I write obituaries for the gods

Li Zhanyi took out a small windmill, held it outside on the balcony, and began to measure the wind speed.

Lin Chen continued to browse through the information about the demigod group, the Fishman Boys, his brows furrowed slightly.

“I’ve discovered something,” Lin Chen said in a low voice, “This guy named Bacht… he’s the captain of the Fishman Boys, and he says he’s Triton’s biological son.”

"Hmm? Yes." Li Zhanyi turned her head.

"His ability is to manipulate wind and water, and according to him, these abilities were inherited from Triton."

Lin Chen recalled the scene when he met Triton on the beach on the day of the Whale Nest incident.

At that time, Triton controlled all the rainwater, keeping it suspended in the air, creating a phenomenon that seemed to freeze time.

You see, if he could only control the rain in a small area, he wouldn't be able to create such a magnificent sight—the water would pile up on top of the controlled area and then inevitably crash down all at once.

This means that Triton controlled the area of ​​water at that time, from the ground to the sky.

“Triton’s power is to control water and wind…” Lin Chen said softly, “But yesterday, in Lao Jiang’s description, tide Leina’s brother’s spiritual awareness was ‘blockade’.”

That crystal ball capable of containing anomalous entities was created by Xileina's brother.

“Yeah, how come I didn’t think of that?” Li Zhanyi murmured. “It’s not a good match.”

“But Triton did say that his sister is Xileina,” Lin Chen nodded. “Could it be that she has two brothers?”

"We'll ask Lao Jiang then," Li Zhanyi shrugged.

At this moment, the cruise ship sailed out of the estuary and into the East China Sea, where the surrounding deep blue became vast.

"Attention all units, Fishman Boy spotted." Louis's voice rang out.

Lin Chen picked up his phone and looked at the screen: a strangely shaped team of demigods appeared in the casino, causing a commotion among the people around them.

"Received, I'm starting to move," Jiang Zhengge said.

"As soon as they got close to international waters, they went straight to the casino," Lin Chen laughed. "How big of a bet are they planning to make?"

“They’re not betting money,” Jiang Zhengge’s voice came through. “These bastards love to bet on the bizarre and unusual things.”

"For example?" Li Zhanyi asked curiously.

"Young girls shouldn't know these things; it's not good for your thinking."

"Tch! I'm not a child anymore!"

"Rumble..."

A rumble of thunder came from the sky. Lin Chen looked up and saw that the clouds had begun to gather at some point, thick and obscuring the rising moon.

"Is it going to rain?" He frowned. "Louis, let me check, there wasn't supposed to be any rain tonight, right?"

“Abnormal weather fluctuations were detected, and there are signs of erosion,” Louis said. “I’ll get a comparison from headquarters.”

There was a silence of about half a minute in the voice channel, and soon Louis's voice came through:

"We compared the erosion characteristics with those from the whale nest that day and have identified the target."

"It's Triton, he's using his superpowers!"

......

Chapter 16 Turbulent Waters (Fifth Update)

As thunder roared, a torrential downpour swept in, pounding against the forward glass of the bridge.

"Sir, the weather bureau has issued a high-risk warning for thunderstorms," ​​a crew member said. "Should we consider turning back?"

"Um..."

The captain gazed out the window with a troubled expression, as if deep in thought.

Just then, his phone rang.

The captain glanced down at his phone and immediately gave the order:

"Change course and head towards the far southeast coast to avoid the thunderstorm clouds."

"Sir, are you sure you can bypass it?"

"Just do as I say!"

"Yes!"

In a corner of the bridge, Lucy, pretending to be busy, listened to their conversation.

“Be careful, the captain has been bribed,” Lucy whispered. “The course is being changed temporarily, they may be about to make their move.”

"Lin Chen, Zhan Yi, keep an eye on the open sea and watch out for any suspicious flying objects," Jiang Zhengge pressed his earpiece, "whether they are leaving the ship or approaching it."

"Received," Lin Chen said.

“Oswald, keep an eye on the restaurant. The fishmen have booked a table there tonight, they'll be there soon.”

"Ah."

“I am entering the casino.”

Jiang Zhengge pushed open the casino door and stepped into a colorful world.

Various arcade games rang in his ears, emitting the enticing sound of coins dropping.

Jiang Zhengge moved through the casino discreetly, and soon he found the fish-men.

In fact, it was incredibly difficult not to find them: the murlocs were yelling like madmen around the gambling table.

"Oh, sir, you've lost everything! You've lost everything!" Innsmouth, with his large fish head, grabbed the burly man across the table. "You're coming back to my room with me tonight...hehehe..."

“We’ll let you enjoy a wonderful time…” The octopus-man’s tentacles rubbed against the gambling table.

"..." Jiang Zhengge pinched his nose, hoping he would arrive later and not have overheard what they had just said.

