spirit walker

Chapter 706 Story Background
The two sailors looked at each other, straightened their backs, and the soldier on the left said loudly:
"The report is Captain James."

The navy on the right added: "Also our captain."

James, Navy captain Zhang Yuanqing silently wrote down the name of James, squinted his eyes, and looked at the two navies:

"Are you afraid of me?"

As an illusionist, you can see the emotions of those around you at a glance.

Hearing this, the expressions of the two navy officers became more and more tense, and they shook their heads in unison.

In the army, it is normal for subordinates to be afraid of officers. Zhang Yuanqing did not dwell on this matter, and asked about the situation on the cruise ship with a pleasant face.

After some conversations, Zhang Yuanqing initially found out the situation on the cruise ship.

Captain and captain James is the highest-ranking person on the cruise ship. In addition, there is a cardinal who can be equal to James.

In the United Nations of Ireland, the Holy See is the state religion, has a high status, and is the official organization in this age of steam and guns.

Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand to let the two marines continue to patrol, while he walked along the deck towards the captain's office.

Along the way, he didn't see any tourists. It was obviously a cruise ship, but there were only navy, sailors and logistics personnel on the deck and cabin.

Zhang Yuanqing noticed a detail, whether it was sailors, navy or logistics personnel, they seemed to be afraid of him.

"It's too ostentatious to send out a warship to carry out a secret mission. The cardinal of the Holy See is also on board, so the secret mission carried out should be related to the spirit walker."

"Tsk, I have a vest in the dungeon, but I don't have memory instillation, and I don't even give basic information. Do you let me explore by myself?"

Without any intelligence, all information needs to be explored by oneself, including the identity, skills, occupation, etc. of the npc on the cruise ship.

Considering that it is an S-level dungeon, the difficulty is reasonable.

"At present, the cruise ship is still safe. The danger should not erupt 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 of the spirit world, the cruise ship disappeared on the way back. If the cruise ship returns, it means that the mission has been completed."

While walking, thinking, he came to the bow, entered the cabin, went up the stairs, and arrived at the captain's cabin on the second floor.

The captain's cabin is on the second floor and can directly overlook the sea.

"Dong dong!"

Zhang Yuanqing knocked on the door of the captain's cabin.

"Come in." A steady male voice came from the captain's cabin.

Zhang Yuanqing pushed open the one-meter-wide iron door, and he saw a European-style classical office. From the furniture to the lamps, as well as the porcelain cups and saucers on the table, they were all retro, in line with the style of more than 100 years ago.

It made him feel like he was in a movie.

Behind the brown desk, sat a burly middle-aged man, wearing a long black coat with golden double-breasted buttons, a white shirt and a black tie inside.

Captain James had a face like a Greek sculpture, his beard was neatly trimmed, and his blue eyes were as deep as the ocean. When he saw Zhang Yuanqing coming in, the deep "sea" stirred up waves and quickly calmed down again.

"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 my grandma."

Captain James has a serious expression, serious and unsmiling:
"We still have to sail on the ship for fifteen days. Besides, if I remember correctly, your grandmother, Haas, has been dead for many years. I think what you miss is not the apple pie, but the concubine at the Pink Bar."

Fifteen days left. Zhang Yuanqing originally wanted to joke: Oh my God, you guessed it all, captain, yes yes, that little bitch is tight and moist.

But looking at James' serious expression, as if he was about to go to the battlefield, he rationally chose not to joke.

As for the fact that the grandmother has been dead for many years, it seems to be Lieutenant Haas's character design. Zhang Yuanqing is not afraid of "revealing the truth". Except for some special copies that need to hide their identity, the rest of the spiritual realm copies do not need to worry about the collapse of the character design.

The NPCs in the spirit realm will make up their own minds and accept the spirit realm walkers.

"Captain, I want to discuss the mission with you." Zhang Yuanqing got to the point.

"Mission?" The captain took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, opened it, and handed one over.

Cigarettes in this era do not have filters.

"Captain, I don't smoke." Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand and refused.

The captain gave him a strange look: "Apart from women, what you love the most are cigarettes and alcohol."

Smoking, drinking and playing with women?Who am I? Zhang Yuanqing took the cigarette and lit it in the captain's lit match.

Captain James exhaled a puff of white smoke: "What do you want to discuss?"

I don't know either. Zhang Yuanqing said: "I want to hear your opinion on this mission."

James heard this, frowned, took a deep breath, and said:

"I know what you think, but please don't worry, the matter has passed, and there have been no abnormalities in the past few days, right! With the cardinals and priests of the Holy See, there will be no problem."

Things are 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 about to test further, James spoke first: "Lieutenant Haas, you go out first, I have to work."

Zhang Yuanqing cleared his throat, "Captain, I want to see the mission files."

