MTL - Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit-Chapter 271 Increased quest progress, items missing from the vault

  Chapter 271 Mission progress increased, items lost in treasury

  On the evening of October 7th, the thirteenth cycle, World of Endless Sea.

  The main tower of Storm's End, in the governor's office.

  In the evening, the warm golden sun shines through the tall and long retro windows, forming beams of light in the air, with tiny floating ups and downs flying inside.

  Floating and sinking was flying in the rich warm sun, dyeing everything in the office golden.

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

   Opposite the bookshelf is a huge half-person-high globe, next to the globe is the sand table of the endless sea, the sand table of Storm Island, and various maps and charts on the wall...

  At this moment, they all seem to have been filtered, and they become warm and harmonious.

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

   On the other side, in front of the governor's desk, Li Feng was looking at the file of the interrogation of the player, which showed that the person who performed the interrogation was Marthas.

  Person on trial: Pete Bell

  Occupation: Windrest Oyster Vendor

  Reason for trial: Stealing a first-level secret treasure, violently resisting and hurting others after being discovered, showing strength that is opposite to that of a thin body, suspected to have awakened extraordinary.

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

  Interrogator: Marthas

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

  He claimed that someone was going to hunt him down, and he had to be promoted to Extraordinary to protect himself.

  I told him that we have a lot of preferential treatment for awakened supernatural beings, and he seemed relieved a lot.

  Then I asked Bell who was going to hunt him down. Bell said it was a Blessed One, and he said he saw it with his own eyes.

  I doubt this, because it is unreasonable for the Blessed of the Abyss to hunt down and kill a quasi-transcendent, because the benefits are minimal.

  Under my persecution, Bell told me that the abyss favored one had a mission.

   It was the word "task" again, I asked him who gave the task, but at this moment, Bell began to keep silent, even though I used some punishment on him.

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

   When Bell heard me ask this, he had a visibly nervous expression.

   At first, he refused to admit that he spoke those languages.

  But when I took the police records and read out the strange syllables recorded by the police, Bell became terrified. He seemed to have finally realized the problem, but he remained silent.

  Afterwards, I tortured him once, unable to bear the torment of his soul, Bell finally spoke.

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

  He said that he just wanted to play a game at first, and he applied for the qualification to play the game, and then he came to the endless sea and became another person.

  I don't really understand the game he said, and the meaning of game qualification.

  The game Bell mentioned seems to be very complicated, and it is different from what I understand, the games played by children.

   After that, I asked him about the other world.

   Judging from his description, he is similar to the previous players, and he also said some things that people can't understand.

   And based on my investigation of their identities, I found that Bell and the previous interrogates did not know each other, nor did they have any intersection in life.

  After that, when I wanted to ask him the most important point, 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 also went crazy. After half an hour, he became stupid.

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

   If once violated, the curse will be triggered.

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

  So, at the moment, I'm not sure what curse they were put on, and who put the curse on them.

  Finally, through Bell's soul, I confirmed that there was no possibility for him to wake up, and ended his life.

   Trial time: August 2.

   'August 2nd...'

  The sun slanted from the west, adding a layer of warm color to Li Feng's black formal suit, and also brightly illuminated the interrogation record in his hand.

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

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

  ‘ is still very primitive and requires a certain serendipity approach. '

   Even so, Storm's End still has a lot of information about players.

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

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

   Then he discovered that besides Storm's End who were arresting players, the governors of other islands were also arresting players.

   And they're sharing information.

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

   Explorer.

   Li Feng:!

  Time seemed to freeze for a second.

  'Explorer? Are there any players related to the Explorer? '

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

   First of all, according to the sun emblem on that page and the first line of marking, Li Feng knew that this was a document sent from the Governor's Mansion of Guanghui Island.

   Unlike recording the interrogation of other players, this page only records an event that happened a few months ago, which they later thought was related to the player.

  The protagonist of the incident is a sailor, a native of Sun City on Guanghui Island, who worked on the passenger ship Discovery during his lifetime, and his name is Harvey.

   According to the records, in June this year, Harvey, who went out to sea with the Explorer, went ashore and returned to his home in Sun City on Guanghui Island, and then he began to become abnormal.

  Every night, he will speak some languages ​​that people cannot understand, and do various weird or dangerous actions like a mental disorder.

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

  The brother and sister-in-law who lived with Harvey thought that he must be sick, so they sent him to the doctor to cure his hysteria.

   When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor on Guanghui Island believed that Harvey had a mental problem.

   But after some treatment, whether it was bloodletting, potions, or even supernatural methods, Harvey didn't get better.

  After that, finally on the night of July 1st, the out-of-control Harvey touched the knife and ended his life.

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

  Because Harvey spoke an unknown language incomprehensible at night, he suspected that Harvey was also a player.

  So when the governors of the islands discovered the presence of players at the end of July and the beginning of August, some people remembered the dead Harvey and recorded his various facts in the investigation report.

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

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

  But this does not mean that Harvey has no problems.

  Fingers across July 1st, the date Harvey committed suicide.

   And Li Feng also clearly remembered that July 1st was the date when he crossed into the game, and it was also the date when the Discovery was shipwrecked and sank.

  'So there may be something on the Discovery, and its sinking, it seems that it should not be as simple as a shipwreck. '

   I also thought of the investigation of the Black and White Institute. The Discovery was related to a fire-worshiping cult, and also related to the mysterious person who robbed the Brilliant Vault.

   According to the system tasks, it is also known that the mysterious person is a player who smuggled in from Nova.

