Lulu rescued them all night, and both "Little Titan" Thor and [God Assassin] Arno survived.
However, there were some minor surprises.
"What, you said that Arno is a female assassin?"
What surprised everyone was that under the hood of the "world's best assassin", which had never been lifted, there was actually a face that was cold but stunningly beautiful.
Raymond was also surprised when he heard the news.
Because no one has seen her true face, even in the later stages of the game, players have always assumed that Arno is a male assassin, but absolutely no one thought that she was actually a woman!
"Yes, Captain."
Lulu on the side nodded, glanced at him slightly doubtfully, and said quietly: "I thought you knew."
In the eyes of everyone in the "Ghost Group", Captain Raymond is the kind of "prophet" who should know everything.
After a pause, the big-headed son continued: "Her injuries are very serious. Although I have dealt with the trauma on her body and the cracks on her organs, I still can't stop her life from passing away. There is a very powerful 'curse'
'It's eroding her life and causing her organs to fail rapidly... I predicted that if it continues to fail at this rate, she can live for a month at most."
"Is she going to die?"
Raymond frowned slightly as he listened.
Although he was greatly surprised that this [God Assassin] Arno was a woman, he didn't want the "soul slave" he had finally "captured" to die like this.
He thought for a while and said, "Let's go, take me to see it."
...
In Lulu's medical laboratory, Raymond walked in alone.
On the dissecting table, a woman wearing black assassin leather armor was being tied up with large straps. At this moment, the hood she was wearing had been removed, revealing a delicate and flawless face. Her skin was dark blue and smooth.
And the delicate, pointed erect ears, the delicate Yao nose...all the signs indicate that this is a mixed-race dark elf.
In the game "Voyage", the dark elves are an evil race and the race that is best at killing. Legend has it that their ancestors are a fallen bloodline that was exiled by the ancient high elves. They are greedy and ruthless predators.
There is a background introduction to this race in the game. After the dark elves were exiled, they found the "Well of Darkness", one of the "Three Divine Springs", and gave up their belief in the goddess of nature, gaining the power of the night.
Gradually, his complexion became dark blue. The dark blood talent he obtained from the "Well of Darkness" allowed them to easily master various stealth assassination techniques.
This race is also a natural-born "assassin" race.
"It's actually a dark elf... No wonder her stealth ability is so outstanding. It turns out to be a bloodline talent."
Raymond looked at Arno, who was still in a coma, with a slightly solemn expression.
Because she has become her "soul slave", a lot of detailed data is now displayed on the system page.
The reason why Raymond dared to keep her alive and face her alone was because of the "loyalty" attribute displayed on this panel!
Detailed explanation: This is the attribute panel of a peak assassin; she is a half-elf with strong dark elf blood;
"Tsk tsk... almost a full set of epics. The legendary NPCs in the game are indeed well-deserved."
Raymond looked at the digitized equipment with a glint in his eyes.
A complete set of top assassin extraordinary equipment. Even in the game, top players had never had such luxurious equipment.
In the game, if you can defeat a legendary BOSS of this level and randomly reveal one or two pieces of equipment, professional thief players will be able to take off.
However, even before he traveled through time, the elusive [God-Assassin] Arno was never pushed away by anyone.
She is a real killing machine. This top-level assassin is a nightmare for any transcendent. Killing a child is an outcome that countless death-seeking players in the game have tried with their lives.
Arno's "only epic" equipment was the one that a young power leveler like Raymond once dreamed of breaking out in the game.
But now, they are all quietly placed in front of us, within easy reach.
"Huh... if you can't use it for me, it won't be a loss if you kill it and pull out the equipment."
Raymond couldn't help but swallowed his saliva when he looked at her luxurious assassin equipment.
He was not sure whether the "soul enslavement" was really fully effective, so he went into the laboratory alone. If the top assassin woke up and showed hostility, he would be able to destroy him all by himself.
"Huh... I hope the skill manual didn't trick me."
Even if this large steel iron lock tightly trapped Arnold, it could not give Raymond any sense of security. For a top assassin, with this kind of physical lock, escape can only take an instant.
He prayed in his heart and slowly pushed the "awakening potion" into her neck.
After a while, the "number one assassin in the world" slowly opened his eyes.
These were a pair of dark, clear eyes, shining as brightly as black gemstones, and as deep as the starry sky on a summer night. Coupled with her flawless pretty face, this was really stunning.
"Um?"
Arno woke up with doubts in his eyes.
She looked at herself firmly trapped on the dissecting table and looked a little surprised. But when she looked at the expressionless Raymond again, her expression suddenly calmed down.
"No hostile prompts!"
