Weird deep sea game, I can fish unlimitedly

Chapter 271 Mission progress increases, items lost in the vault

The evening of October 7th, the thirteenth cycle, the world of the endless sea.

Main tower of Storm's End, inside the Governor's office.

The warm golden sun in the evening shines in from the tall and long vintage windows, forming beams of light in the air, with tiny floating lights flying inside.

Ups and downs danced in the rich warm sun, dyeing everything in the office golden.

Looking around, there were wooden tables, chairs, bookshelves, and various books stacked on one wall.

Opposite the bookshelf is a huge globe half as tall as a man. Next to the globe are the sand table of the Endless Sea, the sand table of Storm Island, and various maps and nautical charts on the wall...

At this moment, they all seemed to have been filtered, becoming warm and cozy.

Gradually, the aroma of tea filled the room, and Sia, who was wearing a light blue dress, was making tea.

On the other side, in front of the governor's desk, Li Feng was reading the document for interrogating the player. The document showed that the person who performed the interrogation was Mathas.

On Trial: Pete Bell

Occupation: Oyster vendor in Wind's Breath

Reason for trial: Stealing a first-level secret treasure. After being discovered, he violently resisted and injured others. He showed strength that was contrary to his thin body. He was suspected of having awakened to the supernatural.

Later, when the police arrived, he collapsed emotionally, uttered an unfamiliar language, and tried to escape.

Interrogator: Mathas

Interrogation process: When I ordered people to tie him to the torture rack, Bell thought his problem was about stealing the secret treasure.

He claimed that someone was hunting him down and that he had to ascend to transcendence in order to protect himself.

I told him that we have many preferential treatments for those who have awakened to the extraordinary, and he seemed much relieved.

Then I asked Bell who was chasing him. Bell said it was an Abyss Favorite. He said he saw it with his own eyes.

I doubt this, because there is no reason for an abyss-favored person to pursue and kill a quasi-supernatural person, because the benefits are minimal.

Under my coercion of torture, Bell told me that the Abyss Favored One had a mission.

The word "task" came up again, and I asked him who gave him the task, but at this time, Bell began to remain silent, even though I used some punishment on him.

After that, I started asking him the real reason why he was sent here, why he knew those strange languages, and what did they mean?

When Bell heard me asking this, he looked obviously nervous.

At first, he refused to admit that he had spoken those languages.

But when I took the police recording document and read out the strange syllables recorded by the police, Bell became frightened. He seemed to finally realize the problem, but he remained silent.

After that, I tortured him once. Unable to bear the torture of his soul, Bell finally spoke.

Sure enough, he said that he was a player who had traveled from another world. He had a "system" and he had some tasks that must be completed.

He said that he just wanted to play a game at first. He applied for the qualification to play the game, and then came to the Endless Sea and became a different person.

I don't quite understand what he means by games and game qualifications.

The game Bell was talking about seemed very complicated, and it was different from what I understood as the games played by children.

Afterwards, I asked him about the other world.

Judging from his description, it is similar to the previous players. He also said some things that are incomprehensible.

Based on the investigation of their identities, I found that Bell did not know each other and had no interaction with the previous interrogators.

Later, when I wanted to ask him the most important thing, whether he would return to another world every half a month as the player said, he started to become crazy and talk nonsense.

As usual, Bell went crazy. Half an hour later, he became stupid.

I judge that the players must have been under some kind of evil curse, which restricts them from telling the truth.

If violated, a curse will be triggered.

But when I opened Bell's upper and lower eyelids, I found no traces related to forbidden spells.

Therefore, I am not sure at the moment what curse was placed on them and who placed the curse on them.

Finally, I confirmed through Bell's soul that there was no possibility of him regaining consciousness, and ended his life.

Trial date: August 2.

‘August 2…’

The slanting sun shone in, giving Li Feng's black formal suit a layer of warmth, and also illuminated the interrogation record in his hand brightly.

Li Feng remembered that a few months ago, the soldiers of Storm's End were indeed arresting players, and he had encountered them once.

Recalling that experience, coupled with the interrogation record, Li Feng discovered that Storm's End mainly uses the language of the player world to identify who the players are.

‘It’s still very primitive and requires a certain amount of serendipity. ’

But even so, Storm's End still has a lot of information related to players.

