The Nagelfar is about twenty meters long and has a huge Gorgon statue on its bow. Its flagpole is rotten and its sails are as tattered as a homeless man's underwear. It makes people doubt whether the ship will be in the next second.
Will the ship sink into the sea?
What is particularly worth mentioning is that the entire Nagelfar ship was shrouded in a layer of fog. Only the outer outline could be seen, but nothing on the ship could be seen.
Most people would not dare to board such a boat, but Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are considered awakened people who are used to seeing wind and waves, so naturally they will not be afraid.
Taking advantage of the high tide, the Nagelfar docked and a layer of treads was laid in the mist.
The waves gently caressed the earth, and apart from the sound of wind and waves, there was no sound of human beings.
This scene is a bit heart-wrenching.
Bai Xiaowen held Li Shuyi's hand and stepped onto the pedal calmly.
The two passed through a layer of fog and arrived on the boat.
"This boat is as shabby as I imagined." Li Shuyi whispered. Indeed, even the ship's planks were dark and damp, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time.
Bai Xiaowen frowned and looked at the sailors coming and going on the boat.
The sailors come from different races, mainly humans and snake people. According to the history of the Kuroshio plane that Bai Xiaowen has reviewed, humans and snake people are in an antagonistic relationship. Unexpectedly, they actually live in harmony on this ship and become crew members.
Moreover, the appearance of these sailors is also a bit strange. Many of them have a dead white skin with slightly swollen and wrinkled feeling, as if they have been soaked in water for a long time. There are also hanging sticks on their shoulders and ears.
Some shells, seaweed and the like.
Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes, thinking of a pirate movie he had seen in another time and space. There was a ghost ship in it, and the appearance of the ship and its crew was exactly the same.
A sailor in human form happened to be passing by, and Bai Xiaowen gently tapped his shoulder: "Hey man, where is this ship heading?"
The human sailor turned his head.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were both surprised.
The sailor's pupils were empty and scattered, not like the eyes of a living person at all! He was patted on the shoulder by Bai Xiaowen and turned around. It was just an instinctive reaction. When he opened his mouth, seawater mixed with saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
.
After turning his head instinctively, the sailor turned his head back somewhat mechanically and continued working.
"Dead body?" Li Shuyi's ponytail almost stood up.
"The ferry that travels between the realms of Yin and Yang..." Bai Xiaowen looked at the words on the invitation to the Abyss Party and said thoughtfully, "It's not surprising that there are such sailors... We can first take a look at what clues there are on this ship.
"
After Bai Xiaowen finished speaking, he walked towards the Gorgon statue on the bow of the ship. He had long discovered that in front of the Gorgon statue, there was a row of rectangular boxes standing upright, like standing coffins. Moreover, there were two tall
The dead body of a sailor, standing in front of the box, seems to be a guard.
However, when Bai Xiaowen stepped onto the gangway at the bow of the ship, he was stopped. A dead sailor stopped in front of the two of them expressionlessly.
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"Warning: The Nagelfar has set sail. Any guests who do not abide by the rules of the game will be thrown into the sea and will be disqualified from participating in the abyss party."
"It seems that the rules of the spirit world do not allow us to pry into the secrets of this ship," Bai Xiaowen said, "I used my insight talent to take a look at these dead sailors. Their attributes are very weak, and they are just equivalent to high-level ordinary template monsters.
I suspect that there must be a secret in the vertical coffin in front of the bow."
Li Shuyi said: "Since the rules of the spirit world have issued a warning, then just be patient for the time being. Wait until the main mission is triggered."
After Bai Xiaowen used the invitation letter, he did not trigger the second main mission immediately. Instead, he gave the secret code to take a boat at Ye Xiao Pier. According to Bai Xiaowen's speculation, the second main mission should not be triggered until he reached the target area.
In other words, they are still within the free exploration time brought by the first main mission, and both of them are safe until they accept the second main mission.
The Nagelfar was like a ghost, sailing silently on the black sea.
After driving for about an hour, the fog in front dispersed, and the field of vision suddenly became empty. Under the dawn light, the ocean was quiet and vast, with the water and sky the same color.
