Chapter 416 New Executive
In a shadowy corner near the Lingyuan City port, a young girl in a black robe disdainfully dealt with the slightly grotesque brown mucus on her body, while coldly looking at the short-haired young boy beside her who was apologizing to her.
Kazumi now probably understood what the other party meant by being unfriendly to girls, but the problem was that this vomit-inducing dizziness and strangely colored mucus would cause physiological discomfort to anyone, regardless of gender.
“Sorry, I could only use this to get here quickly. If it’s convenient, you can use these to clean up.”
The Bug Wielder, as if prepared for this situation, took out a small bottle of cleaning spray and a towel from his pocket and handed them over.
“It’s fine.”
Kazumi shrugged indifferently and accepted the offer. Although the things were disgusting, they didn’t have too much of an impact on the young girl. She manipulated the Human Skin Cloak to absorb the mucus on her body, and then used the cleaning spray to deal with the smell before ignoring it further.
“Well, if you still feel uncomfortable, you can take a shower on the ship later. We’ll just exchange mission content tonight, and there’s nothing else.”
Thanks to being a capability user herself, the Bug Wielder did not have the unpleasant memory of swimming in the digestive tract of a tunnel worm like the young girl did. His body was still as clean and refreshing as before. As if considering her identity as a woman, he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and pointed to the luxurious cruise ship docked at the nearby port as he spoke.
“On the ship? Is our target at sea?”
Following the direction the boy pointed, what entered Kazumi’s field of vision was a huge luxury cruise ship. The luxurious lights and the scattered crowds visible on the deck made it clear that it was a luxury item that her world could not afford to come into contact with.
“Uh, I guess so. It’s hard for me to explain the specifics clearly. Someone will explain the mission content to you specifically when we get on board.”
The Bug Wielder paused with some difficulty and explained. Then, the expression on his face changed again. A pair of eyes resembling a fly’s compound eyes appeared out of nowhere on his human face. He stretched his head to look around and then returned to his original appearance.
He reached into his waist bag with his right hand again. This time, Kazumi clearly saw the boy’s actions. He opened a small round cage inside, and something like a small black dot flew out crookedly.
The fluorescent green capability condensed from the Bug Wielder’s hand again. Slowly, a flying mosquito as large as a small pony appeared in front of the two of them. Its slender, sharp mouthparts and the fuzz on its legs were enough to make one’s face tingle just by looking at it.
“Ah, I’ve used up most of the flying insects from the last mission. How about you make do with this one for now, [Coffin]?”
He pursed his lips and rummaged through the small box. The boy had no choice but to clasp his hands together and apologize again, while making a gesture indicating that Kazumi could hold onto the mosquito’s abdomen to fly to the distant ship.
“……”
Kazumi gave the boy, who was trying to summon another flying mosquito for her, a scrutinizing look as if he were an idiot. After confirming that he was not joking, she raised her hand with a dark expression, and a portal shining with an eerie green light appeared in front of them.
“Tell me, which part of the ship can avoid those tourists?”
……..
In the warehouse of the Bidean’s lower deck, with a flash of green light, the young girl in the black robe and the young boy with a strange green face appeared abruptly in the gap between the杂物.
“Hoo—”
Kazumi also noticed his abnormality. Just as he was about to succumb to his urge to vomit, she dispelled the death energy attached to her body from passing through the Ghost Gate, allowing the boy to catch his breath.
“Hoo— Hoo— Your ability also has a lot of side effects!”
Breathing in the fresh air greedily, the corrosive aura from that moment made the boy feel like he had faced death. Although there were no problems with his body now, the psychological turmoil at that moment was very intense, and he couldn’t help but complain to the black-robed girl in front of him.
“Likewise.”
Kazumi waved her hand indifferently and pushed open the warehouse door. The face hidden under the cloak, however, showed a hint of a triumphant smile, which was also a form of revenge for what happened with the tunnel worm.
“Eh, wait for me. It’s not good if the guests see your attire.”
Seeing Kazumi push open the door and walk out, the Bug Wielder also perked up and hurriedly followed.
After all, the subordinates of this [Shell] adult were not like them; they were the kind who were unwilling to reveal their true faces. If the girl’s bizarre black robe attire were seen on the ship, it would arouse suspicion. It wouldn’t be good if their purpose for this trip was exposed because of it.
When the boy rushed out in a panic, he saw the black-robed girl standing calmly in place, waiting for something.
After sweeping the boy with a gaze that seemed to see him as trash, Kazumi slowly raised her head, revealing the smooth, fair chin and jade neck beneath her cloak.
“Lead the way.”
……..
With the boy, who was familiar with the ship’s layout, leading the way, there were no problems with their subsequent route. After about seven or eight minutes, Kazumi and the boy stopped, standing in front of the captain’s room, which was clearly decorated differently from other rooms.
“You can go straight in. The elder is quite easy to get along with. Sister Cai should tell you what to pay attention to.”
“Yeah, thanks for your trouble. Go back and rest early.”
Kazumi waved her hand gently as a thank you and said no more before directly pushing open the door and walking into the captain’s room.
The Bug Wielder was left at the door with a strange expression, looking at the closed door in front of him. He inexplicably clenched his left fist and hit his right hand, muttering in confusion.
“Why in the end, do I feel like I’ve become a subordinate?”
Meanwhile, Kazumi finally met the leader of this mission, the executive named [Spike].
In the living room of the large captain’s room, a tall man sat leisurely. The loose judo uniform could not hide his terrifying shoulder width, and the flesh revealed between the collar emitted a wild aura like an ancient fierce beast. What was most striking was the white bandage on the man’s face that completely bound his eyes.
As if sensing that the room door had been opened, the man slowly stood up. His tall figure even reached the ceiling of the room. Only when he walked up to Kazumi could she feel the greater sense of overwhelming presence than he appeared. A dark face grinned.
“A newcomer under [Shell]? You can call me Andre.”
