This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

"So these ships were created by the emperor..."

Mu You raised his eyebrows. The Ghost had just been surrounded, and then turned around and received a friend request. How could it be such a coincidence?

Mu You clicked to agree.

[Son of Heaven: Hello, I am bothering you late at night, and I still hope Haihan. 】

[Captain Ghost: So, are you planning to go to war immediately? 】

Mu You didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

【Son of Heaven: Please don’t misunderstand us. We don’t have any malicious intentions. It’s just that your ship is too fast. In order to prevent you from breaking into the sea of ​​evil spirits, we can only use this method to search for and intercept your ship. 】

[Son of Heaven: As for the sea ship that attacked you just now... those are pirates I hired. These people are not used to obeying the rules. They fired on your ship without permission just now. I have ordered them to stop and cause disturbance to you. On behalf of They apologize to you. 】

[Ghost Captain: So, you stopped me before entering the sea of ​​evil spirits, what exactly is the matter? 】

【Son of Heaven: I hope that both of us can discuss cooperation before entering the sea of ​​evil spirits. 】

Mu You raised his eyebrows, cooperation again?

[Captain Ghost: Oh? How do you plan to cooperate? 】

【Son of Heaven: If you don't mind, please come to the ship with the flag of spades on the left. 】

Mu You manipulated the war eagle to patrol to the left, and indeed a ship with the spade flag left the team and drifted towards this side.

Mu You turned back to type.

[Ghost Captain: Is there any trap prepared for me on the ship? 】

【Son of Heaven: A trap? 】

[Ghost Captain: For example, there are eight hundred knives hidden under the boat...]

[Son of Heaven: Hehe, you are joking, please believe in our sincerity. The purpose of my coming here is only for the two parties to have an open and honest talk, without any malice. 】

【Son of Heaven: Or if you are not at ease, we can go to your side as well. 】

[Captain Ghost: No need, just go to your side. 】

Mu You looked at the reminder on the phone and thought secretly. The emperor invited him to meet, which seemed a bit like a grand banquet, but he was not afraid of it, so he could just take this opportunity to find out some news. As for letting the other party come over, it was impossible. He didn't want the layout and details of the ship to be known.

...

At this time in Europe, the headquarters of the divine right of kings.

"He agreed?" the devil looked at the blond man and asked.

"I agree." The emperor nodded.

"Then... get ready to act..." The words that Xiao Xiao said appeared in the game text of everyone present.

Yes, at this moment, the three giants, the Son of Heaven and the Devil, are on the earth, and Smile has personally gone to the Astral Realm. He has some special detection abilities, and he is going to take a good look at this mysterious "Ghost Captain" from a close distance. , to obtain as much information as possible.

"Everything is ready, he came out, alone, in a small boat..."

On the spade ship, he stood on the deck with a smile and looked at the three-masted sailing ship in the distance. Because he was in the astral world, he could obtain information earlier and in more detail than other people's game texts.

At this moment, he had already seen a person jumping off the ghost ship, stepping on a flat boat, and gliding towards them at a very high speed, as if flying with a sword.

"Are you sure it's me?" the emperor asked through the game.

"It's me, the detection technique can't see anything abnormal, and the ID is indeed Captain Ghost, using the skin of the Ten Commandments, but the level and attributes are hidden, so I can't see it." Smiling.

"It doesn't matter, write down the appearance of his skin." The emperor said.

Of course, he didn't have the extravagant hope that he could directly win the opponent in just one meeting, but at least he should take advantage of this opportunity to collect as much information as possible about the opponent. If possible, it would be best to test out the opponent's true level and strength.

"Alone? No one else is following?" the demon asked.

"No, he's the only one who got off the ship at the moment."

"He really dares to come!" The devil asked again with a strange expression, "Where's the woman with the sickle?"

"I don't know, it hasn't appeared yet, but there is a great possibility that it is hidden on that ship..." said with a smile.

"Do you want to do it later when he gets on the boat?"

"Don't act rashly, talk about cooperation first, and it would be best if cooperation can be achieved." The emperor said.

He only said half of what he said, and the rest of the meaning was understood by others: If the other party refuses to cooperate, they must do it!

After a while, the flat boat approached, smiling as an observer, watching the person with the ghost captain ID above his head board the deck of the ship, and then walked into the main cabin under the leadership of a crew member.

At this moment, more than ten people have gathered in this cabin, one of which is a square table for meetings, and the emperor and the devil have already sat down at the other end of the square table.

