Chapter 127: Death Spreading in the Sky
On the bridge of this airship.
The crowd in imperial ** costumes is busy... The image projected by an unknown crystal takes on a dangerous crimson color.
"What's going on?"
Standing in the center of the bridge, a captain with white hair and a bushy beard, but not at all old, the captain of the 'Farewell Tempest', stood up, his brow tightly furrowed, and looked out the window at the clouds that were as dark as night.
A few lightning flashes from time to time are particularly infiltrating.
"Commander, didn't you say that it was absolutely impossible for this route to encounter stormy weather?"
"It's... Captain Commander... The weather in the sky should not have been as varied as at sea......"
"Should it be?" The captain glared angrily at several middle-aged men sitting on the console in front of him.
"But the weather in this area seems to be a little strange, and the thunder and lightning clouds are almost all gathered in an instant." One of them wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Heh, is it possible that anyone can do anything to this sky?"
As a captain, he spent almost all his life on this airship, from a young and ignorant Sky Harbor miscellaneous servant to his current position as captain.
The experience of sailing in the sky is definitely no worse than anyone present.
"Raise the height above the thunder clouds! Don't let your guests be frightened! Her Royal Highness the Imperial Lady can be among them... If there is one of three longs and two shorts, and you will lose your whole family, you will not be able to thank this sin! ”
"It's... Yes..."
The controllers below echoed one after another.
That's probably why they're so nervous......
Originally, she was a girl who was known to the world because of the title of princess, but now she is a hero. Once again, she was remembered by the world for her real name, not an unknown person who was given the title of princess.
The real heir, in the battle of Buried Golden City, the strength of Her Royal Highness the Empress has long been rumored to be miraculous......
After all, a sword has split a demonic beast close to the city wall into two......
What saved Miss Priest from the hands of the infamous Undertaker, an organization that shadows the hearts of almost everyone in the world......
Originally, the world thought that the princess was just the daughter of a common man who was so lucky... However, after the Battle of Burying Jincheng, there were gradually some people who supported the existence of the imperial daughter to inherit the throne.
The captain has nothing to say about this, but the other party is a high-ranking princess, second only to the existence of His Royal Highness the Emperor, and if he doesn't entertain him well, he won't want to continue in this life.
"The ship... Captain! The power furnace of the airship seems to... Seems to be broken? ”
"What?" The captain was shocked.
Sure enough, at the moment when the words fell. Suddenly, the airship came to a halt in mid-air. The resulting inertia almost didn't make the captain fall to the ground.
Damn it! Why did all the bad luck happen to me today!?
The captain glanced out the window at the increasingly bad weather and made a quick decision.
"What does the maintenance department do for food? They have 10 minutes to fix the power furnace! ”
The captain roared......
"No response!" The correspondent replied weakly: "Can't get to the maintenance department!" They haven't reacted......"
The area of this airship is very large, and the personnel who are usually responsible for maintaining the airship live on the lowest level of the airship. The communication method is also through which special crystals are used to communicate. And give orders.
"No response? Damn it......" The uneasiness in the captain's heart began to grow more and more intense. What a coincidence, everything is so coincidental!
When it hit the lightning clouds, the power furnace of the airship failed!
Intuition led the captain to continue to speak out loud orders.
"Bring the screen of the monitoring crystal to the rest room of the maintenance department! Now ......"
Is it an air pirate? The barbarians who invaded the sky......
The captain remained calm. The voice is so sonorous and powerful.
"Ming... Got it! ”
But when the correspondent shifted the picture to the maintenance room, an eerie silence fell into the bridge.
Blood... Blood was covered in every corner of the frame, several pitch-black creatures were wriggling, and human limbs were lying to the ground......
They're eating human flesh!
Eventually, a monster realized that something was watching them, and it pounced...
The final scene ends with a view of blood-stained hideous faces rushing up.
The dead silence was finally broken by the captain's orders.
"All hands are ready to fight! Arm the convoys! Protecting passengers... The airship has been invaded by unknown creatures! Alert Level 1! Run! Fast! ”
"The ship... Captain... Something seems to have dangled over the glass! ”
A timid driver pointed to the glass that had been struck by rain and lightning, and the sky was gloomy and breathless.
"Boy! There's no time to listen to your nonsense right now! If you're scared, get out of this airship! ”
The captain wanted to continue the order, but the cold aura representing death hit his whole body!
His body stiffened and he didn't dare to move, and a dagger was pressed against his neck......
Trembling, his eyes slowly looked to the side......
A pair of scarlet pupils shone in the darkness.
"The ship... Captain! Behind you... Yes... A ghost! ”
The captain did not answer his men again, for his head had already fallen to the ground with the bloom of blood.
A figure in a gray robe stood in front of everyone.
"Give away the time of death...... It's ......."
The harsh sound echoed through the bridge.
Lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the interior of the bridge...... The metal skull mask and scarlet pupils with deep sarcasm were reflected in everyone's eyes......
It was the last thing they saw in their lives.
The dagger was raised slightly...
The bodies of more than twenty people inside the bridge were cut off and torn apart... Blood spurted and splattered on the ground made of steel.
None of them survived, and they died without even the idea of escaping......
Lu Qiu stood in the bridge, smelling the smell of blood wafting in the air, the gloomy sky was the best village for Lu Qiu.
With the blood-stained dagger in hand, Lu Qiu walked towards the console step by step, his gray trench coat fluttering, and the shabby corner was stained with blood.
According to the memories in the minds of those humans who had just been killed, Lu Qiu picked up a small and delicate crystal.
This crystal can transmit any information to any corner of the airship.
What to say?
You've been kidnapped! Everybody dies or something?
No...
Lu Qiu has not forgotten the identity he played.
A member of the world's most feared Assassin Order of Mourners, the undertaker who gave the deceased the last dignity...
Assassin, Assassin, Killer......
These are Lu Qiu's identities.
And not a butcher! Bandit! Executioner!
Kill only one person, give away the death to the target, and then walk away! That's what an Assassin is supposed to do.
Now, the target of this assassin is none other than Her Royal Highness, Naiya. Dodland's life.
So slaughter or something...... We'll talk about that then.
Lu Qiu spoke, and his voice became very soft.
"Good evening, citizens of the Empire, please don't panic about this storm, the airship will survive this storm safely, and the central capital is not far from here... Tonight, it's a wonderful night, so please enjoy it... Wonderful night out! ”
After saying everything, the crystal in Lu Qiu's hand fell to the ground... Broken......
In this room with only corpses, it should have been silent.
But a discordant voice sounded.
The scarlet pupils turned sideways, looking at a surviving human on the ground who was about to escape.
"Send... Undertaker...... No... Don't kill me! ”
He felt fear not because of the corpses on the ground, but because of the presence standing in front of him!
The ghost that everyone fears......
It's just that fear can't make him hold on to his life.
The dagger pierced the silence of the night, adding a touch of scarlet to the darkness once more.
A dagger stabbed into the surviving human's brain, nailing his body to the wall behind him!
Blood trickled down the walls, and only the expression of fear was forever frozen on his face.
"How... Nice... Night. ”
There was an inexplicable excitement in the rough voice. (To be continued......)
