◎Sea Breeze◎
On the dividing line of the screen, Jiang Chuxu's calm face formed a glaring contrast with the caller's face distorted by extreme fear.
The comments in the entire live broadcast room were like a frozen tide, stagnating for a moment, and then refreshing the screen at an even crazier speed.
What the hell are these?!
Neck, neck again
[It’s all posted, help!]
"Brother, why don't you just run away or at least move. I'm scared."
The informant Shi Chengqing's pupils were almost dilated with fear, his body was stiff, and even the strength to scream was drained away.
He could clearly feel the coldness on his neck. He didn't dare to move and even held his breath.
At the edge of his vision, just behind his shoulder, the pale neck stopped there. There was no further movement, just sticking there, which was very strange.
Jiang Chuxu narrowed his eyes. These ghosts were a bit strange, and they didn't seem to intend to harm the contact person. It was more like a reminder. They seemed to be in pain and anxious, and there was an urgent sense of trying to stop something.
Shi Chengqing's teeth chattered as he finally managed to squeeze out a sound from deep in his throat: "Host, help me! It's on my neck, it's so cold!"
His voice was shaking, and he sounded like he was on the verge of breaking down and crying.
"Don't look back." Jiang Chuxu's voice remained calm, temporarily suppressing Shi Chengqing's panic. "Why did you come up here, and how did you get up here?"
As Jiang Chuxu spoke, her hands kept moving. She tried her best to keep the ghosts away from Shi Chengqing without hurting them, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
Shi Chengqing felt that the coldness on his body seemed to have dissipated a little. He closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about what had just happened or look at the position of his neck. He tried to organize his words.
"My friend Zhang Zixian asked me to come here today. He said there was a special party here and brought me here to broaden my horizons. They are all inside now. I didn't feel very comfortable, so I quietly came to the deck."
It wasn't that he really didn't want to continue talking. The headless white shadows that were spinning and dancing silently in the darkness were truly the most terrifying sight he had ever seen in his life.
[Actually, I've always wanted to say that I think I've heard of the Sea Breeze somewhere.]
[I've heard about it too. It seems to be an exposé post, saying that a lot of things happened here.]
[Oh, so someone died on this cruise ship, right?]
Rich Man's Game
Feeling like you've been cheated by your friends
"Special party?" Jiang Chuxu caught the word, and combined with the confusing information conveyed by the necklace, a vague outline took shape in her mind.
She no longer waited for Shi Chengqing's answer, and her fingertips gently brushed across the warm necklace. The next second, she was connected with the white figure not far behind Shi Chengqing.
The first thing I saw was a girl in a white dress being forced to kneel on the cold and smooth floor under the glaring spotlight.
The surroundings were blurry and distorted. There were figures wearing expensive suits or evening gowns, with all kinds of gorgeous masks on their faces, leaving only their lips and jaws exposed. They were holding up wine glasses and making excited shouts and whistles.
The girl struggled in fear, her face covered with tears, and with a cloth ball stuffed in her mouth, she could only make whimpering sounds.
A man in a tuxedo and pristine white gloves stepped forward gracefully, bowed to all sides as if performing a performance, and then picked up a huge knife from the waiter's tray.
The girl's pupils suddenly contracted, and the scene stopped abruptly at the moment the blade fell, leaving only a tearing pain in her neck. The last thing left was a thought, which seemed to be what she wanted to say to Shi Chengqing.
The thought is to run, he is the devil, and you will be next.
When Jiang Chuxu connected to the second ghost, she was stunned for a moment, because she didn't see this ghost in the picture just now. Maybe this ghost interfered when she was connecting, but it didn't matter. It didn't matter who she was looking at.
The place where the incident seemed to have happened was in a dark and damp corner of the lower cabin. A middle-aged man was stripped of his shirt and his limbs were chained to the cold cabin wall. His eyes were full of humiliation and overwhelming hatred.
Several figures wearing black hoods surrounded him, holding chainsaws and axes.
One of the masked men grinned, "I heard you're tough? Now let's see which is tougher, you or my chainsaw! This is what happens to you if you ruin the Sea Breeze's plans!"
