The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Since receiving the mission to board this smuggling ship composed of pirates, Jason has never had a good night's sleep. He knows very well what will happen in the waters of the Black Reef in the near future, even if he has done everything This kind of preparation, but he still has no confidence that he can complete the task alive, after all, it is the legendary battle of gods.

A few months ago, the organization sent down the task, and in the task information, the reasons for the task were recorded in detail. At that time, all colleagues who saw the task felt that someone was joking with them, and even edited the task. Few jokes.

But when they learned that this mission was not a joke, and everything was true, they all wondered if the person who released the mission was crazy, and dared to make small moves in the battle of gods.

They didn't seriously consider the feasibility of this task until they knew that the task issuer was the president.

Undoubtedly, the vast majority of people think that there is no difference between performing this task and sending them to death. Even if it is a task issued by the president himself, no one is willing to take this task, but there are exceptions to everything. People who are extremely coveted think that they are lucky and an exception, so they take this task. Jason is such a person, at least he thought so before accepting the task.

However, when he knew more detailed mission details, his original thoughts immediately turned 180 degrees. He felt that he was doomed this time. mission accomplished.

Now for Jason, the only hope of survival is that the talent of their Yuanhuo family can be used in front of the gods. For this reason, he even exchanged all his possessions for resources before the trigger, and then invested them in Yuanhuo, Let the source fire have enough strength to withstand the aftermath of the battle of the gods.

It's just that, compared to his current state, Jason sympathizes with the pirates on the ship more. At least he knows that even if he dies, these greedy pirates have embarked on a road of no return because of their greed. I don't know if this ship will still exist after the war of gods, and how many people on board will survive.

"Jason, call back! Jason, call back!" Jason was once again out of nervousness and habitually inspecting the devices needed for the task. The sudden sound of the communicator startled him, and he almost took the device in his hand. It fell.

After carefully putting the equipment away, Jason picked up the communicator, calmed down the irritation just now, and then asked the mission partner opposite the communicator, "Ross, what's the matter? Why did you suddenly use the communicator to contact me?" ? Don't you know that the communicator should only be used in an emergency?"

"I think now is the time of urgency." The opposite party obviously didn't take Jason's words seriously, he briefly defended, and then said: "Do you remember how many people took the mission?"

"Four people." Jason replied, with some doubts: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"But we have five boats here now." The other side said in a deep voice.

Jason was stunned when he heard the words, and then suppressed all the discomfort in his heart, quickly left the cabin that he hadn't stepped out of for many days, and came to the deck under the curious gaze of the sailors in the cabin aisle.

He is very clear why these sailors look at him with this kind of sight, because if he is not the person involved, he will also have this kind of sight. After all, a person stays in the cabin for a month on the ship, and the number of times he leaves the cabin is very few. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel weird, even if this person is an employer.

However, in Jason's mind, his strange behavior is the most effective protection measure, because for him, every time he leaves the cabin, it is a dangerous act of revealing his identity.

Although he is very willing to believe in the camouflaged body provided by the organization and does not think that he may be exposed, but after all, he is not a lurker specially trained by the organization, and has sufficient human behavior training. He has only received relevant training for less than a month. It's just training, he doesn't think that he is so talented that after less than a month of training, he can perfectly disguise as a human and hide his usual non-human habits.

For him, pretending to be human is simply a disaster, especially in order to pretend to be more human, he has to spend a period of time in the dirty toilet on the ship every day, which makes him almost unbearable every time If you want to give up the mission and burn the whole ship down.

Now that he has survived the long sea voyage and endured all the bad things that can be endured, he has arrived at the first mission point mentioned in the information. It only takes a few more days to reach the second mission point, and he can completely Freed, whether it is completing the mission or dying on the mission, it is a relief for him, so for him, the last thing he wants to hear is that there is an abnormal situation in the mission, but the abnormal situation just happened like this.

According to the information provided by the president, there should only be four of their ships on Horseshoe Reef, but now that there is one more ship, it is equivalent to an extra unpredictable variable, although this kind of variable was in the prediction of the past president. It's not that it hasn't happened before, but it's the first time that such a variable is so large that a ship is present.

After reaching the deck, Jason easily recognized the variable ship without spending any time identifying it.

Just like the ships hired by those who received the mission according to the instructions, the variable ship is also a sail-steam double-powered ship. As far as they know, most of the people who use this type of ship at sea are disguised. Smugglers and pirates into fishing, freight, or passenger ships, at least the four ships they hired.

Pirate ships are not terrible things. Even if there is any conflict, Jason doesn't think that one ship of the other party can defeat the four of them, but this ship appeared in this sea area at this time, and the hidden The danger is far more serious than pirates.

"That's Hailesa's Beloved." At this time, the captain of the ship walked up to Jason with a pipe in his mouth, pointed to the ship Jason saw, and introduced: "And the other ships that have been with us during this time The three ships are the same, this ship is also a disguised pirate ship, and this guy Hailesa is still a kind of extremely cunning pirate, he will not make a move if he does not see enough benefits." As he said, he used those pupils Staring at Jason with small eyes with big whites, he asked tentatively, "We have already arrived at the first location. You should tell me what you plan to do, right? That way I can cooperate with you."

Jason looked at the captain he had hired, and without saying anything, he turned and left the deck, and walked to his cabin, his attitude seemed extremely contemptuous throughout the process.

