Chapter 57 Passion and Fragments

It was getting dark soon.

The moon has risen, and the moonlight is bright and clear, as if a lover's hand is lingering.

In the silent night, without the hustle and bustle of the day, it brought a little bit of silence before falling asleep.

The oars were still moving, making a monotonous slapping sound as they slapped the water.

Occasionally, waves would turn up and wet the skirt of my clothes.

After dinner, most of the people went to sleep, Shen Yi went for a walk on the bow of the boat, enjoying the sea breeze.

"What are you thinking about?"

Looking back, Shen Yi's eyes brightened.

At this moment, Gentle is wearing a red dress in ancient costumes, which is the standard British aristocratic lady's clothing, with a wide hem and a tight waist. She also wears a lady's hat with a bird feather on her head. At first glance, I thought it was a noble lady from the sixteenth century standing here.

Glittering around her neck is the string of starlight necklaces, which emit charming starlight in the night, like stars in the night sky. Under the reflection of the necklace, Gentle looks more and more noble and charming.

"really not bad."

"Is it a nice person, a nice necklace, or a nice dress?" she asked with a gentle smile.

"It's all good. Elizabeth gave you the clothes?"

"The legacy of her missing home was given to me."

"Add attributes?"

Rourou crossed Xiaoman's waist very dissatisfied: "You are really disappointing, don't be so utilitarian, okay?"

Shen Yi laughed: "OK, OK, I admit my mistake. This dress is very beautiful. For women, beauty is the biggest enhancement. By the way, Bloody City has a skill called Charm, maybe you can learn it .”

"If you continue to focus everything on skills and strengthening, I'll throw you off the boat. Why can't you be more romantic?" Gentle pretended to be angry.

"Do you know what the essence of romance is? It's actually an act that looks beautiful but has no real meaning. It only exists among people who are full and have nothing to do. It reflects a certain kind of boredom through that flashy performance. personal feelings."

"...Then?" Rou Rou looked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi smiled and said: "In the cruel world, there is no room for the fragrant flower of romance. I can give you some sweet words, but that will not help you survive. Gentle, you haven't adapted to this new world psychologically. To measure our current environment by the standards of the past?"

Wen Rou was speechless for a moment, and after a while, she murmured: "Maybe because I am a woman, women always have illusions about life."

"It's a pity we don't live, or rather our life is fighting."

"I can see the truth, you don't need to remind me again and again."

"Just because you can see it doesn't mean you're willing to face it."

"Not everyone can face it as calmly as you. You are fearless about death because you have asked for death. For you, the society you see is dark and cruel. Therefore, although the bloody city is terrifying, it is You see the light. So you like the world because it is fair, even if it is cruel. For you who hate unfairness, this is very important. But not everyone has experienced your experience, so neither Maybe everyone doesn’t miss the old life.”

These words really touched Shen Yi's heart, and he was speechless for a while.

The two stood at the bow of the boat together, both wanted to say something, but suddenly they didn't know what to say, just watched the sea breeze and listened to the sound of the waves together.

A melodious singing sound suddenly came.

The rhythm is beautiful.

"It's Elizabeth." He whispered softly, never forgetting the voice: "What song is this, so familiar."

Shen Yi closed his eyes and listened to the singing, and after a while he smiled and said: "Elizabeth's voice is good, right? This is the song of pirates, a taboo song in the Caribbean."

"Ah!" Gently patted the forehead: "I said, why is it so familiar. The theme song of the Caribbean Sea, yes, this is the song."

As she spoke, she hummed the low and mournful ballad softly, which was far away from the singing of the Black Pearl.

The singing gradually spread farther and farther away, and there was a faint response from afar.

"Huh?" Rourou snorted slightly: "Someone is responding to the singing."

"It's pirates." Shen Yi replied: "When sailing at night, pirates distinguish each other through singing to avoid attacking their own people."

"So that's the case, what if we let outsiders learn it?"

