Chapter 287 The Shadow Emerges

Various conjectures swirled in Xia En's mind, giving him a sense of urgency.

Obviously, although this space will be constantly reset, the number of resets is definitely limited.

In other words, there is a limit to the number of resets Shane and Joey can endure.

In fact, after going back in time this time, Xia En was keenly aware that something seemed to be missing from his body.

Maybe it's part of the soul, or maybe it's part of the memory.

If this process is repeated, the two of them will undoubtedly become completely lost on this ghost ship like those unlucky pirates!

While Joey was getting dressed, Shane seriously thought about how to break the current situation.

Judging from everything I've experienced before.

The main cause of the sinking of the Diamond Star was the huge iceberg that seemed to appear out of thin air.

As for the fog and the monsters in the fog, they are just incidental crises.

If there was no fog, people might have been able to see the iceberg and avoid the impact that destroyed the ship and killed people.

in other words.

As long as the [Diamond Star] changes course in time and leaves the sea where the fog and icebergs are, maybe it can avoid this disaster?

Xia En instinctively felt that things were definitely not that simple.

But it is indeed a method worth trying.

Thinking of this, Shane no longer hesitated, took the dressed Joey out of the room, and hurried towards the restaurant.

At this time, Captain Luther should still be dining in the restaurant.

On the way, Xia En met the young man wearing a top hat again.

"Mr. Shane..."

However, this time Xia En didn't have time to say hello to him. The man had just taken off his hat and before he even finished speaking, the two of them had already walked away.

Entering the restaurant, Xia En and the two once again received many curious eyes.

There were also many nobles who wanted to come forward and chat with him.

But Xia En ignored it and searched for Captain Luther in the crowd.

But what surprised him was that when he looked around, he didn't see the fat middle-aged captain.

"Um?"

Shane frowned.

At this time, Joey beside him whispered: "Could it be that Captain Luther hasn't arrived at the restaurant yet?"

Only then did Xia En realize that in the last "cycle", he went to the waiter to collect information, but this time he came directly to the restaurant.

There is naturally a time difference between the two.

So, Xia En stood guard at the door of the restaurant, quietly waiting for Luther's arrival.

The other passengers couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene, but due to Xia En's identity, no one dared to say anything to his face.

It didn't take long.

Luther led several crew members towards the restaurant.

Xia En walked up directly and said straight to the point: "Captain Luther, I have something important to ask you."

Luther was very surprised: "Your Highness Xia En, what are you so anxious about?"

Shane patted Luther on the shoulder: "It's too late to explain. Please take me to the cab first, and we'll talk slowly on the way."

However, the fat captain, who had previously been smiling and easy to talk to, now looked troubled.

"Your Highness Xia En, it's not that I don't want to take you there."

"But the [Diamond Star] set the rules at the beginning of the ship's construction. No passengers can enter the cab without the order of the salary king."

"If I do this, I'm afraid my position as captain will not be guaranteed..."

Xia En frowned: "King Xin's order?"

Only then did he suddenly remember that according to legend, the person who ordered the construction of the [Diamond Star] was none other than his former crew member and the Salary King of the Great Yan Kingdom!

Looking at Luther with a troubled face, Xia En wanted to say, let alone King Xin’s order, even King Xin had given him an order!

But come to think of it, even if he said it, no one would believe it.

Xia En could only sigh softly, took Luther to the side, and said seriously.

"Let me tell you bluntly, this matter is really important, and may even be related to the survival of the [Diamond Star] and the entire crew."

After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.

Although this is a bit reckless, it is also the only possible way to convince Luther.

Luther was startled, and the fat on his face trembled, but he still managed to smile.

"Your Highness Xia En, please don't scare me."

"The [Diamond Star] is the best ship in the world today. How can anything endanger its safety?"

Xia En had already expected that Luther would not believe it, so he said with emphasis.

"Don't believe it, this is the result of my divination using special secret techniques."

"Next, thick fog will appear around the [Diamond Star], and it will hit an iceberg and sink completely!"

"If we don't act quickly, everything will be over!"

After hearing this, Luther finally became a little doubtful.

If an ordinary passenger told him such appalling "divination results", he would definitely punch him out before he even finished hearing.

But it happened that the person who said this was the distinguished "His Royal Highness Xia En."

This made Luther quite confused.

If what Xia En said was true, then it would definitely be okay to hide for the time being.

But what if it’s fake?

Afterwards, if King Xin punishes him...

Then wouldn’t all his efforts over the years be in vain?

For a moment, Luther was hesitant, which made Xia En feel anxious.

For such a big ship, it takes a lot of time to turn or turn around.

If Luther continues to hesitate like this, he is afraid that the fog will come!

Just then, a gentle voice sounded next to him.

"Captain Luther, His Highness Shane, what's going on?"

Shayne turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Edward, who had a gentle temperament.

Obviously, he noticed the unusual behavior of Shane and the others, so he came forward to talk.

Captain Luther hesitated for a moment, but still told Edward about the "crisis" that Shane had "divinated".

After listening, Edward was also quite surprised and shocked: "Is there such a thing?"

But after thinking for a moment, Edward still said: "I believe His Highness Shane will not lie about such a thing."

"Moreover, for such a big thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it."

"How about this, Captain Luther, His Highness Shane and I will guarantee you together. If the King of Salary investigates it later, you will report our names."

Hearing this, Luther's eyes lit up.

"This method is okay."

The name of Shane alone is not enough for Luther to make such a disobedient act.

But with Edward's reputation, he immediately made up his mind.

Shane glanced at Edward beside him unexpectedly. He didn't expect him to make such a decision.

For the nobles of the old times, reputation is a very important asset.

