Chapter 292 Chapter 290 · "Soul Hunter"
"what happened?"
"what is inside……"
There was a little panicked discussion among the people, and the high-decibel screams of the crew came out again:
"Soul... the soul clan—"
"There are soul races - on this ship!"
Like a thunderbolt exploded in the crowd, the crowd panicked instantly.
"——Isn't this the great Yate? The Yate, which carries the future hope of the empire, how could there be souls mixed into it!?"
"The soul race of the Yate Empire is almost extinct, why..."
"It's over, it's over, it's over! There are still two full days before we reach the sea city, and I don't know how many people will die during this period..."
After learning the news of the attack by the soul race, the faces of the singing and dancing people instantly changed, like a group of sheep afraid of natural enemies.
Su Mingan didn't know why these people were so scared. He only saw the system information introduction, but he didn't understand the horror of the soul race.
He approached the room where the incident had occurred, peering through the open door.
A faint smell of blood came from inside, and dark red blood oozes on the floor.
In the room, on the extremely uneven bed, lay a woman who was dying with regret.
There were two small holes on the woman's neck, and a few drops of blood remained on them.Her face was pale and her eyes were dull, as if her soul had been taken away by someone.
But the terrifying race that caused his death has disappeared without a trace.
... Is this the death of a person attacked by the soul clan?
It is said that the soul race feeds on human blood and souls. The appearance of this woman is indeed that the soul has been drained.
Su Mingan didn't know if the so-called soul clan would be his biggest enemy to pass the level perfectly, but judging by people's emotions, the soul clan seemed very scary.
"cold……"
At some point, Saya came to his side.
She clutched his clothes tightly with her hands, looking terrified.
"The soul race has actually mixed into the great Yate..." There was great panic in her eyes: "What on earth should we do?"
"Don't panic." Su Ming'an said: "After a ten-day voyage, the dead who were attacked by the soul clan have only appeared until now, which means that there are not many soul clans mixed into the Yate, and it is very likely that there is only one. TA cannot cooperate Combat, so we don’t take action until the last moment.”
"..." Saya's eyelids drooped slightly: "Rin, I also hope there is only one. If the number increases, the number of casualties will increase..."
She looked at the woman's death and turned her head away: "If the soul race wants to survive, they must prey on humans on a regular basis. Although they can temporarily suppress their appetite, as long as they open this attack, the next victim will only be killed." There will be more and more..."
She continued, with some sadness in her voice:
"They... possess the power to completely crush human beings. Unless they are soul hunters, ordinary human beings can't fight them at all... Moreover, what I am more worried about is that this is the Yate, the hope of the empire. A great hunter of the soul race, but the soul race is good at disguising, if they are not caught, there will be no peace on board, and our ship of hope will be torn apart..."
She raised her head and sighed softly in his ear:
"Rin...it seems that we have to protect ourselves for the next two days."
Listening to her words, Su Mingan understood the importance of the Art Stone.
It is the only method that can accurately identify the soul race, but the number is extremely rare.So that it can only be used to identify some suspicious people.
As for those large numbers of civilians, although they have also passed strict audits and are guarded by special personnel, they have not been identified by the Ater Stone after all, and there is also the possibility of being mixed into the soul race.
Art Stones are precious, important...and scarce.
Even Saya only held a small one in her hand.
Su Mingan didn't know why he, a down and out nobleman, would own one.
The two were talking near the door, when they suddenly saw a group of people coming down from the cabin to conduct identity checks on the people gathered in the hall.
People were forced to stop the music, take off their masks, and stand in line for inspection, like a group of prisoners waiting for interrogation.
Saya wanted to drag him into the crowd, but was caught in an instant.
"……Miss?"
An old voice came from a row of interrogators in pitch-black uniforms.
That was the old housekeeper who was with Saya before.At this time, he was wearing a transparent star on his chest, and he was carrying a black item like a sword bag on his back - that was the exclusive attire of a soul hunter.
He was staring at Saya, who was covered in dust, with a serious expression.
"Grandpa Warren..." Saya was like a child who was caught doing bad things, and she was afraid to go out.
Warren's gloomy eyes moved to Su Ming'an's face, and there was a faint killing intent in those eyes.
However, the killing intent was only fleeting, and soon he restrained the emotion in his eyes, and stretched out his hand towards Saya:
"Miss, don't come to such a chaotic place in the future. The voyage will end in two days. Stay in a safe place. With the help of the soul hunter, you will be fine."
"Uh-huh……"
Saya responded timidly, returned to Varen's side, and followed him out of here.
When turning around, Warren's knife-like eyes glanced at Su Ming'an again, as if warning him not to approach Saya again.
Su Mingan looked at him with no fear on his face.
... It's really a story about a fight between a poor boy and an aristocratic girl.
Although he felt that he was unlikely to be an ordinary poor boy, and Saya was also unlikely to be an ordinary noble girl.
He didn't care about Varen's gaze. In his opinion, Varen's strength was unlikely to surpass him.
In the current dungeon, except for encountering the existence of the Fifth World Shengqi with a combat power of 9999, some big boss-level characters are basically unable to defeat him. He doesn't need to be afraid of some unreasonable npcs.
In his opinion, the key point of the current dungeon should be the soul race...
Sure enough, just as he thought of this, a system message popped up.
"Ding dong!"
[It is detected that this dungeon is an open world, and will provide a perfect customs clearance route auxiliary service. 】
[Acquire Perfect Clearance · Heavenly Kingdom Line · Main Quest]
[Main task · Finding the truth (1/3): Find the murderer of the attack before the Yate arrives at the city on the sea. 】
[Task completion reward: open the next link of the route and get the key props for perfect customs clearance. 】
[Perfect clearance progress: 10%]
……
After Saya and the old man left, Su Mingan didn't wait in place.
