Thanks to the various intelligence gathered during the fifth round, the group was confident that they could prevent the cruise ship from sinking using scientific methods.

But the key point is to make Karasuma Renya completely give up the idea of sacrifice, otherwise everything will only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Even if it cannot be dispelled for the time being, at least the next sailing time should be delayed as much as possible before Hasegawa Yu completes the collapse value mission.

However, these are things to be considered after the mission to prevent the cruise ship from sinking is successful. At the moment, everyone is acting in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

After invading the cruise ship's local area network with an AI-generated program and secretly gaining control of the cruise ship's network, Jinpei Matsuda slipped out of the control room without attracting anyone's attention and returned to a playroom somewhere inside the cruise ship.

At about the same time, after confirming that there was indeed a bomb on the cruise ship and arranging clues without leaving any traces that would allow the people from the Di Ai Group and other underworld forces to notice anything strange, Furuya Rei also returned to the meeting point.

At this moment, the cruise ship has sailed to the Pacific Ocean. The people on the cruise ship cannot contact the outside world. After the other forces staying on the upper deck of the cruise ship discovered this, they either boarded the lifeboat and left the cruise ship to seek help, regardless of whether others left the cruise ship or chose to stay on the cruise ship to save themselves.

Fūya Rei knew very well that anyone who discovered the bomb would choose the former option, and he did not expect that other forces hostile to the organization would suddenly have a change of heart and save the entire cruise ship.

All he wanted was the chaos these people created.

At that time, in the chaos, many things can be done smoothly.

Meanwhile, Keimitsu Morofushi and Kenji Hagiwara, who were also on the upper deck of the cruise ship, were responsible for monitoring the movements of other organization members to ensure that no accidents occurred.

"The boss ordered us to evacuate by helicopter one after another."

Hearing the words coming from Zhufu Jingguang on the wireless communicator, Jiang Gu Ling's lips moved, "Got it."

He lowered his eyes to look at his watch. It was 2:15 in the afternoon.

According to Hasegawa Yu's intuition, the thunderstorm would not arrive until after dark. To reduce the difficulty of the official rescue and ensure the survival of ordinary passengers on the cruise ship, everyone decided to start the plan before dark.

All preliminary preparations are ready.

"The situation has changed. Gin suddenly got off the helicopter for some reason." Hagiwara Kenji said in a serious voice.

He and Zhu Fujingguang deliberately chose different batches of helicopters to leave with other members of the organization. Now that Gin turned back at the last minute, there must be something that happened that they were not aware of.

Morofushi Keimitsu, who was on the same helicopter with Gin, quickly delivered the message through Noah's Ark.

Gin hadn't contacted anyone before getting off the helicopter. I tried to probe him, but he seemed to have second thoughts and wanted to go back and reconfirm everything on the cruise ship.

Hasegawa Yu relayed Morifushi Kagemitsu's words to the other two.

"Where was it exposed?" Jinpei Matsuda frowned and reviewed his previous actions.

Fūya Rei didn't say anything, but glanced at his own blurry reflection on the glass wall beside him.

The Soul Crown, emitting a faint blue light, stands out exceptionally among them.

After a few seconds, he said, "Just in case, I'll go check the cabin again."

Matsuda Jinpei disagreed. "The time for the plan to begin is approaching. People from the Diai Group and other forces are probably over there. What are you going to do there?"

"Gin won't let me follow him." Hagiwara Kenji's low voice came from the radio, "He went towards the bottom cabin."

"Hagiwara, you should take the helicopter as planned." Furuya Rei immediately said, "At least I'm wearing a disguise, so if I accidentally run into Gin, I have room for maneuver."

"Then I'll go too." Matsuda Jinpei grabbed his arm. "You blond bastard, you're not the only one wearing a disguise."

Fūya Rei flattened the corners of his mouth and looked into his eyes.

Jinpei Matsuda did not give in.

"Oh? Don't hold me back when the time comes, little brother." Finally, Furuya Zero compromised.

Matsuda Jinpei, who had a feeling that he had something on his mind today, sneered, "It's still unclear who's holding whom back. You can't beat me in terms of skill."

Furiya Rei retorted, "I knocked out your teeth back then, and you still want to quibble?"

"Huh? I lost that tooth in a fight in high school. What you knocked out was just a denture that was prone to falling off anyway!"

