Mystic Dominator

Ronald and Nicole went through three watertight doors in a row.

​​

After nearly 100 meters of straight ahead, they were already quite far from where they started.

​​

So, after properly closing the third watertight door.

​​

Ronald sensed the movement of the personnel above, 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 the word 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 job as an investigator.

​​

So Ronald didn't interfere, just nodded his head to show his understanding:

​​

"Then I'll listen to you."

​​

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

​​

When Nicole stepped forward, her eyebrows were wrinkled - she didn't open the security door.

​​

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

​​

Muttering something in a low voice, Nicole exerted strength on her hand.

​​

This time, with the sound of a 'pop', the security door in front of them was opened smoothly.

​​

In the rear, a heat wave rushed directly to the faces of the two of them. This was not because the murderer was using a magic attack from behind, but the air behind was higher than here.

​​

Ronald explained to Nicole just right:

​​

"The front is the cabin area, and the temperature is very high."

​​

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

​​

Nicole immediately cast a surprised look at Ronald.

​​

"Ronald, how come you know everything?"

​​

"This kind of ship was obviously built and put into use in recent years. I, even many old sailors, don't know these things, right?"

​​

Of course, Ronald has never seen these things in this world, but these are all knowledge 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 know."

​​

"Forgive me." Nicole immediately gave up her curiosity. "In order to revitalize the school, I have to study magic in the only time I have to work. If you add reading, it's really terrible."

​​

Continuing inward, the sound from the cabin gradually became louder.

​​

This is the world below the ship, where the huge steam engine runs, and there are a large number of workers who maintain their work day and night here. With the huge sound of the turbine operating, the entire environment is like a steel cave in another world.

​​

However, Ronald and Nicole really liked this kind of scene.

​​

They had just walked in the dark, empty tunnel. Now that they entered the human world, they felt a lot more comfortable under the light of fire and electric lights.

​​

"You two, this is the 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 is very dangerous to walk around casually, and it may even cause problems with the whole ship!"

​​

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

​​

The other party did not recognize her identity as an investigator, and only regarded them as passengers who came here out of curiosity.

​​

The world above the deck.

​​

This is absolutely impossible.

​​

This place not only looks completely different from the outside, but even the essence of it is really like two worlds!

​​

"Lyman, go to work!"

​​

Just when Nicole was silent, a voice sounded.

When he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man who was equally lightly dressed, but was more careful than the others, rushing over.

​​

"They're not the people you think, leave them to me."

​​

"Yes, Mr. Orr!"

​​

Sending away this ignorant young man, this middle-aged talent came forward to introduce himself:

​​

"Two adults, I am Or, the chief engineer of this ship."

​​

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

​​

The chief engineer is the chief technical officer of a ship, and with the captain, he manages the world on the deck and the world in the engine room, and is definitely one of the top powers of the entire ship.

​​

So in the face of Orr's self-introduction, Nicole also straightened her posture, and then told her purpose:

​​

"Mr. Chief Engineer, it's like this—"

​​

"There was a murder in the upper cabin just now. We followed the murderer's trail and tracked it all the way here."

​​

"Murder case? The murderer is here?" The Chief Engineer's expression was obviously disbelieving, "Our management here is very strict, and it is impossible for any outsider to sneak in!"

​​

"Please let us check." In the face of the chief engineer's denial, Nicole did not give in, and even took the initiative to step forward, "I promise that it will not affect your work."

​​

"Now, get out of the way for me."

​​

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

​​

But he was the chief engineer after all.

​​

His eyes swept across 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 stepped aside and said at the same time:

​​

"In that case, please let me follow."

​​

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

​​

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

​​

"Then please."

​​

Next, Ronald and the chief engineer followed behind Nicole in the cabin.

​​

They did not go to the main shaft room where the propeller was installed, but under the guidance of magic, they went all the way to the location of the steam turbine. Hundreds of coal furnaces work day and night here 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 that you take murder very seriously, but there really cannot be a murderer here."

​​

Nicole shook her head at the Chief Engineer with a serious face.

​​

Then she pointed to a worker who was working hard and was sweating profusely, and said to Ronald next to him:

​​

"It's him, Ronald."

​​

"Your spell is suitable for arresting people, please help."

​​

Ronald has no objection to this.

​​

Because in his emotional perception system, this worker is indeed not quite right. It was only because Nicole was the one who led the arrest work, that he didn't take action immediately.

​​

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

​​

brush-

​​

The thin worker flew upside down.

​​

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

​​

Then looking at Ronald who grabbed him, this guy with a dirty face, showed a flattering smile:

​​

"It turned out to be you, I thought who it was, just startled me!"

​​

"Mr. Ronald, we are our own!"
