…
The reason why Irin slowly typed out a question mark after opening the "Captain's panel".
It was because there were too many things that made Irin feel strange at first glance.
First of all.
This new panel seemed to be exclusive to this trial. The format looked similar to the apostle panel.
Second.
The "curse" column.
It could actually be categorized as an attribute?
What was this?
All the women in the world would be cursed as long as they went into the sea?
But why was there a special column?
It couldn't be that the more cursed they were, the stronger they would be?
And from the data on the panel, it was not like the apostle panel which directly listed "strength", "agility", "spirit" and other attributes to determine the strength of the panel data.
"Why does it look like a traditional strategy game panel?"
Behind the mask, Irin's expression was strange.
"Enter the name first."
When Irin subconsciously entered "Elizabeth Ling" into the "name" column, a prompt popped up.
[Note: Once entered, it cannot be changed. Please confirm carefully.]
[Note: Once entered, it cannot be changed. Please confirm carefully.]
[Note: Once entered, it cannot be changed. Please confirm carefully.]
[YES NO?]
"Oh?"
Irin's heart skipped a beat. The prompt reminded three times, which meant … this prompt was very important.
“NO。”
Irin lowered his head and thought for a full ten minutes.
He went through the parts that he felt were strange three times again.
"Oh, could it be?"
Ten minutes later.
Irin smiled again.
No one realized that Irin's smile was more thought-provoking.
Enter —
"Skeleton Gentleman."
The warm little butler "Tower" reminded him three times again.
This time, Irin pressed "YES" without hesitation.
The name was finally confirmed by Irin.
He had not adopted the official title of "The Enigmatic Gentleman," for the Irin considered it to be incompatible with the tone of this world, and had therefore altered it slightly.
Yi Lin had always been very confident about her taste in naming things.
Next was the flag.
According to the Lady Boss, the flag was the symbol of a pirate. It was the glory of an entire ship of pirates who had sworn to protect it with their lives.
Of course, none of the pirates took it seriously.
Irin pressed the key in the [Flag] column.
A blank panel appeared in front of Irin.
"Drawing?"
Irin suddenly felt a headache coming on.
He remembered that in his previous life, when he was in high school, there was a classic chat app that had the function of drawing pictures and snatching red packets. Irin was given the nickname "Soul Artist".
If the flag was too handsome, it would undoubtedly attract the envy of countless pirates.
If the flag was too ugly, it would not be able to intimidate the other pirates who were observing the flag with their binoculars.
— — That was quite difficult.
Yi Lin's fingers touched the whiteboard through the air.
He suddenly realized that the whiteboard could not be manipulated by fingers. Instead, he could imagine the corresponding image in his mind and then project it onto the whiteboard to form the symbol of the "flag".
Yi Lin silently gave him a thumbs up.
Then he began to work on the flag.
…
"Hey ~ Let's change course ~ Raise the flag ~ Pull ~ Thieves and beggars ~ We will never die ~"
Ten minutes ago, Charlie's eyes widened as he watched the three beautiful girls in disheveled clothes stagger across the deck.
Looking at the white and dark figure, Charlie spent a lot of time before he reluctantly moved his gaze away and escorted the three black and white partners off the ship.
Of course, during the escort process, some physical contact was inevitable.
He suddenly thought of the skinny thief.
"Hey, how dare you disturb Captain Andre's mood. Don't you know how fast our Captain's knife is?"
"That's a knife that can easily split a barrel in half!"
Charlie estimated that the time was almost up.
Captain Andre had a hobby. When he was in a bad mood, he liked to do some indescribable things to corpses.
Charlie didn't want to be unlucky again.
But after the Captain vented his anger, as long as the witty Charlie helped Captain Andre clean up the room, maybe he could get two more bottles of high-quality rum tomorrow?
Charlie carried the mop and happily walked into the Captain's room.
As he walked, he happily hummed a pirate's ballad.
"Hmm?"
