Chapter 174 Seizing the Ship
Wu Changling asked the two to enter the room, and at the same time, he did not avoid Jianxing and the negotiation master, and let them follow and listen.

We must put some pressure on them. They can't just take advantage of the fact that they joined early and have connections and continue to play badly.

Look at them. With the same task prompt, Jian Xing and the Negotiation Master couldn’t make any progress in two days. But they completed it in one night.

They must be made to feel a sense of crisis, as hidden forces do not want to keep idle people.

Wu Chang sat on the sofa in the living room. The Four Vajras were scattered around the room, responsible for vigilance. Jian Xing and the Master of Negotiation stood behind Wu Chang, acting as guards while getting intelligence for free.

Shadow and another player stood opposite Wu Chang across the coffee table.

When the two players met at the door before, they should have been able to determine who was stronger. At this moment, one of them took a half step back, not daring to steal the limelight from Shadow, and let Shadow speak first.

Shadow said with great confidence, "Mr. Li, I have already found the secret ritual master and werewolf you are looking for."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows. The task he gave to Shadow was to find one of them, but he didn't expect that Shadow had found out the identities of both of them.

Lao Liu was also a despicable and sinister person, and he also completed the task to the highest standard. He saw his own style in the shadow.

Shadow placed the two photos on the coffee table and pushed them in front of Wu Chang.

"The name of the secret master registered on board is Scott, a mixed-race of Gaomu and Midi. He is the archbishop sent by the New Cosmic Church to Midi to preach. He lives in the second to last cabin on the fourth floor."

The picture shows Scott explaining the prayers to the believers on the fourth deck. He has obvious mixed-race features, outstanding looks, and wears thin-framed metal glasses. He looks gentle and elegant, like a student who has not yet left the ivory tower.

Shadow added, "When I was investigating him, I found a noteworthy piece of information. Park Changmin lives in the third-to-last cabin on the fourth floor. There are guests in the last guest room, but the person inside never comes out. I tried to sneak in, but there is a mystic formation guarding the room, and I can't get around it."

Wu Chang nodded and wrote down the information.

The Tranquility Sect was indeed well prepared. In addition to the ritual masters, there were also experts.

After speaking to the secret ritual master, Shadow continued:

"The werewolf is not a real monster. His true form is human. When he boarded the ship, his registered name was Evans. He is an officer of the Midi Kingdom stationed in the Gaomu Kingdom. He lives on the fifth floor of the cabin."

"Besides me, people from the New Universe Sect are also investigating him. I overheard their conversation and they called Evans the Blood Wolf, and they were very fearful in their words."

Wu Chang nodded with satisfaction. Look, this is what professionalism is.

When investigating intelligence, not only the target is investigated, but also members of other forces of the target must be investigated.

Although this is mostly an excuse, Shadow should have known Blood Wolf before, but at least he has the intention.

Wu Chang smiled and said, "Very good, I admire capable people like you the most."

"The faction trial mission is completed, and the completion evaluation is perfect. Li Zaishe is very satisfied with you. If your faction wins after the dungeon ends, you will receive additional rewards."

"Li Zaishe has recruited you. Do you choose to join Li Zaishe's forces?"

Faced with the copy settlement that appeared before his eyes, Shadow chose to accept it without hesitation.

He bowed slightly and said, "A capable boss will attract capable employees. I am honored to work under Mr. Li."

The player behind the shadow is a woman with long wavy red hair. She looks petite, but her body is firm and full. She has amazing explosive power and is a player who specializes in strength.

The woman's code name was Great White Shark. The reason Wu Chang chose her, in addition to her excellent attributes, was because she had a special talent - captain.

As long as it is a ship, or something that can be judged as a ship, Great White Shark can ignore the driving conditions and use his talent to control it directly.

Although Great White Shark was Wu Chang's designated member, in order to take Shadow's feelings into consideration, he still symbolically prepared a task for her.

Investigate whether Captain Jiang Junxi and First Mate Li Yuanzhi of the Star Leap have been in contact with unidentified persons.

The unknown persons here obviously refer to the players.

Great White Shark's talent is to be a captain, and her peers are her enemies, so it is perfect for her to investigate the captain of the Star Leap.

The great white shark followed Shadow's example and began to report the results of its investigation.

Whether it was from the resentment of the Song of the Sea or the performance on the Star Leap, on each ship carrying sacrifices, although the captains were very respectful to the entourage of the New Universe Sect, they did not blindly follow their orders, but maintained a kind of independence from each other.

After investigation, it was found that the captain and core crew members on the ship were indeed connected to the players and were an independent force rather than vassals of the New Universe Sect.

When the call came from the deep sea last night, Captain Jiang Junxi was in contact with three players. The great white shark did not have the stealth ability like Shadow, and could not take clear photos without the other party noticing. However, she remembered the three people present and they were easy to find.