The shrill roar of a chainsaw suddenly rang out, indescribable pain came from his limbs, the man screamed, blood continued to gushed out, splattered all over the cabin wall and the attacker's hood.
Consciousness quickly blurred in the extreme pain and blood loss, and finally only endless darkness remained.
The last thought left by the ghost was similar, which was to express that Shi Chengqing was the prey, he must be stopped, and revenge was also required.
Jiang Chuxu seemed to be thinking about something. Shi Chengqing said that he was brought up by a friend, and it seemed that the friend had a big problem.
She thought about it and connected to another ghost. This time the scene was different. It was in a small iron cage that was welded shut and placed in the middle of the deck. Inside the cage was a thin boy who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.
He banged on the railing in fear and cried for mercy.
Several men wearing devil masks placed him in a lifeboat, which they then filled with gasoline-soaked rags and firewood.
They returned to the Sea Breeze, and then one of them took a torch and threw it onto the pile of wood with laughter amid the excited shouts of the crowd.
boom!
Flames rose up instantly and engulfed the iron cage.
The boy's screams pierced through the flames and sea breeze. They were clearly on the sea, but the boat seemed to have been specially modified by them, so when the firewood burned to the boy in the cage, the boat was basically intact.
After an unknown amount of time, the ship fell into darkness, with thick smoke and the smell of burning filling the air. In the end, everything returned to the sea.
The ghost also hoped that Shi Chengqing would leave quickly. It felt that Shi Chengqing was innocent and unaware, while most people in the cabin were devils, especially the man who brought Shi Chengqing on board.
The scene suddenly stopped, and Jiang Chuxu's eyes turned completely cold. She understood.
These ghosts, in various shapes and forms, were all poor people who were brutally killed and thrown into the sea by the participants of a special party on the "Sea Breeze".
The strong resentment and unwillingness to die in vain, coupled with the special environment of the sea where they were buried, have caused them to stay here and struggle in pain.
They were pestering Shi Chengqing not to harm him.
On the contrary, they were trying to warn Shi Chengqing in their own way, reminding him to run away quickly because he would be the next victim.
But most of them cannot speak, and the few that can speak do not appear often, so these headless ghosts can only express themselves in this terrifying way.
Moreover, they heard Zhang Zixian's triumphant announcement to the others in the cabin: "The grand finale of tonight is the person I brought here."
The others in the cabin were also saying, "You finally brought someone here. Let's see what tricks you have today."
Someone else said: "Isn't that your friend? How can you not be soft-hearted after all these years?"
Zhang Zixian smiled perversely upon hearing this: "So tonight, when I execute him, I plan to make him realize that it was me who did it. His expression will definitely be very interesting then."
The others laughed when they heard this, as if they were imagining the scene.
Shi Chengqing naturally didn't know about this. Jiang Chuxu rubbed his temples. The people on this boat were really arrogant.
At this moment, a figure different from the other headless ghosts slowly emerged from the shadows behind Shi Chengqing.
It only had half a torso and a head, with nothing below the neck. It was the ghost of the middle-aged man whose limbs had been sawed off that Jiang Chuxu had just connected to. Its name was Zhao Zhigang.
Its head was covered in scars, but its eyes were clear. It stared intently at the phone screen in Shi Chengqing's hand and said, "That friend of yours is a beast. He wants to kill you!"
Shi Chengqing's whole body trembled violently, and he could hardly hold the phone. He looked at Jiang Chuxu's calm face on the screen in disbelief, and then suddenly looked at the source of the sound.
He couldn't believe it, but it seemed to be true: "Zhang Zixian wants to harm me? Why?!"
Zhao Zhigang's expression twisted. "Why? To see the despair on your face when you know he's going to kill you. Many of the people on this ship are demons in human form, or they're people who want to become one of us."
Become one of these ghosts?
Wouldn't that mean death? Shi Chengqing's mind went blank.
[The people on this ship are really just like what those posts say, they are all beasts]
I used to think these ghosts were scary, but now I think the people on this boat are scary.
