Kate Peterman, please call him KP for short when he introduced himself.
A Sublimator from the border of the Dark Net. The rest of his information was unknown, and his background was quite mysterious.
But thinking about the background of the border, it was normal.
In that illusory world where countless nightmares overlapped, there were violent changes all the time, and there was no one with a clean background.
Hiding one's identity was just normal etiquette, and everyone had hundreds of aliases. Who knew what the hell was behind a stranger standing in front of you?
But this person's background was obviously not small.
In less than two hours after Ai Qing reported the news, he directly got involved in the communication between the Social Security Bureau and the Astronomical Society through high-level channels, and even directly joined the operation team this time.
"But don't worry, I won't tell everyone what to do."
He said with a smile, "When necessary, I'll ensure that the operation goes smoothly, so please rest assured."
Everyone looked at the host at the head of the table, and the man nodded slowly.
"That's the situation," he said. "Although Mr. KP's identity can't be revealed, the higher-ups guarantee that he'll be of help to this operation."
He always felt that he was sneaky and didn't look like a good person.
Huai Shi looked at that smiling face curiously.
And KP seemed to have noticed his gaze, looked over, and nodded slightly at him. Huai Shi suddenly felt a little absent-minded, as if he had heard the sound of dice just now. But soon, he forgot about it.
"Then, let's not delay."
The smiling KP directly ignored the host and gave the order. "Since everyone is here, let's get ready. In ten minutes, we'll start … Ahem, let's begin."
And so, all the Sublimators involved in the operation got up and began to seize the last moment to organize their equipment.
Two Rank-3, five Rank-2, and Huai Shi, a Rank-1.
They all looked like experienced Sublimators. Except for two people who were equipped with firearms, the rest were all equipped with cold weapons, except for pistols, and looked skilled.
When they held the steel in their hands, the bloody smell in their eyes was even stronger than Huai Shi's.
"Do you see? All official operatives have a Border Hunter's license. Whether it's their own accomplishments or abilities, they're incomparable to unorthodox Ascendants of the same level. "
Ai Qing glanced at Huai Shi and reminded him, "Just go and gain some experience. Don't rush to the front like a fool."
"What are you talking about?" Yin Yan's cheeky face came out from the side and mocked, "Is Little Chrysanthemum's mother's class starting?"
He scrutinized Huai Shi's appearance and nodded in satisfaction. "No wonder cousin would kill that trash from the Qi Family for him. The little puppy really looks like it … "
Boom!
In the midst of the loud noise, everyone stiffened for a moment and looked over in astonishment. Almost all of the Ascendants subconsciously pulled out their weapons and vigilantly looked towards the source of the gunshot.
It came from Ai Qing.
In the silence, only smoke rose slowly from the muzzle.
Yin Yan stared blankly at the pitch-black barrel of the gun. Looking at the burning pain on his temples, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
"Sorry, it went off by accident. Are you okay?"
Ai Qing looked at her cousin with concern. "Is there something wrong with your mouth? If you can breathe through that big hole, I'll help you open another one. How about that? "
Yin Yan's expression changed, and his face turned ashen. He didn't say anything else and took two steps back before turning to leave.
After apologizing to the others, the other Ascendants looked away in confusion. The middle-aged host seemed to be about to speak, but in the end, he didn't get involved in the Yin Family's trouble. Moreover, at this juncture, he didn't have the energy to care about this.
Only Huai Shi stared at Ai Qing in shock. "Big sister, you're so tough."
"Do you admire me?" Ai Qing put away her pistol. "But you're the unlucky one."
"Huh?" Huai Shi was stunned.
"He's a gold-plated idiot. He won't dare to fall out with me, but he'll most likely vent his anger on you." Ai Qing reminded him softly. "Be careful. Don't get shot in the back."
Outside the cabin, Yin Yan looked at his staff member who was leaning against the deck and smoking. "Do it cleanly, understand? Don't let anyone catch you. "
The smoking staff member nodded and grinned silently, revealing his sharp canine teeth.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
No one said anything.
In the silence, only the sound of KP rolling dice could be heard.
Soon, the six Ascendants went down the rope ladder to the speedboat.
When Huai Shi stepped on the deck of the speedboat, he saw a blur in front of his eyes.
The originally huge cargo ship disappeared in an instant. Even on the radar, there was no trace of it. He could only vaguely see the distorted air with his naked eye.
Only when he touched it with his hand, it was still there.
Old Xiao gave a few simple instructions, especially to Huai Shi, who was doing this for the first time. Then, he started the yacht and headed for the deepest part of the vast ocean.
After the novelty of the beginning, Huai Shi felt a little dizzy sitting in the chair. His stomach kept churning, and his face was pale.
He was seasick.
Soon, he was lying on the side of the boat and vomiting. Clement, who was next to him, could only sigh and hand him a tissue.
