Very soon, the fainted people slowly regained consciousness.
Adam coughed, drawing everyone’s attention.
"That black infant has been destroyed by me, so everyone needn’t worry, however, its appearance was due to someone setting up a ritual at the bottom of the ship’s hold."
Saying this, Adam coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, his aura erupting. "Therefore, someone was helping that evil entity descend, and it is highly likely it’s someone sitting right here, if any of you noticed clues, you can tell me!"
Everyone’s expressions changed, they knew Adam was telling the truth, that black infant Soul Devourer had truly been destroyed by him, however, his words also filled their hearts with terror.
To think someone secretly helped an evil entity descend, how could they dare trust the people around them now?
For a time, the ferry fell into eerie silence, everyone was lost in their own thoughts, and the atmosphere became oppressive.
Watching the crowd’s reaction, Adam felt helpless, he knew this was a clumsy method, but he had no choice, he couldn’t be certain who was pulling the strings, so he could only do this, especially since he would be leaving this ferry very soon.
"I know who it is!" A voice broke the silence, everyone looked over and saw a burly middle-aged man step forward, his face full of anger.
"Oh? You know? Let’s hear it!" Adam looked at him, a gleam flashing in his eyes, he could sense that this man wasn’t lying, he must really know something.
"Young Master, it’s the ferry owner! This was all secretly arranged by the owner, one night, when I got up to use the restroom, I saw the owner heading toward the bottom hold."
"As the owner, he wouldn’t go down there for no reason!" The middle-aged man took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and recounted what he had seen.
"Bullshit! When have I ever gone to the bottom hold?" A lavishly dressed man wearing large gold rings on his stubby fingers suddenly stood up, with a terrified gaze, he pointed at the middle-aged man.
"Well aren’t you something, framing me like this? I never should have hired you on this ship!"
He immediately looked at Adam, his face full of panic and flattery. "Young Master, I am absolutely not the one who set up the ritual! I have massive wealth and live a carefree life, why would I work for an Evil Entity? You must not believe that guy, he’s terribly wicked!"
Adam looked at the ferry owner but didn’t believe him much, if the other party was a servant of an Evil God, telling a few lies would be a breeze, however, he didn’t attack directly, without evidence, he couldn’t just kill people arbitrarily.
"Alright, I know who it is!" Adam said calmly, then looked at Cecilia.
"Cecilia, do it!"
Cecilia brought out a formation disc.
"This is a Lie Detector Formation Disc, if you lie, you will be struck by lightning!" She threw the disc at the ferry owner’s feet, and the formation light flared up.
"Did you set up the Evil God ritual?" Cecilia asked directly.
"I didn’t! Absolutely not!" the ferry owner replied immediately.
No lightning struck, it was the truth.
Adam narrowed his eyes, this formation disc would work even against an expert at the Ninth Heaven of the Deity Realm because he had incorporated the aura of the Primal Chaotic Azure Lotus, its tier provided absolute suppression over the soul, it was impossible for the ferry owner to have reached the Saint Realm.
Of course, it was also possible the Evil God had helped him.
"Cecilia, try it on that crew member!"
Cecilia controlled the disc to fly to the crew member’s feet. "Did you falsely accuse the captain?"
"No, I didn’t!"
Still no lightning, the truth.
Adam narrowed his eyes, since both were telling the truth, it was quite strange, he shifted his gaze back to the captain, as captain, he logically had more space and resources to set up such rituals.
"Young Master, I’ll speak! That night, I actually went to the bottom hold for a secret rendezvous." After saying that, the captain pulled up a beautiful woman standing next to a man in the crowd.
"It was her!"
Everyone was shocked, not to mention her husband standing right beside her, whose face was full of utter confusion.
Was there a mistake? This was his wife! And you just pulled her up like that? Where was his dignity supposed to go?
"Oh dear, what are you doing!" The beautiful woman felt ashamed under everyone’s gazes.
Cecilia’s mouth twitched, she placed the formation disc at their feet, asked again, and confirmed the captain was telling the truth, things fell into a deadlock once again.
"Stop wasting your energy, the person who set up the ritual is already dead!" Suddenly, a young girl’s voice rang out in Adam’s mind.
He looked over in surprise and found it was that thief girl.
"How would you know?" he replied via telepathy.
"Because I saw it, I’m a thief, after all, and I like to stroll around the ship when I have nothing to do, as for the details, you have to promise me one condition before I tell you!" The girl’s beautiful eyes sparkled brightly.
"You have to promise me one condition before I tell you!" she added.
"Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult, it will be extremely simple for you." She spoke quickly, seemingly worried Adam wouldn’t agree.
"Alright, speak, what condition?" Adam replied.
"Take me with you, I want to go with you guys!" the girl said without hesitation.
Adam was taken aback, he had too many secrets, it was impossible to let an outsider tag along. "No, change the condition!"
"Why? I won’t even ask you to feed me or give me anything to drink, having a beautiful girl like me following you, am I not prettier than that maid beside you?" The girl furrowed her delicate brows in confusion.
"No, change the condition, I can have the captain let you go, and you can go wherever you want after this!" Adam remained unmoved.
