Chapter 300 Two hundred and ninety-seven · "Respect freedom, respect the lighthouse"

  Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm violently.

   "—Rin, where are you going?" The blonde girl looked at him.

   "Saya?" Su Mingan looked at the girl crowded in the crowd: "What about you? Where are you going?"

   "I... heard that a lifeboat was put down, I'll go take a look with everyone." Saya said, pulling him away from the crowd.

   is next to the rooftop on the second floor. At this time, it was still raining heavily. On the deck, people were carrying small lifeboats.

   "Don't worry, the soul hunters on board should also take measures before everyone abandons the ship to take refuge..." Before Su Mingan finished speaking, he heard an amplified voice from the top.

   The sound was as loud as it came from a loudspeaker, and it was loud enough for the entire ship to hear it.

   "-Please don't panic." A strong male voice came from above the people: "I am the S-class soul hunter of this ship, Valen."

   "...Warren, it's Lord Warren!" Someone exclaimed, as if they were familiar with the name.

   "Listen to the command of Lord Warren, he is a top-level S-level soul hunter, and he can definitely protect the Att..."

   The originally chaotic people seemed to have found their backbone in an instant.

   "It's Grandpa Warren..." Saya laughed and immediately grabbed Su Ming'an who was beside him: "Rin, Grandpa Warren said don't panic, then it will be fine, don't be afraid..."

   She smiled and looked at Su Ming'an, her words suddenly slowed down.

   "Rin." She blinked her eyes, a little puzzled: "Your expression..."

  Su Mingan immediately restrained his smile.

   "It's nothing." He shook his head: "I just heard the S-rank hunter speak, and I was a little excited."

   "Yeah!" Saya nodded: "I know that Grandpa Warren has been targeting you before, don't blame him, in fact, he is just too sensitive, always alert to everyone around me..."

   Before she could finish her words, she was overwhelmed by a voice from above.

"—Gentlemen and ladies, the current situation is not critical, please don't worry. The soul hunter who died last night was an A-level soul hunter Puler. I have carefully inspected the scene, and the soul clan who attacked him should be related to his strength. Quite." Valen stood on the highest rooftop and said, "So, with the strength of my two S-rank soul hunters, Lalya and I, we are completely sure to hunt this hidden soul clan. In terms of strength, we are not the same as the other party. There will be gaps, so now we mainly need everyone’s cooperation.”

   His voice spread to every corner of the giant ship, and the panicked people stopped to listen, and their anxiety was suddenly relieved.

"-Please don't panic, maintain order, and return to your respective rooms. Next, Lalya and I will inspect your rooms in turn, and use Att Stones on some suspicious persons." Warren said: "After a In the search at night, we have initially locked a group of suspicious persons with the highest suspicion. After the following investigation, we believe that it will not be difficult to catch this abominable soul clan. So, please go back to your room first, now We haven’t reached the point where we need to use lifeboats to escape. Please believe in the strength of Soul Hunter and the magical power of the Att Stone, we will definitely be able to pull out that abominable murderer this day…”

   Listening to his words, people began to feel relieved, and many people even started to turn around and go upstairs.

   "Let's go back, Rin." Saya immediately took Su Ming'an's hand: "Don't worry anymore, don't be afraid of chaos anymore. Soul Hunter is officially launched, we can trust them."

   "Okay." Su Mingan still smiled, without any objection.

   He followed Saya, following the flow of people all the way to the fourth floor, and returned to his room.

  The moment he closed the door, he waited at the door, listening to the movement outside.

   Soon, he heard the conversation between Mr. Warren and another soul hunter.

   The two soul hunters started their search from the fourth floor—it seems that the biggest suspect in their eyes is the fourth floor.

  The sound of the door opening first sounded from the left area of ​​the door, and as time went by, the sound of their footsteps kept getting closer.

   They seemed to just searched the rooms of the passengers on the left, and after that, they went to the next room, and they didn't use the Atelier Stone from beginning to end.

After all, the    Att Stone is precious, and the number of times it can be used is extremely limited. It is not enough for them to check all the passengers on the sixth floor. It can only be used to investigate those who are particularly suspicious of Soul Hunter.

   Finally, a knock sounded in front of Su Ming'an's door.

   "Viscount Su Rin." Laerya's gentle voice sounded outside the door: "Please open the door for a routine inspection."

