Chapter 1185: Chapter 535 Coffin of Cain
Katerina’s "will" was, of course, intentionally released by Mu You.
Katerina, a fifth-generation Vampire and the honorable Clan Leader herself, was powerless to resist, a fact leveraged to magnify the terror associated with "Mad Jack."
Especially the release of the information about the "first-generation Vampire" caused a storm in the Vampire community; the previously dormant Heart Web instantly lit up with stars, as various pieces of true and false information flew about.
That evening, while the Vampires were engulfed in spreading panic, Mu You had already quietly set off towards the seaside.
The City of Enoch was a coastal city which, due to being a closed setting, had a so-called "sea" that was actually a lake to its inhabitants. If one sailed towards the boundary, they would automatically become lost and be forced to return.
The mummy coffin mentioned by the Regent King was currently stationed on a cargo cruise ship by the sea.
According to the Regent King, the cruise ship was effectively controlled by the Reformers, and most of the people on board were Vampire members of the Reformer clan.
Mu You now needed to infiltrate this ship and locate where the coffin was stored.
"You silently enter the water under the cover of darkness, taking a flat boat and rowing towards the sea..."
"The sea surface was utterly silent in the dead of night, with only a cargo ship moving slowly on the water. From a distance, a few crew members could be vaguely seen patrolling back and forth."
"... You quickly approached the cargo ship, cautiously steering the boat and moving as silently as possible under the ship."
"At this point, the voices of the people on the ship were clearly audible."
"... to be honest, I’ve never seen something so sinister. It’s just a coffin, but one glance makes you dizzy..."
"What do you think is hidden inside?"
"It’s said to be some Egyptian pharaoh, undecayed and unperished for thousands of years. I don’t believe it unless... what’s sealed inside is a sleeping Vampire!"
"... Makes sense! Shall we take another look?"
"Don’t mess around. The Boss said no one should go near that thing until he returns! Do you want to disobey?"
"No, no, I was just wondering... that thing being in the wine storage room without anyone watching it, is it safe?"
"What’s unsafe about it? That coffin is so sinister that they say everyone who has dared to come close to it has committed suicide. Who would dare touch it..."
You overheard some useful information, and immediately stopped lurking, leaving the boat to climb up the side of the ship.
You saw four Vampires dressed as sailors, gathering and chatting on the deck.
You activated "Presence," making your presence nearly imperceptible.
You tiptoed past the four, who were completely unaware of you, and you quickly entered the cabin area...
With both the pocket watch and "Presence," this kind of infiltration task was relatively easy for Mu You.
He coincidentally gleaned the location of the coffin from the conversation of the four, which spared him quite some effort.
Next, Mu You focused on controlling his character to sneak in, using "Presence" whenever it cooled down, and retracing his steps whenever he encountered patrolling crew members he couldn’t avoid.
In this cautious manner, he stealthily advanced for about half an hour, finally finding the "wine storage room" mentioned by the four.
"The door to the wine storage room wasn’t locked, it was left ajar."
"You activated hyper-sense, confirmed there was no one around, and then pushed the door open." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"The aroma of wine was strong in the room; you crouched and moved through rows of wooden crates full of wine bottles, quickly spotting a piece of red cloth in a corner."
"The cloth was covering an oblong object, which appeared to be the only item in the room that could possibly be a ’coffin’."
"You hurried forward and pulled off the red cloth."
"However, what was hidden under the red cloth was just an ordinary long wood crate."
"..."
Mu You finally understood why he had a strange feeling since boarding the ship—the entire experience had been too smooth. From overhearing the coffin’s location when boarding, to evading patrols all the way to this wine storage room, there had been no complications.
More critically, such an important item was left unguarded at the door, and the door wasn’t even locked, as if someone had intentionally left it open for theft.
"Retrace..."
Realizing he might have fallen into a trap, Mu You instinctively pressed the watch.
"Time flowed backward, and you had just stepped into the wine storage room when you immediately stepped back out, activating ’Godspeed.’"
"In the slowed-down time, you turned around and fled without a second thought."
"However, you had barely taken a step when a figure appeared in front of you."
"A young man wearing sunglasses appeared in front of you. You instinctively tried to evade him, but he mirrored your every move, clearly also under the effect of Godspeed."
"From the strong aura emanating from the young man, you quickly determined he was a third-generation Vampire."
Mu You was resigned.
If it were the ordinary Vampires on the deck, he might have put up a fight, but against a third-generation, it was more dignified to not struggle.
However, Mu You was not too nervous. Judging by the situation, the other party must have discovered him before he boarded the ship; had he wanted to act, he could have done so earlier.
"You gave up on running, and the other party also stopped, approaching you in the slowed-down time, extending a hand, ’Let’s get acquainted, my name is Naz Mansour, part of the Reformer clan.’"
