The chaos on board the Northern Lights cruise ship continues.

People weaved around the cabins, packing their bags almost frantically, for fear that they would have to evacuate and become the ones left behind.

I don't know who leaked the news, or maybe someone learned the news through other means, and they were targeted by pirates, and this matter spread wildly in the cabin.

Someone ran to the captain's room and knocked on the door, asking to put down the escape boat, and it was a little bit to be able to escape. There are even people who ask for life jackets to jump into the sea and flee if they are boarded by pirates.

I have to say that when people's lives are in danger, they will always say something that does not go through their brains.

Except for a limited number of diesel-powered speedboats, the rest of the dinghy is enough for people to sink and float at sea waiting for rescue. Not to mention that you can't run far on the high seas, you can't run at all, and there is a risk of being overturned by the waves.

As for life jackets......

Let's just say that this is a very creative idea.

More and more people gathered in the captain's quarters, and the bodyguards of the Royal Guard had to join the ranks of the guards and begin to maintain order outside the captain's room. The ship's first mate also joined the ranks in an attempt to calm everyone's uneasiness.

It's safe for the time being, but it's clearly not a good place to stay.

After watching Wang Peng report the situation with a satellite phone, Lu Zhou asked Wang Peng to take him out of the captain's room and prepare to return to his room to rest for a while.

However, just as they were about to go down the stairs, they suddenly met two acquaintances.

These two acquaintances were none other than Prince Ferep and his beautiful wife, Princess Sophia. I saw this lady Sophia crying so much that she was lying on Prince Ferep's shoulder, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul.

Although it has nothing to do with him, no one will turn a blind eye to such a thing, especially seeing that the little princess is not by the side of the two, Lu Zhou, who has vaguely guessed something, asked kindly.

"What's going on here?"

Looking up and seeing Lu Zhou and Wang Peng, Mrs. Sophia grabbed Lu Zhou's arm and said in a pleading voice.

"My Lilian! She's gone! I beg you, help me. ”

Lu Zhou glanced at her, only to see that her eyes had already turned red from crying, and the whole person was like a drowning person who fell into the lake, desperately grasping every straw around her.

He had no doubt that even if it was not himself and Wang Peng who passed by here, but a waiter who could not protect herself, she would definitely catch him and ask him to help find her daughter.

Prince Ferep's mood was calm, at least there was a trace of reason, and he gently pulled the lady's arm.

"The Royal Guard is already looking for her, they just need a little time."

"That bunch of garbage doesn't care about us!" Shook off her husband's arm, covered her face, and made a whimpering sound, "Don't look at them staring at the royal name, they don't have us in their eyes at all, just look at their eyes!" ”

"I guess it's just that you're too sensitive......"

Looking at the crying Mrs. Sophia, Wang Peng took a step forward.

The expressionless face only maintained basic politeness, and he didn't care about these things at all during the mission, just said in an impersonal voice.

"I'm sorry, Lady Sophia, we have something more important—"

"It's okay, please don't panic, Lady Sophia, your daughter will come back to you."

Wang Peng looked at Lu Zhou, who interrupted his voice, in amazement, and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

And at this time, Mrs. Sophia, who was crying, also raised her head and looked at him in disbelief.

"You...... Would you like to help me? ”

Lu Zhou nodded and said in a gentle voice.

"Of course, I am also worried about the safety of the little princess, and I hope she can return to you as soon as possible."

Prince Ferep regained his wife's hand, squeezed it gently, and looked at Lu Zhou with some hesitation.

"That's ...... Is it really good? ”

Although the relationship between the two countries is temporarily in the honeymoon period, whether it is Sweden, China or himself, it is clear that his daughter is not worth the risk of Academician Lu in any sense.

Something went wrong with the former, and it's just Sweden's own business.

And if the latter goes wrong, it may not be as simple as a diplomatic dispute.

Looking at Prince Ferep, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"There's nothing good or bad about it, and it's not that difficult."

After asking Prince Ferep's room number, Lu Zhou led Wang Peng to the other end of the cabin. Looking at Lu Zhou's back, Wang Peng hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"We shouldn't have any surprises, and I'm afraid there might be other dangers on board."

Regardless of whether the diplomatic issue is Lu Zhou's job or not......

Even if he took 10,000 steps back and something happened to the little princess, no one would blame the inaction of a scholar, let alone Hua Guo. In addition to mourning, people hated the pirates at most.

"People all over the world know that the Swedish royal family is the poorest royal family in the world, even if there are some well-known entrepreneurs and rich people on board, but they are far from being rich and rival countries, not to mention that even if this ransom is in hand, it will probably not be able to spend it if it causes such a big trouble. Obviously, those pirates are not here for money, but for me. ”

"So, it's not a surprise."

