Free Web NovelChapter 1224: Chapter 1210: Demon Puppet Star
After the black shadow demonstrated his art of vanishing into thin air, everyone gave up resisting and obediently followed him back to one of the ships of the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang.
"Here, put it on."
A sports wristwatch was handed to Baiyu by the black shadow.
Baiyu looked at the wristwatch.
He frowned, "What’s this thing?"
The black shadow said in a deep voice, "A locator. It also serves as a means of restriction to prevent you from causing trouble on the ship."
He didn’t say much.
Baiyu put on the wristwatch and sat in the large cargo hold.
This cargo hold was spacious, with rows of seats on both sides and tables in the middle that held water and food.
Everyone was driven inside.
Although the environment wasn’t great, it wasn’t terrible either, and it wasn’t crowded due to the ample space.
After everyone was inside,
The black shadow closed the large door, and the lights in the cargo hold turned on.
However.
As soon as the door closed, it felt like being isolated from the world, and Baiyu’s spirituality couldn’t be extended in the slightest.
"It’s this strange ability again, it seems related to spatial abilities."
Baiyu thought to himself.
The crowd, although confined here, were not restricted in their movements, so they began to communicate with each other, hoping to unite and resolve their crisis.
Of course.
Baiyu didn’t hold any hope for such a unity.
After all, just now, a subordinate of a Demon Puppet officer made everyone afraid to resist. The power discrepancy was too vast. Against absolute power, any wit or trickery was useless.
Therefore.
When Li Tian invited him, Baiyu just shook his head, "At this point, doing this only means getting themselves into more trouble, without any meaning.
If they really could rebel,
they would have fought back just now.
Thinking about counterattacking in someone else’s territory now is a bit too late.
Suffering is part of the scars."
Baiyu lifted the scar pendant on his chest, and with his priest’s robe, he indeed looked a bit like a charlatan.
Li Tian didn’t buy it.
He said in a serious tone, "Previously, everyone was scared by the faceless ghost’s abilities. Even if it’s just one Saint, if we all unite on this ship, it’s not impossible to resist.
Now if we unite.
At least there is a glimmer of hope!"
There was confidence in Li Tian’s eyes.
Although Baiyu didn’t know where this confidence came from, Baiyu’s decisions were never changed.
"Alright then, since you have decided, I won’t force you."
He took a deep breath.
Li Tian turned around and left.
Baiyu sat in his seat, continuing to look at the book in his hands.
Of course.
He constantly counted his heartbeats to see how much time had passed.
About two hours later,
the starship belonging to the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang officially started moving, and everyone could noticeably feel the starship in motion.
Everything outside had settled...
The battle between the Gale and the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang was over, and the result was evident.
The Gale lost miserably.
Baiyu just paused slightly and continued reading the book in his hands.
However.
The others began to become restless.
When the starship started moving, if they could seize control, they might navigate this starship to the nearest planet to seek help.
Even if they all belong to the same pirate gang,
it’s not easy for the other ships to react and chase down this starship that also belongs to their group.
Their plan was simple. freewebnøvel.coɱ
This starship holding the captives likely only has one Saint at most, as most pirates would be on the main ship of the Demon Puppet Pirate Gang, as is their habit.
So all they needed was to locate the starship’s bridge, seize control, and redirect the starship to the nearest planet for help.
It’s simple.
Even if they couldn’t ask for help on the planet, it would be hard to find them once they reached the planet.
The Demon Puppet Pirate Gang wouldn’t rashly enter other planets.
Doing so would put them in extremely dangerous situations.
Therefore.
Basically, once they reached other planets, they’d be safe.
Soon.
Under Li Tian’s lead, the crowd began taking action.
There were hundreds of people in this large cargo hold, but when Li Tian started moving, Baiyu realized that 80% actually joined the operation.
No wonder Li Tian was so confident.
However.
Even with so many joining, Baiyu didn’t think they had the slightest chance.
Soon.
Someone from Li Tian’s group unlocked the restrictions in the room, and that feeling of isolation disappeared, allowing Baiyu’s spirituality to extend once more.
After successfully unlocking the room’s restrictions,
Li Tian and his companions began to shrink, in the blink of an eye becoming ant-sized, clearly a result of someone using extraordinary abilities.
Baiyu watched them disappear, shook his head, and stopped paying attention.
The people remaining in the cargo hold didn’t care about their actions either, instead being more concerned with the ones left behind.
Dozens of people remained.
Looking around, seemingly curious about each other.
However.
No one spoke.
The cargo hold was eerily silent, with no one stepping forward to chat with others.
About three more hours passed.
A flow of darkness suddenly poured through the crack of the cargo hold door, forming a shadowy figure within seconds.
It was the faceless ghost Baiyu had seen on the escape ship.
"Unfortunately, all those who escaped earlier failed. I thought they could hold on much longer."
The faceless ghost said in a neutral tone, "You can keep trying until you successfully escape.
We can play a game.
If you can escape from this starship and reach the bridge, then you’ve successfully escaped.
I’ll let you go.
But if you can’t escape, the consequence would be... paying with your lives. freewёbnoνel.com
This game
officially begins once you leave this room."
The faceless ghost said with a smile.
After saying this,
he quickly turned into clusters of black shadows, melting away before the crowd.
However.
The people who chose to stay in the cargo hold made no moves.
They ate, slept, and used the toilet on schedule every day.
None showed any intention to escape.
About seven days later,
the speed of the starship suddenly stopped.
The faceless ghost reappeared at the door, looking at the crowd and reluctantly snorting, "Get down."
In no time,
the crowd exited the cargo hold, walked through a long hallway, disembarked the starship, and stepped onto land.
The scene before their eyes,
was a star port with extremely beautiful scenery.
Starships were parked outside the port on the water, and as for why they didn’t dock in close orbit, Baiyu didn’t know either.
There might be something special about this place.
The Demon Puppet Pirate Gang’s lair surely isn’t an ordinary planet; otherwise, the Imperial would have wiped it out long ago.
Baiyu took a deep breath.
He looked toward the man standing in front of the star port, armored like a terracotta warrior.
He should be the manager here.
"Welcome to Demon Puppet Star."
A loudspeaker voice sounded from inside the star port.
