Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“Almost there. ”

The cruise ship in the distance was approaching, and Abraham let go of the telescope in his hand, and a little excitement began to flare up in his heart.

After nearly half an hour of pursuit, the cat and mouse game finally came to an end. Slightly later than expected, but not too late, this cruise ship, designed for pleasure, is unlikely to make it past the "Osseberg” at their feet in any case.

Left the binoculars in the hands of his deputy, Abraham removed the AK from his body and pulled the bolt with a click.

“Brothers.”

“Our enemies are in sight. ”

“For the honor of the tribe, for endless wealth, for…”

With his eyes squeezed into a stitch, facing the dazzling sun, Abraham always felt what he saw, but couldn't see clearly.

Finally, in the stretched light, he saw three burning flames.

“… what is that? ”

Not only did he see it, but another young man standing on the deck looked up to him and saw the anomaly hidden in the sun as well.

But when they glanced at the flaming moment, it was too late.

No one responded.

The Fire of Punishment from the sky did not give them any time to react.

With a blast coming from the sky, a huge tremor came along the deck and almost everyone fell upside down on the ground.

The whole cargo ship is like being hit by something, and the whole hull is tilted to the side.

At the same time, after the outburst from the rising sky, the rolling smoke finally descended from the sky, covering large areas of the sea like mist, swallowing the entire cargo ship.

The people on the boat coughed and struggled to climb up from the ground, yet the pungent smoke drained them out of tears and snot, causing all of their hearing and vision to go into chaos.

Abraham curled himself to the ground with his eyes wide open and frightened. He saw a group of soldiers dressed in pitch-black exoskeletons, drilling out of a pristine metal box, spraying a clean, falling spark in his hand, but only for a short breath, his men had been killed most of the time.

Apart from a few sporadic AK gunshots, the vast majority of people fell into the bloodstream without even a chance to resist.

“Monster...”

The throat was like a branded iron, the sound of Abraham's dry, dull voice squeezing out such a sentence.

Apart from monsters, he could never think of a proper word to describe these soldiers who descended from the sky.

The fog of the stinging nose was as if it did not exist for them.

Fear had destroyed his psychological defense, and he threw his weapon away, pulled his hands off the railing and blended into the hostages chained to the railing.

It appears that he was not considered a threat, and the mechanized soldier, as if he had not been seen, only punished those armed elements who still held weapons for death.

This did not, however, give him a greater sense of security.

Under that enormous fear, he finally straddled his heart, withstood the burning sensation of mucosa and eyeballs, opened his eyes and touched the lifejacket in his hand, untied the rope and put it over his body, then jumped into the sea.

The gunfire grew farther away.

The thick fog and the bloody smell were finally dispersed by the sea breeze.

Sporadic flashes of fire can still be seen on the deck, as well as screams from his former comrades. But it didn't give him that humble sense of morality in his heart, creating any slight guilt, and he waved his arms with all his strength, just to get further away from the ship.

There is no doubt that this operation has failed…

……

Arctic Light Cruise.

The lowest compartment.

Normally, cruise ship staff are present here, and regular passengers are not allowed in here. This time, however, the situation was somewhat peculiar, with the vast majority of people, including cruise crew, taking refuge in restaurants or wandering around on negative levels one or two.

So, people who stay in this area at this time, their motives are worth playing with.

Wang Peng did not consider so many things. He followed the map on his phone and went straight to the hiding place of the walker. After confirming that they were in possession of weapons, he would no longer consider hurting innocents.

When the last target fell into the bloodstream, the gunfire finally stopped.

Watching the last person who had died of the bullet, Wang Peng frowned and took a careful look around, confirming that there were no traps before crossing the bloodstain and walking next to the person.

After kicking the weapon in the man's hand to one side, Wang Peng squatted down and pressed his index finger against his neck. After confirming that there were no signs of life, he grabbed it with his left hand in glove.

No sealed tissue?

Keep it for now and don't say anything valuable about it.

Makeup mirrors?

Why would a man bring such a thing?

