[Sato Kazuma: There's a problem. There's a mole on this ship. It's very likely that the monsters didn't infiltrate the ship on their own, but rather that a mole arranged for those little things to come aboard!]
Then, in the chaos last night, they attacked the driver's cab and created the illusion that it was safe through an inside man.
Kazuma, sipping a special drink through a straw in the ship's corridor, instantly deduced a possibility from the details of the incident.
As for an insider capable of doing this, the person in charge on the ship is very likely the one.
That is, the person in charge of TEPCO, Katsumasa Hayami, who previously arranged for everyone to protect each other in the corridor.
As an old man, he was one of the few who did not experience shortness of breath like other old men; instead, he survived the gas attack.
Kerry immediately set off and found a staff member to ask about Katsumasa Hayami's location.
"It should be the second lounge on the right on the third floor. May I ask who you are looking for, Mr. Hayami...?"
"Where do I get to the bridge? I have something to discuss with the captain."
Kerry didn't bother to talk to him anymore. Revealing the news now would only panic the people on the ship and alert them, causing them to hide.
The best solution now is to go directly to the driver's cab and see what's going on.
Whether it was attacked or the ship's captain was bribed from the beginning, the old man from TEPCO didn't know what was going on.
[Sato Kazuma: Understood. Kirito, go upstairs and try to act like nothing happened. I'll be right down.]
The two people inside were separated, one on the upper floor and one on the lower floor. Kazuma was currently patrolling the fifth floor.
[Kiritani Kazuto: Okay]
After receiving the location, Kirito immediately turned and headed towards the lounge. Sure enough, he saw Tokyo Electric Power Company's bodyguards and a tall fighter who looked to be almost two meters tall in front of the door.
Kirito has now replaced his bird-beak mask with a gas mask and walked straight forward.
"There are some safety issues with this ship, I need to go see Mr. Hayami."
He tried his best to act as if he were genuinely looking for someone, just as He Zhen had said.
"Chairman Hayami is resting now. He's had a long day. If you need anything, you can tell us. We can issue orders for some safety measures on your behalf. I'm sure the chairman won't blame us when he wakes up."
Kirito immediately sensed something was wrong. He had already mentioned the safety issue, yet they still had this attitude.
"This room isn't safe. Let's get Mr. Hayami out first."
Kirito adopted a cold tone this time.
"We will protect the president's safety. Mr. Witcher, you should tell us what happened as soon as possible."
Your insistence on seeing the president makes us uneasy; after all, we're not comfortable with the president having close contact with someone like you. Of course, it's not that we don't trust you, it's just that we…”
Kirito was getting tired of arguing with these people, but he remained calm and made one last attempt.
"You'd better get out of the way."
The ship is now heading into unknown territory, and no one knows what the destination will be like. Asuna's life, and the lives of so many people on board, may be in danger, so they can't afford to do anything frivolous here.
"Oh? It seems you do have some ulterior motives. But we can't just let you pass like this. Or are you going to make a move? We must warn you, if you do, you'll be attacking the ship..."
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, Kirito slammed his hand on the face of the man who had just been there, slamming him and everyone behind him against the wall.
The big guy next to him immediately sprang into action.
The gatekeeper is Masaki Meguro, one of Katsumasa Hayami's adopted sons. He practices judo independently and has a strange constitution that constantly secretes adrenaline, meaning the more you beat him, the more excited he becomes. Due to his hormonal imbalances, he is extremely ruthless and kills several yakuza masters, including his own father, when he was 13 years old. He has remained at large to this day thanks to the protection of Tokyo Electric Power Company, a force that remained unmoved even after causing a nuclear accident.
"Hehehe! Everyone says you people are monsters? I'm the monster..."
The big guy instinctively grabbed Kirito's clothes and tried to use a throw, even preparing to exert force with his waist.
But the next moment, his body swayed, and the big guy, who could hardly feel the pain, turned his head and saw that his knee had been gouged out by the sword light.
The enormous body crashed to the ground.
Despite his supposed bloodthirstiness, the number of people he killed in his lifetime was less than a quarter of that of any one of the four Kree during that period.
However, the big guy reacted quickly; he immediately sprang up from the ground on all three limbs and turned his eyes toward Kirito.
"Come on! You've made me excited and bleed! Gaa!"
The moment he sprang up, Kirito's sword precisely slashed into his neck, and then, using the cut as a base, he slammed his other hand against the hilt of the sword, causing the head, which was much larger than that of an ordinary person, to roll off.
The muscle density is good, but it's still not durable enough for cutting.
With a kick, Kirito sent the massive headless corpse hurtling towards the guards who had drawn their guns. Then, he stepped forward and delivered a swift and powerful punch.
It struck the guards who had been knocked down against the wall.
