Half an hour later.

The yacht is far from the bustling bay of Palermo.

This yacht is not very large, it is only about ten meters long before and after.

The captain of the ship obediently steered in the cockpit, while Li Qing was comfortably lying on the sun lounger on the small deck, drinking the "free" ice drinks stored on the yacht while enjoying the foreign sea scenery.

The waves on the sea surface under the sun are calm and unwavering, like an endless sapphire mirror, blue and brilliant.

The crisp, moist breeze of the Mediterranean Sea with a faint smell of sea came and made the air smell on the ship...

"It stinks to death."

Li Qing pinched his nose, his face full of disgust.

His sense of smell has increased a lot as he has risen in level, so he is very sensitive to those pungent smells.

In order to cover up this pungent smell, he couldn't help but pick up the lighter he had "borrowed" from the boat boss and light a cigarette that he had "borrowed" from the boat boss.

By the way, in the course of this friendly exchange, Li Qing also politely remembered the name of the fat captain:

"Andrew, what the hell does this smell like?"

"That..."

"You'd better stop smoking right now."

The unlucky captain named Andrew glanced at Li Qing resignedly, and muttered:

"If I'm not mistaken, this could be... There was an oil leak. ”

"Oil leak?"

"How could this ship be leaking?"

Li Qing's face changed slightly, and he immediately used his fingers to extinguish the cigarette butt he had just lit.

The tone of his question was not terrifying, but after a series of previous series of coercion, intimidation and kidnapping, poor Mr. Andrew had already treated Li Qing as a hungry wolf in human skin.

He tried his best to hide his displeasure, and replied cautiously:

"Bald... No... Mr. ”

"Didn't I tell you at the beginning - there seems to be something wrong with the ship's oil tanks, and it has to be sent back to the dock for repair."

"It's you... You have to ask me to write it. ”

Despite his best efforts to cover it up, the resentful smell of "forced to be a thief" could not be hidden.

"Oh... Ha ha. ”

Li Qing did not embarrass the hapless Mr. Andrew.

He touched his bare head and smiled indifferently:

"You seem to have told me about it."

"So, can this ship still drive?"

"If you can, drive farther away for me, the farther away from the place just now, the better."

Andrew's eyes rolled, and he replied with ulterior motives:

"Although there are some signs of oil leakage, it is still barely moving."

"But..."

"If it goes on like this, if it doesn't go ashore, it may stop at sea at any time."

"If it's more serious, it might spontaneously combust. In that case, we're all going to be finished. ”

"Oh..."

Li Qing replied casually:

It was clear that Andrew was encouraging himself to find a place to dock so that he could get out safely.

However, he didn't think the other party was lying.

Because Li Qing could smell that as the yacht continued to sail on the sea, the unpleasant smell of fuel oil was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

"Then find a small island in front of you to shore."

Li Qing said very reasonably:

"Don't worry, I'm just an ordinary citizen passing by."

"As long as you cooperate obediently, I will let you leave safely."

"Ordinary citizens..."

"Is there an ordinary citizen like you who robs at gunpoint and threatens to kidnap?"

The corners of Andrew's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to say the resentment in his heart after holding it for a long time.

Then he replied with a forced smile:

"Yes, sir."

"There's a nice island up ahead, and you can get a new boat there."

"Don't worry," Andrew added wittily, "there isn't even a police station on that island, and I'm sure I'm not going to call the police to trouble you." ”

"Yes."

Li Qing replied noncommittally, and then turned back to continue to enjoy the wonderful sunshine on the sea.

And at this moment...

With his remarkable sense of hearing, he heard the roar of an engine coming from the distant sea:

"There's a ship?"

"There's a boat coming after you!"

For security reasons, Li Qing instinctively entered the data mode.

The light in front of his eyes was instantly lost, but his already sharp sense of hearing was strengthened dozens of times more than at this moment.

In the state of the "Blind Monk", the voice became clearer:

"It was a speedboat that caught up, and it was fast."

"On board... There was only one person on board. ”

"200 meters, 180 meters, 140 meters... It's getting closer. ”

"That's right, it's coming for us!"

