This was the "Demon King's Song" that Ruth once sang in the cabin!
That was the legendary ballad that could lead to misfortune even if it was sung!
— Although after Ruth sang it, nothing bad happened.
But the two words "Demon King", from the moment Irin entered this trial, only Ruth dared to mention it. From this, it could be seen that the Demon King had a very high status in this world.
The Demon King … What kind of monster was it?
To an apostle, all red names were monsters.
As long as there was life, there was a way to be killed.
Although the third main mission had not appeared yet, Irin had a feeling that the following experience in this Inner World would definitely be related to the legendary "Demon King".
Alice's ballad was finally finished.
Irin saw Alice open her small mouth again.
She let out another "Yo Ho".
Alice seemed to want to continue. When she was about to sing again, Irin stopped her in time.
Although after Ruth finished singing the Demon King's Song, the Queen did not encounter the legendary "Demon King", but Irin always remembered that this was a world with a "curse". No matter how lucky they were, they could not resist Alice's singing again and again.
To be safe, before obtaining more information about the "Demon King", Irin decided not to mention too much about the "Demon King" for the time being.
There was also that song.
Alice was speechless.
Originally, she was indeed somewhat unsatisfied.
It had been a long time since someone heard her sing.
But under Irin's threatening gaze, Alice decisively gave up this tempting idea.
Even to the point that everyone had a tacit understanding and did not mention the name of the taboo.
Everything was for safety.
Alice only sang the ballad and did not say anything else.
If the shipwreck she encountered was related to the "Demon King", she would definitely understand how terrifying the Demon King was.
It was a monster that could destroy everything in an instant.
It was no wonder that when Irin's "Calamity" triggered the negative status of fear, Alice was actually scared to the point of convulsion.
Just as the two of them were happily chatting with an undead, the other pirates on the Queen had also found this place after Alice stopped her attack.
When they saw the strange scene of Irin and the terrifying undead chatting in front of the ship's wreckage amidst the thick fog, each of them prostrated themselves in admiration.
On the Captain's Panel, all the loyalty points that had dropped to negative values actually rose by a notch.
Irin silently closed the Captain's Panel.
He was well aware of the condition of each crew member.
Alice had already given up on the idea of teasing the Queen's crew.
After all, Irin was even more terrifying than her.
She did not want to experience the fear of being ravaged by the memories of the "Demon king" again.
Moreover, Alice had witnessed with her own eyes how Yi Lin had controlled the two spirits … It had been terrifying.
The surface area of the island was rather vast, roughly comparable to Tortuga Island.
Irin and the crew had not even explored half of the island island.
Moreover, the fog in this sea region was too dense, making it inconvenient for exploration.
Under Alice's guidance, Irin led the crew and found all the food that had drifted to this island in recent years.
Strangely, these food were stored in the form of canned food.
According to Ruth's understanding, these canned food were high grade toys that were popular among the royal family in recent years. The price was exorbitant, and ordinary commoners could not afford it.
Apart from the canned luncheon meat, there were many pickled vegetables and even canned fish.
If not for consumption, Irin could even open up all these canned food and hold a grand banquet on this desolate island.
While the others were not paying attention, Irin stealthily used various canned food to fill up the remaining space in his interspatial storage.
He only left a portion of it to store fresh water.
This time, they had unintentionally sailed into the Sea of Fog and encountered the legendary undead. The journey was tortuous, and even scared the pirates half to death.
Regardless, the ending was perfect. The Queen had been replenished with sufficient food and fresh water. On the Captain's Panel, the amount of supplies was once again abundant.
The only thing that Irin regretted was that the cannonballs in the ship's wreckage had deteriorated after years of exposure to the wind and rain. Furthermore, the corrosive effects of the fog had caused the gunpowder to become moldy and could not be ignited. It was a pity for the boxes of various calibre cannonballs.
