"Small Fish, no need to be scared. Even though they say that, the chances of encountering the ghost ship are extrely low!"
Xia Hongyao comforted Hua Yue Yu.
"Indeed, I’ve checked the data, and the other sites among the top ten Divine Ruins are there due to their high difficulty, remaining unpurified for years!"
Gu Qingqiu explained: "As for the Harbor Island Ghost Ship, it’s because it appears and disappears unexpectedly."
It was once the world’s third most luxurious cruise liner. When it was sailing in international waters, a teor carrying God’s bones fell nearby, contaminating it.
Since then, this luxury liner turned into a Divine Ruin, wandering the seas outside Hong Kong Island.
Finding a cruise liner in the vast ocean is quite difficult, especially one that’s been contaminated and transford into a Divine Ruin. The detection technology currently mastered by humans can’t even trace its movents.
People’s understanding of it mainly cos through those ’ghost ships.’
Initially, people were unaware of the Harbor Island Ghost Ship’s existence and only knew there was a missing luxury liner.
Later, sporadic incidents of ships going off course and disappearing occurred in these waters. When they were found after so ti, either all personnel were missing or dead. Occasionally, one or two survivors were found, but they turned into lunatics from whom no information could be gathered.
Because of the presence of this ghost ship, the shipping routes in this area were directly suspended. Sailors simply didn’t want to travel this route, and no amount of increased pay could convince them, as one only has one life.
It was only in the last four or five years without any further incidents of ships going off course that this area has beco busy again.
"Without locating the Divine Ruins, naturally it’s impossible to contain God’s bones and purify them!"
Xia Hongyao chuckled: "But this ti we have Little Linzi, so we might actually encounter it!"
"Considering Little Linzi’s bad luck physique is off the charts!"
Xia Hongyao didn’t think Lin Baici was a jinx; in fact, she wished she had such a physique.
"Can’t you wish so good luck?"
Reflecting on the past year’s experiences, Lin Baici felt a bit uneasy: "Maybe we should fly instead?"
Frankly, Lin Baici didn’t want to encounter any supernatural rule contamination.
"Catch a beautiful ghost to warm your bed, wouldn’t that be great!"
Xia Hongyao was thrilled.
Lin Baici rely suggested it, given the extrely low probability of encountering the ghost ship even if they did...
Well,
better not jinx it.
...
The next day, after having a Hong Kong-style breakfast, everyone started a day tour of Hong Kong Island, led by Gu Qingqiu.
In the evening, Lin Baici received a call from Li Yintong.
"Brother Lin, you’ve co to Hong Kong without telling ?"
Li Yintong complained: "At least I’m a local. I need to play host and treat you all well!"
It’s not like Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao tried to hide their presence; even if they did, the information network of Nine Dragons Hall would surely uncover their whereabouts.
"That’s called a host, not a local big shot!"
Lin Baici laughed: "I’ll visit you and Brother Fish tomorrow!"
They were all friends; visiting Hong Kong ant he should stop by.
"I thought you had forgotten about !"
Over the phone, Brother Fish’s voice ca through: "Why wait until tomorrow? Co out tonight and I’ll take you to party all night at Lan Kwai Fong!"
"Brother Fish, you’re living quite well, aren’t you?"
Lin Baici teased: "Played all day today, and I’m tired, not going."
"Alright, then tomorrow at Jiulong Club!"
Brother Fish invited: "I’ll give you a proper welco!"
...
The next day, Lin Baici arranged for Long Miaomiao and the others to explore on their own, while he went with Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu to visit Brother Fish.
After passing through the Haijing Divine Ruins, Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu were also considered friends of Brother Fish, naturally invited to join.
The car cruised down the street, resembling a fish swimming through a stream.
"Jiulong Club is Uncle Nine’s lair, and I’ve heard there are truly nine dragons guarding it below."
Xia Hongyao was excited: "I wish we could see them!"
In Asia, the strongest God Hunter organization is the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, followed by Dongying’s Dayao, then Nine Dragons Hall, and below that is Goryeo’s Sejong Zheng.
Uncle Nine single-handedly elevated Nine Dragons Hall to such prominence; his strength is unquestionable.
It’s said that Uncle Nine is a survivor who walked out of the first Divine Ruins.
Just to add so data, there are only seven survivors of such caliber, and aside from the two whose whereabouts beca unknown, the remaining five have all reached the peak in the field of God Hunting.
"Unfortunately, Uncle Nine is currently not on Hong Kong Island!"
Gu Qingqiu expressed regret; she wanted to witness this legend.
If it weren’t for tagging along with Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, she wouldn’t qualify to et such a big shot.
"Good, if he was here how would we see the dragons?"
Xia Hongyao excitedly rubbed her hands: "Hopefully, so of the Divine Prohibitions collected by Jiulong Club suddenly trigger rules pollution, so we have a reason to explore Jiulong Club openly!"
"Hey, hey, can you stop jinxing it?"
Lin Baici was exasperated; his high ponytail friend always expects rules pollution wherever they go?
Can’t she wish for sothing better?
...
Jiulong Club is an old-style three-story mansion, exuding the charm of early 20th-century architecture.
If this house weren’t privately owned, it would likely have beco a tourist spot, a checklist site for visitors.
Getting off the car, Hua Yue Yu’s first reaction upon seeing the mansion was imagining that so warlord or tycoon had lived here, with several wives involved in a murder case.
All in all, this kind of place is definitely a filming site for horror movies.
Hua Yue Yu even thought about starting a live stream to explore the mansion.
It would surely be popular!
Lin Baici walked up the steps and, following Brother Fish’s instructions, rang the bell three tis.
Not a ti more!
Creaaaak!
The door opened, revealing a foyer. The rusty hinges made a piercing sound that was grating on the teeth.
Next to the foyer was a counter, where a Western-style maid doll in a traditional long dress stood.
"Welco!"
The maid doll smiled: "Handso sir, are you Lin Baici Lin Longyi?"
"Mr. Fish has already instructed; you can skip the registration and head upstairs directly!"
"Please follow !"
The maid doll ca out from behind the counter to lead the way.
Grrrrr! Grrrrr!
A massive wave of hunger swept through like a tsunami, causing Lin Baici’s stomach to cramp painfully.
Xia Hongyao heard Lin Baici’s stomach growling and looked at him in surprise.
With your physique, you shouldn’t feel hungry even after half a month without food, right?
Lin Baici looked down; indeed, this club houses top-tier Divine Prohibitions, maybe even a God.
Because this hunger was comparable in intensity to that which Lin Baici felt when he encountered the Busan Divine Being.
The maid doll pressed the elevator button.
"Please!"
Everyone stepped inside.
This elevator was very old-fashioned, the doors were even a steel sh.
Kim Myungjin worried it might malfunction halfway and suddenly drop down.
Although the mansion looks as if it’s three stories from the outside, the elevator showed it had eighteen floors.
Interesting!
Gu Qingqiu raised an eyebrow.