"Their singing has its own unique rhythm, which represents a specific meaning. Others can't learn it, but you can remember all the sounds, and maybe you can learn it."

"what do you mean……"

"Don't you think we'll need a language that only we can understand?"

Ruan suddenly realized: "Yes, but inventing code words is not so easy."

"Why do we have to invent it? There is a language learning system in the city. Most people learn English, French, German, Russian and other common language families. If we learn a tribal language of a certain minority..."

Nodding gently and admiringly: "Why didn't I think of it, this is really a good solution, just a few dozen blood points can solve the problem. Except for the code words that almost no one of us can understand, yes, this is really a good idea."

"We still have too many things to pay attention to." Shen Yi said lightly.

"By the way." Rourou suddenly said: "Don't you think that the characters of Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth are too different from the original plot?"

"So you found out too." Shen Yi laughed.

From the very beginning when he came into contact with Jack Sparrow, Shen Yi felt that as a character in the plot, the other party was obviously different from the Jack Sparrow shown in the plot. At first he didn't take it seriously, but when he came into contact with Elizabeth, the change from this woman had to surprise him.

In addition, there is Norrington, who is also very different from the Norrington character in the original plot. This kind of thing has never happened before. Bloody City has modified the plot, modified the background, and even modified the character's ability, but never modified the character. But this time it did.

"King Kong also found out, but he thinks it's no big deal." Gentle replied.

Shen Yi shook his head: "That's not necessarily true."

"Why do you say that?"

"Remember when we used to liken Quest World to a remake of Blood City?"

"Yep."

Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "A real remake of an old movie should seek breakthroughs in terms of story, plot, and characters. Therefore, in the eyes of a screenwriter, the tension of the plot is the most important thing, and the logic issue is not important. ...that's why Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth can continue to be good people as pirates! Because the audience needs it! It doesn't matter if that makes sense. But in the world we're in now, this remake Does a play have an audience? No, it has no audience, it only has participants!"

In the mission world created by Bloody City, there are no spectators, only participants. In this case, any plot tension and characterization are all meaningless behaviors. It doesn't need to consider these, it just needs to create a difficult environment for adventurers to face. In other words, it can directly copy the characters in, without having to bother to modify the character of the characters.

But this time it just didn't do that.

It subverts the main tone of the Pirates of the Caribbean world, turning an otherwise light-hearted comedy into a truly dark killing drama. It modifies the image of Captain Jack in the original work, which does not conform to the temperament of real pirates, and makes him a real pirate. He is greedy, fierce, and a little arrogant.

It even turned Elizabeth, a woman who had a beautiful image in the plot and bravely pursued freedom and love, into a cunning and shrewd woman who is keen on the pirate career!

"I don't know why, but I know one thing: Bloody City will not do meaningless things."

"What could be the reason?" Gentle asked.

"I don't know. It may be due to the consideration of mission execution. For example, making Jack Sparrow more like a real pirate will increase the difficulty for us to contact him, although in my opinion, this difficulty does not exist; It may also be due to other needs. For example, only in this way is it more in line with this social background, which is a logical and humanistic need; it is also possible that the remake of Bloody City has an audience, for example, the city itself is the audience. For example, those space managers? They want to make the adventure more interesting?" Shen Yi replied while thinking: "A lot of things are not afraid of having no answers, but too many answers. I am not Kindaichi, I am not Holmes, I am not Conan, I can't To restore the truth of the facts through a single hair like them."

"Even if Holmes were here, he would not be able to find the answer. This is a world without laws, and we can no longer look at problems from the perspective of the earth. All the laws of physics, chemistry, and even mathematics are possible here. Overturned. Seeing new things with old eyes is bound to cause problems."

Shen Yi smiled: "This is the smartest thing I've heard you say, yes, that's it. However, the laws of science may not be able to adapt to any world, but philosophy can."

"Philosophy?" Rourou looked at Shen Yi with eyes wide open in surprise.