[It's over, we're at sea now]
[I don't know how far away from the coast we are, or what the signal will be like later.]
"They're going to cut off the signal soon."
The Sea Breeze uses a satellite-based WIFI service, which charges a high fee and the signal is not very stable. Those beasts will cut off the signal before "execution". Only then will we be truly in a dilemma of neither being able to live nor to die.
Shi Chengqing felt as if struck by lightning, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. The feeling of being betrayed by his best friend almost suffocated him.
He looked at Zhao Zhigang on the phone screen, then shifted his gaze to look at Jiang Chuxu.
The temperature of the necklace continued to rise, conveying the ghosts' immense resentment, helpless anxiety, and desire for revenge.
Jiang Chuxu's gaze seemed to penetrate the screen and fell on the ghosts struggling in pain.
Her voice rang out clearly: "They want revenge now."
Since those people chose to commit crimes at sea and let the sea swallow up the evidence of their crimes, let them experience the same despair here.
"Go, find those people and let them see what you look like. Let them experience firsthand what you've been through. Remember, you can't kill anyone, but the rest deserve it."
Jiang Chuxu folded her arms. She had just sent a message to her colleagues in the special department, but she didn't know how long it would take for them to find the Sea Breeze.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Chengqing saw that the ghost beside him moved.
They seemed to have been freed from an invisible bond, and rushed towards the cabin with a biting yin energy and overwhelming resentment.
They had no substance and penetrated the closed hatch like smoke, disappearing inside the door in an instant.
[They’re going in, they’re going in, these ghosts are going in for revenge]
Is it really okay to let a ghost in?
[What's wrong with that? Some of the people on this ship are much scarier than ghosts.]
"No, I'm worried about what if those people have a way to deal with ghosts? Don't rich people usually have things to protect themselves?"
[Don't worry, the host dares to say this, he will definitely let those ghosts go in and out safely]
The viewers of the live broadcast knew very well that Jiang Chuxu never did anything without confidence.
It was indeed as the audience in the live broadcast room thought, Jiang Chuxu had taken some safeguards before these ghosts entered the cabin to prevent them from being harmed.
Shi Chengqing was completely stunned. He slowly slid down and sat down, his whole body shaking like a sieve.
He only felt an even colder wind blowing past him and straight into the cabin. Then, the deafening music faintly coming from the cabin suddenly turned into a scream.
The voice he heard most clearly was Zhang Zixian's.
Now in the cabin are those who call themselves "executioners".
The others waiting to be executed were in another place. Some of them were deceived and brought up, some were drugged and brought up, and some, like Shi Chengqing, were brought up by their so-called friends.
Therefore, the ghosts who entered the cabin did not worry about accidental injuries at all, they just wanted to take revenge.
Just take revenge on these demons.
…
Inside the cabin, the extravagant "paradise" instantly fell into an icy cave.
The piercing noise made everyone cover their ears in pain. The next second, all the bright lights went out simultaneously, leaving only a small, dim light, which outlined countless faces distorted with fear.
"What's going on?!"
"The power is out?"
"Shit, go find the captain and ask him what's going on."
There was a mixture of screams, curses, and the sounds of breaking cups and plates.
Just when the chaos reached its peak, the spotlight came on.
A pale beam of light hit the center of the dance floor without warning. In the beam, a headless figure in a white dress was slowly spinning in an unnatural posture, and the broken neck looked hideous and terrifying.
"Ghost, there's a ghost!" Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the cabin.
This is just the beginning.
“Hehe…”
A sound like that of a broken bellows rang out next to where Zhang Zixian was sitting. Under the light of Hunan, a scarred man's head was staring at him.
Zhang Zixian will never forget this look in his life!
This face looked so familiar, especially like the reporter whose limbs he had ordered to be sawed off before.
I don’t know where this reporter got the information, but he wanted to take pictures on the ship to take evidence and report them.
As a result, he found the reporter. He thought that reporters rely on their hands to write, take pictures, and use their legs frequently, so he sawed off all of the reporter's limbs.
