“……”

At this time.

Irin felt as if she should say, "What's the matter?" It would be more appropriate for the occasion.

But he couldn't say it.

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

Although he was a step late, Irin only noticed the hidden cats in the main quest two before the complete destruction of Shipwreck Bay.

Some people may wonder if the experience of Yi Rin's reliving life has been fed to Emperor Wang.

Irin whispered two words: "Time limit." ”

Silence all around.

As the fire subsided, darkness returned to the cabin.

Irin silently closes the window, so that the Navy, who is not idle, will find out and mistakenly think that Elizabeth Rin is planning to jump into the sea and escape.

At that time, when wondering if there were any traps in the description of the main quest, Irin focused more on the "faction" distinction.

But I didn't expect the tower to have a big hole in the time limit for completing the task.

Moreover, from the reaction of the tower, it can be inferred that the "time limit" is not actually a text trap deliberately given by the "tower", but a "conflict" that was inadvertently born under the rules.

The original main quest two are-

[As one of the "Nine Pirate Kings", participate in the "Pirate Convention" that will be held again in Shipwreck Bay in three months.] 】

However, with regard to the "time frame of the mandate", there is a separate limit.

[Mission Duration: Before the "Pirate Tournament" takes place.] 】

Other words.

The original main quest 2 time limit is different from the usual ones, and it is not simply a matter of how many days or hours.

Rather, it consists of two rules: "the pirate convention to be held in Shipwreck Bay in three months" and "before the pirate convention".

In fact, in principle, there is no problem.

Maybe it's an afterthought, but Irin had thought of two possibilities not long ago.

What if the Pirate Convention can't be held?

Or the location of the pirate convention...... What about Shipwreck Bay, completely wiped off the map?

Then this so-called "task time limit" will disappear completely, which means that even if you never complete this task, you will not be punished in any way.

To put it simply...... The main quest is stuck.

This may be the "conflict" that is explicitly stated in the prompt.

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

Directly changed to allow everyone to complete it instantly, almost for free, the content of the mission, and skip the main quest two.

What is obvious is that the main quest 2 reward, which was skipped in this way, was stolen into a blank check, which is a reward that is paid after clearing the level.

It's like saying, "Want to get a reward? Hehe, I have the ability to live to the end. ”

Makes Irin feel the malice and bad taste from the tower.

Because the main quest two was completed in this way that was almost a loophole, the final result was that the difficulty was forcibly raised and promoted to the Nightmare Trial.

Nightmare level.

Yi Rin secretly complained, can you still let people do a good trial?

The last time I was in Gotham City, it was also inexplicably raised to nightmare difficulty.

But the nightmare level is not yet unsolvable, and Irin doesn't have much pessimism.

This is not the time to despair.

The old driver has to have the calmness of the old driver.

Merely...... Irin shook her head helplessly.

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

After seeing through the loophole in the time limit, Irin quickly deduced that once the destruction of Shipwreck Bay and the initiative to create a "conflict" would definitely make a huge difference in the next mission.

This is tantamount to forcing the "will of the tower" to make a choice.

With such a bold and crazy move, Irin would never have been able to do such a thing until he was 90% sure that things would turn in a good direction.

"He's a madman and he's a gambler."

It's not all bad.

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

This kind of person is not uncommon among the apostles, but he can use such a calm expression like Gu Tianqing to put his own life and death aside and completely reckless about the consequences...... Very little in my mind.

"Huh?"

Irin sensed someone approaching.

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

After a few seconds.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

The door opened in an instant.

When Yi Rin knocked on the door, she had already screwed her hand on the doorknob.

Gu Tianqing said with a smile: "I was a little surprised that you could open the door as soon as possible, to be honest." ”

"I was surprised, too."

"Unexpected main quest change?"

"No, what surprised me was that you actually came to shoot my door, a lonely man and a widow, do you think I explained to other people, and you came to me to discuss the script, do they believe it?"

Gu Tianqing's eyes froze slightly, but he shook his head, not planning to pick up the stubble, let out a chuckle, and retold the rhetorical question just now in the form of an affirmative sentence: "The main quest has changed." ”

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

Gu Tianqing seemed to be observing the changes in the expression on Irin's face, even down to the tremor of his facial muscles, or the diameter of his pupils, wanting to get a glimpse of what Irin was thinking from the micro-expression.

"I know, I'm not blind."

Irin slammed back with a poker face as well.

After a moment of silence.