"Look!" Li Shuyi suddenly exclaimed, "What is that?"
On the sea surface ahead, the water flow suddenly became turbulent, forming a huge whirlpool with a diameter of several thousand meters! And the Nagelfar sailed straight towards the large whirlpool.
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"You have arrived at the target sea area: Shimmering Abyss."
"[Main Mission: The Secret of the Latent Shadow Labyrinth] is opened."
"[Mission goal: Open the central chamber of the latent shadow maze and obtain the prophecy tablet.]"
"[Task Difficulty: Data is in chaos and cannot be calculated]"
"[Mission deadline: Data is in chaos and cannot be calculated]"
"[Task reward: Data is in chaos and cannot be calculated]"
Before Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi could recover, another prompt message suddenly appeared:
"[Main Mission: The Extraordinary Game] starts."
"[Mission goal: Join the guardian sect/blasphemer camp and win the extraordinary game.]"
"[Task Difficulty: s]"
"[Task period: 0 days]"
"[Task reward: Number of times the wishing pool has been used*.]"
"How come two main quests appear at the same time?" Li Shuyi said in surprise, "Moreover... both main quests are very weird. Which one should I choose?"
"There should be no conflict between these two main quests. There is no choice between the two!" Bai Xiaowen frowned and said, "In comparison, I think the latter main quest is a bit weirder. What is the 'wishing pool usage number'? What do you think?
All"
Suddenly, the Gorgon statue on the bow of the ship emitted a strange purple light.
For a moment, Bai Xiaowen felt as if his soul had left his body, as if a strong attraction was pulling his consciousness out of his body.
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"You have been affected by the gaze of the abyss, your will judgment has failed, and your soul consciousness is being stripped away..."
At the same time, Bai Xiaowen's left eye felt a sharp sting, and the red light in his eye suddenly became hot, like a magic pupil burning with flames!
"Unknown factors are interfering, and the data is in chaos..."
"Unknown factors interfere, and 00,000 psychic points will be deducted. You can escape the influence of the abyss gaze and leave the world of the Black Tide Plane. Yes/No?"
Bai Xiaowen gritted his teeth, looked at Li Shuyi aside, and used Insight.
Li Shuyi stood on the bow of the boat like a wooden stake. Her appearance was still beautiful, but her eyes had lost their sparkle, like a white jade statue.
Behind Li Shuyi's name, a state of soul-body separation suddenly appeared.
[Separation of soul and body: The target is in a state of suspended animation, which will last for seven natural days. After the state of suspended animation ends, if the soul consciousness does not return to the body, it will die directly. 】
"Hold……"
Bai Xiaowen's facial muscles twitched. He forced himself to calm down and focused his attention on the two main mission options again, thinking about this situation and the strangeness of the two main missions.
Ten-thousandth of a second later, Bai Xiaowen's consciousness focused on the last spiritual world rule prompt message "Deduct 00,000 spiritual points and leave the Kuroshio plane world" option, and directly chose No!
He took a deep breath, raised his slightly trembling left hand, and covered his left eye.
His right eye was fixed on the statue of a Gorgon ship emitting a strange red light, and the terrible feeling of being stripped of his soul emerged again.
Bai Xiaowen uttered the last two words in his mouth, and his low voice seemed to be whispering:
"bring it on……"
Bai Xiaowen's soul was ripped out instantly. At the last moment, he "saw" two dead sailors opening the upright coffin lid and stuffing his and Li Shuyi's bodies into the coffin.
The field of vision quickly zoomed out, and the Nagelfar suddenly plunged into the depths of the maelstrom.
…
When Bai Xiaowen woke up again, the first thing he found was that he was in a magnificent hall.
What I saw when I looked up was the magnificent dome, with a chain hanging down and candlelight swaying gently above my head.
In the center of the hall is a giant round table. Together with Bai Xiaowen, a total of twelve people wearing black cloaks sit around the round table. Directly behind each person, there is an upright coffin with animals engraved on it.
The reliefs include chickens, dogs, monkeys and pigs, to name a few.
In the center of the giant round table is a clear pool. There are pieces of colorful stones in the pool. The weak light reflected through the pool water forms a looming rainbow.