He took a closer look.
Charlie was slightly taken aback.
His eyes widened.
"Why didn't Captain Andre close the door? Is it that exciting? "
It was quiet inside the door.
The movement he imagined didn't leak out from the crack of the door.
After Charlie struggled for a while, he decided to take a peek. Just one peek was enough.
Ka.
Just as Charlie opened the crack of the door and was able to reveal half of his head, a knife silently extended from the crack of the door and gently pressed against Charlie's neck.
“！”
The hand that was holding the knife was wearing a pair of spotlessly white gloves that were spotless.
Irin opened the door.
He fixed his gaze on Charlie for a few seconds.
"Oh? So this is the so-called … 'Captain's insight'? Hehe, interesting. "
In Irin's eyes.
The attributes of "Crew member Charlie" were presented in the form of a data panel in front of Irin.
…
[Charlie]
[Occupation] Crew member
[Combat power] E
[Dexterity] D +
[Luck] D +
[Loyalty] -10 (Betrayal at any time)
[Curse] None
[Ability] Master of Mop (Beginner)
[Affiliation] The Queen
…
Because there was no comparison.
Irin also found it hard to understand what kind of realm this combat power "E" was.
As for loyalty … Could it be negative?
At this moment, should he say, "You are indeed a qualified pirate?"
But it didn't matter. Irin wasn't naive enough to think that Charlie would be loyal to a "new Captain" like him.
Irin laughed. His laughter was warm like the warm sun in the dark night, "Loyal Charlie, I'll give you a chance to live …"
Before he finished his sentence.
Charlie's eyes were sharp. He had already seen the naked body in the room through the crack of the door. Charlie was very familiar with the shape of the body and understood everything in an instant.
Plop.
Charlie suddenly knelt down and said without saying anything, "Long live the Captain!"
Irin: "…"
"Captain, do you need the humble and considerate Charlie to clean your room for the great Captain?"
Charlie tried to squeeze out a smile like a dog.
"… Clean it up and replace everything inside with new ones. But first, let me familiarize myself with … my ship. "
Regardless of his loyalty, Charlie's reaction speed showed that his "D +" Dexterity Value wasn't just for show.
His reaction was quite fast!
Under Charlie's lead, Irin roughly familiarized himself with the structure of the Queen. Under the deck, it was a mess. Irin was too lazy to care. If it was as clean as a five-star hotel, Irin might have suspected that he had entered the wrong place.
Andre seemed to have a hobby of collecting gadgets. Charlie brought Irin to the front of the collection room. Although there was no key, Irin used Blood Jasmine to open the door. He also found some small items that he didn't know if they were useful in Andre's collection room.
…
[Received "Accurate Copper Pocket Watch"!]
[Received "Exquisite Military Monocular"!]
[Received "Undeciphered Treasure Map"!]
[Received "Unappraised Gem"!]
[Received "Mysterious Tentacle Stem"!]
[Received "Unknown Liquid"!]
[Received "Expired Third Brother Godly Oil"!]
At the same time, he also received some local gold and silver coins.
"This Andre is quite rich, huh?" Irin nodded.
When Irin was collecting the messy items, he turned around and saw the greedy and pained expression on Charlie's face. He couldn't help but find it funny.
The light in the cabin below the deck was dim. When Charlie wasn't paying attention, Irin had already asked Bai Xiaoyi to go through the layers of wooden boards and search the entire Queen from top to bottom. Other than Andre's collection room, there were no other hidden compartments.
It seemed that the items and items mentioned above were all Andre's collection.
From the pained expression on Charlie's face, Irin could also come to this conclusion.
"It seems that in this Inner World trial, there will be a lot of messy items …"
Just the Queen alone allowed Irin to collect a hand of cards. If he collected all the items in this world, he could probably open a department store.
Of course.
Not all the items were useful. Some of the items were obviously suspicious. However, to be safe, Irin still kept them. They might come in handy one day.
