Chapter 1060 Multi-party cooperation
Normally, it's almost impossible to catch up with a luxury cruise ship and board it after it has already set sail.

However, Tao Yu had previously saved people from the four major families during a jewelry robbery, and given the powerful impact of the supernatural event itself, people would definitely choose to befriend him, given his status and abilities.

With such top-tier conglomerates helping them, the captain had no room to refuse.

Many tourists on the deck, who were looking at the sea view, noticed the approaching yacht. Then, the cargo receiving window of the cruise ship began to lower rope ladders to pick up Tao Yu and his group from the yacht.

"Haha, welcome to our young duke! I've seen the video of your jewelry heist. Was that an invisible friend next to you?"

The captain, a foreigner, came over to greet us personally, and even joked about it.

However, judging from his attitude, he belongs to the group that doesn't believe it and is mostly joking.

"I guess so, I came here to deal with some issues."

Tao Yu shook hands with the captain and said something noncommittal.

"I have prepared rooms for you, but due to the short notice, they may be a little basic."

"As long as there's a place to stay, I probably won't stay for long."

"Haha, this voyage will last a month. Our next stop is Tokyo, and then we'll go to San Francisco via Hawaii."

Tao Yu didn't say anything more after hearing the captain's words, but simply looked around.

The captain had many fierce crew members around him, many of whom carried the bloody scent of murder. However, the captain himself seemed unaware of this, and as captain, his control over his ship was far too poor...

Huang Yaozu and his group did not reveal their identities at this time, because the ship had already reached international waters and they had no law enforcement authority. Although they carried some weapons, they could only act as ordinary tourists.

There were already quite a few wealthy people on board, many of whom were worth more than Tao Yu. The captain's visit was just a courtesy; he couldn't possibly stay with them indefinitely.

After exchanging pleasantries, they told Tao Yu and the others to make themselves at home.

Big B, who was usually quite arrogant, seemed out of place in this place and couldn't really let loose.

Although he wasn't particularly clever, he understood that this wasn't his own territory and he had to keep a low profile, otherwise he might be thrown into the sea without even knowing why.

On the contrary, Ni Yongxiao's refined and gentle image was quite fitting, and given his past experience, he was no stranger to cruise ships, so he temporarily acted as a tour guide.

"Although I've been on cruise ships a few times, I've never boarded one like this before. Everyone, please go back to your rooms. Our goal is to find someone, but there are many tourists on board, so it's a big task. It would be best if we could find a crew member to help us and give them some money privately..."

Ni Yongxiao understood the current goals and difficulties. Directly confronting the captain was definitely not an option. For an event of this scale to be organized, many of the crew members were either wealthy or influential, and passenger information would certainly need to be kept confidential.

However, if it's not done through official channels, it's much easier to bribe individual crew members privately.

This is how a lot of this kind of information is leaked.

"You're really experienced, that's incredible. You're even better than your dad."

At this moment, Brother B patted Ni Yongxiao with some emotion. He had worked with Ni Kun for a period of time, and he saw the shadow of the shrewd and calculating Ni Kun in Ni Yongxiao, who had even surpassed his master...

……

The captain arranged crew quarters for everyone, and gave Tao Yu a single room as the second mate. Although the overall condition could not compare with the cabins, it was still clean and tidy.

Tao Yu and Yue Huizhen checked in together, and after settling in briefly, they split up to carry out their respective tasks.

The ship's radio is the primary means of communication here, and each person is also equipped with a walkie-talkie and tuned to a specific channel for easy communication.

Compared to the busy others, Tao Yu seemed much more relaxed, taking Le Huizhen to experience the cruise ship's activities and enjoying the essential oil services from the therapists in the SPA room.

Being able to work on this cruise ship, her skills were undoubtedly excellent. Lok Wai-ching even drifted off to sleep next to Tao Yu.

The technician left the room quietly without disturbing them any longer.

But at that moment, the door was opened again from the outside and then locked. A seductive figure wearing a vacuum-sealed bathrobe walked over with cat-like steps, skillfully applying essential oils and beginning to provide Tao Yu with a second service.

The gentle touch of fingers glides along, carrying a faint, delicate fragrance.

"Your technique is quite good. What's your name?"

Tao Yu said lazily
"My name is 'First Love'."

The voice of my first love has a magnetic quality, like a gentle massage to my eardrums.

"Who sent you?"

“I’ve always admired the young duke, but I came here on my own…”

My first love's hands continued to massage and wander, then, as if discovering something, she felt a slight tremor in her heart. How could this be...?

