Mystic Dominator

Ronald and Nicole passed through three watertight doors in succession.

After advancing in a straight line for nearly a hundred meters, they were already quite far away from where they first came down.

Therefore, after properly closing the third watertight door.

Ronald felt the movement of people above him, so he said to Nicole:

"Nicole, we are now at the bottom of the stern. The propeller that powers the entire ship is not far ahead."

Nicole has no psychological pressure on this, and there is only confidence in her eyes.

"The guidance provided by the spell means that he is going this way. I think my spell is quite accurate."

This is Nicole's duty as an investigator.

So Ronald didn't interfere much and just nodded to express his understanding:

"Then it's up to you."

Continuing to follow the spell, the two went up the ladder behind the third watertight door, and turned around to find another safety door.

Nicole stepped forward and frowned - she didn't open the safety door.

"It's a little hard to pull away."

After muttering something softly, Nicole exerted force on her hands.

This time there was a 'pop' sound, and the safety door in front of them opened smoothly.

In the rear, a wave of heat rushed directly to the faces of the two people. This was not because the murderer was performing a spell attack from behind, but because the air in the rear was originally higher than here.

Ronald explained to Nicole just right:

"The cabin area in front is very hot."

"At the same time, it is difficult to open this door because of the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside."

Nicole immediately gave Ronald a surprised look.

"Ronald, how come you know everything?"

"This kind of ship was obviously only built and put into use in recent years.

I and even many old sailors don’t know these things, right? "

Of course, Ronald has never seen these things in this world. This is all the knowledge he accumulated in his previous life.

So facing Nicole's surprise, he just smiled slightly:

"You usually read more books, and after you understand the principles, you will naturally understand."

"Spare me." Nicole immediately gave up her curiosity. "In order to revitalize the school, I only have time to work and study spells. If I add reading, it will be really terrible."

Continuing inward, the sounds coming from the cabin gradually became louder.

This is the world below the ship, where huge steam engines are running, and a large number of workers are working here day and night. Coupled with the loud sound of the turbine operation, the entire environment is like a steel cave in another world.

But Ronald and Nicole quite liked this scene.

Just now, they were walking in a dark and empty tunnel, but now they entered the human world, and the light from firelight and electric lights seemed much more comfortable.

"You two, this is a work area, you can't enter at will!"

At this time, a young man wearing only a 'rag' ran over and reminded Ronald and Nicole:

"Ordinary people don't know the rules here. It's very dangerous to just walk around. It may even cause problems for the entire ship!"

Facing this young man, Nicole lost her voice for a moment.

The other party did not recognize her identity as an investigator and just regarded the two as passengers who came here out of curiosity.

The world above deck.

This is absolutely impossible to happen.

Not only does this place look completely different from the outside, but even its essence is like two different worlds!

"Lyman, get to work!"

Just when Nicole was silent, a voice sounded.

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man who was wearing the same light clothes but was much more sophisticated than the others rushing over.

"They are not who you think they are, leave it to me."

"Yes, Mr. Orr!"

After sending this ignorant young man away, this middle-aged man stepped forward and introduced himself:

"My lords, I am Al, the chief engineer of this ship."

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

The chief engineer is the chief technical person in charge of a ship. Together with the captain, he manages the world on the deck and the world in the engine room. He is definitely one of the top levels of authority on the entire ship.

So when faced with Orr's self-introduction, Nicole straightened her stance and then told her purpose:

"Mr. Chief Engineer, it's like this-"

"A murder just occurred in the cabin above. We followed the murderer's trail all the way here."

"Murder case? The murderer is here?" The chief engineer's expression was obviously unbelieving, "Our management here is very strict, and no outsider can sneak in!"

"Please let us check." Faced with the chief engineer's denial, Nicole did not give in and even took a step forward, "I promise it will not affect your work."

"Now, get out of my way."

As a powerful person on the ship, the chief engineer subconsciously refused the little girl's request.

But he is the chief engineer after all.

His eyes swept over Nicole in front of him. When he saw the brooch symbolizing the ace investigator, the rejection in the chief engineer's eyes disappeared completely.

He immediately turned sideways to get out of the way and said at the same time:

"In that case, please let me follow."

"I am familiar with everything in the cabin and can also help you with your work."

Seeing the change in the chief engineer's attitude, Nicole naturally nodded in response:

"Then please."

Next, Ronald and the chief engineer followed Nicole through the cabin.

They did not go to the spindle room where the propeller was installed. Instead, under the guidance of the magic, they advanced to the location of the steam turbine. Hundreds of coal furnaces work here day and night to drive the core power of the entire ship.

So when they arrived here, the chief engineer immediately spoke:

"Miss Investigator, this is one of the most important places in the cabin, and it is also the place with the strictest management."

"I know you take murder cases very seriously, but there really is no way there is a murderer here."

Nicole shook her head at the chief engineer with a serious face.

Then she pointed to a worker in front who was working hard and sweating profusely, and then said to Ronald next to her:

"That's him, Ronald."

"Your spell is suitable for catching people, please help me."

Ronald had no problem with that.

Because in his emotional perception system, this worker is indeed not quite right. But because Nicole was the one leading the arrest, he didn't take action immediately.

When Nicole spoke like this, of course he stretched out his hand.

brush--

The thin worker flew up upside down.

He was completely unable to resist Ronald's spell, just like a quail being picked up by Ronald.

Then he looked at Ronald who had caught him. This guy with a dirty face showed a flattering smile:

"It turns out it's you, who I thought you were, it just scared me!"

"Mr. Ronald, we are our own people!"
