Chapter 398 Encounter
Conquer the sea, the Shining Pearl.
On the sea in the dark night, the shining Pearl with shining lights was sailing on the dark sea, heading towards the distance of the sea where the end could not be seen.
Tonight is the fourth night that the Shining Pearl has been sailing on the sea since leaving the port. According to the original itinerary, the ship will soon reach its destination in Ivigo. Most of the passengers on the ship are looking forward to that time, but they don't know that the cruise ship is still a very long distance away from its destination.
In the sky, thick clouds covered both the moon and the stars. In this darkness without sunlight, the cruise ship followed the guidance of the compass and headed towards the destination designated by the captain, who was a senior member of the Sea Abyss Church.
On this ship, from the captain down, at least one third of the crew are followers of the evil cult Abyss. Their main goal is to send more than 2,000 passengers on this ship to the sea monster Haemohois for sacrifice. However, due to the thief K, they now have to turn to the Abyss stronghold Island of Tears in the nearby waters. According to the voyage, the Shining Pearl will arrive at the Island of Tears tomorrow afternoon.
In order to prevent the thief K who was still on board from causing any more trouble, Captain Costa ordered his followers to patrol and guard the entire ship strictly during the voyage.
On a cruise ship late at night, in a lower cabin far away from the passenger area, First Mate Binns was patrolling the empty corridor with a man. At this moment, he had just returned from inspecting the boiler room, and after shaking off the coal dust on his shoes, he was heading to the next inspection location.
Compared to other places on the ship, this corridor near the boiler room was very dirty, with some sundries on both sides of the corridor, and the floor was also very dirty. With a serious look, Binns, a water user, was walking on this corridor. He walked while carefully checking the situation in front of him, and his eyes swept through every dark corner where people could hide, as if he was worried that a thief was hiding there.
After walking in the corridor for a while, two sailors in uniform suddenly turned out from the corner of the corridor in front of Binns and walked towards him. Binns recognized them. They were not ordinary sailors, but Christians disguised as sailors. After seeing Binns, the other party seemed surprised for a moment, and then greeted him respectfully at the same time.
"Mr. Binns..."
"Jed...Hama...what are you doing here? Didn't I arrange for you to patrol storage bay No. 3?" Seeing the two people in front of him, Bins frowned and spoke with a little confusion, while the other party walked in and answered.
"Ah... It's like this, Mr. Binns. We found something suspicious at No. 3, so we wanted to specially inform you to go over there and take a look and see if you should tell Mr. Costa."
The two sailors came towards Bins as they talked, and Bins couldn't help but ask again after listening.
"Something suspicious? Please tell me what it is."
"What exactly is it... Mr. Binns, to be honest, it's hard for us to explain what it looks like verbally. You'd better come with us to take a look."
As they spoke, the two sailors continued to move towards Bins, and their pace slightly quickened. Seeing this move, Bins was slightly startled, and then immediately spoke in a warning tone.
"You two, stop right there! If you have anything to say, just stand still..."
Before Binns finished his words, the two sailors coming from the front immediately quickened their pace. Their expressions froze, and they rushed towards Binns at a sprint speed. Seeing this scene, Binns must have felt that something was wrong. He immediately raised his hand and aimed at the two people in front of him, ready to use his ability to attack.
At this moment, behind Binns, just as he passed the edge of the corridor, the door of a small storage cabinet suddenly opened, and two burly men whose sizes far exceeded the capacity of the storage cabinet rushed out from inside. After rushing out of the storage cabinet, the two men attacked Binns and his men from behind, and when Binns was concentrating on what was in front of him, they clamped them tightly with their hands from behind and covered their mouths.
"What... How could there be someone behind me! I checked it very carefully when I came here!" Binns, who was trapped from behind, thought in shock. He had checked all the places where people could hide before and found nothing wrong. He didn't know how these two people suddenly appeared behind him.
"I'm being restrained... But... It's too early to control me with this little power!"
Although Bins was not surprised but not panicked when he was clamped from behind, because he was an extraordinary person of the "Cup" of the Black Earth level and possessed unparalleled strength. He could break free from this level of restraint with just a little effort.
Just as Binns was about to use all his strength to break free from the grip, an extremely strong tingling sensation that he had never felt before ran through his entire body.
“Ugh…wuwuwuwu!!!”
With this intense pain spreading throughout his body, Binns' entire body and even his limbs began to tremble uncontrollably. His eyes widened and his eyes bulged. He opened his mouth to scream, but because his mouth was covered, he could not shout out loudly and could only whimper and roar.
Under the piercing pain, Binns' body was stiff for a short time and he was unable to resist. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two sailors rushed to Binns and his men. They took out a knife from their pockets respectively and stabbed forwards when they rushed in front of Binns. Binns and his men were stabbed in the heart at the same time. After trembling for a while with his eyes wide open, Binns died.
After confirming that Binns and his men were really dead, the two big men let them go. The two men, who should have fallen to the ground as corpses, staggered two steps on the ground and then stood up again.
After standing up again, Binns rolled his eyes back, then pulled out the knife from his chest and handed it back to the sailor who killed him. Then he took off his hat, tidied up his slightly erect hair and put it back on. Then, he examined the blood on his chest with a calm expression, and then said to the sailor Zhou Shen.
"There's something dirty on my clothes, so I need to go back and change. You guys can continue patrolling."
"Yes, Mr. Binns..."
As they spoke, several people gathered in the corridor began to disperse. The two big men who came out of the small utility cabinet went back in again. After the two big men disappeared into the cabinet, a sailor who had just used the stone that pierced Bins' heart took out a small stone box from the utility cabinet, put it in his pocket, and left quickly. The little blood that dripped on the corridor floor was wiped clean by another sailor who sprinkled a little dust on it and then mopped it up.
After a while, the scene returned to silence and everyone left, as if what had just happened had never happened.
…
"The first mate of the Black Earth Rank has been dealt with. Phew... With this, I will have a lot of Haiyuan Cult corpses under my control..."
Sitting in her cabin, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief after sensing the situation in the distance. At this time, he was using his abilities to take action throughout the ship.
During these actions, Dorothy assassinated some Abyssal Cultists who were disguised as sailors, turned them into their own corpses, and let these corpse-turned cultists assassinate their companions. In a short period of time, Dorothy already had seven Abyssal Cultist corpses, including one who was the first mate of the Black Earth Water Buff.
