Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fifteen Crossing the Titanic (5)

Now, when someone suddenly declares that the dream ship is a huge hoax, many skeptics and people who like to watch the excitement and don't like it big are shouting, "This masked gentleman, we need the truth!" ”

"This is the truth you want, this ship is not the Titanic at all, but the Olympic! The White Star Company is waiting to sink this ship and defraud a huge amount of insurance! ”

One reporter shouted: "I'm a reporter from the Times, may I ask this mysterious gentleman, how do you prove your claims?" ”

"I work for the White Star Company. Otherwise, do you think that such an advanced weapon could be stolen by me? This is the arms secretly researched by the Yankee of the Platinum Company. But they don't have any money now, so they have to find a way to cheat money. So they've set such a trap, and you idiots are cheering for this huge trap. ”

With a sudden sound, this murderer, who was covered and wearing a camouflage combat uniform, aimed at the sky like a shuttle. He roared, "Warn you! No one is allowed to approach now, and no one is allowed to set sail! There are serious problems with the quality of the ship, and the rivets are all of inferior quality. If you hit it, it will fall apart! You'll all be sunk to the bottom of the ocean to feed the sharks! ”

However, Lin Ming's warning did not work this time. Although both Jack and Ruth, many of the people who were going to board the ship were left on the docks.

There are obviously people on the Titanic who can give orders. So although this giant ship has experienced a series of previous "riots", this maiden voyage day is about to turn into a farce. But still with the rotation of the turbines, it began to roar, and rode the wind and waves towards the established course.

Lin Ming knew that it would be very difficult to stop it now. Although his ability can be used, in this world, it is by no means as powerful as in space. It is impossible to stop this huge ship that looks like a small city.

Lin Ming's plan failed to perfect the experiment, and he was about to withdraw and come back, but suddenly remembered that it seemed that another experiment could be carried out. If Jack and Ruth weren't on the boat, would the plot continue to the end?

So Lin Ming held two handles on the one hand, and aimed at the frightened crowd, "Sure enough, you are just disobedient and want to die!" ”

"Wait, Mr. Masked Hood. Can you tell us why you are so sure that the Titanic will be silent? ”

Next, Lin Ming was interviewed by these big newspaper reporters across the crowd. In the interview, he tried his best to touch the black and white star company, and no one came forward to refute it anyway. Not nothing, to be exact, but none of them are the leaders of the White Star Company.

This is a big joke, and the president of the White Star Corporation, JP Morgan, has declared that he wants to call it the Dream Ship. However, just two days ago, he suddenly announced that he was unwell and needed to rest. But anyone in the know knows that J.P. Morgan is now in romantic Paris.

So as Lin Ming broke more and more black material, these reporters were all excited. This is really big news, and of course it would be better if the ship actually sank.

Now, on the contrary, this group of unscrupulous reporters are writing reports denouncing the irresponsible behavior of the White Star Company and denouncing it as a conspiracy. Bless and pray for the passengers aboard the Titanic. On the other hand, they are thinking in their hearts, if it sinks, then this year's news will be there and there will be jobs.

So these reporters looked at Lin Ming's gaze as if they were treating a piece of grilled steak, their eyes glowing red.

"Mr. Masked Gunman, please say more, more revelations!"

Lin Ming thought for a while and said, "I need the most luxurious suite in the local hotel, and I want this young lady to serve me!" ”

Seeing Lin Ming pointing at one of the aristocratic ladies, it was Ruth, who was full of excitement and seemed to be happy because she had escaped the Titanic. As a result, before Carl could say anything against it, the third-rate painter Jack shouted: "Sir, don't you think this kind of behavior is not gentlemanly......"

A burst of bullets landed on the ground in front of Jack, turning into a two-letter abbreviation "SB", "Don't think that Lao Tzu is a patient person, bring this fat white woman to my room at once." ”

After Lin Ming finished speaking, in front of this group of frightened weak chickens, he walked towards one of the most luxurious hotels in Southampton Port.

Before the two bodyguard-like people could shoot, they collided twice and were directly knocked to the ground by bullets. A woman screamed, "Murder! ”

In fact, Lin Ming's thunder was heavy and rainy just now, except for injuring a few people, he didn't kill anyone. And now the two bodyguards are obviously shot in the eyebrows, and they can't die anymore.

