Infinity Throne

Tiramisu walked onto the deck with a dark face.

Ever since the fleet encountered these disasters, her face has never looked better.

Smoking the long and narrow cigarette rod gracefully, Tiramisu meditated silently, then turned his head and looked towards Gu Tianqing, a naval adviser.

Yi Lin waved her fan and moved closer to Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu on the deck without leaving any trace.

In fact, as the warship sailed all the way north, after crossing latitudes, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot, but Yilin was used to the action of fanning to hide her expression in front of Gu Tianqing, and it didn't matter if she fanned a few times from time to time. not good.

After sailing for a few days, Elizabeth Lin, who seemed to have no threat, was almost treated as a transparent person by the tiramisu navy. Except for the normal routine, no one paid attention to Yi Lin's actions on the ship.

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

A small bead sank into the sea without causing too obvious waves.

Yi Lin habitually keeps the number of explosive beads at ten. Anyway, he is not a captain now, so he does not need to worry about sailing. When he is idle and aching, he can spend some time to remember the time of rubbing the explosive beads. It's a good way to kill boring time.

"Shipwreck Cove?"

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

So he became even more serious and listened carefully.

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

Yi Lin thought with a little regret.

"Divination...cannot...believe...route...shipwreck bay..."

Tiramisu was not stupid enough to shout about anything. With his voice lowered, Yi Lin could not hear the entire content of the discussion between the two.

If he got closer, the eavesdropping would be too blatant.

Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu are still having a heated discussion.

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

Gu Tianqing just smiled and shook his head.

From the few words, Gu Tianqing seemed to be righteously rejecting some of Tiramisu's excessive demands.

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 somewhat indifferent.

Tiramisu's expression seemed to have softened a lot.

Their voices dropped lower.

finally.

Tiramisu nodded, left the deck again, and passed the order through the adjutant, one after another, allowing all the navy to be active and perform their duties.

Yi Lin:?

After thinking for a moment, Yi Lin must ask Gu Tianqing a question, whether it is acting or genuine curiosity, emotional or rational.

actually.

After getting on board the ship, Yi Lin once considered whether to take advantage of the silence of the night to kill the two top naval officials, Tiramisu and the Governor, which might increase their reputation among pirates.

But when Yi Lin thought about the possible plot that might happen next, she gave up the idea temporarily.

After all, under the premise that Yilin does not have his own ship, if he snatches these ten warships, he may not be able to convince all the navy to abandon the dark side and become pirates.

And whether you take the identity of Elizabeth Lin or put on the vest of the Skeleton Gentleman, and start killing people on this ship, your true identity will undoubtedly be exposed. After all, Gu Tianqing is also on the ship.

The "tarot card divination" ability 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.

This kind of ability is extremely rare even in the future. If Gu Tianqing could predict Yilin's attack in advance, it would most likely put him in an unfavorable situation.

Although it seems that some of the predictions in tarot card divination rely on imagination, being able to predict a general direction is an extremely terrifying ability.

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

Besides, it's not time to break up with Gu Tianqing yet.

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

If you are not absolutely sure to completely eliminate an apostle from the trial mission, you must not form a deadly feud with the apostle, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble when you return to the real world.

Either be absolutely sure of a complete kill, or take advantage of the general trend of the trial and trap the apostles in the trial without leaving any trace.

Just like how Yi Lin quietly killed Zhu Yun'er in Gotham City, 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 had wanted to take advantage of Gu Tianqing's inattention to grab a tarot card and check it out to see if any "attributes" could appear.

Gu Tianqing was already on guard against Yi Lin's move, but Yi Lin's fingertips only slightly touched the cards, but did not get what he wanted.

But that brief touch also made Yi Lin discover something.

Gu Tianqing's tarot cards...the material is abnormal.

It's not the smooth texture of ordinary cards.

The feeling given to Yi Lin was a bit familiar, like a piece of human skin stuck on the forehead of the main body that could not be removed by picking.

Later, Yi Lin looked back and thought carefully, and she strongly suspected that Gu Tianqing's tarot cards were made of human skin.

But Yi Rin only had suspicions and no evidence.

Tarot cards made of human skin.

Black card back, bloody texture.

These characteristics are weird no matter how you look at them.

Back to business.

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

Gu Tianqing looked towards this side with a smile, and raised her index finger to her mouth, making a "shhhhhhh" gesture.

Yi Lin: "..."

Half an hour later.

at night.

The temperature is lower.

There is mist all around.

However, this kind of fog is not like the weird thick fog that looks like water mist but is not water mist in the foggy sea where the undead exist. It is a normal climate phenomenon in which water mist in the lower atmosphere of the ocean condenses at a lower temperature. It has no special connotation.

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

There was a dim light ahead.

One, two, three—

The closer we get, the lights ahead are like fireflies at night, gradually gathering together, forming a hazy yellow light in the night fog. From the range of this light, we can roughly infer that there should be an island-like building ahead.

suddenly.

Right now.

Yi Lin's chest tightened suddenly.