In fact, he didn't intend to take such a contemptuous attitude, it was entirely because he didn't know how to communicate with humans. Although the human behaviors he learned also had content for communicating with humans, he didn't think that what he had learned could deceive He used to be a cunning pirate ship captain, so he minimized his conversations with humans and the like, so that he could appear superior.

"Captain, do we want..." After Jason left the deck, the first mate came up and asked while making a gesture.

The captain gave his subordinates a white look and said, "Do you know what background he has? Do you know his ability? Don't think too much if you don't know anything, or you will only cause trouble for us. I have seen too many people who don't use their brains. They all got into various troubles in the end, either died on land or sank in the sea, I don’t want to be one of them,” he warned very seriously: “Let all the boys below give me Be honest, don't mess around, if anyone can't control their hands, feet and lower body, I don't mind sending them to see the sea gods."

Hearing the captain's warning, the first officer couldn't help shrinking his neck, and quickly said yes.

Below the deck, under the watchful eyes of the sailors, Jason returned to his cabin. After closing the door, his tense spirit eased a little. Then he looked at his human disguise in the copper mirror of the cabin, and regretted choosing this disguise in his heart, because this disguise was a bit too beautiful by human standards. It is easy to get into some trouble, even if his disguise is male.

After hesitating for a while, Jason picked up his communicator, connected to the public line, and at the same time said to his colleagues on other ships: "I propose to deal with the third plan, as long as that ship does not affect our follow-up Don’t interfere too much with the planned behavior, otherwise we will only add more uncontrollable variables.”

Some people disagreed with Jason's topic and said, "Jason, you are too conservative. According to me, the four of us should join forces to get rid of that ship first, and completely erase this variable, so as not to be destroyed when the mission is critical. , it came out to interfere with the mission."

"What you want to do is your business. I will only deal with it according to the plan I proposed. I will not interfere too much with what other people want to do. Let this call end like this." Jason responded coldly Overcoming the doubts of his colleagues, he directly turned off the communicator, and decided not to turn on the communicator until the second stage was opened.

After putting away the communicator, Jason was going to eat some dessert to adjust his mood. Although the human disguise made him feel all kinds of discomfort, but after the disguise, he could eat human food and feel the various tastes brought by the food. A good thing, especially the taste of dessert, can brighten his bad mood every time.

However, when he took out the desserts he bought at the last pier and was about to feast on them, he suddenly stopped, put the desserts in his hands back on the table, and then looked around suspiciously.

The cabin is not very big, it is a standard travel cabin, and everything in the cabin can be seen clearly at a glance.

However, what puzzled Jason was that the things in the cabin had not changed from when he left just now, but his source fire was telling him that there seemed to be something more in the cabin, but this reminder was very vague and not more specific Content.

"Could it be that humans have been camouflaging for too long, causing the source fire to change?" Jason checked the cabin repeatedly, but found no problems, and couldn't help talking to himself.

What he said is not uncommon in the organization. Many colleagues have been tainted with some characteristics of human behavior because they have been pretending to be human for a long time. Some colleagues even think that they are more suitable for human form, thus completely abandoning the real body. , Married and had children with humans in human form.

Jason never thought that one day he might be infected with human behavior traits, such as suspiciousness. In his opinion, those colleagues who were assimilated by humans in disguise are biological bodies, which are fundamentally different from the elemental bodies of their Yuanhuo family. , it stands to reason that the behavior of living organisms should not affect the elemental body.

Just when Jason was thinking about whether he should conduct some behavior tests to determine whether he was infected by human behavior characteristics, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in the room, saying: "It's really interesting, even in the abyss, this kind of Flame life is very rare, although there are relevant records in the inheritance memory, but before I actually saw it today, I couldn't fully believe those contents."

Immediately afterwards, a man's voice also sounded, saying: "Elemental life is indeed very magical. Among the countless civilizations in the universe, there are only a handful of civilizations composed of elemental life, and each of them is protected by the highest council of the universe. Civilization is more mysterious."

"Who is it?" Jason looked nervously in the direction of the voice, and saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa that was still empty before. The extremely beautiful woman from human eyes made Jason feel extremely dangerous, as if he saw a natural enemy, and he was like a piece of dessert in the eyes of the other party.

The two in front of them were Leo and Sylvia. They had already dived into the boat, but they had no plans to show up before. They didn't decide to show up until they heard the call between Jason and the others.

"Don't be nervous. We won't do anything to you. We're just curious about you and your fellow shipmates. I hope you can answer a few questions to satisfy our curiosity." Leo comforted his face Jason, who was full of nervousness, although this kind of comfort did not work.

"Of course, you can also choose to refuse to answer our questions. In that case, we may use some means to achieve our goals. I believe you will never be willing to bear those means." Compared to Leo's reassurance, Sylvie On the contrary, Ya's threat eased the other party's tension a lot.

At this moment, Jason has completely given up resisting, because he knows very well that even if he resists, there is no possibility of success at all, because Sylvia feels extremely terrifying to him, and even the patriarch of the Yuanhuo clan did not let him have such a strong feeling. Although Leo on the side didn't feel as strong as Sylvia, when he saw Leo, he instinctively thought of the mysterious president, which also made him sure of Leo's identity. The degree of danger will only be higher than that of the president, not lower.

Jason, who has adjusted his mentality, is still nervous, but he has the ability to deal with it. I saw him sitting on the chair opposite Leo and Sylvia, and calmly said to the two: "You can ask! Can you If you can answer, I will naturally answer, if you can’t answer, I won’t say it.”
