[Main Mission 3: Seal "Calypso" and kill the "Devil King"! You will receive a clearance rating based on the contribution of the hidden kill. Mission Completed: Return to the real world. Mission Failed: You will be stripped of your apostle status!]
"…"
At this moment.
Irin felt that he should say "What the f * ck?". It would be more appropriate.
But he could not say it.
The result of Gu Tianqing's actions this time was not unexpected, and it was also reasonable.
Although it was late, Irin only noticed the hidden trick in the second main mission before Shipwreck Bay was completely destroyed.
Perhaps some people would think that Irin's experience of being reborn was fed to Wang Tiandi.
Irin said softly, "Time limit."
The surroundings were silent.
As the cannon fire subsided, the cabin returned to darkness.
Irin silently closed the window, in case the idle navy found out and mistakenly thought that Elizabeth Ling was going to jump into the sea to escape.
When he was pondering whether there was a trap in the description of the main mission, Irin paid more attention to the difference between the "factions."
He did not expect Tower to have a small hole in the mission completion time limit.
And from Tower's reaction, he could speculate that the "time limit" was not a trap deliberately given by Tower, but a "conflict" that was unintentionally born under the rules.
The original main mission 2 was —
[As one of the "Nine Pirate Kings," participate in the "Pirate Conference" that will be held in Shipwreck Bay in three months.]
As for the "mission time limit," there were other restrictions.
[Mission time limit: Before the "Pirate Conference" is held.]
In other words.
The original main mission 2's time limit was different from usual. It was not simply a number of days or hours.
Instead, it was "before the Pirate Conference held in Shipwreck Bay in three months," and "before the Pirate Conference."
Actually, in principle, there was no problem with it.
Perhaps it was a bit of hindsight, but Irin had thought of two possibilities not long ago.
What if the Pirate Conference could not be held?
Or the location of the Pirate Conference, Shipwreck Bay, was completely wiped off the map. What would happen?
Then the so-called "mission time limit" would completely disappear, which meant that even if he could never complete the mission, he would not be punished.
Simply put … the main mission was stuck.
This might be the "conflict" mentioned in the notification.
In the end, Tower's way of dealing with this "conflict" was also very simple and crude.
He directly changed it to something that everyone could complete in an instant. It was almost a free mission, skipping over the second main mission.
What was obvious was that the reward for the second main mission that was skipped in this way was secretly replaced with a blank check, which meant that the reward would only be paid after the mission was cleared.
It was as if he was saying, "You want the reward? Haha, let's see if you can survive until the end. "
It made Irin feel that Tower was full of malice and bad taste.
Because the second main mission had been completed in such a way that was close to finding a loophole, the final result was that the difficulty of the second main mission had been forcefully raised to the level of a nightmare trial.
Nightmare Level.
Irin cursed inwardly. Can't you just let me do the trial properly?
The last time he was in Gotham City, it was also inexplicably upgraded to Nightmare Difficulty.
However, Nightmare Mode was not unsolvable, and Irin was not too pessimistic.
It wasn't time for despair yet.
An experienced driver should have the calmness of an experienced driver.
However … Irin shook his head helplessly.
Even if a normal person saw through the loophole in the time limit of the main mission, would they choose to use such a crazy method to test Tower's bottom line?
After Irin saw through the loophole in the time limit, he quickly deduced that if he destroyed Shipwreck Bay and actively created a "conflict", it would definitely cause a huge change in the following mission.
This was equivalent to forcing Tower's consciousness to make a choice.
Irin would definitely not do such a bold and crazy move if he was not 90% sure that things would develop in a good direction.
"He is a crazy person, and also a gambler."
Actually, it was not all bad.
At least Irin was starting to see Gu Tianqing's character.
This type of person was not rare among the apostles, but to be able to use such a calm expression like Gu Tianqing, who did not even care about his own life and death, and a crazy gambler who did not care about the consequences … was extremely rare.
"Hmm?"
Irin felt that someone was approaching.
The other person did not intentionally hide his tracks, and his footsteps were steady as he stepped on the second floor corridor.
A few seconds later.
Knock knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door.
The door opened instantly.
When Gu Tianqing knocked on the door, Irin already had his hand on the door handle.
Gu Tianqing smiled and said, "To be honest, I am a bit surprised that you could open the door so quickly."
"I am also surprised."
"Unexpected change in the main mission?"
"No, I am surprised that you are the one who knocked on my door. Do you think that if I explain to others that you are here to discuss the script with me, they would believe me?"
Gu Tianqing's eyes slightly froze, but she shook her head and did not intend to continue the conversation. She let out a light laugh and repeated the rhetorical question in the form of an affirmative sentence, "The main mission has changed."
After that, Gu Tianqing calmly looked into Irin's eyes.
Gu Tianqing seemed to be observing the changes in Irin's facial expression, even the slightest twitch of the facial muscles, or the diameter of the pupils, trying to see through Irin's mind from the micro-expressions.
"I know, I am not blind."
Irin also used a poker face to refute.
After a moment of silence.