Suddenly, a soft sigh came from Yi Lin's ear.

The sighs were vague and absent, like weeping and complaining. They seemed to be ringing in the ears, and they seemed to be coming from the tight and swaying chest.

Alice?

"Hiss—it's so cold. I'd better go back to the cabin and stay there."

Yi Lin's eyes were slightly focused, but her expression showed a hint of discomfort. In the eyes of everyone, Yi Lin held up her long skirt and walked toward her cabin.

By the way, although Elizabeth Lin, played by Yi Lin, has the status of "the governor's fiancée", the plot does not seem to be so bloody that it forces Yi Lin and the governor to be in the same cabin and they are obsessed with each other. A relatively quiet cabin in the corner was specially arranged on the second floor of the 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 on a night dire.

Before entering the cabin, Tiramisu saw Yi Lin preparing to hide. Instead, she happily blew out smoke rings and forced a smile on her tight pretty face: "Oh, beautiful lady, we may have something to do next. Due to the actions, the hull of the ship may be bumpy and there will be some noise outside. I hope not to disturb Ms. Elizabeth Lin, hahaha."

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

Tiramisu: "..."

Click.

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

Yi Lin had searched the room inside and out, and there was no equipment similar to bugs or surveillance equipment.

But if the equipment is really advanced to the point where even Yi Lin can't recognize it, Yi Lin won't be able to say anything.

Before seeing the infrared sensing device and 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 if I told it.

Of course, the apostles’ experiences cannot be described to ordinary people.

Huhuhu——

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

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

"Alice?"

While observing the movement outside the ship, Yi Lin whispered in the room and called to the lonely mother spirit from the foggy sea, Alice.

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

The [Alice's Curse Corset] is just worn on the chest, and Alice's curse is placed on it, but it is not like Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu in the spirit-possessed weapons, which can come and go at a moment's notice. Yi Lin felt very helpless. If the effect of increasing the charm value of the equipment was not really good, maybe Yi Lin would regret the decision to wear this cursed corset.

"..."

"..."

"..."

oh? Alice actually didn't like him.

There was no sound anymore, just like the faint sigh just now, it was just an illusion.

"Haha, where do all these illusions come from?" Yi Lin raised his head and looked in the direction of Shipwreck Bay through the window: "Shipwreck Bay? It is now nearly a month before the so-called Pirates Conference in Pirates Main Mission 2. Reputation. Isn’t it worthy enough to be a Pirate King, or... are there other conditions needed to become a Pirate King?”

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

"Main mission two...Shipwreck Bay..."

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

Because she was afraid of being cheated "in the past", Yi Lin had already developed the habit of writing down every word published by Ta.

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

[Task time limit: before the "Pirate Conference" is held. Penalty for mission failure: Suffering one or two random "curses". Mission reward: unknown. 】

"Pirate conference in three months? Mission time limit...?"

Suddenly, something clicked in Yi Lin's mind, like a sudden enlightenment.

on deck.

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

At the stern of Lucky No. 2, next to the main helm, Tiramisu raised his cigarette pole high, smiled coldly, and issued an order that countless people had been waiting for a long time.

"Fire at Shipwreck Cove...!!!"

The signal to fire was quickly transmitted to the remaining eight warships.

In an instant, the sound of loading cannonballs from various warships in all directions of Shipwreck Bay completely broke the silence in this sea area.

Click, click, click, click...

Boom boom boom boom!

Countless gun barrels, within the range of the shooting range, simultaneously spit out terrifying firelight towards the Shipwreck Bay. Wave after wave, round after round of bombardment, with almost no pause, the night fog was covered in the blink of an eye. The dim light was completely submerged.

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 mist, but the smoke caused by too much cannon fire, which was extremely scary.

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

The caliber of cannons on the remaining nine warships is not comparable to that used by pirates. This can be seen just by looking at the rows of cannon barrels protruding from the iron plates. The muzzles are dark and thick.

Shipwreck Bay is also a place well-known 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 deserted fortress in Shipwreck Bay is located in the middle of the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Generally speaking, No navy would choose such a thankless place to earn work points.

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

Even if you don't pay attention to those little shrimp pirates, they might die on the sea one day.

dark night.

Shipwreck Cove.

Nine warships.

Dense fog and smoke.

The sky was filled with artillery fire.

All of this formed the magnificent picture in front of me. Gu Tianqing stood on the bow of the boat. No one knew what he was thinking about at the moment. His expression was neither happy nor sad.

at the same time.

In the second cabin.

Just when Yi Lin was about to hold up her skirt, summon the Night Dire and try [Dark Night Mode] to sneak into the Shipwreck Bay to see if she could get some benefit from the chaos, Yi Lin made a move.

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

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

So Yi Lin retracted her legs again.

I also gave up my plan to sneak up to Shipwreck Bay.

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

"Is it a BUG? I've encountered a lot of BUGs recently? Or is this a new way to pass the level that I've never thought of before?"

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

"Gu Tianqing also discovered it? No, how could he know that the main mission of the pirates is related to the Shipwreck Bay? Is there... a mole among the pirates?"