Under Ruth's command, the pirates spent a considerable amount of time searching the entire desolate island. They methodically moved the supplies onto the Queen.
In principle, the word 'methodically' was extremely comical when used on pirates.
However, when the crew of the Queen personally witnessed their mighty Skeleton Gentleman Captain subduing a malevolent undead, no one dared to play any tricks behind Irin's back.
What a joke!
This was a Captain that even the undead could not deal with!
Who would dare to act rashly?
Of course, Ruth deeply sympathized with the bad character of the pirates.
Although they seemed to be obedient now, once they went crazy from hunger, they would still betray and slack off. The pirate group had no credibility at all.
Therefore, Ruth did not treat them unfairly. She took out a can of food from the supplies and distributed it to the remaining crew members so that they could have a good meal.
And what was reflected was that … the loyalty of the pirates had collectively increased by a little.
Finally.
Happy days were always short-lived.
Under the wise leadership of the Captain, the desolate island no longer had the threat of the undead. Instead, it was like a paradise for the pirates.
Two days later.
The departure was imminent.
Many pirates were reluctant to part with the desolate island. When they boarded the ship, they could not help but shed a few sad tears in the direction of the desolate island.
Although they were reluctant to part with the island, no one took the initiative to stay and accompany the lonely Mother Spirit Alice.
Every damned pirate knew that the reason why Specter Island was so comfortable was because of their captain.
Without the Captain's suppression, the undead might turn into man-eating evil spirits in the blink of an eye, the kind that would pick their teeth with bones after eating.
Irin just laughed at the thoughts of the crew, but did not point it out.
Anyway, pirates were such fence-sitters. They just had to get used to it.
Before they left.
Alice looked at the Queen that Irin and Ruth were about to step on, and a trace of reluctance appeared on her pale face.
She could not remember clearly how many years she had been alone on this desolate island after becoming an undead, and how many years she had aged.
It was not easy to meet a strange person who was not afraid of her, but made her a little scared. Alice was a little reluctant.
Huh?
Alice suddenly remembered what Bai Xiaoyi said that day.
— "Don't cry, you will get used to this feeling slowly."
Hmm? Was this the feeling of "getting used to"?
It turned out that the undead did not hate it!
After two days of getting along, Ruth did not know why, but she also had a little affection for this poor little female soul.
Before leaving, Ruth gritted her teeth and glanced at Irin's strange mask. She could not help but say, "Alice, do you want to … come on the ship with us?"
Irin: "???"
Alice was very surprised by Ruth's invitation.
Although this sexy big sister always looked at her with a strange look, it was the first time that someone had invited her on a ship after so many years.
If Alice had not been an undead and had lost the ability to cry, she might have been moved to tears at this moment.
By the way, when she was being ravaged by Irin before … she could only make movements and could not shed tears at all.
Alice smiled and said, "I am very moved, but … … the truth is, I am bound to something … … because before I died … … I had issued a vicious curse on this world. Thus, I am also cursed by this world. You can leave. Alice is destined to stay here and never be reincarnated."
Ruth was startled. "Curse?"
Alice nodded and did not explain further.
Irin, on the other hand, understood.
If there were no restrictions on the movement space of the undead and they could run all over the world, they would have been all over the streets and alleys. Why would they stay in a mysterious sea like the Fog Sea?
Ruth was also very helpless about this.
Irin turned around and did not say anything. He was ready to board the small boat and return to the Queen to set off again.
Time was precious. In order to replenish the supplies, he had wasted two days here, which was really not right.
It would also affect the follow-up plan to some extent.
Just before Irin and Ruth were about to set off to sea.
Alice suddenly thought of something and her expression changed slightly. "Wait!"
Irin: "?"
Ruth: "???"
Alice's eyes suddenly became cold and blurred. She pointed at the sea that could not be seen in the fog and whispered, "Be careful, 'she' seems to be angry."
She??
The Devil King was also a female?