"The young duke seems to be in a bad mood, let me help you..."

First Love glanced at the sleeping Yue Huizhen beside him and said, her voice trembling slightly...

……

"...It was Jade-Faced Flying Dragon Ferrari who arranged for me to come here. There was a group of armed men on the ship. He had seen the video of your robbery and wanted to use you to deal with these people first, and then find an opportunity to deal with you..."

First love rolled her eyes, her body occasionally twitching in an indescribable spasm, as if she had been subjected to rigorous interrogation. She confessed to Ferrari's arrangements without reservation and also revealed all the questions.

Despite Tao Yu's use of magic to isolate the area, the commotion here did not affect Yue Huizhen, who was standing nearby.

"So, Ah Jiu, who controls ghosts and harms people, is on the ship. Give me your seat."

Tao Yu didn't proactively go out to investigate, but the information was immediately delivered to her face, which was perfectly reasonable...

Huang Yaozu and his crew spent the whole day outside, giving tips to the crew members, and finally managed to find two people who had sneaked onto the ship and claimed to be Ah Jiu's friends.

The other two in the previous photos, Ah-you and Chin Siu-ho, are also looking for Ah-jiu.

When they met again, they discovered that Tao Yu had even locked down the house number...

This was truly unexpected.

"It still has to be the young duke, that's the efficiency..."

Huang Yaozu was a little dazed, looking at his first love, who was following behind Tao Yu with a flushed face and a sexy, graceful figure. He wondered when the young duke had developed another informant...

"The young duke is here, then we're safe. Alas, Ah Jiu is too deeply possessed by evil. Even if we come here this time, it will probably be difficult to stop him."

After being brought over by Huang Yaozu and the others, Ayou finally showed a hint of joy when he saw Tao Yu.

"You seem to have brought something good."

Tao Yu pointed to a package that Ayou had been carrying on his back.

"This is a compass passed down in my family. It was only recently reactivated, which is how I found out that Ah Jiu was actually creating zombies..."

Ah You's words startled Huang Yaozu and the others nearby. A zombie?

Why is this kind of thing popping up again?

Having already experienced vengeful ghosts and eerie encounters, the appearance of zombies only slightly surprised them before they calmed down.

Humans are indeed highly adaptable creatures.

"Zombies, ah, they bring back some nostalgic memories..."

Ayou's words made Tao Yu feel a little sad. Back then, making zombies was one of her initial skills, and she followed the same path as Ayou.

"Alright, since we've run into it, we should take care of it. Bring me the compass so I can take a look."

Ayou didn't hesitate at all. Based on what he had seen in some videos, the other party's ability in this area was even better than his own.

To be honest, in the era before zombies, most of his family's traditional skills have been lost.

Ayou untied the package, took out the ancient compass inside, and handed it to Tao Yu.

Tao Yu casually took the compass and examined it carefully. It was pure black, with the twelve Heavenly Stems and the Eight Trigrams engraved on it, forming a unique balance.

Once an imbalance of yin energy occurs nearby, it will activate by performing basic orientation, much like a seismograph.

Besides these basic functions, this compass is also connected to the magic of this world, making it a superior spatial artifact!

"It's not just a simple magical artifact; when it was made, at least one eerie element was sealed inside, capable of unleashing a ghostly realm that can be manipulated by humans..."

Tao Yu also felt a sense of awe at the wonder of the abyss.

These chaotic worlds merge, yet are interconnected and interwoven.

Perhaps because it's an antique, it can be integrated more naturally. "I want this as payment."

"No problem, but the specific methods of control..."

Just as Ayou had readily agreed and was about to offer a friendly reminder, he saw Tao Yu begin forming hand seals with remarkable skill.

Each seal corresponds to one of the twelve Heavenly Stems on the compass. Each seal illuminates a corresponding point of light and begins to slowly deform mechanically.

The variations in the wooden mortise and tenon structure also bring out a unique mechanical aesthetic.

Click click click~
A strange aura began to spread, but it subsided completely after a drop of blood dripped from Tao Yu's fingertip. Eventually, the compass shrank, becoming a palm-sized compass that fell into Tao Yu's hand, where he put it away.

Ah You, standing next to him, also widened his eyes.

"How do you know my family's secret techniques? Many of them have been lost, and I only know three of them."

"There is some connection between us, I learned it from the books passed down by your ancestors. I can teach you later."

The others around also stared wide-eyed. Was this some kind of Taoist magic?

Is it so magical?

“It’s really eye-opening.”

Although it was just a transformation, it still made Huang Yaozu and the others sigh with emotion.

