The man in black immediately shut his mouth and stopped asking questions.
Before long, the guide led the man in black to a luxurious cruise ship. At the boarding gate, the ship's guards stopped the two of them.
"Wait, you two, what are you doing?"
The guide immediately smiled and said, "A guest on the ship has ordered candied hawthorns. We are here to deliver them onto the ship. Here is the order and boarding permission."
The guide handed a note to the guard, who glanced at it and then let the two pass.
"Okay, you can go up now."
The man in black followed the guide onto the luxury cruise ship, still completely bewildered.
After boarding, the guide did not head towards the passenger cabin, but instead led the man in black directly into the cabin and down to the lower deck.
After wandering around for a while, the two stopped in a dead end at the bottom of a cabin. At the end of the dead end was a wooden door. The guide walked over and knocked lightly on the wooden door a few times. Then a voice came from inside the wooden door.
"who?"
"Delivering candied hawthorns."
At this moment, a small opening appeared in the vent on the wooden door, revealing a pair of wary eyes.
The guide stepped aside, revealing the man in black behind him.
The eyes inside the door glanced at the man in black, then the air vent closed. Two seconds later, the wooden door opened, and a burly, bald man in a vest bent over and walked out.
"I didn't expect you to be so quick these past few days. This is the second to last batch; just one more to go. Hurry up."
The guide said, "Okay."
"I've handed the person over to you. You can go now."
The guide nodded, turned and left. Before the man in black could speak, the burly man shoved him through the wooden door, which then slammed shut with a bang.
Upon entering the room, the man in black was surprised to discover that the bottom of the luxury cruise ship's cabin was such a large space, but what shocked him even more was yet to come.
In the vast space at the bottom of the ship's cabin, two rows of iron cages were neatly arranged on the left and right sides. At this moment, at least a dozen people were locked in the iron cages on both sides. All of them were lying in front of the iron cages, looking at the man in black with despair.
Just as the man in black was in shock, the bald, burly man behind him grabbed a wooden stick from the side and brought it down on the back of the man's head. However, the man in black suddenly turned his head and lay down on the ground, narrowly avoiding the blow.
Just as the bald, burly man was about to finish him off, he saw the man in black lying on the ground, begging for mercy with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Big brother, please let me go. I want to live. I understand the situation. If you put me in a cage, I will definitely not resist and I won't scream."
The bald, burly man paused for a moment, then put down the wooden stick in his hand and chuckled disdainfully, "You're quite interesting, you know what's good for you, which saves me the trouble. There's an empty cage over there, go in yourself."
"Okay, bro."
The man in black got up and immediately ran to the empty cage, crawled inside, and even closed the door behind him.
After confirming that the lock on the iron cage was indeed closed, the bald, burly man snorted coldly, turned around, walked to a recliner not far away, lay down on it, and began to take a nap.
Seeing that the bald, burly man had closed his eyes, the man in black got up and walked to the cage next to him. In the next cage was a young woman.
"Girl, girl..."
Upon hearing the man in black call softly, the young woman in the next cage, who was curled up in the corner with her legs drawn up, slowly raised her head, revealing her face covered in bruises.
Upon seeing the woman's appearance, the man in black was immediately startled and frowned, asking, "Miss, what's the injury on your face?"
"What else could it be..."
The woman's eyes were vacant, filled with despair, and she spoke weakly.
"Beatings were given for resisting..."
The man in black frowned. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that not only her face, but also the woman's exposed skin, including her arms, ankles, and neck, had obvious bruises and injuries. Shocked, he glanced around at the other people in the cages and realized that everyone else was in a similar situation to the woman before him.
The man in black narrowed his eyes and said, "Is everyone here like this?"
"Yes, they're all the same..."
Why didn't you call for help?
"It's no use. This is the lowest level of the ship; nobody can hear us. Besides, if we scream, we'll get beaten badly. Nobody dares to scream anymore..."
"Those bastards."
The man in black narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, young lady, you will all be able to escape."
"Escape?"
The woman shook her head in despair: "How can I escape? I only blame myself for being greedy and wanting to make a lot of money, which led me to believe those rumors that joining a cult would make my dreams come true..."
"No." The man in black shook his head firmly. "We can definitely escape. Trust me."
The woman looked at the man in black with some confusion, not understanding why he was so certain that they could escape.
Just then, there was a knock on the wooden door, and the bald, burly man lying on the recliner was instantly awakened.
The bald, burly man grabbed a stick from the side, tiptoed to the wooden door, and asked warily, "Who goes there?"
The guide's voice came from outside the door.
"I......"
Upon hearing the guide's voice, the bald, burly man lowered his guard.
