I don't know how long it took.

Irin let out a long sigh of relief.

"Information and intelligence are not equal? Looks like I still have the upper hand, hehe. ”

Although the map of this world is large, if I am not mistaken, it should be the world where the five apostles have descended.

Popularly known as the "five-person copy".

It is also the most common apostolic staffing in the world.

For Irin, the identities of the five people have been completely put on the table.

But for Gu Tianqing, who knows the most at present, these five people are: Gu Tianqing, Elizabeth Rin, Nicholas Zhao, Indiana Jones, and Skeleton Gentleman.

And the identity of this skeleton gentleman, Gu Tianqing probably still has a question mark in his heart.

The reason why Gu Tianqing made such a bold and lame temptation that people can see through at a glance when he first saw "Elizabeth Rin" was nothing more than noticing the role played by Yi Rin, and the obvious sense of disobedience in the eyes of the apostle.

1. Relationship with the Governor-General.

2. Reappearance after disappearance at a critical moment.

3. A name that seems a little out of harmony with the world.

Gu Tianqing is not stupid, and it is not surprising that he can guess the identity of Irin's apostle.

Therefore, in the conference room, Gu Tianqing would always look at Irin's actions as if he were nonchalant, and he would also make that kind of temptation.

As for Elizabeth Rin's other identity, Yi Rin believes that Gu Tianqing must have some suspicions, but there is no evidence.

"Tsk, this kind of person is the most troublesome."

This insidious character or something, the most annoying.

According to the words of the three admirals in the conference room, Irin's general guess was the main mission of the "Navy" camp.

Just as the pirate camp is trying its best to brush up on prestige, then the naval camp is very likely to use various means to brush up on a higher status...... Military rank or something.

As for what to do after brushing the corresponding rank, this is not something that the current Irin can know.

In the brief conversation with Gu Tianqing, although it seemed that Gu Tianqing had said a lot, there was almost no information that was really useful to Yi Rin.

It can be seen that Gu Tianqing is also an old yin beep, very cunning, and the technique of changing the topic and answering the question is so skillful that it is distressing.

Fortunately, because of the asymmetry of information, Gu Tianqing may be just guessing at the moment, but he is not sure enough to prove that Yi Rin and the skeleton gentleman are the same person.

After all, the timing of Elizabeth Rin's appearance and the disappearance of the skeleton gentleman in the sea are too coincidental, Gu Tianqing is not from this world, but there is no inertial thinking that "women are not allowed to go to sea".

The news of the Queen's death is believed to be spread across the sea soon.

Not long ago, Irin sent Ruth to wander around the tavern where the pirates secretly gathered in London, also to find out the relevant information.

In the carriage, Ruth's reaction also confirms that Irin's guess is not wrong.

Although Ruth only stopped for a moment, she also heard a lot of rumors.

The news of the shipwreck of the Skeleton Gentleman has been reported.

It's just that the life and death of the "skeleton gentleman" is still a mystery.

Some say that the Skeleton Gentleman died in that terrible hurricane, others say that the Skeleton Gentleman possessed black magic and was immortal, and some people have made it clear that the Skeleton Gentleman appeared on the shores of a certain country.

There are even exaggerated rumors, saying that the skeleton gentleman was taken by the Kraken and spent an unforgettable 9981 hours with various female Krakens.

In short, there are many legends, and it is impossible for Gu Tianqing not to receive the news.

After dinner, Ruth returned to Irin again.

Irin opened the apostle panel, took a look, and saw that the "abundant" buff was about to disappear, so he pointed to the sore shoulder and asked Ruth to knead it.

Ruth was surprised to see that Irin was so active, but she didn't refuse.

While applying the buff, Ruth triumphantly tells Irin what she has learned.

For an entire afternoon, Ruth walked among the maids and servants of the castle and asked for a lot of things.

"It's strange to me, I didn't expect you to even know about this kind of thing."

"Well, left, use some force."

Irin lay on the head of the bed, squinting his eyes, and did not explain his unfamiliarity with everything in "Swan Castle".

