Chapter 205: Isn’t It Just a Coincidence That Everyone Gathered Together?
Coming out of the confinement room, Rin looked at the door that had been locked again, and then glanced at Sha Ye beside him.
"Stupid bat, are you sure he can’t escape?"
"I personally took care of it. How could a mere Level 32 nobody fly away? Why didn’t you just finish him off?"
"No worries. It’s better to inform the captain beforehand before executing a first mate. Once the items are retrieved, everything can be revealed."
"Alright, let’s go now," urged Sha Ye.
At that moment, Connor approached, but Rin ignored him and headed straight out of the ship’s bottom deck towards the hall.
Finally, he stopped in front of the huge fish tank in the hall.
He had wanted to see the tropical fish from another world yesterday, but because of Waste Hero, he couldn’t get close. Unexpectedly, the opportunity presented itself today.
Admiring is just an extra, the real goal is inside the fish tank.
Rin carefully searched from left to right, trying to find the item described by Zhou.
In less than two minutes, Sha Ye excitedly tapped his shoulder, "Quick, is this it?"
Following her gaze, Rin immediately spotted a black slate hidden among some corals.
"It should be right, that Connor, tell someone to fish out that thing."
Connor was still daydreaming, looking a bit uneasy, but upon hearing the words, he finally reacted after a while, directing the crew to use a net from above to fish out the slate.
When the crew brought it up, instinctively reaching out to grab the slate and hand it to Rin, but as soon as their hand touched the slate, black smoke suddenly rose from the floor.
It seemed like his hand got a quick burn, so he quickly pulled it back, almost dropping the slate on the floor.
However, the black smoke disappeared shortly after, Sha Ye took the slate to study closely, while Rin also leaned in to have a look. Besides intricate patterns, there were also some words on the slate, but they were not Chinese characters.
Instead of being words, it’s more accurate to call them symbols, and he couldn’t help but look at Sha Ye.
Sha Ye shrugged, "This thing can’t be put into the space ring. Let’s destroy it first, I’ll tell you later."
Seeing Rin nod, a deep red flame suddenly appeared in Sha Ye’s palm, instantly engulfing the stone slab. The extraordinary flame turned the slab into blue smoke in an instant.
"Um… young master, can I ask a question?"
"No, be quiet, take me to the power room."
Connor wanted to ask why they "found" the stolen item only to destroy it, but before he could finish his sentence, Rin stopped him, leaving him speechless for a moment.
"Also."
Rin glanced at a fish in the tank with a big belly, "There seems to be something in this fish’s belly, probably swallowed by mistake. Remember to take care of it, it’s unsightly."
Connor tensed up slightly, glancing at the strange-shaped fish whose belly was bulging from something it had swallowed, his expression changing for a moment. But seeing Rin already walking away, he let go of the fish, feeling relieved.
Walking behind Rin, as they were leaving, he gave his companion a meaningful look.
Afterwards, the group headed to the power room, found another piece inside the crystal furnace control panel, destroyed it as well, then went to the top of the ship to find the third piece.
The fourth piece was nowhere to be found after a lot of effort in the ship’s control center.
Finally, Sha Ye managed to detect a faint presence, opened the control panel, and found a stone slab hidden inside.
After destroying all of them, Sha Ye whispered to him, "This formation can only hold four pieces in total, there shouldn’t be any extras."
Rin nodded in relief, checked the time, realizing it was past dinner time after a busy period. No wonder he felt so exhausted.
"Rin, over here."
Hearing Waste Hero’s voice, Rin perked up, turned his head and saw Waste Hero crouching on the ground, pointing to a corner.
Following her finger, he noticed a dark object placed in the corner of the wall, visible through a small gap due to aging and corrosion.
Because the color blends in with the wall and there are many instruments inside, it is hard for most people to notice.
Connor found it difficult to stay humble this time, his face looked really bad, he clenched his teeth and fists, and his body trembled slightly.
But he dared not make any reckless moves, because there was a Sha Ye standing in front of him who was of a higher level than he was.
The flames released casually could directly dissolve the stone slab, this special skill was something that ordinary mages could not achieve.
Waste Hero took out the dark thing, tilted her head to look at it, her eyes showed a hint of confusion.
Rin took it from her hand, examined it carefully, and found it was a small stone figure smaller than a palm.
It might not be made of stone material, because it felt very smooth to touch, and had a slight chill.
The stone figure was carved with a figure wearing a black cloak reaching out to the sky, with several vine-like things extending from its back, at first glance, it looked like a sixteen-winged angel.
"It feels eerie, something doesn’t seem right."
The statue had a strange smell, and Rin felt like he had sensed it somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember where, so he gave up trying.
Connor forced a smile and said, "Someone probably left a small craft nearby."
"I wonder if it’s a leftover item… Sha Ye, go ahead and destroy it too."
Sha Ye glanced at it and frowned, "This thing was made by Yao Yu, I can’t destroy it. But the energy on the stone slab on top is completely different."
"I’ll take it then, and later I’ll ask who left it here."
Rin thought for a moment. The object indeed seemed strange, but it didn’t appear to be related to the demon race.
There were quite a few mysterious crafts, such as the poor ghost Sword Saint that he kept.
"Alright, it’s good to find out who it belongs to. I can ask where they bought it from and get a set to give as a gift."
After speaking, Rin threw the statue to Connor.
Connor found the statue, took a deep breath, and his expression returned to normal.
"Everything I did today is top secret. If a word leaks out, you will all be locked up with the first mate. I don’t know how long you will survive."
Startled by Rin’s words, Connor and two sailors, Rin felt he acted well, nodded to himself.
"Now, we need to find the captain and inform him of some matters, then act quickly."
"Okay, I’ll go now."
Connor was about to leave to find Philip when he heard a serious and deep voice coming from the door before leaving the control room.
"Why are you all standing outside instead of watching the ship sail?"
Several sailors whom Rin had kicked out stood sparsely at the door. Apart from Connor, his companion sailor, and a helmsman, the room was almost empty. The helmsman tried to make himself less noticeable by lowering his neck.
Philip then walked in briskly, saluted Rin upon seeing him, and asked Connor, "The Annabel puppet that was in the display case is missing. Do you know anything about it?"
