After who knows how long.
Irin let out a long sigh of relief.
"The information is not equal? Looks like I still have the advantage, hehe. "
Although this world map was huge, if he guessed correctly, it should be the world where the five apostles descended.
It was commonly known as a "five-person dungeon."
It was also the most common apostle configuration in the inner world.
For Irin, the identities of the five apostles were already on the table.
But for Gu Tianqing, who knew the most, these five people were: Gu Tianqing, Elizabeth Ling, Nicholas Zhao, Indiana Jones, and the skeleton gentleman.
As for the skeleton gentleman's identity, Gu Tianqing still had questions in his heart.
The reason why Gu Tianqing made such a bold and clumsy move when he first met "Elizabeth Ling" was because he noticed that Irin's role was obviously out of place in the eyes of the apostles.
1. Relationship with the governor.
2. Reappearance after disappearing at a crucial moment.
3. A name that seemed out of place in this world.
Gu Tianqing was not stupid. It was not strange for him to be able to guess Irin's apostle identity.
That was why Gu Tianqing had been sizing up Yi Lin's actions in the meeting room, and that was why she had issued such a test.
As for Elizabeth Ling's other identity, Irin believed that Gu Tianqing must have some suspicions, but he did not have any evidence.
"Tsk, this kind of person is the most troublesome."
This kind of sinister personality was the most annoying.
Based on the words of the three admirals in the meeting room, Irin could roughly guess the main mission of the "Navy" faction.
Just like how the pirate faction thought of all ways to gain reputation, the Navy faction would most likely use all kinds of methods to gain a higher position … military rank and so on.
As for what he had to do after obtaining the corresponding military rank, Yi Lin didn't know at the moment.
In the short conversation with Gu Tianqing, although it seemed like Gu Tianqing said a lot, there was almost no useful information for Irin.
It could be seen that Gu Tianqing was also a sly old fox. She was very cunning, and the way she changed the topic was so skillful that it made one's heart ache.
Fortunately, due to the lack of information, Gu Tianqing might only be guessing at the moment, but she wasn't confident enough to prove that Irin and the skeleton gentleman were the same person.
After all, the timing of the appearance of Elizabeth Lin, played by Irin, and the disappearance of the Skeleton Gentleman in the sea were too coincidental. Gu Tianqing was not from this world, and there was no such thing as "women are not allowed to go to sea".
It was believed that the news of the Queen's wreck would soon spread all over the sea.
Not long ago, Yi Lin had let Ruth wander around the tavern where the pirates secretly gathered in London, in order to obtain relevant information.
In the carriage, Ruth's reaction also confirmed Irin's guess.
Although Ruth only stayed for a short while, she still heard a lot of rumors.
News of the Skeleton Gentleman's shipwreck had spread.
However, the life and death of the "Skeleton Gentleman" was still a mystery.
Some people said that the Skeleton Gentleman died in the terrible hurricane. Others said that the Skeleton Gentleman had black magic and had an immortal body. There were also people who said that the Skeleton Gentleman appeared on the coast of a certain country.
There were even more exaggerated rumors that the Skeleton Gentleman was fancied by sea demons and spent 81 unforgettable hours with various sea demons.
In short, there were many rumors, and it was impossible that Gu Tianqing did not receive the news.
After dinner, Ruth once again returned to Irin.
Irin opened the apostle panel and took a look. Seeing that the "Abundant" buff was about to disappear, he pointed at his sore shoulder and asked Ruth to massage it.
Ruth was surprised that Irin was so proactive, but she did not refuse.
While using the BUFF, Ruth proudly told Yi Lin all the information she had learned, as if she was presenting a treasure.
Ruth spent the whole afternoon walking among the maids and servants in the castle and asked a lot of questions.
"I find it strange that you don't even know about this."
"Well, on the left, use more strength."
Irin lay on the bed and squinted his eyes. He did not explain why he was not familiar with everything in the "Swan Castle."