"Get out of here! It's not me! It's not me!" Zhang Zixian was so frightened that he wanted to escape, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead.
What was even more terrifying was that an irresistible force took control of his consciousness, the world was spinning, and the next second, he found himself being held down on his knees on the cold floor by two masked strong men.
He felt a sharp pain on his wrist as the hemp rope was tightening around him, and with a smelly cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, he looked up in horror and saw himself!
Wearing a tuxedo and white gloves, he was elegantly holding the huge bone-cutting knife and walking towards him with a cruel and excited smile on his face.
"No, don't! It's me, it's me, stop it!" Zhang Zixian screamed wildly in his consciousness, but he could not control the actions of that "self".
He could only watch as "himself" raised the knife, grinned fiercely, and then chopped it down fiercely.
There was a tearing pain in the neck.
"Ah--" In reality, Zhang Zixian let out a scream that was not like a human voice. He jumped up from the booth and fell heavily to the ground. He covered his neck tightly with both hands, as if he had been stabbed there. His body twitched violently and foamed at the mouth.
On the other side, a yellow-haired boy was rolling and crawling trying to hide under the sofa.
Suddenly, he was enveloped by an unbearable burning sensation. He felt as if he was trapped in a small and scorching iron cage, surrounded by raging flames. The feeling of his skin being burned was extremely clear, and thick smoke choked his lungs.
He howled like a pig being slaughtered, slapping his body frantically: "It's hot, it's so hot, help, let me out, I'm burning to death!"
To others, he was just rolling around on the ground. His clothes were intact, but his skin strangely began to turn red, as if it was really being burned.
Other "guests" who participated in the massacre or kept it a secret also fell into a horrific illusion.
Some people felt that their limbs were being pulled by an invisible force, as if they were about to be sawed off in the next second. Some people felt the cold sea water pouring into their mouths and noses, and the feeling of suffocation was extremely real. Some people saw a charred boy standing in front of them, with tears of blood flowing from his empty eye sockets.
The entire cabin turned into a real purgatory.
Screams of fear, wails of pain, and the mutterings of mental breakdown came one after another.
Those who were trapped near the cabin and had no idea what was going on were so frightened that they huddled together and trembled.
Three ghosts maintained order in the chaos. One by one, the headless ghosts began to dance, spinning silently in the center of the dance floor. Zhao Zhigang's head hovered above Zhang Zixian's head, staring coldly at his twitching body.
Another burnt shadow shuttled through the chaotic crowd, accurately delivering burning fear to those who were tainted with heavy sins.
On the deck, Shi Chengqing listened to the sounds coming from the cabin. He felt cold all over and his teeth were chattering.
He held the phone tightly, looked at Jiang Chuxu's face, and cried in his voice: "Anchor, when can I leave?"
Just listening to it here is terrifying.
Jiang Chuxu glanced at the message on his mobile phone. His colleague said that she had set off an hour ago, and she also asked a ghost to send a signal.
It is estimated that Shi Chengqing will be able to see the coast guard ship soon.
"soon."
Almost at the same time Jiang Chuxu finished speaking, Shi Chengqing and the audience in the live broadcast room heard a sound coming from afar. It was a ship.
No, it's a fleet!
Shi Chengqing stood up excitedly in an instant.
On the sea, several powerful searchlights pierced the darkness and accurately locked onto the huge "Sea Breeze". Several coast guard speedboats came speeding over, followed by a coast guard command ship of even larger tonnage.
The large characters on the ship were particularly conspicuous and full of deterrence.
[It turned out to be the Coast Guard! ]
【It came really fast】
[I felt safe instantly]
The coast guard speedboat quickly approached the Sea Breeze, and the well-trained coast guard members used hooks and ropes to nimbly climb onto the deck of the cruise ship.
They were fully armed, and the beams of light from their tactical flashlights swept across the deck, and they immediately spotted Shi Chengqing, who was slumped in the corner and still in shock.
The coast guard quickly confirmed his condition and took him into protection.
At the same time, more coast guard members and personnel wearing special black combat uniforms came from the command ship in speedboats. They rushed to the cabin entrance like a tide, and the cabin door was instantly knocked open by professional door-breaking tools.