At this moment, the left hand in the exploration suddenly touched a hard textured object. Wang Peng's heart moved slightly and took it out of the person's arms.

That's a bloody notebook, kind of like a mission briefing or something.

However, after he flipped the notebook, Wang Peng was stunned there.

This is not a mission briefing at all.

And...

Similar to English, he seems to have seen it somewhere...

……

Cabin B2771.

Next to the porthole.

The little girl lying on the side of the starboard window clutched her toes together against the glass, reluctantly sticking her nose in the glass.

“Amazing...”

Her pupils flashed with excitement, watching the flame from the sky hit the “pirate ship", Princess Lillian couldn't help but scream well.

From her point of view, the view is quite different from that of Abraham's eyes.

All she could see was a fire coming down from the sky -- well, maybe three, just because it was so fast, and her memory was a little blurred.

Anyway, when the “pirate ship" was hit by a flame from the sky, it was left behind by the fog until it was invisible.

And the brutal purgatory in the fire was swallowed up by the fog.

She has never seen such magic in her life!

No, it's not magic anymore. It's just magic in fairy tales!

Excited to clap his hands, Lillian saw the canoe standing next to him, releasing a hand and pulling his sleeve, excited to say nothing.

“Awesome! What is that, magic? ”

He glanced at the distant freighter, and the ark smiled slightly.

“Kind of. ”

In a sense, science beyond common sense is not really much different from magic.

Green gemstone pupils flashed with fairy-tale light, and the little girl opened her eyes and looked at a canoe several heads taller than him and said with anticipation.

“Oh, Dear Scholar, Looks like you saved me...”

“… so you are my prince? ”

Just as the clouds and winds looked lightly at the canoe with the flames coming out of the side windows, it almost didn't choke because of these two premature statements.

He coughed twice violently, raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, trying to make himself look less lukewarm, then said in a patient tone.

“I'm afraid Her Royal Highness is mistaken. I'm afraid I can be your court magician at all ages. ”

“Dry tofu? ”

She must be talking about Gandalf, right?

Or which magician appeared in a fairy tale book that was popular in Sweden.

“Pretty much… Anyway, it's better to have someone your own age say something similar. ”

Lillian's expression wasn't much disappointment when she heard the ark, but her old anger sighed in the autumn.

“They are all too boring to spend much energy on some boring things, even reluctant to finish a book... Forget it, you are also an ambitious man. ”

Ark: “…”

Though knowing that the little guy was mostly just playing with his own hands, somehow, he suddenly felt that the tone of the conversation was really a little beat-up.

If his child...

Well, somehow, he suddenly kind of wants a daughter.

That's when the footsteps came out of the door.

I've seen who's outside from the surveillance, and the ark looks at the direction of the door and shouts a finger, indicating that Ai unlocked the electronic lock on the door.

Push the door inward.

Looking at Wang Peng who appeared at the door, the ark left the side of the starboard window and asked openly.

“Already solved? ”

Wang Peng nodded and said a cruel thing in his usual chatty tone.

“Eight in all. I killed seven. ”

Ark: “Where's the other one? ”

“Suicide. ”

“Suicide? ”

The bow's eyebrows picked gently and an unexpected look appeared on his face.

Suicide isn't something pirates can do.

Generally speaking, a person may only choose to end his or her life in two situations. One is the total loss of hope, and the other is for loyalty, faith or something like that.

The former obviously does not.

Few soldiers from civilized countries will continue to attack those who surrender.

In that case, it could only be for the latter.

What was read in the eyes of the Ark, Wang Peng's eyes flashed a little hesitation, but after thinking about it, he said openly.

“I found something on the deceased, or a clue… Actually, I shouldn't have told you that these dirty jobs should have been handled by us. But I think it might interest you. ”

The curiosity grew stronger in his eyes, and the ark immediately asked, "What did you find? ”

Removed a plastic bag from her arms containing a bloody palm-sized notebook.

Looking at the ark that revealed confusion in his eyes, Wang Peng continued.

“Maybe it's just a coincidence...”

“But you may have some impression of what's in this note. ”
