Chapter 54 New Discovery
"The description on the log shows that he seems to be working for the Shangguan family or the Nightmare Ghost Pirates, which is similar to what I thought before... I haven't contacted you for more than half a year. I guess his personal freedom has been restricted. Fortunately, based on the current situation, he is safe."
Lu Jing looked at Fu Ju in a bad face, stuffed a few slices of meat into the bowl that had filled a lot of noodles, and handed it over, and said,
"What's trouble now is that our infiltration may cause the Shangguan family to take risks."
"Take a risk?"
After taking the bowl and taking a sip of the broth, Fu Ju responded.
"The researcher puppet and the cooperation with the pirates that are currently counted in the Shuoming Dynasty, what are the consequences of these two things being discovered? The Shangguan family's heads know better than us. Do you think they will do what they will do after discovering their secrets may have been exposed, and wait for death?"
Lu Jing took the noodles for Xu Zhuo and continued,
"They will definitely find a way to cover up this matter. As long as they deal with all the insiders, the logs, classics and dolls in our hands can be said to be forged!"
"So many people saw it just now, and you didn't inform the government..."
"You underestimate those guys too much. The kidnapping case in Qihuang City has been missing so far, and there are only fifty people who have gone up, not to mention the human puppet experiments that those guys secretly did. Compared with the consequences exposed by the plan, more than a dozen lives are nothing in their eyes."
In Lu Jing's view, no matter what kind of response the Shangguan family will make, the Nightmare Ghost Pirates will never compromise with any official forces!
"Then we have to notify the Alliance Navy as soon as possible?"
"That's right, we will go to the nearby islands to contact them tomorrow. The nearest naval branch should be near Huashu Island. It doesn't take much time to get to Qihuang City. It takes time to deal with traces. As long as you can catch some clues, the rest will be easier."
According to the laws of the Shuming Dynasty, the Alliance Navy will not and cannot be stationed in most island cities. They have their own strongholds or bases. If there is a problem with an island, the local officials can contact the nearby naval base at any time.
There is actually a contact point on Qihuang Island. Lu Jing originally planned to contact the alliance navy as soon as possible after obtaining the evidence, so that they could catch the Shangguan family off guard.
However, Lu Jing was not allowed to go there before. After all, Xu Zhuo had only time to water the oil on the street. If he delayed for a while, he would be caught up by the zombies again.
"Captain, Fu Ju, I think you should take a look at this. Fu Jiangxin is probably no longer in Qihuang City!"
During the break between the two of them, Xu Zhuo also turned his log to a certain page.
The log in Lu Jing’s hand records the research from June to August, while Fu Ju’s is from December to February this year. What Xu Zhu read is naturally the log from March to May.
In other words, it is what happened after Fu Jiangxin was kidnapped by Shangguan’s family.
“How to say it?”
Fu Ju took the log, and Lu Jing simply asked Xu Zhuo directly.
"Fu Jiangxin...is the name that was blackened here. According to the records, he was the leader of the experiment at the beginning and appeared very frequently. He was on almost every page of the first half of the log. However, since the end of March, the name that was blackened disappeared on the log, as if this person had never appeared."
Xu Zhuo's skills in interpreting texts are undoubtedly. The bookshelf in the captain's room are filled with dozens of books that are about to be turned into pieces and more than a dozen new books that have just been bought. It is not for nothing. Compared to Lu Jing and Fu Ju, he reads it more carefully.
"You mean we were wrong...he actually..."
Lu Jing picked up the log at his feet and looked around again. As Xu Zhuo said, although many places in this log were blackened, most of them focused on items and some experimental contents. For example, the description of the experiment leader had disappeared. Based on this, Lu Jing immediately thought of another possibility of "burning bridges across the river".
"No, I also think Fu Jiangxin is still alive, but now he is not in Qihuang City. This log mentions that on March 29, someone in Qihuang City left Qihuang Island with the first completed core controller... In my opinion, this so-called 'utensil warehouse' is obviously a real stronghold, not a laboratory like Chengfeng Doll Factory, but a finished product storage room!"
Xu Zhuo clicked the log in Fu Ju's hand and continued,
"Suppose the Soul-Submitting Puppet is the so-called core controller, and we can't understand its usage after we get it. The people in the Nightmare Ghost Pirates are probably not that bad. They need someone who can explain and teach them how to use it. Who can be a better interpreter than the person who created it?"
"This...where should I go to find it?"
When Fu Ju heard that Fu Jiangxin was probably no longer in Qihuang City, he was stunned at first, and then inevitably felt a little at a loss.
With her current ability, it is already the limit to being able to do those things on Qihuang Island. It is almost impossible for her to track down a person who is likely to be under the control of the Nightmare Pirates on the Endless Sea.
What happened on the Youhai Flower Boat is the best proof. Facing those who have extraordinary abilities, she can only become a bystander...
It is precisely because of this that Fu Ju's gaze quickly fell on Lu Jing.
"Don't worry, we two are fighting with the Nightmare Ghost Pirates. If we can cause trouble for them, we will definitely not miss it. Besides, there is a reward for transforming the Soul-Sending Puppet."
If you can find the real stronghold of the Nightmare Ghost Pirates by looking for Fu Jiangxin, it means you can "summon" the Alliance Navy as a thug, and maybe you can solve these guys once and for all. In Lu Jing's opinion, this is a sure profit-making deal.
"But in this way you may have to stay on the boat for a while... Why don't we put you on a safe island first and come to you after you have news?"
It’s not that there are no rooms on the Xiliu. When Lu Jing was choosing a ship, he was interested in the complete internal facilities of the ship. Because he didn’t plan to recruit many crew members, there were actually five independent crew rooms in the second-floor cabin, plus the captain’s room, so there were six, so there were no problems for Fu Ju to stay.
The key is that Fu Ju is not his crew member after all, and Lu Jing doesn't know whether she can or is willing to bear the danger at sea. It would be a bit embarrassing for a girl who had never really gone out to sea to take risks with them two big men.
"No, I don't want to wait for you to come to me...I can help you repair the ship. In addition to making dolls, I have also learned other techniques, magic, lock-opening, and scams...I can do a little bit, and make utensils. As long as the materials are enough, I can make a lot of props to help you!"
What Fu Ju thought was not about life at all, but about Lu Jing who wanted to find an excuse to let her leave, so he waved his hand and said.