"Police, don't move!"
"Put your hands on your head and squat down!"
"Those who resist will suffer the consequences!"
The harsh scolding and the sound of tactical boots stepping on the deck instantly drowned out the chaotic crying and muttering in the cabin, and the strong flashlight illuminated the originally dark and terrifying cabin.
The scene before them made the experienced coast guard and special department members gasp.
Cups and plates were scattered everywhere, tables and chairs were overturned, and the crowd was huddled together like a flock of frightened sheep, with fear written all over their faces.
The most eye-catching were the few who were clearly suffering from mental breakdowns. Zhang Zixian was twitching on the ground like a puddle of mud, while Huang Mao's skin turned red and he curled up, shouting "It's hot!". Several others were either dazed or frantically waving their arms as if trying to drive away some invisible entity...
The members of the special department quickly dispersed, holding special energy detection instruments and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
But the instruments showed that although there was still a strong residual evil spirit in the cabin, the ghosts that created chaos seemed to have disappeared without a trace the moment they broke in.
"Control the scene, separate everyone and keep them under guard, medical staff!" the leading police officer gave a stern order.
The action unfolded quickly.
The terrified "guests" were separated, controlled and registered. Medical staff rushed in with stretchers and sedatives and carried away Zhang Zixian, Huang Mao and several other people who were obviously unable to move.
The other participants, whether they collapsed or not, were handcuffed and tightly controlled.
The special department began to quickly check whether there were any remaining sorcerous items, such as whether this was also related to the K organization.
However, they searched for several times but didn't see anything relevant.
Shi Chengqing was taken off the Haifeng by the coast guard and boarded the command ship.
He was still in shock, but when he saw the fully armed law enforcement officers around him, his sense of security finally returned. He held his phone tightly, and the screen was still on Jiang Chuxu's live broadcast room.
Jiang Chuxu looked at the busy and orderly scene on the command ship and said calmly to the camera, "Leave the rest to the police. Now that those ghosts have had their revenge, it's time for them to be reincarnated."
Her fingertips brushed across the necklace, feeling the last remaining trace of obsession and relief slowly dissipating into nothingness under the strong light of the coast guard.
After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at the comments and questions in the comments section. She simply closed the live broadcast with a flick of her finger.
The screen went black instantly.
Jiang Chuxu's life can be said to be peaceful and quiet. She even went to the supermarket to buy vegetables to make cat food.
On the other side, the lights on the command ship were bright, and the atmosphere in the makeshift interrogation room was heavy.
The pale light shone on Zhang Zixian's bloodless face. He was slumped in a special restraint chair, handcuffed on his wrists. His body was still twitching slightly uncontrollably, his eyes were dull, and there were traces of dried white foam at the corners of his mouth.
The effect of the sedative seemed to have worn off somewhat, but the mental trauma was far from being recovered.
Fear enveloped him like a substance, replacing his former arrogance.
Two interrogators in special services uniforms sat across from him.
The presiding officer's name was Zhang. His voice was low and steady, without any emotion: "Zhang Zixian, wake up! Do you know why you're sitting here?"
Zhang Zixian looked around in horror, as if the walls would ooze blood or reveal ghosts at any moment.
He didn't dare look the interrogator in the eye. He just nodded randomly, then shook his head violently, speaking incoherently: "Ghosts, there are ghosts, they are back, and they want my life!"
Officer Zhang ignored his words and placed a folder in front of Zhang Zixian.
The folder was unfolded, and the front page contained several high-definition printed photos, showing the messy scene in the main banquet hall of the Sea Breeze, the unconscious Huangmao being carried on a stretcher, and his own ugly appearance of collapsing on the ground and foaming at the mouth. Attached below were several preliminary identification confirmations and a brief description of the incident.
"Look at this." Officer Zhang pointed his finger at his own face in the photo. "Sea Breeze, 'Special Party,' haunted. Tell me, what are those ghosts? Who are they? Why are they looking for you?"