Hasegawa Yu looked around, stepped in between the two, and gave them a good conclusion, "It's a draw, Brother Ling and Brother Jinping are a draw, everyone wins together!"

Receiving the young man's gaze, the two of them realized that their previous "argument" was a bit childish and looked away uncomfortably. "Xiaoyou is here, let's go to the bottom cabin to take a look."

"Um."

After watching the two disappear at the door, Hasegawa Yu touched his chest and said, "Brother Ling, you're acting weird today."

His heartbeat was also a little fast, like some kind of bad omen.

Noah's Ark asked with concern: [Xiaoyou?]

"I'm fine." Hasegawa Yu shook his head and struggled for a moment, "Noah, I think..."

On the other side, Fūya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei quickly came to the bottom cabin.

As planned, the top brass of the Di'ai Group and several gang members accidentally discovered tons of bombs placed in the bottom cabin. In order to get a chance to escape, they competed with each other for the lifeboat.

During the dispute, their movements attracted several ordinary crew members who were on normal patrol.

Seeing the bomb, the crew was terrified and ran to report the matter to their superiors.

However, during the reporting process, the news somehow leaked out, and more and more passengers learned that the cruise ship was suspected to be blown up, and rushed to the cabin where the lifeboat was located.

If only one or two passengers discovered the bomb, they could be killed directly, but so many passengers knew about it, and the news could not be concealed at all.

The top executives of the Di'ai Group and several gang members realized this and stopped arguing and wasting time. They got on the lifeboats they had seized and evacuated first.

It was at this time that Gin arrived at the cabin where the lifeboat was stored.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

After a burst of violent gunfire, the people who were waiting for the wheelhouse passage to open fell forever on the lifeboat. The warm blood spread in the shallow water, dyeing the surrounding water surface red.

The situation changed, and Gin decisively took out the bomb.

As long as this place is blown up, the passengers will still not be able to escape from the cruise ship.

"Bang--"

Gin turned his head and dodged a bullet shot at him.

His cold green eyes looked in the direction where the bullets came from, and he raised the Beretta in his hand without hesitation.

"Are there any rats? Come out!"

"Are you Gin from that organization?!"

Fūya Rei walked out from the shadows, pointing his gun at the silver-haired killer, a look of fear on his face. "Did you plant the bomb? What are you going to do?!"

The disguised identities of Furuya Rei and Matsuda Jinpei belonged to a small gang. Even if Gin checked it later, he would not find any mistakes in his words.

Fūya Rei, who was already planning to provoke a fight between the organization and other forces and had no intention of caring about the cruise ship incident, had a slightly dimmed look in his eyes.

If possible, letting Gin die here will further intensify the conflict between the organization and other forces.

Feeling the obvious murderous intent, Gin curled up the corners of his mouth coldly, threw the bomb in his hand and fired.

"Bang--"

Intense flames exploded in the cabin, and a chaotic battle began.

"There's actually a mouse."

Gin looked at Matsuda Jinpei who was coordinating with Furuya Rei, then glanced at the cabin door where the noise came from, "Tsk."

Passengers who were unaware of the situation received news that the cruise ship was about to be bombed and appeared at the door, saw the chaotic scene inside, which looked like a large gang fight, and could not help but scream.

The scene suddenly became more chaotic.

The entrance to the wheelhouse had been blown open at some point, and cold sea water flowed in, gradually covering everyone's ankles and climbing higher.

Gin thought about the list of codenamed members who should have not yet left the cruise ship, took out his communicator and called, "Speyside, temporary mission, come to the bottom cabin."

Rei Fukiya/Matsuda Jinpei:...

Before the reinforcements from somewhere arrived, Gin, who had no qualms about attacking ordinary people, rushed towards the two men.

Without exposing Bourbon's usual fighting skills, Furuya Rei raised his arm to block Gin's attack, and caught a glimpse of a bomb rolling down to the ordinary passengers not far away.

He subconsciously wanted to step forward and kick the bomb away.

Wait! Gin's main targets were him and Matsuda, so there was no need to rush to attack the passengers who didn't even dare to come in.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he looked carefully to see where the bomb was among the crowd.

What?!

"Bang--"

Before he could react to what was happening, a silver bullet shot towards his heart.