But as soon as this idea flashed through her mind, Yi Lin found it ridiculous and couldn't help but laugh to herself.

The so-called pirates should not have a camp in the first place. How can they be called a camp if they only fight for profit without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy?

Now there are two apostles left who have never met, and their roles are most likely to be "Nicholas Zhao" and "Indiana Jones".

Among these two people, is there anyone secretly joining forces with Gu Tianqing?

Or is it……?

Boom boom boom.

There is still crazy sex outside, which seems to be endless.

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

Yi Lin was still thinking in the dark.

The light of the artillery fire reflected a gorgeous red light on Elizabeth Lin's fair skin, making this woman in the darkness look as delicate as a flower.

In the cabin.

Silence lasted for several minutes.

Suddenly, Yi Lin didn't look back and laughed softly: "You really want to go to Shipwreck Bay?"

I don’t know when, but the translucent lonely mother spirit Alice appeared behind Yi Lin with a gloomy expression, making the atmosphere in the cabin a little more inexplicably creepy and strange.

Alice floated silently behind Yi Lin, never touching the ground.

On the pale face, scars reopened and blood oozed.

"Miss Alice, it's useless for you to scare me just by using 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 spirit like Alice that does not touch the ground. He still has two of them in the warehouse, which is not uncommon.

Alice remained silent, but she took back the blood on her face in one swipe. The fresh blood scars on her face slowly healed and became as smooth as ever.

"Let me guess, your man is up there."

Alice lowered her head: "I hate him, but our fates are connected."

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

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

"That day, our ship encountered it, and then..."

Then, and then no more.

Alice seemed to be recalling the terrible scene, her expression was ferocious, and her spiritual body was trembling slightly.

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

Yi Lin had a strange 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 very rich?"

Alice's fantasy was interrupted by Yi Lin, and the confusion in her eyes immediately disappeared, and she pursed her lips tightly: "It doesn't matter, he is a very talented musician."

Yi Lin chuckled and said, "Well, a perfect match for love, and then what?"

Alice continued: "We were lucky enough to survive on the lifeboat, which seemed to have no interest in us. We drifted on the sea for seven full days..."

"Without food and fresh water, I suffered from severe dehydration and high fever, and so did he."

"Alice remembers that on the seventh night, there was fog all around, and someone seemed to be singing in the fog."

"He vaguely named twenty-three women, including Alice's aunt and grandmother."

hiss--

Yi Lin suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Alice: "?"

Yi Lin: "Nothing, please continue."

"So Alice asked him the next day why he said the names of those women in his dream, and then we used our last strength to fight on the boat."

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

Alice's understatement made Yi Lin unable to react.

But after thinking about it for a while, I found something was wrong.

Integrate into one?

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

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

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

Alice looked confused: "???"

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

"So, yours is in Shipwreck Cove?"

Alice smiled, but said another thing: "Before she died, Alice placed a curse... The curse would make his silky hair wither completely, and his charming voice would be as unpleasant as a blower." , he will rot like a corpse, and his skin will be covered with abscesses that will never heal. The stench emanating from his body will make no one dare to come near... Alice cursed him, cursed him to take Alice's flesh and blood, and use the last Live well in a painful way."

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

Shipwreck Cove?

Is it a coincidence or not?

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

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

Yi Lin: "..."

The moment she heard the name, Yi Lin didn't think about anything else. Her mood at the moment was neither shocked nor unexpected.

But——

"It turns out there is someone more unlucky than me in this role-playing mode."

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

Yi Lin finally decided not to sneak into the Shipwreck Bay for Alice in this environment full of changes.

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

Just like the "Philosopher's Stone Treasure Map".

Yilin really doesn't have that much energy and manpower now to explore more side plots and tasks.

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

I don’t know whose head Nicholas Zhao finally died in this round of gunfire.

After Alice finished telling her story, she saw that Yi Lin was completely unmoved and had no intention of landing in Shipwreck Bay. She curled her lips and disappeared from Yi Lin's head.

The sound of gunfire outside the ship gradually subsided.

The sea was filled with gunpowder smoke. When Yi Lin wiped it on his face, it was filled with the residual smell of gunpowder, which was extremely pungent.

One can imagine how much firepower the nine warships invested in order to completely destroy Shipwreck Bay.

Sudden.

Yi Lin lowered her head.

After the sound of the cannons subsided, the long-awaited reminder was not late and appeared in front of Yi Lin on time.

"Sure enough." Yi Lin's face was expressionless.

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

【……】

The tower seemed silent.

It's like calculating.

[Known "conflict" found. 】

[Handling "conflict"...]

【warn. 】

【warn. 】

【warn. 】

here we go again.

Yi Lin suddenly had an unknown premonition in her heart.

[It was detected that the main mission 2 was completed in an "abnormal way"...]

[The difficulty of the trial has been increased to... nightmare level! 】

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

[Warm reminder: Please ask for blessings. 】

Yi Lin: "???"

[The third main mission is released...]
