Chapter 216: Nicholas Zhao

[Main task three: Seal "Calypso" and kill the "Devil King"! The clearance evaluation will be obtained according to the hidden kill contribution. Mission accomplished: return to the real world. Mission failed: Complete deprivation of apostle qualifications! 】

"..."

at this time.

Yi Lin felt that she should say "What the hell?", it would be more appropriate.

But he couldn't tell.

The result of Gu Tianqing's actions this time was not unexpected, but also reasonable.

Although it was a step late, Yi Lin didn't notice the tricks hidden in the second main mission until Shipwreck Bay was completely destroyed.

Some people may wonder whether Yi Lin's experience of living a new life was used to feed Wang Tiandi.

Yi Lin whispered two words: "Time limit."

Surrounded by silence.

As the artillery fire subsided, the cabin returned to darkness again.

Yi Lin closed the window silently, lest the idle navy would mistakenly think that Elizabeth Lin was going to jump into the sea to escape.

When pondering whether there were traps in the description of the main mission, Yi Lin paid more attention to the difference of "camp".

Unexpectedly, there was a small hole in the tower in the task completion time limit.

And from the tower's reaction, it can be inferred that the "time limit" is actually not a literal trap deliberately given by "the tower", but a "conflict" that was unintentionally born under the rules.

The original main task two is——

[As one of the "Nine Pirate Kings", participate in the "Pirate Conference" held in Shipwreck Bay three months later. 】

As for the "task time limit", there are additional restrictions.

[Task time limit: before the "Pirate Conference" is held. 】

In other words.

The time limit for the second main mission of the original version is different from the usual ones. It does not simply stipulate how many days or hours.

but by the "Pirate Convention at Shipwreck Cove in three months' time,"

And "before the pirate meeting" two rules constitute.

In fact, in principle, there is no problem.

It may be suspected as an afterthought, but Yi Lin had thought of two possibilities not long ago.

What if the Pirate Convention cannot take place?

Or the place where the pirate convention was held... Shipwreck Bay, if it is completely wiped off the map, what will happen?

Then this so-called "task time limit" will disappear completely, which means that even if the task is never completed, there will be no penalty.

To put it simply...the main mission is stuck.

This may be the "conflict" clearly stated in the prompt.

In the end, the tower's method of dealing with this "conflict" is also very simple and rude.

Directly change it to allow everyone to complete it instantly, which is almost a free task content, and skip the main task two.

What is obvious is that the rewards for the second mainline mission that were skipped in this way were secretly replaced with bad checks, that is, rewards that are paid after customs clearance.

It's like saying: "Want to get a reward? Hehe, if you have the ability to live to the end, let's talk about it."

It made Yi Lin feel the malice and bad taste coming from the tower.

Because the main task 2 was completed in such a way as to find a loophole, the final result was to forcibly increase the difficulty and advance to the nightmare level trial.

Nightmare class.

Yi Lin complained inwardly, can he still let people do the trial?

The last time in Gotham City, it was inexplicably raised to the nightmare level difficulty.

But the Nightmare level is not yet unsolvable, and Yi Lin doesn't have too much pessimism.

It's not time to despair.

An old driver must have the calmness of an old driver.

It's just... Yi Lin shook her head helplessly.

Even if ordinary people see through this loophole about the time limit in the main mission, will they choose to test the bottom line of the "tower" in this crazy way?

After seeing through the loophole in the time limit, Yi Lin quickly deduced that once the Shipwreck Bay is destroyed and a "conflict" is actively created, it will definitely change the next mission drastically.

This is equivalent to forcing the "tower's will" to make a choice.

With such a bold and crazy move, Yi Lin would definitely not be able to do such a thing before she was 90% sure that things would develop in a good direction.

"He's a lunatic and a gambler."

It's not all bad.

At least Yi Lin began to see Gu Tianqing's character gradually.

This kind of person is not uncommon among the apostles, but a crazy gambler who can use such a calm expression like Gu Tianqing, disregarding his own life and death and completely disregarding the consequences... is very rare in my impression.

"Um?"

Yi Lin sensed that someone was approaching.

The other party did not deliberately hide his tracks, and his footsteps stepped steadily in the corridor on the second floor.

After a few seconds.

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

The door opened instantly.

When Gu Tianqing knocked on the door, Yi Lin had already twisted her hand on the doorknob.

Gu Tianqing said with a smile: "I'm a little surprised that you were able to open the door at the first time, to be honest."

"I was surprised too."

"Accidental mainline mission change?"

"No, I was surprised that it was you who came to shoot my door, a lonely man and a widow. Do you think I explained to others that you came to me to discuss the script? Do they believe it?"

Gu Tianqing's eyes froze slightly, but she shook her head, not intending to continue, she let out a chuckle, and repeated the rhetorical question just now in the form of an affirmative sentence: "The main mission has changed."

After speaking, Gu Tianqing calmly looked into Yi Lin's eyes.

Gu Tianqing seemed to be observing the expression changes on Yi Lin's face, even the subtle tremors of facial muscles, or the diameter of pupils, trying to see what Yi Lin was thinking from the micro-expressions.

"I know, I'm not blind."

Yi Lin also turned back with a poker face.

After a moment of silence.