"Ha, an Ascendant can actually get seasick."
Old Xiao's assistant, the boorish man, was amused. He patted Huai Shi's shoulder heavily. "Why don't you stay here and wait for us to come back?"
Huai Shi raised his head and opened his mouth to say something, but then he vomited even more violently.
Soon, faint lights appeared in front of them.
The lights of the ship.
They could hear music coming from the deck from afar. It sounded like some kind of PATTY. It was very lively.
Everyone looked at the huge ship on the waves in astonishment, dumbfounded.
Those smugglers really had a lot of nerve.
They were actually openly smuggling relics from the border on a passenger ship?
This was completely different from what they had been told …
But there was no doubt that there was only one ship on this route, and it was absolutely impossible for anything to go wrong here. Although the description of the ship's hull was slightly off, after they reported the situation to the command ship, they received the order to continue the operation.
They looked at each other.
Old Xiao, who was the oldest, was the first to speak. "Then let's follow the plan and change the details. Yuan Long will go with me and directly carry out the mission. Lei Feizhou and Ni Heng will be in charge of support. Clement and Huai Shi, you two … Forget it. Find an opportunity to blend in with the passengers. If anything unusual happens, be ready to provide support at any time."
As he spoke, he looked down at his watch. "It's now 11: 40. We'll start the operation in five minutes. If you have any questions, hurry up and ask."
"Uh … Old Xiao."
Huai Shi hesitated and raised his hand. Resisting the bone-piercing chill that had filled his body at some point, he squeezed out a smile with difficulty. "I don't feel … too good …"
In an instant, everyone's gazes turned to disdain.
"If you're the one who's afraid, you can go back first," Lei Feizhou, who had just teased him, said indifferently. "In any case, you're not included."
Huai Shi didn't say anything. He sat at the back, shivering.
His face was ashen from the cold.
After turning off the motor, Yuan Long, who was sitting next to Old Xiao, reached into the water. An undercurrent surged and dragged the ship forward quickly, quietly approaching the cruise ship.
A few of the Ascenders glanced at each other and quietly climbed up.
When Clement went up, he looked at the shivering Huai Shi and sighed. He handed his gun to him. "Take this for self-defense. If you really can't …"
He paused for a moment. "You should go back."
He also went up.
In the silence, Huai Shi raised his head with difficulty and stared at the huge shadow of the ship. He felt as if the pitch-black silhouette was going to swallow him up. The melodious melody coming from the deck seemed to have turned into ear-piercing notes, mixed with a hoarse whisper. But when he listened carefully, he couldn't hear it clearly.
Suddenly, a scream came from the deck.
Then, it was silent again.
Only a figure fell from above. With a bang, he fell into the water and gradually floated up. With the help of the light, Huai Shi caught a glimpse of the lifeless face.
It was Old Xiao.
In that instant, he stood up abruptly, reached out to start the motor, and clumsily maneuvered the speedboat to turn around and leave.
It was impossible for him to get on the ship.
It was impossible for him to get on the ship in this lifetime …
He clearly knew that there was a ghost on the ship, yet he still forced his way in. Moreover, the premonition of death this time was so terrifying. It was as if it was urging him to die. If he still dared to act rashly, there would be a ghost.
As the speedboat gradually moved away, Huai Shi finally felt a little more comfortable. The evil chill instantly disappeared.
It was like a reward for making the right choice.
He heaved a sigh of relief and looked back at the dark shadow of the cruise ship behind him.
He shivered.

When Huai Shi stepped on the deck of the speedboat, he saw a blur in front of his eyes.
The originally huge cargo ship disappeared in an instant. There was no trace of it even on the radar. He could only vaguely see the distorted air with the naked eye.
Only when he touched it with his hand, it was still there.
"How strange." Huai Shi sighed. "What kind of magic is this?"
"It's just a phase-shielding technique from those scholars. There's nothing strange about it. You won't think much of it when you see more of it." Lei Feizhou, who acted as if they were close friends, patted him on the shoulder. "Young man, you're so young and promising."
"No, no, I'm new here. Big brother, you're too arrogant."
Huai Shi hurriedly took out a can of Coke from his chest pocket and handed it over. Old Xiao didn't say anything. Seeing that they were familiar with each other, he briefly reiterated the plan. Then, he reminded Huai Shi of some things to pay attention to and turned off the motor.
Yuan Long reached out into the sea. Immediately, an undercurrent surged and carried the speedboat forward quickly.
Clement looked at Huai Shi in confusion and asked, "Have we met somewhere before?"
"Huh?" Stunned, Huai Shi immediately shook his head frantically. "No, no, I've never seen a foreigner in my life. Big brother, you must have remembered wrongly. Come, have some melon seeds."
As he spoke, he stuffed another handful of melon seeds into Luke's mouth.
Then, for some reason, he shivered.
He seemed to be a little seasick.