Raymond looked at the system calmly and confirmed that there was no hostility. He didn't see any murderous intent on those beautiful faces. Instead, he had a kind of meekness that said, "I'll let you ravage me."
"Master...Master...what am I?"
Arno seemed to have a hard time saying the title "Master", but she couldn't find a more suitable title in her mind.
"You were seriously injured and I'm helping you heal."
Raymond opened his eyes without blushing and started talking nonsense.
In this situation, anyone would definitely be suspicious.
Does treatment require "tying up"?
Or is it a dragon tendon rope or an iron lock?
Do you think I'm stupid?!
But Arno seemed to really believe Raymond's lies and nodded, with a meek expression on his face.
"You can also call me 'Captain'..."
Raymond always felt that the word "master" was a bit embarrassing, especially when she shouted it in a soft and soft voice, which always made people unconsciously think of the housemaid series of some island country action movies.
Not to mention, this woman's original voice is quite pleasant.
"You are still very weak now, don't use your true energy rashly."
At this time, after Raymond confirmed that there were no fluctuations in the "loyalty" and "hostility reminder" data, he gradually untied the binding devices tied to Arno one by one.
"Thank you Lord... Captain for saving me."
Arno seemed to have completely forgotten her identity as the terrifying god of murder. Instead, she really looked like a loyal personal maid, with a delicate expression, gentle eyes, and a calm tone...
Could it be that she has lost her memory?
Raymond rolled his eyes, guessing in his mind.
Looking at her obedient look, she doesn't look like the ruthless [God-Assassin].
Thinking of this, he asked: "You were seriously injured and your memory may be damaged... Let me ask you, do you remember who you are? Do you still remember your identity?"
Noah said without hesitation: "My name is 'Arno Dorian', and I am the captain's most loyal servant. I am also the captain of the World Headquarters CP9, codenamed 'NO.2'..."
No amnesia?
Raymond's face changed slightly when he heard this. Since she remembered everything, why didn't she have any hostility towards him now?
She is a top assassin, but she becomes a maid who is a Sequence 5 rookie, but she has no psychological resistance at all, and does not notice the slightest bit of unreasonableness?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the descriptions of those "devout believers" under the evil god's seat recorded in Hayings's notes, and thought to himself: "This [Soul Slavery] skill is really a terrifying ability. It's really like Hayings.
According to the notes, it can distort people's 'cognition' from the soul! What I say now is 'truth' to Arno, and she can never question the truth."
He pondered for a moment, in order to confirm whether Arnold really remembered everything.
Raymond asked again: "Do you remember why you came to this ship?"
Arno said truthfully: "I was injured and cursed when I assassinated the leader of the Giant Tribe [Black Mountain] Lute... Then I learned from CP9's intelligence network that there was a senior doctor'lu
Lu·Y·Friznile' is in the nearby sea area, so I came here to treat the injury."
Hearing this, Raymond was not much surprised.
This CP9 captain is definitely not here for their "Ghost Pirates".
But what surprised him was how did the CP9 intelligence network know that the "Golden Ghost" was hiding in this sea area?
Thinking about this, he asked again: "How did CP9's intelligence system know the exact location of our 'Ghost Pirates'?"
Arno said calmly: "Because there is an A-level target of concern on the master's ship, 'Nonogen Mirnavi Nicole', who was once a very important person in the 'lost ancient weapons incident' in Hex City." Character. 'NO.9' followed her to investigate for a long time. Before choosing to evacuate, he left the locator and submitted the report of the 'Ghost Pirates' to the headquarters intelligence system...as long as the authority is sufficient. All CP9 members can call it."
"So that's it!"
When Raymond heard this, his eyes showed surprise, but at the same time he was also shocked. It turned out that their whereabouts were actually controlled by the World Headquarters at any time.
And this question, they actually have five secret positioning devices on the ship!
And not only that, Nicole also has some kind of high-level alchemical mark left on her body!
This thought is really creepy. If the World Government really wakes up one day and wants to capture them, wouldn't it be possible to locate their "ghost group" in a matter of minutes and send people to kill them?
"Master, you don't have to worry too much."
Noah seemed to be getting used to the title of "master".
Although she looks obedient, she is also very smart.
She obviously understood what the worried look on Raymond's brows meant, and explained thoughtfully: "This is an ultra-new positioning device [Sky Eye] developed by the World Government Laboratory. The manufacturing cost of this kind of mark is very high, CP9 It is only used for certain important people. This secret positioning method is not known to outsiders yet, so it is only used to collect information and will not be exposed unless it is absolutely necessary. And it can have the authority to dispatch this S-class 'There are very few people with top-secret information..."
"That's it..."
Raymond made sense after thinking about it.