"But—"

Wang Peng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Zhou.

I saw him smile and continue.

"And as I said, it's not that hard."

In fact, the main reason is because Chen Yushan likes that little girl, if she encounters any danger, falls into the water in the chaos or something bad happens, Lu Zhou feels that she will definitely feel sad.

Of course, no matter how much these things are said, I'm afraid it's an excuse.

The real reason is probably because he is a nosy person.

Sighing as if giving up, Wang Peng did not persuade, but talked about practical problems.

"How are you going to find her? I don't have enough people on my side. ”

"That's a good question, give me a minute."

As he spoke, Lu Zhou stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped it on the AR glasses.

"Xiao Ai, help me find a little girl on the boat. Her name is Lilian, the little princess of the royal family, and although I don't have a picture of her, you should be able to find her online. ”

【Okay, master!】 (????????????)???? 】

For Xiao Ai, who controls a quantum computer, in the world of the Internet, it is almost omnipotent. While surveillance on a cruise ship isn't networked, there's always something networked on a cruise ship that can act as a springboard.

Almost at the moment of replying to the message, Xiao Ai had already taken control of the monitoring system.

Through the retrieval of cached data, as well as the comparison of portraits, heights, gait characteristics, and the analysis of the course of action, an intermittent green line extends in the 3D thumbnail of the cabin, and soon runs through the interior space of the Northern Lights cargo ship, pointing straight to the stern.

Taking in the route of travel, Lu Zhou reached out and gently supported his glasses, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

“…… We've found her. ”

Wang Peng glanced at Lu Zhou in disbelief.

I just wanted to ask, "Are you sure?" But thinking that Lu Zhou would never joke about this kind of thing, he changed his words when he came to his lips.

"You glasses...... How much? ”

"Do you think it's the glasses that do this? Don't think about it, it's mine," Lu Zhou smiled faintly and continued, "The target is in the utility room at the stern of the second floor, the room number should be B2771, let's go over." ”

Wang Peng nodded.

"Okay."

Against the crowded crowd, Lu Zhou followed Wang Peng's footsteps and came to the utility room at the stern.

There are mainly some cleaning supplies that are not used for the time being, and they belong to places that are not usually visited.

Looking at the locked door, although he was curious about how the naughty little guy slipped in, Lu Zhou didn't waste too much curiosity on such trivial matters, and clicked on the frame of his glasses with his index finger to unlock the electronic lock.

When the bell rang to open the door, Wang Peng took the doorknob first, put the other hand in his arms, and cautiously pushed the door open.

Watching his cautious movements, Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile and followed him into the relatively spacious storage room.

Naturally, there could be no ambush here, just a little girl in a dress, squatting in the corner, clutching a rag doll that she didn't know where to pick it up.

Blinking a pair of big emerald eyes, looking at the two who appeared at the door, Princess Lilian opened her mouth in surprise.

“…… Why haven't you gone into hiding yet? ”

Thinking that this question was a little funny, Lu Zhou walked over to her and squatted down, and asked with a smile.

"Why are you hiding? There's just a little bit of a situation outside, and the good kid doesn't run around. ”

"Lillian wasn't running around, Lillian was just fleeing."

Hearing this, Lu Zhou couldn't hold back, and shook his head with a smile.

Refugees?

This is on the high seas, where can you escape?

Seeing that Lu Zhou obviously didn't believe what he said, the little princess sitting on the ground complained dissatisfiedly.

"You can't believe me, I'm telling the truth. Some people say that there are pirates outside, and then Mom and Dad can't be found, and if Lillian doesn't hide anymore, will she wait on the deck to die? ”

At this time, the good child's approach is to go back to his room, instead of making the parents anxious...... Wait, you say anyone knows the pirates are coming? ”

"Yes," Lilian nodded, looking at Lu Zhou curiously, "Don't you know?" That's what everybody says. ”

Lu Zhou and Wang Peng took a look at each other, and they both saw such a look in each other's eyes.

Sure enough, most of the ships on this ship have internal responses.

If no one spreads the news, even if there will be similar rumors, it will not be so consistent.

Not to mention that it was before he called for satellite aerial photography.

Even if the news came from the captain's room, the time was not right at all. In this way, someone must be deliberately creating chaos and then planning to take advantage of the chaos......

Presumably overheard their conversation, the icon that was being retrieved flashed in the upper right corner of the glasses.

After about 30 seconds, a line of text appeared in Lu Zhou's field of vision.

Xiao Ai: [Master, Xiao Ai found several suspicious people on the lowest floor. φ(≧ω≦*)?? 】

Lu Zhou: "Mark it for me." ”

Xiao Ai: [Roger!] (????????????)???? 】

Soon, a surveillance footage was displayed, as everyone went to the restaurant, ready to follow the instructions to evacuate. A few suspicious people went against the crowd and came to the bottom of the cruise ship.

