The skeleton gentleman waved at the crowd from a distance.
It was like a farewell between lovers, full of meaning.
How could it be!
It's not scientific!
Tiramisu's hands holding the sniper rifle trembled slightly.
She was sure that she aimed accurately. After all, with her experience, it was impossible for her to aim at the wrong position.
There was absolutely no reason, and it shouldn't be.
After a moment of shock, Tiramisu instantly exploded. Her mind was empty, and without saying a word, she fired the second bullet.
Bang!
Another golden bullet was fired.
Chi!
Beside the skeleton gentleman, on the floor, a piece of gravel suddenly splashed, which was a sign that the bullet missed.
The third one!
Bang!
The fourth one!
Bang!
No one knew why Tiramisu was able to hide so many sharp sniper bullets in her V-neck.
But all the Marines watched as Admiral Tiramisu, like a shrew, pulled out one bullet after another from his clothes, crazily loaded and fired, it seemed that there was no sign of stopping at all.
Ding Ding Ding Ding — —
The hollow shells fell one after another.
"He's gone."
Irin had been looking at the end of the street with her binoculars until there was no one at the end of Victoria Avenue. She put down her binoculars and said slowly.
Tiramisu: "…"
Tiramisu was worthy of being an Admiral. Such a strange thing happened to her, but she quickly calmed down.
Seeing that the legendary great pirate skeleton gentleman who had mastered "Black Witchcraft" had completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Tiramisu slowly lowered his gun. His face was dark, and his expression was somewhat ferocious, but it was also quite beautiful.
Gu Tianqing's eyes fell on Elizabeth Ling's back from time to time, thinking.
"Search!"
Tiramisu shook the sniper rifle in his hand. His face was expressionless. With a flash of brilliance and the sound of gears grinding, the exquisite and domineering golden sniper rifle once again transformed into a long and narrow pipe. It was very magical.
Although Yi Lin was very interested in the transformative high-tech sniper rifle in Tiramisu's hands, he couldn't do anything bad under the watchful eyes of so many people. He could only firmly suppress this thought and think about it when he had the chance.
After secretly sending a string of messages to Wang Tiandi, Irin didn't wait for Sun Qi's reply. He followed the Marine team and searched Victoria Avenue thoroughly.
As expected, Tiramisu walked directly to where the skeleton gentleman had been standing not long ago.
There were a few bullet holes on the ground. The powerful sniper bullets had long since sunk deep into the stone floor and were difficult to pull out.
All the Marines were on tenterhooks. Under the command of Tiramisu, with Victoria Avenue as the center, they spread around and searched thoroughly.
Tonight, he was destined to have a sleepless night.
When Yi Lin returned to Swang Castle, the sky had already lit up with a trace of white.
As for Elizabeth Ling's departure, Tiramisu didn't even ask about it, because all her attention was focused on searching for that damned pirate. As for where the governor's fiancée wanted to go, Tiramisu didn't care at all.
Before Irin left, Gu Tianqing only smiled and whispered, "Beautiful lady, please be careful." She did not say anything else.
This caused Yi Lin's vigilance towards Gu Tianqing to deepen.
Gu Tianqing … seemed to be a more sinister person than Irin imagined.
Was she suspicious?
Irin could confirm that even after what happened tonight, Gu Tianqing would still be suspicious of Irin.
After all, to be able to reach this level, no apostle was really weak. There would always be something special about them.
"Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting."
Yi Lin suppressed the excitement that suddenly rose in his heart. He then activated Shadow Stalking and quietly slipped into the room, locking the door behind him.
In the girl's room.
Ruth was preparing to take off the "skeleton gentleman" outfit and change into a black and white maid outfit.
Seeing Irin sneak in and lock the door, Ruth immediately came up with a red face.
"Ya! Ling! Tonight is really too, too, too exciting! "
Sun Qi laid on the side and yawned lazily.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Yi Lin looked at Ruth, whose expression was a little strange. Yi Lin casually took off Ruth's entire set of Krypton gold equipment and turned it into a card in the blink of an eye. Before Ruth realized that she had been stripped down to her underwear in an instant, Yi Lin had already put the "Skeleton Gentleman Appearance Set" into the storage space.