In addition, the great white shark, like a shadow, also discovered an important piece of additional information.

They were Captain Jiang Junxi and First Mate Li Yuanzhi, including several core crew members pointed out by Wu Chang, all of whom were navy officers.

Takagi country has a tradition of military service, but Jaws is not saying they were navy, but that they are active navy!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room turned their eyes to the great white shark.

It is a bit too magical that the official active navy participated in the sacrifice of a conspiracy organization and appeared as a collaborator of the New Universe Sect.

Even Wu Chang, who maintained his cool and domineering personality, couldn't help but frown and asked, "How did you find out?"

Great White Shark said lightly, "Because my skills are shining."

The great white shark's captain talent actually has a prefix in front of it. The full name of the talent is Pirate Captain.

In addition to being able to operate all types of ships, pirate captains also have a natural hostility towards all official military personnel, especially the navy.

When facing the army of official forces, the Great White Shark's damage will increase by 15%, and its own damage will increase by 10. If the opponent is the navy, the effect will be doubled.

When the great white shark approached the captain and his companions, her skills responded.

Everyone was silent for a while. This reason was too sufficient.

After hearing this, Wu Chang couldn't help but look at the great white shark a few more times. This kind of in-depth intelligence is difficult to discover unless you put a lot of effort into investigating it. It is almost impossible to discover it at the beginning.

Turtle, I found a treasure.

After he sent out the recruitment to Great White Shark, the number of players in his faction reached four.

Facing the four men, the first task Wu Chang gave them was to let them follow Great White Shark and find the three players related to the captain.

Observe the characteristics of the three targets in advance and formulate corresponding countermeasures.

Today is the third day in the shipwreck zone, and the passengers should have discovered that the shipwreck zone is a bigger mystery.

According to their usual routine, it was time for the captain and crew to take action, and it was also time for him to take action against these crew members.

Great White Shark and a few others left, and less than two minutes later, Li Yubin followed them.

She came alone, without anyone else around her.

Wu Chang waved his hand, signaling the secretary to take the four Vajras out first, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Li Yubin got straight to the point and said bluntly:

"Li Zaishe, there are only two of us now, you don't have to pretend anymore. I know you too well. You will never even look at anything that does not benefit you. Whether it is actively investigating the Song of the Sea or sending people to guard the passengers on the ship, it is not your style. What is your real purpose?" Wu Chang frowned and looked at Li Yubin: "Do you know me well?"

Li Yubin said sarcastically: "Of course, Gaomu Country's underground emperor, I have read the news about you no less than three times."

Wu Chang said in an awkward tone: "You..."

"Isn't it possible that you have a crush on me?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yubin, who was drinking water, almost spit it out.

Looking at Li Yubin who was coughing, Wu Chang cast a spell at the speed of light and quickly delivered a good guy card.

"I know you're a good person, and I appreciate what you did, but I'm sorry, I already have someone I like, but we can be friends. If denying it can make you feel better, I can cooperate with you and pretend that I misunderstood."

Li Yubin took out a tissue and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said in disbelief: "Are you crazy? How could I possibly like you?"

Wu Chang smiled faintly, "Since you insist, then I was wrong."

"Shit..." Li Yubin looked at Wu Chang irritably, feeling like he had been trapped.

Wu Changyun changed the subject calmly, "You came to see me alone today, probably not just to tell me that you have been secretly following me and collecting my personal information."

Li Yubin was going crazy. She was clearly marking the dark side of society and collecting intelligence to strike hard, but how come when Wu Chang said it, it became a perverted stalker?
Wu Chang had already gotten into the topic, and she couldn't get out of it for a while, so she could only follow Wu Chang's topic and said:

"I came here to ask you what you think about what is happening on the Star Jump."

Looking at the irritated Li Yubin in front of him, Wu Chang's mouth curled up slightly. He did this not just to tease Li Yubin, but also to disrupt her composure and mess with her mentality, so as to take the initiative in the conversation.

"I think this was a long-planned action."

Li Yubin: “Yeah.”

"They came here to target me and wanted to attack me."

Li Yubin: "Hmm, hm? Why?"

Wu Chang continued, "It was just such a coincidence. My private cruise ship, which was parked at the port, was damaged by the staff. There happened to be a Star Leap ship at the port that was about to go out to sea. The person in charge of the Harbor Department happened to arrange for me to board this ship, and this ship happened to have an accident."

"One of the links was not so perfect. I would not appear on this ship, and the total wealth of all the people on the ship is not as much as a fraction of a fraction of my wealth, so it is obvious that they are coming for me."

Li Yubin opened her mouth slightly. Although her intuition told her that Wu Chang was talking nonsense, why did it sound reasonable?

After Wu Chang answered the question, he asked Li Yubin, "What do you think of this conspiracy against me?"

Li Yubin first lost the initiative in the conversation, and now she heard a version of the conspiracy that was beyond her expectations, and she was confused for a moment.