   As for Nova, that world only has the last two months.

  'So, I want to check the new star, and the Zoroastrianism. '

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

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

   Knowing that Xi Ya came over with tea, Li Feng was about to close the document.

  However, when he touched the footer of the page with his hand across the paper, he found that the footer of the Harvey page he was looking at just now had been folded.

   Touching the creases, Li Feng felt a chill in his heart. No wonder the stack of documents is so thick. He casually flipped through it just now, and it just happened to stop at this night.

   It turned out that it was marked before.

   But...who could it be?

  The aroma of the tea became stronger and stronger, and countless thoughts passed through Li Feng's mind in a blink of an eye.

  In this stack of documents, Harvey's speculative matter alone has nothing to note compared with other records of the actual interrogation of players.

  Penrose Fell has no reason to fold a neat footer here, and Sia...

  Investigating players has been a few months ago. It stands to reason that this kind of file should be pressed in a corner instead of spread out on the desktop.

  So, Shia must have known about the existence of the player.

  ‘But why did she mark Harvey’s page again…’

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

  ‘That’s right, I told Shia once that the ship I was on was called Discovery, and it was Harvey’s sailor.

  Besides, it was the governor's office that Shia brought me to just now, did she already know something, or was she hinting at something? '

  Li Feng followed his guesses, and then remembered that Xi Ya knew that Rhine was a pseudonym, so she just deliberately disappeared in front of Huang Yanyan just now?

   Did she really guess something?

   "What are you looking at?"

  When Li Feng was feeling startled, Xi Ya came over, and she put a beautifully crafted silver tea tray carved with camellias on the table, and on the tea tray were two bone china teacups filled with tea.

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

   Li Feng looked as usual, he lightly lifted the document in his hand, no matter what the facts were, he didn't intend to hide it.

   Seeing this, Xi Ya turned her golden eyes on Li Feng's face, then she laughed, took the stack of documents in Li Feng's hand, threw it aside, and handed over the prepared tea.

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

  Sitting on the velvet sofa by the window with Li Feng, Xi Ya talked about Guanghui Island.

   "I heard Chen Xing talk about the mysterious man from Glory Island."

   Li Feng replied that he had heard from Huang Yanyan about the mysterious man robbing the Guanghui Treasury.

   "Did the mysterious man steal anything?"

   Li Feng asked casually, his system task was to let him investigate the truth about the robbery by the mysterious person.

  Shea shook her head lightly:

   "I heard that something was indeed missing, but Governor Lloyd intended to keep it secret, so no one knows what was missing."

  'The same news that Yanyan got. '

  Li Feng nodded. He didn't expect to report anything at first. After all, it was a system task, so how could it be so easy to do.

  But at this moment, Shia smiled slyly:

   "No one knows what is missing, except me."

  Seeing that Li Feng was surprised when he heard this, Xi Ya couldn't hide her satisfaction from bending her eyebrows:

   "Actually, you and I have heard of the thing that the mysterious man stole, and even got its imitation. Do you still remember the cinnabar cup in the Theater of Sorrow?"

   "Cinnabar Cup?"

  Hearing this, Li Feng was really shocked.

   Recall that in the performance on the first floor of the Theater of Sorrows, the cinnabar cup was born by a woman in a hut in a secluded deep forest.

   Moreover, for the smooth birth of the cinnabar cup, two people killed themselves alive.

   "Yes, I got the news from Haishi."

  Sia explains her sources.

   Li Feng also remembered after hearing this. After killing Penrose Fell, he asked Haizan to let the trolls manage the sea market well.

   While thinking about various details, Li Feng's system suddenly prompted a message:

  【Your mission progress increased by 50%】

  【Mission: Investigate the items lost in the Brilliant Vault】

  【Mission progress: 50%】

  【Mission description: The player who sneaked in from Nova stole the cinnabar cup sealed in the Guanghui vault, and tried to find a way to investigate the follow-up truth of the matter. 】

  【Task Reward: Memory of ‘You’. 】

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

  'The task responded, it seems that it is indeed a cinnabar cup. '

  Li Feng thought for a moment, because of the relationship between Haishi and Xiya, he learned that the thing that the new star player took away was the cinnabar cup.

  But the task requirement is to investigate the truth of the incident, so it seems that the specific purpose of the new star player stealing the cinnabar cup should also be investigated.

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

  Li Feng took out the props of the cinnabar cup that he had obtained in the Theater of Sorrow. He looked at it carefully and couldn't help asking:

   "So what is the origin of the cinnabar cup? It won't be related to the mother of gargoyles, right?"

  Recalling the mother of gargoyles captured alive by trolls after the Theater of Sorrows collapsed, Li Feng felt that the cat monster must still be cute.

   "I think, you should ask who is the servant of the Gargoyle Mother."

   Seeing Li Feng's troubled look, Xi Ya found it rare. Under the golden sunlight, Xi Ya blinked and smiled.

"who is it?"

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

   "It's the Lava Lord."

  Shia replied seriously:

  "From a very long time ago, the master served by the Gargoyle Mother is the Lava Lord".

   "Lava Lord?"

   Li Feng knew it, but he didn't expect to come back to the Lava Lord after going around in circles.

  However, since it is the lava lord...

   This kind of creature can fish out a godhead contaminated by filth, and exchange it for 200 points of godhead fusion at one time.

  Li Feng suddenly became interested in Explorer, Guanghui Island, Cinnabar Cup, and Nova.