"I heard that there was once a female pirate who was once the head of the Swan family, and finally the family took possession of the castle. Oh, by the way, that pirate, maybe it's still your aunt. It's just that the maids don't know the name of the female pirate, after all, it was many years ago. ”

After listening to Ruth tell the various versions of the story of the maid and the servant in a tone that seemed to be talking about amusement, Irin opened her eyes with a hint of contemplation.

From the wardrobe, a dress that originally belonged to Elizabeth Rin was found, which was a more mobile-friendly women's outfit.

After getting dressed, Irin calculated the explosion time of the [Unstable Explosive] on his waist, opened the window, and prepared to jump outside.

This is the second floor.

Not high.

Ruth's eyes widened when she saw Irin's actions, and she couldn't help but ask, "Wait, my dear baby, you changed your clothes and were ready to go out?" ”

"yes, or else?"

"I thought—"

Yi Rin slowly typed a question mark: "Think?" Why? Hurry up and go out together. ”

"Ah...... Oh? ”

Ruth subconsciously raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The night in London is filled with a faint layer of fog.

This moonlight, lonely girls and widows, wilderness and mountains...... Ah, is it so exciting?

After struggling for a while, Ruth suppressed the reverie in her heart, and her tone trembled slightly: "Sister, what posture should I use later...... Ah no, what should I wear to go out with you? My captain. ”

Irin didn't explain.

With a slurp, he pulled out a pitch-black male tuxedo from nowhere.

Ruth froze where she was, feeling that Irin's thoughts seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined.

"Wait, my dear captain, where are we going?"

"Admiralty Governor's Palace."

Ruth was stunned: "What the fuck??? ”

Irin looked back at Ruth with a "you're wrong" look.

"I, Elizabeth Rin, as the Doge's fiancée, visit the Doge's Mansion at night...... Is there a problem? ”

Ruth: "......"

Ten minutes later.

With Ruth and the dog, Irin quietly slipped out of Swan Castle.

London at night is eerily silent.

It seems that in this era, all kinds of nightlife have not yet become popular, which is just the convenience of Irin's next action.

If he was alone, it would be easy to avoid everyone's attention, after all, he was a man living in the shadows.

But with Ruth and the dog, it's a bit uncomfortable if London is still crowded at night.

After Irin had set up Ruth and the dog, he went to the Governor's Mansion alone and in the usual way.

It is said that the man who stood at the top of the royal navy would stay in this place at night.

From a distance, the Governor's Palace is ornately designed, and everywhere is filled with the fragrance of money power.

Around the Governor's Palace, groups of guards patrolled in unison, alternating between patrols.

It's just that without the coverage of the cameras, the patrol of the naval guards is useless and useless for Irin.

Walking around the Governor's Palace, Irin's discovery of several entrances that could be infiltrated silently.

The guards patrol the route, not without dead ends.

It was the middle of the night.

Irin was about to move his feet when his chest trembled slightly.

Although there was no death mark on this body, the position of the vibration was the same as before, and every time it moved, Irin felt very uncomfortable.

"Where the dog?"

Before Irin opened the communication panel, he subconsciously thought that something had happened to the dog.

Unexpectedly, the person who contacted Irin at such a time turned out to be Gu Tianqing, who had only joined the communication list not long ago.

Originally, seeing Gu Tianqing's avatar vibrating, Yi Rin didn't want to pay attention to it.

But when he saw Gu Tianqing's opening remarks, his expression changed slightly, and then he squatted in the dark and silently chatted with Gu Tianqing privately-

Gu Tianqing: I really hope I guessed wrong, you weren't prepared to infiltrate the Governor's Palace.

Irin: Whew! How could it! I'm ready to wash and sleep!

Gu Tianqing: Hehe. If only it were true, that place is not as simple as you think.

Irin: Ah, the water is a little hot today. Not that simple? Have you been in?

Gu Tianqing: No.

Irin: Then how do you know that the Governor's Palace is not simple?

Gu Tianqing: Men's intuition?

Irin: ......