"What happened? Why are you back again?"
As the bald, burly man spoke, he opened the wooden door. However, just as the door was slightly ajar, a dark shadow suddenly crashed through the door and flew in.
Startled, the bald, burly man dodged the dark figure, which then slammed heavily against the bulkhead with a scream.
Only then did the bald, burly man realize that the dark figure who had crashed through the wooden door and flown in was none other than the guide, who was bound hand and foot.
The next second, a beautiful figure in purple, holding a long sword, entered the cabin, followed by dozens of soldiers in Qianyan Army uniforms, armed with weapons.
Upon seeing the purple figure before him, the bald, burly man's eyelids twitched violently.
"Yuheng Star!"
"Humph."
Ke Qing snorted coldly: "It's really unexpected that a rat's hole would be hidden in a place like this."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bald giant roared and two balls of blue light gathered in his palms, forming two large, ice-blue hammers.
Keqing raised an eyebrow and said, "Water elemental power? So you're also a holder of the Eye of God."
After saying that, Ke Qing stopped wasting words and instantly drew her sword, charging towards the bald, burly man.
Inside the cage, the young woman was completely dumbfounded as she watched the Thousand Rock Army suddenly rush in.
At that moment, the black-clad man in the cage next to her began to glow with the light of the rock element. He then smashed the lock on the iron cage door with a punch and charged towards the bald giant along with the other members of the Thousand Rock Army.
The woman swallowed.
At that moment, the man's words, "You will definitely escape," seemed to echo in his ears again.
At that moment, she finally understood why the other person had been so confident when they said those words...
Chapter 392 Arrest
"Behave yourself and don't move."
At the bottom of the ship's cabin, the bald, burly man and the guide were bound hand and foot and thrown onto the open ground in the middle. Both of them were bruised and battered, with hardly a clean spot on their bodies.
Ke Qing, with her sword at her waist, looked at the two indifferently, while the other Thousand Rock Army soldiers around her were rescuing people trapped in iron cages.
The bald, burly man raised his two swollen, bubble-like eyes and glanced at Ke Qing, his gaze filled with intense fear. Then, he shuddered.
When they first started fighting, it wasn't even a group attack. The others didn't even have a chance to make a move. The bald, big man was knocked to the ground by Keqing in just two moves, without even a chance to fight back.
Seeing the bald, burly man trembling, the man in black who had been acting the whole way kicked him and said coldly, "Even scum like you has moments of fear?"
"Wutong".
Ke Qing called out to the man in black.
"exist."
Ke Qing said, "Your performance as an undercover agent this time was good. It seems you learned well in the special forces training camp."
Wutong chuckled twice.
The special training camp that Keqing mentioned is a warrior training camp jointly launched by China and Liyue. This training camp aims to cultivate talents in criminal investigation, special operations and other fields. Each term lasts three months. Wutong is one of the first batch of students to graduate after being sent to the training camp by Liyue. In addition, he is a holder of the Geo Vision and is now a core member of the Thousand Rock Army's special emergency response team.
"Go help rescue people, there's nothing else going on here for now."
"Yes."
Wutong gave Qianyan a military salute and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something after taking two steps. He walked back to the guide, took out the bag of Mora he had given him in the alley, and before leaving, he slapped the man on the back of the head, making him howl in pain.
"Damn it, if it weren't for wiping you all out in one fell swoop, would I need to act like a grandson in front of scum like you?"
After saying that, Wutong spat and left, while Keqing pretended not to see anything.
After all, if it weren't for her own status, Ke Qing would have liked to slap those two human traffickers in front of her.
Ke Qing coughed twice, looked at the two of them, and asked coldly, "You two, do you have anything to say?"
The guide grinned and said tremblingly, "Lord Yuheng Star... what... what are you referring to as an explanation?"
"Oh?"
Ke Qing raised an eyebrow: "Playing dumb with me?"
As she spoke, Keqing slowly squatted down in front of the two of them, raised her finger, and purple lightning swirled around her fingertip, emitting a chilling light.
"What is this so-called sect that you use as an excuse for human trafficking?"
The guide swallowed hard.
"M-Sir...I don't know what you're talking about..."
"do not know?"
Ke Qing snorted coldly: "Do you not know or are you unwilling to tell me? It seems I have to help you recall."
As she spoke, the lightning from Keqing's fingertips instantly pierced into the guide's body. The guide's eyes immediately rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, his body convulsing.
The bald, burly man standing nearby was sweating profusely as he watched this scene.
Ke Qing looked up at the bald, burly man and said, "Don't worry, your accomplice isn't dead; he just fainted from unbearable pain. Do you remember the things he can't remember?"