Shen Yi has already said slowly: "Existence is meaningful."

"Then what's the point of your actions now? You found out that the Bloody City did something meaningless, and then analyzed it, but couldn't draw any conclusions. What's the point?"

"Of course, I'm working on a puzzle." Shen Yi replied.

"puzzle?"

"Yes!" Shen Yi nodded with certainty: "This is a jigsaw puzzle. What exactly is the bloody city should be an ultimate mystery. It is like a big picture that has been broken into countless pieces. Every time we execute Quests are actually picking up fragments. As we perform more and more missions, we have more and more fragments in our hands, and the overall picture of the city that we can see becomes clearer... One day, sooner or later, we'll be able to put the picture together. Then it will all be clear."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi used a religious language to conclude: "When God bestows you with divine power, he also gives you the opportunity to touch him..."

The gentle eyes were a little blurred for a moment.

She chewed this sentence carefully, and finally understood what Shen Yi meant.

The conversation is automatically terminated at this point, and there is no need to continue. Before you know the real answer to many things, no matter how much inference you make, it is often very different from the truth. When you explain it all by a grand conspiracy or some elaborate plan, the truth may be the opposite. Instead of doing endless analysis on one fragment, it is better to seize the present and find more fragments.

But at that time, Shen Yi and Ruan both ignored one thing.

That is to put together a map, although it is necessary to collect all the fragments, but to understand a map, not all the fragments are needed, only a part can be seen. If you want to make use of this picture, maybe a few small pieces are enough—just like in a war, you can never expect to get all the information of the enemy. Having a single piece of information and careful analysis is enough. Enough to take action, and if you're lucky, you might even create a great victory.

Even Shen Yi himself didn't think about what his casual gossip at this moment and his little knowledge of the city would bring him in the future...

Not far away, several large ships appeared indistinctly, brushing the side of the caravan and leaving.

With the Black Pearl around, no pirates would take the initiative to attack Shen Yi and the others—this is not good news, the Broken Blade team lost the chance to score points.

But Shen Yi was not in a hurry, the nine pirate kings, except for Jack Sparrow and Barbosa who were allies, the other seven were targets. Catching anyone is a big deal. As long as you complete Tia Doma's commission, you will also complete the main task by the way.

Under the guidance of the singing, the fleet went away.

Rourou suddenly smiled and said, "If Hong Lang was here, he would definitely shout: We have lost a lot of blood points."

Shen Yi also laughed: "That impulsive and irritable guy, I don't think he can get rid of this problem in his life. If Bloody City has the ability to calm down, I will be the first to recommend it to him..."

"Then what about you, when will you be impulsive?" Rourou said suddenly.

Shen Yi was stunned, and the gentle body had already been thrown into his arms.

She lay on Shen Yi's chest, listening to his heartbeat, she said: "You have something on your mind."

"……nothing."

"Really? Then you hug me."

After a little hesitation, Shen Yi finally hugged Wen Rou.

Rourou didn't say a word, just quietly prostrated in Shen Yi's arms, after a long while, she suddenly said: "Seventy-two heartbeats."

"En?" Shen Yi was taken aback.

Lying in Shen Yi's arms, he said gently and softly: "If you are not preoccupied by something more important, it can only be explained that my temptation is not as great as you imagined, and it is even difficult to make your heart beat slightly faster... "

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, only then did he understand what Ruan was doing. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Fool."

Gently holding up the gentle face, under the moonlight, a charming face is quietly looking forward to something.

Shen Yi kissed her down, and what she got was a gentle and warm response.

This pair of men and women are hugging each other tightly on the boat at this moment, Shen Yi's hands are moving up and down gently, trying to find a gap to get in, but this 16th century costume is like a piece of armor, it fits perfectly He didn't give anyone the slightest opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Damn it!" Shen Yi muttered, and then his mouth was blocked by Wen Rou again.