Li Qing's tone suddenly became serious:

"Captain!"

"Give me more horsepower, and the faster you drive, the better!"

"Huh?"

Andrew didn't react at all:

"Hurry up?"

"The oil leak hasn't been solved yet, and if it is overloaded, I think there may be a problem."

"I don't want you to think, I want me to feel!"

Li Qing urged very arrogantly: "Give me enough strength to get out of the way!" ”

"Otherwise, if the ship behind is the mafia who comes after me—do you think he'll kill you too?"

"This, this..."

"Hunt down... Mafia? ”

"God, what the hell am I getting involved in?"

Andrew's fat face suddenly oozed a layer of greasy cold sweat.

Then, he trembled and pushed the speed of the ship to the maximum according to Li Qing's instructions.

It's a pity that the speed of this yacht is limited, and no matter how much horsepower is increased, it can't get rid of the small speedboat that catches up behind.

In this way, the distance between the two ships became closer and closer.

120 meters, 100 meters, 70 meters, 50 meters...

When there was only a short fifty meters left between the two boats, the speedboat behind it, which had just been moving at full speed, suddenly slowed down and unhurriedly stuck behind the yacht.

"Huh?"

"Why didn't the ship chase it?"

Li Qing was a little puzzled, but Andrew breathed a sigh of relief:

"Perhaps, maybe it's not a killer, it's just a passing tourist."

"A lot of tourists like to rent speedboats here to cruise the Mediterranean, and it's normal to meet them at sea."

"Really?"

Li Qing still did not let down his vigilance.

But the truth is really like what Andrew said, the guy who drove the speedboat never showed any malice:

He did not increase his horsepower to catch up with the broadside battle, nor did he take out any weapons to snipe from a distance, but just drove the speedboat silently, and maintained a distance of about fifty meters from Li Qing with great restraint.

Several minutes passed in a row, and the other party never showed anything unusual.

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"

"No... There is no abnormality, it is the biggest abnormality! ”

"The sea is so vast, if the other party is really a passing tourist, why should he follow us so persistently?"

The other party didn't move, and Li Qing's expression became more serious.

He has been maintaining the data mode, and he has not slackened for half a minute.

And what Li Qing hasn't noticed at this time is...

On the deck at his feet, in the shallow water, a "shark" quietly emerged.

..........................................

At the same time, on the speedboat.

A young man with orange hair was staring intently at Li Qing on the deck of the yacht ahead.

The shipowner couldn't see it, but he could see it—

Above Li Qing's head, a strange red long frame was floating.

This is the red blood groove that can only be seen by the guy who is judged to be an "enemy" by the system, and it is an obvious feature of Li Qing's entry into the data mode.

This man's name is Shi Klo, and he is the boss's most trusted guard, and he is also a naval combat expert who has high hopes from the boss this time.

"Cut... It's really vigilant. ”

"After waiting so long, he still refuses to remove the 'stand-in ability'?"

"Trouble... What a hassle! ”

Skaro said to himself impatiently:

"According to the information provided by the boss, that bald head has a weird body like a 'video game character'."

"If you fight head-on, it will take a lot of strength."

He didn't do it directly just now, he just wanted Li Qing to relax his vigilance and remove the data, and then try to order a stand-in sneak attack to solve the battle with one blow.

It's a pity that Li Qing is not so sloppy.

"Forget it."

"Let's just do it!"

"Get his head off early, and I'll be back in time for the lunch I made with Dichano."

Di Chano was his partner, and the two had always been inseparable.

However, this time the mission was urgent, and Di Chano's stand-in ability was not suitable for frontal combat, so Shi Kjaro came to pursue Li Qing alone.

He muttered his partner's name in a relaxed tone.

The battle was about to begin, but the biggest question on Squearro's mind was whether to order margarita pizza or cuttlefish sauce pasta when he had lunch with Di Chano at noon.

It's not that he underestimates the enemy, but that he is confident.

As long as the battlefield is in this vast sea, Skeye has absolute confidence in his stand-in ability:

"Come on—"

"Clash!"
