Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm.

"——Rin, where are you going?" The blond girl looked at him.

"Saya?" Su Mingan looked at the girl crowded in the crowd: "What about you? Where are you going?"

"I...I heard that a lifeboat has been lowered, and I will go take a look with everyone." Saya said, pulling him away from the crowd.

Next to it is the rooftop on the second floor. It is still raining heavily at this time. On the deck, people are carrying small lifeboats.

"Don't worry, it's probably not the time for everyone to abandon the ship and take refuge. The soul hunters on the ship should also take measures..." Before Su Ming'an finished speaking, he heard an amplified voice coming from the top.

.

The sound was like coming from a loudspeaker, and it was extremely loud, enough for everyone on the ship to hear it.

"——Please don't panic." A rich male voice came from above the people: "I am the S-class soul hunter of this ship, Warren."

"...Waren, it's Master Waren!" Someone exclaimed, seeming to be very familiar with this name.

"Listen to Lord Valen's command. He is a top-notch S-class soul hunter. He will definitely be able to protect the Ater..."

People who were originally in chaos seemed to have found their backbone in an instant.

"It's Grandpa Valen..." Saya laughed and immediately grabbed Su Mingan beside her: "Rin, Grandpa Valen said not to panic, then it must be fine. Don't be afraid..."

She smiled and looked at Su Ming'an, and her words suddenly slowed down.

"Rin." She blinked, a little confused: "Your expression..."

Su Mingan immediately stopped smiling.

"Nothing." He shook his head: "I just heard the S-class hunter speak and was a little excited."

"Yes!" Saya nodded: "I know that Grandpa Valen was targeting you previously. Don't blame him. In fact, he is just too sensitive and is always wary of everyone around me..."

Before she could finish her words, she was drowned out by a voice coming from above.

"——Gentlemen and ladies, the current situation is not critical, please don't worry. The soul hunter who died last night was an A-level soul hunter Puller. I have carefully inspected the scene, and the soul clan that attacked him should be the same as his.

The strength is equal." Valen stood on the highest rooftop and said: "So, with the strength of two S-level soul hunters, Lalya and I, we are completely confident in hunting this hidden soul clan. In terms of strength, we and each other are even better.

There will be no gap, so now we mainly need everyone’s cooperation.”

His voice spread to every corner of the giant ship, and the panicked people stopped to listen, and their anxious mood was suddenly soothed.

"——Please don't panic, maintain order, and return to your respective rooms. Next, Lalya and I will inspect your rooms one by one and use the Art Stone on some suspicious persons." Varun said: "After that,

After a night of searching, we have initially identified a group of suspects with the highest suspicions. After the subsequent investigation, we believe that it will not be difficult to catch this hateful Soul Clan - so please go back to your respective rooms first.

, it has not yet reached the stage where everyone needs to use the lifeboat to escape. Please believe in the strength of the Soul Hunter and the magical power of the Art Stone, we will definitely be able to find out that abominable murderer in the daytime..."

After listening to his words, people began to feel relieved, and many people even started to turn around and go upstairs.

"Let's go back, Rin." Saya immediately held Su Mingan's hand: "No need to worry anymore, and no need to be afraid of chaos. The soul hunters have officially taken action, and we can trust them."

"Okay." Su Mingan still smiled without any objection.

He followed Saya, followed the flow of people all the way to the fourth floor, and returned to his room.

The moment he closed the door, he waited at the door and listened to what was going on outside.

Soon, he heard the conversation between Mr. Warren and another soul hunter.

These two soul hunters started their search from the fourth floor - it seemed that the biggest suspect in their eyes was on the fourth floor.

The sound of the door opening first sounded from the left area of ​​the door, and as time passed, their footsteps continued to get closer.

They seemed to have only searched the passenger rooms on the left, and then moved to the next room after searching, without using the Art Stone from beginning to end.

After all, the Art Stone is precious, and the number of times it can be used is extremely limited. It is not enough for them to check all the passengers on the sixth floor. It can only be used to check those who are particularly suspicious of the soul hunter.

Finally, a knock came at Su Ming'an's door.

"Viscount Su Lin." Larya's gentle voice sounded outside the door: "Please open the door for a routine inspection."

Unlike the serious old man Valen, this S-class soul hunter is a gentleman-like middle-aged man who speaks softly and politely and will not cause too much resentment among the passengers being searched.

Su Mingan opened the door and saw the smiling Larya and the serious-faced old man Varun. They were all wearing black uniforms belonging to soul hunters, and the transparent stars on their chests shone brightly under the light.

Behind them were several special crew members, like followers. After Su Mingan opened the door, these followers quickly poured into his room and began to rummage through the boxes.