"I heard that there was a female pirate in the main family of the Swan family. In the end, the branch family occupied this castle. Oh, yes, that female pirate might be your aunt. It's just that the maids don't know the name of the female pirate. After all, it was many years ago. "
After listening to Ruth's tone of talking about the various versions of the story between the maids and servants, Irin opened his eyes. There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
From the wardrobe, she found a dress that had originally belonged to Elizabeth Ling. It was a woman's dress that was easier to move around.
After wearing it, Irin calculated the explosion time of the [Unstable Explosive] at his waist, opened the window, and prepared to jump outside.
This was the second floor.
It was not high.
Ruth saw Irin's action and suddenly widened her eyes. She could not help but ask, "Wait, my dear baby, you changed your clothes to go out?"
"Yes, otherwise?"
"I thought —"
Irin slowly typed a question mark, "Thought? What did you think? Hurry up, let's go out together. "
"Ah … Oh?"
Ruth subconsciously raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The night in London was filled with a faint layer of fog.
This beautiful moonlight, a single woman, a single woman, in the wilderness … Ah, so exciting?
After struggling for a while, Ruth suppressed the reverie in her heart and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Sister, what position should I use … Ah no, what clothes should I wear to go out with you? My captain. "
Irin did not explain.
Just with a swish, he pulled out a dark male tuxedo from nowhere.
Ruth was completely stunned. She felt that Irin's idea seemed to be somewhat different from her imagination.
"Wait, my dear captain, where are we going?"
"The Navy Governor's Mansion."
Ruth was stunned, "What the fuck???"
Irin looked back at Ruth with a "you're crazy" look.
"I, Elizabeth Lin, as the Governor's fiancée, sneaking into the Governor's Mansion at night … Is there a problem?"
Ruth was speechless.
Ten minutes later.
Irin took Ruth and the dog and quietly slipped out of Swan Castle.
The night in London was frighteningly quiet.
It seemed that in this era, all kinds of nightlife had not started to become popular, which was just convenient for Irin's next move.
If he was alone, it would be easy to avoid everyone's sight. After all, he was a man who lived in the shadows.
But with Ruth and the dog, if London was still crowded at night, it would be a bit uncomfortable.
After Irin settled Ruth and the dog, he went alone, in his usual way, to the Governor's Mansion.
It was said that the person who stood at the highest position in the Royal Navy would stay in this place at night.
Looking from afar, the Governor's Mansion was gorgeously designed and filled with the fragrance of money.
Around the Governor's Mansion, teams of guards patrolled in an orderly manner.
It's just that without the coverage of the cameras, the patrols of the Marine Guards were useless to Yi Lin.
After walking around the Governor's Mansion, Irin found several entrances that could be sneaked in silently.
The patrol route of the guards was not without blind spots.
It was already midnight.
When Irin was about to move, his chest trembled slightly.
Although this body did not have the Brand of Death, the trembling position was exactly the same as before. Every time he moved, Irin felt very uncomfortable.
"What about the dog?"
Before Irin opened the communication panel, he subconsciously thought that something had happened to the dog.
But he did not expect that the person who contacted Irin at this time was Gu Tianqing, who had just been added to the communication list not long ago.
Originally, when Irin saw Gu Tianqing's profile vibrate, he did not want to pay attention to it.
But when he saw Gu Tianqing's opening words, his expression changed slightly. Then, he squatted in the dark and silently chatted with Gu Tianqing privately.
Gu Tianqing: I really hope that I guessed wrong and that you did not prepare to sneak into the Governor's Mansion.
Irin: Ah! How could I! I was about to wash up and sleep!
Gu Tianqing: Haha. It would be great if that was true. That place is not as simple as you think.
Irin: Ah, the water is a bit hot today. It is not that simple? Have you been there before?
Gu Tianqing: No.
Irin: Then how do you know that the Governor's Mansion is not simple?
Gu Tianqing: A man's intuition?
Irin: …
Gu Tianqing: Okay, I think we should not continue to test each other. For the sake of the test, how about we exchange information?
