Chapter 215: Promotion to Nightmare Difficulty (Two in One)

Tiramisu walked onto the deck with a dark face.

Ever since the fleet encountered these disasters, her complexion has not been better.

Elegantly smoking the long and narrow tobacco rod, Tiramisu meditated silently, then turned his head and looked at Gu Tianqing, who was a naval advisor.

While waving her fan, Yi Lin approached Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu on the deck unobtrusively.

In fact, following the route of the warship, all the way to the north, after crossing the latitude, the surrounding temperature has dropped a lot, but Yi Lin's fan is used to hide her expression in front of Gu Tianqing, and she is also used to it. Fanning a few times from time to time is fine not good.

After sailing for a few days, Elizabeth Lin, who seemed harmless, was almost treated as a little transparent by Tiramisu's navy. Apart from normal work and rest, no one paid any attention to Yi Lin's actions on board.

However, it is also convenient for Yi Lin to deal with the [unstable explosives] hidden under the skirt and about to explode in the bead box from time to time.

A small bead sank into the sea without causing much noticeable waves.

Yi Lin habitually keeps the full amount of ten beads. Anyway, he is not the captain now, so he doesn’t need to worry about sailing matters. It's a good way to pass the boring time.

"Shipwreck Cove?"

After Yi Lin got closer, she faintly heard certain words coming along with the sea breeze, and her heart couldn't help but move.

So he became more serious and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

It would be great if Gouzi was here at this time, Gouzi is famous for his keen hearing.

Yi Lin thought with a little regret.

"Divination...don't...you have to believe...the route...Shipwreck Bay..."

Tiramisu was not so stupid as to yell about everything. With her voice lowered, Yi Lin couldn't hear the whole content of their discussion.

If it was any closer, the eavesdropping would be too blatant.

Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu are still having heated discussions.

To be precise, it was tiramisu that was intense, not Gu Tianqing.

Gu Tianqing just smiled and shook her head.

From a few words, Gu Tianqing seemed to be justly rejecting some excessive request for tiramisu.

As for how excessive it was, Yi Lin couldn't tell from Gu Tianqing's expression.

A few more minutes passed.

The discussion between the two became a bit dull.

Tiramisu's expression seemed to ease a lot.

Their voices were lowered.

finally.

Tiramisu nodded, and left the deck again, passing orders through the adjutant, order after order, so that all the navy is still alive and performing their duties.

Yi Lin:?

After thinking about it for a moment, whether it's acting or genuine curiosity, due to emotion and reason, Yi Lin has to ask Gu Tianqing a question mark at this moment.

actually.

After getting on this ship, Yi Lin once considered whether to take advantage of the dead of night to knock off the two high-ranking naval officers, Tiramisu and the Governor, so that the reputation of the pirates might be greatly increased.

But when Yi Lin thought about the possible plot that would happen next, she temporarily dismissed this idea.

After all, on the premise that Yi Lin does not have her own ship, if these ten warships are snatched over, it may not be able to convince all the navy to become pirates.

And whether it is Elizabeth Lin's identity or wearing a skeleton gentleman's vest, killing people on this ship will undoubtedly reveal their true identity, after all, there is Gu Tianqing on board.

The ability of "tarot card divination" displayed by Gu Tianqing always makes Yi Lin feel a little weird.

If it is really so accurate, it is equivalent to a "prophetic" ability.

Even in the future, this kind of ability is extremely rare. If Gu Tianqing can predict Yi Lin's attack in advance, it is very likely that he will fall into a disadvantageous situation.

Although it seems that some predictions in Tarot card divination rely on brain supplementation, but being able to predict a general direction is already an extremely terrifying ability.

Now it's just the second main task, there is still time, Yi Lin is not in a hurry.

Besides, it's not yet the time to tear up the face with Gu Tianqing.

As mentioned earlier, in the trial mission, the relationship between the apostles is intricate, and there is no absolute distinction between enemies and friends.

If you are not absolutely sure to completely kill an apostle in the trial mission, you must not enter into a death feud with the apostle, otherwise returning to the real world will cause a lot of trouble.

