"It was a missing cruise ship that had yet to be determined what kind of monster it was!"
Schmidt corrected Kieran's mistake. ≧,
He then told Kieran more detailed information.
"The Sunshine Mary left the East Coast in June of E Year. Its original destination was Hologest Port on the West Coast. It had been sailing for four and a half weeks, but by the fifth week, it had still not shown up. People started looking for it when they realized something was wrong, but it was useless in front of the sea.
The search lasted for a year, and in August of E Year, the government at the time announced that the Sunshine Mary, including all 400 people on board, had been lost.
I went through the newspapers that were left behind. Even though the government had already given up on the search, the families of the missing did not give up.
After that, the search went on for another 10 to 20 years. No one knew what had happened.
"However, there was a piece of information recorded in the entertainment news. A shaman who was infamous at the time said that he had encountered the crew and passengers of the Sunshine Mary, and that they were suffering …"
"Of course, it was later proven that the shaman was a liar!
It was different from you and Rei! "
Kieran couldn't help but shrug at Schmidt's words.
Naturally, Rei was a genuine shaman.
Kieran?
Although he was not a fake, he was only a little bit close to it.
At least he was able to see spirit creatures and solve some of the problems that had arisen.
"Could it have met with some kind of accident back then?
You know how heartless the sea is! "
Kieran did not want to linger on this awkward topic for too long, so he asked for more information.
"That month, there were no big storms. It was sunny and sunny, which was the perfect time for it to appear. In fact, that was the reason why the Sunshine Mary left the port.
It was a luxurious cruise ship that catered to the rich, so it was impossible for it not to have noticed.
The security on board was top-notch in terms of manpower and weapons, so it was impossible for it to have run into pirates or something like that! "
Schmidt said with certainty.
"Fine then.
Can you tell me what it looked like when it reappeared?
It's been more than a hundred years. I'm curious how it hasn't sunk yet! "
Kieran asked.
"I'm more curious than you!"
"A week ago, on the morning of the 13th, this cruise ship appeared on the golden beach of the West Coast!"
"The manager of the beach took some of his employees to board the Sunshine Mary. They never returned. Then, Boller and I showed up. We …"
"Wait!"
"You mean Boyle?"
Kieran interrupted him.
"Yes!"
"After the five youths under his care passed away due to the backlash of spellcasting, he joined my Special Operations Unit to divert attention. He's much more useful than my original people."
In fact, the fact that I am still able to stay in the Special Operations Division and hold the position of team leader is also because of Boller! "
"Didn't Simones and Jones tell you?"
Schmidt asked.
"That's why I said that I need to have a good rest and catch up with everyone! Otherwise, I wouldn't even know what happened! "
Kieran pretended to sigh helplessly.
"But the problem is that Boller is missing!
After we boarded the Sunshine Mary, I fainted before I could search the ship. When I woke up, I was already under the ship, and Boller was nowhere to be found!
At the same time, I, and everyone else, couldn't get close to the ship anymore!
An invisible force is stopping us. Bullets, explosives, and cannons are all useless. I need someone more professional to help me get back to the Sunshine Mary!
"At least, I have to find my partner!"
Schmidt said in a serious tone.
"Boller is missing?"
Kieran frowned.
Kieran's impression of Boller was that he was a potioneering apothecary who had entered the Hatch Heresy with a hidden agenda.
He couldn't think of anything else other than that.
That didn't stop him from accepting the Sub Mission though.
[Sub Mission Unlocked: Ghost Cruise Ship]
[Ghost Cruise Ship: The Sunshine Mary, which disappeared 124 years ago, has reappeared in the public eye. No one knows what happened to it during that voyage, and no one knows what happened in the past 124 years. Schmidt's request for help tells you that you need to find Boller!]
[Note: If the secret of the Sunshine Mary can be uncovered, your dungeon rating will be greatly increased]
...
"Greatly increased dungeon rating?"
Kieran squinted his eyes when he saw the notification.
No matter how he looked at it, he could tell that the Sunshine Mary was not an ordinary ship.
According to the rules of the underground game, such a huge increase in dungeon rating would be extremely dangerous.
Kieran thought about the dungeon rating increase he had experienced before.
Kieran sighed in his heart.
However, Kieran's curiosity was piqued.
"Is it hiding a secret?"
Kieran mumbled in his heart.
Fortunately, Kieran wasn't a person who would ruin his plans out of curiosity.
Driving Simones's Picard, Kieran drove into Ciaran Street.
Ciaran Street hadn't changed much compared to two years ago.
It was still a street where the middle and lower class families gathered.
The only difference was that there were fewer police officers patrolling the streets.
"I hate to say it, but because of the Cursed Society, this place is a lot safer than before. Any thief knows that the Cursed Society is not to be messed with!"
Schmidt explained with a sigh, as if he had seen through Kieran's doubts.
"Still, I'm grateful that you killed them, including the Flaming Hounds, the Muller Society, and the Sico Society at the train station!
They will try their best to fortify their base, but they won't mind destroying the places where other organizations are. In the past year, the death rate of accidents on the West Coast has increased by 200%, and the crime rate has increased by 300%. I can assure you, the real number is even higher than that!
It's just that it's all covered up by those bastards who don't do anything!
These mystical maggots are also very smart. They won't go after the real rich and powerful. They might even be willing to provide some services to those big shots … "
"Damn it!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and cursed out loud.
Judging from Schmidt's reaction, Kieran had a general idea of what was going on.
He was a big shot, after all, and there were always some things that he couldn't handle personally. Therefore, it would be great if he could have a chamber pot as well.
As for the Sico Society that Schmidt had mentioned?
Kieran's memory was still fresh.
It wasn't because it was his first battle in this dungeon world, but because it had dropped a decent magical ring.
[Name: Puppet Illusion Ring]
[Type: Accessory]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attributes: Puppet Illusion]
[Effects: None]
[Prerequisites: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remarks: Real and fake, you won't be able to tell!]
...
[Puppet Illusion: Create a puppet illusion in a 10-meter radius that has no attack power, is immobile, and is unable to communicate. (After being attacked, the puppet illusion will not disappear. It will endure the attack and change accordingly until the puppet illusion reaches its limit. Lasts 10 seconds, once per day]
...
The [Puppet Illusion Ring] on Kieran's left middle finger had a wooden feel to it. There were some small black swirling patterns on it, making it look inconspicuous.
However, the effect was outstanding.
During the battle at 1st Black Street, if it hadn't been for the puppet illusion, Kieran would have had to spend a lot of effort to defeat those bastards.
After all, if he couldn't deal with the melee combatants quickly and allowed the spellcasters to finish their incantations, Kieran couldn't guarantee that he could survive with the [Primus Scale].
Screech!
The Picard screeched to a halt in front of a two-and-a-half-story building.
Schmidt came down from the Picard and stood aside, waiting for Kieran to go up to him.
As the leader of the Spec Operation Division, he had been involved in more than one mystical incident, so he knew the importance of not touching any mystical person's belongings.
This was especially true when he barged into the other party's house without saying a word.
Kieran smiled and went up to check on the house.
However, when he saw the marks on the door, his face turned ugly.
Someone was one step ahead of them!