[Son of Heaven: Please sit down, Mr. Ghost Captain, please rest assured, it is absolutely safe here. 】The emperor took the initiative to stand up and welcome.

【Devil: In addition, the balls on this table are lie detector beads. Don’t get me wrong. They have no other meaning. They are just to ensure that all the conversations in the meeting are true and effective, so as not to waste each other’s time. 】The demon on the side explained the function of the crystal ball in the center of the square table.

[Captain Ghost: Yes. 】

The emperor continued to speak after the text reminded all three to sit down at the table and the others took their seats.

[Son of Heaven: I want to confirm first that Fragment Five of Dawn City is indeed in your hands, right? 】This is the basis of their negotiation today. If the other party does not have Fragment Five, the cooperation will be meaningless.

[Captain Ghost: Before I answer, I also have a question for you. 】

【Son of Heaven: Please tell me. 】

[Captain Ghost: One and Nine of the Dawn City fragments are in your hands, right? 】

In the headquarters of the god-given monarchy, the emperor and the devil looked at each other.

"How did he know?" The demon frowned.

The emperor shook his head and entered the game.

[Son of Heaven: Yes. 】

[Captain Ghost: Then my answer is the same as yours, Fragment Five is indeed in my hands. 】

[Tianzi: That's good, then we can seriously talk about cooperation. 】

[Captain Ghost: How do you plan to cooperate? 】

【Tianzi: There is one thing I need to explain first. In fact, another group of people contacted us yesterday. They are the forces that have the most pieces of Dawn City besides our two...】

Tianzi typed and explained that a group of players who claimed to be pirate forces came to him the day before yesterday and wanted to discuss cooperation with him, exchange fragments and so on. They did not agree, but they did not explicitly refuse.

At this time, it was specifically proposed because this is an important bargaining chip, which can let the other party understand that they are not looking for cooperation now. If the other party does not agree, they can find other forces to cooperate.

What he didn't expect was that Captain Ghost's reply instantly disrupted his plan.

【Captain Ghost: Oh, that guy Jack has already contacted you...】

"Ok???"

The moment Mu You said this, the smile on the boat, as well as the emperor and devil on the earth side, all frowned.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't that Jack promise to the polygraph beads that he didn't have any contact with Captain Ghost and his staff..." Smiling stood outside the cabin, and sent a message to the two through the sound transmission device. Voice.

"Sure enough, that guy is lying to us!" The devil was furious.

"First make sure it's not alone..."

The emperor frowned and shook his head, typing in the game.

【Son of Heaven: Jack? 】

[Captain Ghost: Yes, Edward Jack. 】

The other party's answer confirmed that it was indeed the same person.

Looking at the polygraph beads that lit up without prompting, Tianzi had no choice but to continue typing.

【Son of Heaven: May I ask, what is your relationship with Edward Jack? 】

[Captain Ghost: Of course a partner. 】

[Son of Heaven: You mean, you are also currently cooperating? 】

[Captain Ghost: Yes. 】

[After the voice fell, there was no response from the polygraph beads, you are telling the truth. 】

Looking at the text in the game, Mu You smiled.

Jack hasn't come to him for so long, probably because he has already found a third collaborator and he is no longer needed.

But who made the other party not expressly reject it? At least for now, the final agreement between the two in the game is still 'each to find a new fragment owner, and then get together to discuss', so strictly speaking, the two are still in cooperation , Of course, his words are not lying.

He fully understood what was going on in his heart, but when the words fell into the other party's ears, the meaning was completely different, especially since he was wearing the vest of 'Captain Ghost' now.

The two events of 'Jack uniting with an ordinary fragment owner' and 'Jack uniting with the ghost captain' represent completely different weights, which are heavy enough to cause a serious misjudgment on the opposite side of the emperor.

[Their two families have actually united, no wonder Captain Ghost knows that both One and Nine are in our hands...] Smiling, he sent a sound transmission to the two to discuss.

"I said long ago that those sea monkeys are really not trustworthy, and these two families are basically the same group!" The devil slapped the table angrily.

"That's not necessarily true." The emperor shook his head, "If they were really united, Captain Ghost wouldn't have asked the question of one and nine just now, because that should be a certainty for him. The answer is right, he will ask, it means that he is not completely sure, there is at least one fragment on Jack’s side that he doesn’t know the number.”

"Jack said at the time that he had collected four fragments, and we also have four here. So, this person only has one fragment five? Or is Jack lying again?" The demon frowned.

"Ask again..."

The emperor thought for a while and continued typing.