After all, after the items were turned into cards, they didn't take up much space in the storage space.
After quietly putting away Bai Xiaoyi.
Charlie squeezed out a standard bootlicking smile and rubbed his palms. "Captain, this … Captain, do you have any other orders?"
"From now on, this Queen belongs to me, 'Captain Skeleton Gentleman'."
"Right, remember to hang Andre's body in a conspicuous place. Inform the other crew members to prepare all the supplies for the sea within two days and return to this ship to be on standby. If they don't return to the ship within two days, they won't be able to return to the ship ever again."
"Also, tell them that if they don't obey, Andre's body will be their end."
Charlie suddenly shivered, but his smile became more intense. He nodded desperately, afraid that this terrifying new captain would not understand his inner loyalty.
"Right!"
Suddenly, Charlie whispered, "But Captain … Skeleton Gentleman, you are wearing a mask on your face … The humble and considerate Charlie is afraid that if you take off your mask, I won't be able to recognize you …"
Irin walked to the side without turning his head. "No need. My hat is the proof of 'Skeleton Gentleman'."
"…"
"Right!" Yi Lin suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and said in a serious tone, "Remember to clean my room. Remember to wash your dirty hands and change the entire bed for me. If I smell anything strange … I'll kill you. "
“！”
Charlie was so scared that he turned his head to look at the captain's cabin that was open.
Andre's body was already cold.
He turned his head again.
On the ship, there was no longer that mysterious figure.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
At this moment.
A salty sea breeze blew.
The flag on the top of the main mast fluttered in the wind.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but when he did, the humble and considerate Charlie's legs went soft and he almost lost his balance.
At some point in time, the one-eyed skull flag that used to belong to Captain Andre had been replaced with a brand new picture.
The image of a skull wearing an elegant gentleman's hat seemed to reveal a strange smile on the fluttering flag.
…
Early morning.
"Pursuing Shadow, it is indeed a good skill."
Irin sighed in his heart.
After quietly working at the port for an entire night, Irin returned to the Fiery Rose Tavern from the back door at dawn.
On the greasy stone road, there were many drunk pirates lying haphazardly. The entire street was filled with empty rum bottles.
In fact, even if Irin didn't activate Pursuing Shadow, there were probably only a handful of pirates who were still sober at this time.
But to be safe, Irin didn't cancel the skill until he reached his room and locked the door.
After all, [Pursuing Shadow] had been upgraded to the max level, so the skill consumption was almost negligible.
It was very easy to use.
Irin also discovered that many pirates had mysteriously turned into corpses along the way. Their bodies were either riddled with bullet holes or knife wounds.
Death, disorder, chaos … … everywhere.
Although Tortuga Island was known as a pirate's paradise, it wasn't necessarily a paradise.
Irin fished out the key he had hidden in a vase by the side. He directly opened the back door and slipped in.
When he passed by Ruth's room, he discovered that the door was wide open. Not to mention a lock, it wasn't even covered.
The lady boss's room emitted a strong smell of alcohol. But perhaps because Ruth was a woman, or perhaps because the alcohol she drank was more expensive, the smell of alcohol wasn't too bad.
"She didn't even lock the door … … Indeed, possessing the 'husband jinx' attribute allows one to do as one pleases?"
Irin was speechless.
However, he didn't intend to alarm the lady boss and prepared to sneak in.
"En ~ Ling ~ Ah ~"
Just as Yi Lin passed by the open door of the Lady Boss's room, Ruth suddenly turned over, lifted the quilt, and mumbled something incoherently. It was unknown if she was dreaming or not.
Irin subconsciously glanced over.
“！”
That reflection startled Irin, but 'Elizabeth Ling' didn't feel any ripples in her heart.
"You actually didn't put on any clothes?"
Irin finally returned to his room.
Duang~
After removing his disguise, Irin finally heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he took deep breaths.
The role of 'Elizabeth Ling' this time … … was truly too difficult!
