Chapter 54: New Discoveries (Recommend!Collect!)
"The description in the journal shows that he seems to be working for the Shangguan family or the Nightmare Pirates, which is similar to what I thought...... I haven't contacted you for more than half a year, presumably because my personal freedom has been restricted, but fortunately, in the current situation, he is safe. ”
Lu Jing glanced at Fu Ju, who didn't have a good face, stuffed a few more slices of meat into the bowl with a lot of noodles and handed them over, and said,
"The trouble now is that our infiltration behavior may make the Shangguan family take risks. ”
"Desperate?"
Taking the bowl and taking a sip of broth, Fu Ju answered.
"What are the consequences of the discovery of these two things, the person in charge of the Shangguan family knows better than us, do you think they will do after they find out that their secrets are likely to have been exposed, and sit back and wait?"
Lu Jing scooped up the noodles for Xu Xu, and then said,
"They will definitely find a way to cover up this matter, as long as all those who know are disposed of, the logs, classics and puppets in our hands, they can be said to be forged!"
"So many people saw it just now, and didn't you notify the government......
"You underestimate those guys too much, the kidnapping case in Qihuang City, the number of missing people so far is at least fifty, not to mention the puppet experiments that those guys secretly do, compared to the consequences of the planned exposure, more than a dozen lives are nothing in their eyes. ”
In Lu Jing's opinion, no matter what kind of response the Shangguan family will make, the Nightmare Pirates will definitely not compromise with any official forces!
"Then we need to inform the Alliance Navy as soon as possible?"
"That's right, we'll go to the nearby islands tomorrow to contact them, the nearest naval branch should be near Huashu Island, it won't take much time to get to Qihuang City, it will always take time to deal with the traces, as long as we can catch some clues, the rest will be easy." ”
According to the laws of the Shuoming Dynasty, the alliance navy will not and cannot be stationed in most of the island cities, they have their own strongholds or bases, and if there is a problem on a certain island, the local authorities can contact the nearest naval base at any time.
There was actually a contact point on Qihuang Island, and Lu Jing originally planned to contact the Alliance Navy as soon as he got the evidence, so that they would be caught off guard.
However, the previous situation really did not allow Lu Jing to go, after all, the oil on the street only had time to pour one place, and if he delayed for a while, he would be chased by zombies again.
"Captain, Fu Ju, I think you should take a look at this, Fu Jiangxin is probably no longer in Qihuang City!"
In between the two chatting, Xu Chu also turned his log to a certain page.
The log in Lu Jing's hand records the research from June to August, and Fu Ju's is from December of the previous year to February this year, and what Xu Zhu sees is naturally the log from March to May.
In other words, what happened after Fu Jiangxin was kidnapped by the Shangguan family.
"How?"
Fu Ju took the log, and Lu Jing simply asked Xu Ju directly.
"Fu Gongxin...... It was the blacked-out name here, according to the account, that he was the leader of the experiment at first, and appeared very frequently, with him on almost every page of the first half of the journal, but since the end of March, the blacked-out name has disappeared from the journal, as if this person had never appeared. ”
Xu Xi's skills in interpreting words are undoubted, the bookshelves in the captain's room are full of dozens of books that are about to be turned over and more than a dozen new books that have just been bought are not in vain, compared to Lu Jing and Fu Ju, he undoubtedly read more carefully.
"You're saying we're wrong...... He actually ......"
Lu Jing picked up the log at his feet and flipped through it again, as Xu Chu said, although there are many places in this diary that have been blacked out, most of them are focused on items and some experimental contents, such as the description of the experimental leader has disappeared, based on this, Lu Jing immediately thought of another possibility of "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".
"No, I also think that Fu Jiangxin is still alive, but now he is not in Qihuang City, and this journal mentions that on March 29, someone in Qihuang City left Qihuang Island with the first core controller that had been made and went to the equipment warehouse...... It seems to me that this so-called 'appliance warehouse' is obviously some real stronghold, not a laboratory like the Chengfeng Doll Factory, but a finished product storage room!"
Xu Chu nodded at the log in Fu Ju's hand, and then said,
"Assuming that the Soul Golem is the so-called core controller, we can't understand its usage at all after we get our hands on it, and the people of the Nightmare Pirates are probably not far behind, they need someone who can explain to them and teach them how to use it, who could be more suitable to be this explainer than the person who created it?"
"This ...... Where do I find it?"
Hearing that Fu Jiangxin was probably no longer in Qihuang City, Fu Ju was stunned at first, and then inevitably felt a little at a loss.
With her current abilities, what she could do in Qihuang Island was the limit, and it was an almost impossible task for her to track down someone who was likely to be under the control of the Nightmare Pirates in the Infinite Sea.
What happened on the boat is the best proof of this, she can only be a bystander in the face of those who have extraordinary abilities......
Because of this, Fu Ju's gaze quickly fell on Lu Jing.
"Don't worry, the two of us are on a par with the Nightmare Pirates, if we can find trouble with them, we won't miss it, and there is also a reward for transforming the soul puppet. ”
If you can find the true stronghold of the Nightmare Pirates by looking for Fu Jiangxin, it means that you can "summon" the Alliance Navy as thugs, and maybe you can solve these guys once and for all, which is a surefire deal in Lu Jing's opinion.
"But then you might have to stay on the ship for a while...... Why don't we put you on a safe island and come back to you when we have news?"
It's not that there are no rooms on the Tidestream, Lu Jing was interested in the completeness of the ship's internal facilities when he chose the ship, because he didn't plan to recruit many crew members, so there were actually five independent crew rooms in the second-floor cabin, plus the captain's room, there were six, so there was no problem for Fu Ju to stay.
The key is that Fu Ju is not his crew after all, and Lu Jing doesn't know if she can bear or is willing to bear the dangers at sea, so it is a little embarrassing for a girl who has never really ventured out to sea with the two of them.
"No, I don't want to wait for you to come to me...... I can help you repair the ship, and over the years I have learned other techniques besides doll making, magic, lockpicking, and tricks...... I'll do a little bit of it, and I can make a lot of props to help you as long as the materials are enough!"
Fu Ju didn't think about life at all, but thought that Lu Jing wanted to find an excuse to let her leave, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said.
finally found the clues of her brother and the collaborators who were willing to help her find someone, how could she give up?