Ordinary nobles would definitely not be able to bear being treated like this, but this was a special period, and those great nobles who were afraid of death did not dare to say anything.

He watched this scene silently, feeling no tension in his heart. He had already put the two giant Art Stones into his backpack, and it was impossible for these people to open his system backpack compartment to look at his things.

After a while, the crew members with quick hands and feet returned the unearthed things to their respective places, packed them neatly, and prepared to exit quickly.

"Well... it seems that the Viscount is not a suspicious candidate..." Larya said softly: "Excuse me, let's leave first..."

"etc."

A deep male voice interrupted him.

Warren took a step forward with a serious look on his face.

His knife-like gaze glanced at Su Ming'an, and the dissatisfaction that had always existed in his old eyes was very obvious.

"Lalya, this person is one of my suspects. I apply to use the Stone of Art." Valen said.

After listening to his words, Su Mingan's expression did not change.

"Really?" Larya touched her chin: "But in my opinion, the Viscount really doesn't look like a soul tribe that can kill an A-level soul hunter... Warren, I remember that the Viscount and Miss Saya once

Make good friends. If he was a soul clan, he wouldn’t have been living under your nose until now, right?"

Warren's tone became more serious: "That's right. I have always suspected that this boy has evil intentions towards Miss Saya. I have warned him several times, but he still refuses to change his ways and keeps trying to hold Miss Saya. I suspect,

What does this man have against the young lady?"

Larya listened and smiled, as if she had seen through him: "Valen, you are still as wary of all male creatures approaching your young lady as before."

The barrage exploded instantly after listening to Warren's comments:

【Holy crap, who is this person!】

[The first person to beat a mandarin duck with a stick, I have now seen the legendary feudal patriarch. Not only did he stop them from being together, but he also forcibly labeled him as a soul clan.]

[The first person to hit the iron plate, I have already seen the ending... The operation Brother Ming An did last night was so bad, this old man must have never imagined it.]

[But in a sense, Warren’s vigilance is also right...]

[Well, in a "some sense"...]

"——In short, I request the use of the Stone of Art." Valen ignored Larya's innuendo and directly used his authority to forcefully issue the order.

If the Stone of Ater needs to be used, the group of people will need to leave this room and go to the storage room of the Stone of Ater. After all, the boulder tray is too bulky for the crew to carry.

With Warren's order, these special crew members were about to go to Rasumingan.

...Su Lin is really a down-and-out nobleman with no status, and has no right to speak in front of the soul hunter.

Su Mingan raised his hand to stop their movements.

"Don't hold me back, let's go." He said, going out directly and heading towards the storage room below.

Next to them, there were some nobles with their doors open, looking around, as if they were curious about the first person who had used the Art Stone.

Su Ming'an also noticed at this time that a series of conversations popped up in the channel chat that originally seemed a little quiet.

[Karen (Santa Cassia Group): The coordinates of the Yate, who is the soul on this ship? It should be a player, right? It makes people panic. 】

[Kent (Easter Party): It must be Yamada Machichi, the top player on the list... This boss has shown up in the chat before, I bet it's him.]

[Liu Ping (Fighting Organizer Guild): I haven’t seen the Art Stone until now. Do players with noble status hold it? 】

[Katrina (Nightingale): Mr. Yamada, tell me something. Didn’t you say before that you were also on board the Art? Are you the Soul player? 】

[Joanne (World Tree Guild): On the fourth floor of the Yate, I seem to have seen someone being pulled for testing. Should we try to follow them... I heard from players in Sea City that the soul hunters don't seem to be very strong.

Looks like...]

…

At the same time, Su Mingan also noticed that some players who were not afraid of death began to quietly follow behind.

However, a special crew member soon stopped them and did not let them leave their respective rooms.

There were some people with stealth skills who turned on the skills to hide behind them, as if they wanted to observe what was going on here. Since Su Mingan's mental level was much higher than these people, these sneaky people were looked at by him like clowns.

A complete one.

"Don't look around." Warren approached him, blocking his view of looking back. The pair of eagle-like gazes were firmly fixed on him, as if it was confirmed that he must be the soul clan.

Su Mingan was a little helpless.

"There is no need for you to target me like this..." he said.

He simply couldn't figure out why Valen was targeting him like this. If it was because Saya liked Su Lin, there would be no need to go to such trouble...

"You smell like a soul clan." Valen said.

Su Mingan's eyes changed slightly.

"Don't worry too much, Viscount." Larya's smiling voice came from behind: "Valen's talent is related to his sense of smell. He is good at tracking the traces of the soul clan, and he can also smell some residual soul clan after the battle.
To be continued...