The photo pierced Zhang Zixian's confused nerves. His body shook violently and his pupils contracted suddenly, as if he had returned to the time when he was being stared at by the headless figure and the floating head.
He suddenly closed his eyes and let out a suppressed sob.
"They, they are..." Zhang Zixian's voice was dry and hoarse, "A dancer, a nosy reporter, and a country boy who was burned to death. There should be a few more."
He called out several names intermittently, and the fear on his face deepened with each name.
"A few friends and I suddenly brought it up a while ago, but we were worried about being discovered. One of my friends suggested doing it at sea so it would be less likely to be discovered."
He seemed to have finally found an outlet for venting, but also seemed to be completely crushed by the invisible fear, and began to speak incoherently.
He admitted to organizing and leading several so-called "death parties" to enjoy killing people, and also described how he selected his prey.
Most of them are marginal people with simple social relationships who are not easily noticed, or "friends" like Shi Chengqing who were deceived by him.
He described the process of the massacre in detail, his tone sometimes numb, sometimes with residual morbid excitement, but more often it was trembling caused by great fear.
How to end a life with cruel means, how to clean up the scene, and how to throw the body into the vast ocean to destroy the evidence.
Every detail confirmed the scattered evidence found by the special department on the ship and the images that Jiang Chuxu saw from those ghosts.
The colleagues in the special department frowned slightly, and the recorder's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard.
When Zhang Zixian talked about ensuring the safety of the party and not being harassed by wronged spirits, his voice paused and a strange look flashed across his face.
"Go on." Officer Zhang's voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhang Zixian's heart.
"I'm scared."
Zhang Zixian lowered his voice, his eyes evasive. "Those people were restless even after their death. I was afraid they would come back, so I spent a lot of money to find a master through an intermediary."
"Master?" Officer Zhang caught the key words. "What kind of master? What's his name? Where is he from?"
Zhang Zixian shook his head, his eyes filled with fear. "I don't know the master's real name. He's very mysterious. I only contact him via an encrypted satellite phone. The charge is gold. He said his name is Raven. His voice is very hoarse, as if it has been processed."
"What did he do?"
Zhang Zixian shuddered. "He came over to take a look, then gave me something, a small black bell that looked like it was made of bone. He told me to hang it in a specific spot in the cockpit, saying it would ward off unclean things. Those things hadn't appeared before the accident."
He seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his handcuffed hands and pointed to the location of his cuffs.
"There seemed to be a small golden K embroidered on his cuff. I saw it secretly."
Zhang Zixian was actually quite curious at the time, but the master seemed to notice his gaze and his expression suddenly turned bad.
If Zhang Zixian hadn't had something to ask for at that time, he would have thought that if he didn't want others to know his identity, he could just change his clothes.
It's nothing for him to just take a look.
"K?!" The two people in charge of the interrogation looked at each other and saw the other's serious expression.
How is it related to this lingering thing again?
"When was the last time you contacted him? How did you contact him?" Officer Zhang asked, speaking faster.
Zhang Zixian reported an encrypted satellite channel code and a complex codeword.
"It was just routine maintenance a few days ago, and we haven't been in touch since then."
The interrogation lasted for several hours. Zhang Zixian's mental state was extremely unstable. Sometimes he broke down and cried, and sometimes he fell into a daze. However, the core facts of the crime and his confession of the background of "Raven" and its K organization were basically fixed after repeated confirmation.
The information he provided about other participants and victims was also quickly recorded.
The ship docked halfway and Zhang Zixian was taken to another place for further interrogation. As for the Sea Breeze, it was taken over to continue searching for evidence on the ship.
After the interrogation, Zhang Zixian was taken away and placed under strict surveillance.
People from the special department stayed in the interrogation room and looked at the thick transcripts.
After a while, a man suddenly walked into the interrogation room. It was Xu Zhaojin.
She happened to be doing a mission nearby and rushed over after hearing the news. She flipped through the notes and her face didn't look good.
"The K organization's reach is longer than we imagined."
Xu Zhaojin drummed his fingers on the table and continued in a deep voice, "This kind of peripheral business can both make money and develop potential customers."