The civilians around exude a combination of dust and sea smell, which is hard to bear. I don't know what the players who possessed the civilians have suffered.
He directly showed his identification to the inspector and successfully returned to the fourth floor.
When he walked up the stairs and onto the roof of the fourth floor, he glanced outside and suddenly noticed something.
It was three o'clock in the morning, and it was dead silent outside.Bottomless darkness engulfed the giant ship sailing in the storm, and there was no one on the deck.
The torrential rain covered the window. He opened the window, covered his forehead with his hands, and looked into the distance.
The reason he did this was because he vaguely saw a special area.
……up in the air.
The blazing thunder split open the pitch-black world, and through that decisive light, he saw a black shadow floating in the air.
As if appearing out of thin air, that black shadow appeared in the snow-white thunder and lightning like a huge and thick dark cloud.
The black shadow was extremely inconspicuous. If Su Mingan hadn't turned off his shadow state and tried his best to look at it, he still couldn't find a shadow there.
... Cloud City.
If what he expected was right, it should be the city of treasures floating in the air, the city of gods floating above the sea city.
From this point of view, the city on the sea should not be far away.
Su Mingan sensed a shadow of conspiracy, he closed the window, shook off the water droplets from his hands, and walked to the door of his room.
With a "click", the door opened.
He went inside and walked straight to the bottom of the bed with the last clue, which he hadn't had time to look at before.
He squatted down and saw a suitcase under the bed.
He turned the box out, searched it carefully, and finally found a stone of Art in the inner seal of a piece of clothing.
Compared with the ones found in the closet before, this Art Stone is bigger and brighter, like a treasure that can breathe on its own, and when he holds it in his hand, he can even feel the unique energy flowing inside.
……how come.
According to the size of the Art Stone, this piece... is almost the sum of what several nobles in the empire can hold.If it was sold, it would be enough to exchange all of Saya's family back, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was priceless.
Why is it held by a down-and-out nobleman?
Moreover, if Su Rin has been holding this kind of treasure, how could his family have fallen to that point?It's even no problem to exchange treasures for a duke.
Su Mingan gradually discovered that the character he possessed seemed to hide many secrets...
He dragged the rock into his backpack to make sure it wouldn't be found.
After doing all this, he carefully checked the closed doors and windows, and then fell asleep.
……
In the large and messy cabin, people in shabby clothes sleep on their feet.
Green got up from the hard floor and quietly walked into the utility room beside him.
In the utility room, his teammates, Feng Sheng, an assassin-type knife player, Fang Enze, a berserk professional, and Qiao Yuyu, a detective-type intellectual player, were already waiting inside.
They are a team of players with above-average strength, and they are teammates who trust each other.Two copies have been walked together so far.
They were next to the small utility room, Fang Enze still had a mop on his head, all three of them looked gray and embarrassed.
"coming?"
"Here we come." Green said softly: "Keep your voice down, the npcs just fell asleep, so don't talk too loudly about tactics."
"This damned broken identity makes me feel aggrieved... When did I suffer so much? If I were given a slightly better status as a wealthy businessman, I wouldn't be covered in ashes..." Fang Enze complained.
"Don't talk nonsense, the main mission has obviously started, and the soul race must be the biggest threat. If we don't want to be killed, we must take the initiative to look for clues." Green said.
He is the captain of the team and an old player. Except for dying once in the first world, he has been struggling until now. Although he has never passed the level perfectly, he has accumulated a lot of capital.
He is well aware of the urgency of the game dungeon, if they remain indifferent before such a special event, what awaits them can only be a very bad ending.
Qiao Yuyu glanced at her task panel: "You should have received the task reminder, too."
"Well, the first step of the perfect clearance mission is to find the attacker." Green said: "Although our goal is not to complete the clearance perfectly, it will definitely be beneficial to follow the suggested route. Now the goal of all players must be the soul race .”
"There's bad news, Green."
"what?"
"The guys from the Sword of the Yellow Rose Guild are also on this giant ship. When I checked just now, I heard someone calling the name of that guy Luna. Someone in the Sword of the Yellow Rose should be a soul hunter... Their identities are very Gao, it's not good for us, we have to avoid being found by those guys."
"...It's actually them, damn it, why did the enmity of the Fifth World bring it here? It's really unlucky. They just killed a member of their guild..."
Qiao Yuyu blinked her eyes: "And, Green, I found a very strange thing."
Her tone suddenly became serious.
Green also darkened.
Qiao Yuyu's skills can amplify her powers of observation and gain some sixth sense. If she even senses something is wrong, it will definitely be a difficult thing to deal with.
"I found out..." Qiao Yuyu frowned, "There seems to be something wrong with us as a millionaire."
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't you notice, Green." Qiao Yuyu said, "...there are too many bosses."
Green was slightly taken aback.
"When I was chatting on the channel before, I felt strange. There are more than 2 parallel copies, but why do we have so many big bosses in this book... Top players Yamada Machiichi, Bonnie, Agnes. Huang Luna from the Sword of Roses. Gothe from the United Regiment. Higurashi from the Remote Control Legion, Fang Yuanyi. Players from the Single Adventure Group Eli, Anli..." Qiao Yuyu bit her nails: "These are just the names I saw in the chat .I heard that there are more bosses hidden in this dungeon, and many people have seen their familiar skills...
Among the top [-] players, there are five or six in our book. It doesn't make sense to explain it with probability. The concentration of our [-]-book boss has far exceeded the standard.
——Green, I thought of a terrible guess. "
