Chapter 187: The Forbidden Alchemy of the Human Body (I)
When the ship's guards arrived, they saw only a torn corpse on the ground, and the captain of the guard, Jessie, cried out, "Transhuman 45? How was it killed? ”
Realizing that something was wrong, Jessette immediately ordered martial law for the entire ship, and informed the head of the port office, Lord Elavia.
On the other hand, Ruan Chi, who had killed Alibu, disguised himself as a crew member and hid back on the deck of the Hope, as the ship had confirmed that it was not holding any elven slaves, and he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to look elsewhere.
There are about twenty of the Platinum Consortium cargo ships parked in the harbor now, and if you have to go up to them and turn them over one by one, you should be able to sort them out before the sun goes down.
Ruan Chi was thinking like this, but when he was about to leave the "Hope", he was prevented, it turned out that the fight just now attracted everyone's attention, and the port office issued an order that all crew members should not leave their posts.
"Oh no, it must be someone from the Platinum Consortium who wants to get me out." Ruan Chi secretly said that it was not good, but now there were patrolling guards all around, and if he wanted to get off the ship now, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.
In desperation, Ruan Chi had no choice but to continue to play the role of a crew member, staying on deck with other crew members.
"You know what? The slaves' cabin has been invaded, the guards in charge of guarding the place have been killed, and Captain Jessie thinks that someone has invaded the harbor and wants to let all the slaves go. ”
"Did those people eat the gall of the ambitious leopard? Don't know if this is a port under the jurisdiction of the Platinum Consortium? How dare you make trouble here? ”
"Who will save these slaves, isn't it just a bunch of worthless animals?"
……
From time to time, I heard the voices of those crew members talking. Ruan Chi was a little curious, pricked up his ears to listen, but soon frowned.
It's strange that those people didn't discuss the identity of that Alibu, didn't the Platinum Foundation announce that the guard I killed was not a person?
Thinking of Alibu's bloodthirsty eyes, Ruan Chi was suspicious, this transformed person Alibu didn't look like a human at all, and he didn't even belong to any race on the Miracle Continent. Judging from the footage of the battle just now, he has no autonomous consciousness, and will only instinctively attack the people who are close to the slave room.
Ruan Chi immediately remembered the information obtained by the reconnaissance technique to reconnoiter Alibu. It is noted above. Alibu is a transformer who joined the Dwarven Alchemy Technology, and is also one of the research projects of the Platinum Foundation.
"Could it be that the so-called disgraceful things of the Platinum Consortium refer to this?" Ruan Chi muttered to himself.
Something so big happened, the head of the port office over there. A glamorous Terran woman in her thirties, accompanied by the captain of the guard, Jessett, boarded the "Hope".
Ruan Chi looked up and saw a scene. Immediately and cautiously hide in the middle of the crowd.
"Mistress Eluvia. This is the crew responsible for the handling of the Hope today, a total of 64 people. Jesitt said, pointing to everyone on the board.
Elavia was the name of the beautiful Terran woman, and she wore a close-fitting leather coat. Outlining the figure of the devil, a large white sweater is casually draped outside, a felt hat with feathers on his head, and a pair of foxy eyes look at the crew in front of him.
After observing for a while, she asked lightly, "Are the entrances and exits of the ship gated?" ”
"Someone has been sent to guard it." Jesitt said respectfully.
"Okay, first make sure no one can leave the Hope, and then give me a detailed examination of the crew one by one, the intruder may be inside." Eluvia sneered.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." Jessette answered, and immediately asked his subordinates to check the crew on the deck, in addition to checking the work card, but also to identify the appearance of the crew one by one.
Ruan Chi in the crowd couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, if they let them check themselves, they must no longer be able to hide their identity, after all, Ruan Chi is not the real Gandalf, and his appearance is far from good, if people find out that Gandalf is not here, he, the "impostor" with Gandalf's work card, will definitely be exposed.
Ruan Chi is naturally not afraid that he will be besieged, but if his identity is revealed now, it will be even more difficult to complete the task.
"We have to find a way to get out of here."
Ruan Chi's eyes rolled, and when he made sure that no one was looking at him, he slowly moved in other directions, where there were some goods ready to be transported, packed in wooden boxes, neatly stacked as high as a hill.
A smoke ran behind these wooden boxes, where Ruan Chi found a small door, pushed the door in, and went inside was a corridor leading to other places.
The inventory on the deck was in full swing, but Ruan Chi came to the end of this corridor alone, there was an iron door in front of him, and just when Ruan Chi hesitated to go in and hide, there was a sound of footsteps not far away.
There was no need to even hesitate at this time, Ruan Chi hurriedly pulled the handle of the iron door, hid inside with a "whoosh" and closed the door until the footsteps outside were far away.
"Fortunately, my brother is alert enough." After confirming that the people outside were gone, Ruan Chi stood up and looked at this room, there were many instruments that Ruan Chi couldn't understand, and there was a rudder, needless to say, this was the captain's room.
Worried that the guards outside were still not far away, Ruan Chi had to stay here temporarily, and this guy couldn't stay lonely, and began to tinker with the equipment in the captain's room.
Not to mention, Ruan Chi has only now discovered that although the world's technology is far from catching up with the earth, it is not as backward as imagined, at least from the perspective of these instruments, the world's shipbuilding level is at least equivalent to the earth's steam age around the 19th century. It's just that in terms of power, it seems that something else is being used here, not the oil of the earth.
"Click"
After fiddling for a while, he didn't know that he had touched the switch, and there was a sudden sound behind Ruan Chi, which startled him, in case it was an alarm or something, he would be discovered immediately.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no large group of guards rushing in from the outside as expected, on the contrary, when Ruan Chi turned around, there was an extra crack on the deck behind him.
Ruan Chi reached out and touched the crack a few times, then pushed the moving deck away, and a staircase that went down into the face appeared.
Unexpectedly, he found such a secret passage by mistake, Ruan Chi's heart jumped wildly, and he walked down this staircase carefully, in order not to be discovered, Ruan Chi pulled the deck back up after entering.
The stairs are not very long, Ruan Chi walked two steps, and soon came to a wide lying space, where there are also a lot of strange instruments, but obviously different from the instruments used for driving operations in the captain's room, the instruments here obviously have other purposes, Ruan Chi looked twice, and basically determined that this was a real room.
