Salacious

In the dark night sky, a spherical object the size of a balloon seemed to defy gravity, remaining constant in the air. It had a metallic, round outer shell with spherical glass beads embedded within, like the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings, silently overlooking everything below.

Denki Kaminari removed the monitor glasses from his face and quickly turned around, shouting with some indignation.

"Jilan, what do we do? That guy said something to the captain, and now the captain is following his orders?!"

The glasses in Kaminari's hand are from Ueno's cutting-edge technology. They can remotely control the pupil in the sky and observe everything happening outside his line of sight through them.

Ueno used this advanced technology on Jilan during their first meeting, attempting to track Jilan and obtain private information. However, Jilan discovered Jilan and instead used her eyes to locate her hiding place in Tsukimi Machi.

It's impossible for a cold, wingless machine to stay still in the air; this spectacle was only possible thanks to Tsukimi Machi's Quirk "Force Solidification" technique.

Come to think of it, wasn't it this Nakiri- san who made Ueno and the others follow him in the first place? Jilan turned his head and glanced at her.

Erina Nakiri noticed Jilan's gaze, but smiled as if she hadn't noticed anything, and then became lost in thought again, "Hmm, I thought the captain might be going up against that terrorist, but I didn't expect that they've formed a united front. Could it be that they know each other, or was the captain deceived?"

"Very likely," Jilan continued, "The captain was there the whole time the whale appeared on deck, and he never went into the cabin once. He even entrusted me to deliver the message. It's understandable that he didn't know the other party was a terrorist."

"That despicable guy! He actually deceived the captain's feelings!" Minoru Mineta yelled, clutching his head, and jumped up, suggesting, "How about we go tell the captain the truth now? Sergeant, didn't you talk to the captain before? He'll believe you!"

Minoru Mineta had met the captain a few times during his short stint as an employee and greatly admired his capable and forthright personality, but he never expected that he would...

"Unlikely." Nakiri his head calmly, arms crossed. "Since both sides have reached a consensus, breaking up their alliance requires decisive evidence. You can't just accuse them of being terrorists without proof. Anyone with a sound mind will widen their eyes and say, 'How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?'"

Minoru Mineta's face turned purple. "What innocence? We saw with our own eyes him leading his men to blockade the ship's vital routes and even having his men beat people!"

"Self-defense? That's called legitimate self-defense. Without surveillance footage, who would admit to it?" Kaminari said with a droopy face, unwilling to give up. "The ship's electronic equipment is all malfunctioning. We have absolutely no evidence now!"

Ueno's high-tech eyeball is still functioning normally, but the memory card is damaged, just like the periscope of a submarine, it can only see but cannot store.

"And there's another serious problem. Even if the captain believes us, we'd have to reveal our true identities to prove it, which would eliminate our advantage of operating in the shadows, and might even affect U.A. High School."

Jilan's last words shattered Minoru Mineta's expectations. He asked dejectedly, "So now all we can do is wait, wait for the whale to go berserk?"

Nakiri said confidently, "No need. If I'm not mistaken, the other side might create a good opportunity for us. That opportunity will come very soon."

Suddenly, Kaminari, who was in charge of observation, shouted excitedly, "Everyone, the enemy has made a move!"

"I told you so?" Nakiri chuckled at Jilan, took Kaminari a few times, her face suddenly flushed, and she immediately tossed them back to Jilan as if she were disgusted. Although they weren't very noticeable under the light, Jilan still noticed them.

What happened? Jilan pondered, and just as she was about to take it, Minoru Mineta seized the opportunity and snatched it away.

Then, Minoru Mineta, his face flushed a deep purple with excitement, shouted like a ripe Grape, "These guys, these guys know so much, don't they?!"

What exactly did Dark Shadow do? Jilan became curious and forcibly snatched the glasses from Minoru Mineta's hand.

Then, he was speechless.

The girl was covered in a fishy smell, her body soaked in a sticky, colorless liquid. Her close-fitting clothes revealed her slender, even frail, figure. The rain gradually subsided, and the bright moon shone through the clouds, casting its cool light on the girl in the darkness.

This was a beautiful sight in itself, but the scent emanating from the girl was too stimulating for the Werewolf, making them reluctant to approach.

"I'm still a minor! Your actions are seriously harming my physical and mental health and are illegal!" Toga shouted. "You will be punished by law sooner or later!"

"Stop being so dramatic. It's just that you're covered in fish fluid, not that you're a walking corpse. What's the big deal?" Alain picked at his ear. "I gave you a chance to escape. Whether you take it or not is up to you. After all, I'm not a demon. I can't bring myself to hurt a little girl like you."

"But what's the difference between the opportunity you're giving me and sending me to my death?!" Toga screamed from the mast above the deck.

Toga's feet were planted on the cylindrical mast, and the ropes binding her hands had been untied. She gripped the log tightly with both hands, not daring to take another step forward.

Generally speaking, whales are not highly aggressive species and do not randomly attack and eat humans. They only need to eat creatures like octopus and squid to fill their stomachs.

That's enough. But that's for a sperm whale of average size.

This whale is far larger than an ordinary whale, and the amount of food it needs to consume is undoubtedly astronomical. Moreover, the whale has been stranded for a long time, and its feeding season should have arrived long ago. Perhaps its current frenzy is due to a lack of sufficient food.

Alain's plan can be summarized in one sentence: use someone as bait to lure the hungry whale back into the sea. For this, a suitable person is needed to act as bait.

Since the whale is not interested in humans, let's confuse it, make it think that the person in front of it is a fish of a special size, and thus move its huge body.

Alain explained the ecology of whales from a biological perspective. It's hard to say whether Barus was convinced, but he agreed to let Alain give it a try.

"Blonde hair, beautiful women, monsters—all the elements needed for a truly awful horror movie are here!" Alain stretched out his hands as if he'd accomplished something magnificent, and burst into laughter. "Now, let's see if those intruders can even slightly polish this film!"

Not only were Jilan and his group plotting against Alain, but Alain was also plotting against these intruders.

The intruders wanted me to come to the deck, right? Fine, here I am. Why aren't they showing up yet? Since they're not showing up, then I'll make this my home turf!

You think you can lead me by the nose? No way!