   Unlike the serious old man Warren, this S-rank soul hunter is a gentleman-like middle-aged man who speaks softly and politely, and will not arouse too much disgust from the passengers being searched.

  Su Mingan opened the door and saw the smiling Lalya and the serious old man Warren. They all wore black uniforms belonging to Soul Hunters, and the transparent stars on their chests shone under the lights.

   They were followed by several special crew members, like attendants. After Su Mingan opened the door, these attendants rushed into his room and started rummaging through the boxes.

   Ordinary nobles can't bear to be treated like this, but this is a special period, and those big nobles who are afraid of death dare not say anything.

   He watched this scene silently, without any tension in his heart, the two giant Atre stones had already been put into his backpack by him, and it was impossible for these people to open his system backpack to see his things.

   After a while, the fast-handed crew members put the things they turned out into their respective places, tidied up, and prepared to exit quickly.

   "Well... it seems that the Viscount is not a suspicious candidate..." Lalya said softly: "Excuse me, then we will leave..."

"and many more."

   A thick male voice interrupted him.

   Warren stepped forward with a serious face.

   His knife-like gaze swept over Su Ming'an, and the dissatisfaction that had always existed in those old eyes was very obvious.

   "Lalya, this person is one of my suspects, and I apply for the use of the Att Stone." Varun said.

   Listening to his words, Su Ming'an's expression did not change.

"Really?" Lalya touched his chin: "But in my opinion, the Viscount really doesn't look like a soul clan who can kill an A-level soul hunter... Valen, I remember that the Viscount and Miss Saya once had a relationship. Good. If he was a soul clan, he wouldn't have been living under your nose until now, right?"

Warren increased his tone: "Exactly. I have always suspected that this kid has bad intentions towards Miss Saya. I have warned him several times, but he still remains stubborn and keeps pulling Miss Saya. I suspect, What intention does this person have towards Miss?"

  Lalya listened, smiled, and seemed to see through him: "Walun, you are still the same as before, always vigilant against all male creatures approaching your lady."

  The barrage listened to Warren's target, but it exploded in an instant:

  【Damn it, what kind of person is this! 】

  【The first person to beat the mandarin ducks, now I have seen the legendary feudal patriarch. To stop people from being together and not to talk about it, you have to forcefully buckle the hat of the soul clan. 】

   [The first person to hit the iron plate, I have already seen the ending... Brother Ming An did too many operations last night, this old man must have never imagined it. 】

  【But in a sense, this Warren's vigilance is also right...】

  【Well, in a "sense"...】

   "—In short, I request the use of the Atelier Stone." Valen didn't care about Lalya's innuendo, and directly used his authority to force an order.

   If you need to use the Att Stone, you need to leave this room and go to the Att Stone storage room. After all, the size of the boulder tray is too large for the crew to carry.

   Warren ordered these special crew members to go to Rasumian.

  ...Su Rin is really a poor noble with no status, and he has no right to speak in front of Soul Hunter.

  Su Mingan raised his hand and stopped them.

   "Don't pull me, let's go." He said, and went straight out to the storage room below.

Beside   , there were some nobles who had the door open, and seemed to be curious about the first person to passively use the Att Stone.

  Su Mingan also noticed at this time that a series of conversations popped up in the originally quiet channel chat.

  【Karen (Santa Cassia Regiment): Coordinate Yat, who is the soul clan on this ship? Should be a player, right? Makes people panic. 】

  【Kent (Easter Party): It must be the top player Yamada Machiichi... This big guy has shown his head in the chat before, I bet it is him. 】

  【Liu Ping (Fisting Organizer Guild): I haven’t seen the Att Stone until now, does a player with noble status hold it? 】

   [Katrina (Nightingale): Mr. Yamada, please say something, you didn't say you were also on the Yat before, are you the Soul Race player? 】

[Joanne (World Tree Guild): Coordinates on the fourth floor of the Att. I seem to have seen someone being pulled for inspection. Shall we try to keep up... I heard from the players in the sea city, the soul hunters don’t seem to be very strong look...]

  …

   At the same time, Su Mingan also noticed that some players who were not afraid of death began to follow quietly.

   But soon a special crew stopped them and did not let them leave their rooms.

   On the contrary, there are some people with stealth skills, who use the skills to hide behind, as if they want to observe the movement here. Since Su Ming'an's spiritual point is much higher than these people, these sneaky people are like a clown by him.