Gu Tianqing: Okay, I don't think we should continue to test each other, why don't we exchange information for the sake of testing?

Irin: Okay! You first.

Gu Tianqing: .......

Irin: ?

Gu Tianqing: OKOK, hehe, then I'll throw bricks and lead the jade first, this time, I found that the world view is a bit similar to that of a classic old movie hundreds of years ago.

Irin: I've had contact with the Skeletal Gentleman at sea.

Gu Tianqing: Huh? You didn't join the pirate camp?

Irin: It's time to exchange information, and I personally don't recommend replacing "information" with "question".

Gu Tianqing: Well, the Royal Navy is looking for something.

Irin: If I'm not mistaken, the Skeletal Gentleman should be pretty handsome. (drooling)

Gu Tianqing: ......, Kira Robert, there's something weird about you. (smiles)

Irin: The Skeleton Gentleman is a pirate faction. (smiles)

Gu Tianqing: If you continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to talk happily. (laughs and cries)

Irin: If you continue to use this kind of clue as "intelligence", I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking. (Nose picking)

……

While arguing with Gu Tianqing, Yi Rin used the [Xiao Thirteen Brand Ancient Knife] to pry open the window, and after releasing his perception and sensing that there was nothing abnormal behind the window, Yi Rin turned over and entered, his movements were flexible and skillful, and he did not alarm anyone.

"If the top of the naval camp is really just a few people in the conference room......

In the darkness, Irin had a dangerous glint in his eyes.

in a private chat channel.

Gu Tianqing was completely silent.

Unable to flicker, Gu Tianqing seemed to be thinking about another flickering posture and angle.

The Doge's Palace, dimly lit, so dark that only the outlines of the surrounding objects and walls could be seen.

Outside the window, the moonlight faintly penetrated, providing Irin with a very limited view.

Irin walked silently down the narrow corridor.

In contrast to the relatively tight patrols outside, the passages, decorated with delicate sculptures and raised thread-like patterns, are deserted.

The contrast was a little strange to Irin.

The current atmosphere actually gave Irin the illusion of exploring in a haunted house in the playground.

Inside the Doge's Palace, the structure is not complex at the architectural level.

After all, it's just a single-family building with only two floors.

Yi Rin first followed the stairs and walked up to the second floor, and while exploring the path with his senses, he found that the second floor was just an ordinary restaurant, study and the like, and nothing else special, so Yi Rin returned to the first floor.

He subconsciously stopped.

Think about it.

Why, or what, did he have the illusion of playing in a haunted house?

Oh?

His chest shuddered.

Damn Gu Tianqing began to send harassing messages again.

After thinking about it, Yi Rin decided to see what Gu Tianqing said first.

……

Gu Tianqing: Have you ever heard of the Demon King?

Irin: Well, have you ever heard of the Skeletal Gentleman?

Gu Tianqing: .......

This short ellipsis made Yi Rin couldn't help but make up his brain, and in a corner of this world, Gu Tianqing showed a disgusted expression.

Isn't it just to see who can't hold it first?

Who is afraid of whom?

In the dark.

Irin smiled, quite proud.

After Gu Tianqing paused for ten seconds, he finally changed his statement.

……

Gu Tianqing: I'm certain that the Royal Navy is looking for traces of the Demon King.

Irin: I've been on a skeleton gentleman ship for a while, and my identity is unknown, and my abilities may have something to do with the curse.

Gu Tianqing: Oh?

Irin: If you exchange information in this way of substituting questions instead of affirmative sentences, I think we should end this damn conversation.

Gu Tianqing: ......, if you want to join the naval camp, you just need to prove your ability.

Irin: To join the pirate faction, you must qualify as a captain, acquire a ship, and recruit a pirate crew. Well? Can you find the Demon King? Search skills?

Gu Tianqing: Hehe. There is a reason why they are eyeing "Elizabeth Rin", it is not as simple as a simple marriage. Looks like you've joined the pirate camp?

Irin: Guess? There are many local forces among the pirates, and the main quest of this side may be related to this.