Irin's expression suddenly became subtle.
Ruth's expression froze for a moment and she could not help but ask, "She? Who is she? Could it be …? "
She did not say the word 'Devil King', but those who understood understood.
Alice shook her head. Her cold expression was quickly replaced by another kind of confusion. "Alice doesn't know, but the sea told Alice that 'she' seems to be very angry."
For some reason, Alice's lines became fantastical.
After saying this, Alice fell completely silent. Her translucent body was hidden in the fog. She waved at Irin and Ruth as a farewell.
The other crew members had already boarded the Queen and were eagerly waiting for Ruth and Irin.
"Woof woof!"
At this moment.
A crisp bark came from the fog.
Needless to say, it was Uncle Wang Tiandi.
Irin slapped the back of his head. Wang Tiandi had mysteriously disappeared for the past two days. If it were not for the two barks at this moment, Irin might have forgotten about Wang Tiandi on this island.
The dog ran wildly on the beach.
His expression was cheerful.
Irin and Ruth also stopped rowing the small boat and sat there waiting for Wang Tiandi to board the boat.
"Hm?"
Suddenly.
Irin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Because the weather was gloomy and the fog was too thick, the vision was not very good. Irin could not see the scenery in the distance clearly.
But he could vaguely tell that the dog seemed to be holding something shiny in his mouth.
“???”
Not long after the dog appeared.
Alice, who was preparing to dive into the fog and completely bid farewell to Irin and the others, suddenly widened her eyes and jumped out of the forest in the fog. There was a hint of panic on her pale face.
"Ah! That's my bra — "
Irin: "…"
Ruth: "…"
Bra: "?"
One minute later.
The small boat docked in the shallow sea.
The dog directly took Alice's bra and skillfully dog-crawled onto the small boat.
Irin looked at the dog's skillful movements and nodded secretly.
It seemed that this role-playing might not forcefully add the "weak water" attribute to the apostles this time.
He should try swimming in the sea when he was free.
After Irin communicated with Wang Tiandi in a friendly manner, he used the few remaining bones to exchange for the bra from Wang Tiandi.
Wang Tiandi had already seen the attributes of the bra.
He was sure that this thing was definitely not as fragrant as the bones in his mouth.
Therefore, after Wang Tiandi shook the water droplets off his fur on the small boat, he happily chewed on the bones and did not have time to care about anything else.
Ruth also came over.
She used a professional gaze to size up the bra in Irin's hands.
"This bra, although the style is old, the workmanship is very exquisite. It is definitely not something that a commoner can have." Ruth used her hands to stroke it a few times and continued, "This bra is also embedded with small pearls. If it is really an antique from more than ten years ago, it is worth a lot of money!"
After Ruth finished her analysis, the light of gold coins flashed in her eyes.
"Hehe."
Irin laughed.
Ruth was looking at the style.
But in Irin's eyes, he saw through the appearance and directly saw the essence of this bra.
— — "Attributes."
[Alice's Curse Binding Chest]
[Grade] Rare
[Restriction] Female
[Durability] 135500
[Effect] Charm + 2.0, Luck -0.5
[Description] Click to see the details.
"Curse?"
It was another piece of equipment limited to females that added charm and reduced luck.
In terms of cost-performance ratio, reducing a little bit of luck to greatly increase charm was a profitable deal no matter how one calculated it.
However, in the description, the terrible curse made Irin hesitate.
He subconsciously touched the exquisite earrings on the side of his earlobe and fell into deep thought.
Then he turned it over and looked at it for a while.
Irin found that there was a pool of bright red blood on the bra in front of the chest. At first glance, the pool of blood looked like it was left yesterday. It was strangely fresh. If one did not pay attention, they might mistake it for a blooming rose. It gave people a strange sense of beauty.
Looking at it this way.
Irin actually had the urge to put it on and fantasized about how perfect his body would be after wearing it.
