Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 88 Pirates: Ha, so this is all there is to it, except for the undead?

"Who are you?!"

The man's angry and alarmed voice echoed throughout the captain's cabin.

Just moments ago, he had watched as a painting hanging on the captain's cabin wall suddenly flashed with a bright light.

The next second, a figure clad in full black armor suddenly appeared in front of him.

This made the man internally curse those crazy people from the Aurora Club. Didn't they promise that there would be absolutely no problems?!

Yu Jin heard the man's stern question and looked in the direction of the voice.

Before him stood a middle-aged man wearing a tricorn hat and a black eye patch, perfectly matching Ember's stereotypical image of a pirate captain.

At this very moment, he was staring at him with a face full of shock and anger through his single, remaining eye.

"Where am I?"

Ember glanced at the captain's cabin and asked in Rune.

"Bang!"

"captain!"

The captain's cabin door was kicked open, and a large number of pirates poured into the room, wielding various weapons and staring at Ember with hostile expressions.

"Kill him!"

The captain, wearing a tricorn hat, shouted sternly.

He didn't care where the man came from or whose side he belonged to.

But since he dares to show up here, he's courting death!

Upon hearing their captain's command, the other pirates immediately charged towards Ember with howls.

With over a hundred pirates on board, do you think they can't defeat one of them?!

The advantage lies with me!

"Chop him up!"

Yu Jin looked at the pirates with ferocious expressions and sighed softly.

He only wanted to ask where he was.

But he's always been shy, so how could he refuse when the other party was being so enthusiastic?

That makes sense.

We don't need that many people to ask questions.

Just leave one alive.

"puff!"

The wielding black knight's greatsword severed a pirate at the waist, and with undiminished momentum, smashed into the bodies of three more pirates, scattering blood and flesh across the deck.

The remaining pirates trembled.

They suddenly realized that they might have touched a raw nerve.

"This idea is tricky! We're serious!"

A shirtless, burly pirate with a fierce-looking face roared angrily.

Reaching up to touch the top of her head, she took off her hair clip—

It was a magical artifact that he had stolen from a noblewoman.

However, he didn't even have a chance to use the power of this magical item.

The black knight's greatsword, wielded with a gust of wind, tore his head apart, and blood splattered like a fountain onto the faces of the other pirates.

The captain, wearing a tricorn hat, suddenly narrowed his pupils.

Because the one who just died was his first mate, a Sequence 7 Extraordinary.

Moreover, he is an extraordinary warrior known for his physical strength!

In terms of force alone, I'm afraid even I wouldn't be his match.

But now his head has been smashed open with a sword, leaving him no chance to fight back.

"Wait! Wait a minute, I..."

The captain finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly tried to make peace.

However, the next second, Ember charged forward wielding the Black Knight Greatsword.

It was just a fleeting moment.

He didn't even have a chance to resist; he only felt a sharp pain in his lower back and abdomen.

The next second, his perspective began to spin.

His upper body seemed to fly out, and he saw his lower body.

"Bang!"

The captain's body fell to the ground without causing a ripple.

But the pirates were finally terrified, realizing they had provoked an enemy they shouldn't have.

They desperately wanted to escape, but they couldn't.

Because they had just squeezed into the cramped captain's cabin, they would have to squeeze out all over again if they wanted to get out.

But the embers wouldn't give them that chance.

He wasn't actually good at using a greatsword.

But this narrow and crowded environment is the perfect place to wield the greatsword!

"Snapped!"

This reminded him of the joyful times he spent fighting the Bishops of the Deep back in the day.

That was the easiest boss he had ever fought, even easier than Bordeaux under his crotch.

The pirates before him reminded him of his past.

There were hardly any survivors left on the ship.

They had become corpses covering the deck, as if the entire ship had been stained red with blood.

A small piece of meat mixed in was not noticeable at all.

Not at all.

"Clang!"

"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer."

Ember raised the Black Knight's Greatsword and held it to the head of the last surviving pirate. "Understand?"

"..."

The pirate seemed stunned, tripping over his companion's corpse as he retreated, falling face-first onto the mangled body. He remained unresponsive to Ember's questions.

"Where am I?"