"I think we have strayed into a more mysterious conspiracy."

In order to convince Wu Chang that the conspiracy was not directed against him, Li Yubin took out the tablet and showed Wu Chang the information she had collected.

"Two years ago, a friend of mine disappeared on the way to Midi on the Song of the Sea. I was asked by my friend's sister to investigate the Song of the Sea incident. As the investigation progressed, I felt that everything was not simple."

"Every once in a while, a ship disappears in the sea. No one can find the people alive or dead. The leaders of Gaomu Country turn a blind eye to this. And every time there is an incident, the New Universe Sect is involved. Don't you find it suspicious?"

"In order to find out what happened in this sea area, I have been monitoring the movements of the New Universe Sect. I noticed that they were holding similar activities again, so I found a way to board the ship to witness and record their crimes."

This time it was Wu Chang's turn to be speechless. He began to wonder if the woman in front of him thought that because she had a good father, no one would dare to kill her.

Li Yubin said: "But my plan went wrong. I originally thought that the New Universe Sect blocked the signal on the ship, hijacked and transferred all the passengers on the ship, and then drove the ship to a specific location and sank it."

"For this reason, I brought a device to remove the signal blocking, and asked a friend to start a live broadcast in the outside world. As soon as the New Universe Sect takes action, I will immediately remove the blocking and expose their crimes to the public through live broadcast."

Wu Chang leaned back, crossed his legs, crossed his fingers, and said calmly: "Now you realize that it is not the signal jammer that prevents these missing ships from sending out signals, but something else."

Li Yubin sighed and said, "I still underestimated the New Universe Sect. Now the entire ship has fallen into their control. If this continues, the Star Leap will become the next Sea Song. If we want to stop them, we must cooperate and help each other."

"As long as you help me find out the conspiracy of the New Universe Sect and help me make their actions public, I can cooperate with you on other matters."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows. This was what he wanted to hear. The target of Li Yubin's forces had been revealed.

As long as part of the conspiracy of the New Universe Sect is hidden, the final settlement score of Li Yubin's forces will definitely not be higher than his.

Wu Chang nodded and said, "No problem. My request is very simple. I don't trust anyone on this ship except you and the few people around me, so I want to control this ship myself."

"If I take action, you and your people must help me hold back the New Universe Sect."

Li Yubin hesitated when he heard this, "I think what happened to you might really just be a coincidence."

Wu Chang shook his head and said firmly: "I have been attacked and assassinated more than 20 times a year. No one knows assassination better than me. I can feel that this is a conspiracy against me."

Seeing Wu Chang's insistence, Li Yubin had no choice but to agree in order to keep this ally: "I can help you, but you must promise me that you will try to minimize casualties when you take action."

Wu Chang reluctantly agreed: "For your sake."

Before leaving, he asked, "Why didn't you take those people with you?"

Speaking of players, Li Yubin showed a complicated look and whispered:

"These guys who suddenly appeared didn't behave abnormally, but I always felt that they were hiding something. The same goes for you. Don't trust these strangers too much."

Wu Chang shrugged and observed a few seconds of silence for the players in Li Yubin's camp.

Time passed quickly, and in the evening, Star Jump encountered the second ghost ship.

From the name of the ship, people quickly remembered that it was a cruise ship that disappeared twelve years ago.

Because too much time had passed, the resentment on the ship had completely dissipated. There was nothing to gain by going up, and Wu Chang might be attacked by the secret ritual masters and blood wolves instead. So he did not go up this time.

The Star Leap sailed in a straight line in the shipwreck zone for three days, but the surroundings were still empty and there was no sign of leaving this sea area.

Coupled with two consecutive encounters with the legendary ghost ship, even the most obtuse passengers realized that they were trapped here, and what was waiting for them was likely the same as the passengers on the two ghost ships.

An unspeakable panic began to spread among the passengers.

At night, the call from the deep sea still makes the passengers throw themselves into the sea in their sleep. This time, hundreds of passengers were affected in the first half of the night alone.

At four o'clock in the morning, just as more and more passengers were affected by the call of the deep sea and were about to fall into a sleepwalking state, the deafening whistle woke up everyone who was sleeping.

People gathered on the third-floor deck of the passenger ship in their pajamas and coats, listening to the shouts of the crew in the corridor.

At the front of the deck, Captain Jiang Junxi and First Mate Li Yuanzhi stood in front with weapons in hand, and several core members scattered around, surrounding the passengers.

With the help of Park Changmin and other New Universe sect believers, Kang Junxi and others quickly controlled the situation. All the passengers sat cross-legged on the spot, looking up at Kang Junxi who was holding a weapon in front of them.

Just as Wu Chang expected, Jiang Junxi, Park Changmin and others could no longer hold back and wanted to come out and cause trouble.

He gave Jian Xing and his men a look, and they also began to move and start to seize the boat.