Irin: Okay! You go first.
Gu Tianqing: …
Irin:?
Gu Tianqing: "Okay, okay. Hehe. Then let me start by throwing out a brick to attract the jade. This time, I found that the worldview of the Otherworld is somewhat similar to that of a classic old movie from a hundred years ago."
Irin: I had contact with the Skeleton Gentleman at sea.
Gu Tianqing: Huh? You did not join the pirate camp?
Irin: Now is the time to exchange information. Personally, I do not recommend using "questions" to replace "information".
Gu Tianqing: Yes, the Royal Navy is looking for something.
Irin: If I am not wrong, the Skeleton Gentleman should be quite handsome. (Drooling)
Gu Tianqing: … Kira Robert, there is something strange about him. (Smile)
Irin: The Skeleton Gentleman belongs to the pirate camp. (Smile)
Gu Tianqing: If you continue like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to have a pleasant conversation. (Cry laughing)
Irin: If you continue to use this kind of obvious clue as "information" to fool me, I think there is no need for us to continue this conversation. (Nose picking)
…
While chatting with Gu Tianqing, Irin used the [Ancient Sword of Xiao 13 Brand] to pry open the window. After sensing that there was nothing unusual behind the window, Irin flipped over and entered. Her movements were agile and skillful, and she did not alert anyone.
"If the higher-ups of the Royal Navy are really just the few people in the conference room …"
In the darkness, Irin's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
In the private chat channel.
Gu Tianqing was completely silent.
Failing to fool him, Gu Tianqing seemed to be thinking of another way to fool him.
The Governor's Mansion. The light was dim, and it was so dark that only the outline of the surrounding objects and walls could be seen.
There was a faint moonlight outside the window, which provided Irin with a very limited vision.
Irin walked silently in the long and narrow corridor.
Unlike the strict patrols outside the house, there was not a single person in the passage decorated with all kinds of exquisite sculptures and protruding spiral patterns.
This strong contrast made Irin feel a bit strange.
The current atmosphere made Irin feel like she was exploring a haunted house in an amusement park.
Inside the Governor's Mansion, the structure was not complicated.
After all, it was only a two-story building.
Irin first followed the stairs and went to the second floor while exploring with his perception. He found that the second floor was just an ordinary dining room, study, and the like, nothing special. So Irin returned to the first floor.
He subconsciously stopped.
He thought carefully.
Why, or what, would make him have the illusion of playing in a haunted house?
Oh?
His chest trembled.
Damn Gu Tianqing began to send harassing messages again.
After thinking about it, Irin decided to see what Gu Tianqing had to say first.
…
Gu Tianqing: Have you heard of the Demon King?
Irin: Well, have you heard of the skeleton gentleman?
Gu Tianqing: …
This short ellipsis made Irin imagine that in a corner of the world, Gu Tianqing showed a disgusted expression.
Isn't it just to see who can't hold it in first?
Who's afraid of who?
In the darkness.
Irin smiled and was quite proud.
After ten seconds of silence, Gu Tianqing finally changed her tone.
…
Gu Tianqing: I am certain that the royal navy is looking for the Demon King.
Irin: I stayed on the skeleton gentleman's ship for a while. My identity is unknown. My ability may be related to the curse.
Gu Tianqing: Oh?
Irin: If you use questions instead of affirmations to exchange information, I think we should end this damn conversation.
Gu Tianqing: … If you want to join the navy camp, you just need to prove your ability.
Irin: If you want to join the pirate camp, you must be qualified as a captain, get a ship, and recruit a group of pirate crew. Hmm? Your ability can find the "Demon King"? Search skills?
Gu Tianqing: Haha. They have their eyes on "Elizabeth Rin" for a reason. It's not as simple as a simple marriage. It seems that you have joined the pirate camp?
Irin: Guess? There are many local forces among the pirates. The main mission on this side may be related to this.
Gu Tianqing: Haha, you even know about the main mission? It seems that I can't continue to be friends with you … The navy side is simple, just find a way to increase your military rank.
