Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 105 Hidden Map Fragments
Jiang Ran looked at the key in her hand with a strange expression, and at the wooden box that had collapsed completely because of her gentle push, wondering where the door was.

Surely it's not at the very bottom of the Sea of ​​Death?
The Sea of ​​Death is called the Sea of ​​Death not only because its waters are teeming with countless dangerous creatures, but also because of the inherent characteristics of the ocean itself.

Whether you can swim or not, once you leave your boat and fall into the sea, you will sink completely in less than ten seconds and never float again.

Therefore, Jiang Ran had no idea what the situation was like at the bottom of the sea.

Putting aside the characteristics of the ocean itself, the dangerous creatures in the deep sea are far more terrifying than those that players can catch.

The deeper the ocean, the more likely it is to breed giant monsters, let alone this Sea of ​​Death, which is full of curses and pollution.

With a sigh, Jiang Ran carefully put away the key that she didn't need for the time being.

I really hope that one day I'll come across an island with a door that perfectly fits this key.

Before leaving the captain's cabin, Jiang Ran casually nudged the pile of scrap wood with her foot, thinking of throwing it into the sea.

But as soon as she started rummaging through the wood, her casual gaze sharpened—there seemed to be a small piece of paper buried in the pile of wood.

He bent down and picked up the piece of paper.

[Congratulations, player, you have obtained 1 hidden map fragment.]

A hidden map? The box was clearly empty when I got the key.

Looking at the completely unrecognizable rotten wood chips, Jiang Ran guessed that the map must have been sandwiched between pieces of wood before.

The fragment was only half the size of a palm, with fine and dense lines and text on it. Only some marked points could be vaguely seen, and it was unclear where they pointed.

[New map fragment detected. Do you want to activate the corresponding area on the map? Yes/No.]

Jiang Ran was delighted and clicked "Yes" immediately.

On her game panel, the vast map that originally covered only a few dozen kilometers of surrounding sea suddenly shrank continuously until the area where she was located was only the size of a mung bean.

Then, in the upper left corner of the map's edge, a small patch of the map suddenly lit up, and the text and punctuation marks were all mapped onto the map.

Jiang Ran opened the map and discovered that the coordinates were marked next to the punctuation marks!

There are only three punctuation marks in total, and it's unclear whether they point to an island, a pirate island, or... a treasure-hunting area.

Jiang Ran copied the coordinates of the three punctuation marks and then closed the map. She hadn't yet decided how to get there.

On the map, these points are indeed quite far from her current coordinates. Teleporting directly there would be reckless, given the uncertainty of what she would face.

After sorting everything out, Jiang Ran finally looked at Xiaobai, who had been silent ever since Majik was locked up, and chuckled, "Why are you so quiet today?"

Xiao Bai asked, somewhat puzzled, "I'm wondering, is there anything that Majik can do for his master that I can't?"

Jiang Ran chuckled: "Are you troubled by what Majik said before?"

Xiaobai shook her head: "I don't know what distress is, but I can feel my own rejection of Majik."

At this point, he showed such obvious bewilderment for the first time: "Master, as a puppet, I can die for you at any time, and no matter how many puppets you have, that will not change. Strangely, I also sensed a similar emotion in Majik."

“I don’t know how to describe it. It’s like, Majik was once a puppet of some being. I can feel a slight resonance, but it’s also completely different. I can’t pinpoint where that resonance comes from.” Jiang Ran’s smile paused.

She originally thought that Xiaobai felt threatened because of what Majik had said before, and was worried that she would really kill him. She never expected him to say such a thing.

She then realized that Xiao Bai was ultimately just a puppet who acted entirely according to her wishes. Just as Xiao Bai himself said, as long as Jiang Ran gave the order, even if it meant Xiao Bai's self-destruction, he would not hesitate in the slightest, and naturally he would not have any different thoughts because he was worried about being eliminated.

What does Xiaobai mean by resonance?
Could it be that Majik also possesses some kind of puppet-like characteristic, bestowed upon him by an evil god, just like Xiaobai?
If I lock him in the space, will there be any other effects?

This was the first time Jiang Ran had felt a headache after playing the game for so long.

They can't be killed, and they can't be let go.

More importantly, Majik had a very eerie feeling about him, especially after he suffered a fatal wound, which gave Jiang Ran a kind of dark and gloomy feeling that he was actually looking forward to.

Adding to the strange feelings Xiaobai mentioned, Jiang Ran decided not to try to kill the man again until she figured out what kind of modifications the evil god summoned by Majik had made to him.

Whether they are so-called gods or evil gods, they all possess some uncontrollable mysterious attributes, and she was unwilling to take any more risks for them.

With this in mind, Jiang Ran, considering the static nature of the space, took out the safe house where Majik was imprisoned.

When the heavily guarded security door was opened, Majik was recovering from looking like a dead person.

Jiang Ran guessed that there was actually no air in the space, so living things couldn't survive. It simply preserved everything that was put in at the moment before it was placed in.

But for living creatures, it doesn't mean they are still alive.

Just like the large reservoir she collected, the aquatic products and freshwater delicacies inside maintained a "Schrödinger's life" state, always fresh, but once taken out, they were in a state of just dying.

For Majik, whose situation is unique, this might be considered a form of torture.

Unable to breathe yet unable to die, Jiang Ran didn't know what kind of torment this was, but seeing that the nauseating smile on Majik's face had completely disappeared, she could roughly guess.

Majik was unhappy, and Jiang Ran was happy.

She smiled and said, "Enjoying it? To make it even more enjoyable for you, I'll help you."

Majik didn't respond immediately, but instead followed his survival instincts and breathed heavily.

Jiang Ran didn't mind, took out the lucky dice, and rolled it precisely to two points: frozen.

Majik had no chance to speak again. Stiff, he was locked in the safe house by Jiang Ran and thrown into the space.

Jiang Ran wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to see a slight fear on Majik's face.

Summon the game panel; three slots at the bottom are already filled, but there are still many more empty ones.

Her gaze fell on the newly embedded Shenhuan Clan's notebook, guessing that it probably recorded the reason why Majik had become in this strange state.

She sighed softly: There are so many journals that need repairing; if only she could accumulate more faith points…

Thank you so much, Chenwu, for the monthly vote! (′｀)
