Tiramisu's face was dark as he walked onto the deck.
Ever since the fleet encountered these disasters, her face had not been good.
Elegantly smoking the long pipe, Tiramisu silently pondered. Then he turned his head and looked at Gu Tianqing, who was the navy's consultant.
Irin waved his fan as he quietly moved closer to Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu on the deck.
In fact, along with the route of the warship, they went all the way north. After crossing the latitude, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot. But Irin was used to the fan to hide his expression in front of Gu Tianqing. There was nothing wrong with fanning from time to time.
After a few days of sailing, the seemingly harmless Irin was almost treated as invisible by Tiramisu and the other navies. Apart from the normal routine, no one paid attention to Irin's actions on the ship.
However, this also made it convenient for Irin to deal with the [Unstable Explosives] hidden under her skirt from time to time.
A small bead sank into the sea and did not cause any obvious waves.
Yi Lin habitually kept the number of Exploding Pearls at ten. Since he was no longer the captain, there was no need for him to worry about sailing. Since he had nothing better to do, it was a good way to kill time to remember how many Exploding Pearls he needed to rub when he was bored.
"Shipwreck Bay?"
After Irin got closer, he faintly heard some words that came along with the sea breeze. He could not help but be moved.
So he became more serious and eavesdropped.
If only Gouzi was here. Gouzi was famous for his sharp hearing.
Irin thought with slight regret.
"Divination … Don't … Have to believe … Route … Shipwreck Bay …"
Tiramisu was not stupid enough to shout everything loudly. Under the low voice, Irin could not hear all the contents of the discussion.
If he got closer, it would be too blatant to eavesdrop.
Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu were still in a heated discussion.
To be precise, Tiramisu was the one who was heated, not Gu Tianqing.
Gu Tianqing just smiled and shook her head.
From the few words, Gu Tianqing seemed to be righteously rejecting Tiramisu's excessive request.
As for how excessive it was, Irin could not tell from Gu Tianqing's expression.
Another few minutes passed.
The discussion between the two of them became somewhat dull.
Tiramisu's expression seemed to have softened a lot.
They lowered their voices even more.
Finally.
Tiramisu nodded and left the deck. Through the adjutant's orders, he passed them down one by one, making all the Marines active and perform their duties.
Irin: "?"
After pondering for a moment, Irin decided to ask Gu Tianqing a question, whether it was acting or genuine curiosity.
Actually.
After getting on the ship, Yi Lin had considered whether he should take advantage of the dead of night to kill Tiramisu and the governor. Maybe it would increase his pirate reputation value.
But when Irin thought about what might happen next, he dismissed the idea for the time being.
After all, under the premise that the Irin did not have their own ships, even if they took these ten warships, they might not be able to convince the navy to abandon the darkness and become pirates.
Moreover, whether it was Elizabeth Ling's identity or the Skeleton Gentleman's disguise, killing on this ship would undoubtedly expose his true identity. After all, Gu Tianqing was still on the ship.
The "Tarot Divination" ability that Gu Tianqing displayed made Irin feel a bit strange.
If it was really so accurate, it was equivalent to a "prophecy" ability.
This kind of ability was extremely rare even in the future. If Gu Tianqing could predict Irin's attack in advance, it was very likely that she would be in a disadvantageous situation.
Although it seemed that part of the Tarot Divination relied on the imagination, but to be able to predict a general direction was already an extremely terrifying ability.
Now it was only the second main mission. There was still time, so Irin was not in a hurry.
Moreover, now was not the time to fall out with Gu Tianqing.
As mentioned before, in the trial mission, the relationship between apostles and apostles was complicated, and there was no absolute distinction between friend and foe.
If one did not have absolute confidence to completely kill an apostle in the trial mission, one should never make an enemy out of an apostle. Otherwise, when one returned to the real world, it would cause a lot of trouble.
One had to have absolute confidence to completely kill the apostle, or use the trial's momentum to kill the apostle without leaving a trace.