James didn't speak, his dark blue eyes looked at him majesticly.

Zhang Yuanqing hesitated for a few seconds between forced force, hypnosis, emotional guidance and other means, and finally chose to obey the captain's order:
"Yes, Captain!"

This is an S-rank dungeon, caution is necessary.

Exiting the captain's room, Zhang Yuanqing continued to wander around the cruise ship. The 50-meter-long cruise ship was quickly visited. The first and second floors were restaurants, bars, dance halls, chess and card rooms, cigar rooms and other social and entertainment places.

Then there is the luxury bedroom of the first class cabin.

Quarters for common visitors are below deck.Zhang Yuanqing went down the steps, passed the dormitory area on the first and second floors, and was stopped at the entrance to the third floor.

Those who stopped him were two Holy See knights in silver armor, leaning on a crossed long sword, their faces were cold and sharp, and their eyes were sharp.

"The bishop 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 didn't speak, but his right palm holding the hilt of the sword slightly exerted force, staring at Lieutenant Haas sharply.

If it was an A-level dungeon, I would do it directly. Zhang Yuanqing looked at the two knights, sensed their murderous intent and hostility, without being reckless, took a step back, and said:
"I hate the tone of your words, be careful I invite you two to eat torpedoes."

He turned his head and left. Behind him, the two knights breathed a sigh of relief.

Back on the deck, Zhang Yuanqing purposely chatted with the sailors and the navy, and asked them 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 all shook their heads, expressing that they knew nothing.

But Zhang Yuanqing sensed fear, fear, and panic from them.

It's weird! Zhang Yuanqing thought about it, and planned to put his flag down first, and 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 canteen. The dinner consisted of beer, bread, vegetable soup, canned beef, and one yellow croaker per person.

After drinking and eating, he returned to his dormitory.

As an officer, Lieutenant Haas had his own independent dormitory, a small room of [-] square meters, with simple furnishings, a single bed, a small desk, no wardrobe, but a storage box for clothes under the bed.

Zhang Yuanqing lay on the bed, feeling the slight bumps, waiting patiently.

After inquiring during the day, he knew that the cruise ship was called "Haiyan", which was a medium-sized cruise ship with a passenger capacity of more than 1000 and less than 2000.

There were no tourists on board, only 100 sailors and more than [-] sailors and staff.

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 40 meters away.

The captain's cabin was dark and silent, and the flashlight flashed outside the window from time to time, which was the patrolling navy walking around.

The darkness couldn't affect Ye Youshen's sight, Zhang Yuanqing walked to the file rack behind the desk, rummaged through it silently, and quickly scanned file after file.

Zhang Yuanqing made a gesture, and his eyes fixed on a folder:
"1899 A Comet Falls into the Sea"

The incident last year was related to the ocean, so it 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 sea area of ​​the United Nations of Ireland. Since then, fishing boats that went out to sea have often salvaged deformed and ugly sea creatures in that sea area. Those sea creatures have extremely strong attacks Sex, flesh and blood contain toxins and cannot be eaten.

Those monsters do not belong to any known species, and the cells contain some kind of unstable and constantly mutating dna. Biologists from the Irish United Nations collapsed, claiming that a submarine volcanic eruption awakened species from ancient times.

The United Nations government of Ireland blocked the sea area and prohibited fishing boats from approaching, but the incident did not stop there. The mutation of species became more and more exaggerated, and gradually radiated to the entire southern sea area. Some cargo ships were attacked by giant octopuses on the route, and the ships sank. None survived.A fishing boat encountered a legendary mermaid. The crew of the whole boat was attracted by the singing, jumped into the sea, and became delicious in the belly of the mermaid. The empty boat drifted for several days before being found by the search and rescue team.

As the official organization of the Holy See, the joint navy wiped out the mutated marine life. Under the organization of the government, the Holy See sent a special team of spirit walkers, and the navy dispatched a professional fishing team to investigate 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 item?"

"Probably not. If it was a prop, it would have been taken back a long time ago. Did it on purpose? It doesn't look like it. It's meaningless to do so. It hurt so many civilians by mistake, and lost a lot of merit points for nothing."

"Besides, if this is the case alone, it is not enough to make a copy of Lingjing. Behind this incident, there must be a deeper story hidden."

"After reading the background of the story, let's check the follow-up development"

After knowing the background of the story, Zhang Yuanqing felt much more at ease, and the feeling of confusion when he first entered the dungeon was much reduced.

He closed the folder, returned it to its original place, glanced at it, and landed on the desk drawer, where a brass lock hung.

At this time, the light of the flashlight came in through the crack of the door, and the sound of footsteps approached.

"Crack!"

The door to the captain's cabin opened.