[Son of Heaven: Excuse me, do you only have one piece of Dawn City in your hand? 】

[Captain Ghost: Of course not. 】

The polygraph bead is as quiet as before, and it is the truth again!

"He has other fragments in his hand!"

"Sure enough, Jack must have mastered a way to avoid the polygraph beads!" said the devil.

"But it's also possible that Captain Ghost has mastered the means of lying..." Smile analyzed another possibility.

"I feel that Jack is the bigger problem. After all, the polygraph beads and the venue were provided by the other party at that time. Who knows if he has tampered with it, but now the polygraph beads are on our side. We can ensure that there is no problem. It was also prepared by us, the possibility of Captain Ghost messing around is very small..." said the devil.

"Well, whoever is lying, there is no doubt that these two families have met and talked about joining forces!"

The emperor stopped the argument between the two, and said with a frown: "Now, let's consider the worst-case scenario, assuming that the fragments of the two families have already communicated with each other, and they each have the specific patterns of the five fragments. Get an entrance fragment here, and you can enter the city at any time!"

"What now?" asked the devil.

The Son of Heaven pondered for a few seconds before continuing to return to the game.

[Son of Heaven: Mr. Ghost Captain, please believe us, we have not reached any agreement with Jack, and we will not cooperate with him in the future, please also sever cooperation with him. The idea is to let our two families fight, so that he can profit from it. 】

[Captain Ghost: What do you mean? 】

[Son of Heaven: Let’s unite! Let's sign a contract, each provide the existing fragments, put the map together, and then work together to take down Dawn City. 】

[Son of Heaven: I fully believe in your strength, and even more in the strength of our divine authority. If we can unite, absolutely no other force will be our opponent. In this way, we can take Liming City lightly without any risk! 】

[Captain Ghost: That's right! It coincides with my thoughts. 】

[Captain Ghost: Then after the city is captured, who will be the city lord? 】

【Son of Heaven: I mean, take turns. 】

[Son of Heaven: It is limited to one month. One party will be the city lord for one month, and the other party will be replaced for the second month, and so on. And the contract can state that during the period of being the city lord, our two families are not allowed to entrap and attack each other. 】

[Captain Ghost: But in the mission description, it was mentioned that the 'city master's period is one year', you are not sure if the city master can be changed at will during this year without dying, are you? 】

[Son of Heaven: Yes, I'm not sure, if the city lord must serve for a full year, how about taking turns every year? 】

[Captain Ghost: Yes...so I will be the first city lord. After all, I hold the most important fragment No. 5. 】

[Smile: Wait a minute, God, this is not appropriate, is it? 】

Smile couldn't bear to hear it outside, so she hurriedly interjected.

[Captain Ghost: Why is it inappropriate? 】

[Smile: First of all, where does the conclusion that 'the fifth fragment is the most important' come from? In my opinion, the three fragments of '159' are equally important. We provided two valid fragments, and you only have one on your side, and there are more invalid fragments on our side, so the first city lord In any case, we should be in charge...]

[Smile: Of course, we also know that the value of the first city lord is higher than that of subsequent years, so as compensation, you will be the city lord for the second and third years, how about it? If you are still not satisfied, we can also provide some material compensation, this is our greatest sincerity! 】

[Captain Ghost: If you want to say this, my sincerity is even greater. I will only be the city lord for the first year, and you will be the city lord for the next ten years. How about it? 】

[Smile: Ah, this...]

The conference table suddenly fell silent. Obviously, neither of the two parties intends to give up the right to be the city lord for the first year, and the negotiation has reached a deadlock.

After a while, the emperor spoke again.

【Son of Heaven: In your opinion, is there a more suitable distribution method? 】

[Captain Ghost: The allocation method is simple, we just draw lots. 】

[Son of Heaven: Grab...lots? 】

[Captain Ghost: Just roll! Is this function available in the game options after the public beta? Enter roll+number range, you can get a random number, and the number will not be affected by any luck and magic effects, it is absolutely true and effective. 】

[Captain Ghost: Since no one is willing to sacrifice the bonus period of the first year, let fate decide! 】

[Captain Ghost: Of course, as compensation for you holding more fragments, the three of you can each roll a number, and I only roll once alone. Whoever has the largest number in the end will be the city lord, how about it? 】

【Son of Heaven: This...】

[Captain Ghost: I think I have already made a big concession. The three of you are one to me. You have a three-quarters chance of winning the city lord. If you dare not agree to this, what is your so-called sincerity? 】

In the European castle, the devil looked at the blond young man with frowning eyebrows beside him: "Why, don't you agree? I think this condition can be a gamble!"

