Chapter 86 Ghost Ship on the Atlantic Ocean (1) “I was wondering, what if…
Because before they entered the classroom, Hyun Chi suddenly brought up the topic again.
At that time, Si Ling was chatting with Bai Ma and the others about the evil magic of the Tunba family. Suddenly, Xuan Chi said without any context: "If the Emperor of Heaven is really a tyrant who wants to kill you too."
"?" Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at him at the same time.
He stared at her and said, "Then it's not difficult for me. I will definitely save you."
Si Ling was stunned for at least five seconds before he realized what the topic was.
He grasped her arm, his expression clearly tense, veins bulging beneath the pale skin of his arm. Spirit-like ghosts lacked physical bodies, so this reaction was much more difficult for them than for corporeal humans or ghosts. Si Ling paused, then heard him urgently ask, "Can you wait until I go back... until I'm sure you're safe?"
“…”Except for Si Ling, several people looked at each other with different expressions.
The expressions of the Bai Ma trio, who had only recently left the human world, were particularly complicated. Li Qi thought for a moment, took out the Tongming disk, and started typing.
Ten seconds later, Bai Ma's Tongming Plate rang, and then Bai Ma also started typing.
A subtle atmosphere flowed between the few people, and Si Ling knew what they were talking about without looking.
She was very embarrassed and wanted to cover Xuan Chi's mouth, but just like before, he obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with it and looked at her steadily.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling very novel in her heart.
...She never thought that with her current experience, there would be something she couldn't handle.
But his eyes were intense, burning and sincere. She felt completely enveloped by his gaze and almost drowned in it.
What's even worse is that she saw what was wrong with him, and Bai Ma and the others also saw it, but he himself didn't understand it, so it was difficult for her to confront him about this issue.
Si Ling avoided his gaze, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him again. Although he was planning to delay, he put on an extremely serious expression: "I will seriously consider it, but this is a serious matter. Besides, I'm not going to ascend to immortality right away. Let me think about it slowly and don't rush me, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw his smile widen and he nodded: "Okay."
It's really easy to coax him.
Si Ling felt inexplicably uncomfortable and pursed her lips: "Let's go to the classroom first." After she finished speaking, she continued to walk towards the classroom, not daring to look at him again.
Si Ling's rich experience allowed him to quickly resolve this complicated emotion. Xuan Chi felt relieved after receiving the promise and never mentioned the topic again.
So time passed peacefully for another half month, during which time Si Ling met Xie Bian once - to be more precise, Xie Bian insisted on meeting her. He got drunk in the bar and complained to her, crying that Xuan Chi had not left any information. It was more difficult to get Xuan Chi to return to heaven than to let her ascend to heaven. This was not a job for a human being.
Si Ling looked at Xie Bian's dark circles and felt deeply sympathetic, but all she could do was tell him the story she had heard from the Fox Ancestor. Xie Bian, half sobered by the story, exclaimed, "Why would Xuan Chi go back then? Staying in hell or being reborn, which one wouldn't be better than following a tyrant?"
Si Ling shrugged: "I agree, as long as you have the ability to convince him."
After she said that, Xie Bian knew there was no hope, and continued to drink tons of wine.
Half a month later, Lucifer walked into the classroom of the advanced class one afternoon. A magic class was in session at that time, and Bai Ma was explaining the knowledge of Eastern witchcraft to the PPT of the group assignment. The Western ghosts' yearning for Eastern witchcraft was just like the Westerners' yearning for Chinese Kung Fu. They were very disappointed to see Lucifer come in and interrupt Bai Ma.
Lucifer nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Bai Ma, this is an urgent mission ordered by Satan himself."
Bai Ma didn't care about it. She smiled and returned to her seat, but the Western classmates were already whispering to each other and trying to copy her PPT.
"Ahem." Lucifer cleared his throat and raised his voice. "Okay, listen to me first." He tapped his fingers on the folder on the podium. "It's Straight Shot Mission."
——Straight ball mission?
Si Ling gave a simple and direct translation in her mind, but this translation was not enough for her to understand what it meant.
But three seconds later, she heard cheers erupting in the classroom!
"Woooow!!! Haven't seen this for more than ten years!!!" Almost everyone was cheering.
Ah Zhu, who was sitting in front of Si Ling, was also very excited, but she subconsciously glanced back at Si Ling and immediately realized that Si Ling didn't understand. Seeing the same confusion on Xuan Chi and Bai Ma's faces, she explained excitedly: "The direct ball mission means that the target itself is a ghost! So we don't need to scare them, we can just capture them head-on! It's much more satisfying than dealing with humans!"
Si Ling raised an eyebrow when he heard this: "Is this kind of shady situation impossible to handle?"
In the East, it is usually the Ox-Head and Horse-Face who lead the team to deal with such problems.