“Fuck！ Ling, how are you so good at this! "
Ruth subconsciously covered her upper body, thought for a while, and covered her lower body. After thinking for a while, she opened her arms and posed, showing off her charming figure in front of Irin.
"Hurry up and put on your clothes."
Irin's eyes twitched and reminded her seriously.
Ruth was very clear that once Irin spoke with such a tone, it was not a good time to joke. Thus, she obediently put on her maid outfit.
Before Ruth did anything, Irin sat on the bed and thought about everything that happened tonight.
The mysterious governor, the governor's mansion, the infrared sensor, the password elevator, the secret underground of the governor's mansion, the deal with Calypso, the demon king, Tiramisu's strange weapon, and the strange technology tree.
Clues, fragments, speculations, they were all reorganized in Irin's mind. Then, like spinning silk from a cocoon, he extracted useful information from the messy information.
"Outsider …"
Suddenly.
Irin remembered what Calypso called him in the hurricane.
"Oh right, Ruth."
"Hmm? Do you need a massage, my captain? "
Ruth immediately changed her tone from that of a maid to that of an exclusive masseuse.
"… Okay."
Thus, the two of them posed and began to apply the buff.
After all, the buff status was very important.
Beside the bed.
Sun Qi pouted and covered his eyes with his paws.
"Comfortable, my captain?"
"Hmm …"
"My dear captain, when are you going to blow up the governor's mansion again?"
Ruth thought about the experience tonight and could not help but feel a little excited.
"…"
The massage ended.
Irin looked at the new buff on the apostle panel and felt refreshed.
He knocked on the floor in front of Sun Qi. Sun Qi raised his eyelids and looked a little unhappy. He seemed to be protesting that Irin disturbed Sun Qi's rest.
"Next, according to normal development, the navy will definitely search the whole city for the skeleton gentleman's whereabouts in the next few days. Hmm, and a dog."
Wang Tiandi: "Woof."
Sun Qi expressed that he understood.
Irin continued, "Since that guy is a senior consultant of the navy, we must prevent him from suggesting any bad ideas to the navy, such as … searching Swann Castle. So, you, who have been exposed, must not be exposed in front of anyone in the next few days. "
Although everyone in Swann Castle knew that Elizabeth Ling brought back a dog, all the ladies in London seemed to have the habit of raising some pets to improve their status. This was not a big problem for Irin.
Without evidence, it was not a car.
And, compared to the dog, the navy wanted to find the skeleton gentleman more.
Tonight's incident, Irin wanted to see if there was a chance to force the mysterious governor out in the chaos. He wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, then return to the governor's mansion and enter the elevator to find out what was going on.
As for the sniper rifle that was beyond the scope of this world's technology, Irin did not expect it, and it made things even more strange.
And from the beginning, Irin prepared a [Bullet Deflection] for Sun Qi in advance in case Ruth was surrounded by the navy, so that Sun Qi could use the [Bullet Deflection] on Ruth at the critical moment to prevent Ruth from being killed by the navy's bullets.
Although the development of the situation was a lot different from Irin's original plan, Irin also found more strange things in this story mode.
In general, there were gains and losses.
Irin remembered the deal with Calypso.
In the "Curse" column on the captain panel, there was an additional "Calypso's Gaze", which made Irin feel that something was wrong.
If he did not follow the agreement and complete Calypso's task, there might be some terrible consequences.
Of course, Irin was not afraid, after all, it was just a curse.
It was just that Irin did not know how powerful Calypso, who claimed to be the "God of the Sea", was.
Omniscient? Omnipotent?
Irin smiled.
"If he's really that powerful, why would he entrust that matter to an ordinary human?"
"Outsider? Ha. "
While thinking, Irin, who had been busy all night, felt a little sleepy, so he directly laid on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
The next day.