   "Don't look around." Warren moved closer to him, blocking his sight from looking back. Those eagle-like gazes were firmly fixed on him, as if it was confirmed that he must be that soul clan.

  Su Mingan was a little helpless.

   "There's no need for you to target me like this..." he said.

   He couldn't understand why Warren targeted him like this. If it's because Saya likes Su Rin, it doesn't have to be so much trouble...

   "You smell like a soul clan," Warren said.

  Su Ming'an's eyes changed slightly.

"Don't worry too much, Viscount." Larya came from behind with a smiling voice: "Walun's talent is related to his sense of smell, he is good at tracing the traces of the soul clan, and he can also smell some leftovers after the battle of the soul clan. The smell. Maybe it was when you had contact with that soul clan that made him suspect you so much, and you'll be fine after testing it with the Att Stone."

…I see.

  Su Mingan thought that Warren was avenging private revenge in public, but he didn't expect that he really had some evidence.

   is a very qualified soul hunter.

Unfortunately…

"arrive."

   Warren opened the storage room, and the heavy door opened in front of him.

   Through the light, Su Mingan saw dozens of transparent Att stones on the huge stone plate in the storage room. They were like stars in the light, each reflecting a pale white brilliance.

  Warren put on gloves, picked up one, and walked towards Su Mingan.

   There are two detection methods for Att Stone. One is "automatic detection". When a soul clan with a tendency to attack approaches, the Att Stone will automatically light up, which can serve as a warning for the holder. The other is active detection, which is to hold the Att Stone in the palm of a person's hand. If it lights up, it is a soul race, and if it does not light up, it means that the person being tested is a normal human being. But regardless of whether the person is a soul clan, this will automatically consume one detection count.

   "Open your hand, hurry up." In Varun's hand, the Att Stone was emitting white steam.

   It is evaporating quickly.

Beside   , the four special crew members who followed, and S-rank Soul Hunter Lalya were also watching this scene.

The invisible player who followed silently behind    was also standing by the door at this time.

  Su Mingan stretched out his hand.

The   transparent Att Stone was directly pressed into his palm by Varun.

   At the moment when his fists were closed, the stone was motionless.

   The light did not come on.

   Warren looked away, looking a little regretful.

   "Okay, Su Rin, hand over the stone quickly, you won't be able to pay for damage to this thing..." Warren stretched out his hand and was about to pull his hand.

   At this moment, Larya, who was standing by the side, slowly closed the door.

   "Boom!" There was a loud noise from the heavy wooden door.

   Warren turned back suddenly, and saw that Lalya even stretched out her hand and closed the door lock.

   Before Varun could react, he saw Su Mingan open his hand next to him.

   "Boom!"

   There was a violent vibration in the air, Warren took a step back, and the storm slammed across his black clothes.

  Several bright red numbers soared from the crew members and players who were still watching the play.

  【HP-3290! (Combat power suppression! Critical strike! Fatal injury!)]

  【HP-2480! (Combat power suppression!)]

  【HP-2392! (Combat power suppression!)]

At the moment when the    vibration appeared, their bodies were torn apart like rags, and a large amount of blood was sprayed out. The nearest crew member had hot blood on Valen's face.

  Walun, who was splattered with blood, never expected that Su Rin would suddenly burst out with such a strong power.

   "—You, even if you are not a soul clan, you are definitely a dangerous person who wants to overthrow the empire—!" He suddenly pulled out the black sword bag behind him and shouted at Lalya who was beside him:

   "Lalya! Let's cooperate and kill him together! The movement on the boat must be the ghost of this guy—"

   He saw Larya smiling.

  Lalya was leaning against the door with his chest folded, and the door lock was completely closed by him.

   "Sorry, Warren."

  Larya spread her hands:

   "...Sir Su Rin, I have decided to be loyal to you since the early hours of this morning."

   "You, are you going to betray the Empire?"

"Who knows..." Lalya said with a smile: "Suddenly, I felt that no one in this empire, this giant ship...is interesting. I have always been a person who advocates freedom, rationality and romance, and the concept of Lord Su Rin conquers I'm... as simple as that."

  Valundi's expression turned cold: "Idea?"

  Lalya stretched out his hand and slowly took out the pistol from his waist.

   "Respect for freedom." He raised his pistol, smiling unchanged: "Respect for the lighthouse."