The corners of Gu Tianqing's mouth rose slightly: "Your reaction surprised me a little. ”

"Or else? Should I cry out? ”

Gu Tianqing: "......"

made this guy have a little snack, and Yi Rin's heart was secretly refreshed.

Yi Rin didn't bother himself and asked Gu Tianqing how he fooled Tiramisu into letting the navy bombard Shipwreck Bay regardless of the cost.

He may not say it when asked, and what he says may not be true, so Irin is too lazy to waste his lips and tongue.

After stepping onto the deck, Irin's face was flushed after a few rounds of cannon shots, and it seemed that as the fortress in Shipwreck Bay was completely razed, Tiramisu's depression was swept away, and he almost engraved the word "cool" in the center of his head for viewing.

Gu Tianqing used the tone of an old god stick to find out three tarot cards: "Oh, Your Excellency, my tarot cards tell me that there may be clues in the ruins. ”

Tiramisu's face froze, although he didn't fully believe Gu Tianqing's words, but this man had already proved that his divination was indeed terrifyingly accurate, and now that Shipwreck Bay was also in ruins, it was not impossible to go up and search.

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

Irin smiled, took out the small fan again, and shook it a few times in front of Tiramisu: "Well, it's a little cold, it looks warm over there, can I follow Advisor Kushiro to search?" ”

Tiramisu reminded, "It's Harushiro Amakusa...... My lady, go for it! Stay safe. ”

Gu Tianqing: "......"

Before Irin and the others landed.

The former shipwreck bay is full of devastation, and it is no longer possible to recognize the former posture.

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

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

But under the frantic bombardment of nine warships regardless of the cost, those pirate ships also turned into wreckage on the sea, the kind that can't be put back no matter how hard you put it together.

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

You can even see barely discernible viscera, severed limbs, and blood plasma, partially or completely glued to the wreckage of the surrounding ruins, making it difficult to distinguish from 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 "too".

Smack.

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

Immediately after, an arm with black smoke suddenly stretched out from the pile of corpses, carrying a terrifying momentum that my life could not help me.

A few minutes later.

A "man" with peeling skin and terrible abscesses all over his skin, moving towards the shore step by step.

Burns and abscesses were mixed together, leaving almost no part of the "man" intact, spreading an indescribable smell all around.

If anyone else is here, they may be able to tell that it is as if the roasted meat has been re-rotten.

"How is that possible-"

"No, no, no, I, Zhao Xingchen, how can I die here, I don't-"

"You're not fair! You're not fair! Why is it that I am the only one who starts like this!! ”

Zhao Xingchen let out a hoarse roar from his mouth, and his voice was thick and broken, like the shrill sound of hula hula from a blower, which sounded very weird.

"You're not fair, ahh

A hoarse, low roar echoed through the pocket-shaped terrain of Shipwreck Bay, echoing the sound of the waves.

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

In the dark night, small lifeboats, with lights on them, are speeding towards the ruins of Shipwreck Bay.

Suddenly.

Zhao Xingchen was shocked.

He opened the apostle panel and sent a series of question marks towards the still lit "Gu Tianqing" in his friends list.

The reply was a sentence.

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

Do Not Disturb! Do Not Disturb! Do Not Disturb!

The weather is sunny in the valley!

It's Gu Tianqing——

It's him!

Zhao Xingchen's eyes were bleeding instantly.

Zhao Xingchen had already come to the shore at this time, and there were shipwrecks all over his eyes, and even some of the shipwrecks were still burning with flames that had not yet had time to be extinguished.

Poof!

Zhao Xingchen's feet softened and fell into the icy water.

The salt in the sea water stimulated the abscesses and burns on his body, but it could not make Zhao Xingchen feel pain.

Just because under this heavy blow, the peripheral nerves of the epidermis were almost burned out, and there was not much left, and the pain sense was lost.

In the dark.

Zhao Xingchen sank quickly.

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

At this moment, the sea water that wrapped Zhao Xingchen strangely formed a sea current, and a "human face" composed of ocean currents appeared strangely in front of Zhao Xingchen.

"Have you changed your mind now, outsider."

Zhao Xingchen nodded frantically.

He just wanted to ...... Stay alive!

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

Anyway, it was Nicholas Zhao who made a deal with Calypso, does it have anything to do with him Zhao Xingchen?

The sound of the waves seemed to condense into an eerie laugh.

"As you wish, hehehe......"