Judging from the clothes on their bodies, they were wearing the uniforms of hotel staff, until they disappeared into the surveillance footage, and Xiao Ai marked their current location on the map.

"Wang Peng, look at your phone."

Hearing Lu Zhou's order, Wang Peng turned on his mobile phone without any hesitation and played the surveillance video that Lu Zhou had just sent.

When he saw those abnormal figures, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

"There will be two security checks before getting on the ship, and no one but us should be able to bring weapons on board."

"Do we include the Royal Guard?"

Wang Peng was slightly stunned, and then nodded clearly.

"I see."

Instead of bringing weapons on board, they directly used the ship's equipment, which belonged to the Royal Guard.

Although these pieces of equipment are all light weapons, it is certainly impossible to bomb the ship, but it is still okay to take advantage of the chaos to do some other bad things.

Not surprisingly, if the pirate's attack was unsuccessful, they should start fighting the ship's guards.

The expression on his face sank slightly, Wang Peng put away his mobile phone and said softly.

"I'll be back when I go, you stay here and don't move around."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I don't have any plans to walk around, but you should be more careful, they are six people." ”

Hearing this, Wang Peng suddenly smiled, and the trace of murderous aura cast out of that smile made even Princess Lilian, who was nervous, couldn't help but shudder.

"Only six?"

"It's more appropriate to change sixty and worry about me again."

With that, he walked out the door.

The door of B2771 was closed, and before leaving, Wang Peng also turned on the light in the cabin for Lu Zhou.

It's safe here.

With the monitoring system already controlled by Xiao Ai, no one would have thought that he would be here even if the entire cruise ship was searched. All he had to do was wait quietly for the riot to end, and then hand over the little princess running around into the hands of her parents, and it would be over.

Just when Lu Zhou was thinking about whether to use AR glasses to watch a movie to pass the time, a timid voice suddenly came from the side.

"I heard."

"What did you hear?"

"The pirates will take us away."

“……”

Lu Zhou thinks this is nonsense, if the pirates don't take hostages and ask for ransom, what else can they do? But thinking that it was just a six-year-old girl, he couldn't say anything philosophical, so he didn't bother to pick out the word.

“…… And then what? ”

"Then kill all the men, and then all the women—"

As soon as she heard that something was wrong, Lu Zhou immediately covered her mouth sweating profusely.

If she is allowed to continue, I'm afraid that both of them will be gone.

"Who taught you these things?"

Princess Lillian said with an innocent look on her face.

"I read it online."

"I think the person who showed you that stuff should be sentenced."

Lillian asked curiously, "What about ...... Should Mr. Hans Christian Andersen be sentenced? I love reading his story the most. ”

Lu Zhou: "...... I'm guessing you're not looking at the normal version. ”

"But what to do, Lillian is really scared." Lillian suddenly hugged her head, leaning against the corner of the wall and shrunk, as if she suddenly thought of something terrible, her shoulders trembled, "A little girl like me, who has no meat, will definitely be thrown into the sea to feed the fish because she is too good to eat." ”

What the hell is it to throw it into the sea and feed the fish?

Looking at this pitiful little guy who couldn't help laughing, Lu Zhou couldn't help but shake his head.

Just as he was thinking about how to comfort her, he suddenly thought of a good idea, so he snapped his fingers and said.

"Don't be afraid, I can do a magic trick for you."

Lilian, who was shivering, raised her head and looked at Lu Zhou curiously.

"Magic?"

"That's right, magic."

With his hands on his knees, Lu Zhou stood up from the floor and stretched out his right hand to the little girl sitting on the ground, "Get up, let's go to the porthole." ”

Only then did she behave barely like a princess.

Elegantly placing her hand on Lu Zhou's palm, Lilian complained, "Can't it just change here?" The deck was dangling, and it was tiring to stand. ”

"I'll give you a pull before you fall, hold on a little bit. This magic trick is inconvenient to cast on other things, it only works on the bad guys......"

Squinting his eyes out of the porthole, the shadow of the cargo ship was getting closer and closer.

At the same time, a marked green dot of light is getting closer and closer to his AR glasses.

"Where's the magic?" Tilting her head unhappily, Lilian looked at Lu Zhou with her baby fat little chin high, and complained in a milky voice, "Sure enough, are you also a liar?" Mr. Scholar. ”

"Anyone who knows me knows that I never lie. Look out the window," Lu Zhou stretched out his index finger and lightly pointed at the approaching cargo ship, and said softly, "The spell has been completed." ”