Either have full confidence to completely kill the apostle, or take advantage of the general trend of the trial to kill the apostle without a trace in the trial.

Just like in Gotham City, Yi Lin killed Zhu Yun'er silently, it can be called a textbook example of killing an apostle.

One more thing.

The last time Gu Tianqing used Tarot cards for divination, Yi Lin wanted to take advantage of Gu Tianqing's inattention and grab a Tarot card to check to see if "attributes" could appear.

But Gu Tianqing had long been on guard against Yi Lin's actions, and Yi Lin's fingertips only touched the card surface slightly, but she didn't get her wish.

But the brief touch at that moment also made Yi Lin discover something.

Gu Tianqing's Tarot cards...the materials are not normal.

It is not the smooth texture of ordinary cards.

It feels familiar to Yi Lin, like the piece of human skin that can't be peeled off on the forehead of the main body.

Later, Yi Lin looked back and thought about it carefully, and was very suspicious that Gu Tianqing's Tarot cards were made of human skin.

But Yi Lin only suspected, without evidence.

Tarot cards made of human skin.

Black card back, bloody texture.

These characteristics, no matter how weird they look.

Closer to home.

After Yi Lin felt that there was something wrong with Gu Tianqing, she slowly put a question mark on the communication panel.

Gu Tianqing looked towards this side with a smile, raised her index finger around her mouth, and made a "shh--" gesture.

Yi Lin: "..."

half an hour later.

at night.

The temperature is lower.

There is fog around.

However, this kind of fog is not like the weird dense fog that looks like water mist but not water mist in the sea of ​​mist where the undead exist. There is no special connotation.

In the sea fog weather at night, the nine warships sailed straight along the established trajectory.

There is a faint yellow light ahead.

One, two, three—

The closer they got, the lights in front of them gradually gathered like fireflies at night, gathering a hazy yellow light in the night mist. From the range of the lights, it can be roughly inferred that there should be an island-like building in front of them.

suddenly.

at this moment.

Yi Lin's chest tensed up a little bit.

In Yi Lin's ear, suddenly, there was a soft sigh.

The sound of sighs is faint, like weeping or crying, it seems to be coming from the ear, or it seems to come from the tight and dangling chest.

Alice?

"Hiss—it's so cold, I'd better stay in the cabin."

Yi Lin's eyes were slightly condensed, but her expression showed a trace of discomfort. In the eyes of everyone, Yi Lin was walking towards her cabin with a long skirt in her hand.

By the way, although the Elizabeth Lin played by Yi Lin has the status of "the governor's fiancée", the plot does not seem to be bloody, forcing Yi Lin and the governor to be entangled in the same cabin. A relatively quiet cabin in a corner is specially arranged in the second cabin.

Otherwise, if tiramisu really wanted to make such a bloody arrangement, Yi Lin would definitely take out a knife without hesitation, kill the mysterious governor, and then ride away on the sea surface of Dire.

Before entering the cabin, Tiramisu saw that Yi Lin was about to hide, but instead happily puffed out smoke rings, forcing a smile on her tight pretty face: "Oh, beautiful lady, we may have As you move, the hull may be bumped, and there will be some noise outside, I hope that Ms. Elizabeth Lin will not be disturbed, hehehe."

"I hope not, otherwise, I will ask my fiance to get rid of you!"

Tiramisu: "..."

click.

After Yi Lin said harsh words, she walked down the deck, went to the boudoir in the second cabin below the deck, and locked her up completely.

In the room, Yi Lin has searched back and forth, inside and out, and there is no equipment similar to bugs or surveillance.

But if the equipment is so advanced that even Yi Lin can't recognize it, Yi Lin has no choice but to say.

Before seeing the infrared sensor and the elevator in the Governor's Mansion, Yi Lin did not expect that she would have the experience of searching for monitoring equipment in a medieval ship.

No one would believe it at all.

Of course, there is no way to tell ordinary people about the experiences of the apostles.

Hoo hoo -

Facing the sea breeze, in the night fog, the nine warships moved quickly and neatly towards the hazy light group deep in the fog, forming an encircling formation.