“They’re leaving the casino,” Jiang Zhengge said softly. “Wait…did they split up?”

The octopus-man carried away the burly man who had lost all his underwear, while the fish-headed man Innsmouth and the swordfish headed towards the exit together.

As for the usually taciturn captain Bachter... he disappeared through the back door.

“Something’s not right. They’ve split up. It’s a counter-surveillance tactic,” Jiang Zhengge pressed his earpiece. “Louis, track down the fish-headed man. I’ll go after Bacht.”

"Got it. Ignore the octopus man?"

"He's going to... never mind, anyway, keep an eye on the fish-headed man."

After saying that, Jiang Zhengge quickly walked towards the back door where Bacht had disappeared.

"..."

Inside the room, Li Zhanyi took out his QBU-202 and set it up on the balcony.

Nearby, Lin Chen was changing his equipment. He put on a rechargeable bulletproof vest over his vest, then put on a trench coat and hung the shotgun inside the coat.

"Looks like they anticipated our arrival," Lin Chen said, examining the superalloy hand axe. "Tonight's not going to be peaceful..."

He took a subspace lens out of his briefcase and tossed it to Li Zhanyi.

"I'm going to assist Section Chief Jiang in his operation. The task of marking Triton is now in your hands," Lin Chen said.

“No problem,” Li Zhanyi said.

Lin Chen checked the equipment again, then pushed open the door—

Wow, what a huge restaurant!

When the restaurant door opened, Liti and Huihui's eyes lit up.

At that moment, the principal was leading the children into the Western restaurant, where they sat down at one table after another.

“This is the same restaurant Dad took us to,” Litty said, pointing at the menu with a serious expression. “I’ll order.”

"Then let Little Litty order! After all, she's one of our top students," the principal said cheerfully.

He beckoned a waiter over and pointed at Litty:

"Let the child choose; whatever she says, we'll do!"

"Little one, what would you like to eat?" Oswald asked Litty gently.

"I want to eat this giant lobster!"

"..."

“Watch out, Innsmouth and Swordfish are entering the restaurant,” Louis’s voice came through. “Let me see… oh no…”

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen, who was walking quickly down the corridor, pressed his earpiece.

“Your two little girls are also in the restaurant, and Oswald is serving them food.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

What did those two mermen do?

"They haven't done anything yet, they're just casually ordering food."

"I'll move closer right now," Lin Chen said softly.

On one hand, he needed to keep an eye on the two fishmen and monitor their movements.

On the other hand... Lin Chen was afraid that if he were exposed, the two girls would be taken hostage.

He pressed the elevator button, opened the door, and went inside.

"Ding!"

Jiang Zhengge stepped out of the freight elevator and looked around.

Just now, Bacht took the freight elevator directly to the upper deck.

At this moment, torrential rain pounded on the deck, and the outdoor swimming pool and other recreational facilities were completely empty, as most of the tourists had gone inside the ship to take shelter from the rain.

Jiang Zhengge looked into the distance and saw Bacht's figure disappearing at the bow of the ship.

He drew his RSH-12 revolver, checked the bullets, and then walked into the rain.

"Crash..."

After walking to the bow of the ship, Jiang Zhengge heard the sound of footsteps on iron. Looking up, he saw a pair of boots disappear at the edge of the iron ladder.

He climbed up with them and arrived at the top of the lookout tower at the bow of the ship.

As he peered out from the edge of the watchtower, a thunderclap ripped through the sky—

"Boom!"

The watchtower was deserted, and the torrential rain lashed against the iron railings, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Zhengge walked up to the lookout tower, leaned on the edge, and looked down at the deck below, but still couldn't see anything.

"They ran away?" Jiang Zhengge muttered.

"Boom!"

Another thunderclap flashed, turning the sky and sea silvery white.

Jiang Zhengge turned around and saw a tall figure standing behind him.

He wore a top hat, his dark blue overcoat billowing in the downpour, and his deep blue eyes gleamed with a fierce light in the rainy night.

It is Triton.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had this opportunity to be alone, Lao Jiang,” Triton said casually.

Jiang Zhengge raised his pistol, aimed at his chest, and pulled the trigger:

"boom!"

The sound of whales echoed through the rain, and a dark blue bullet struck Triton in the chest, blasting a burning hole in his lining.

Beneath that cavity, the hard, cyan scales were shimmering with blue light: all the energy of the Whale's Roar Explosion had been absorbed!

Watching this scene, Jiang Zhengge narrowed his eyes slightly.

“This is Balenciaga haute couture,” Triton patted his chest, “your shot cost both of us tens of thousands…”

"Someone tipped you off?" Jiang Zhengge's mind flashed with tide Leina's face.

“Inform? Who’s so kind as to betray us?” Triton smiled. “Ah… some of you do like to sell us little secrets, but it’s not him today.”

"It's simply..."
