Simultaneous Transmigration: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

Chapter 400 Troublemakers at Sea
Enmat Port

After making dumplings for Huang Beibei, Qin Sheng left Backlund. Now, returning to this bustling port can be considered a triumphant homecoming.

"The Prophet's potion ingredients are found in the Misty Sea, which is quite far away. I wonder if there's been any trouble with my ship..."

After Qin Sheng killed Lieutenant General Twilight, he left the captured pirate ship, Twilight, near the port and hid it using extraordinary means.

As we all know, cultural workers must have culture, and navigators must have ships.

Bernadette is no longer by Qin Sheng's side. As a mysterious queen of the sea and the leader of the secret organization Dawn, she has many things to do.

Therefore, Qin Sheng decided to go to sea by himself.

As he pondered, Qin Sheng walked along the streets of Port Engmat. Before long, he stopped. Ahead of him, a house was surrounded by police, who were preventing passersby from approaching.

As you can see, the front door of the house is damaged and one of the windows is broken.

"What happened?" Qin Sheng leaned over and asked.

A police officer on guard outside frowned. "We are conducting a case. Please leave and do not interfere with our investigation."

"...This is my home."

That's right, the place now surrounded by police is Qin Sheng's home in Port-Enmat.

Looking at his damaged home, Qin Sheng was furious. Who did this?

The officer's expression turned serious. "Your home? Sir, please come with me."

He led Qin Sheng inside. There were more police officers standing in the house, all of them with stars on their shoulders, and there was another person who was particularly eye-catching.

It was a woman wearing a hood, with blue eyeshadow and blush, and a silver chain with a white crystal pendant wrapped around her wrist; she had an eerie aura.

Qin Sheng was speechless when he saw these people.

He could tell at a glance that these people were the night watchmen of Enmat Port.

The extraordinary individuals stationed by the church in various locations usually disguise themselves as police officers, which makes them more convincing to ordinary people.

But what Qin Sheng was most concerned about was the mess inside the house; the tables and chairs were broken, and there were burn marks on the floor.

This is outrageous! Do you even know I just became a demigod?
"Who is this? Why were you brought in?" a police officer with blue eyes asked.

"This gentleman is the owner of the house," the police officer explained.

"Are you Noah Sothos?" The eerie woman looked over, her emerald eyes seemingly possessing the power to see into people's hearts.

Noah Sothos is Qin Sheng's full name in the mysterious world.

"It's me," Qin Sheng nodded.

"Officers, what happened at my house?"

“Dalie Simone,” Dalie asked.
"What is your relationship with Ham?"

Sure enough, given the familiar style and the location of Port Enmat, the woman's identity was no surprise to Qin Sheng.

Daly, a genius who independently mastered the art of role-playing, quickly became a Sequence 7 in the Corpse Collector path and held a significant position within the Church of the Night.

She was originally a night watchwoman in Tingen, but due to her outstanding performance, she was transferred to Port Engmat. She has maintained contact with Tingen and they have a friendly relationship.

“Ham is my friend,” Qin Sheng explained.

"Before I left Porto Enmat, I rented the house to the siblings."

Ham is a friend of the enigmatic Qin Sheng that they can get along with. Similar to Qin Sheng and his sister, Ham also lives with an older sister.

Before leaving for Backlund, Qin Sheng figured his house was just sitting empty anyway, so he symbolically charged a small fee and rented it to the Ham siblings.

I don't need to make money, just having someone to clean is fine.

"Has something happened to Ham?" Qin Sheng sensed something.

"His sister, Isa, came to report that her brother had been kidnapped," another officer replied.
“We are investigating this kidnapping case, sir. We need to ask you a few questions.”

“I moved to Backlund a month ago and don’t know much about Ham’s experience,” Qin Sheng said, observing his home.

"But if you have any questions, I can answer them."

Finally, Qin Sheng followed Dai Li and the others back to the Night Church in Enmat Port.

It wasn't that he encountered police brutality, but rather that Qin Sheng wanted to see Isa and get more detailed information from her.

"If the Night Watchers are on the move, then this matter must involve some mysterious force. Could it be that I killed Lieutenant General Twilight and this is retaliation?" Qin Sheng wondered to himself.

If that's the case, then it's like innocent bystanders being harmed.

In the church's main prayer hall, a pale-faced girl in a gold-embroidered robe is looking up at the dark ceiling.

Her appearance was ordinary, but she had a certain heroic air about her.

“She was frightened, and the environment inside the church gave her the greatest peace; the goddess protects every believer,” Daly said.

She took the initiative to ask Qin Sheng for information.

"Praise the goddess."

Qin Sheng nodded and tapped his chest four times, outlining the shape of a crimson moon.

