Troublesome situation.

Jotaro, who had already found the ventilation duct, took a step and came to the duct.

You can’t see how deep the pipe is, and if the blockage is in a very deep area, you won’t be able to reach it yourself.

Turning back, Jotaro came to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked on it, pretending to hope someone would come to help. As expected, the guards who were supposed to be outside and keep an eye on the situation did not come, or it was hard to say whether they were still outside.

Without hesitation, Jotaro dragged his chair to the surveillance camera in the room.

Normally, this surveillance camera at the highest point is difficult for people to reach, even with a chair. And even if you can reach it, it is made of metal and difficult to remove. But Jotaro's height played a good role at this time. He stepped on the chair, stretched out his hand and grabbed the surveillance camera, and then with a tearing sound, he broke it off directly, pulling out a long string of wires from the back.

Turning around, he moved the chair to the ventilation duct, straightened the wire, and then took out a lighter to light the rubber on the outside of the wire. In the flames, Jotaro inserted the wire into the duct and poked it deep inside, staring closely at the scene inside the duct in the flames.

call……

My heartbeat is speeding up.

The dizziness symptoms are becoming more and more severe.

I couldn't control myself anymore and started breathing heavily. It was terrible. Moreover, the flame was getting smaller and smaller. Was it because the ignition point of the wire was higher than that of the outer rubber and the oxygen was being consumed at an accelerated rate?

Jotaro squinted his eyes, his vision gradually blurred, and he was on the verge of collapse. It seemed that he could no longer see the situation clearly.

!

And at this moment, suddenly, he felt that the wire seemed to touch something.

It's not hard, but slightly soft, yet has some toughness.

It's like... it's like...

"Uh--"

The chair suddenly fell over, and Jotaro fell to the ground, already unable to control himself and falling into a state of exhaustion.

And the thing that the wire touched at the last moment seemed to shrink back gently and disappeared just like that.

Click——

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you destroy the surveillance camera? Wait, why are you lying on the ground?!"

Because something unusual was discovered in the monitoring room, the two guards who had to rush back from their leisure and entertainment upon being notified had very ugly expressions on their faces. They were about to curse a few words, but unexpectedly found that the situation in front of them was not quite the same as they had imagined.

"Well, you guys actually abused our companions. Even criminals must have their human rights respected. Ritsuka, Kaku, and everyone else come and see how uncultured these guards are."

At the same time, Lin Yi rushed in directly from outside, cursing and acting like a villain who was ready to fight to the death. He rushed in regardless of any obstruction, and then immediately started cursing loudly after seeing Jotaro, attracting the attention of more people passing by. Ritsuka immediately cooperated and talked about the previous situation where a vendor was caught selling rotten food, and Jotaro was beaten (? ) after exposing it, and was arrested after fighting back, which aroused the indignation of many tourists.

And in a place that these people cannot see, in the mental link, at Jotaro's request, Kakui Komeiji temporarily used his own mental power to transform Jotaro's thoughts linked from language into pictures.

Star Platinum

In silence, Jotaro summoned his Stand, a humanoid Stand that was blue-black in color and looked very strong and powerful.

At the last moment just now, before Jotaro "fainted from lack of oxygen", he lowered his head due to exhaustion and was unable to see clearly what was happening inside the dim pipe.

However, his stand did not lower its head, but continued to observe the pipe, looking upwards while hiding in Jotaro's body, observing the pipe where the flame had actually been basically extinguished and it was so dark that almost nothing could be seen.

hum-

During the mental connection, a paintbrush appeared in Star Platinum's hand.

The dim picture that was presented changed rapidly under the observation of the double, becoming clear and bright. The things that the human eye could not observe were all revealed at this moment.

【Lin Yi: This is...】

【Fujimaru Ritsuka: Something like this...】

meat.

The dark red meat completely blocked the ventilation duct.

It even grew an eye and was observing Jotaro's flesh that was blocked in the ventilation duct.

After being touched by the burning wire, it shrank back a bit, and finally retreated on its own when Jotaro fell and the guards outside came in, retreating into the dark red flesh and blood in the darkness.

