Chapter 1153 Magical Cruise Ship
Morning.
The faint sunlight filtered through the narrow porthole, falling on Lin Qiye’s cheek. His eyelids trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.
After talking with Gilgamesh last night and leaving the Gods Mental Hospital, he quickly fell into a deep sleep, unknowingly dozing off against the wall until daybreak.
Lin Qiye checked the time, quickly freshened up, and opened the door to walk straight toward the bow of the ship.
Although the sun had just risen, there were already many Upper Demon Society members busy on the deck. Lin Qiye’s gaze swept around, and as expected, he didn’t see Ji Nian’s figure.
Yesterday she said she had important things to do for three days and wouldn’t appear… who knows what exactly?
“Qiye.”
A voice came from behind. An Qingyu, accompanied by Jiang Er floating in the air, walked across the deck to his side.
“Why are you up so early too?” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow.
“He didn’t sleep at all last night,” Jiang Er couldn’t help but complain. “He spent the entire night studying this cruise ship, along with some speedboats, lifeboats, the control room, and all the supporting facilities on this ship.”
Lin Qiye suddenly understood, “You were playing thief in the middle of the night?”
“I was just looking around, not being a thief,” An Qingyu said righteously. “And while analyzing, I found several system flaws and fixed them for them.”
“Did you discover anything?”
“…It’s amazing,” An Qingyu couldn’t help but say.
“This ship, and 98% of everything on it, is made up of pixel blocks of various sizes. I can’t figure out the principle behind these pixel blocks, but they seem to have a magical power that allows them to perfectly construct anything while ignoring macroscopic physics…”
“So, her ability is just building with pixel blocks?”
“…”
An Qingyu gave Lin Qiye a complicated look, “If you want to understand it that way, that’s fine… but it’s definitely not as simple as you think. Anyway, this is the most amazing ability I’ve seen so far!”
Lin Qiye’s eyebrows slightly raised.
He had personally witnessed Ji Nian’s ability to assemble McLarens and cannons with her bare hands, but from a visual perspective, this ability didn’t seem particularly powerful, at least not reaching the level of Divine Void.
However, since An Qingyu could give such high praise, it meant this ability truly had some extraordinary aspects.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something, his gaze suddenly focused as he turned to look in the direction the ship was heading, narrowing his eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Lin Qiye’s changing expression, An Qingyu asked in confusion.
“Twenty kilometers away, two marine ‘Mysteries’ have targeted this ship and are heading this way,” Lin Qiye calmly said. “Judging by their levels, one is a ‘Klein’ and the other is a ‘Boundless’.”
“‘Mysteries’ attacking?” An Qingyu nodded. “That’s normal. Such a large cruise ship sailing at sea would definitely attract the attention of other ‘Mysteries’…”
Lin Qiye looked around and stopped an Upper Demon Society member who was about to leave the deck.
“Hello, is there something you need?” She was a tall black woman with an athletic build. Now stopped by Lin Qiye, she asked politely.
“You’re being targeted by ‘Mysteries’,” Lin Qiye warned.
“‘Mysteries’?”
“Currently eighteen kilometers away, at this speed, they’ll soon hit your ship.”
The black woman looked at Lin Qiye in surprise, “Eighteen kilometers?”
She hesitated for a moment, instinctively looking up toward the top of the cruise ship. Within five seconds after she spoke, a dazzling red light shone from the warning lights on top of the ship, while a deep humming sound began to echo throughout every corner of the vessel.
“There really is something coming,” the black woman was initially shocked, but quickly regained her composure. She turned and said,
“Thank you for your warning. Please return to your cabins, as the deck might become unsafe.”
Lin Qiye and An Qingyu exchanged glances and nodded.
“Alright.”
As the deep humming grew clearer, the black woman quickened her pace toward the cabin, while the other Upper Demon Society members who had been busy on the deck calmly walked back to the cabins, seemingly accustomed to such situations.
“This ship also has special equipment for large-scale detection,” An Qingyu explained as they walked toward the cabin.
“Since it’s built with pixels, its detection range differs from conventional radar, probably only sixteen kilometers, but the fact that such electronic equipment can work in the mist is already quite impressive.
Moreover, the humming sound used for alerts is at a special frequency that human ears can clearly hear, but 85% of ‘Mysteries’ cannot. Otherwise, releasing too loud or sharp noises in the mist would quickly attract more ‘Mysteries’.”
The two stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the cabin, looking at the hazy mist in the direction of the bow. Lin Qiye asked in surprise:
“Is this ship that powerful?”
“It’s not the ship that’s impressive, but the engineers who designed it and President Ji Nian who built it,” An Qingyu pointed at the floor. “Not just anyone can design such a massive and complex vessel capable of navigating through the mist. Behind the Upper Demon Society must be an extremely top-tier research team covering all fields.”
As they were talking, the ship shook slightly, and the surface of the spacious deck began to sink. Soon, three thick gray pixel cannon barrels were raised high.
The caliber of these pixel cannons was monstrous, with muzzles the size of two-story houses. Two of the cannon barrels began to automatically turn toward the hazy mist, seemingly locking onto something.
BOOM BOOM–!!
Three seconds later, two thick crimson light beams instantly flashed into the mist and disappeared.
Lin Qiye seemed to sense something, his eyebrows slightly raising.
The cruise ship continued to advance slowly on the sea. After a while, the corpses of two huge “Mysteries” floated in the bloody waters on both sides of the ship – one “Klein” and one “Boundless” – both killed with a single shot from the pixel cannons.
After confirming their deaths, the Upper Demon Society members unhurriedly walked onto the deck and began maintaining the three pixel cannons. Lin Qiye and An Qingyu also walked out of the cabin.
“Hello,” An Qingyu stopped an Upper Demon Society member, smiling shyly.
He pointed to the two “Mystery” corpses floating by the ship,
“Excuse me… can I take these two ‘Mystery’ corpses to go?”
