Chapter 299: "Respect freedom, respect the lighthouse"
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm.
"——Rin, where are you going?" The blonde girl looked at him.
"Saya?" Su Mingan looked at the girl squeezed in the crowd: "What about you? Where are you going?"
"I... heard that a lifeboat was lowered. I'll go take a look with everyone." Saya said as she pulled him away from the crowd.
Next to it is the second-floor rooftop. It is still raining heavily and on the deck, people are moving a small lifeboat.
"Don't be anxious. It shouldn't have come to the point where everyone has to abandon the ship for refuge. The Soul Clan hunters on the ship should also take measures..." Before Su Ming'an finished his words, he heard an amplified voice coming from the top.
The sound was like it came from a loudspeaker, loud enough for everyone on the ship to hear it.
"——Please don't panic." A deep male voice came from above the crowd: "I am the S-level soul hunter of this ship, Valen."
"...Valen, it's Lord Valen!" Someone exclaimed, seeming to be very familiar with the name.
"Hurry and listen to Lord Valen's command. He is a top-level S-class soul hunter and will definitely be able to protect the Arte..."
The people who were originally in chaos seemed to have found their backbone in an instant.
"It's Grandpa Valen..." Saya laughed and immediately pulled Su Ming'an aside: "Lin, Grandpa Valen said don't panic, then there will be no problem, don't be afraid..."
She laughed and laughed, and when she looked at Su Mingan, her voice suddenly slowed down.
"Rin." She blinked, a little confused: "Your expression..."
Su Mingan immediately stopped smiling.
"Nothing." He shook his head. "I just heard the S-rank hunter speak, and I got a little excited."
"Yeah!" Saya nodded: "I know Grandpa Valen was targeting you before. Don't blame him. In fact, he is just too sensitive. He is always wary of everyone around me..."
Before she could finish her words, they were drowned out by a voice from above.
"—— Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is not critical, please do not worry. The soul hunter who died last night was the A-level soul hunter Puller. I have carefully inspected the scene, and the soul clan that attacked him should be as strong as him." Valen said while standing on the highest rooftop: "So, with the strength of two S-level soul hunters, Larya and I, we are fully confident of hunting down this hidden soul clan. In terms of strength, there is no gap between us and the other side, so now we mainly need everyone's cooperation."
His voice spread to every corner of the ship. The panicked people stopped to listen, and their anxious emotions were suddenly calmed.
"——Please don't panic, maintain order, and return to your rooms. Next, Larya and I will patrol your rooms in turn and use the Stone of At on some suspicious persons." Valen said: "After a night of search, we have initially locked in a group of suspicious persons with the highest suspicion. After the next investigation, I believe it will not be difficult to catch this hateful soul clan member - so, please return to your rooms first. It is not yet time for everyone to escape by lifeboat. Please believe in the strength of the soul hunters and the magical power of the Stone of At. We will definitely be able to catch that hateful murderous devil during the day..."
After listening to his words, people began to feel relieved, and many people even turned around and went upstairs.
"Let's go back, Lin." Saya immediately held Su Mingan's hand: "Don't worry anymore, and don't be afraid of chaos anymore. The Soul Hunters have officially taken action, and we can trust them."
"Okay." Su Ming'an still smiled, without any objection.
He followed Saya, followed the crowd all the way to the fourth floor, and returned to his room.
The moment the door closed, he waited at the door, listening to the noise outside.
Soon, he heard the conversation between Grandpa Valen and another Soul Clan hunter.
The two Soul Clan hunters began their search from the fourth floor - it seemed that the biggest suspect in their eyes was on the fourth floor.
The sound of the door opening first came from the left side of the door, and as time went by, their footsteps were getting closer.
They seemed to have only searched the rooms of the passengers on the left, and then moved on to the next one, without using the Stone of At from beginning to end.
After all, the Art Stone is precious and its usage is extremely limited. It is not enough for them to check all the passengers on the upper six floors. It can only be used to screen out those who the Soul Hunters are particularly suspicious of.
Finally, there was a knock on Su Mingan's door.
"Viscount Su Lin." Larya's gentle voice sounded outside the door: "Please open the door. It's a routine inspection."
Unlike the serious old man Valen, this S-rank Soul Clan hunter is a gentlemanly middle-aged man who speaks softly and politely, and will not cause too much disgust among the passengers being searched.
Su Mingan opened the door and saw the smiling Lalya and the serious-looking old man Valen. They were both wearing the black uniforms of the Soul Hunters, with the transparent stars on their chests shining brightly under the lights.
Behind them were several special crew members, who seemed to be his attendants. After Su Mingan opened the door, these attendants quickly rushed into his room and began to rummage through his boxes.
Ordinary nobles would certainly not be able to tolerate being treated like this, but this is a special period, and those nobles who are afraid of death dare not say anything.
He watched this scene silently, without any sense of tension in his heart. The two giant At Stones had already been put into his backpack, and it was impossible for these people to open his system backpack to see his things.