Just like in Gotham City, when Irin silently killed Zhu Yun'er, it was a textbook example of killing an apostle.
There was one more thing.
The last time Gu Tianqing used the Tarot Divination, Irin wanted to steal a Tarot Card when Gu Tianqing was not paying attention to see if an "attribute" would appear.
But Gu Tianqing was already prepared for Irin's actions. Irin's fingertips only slightly touched the surface of the card and did not get what he wanted.
However, that brief moment of contact made Yi Lin realize something.
Gu Tianqing's Tarot Card … the material was not normal.
It did not have the smooth texture of a normal card.
It gave Irin a familiar feeling, as if it was a piece of human skin that could not be removed from the original body's head.
After that, Irin thought about it carefully and suspected that Gu Tianqing's Tarot Card was made of human skin.
But Irin only suspected and did not have any evidence.
Tarot Card made of human skin.
The back of the card was black, and the veins were blood red.
These characteristics were strange no matter how one looked at it.
Back to the main topic.
Irin felt that there was something wrong with Gu Tianqing, so he slowly typed a question mark on the communication panel.
Gu Tianqing smiled and looked over. She raised her index finger to her lips and made a "shh —" gesture.
Irin: "…"
Half an hour later.
At night.
The temperature was lower.
The surroundings were filled with fog.
However, this kind of fog did not seem to exist in the Fog Sea of the Undead. It was a strange fog that looked like water mist but was not water mist at the same time. It was a normal weather phenomenon that water mist in the lower atmosphere of the ocean condensed at a lower temperature. There was nothing special about it.
In the sea fog at night, the nine warships sailed straight along the fixed route.
There were faint yellow lights in front of them.
One light, two lights, three lights — —
The closer they got, the lights in front of them were like fireflies in the night. They gradually gathered together and formed a hazy yellow light in the night fog. From the range of the lights, they could roughly guess that there should be an island-like building in front of them.
Suddenly.
At this moment.
Irin's chest suddenly tightened a little.
Suddenly, there was a soft sigh in Irin's ear.
The sigh was faintly discernible, like crying and complaining. It sounded like it came from beside her ear, but it also sounded like it came from her tight and swaying chest.
Alice?
"Hiss — — it's so cold. I'd better go back to the cabin and stay there."
Irin's eyes narrowed, but there was a hint of discomfort in her expression. Under everyone's gaze, Irin lifted her long dress and walked back to her cabin.
By the way, although Irin played the role of Elizabeth Ling and had the identity of the "Governor's fiancée", the plot did not seem to be so melodramatic that Irin and the Governor were forced to be in the same cabin. A relatively quiet cabin was specially arranged in the second floor of the cabin.
Otherwise, if Tiramisu really made such a melodramatic arrangement, Irin would definitely not hesitate to take out a knife and stab the mysterious Governor. Then, she would ride the Nightingale and leave on the surface of the sea.
Before entering the cabin, Tiramisu saw that Irin was preparing to hide. Instead, he happily blew out smoke rings and squeezed out a smile on his tight face. "Oh, beautiful lady, we may have to take action next. The hull may be bumpy and there will be some noise outside. I hope it will not disturb Miss Elizabeth Ling. Hahaha."
"I hope not. Otherwise, I will ask my fiancé to get rid of you!"
Tiramisu was speechless.
Kacha.
After Yi Lin said those harsh words, she walked down the deck and went to the boudoir on the second floor of the ship below the deck. She completely locked the door.
Inside the room, Yi Lin had already searched inside and out. There was no such thing as a listening device or surveillance device.
But if the devices were so advanced that even Irin could not recognize them, then Irin had nothing to say.
Before seeing the infrared sensor device and the elevator in the Governor's Palace, Irin did not expect that she would have the experience of looking for surveillance devices on a ship from the Middle Ages.
No one would believe her if she said it out loud.
Of course, the experience of an apostle could not be described to normal people.
Facing the sea breeze, in the night fog, the nine warships actually headed towards the hazy ball of light in the depths of the fog. They quickly and neatly formed a formation to surround it.
