Chapter 1032 The Unspeakable Purpose

I was satisfied with the speed at which Emily and Cagalli moved: "Great, you did a great job."

Then, I said to Cagalli: "Give the crystal to Emily, I want to explain something to her."

A few seconds later, Emily's voice came from the other side of the crystal: "Hello, hello, Xiaoyi, I'm Emily."

"Emily, let me ask you, have the boarding personnel who were among the passengers boarded the airship?"

Emily: "Not yet. It's still some time before boarding ends. I didn't let them board the boat so early."

"Very good," I said, "Now, let me announce the latest order - after the grounding order is issued, any airship pilot who dares to disobey the order and take off without authorization will be shot to death."

"I know," Emily said, "Are there any other command codes?"

"No, that's it, I hung up."

As I said that, I turned off the call crystal, and when I turned my head, the supervisor who was staring at the display screen was looking at me with a horrified expression.

I glanced at the screen and asked him, "Is something wrong?"

He hesitated and said, "Master An Xiaoyi, is something serious about to happen?"

I nodded: "It's very serious. This matter may even endanger the lives of some people in your clan, including their self-esteem and freedom."

"I understand." The supervisor asked no more questions, frowning and staring at the numbers on the screen.

On the huge display screen, in the time column, the seconds were beating regularly, and with each beat, the supervisor's breathing would become heavier, just like the scientific workers who were watching the countdown clock before the rocket was launched. .

No matter the expression or demeanor, they are all so similar. The difference is that what the scientific workers are about to usher in is a leap in technological progress, while what the supervisor is about to usher in is the hope of saving the people.

Every second seems to pass quickly, but in the process of waiting, it seems to become very slow and anxious.

My expression looked very indifferent. However, the closer the time came to the pre-flight, the more nervous I became because it would herald the beginning of our action.

Whether she was really abducted by human traffickers has always been a conjecture between Emily and me. Moreover, even if she was really abducted, there are nearly a hundred airships, each of which is exaggeratedly large. Can we really find that person? Several kidnapped children?

I don't know any of this.

The only thing I can do now is to do my best to find those missing children - if they were really abducted.

Finally, after a long wait, the time for pre-flight arrived.

The supervisor picked up the communication crystal and gave an order. All the magic airships in the base that were preparing to ignite and warm up instantly turned off their fires and stopped quietly.

A few seconds later, a noisy sound came from the communication crystal on the operating console, like a group of flies buzzing. This annoying buzzing sound had only one meaning: Why should we ground the aircraft?

The supervisor was explaining to many voices here, while I dialed Dewey's phone crystal.

"It's Xiaoyi," Dewey said.

As soon as Dewey's voice came out, the supervisor immediately shut up, stood up straight, and looked respectfully at the call crystal in my hand.

I said to Dewey: "Dad, I have stopped the airship. Now the situation is a little chaotic. I would like to lend you your majesty to calm down the situation."

After that, I turned up the volume of the call crystal and handed it to the supervisor. The supervisor took the crystal respectfully and carefully placed it in front of the call crystal on the console.

Dewey coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm Dewey."

After saying this, the call crystal on the console instantly became silent.

Dewey said 'hmm' and continued: "My son has asked me for permission in advance about the grounding, and I approved it. Does any of you have any objections?"

There was silence in the call crystal, as if there was no one on the other side.

Dewey suddenly raised his voice: "You guys should say something!"

In an instant, a neat and loud reply came from the call crystal: "Yes, Mr. Dewey, we have no objections!"

"Yes." Dewey hummed. I stretched out my hand, took the crystal, and said respectfully, "Thank you godfather for your help."

Dewey chuckled: "The trouble is solved, you can do whatever you need to do, I'm going to be busy too, by the way, remember to bring my goddaughters-in-law when you have time, I've prepared a lot of good things What I want to give them is the best beef jerky in Dashai City, the best honey in Moonlight City, and some collected on some islands."

Listening to Dewey's long speech, my head was spinning, but there were outsiders around, and I couldn't refute his face, so I had to be patient and deal with it with a perfunctory "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."

After a long while, Dewey finally finished speaking and hung up the crystal with a click.

My head was pounding when I heard it, and my lower eyelids were twitching. It took me a long time to finally suppress the evil fire in my heart.

The supervisor asked me cautiously: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, are you okay?"

I exhaled softly and rubbed my chest vigorously: "It's okay, I can't die."

The thorough investigation did not go smoothly. The airship pilot was relatively cooperative, but the performance of the passengers was not so satisfactory.

In particular, some passengers in the room refused to open the door and cooperate, and even clamored to sue the Legion of Roses members responsible for the inspection at the local court.

When I heard the news, I almost burst out laughing. Although Zephyr Continent does have institutions such as courts, they are directly controlled by the top city lord of the town and the top authority of the adventurer base in the area. You guys If these people really want to sue the members of the Rose Legion, they should at least sue in a town other than Moonlight City. Trying to sue the members of the Rose Legion here is simply a fool's errand.

Closer to home, although their protest and threats will not have any substantive effect, the people of the Rose Legion have nothing to do with these people. We cannot tell them that we have lost our children and suspect that there are children abducted on this airship. People, if you really say that, then our search progress will become more difficult, because we have exposed our purpose.

Once our purpose is known to the traffickers, they are likely to attack the abducted children, and this situation often leads to only one direct result: the children are killed.

Yes, only dead people cannot speak, and only dead people will not reveal that they are human traffickers. These crazy guys will definitely do this in order to protect themselves!

Therefore, no matter how much the passengers criticize, no matter how much they resist, we can only use one reason to excuse it: the top management ordered an inventory of contraband.