…
Yi Lin and Gu Tianqing were using this method to cross time and space to exchange the "information" they had.
Of course, neither Yi Lin nor Gu Tianqing was naïve enough to believe that the intelligence they provided to each other was a hundred percent accurate. They were all experienced people. There was no need for them to fall out with each other. There was also no need for them to lie to each other and fool each other openly.
Truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth. How much useful information could be extracted from this information depended on one's ability.
Yi Lin clearly knew that Gu Tianqing had doubts about her identity, yet he still deliberately brought up the identity of the skeleton gentleman. It was nothing more than a smokescreen. As for whether or not Gu Tianqing would be fooled, that would depend on what the other party thought.
Anyway, she couldn't come to a conclusion in the end.
Some information, although Gu Tianqing didn't completely tell the truth, Irin still figured out a lot of … interesting content.
Just as Irin was ready to test Gu Tianqing's ability again.
Suddenly.
Irin's footsteps stopped.
He was originally in the dark, wrangling with Gu Tianqing as he carefully paced in the corridor.
At this moment, the feedback from [Psychokinesis Perception] was a bit wrong.
He closed the chat interface with Gu Tianqing and habitually set it to do not disturb mode.
— — So that the vibration would not distract Irin.
There were no more forks in the road ahead.
It was a narrow corridor.
What was strange was that there were no windows as they walked further down the corridor.
There were oil paintings of different styles neatly arranged on both sides of the corridor. On both sides of the corridor, as well as on the ceiling, there were exquisite reliefs. The style of the whole building was consistent with the luxurious aristocratic atmosphere.
About three meters apart, there were empty knight armors on both sides of the corridor. This seemed to be the decorative type that the aristocrats liked.
Irin suddenly flashed a strange thought.
These armors wouldn't suddenly start to move, would they? This was a cliché plot that had been played out many years ago.
Irin stopped in place and carefully observed.
"Hmm?"
Yi Lin suddenly realized that the reliefs on the ceiling and walls of this strange passageway, compared to the other decorative reliefs in the Governor's Manor, were more detailed and complex. They were vivid and lifelike. Moreover, the story was continuous. It was like a comic book, narrating a grand and joyous banquet. One couldn't help but turn their heads, unable to bear looking at it any longer.
On the reliefs, the eyes on the faces of the aristocrats who were in strange postures and overlapped with each other were lifelike.
Okay, observation complete.
But what made Irin feel strange was not the postures of the aristocrats in the reliefs, nor was it the three-dimensional eyes.
Instead, in Irin's perception, the empty corridor in front of him seemed to be "filled" with something, but it could not be seen with the naked eye.
At the end of the corridor, there was a dark door. If one did not pay attention, it seemed to blend into the darkness.
Compared to the other luxurious doors in the governor's mansion, the style of the black door was abrupt and out of place.
"Are they afraid that people can't find the point? If they want to be more discreet, why don't they just make a secret door? Why do they have to make such a pretentious gimmick? "
Irin secretly complained.
In the darkness.
Long corridor.
Black door.
"Is this the strange thing that Gu Tianqing said?"
"The entire governor's mansion seems to be completely empty. There is no defense at all."
"Or … … there is no need to defend?"
Irin was expressionless. He stood there thinking for a while. Then he slapped his head and laughed at himself. "I have been on the sea for too long. I am going crazy from the shaking. I actually forgot about this trick."
After sailing on the vast sea for close to a month, Irin habitually thought about his identity as the "captain". He almost forgot that he was an apostle with a spiritual weapon.
The next second.
Bai Xiaoyi silently appeared behind Irin.
In the darkness, Bai Xiaoyi's translucent body was almost invisible. She blended into the surrounding darkness, leaving only a touch of white.
If there were timid people who saw this scene, they would definitely faint from fright.
"Master … … do you still remember Bai Xiaoyi at the Puppet Village in Haunted-mist Mountain?"