His hand rested on the gentle breast, and he barely squeezed out a few words: "Shall we go to your room?"

Gentle red lips fell on Shen Yi's face, panting: "Are you in a hurry? Want it?"

"You should listen to my heartbeat again, it is estimated to be one hundred and seventy-two now."

Rourou giggled, she put her hand through Shen Yi's coat and placed it on his chest, feeling the powerful beating of his heart.

Then, she bit down hard on Shen Yi's chest, leaving a row of deep tiny tooth marks on it.

Then she looked at Shen Yi, with infinite charm in her eyes.

She pushed Shen Yi down on the deck, and whispered into his ear: "It's right here!"

"It's here?" Shen Yi was a little surprised.

Gentle and serious nod.

"Won't you back down again?"

Gently shook his head.

The night blocked the blush that flew up on his face, and gently stretched his hand behind his back, pulling away the tied string.

As the large patch of red faded, the other party's healthy and seductive snow-colored skin was revealed. Under the moonlight, it was especially thought-provoking.

Shen Yi's hand slid along Gentle's cool back, as if stroking a piece of silky satin, it stayed on the plump buttocks below, and then moved forward.

The gentle body tensed slightly, instinctively wanting to stop it, but let Shen Yi's hand drive straight in. Fingers entered the hidden area, but before they moved, they had already pulled up the string of desire. Gentle only felt a primitive fiery impulse pervading deep in his heart, boiling his whole body.

She has decided to let go of her arms and accept the invasion from Shen Yi.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Is this the tertiary film you mentioned?"

As if they were electrocuted, the two jumped up at the same time.

Gentle waved her right hand, and the long skirt had already wrapped her body. She swung the long whip back with her left hand, wrapped around something and pulled it back.

It was that nasty Destiny Parrot.

It yelled angrily: "Let go!"

At the same time, Shen Yi's spirit gun had already pointed at a corner in the darkness, and his tone was cold: "Come out."

A figure rushed past in the darkness, and then came the fat man's voice: "I didn't see anything, and I didn't say anything..."

Disappear.

The fat man slipped away.

The parrot was so angry that he cursed: "No loyalty! No loyalty!".

Shen Yi and Wen Rou looked at each other, and suddenly they both burst out laughing at the same time.

"Then...we...continue?" Shen Yi looked at Wenrou hesitantly.

Gentlely shook his head.

Shen Yi sighed.

After being interrupted like this, both of them lost their interest.

"I told you I should go to the cabin." He muttered in a low voice, his expression at this moment was like that of a child.

With a gentle smile, he sent the parrot to Shen Yi's hand: "Wait until I get interested again, or next time you take the initiative."

As she said that, she quickly flashed into the cabin.

Watching her disappearing back, Shen Yi savored the words just now: "When I take the initiative next time..."

He couldn't help but laugh.

"I said, can you let me go?" The parrot in his hand fluttered its wings and said very dissatisfied: "Actually, I didn't see anything. It was a failed performance."

"If you talk too much, I'll stuff you into my crotch and let you stay with my bird. Then you may understand that a really good bird only works and doesn't talk nonsense."

"Are you saying that Grandpa should have just watched silently without saying a word?"

"...No, I mean your job is to bring us good luck, not to destroy other people's good things that are going to happen. And from your behavior just now, you feel like a parrot that can only bring good luck to others ?"

"Oh, it depends on what you really want?" The parrot replied boldly.

Shen Yi froze for a moment, and slightly let go of the parrot's hand. The Destiny Parrot took the opportunity to break free, spun around Shen Yi's head, and shouted: "My master is not you now. But for my current master, True luck can only be found in a safe and rewarding battle, not in a night with some beautiful woman!"

Said it spread its wings and flew away.

Shen Yi's heart twitched slightly, and suddenly he looked back, only to see a hazy giant shadow looming on the sea in the distance.

The pirate song sounded again.

Sao Feng is here!