Gu Tianqing's lips curled up slightly, "Your reaction surprised me again."
"Otherwise? Should I cry? "
Gu Tianqing: "…"
Irin was secretly happy to make this guy eat a little turtle.
Irin did not ask Gu Tianqing how he fooled Tiramisu and let the Navy bombard the Shipwreck Bay regardless of the cost.
Even if he asked, he may not say, and even if he said, it may not be true, so Irin was too lazy to waste her time.
After stepping onto the deck, Yi Lin found that Tiramisu, who had just fired a few rounds of cannons, looked refreshed and flushed. It seemed that the depression in Tiramisu's heart had been swept away after the fortress in Shipwreck Bay was completely razed. The only thing missing was the word "refreshed" carved in the center of his forehead for viewing.
Gu Tianqing took out three tarot cards in a tone of an old man and said, "Oh, your excellency, my tarot cards tell me that there may be clues in the ruins."
Tiramisu's expression froze. Although he did not completely believe Gu Tianqing's words, this man had already proven through facts that his divination was indeed frighteningly accurate. Now that Shipwreck Bay was in ruins, it was not impossible to search there.
After thinking about it, the nine warships formed a search team and went to the ruins of the Shipwreck Bay to search for traces left behind.
Irin smiled and took out a small fan and shook it in front of Tiramisu, "Oh, the weather is a little cold, it looks very warm over there, can I go with Advisor Kusanagi to search?"
Tiramisu reminded her, "It's Amakusa Harushiro … My lady, go! Be careful. "
Gu Tianqing: "…"
Before Irin and the others landed.
The former Shipwreck Bay was full of devastation, and it had long been impossible to recognize its former appearance.
Under the fierce bombardment, the fortress that had stood for decades finally came to an end, drawing a tragic end to history.
Originally, there were a few pirate ships docked in a secret place in the Shipwreck Bay.
But under the crazy bombardment of the nine warships, the pirate ships also turned into wreckage on the sea, the kind that could not be pieced back together no matter how hard they tried.
Countless incomplete and charred corpses, still exuding a strong barbecue smell, were scattered in the ruins.
Some organs, broken limbs, and blood that could barely be distinguished could even be seen. Some or all of them were stuck in the surrounding ruins, and it was difficult to tell them apart.
Even the corpses that were barely intact were bombed into various strange shapes. Some were like the word "big", some were like the word "wood", and some were like the word "tai".
Pa pa.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement in one of the piles of corpses.
Then, an arm covered in black smoke suddenly stretched out from the pile of corpses, carrying with it a terrifying aura of control over one's own life.
A few minutes later.
A "person" whose skin was peeled off and covered with terrible abscesses moved step by step toward the shore.
Burns and abscesses mixed together, almost no part of this "person" was intact, and an indescribable smell spread to the surroundings.
If other people were here, they might be able to tell that this was the smell of rotting meat.
"How is this possible —"
"No, no, no, I, Zhao Xingchen, how can I die here, I'm not —"
"You're not fair! You're not fair! Why am I the only one who started like this!! "
A hoarse roar came out of Zhao Xingchen's mouth. His voice was rough and broken, like the ear-piercing sound of a blower. It sounded very strange.
"You're not fair ahhhhhhh —"
A hoarse and low roar faintly echoed in the pocket-shaped terrain of the Shipwreck Bay, echoing with the sound of the waves.
Zhao Xingchen, or rather, Nicholas Zhao, staggered to the shore.
In the dark night, small lifeboats with lights on were quickly moving toward the ruins of the Shipwreck Bay.
Suddenly.
Zhao Xingchen's body shook.
He opened the apostle panel and sent a series of question marks to "Gu Tianqing" who was still lit up in his friend list.
The reply was just one sentence.
— "The other party is busy, please do not disturb."
Do Not Disturb Mode! Do Not Disturb Mode! Do Not Disturb Mode!
Damn it, Gu Tianqing!
It's Gu Tianqing —
It's him!
Zhao Xingchen's eyes instantly bled.
Zhao Xingchen had come to the shore at this time, and in front of him were the wreckage of ships, and even some of the wreckage were still burning with flames that had not been extinguished in time.
Plop!
Zhao Xingchen's legs went soft and he fell into the cold sea.
The salt in the sea stimulated the abscesses and burns on his body, but it could not make Zhao Xingchen feel pain.
Because under this kind of heavy injury, the peripheral nerves of the epidermis were almost burned, and there were not many left, so he lost the sense of pain.
In the dark.
Zhao Xingchen sank quickly.
Deeper and deeper, as if there was an endless abyss of purgatory below.
At this time, the seawater wrapped around Zhao Xingchen strangely formed a sea current, and a "human face" formed by the current appeared in front of Zhao Xingchen.
"Have you changed your mind now, outsider?"
Zhao Xingchen nodded frantically.
He just wanted … to live!
No matter what would happen next, he just wanted to live!
Anyway, the one who made the deal with Calypso was Nicholas Zhao, what did it have to do with Zhao Xingchen?
The sound of the waves seemed to condense into a strange laughter.
"As you wish, hahaha …"