The sun was high in the sky.
Yi Lin was dressed in splendid attire and once again came to the Governor Manor in broad daylight.
After the explosion last night, the Governor's Mansion's defenses had been strengthened by several levels. Layers upon layers of guards surrounded the entire Governor's Mansion, making it so tight that not even a drop of water could pass through.
Irin stood in place and roughly estimated for a while. Even if he used [Stalking Shadow], with this level of defense, it would be impossible to sneak in without being discovered.
This could no longer be called a patrol team, it was more like a large number of soldiers were stationed here without any gaps.
Irin raised his head.
He looked at the roof of the governor's mansion.
Unless … … it was from above.
Irin revealed his identity, but he was still blocked outside the encirclement.
"The governor ordered that from today onwards, no one is allowed to see him, not even the honorable governor's fiancee."
The leader of the squad apologetically refused Yi Lin's request to see the governor.
The more the governor was protected, the more Irin felt that there was something fishy going on.
But in the current situation, Irin could not force his way in, so he could only give up for now.
Furthermore, he came to the Governor's Mansion just to take a look. He didn't really have to meet his "fiancé" through normal means.
In the communication panel.
After Irin canceled the "do not disturb" request for Gu Tianqing, the two did not initiate a private chat. They were strangely silent and fell into a delicate state.
"The 'smoke bomb' is enough. If we continue, it will seem too deliberate."
Yi Lin quickly twisted her small waist and left the Governor Manor.
The whole of London was immersed in a tense atmosphere.
The streets were filled with wanted posters for the "skeleton gentleman".
On the wanted poster, there was a man wearing an elegant tuxedo, a skeleton gentleman hat, and a "smiling face" mask on his face.
Beside him was a ferocious dog that bared its fangs.
The reward on the poster was … … 100,000 pounds.
For a damn pirate, this was undoubtedly a sky-high reward.
However, when Yi Lin saw this bounty poster that had been remade overnight, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
The image of the dog on the wanted poster was as terrifying as it could be. It was a living creature from hell. Even the background of the dog was painted with an abstract method, using black ink to paint a large black shadow, adding a gloomy and mysterious atmosphere to the dog.
If he really followed the image of the wanted poster, it would be a miracle if he could find the stupid dog.
Irin held back his laughter and silently left the place.
The day was silent.
Until … … late at night.
London.
Fog filled the air.
The moon was dark and the wind was cold.
In Swan Castle, two women in disguise sneaked out.
They went directly to the slums.
Irin and Ruth, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, simply disguised themselves and did not look so conspicuous. They shuttled through the narrow alleys.
Corruption, oil, moss.
Crawling cockroaches, happily jumping rats, crisscrossed ditches, sewage was completely untreated, emitting a stench in the sewers.
There was a smell of poverty everywhere. Compared with the luxurious city, it was a world of difference.
In the slums, there was not even a guard. It seemed that in London, this was a dirty corner that even the royal guards were not willing to visit.
"This is obviously a good place to hide people. Why don't they search the streets?"
Irin looked and immediately felt a little funny.
Ruth shrugged helplessly. "Who knows, maybe those guys think that the elegant captain is not willing to hide in such a damned place."
Irin was speechless.
From his point of view, it was more likely that Tiramisu had issued an order to search the entire city, but the guards knew that there was such a place in London, but because it was too dirty and messy, they were unwilling to search it. Instead, they pretended to be diligent and shed their sweat and tears on the streets of London. It was a typical bureaucratic style.
Could the leaders working in the slums see it?
It was no use!
It was better to sweat on the streets under the scorching sun and gain the appreciation of the higher-ups.
Irin quickly understood the mystery.
In the narrow alley, other than the cockroaches and rats, there were also slums full of smelly people.
There were many flies and mosquitoes that smelled the alluring scent of the poor people and hovered above the heads of the poor people who were lying on the ground.
Ruth frowned and took out a delicate wet wipe to cover her nose and mouth.
Irin did not care. He had experienced worse conditions before. This was just child's play. Other than feeling a little uncomfortable and not losing blood, there was nothing special.
