Chapter 113 Ye Xiang
"Found it, the source is directly below." A quarter of an hour later, Elodie reminded, "Can you see what's below?"
The two of them were about a hundred meters above the ground at the moment, and with only the moonlight and starry sky reflecting light at night, Chaoyang could only vaguely see a dark outline across the beach and waves. "A little further down, it's too dark."
Elodie quickly dropped a lot.
The shadow outline also expanded, as if it was no longer a whole, but a piece of many broken things.
Chaoyang looked at it for a long time and suddenly realized what these things were...
"This is a ship cemetery, and there are all stranded and scrapped ships below!"
"I see, this is a good place to hide." After confirming that no one was on guard, Elodie quietly landed on the bridge of a damaged ship with Chaoyang. It can be seen that the ship underfoot should be an ocean-going cargo ship. The steel deck is covered with rust. Half of it is soaked in the sea. Every time the sea water hits the hull, it will make a hollow impact sound.
But the two soon noticed that there were strings of sea fish hanging on the fences on both sides of the bow.
This is obviously not something the fish jumped on and caught on its own.
There is no doubt that someone has been living here for a long time.
"Can you cast the dream spell through the wall?" Elodie asked.
"If you just want to give a hint, a wall will do. But if you want to read the memory, it's best to have close contact." Chaoyang closed his eyes and began to shape the clone. "Next, let's use the old method. I'll be responsible for sneaking in. You My vision can guide me."
The advantage of having abundant willpower is that he can fully display his abilities - the fifty willpower consumed by a temporary clone is nothing to him, and its main cost is time.
Then there is optical invisibility, five points of willpower per hour.
An hour and a half later, Chaoyang's clone, which completely blended into the background, rolled through the bridge window and began to move down the stairs. The light inside the ship was much darker than outside, and he was almost unable to see his fingers. He turned on his telescoping vision as usual to gain close-range night vision, but unexpectedly found that his newly acquired transparent circle almost covered the surrounding area. The environment is outlined to every detail!
Especially the small circle that has been filled in, the ground shows a striking gray-white color, almost no different from the daytime.
"Can you see the things around you clearly?" He suddenly remembered that the angel was still connected to his vision.
"It's barely okay. What it looks like to you is what it looks like to me."
Obviously the other party cannot see this circle.
Chaoyang didn't ask any more questions and went all the way to the lower deck of the ship - there was no sign of water intrusion, but the entrance to the cabin was blocked by an iron door.
This iron door is not a common watertight door, and it also has a door handle on the outside. He tried pushing and found that the door was locked.
"It seems we have to find another way..."
"Don't you know how to pick locks?"
"Of course not, I am a law-abiding citizen! Could it be that you would?"
Elodie's voice suddenly became softer, "...I learned it in the slums before."
"Then you try it. Concentrate, I will guide your consciousness in -" This is not the first time Chaoyang has done this kind of thing. This method was used to squeeze Zhang Zhiyuan and Zhou Zhi into the same body before, " Next I will release some control and you can try moving your hands."
"This feels...so weird." Elodie murmured.
"After all, now you have me, and I have you. How about... can you move?"
The angel raised his hand with consciousness, and the body responded truthfully, "It's done. But I need tools, such as... hairpins or something like that."
"Simple." Chaoyang directly used his willpower to shape two hairpins, "Now it's in your hands."
"The devil's ability is so convenient!" Elodie couldn't help but envy.
"That requires willingness. If I hadn't discovered Paradise, I would have drank Meng Po Soup by now."
"What soup?" asked the angel, tinkering with the keyhole.
"This soup can bring you back to life after drinking it. It's a specialty of the East. If you have a chance to come here, I'll invite you to try it."
"Why do I think you are fooling me... Let's go!"
Only a soft click was heard, and the door handle turned directly to the bottom.
Elodie also saw a line of words floating in her field of vision: The level of lockpicking has been improved!
"If possible, I hope you won't waste your energy on this kind of thing."
"It's just special effects. There is no cost for this." Chaoyang regained control of his hands and gently pushed open the iron door. What is amazing is that there is a faint fire under the cabin!
"Be careful, there is someone on your left!" Elodie also warned.
I saw a burly man walking over the iron gate passage, and his footsteps were extremely loud in the cabin.
When he came to the door, he looked around, muttered in confusion, "Sure enough, I heard wrong..." and turned back to the shadows.
Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he closed the door quickly. The distance between the two of them when they were closest just now was no more than thirty centimeters. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they just passed by each other.
"Where is the target?"
"It's about seventy meters away from you, but you have to keep going down."
Chaoyang gently lifted his feet and began to move forward slowly - the roads in the cabin were basically semi-suspended iron gates, and there would be obvious echoes when the soles of shoes were stepped on them. Although he can become visually invisible, he cannot eliminate the noise he makes, so he needs to be extremely careful when moving in such a place.
Looking down the aisle, I saw five or six iron barrels placed in the empty cargo hold. The barrels contained burning firewood and grease, which was also the source of the light. And next to these iron barrels, there were hundreds of people sleeping - they didn't even have a bed, so they could only lie on the simplest floor. Some people appeared to be injured, with bandages and blood stains visible on their bodies.
There is no doubt that the Mining Brotherhood transformed the ship graveyard into its own secret stronghold.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is indeed a good place - pirates often appear in the countryside southeast of Brilliant Castle, and most people will never set foot in this dangerous area. The city guard's patrols will only protect a few fishing villages on the south coast, and the threat to the Brotherhood is limited. In addition, there is no fog on the sea, which means that they can move north by boat, all the way along the coastline to the east side of the mine, and pick up the compatriots who have escaped from the mine.
The only problem is that there is a watchtower in the southeast corner of the city. If a large number of people are found traveling between the wasteland and the city, they will definitely be suspicious, so Chaoyang guesses that there should be a secret passage connecting this cemetery area to the Brilliant Castle.
Following Elodie's reminder, Chaoyang went down to the bottom of the cabin, passed through the densely populated central area, and sneaked all the way to the partition at the bow of the ship. The space here is divided into several parts by watertight walls, and the source of the signal sensed by the angel comes from one of the houses.
He noticed that there was no one guarding this area. Perhaps the Brotherhood had limited manpower, or they believed that the bottom of the ship was absolutely safe. In short, the only thing blocking them now was a few thick airtight doors. This kind of door cannot even be locked. Turn the valve slightly and the door will open.
