The two navy men looked at each other, straightened their backs, and the soldier on the left said loudly: "Report, Captain James."
The navy on the right added: "That is our captain."
James, Navy Captain Zhang Yuanqing silently wrote down the name James, squinted his eyes, and looked at the two sailors: "Are you afraid?"
As an illusionist, you can clearly see the emotions of those around you.
Hearing this, the two navy's expressions became more tense and they shook their heads together.
In the army, it is normal for subordinates to be afraid of their superiors. Zhang Yuanqing did not dwell on the matter and asked about the situation on the cruise ship in a pleasant manner.
After a conversation, Zhang Yuanqing initially understood the situation on the cruise ship.
Captain and captain James is the highest-ranking person on the cruise ship. In addition, there is also the status of a cardinal. The Holy See is equal to James.
The United Bishops of Ireland have a lofty status and are an official organization in this age of steam and guns.
Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand and asked the two marines to continue patrolling, while he walked along the deck towards the captain's office.
Along the way, he saw no tourists. It was obviously a cruise ship, but there were only navy, sailors and support staff on the deck and cabins.
Zhang Yuanqing noticed a detail. Both the navy and the logistics personnel seemed to be afraid of helping the sailors.
"It would be too ostentatious to send out a warship to perform a secret mission. The Cardinal of the Holy See is also on board. The secret mission should be related to the Spiritual Realm Walker."
Gee, I have a vest in the dungeon, but there is no memory infusion, and I am not even given basic information. Are you asking me to explore on my own? "
"There is no intelligence. All information needs to be explored by yourself, including the identity, skills, occupations, etc. of the NPCs on the cruise ship."
Considering that it is an S-level dungeon, this level of difficulty is reasonable.
"For now, the cruise ship is safe. The danger should not break out so quickly. If you figure out what the mission is, you can probably understand the crisis. The goal is very clear."
"According to the introduction in the spiritual realm, the cruise ship disappeared on its way back. If the cruise ship returns, it means the mission has been completed." He thought as he walked.
He came to the bow of the ship, entered the cabin, went up the stairs, and reached the captain's cabin on the second floor.
The captain's cabin is on the second floor and you can directly look out to the sea.
"Boom!"
Zhang Yuanqing knocked on the door of the captain's cabin.
"Come in." A calm male voice came from the captain's cabin.
Zhang Yuanqing pushed open the one-meter-wide iron door, and what he saw was a classical European-style office. From the furniture to the lamps, as well as the porcelain cups and plates on the table, they were all retro and in line with the style of more than a hundred years ago.
It made him feel like he was in a movie.
Behind the brown desk, there sat a burly middle-aged man, wearing a long black coat with gold double-row buttons, a white shirt and a black tie.
Captain James has a face like a Greek sculpture, his beard is trimmed beautifully and neatly, and his blue eyes are as deep as the ocean. When he saw Zhang Yuanqing coming in, the deep "sea" caused a wave, and then quickly calmed down.
"Lieutenant Haas, what's the matter?" Captain James nodded.
Zhang Yuanqing entered the captain's room, straightened his back like the two sailors, and said loudly: "Captain, when can we reach the port? I miss the apple pie made by grandma."
Captain James looked serious and said with a serious smile, "Fifteen days at sea. Also, if I remember correctly, I think what you miss is not the apple pie, but the pie bar in the Pink Bar. Your grandmother has been dead for many years."
There were still fifteen days left. Zhang Yuanqing originally wanted to make a joke: Oh my God, Captain, you guessed it all. Yes, that little bitch is so tight and moist.
But looking at James's serious expression, as if he was about to go to the execution ground, he rationally chose not to joke.
As for the fact that his grandmother has been dead for many years, it is probably the character of Lieutenant Erhass. Zhang Yuanqing is not afraid of "revealing the secret". Except for some special dungeons that need to hide their identity, there is no need to worry about the collapse of the character of the other dungeons in the spiritual realm.
The NPCs in the spiritual realm will make up their minds and accept the spiritual realm walkers on their own.
"Captain, I want to discuss the mission with you." Zhang Yuanqing got to the point.
"Mission?" The captain took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer, opened it and handed one over.
Cigarettes of this era did not have filters.
"Captain, I don't smoke." Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand and refused.
The captain looked at him strangely: "Aside from women, your favorite things are tobacco and wine."
Smoking, drinking and playing with women? What kind of character is this? Zhang Yuanqing took the cigarette and lit it in the match that the captain struck.
Captain James exhaled a puff of white smoke: "What do you want to discuss?"
Zhang Yuanqing said: "I want to hear your views on this mission."
James frowned when he heard this, took a long puff of cigarette, and said: "I don't know what you are thinking, but. Please don't worry, the matter has passed, and there has been no abnormality in the past few days, right! There is a man in red from the Holy See. , the bishops and priests are here, there will be no problem.”
Is it over? What happened on the cruise? Zhang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly and instinctively told him that this was probably the reason why the cruise ship disappeared.
Just as he was about to test further, James spoke first: "Lieutenant Haas, please go out first, I have to go to work."
Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Captain, I want to see the mission file."