After calming his breathing with great difficulty, Irin carefully pondered for a moment. Under such a bright and clear day, it was difficult to do anything. Hence, he simply collapsed onto his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After a busy night, Irin repeatedly expended his psionic energy and was truly exhausted.
Thinking about his upcoming plans, Irin didn't dare to be careless. To be safe, a reasonable amount of rest was extremely important.
Only in the afternoon did Irin awaken naturally.
Since he had already applied for leave from Ruth, Irin didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.
Fortunately, Ruth's moral integrity hadn't fallen to the point of absurdity. She didn't sneak in and attack Irin while he was sleeping soundly.
Although Irin had already locked the door, Irin was certain that as the lady boss of the 'Fiery Rose', Ruth would definitely have a spare key.
Moreover, it wasn't just one.
Irin glanced out the window.
The sun was setting in the west.
The birds were returning home.
The sky was nearing dusk.
To the taverns, night was the time when they were truly busy.
During the day, the taverns were basically closed.
After all, even if pirates were to dock at Tortuga Island for extended periods of time, they would still be busy with all sorts of matters during the day. For example, purchasing supplies, polishing equipment, street hunting, fighting, gambling, rolling dice … … and the like.
Thus, they would pass the time of boredom.
Only at night would the pirates unrestrainedly indulge themselves in drinking rum and getting drunk.
After all, it was rare for them to dock at the port. Docking there for half a month was extremely normal.
The days on the island were the leisure time for the pirates.
These two days, just as Ruth had mentioned, the number of pirates on Tortuga Island had gradually increased.
Something seemed to have happened in the sea.
However, regarding this matter, Ruth had been deeply apprehensive and didn't dare to mention it. It was as though she was afraid of violating some taboo.
Or perhaps … … a 'curse'.
Gazing out the window towards the port, one after another, black skull flags fluttered in the wind, looking extremely smug.
"Looks like tonight will be even busier … …"
Irin sighed. In the past, it had always been a hellish start. From the start till the end of the mission, Irin had instead enjoyed several days of leisure working.
The sudden bustle caused Irin to reminisce about the past few days of working.
Squeak!
The door suddenly opened.
"Heh heh heh … …"
Ruth had a sinister smile on her face. Using the spare key, she quietly opened the door and slipped in.
The moment she opened the door, she was met with Irin's stupefied gaze.
In an instant, the sinister smile on Ruth's face froze.
Irin: "… …"
Lady boss: "… …"
The atmosphere between the two women froze for a full ten seconds.
Only then did Ruth react. With lightning speed, she stuffed an exquisite object behind her back, and then giggled. "You're so annoying. Didn't you say you were on leave? Why did you suddenly come back? Wait … … "
"Don't tell me you went out in the middle of the night to look for a man?"
Ruth's expression was complicated. It carried three parts shock, three parts regret, three parts surprise and one part deeply concealed envy.
Look for your sister!
Irin remained expressionless. He clenched his fist, causing cracking sounds to ring out.
He didn't continue on this foolish topic.
Wait.
Irin suddenly recalled something.
He squinted his eyes and looked towards Ruth.
The attribute panel that appeared beside 'Crew Member Charlie' did not appear.
"Is it because Ruth can't become a crew member? Or … … I can only see the attributes after becoming a crew member? If that's the case, it's a bit of a trap. "
Irin didn't want to invite Ruth onto the ship.
At the very least, Irin was still hesitating on this idea.
After all, the last time he just stepped onto the young and promising Norland's fleet, before the sumptuous banquet was finished, the fleet encountered a terrible shipwreck and was completely wiped out.
If it were two women … … Irin didn't dare to imagine.
Although the misfortune of Norland's fleet might not be related to the curse of 'bringing women on board will bring bad luck', but to be safe, it was better not to consider bringing Ruth on board for the time being.
He had to think about it carefully.