"Sigh —"
The owner of the bra, Alice, floated over at some point.
She sighed faintly.
"This is my bra."
Irin: "I know."
That was nonsense.
Alice didn't hide anything. "This is also the reason why Alice can't leave this island. Before I died, I cursed someone out of resentment, but at the same time, I also bound Alice's soul to this corset for eternity. All these years, Alice has been unable to leave."
Hearing that, Ruth was puzzled. "That is to say, the reason why you can't leave this island is all because of this … bra? Isn't that very simple? You can just take it away? "
Alice shook her head, a trace of sadness in her eyes. "Sister Ruth, think about it carefully. Now on the sea, how many women dare to take the risk of being cursed?"
In these two days, Alice had already seen that Irin and Ruth were not men.
That was why she could strangely become close friends with these two human women and talk about everything.
"Woof ~ Woof ~ Woof ~ Woof ~ Woof ~"
At this moment.
Wang Tiandi, who was gnawing on a bone, let out a strange low growl.
It seemed to have a trace of indescribable grievance.
Irin did not care about it.
Ruth was also too lazy to care about it.
Wang Tiandi could only lower his head and continue gnawing on the bone when he saw no reaction from the others.
The conversation continued.
Seeing that the two humans and the dog were speechless, Alice continued speaking.
"The sea is full of men and pirates. Who would be interested in a bra?"
"Oh ~ ~" Ruth understood.
Irin pondered for a moment. "Perhaps there are pirates who are interested in women's corsets. It's just that you haven't noticed it yet."
Ruth: "… …"
Alice: "?"
Wang Tiandi's lips curled up as if he was trying to hold back his laughter.
Irin did not dwell on such a terrible topic.
Three seconds later, Irin stroked the smooth bra in her hands. "Curse … what exactly is it?"
Alice, who was floating in the air, fell silent for a moment. Then, with a helpless tone, she said softly, "The woman who wears this bra will never be able to fall in love with any man in her life. Once she does, the other party will die in the most tragic way at sea."
Ruth's mouth opened so wide that it was hard to close it. "What a terrifying curse!"
Irin heaved a sigh of relief. "That's it? Then it's fine. "
Ruth: "?"
Alice: "???"
"Anyway … …" Irin did not hesitate. She smiled. "I'll take this bra."
Ruth's mouth finally closed. She suddenly thought of something. Her face flushed, and her eyes were filled with gratitude. "Ling … …"
After a brief moment of surprise, Alice's gaze wandered between Yi Lin and Ruth. But in the next moment, she seemed to have thought it through. She nodded and looked at the two with an envious gaze. "That's great. I wish you both happiness."
Irin paused.
Did you guys misunderstand something?
Yi Lin didn't ask why Alice had been cursed and turned into an undead.
Because after Yi Lin obtained [Alice's Cursed Chest Binding], Alice disappeared before the two of them with a relieved and amiable smile.
If Irin did not know the truth, he might have mistakenly thought that Alice's wish had been fulfilled and she had become a Buddha.
As a local undead, Alice was different from Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu. She seemed to have more strange abilities.
Although she would be cursed, Irin did not care about this curse.
"Elisabeth Ling" was the one who could not fall in love with a man. What did it have to do with Irin?
Thinking about it this way.
Irin looked at the silky and smooth bra happily. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Before boarding the ship, Irin put away the bra.
When they set sail, he would ask Ruth to help him put it on.
They were still surrounded by fog.
When the crew saw their great captain, the skeleton gentleman, bid farewell to the terrifying undead as if they were friends, their eyes were filled with worship and fear.
The legendary undead of the Fog Sea was so vulnerable in front of their captain.
In the eyes of all the crew, the skeleton gentleman's image became more and more tall and mysterious.
They could not figure him out, and they did not dare to have any disloyalty.
The Queen was filled with canned food and fresh water again, and the crew rekindled their high spirits.