"Xiaoshan!" Jinpei Matsuda called out the name of Rei Furuya's disguised identity.

Naturally, Fūya Rei also noticed the bullet, and he exerted force on his feet and immediately dodged sideways.

But for some reason, his body froze in place for a moment as if out of control.

In a battle, even a half-second mistake can be fatal.

“Puff——”

The sound of bullets entering flesh was heard.

Fūya Rei's pupils suddenly contracted. Is it the Crown of the Soul? But why...

In an instant, his consciousness fell into a dark world.

Hasegawa Yu persuaded Noah, and when he rushed to the cabin, he saw Furuya Rei lying on the ground.

“!!!”

He pounced on her and looked at the blood flowing from Rei Furuya's heart. Without thinking too much, he took out a shell necklace from his collar, opened it, took out the orange pearl inside and was about to put it up.

The next second after the young man made this move, the Soul Crown, which was invisible to everyone except Rei Furuya, shone brightly, flew up from above Rei Furuya's head, grew larger, and enveloped the entire space.

Hasegawa Yu looked up as if he sensed something.

Time stopped.

"Are you sure you want to save him?"

A voice echoed in the space.

"Mr. Ikko?" Hasegawa Yu looked around but didn't see the familiar puppy doll.

"Think carefully, do you really want to save him?"

The puppy doll stated the facts calmly, "Once you use the power of the pearl, you will instantly turn back into a mermaid. With so many people here, do you want to reveal your mermaid identity again?"

Upon hearing this, Hasegawa Yuu stopped, and everyone around him stopped where they were. Matsuda Jinpei's expression was still in shock, and a bullet had just been fired from Gin's gun, and it was hovering in the air.

Hasegawa Yu lowered his head again and looked at the man lying on the ground.

At this moment, his excellent hearing allowed him to hear the passing of a life with incredible clarity.

The heartbeat is so quiet.

My heart is beating so loudly.

"I want to save her." He clenched the orange pearl in his hand and said firmly.

"You can't go back." The puppy puppet's voice continued, "Do you want to develop the situation like in the fifth round again?"

He seemed to be trying to persuade earnestly, "Furugaya Rei is not a Red Team member. Even if he dies here, it will not affect your mission.

On the contrary, if your identity as a mermaid is discovered, all your efforts so far will most likely be in vain, and the mission will inevitably fail."

"You don't care about your own contract, but you don't care about that AI either?"

Hasegawa Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Noah also had a crown of soul.

It doesn't matter if his mission fails, but Noah cannot be implicated.

But, but...

Hasegawa Yu once again looked at the man lying unconscious on the ground, breathing weakly, with a strange face.

This is Brother Zero!

He is the person who has stayed with him the longest in this world except Noah!

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up."

Hasegawa Yuu glanced around and took out a flash grenade from his backpack. "Noah would agree to my rescue."

Fortunately, the seniors were worried and asked him to bring a lot of small equipment.

Hasegawa Yu pulled the safety ring of the flash grenade.

He was wearing a disguise, so even if his mermaid identity was discovered, he would not easily implicate his predecessors.

Besides, there are so many teammates here now. If he is really discovered, he can hide in the sea and wait for the red team’s character’s collapse value to return to zero.

"You scoundrel with the voice of a gentleman, don't use that voice to talk to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hasegawa Yu threw the flash bomb into the distance.

The moment the blinding white light filled the space, he used all his strength to lift Fūya Rei onto his back and rushed towards the wheel well access.

“Plop—”

The flash bomb's effectiveness had not yet expired, and Hasegawa Yu took Furaya Rei to dive into the seabed and swam quickly to a deserted place.

The moment the mermaid led the people into the water, something covering this space was broken.

Time flows again, and the effect of the flash bomb continues.

“…”

The "bad guy" with the voice of a puppy doll sighed and uttered a word that no one heard.

"Fugu Zero, the contract is concluded."

When there is something wrong, he is a god, and when there is nothing wrong, he is a bad guy. Why is this mermaid like this!

The next second after Matsuda Jinpei saw Furiya Rei being shot in the heart, a flash bomb exploded in the crowd.

When the light faded, Fūya Rei, who was supposed to have fallen to the ground, was gone.

Gin also fell unconscious on the ground for unknown reasons.

Matsuda Jinpei: “???”

Hello? Can someone explain this to him?