At this time, the other warships did not care about cursing. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Alice?"
While observing the movements outside the ship, Irin softly called out to the lonely mother soul from the fog sea, Alice.
The sigh that came from nowhere should have been Alice's voice.
The [Alice's Curse Corset] that was worn on the chest had Alice's curse on it. However, it was not like Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu, who were Spiritual Weapons. It could come and go as she wished. This made Irin feel very helpless. If it was not for the fact that the equipment attribute increased the charm value, Irin might have regretted his decision to wear this cursed corset.
"…"
"…"
"…"
Oh? Alice didn't even bother with him.
There was no more sound. It was as if the sigh just now was just an illusion.
"Haha, where did all these illusions come from?" Irin raised his head and looked in the direction of Shipwreck Bay through the window. "Shipwreck Bay? There is still almost a month until the pirate main mission 2, the so-called pirate convention. My reputation value has not reached the level of a pirate king. Or … to become a pirate king, there are other requirements? "
"Unfortunately, Ruth is only a half-baked pirate. She is not very familiar with this aspect."
"Main mission 2 … Shipwreck Bay …"
Just as Irin's thoughts were entangled with various clues, he once again remembered every word of the main mission 2.
As he was afraid of being tricked "in the past," Irin had already developed the habit of memorizing every word that the tower announced.
[Main mission 2: As one of the "Nine Pirate Kings," participate in the "pirate convention" that will be held at Shipwreck Bay in three months. Current alignment: Pirates.]
[Mission time limit: Before the "pirate convention" is held. Mission failure penalty: Bear one or two random "curses." Mission reward: Unknown.]
"The pirate convention in three months? Mission time limit …? "
Suddenly, Irin's mind was blown. It was as if he had been enlightened.
On the deck.
Gu Tianqing stood proudly with her back upright. She stared at Shipwreck Bay in the distance and smiled slightly. The smile seemed to be fixed on her face and did not change at all.
At the stern of Lucky Person No.2, beside the main rudder, Tiramisu raised his pipe high and smiled coldly. He issued an order that countless people had been waiting for for a long time.
"Fire at Shipwreck Bay!!!!"
The signal to fire was quickly transmitted to the other eight warships.
In an instant, from all around Shipwreck Bay, the sound of cannonballs being loaded from the warships completely broke the silence of the sea.
Ka ka ka ka ka …
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Countless cannons, within the range, spat out terrifying flames at Shipwreck Bay. Wave after wave, round after round of cannon fire, there was almost no pause. In the blink of an eye, the hazy lights in the night fog were completely drowned out.
It turned into even more gorgeous fireworks!
Boom! Boom!
Waves rose on the sea surface and the fog became thicker. However, this was not a normal fog, but smoke caused by the excessive firing of cannons. It was extremely terrifying.
No ship, no person, could withstand this level of firepower on the sea.
The remaining nine warships had cannonballs that could not be compared to the weight used by the pirates. Just by looking at the rows of cannons protruding from the iron plates, the muzzles were black and thick.
Shipwreck Bay was also a place that everyone knew about in the Navy's teaching materials.
It was said that the largest naval battle in recent years took place here.
Because after that battle, the pirates did not dare to gather here in large numbers. Even if there were, they were just some unknown pirates. Shipwreck Bay's barren fortress was located in the middle of the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Generally speaking, no Navy would choose such a thankless place to earn work points.
Even if they were passing by, they would take a detour to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Those small pirates, even if they did not pay attention to them, they might die one day in the sea.
Night.
Shipwreck Bay.
Nine warships.
Thick fog, smoke.
The sky was full of cannonballs.
All of this built a magnificent picture. Gu Tianqing stood at the bow of the ship. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment. His expression was neither happy nor sad.
At the same time.
In the second level of the cabin.
Irin was just about to lift her skirt and summon the nightingale and try [Dark Night Mode] to sneak into Shipwreck Bay to see if she could take advantage of the chaos, Irin's movement stopped.
