Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The submarine’s pipeline is connected to a pool, which, besides the entrance and exit via ladders, serves as a second entrance and exit.

Here, the submarine’s staff checks the tickets of those boarding afterwards and issues wristbands; they also handle the collection of tickets and wristbands for those wishing to disembark, and see them off the ship.

A large number of fishmen emerged from the pool, and the ticket inspector routinely stepped forward to check tickets and handed out the wristbands to everyone present, instructing them to put them on.

A few fishmen, with helpless expressions, began to converse with the ticket inspector.

They told the ticket inspector that this was their first time on the submarine, and they weren’t aware of the rules, never expecting that they would have to wear something resembling a shackle to board.

In their culture, shackles are considered to be extremely heavy items, and wearing shackles is tantamount to committing a heinous crime.

In order to stay away from that heinous sin, they wished not to wear this shackle and hoped the ticket inspector could find another way to bind them.

This request from the fishmen left the ticket inspector in a difficult position.

According to company policy, if one doesn’t wear the wristband, they cannot board the submarine.

Previous passengers always cooperated by wearing the wristbands; this was the first time the ticket inspector encountered a situation where cultural customs made someone unwilling to wear the wristband.

After pondering for a moment, the ticket inspector decided to first contact the Captain to seek his opinion.

The ticket inspector turned around, intending to use the Crystal Ball to contact the Captain.

At this moment, a sharp spur silently pierced through his arm.

The ticket inspector let out a painful wail, as his hand instantly dropped, losing all feeling.

Realizing something was wrong, the security guards by the pool quickly sprang into action. Some attempted to capture the few assailants, while others tried to press the emergency button to notify the Captain.

However, these fishmen acted with incredible speed, and in no time, they pierced the bodies of the security guards one by one with various Poison Stingers, rendering them immobile.

Several large bubbles rose from the pool’s passageway, as Spiny Scale Lizards crawled out of the pool, the bubbles clinging to them gradually disappearing to reveal their spiny scales.

”Well done,” the one-eyed Chongdu generously lavished his praise, ”truly worthy of the elite acquired from that lord’s hand. We’ve successfully completed the first step, and next...”

Chongdu bent down, grabbed the ticket inspector’s head, and pressed it onto the cold ground, coldly interrogating:

”How do we get to the Captain’s cabin? Tell us.

If you don’t answer, or give us the wrong directions, you should be well aware of the consequences, right?

Your abilities are decent, but nowhere near my level.

I can easily crush your little head into pieces.”

The ticket inspector painfully raised his still slightly mobile right hand and pointed inward towards the door.

Chongdu turned to the fishman who had shot the Poison Stinger at the ticket inspector and said, ”Detoxify him, let him lead the way for us.”

The fishman obeyed Chongdu’s order and detoxified the ticket inspector.

Chongdu picked up the ticket inspector and began to head in the direction he pointed.

As for the security guards who fell by the pool, after the fishmen injected them with an excess of toxins, they disdainfully threw them into the pool along with the wristbands.

For safety’s sake, the fishmen, before catching up with Chongdu, made sure to finish off the security guards in the pool.

Once the pool turned completely crimson, only then did the fishmen contentedly follow Chongdu’s steps.

The submarine’s structure is incredibly complex, making it easy for someone to get lost if they wander aimlessly.

For the safety of the submarine, there are Surveillance Magic devices throughout the hull, and the personnel responsible for monitoring should soon discover the fact that the submarine has been breached.

However, perhaps because there hadn’t been any significant hijacking incidents for a long time, the personnel responsible for the submarine had become slightly complacent.

”Anyway, if someone invades, the security guards by the pool should be enough to handle it,” harboring this kind of lucky mindset, the monitoring personnel often passed the boring surveillance time by doing their own things and playing together, failing to notice the Spiny Scale Lizards’ intrusion in the first instance.

By the time someone noticed the anomaly by the pool, it was already too late, and the intruders had already covered half the distance.

After some hesitation, the monitoring personnel finally sounded the alarm, informing the Captain of everything that happened by the pool.

The ear-piercing alarm sounded, and Chongdu lifted his head, asking the ticket inspector:

”What on earth is this sound? Answer me.”

Chongdu applied a little pressure with his hand, causing the ticket inspector immense pain, and he replied:

”This is the alarm sound; your intrusion has been detected.

This ship has many places with Surveillance Magic; I took you on some detours to avoid some inconspicuous monitoring.

But... we were still discovered.”

In order to survive, the ticket inspector had to exaggerate his ”achievements.”

Chongdu clicked his tongue, then barked, ”Time is tight, don’t worry about surveillance or not, just tell me the shortest route to the Captain’s cabin, hurry up!”

Enduring the pain from the top of his head, the ticket inspector quickly replied, ”I understand, I understand. Don’t apply more pressure, my head is about to split.”

After putting the ticket inspector on the ground, Chongdu looked at his subordinates behind him and said, ”Everyone, follow this kid’s pace.

Kid, let me forewarn you, don’t think of playing any tricks.

If you dare to play tricks, the next second, my hand will pierce through you.

I’ll skin you alive, rip out your tendons.”

With his feet on the ground, the ticket inspector broke out in a cold sweat, his legs trembling, unable to move.

Chongdu extended his hand and casually crushed a water pipe, scaring the ticket inspector into quickly moving, continuing to lead the intruders deep into the submarine.

The alarm on the ship also reached the observation area, leaving the people in the observation area looking at each other in disbelief, unable to believe that they were encountering a hijacking incident that only occurred once a year, leaving them at a loss for what to do.

Some people wanted to find the Captain for protection; others relied on the experts on board to swiftly resolve the situation; some wanted to return to their rooms to hide...

Luo Luosi furrowed his brow, put the straw back in his cup, and murmured to himself:

”Quite unlucky indeed.

I’ve been on this submarine for so many years and only encountered a hijacking twice.

There must be a jinx on this ship.”

Yang Yu raised his wrist with the wristband, ”What should we do now?”

”The best course of action is to not act rashly and only take action if necessary.”

Luo Luosi hovered onto the table on his Shell,

”This observation area has another purpose.

If necessary, the Captain can stop the submarine and then take refuge in this observation area.

It’s very spacious here, making it extremely suitable for battle without damaging any of the ship’s equipment.

During the last hijacking, they lured people here and then took them all out at once.”
