Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 163 May I interview you, sir?
The rain intensified, making it impossible to tell whether it was night or afternoon.

The entire deck was shrouded in clamor, except for the will-o'-the-wisp lamp that swayed in the storm, which still emitted a faint but steadfast light.

Chen Qi casually found a few skeleton pirates, piled them up to make a chair, and then sat down.

Although it's a bit uncomfortable, there's no better chair on this dilapidated ghost ship.

It was Peilu… Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart gradually eased.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen the chief reporter of the White Dove Times, the biggest information broker in Moonstone City, for a long time.

Chen Qi vaguely remembered that after failing to find the Flower Witch, Peru became completely depressed.

In search of big news, she ventured into the Rift Sea, but unfortunately, most of her operations ended in failure.

She didn't come across any interesting news.

Therefore, the news recently reported by the White Dove Times is all outdated and uninteresting, and its content is not even as good as watching three deep-sea sea sprites perform a slutty dance.

The only somewhat interesting part was the interview with the ghost captain.

However, to my surprise, they actually conducted a second interview!
She actually wanted to do this kind of hard work twice!

There hasn't been any big news from Witch Sea lately, which has left Peru with nothing to do...

Chen Qi frowned, looking at the wet Pei Lu on the ground, pondering how to handle the situation.

First, he examined his own appearance.

The hunter's clothes were soaked by the storm and fluttered in the wind like a tattered flag.

The Hunter's Garment with Ember Touch is enough to cover the face, and when combined with the state of being surrounded by embers, it can even disrupt the detection of spiritual power.

The clothes are fine; the problem lies with Peilu.

Peroo must have secretly hidden in the barrel at some point, intending to take the opportunity to interview the ghost captain.

Unfortunately, given the Ghost Captain's current condition, he probably can't give her an interview.

Peluru, soaking wet, knelt on the ground with her buttocks sticking out. She raised her head tremblingly, and her once bright, golden eyes, like those of a leopard cat, became dull and lifeless, even carrying a hint of fear.

If Peluru knew it was me, her first words would definitely be to ask me for a free meal.

She didn't discover my identity, or even suspect anything... Chen Qi concluded, then adjusted his voice and waited quietly for her to speak.

The chief reporter's appearance was so sudden that he was completely at a loss for what to do at first.

Peru, kneeling on the ground, slowly raised her head a little higher. Only after she was sure that she wouldn't have her neck cut off if she raised her head too high did she dare to look at the person in front of her.

Amidst the torrential rain, beneath the tattered banner of the ghost ship, a black-clad hunter sat cross-legged atop a skeleton-like corpse, a crimson longsword resting on his lap.

Behind that, two thick, smooth tentacles were wiping the long sword.

Slippery, slippery—

The ghost captain who had threatened her last time was now being trampled underfoot by the hunter's boots like a stepping stone, his arrogant eyes now devoid of any life.

The Ghost Captain!! It's on the front page of my White Dove Times newspaper!!!
At this moment, only two words were in Peluru's mind:
"Fuck!"

She originally intended to interview the Ghost Captain, but instead encountered a character even more ruthless than the Ghost Captain.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this monster is even more violent than the Ghost Captain!
Even the hot-tempered Black Mud was intimidated by his aura!
What should I do? Pelu, bewildered in the wind, clenched her fists and racked her brains.

Should I ask, sir, how did you kill the ghost captain?

No, no, no! If this happens, they'll definitely use me as a demonstration! How to take down the Ghost Captain!

Or, why don't you ask them if they've had dinner?
No! No! No! If she did that, the other party would definitely devour her alive! These monsters like to eat people raw, especially a naive and curious girl like her!
This monster looks like the kind that likes to eat people alive. Maybe I should pretend to be a monster too, give him a wicked smile, and discuss my experiences of eating people with him?

No, she has absolutely no experience in cannibalism, she'll definitely be exposed!

No! There's not enough time! I can't think anymore!

boom!
In the wind and rain, Peilu bit her lip and lowered her head, saying:
"terribly sorry!!"