Gu Tianqing: Hehe, you even know the main quest? Looks like I can't continue to be friends with you...... The navy is simple, just find a way to brush up the ranks.

……

Yi Rin and Gu Tianqing, in this way across time and space, are exchanging the "information" they have with each other.

Of course, neither Yi Rin nor Gu Tianqing will be naïve to think that the information provided by the two to each other is really 100% accurate, everyone is from the past, there is no need to completely tear their faces, and there is no need to hide and fool openly.

True and false, false and false, how much useful content can be extracted from this information depends on the ability.

Yi Rin knew that Gu Tianqing had doubts about her identity, and deliberately brought up the identity of the skeleton gentleman, which was nothing more than an extra layer of smoke bombs, as for whether Gu Tianqing could be fooled over, it depended on which layer the other party thought of.

Anyway, I guessed and speculated, and I couldn't draw a conclusion in the end.

Although Gu Tianqing didn't tell the truth completely, Yi Rin still figured out a lot of ...... Interesting content.

Just when Irin's was about to test Tani's ability again.

Suddenly.

Irin paused.

He was originally in the dark, while arguing with Gu Tianqing, while carefully pacing in the corridor.

And at this moment, the touch of "telekinetic perception" feedback is a little wrong.

He closed the chat interface with Gu Tianqing for the first time, and habitually set it to Do Not Disturb mode.

- lest the shaking of the movements distract Irin.

Ahead, there is no longer any fork in the road.

It is a narrow promenade.

Strangely, further along this corridor, there are no windows.

On both sides of the gallery are neatly arranged with oil paintings of different styles, and on the walls and ceilings of the corridor, they are covered with delicate reliefs, which are consistent with the style of the whole building, full of luxurious aristocratic atmosphere.

At intervals of about 3 meters, empty knights' armor was erected on both sides of the passage, which seemed to be the favorite decorative variety of the aristocracy.

A strange thought flashed through Irin's mind.

Shouldn't the armor suddenly click? This is already a cliché plot that was played badly many years ago.

Irin stopped where she was, taking a closer look.

"Huh?"

Irin suddenly noticed that the relief carvings on the ceiling and the two walls of the corridor, which he found strange, were more detailed and vivid than the decorative reliefs in other parts of the Doge's Palace, and that the story was continuous, like a comic strip, telling of a grand and joyous night feast, and people couldn't help but turn their heads and look at it more.

The eyes of each of the strangely posed, overlapping aristocratic faces on the reliefs are lifelike.

OK, that's it.

It's just that what makes Irin feel strange is not actually the posture of the nobles in the mural relief, nor the three-dimensional eyes.

Rather, in Irin's perception, in the obviously empty corridor in front of him, it seemed to be "filled" with something, but it was unrecognizable to the naked eye.

At the end of the hallway, there is a dark door, which, if you don't pay attention, seems to merge with the darkness.

Compared with the other lavish doors of the Doge's Palace, the Black Gate has an abrupt style and looks out of place.

"Is this especially afraid that people won't be able to find the point? If you want to be hidden, is it not good to make a secret door directly? I have to engage in this kind of pretending gimmick. ”

Irin's secret complaints.

In the dark.

Promenade.

Black doors.

"Is this what Gu Tianqing said is weird?"

"The entire interior of the Governor's Palace is like a complete emptiness, completely defenseless."

"Or ...... Don't need to be guarded? ”

Irin was expressionless, thinking in place for a while, then patting his head and laughing at himself: "Staying at sea for too long, I'm about to shake people stupid, I actually forgot to have this trick." ”

After sailing in the vast sea for nearly a month, Irin habitually substituted his mind as a "captain", almost forgetting that he was still an apostle with a spirit weapon.

The next second.

Bai Xiaoyi was silent and appeared behind Irin.

In the darkness, Bai Xiaoyi's translucent body was almost invisible, blending with the surrounding darkness, leaving only a faint white.

If anyone is timid enough to see this scene, they will definitely faint with fright.