Half an hour later.
Ruth and Irin finally arrived at their destination.
"I suggest you put away that damned wet wipe in your hand."
Irin turned his head expressionlessly and reminded her.
Although Ruth was unwilling, under Irin's serious threat, she crumpled the wet wipe into a ball and threw it in the corner in disgust.
In front of the two, there was a pile of messy garbage, piled up into a small hill, exuding an indescribable smell.
In the small hill, there was a passage faintly visible. There was no light, the dark passage was like the entrance to the devil's den. It looked very scary.
Ruth whispered to Irin and waved: "Captain, here!"
Irin followed the sound and approached.
On the ground that Ruth was pointing at, there was a simple skull pattern carved on it.
Without hesitation, after Ruth pointed out the entrance, Irin went straight into the pile of garbage.
On both sides, there were all kinds of garbage. There was no sorting. Who knew how long it had been piled up here. There were even some rotten food that was covered with white insects.
At this moment, Yi Lin finally understood why there was actually a gathering place for pirates in such a large city like London, hidden in a large city.
It was said that the big hermit hid in the city, while the small hermit hid in the dirt.
This kind of dirty place, not to mention the Navy, if Irin did not have a special purpose, without a special reason, he would not be willing to come close to this place.
The passage made by the garbage mountain was about 30 degrees downward. After walking for about ten meters, the surrounding walls gradually became solid and were no longer made of garbage. Relatively speaking, it was much cleaner.
And Ruth's frowning eyebrows slightly relaxed.
Soon.
Waves of slight tremors came from the front, mixed with a clamor of noise.
A few more steps.
The pungent smell of rum gradually overpowered the stench of decay.
Finally.
The front suddenly opened up.
The dim light ignited the darkness in front.
Ruth just happened to explain to Irin: "This place, it is said that it used to be an underground warehouse used by a noble to hide their treasures. But one day, this warehouse was visited by pirates and cleaned out. The noble also declined. I don't know when it started, but this city area also became a slum."
At the end of the light, there were two broken wooden doors, as if they would fall down with a light tap.
Irin reached out and pushed.
Bang.
The door actually fell down in front of Irin. It was like a scam.
No, this was simply a scam.
"Hey, damn pirates, how dare you break the door of the 'Gilded Quagmire', pay up!"
A dirty little hand stretched out from the darkness, and at the same time, from behind the door, a face full of dirt came forward with a smile.
While asking for money, the dirty child seemed to be looking at Irin and Ruth, and there was a bit of doubt in his bright eyes.
Without waiting for Irin to speak, Ruth was angry, pointed at the dirty child's nose and yelled: "Damn, I just came here yesterday, and you didn't even fix this damn door!"
The dirty child magically pulled out a small wooden sign from his back.
There were a few words written on it.
— — "Damn pirates, welcome."
— — "Wooden door expensive, please compensate for the damage."
— — "If you don't compensate, please be careful of the rum, it may be poisonous."
— — "Poison, you deserve to die."
Irin: "…"
Ruth: "…"
This was a blatant threat.
And extortion.
Irin was curious: "Did you pay for it yesterday?"
"Yes, but I didn't expect the style here to be more like pirates than we are."
Ruth was helpless and was about to take out a few copper coins as a gesture.
Suddenly.
In the dim light, a red shadow flashed between Irin and the dirty child.
Bang, bang.
Two bloody fingers fell to the ground. The two fingers seemed to be completely unaware that they had been cut off, and were still twisting slightly.
The dirty child was shocked.
Irin smiled slightly, and after cutting off the child's two fingers, he took out a brand new gold coin and pressed it on the palm of the cut off finger. In the blink of an eye, the gold coin was covered with blood.
"These two fingers are to give you a piece of advice."
"Some people can't be touched casually."
"This gold coin is your compensation."
After leaving these three sentences, Irin pulled the stunned Ruth into the underground tavern.
"Go away, and don't appear in front of pirates again."