In the midst of the storm, Pelle shouted with exceptional clarity; even experienced public relations staff at the White Dove newspaper would find it difficult to utter such a standard apology!
Her years of experience in courting disasters have taught her that when you don't know what to say, saying 'sorry' is always the right thing to do!

When facing a rational monster, this is definitely the right choice!
"???"

Chen Qi, sitting in the skull chair, was momentarily stunned.

What is she apologizing for?
Was he frightened, causing him to talk nonsense?

Interesting reaction... Chen Qi smiled and pointed to the long sword on his leg.

Seeing that Chen Qi did not make a move directly, Pei Lu blinked her golden eyes after apologizing and said pitifully;

"Um...excuse me...may I leave now? Or, what do I need to do to leave..."

"Want to leave..." Chen Qi pondered for a moment, then stroked his chin. To be honest, he didn't know what to do with Pei Lu.

In the Witch Sea, Peru is the kind of character who looks like a minor monster, but is actually a major boss.

Peru is very likely a fringe hunter, someone who participated in the fringe campaign, someone who reached beyond the New Sun world.

The opponent's strength is a mystery; the only certainty is that she has a special invincibility mechanism.

Once the health is too low, it will exhibit a completely new second form, enough to stir up a storm, even a storm that surpasses the power of a fourth-tier power.

This is also why Perlu dared to repeatedly court death and yet survive.

Of course, if one insists on saying something, one could use methods such as binding to imprison Peilu.

Chen Qi glanced at Pei Lu.

She was wearing a white shirt, and the only valuable thing she had was a vintage camera; she didn't even have a backpack.

There was nothing to steal, and Peru had helped him a lot on the Witch's Sea, and he wasn't a demon.

This was an accident after all. The best outcome would have been to scare Peroo so that she would ride her big white dove home.

Chen Qi tilted his head, pretended to think for a moment, and finally said:
"Yes, of course, but there will be some price to pay."

"..."

The price... Peru shuddered.

First, she was shocked that the monster in front of her could maintain such a high degree of rationality; second, the other party was actually willing to let her go.

"May I... take my bag... first?"

"can."

Chen Qi said softly.

What price... Peru slowly turned around, gripped her buttocks, and walked very, very slowly.

Those guys who verbally release people and then deliver a final shot to demonstrate their ruthlessness are countless in the Witch Sea.

Perhaps, she will become a stone for the Black Hunter to test his skills.

Her large white dove wasn't with her, so she had to swim back.

In a panic, Peroo bent down on the rain-soaked deck and picked up her briefcase.

Inside the briefcase, a draft was visible—a draft of an interview with the ghost captain.

The carefully prepared draft was quickly soaked by the rain...

Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness washed over her.

This time, she spent three days and three nights hiding in the merchant ship, pretending to be a precious wine in a barrel, before she finally managed to sneak onto the ghost ship and arrive at it again.

In order to gather information, she concealed her spiritual power and stayed in the dimly lit wooden barrel for six hours.

If she goes back like this, she'll definitely be laughed at by that bastard Lilith from the Witch Times.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Perlu, and memories flooded back.

She remembered that the monster in front of her was the Black Hunter who appeared with the Flower Witch in the Sea of ​​Rifts!

This black hunter actually reached the near sea and hunted down the ghost captain.

This information has not been reported by any newspapers!

Huge news... Peroo swallowed hard, her heart pounding faster and faster in the storm.

If no major news breaks, she will definitely be trampled underfoot by her successor, Lilith.

Once Lilith's Witch Times becomes the bestseller, she'll only be fit to lick her juniors' feet.

Finally, after a fierce struggle, Peroo bravely turned around:

"Excuse me... may I interview you, Mr. Black Hunter?"

"???"

Peilu looked at Chenqi with a mixture of fear and anticipation!

As expected of you... Chen Qi looked at Pei Lu in front of him speechlessly.

What makes Peroo truly remarkable is her ability to act with extreme audacity while simultaneously being terrified.