CP9, a device like "GPS global positioning", had never been exposed until he traveled through time. It must be a top-secret intelligence collection method deliberately hidden by the World Government.
If it were really used to locate and kill pirates, it would be overkill.
And after using it a few times, someone will find something fishy.
At that time, the people of the anti-General Office organization will really be on guard, and no matter how cutting-edge technology is, they will not be able to hide it. This top-secret positioning method that the World Government spent a lot of money to develop will have no meaning anymore.
However, what surprised Raymond even more was that the current captain of CP9, Ya Nuo, seemed to have no psychological burden at all about his betrayal of the organization. He easily told him the top secrets of CP9?
With such an "information library" at the captain level of the CP9 headquarters, wouldn't a lot of top-secret information from the World Headquarters be exposed under his nose?
It has been calculated by the World Government with its super powerful information network. Now, it finally has a breakthrough to penetrate into the enemy!
It is estimated that even the top leaders of the World Headquarters would never have thought that there would be a senior member of the CP9 captain level who was instigated by Raymond using almost the same soul mark method to rebel!
...
In order to confirm whether Arnold really obeyed his words completely, Raymond began to ask about some "sensitive matters" for which he knew the outcome.
This question really convinced him that Noah was "absolutely loyal" to him!
Except for the incident that Arno, the captain of CP9, really didn't know about, she told almost everything Raymond asked, no matter how confidential it was, without reservation.
gradually,
Only then did Raymond completely believe in his "soul slave".
"I don't know much about this plan to assassinate the chief of the 'Mountain Tribe'. Every operation is planned and arranged by the staff office of the headquarters, and I only have to follow orders... But from our intelligence, we have indeed known it for a long time. The 'Mountain Tribes' will come to raid."
"[War Emperor] is not a member of our CP9, but I have had several joint missions with their captain. I am sure that their captain has close contacts with the top leaders of the World Headquarters..."
"The captains of CP9 know very little about each other. We all have our own 'disguised identities' on weekdays. We will only assemble for action after receiving orders from the headquarters... As for the other members, I know the identities of some of them..."
"The headquarters is located at XX. This country of giants has three A-level dark spots and eight B-level liaison offices... There are many experts in the headquarters, and some of them are existences that I also find very difficult."
"When we join CP9, we will go to the headquarters for an oath-taking ceremony... As far as I know, whether it is the Navy or CP9, new members will swear loyalty to the 'Statue of Justice' when they join..."
"..."
This conversation also allowed Raymond to figure out a lot of "secrets".
It turns out that CP9, which has always been called an "unsolved mystery," actually exists in such a strict organizational structure.
Even the captain-level figure of CP9 does not fully understand the operation of the entire organization.
The CP9 headquarters has a special staff department to issue orders, which is a super-powerful organization directly linked to the General Staff Office of the World Headquarters.
It’s okay if you don’t understand,
As soon as he found out about it, Raymond suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Noah told a very terrifying fact, that is, the World Headquarters has become deeply entrenched in the world of navigation!
They have infiltrated almost all the large and medium-sized forces in the Endless Sea, including the revolutionary army, the "Eight Endless Emperors", and the royal families of all major kingdoms... They are so powerful that they are daunting.
This long conversation,
Many doubts that had troubled Raymond for many years were solved.
The more in-depth inquiries are made,
Raymond also became more and more aware of the horror of this [soul mark].
People who are under control will really regard their master as a "god" who cannot be betrayed or disobeyed.
Even if she were to ask this "world's best assassin" to commit suicide now, she would choose to execute it without hesitation.
but,
Apart from being completely obedient to Raymond, his "master", this [God-Assassin] Arno is no different in other aspects. He has the same outstanding combat power, the same quick thinking, the same ruthlessness...
...
While chatting, Raymond wanted to ask more about the situation.
But suddenly, an abnormal flush suddenly appeared on Arno's face in front of him, and he couldn't help but spurt out another mouthful of turbid blood.
Raymond's expression changed slightly: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry, Master, for soiling your clothes."
She looked at Raymond and stated a fact calmly: "Master, my physical condition is very bad now. I may not live long..."
This indifferent tone made it seem as if she was not the one who was hurt.
Raymond frowned, "What's going on?"
Arno was obviously very aware of his situation and said: "This is the voodoo curse of the giants... When I assassinated [Black Mountain] Root, I got his blood. I didn't expect that there was a witch on him."
The 'death curse' cast by the poisonous priest. Whoever kills him will be haunted by the curse..."
Raymond looked at the status displayed on Arno's attribute panel, and there was a reminder of "The Burial Flower Curse".
He frowned and seemed to have thought of something.
After pondering for a moment,
Raymond ordered: "Take off your clothes, and I will help you check your body...er...injury."