Bai Xiaoyi stared at Yi Lin from mid-air with a resentful gaze that was filled with a ghastly aura.
She seemed to be extremely dissatisfied that Irin did not let her out for so long.
"Little White, go."
Irin ignored Bai Xiaoyi's resentful expression.
If it was Nie Hongxiu who showed this expression, Irin might feel some pressure.
Little White?
Forget it.
In the blink of an eye, Irin switched his vision to "Bai Xiaoyi".
It was already mentioned that the vision of a "spirit" was different from that of a human.
In the definition of the Tower, a spirit and an apostle were completely different life forms … … if a spirit could be considered a life form.
The ancients once said, "Remember to look at this world from a different perspective."
The ancients also said, "If you still can't see the difference, then change your posture."
And when Irin changed his perspective and changed his posture to observe, suddenly, the "world" became completely different.
The previous sentence did not use a rhetorical technique called "exaggeration".
In fact, at this moment, Irin indeed discovered that his original worldview of the Caribbean Sea world had completely collapsed. Not a single speck was left.
He was not prepared at all. It was so sudden that it caught him off guard.
In the long corridor.
In the spirit's vision.
Countless crimson red "lines" were densely packed and crisscrossed. They completely covered the long corridor, and there were not many empty spaces left.
Irin raised his head with a surprised expression. He discovered that those "lines" all came from the eyes of the nobles in the relief sculpture.
The "lines" that shot out from those eyes completely covered the long corridor. No matter what posture Irin used to pass through this corridor, he would inevitably pass through those crisscrossed lines.
"Infrared rays??" Irin stood in place for nearly ten seconds before slowly spitting out these three words.
Bai Xiaoyi: "?"
As everyone knew, there was a certain range of light wavelengths that the human eye could accept. Light that exceeded this range of wavelengths could not be perceived by the human eye.
The crisscrossed lines in front of his eyes, even if they were not infrared rays, they were not far from it.
Another ten seconds passed.
Irin was speechless: "This technology tree seems to be a bit off? Is this technology that can be mastered in this era? "
When the sea was filled with sailboats that used wind power as their main source of power, in the Governor's office, there was actually such a high tech anti-infiltration method. This undoubtedly opened Irin's eyes.
It was no wonder that Irin felt that his worldview had completely collapsed.
This world was not what he had imagined at the beginning.
"In other words, Gu Tianqing has roughly guessed that this place is strange?"
"This is not something that can be simply described as' strange ', okay? This is completely demonic! "
Yi Lin only used less than 30 seconds to reconstruct a new worldview and accept the settings of the monster in front of her.
It was fortunate that he could not sleep in the middle of the night, so he came to the Governor's office for a stroll. Otherwise, if the navy camp suddenly picked up a rocket launcher and fired at his ship, he would be caught off guard if he was not mentally prepared.
As a professional apostle who had experienced reincarnation, no matter how shocking the situation was, he would not be shocked.
Unless he could not help it.
This world was not right.
After Irin accepted this setting, he instantly felt comfortable and no longer bothered about this spiral shaped technology tree.
"How do I get past it?"
[Stalking Shadow] only reduced his presence, but under the infrared rays, there was nowhere to hide. It was impossible to sneak past it silently.
After Irin discovered that there were infrared sensors in the corridor, he used his senses to investigate more thoroughly to see if there were any hidden cameras.
From now on, Irin would no longer treat this world as a technologically backward world, but as a demonic world.
"Cameras … there are none."
"In other words, the infrared sensors are enough to deal with all infiltrators? Haha, that's right. "
Irin saw that there were no gaps in the intertwined infrared network, so he did not plan to force his way through. He continued to use Bai Xiaoyi's vision to let Bai Xiaoyi float in the corridor all the way to the end.
It was a black door.
And through Bai Xiaoyi's vision, Irin finally saw the true face of the door.
"Another surprise … Haha."
This was indeed a door.
It was just an elevator door with a digital password lock. There was nothing special about it.
