"What's wrong?"

"What's inside..."

People were talking in a little panic, and the crew's high decibel screams popped up again:

"Soul...soul clan--"

"The Soul Clan - on this ship!"

It was like a thunder exploding in the crowd, and the crowd became panicked in an instant.

"—Isn't this the great Yat? How could the Soul Clan get involved in the Imperial Future Hope??"

"The soul clan of the Att Empire is obviously almost extinct, why do they still..."

"It's over, it's over! There are still two days left before we reach the sea city. I don't know how many people will die during this period..."

After learning that the Soul Clan attacked people, the people who were originally singing and dancing changed their faces instantly, and joy disappeared from their faces. They were like a group of sheep who were afraid of natural enemies.

Su Mingan didn't know why these people were so scared. He just saw the system information introduction and was unable to understand the terribleness of the Soul Clan.

He approached the room where something was wrong and looked inside through the crack of the open door.

A faint smell of blood came from inside, and dark red blood oozed on the floor.

In the room, on the extremely uneven bed, there was a woman who was dying with her eyes open.

There were two small holes on the woman's neck, and a few drops of blood remained on it. Her face was blue and white, her eyes were dull, as if her soul had been pulled away.

However, the terrifying race that caused its death has disappeared.

...Is this the death of the person attacked by the soul clan?

It is said that the soul tribe feeds on human blood and soul, and this woman looks like she has her soul been drained.

Su Mingan didn't know whether the so-called soul clan would be his biggest enemy to pass the level perfectly, but judging from people's emotions, the soul clan seemed very terrifying.

"cold……"

From some point, Saya walked to him.

Her hands were tightly clutching his clothes, looking very scared.

"The Soul Clan actually intervened in the great Att..." There was a great panic in her eyes: "What should we do...?"

"Don't panic." Su Mingan said: "After a ten-day voyage, there are only dead people attacked by the Soul Clan, which means that there are not many soul clans involved in the Yat, and it is very likely that there is only one... so that TA cannot hide from the crew in the early stage and fight in concert, and it will not take action until the last moment... but I hope we will not get the death of others at the same time."

"..." Saya's eyelids drooped slightly: "Rin, I also hope there is only one. If the number increases, the number of casualties will increase even more..."

She looked at the woman's death and turned her head away: "If the soul tribe wants to survive, it must regularly prey on humans. Although they can temporarily suppress their appetite, as long as they open the attack, the number of victims will only increase in the next round..."

She continued, with some sadness in her voice:

"They... have the power to completely crush humans. Unless the soul hunters, ordinary humans cannot fight against them at all... Moreover, Lin, what I am more worried about is that this is the Att, the hope of the empire. Although there are great soul hunters on the ship, the soul hunters are good at disguising. If you don't catch them in one day, you will not be able to get peace on the ship for a day, and our ship of hope will be divided..."

She looked up and sighed softly in his ear:

"Rin... It seems that we must protect ourselves in the next two days."

After listening to her words, Su Mingan gradually learned about the importance of the Att Stone.

It is the only method that can accurately identify the soul clan, but the number is extremely rare. It can only be used to identify some people with suspicious identities.

Although those large number of civilians have also undergone strict review and are under special supervision, they have not been identified by the Att Stone, and there is also the possibility of infiltration into the Soul Clan.

The Att Stone is precious, important…and scarce.

Even Saya only had a small one in her hand.

Su Mingan didn't know why he, as a down-and-out noble, would also hold one.

The two were talking near the door, and suddenly they saw a group of people coming down from the cabin to check the identity of the people gathered in the hall.

People were forced to stop music, take off their masks, stand in a row and wait for inspection, like a group of prisoners waiting for interrogation.

Saya wanted to pull him into the crowd, but was caught instantly.

"……Miss?"

An old voice came from a row of interrogators in dark uniforms.

That was the old housekeeper who followed Saya before.

However, unlike before, he was wearing a transparent star on his chest and a black item like a sword bag behind his back - it was the exclusive outfit of the soul hunter.

He was staring at Saya, who was covered in gray on his body, with a serious expression.

"Grandpa Valen..." Saya was like a child who was caught doing bad things, and she was a little afraid to go out.

Valen's gloomy eyes moved to Su Ming'an's face, with a faint murderous intent in his eyes.

However, the murderous intent passed away in a flash. Soon he restrained the emotions in his eyes and extended his hand to Saya:

"Miss, don't come to such a chaotic place in the future. The voyage will end in two days. Stay in a safe place, with the attack of the Soul Clan Hunter, you won't have any trouble."

"Uh-huh……"

Saya responded timidly, returned to Valen and followed him away from here.

As he turned around, Valen's sharp knife-like eyes swept over Su Mingan again, as if warning him not to approach Saya again.

Su Mingan looked at him, but there was no fear on his face.

...It's really a plot of a poor boy and a noble girl breaking up a couple.

Although he felt that he was unlikely to be an ordinary poor boy, Saya was unlikely to be an ordinary noble girl.

He didn't care about Valen's gaze. In his opinion, Valen's strength was unlikely to surpass him.

In the current dungeon, except for encountering the existence of 9999 in the Fifth World Holy Creation, some big boss-level characters can basically not defeat him. He does not need to be afraid of some unreasonable npcs.

In his opinion, the key point of the current copy should be the Soul Clan...

Sure enough, as soon as he thought of this, a system message popped up.

"Ding Dong!"

[This copy is detected as an open world and will provide perfect customs clearance route assistance services.]

【Get perfect pass, heavenly line, main mission】

[Main Mission: Find the Truth (1/3): Find the attacker before the Yat arrives at the city of sea.]

[Task completion reward: Open the next link of the line and get the perfect key props for passing the level.]

【Perfect clearance progress: 10%】

...

After Saya and the old man left, Su Mingan did not wait to be there either.

The civilians around them exuded a smell of a combination of dust and fishy smell of sea. This smell was difficult to bear. I don’t know what the suffering those players possessed as civilians suffered.

He showed his identity certificate directly to the inspector and successfully returned to the fourth floor.

As he walked up the stairs and climbed to the rooftop on the fourth floor, he looked outside and suddenly discovered something.

It was already three o'clock in the morning and it was as quiet as death outside.

The bottomless darkness swallowed the giant ship sailing in the storm, and there was no one on the deck.

The heavy rain covered the window. He opened the window, covered his forehead with his hands, and looked into the distance.

The reason he did this was because he vaguely saw a special area.

……up in the air.

The blazing thunder split the dark world, revealing the resolute light, and he saw a black shadow floating in the air.

It seemed as if it appeared out of thin air, the dark shadow appeared like a huge and thick dark cloud, appearing in the snow-white thunder and lightning.

The dark shadow was extremely inconspicuous. If Su Ming had not been clear about the shadow state and tried his best to look at it, he would not have noticed that there was a shadow.

...City in the Clouds.

If he expected it would be a city of treasure floating in the air, a city of god floating above the city on the sea.

From this point of view, the City of Sea should be not far from the giant ship. Judging from this distance, you can arrive tomorrow.

...But why did the crew say the voyage is still two days?

Su Mingan felt a trace of conspiracy. He closed the window, shook off the water droplets from his hand, and walked to his door.

With a "click", the door opened.

He entered and walked straight to the bed with the last clue, which was a place he had not had time to see before.

He squatted down and saw a suitcase under the bed.

He turned out the box, searched carefully, and finally found an Ate Stone inside the clothes.

Compared to what he found in his wardrobe before, this Att Stone is bigger and brighter, like a treasure that can breathe independently. When he is held in his hand, he can even feel the unique energy flowing inside.

...How could it be?