The corner of Gu Tianqing's mouth rose slightly: "Your reaction surprised me again."

"What else? Should I cry?"

Gu Tianqing: "..."

Yi Lin felt secretly refreshed by making this guy a little snack.

Yi Lin didn't bother to ask Gu Tianqing how he got the Tiramisu so that the navy bombarded Shipwreck Bay regardless of the cost.

If you ask him, he may not say it, and if you say it, it may not be true, so Yi Lin is too lazy to waste her words.

After stepping on the deck, Yi Lin found that the tiramisu was refreshed and blushed after firing several rounds of cannonballs. It seemed that as the fortress of Shipwreck Bay was completely razed, the depression in tiramisu's heart was also swept away. As for Kong, all he had to do was engrave the word "Shuang" on the center of his forehead for viewing.

Gu Tianqing drew out three tarot cards in an old-fashioned tone: "Oh, Your Excellency, my Tarot cards tell me that there may be clues in the ruins."

Tiramisu's expression froze. Although he didn't fully believe Gu Tianqing's words, this man had already proved through facts that his divination was terribly accurate, and now that Shipwreck Bay has become ruins, it's not a bad idea to search for it.

After thinking about it, nine warships finally formed a search team to search for the remaining traces in the ruins of Shipwreck Bay.

Yi Lin chuckled, took out the small fan again, and shook it in front of the tiramisu a few times: "Ah, the weather is a bit cold, but it looks very warm over there. Can I go search with Consultant Kuo Shiro?"

Tiramisu reminded: "It's Harushiro Amakusa... My lady, go! Be safe."

Gu Tianqing: "..."

Before Yi Lin and others landed.

In the former Shipwreck Bay, it is full of devastation, and the former posture has long been unrecognizable.

Under the fierce bombardment, the fortress that had stood for decades finally came to an end, marking a tragic end in history.

Originally, in the hidden place in Shipwreck Bay, several pirate ships were docked.

But under the crazy bombardment of nine warships regardless of cost, those pirate ships also turned into wrecks on the sea, the kind that could not be pieced back together no matter how hard they were put together.

Countless mutilated and charred corpses, still exuding a strong smell of barbecue, were piled up in the ruins.

You can even see some internal organs, severed limbs, and plasma that can barely distinguish the shape, part or all of which are glued together with the surrounding ruins, making it difficult to distinguish each other.

Even barely intact corpses were bombed into various strange shapes. Some are like the word "big", some are like the word "wood", and some are like the word "tai".

slap.

Suddenly, there was a slight movement in one of the corpses.

Immediately afterwards, an arm wafting black smoke suddenly stretched out from the pile of corpses, carrying the terrifying aura of my fate.

After a few minutes.

A "person" whose skin was peeling off and covered with terrible abscesses moved towards the coast step by step.

Burns and abscesses were mixed together, leaving almost no part of this "person" intact, and an indescribable smell was spreading around.

If there are other people here, they may be able to tell that this is the smell that seems to be emitted from roasted meat after it rots again.

"How can it be--"

"No, no, no, I, Zhao Xingchen, how could I die here, I don't—"

"You're not fair! You're not fair! Why am I the only one who started like this!!"

Zhao Xingchen let out a hoarse growl, his voice was thick and broken, like the screeching sound of a blower blower, it sounded very strange.

"You're unfair ah ah ah ah—"

A hoarse and deep roar echoed faintly in the pocket-shaped Shipwreck Bay terrain, echoing the sound of the waves one after another.

Zhao Xingchen, or Nicholas Zhao, staggered to the shore.

In the dark night, small lifeboats, with lights on board, were quickly heading towards the ruins of Shipwreck Bay.

suddenly.

Zhao Xingchen was shocked.

He opened the apostle panel and sent a series of question marks to "Gu Tianqing" who was still on in the friend list.

The answer is one sentence.

——"The other party is busy, please do not disturb."

Do not disturb mode! Do not disturb mode! Do not disturb mode!

Damn Gu Tianqing!

It's Gu Tianqing——

It's him!

Zhao Xingchen's eye sockets were bleeding instantly.

Zhao Xingchen had come to the shore at this time, and there were shipwrecks in front of his eyes, and even some of the shipwrecks were still burning with flames that had not had time to extinguish.

Plop!

Zhao Xingchen's feet went limp and he fell into the icy sea water.

The salt in the seawater irritated the abscesses and burns on his body, but it couldn't make Zhao Xingchen feel pain.

Just because under this kind of severe injury, the peripheral nerves of the epidermis were almost burned, and there were not many remnants, and the pain sensation was lost.

in the darkness.

Zhao Xingchen sank quickly.

Deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper, as if there is an endless abyss and purgatory underneath.

At this moment, the sea water surrounding Zhao Xingchen strangely formed sea currents, and a "human face" made of sea currents appeared strangely in front of Zhao Xingchen.

"Have you changed your mind now, outsider?"

Zhao Xingchen nodded frantically.

He just wanted to... live!

No matter what happens next, he just wants to live!

Anyway, it was Nicholas Zhao who made the deal with Calypso, is it related to him, Zhao Xingchen?

The sound of the waves seemed to condense into a strange laughter.

"As you wish, hehehe..."