When asked by Ember, the pirate opened his mouth, but just as Ember thought he was about to say something, saliva dripped from his mouth.

This gave Yu Jin a sudden sense of foreboding.

"What's your name?"

"Aba aba aba..."

"..."

Yu Jin remained silent for a long time before suddenly realizing that he might have left the wrong person alive.

In the end, he deliberately spared a fool.

While the "Eye of Wisdom" allows him to converse fluently with others in various languages ​​without any obstacles, it is clearly not yet capable of allowing him to converse with an idiot.

Of course, it's also possible that he scared her silly.

If that's the case, giving the other party time to slow down might still give us a chance...

Just as Yu Jin was thinking this, he heard a "snap" sound, and the pirate's head suddenly exploded in front of him.

"..."

Ember fell completely silent, looking at the pile of meat on the floor of the captain's cabin.

They tried to find someone still breathing inside to ask for help.

But the reality is cruel.

He couldn't even find a complete corpse.

"Clatter!"

After passing through the deck covered with the mangled corpses and blood of the pirates, Ember returned to the captain's cabin.

The captain's cabin had long been destroyed in the battle, leaving only broken limbs and ruins.

But on the wooden wall that was only half intact, a painting the size of a human head remained undamaged.

That's a corner of the world of painting.

But it was completely different from Mr. A's basement.

Mr. A's basement was only the size of a palm, and it was a one-way street.

The current situation is one where one can only exit but not enter.

but……

"..."

The embers gently stroked the surface of the painting, but no miracle occurred.

It gave no response, as if it were just an ordinary oil painting.

the reason is simple.

The embers were kicked out by the master of the painting world.

He was certain that the other party was a deity in person.

Unfortunately, his understanding of this deity was far from sufficient, and the Fog Gate was far from taking shape.

They were incredibly lucky to escape unscathed.

Otherwise, this deity could have burned for a very long time.

However, compared to his complete ignorance, the other party clearly had some understanding of him, and even thoughtfully blocked his way completely in the end.

This has caused even the corner of his painted world to lose its function as an 'exit'.

Ember raised his head and looked into the distance through the destroyed wall—

All around was an endless expanse of azure sea.

There wasn't even an island in sight; there were no landmarks whatsoever.

This made it impossible for him to discern his own location.

"..."

The embers remained silent.

He can't go back to the world of painting, and he doesn't know where he is now.

This means that

He was trapped, trapped on this boundless sea.

silence.

Silence remained, nothing more.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Yu Jin looked at the pirates' corpses, filled with remorse.

These pirates are despicable!

They were determined to trap him at sea, even at the cost of their lives!

PS: Explaining a few issues.

1. Was writing about Dark Souls a deliberate attempt to ride the wave of popularity?

As we all know, Mystery is a niche genre, and Dark Souls is even more niche.

If you simply write fanfiction about the Mysterious, all the readers who have read Mysterious are potential audiences.

The same principle applies to writing Dark Souls fanfiction; players who have played the Souls series are potential audiences.

However, if you write a dual fanfic combining Mystery and Dark Souls, a problem is inevitable.

That means basically only people who have read Mystery and played Dark Souls will read this book.

Otherwise, other people won't understand it either, and they won't even be interested in clicking in!

So even if you get on the Sanjiang list, you only get 400+ favorites a day, while others get at least 2000+.

What are you trying to ride the wave of?

Although this book is fan fiction, it is actually a niche within a niche!

This is a very simple and obvious principle!

2. Why were the comments deleted?

First of all, the deletion of comments made before October 20th is basically none of my business.

Secondly, a significant number of comments were indeed deleted after October 20th.

Because the increase in collection value remains basically unchanged, it's 400+ per day.

As a result, the number of people using the "Daily Drug Delivery" service increased.

I know that a book can never satisfy everyone's taste, and it's normal for some people to criticize it.

But at least post a chapter review, not a book review!

If you don't post a single chapter review and instead immediately post a book review titled "Daily Guide to Poisoning," then I can only suspect that you're a paid shill.

And it just so happens that at this particular time—

It just so happens that this book made it onto the new book charts and was listed on the Sanjiang list.

So don't blame me if your comments get deleted.

Yes, of course, comments that have been deleted can't be seen now.

that's it.