Ruth saw that Irin didn't answer and felt a bit nervous.
Did she really go out in the middle of the night to look for a man?
Smelling it … … it didn't seem like it.
Yes, it definitely wasn't.
Ruth kept comforting herself.
"Tonight, there will be more dirty pirates than usual. Are you sure you want to go out?"
Ruth smiled brightly and did not ask where Elizabeth Winter had been the night before.
Irin looked up at Ruth and nodded.
Why did he feel that the lady boss's smile was strange?
As a man, Irin was actually being stared at by a woman. It was indeed strange.
When Ruth saw Yi Lin's reaction, a trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes, but she quickly pulled herself together again. She stretched out her hands and shook them a few times. She laughed mischievously and said, "Do you want Big Sister Ruth to help you put on a corset? You alone … … Hmm, you won't be able to put it on properly, right? "
Irin: "… …."
Damned role playing!
"Breathe in … … Breathe in harder … … Harder! Breathe in … … Breathe in … … Breathe in! "
Rip!
Ruth suddenly pulled Irin from behind.
That damned corset had finally bound Irin's body into Molly's shape.
Irin endured the pain of breathing and couldn't help but feel that the start this time was too difficult.
If not for this, it would definitely affect the following actions.
No pirate would be willing to stay on the same ship as a woman.
— — Unless they reached the shore.
"Are you really not coming back tonight?"
Before Ruth left, there was a strange reluctance on her face.
After confirming it several times, Ruth was finally chased out of the small room.
In fact, he didn't know if it was because his character was more approachable, or because he had signed a contract with Ruth, but the lady boss was very nice to "Elizabeth Rin".
Except for some strange fetishes.
Whoosh.
[Received "Indescribable Rosemary"!]
The lady boss twisted her waist and left Irin's room.
Irin's face was expressionless, and there was an exquisite box in his hand. It was covered with gorgeous gilded patterns, and it looked expensive.
This was the gadget that Yi Lin had stolen from behind the Lady Boss when she wasn't paying attention. At the same time, Yi Lin had used telekinesis to sneakily steal it.
Did you really think that "Elizabeth Rin" didn't see your little trick?
Naive!
Irin lowered his head to look at the attributes of the little box.
When he saw it clearly, his face slightly changed.
"What the — —"
[Indescribable Rosemary]
[Grade] Rare
[Effect] After fully burning, it will emit an undetectable, mesmerizing smell. It can instantly make the target who inhales the smell to be immersed in an indescribable dream, unable to extricate themselves. Lasts for 30 minutes.

…
…
Night.
"1, 2, 3, 4 …"
Near the port.
In the dark.
A figure wearing an elegant black tuxedo and a skull gentleman hat seemed to be one with the night as he silently stared at the pirate ships at the port.
"These ships have already been visited …"
Irin used his superhuman memory to remember the name and location of each ship clearly.
"I'm going to be busy tonight."
Irin also checked the location of his "Queen", and it didn't move.
"Haha …"
The night was silent.
No one knew what this androgynous gentleman did in the night.
Irin yawned and drove all the way back to the tavern like a shadow. In front of him was still the familiar scene and the familiar smell of rum.
After a busy second night, although Irin felt very tired, before completely returning to the tavern, Irin didn't dare to let down his guard. Along the way, he spread out his psychokinetic tentacles to ensure that it was safe within the range of his perception.
Although the trial in the inner world this time was very vast.
Irin was not sure that there were no other apostles lurking here on this island.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Suddenly.
A delicate bark came into Irin's ears.
Irin looked in the direction of the sound and found that in front of the tavern, there was a brown-haired dog sitting there. The dog's breed was ominous, and there was a bone in its mouth.
The dog stuck out its tongue, panted, and looked at Irin.
"Smell?"
Irin's heart skipped a beat.
He wondered if it was the smell on his body that had exposed his existence.
After all, he was now driving [Pursuing Shadow] without stopping along the way.