At this time, the other warships didn't care whether to curse or not, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Alice?"

While observing the movement outside the ship, Yi Lin whispered to the lonely mother spirit from the misty sea, Alice.

The sigh that came from nowhere just now should be Alice's voice.

It's just the [Alice's Curse Corset] worn on the chest, which entrusts Alice's curse, but it is not like Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu in the spirit weapons, which can come and go at will, making people Yi Lin felt very helpless, if it weren't for the effect of increasing the charm value of the equipment attribute, maybe Yi Lin would regret the decision to wear this cursed corset.

"..."

"..."

"..."

oh? Alice didn't care about him.

There was no more sound, as if the faint sigh just now was just an illusion.

"Hehe, where are there so many illusions?" Yi Lin raised her head and looked in the direction of Shipwreck Bay through the window: "Shipwreck Bay? It's almost a month away from the so-called pirate conference in the second main mission of pirates. Prestige The value has not reached the level of the Pirate King, or...to become the Pirate King, do you need other conditions?"

"It's a pity that Ruth is only a half-barrel pirate, and she is not very skilled in this area."

"Main task two... Shipwreck Bay..."

Just as Yi Lin was entangled with various clues in his mind, he once again remembered every word of the main task 2.

Because "before" was scared of being tricked, Yi Lin had already developed the habit of writing down every single word that the tower released.

[Main task 2: As one of the "Nine Pirate Kings", participate in the "Pirate Conference" held in Shipwreck Bay three months later. Current faction: Pirates. 】

[Task time limit: before the "Pirate Conference" is held. Task failure penalty: bear one or two random "curses". Mission Reward: Unknown. 】

"The Pirate Conference in three months? Mission time limit...?"

Suddenly, Yi Lin's mind thumped, as if suddenly enlightened.

deck.

Gu Tianqing stood proudly on her back, staring at Shipwreck Bay in the distance, smiling slightly, the smile seemed to be solidified on her face, without any change from the beginning to the end.

At the stern of Lucky Man 2, next to the main rudder, Tiramisu held up the smoke stick, smiled coldly, and 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 remaining eight warships.

In an instant, all around the Shipwreck Bay, the sound of shells being loaded from various warships completely broke the silence of this sea area.

Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka...

Boom boom boom boom!

Countless gun barrels, within the firing range, spit out terrifying flames towards the Shipwreck Bay at the same time, wave after wave, round after round of shelling, with almost no gap between pauses, and in a blink of an eye, the night fog The dim light was completely drowned out.

Transform into more brilliant fireworks!

Boom boom boom boom——

There were waves on the sea surface, and the fog became thicker, but this was not the normal water fog, but the gunpowder smoke caused by too many gunfires, which was extremely terrifying.

No ship, no single person can withstand this level of firepower on this sea.

For the remaining nine warships, the caliber of the shells was not comparable to that used by the pirates. Just looking at the rows of gun barrels protruding from the iron plates, the muzzles were black and thick, which can be seen.

Shipwreck Bay is also a well-known location in naval textbooks.

It is said that the largest naval battle in recent years took place here.

Because after that battle, pirates did not dare to gather here in large numbers. Even if there were, they were just some unknown pirates. In addition, the barren fortress in Shipwreck Bay was located in the middle of the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. No navy would choose such a thankless place to earn work points.

Even if you are passing by, just take a detour to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Even if those little shrimp pirates were ignored, they might die in the sea one day.

night.

Shipwreck Bay.

Nine warships.

Dense fog and gunpowder.

The sky is full of artillery fire.

All these constituted the magnificent picture scroll in front of him. Gu Tianqing stood at the bow of the boat, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.

at the same time.

In the second cabin.

Just when Yi Lin was about to lift her skirt, summon Night Dire and try [Dark Night Mode] to mix into Shipwreck Bay to see if she could gain some benefits from the chaos, Yi Lin paused.

At this time, one of his long legs had already stepped out of the boat, and he was completely fixed on the outside of the boat.