Missions, systems, another world, and returning to the player world every half month...

Because the document in his hand was very thick, Li Feng continued to flip through it quickly.

Then he discovered that in addition to Storm's End arresting players, the governors of other islands were also arresting players.

And they are still sharing information.

Holding this stack of thick documents, Li Feng was somewhat frightened. As he flipped through it quickly, the document suddenly stopped on one page, and then a certain word came into view:

Discovery.

Li Feng:!

Time seemed to freeze for a second.

‘Discovery? Are there any players related to Discovery? ’

Not daring to be careless, Li Feng quickly browsed the page.

First of all, based on the sun emblem on the page and the first line of markings, Li Feng knew that this was a document sent from the Governor's Palace of Glory Island.

Unlike recording the interrogations of other players, this page only recorded an incident that happened a few months ago that they later believed was related to the player.

The protagonist of the incident was a sailor, a native of Sun City, Shining Island, who worked on the Discovery passenger ship during his lifetime, named Harvey.

Records say that in June this year, Harvey, who went to sea with the Discovery, began to act abnormally after returning to his home in Sun City, Shining Island.

Every night, he would speak some language that people couldn't understand, and do all kinds of weird or dangerous actions like he was mentally disturbed.

But every time the sun came up, Harvey returned to normal.

Harvey's brother and sister-in-law, who lived with him, thought he must be sick, so they sent him to a doctor to treat his hysteria.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor from Shining Island believed that Harvey had a mental problem.

But after some treatment, whether it was bloodletting, medicine, or even extraordinary methods, Harvey was not getting better.

Then, finally on the night of July 1st, Harvey, who was out of control, touched a knife and ended his life.

Harvey's story ends here, and at the bottom of the page is the summary of the person who recorded it.

Because Harvey spoke an unknown language that no one could understand at night, he suspected that Harvey was also a player.

So when the governors of each island discovered the existence of players at the end of July and beginning of August, some people remembered the dead Harvey and recorded all his details in the investigation report.

But Li Feng, who read the record, didn't think so.

Harvey only becomes abnormal at night, which is completely different from the consequences of violating the game's warnings.

But this does not mean that Harvey has no problems.

His fingers crossed July 1, the date Harvey committed suicide.

And Li Feng also clearly remembered that July 1st was the date he entered the game through time travel, and it was also the date the Discovery encountered a shipwreck and sank.

‘So there might be something on the Discovery, and its sinking doesn’t seem to be as simple as a shipwreck. ’

Thinking back to the investigation by the Black and White Institute, Discovery was related to a fire-worshiping cult and the mysterious man who robbed the Glory Vault.

According to the system mission, it was also learned that the mysterious man was a player who smuggled himself from Xinxing.

As for Nova, there are only the last two months of that world.

‘So, we need to check out Xinxing and the Zoroastrian Cult. ’

Li Feng went through all the clues he got today and found some direction.

At the same time, footsteps sounded behind him, and the aroma of tea wafted up.

Knowing that it was Xia coming over with tea, Li Feng was about to close the document.

However, when he ran his hand across the paper and touched the footer, he found that the footer of the Harvey page he had just read had been folded up.

Touching the creases, Li Feng felt a shiver in his heart. No wonder this stack of documents was so thick. He had just flipped through it casually and stopped at this night.

It turned out that he had been tagged before.

But...who could it be?

The aroma of tea became stronger and stronger, and countless thoughts passed through Li Feng's mind in the flash of lightning.

In this pile of documents, Harvey's ephemeral incident alone has nothing worthy of note compared with other records of real interrogations of players.

There's no reason for Penros Fell to fold a neat footer here, and Thea...

The investigation of players happened several months ago. Logically speaking, this kind of file should be hidden in a corner, rather than spread out on the table.

Therefore, Shia must have known about the player's existence.

'But why did she mark Harvey's page again...'

Li Feng's thoughts were racing, and he immediately realized:

‘Yes, I once told Sia that the ship I was on was called Discovery, and it was the same ship where Harvey was a sailor.

Moreover, it was the governor's office that Sia brought me to just now. Did she already know something, or was she hinting at something? ’

Li Feng followed his guess and then remembered that Xia knew that Lai Yin was a pseudonym, so why did she deliberately hide it in front of Huang Yanyan just now?

Did she really guess something?

