Start your journey from Kaiyi

On a foggy morning, a giant ship with a dragon head carved on its head, which looked very luxurious, was moored at the dock.

The huge hull blocked the glaring sunlight rising from the sea.

Compared with the passenger ship, the people on the dock were just slightly larger ants.

"So...so big!"

Tatsumi had never seen such a big ship before, and the feeling of looking up at a giant made him exclaim in surprise.

"What a fortress-like ship."

"It's a little bigger than a ship, but much smaller than an aircraft carrier, but it does look quite luxurious."

[Ding, Master, are you signing in now? ]

Long Xiaolin was a little surprised that he could sign in at this place.

【Sign it.】

[Ding, congratulations to the master for obtaining the skill Thousand Faces. This skill allows the master to imagine the appearance of a corresponding person and thus become that person.]

【Just appearance? 】

[With further development, the whole person can be transformed into that person's appearance, even the voice is exactly the same. 】

This is a good thing!

After he and Marin were exposed last time, wanted warrants were issued one after another. This skill was just right to cover up their tracks.

Long Xiaolin meditated in his mind and waved his hand in front of his face.

Then walk to the surface of the water and take a look.

I actually turned into Li Xinnan.

"Good boy, this is really interesting. Let's go aboard and scare Tatsumi."

On the passenger ship, many men and women in suits and fancy clothes were chatting on the deck.

Tatsumi leaned against the railing and silently observed the person he was protecting.

"The old man we need to protect is in the middle of the human shield, so we can't assassinate him. It seems that the imposter didn't come to our side."

"That's not necessarily the case."

At this time, Long Xiaolin, who had transformed into Xinnan, walked up to Tatsumi with a wine glass.

"who are you?"

"Can't you tell by the sound?"

Tatsumi pricked up his ears and listened carefully, unable to believe that the tone and voice of this person in front of him, whom he didn't know at all, were actually Long Xiaolin's.

"Are you Xiao Lin? How did you become like this?"

“This is my Thousand Faces skill, I can transform into anyone.

The enemy may be hiding in disguise like us, so we still need to be careful."

[No wonder he was able to board the ship openly...]

"Xiao Lin is right, Tatsumi, don't jump to conclusions."

Suddenly, Brand's voice of reprimand was heard in the air, and then Tatsumi seemed to be beaten again.

"Big brother?"

"I still have the special move of transparency. Just like Xiao Lin said, the enemy may be hiding. We don't know how the enemy will attack, right?"

"It is a taboo to let down your guard against your opponent before the battle is over."

"Indeed, you are right. I'm sorry, brother."

Although he apologized, Tatsumi still felt very painful from that blow.

"Really? I can't even count how many times I've been beaten by Big Brother."

"Okay, just think of it as a whip of love. Love~love~"

Important things must be said three times, and even the armor could not hide Brand's blush.

"You don't have to say it three times!"

"Put away your magical powers, Brand. I almost want to call you Big Brother!"

No matter what, Long Xiaolin and Tatsumi were both very resistant to this...

It made both of them look pale.

"Come to think of it, this armor is really convenient."

Tatsumi touched the transparent armor in front of him and sighed.

"Thanks to it, my brother was able to sneak onto the ship successfully."

"Ah! It was thanks to it that I survived the war with the southern tribes. It's like my partner!"

Brand said, his tone gradually becoming lower.

[Beginning, members' memoirs...]

"But no matter how hard I try, in the end..."

Because his superior Brand did not offer bribes to the new and current minister, confronting the upper echelons after returning to the imperial capital was of no avail. He himself was also envied and framed and became a criminal.

"Like a fool, I used the Teigu to escape before I could be caught."

"Are you kidding..."

[Your partner will be inherited by Tatsumi this time...]

At this moment, an electric current surged from Brand's armor, giving a warning.

"The time it takes to become transparent has almost reached its limit. I have to take off my armor."

"Brother's appearance has been exposed, right? Leave the conspicuous parts to Xiao Lin and me!"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you two then. I'll go investigate the cabin."

After Brand left, Long Xiaolin remembered something.

"Speaking of invisibility, I wonder how Leone's actions are going. The clones don't show any signs of activating their skills."

Arriving at the cabin's restaurant, Long Xiaolin and Tatsumi ate snacks and drank tea while observing whether there were any suspicious people appearing.

"If there are any suspicious guys, I will definitely not let them go, but we both look suspicious."

"If you act unnatural, people will think you are suspicious. If you act calm, people won't be suspicious."

At this time, a melodious flute sound came from upstairs. When Long Xiaolin heard the flute sound, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

At the same time, the clone accelerated and became invisible.

"...Flute?"

"I'm leaving for a while."

Meanwhile, Leone followed Esdeath to a pastry shop.

“Give me some of their signature dessert.”

Leone was lying on the roof opposite, sweating nervously as he watched Esdeath leisurely eating snacks below.

[I am in the beast state now, so you can see it.

Acting alone is a trap to lure the assassin in. The evidence is the aura emanating from that guy... full of ominous murderous intent! 】

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his chin onto the tiles, and Leone didn't dare to move at all.

[I actually wanted to take this opportunity to defeat her, how naive I am...

Although I am very reluctant, I will follow my instinct and retreat this time. 】

Afterwards, in order to prevent Esdeath from catching up, the clone gave Leone invisibility and acceleration, and left the scene instantly.

"The aura disappeared. It's a pity that I didn't take the bait. I wanted to try a new torture method..."

Back on the dragon boat, Niu was still playing the flute.

Liva couldn't help but praise him after hearing this.

"The sound is still so elegant. After the ship left the city, the situation on the ship could no longer be seen from the land. The timing could not be better."

"Even if the music stops, the people on the boat will temporarily stop moving."

Niu put down the flute and said confidently, but Liva thought that it was unlikely to be all.

"Maybe there are still some country folk who don't understand the beautiful sound of the flute. Don't be careless."

"Country people...can get on this ship?"

And just as Niu said, in the restaurant Tatsumi felt weak in his legs and his whole body was not able to move.

Everyone fell down except him.

“What on earth happened, was it caused by the sound of the flute?

Forget it, let’s go outside first.”

But when I came outside, I could still hear the flute sound.
