Chapter 797: Hijacking a Ship, a Knight Appears (Part 3)
On the surface of the Zhu Sha Group Islands, a large ship with a metallic sheen sailed against the waves. On the right side of the ship was a black poppy mark, seemingly hinting at the ship’s unusual nature.
“Are these from the Ancient God Sect? They’re damn creepy.”
“Nonsense, the ‘piglets’ in this ship’s hold are for the Ancient God Sect to deal with. They bought from us once a month ago.”
Someone replied half-heartedly…
“Damn it, this broken beam of light is making so much noise, aren’t you afraid of attracting the Dragon Hunters!”
“Afraid of what? There’s a Half Step War God Level Third Officer in the control room, and this is a War God Level…”
The crimson tide on the sea caused many people on the ship to start discussing. The tattooed sailors looked at the beam of light shooting into the sky, their throats gurgling, and a rare look of panic appeared on their fierce faces.
“Ding ding!!”
The small leader was a middle-aged man with a rough face. He scanned the condition of his subordinates, picked up the electric baton in his hand, and repeatedly knocked on the railing. A smile appeared on his stubbled face:
“This is the last shipment of eight … piglets. Once this job is done, everyone can pack up and go home, and we won’t have to work online for half a year.”
“Brother Feng, you’re right. After this job, we’ll sneak back to our country and have some fun!”
The voices of agreement below quickly followed, and laughter covered the fearful atmosphere. However, many people still looked up at the sky uneasily.
The beam of light was as terrifying as a god’s spear piercing the sky.
For these desperate fugitives who had left their homes to engage in illegal trade, the most feared thing was the saying of karma. This look of impending natural disaster was far more terrifying to their minds than law enforcement officers.
They tried to cheer themselves up, talking about how they would squander a lot of money after sneaking back to their country, when suddenly a ship’s shadow pierced through the mist.
It was a fishing boat!
On the fishing boat, a figure dressed in a black clerical robe, with an unidentifiable face and a pair of young horns on its head, held a shining branch in its hand and looked quietly in this direction.
“Esteemed sir, are you a Lord of the Ancient God Sect?”
When Brother Feng saw the clothes of the figure in front of him, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked.
“Bang!”
The figure did not speak, but leaped into the air, landing on the sea, walking on water towards the ship ahead unhurriedly, a golden cross swinging gently at its waist.
The figure’s lips parted and closed, the arc very small, but one could clearly see what was being said:
“Fine snow.”
“Chi!”
Suddenly, eight faint sword lights flashed by, a cold blue light floated, creating patches of waves. The waves were frozen into sculptures…
The next moment, Brother Feng’s body froze directly. He felt his heart skip a beat, and then he couldn’t catch his breath. His hand stretched out but finally drooped powerlessly, turning into an ice sculpture.
The eight sword qi almost precisely cleared the people on the ship. Those who were touched instantly turned into ice sculptures, then cracked and turned into dust, appearing particularly terrifying.
“Third Officer, someone is hijacking the ship!!”
A pale-faced crew member who survived on the ship ran towards the back. He was deliberately let go by the girl to find out who the real leader was…
This shout, like an arrow breaking through the dawn, completely ignited the fishing boat. The War General Level supervisor and the real leader walked out of the cabin with frowned brows. She was a woman who was not very old.
She stared at the figure holding the loquat branch in front of her, her gaze passing over the golden cross at its waist, her brow furrowed slightly, then smoothed out quickly, and she revealed an unpleasant smile:
“Esteemed Bishop, we are the ship responsible for transporting piglets. You see…”
“Did you mistake the person?”
Even with a Half Step War God Level, she did not want this kind of friendly fire. This transaction was very important, involving future cooperation with the Ancient God Sect and the suspension of human trafficking.
Upon hearing this, the horned figure stopped, raised the loquat branch slightly, and asked softly, “Are you from Southern Vietnam?”
Seeing Su Jiu’s answer, the Third Officer’s expression relaxed, and she quickly replied, “Yes…”
“Then it’s nothing.”
The horned figure chuckled, lightly tapping the water with its thick-soled shoes, and exerting force on the forefoot. With a “bang!”, the entire figure leaped out of the water, and its arm trembled fiercely as it slashed forward horizontally.
Drawing Sword Slash · Full Moon
An ice-blue sword qi suddenly appeared, like moonlight devouring darkness, grinding and rotating towards the woman, as if to cut off the upper part of the fishing boat.
“This aura is by no means that of a Black-clad Bishop. Who exactly are you!?”
Feeling the aura on the “grindstone,” the Third Officer’s expression was greatly shocked, but her body could not dodge away in time. Her eyes reflected a blood-red sword, and her head felt like it was being pricked by a needle…
Facing the approaching sword qi, she quickly closed her eyes. In this self-deception, her body only felt a sharp pain for a moment, and then she completely lost consciousness.
“Screech—”
The next moment, the second layer of the ship was cut in half. Only the operation room was avoided, and the supervisors and the Third Officer were directly cut into two pieces. The ship also stopped running, remaining quietly on the water like a lonely boat.
“Please trouble a few of you to send the hostages inside back to our island later.”
After re-examining the bottom of the ship with mental power and confirming that they were all Warrior Class, the horned figure turned around and waved to the few people on the ship she had come with.
The figure was Su Jiu, who had received information from her younger brother. She, along with several sailors, had rushed over and happened to bump into these human traffickers, sending them home together in advance.
Boss Su was not like the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, who would capture them alive one by one. In her opinion, since they chose human trafficking, it was not unfair to kill them directly.
On another fishing boat, Old Siren stepped forward a few steps, placed his hands on the railing of the fishing boat, looked back at the rolling waves, and then said,
“Your Lordship, where are you going?”
