Although caught off guard by Fuji Technology, the Tokyo Empress did not fall into a state of disordered panic as expected by the former. The reason for this is the swift and decisive control of the Nanjo family under the leadership of Honami.

On the one hand, the police sent sp to suppress the riots, and on the other hand, they issued an announcement on the ship, claiming that thugs pretending to be passengers sneaked into the cruise ship to carry out looting, but the attack was stopped in the early stage, so there is no need to worry too much.

While appeasing the emotions of the passengers, Honami also announced that the security forces on board are trying their best to hunt down the few fleeing thugs. In order to avoid causing wrong orders, passengers on board are required not to go out when they are temporarily in the cabin until the situation subsides—this is a mandatory order, but in At this time, there will be no unreasonable guys come out to ask for trouble.

Therefore, under the guidance of the shipping management, more than 2,000 passengers on the cruise ship were temporarily transferred to the residential area where the first-class cabins were located.

The living area of ​​the first-class cabin occupies the largest area, and there are still many public spaces reserved for passengers to relax and exercise, so there is considerable flexibility in the layout.

Although it is not in line with the original design intention, after the passengers are gathered in the residential area, the police sp is arranged to pull up the police line at the entrance and exit of the residential area, thus forming a structure similar to a temporary fortress.

Such an arrangement allowed the Nanjo family to suppress the riots in other locations, and for the passengers who were concentrated in the residential area for refuge, the heavily guarded fortress also gave them a considerable sense of security.

After all, the Nanjo family is also a prestigious industrial giant, and the vast majority of passengers believe that they can settle their troubles.

"Hey, just treat it as a sideshow of the journey, maybe it's a surprise program specially arranged by Nanjo's family?"

Hiroshi Hasegawa, who followed the instructions and went back to the cabin to take refuge, scratched his beard and comforted his wife.

"Is it really all right? It seems like I heard gunshots." Mikoto Hasegawa frowned.

"No problem. In fact, it's not uncommon to encounter such things in sea cabins. As far as the result is concerned, most of them will be fine. Trust me."

For senior sailors who have traveled to various oceans all year round, Hiroshi Hasegawa's words are quite convincing.

Even the other old couple who took refuge in the same cabin opposite could not help but look over upon hearing this.

"It would be great if it was really like this... Alas, I am old and I really can't stand the toss." The old lady with a cane sighed, and when she saw Mikoto's face, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Excuse me, Little girl, have we met somewhere before?"

Meiqin was stunned for a moment and looked up at the silver-haired old lady, tried to remember for a while, then shook her head: "Sorry, I can't remember...Actually, there was a time when my head was very confused, even if I greeted someone, I would immediately forget it. I am sorry…"

The old lady covered her mouth and showed a surprised expression: "Ah? You too? In fact, I have been in a daze for the past two or three years. I seem to forget a lot of things if I don't pay attention... Alas, I don't know if I am old. reason…"

"Ahaha, I must have seen it at some neighborhood event, right? After all, the scope of activities for housewives is not very large."

Meiqin comforted the old lady kindly, but at this moment a burst of wonderful music came to her ears.

Mikoto looked up in surprise and saw the music coming from the speakers in the cabin. The music had a penetrating nature similar to electronic sounds, which stimulated Mikoto's eardrums and aroused a certain strange emotion in her heart.

At this time, there was a popping sound from the side.

Meiqin turned her head and saw the old lady who was chatting with her suddenly passed out on the ground. When she was surprised, a strong drowsiness suddenly hit her.

Miqin only felt that her spirit was being tightly pulled by an invisible force, dragging her into an invisible abyss.

That feeling made Mikoto feel lazy, she subconsciously looked at her husband, but was shocked to see the objects around her floating up.

Mikoto desperately stretched out her hand to grab the reliable person, but before touching Hiroshi's hand, her consciousness was suddenly disconnected.

**

The sudden fainting of several passengers in the residential area and the accompanying unimaginable spiritual commotion caused the already gradually stable situation to become turbulent again.

The guard sps guarding the cabin were busy dealing with emergencies, but they didn't notice that the overall atmosphere of the cruise ship had quietly changed.

But it's not their fault. The only people who can detect the abnormality at the current point in time are the aborigines on the mysterious side, or people who have a deep relationship with the mysterious side—

When it comes to the karma with the mysterious side, there is probably no one in the whole boat that is more profound than Kazuma.

As a character who successively broke through two Chang'an lands and sits in a Chang'an dojo, Kazuma realized the foreshadowing of Aichuan Farong almost at the same time that the music sounded.

"Artificial constant darkness!?"

You actually got it out? Kazuma looked at Falong Aikawa in astonishment.

The so-called "eternal darkness" is an area ruled by mysterious laws, in which "science" will be weakened, and monsters can exert their true power before the mysterious decline.

The nightmare-eating tapir, eager to revive its former glory, used the door-opening experiment to promote "artificial eternal darkness", that is, to sacrifice multiple spiritual abilities as human pillars, and transform ordinary space into a place of eternal darkness in a way similar to artificial kitsch.

The nightmare-eating tapir used this technology to build a castle in the Nine Ghosts Office that was more famous than the Dagu City, so the so-called "artificial constant darkness" should have been a success.

Kazuma originally thought that this forbidden technology would die with the demise of the dream-eating membrane, but did not expect Aichuan Farlong to inherit its achievements?

It was as crazy as putting a Segatling machine gun into the hands of a murderer!

"Besides Hasegawa Mikoto, how many other 'renzhu' have you arranged to come on board?"

Kazuma stared at Faron Aikawa through gritted teeth. The strange commotion when I saw Hasegawa and his wife at first finally had an answer.

Mikoto Hasegawa was one of the victims of the door opening experiment.