Ah Zhui tutted his words. "There are always exceptions. Some are really hard to handle. On that mission we did over a decade ago, the enemy was geographically under the jurisdiction of Western Hell, but they had always believed in the Ancient Gods... In order not to affect the relationship between Satan and the Ancient Gods, it was much more appropriate for us to step in."
"Okay..." Si Ling laughed.
Lucifer began to display information on the screen, and the first thing that appeared was a picture of a ship with the word "Mockingbird" written on it.
Judging from the specifications, this is a large ship sailing on the sea, but it looks very old-fashioned and not a new cruise ship. Si Ling has only seen this style in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Lucifer got straight to the point: "Let me first explain the difficulty of this mission - your targets are 82 people in total."
"Haha, that's not much." Orric laughed before Lucifer finished speaking. "Our two Eastern friends can take care of them all with just one spell." He then called out to everyone, "Want to place a bet? Bet on who gets the most heads? Or who has the guts to snatch a head from them?"
Everyone laughed, and Lucifer joined in. He continued, "I have no intention of denying the combat prowess of our two Eastern friends, but the difficulty isn't the sheer number of people involved, but rather—in addition to the 82 targets, there are 863 innocent souls aboard. You must carefully identify them and avoid inadvertently harming them."
“…” The excited students fell silent for a moment.
Everyone likes the "Straight Ball Mission" because it's fun, but the information Lucifer just gave means that they have to be careful when fighting, which basically cuts off this fun.
A female vampire asked in confusion, "...What kind of ship would have over 800 innocent people and over 80 evil people on board? Is it an Allied ship that just happened to have Axis prisoners of war?"
Elizabeth turned her head. "Then the heroic spirits of the Allies will directly deal with the souls of the Axis powers, right?"
That makes sense.
The vampire who had proposed the idea fell silent.
Lucifer flipped the page on the PowerPoint presentation and answered her question using the information provided. "This was a 17th-century slave ship, originally meant to be transporting over 800 black slaves from Africa to the UK. However, deep in the Atlantic Ocean, the ship encountered a storm, and everyone on board perished."
"But after that..." Lucifer turned another page in his PowerPoint presentation. "Perhaps due to the influence of the magnetic field, Satan has never been able to sense the existence of this ship. Until recently, he accidentally discovered that the ship was still cruising in the Atlantic Ocean, and the crew was still enslaving those slaves."
"...Oh my God, it's been over three hundred years!" Elizabeth exclaimed, covering her mouth. "They've been enslaved for over three hundred years?! It's outrageous."
"Yes, it's outrageous." Lucifer sighed, "But fortunately... now they can be saved."
"The mission is simple - kill all the white crew members and rescue the others. I've contacted people from their African religion for assistance. But please remember, this mission is undertaken by the Ghost Academy from beginning to end. Officially, this matter has nothing to do with Satan."
It turns out that it’s because of this bureaucratic mechanism again!
Si Ling thought of the subtle relationship between Satan and Lucifer that he had witnessed before. Seeing Lucifer cooperating like this now, he felt it was difficult to comment.
The students were not surprised by this. Lucifer finally announced, "Only spirit-type ghosts can participate in this mission."
"???" Fenric slammed the table and stood up, "Why!"
"Need I ask? This isn't the first time we've been on this kind of mission." Lucifer spread his hands in amusement. "A physical form has no advantage against a spirit form. If they're intentionally hiding, you won't even be able to see them. This kind of situation, where the enemy is visible and we're in the dark, will put you in a very passive position."
"At least let us see it," Fenric argued. "I mean—let us see a good fight."
"That's right!" The physical ghost students echoed.
Logically speaking, ghosts have lived in the world for thousands of years, so the spectacular sight of a 30,000-year-old ghost making a move is still a rare sight for them.
What's more, it's a cross-cultural ghost, and the mystery brought by cultural differences makes them even more excited.
"Okay, stop it." Lucifer frowned and shook his head.
Si Ling thought for a moment and raised his hand: "Principal Lucifer."
"Please speak." Lucifer said politely.
Si Ling put his hand down: "I was thinking, if there is a way to ensure their safety, it wouldn't hurt to let everyone go."
Lucifer frowned and looked at Si Ling, obviously doubting whether she just wanted to take everyone out to play: "What do you mean?"
Si Ling pondered, "If we only rely on spirit-type ghosts, there are only a dozen people in the whole class, but there are more than 80 targets on the ship, and more than 900 ghosts in total. We also have to avoid accidental injuries. This is too chaotic. Besides, that is their territory. We are unfamiliar with the place and are likely to suffer losses in silence."
"If we have more people, we can at least confuse them to a certain extent and prevent them from targeting us, the spiritual ghosts."
"Of course, let me emphasize again—this scenario must first ensure everyone's safety. I don't want to use you as bait. If there are hidden dangers, why don't Hyun Chi and I board the ship 2V900."

Because she was based on the human form she saw.