The dirty child stared blankly at the bloody gold coin in his palm until the two pirates, who did not look like pirates but were crueler than any other pirates, left. Only then did he feel the sharp pain from the cut off finger. Then he bent his back, bit his lower lip, squatted on the ground, and endured the pain, not letting himself cry out loud.
A few minutes later.
After the pain subsided, the dirty child in ragged clothes stood up, holding the gold coin in his mouth tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn pirates!"
Then he quickly laughed foolishly. He suddenly thought of something and hid the gold coin in his arms, afraid that it would be stolen. Seeing that there was no one around, he felt relieved and left through the passage.
Ruth was silent for a moment.
After a few seconds, she whispered: "Some people can't be touched casually?"
Irin heard this and could not help but roll his eyes.
Ruth was actually concerned about this?
The pirate bar hidden in the bustling underground of London was called "Gilded Quagmire".
It was unknown whose taste it was to come up with such a tasteless name.
Pirate bar, as the name implied, only pirates would patronize this kind of place.
After all, in London where the royal guards were everywhere, pirates were an existence that could not be seen in public.
One had to play in this kind of underground style to be able to drink a cup of rum to their heart's content.
Perhaps it was because it was underground, but the Gilded Quagmire was airtight, and the entire space was filled with all kinds of strange smells mixed together with a rotten smell.
Compared to Ruth's "Fiery Rose", it was even dirtier and worse. If this world had a restaurant hygiene rating organization, this bar would undoubtedly be rated five stars.
— Negative five stars.
What happened at the door did not cause any commotion.
To be precise, unless Irin directly took out an explosive pearl and blew up the place, these drunk pirates would not notice any subtle movements.
The two stepped into the bar.
The smell assaulted their nostrils.
As for what the smell was, Irin was too lazy to distinguish it, it was not a good smell anyway.
Ruth had already been here once yesterday, but at that time, she only wanted to find a place to gather information and did not stay in the Gilded Quagmire for too long.
For pirates, where was the place to gather information?
Without a doubt, of course it was the bar where pirates gathered.
Pirates had always been famous for not having any secrets.
The bar was very spacious, after all, it was once a warehouse used by a noble to store treasures. The space was too small to be justified, and it seemed very empty.
Above their heads, the swaying oil lamp, the dim light cast twisted and swaying shadows on the pirates. Looking from afar, it was like a group of demons dancing, adding a strange and terrifying atmosphere.
However, upon closer inspection, Yi Lin actually had the illusion that she had stepped into a modern bar that was not very formal. She had the illusion that she was dancing on a dance floor filled with colorful intertwining neon lights. Unfortunately, there was no music.
Ding, ding dong —
Irin had just thought of this.
Behind the bar, an old man dressed fashionably, with a variety of braids on his head, his eyelids drooped, his legs crossed, holding an instrument like a guitar, and began to play.
"Yo ho ~ Let's change course ~ Raise the flag ~"
"Pull ~ Thieves and beggars ~ We will never die ~"
Haha, who said there was no music?
Many people began to sing loudly, singing the pirate song.
In fact, the singing and the accompaniment of the guitar were not in the same dimension, they were not the same song at all.
"Huh? Why is there someone nailed to the wall? "
Ruth suddenly pointed to a wall.
Irin glanced at it and was too lazy to care so much. He took Ruth and chose a relatively quiet corner, there was an empty table, and the two sat down.
Ten minutes later.
Irin and Ruth, who had nothing to do, finally waited for the waiter.
Behind them, there was a familiar flattering voice.
"Hehehe, welcome to 'Gilded Quagmire.' Oh, the two of you are really handsome. The skilled Charlie will serve you well. How many glasses of rum do you want?"
Irin and Ruth turned their heads.
An ugly man with a bloody nose and a swollen face, a man who had been beaten so badly that even his own mother could not recognize him, was trying his best to squeeze out a flattering smile. He rubbed his index finger and thumb at Yi Lin and Ruth, as if he was looking forward to some kind of reward called "tip."