Actually, he didn't know how to control his strength to knock people unconscious; he just used this method to give them concussions.
Other patrol personnel in the corridor immediately noticed the situation and wanted to go forward to inquire.
However, Kirito couldn't wait any longer. He pushed aside the group of people who were almost stuck to the door and then kicked the door roughly.
The poor lock couldn't withstand such violence and was broken open, but the room was empty.
"Tsk!"
Kirito immediately reported the situation to the authorities.
On the other side, Kerry and Xiangzi chose to go upstairs via the stairs, leaping quickly up and down them.
There were no obstacles on the way from the inside to the corridor outside the driver's cab.
The interior design around the bridge is quite striking. This is the tenth floor of the cruise ship, and the surrounding area seems to be designed for visiting guests, with transparent glass walls offering views of the outside.
The two were about to move upwards when Xiangzi's exclamation interrupted Keli's actions.
"That is……?"
Following the direction Xiangzi pointed, Kerry looked back. The higher vantage point allowed tourists to see a wider expanse of sea beyond the cruise ship itself. At this moment, directly in front of the ship, the outline of an island shrouded in mist could be vaguely seen.
216
Chapter 216 Heading Towards the Island.
Seeing that thing, and the cruise ship heading straight ahead.
Kerry had no doubt that this might be their destination.
Regardless of where that place is, since the troublemakers are going there, the priority now is to prevent the ship from going there.
Kerry drew his sword and charged straight toward the driver's cab.
Sure enough, there were guards there, and at the same time, a broadcast came from inside the cabin.
"Breaking news! The invited exorcism force has split up and attacked Mr. Katsumasa Hayami and the cockpit!"
They are very likely plotting something, or hijacking the cockpit to take us somewhere else! All security personnel and fighters, please stop them immediately upon sight! I repeat! Stop them immediately!
"What the hell?"
Kazuma was stunned when he came down from upstairs. The next moment, he noticed that the security personnel on the ship were all looking at him with hostile eyes, and then... then they all found cover and hid on the spot.
It seems that the incident in the banquet hall had left a deep impression on everyone, and no one wanted to fight them.
Some people in the corridor also noticed something was wrong.
"what happened?"
Mr. Toyokawa looked grave, somewhat unsure of the current situation.
Upon hearing the announcement, the people in the corridor gasped in surprise.
"Damn it!"
Xiangzi gritted his teeth and dodged the gunfire.
Guarding the cockpit were another group of people whom we had never seen before, all of whom were carrying automatic weapons.
The enemy's defense was very simple: they would hold the entrance to the driver's cab, with the front row crouching down and the back row standing upright, forming two teams to hold their guns.
Moreover, they showed no intention of talking and opened fire the moment they saw them.
If they can't flip the ship's cabin, even a martial artist would be riddled with holes.
However, it was clear that Kerry and his men were not afraid of being riddled with bullets.
After confirming the situation, Kerry and Xiangzi exchanged a glance and charged forward as soon as the shooting ended and they were supposed to reload in batches.
"Da da da!"
A barrage of gunfire rang out, but it had no effect.
Amidst their horrified gazes, the flaming sword still reached them and cleaved them in two.
The reason why Kerry and his men could face an army single-handedly was not because they used their superior physical abilities to wage guerrilla warfare in the forest, but simply because they were virtually indestructible.
After dealing with the group blocking the door, the other side seemed to realize that if even the front line of defense could be breached, then no defense would be effective. Now, the two were facing the thick protective plate of the cockpit and the tightly locked hatch.
Upon their arrival, panicked shouts immediately came from the other side of the door through the sound transmission device in front of the door.
"You! Don't come in! We're the only ones left here who can steer this cruise ship!"
Even if you kill us, it won't do you any good! It might even cause a shipwreck and prevent us from returning to land!
It's full of sophisticated equipment; if you use a bomb, it could very well be damaged!
"I don't care what you're saying!" Kerry didn't bother listening to what they were saying, and raised his sword to forcefully stab it into the crack in the hatch.
The immense force and the scorching hot blade caused the sturdy door to deform slightly.
However, since it is made of special protective material, the door was not opened immediately.
Xiangzi, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward to help. She crouched down and crawled in front of Keli, her hair brushing against Keli's neck, her hands clasped together and pressed against the end of the sword hilt.
With both of them exerting force, the door finally succumbed to the swelling and was torn open with a crack.
With space to exert force, it became easier. Kerry swung his sword down, and because of the sharpness of this non-man-made sword, the steel lock on the door was instantly severed.
Inside the wheelhouse, several pilots sitting in front of the ship's computers watched in panic as the two men burst in.
He nervously raised his hand.
"You can't kill us! This ship needs us!"
"Return!"