At this time, one of his long legs had already stepped out of the ship and was fixed outside the ship.
After hesitating for a moment, Irin remembered Gu Tianqing's poker face and could not help but sigh: "Forget it, it's too late."
So Irin retracted his leg.
He also dispelled the idea of sneaking into Shipwreck Bay.
He had almost guessed the consequences of Shipwreck Bay completely disappearing from the sea, but he did not know how Tower would deal with this consequence.
"Is this a bug? I've encountered a lot of bugs recently. Or is this a new way of clearing the game that I have never thought of before? "
The "past" in Yi Lin's words was obviously referring to his previous life, which was a little salted fish.
"Gu Tianqing also found out? No, how did he know that the pirate's main mission is related to Shipwreck Bay? Among the pirates … there is a mole? "
But just as this thought flashed in his mind, Irin felt that it was ridiculous and could not help but laugh to himself.
The so-called pirates should not have a faction in the first place. How could this kind of pirates, who did not differentiate between friend and foe, be called a faction?
Now, there were only two apostles that he had never met before. Their roles were very likely to be "Nicholas Zhao" and "Indiana Jones."
Among these two, was there someone secretly working with Gu Tianqing?
Or was it …?
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The vibrations were even transmitted to the cabin, and the four walls that were not solid trembled.
Irin was still thinking in the dark.
The light from the cannon shone on Elizabeth Ling's white skin, reflecting a gorgeous red light, making this woman in the dark look as delicate as a flower.
In the cabin.
The silence lasted for a few minutes.
Suddenly Irin did not turn his head and laughed softly: "Do you really want to go to Shipwreck Bay?"
Unknowingly, the translucent lonely mother spirit Alice appeared behind Irin. Her expression was gloomy, causing the atmosphere in the cabin to be inexplicably creepy and treacherous.
Alice silently floated behind Irin, and her feet did not touch the ground.
On her pale face, new scars appeared and blood seeped out.
"I say, Miss Alice, it is useless for you to release special effects here to scare me." Irin turned his head and said with a smile.
Irin was already immune to this kind of visual feast. Moreover, he had two more translucent spirits like Alice in his warehouse, so he did not care.
Alice was silent, but she quickly retracted the blood on her face. The fresh scars on her face slowly healed, and it was as smooth as before.
"Let me guess, your man is up there."
Alice lowered her head: "I hate him, but our fates are connected."
"The kind that loves deeply and hates fiercely? Oh, sorry, I should change to a more down-to-earth way of saying it … Oh, you want him to die a horrible death, and never be able to find a lover who loves him more than you? "
Under Irin's teasing, although there was no wine, Alice finally told her story.
"That day, our ship encountered it, and then …"
And then, there was no more "and then".
Alice seemed to recall the terrifying scene, and her expression was ferocious, and her spirit body trembled slightly.
"He was Alice's fiancé. His long brown hair was like the fur of a lion, slightly curly and delicate. His eyes were like the stars, and also like diamonds, bright and dazzling. Oh, his voice was like the most luxurious pure gold bell, oh …"
Irin's expression was strange, and he interrupted Alice's singing: "Don't 'oh oh oh oh' first, my orientation is very normal, you don't have to describe it in such detail. From what I hear, your ex-husband seems to be very rich?"
Alice's fantasy was interrupted by Irin, and the blurriness in her eyes disappeared without a trace. She pursed her lips and said: "That is not important, he is a very talented musician."
Irin laughed and said: "Well, a compatible love, and then?"
Alice continued: "We were lucky to survive in the lifeboat, and it seemed to have no interest in us. We drifted on the sea for seven days … "
"There was no food, no water, and I suffered from severe dehydration, and my fever did not subside. He was the same."
"Alice remembered that on the seventh night, there was fog all around, and there seemed to be someone singing in the fog."
"In a daze, he said the names of twenty-three women, including Alice's own aunt and grandmother."
Hiss —
Yi Lin suddenly sucked in a cold breath.
