Chapter 1229 - 1228: Hijacking

As he spoke, Lu Yu's voice was unusually deep, and he glanced at the churning sea of clouds outside the window before speaking in a low voice, his words filled with a sense of indifference.

When working for the Assassin Alliance, Lu Yu had taken various types of planes and encountered numerous emergencies. He was extremely familiar with the situations one might encounter in the air.

So, from the moment the plane started to shake, Lu Yu could distinctly tell that the recent turbulence wasn't caused by an air current but rather by a sudden change in the plane's course!

This kind of change is very subtle; those who don't understand it often mistake it for turbulence, but those familiar with it can clearly see that the turbulence only occurs when the plane changes its course.

This was something Lu Yu initially noticed first, but to his slight surprise, Leng Qingqiu was also able to notice it.

Ordinary people, without an understanding of planes, would have mistaken the situation earlier for an encounter with an updraft and wouldn't have realized the plane was changing direction.

Leng Qingqiu, however, had been staring out the window constantly, making her particularly sensitive to the outside environment.

At first, when the plane shook, Leng Qingqiu also thought it was due to an updraft.

But after the turbulence, when she looked out the window, she found the scenery was gradually getting further away. In that instant, Leng Qingqiu knew the plane's course had changed.

Thus, Leng Qingqiu immediately informed Lu Yu, wanting to know how he would handle the situation.

"So..."

Thinking of this, Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Yu in front of her and said, "What do you plan to do?"

"Stay calm, let's first find out what's going on."

Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu spoke in a low voice, his expression calm as if he didn't know the plane had changed its course.

"Stay calm?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu's expression changed slightly. She looked at Lu Yu in front of her and said, "Lu Yu, haven't you realized what's happening? My plane has deviated from its course. If it's a temporary change in the flight path, that's still fine..."

Pausing slightly at this, Leng Qingqiu continued, "But if we've been hijacked, the consequences are truly unimaginable."

Her words carried a deep and serious tone, as she had realized the gravity of the situation, prompting her to say this to Lu Yu.

"Hijacked?"

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the group of passengers in front of him. He then said, "What do you think will happen if we're hijacked and the passengers panic at the same time?"

As he spoke, a hint of a smile appeared on Lu Yu's lips.

At this, Leng Qing's body tensed, and she turned around to look at the surroundings. She noticed that although the passengers around were resting, they had started to awaken slightly due to the earlier turbulence. A louder voice from Leng Qingqiu could cause everyone to hear.

These passengers were ordinary people without Lu Yu's mental fortitude. If they learned of the hijacking, it would immediately cause great panic.

At that point, the scene would become incredibly chaotic and even harder to control!

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu immediately realized the severity of the situation. She looked at Lu Yu in front of her and said, "In that case, what should we do now?"

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu wanted to see how Lu Yu planned to handle this situation.

"Pretend to be asleep for now."

Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu casually said, "I will go to the control room to check the situation."

Since the plane suddenly changed course, this was enough to indicate that something was wrong with the plane's control room. Lu Yu intended to first confirm the situation before making a decision.

After all, it was necessary to clearly ascertain what exactly was happening in this matter.

"Alright."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, remember not to wake the other passengers. Try to maintain the current calm; once they learn the truth, it will only make things more chaotic."

As he spoke, Lu Yu said, his words filled with a deep tone.

Most crowds are just like flocks of sheep; in the face of danger, only a very few can remain calm. Most will panic just like a flock attacked by wolves.

"No problem."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded and then spoke. Now, for some reason, she no longer felt any resistance to Lu Yu's words.

Leng Qingqiu also realized this point now.

In times of chaos, most people will scream and shout, making the scene even more chaotic, so at this moment, these passengers maintaining calmness is the greatest help.

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded. He slowly turned and walked out of the first-class cabin, closing the cabin door behind him, and headed for the cockpit. Lu Yu now wanted to understand what exactly was happening in the plane's cockpit...

Since the first-class cabin was at the front of the passenger cabin, it was closest to the plane's cockpit, so Lu Yu was at the door of the control room after just a couple of steps.

In front of the plane's control room door, the chief flight attendant was standing without moving, giving an extremely silent impression.

"Chief attendant?"

Seeing the stance of the chief attendant, Lu Yu's heart moved slightly. He then opened his mouth, full of inquiry.

But as soon as Lu Yu spoke, the chief attendant in front of him remained unresponsive, as if he were a wooden stake, motionless.

Something is wrong!

Seeing this scene, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Despite being at such close proximity and calling out, the chief attendant showed no response. If nothing else, this chief attendant was already deceased!

Thinking this, Lu Yu slowly walked toward the chief attendant, his steps steady, making no sound as he approached.

However, as Lu Yu slowly approached the chief attendant, a transparent object slowly began to move behind him, creeping toward his back.