Since it's free, it's perfectly fine to just believe it verbally.

If the Goddess of Night could really give Qin Sheng a magic potion...

I can date, and I can love goddesses.

"Ms. Daly, could I speak with Isa alone?" Qin Sheng asked.
“We’ve known each other for a long time, maybe I can help her get out of this dark place.”

Dai Li looked Qin Sheng up and down and smiled slightly, "You are indeed a handsome young man who makes people want to open their hearts to you."

"I'm happy to give you some time."

Qin Sheng didn't respond. Because of some past experiences, Dai Li really liked to make dirty jokes, but she actually liked Captain Dunn of the Tingen Night Watch team and wouldn't put her dirty jokes into action.

"Isa," Qin Sheng said.

"Noah?!" Isa turned around, immediately stood up, somewhat surprised and unusually happy.

"When did you get back? Ham knows..."

At this point, the joy of seeing her friend again vanished, and Isha fell silent.

"I heard about it from the police officer. Isa, what exactly happened to Ham?"

Qin Sheng's words contained a comforting power, bringing peace to Isa's heart.

"Ham has been arrested..."

Last night, someone broke into Qin Sheng's house under the cover of darkness and violently abducted Ham.

“The murderer is not human.” There was a hint of fear in Isha’s eyes.

"He could kick the door down, and he could also unleash flames, freeze objects, or burst into blinding flashes."

It was because of this information that the night watchmen were able to respond immediately after receiving Isha's report.

This was clearly the work of an extraordinary person.

"Freeze? Flash? Kick the door open?"

This sounds like a mage-like ability, but low-ranking "mages" don't have the physical ability to kick a door down.

Was it aided by extraordinary weapons? Or magical artifacts?

As for why Isa was unharmed, it was because Ham desperately created an opportunity for her to escape.

"Why would Ham be targeted by someone like that... Have you encountered anything strange lately?" Qin Sheng asked.

Isa nodded, her expression sorrowful, and said:

"Two weeks ago, Ham came back from working at the docks at night. He was very excited and said that our fate would be changed, that he would give me a better life, and that he would take me to live in Backlund in the future." Backlund, the city of all cities, the land of hope, is a place where gold pounds are everywhere, representing beauty, happiness, and abundance in the eyes of many ordinary people.

"Then Ham showed me something. For some reason, his strength became very great, and he learned a lot of fighting techniques that looked impressive."

He said it was a gift from the goddess, a miracle.

“I don’t understand what happened to him, but he became very mysterious after that day. He came home very late every day, and later he even told me that he wanted to go out to sea and become a pirate.”

"I've been worried all along, until last night..."

Increased strength? Suddenly mastered fighting skills? Want to be a pirate again?
Qin Sheng frowned; this was clearly a change caused by taking a magic potion.

However, judging from this, Ham shouldn't be implicated in the matter of the Twilight General. Even if the Church of War wanted to retaliate, it's unlikely that they would give him a potion first.

This experience felt more like being drawn into a vortex of grudges and conflicts in an extraordinary world.

"I think I know what's going on."

"Noah, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this," Isa said, forcing herself to sound cheerful.

"Once the police find Ham, we will compensate you and help you repair your house."

Isa knew in her heart that the chances of her brother coming back alive were very slim.

"It's nothing serious, no need."

Qin Sheng: "From now on, you should stay in the church to avoid being targeted by the people who took Ham."

He quietly took a strand of Isaac's hair, offered her a few words of comfort, and then turned and left.

Dai Li was standing at the church entrance. Qin Sheng walked up to her, and the psychic said:
"I checked the information, and you know Klein, right?"

"Yes." Qin Sheng nodded.

Dai Li smiled. "Not long ago, that young man was involved in a murder case. Several of his classmates died. I was involved in that case. When the police in Tingen were investigating Hoy University, they happened to learn about your sister's transfer."

"A brother and sister who have always stayed in Port Enmat have managed to transfer to Backlund University. Handsome young man, you are very capable."

"You don't suspect that Ham's abduction is related to me, do you?" Qin Sheng shrugged.

“I live in Queens Backlund, I don’t rent.”

Daly: "..."

Even after wiping out the entire Night Watch squad in Enmart Harbor and selling off their extraordinary traits as a package deal, they still couldn't afford a villa in Queens.

"I just want to remind you that you shouldn't act impulsively in some things."

Dai Li suspected that Qin Sheng was also an extraordinary individual, and might even have joined some mysterious organization, otherwise there would be no reason for him to live in Queens.

However, the official attitude towards wild extraordinary individuals is not to exterminate them; they generally tacitly allow their existence. Since Qin Sheng did not commit any crimes, the Night Watchers would not do anything to him.