Under normal circumstances, they competed with two legendary masters, and they also had to face Jack, a third-party force with unknown intentions. There was only a half chance of winning Dawn City.

But at this time, agreeing to the other party's conditions, there is a 75% probability of getting the city lord, and it can save you the trouble of standing on the opposite side with two super masters. It is worth it no matter what.

"Tianzi, are you worried that the other party has the means to affect the result of the roll point?" At this time, he smiled and asked through voice transmission.

"No way..." the demon was surprised.

The function of the roll point, of course, has been researched in various posts on the forum before, and the conclusion is unified: this point is indeed not affected by any factors, at least there is no ability to affect the result of the roll point.

The emperor shook his head and sighed, "Get ready to do it."

Doubting the result of the roll point is only one aspect, and more importantly, his own personality simply cannot accept such a thing of betting the future on a random probability.

Looking at it now, the opponent's goal is the same as his, they are all determined to compete for the first year's city lord. If this is the case, the cooperation will be impossible, and there is only one battle!

Demon and Smile were a little surprised when they heard the words, but they didn't say much, and immediately got ready to fight.

Now that the cooperation has failed, the next step is to take advantage of this good opportunity to kill the opponent once. As long as you can successfully kill, you can get the opponent's level and attributes, so as to see the reality of the opponent. At least first confirm whether the opponent is Not legendary power.

At this time, no one has spoken in the game for two minutes.

The Son of Heaven was secretly gathering people to attack, but just as they were about to attack, a hint of a smile came from the game.

[Smile: Wait, something is wrong! It's foggy at sea! 】

【Son of Heaven: Fog? where? 】

[Smile: Right near the other party's ship, a white mist suddenly enveloped the other party's ship just now. 】

Looking at the text in the game, the Son of Heaven realized something, and hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, do it now!"

"And let those hired pirate ships open fire and sink the opponent's ship!"

Now that he has decided to turn his face, he can't hold back. It is unrealistic to completely kill the opponent here, but at least the opponent's ship must be destroyed, thereby greatly weakening the opponent's competitiveness in the ocean.

With an order, more than a dozen people in the entire cabin of the Spade made their moves together.

At the same time, on the outside sea, the surrounding pirate ships roared, and various magical powers and goblin technology ship cannons shot out, directly blasting towards the foggy area in the center.

In the cabin, Xiao Xiao, as the only person present who was in another world, was the main force in this battle, attacking the ghost captain with the fiercest attack.

In order to test Captain Ghost's strength, he was ready to be counter-killed by the opponent and sacrificed once or even many times.

But what he didn't expect was that this blow hit the target easily, and the sword blade shining with fire easily penetrated the back of the black-robed man in front of him, protruding from his chest.

The next moment, other people attacked one after another, and the light and shadow of magic instantly engulfed the figure of the man in black.

"No, this is just a clone!"

Looking at the figure in the blink of an eye that turned into wood chips, he reported the news with a dark face and a smile.

"Avatar? Aren't you sure he is the main body?"

"Who knows, this avatar is too high-grade, at least at the level of forbidden spells, enough to confuse the real one with my detection technique..." The smile is a little awkward, but now is not the time to worry about it.

If the person coming from the opposite side is just a clone, it means that the other party's body is most likely still on the ghost ship, and the fog is obviously caused by the other party.

Now the two sides are already torn apart, and their long-storage burst hits the cotton, and next, it is very likely that it will be their turn to meet the opponent's fierce counterattack!

"The fog has spread..."

He came to the deck with a smile and looked worriedly at the sea ahead.

The white mist was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, rolling and rushing like a sea of ​​clouds, rushing from far to near, covering all the ships on the nearby sea in a blink of an eye.

"squeak……"

Just as he was smiling and thinking about where the other party's counterattack would start, a series of low and thin beeps suddenly sounded from the bottom of the boat.

"thunder?"

Smiling and moving his ears, he tried hard to distinguish.

The whistling sound increased rapidly, as if it was a symphony of crackling sounds mixed together by countless tiny electric arcs.

In the next second, he saw an arc more than ten meters long rising from the bottom of the sea, like a dazzling laser sword, cutting towards the side of the ship where he was.

"The other party is hiding in the bottom of the sea!!"

Smiling so that his eyelids twitched, he hastily issued a warning to everyone.

But it was still a step too late, the arc speed was not fast, but the ship was too big, there was no room to dodge at all.

Amidst the noisy whistling of the lightning arc, everyone could only watch helplessly as the beam of electric arc cut through the middle of the hull until it split the entire ship in two.