Officer Zhang also nodded, his eyes sharp: "This raven may be the key breakthrough point. Zhang Zixian's line can still be used."
The plan was quickly formed and reported. Using the encrypted channel and codeword provided by Zhang Zixian, he disguised himself as Zhang Zixian and contacted Raven again.
The reason was very sufficient. He said that he felt there was a ghost on the ship and he didn't know if it was a problem from the last inspection. Therefore, he urgently needed the master to take action again to carry out a thorough purification and sealing. The price was not a problem and could even be doubled.
The special department is betting on two things: greed for money and the information barriers within the K organization.
The encrypted channel was connected, and a colleague from the special department skillfully used a voice changer to imitate Zhang Zixian's tone, sounding a bit contemptuous and arrogant.
The other party's voice was indeed processed, hoarse and arrogant. It was Raven.
Upon hearing that the Sea Breeze was haunted again, there was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the communication. The people in the special department felt that the other party was assessing the risks.
In the end, greed for the doubled reward overwhelmed his vigilance, and Raven agreed, confirmed the new price, and agreed to perform the ritual at the berth where the Sea Breeze was temporarily docked late at night two days later.
During the past two days, Jiang Chuxu has been solving audience problems during live broadcasts, while the special departments have been making intensive arrangements to avoid any mistakes.
Two days later, late at night.
The perimeter of the military dock was heavily guarded, but an illusion of laxity was deliberately created near the target berth.
The huge ship of the Sea Breeze was quietly anchored, with only a few dim indicator lights on, looking like a dormant giant beast in the night.
A nondescript black car pulled into the designated area, and three men emerged. The leader, clad in a dark gray Tang suit, was thin and slender, with a sinister expression and a neatly trimmed goatee. His eyes were sharp yet tinged with a subtle arrogance.
It was Raven, followed by two burly men, who glanced warily at the silent dock and the Sea Breeze.
Raven climbed the gangway connecting to the dock with steady steps.
He felt it, and a barely perceptible contempt appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yin energy? It was indeed a bit heavier than the last time he left, and his technique seemed a bit chaotic, but in his eyes, it was just the last struggle of a homeless resentful spirit.
But he didn't know that the evil energy on the ship was caused by a special department.
Raven subconsciously touched the letter K on the inside of his Tang suit sleeve, thinking about the huge fortune that was about to come.
Under the guidance of a special department member disguised as Zhang Zixian's confidant, Raven and his bodyguards boarded the Sea Breeze and were taken to the main banquet hall.
The hall was empty, with only a small light on.
"Master, look, this is the place where the yin energy is the heaviest. It seems that all those things are gathered here." The disguised member whispered nervously, his finger trembling slightly as he pointed to the center of the dance floor.
Raven snorted coldly, his face full of disdain: "It's just a masterless remnant soul, is this worth making a fuss about?"
He calmly put down the rustic wooden box he was carrying, and took out a few black triangular flags made of peculiar materials and covered with strange dark red runes. He twisted his fingers and muttered something, preparing to use his usual method of "locking souls and calming evil spirits".
Just as he was holding the first small flag and was about to put it on the ground.
All the lights in the banquet hall went out instantly.
"Who?!" Raven reacted very quickly. He held the flag with great confidence that no matter what was causing the trouble, he could pay it off immediately.
However, the next second, he suddenly felt an indescribable force pressing down on him, making him completely unable to move.
“Bang!”
Several dazzling flashlight beams suddenly lit up, instantly locking onto Raven and his two bodyguards.
Surrounding them were several special police officers who emerged from the darkness like ghosts, with black muzzles of guns and cold infrared aiming points densely covering their vital parts.
The two bodyguards subconsciously wanted to draw their guns to resist, but as soon as they made a move, they were pinned to the ground by the special police who pounced on them like wolves and tigers. Their weapons were removed and handcuffed in a clean and efficient manner, leaving them no room for resistance.
Raven stood in the center of the bright light, his face as pale as paper, his goatee trembling slightly, and his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat.
He actually suffered a loss here? !
