We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

after parting

It's time to officially enter the battlefield.

In the afternoon.

A total of ten members of the infiltration operation have gathered at the pre-arranged location.

When they met before, they had told each other their names and had a general understanding.

Except for a few acquaintances that Shane knew.

The rest are basically strong men who have been famous in the Seven Seas for a long time.

There are both old instructors from the federal military and geniuses who once dominated the seven seas.

Although they come from different islands and sea areas, and have different personalities and abilities, they gather here for the same goal.

This made Xia En feel quite emotional.

Because the situation of [Great Flame] has been introduced before.

Therefore, after this gathering, Moritz spoke directly without any hesitation.

"Please stand on the magic circle in front. We will send you directly into the [Great Flame] through the teleportation magic circle."

In the center of the field, a magic circle emitting a faint blue light was ready to go.

Obviously in a semi-excited state.

Xia En did not hesitate and took the lead in walking into the formation.

Carles, Jane, An Bing, Latiwen and William followed closely behind.

After that, it’s Benny and the other action members.

Wait until everyone is standing on the teleportation circle.

Not far away, Moritz glanced at each of their faces, as if he wanted to remember them all in his mind.

Then, Moritz shouted softly: "Take off your hat! Salute!"

Give an order.

All soldiers and staff present gave a standard military salute to these ten operational members.

Their expressions were solemn, with a touch of respect in their eyes.

No matter their origin or origin, as long as they are in that position, they are worthy of doing this!

Moritz said solemnly: "I hope you all...will return in triumph!"

The next moment.

A blue light then lit up, quickly engulfing all action members.

When the light dissipated, everyone's figures had disappeared.

Moritz turned his head and said to the other soldiers.

"Let's go, we have our own mission to complete!"

…

…

In the blue light.

Along with a sense of weightlessness, Xia En felt as if his whole body was suddenly immersed in a whole new world!

Soon, the surroundings lit up quickly.

What appeared in Xia En's eyes was a dark and closed cabin.

There are a lot of black and green mold spots on the surrounding walls, and traces of rust can be seen everywhere.

It seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

But at the same time, Xia En also noticed that the styles of the furnishings in the room were very new and did not look like relics from the old era.

Shane even saw the unique standard equipment of the modern navy.

"here it is……"

After Xia En observed carefully for a moment, he came to the conclusion——

This place is exactly a cabin inside the [King].

According to Moritz, there are also some relatively stable areas inside [Great Flame].

These areas will show the original appearance of the [King].

Obviously, Shane happened to be transported to such a place.

In this case, I don’t know whether it’s good luck or bad luck.

The first time he regained consciousness, Xia En discovered that there were no other companions around him.

Obviously, as Moritz reminded him before, they were dispersed by the twisted power of [Great Flame] at the moment of teleportation.

Immediately, Xia En took out a special communicator and tried to contact his companions.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

Unfortunately, there was only a burst of electricity coming from the communicator.

Perhaps, the communicator can only be reactivated when they are in the same memory scene.

Faced with such an isolated and helpless situation, Xia En did not panic.

After all, he had been mentally prepared before this.

Xia En calmed down and searched the decaying cabin, hoping to find valuable information.

And this search really paid off.

There were many signs of smashing in the cabin.

For example, there were broken wine bottles, lopsided desk lamps, and desks that seemed to have been cleaned like a "desktop cleaning master."

However, these traces do not appear to have been the result of a hard battle.

It seemed like someone was doing it out of desperation.

even……

Shane also saw a torn diary.

Soon, Shane picked up the scattered pieces of paper and gradually pieced together some useful information.

【Today is the day to go to sea. 】

[Colonel Gold said that this will be an important secret operation and he hopes we will be mentally prepared. 】

[However, I can’t think of any enemy that can stand in the way of the powerful [King]? 】

[When this mission is over, I will give myself a long vacation and propose to my dear Mary. 】

[May the storm protect me...]

The first half of the diary contains the crew member's records from when he went to sea to when he arrived at the [Cold Sea].

During this period, although there were two or three storms and pirate ships, for the King, they were all insignificant disturbances.

It did not affect the navigation of the [King] at all.

Xia En quickly passed it over.

It is worth mentioning.

In the diary, he also saw the record about the [Black Swan]——

[As we approached the far north, we encountered a strange pirate ship. 】

[Colonel Gold projected the appearance and situation of the ship for us. ]

[With an active volcano erupting nearby, the ship resolutely rushed into the rain of fire. ]

[I have never seen a ship make such a tactical move. Countless smoke and flames not only failed to destroy it, but seemed to... become the nourishment of the ship! ]

[If there was no mission, Colonel Gold might have contacted the captain, right? ]

Seeing this, Shane felt a little strange.

But it is not difficult to see from this that the owner of the diary is not an ordinary crew member.

At least, he has a certain identity and status on the [King].

This is how he can get close to Colonel Gold and understand him.

Shane continued to look down, and the situation in the diary suddenly became weird.

[...Something happened that I don't know about! ]

[The door and windows of the room seemed to be locked from the outside. I was trapped, and I didn't know why! 】

【I thought it was a prank by other crew members, until I found out...】

【The scene outside the window, I don't know when it was frozen into a picture that will never change! 】

【I tried to tear down the door, roof, walls and floor, but I couldn't do it. My full-strength attack could only leave a tiny scratch on the floor. 】

【The most bizarre thing is that every time the time on the pocket watch passes twelve o'clock, most things in this room will reset. 】

【The water I drank, the food I ate, even the smashed bottles and the scratches on the floor will be restored miraculously and appear in their original positions. 】

【Only the diary... Only the words recorded in this diary have not disappeared! 】

【I can't explain this phenomenon with the knowledge I know, and I can't escape from this room. 】

【But I think Colonel Gold will definitely notice my disappearance and will definitely launch a rescue. 】

【As long as I hold on for a while, I will definitely be saved. 】

【I decided to start counting from today to avoid confusing time. ]

Then, the diary began to record dates.