Lin Ming snorted coldly, "Remember, I have a crush on that fat woman!" ”

His words directly made Ruth angry like thunder, "Fat woman! Am I not a fat woman? You blind home...... Woooooooo ”

Ruth's mouth was covered by her fiancé Carl, but many nobles looked at Ruth, and some of the noble ladies covered their mouths and snickered. The crowd kept saying, "It seems to be really fat!" "yes, I didn't see it before." "It's strong."

Carl looked embarrassed, in fact, he didn't think his fiancée was fat before, he just felt that this woman was really to his taste. But now he has to think about the image.

At this time, he heard Ruth shouting: "Mr. gunman, can you guarantee that if you take me hostage, you will not kill anyone else?" ”

Lin Ming thought for a while, "I can guarantee this." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Ruth's mother exclaimed, "No. ”

However, Carl, as Ruth's fiancé, did not say anything, on the contrary, the whole person hid behind his bodyguards. Ruth looked at her as if she were a stranger, with a slight sense of disgust.

Ruth stepped forward and smiled defiantly, "And what are you going to do with me, Mr. Gunslinger?" ”

"Keep up!"

Lin Ming didn't say much, and took Ruth into the private room of the hotel, as if he was used to living here. This made the meticulously observant female Wenqing Ruth very curious.

"You've been here before?"

"Your curiosity is serious, girl!"

"I'm curious about what kind of face you have under your mask. And why stop the Titanic's maiden voyage? ”

Lin Ming's mask made a somewhat hoarse voice that couldn't hear his age, "Because that's fun!" ”

"Hehe, it's really interesting."

Ruth realized that she had never experienced this before. Adventurous by nature, passionate and unrestrained, she suddenly had the urge to let this kidnapping continue to the end of the world.

Ruth knew it wouldn't be possible, as there would be an army coming soon. Carl, that guy, will definitely not sit idly by and watch his fiancée be taken away in public.

However, when she thought of the weak and incompetent guy who was in the face of the crisis, Ruth felt a sense of disgust. I don't know if it's disgusted with Carl's style, or disgusted with the kind of upper-class society that Carl is in.

"Okay, stay in bed, there's still a good show to watch later."

"Hmph, I don't believe you're not worried at all. What's more, now that the Titanic has sailed away, your plan has failed. ”

"No, there are no failures. Anyway, I'm just warning you, and what does it have to do with me that ship sank. ”

"I don't think the ship will sink, it's so big, what can sink it?"

"Miss Ruth, big doesn't mean strong. What's more, there are many more dangers at sea than humans know. ”

"Tell me, then, what is there to sink that behemoth?" Ruth looked at Lin Ming with some curiosity.

"For example, icebergs, or sudden storms, or huge eddies that suddenly appear in the deep sea, or warships of other countries. In short, the behemoth is not as unsinkable as they advertise. ”

At this time, the outside world is in chaos. There were police officers in the port of Southampton, and there was an army of 500 men stationed in the harbor, and there was a military port nearby, and not far from the garrison of another army of the British Empire.

At this time, the British Empire was not as weak as it was later. But it's a cinematic world, and the Southampton Harbour is so big that the only real thing that can be seen is the guards stationed in the port and the police officers who keep the law and order in the city.

Lin Ming has been to this city in the Titanic world many times, and he has long figured out the layout of the security forces in this city.

Not to mention that it was 1912, and the development of modern thermal weapons was not as exaggerated as the world that later experienced the First World War and the Second World War. Although Lin Ming knew that his ability was weakened in this world, it was more than enough to deal with the garrison of less than eight hundred people in total.

Lin Ming believes that the other party will not act rashly, and believes that it will be more based on negotiation.

But on the other hand, Carl was very angry and roared, "Why can't you get through? How could it not be connected. What about telegrams? Hasn't it been released yet? ”

"Yes, it's weird, it should have been connected before." The telegraph correspondents were also confused, after all, they did not expect that the telegram could not reach the nearby army.

Karl was furious and ordered the driver to drive him back to the manor immediately. Then something even stranger happened, when Karl reappeared at Southampton Harbour, he remembered that he had returned to the manor, but he could not remember exactly what he had done or what he had commanded.

Carl asked his driver, and got the same result, the exact process is completely unknown, and more importantly, Carl had to bring private forces from his estate to deal with the guy.

Carl clearly remembered that his father had arranged for him a whole private army that was comparable to that of the regular army. But now he is completely absent. At this time, the only ones who could really help him were the bodyguards around Carl who appeared in the movie at that time.
