Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#309 - Chapter 308 Weird Pirates

Boom!!!

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted.

Whish, whish, whish—

The small objects in the cabin tilted to the left, and the glass on the table rolled off and shattered with a "smash."

"Ouch, damn!"

Xiang Nanzhi lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, along with his meal.

Ye Yu leaned against the wall, swaying as he stood up, his face filled with horror as he looked at Li Chenqiu: "Brother Li, what... what's going on?"

Li Chenqiu was also dumbfounded: "Don't panic, I'm here..."

Bang!

Bang!!

Bang!!!

A series of explosions rang out, and the ship shook even more violently. Cracks like spiderwebs appeared on the ceiling of the cabin.

In addition to that, there were screams rising and falling.

"Ahhh!"

"What's happening?!"

"Help! Someone, help me!"

...

Li Chenqiu stood up steadily, his body not swaying at all despite the ship's shaking. Even the Force Ring couldn't make him fall, let alone this small tremor.

"Damn it, couldn't they wait until I finished eating before blowing us up?!"

Xiang Nanzhi pinched his sleeve and wiped the rice soup splattered on his face, standing up steadily.

Li Chenqiu looked at the cracks above his head and said, "Sure enough, something's going to happen."

Buzz—

The sound of electricity rang out, and a deep male voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the loudspeakers throughout the cruise ship.

"Everyone, don't panic, don't leave your rooms, take cover nearby..."

Pfft!

The sound of a sharp object piercing flesh rang out.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled thud, the deep male voice stopped abruptly.

A stern shout filled with murderous intent rang out: "Everyone, gather in the third-floor plaza! If you want to die, stay in your rooms!"

Li Chenqiu frowned.

Why does all the bad luck have to find me?

Bang!

Suddenly, the tightly closed door was violently kicked open.

A young man with a headband appeared outside the door, nostrils flared, pointing at the three of them and shouting arrogantly: "Third-floor plaza, are you deaf?!"

Li Chenqiu was the first to react, pretending to be very scared: "Okay... we'll go right away."

"Hmph!"

The young man snorted coldly and turned to walk towards other rooms.

After the young man left, the fear on Li Chenqiu's face disappeared instantly. He said in a deep voice, "Looks like they're not after us."

Xiang Nanzhi bent down, picked up a red bean bun from the ground, and took a big bite: "I've never seen anyone dare to look down on me like that. Are you going to do something about it?"

Li Chenqiu shook his head: "The academy doesn't publicize the news of me becoming the Disciplinary Chief, nor does it reveal my strength, because they don't want me to be too noticeable. That's not conducive to this mission."

As he spoke, Li Chenqiu took out a mask from his pocket and put it on his face, turning to look at Ye Yu, who was in a daze: "Let's go!"

"Uh..." Ye Yu came back to his senses: "Go... go where?"

"The third-floor plaza."

...

The previous explosion seemed terrifying, but it didn't cause any substantial damage to the "Sailing Afar" cruise ship. The cruise ship could still travel normally.

Li Chenqiu and his party of three left the cabin and, along with the crowd, walked along the wall towards the third-floor plaza.

"Hurry up, damn it! Are you taking a stroll?!"

"Mommy, I'm scared~"

"Don't be afraid, Mommy's here, Mommy..."

"What are you muttering about? Are you looking for death?!"

A strong man standing by the stairs shouted angrily, scaring everyone into silence, except for Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi.

Li Chenqiu looked at the grid-like blue barrier covering the cruise ship and muttered, "What is this?"

Xiang Nanzhi explained: "Something similar to a 'Sealing Body,' protecting the cruise ship. It's not very strong; an Eighth Forbidden could break it in a little time."

"You truly are a master of knowledge." Li Chenqiu continued to ask, "What do you think these guys are?"

"Hmm..." Xiang Nanzhi pondered for a moment: "Most likely, they're sea pirates."

"Pirates?" Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "There are still pirates like in the movies these days?"

Xiang Nanzhi glanced at Li Chenqiu with disdain: "Classic case of 'if you don't know it, it doesn't exist.' Many Destiny Holders who commit crimes in the Federation will become pirates when they have nowhere else to go, but..."

Li Chenqiu asked, "But what?"

"But these pirates are a bit strange. This cruise ship belongs to the Ying Consortium. Do they have the guts to attack Ying's cruise ship? Aren't they afraid of Ying's revenge?

Also, the captain of this ship is an Eighth Forbidden Destiny Holder. As far as I know, there don't seem to be any pirates with the strength of the Eighth Forbidden in this sea area.

How did they control or kill this Eighth Forbidden captain? That's a little weird!"

Li Chenqiu nodded in agreement: "You..."

"What are you two muttering about over there? Are you looking to lose your heads?!" A skinny young man pointed at Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi and cursed.

Seeing this, Li Chenqiu lowered his head and stopped talking.

...

The plaza on the third floor of the cruise ship was very large. If packed tightly, it could easily accommodate several thousand people.

In less than ten minutes, more than four thousand passengers, plus several hundred crew members, had gathered in the plaza.

Ta-ta-ta—

Continuous gunfire rang out in the square.

"Ahhh!"

The people standing in the plaza hugged their heads, and with a "whoosh," they squatted on the ground in large numbers.

Li Chenqiu looked up and saw a bearded man standing quietly on the high platform at the front.

"It's him?"

Li Chenqiu raised a single eyebrow.

This person was none other than the Seventh Forbidden he had seen in the restaurant earlier.

"Everyone, be honest!"

"The kid in the white clothes, can't you understand human language?"

"Be good, be good and everything will be fine!"

The pirates standing around the plaza shouted loudly.

In the far right corner of the crowd, against the wall, were three familiar faces: the people from the Southern Alliance who lived in the top-level sea view suite.

The middle-aged man at the head, "Iwata Ken," frowned, his face terribly gloomy.

Matsumoto Jun, squatting beside him, said in a low voice, "Iwata-san, they should be after us."

Iwata Ken nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, someone has already started searching our rooms."

Takagi Aya, the only woman among the three, said in a low voice, "The thing isn't in the room; they won't find it."

"No." Iwata Ken's brow flashed with a trace of worry: "They're not looking for that thing; they're looking for us."

Just as Iwata Ken said, someone was indeed searching each room.

Bang!

The door of a room on the sixth floor was kicked open directly, and a man wearing a ghost mask and tight black clothes walked into the room, coming to the still-warm bedding.

The ghost-masked man bent down and placed his hand on the bedding. The next second, a small black spider crawled out of his sleeve and onto the bedding.

Then, the ghost-masked man picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the room number of his location in fluent Southern Alliance language: "6012."

A voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Two No-Forbidden."

The ghost-masked man put down the walkie-talkie, took the little spider back into his sleeve, and turned to leave the room.

At the same time, this scene was happening on every floor, including the fifth floor where Xiang Nanzhi and Li Chenqiu lived.

Little Black doesn't want to write it either, but it really can't be avoided. I hope everyone can understand, thank you!