The initial test results showed that the saviors did not reveal anything special, and the enemy hiding in the dark was caught with a trace.

Chapter 6: Differences in plans?

As night falls, the temperature gradually drops and it is no longer as hot as it was during the day.

The lack of oxygen in the prison area almost killed a customer, which was obviously a serious matter. In addition, Lin Yi and others attracted the surrounding crowd and publicized the fact that the vendor was found selling inferior products. Jotaro was finally released, and the vendor went to an unknown place. Lin Yi guessed that the other party should have been temporarily saved by someone on the ship to avoid the limelight. After all, to be able to sell goods on such a huge ship, there must be more or less people behind it.

All in all, this first round of mutual testing has yielded some results.

Those who were secretly observing them were basically 100% certain that they were enemies. The number was currently unknown, but it was certain that one of them possessed the ability to control flesh and blood, or could transform himself into some special form of flesh and blood.

These flesh and blood seem to have the ability to move autonomously. They can flow back and forth in various pipes and arrive at various places without anyone noticing.

Now it seems that although there is nothing in the shadows watching them, these flesh and blood may play the same role. And the most important point is that Gu Mingdi has no way to sense these flesh and blood, which means that this thing itself does not have the ability to think, and it is likely to be remotely controlled in some way. Therefore, if you think about it from this perspective, it can be understood that all places in the entire cabin can be completely controlled and understood by the enemy.

It's really not just a little trouble.

Lin Yi increasingly felt that this mission was different from previous ones.

[The person watching us from the shadows is probably not the same person who attacked me this time. There are at least two of them.]

Jotaro was sitting on a bench on one side of the deck, resting and communicating with Lin Yi and others through mental link.

[Even passengers who were not the original ticket buyers were tested in this way. It can be seen that the enemies hiding in the dark are determined to carry out their plans and cannot tolerate even the slightest change. Considering this point, they must have some compelling reasons.]

Lin Yi seemed to be dozing off on the surface, but he was actually communicating through the mental link.

【Mr. Lin Yi, have you come up with any plans? 】

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who seemed to be looking at the scenery, asked curiously through the mental link.

[Well, just blow up the engine room or some other important place and force the ship to return. This way, their purpose should be exposed.]

Lin Yi came up with a somewhat bold plan.

[…No, you can’t do this.]

However, unlike previous situations where everyone directly agreed, this time Jotaro directly denied it.

[Turning over the table is indeed an effective approach, but it requires sufficient understanding of the enemy]

[We still know too little about the enemy, and it is not yet time for a direct confrontation. It is just like when taking an entrance exam, we should start with the simple questions first, instead of jumping to the last big question and trying to solve it.]

Jotaro gave a brief explanation of the situation, but Lin Yi couldn't quite understand his metaphor, although Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately showed an expression of empathy.

[But the enemy also doesn't understand our abilities. If we can take the initiative, we may not have fewer cards than them.]

Lin Yi hesitated a little, but still did not give up his idea.

[…Are you ready to abandon all these 10,000+ passengers? ]

The voice that Jotaro conveyed changed slightly.

【…】

Lin Yi did not give an answer.

He just raised his head and looked around.

Little children walked past with laughter under the guidance of their parents. A painter was happily sketching a young girl. A singer was leaning against the railing and singing, with dozens of listeners gathered nearby.

Are we going to fight the enemy directly, with the death of all these people and the sacrifice of more than ten thousand ordinary people as the prerequisite?

[This is such a troublesome situation...]

In the end, Lin Yi could only sigh like this and let go of the thoughts in his heart.

The so-called justice partner style is indeed very troublesome, but if he really drags so many irrelevant people into it, he must admit that he really can't do it. As a savior, he really can't let others bear the danger he has created.

[At least we have already found out some information about the enemy. Well, Mr. Curse Wrist has also reported back. He has confirmed 547 blood and flesh gathering points. All of these things are concentrated in various pipes. There are also some hidden locations. Most of them have not moved, but have grown a large number of organs similar to human ears, as if they are sensing the sounds around them.]