Moreover...

The remnants of the old regime are the real masters!
“Madam, I’ve actually heard Klein mention you before. He said you’re the most famous psychic in Ahowa County.”

Qin Sheng was not lying.

He maintained correspondence with Backlund and Klein, and it was Mr. Fool who initiated the correspondence, subtly inquiring about certain things.

Klein knew that the emperor was Qin Sheng. There were some mysterious questions that fools couldn't ask, but college student Klein could.

Therefore, Qin Sheng also became Mr. Fool's pen pal.

Dai Li paused for a moment, then asked, "What else did he say to you?"

The affairs of the Night Watchers must be kept secret and cannot be leaked. She thought Klein seemed honest, but could he actually be a traitor?
"He said he found a satisfactory, well-paid job with great potential for future promotion," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, he also specifically mentioned his boss, Mr. Dunn Smith, who is a man with a bad memory but is very considerate of his subordinates."

Dai Li smiled and said, "That's a very fair assessment."

"However, Mr. Dunn seems to have some troubles as well. According to Klein, this boss seems to have a secret crush on a lady, but he has never been able to muster the courage to express his feelings." Qin Sheng changed the subject.

Daisy's heart tightened. "Does Dunn have someone he likes?"

"That's what Klein said. The other person used to be Mr. Dunn's colleague, but because he was too outstanding, he was noticed by a higher-ups and transferred to another place for careful training."

"This made Mr. Dunn somewhat inferior, and he dared not express his love, for fear of jeopardizing the lady's future."

Dai Li's eyes grew brighter and brighter, her hands trembling with excitement.

Isn't that describing me?

"To be honest, I think Klein's job is a bit too leisurely, giving him time to pay attention to these things," Qin Sheng remarked.

"This salary is really easy to get by."

Klein hadn't actually told Qin Sheng about these things, but if Daly confronted him face to face, he would definitely have to admit it, even if he had to hold his nose.

How could Mr. Fool allow the Emperor of the Tarot Society to fall?

Next, Dai Li hurriedly asked Qin Sheng a few questions, made a registration with the night watchman, and then let him leave.

She plans to apply for a business trip to Tingen immediately after the Ham case concludes.

"Let me see what's going on."

Qin Sheng held Isha's hair and cast a small spell to track down those related to her by blood.

This is the advantage of the Secret Seeker Path for Qin Sheng: it allows him to fully transform knowledge from other worlds into abilities for the Mysterious World.

If you choose the primitive path of a warrior or hunter, then just honestly use your fists to beat people up.

His hair stood straight, pointing in one direction, and Qin Sheng followed the sign to South Street.

This is the slum of Port-Enmat.

After arriving at the outside of a house, Qin Sheng's hair returned to normal. He went inside and saw a young man lying on the ground.

His eyes were wide open, his limbs were twisted, and he was no longer breathing. Judging from the body temperature, he should have been killed when Isha went to call the police.

Qin Sheng looked at Ham and sighed. He was used to death, but the passing of life was never a pleasant thing.

Afterwards, Qin Sheng communicated with Ham's corpse and learned more from its broken spirit.

Two weeks ago, Ham was working at the dock at night when he found a body floating in the water. The body was well-dressed.

He was very brave and went to retrieve the body, but when he swam back to shore, he accidentally ate a clump of flesh from the corpse and almost died.

Qin Sheng knew that this was the extraordinary characteristic extracted from the corpse.

After enduring the transformation caused by the potion's power, Ham's strength and speed increased significantly, and he also learned to use various weapons and mastered many fighting techniques.

"It must be an extraordinary characteristic of warriors."

Furthermore, Ham found a treasure map on the corpse, which was a path to disaster.

The body belonged to a pirate who had obtained a treasure map, but the information was leaked, and he was targeted by other pirates, resulting in the destruction of his ship and his death.

Ham was approached because of the treasure map.

"The pirates on the Ironblood..." Qin Sheng looked towards the sea.

Because Qin Sheng killed Vice Admiral Twilight and did not appear on the sea afterwards, seemingly having no intention of replacing Vice Admiral Twilight, one of the seven pirate generals' positions became vacant.

Many ambitious pirates were tempted by this and tried to obtain the title of general, just as in the original story, after the death of the hurricane admiral, the sea was in turmoil.

The owner of the Ironblood is one of them, and he has overpowered all others, already earning the reputation of Ironblood Lieutenant General.

The pirates who committed the crime in Port Enmat were from the Ironblood, a raging citizen of the Sailor Path Sequence 8.

"Not only do they want to seize the land I conquered, but they also come to destroy my house. The local pirates are really too unruly!"

Every country has its laws, and every sea has its rules.
