A few days later.
On a cargo ship sailing out of Neptune City, in the dirty and dark bottom cabin, dozens of small figures with childish faces were crowded together with various cargoes, constantly colliding with wooden boxes as the hull rocked.
In the darkness, pairs of bright eyes swayed like fireflies against the dim light.
"Almost there."
The speaker was a strange girl with antelope horns on her head.
Luo Jingling was staring at the satellite watch on her wrist, which displayed the real-time longitude and latitude of the freighter. The coordinate error was within 3 meters.
After hearing her words, this group of alien children of different ages and races cheered up.
They quickly lined up and stood in front of a certain passage leading to the deck. One grabbed the other's shirt and stared nervously at the hatch ahead.
Bang bang, bang bang.
The sea water slapped against the bulkhead of the ship, making a muffled sound like a leather drum.
"Do we really want to jump? This is the vast sea..." A little boy's voice trembled, "Jump out, if no one responds, everyone will be dead!"
"You don't believe Sister Ghost Sword?" another voice asked.
"Letter..." The little boy who spoke in front gritted his teeth.
"Then let's end it. That hunter brother is the person entrusted by Sister Guidao personally. I believe he will not harm us."
"Hush, we're here! Go fast!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout. It turned out to be Luo Jingling, who was standing at the head of the team. He took action decisively, twisted and pushed, and opened the hatch to the deck!
Under the night, a group of agile little guys swarmed out.
Coming to the deck, there is the ship's side next to it. This medium-sized freighter has a very deep draft, so the deck is not far from the water.
One person took the lead, and soon dozens of alien children jumped into the sea one after another like dumplings!
The people on the freighter didn't seem to notice that the freighter, which maintained its original speed, quickly moved away.
"Chichi."
Amidst the sound of automatic inflation, life jackets inflated on every little stranger.
This also made everyone float quickly.
"The sea water is so cold." The little boy who just spoke shivered. He was a tiger-headed little guy with a king's hair on his forehead.
"Everyone save your energy and wait with peace of mind. Someone will definitely come to help." On the other side, Luo Jingling was also floating on the water, her face was also pale, but she still managed to remain calm.
She is not the oldest among these alien children, but her experience is almost the most tragic!
Therefore, his mind is obviously more mature than other children, and he already has a bit of a leader's demeanor.
Of course, because of race and language, this group of alien children were also divided into several small groups. Luo Jingling was just the leader among the children who spoke the Chinese language.
"Yes, let's wait."
A group of little figures just floated on the sea...
As time passed by, everyone's expressions gradually became uncertain, and fear and panic appeared on everyone's faces.
There is a life jacket, but it’s useless! Just soaking in the cold sea water like this will cause you to die of hypothermia over time.
You also have to pray not to encounter the legendary undead monster floating on the sea.
As their hands and feet gradually became colder, the children's mood also cooled down. Half an hour later... some of the younger ones even cried.
Emotions are contagious.
One person crying quickly caused more children to collapse, and it was useless no matter how many leaders stopped him!
at this time.
Suddenly, a dazzling light lit up on the distant sea.
A ray of light quickly divided into two and then four. As it got closer, everyone could see clearly who was coming.
Those were clearly three giant crab-shaped submersibles.
"Here he comes! The person who will guide us is here!" Luo Jingling shouted in surprise.
————
ten minutes later.
All the alien children entered the crab-shaped submersible. This crab-shaped submersible can accommodate thirty adults at a full load, and even more children.
Inside the crab-shaped submersible, there were unsmiling male and female staff who carefully searched each child, scanned their bodies with instruments, and put the children into special clothes.
Everything they originally brought with them was discarded.
Including the satellite watch Luo Jingling wore on her wrist.
After doing all this, the three crab-shaped submersibles began to dive, diving to the deepest seabed in one breath, and then moved close to the seafloor, passing through various canyons, tunnels and other complex terrains along the way.
And all this caution... is naturally to prevent anyone from tracking him down.
Because the three submersibles came from the Crystal Palace.
It was arranged by Lupine.
He had promised to help take care of these alien children, so when he went to Neptune City last time, Luping had already arranged the children's evacuation plan, including which freighter to take and the agreement to jump off the ship. latitude and longitude coordinates.
The original plan was that Lupine would also leave Neptune City by boat with the children.
But Lu Ping never expected that he would be personally targeted by God Lord Plass and be hunted down by the prince and many God Lords! At that time, he was forced to flee from Neptune City in a hurry, and finally used Aplodi to get rid of the prince's pursuit. Naturally, he couldn't take care of these little guys.
Lu Ping is still frightened by the billowing black clouds in Neptune City that day, and the countless God Lord's familiars and demons. So now he no longer wants to have anything to do with Neptune City. He even chose a location far away from Neptune City for the new location of the Crystal Palace. , closer to the east coastline of the Eurasian continent and the seabed near the former Huaxia Kingdom.
But after much thought, he still couldn't make the cruel decision to stop taking care of these children.
Because if they don't respond, the children will probably die on the sea after jumping off the ship at the agreed time and place, and their trip to sea was arranged by themselves!
After all, Lu Ping was not as hard-hearted as iron, so he still arranged for someone to come to pick him up. However, the whole pick-up process was to be cautious.
He only sent his men here, but did not show up himself, and discarded all the children's belongings. These were all to cut off some possible tracking. After all, the methods of the God Lords were mysterious and unpredictable.
The submersible travels on the seabed to block signal connections with the outside world.
After two days and three nights of twists and turns, the three crab-shaped submersibles finally arrived at the new location of the Crystal Palace.
————
In the council hall.
Lu Xuejiang received the children kindly, while Lu Ping observed secretly.
He... was not present at the scene, and the so-called observation was only through virtual live broadcast.
Lu Ping saw that Lu Xuejiang chatted with several leaders among the children, and even touched Luo Jingling's little head.
But the next second after he finished this action, the projection in front of Lu Ping suddenly flashed!
Immediately afterwards, an unexpected figure appeared on the projection interface.
"Ghost Blade?" Lu Ping looked at the projection in front of him in shock, "You're not dead?!"
Isn't this image of a virtual girl in overalls and overalls one of the familiar images of Ghost Saber Princess that I'm familiar with?
But the next second, his eyebrows knitted together.
It's not that I'm unhappy to see my old friend... but I've obviously been very cautious and asked the children to throw away all their electronic devices. How did Ghost Saber Princess come here?
And she may not be the Ghost Saber Princess!
It’s just an avatar of a girl in work clothes. It’s not difficult to imitate...
What Lu Ping was more concerned about at this time was that this image suddenly appeared in the Crystal Palace, and even appeared in front of him. Does it mean that the God Lords can also track it?
Subconsciously, Lu Ping wanted to cut off the contact. Anyway, his body was still safe and was not in the Crystal Palace.
It's not too late to reestablish contact until the reason is figured out.
But the next moment, the virtual girl in front of him said something quickly, which made Lu Ping stop his movements, and there was only unparalleled shock in his eyes.
This was probably the most shocking sentence he had heard since he came to this world.
"Brother Hunter...or should I say, Lupin?"
The virtual girl stared at him meaningfully, "You are also the host of the creature editor. Am I right?"