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Lin thought of Gu Tianqing's poker face, and couldn't help sighing softly: "Forget it, it's too late."

So Yi Lin retracted her legs again.

Also canceled the plan to sneak up to Shipwreck Bay.

He had almost guessed the consequences of Shipwreck Bay completely disappearing in the sea, but he didn't know how the tower would deal with the consequences.

"Is it a bug? Have you encountered a lot of bugs recently? Or is this a new way of clearing the level that I never thought of before?"

The "before" in Yi Lin's words obviously refers to his slightly salty previous life.

"Gu Tianqing also found out? No, how did he know that the main mission of the pirates is related to Shipwreck Bay? Among the pirates... there is a ghost?"

But as soon as this idea flashed in her mind, Yi Lin herself also felt that it was ridiculous, and couldn't help but secretly laugh to herself.

The so-called pirates shouldn't exist in camps. How can they be called a camp if they fight for their own interests without distinguishing between the enemy and ourselves?

Now there are two apostles who have never met before, most likely playing the roles of "Nicholas Zhao" and "Indiana Jones".

Among these two people, is there someone who is secretly uniting with Gu Tianqing?

Or is it……?

Boom boom boom.

The frantic shooting outside is still going on, seemingly endless.

The shock even spread to the cabin, and the weak walls on all sides trembled.

Yi Lin was still thinking in the dark.

The light from the cannon fire reflected a brilliant red light on Elizabeth Lin's fair skin, making this woman in the dark look delicate and beautiful.

in the cabin.

Silence lasted for several minutes.

Suddenly, Yi Lin didn't turn her head back, and said with a low laugh, "You really want to go to Shipwreck Bay?"

I don't know when it started, the translucent lonely mother spirit Alice appeared behind Yi Lin, with a gloomy expression, which made the atmosphere in the cabin a little more inexplicably creepy and treacherous.

Alice floated silently behind Yi Lin without touching the ground.

On that pale face, scars were cracked again, and blood oozes out.

"I said Miss Alice, it's useless for you to scare me with special effects here." Yi Lin turned her head and said with a smile.

Yi Lin has long been immune to this kind of visual feast, not to mention a translucent non-touching spirit like Alice, who still has two ends in his warehouse, which is not uncommon.

Alice remained silent, but quickly took back the blood on her face, and the fresh blood scar on her face healed slowly, smooth as ever.

"I guess, your man is on top."

Alice bowed her head: "I hate him, but our fate is connected."

"The kind that loves you so much and hates so much? Oh, I'm sorry, I should put it in a more down-to-earth way... Oh, you hope that he will die in this life, and never find a lover who loves him more than you? "

Under Yi Lin's ridicule, even though there was no wine at this time, Alice finally told her story.

"Our ship encountered it that day, and..."

Then, then there is no then.

Alice seemed to be recalling the terrible scene at the time, her expression was grim, and her spiritual body trembled slightly.

"He is Alice's fiancé. His long brown hair is like the hair of a lion. It is slightly curly and delicate. His eyes are like stars and diamonds. They are dazzling. Oh, his singing voice is like The most luxurious bell of pure gold, oh..."

Yi Lin had a weird expression and interrupted Alice's singing: "Don't oh oh oh, my orientation is normal, you don't need to describe it in such detail, it sounds to me like your ex-husband is rich?"

Alice's fantasy was interrupted by Yi Lin, the confusion in her eyes dissipated without a trace, and she pressed her lips tightly: "It doesn't matter, he is a very talented musician."

Yi Lin laughed and said, "Well, well-matched love, then what?"

Alice continued: "We were lucky enough to survive in the lifeboat. It didn't seem to be interested in us. We drifted on the sea for seven days..."

"There was no food, no fresh water, and I was severely dehydrated with a persistent high fever, and so was he."

"Alice remembered that on the night of the seventh day, there was a fog all around, and it seemed that someone was singing in the fog."

"He blurted out the names of twenty-three women, including Alice's own aunt and grandmother."

hiss--

Yi Lin suddenly took a breath.

Alice: "?"

Yi Lin: "Nothing, please continue."

