Liang Jian: I have a canteen

The innermost part of the cargo hold is a cold storage room that is usually locked and rarely even entered by the first mate.

There are plenty of fruits and vegetables, as well as many other food items, displayed here.

This wasn't Huanji's first time here; she led Xu San to the deepest part of the cold storage room once again, as if she knew the way well.

Xu San looked up at the dim light and asked, "Is it powered by batteries?"

“I heard this place has its own power supply,” Huanji replied.

Xu San walked to the lamp, felt around on the wall for a while, and then stopped. "We need a key here."

Huanji walked over, took out a small bag from her bosom, and took out lock-picking tools to unlock the door.

Xu San touched the wall again. "There should be a metal door behind this wall. The locking mechanism must be very complicated for a door of this size. Will your tools be able to handle it?"

Huanji was a little annoyed. "Whether it works or not, we have to try."

The Phantom Princess inserted her tool into the lock, then pressed her ear against the wall and began to unlock it.

Meanwhile, Xu San began searching for other things in the warehouse.

He was just looking around randomly, without any particular purpose, just like when he passed by a shopping mall and suddenly decided to go in and browse.

Ten minutes later, Xu San found that apart from a pile of frozen meat and a bit of cold, there seemed to be nothing special here.

“This low temperature,” Xu San stroked his stubble, “could it be for hiding corpses? That David likes to make specimens.”

As he spoke, Xu San seemed to feel that he had found the right direction in his thinking, "A human corpse... if it's prepared, can it be considered a specimen?"

Huanji didn't reply; her unlocking progress was at a crucial moment.

A few minutes later, she let out a heavy sigh and put away her lock-picking tools. "It won't open. Just like you said, this lock is very complicated. It can't be opened with ordinary tools." Xu San stretched his body, did a few waist twists, and then took the Murasame lock off his back. "Let me try."

Huanji glanced back at Xu San, raising an eyebrow. "This door is very thick, at least ten centimeters. Even if your sword is a famous one, it can't cut through such thick metal."

"I've figured out a new trick, let's try it out." Xu San finished his warm-up exercises, picked up the Murasame, and walked to the door. "You should know where the lock cylinder is, right?"

"Here!" Huanji reached out and covered a spot on the door with her palm.

"Okay, I'll give it a try and see if I can destroy the lock cylinder." Xu San said, getting into position.

When Huanji saw Xu San take a fighting stance, she immediately retreated to his side and stared intently at him.

Although the light in the small storage room was dim, she could still observe the details of Xu San's movements up close.

Xu San glanced at Huan Ji, exhaled, and then began to prepare.

The Death Dimension Slash he's going to use this time is different from creating a spatial channel. This time, he'll make the crack shift slightly the instant he creates the spatial channel.

That's what he was thinking; after all, aren't there similar tricks in comics and novels?

If it's in a comic, then it can be too.

After closing his eyes and mentally simulating the details of drawing the sword, Xu San placed his hand on the hilt of the sword. After a moment, he spoke slowly, "From now on, please call me Kuwabara Kazuma."

"Huh?" Xu San's sudden words made Huan Ji's head pop up with a big question mark.

"Watch closely!" Xu San's hand was already gripping the hilt of his sword. "I'll use one hand at a time; this move is called [Severing the Void]!" (End of Chapter)
