Artificial Life 30
There were screams, curses and footsteps everywhere.
The distinguished guests on the Selmes finally found it difficult to maintain their dignity. The richer people were, the more they valued their lives. Most of those who dared to risk their lives were penniless. The damage to the hull could no longer be covered up. No matter how advanced the design was, it could not make up for this terrible situation. The crew had to start the evacuation procedure and guide the guests to the lifeboat. As most of them were either rich or noble, rescue would arrive soon.
Zhu Fu Jingguang walked against the crowd. He rushed out of the auction house as soon as he realized something was wrong, but his pace was still disrupted by the escaping crowd. He could only watch Julian, who was only a few steps away from him, being taken away by the waiter. However, when he finally caught up, he saw the boy being pulled away by a man with corn braids.
He suddenly felt something was wrong and could only follow in a hurry. Unlike the other guests who were heading to the sides or stern of the ship where the lifeboats were placed, the deck where Julian was pulled by the man was located in the middle of the bow, which was the place where they had communicated in the moonlight before. Although the scenery was beautiful, it was very disadvantageous for the current situation.
Sure enough, just as he was about to arrive, Zhu Fu Jingguang saw a familiar figure again.
"Taki Hong-kun," the chubby man called out, and the name made Morobushi Kagemitsu tense up. "Don't be nervous," Mr. Iori of Huirensha, Morobushi Kagemitsu's boss when he was undercover, smiled and waved his hand, "You have passed the test of God, proving that the time for extradition has not yet arrived... Ah, or are you wondering how I recognized you?" He smiled and tapped his temple with his index finger, "Your eyes are rare, bright, yet sharp... To be honest, it was only after you left, Taki Hong-kun, that I discovered your characteristics..."
"Mr. Iori," Morobushi Kagemitsu interrupted the other party's greetings and went straight to the point, "Aren't you going to take the lifeboat?"
Mr. Iori's white and plump face cracked into a smile, "The gods will make their own decision." It was another set of crazy logic of Huiren Society, just like the several believers who were now gathered around the man, with indifferent faces, and it was difficult for people to understand. "Although now is indeed not a good time to extradite, but I saw a child..." He invited Zhu Fu Jingguang like singing, "A child who is said to be perfect. He can solve the confusion of Huiren Society for many years and achieve our long-cherished wish... How about it? Do you want to come and witness it together? After all, even if you are just a human who survives under the mercy of God, I don't mind accepting you again."
"...I will only do what I should do." Fortunately, after being undercover for a long time, Zhu Fujingguang has also figured out a set of logic for talking to the people of Huiren Society. The first thing is not to deny it directly, but also not to admit it directly. The key is that the riddle man makes the other party think, "We can only travel together for a period of time."
"Really?" Mr. Iori nodded without surprise. "Then let's go and witness the key to the new world."
