Chapter 174 You Are Not on the Invitation List
Lingshi pulled Atobe Keigo to a corner and pressed his hands hard on his shoulders.
"Is there anything special on this ship? Perhaps it's very old, or it appeared suddenly?"
Atobe Keigo: "Huh? No, the important antiques are kept in warehouses or displayed at home. Why would they be on a cruise ship?"
"Only the vases and paintings are worth anything. What do you want to do?"
Hearing what he said, it probably wasn't those things. It was more likely to be something foreign. Well, now he had no way to find it and could only rely on Saiki Kusuo.
After all, the system mall’s point deduction was too severe. He had just finished a battle and spent nearly a thousand points. He was not sure whether he would have to fight again later, so he could not let this affect his combat effectiveness.
Lingshi took out his phone and sent a message to Saiki Kusuo. He felt relieved when he got a reply from him. Then Lingshi said to Atobe Keigo again:
"There might be something on the ship. We've just dismantled your ship. Now we have to find it quickly, otherwise we'll have a Titanic remake."
Atobe Keigo: ...What are you talking about?
After hearing this, Atobe Keigo was stunned, but his clever brain was able to figure out the cause and effect. He frowned and said:
"Do you know where that thing is? Do you need me to send someone to search the ship? What exactly does it look like?"
Lingshi shook his head. He had no idea what it looked like, but Saiki Kusuo should be able to find it. After all, he had just heard the thoughts of the group of fish monsters and had a rough idea of what they were looking for.
"I don't know, but I've already asked them to look for it. Don't alert the enemy yet. Keep everyone steady and don't let anyone leave."
"Those kids sneaked out. Huang Quan has already gone to look for them, and I'm going to look for them too. Don't worry, let the professionals handle the professional matters. I guarantee you won't fall into the sea and drift."
Atobe Keigo: Now that you mention it, I'm actually starting to get worried.
What kind of enemy would be so serious? Unfortunately, he didn't bring many bodyguards with him this time, so they can't help much at the moment. He can only ensure that nothing happens to the people he invited to play.
After saying that, Lingshi turned around and ran away. Atobe Keigo returned to his previous position, and Oshitari and the others surrounded him to ask what happened.
Atobe Keigo shook his head and just said not to worry, he had already gone to solve the problem, and they just had to wait here and not go out and cause them trouble.
After all, they didn't know what kind of enemy they were, and a group of people couldn't help at all. The best decision was not to cause them trouble.
But Keigo Atobe really doesn't like this feeling of helplessness. After solving this problem, he will go to Lingshi and explain it clearly. What's the point of hiding something from him? He is not a useless loser who can't even do a single move.
As the president of the Jibu Group, he can solve any troubles the other side faces and use any means to do so as long as he wants to.
When we returned to Zero Hour, we had no direction at all. The system repeatedly asked whether we needed to turn on search navigation, but Zero Hour refused.
System: Woo woo woo, host, am I no longer your best right-hand man?
Zero Hour: We don’t need you right now, just wait for news from Kusuo.
As he was speaking, Saiki Kusuo received a telepathic message, saying good news, the item had been found, and the children had found it too.
Bad news, they are very close to something, and there are also unknown third-party creatures approaching.
Lingshi cursed and ran downstairs. These damn kids really knew how to hit the plot points. This adventure made them discover the truth.
On the other side, Huang Quan finally received Conan's message. Because the group of children were watching too closely, Conan had the opportunity to pass on the message at this time. Now he rushed over with Saiki Kusuo.
Conan had just sent the message and turned around to see that the group of children seemed to have discovered something and reached out to pick it up.
Ayumi: "Wow, it's so beautiful! Why is there such a beautiful conch here?"
"What, what? Let me see!"
Genta and Mitsuhiko leaned over to take a look with great interest, and were then surprised, and began to talk about its origins.
Conan also took a glance at it. It was indeed very beautiful. It was very likely that it was swept in by the propeller, but it was so complete and undamaged that it was more likely that someone had dropped it.
Conan said this casually, but was refuted by someone who insisted that this must be a treasure because they had never seen such a beautiful conch.
As they were talking, they didn't notice anyone approaching.
"Um, this is something I dropped, can you give it back to me?"
The sudden sound startled the children. When Conan turned around, he saw a beautiful woman standing there with a forced smile on her face.
Hearing the woman say that it was hers, Ayumi looked down at the conch. Genta stopped her and said:
"Do you have any evidence? This is the treasure we found."
Conan: "Genta, don't be like this, maybe she really lost it, let's ask her first."
Yuan Tai curled his lips, and Guang Yan immediately stood up and asked:
"If it's yours, can you tell me what it looked like and when you lost it?"
Hearing some discussion, the beautiful woman immediately perked up and described the conch's appearance. However, when she described when she lost it, the first part went smoothly but she got stuck at the latter part.
Conan looked at her suspiciously, but the three children did not doubt her after hearing what she said. They almost believed her and were ready to return the things to her.
A hand suddenly appeared and took the conch from Ayumi's hand. Lingshi looked at the conch and thought it was very beautiful.
Seeing that the situation had changed, the sudden appearance of Lingshi made the woman's face look obviously bad. Lingshi clenched the conch in her hand and drove the child behind her.
Although they were quite panicked after being caught by adults and sneaking out, Ayumi still asked:
"Uncle Lingshi, the conch belongs to that sister."
Lingshi: "Oh, I see. How come this lady's lost things ended up on our cruise ship? I don't think I invited you."
When they heard that this woman was not someone they knew and might have even sneaked on the boat, the children became scared and hid behind Lingshi.
This time, the people who came out were not only people he knew, but also friends from Keigo Atobe's side, so Conan didn't realize that this woman was an outsider.
The woman sighed and tried to explain.
"I have no ill intentions. I boarded the ship on purpose to find it. Please believe me."
At this time, Huang Quan and others also rushed over. Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw several children behind Ling Shi, then squatted down to check on them.
Huang Quan: "Are you guys okay?"
Several children shook their heads, and were immediately scolded by Huang Quan. Now the children were once again afraid of being caught sneaking away by adults.
Uncle Huang Quan is as scary as Uncle Lingshi, help!
Lingshi threw the conch to Saiki Kusuo. He had just asked the system to check it. It was an extraordinary thing.
System: Let me swallow it, hang it, we can earn a lot of points!
The system was ready to move, as if it wanted to pounce on its prey like a hungry tiger, so it threw Zero Hour to Saiki Kusuo without any courtesy, so as to avoid a scene of a weasel swallowing a conch raw.
I don’t know who the other party is, so I’d better not make her angry. I can’t let the system swallow the conch in front of her.