The nightmare-eating tapir used the door-opening experiment to sow the seeds of nightmares in the minds of thousands of participants. These seeds usually disturb the participants' minds, and when triggered by specific conditions, they will suddenly erupt, thus killing multiple participants. Transform into a pillar together! These human pillars will further affect the surrounding space, and then turn it into a place of eternal darkness!

The whole process is interlocking but extremely hidden. Unless the passenger list is known in advance and compared with the experimental roster, it is impossible to detect the strangeness.

Kazuma also has to admire Aikawa Farron's extraordinary obsession and planning. It is not without reason that this guy can make Fuji Technology so big.

But on the other hand, Hechuan Falong, who was exposed before he even spoke, seemed quite surprised.

"What a chilling reaction speed... So that's how it is. I finally know why Shigehiro-kun failed..." Horyu Aikawa looked at Kazuma with great interest, and his fearful tone didn't seem fake Saying, "Competing with Kiryu-kun, it's not easy even if you want to lead. But, this time, I won after all."

"Really? It's still unknown who will die." Kazuma snorted coldly and caressed Muramasa.

"No no, Kiryu-kun, you really lost this time. Although I underestimated you for a long time, you actually made the same mistake."

"You mean, I underestimated you too?" Kazuma frowned, this feeling of being rhythmically led by Aichuan Faron made him quite mindful.

"Kiryu-kun, you are very strong. If even she can't do anything to you, in fact, I have nothing to do with you... But this has nothing to do with this, because we don't need to fight you anymore, right?" Ai Chuanfa Takashi turned his head to Murasaki Shikibu for confirmation.

"...That's right." Murasaki Shikibu nodded slightly in response. At this time, all the beheading wounds on her wrists have fully healed, not only that, but the ferocious beast-like aura before has also dissipated without a trace.

The "Qi" around her became unbelievably stable, and even gave the illusion that she was being surrounded by the surrounding space.

Unfortunately, this is not an illusion.

"The Lord of Ever Darkness..." Kazuma stared at Murasaki Shikibu, almost gritted his teeth and burst out these four words.

Changde is a space dominated by mysterious laws, and according to the previous experience of Kazuma breaking through Changde, there will be a dominant monster in every Changde.

Known as the "Lords of Ever Darkness", they hold the authority of Ever Darkness and can shape the shape of Ever Darkness as they wish.

It's like the Chang'an Great Lake of the Catfish Essence, and like the Chang'an Castle of the Nightmare-eating Tapir, they are all incredible things created by using mysterious laws.

At this moment, the entire cruise ship turned into a place of constant darkness due to the disturbance of the human pillar, and Zi Shibu was recognized as the master of constant darkness.

This feeling is like two boxers, at the moment when they are fighting inextricably in the ring, they are suddenly knocked down by the opponent's foul action, and then suddenly, they find that everything from the referee to the audience to the lighting engineer has been bought by the opponent—— Kazuma is almost in such a lonely situation.

"Damn..."

Kazuma had to admit that he underestimated Faron Aikawa. The purpose of creating artificial Changan is to win the right of the cruise ship for Murasaki Shikibu, which is beyond his expectation.

Kazuma tightened his hands on the hilt of Muramasa's knife, assessing whether he could take down Murasaki Shikibu if Kazuma was activated at this time?

Kamui will consume a lot of energy and make it difficult to move. If Murasaki Shikibu is not captured, it will be tantamount to losing all chances of victory.

Compared with the hesitant Kazuma, Murasaki Shikibu's aura is rising rapidly.

The surrounding air carried her, and the wind gathered from all directions lifted her into the air. Murasaki Shikibu looked down at Kazuma in mid-air, narrowed his eyes, and gestured slightly.

"What?"

When Kazuma was surprised, a roar came from the inner side of the corridor.

Kazuma turned his head to look, and then saw a black shadow rushing like a gust of wind. The moment before the five sharp claws tore through the horizon, Kazuma leaped backward reflexively, and at the same time set up Muramasa to block.

The sharp claws pulled out several clusters of sparks on the Muramasa sword, and the huge force from the handle sent him flying.

**

At the same time, at the cruise command center, a correspondent reported to Honami Nanjo, who was so busy borrowing the hands of the cat: "Well, a message was forwarded from the shore, and it was addressed to Kiryuu Kazuma."

At first, Butler Suzuki was busy directing. After hearing who the telegram was for, she stopped and looked at the correspondent suspiciously: "What?"

"The signature is Mikako Fujii, may I ask..."

Hearing that it was Mikako's telegram, Butler Suzuki lost interest all of a sudden. After all, the butler had heard about Mikako's character, so she definitely wouldn't have any serious business.

But Master Suzuki suddenly thought that Mikako is not what she used to be now. She might be the best friend of the princess in the future. tall lady.

There should be no points that might offend her—although with Mikako's heartless character ~lightnovelpub.net~, she probably doesn't know how to write the word "resentment", but what if?

Master Suzuki: "Give it to me, I will convey it."

"yes."

Then the butler took the telegram and expanded the content directly, so that it can be conveyed verbally through the communication machine later.

However, the content of the telegram made the old man Suzuki frown.

The telegram is like this: Kazuma Ma, go to the side of Tokyo Bay tonight, next to the ruins of the fort in Odaiba, let me show you something fierce! Must come!

In this day and age, telegrams are paid by the word, especially for international telegrams, one word is so expensive that it can make Kazuma and Chiyoko's heart beat a little slower.

"What the hell?" The old man was stunned. He couldn't think of Mikako's intentions at all, but it was right if he couldn't think of her intentions, it was Mikako after all.

"Forget it, don't worry about it, anyway, we are already on the high seas, so we will definitely not be able to make an appointment with Kazuma tonight. Whatever it is." Master Suzuki thought of this, and threw himself into conducting.