Just listening to his one-sided words, he was willing to bet on his own reputation. Such trust made Shane very fond of him.

But at this time.

Edward's eyes fell on Joey beside him again, staring at him absentmindedly for a moment.

Shane raised his eyebrows: "...Huh?"

Edward quickly came back to his senses.

He scratched the back of his head and said a little confusedly.

"Sorry, I just think this little girl is so familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere."

Shane was in a strange mood.

Could it be that Joey really has some special attraction to Edward, which makes him behave abnormally?

But now, it is obviously not the time to entangle such problems.

After making up his mind, Captain Luther's actions were also vigorous and resolute.

He immediately took out a mechanical device with strange magic patterns from his arms and said, "First Mate Femia! First Mate Femia!"

"Please reply if you hear me!"

After that, Luther still had time to explain to Shane and the other two, "This is our latest communication device, which can be used for communication in emergency situations."

"Beep... Beep..."

However, what surprised Luther was that.

For a long time, no human voice came out of the communication device, only blind sounds one after another.

It made people feel panic for no reason.

At this time, even if Luther was stupid, he knew that something was wrong.

The fat face suddenly became serious: "Something happened!"

He immediately said to the three people, "Please follow me, I will take you to the cockpit."

Not long after, under Luther's guidance, the group moved towards the depths of the cabin.

However, the Diamond Star was unusually large, and the space inside was complicated.

It took a long time just to get there.

Even when the four of them were halfway there...

Boom!

Deep in the cabin, there was a faint explosion-like muffled sound.

Shane was not surprised by the muffled sound, knowing that there was a commotion somewhere in the cabin.

But compared to the crisis that could destroy the entire [Diamond Star], this little thing could undoubtedly be put aside for now.

And Luther's face changed slightly after hearing the muffled sound.

These abnormal situations that occurred one after another were enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

He didn't say anything, but his pace was a little faster.

Passing through a long passage.

The group finally arrived at the door of the cabin.

"Captain Luther?"

Beside the cabin, the nearby sailors poked their heads out of the cabin and looked at Luther in confusion.

They didn't understand why Luther's face was so ugly, and he also brought two noble young masters to rush here?

To be honest, the experience on the [Diamond Star] was the most peaceful day for these sailors.

Ordinary ships, facing wind and waves, have to worry about whether they will sink or be attacked by some monsters in the sea.

But on the Diamond Star, there is no such worry at all. You only need to clean up every day and maintain the equipment.

Even these chores can be handed over to those easy-to-bully little bastards.

Over time, the attitude of the sailors began to relax.

So, even though Luther's attitude was very serious, they still didn't take it too seriously.

Luther roared at the sailors, like an angry, fat lion: "Where is Femya?"

The sailors rarely saw Captain Luther show this attitude, and they couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Finally, a brave sailor said: "The first mate should be in the cabin?"

"It seems that they haven't come out."

Luther immediately walked to the door of the cabin and knocked on the door "bang bang bang".

"Femya, open the door for me! Open the door quickly!"

However, there was no movement in the cabin.

The door of this room was also closed in silence, revealing a strong ominous meaning.

Shane smelled the air and his pupils shrank.

"It smells bloody!"

Hearing his reminder, Luther no longer hesitated, and his fat body hit the door directly like a cannonball.

No matter how unreliable Luther looked, his strength was always solid.

With just one collision, the steel door was directly knocked open.

In the spacious cabin, there were many bodies of sailors lying in all directions.

Judging from their uniforms, among them, there seemed to be the second and third mates of the Diamond Star.

These crew members stared with their eyes wide open, as if they were dying with their eyes open.

In the center of the cabin, a man was leaning against the huge steering wheel.

He also had a lot of injuries on his body, and the blood flowing from his body gathered into a pool of blood, but the expression on his face was unexpectedly calm.

"Femia, what's going on!"

Luther stared at the man and asked, "Did you do these...?"

Femia, the first mate of the Diamond Star, just looked at Luther coldly and laughed a little crazy.

"Hehehe..."

"I will die, you will die, we... will all die!"

"Captain Luther, let's go together!"

Seeing this scene, Shane's heart also set off a huge wave.

He originally thought that the collision between the Diamond Star and the iceberg was just an accident.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

It seems that there is a certain force or organization that wants to destroy the Diamond Star and everyone on board, and drag them all into the deep sea of ​​despair.

And this first mate named "Femia" is a member of this force.

It was not until this "cycle" that their whereabouts gradually emerged, like a shadow emerging from the water.

"Fog, fog!"

Hearing the exclamations of the sailors outside the wheelhouse, Shane's heart sank to the bottom, knowing that everything was too late.

Now, even if he gained control of the Diamond Star, he would lose his way because of the endless fog around him.

It was probably a matter of time before he hit the iceberg.

Sure enough.

What happened next was just as Shane expected.

The fog monster appeared, and everyone resisted.

A huge crash sounded, and seawater poured back into the hull.

Then, endless white light engulfed Shane and Joey...

...

...

After a trance.

Shane opened his eyes again, and the familiar room was still in front of him.

His thoughts were a little chaotic, and he came back to his senses after a while, sighing.

"Failed..."

Shane analyzed the reasons for his failure this time.

"However, the reason for the failure this time is that it took too much time to persuade Luther to make up his mind."

"If the process is compressed and the speed is accelerated, it may succeed."

With this idea, Shane started to try again.

This time, he did not wait foolishly for Luther to come.

He found Edward first, and then found Captain Luther with Edward, thus saving a lot of time.

When he rushed to the cabin, the first mate Femia had just killed all the sailors here.

Shane and others easily subdued him.

But just when Luther was about to turn the [Diamond Star], he encountered a fatal problem...