Although everyone was reluctant to leave the island, as pirates, their goal was the sea of stars, and they were destined to wander the sea … Staying on the island for a vacation forever was just a saying.
Not a single pirate could endure loneliness.
At this time.
The loyal Charlie walked over with a licking face.
"Great, respected, invincible captain."
Charlie spat out a bunch of high adjectives in an instant.
For some reason, Irin's title became more and more domineering in Charlie's mouth.
The others instantly cast a contemptuous look at "loyal Charlie".
Charlie did not talk nonsense and told Irin that there were still a few crew members who had not returned yet. He asked Irin if he was going to set sail or wait for them to board the ship.
Irin was silent.
He only confirmed the attributes of the few people on the list provided by Charlie from the captain's panel.
— — -Especially the loyalty column.
Soon.
After Irin confirmed, his tone sank: "I can feel that on this island, other than the undead, there seems to be some kind of evil that is ready to make trouble. It is very likely that they have encountered something on the island."
As soon as he said this.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and the deck became deathly silent in an instant.
Suddenly, someone said in a low voice: "According to the pirate code, the life and death of any pirate who is left behind is determined by the heavens."
"Life and death are determined by the heavens."
Everyone whispered at the same time, and soon a smile appeared on their faces.
In the end, Irin decided to disembark the ship and look for the crew members who were left behind.
Everyone admired him in their hearts.
Only Ruth felt that it was a bit strange.
This guy doesn't look like a kind-hearted person, does he?
However, because the ship was about to set sail, the Queen had been through gunfire and disaster, and was already in tatters. Before setting sail, Ruth had to keep an eye on this group of dirty pirates and try to repair the Queen with wooden planks so that it would not sink at sea.
Wait.
Ruth suddenly remembered the "curse".
If Alice was included, there were a total of three women on the Queen.
She did not know if this voyage would be able to ride the wind and break the waves and move forward courageously.
Or … … the undead were actually not considered women? Could they only be considered as mother spirits?
Ruth fell into a deep dilemma.
Half a day later.
The skeleton gentleman captain, who everyone respected, was still wearing the elegant outfit that was incompatible with all the pirates. Even his tuxedo did not have an extra wrinkle. He turned back from the island again.
Irin brought back a piece of news that no one was surprised at all.
— — "They are all dead."
A deeper explanation was: "There are other more terrifying undead on the island."
(Alice: "???")
In short, the death of these few crew members did not cause anyone to be sad, let alone cry.
Irin did not explain more.
In the eyes of the others, their great captain seemed to carry 30% exhaustion, 30% regret, 30% loneliness for not being able to save his companions, and 30% indescribable worry. He locked himself in the captain's cabin again and completely locked himself up, not taking a step out of the door again.
On the Queen, all the pirates were silent for a short three seconds. They used these three seconds to praise their captain.
Then they continued to be busy.
Irin was in the captain's cabin.
After confirming with psychokinesis perception, she removed the disguise again.
"Ah ~ ~"
Duang~
After completely breaking free of the worries, she finally felt comfortable.
Irin swayed a few times, hesitating whether to take a luxurious clean hot bath while the fresh water resources were abundant.
When the fresh water was exhausted, Irin scrubbed her body with seawater every time, and then carefully wiped her body with fresh water. It was very uncomfortable to do it hastily.
After bathing with seawater every day, Elizabeth Ling's delicate skin had a lot of wrinkles. Ruth was distressed every time she massaged it.
"Forget it, let's get down to business first."
Irin looked at the few lines of prompts in her retina that hadn't had time to fade.
[Chaos value gained + 67!]
[Chaos value gained + 56!]
[Chaos value gained + 44!]
[Chaos value gained …]
Finally.
Like a late surprise, after harvesting the last little bit of chaos value, Irin's chaos value finally reached a satisfactory value from the last trial in the inner world.
— — "50033."
The Apocalypse mount was about to reappear in the world.