"What are you looking at?"

Just when Li Feng was feeling frightened, Xia came over and placed a beautifully crafted silver tea tray with camellias on the table. On the tea tray were two bone china teacups filled with tea.

"Look at the confidential documents of Storm's End."

Li Feng's expression was as usual. He lightly raised the document in his hand. No matter what the facts were, he had no intention of hiding it.

Seeing this, Xia's golden eyes rolled on Li Feng's face, and then she laughed, took the pile of documents in Li Feng's hand, threw it aside, and then handed over the brewed tea.

"Last night, I received a letter from Governor Lloyd of Glory Island. He wanted me to be on Storm Island and pay attention to the mysterious person who robbed the Glory Treasury."

Sitting on the velvet sofa by the window with Li Feng, Xia talked about the glorious island.

"I heard Morningstar talk about the mysterious man on Shining Island."

Li Feng replied that as for the mysterious man's robbery of Guanghui Treasury, he heard from Huang Yanyan.

"Did the mysterious man steal anything?"

Li Feng asked casually. His system mission was to investigate the truth about the mysterious man's robbery.

Sia shook her head gently:

"I heard that something was indeed lost, but Governor Lloyd kept it secret, so no one knows what was lost."

‘The same news that Yanyan got. ’

Li Feng nodded. He didn't have much hope at first. After all, it was a system task. How could it be so easy to do?

However, at this time Sia smiled slyly:

"No one knows what's missing except me."

Seeing Li Feng's surprise after hearing this, Xia frowned and couldn't hide her pride:

"Actually, you and I have heard about the things that the mysterious man took away, and even got imitations of them. Do you remember the cinnabar cup at the Theater of Sorrow?"

"Cinnabar cup?"

Li Feng was really shocked when he heard this.

Recall that in the performance on the first floor of the Theater of Sorrow, the Cinnabar Cup was given birth to by a woman in a secluded cabin in the deep forest.

Moreover, for the smooth birth of the Cinnabar Cup, two people killed themselves alive.

"Yes, I got the news from Haishi."

Sia explained her sources.

After hearing this, Li Feng also remembered that after killing Penros Fair, he had asked Hazan to let the trolls run the sea market well.

Just as he was thinking about various details, Li Feng's system suddenly prompted a message:

[Your mission progress increases by 50%]

[Task: Investigate the lost items in the Glory Vault]

[Task progress: 50%]

[Task description: Players who smuggled in from Xinxing stole the Cinnabar Cup sealed in the Glory Vault and tried to find a way to investigate the subsequent truth of the matter. 】

[Task reward: ‘your’ memory. 】

As the text flashes line by line in front of you, the task progress on the task interface is also updated.

‘There is a response to the mission, and it seems that it is indeed the Cinnabar Cup. ’

Li Feng thought for a moment, and because of the relationship between Hai Shi and Xia, he learned that the thing that the new star player took away was the Cinnabar Cup.

But the mission requirement is to investigate the truth of the incident, so it seems that they also need to investigate the specific purpose of the rising star player who stole the Cinnabar Cup.

Outside the tall, slender window, the sun was setting.

Li Feng took out the cinnabar cup prop he had obtained at the Theater of Sadness. He looked at it carefully and couldn't help but ask:

"So what is the origin of the Cinnabar Cup? Is it related to the Mother of Gargoyles?"

Recalling the mother of the gargoyles who was captured alive by the trolls after the Theater of Sorrow collapsed, Li Feng felt that she must still be a cute cat demon.

"I think you should ask the Mother of Gargoyles whose servants she is."

Seeing Li Feng's troubled look, Xia felt it was rare. Under the golden sunshine, Xia blinked and smiled.

"who is it?"

Li Feng asked, after not seeing each other for a few days, he suddenly realized that Xia knew a lot of things that he didn't know.

"It's the Lava Lord."

Sia answered seriously:

"From very ancient times, the master served by the Mother of Gargoyles is the Lava Lord."

"Lava Lord?"

Li Feng understood, but he didn't expect to come back to the lava lord after going in a circle.

However, since he is the lava lord...

This kind of creature allows you to fish out a godhead contaminated by filth, and exchange it for 200 points of godhead fusion in one go.

Li Feng suddenly became interested in Discovery, Glory Island, Cinnabar Cup, and Xinxing.