"So Alice questioned him the next day why he said the names of those women in his dream. After that, we scuffled on the boat with the last of our strength."

"In the end, I died and he lived. But we were completely one."

Alice's understated tone made Yi Lin unable to react for a while.

But after a little thought, I found something was wrong.

Integrate?

"Wait." Yi Lin raised her head and stared into Alice's eyes: "You mean...he ate you?"

Alice grinned, her two rows of white teeth gleamed white in the firelight: "He can't abandon Alice anymore, Alice is sure."

"Oh." It took Yi Lin a few seconds to calmly accept the ending of this horror story.

Alice looked confused: "???"

She didn't expect Yi Lin's reaction to be so calm.

"So, yours is in Shipwreck Bay?"

Alice laughed, but said another thing: "Before Alice died, she cast a curse... Cursing that his soft hair will wither completely, and his charming voice will be as unbearable as a blower." , he will decay like a corpse, his skin will be covered with pustules that will never heal, and the stench from his body will make no one dare to approach him... Alice cursed him, cursed him with Alice's flesh and blood, and used the last Painful way to live well."

"As a price, Alice also became an undead." Alice closed her eyes intoxicated, and pointed in the direction of Shipwreck Bay: "Alice can feel that he is there..."

Shipwreck Bay?

Is it a coincidence or is it?

Yi Lin thought for a moment: "What's the name of your ex-boyfriend?"

"Hee hee, Nicholas Zhao! The man who is connected with Alice's fate."

Yi Lin: "..."

The moment she heard this name, Yi Lin didn't think about anything else, and she wasn't shocked, let alone surprised.

but—

"It turns out that there are people more unlucky than me in this role-playing mode."

After learning the complete horror version of "Alice's Honeymoon", Yi Lin silently mourned for a few seconds for the martyr who played "Nicholas Zhao".

Yi Lin finally decided not to dive into Shipwreck Bay for Alice in such an environment full of accidents.

If the guess is correct, there must be an important hidden plot side mission hidden in Alice. Once completed, it is very likely that the final mission evaluation will be greatly improved.

Just like the "treasure map of the touchstone".

Yi Lin really doesn't have so much energy and manpower to dig out more side plots and tasks.

Although it is a bit regrettable, there are gains and losses. Under Gu Tianqing's operation, the destruction of Shipwreck Bay is now a foregone conclusion.

I don't know who killed Nicholas Zhao in the end in this round of artillery fire.

After Alice finished telling the story, seeing that Yi Lin was completely unmoved and had no intention of landing in Shipwreck Bay, the corner of her mouth twitched and disappeared from Yi Lin's head.

The sound of gunfire outside the ship gradually subsided.

Gunpowder smoke filled the sea, and when Yi Lin wiped her face, it was full of residual gunpowder smell, which was extremely pungent.

It is conceivable how much firepower the nine warships invested in order to completely destroy Shipwreck Bay.

Sudden.

Erin lowered her head.

After the gunfire subsided, he waited for a long time for the reminder, but he was not late and appeared in front of Yi Lin on time.

"Sure enough." Yi Lin remained expressionless.

[The key landmark "Shipwreck Bay" was completely destroyed. 】

【…】

Tower, seemed silent.

It seems to be calculating again.

[Found a known "conflict". 】

[Dealing with "conflict"...]

[Processed. 】

[Revisit the main mission 2. 】

[Main quest 2 is re-released: Raise the reputation to "Famous" or rank to "Major General". Current faction: Pirates (Navy). Mission Reward: Unknown. Time limit: None. Penalty: None. 】

[The main mission 2 is completed in an instant! Reward: The final evaluation level +1 when clearing customs clearance! 】

【warn. 】

【warn. 】

【warn. 】

here we go again.

Yi Lin suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

[Detected that the main task 2 was completed in an "abnormal way"...]

[The difficulty of the trial has been raised to... Nightmare level! 】

[Clear the "death point" settlement, difficulty bonus +40%]

[Reminder: Please ask yourself for blessings. 】

Yi Lin: "???"

[Main task 3 released...]
