Chapter 270 The Missing Boyle
"It's a missing cruise ship that still can't tell what kind of monster exists!"
Shi Qi corrected the mistakes in Qin Ran's words.
Then, he told Qin Ran more detailed information.
"The Sunshine Mary sailed away from the east coast in June 875. Its original target was the port of Hollons on the west coast. The sailing time was about four and a half weeks, but it still did not appear in the fifth week. People who found something wrong began to look for it. It, but facing the sea, everything is useless.”
"The search lasted for about a year. In August 876, the government at that time announced that all 400 people on the Sunshine Mary, including all the people on board, were killed!"
"I read the newspaper materials left at that time - although the government at that time had announced that they had given up, these people had died, but the families of the missing people never gave up!"
"After that, this search continued for ten, twenty years, and no one knew."
"However, there is a piece of information recorded in the entertainment news. A certain psychic who was notorious at the time said that he met the crew and passengers on the Sunshine Mary, and they were suffering..."
"Of course, it turns out later that that guy is a liar!"
"It's different from you and Lei!"
Faced with Shi Qi's words, Qin Ran couldn't help shrugging.
Lei, of course, is a genuine psychic.
And he?
Although it can't be said to be fake, it can only be regarded as a little bit.
At the very least, he was able to see ghost-like creatures and resolve some of the events that resulted from them.
"Did it encounter any accident at that time?"
"You also know that the sea is always ruthless!"
Qin Ran didn't want to stay on this embarrassing topic for a long time, he asked for more information.
"There were no big storms and waves that month. It can be said that the wind and the sun are very suitable for appearance-in fact, this is also the reason why the Sunshine Mary sailed out of the port!"
"It's a luxurious cruise ship, dedicated to those wealthy people, it's impossible not to notice this!"
"As for the security above, according to the level at that time, both people and weapons are top-notch, so it is impossible to encounter pirates or something!"
Shi Qi said with certainty.
"All right!"
"Then can you tell me what it looks like again?"
"More than a hundred years have passed, and I am very curious how it has not sunk!"
Qin Ran continued to ask.
"I'm more curious than you!"
"A week ago, on the morning of Er999.10.28, this cruise ship appeared on the golden beach on the west coast!"
"The beach manager at the time took some staff aboard the Sunny Mary, and they never came back, and then Boyle and I showed up, and we..."
"etc!"
"You mean Boyle?"
Qin Ran interrupted Shi Qi's words.
"Yes!"
"After the five teenagers he took care of passed away due to backlash from casting spells, he joined my special operations team in order to divert attention—much easier to use than my original staff."
"In fact, I can still stay in the special operations team and serve as the team leader, and I am inseparable from Boyle!"
"Didn't Simmons and Jones tell you?"
Shi Qi asked.
"That's why I said that I need to take a good rest and catch up with everyone! Otherwise, I don't even know what happened!"
Qin Ran pretended to be helpless and sighed.
"But the problem is that Boyle is missing!"
"After boarding the Sunshine Mary with me, I passed out before I could do any search. When I woke up, I was already off the ship, but Boyle was nowhere to be found!"
"At the same time, I, including others, can no longer approach that ship!"
"An invisible force is blocking us. Bullets, explosives, and artillery are useless. Therefore, I need more professional people to help me return to the Sunshine Mary!"
"At least, I have to get my partner back!"
Shi Qi said solemnly.
"Boyle is missing?"
Qin Ran frowned.
Regarding Boyle, Kieran's general impression is still that he is a potion master who hides his identity, who entered Heqi cult with some purpose.
Other than that, he couldn't think of anything more.
However, this does not prevent him from accepting the side mission in front of him.
[Discover side mission: cruise ship shadow]
[Cruise ship ghosts: The Sunshine Mary, which disappeared without a trace 124 years ago, has appeared in people's sight again. No one knows what happened to it during that voyage, let alone what happened during the 124 years What! But Shi Qi asked for help, let you know that you must find Boyle! 】
(Note: If the secret of the Sunshine Mary can be found out, the customs clearance evaluation will be greatly increased)
...
"Significantly increase the customs clearance evaluation?"
Seeing this prompt, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
No matter which word he used, he felt that the Sunshine Mary was extraordinary.
According to the rules of the underground game, such a large additional increase is full of dangers.
Think about what he experienced to greatly increase the customs clearance evaluation.
Qin Ran sighed inwardly.
However, Kieran's curiosity rose uncontrollably.
"Hiding a secret?"
He murmured inwardly.
Fortunately, Qin Ran is not a person who disrupts the original plan because of curiosity.
Driving Simmons' pickup truck, Kieran drove into Ceylon Street.
Ceylon Street, nothing has changed from two years ago.
It is still a concentrated street of middle and low-income families.
The difference is that there are far fewer police officers on fixed-point patrols.
"Although I really don't want to say this, but because of the Curse Word Society, this place has become much safer than before. Any thief knows that the Curse Word Society cannot be messed with!"
As if seeing Qin Ran's doubts, Shi Qi explained with a sigh.
"However, I still thank you for killing them, including the 'Flame Dog', 'Muller Society' and the 'Siko Society' at the train station!"
"Because they will work hard to consolidate their rear, but they don't mind destroying the places where other organizations are located. In the past year, the accidental death rate on the West Coast has increased by 200%, and the crime rate has increased by 300%. I can assure you that the real number is higher than that!"
"It's just that it's all covered up by those guys who eat vegetarian meals!"
"And these maggots on the mysterious side are also very smart. They won't pick on real rich people and officials, and they are even willing to provide some services to these big shots..."
"Damn it!"
While talking, Shi Qi seemed to think of something, and cursed directly.
Looking at Shi Qi's appearance, Qin Ran guessed something.
As a big shot, there are always some things that cannot be solved by yourself, so if there is an extra 'chamber pot', that would be really great.
As for the "Xi Ke Association" that Shi Qi said?
Qin Ran's memory is still fresh.
It wasn't because the opponent was his first battle in this dungeon world, but because the opponent gave him a pretty good magic ring.
[Name: Ring of Puppet Illusion]
【Type: Jewelry】
[Quality: Magic]
[Attack Power: None]
[Defense: none]
[Attribute: puppet phantom]
[Special effects: none]
【Requirement: None】
[Whether this copy can be brought out: Yes]
[Remarks: True and false, foolishly confused! 】
...
[Puppet phantom: Create a puppet phantom within a radius of 10 meters that has no attack power, cannot move, and cannot communicate. upper limit of endurance); duration 10 seconds, 1 time/day]
...
The [Puppet Illusion Ring] worn on Qin Ran's left middle finger has a wooden feel, with some subtle black and swirling patterns, which looks very inconspicuous.
But the effect is outstanding.
In the previous battle at No. 1 Black Street, without the puppet illusion it created, even if Kieran could defeat those guys, it would definitely take a lot of effort.
After all, if the melee fighters could not be dealt with quickly and the spellcasters were allowed to complete the spell, Kieran would not be able to rely on [Prussian Armor] to fight it off.
squeak!
Amid the sound of loud brakes, the pickup truck stopped in front of the courtyard of a two-and-a-half-story building.
Shi Qi got off the pickup truck and stood quietly waiting for Qin Ran to come forward.
As the leader of the special operations team, Shi Qi, who has been in contact with mysterious incidents more than once, is very clear about the necessity of not messing with the belongings of any mysterious person.
This is especially true when entering the other party's house without warning.
Qin Ran smiled and stepped forward to check.
But when he saw some traces on the courtyard door, his expression changed.
Someone is one step ahead of them!