James said nothing, and looked at him with majesty in his dark blue eyes.
Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for a few seconds between force coercion, hypnosis, emotional guidance and other methods, and finally chose to obey the captain's order.
"It's the captain!"
This is an S-level dungeon, so caution is necessary, and if it is exposed, it will be troublesome.
Luxurious first class bedroom.
The dormitories for ordinary tourists are below the deck. Zhang Yuanqing walked down the steps and passed the dormitories on the first and second floors. He was stopped at the entrance to the third floor.
Those who stopped him were two Holy See knights wearing silver armor, holding cross swords, with cold facial lines and sharp eyes.
"The bishop has ordered that no one is allowed to approach the third floor below the deck." The middle-aged knight with blond hair and a scar on his left cheek said coldly.
The other knight did not speak, but his right palm holding the hilt of the sword was slightly stronger, and he stared at Lieutenant Haas with sharp eyes.
If it was an A-level dungeon, he would attack directly. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the two knights and sensed their murderous intent and hostility. He was not reckless and took a step back. He said: "I hate the tone of your words. Be careful when I invite you two to eat." torpedo."
After he turned around and left, the two knights breathed a sigh of relief.
Returning to the deck, Zhang Yuanqing deliberately chatted with the sailors and navy to inquire about the details of the mission. To his disappointment, no one knew what the mission was.
When Zhang Yuanqing asked what happened on the cruise ship, the faces of the navy and sailors changed drastically, and they shook their heads, saying that they knew nothing.
But Zhang Yuanqing sensed emotions of fear, fear, and panic from them.
Something weird! Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while, and planned to stop all activities first, and then sneak into the captain's room to check the information at night.
At dusk, the sun sinks into the horizon.
Zhang Yuanqing entered the cabin and had dinner in the cafeteria. The dinner was beer, bread, vegetable soup and canned beef, as well as a yellow croaker per person.
After drinking and eating, he returned to his dormitory. As an officer, Haas has his own independent dormitory, a small room of 20 square meters with simple furnishings.
Zhang Yuanqing lay on the bed, feeling the slight bumps and waiting patiently.
After inquiring during the day, he learned that the cruise ship was called "Petrel" and it was a medium-sized cruise ship with a passenger capacity of more than 1,000 and less than 2,000 people.
There were no tourists on board, only two hundred sailors, and more than a hundred sailors and staff in total.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yuanqing, who was lying on the bed, turned into starlight and dissipated. The next second, bright starlight rose in the captain's cabin forty meters away.
The captain's cabin was dark and silent, with flashlights flashing outside the window from time to time, as patrolling marines were walking around.
The darkness could not affect Ye Youshen's vision. Zhang Yuanqing walked to the file rack behind the desk and quietly rummaged through the file folders.
Zhang Yuanqing gestured for a moment and fixed his gaze on a folder: "1899 Comet Falls into the Sea" Last year's incident was related to the ocean, so this should be it. Zhang Yuanqing opened the folder and read the information on it.
——In 1899, a comet crashed into the sea in the southern waters of Ireland. Since then, fishing boats often caught deformed and ugly sea creatures in that sea area. Those sea creatures have extremely powerful attacks. Sex, flesh and blood contain toxins and cannot be eaten.
Those monsters did not belong to any known species, and the cells contained some kind of unstable DNA that mutated all the time. The Irish United Nations biologist's outlook collapsed, claiming that the eruption of a submarine volcano awakened ancient species.
The United Nations Government of Ireland blocked that area of the sea and prohibited fishing boats from approaching. However, the incident did not calm down. The mutations in the species became more and more exaggerated and gradually radiated to the entire southern sea. A cargo ship was attacked by a giant octopus on the route and the ship sank. , no one survived.
A fishing boat encountered the legendary mermaid. The entire crew of the boat was attracted by the song and jumped into the sea, becoming the delicacies of the mermaid. The empty boat floated for several days before being found by the search and rescue team.
The Holy See, as an official organization, teamed up with the navy to eradicate the mutated marine life. Under the organization of the government, the Holy See dispatched a special team of spirit walkers, and the navy dispatched a special fishing team to explore the sea area where the comet first fell.
"The extraterrestrial comet caused the mutation of the earth's species? It is also possible that the so-called extraterrestrial comet is the master of the Breaking Bad profession and accidentally dropped a certain prop?"
"It shouldn't be. If it was a prop, it would have been taken back long ago. Did you do it on purpose? It doesn't seem like it. It is meaningless. It accidentally injured so many civilians and lost a lot of merit points."
"Moreover, just because of this, it doesn't mean that the spiritual realm will create a special copy. There must be a deeper inside story behind this matter."
"Now that we've read the background of the story, let's check out the subsequent development."
After knowing the background of the story, Zhang Yuanqing felt much more at ease, and the feeling of confusion when entering the dungeon for the first time was much reduced.
He closed the file folder and returned it to its original place. He glanced around and landed on the desk drawer, where a copper lock hung.
At this time, the light of the flashlight came through the crack in the door, and the sound of footsteps approached. With a click, the door to the captain's cabin opened.