Even the members of Hung Hing looked somewhat awe-inspiring.

Gang members care about this a lot.

Big B is thinking of having someone check the feng shui afterward.

Tao Yu waved his hand dismissively, then stood up.

"Then let's get ready. Let's deal with the immediate trouble first, and then we can deal with your old friend..."

When Tao Yu mentioned resolving the trouble, everyone stood up, eager to get started.

But when he heard the rest, he was stunned.

What's wrong? You mean solving the problem by dealing with that evil warlock?

Almost as soon as Tao Yu finished speaking, a grenade was thrown directly into the window of their crew cabin.

"Fuck!"

Huang Yaozu and the others' expressions changed.

However, Stephen Chow was quick-witted and kicked a grenade back at them.

Chen Jiaju quickly picked up a folding stool and, as if hitting a baseball, knocked the other one away.

Leon reacted extremely quickly, grabbing one and taking it out with his other hand.

Three grenades thrown in exploded outside one after another, eliciting screams and even sudden cries of terror, as if some passengers had discovered what was happening and were frightened.

"What's going on? Where did this grenade come from?"

Huang Yaozu and his men also drew their pistols, their faces serious.

This ship is a bit shady!

"They must be eyeing the cargo and money on this ship."

Tao Yu appeared calm. After whistling, the jackals behind him transformed into spirits and rushed out quickly.

Regardless of whether the original hijackers on the ship believed the videos released earlier.

However, given the troublesome situation involving Tao Yu, it is only natural to address it in advance to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

As the first grenade exploded, gunshots and screams rang out outside after the jackals rushed out.

Some gasps could be faintly heard.

"it is true!"

"That video is real!"

"There really is a ghost!"

"kill him!"

"Be careful!"

"Change to gold bullets! Gold bullets!"

"..."

However, the armed groups in the shadows also took them seriously and specially arranged for people to deal with them.

But when faced with an invisible adversary like jackals, these people seemed powerless.

However, the fact that someone switched to using a few golden bullets midway through revealed another fact: they knew about the existence of the supernatural and the supernatural beings, and had some simple supporting equipment.

It's a pity that the jackals aren't really strange. They can be affected by rune bullets or chocolate, but gold really doesn't work.

The people inside the cabin didn't go out; they just stood guard at the door with their guns, killing several guys who tried to rush in.

The gunfire outside gradually subsided. Jackal, relying on his three body swaps and his top-notch marksmanship, single-handedly resolved the problem outside.

Then he passed through the wall again and came back.

"Boss, the situation outside has been resolved, but it seems there are still quite a few of them. I can possess them about three more times."

The girl next to Tao Yu was seeing this situation for the first time and felt a little uneasy. She moved closer to Tao Yu, which made Le Huizhen smile on the outside but curse inwardly.

Where did this vixen come from? How wicked!

"That's enough. I have the compass with me, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

The footage of Ayou taking out the compass, and the distortion of the compass, were all captured.

Having encountered extraordinary people and events, and even obtained a treasure, subsequent events will become quite logical and reasonable...

"Let's go. Since they've already taken action, let's finish this quickly to prevent them from harming innocent people."

Then Tao Yu, holding the compass, walked straight out...

……

Meanwhile, Ferrari was also keeping an eye on the changes here.

"Sure enough, those supernatural methods are very easy to deal with these ordinary people. We just need to stay on the sidelines and do nothing."

Ferrari's face lit up with a smile when he saw his first love next to Tao Yu in the distance.

The spies are in place, and everything is under control!
……

Meanwhile, the leader of the militants, a handsome retired Marine Corps major named McDonald, had also received news of the defeat at the front.

However, he didn't seem to be furious at all. Instead, he calmly spoke to a cold-faced man next to him, who was wearing a black trench coat, black gloves, and black sunglasses.

“Mr. Fu Guang, it seems that the young duke is also a master of supernatural beings. The strange rules he controls should be possession and control. He seems to have used it three times before. I wonder if that's enough.”

Fu Guang tilted his head, making a cracking sound, and shook his trench coat as he spoke.

“A demon wielder cannot overuse the power of the supernatural. He has already used it three times, which is a sign of weakening him. You all need to switch to golden bullets. I will personally deal with him later.”

As he spoke, he kept turning his neck, and his black trench coat and gloves seemed to tighten up, making a creaking sound.

This made McDonald's eyes show a hint of fear.

These demon wielders are indeed extremely skilled and difficult to deal with.

Only a master of trickery can defeat another master of trickery!
Fortunately, we have the same thing on our side...
