Chapter 464: Chapter 460: The Mysterious Masked Woman

"Hey! Ling Chen, I heard from Zhou Jun that you have a duel to the death tomorrow?"

Ling Chen nodded.

"Are you up for it, man? Don’t make me bring your corpse back. What am I supposed to tell your future wife if she asks?"

Annoyed, Ling Chen cursed: "To hell with you, shut your damn mouth." After speaking, Ling Chen glanced at the laptop in front of Hu Fei, a thought suddenly striking him, and asked: "Fatty, is your computer connected to the ship’s system?"

"Yeah."

"So you can pull up the ship’s surveillance, right?"

"Nonsense, of course I can."

"Fine, leave the computer behind, and you can piss off." Saying that, Ling Chen grabbed Hu Fei and gave him a kick on the butt, shoving him towards the door.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Hu Fei yelled while covering his butt: "Damn it! You’re not planning to spy on the beauties on the ship, are you? Just wait, I’ll definitely tell your future wife when we get back."

"Get lost." Ling Chen laughed and scolded.

After Hu Fei left, Ling Chen sat alone on the sofa, switched on the laptop, and pulled up all the surveillance from the ship.

Although Hu Fei’s parting words were a joke, Ling Chen was indeed looking for a beautiful woman. After pulling up the deck’s surveillance, it didn’t take long for Ling Chen to find the cabin door with the warning sign.

Initially, it was there he had met Tea Girl. He was very curious about this woman. He clearly remembered seeing her, but could not recall her face at all, simply unable to remember what she looked like. When he was alone with Tea Girl, she had made him a cup of tea. He suspected that it was due to that cup of tea that he had forgotten Tea Girl’s appearance.

Thus, he became very interested in Tea Girl’s identity. He was eager to know what role this woman played within the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Unfortunately, Ling Chen only found a camera pointing at the cabin door, and since there were no cameras inside the cabin, it was impossible to know what was happening there.

At that moment, someone appeared on the surveillance screen, more precisely, a masked woman.

As the sky was dark and the woman was facing sideways to the camera, Ling Chen could only see the side profile of her face. However, he vaguely felt a sense of familiarity towards this woman.

If he remembered correctly, he had never seen this woman during his many days on the ship. As there were fewer women attending the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony, Ling Chen would have a strong impression of any woman appearing on the ship.

As he watched the masked woman enter the cabin door, Ling Chen’s eyes glued to the surveillance screen, waiting for her to reappear.

As expected, a few minutes later, the cabin door opened, and the masked woman walked out alone, standing outside the door, looking around as if observing something. Ling Chen watched her intently, trying to figure out her destination.

But then, something incredible happened.

The masked woman lightly touched her toes to the ground and, light as a feather, quickly swept upwards along the side of the ship, disappearing in a blink.

After a brief moment of shock, Ling Chen quickly recovered and began frantically typing on the keyboard, pulling up the other surveillance cameras. Soon, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow.

However, that shadow moved very fast, and Ling Chen’s eyes meticulously searched through the dozens of minimized surveillance screens. Finally, he locked onto that shadow in one of the screens. However, the shadow only remained in his view for two seconds before disappearing through a window.

"Where do you think you can run to!"

Ling Chen tapped the keyboard methodically, bringing up the location of the surveillance.

Sixth floor?

Ling Chen held his chin with one hand, a thoughtful expression on his face.

As far as he knew, the sixth floor of this luxury behemoth seemed to be the engine room, uninhabited. After some thought, Ling Chen decided to go there himself and investigate.

Leaving the room, Ling Chen exited the floor and then took the elevator to the fifth floor. Since the sixth floor was the engine room, only the ship’s staff could access it with a card. Outsiders couldn’t get in.

Standing by the window on the fifth floor, Ling Chen looked around to make sure no one was around, then he instantly climbed out of the window, grabbed onto the outer side of the ship, and rapidly ascended using the protrusions on the surface. Soon, he arrived in front of the sixth floor window.

Looking at the surveillance camera less than ten meters from the window, Ling Chen’s lips curled up slightly. The masked woman had just climbed in through this window.

Seizing the moment, Ling Chen glanced at the bottom, from the deck to the sixth-floor window was about sixteen or seventeen meters — that masked woman must be extremely skilled to climb up so effortlessly.

With this thought, Ling Chen couldn’t help but worry. If a conflict arose later, what if he couldn’t defeat his opponent?

Hesitating for a moment, Ling Chen slapped his forehead, shook off the distracting thoughts, and directly climbed through the window.

Inside the sixth floor engine room were various types of equipment. Although the lights weren’t on, the built-in lights of the equipment were enough for Ling Chen to see his surroundings clearly.

Walking through the quiet engine room, Ling Chen was very careful with his steps, afraid of being discovered by the masked woman.

Passing equipment arranged along the wall, a door appeared in Ling Chen’s view. The door was located in the northeast corner of the engine room, and the light seeping from under the door indicated that someone was inside.

So, the masked woman lives here.

Ling Chen tiptoed to the door, body pressed against the wall, then he placed his ear against the door to eavesdrop on any sounds inside.

After more than ten seconds, the room remained eerily silent, not sounding like someone was living there.

At that moment, Ling Chen mustered his courage, grabbed the doorknob, and gently pushed open the door. As a sliver of a gap appeared, he stealthily peeked inside, only seeing a few simple decorations.

No one?

Ling Chen pushed the door slightly wider and then peeked his head through the gap. However, as he did, a force suddenly came from behind the door. Caught off guard, before Ling Chen could retract his head, it was trapped in the gap, his neck jammed by the doorframe, making it impossible for him to move forward or backward.

Only then did Ling Chen realize, the masked woman had already discovered him and had been hiding behind the door all along.

"Is it you?"

Seeing Ling Chen, the masked woman was taken aback and quickly released her hand from the door, freeing Ling Chen’s head from the gap.

"What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Ling Chen, rubbing his sore neck, heard the slightly angry voice of the masked woman. His expression stunned, he stared into the eyes of the masked woman and exclaimed in surprise, "You are... porridge girl?"
