the sound, and looked over in twos and threes.
“Mm.”
After receiving permission, Kazumi said no more superfluous words, just nodded, and the coffin beside her slowly floated up, bit by bit approaching the spherical metal cage in front of her in mid-air.
The black gas wrapped around the coffin body intertwined with the heat emitted by the sphere’s surface. The scorching high temperature did not affect the [Black Coffin], which was already a dead object. Finally, the two slowly touched each other, and then it was as if they had entered a liquid. The dark black coffin, though slow and difficult, entered the indestructible metal cage at a visible speed.
“It succeeded!”
Unable to help but exclaim, the overalls boy walked excitedly to Kazumi’s side. As long as there was a method to enter the metal, even if Kazumi’s abilities couldn’t go further, he had many ways to break the cage from the inside.
“Not good!”
Just as the boy was about to thank Kazumi, a terrified cry suddenly sounded from beside him. The huge coffin was rapidly pulled out from the inside under the energy output, as if trying to dodge something, and quickly retreated in front of its owner.
But the moment the coffin was completely withdrawn from the metal wall, an energy that was chilling to the soul erupted from the metal wall in front of everyone.
“Boom—”
Terrifying ice energy spread out from the coffin at this moment. The instantaneous outburst even caught Little Black in the girl’s body off guard. She could only watch the violent ice crystal storm getting closer and closer in her vision.
[I was careless!]
At this moment, Kazumi’s mind was filled with regret. No matter how many times the young girl had guarded herself, she never expected that the sealed prison, which had been holding prisoners for decades, could still contain such a high concentration of energy.
Even though Kazumi retracted immediately the moment she felt something was wrong, it was like a pressurized sealed container found a small opening, and the energy was released so quickly that even nerve reactions could not keep up.
“Boom—— ——”
Suddenly, a blast even stronger than the previous one exploded in front of her again. The sharp wind blew past her, but the expected bone-chilling ice did not appear.
Raising her head blankly and looking forward, what greeted the young girl’s eyes was the ice crystal space exuding endless cold, and the blind giant standing in front of everyone, as tall as a wall.
And if one’s gaze could be projected to the sky above the stopped cruise ship, one would see the front section of the ship completely frozen, with the front section of the ship completely frozen, with the front section of the ship completely frozen as a dividing line where Andre stood, and the giant ice spikes piercing the sky!
(ps: Thank you all for your concern. I am currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment in the hospital, but I can’t really lie in bed every day, can I? If I can update, I will try my best to write something. Finally, I also hope everyone is healthy. Only when you are sick can you truly understand the importance of health. QAQ)