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave new information.

[Can the exact location of each convergence point be determined? ]

Jotaro adjusted his hat with his hand, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

[There are multiple bodies of flesh and blood gathered on each floor. For example, our floor is in the sewer pipes of the restaurant kitchen, in the ventilation ducts of some entertainment facilities, and...]

【kitchen……】

[If there is another attack, the restaurant is very likely to be the target]

This time, before Ritsuka finished speaking, Jotaro and Lin Yi reacted at the same time.

If the other party has another attack attempt, perhaps the restaurant is a more likely place. Whether it is setting traps in the food, or directly causing a commotion in the restaurant and then launching an attack during the chaos, it is entirely possible.

Can we just take it one step at a time for now?

With this mood, Lin Yi and his group disguised themselves as passengers and continued to spend the rest of the time.

The temperature dropped further and further, and as the sky darkened completely, Lin Yi and the others went to the restaurant to eat under the bright starlight. Unlike the previous vendor on the deck, the food in the restaurant was still very normal, even exquisite, but maybe it was because the stall was exposed to have problems with the ingredients before, so they did this?

Unexpectedly, the enemy did not launch any more attacks or probes. The previous attack in the prison was like an illusion. These guys who could not see the direction completely disappeared without any movement at all.

Somewhat strange.

Nothing happened until we finished our meal and left the restaurant.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was a little awkward while eating. How to describe that awkwardness? It was like when a very cute dog was watching over you while you were eating, drooling at the dog, and you wanted to feed it but didn't dare to.

[Have you temporarily given up testing each other? 】

This is the only guess we can make for now. After all, there is no way to find further information right now.

"Sister, um, um, um, do you know where Area A is?"

Then, after finishing the meal and preparing to return to the room, a timid boy approached Gu Ming Di Jue in a corridor, raised his head and asked the monster girl cautiously.

Chapter 7: Silent Moment?

The boy's name was Jamie, and he sounded like a very ordinary guy who could easily disappear in a crowd.

It looked like the child was no more than eight years old, very small, with a face full of tension of being separated from his family and in an unfamiliar environment.

However, after discovering that he and his family were lost, the boy was smart enough to immediately choose to ask for help from people around him and found Gu Mingdi Jue as soon as possible.

Hmm, why is it Miss Gu Mingdi? She looks small like a child, is it because although Gu Mingdi looks young, she is actually very old, so she has the temperament of an elder that makes people feel particularly reassured?

"..."

The look the monster girl cast towards Lin Yi became full of courage at this moment.

"Ahem, um, Jamie, are you saying your family is in Area A?"

Pretending not to notice someone's expression, Lin Yi coughed lightly, squatted in front of the boy and asked patiently.

"Well, Mom said the room number is A49, so it's in the A section."

The boy nodded seriously and spoke a little nervously.

Area A?

Lin Yi raised his head and looked towards the end of the corridor and at the deck outside the corridor exit.

If I remember correctly, Area A should be the exclusive area for the highest-class passengers, and the tourists there are either rich or noble. If this child is really from there, why would he come to this place?

I don't quite understand, did he just run around? Or...

[From what I remember, there is nothing wrong with it. He went through the railings and jumped over the wall to play around and got lost here.]

Gu Mingjijue's voice sounded from the bottom of Lin Yi's heart.

"In that case, let's take you to the entrance to Area A. The staff there should know where to take you."

Nodding slightly, Lin Yi stood up and glanced at Gu Mingdijue, then decided to act in groups of two.

Jotaro and Ritsuka returned to the room first, while Lin Yi and Jue went to Area A. On the surface, it seemed to be just a very normal situation of slightly spreading the team to help others. However, considering the possible enemies on the ship, Lin Yi was a little skeptical that the other party would make some response.

"Let's go."

Lin Yi spoke to the child and took the lead to walk to one side of the corridor.

"Well, thank you uncle and sister."

Jamie said happily and followed.

By the way, isn't this generation called wrong?
