* Whoosh. *
An invisible radio signal mixed with the ship's own radio signal was sent out. No one knew.
"I've investigated. The family of Lin Sheng that you're looking for are all on my ship. This box will continuously send out a location signal for three hours. My mission is complete. I hope you'll keep your promise and pay me. "
The man leaned against the box and whispered.
"Don't worry." A voice came out of the box.
This thing was a satellite phone in disguise!
"If we confirm that the information you provided is true, your reward will be called immediately." The voice replied.
"Okay!" The man nodded. He quickly got up and packed his things. He threaded the ring with a thin thread and hung it around his neck.
Then he changed into the diving suit he prepared in advance, put on a simple oxygen mask, and put on a black sweater and pants. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
The person on the other side did not pick up. After the tone rang three times, the call was hung up.
The man understood. He walked out of the room empty-handed and headed for the deck at the stern.
Khadula and Chen Minjia were chatting at the bow of the ship. This was the best time for him to escape.
The man walked briskly, and he kept greeting the people he met along the way.
Sailors, waiters, and even passengers he did not know, he smiled and behaved calmly.
Soon, at the end of the corridor in front of him, a white painted metal door appeared.
This door was the other exit of the cabin, which led to the stern.
The man could not help but smile. He grabbed the valve and turned it hard.
* Poof. *
The round valve on the door turned and slowly opened outwards.
There was no one outside. The strong sea breeze kept blowing in.
The man covered his eyes and quickly walked out of the cabin toward the railing at the stern.
He pulled down his mask and took out a metal wire catapult from his pocket. He fixed one end to the railing and the other to a spot on his diving suit.
Then he skillfully flipped over the railing, pulled the metal wire, and slid down.
As he slid down, the metal wire suddenly got stuck.
He pulled it, but it did not budge.
"Do you need help?"
A white-haired girl hanging in the air on the right asked.
"Ugh …" The man scratched his head and smiled. "No need. It should be a small problem."
He pulled hard, and sure enough, the thread was fine again. He heaved a sigh of relief and continued to hang down.
Soon, he passed by a little girl on his left. A little girl passed by on the right, another little girl passed by on the left, and another little girl passed by on the right.
"…"
The man suddenly froze. His face quickly turned ashen.
Ka ka ka …
Slowly, stiffly, he turned his neck and looked to his right.
There was even a white-haired little girl hanging there.
The girl also turned her head and smiled at him.
…
…
Lin Sheng woke up from his daze. The ticking of the second hand gradually faded away and disappeared.
He returned to Blackfeather City's Magic Research Institute.
He held two flaming double-edged swords in his hands. The flames on the swords were extremely dim, as if they were about to be extinguished.
But as Lin Sheng regained consciousness, the two burning swords quickly became much brighter, emitting sparks.
He stood up from the ground and looked at the metal discs on the ground beside him. The discs were still there.
Holding the sword, he slowly walked to the second door on the right and gently threw the sword against the door.
Poof!
A blast of electrical light mixed with flames immediately erupted, as if it was the light of an olden era camera. Followed by thick smoke.
Soon, the smell of burnt leather wafted in the air.
The flaming sword that Lin Sheng threw fell to the ground, the flames extinguished, and the blade seemed to be corroded by something, rusting.
Lin Sheng gently pushed against the door with the other sword.
Creak, creak, creak.
There seemed to be the sound of metal scraping inside.
The door also seemed to be blocked by something. There was only a small gap, and it could not be pushed open.
Lin Sheng frowned, alarm bells ringing in his mind.
The sound came from the room again.
Creak … creak … creak …
It was like a metal swing played by children in the park, swinging and making a harsh grinding sound.
The hall was silent. Only the sound of friction could be heard.
Lin Sheng took a step back and slashed at the door with all his might.
Clang!
There was a loud noise.
The door was split in half from the middle and flew inward.
The room was dark.
Whoosh!
A pitch-black humanoid monster with a single eye on its head suddenly pounced out of the door like a cheetah.
Amidst the loud noise, Lin Sheng took another step back and accurately slashed at the monster with the flaming sword in his hand.
Bam!
The monster's entire body exploded, blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Lin Sheng did not manage to dodge it, and his face was completely drenched.
He wiped the blood off his face and slowly walked into the dark room. The flame on the flaming sword moved, and with the injection of Saint power, it quickly rose.
The red flame illuminated everything in the room.
This room was completely different from the others.
There was a child's bed, a metal swing, a black leather ball, and a few broken metal chains on the wall. Each chain was as thick as a baby's arm.
Lin Sheng took a few steps forward and got closer to the bed to take a look.
There was a dirty and bloodstained child's dress on the bed. It looked red.
There was a round metal plate on the side of the dress.
He picked up the plate and covered his palm with Saint power to protect it from poison.
After leaving the room, Lin Sheng took a closer look at the plate.
'… So hungry … Is there anyone outside? Is there anyone??
Don't tell me they've forgotten me …??
'Something is approaching!'
'Here they come again! They're here again!! '
There were messy bloody marks on the bottom, which seemed to have been scratched by claws.
"It seems to be a diary entry of someone who was locked up." Lin Sheng put down the plate. "Looks like the people in the research center ran away in the end, leaving only a few things that they did not manage to take away."
He continued to walk to the remaining doors and opened them one by one using the method he used before.
In the remaining doors, there was either a four-horned monster with a flaming sword or a one-eyed monster that was locked up.
Soon, Lin Sheng collected the rest of the discs about the Saint power pool.
But in the last room, he found many empty cabinets and boxes. Everything inside had been taken away.
In the entire research center, aside from a few monsters and a few heavy metal plates, there were very few things left.
With all the metal plates, Lin Sheng used the flaming sword to borrow the light and returned to the round stone platform at the entrance.
He then put all the discs together and prepared to go through the memory.
Lin Sheng quickly found something fishy when he compared it to the blueprint.
"This … is the map of the entire Blackfeather City?" He carefully recalled the map.
"The nodes above should be the areas that need to be suppressed. If we focus on suppressing them, does that mean that there are powerful non-human monsters in these areas? "
Even the Steel Lord had to rely on the formation to imprison these non-human monsters, so one could only imagine how powerful they were.
Lin Sheng counted carefully.
The entire Blackfeather City was like a huge tomb, and there were four nodes on it. The one in the center was where the Steel Lord was.
The other three were scattered around the city.