Bai Xiaowen immediately checked his status. He tried to open the properties panel, but got a prompt:
"You are in a state of soul separation and cannot open the properties panel."
Bai Xiaowen was not discouraged. He looked through the latest reminder messages about the rules of the spirit world.
"You have been affected by the gaze of the abyss, and your soul and body are separated. In the state of soul and body separation, you cannot attack, use skills or props. Please return to your body within seven natural days, otherwise you will die directly."
"You have entered the Shimmering Abyss: The Latent Shadow Labyrinth."
"You automatically accepted the main mission: The Extraordinary Game."
Bai Xiaowen quickly checked the mission information and found that of the two main missions that were triggered, only one was automatically accepted, while the other mission "Secret of the Latent Shadow Maze" has been in an unaccepted state. The yes/no selection box is flashing and the displayed time is still there.
It will disappear in a few minutes.
Bai Xiaowen's conscious choice to accept the main mission "The Secret of the Latent Shadow Maze".
After completing this step, Bai Xiaowen raised his head and glanced at the other eleven people sitting at the round table in the hall, who were exactly like him in black robes and cloaks.
When he saw a man in a black robe and cloak opposite him, Bai Xiaowen's heart suddenly palpitated. He could clearly feel that it was Li Shuyi. In other words, it was Li Shuyi's soul.
Behind Li Shuyi, the coffin is embossed with a rat pattern and a Roman numeral "".
Bai Xiaowen looked back and saw that the relief on the coffin behind him was the image of a sheep, with the Roman numeral "8".
Suddenly, a white light rose from the center of the round table. Along with this light, a loud voice echoed in the hall:
"The awakening should be successful. Welcome to the abyss party and participate in the extraordinary game."
"Whoever wins the game, everyone will get a chance to use the wishing fountain."
"Most of you have passed multiple rounds of elimination before sitting here for the final battle. You should all know the rules of the transcendent game."
"Of course, for the sake of fairness, I will transmit the specific rules of the extraordinary game to your consciousness."
A stream of information poured into Bai Xiaowen's mind. Bai Xiaowen's face, covered by his cloak, quickly became more exciting.
This extraordinary game is called "Resurrection of the Dragon".
First, the background of this game.
A long time ago, under the protection of the guardian dragon, the world was peaceful. People worshiped the guardian dragon and established a "guardian sect".
Later, the guardian dragon fell and the devil invaded. The devil, who could transform into human form and was good at sowing discord, quickly plunged the continent into war.
The believers and priests of the guardian sect, holding the dragon's relics, went through hardships to the latent shadow maze, preparing to perform sacred rituals to resurrect the guardian dragon. If the dragon is resurrected, the devil will face annihilation.
However, the secret operations of the guardian sect were noticed by the devil and mixed into this team. If the resurrection ceremony is interfered by the devil, not only will the ceremony fail, but the devil will desecrate the remains of the guardian dragon and absorb the power of the guardian dragon, and the mainland will be destroyed again.
There is no hope.
Therefore, the Guardian Sect must first find and eliminate all blasphemers, that is, devils, before they can perform sacred rituals. Translated in game terms, the victory condition of the "Guardian Faction" is to eliminate all "blasphemers".
However, the ritual of resurrecting the dragon requires the guidance of at least one priest and the pure power of faith provided by an ordinary believer. If all the priests die, or all the ordinary believers die, the ritual of resurrecting the dragon will be declared impossible, and the devil
In other words, the victory condition of the "Desecrated Camp" is to destroy all priests or all ordinary believers.
The game is divided into "night" and "day".
Dark night is the home ground of the blasphemy camp. Every night, the blasphemers can gather together to discuss and kill a team member (including the blasphemer committing suicide is also allowed).
Daytime is the home ground of the guardian camp. Every day, everyone in the team gathers together, takes turns to speak and discuss, and votes to identify a suspicious member and eliminate him.
It should be noted that the good people in the guarding camp only know their own identities and do not know each other. This also gives the devil room to fish in troubled waters, even sow discord, and frame false accusations. Those who were eliminated by voting during the day may be