Alice: "?"
Irin: "Nothing, please continue."
"So, Alice questioned him the next day, why did he say the names of those women in his dream? Then, we used the last of our strength to wrestle on the ship."
"In the end, I died, and he lived. But we completely merged into one. "
Alice's casual tone made Yi Lin unable to react for a moment.
But after thinking for a while, he realized that something was wrong.
Merged into one?
"Wait." Irin raised his head and stared into Alice's eyes: "You mean … he ate you?"
Alice grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth that sparkled in the firelight. "He won't be able to abandon Alice again. Alice is very sure."
"Oh." Irin used a few seconds to calmly accept the ending of this horrifying story.
Alice was dumbfounded: "???"
She did not expect Irin to be so calm.
"So, he is in Shipwreck Bay?"
Alice laughed, but she said something else: "Before Alice died, she cursed him … She cursed him that his soft hair would completely wither, and his charming voice would become as unbearable as a blower. He would rot like a corpse, and his skin would be filled with abscesses that would never heal. His body would emit a stench, and no one would dare to go near him … Alice cursed him, cursing him to take Alice's flesh and live in the most painful way possible."
"As a price, Alice also became an undead." Alice's face was intoxicated. She closed her eyes and pointed in the direction of Shipwreck Bay: "Alice can feel that he is there …"
Shipwreck Bay?
Was it a coincidence?
Irin thought for a while: "What is the name of your ex-boyfriend?"
"Hehe, Nicholas Zhao! The man whose fate is connected to Alice's. "
Irin: "…"
When he heard this name, Irin did not think about anything else. He was not shocked or surprised.
But …
"So there is someone who is more unlucky than me in this role-playing mode."
After knowing the complete horror version of "Alice's Honeymoon", Irin silently mourned for the martyr who played "Nicholas Zhao" for a few seconds.
In the end, Irin decided not to sneak into Shipwreck Bay for Alice in this unpredictable environment.
If he guessed correctly, there must be an important hidden storyline mission hidden in Alice. Once completed, it would greatly increase the final mission rating.
Just like the "Golden Stone Treasure Map".
Irin did not have the energy and manpower to dig up more storyline missions and missions.
Although it was a pity, there were gains and losses. Under Gu Tianqing's manipulation, the destruction of Shipwreck Bay was a foregone conclusion.
He didn't know whose head it would be if Nicholas Zhao died in this round of gunfire.
After Alice finished her story, she saw that Irin was not moved at all. She did not want to go to Shipwreck Bay. She pursed her lips and disappeared from Irin's head.
The sound of cannons outside the ship gradually subsided.
On the surface of the sea, smoke filled the air. Irin wiped his face and there was the smell of gunpowder. It was extremely pungent.
One could imagine how much firepower the nine warships had put in to completely destroy Shipwreck Bay.
Suddenly.
Irin lowered his head.
After the sound of cannons subsided, the long-awaited notification did not come late. It appeared in front of Irin on time.
"As expected." Irin was expressionless.
[The key landmark "Shipwreck Bay" has been completely destroyed.]
[…]
The tower seemed to be silent.
It also seemed like it was calculating.
[A known "conflict" has been discovered.]
[Dealing with "conflict" …]
[Dealt with.]
[Main Mission 2 has been revised.]
[Main Mission 2 has been reissued: Increase your reputation to "Famous Across the World" or your military rank to "Major General". Current Faction: Pirate (Navy). Mission Reward: Unknown. Time Limit: None. Punishment: None.]
[Main Mission 2 has been completed instantly! Reward: Final rating + 1 upon completion of the mission!]
[Warning.]
[Warning.]
[Warning.]
Here it comes again.
Yi Lin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
[Main Mission 2 has been completed in an "abnormal way" …]
[Trial difficulty increased to … Nightmare Level!]
[Completion of "Death Point", difficulty increase by 40%]
[Gentle Reminder: Please pray for yourself.]
Irin: "???"
[Main Mission 3 has been issued …]