“Take this broken ship to its original destination.”
Su Jiu turned her head and replied, then leaped lightly, landing steadily on the ship. She walked into the control room and fiddled with it for a while.
“You guys take the rest of the people back.”
Seeing that it was still starting, she poked her head out and asked the Siren sailors to transport the abducted people back to the fishing boat. Among them were Half Step Battle Kings, so it was easy for them to drive a ship to transport people.
The few of them were very efficient. Verifying identities, confirming they were “piglets,” and putting on handcuffs, it was a complete process. Just as Old Siren said, they had been working in this line of work cracking down on human trafficking for a long, long time…
As the abducted people were transported out one by one, rays of excitement appeared in their eyes, as if they understood that they had been rescued and would no longer be reduced to piglets for evil cult sacrifices…
While peeking, Su Jiu also noticed that most of them were middle-aged Dragon Country people, mostly men, mixed with some women who were not good-looking. Looking at their emaciated faces, she secretly guessed that these people must have endless stories…
After all, each of them was a ‘ghost’ from that distant cave, luring new people to become ‘ghosts’ for the tiger that dwelled in the Southern Vietnam base zone.
“Your Lordship, these people have all engaged in online fraud, so they must wear silver bracelets. According to Captain A-Xing’s method, they are handed over to the inland Law Enforcement Hall for investigation, and then prosecuted by the Dragon Country authorities. They are usually sentenced to three to five years.”
Old Siren came to the door of the control room and slowly explained to the girl, who was encountering this field for the first time, his eyes lowered to the people being transported below.
This was the first time he had seen so many people. Usually, the largest trafficking group was a dozen people at most. This time, there were as many as a hundred people packed together, and he felt that this trip was different.
“Perhaps they are fortunate to be in a Dragon Country prison, because in prison, people truly don’t die.”
Su Jiu looked at these people. A new doubt arose in her heart – these people did not seem to have systematically learned about sacrifices. So what was their use?
…
On an island far from Luofu Island, a pillar was also erected, and a beam of light shot straight into the sky. However, the personnel of the Ancient God Sect here seemed to be particularly scarce, with only a group of believers silently chanting the doctrine around the pillar…
And about a thousand meters away from the pillar, a golden vortex was emitting in mid-air. Below it was a pitch-black coffin, which was half-open, with golden light falling into it from time to time.
“It’s been almost twenty years, and her consciousness hasn’t been completely assimilated yet?”
Beside the coffin were a low-level Ferryman dressed in fisherman’s clothes and a Black-clad Bishop. The voice just now came from the Black-clad Bishop.
“Because she has a hymn on her, but since the Lord of Gods sent her here, it proves…”
The Ferryman smiled, his mouth splitting open widely. This appearance seemed to be of Zichuan’s faction. He looked down and touched the side of the coffin with his fingertip.
“She has now been transformed into a Fallen Knight.”
Following his gaze, one could see a white-haired girl lying flat inside. She was wearing a pitch-black Crow Feather Attire, the crow feathers on which had already lost their luster…
“According to Lord Zichuan’s meaning, when those piglets arrive here, we can use the energy from the sacrifice to activate this high-level War God Class killing machine, and let her face the Red-clad White Crow.”
As the Ferryman was speaking, the white-haired girl suddenly opened her eyes. Her crimson eyes were filled with intense killing intent, and her mouth seemed to be very dry, and then, as if subconsciously, she uttered a sound:
“Escape…”
“What?”
The two were not of low rank, and the Ferryman even had the strength of an Initial Stage Battle God. This movement was naturally discovered, and they quickly looked down…
In an instant, the white-haired girl stood up in a strange posture. With both hands, she directly grabbed them and, without any explanation, black mist emerged from her palms.
“Boom!”
The black mist turned into flames and instantly ignited the two of them…
After killing the two, the white-haired girl then walked towards the shore, staggering as she walked. The crimson in her eyes grew more and more intense, and she muttered in a low voice:
“Am I… Lord Zichuan’s knight?”
“Yes, I am his knight.”
The white-haired girl came to the seashore, looking at the boundless black ocean. Her restlessness continued to escalate, and it seemed as if countless black mists were fighting for control of her body in her mind.
“Ugh!”
She pressed her head hard and cried out in a low voice, as if to relieve the pain. Suddenly, a dim light flashed across her brow, and it seemed like very distant fragments echoed in her ears…
Boy’s voice: “Zero, wasn’t my performance cool?”
Girl’s voice: “It was cool, but what if I become a bad person in the future?”
The boy was silent: “…”
“You’re lying to me, Zero will never become a bad person.”
The girl chuckled twice, paused, and after a long while, continued to say:
“If Zero becomes a bad person, big brother will defeat Zero with the hero’s weapon, just like in a play…”
“Okay.”
The boy softly replied. However, this reply seemed a little older, not the boy’s original voice.
“Kill me…”
She murmured. After the light on her forehead completely dissipated, the white-haired girl’s expression suddenly turned indifferent. A mass of black mist surged from her palm, transforming into a black wrist blade attached to the back of her hand, and she slowly walked towards the sacrificial area.
“According to those two, the energy will be here soon, right? Lord Zichuan’s matters cannot be delayed. Once the energy is restored, the ceremony will be carried out…”
…
Please grant me a few days off.
Lately, I’ve been busy and have had a fever. I feel very tired when I’m writing, and my mind is always blank when I’m writing. I’ve also closed my clothing store in reality and plan to take advantage of the Qingming Festival holiday to go out for a picnic and travel with my family, just like Su Jiu.
I’ll be back soon, meow.
