Chapter 50: The Living Ghost

Evening.

The Follower Prison at the bottom.

The three guards lined up in a line, holding their chests high and their heads up, trying to make their standing posture as standard and professional as possible.

"The two living materials you just sent are not bad, the drug experiment was successful, and this is your reward."

The physician in a mechanical mask opened the medical kit he was carrying, took out a light blue candle the thickness of his wrist and placed it on the table.

If you look closely, you will see that there is a black dot the size of a thumb inside the candle, like an insect that has only been sealed inside.

"It's ......"

The captain of the guard guarding the cell asked.

"The aromatherapy made of insects can relieve your body's fatigue and improve your physical fitness to a certain extent, especially in that aspect, it does not need to be ignited, it will gradually evaporate over time."

Pelote described its function in a flat tone, and the guards on the other side suddenly lit up when they heard that it actually had a strengthening effect on that aspect.

What man would refuse such "reinforcement"?

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the reward!"

"Well, pay attention to night safety, I have other things, let's go first."

Reclosing the lid to cover the identical scent of insects inside, Perot turned straight away.

At the same time, the stern of the Follow-through.

A pair of gritty-covered palms climb up the corners of the decorative statue with a protruding tail.

Yan Jing turned and sat down with the statue's head tilted forward, which was still about two meters high from the stern side of the ship.

In front of him, the sand waves were churning because of the progress of the Follower Light.

The distant horizon engulfs the last rays of the sun.

Yan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, took off the blood robe and put it back into the space, and took out a small knife instead.

Lu Wujin's [Warning] special effect allowed him to detect Pelote's killing intent towards him first, but he did not make any resistance at the stern of the ship.

The reason is simple.

Yan Jing realized that she could not work with Pelote.

The latter, or the forces behind him, had no intention of looking for the relics of Lantis, let alone giving him the spoils of war.

To complete the event mission, Yan Jing must ensure that the Light Follower is not destroyed.

But if he directly reveals Pelote's plan, he can certainly stop Pelote's plan, but he will also be identified.

What Yan Jing wanted was never for this group of random experiments on people to be grateful to him, he wanted something more practical!

It is precisely because of this that Yan Jing was thrown into the sea of sand.

Now he was taken to the infirmary in the eyes of the prison guards, and Joshua and the others in the infirmary were killed by him, and Pelote, who only knew his identity, sank him into the sea with his own hands, thinking that he was mortal.

Suddenly.

Yan Jing became a living ghost.

The opportunity that belongs to him also comes at this moment.

Raising the short knife in his hand, he took a deep breath and stabbed himself in the shoulder and right chest, leaving several bloody holes that were not deep or shallow.

The pain and blood loss made Yan Jing's face pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, but his strong physical fitness quickly suppressed the injury and stopped the bleeding.

The wound looked scary, but it didn't affect Yan Jing's movements.

There is one final step.

Move the knife upwards and cut diagonally from the right corner of the mouth to the top of the mouth, breaking through the flesh and revealing the teeth underneath.

Yan Jing's body trembled with pain, and the corners of his eyes shone uncontrollably, but at this moment, he raised his chin and raised his gaze, staring at the moon rings that were gradually brightening in the dark gray sky.

Yan Jing knew a long time ago that if you want to get the best things, you have to put in far more effort than ordinary people!

The short knife was once again in the space, letting the blood from the wound at the corner of his mouth drip on his chest, and Yan Jing's left hand was slowly raised in front of him.

A strangely shaped spirit mask emerges.

Previously, in the medical room, in addition to killing people, Yan Jing had actually received a part of the compensation.

Soon after.

The two soldiers in charge of the night patrol stepped into the aft deck chatting and passed several wooden barrels stacked on top of each other.

Pong~

Suddenly, there was a strange noise, which caused the two of them to hurriedly raise their guns.

followed the sound to find the middle-aged man, who was in a particularly miserable state after seeing the barrel, and saw his appearance clearly through the searchlight on the ship, the two were immediately stunned in place, and immediately rushed forward to check in shock.

"Your Excellency Joshua, why are you here?"

"You must go and inform Lord Rosser at once, someone ...... Uh~ Someone invaded the Xunguang and he sneaked up and snatched my clothes...... I suspect he was sent by some force...... There must be various means in the follow-up. ”

Yan Jing, who was panting hard, clenched the sleeves of the soldiers, and because of the wound at the corner of his mouth, it was difficult to even speak, so he could only use a vague voice to intermittently recount what happened to him.

The soldier standing on the side was about to turn around to inform Rosser, but as soon as he turned around, he shouted,

"Wait, you have to stay hidden...... The fact that I am alive must not be revealed to anyone other than Lord Rosser, if the intruders are aware of it...... There is a high probability that the situation will get completely out of control! ”

"I understand, please rest assured, I will report to Lord Rose, John, you stay here to protect Lord Joshua."

Realizing the urgency of the situation, the soldier said in a deep voice with a stiff face, turned and walked away quickly.

"Help me find a piece of clothing, don't go to the infirmary, I might run into the intruder, I need your uniform as a cover."

Seeing that one was gone, Yan Jing turned his head and explained to the remaining soldiers.

"Can you ...... your current status"

"I'm a doctor, no one knows the condition of my body better than me, if you stay here, it's easy to expose my existence, go get your clothes immediately!"

"You wait here, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Joshua, who was a ship doctor and a scholar of the Origins School, had no difficulty ordering ordinary sailors.

After the two soldiers all left, Yan Jing immediately began to adjust his state, raising his hand and pulling the wound to let more blood remain.

No way, the physical fitness is too good at this time, and it is also a troublesome matter.

This is also the main reason why he specially asked for a dress, which had to be covered a little.

Otherwise, half of the wound will heal automatically, and then it will be all goofs!

After a while, the two soldiers returned.

Yan Jing put on the soldier's uniform, and with the support of the two of them, he took advantage of the night to go to the Source Pagoda where Roser was located.

At this time, Pelote was clearly still busy in the cabin, completely unaware of what was happening on the deck.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Source Tower, Yan Jing saw a one-eyed strong man guarding the door, and when he followed Perot around the Xunguang earlier, Yan Jing specially learned about the situation of this ship, and immediately realized that this should be the deputy captain of the Xunguang, Burns.

"Joshua, what the hell is going on?"

Burns, who rushed here immediately after receiving the news of Rosser, took the paralyzed Yan Jing from the soldier's hands, and let the soldier return to his post first, because the uniform covered most of the wounds, he could only ask with an ugly face at the moment.

"We ...... We're being targeted! ”

Still in a vague tone, Burns only felt extremely angry.

That bastard actually deliberately hurt Joshua's mouth and didn't let him speak normally!