[Day 1, rescue did not come. ]

[I started reading the books in the room to kill time. ]

[Day 2, rescue did not come. ]

[These books are written like a pile of dog shit. I regret not listening to Mary's advice and buying more classics. ]

…

[Day 10, rescue plane still did not come. ]

[I finished reading the book. ]

[I feel bored now, very bored. ]

[I want to sleep but can't. Oh, right! Wine! ]

[As long as I get drunk, I can fall asleep, right? ]

[In order to keep my mind clear, I have been restraining myself from drinking, but now I can't care so much. ]

…

[Day 28, or 29. ]

[No matter, it doesn't matter anymore. ]

[Drunk all day long, sleep, wake up and drink, time passes quickly. ]

[But I can't help but wonder, will rescue really come? ]

[No, as long as I hold on, I will definitely be able to...]

...

[It's about the 100th day.]

[I've had enough!]

[I'm locked in this small room all day, eating the same thing, drinking the same thing, and having nothing to do, like a prisoner without freedom.]

[If this continues, I'll be driven crazy!]

[I want to get out, I want to get out!]

...

[Day 161?]

[Something incredible happened!]

[When I turned the door handle casually, I felt it was a little loose.]

[This may mean that I can escape from this damn place!]

[Could it be... that the goddess of luck has finally descended on me?]

[However, the world outside the door may not still be the King at this time. I will stop drinking and prepare to leave here.]

...

[The door opened.]

[But outside the door is a completely unfamiliar place.]

[They actually call themselves citizens of "Dayan"!]

[Are you kidding? That is a country that has long been destroyed! ]

[Besides, why did everyone ignore me, as if they couldn't see me at all? What's going on? ]

...

[The second day after the door was unlocked. ]

[I pushed the door open again, but there was only ice and snow outside, which almost froze me to death. ]

[I could only hide back in the room in a hurry. ]

...

[The third day. ]

[The world outside the door changed again. ]

[This time it was a magnificent palace, which seemed to be a royal palace. ]

[Like before, no one noticed my existence. ]

[But no matter what, I didn't want to be locked in that room again. ]

[So I kept wandering around this royal palace, and with the help of the "invisible" feature, I did see some good scenery. ]

[But suddenly, I saw a man with flames all over his body. ]

[Just looking at him, I felt like I was going to burn myself to death. ]

[He glanced at me and said, 'Where did the ghost come from? ’】

【Then the next moment, I was back in this cabin. 】

【It’s so baffling! I obviously still have a heartbeat, breathing, and can still eat and drink. Why does he call me a ghost? 】

【etc……】

[Am I really still eating and drinking? 】

【When was the last time I ate? 】

At this point, the handwriting of the owner of this diary has become extremely trembling and distorted.

On the next page, such panic and despair finally reached its extreme.

【Fake! It's all fake! 】

[The world outside the door is all a figment of my imagination! 】

[They are all my hallucinations. I am still alive. I must still be alive! 】

[But why, those people can’t see me...Why, even if I scratched my skin with a knife, no blood came out...]

【No...no! It turns out that I have already...]

The contents of the diary ended abruptly here.

And Xia En looked at the empty navy uniform on the floor of the room and probably guessed the truth of the matter.

The reason why this room has become such an inescapable state.

I'm afraid it's because of [Great Flame]'s possession.

At that time, the owner of the diary died on the spot.

All that is left is an undead soul whose obsession is as strong as [Great Flame].

This also shows from the side that [Great Flame] seems to have the ability to transform other Mystic Pathfinders into the same kind.

Care must be taken.

on the other hand.

About half a year has passed in the diary owner's physical sense.

In fact, it has only been a little over two months since the [King] disappeared.

This means that the flow rate of time inside [Great Flame] may be different from the outside world.

The surface and interior of the "King" show signs of rust as if it had been abandoned for many years.

It was probably caused by this kind of time erosion.

Thinking of this, Xia En looked extremely serious and thought to himself.

"We have to speed up."

Just in case they haven't had time to destroy the key nodes, the [Great Flame] from the outside world has already gone berserk.

Then everything will be over.

at the same time.

Shane also noticed another piece of information revealed in the diary.

After the diary owner opened the door, he seemed to see various different scenes, but he could always return to this room.

This may mean-

Compared with other areas of [Great Flame], the scenes are chaotic and changeable.

This enclosed cabin is instead a relatively stable anchor point.

Moreover, the interior of the room is relatively safe and there is no danger.

In other words, outsiders such as Shane can use this place as a safe house when exploring.

You can take a break here or use it as a gathering place.

After sorting out the information.

Xia En didn't hesitate too much and walked directly to the door that had trapped the owner of the diary for nearly half a year.

Even he didn't know what he would see when he opened the door.

Xia En took a deep breath, slowly turned the handle, and pushed the door open.

Wow——

The moment he opened the door, a roar like a roaring mountain and a tsunami reached his ears.

The scene that greeted him was quite shocking to him.

The bright sunshine shines down through the blue sky.

The cool but not cold breeze blows through, which is particularly pleasant.

And what appeared in front of him was a magnificent and lively city!