"The host...... Do you still remember Bai Xiaoyi on the side of the puppet village in the Ghost Fog Mountain? ”

Bai Xiaoyi stared at Yi Rin in mid-air with a ghostly gaze.

It seems that Irin's not letting her out for so long to breathe is extremely dissatisfied.

"Xiaobai, go."

Yi Rin ignored Bai Xiaoyi's resentful expression.

If he put on Nie Hong's sleeves to pose this face, Yi Rin might still have some pressure.

Xiaobai?

Forget it.

In the blink of an eye, Yi Rin switched his vision to Bai Xiaoyi's body.

As I have already mentioned, the vision of the "spirit" is different from that of human beings.

In the definition of the tower, the spirit and the apostle are completely different living beings...... If the spirit is also a living being.

Zeng Yun: Remember to look at the world from a different perspective.

The ancients said: If you still can't see the difference, then change your posture.

And when Irin changed his angle and posture to observe, suddenly, the "world" became completely different.

In the previous sentence, a figure of speech called "exaggeration" is not used.

In fact, at this moment, Irin's original worldview speculation about this Caribbean world completely collapsed, and there was not even a bit of scum left.

Without the slightest defense, so suddenly, it was unexpected.

In the promenade.

In the vision of the Spirit.

Countless crimson "lines", densely packed, staggered and vertically and horizontally, completely paved the corridor, and there are not too many gaps left.

With a surprised expression, Irin's head was raised, and he saw that the "lines" were all from the eyes of the nobles in the relief.

The "threads" that shot out of those eyes completely covered the corridor, and no matter what posture Irin used to pass through this corridor, he was bound to pass through those interlaced lines.

"Infrared??" Irin paused in place for nearly ten seconds before slowly spitting out three words.

Bai Xiaoyi: "? ”

As we all know, there is a certain range of wavelengths of light that can be accepted by the human eye, and light beyond this range of wavelengths cannot be perceived by the human naked eye.

The criss-crossing lines in front of you, even if they are not infrared, are not far behind.

Another ten seconds passed.

Irin was speechless, "Something seems wrong with this tech tree?" Is this the technology that can be mastered in this era? ”

At a time when the sea is full of sailing ships powered by wind, the appearance of such a high-tech anti-submarine means in the Governor's Palace is undoubtedly an eye-opener for Irin.

It's no wonder that Irin feels that the worldview has completely collapsed.

The world was not what he had imagined it to be at first.

"In other words, Gu Tianqing roughly guessed the weirdness here?"

"Isn't that something that can be simply described as 'weird'? It's a ghost animal! ”

It took less than thirty seconds for Irin to re-establish a new worldview and accept the setting of the ghost beast in front of him.

Thanks to the fact that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, I came to the Governor's Mansion and slipped around, otherwise if the naval camp suddenly carried a bazooka to shoot at his ship, it would be really unexpected.

As a veteran and reborn professional apostle, no matter how shocking the situation may be, it will not be shocked.

Unless you really can't help it.

Something is wrong with this world.

After Irin accepted this setting, his heart instantly became comfortable, and he no longer bothered with the crooked spiral-shaped technology tree.

"How do you get there?"

[Shadow] only reduces the sense of presence, but under the infrared induction, it is also nowhere to hide, and it is impossible to slip away silently.

After Irin discovers that there is an infrared sensor device in this corridor, he will be more thorough in his perception and probing to see if there are hidden cameras or the like.

From now on, Irin will no longer treat this world as a technologically backward world, but as a world of ghost animals.

"Camera...... No. ”

"In other words, is infrared sensing enough for all infiltrators? Hehe, that's right. ”

Yi Rin saw that there was no gap at all in the staggered infrared net, and he didn't intend to force his way through, so he directly continued to use Bai Xiaoyi's field of vision to let Bai Xiaoyi float in the corridor, floating all the way to the end.

—in front of the black door.

And through Bai Xiaoyi's vision, Yi Rin finally saw the true face of that door.

"Another surprise...... Hehe. ”

This is indeed a door.

It's just an elevator door with a digital combination lock, nothing else special.
