The skeleton gentleman waved to the crowd from a distance.
It's like a farewell between lovers. It's meaningful.
How is that possible?
unscientific!
Tiramisu's hands trembled as he gripped the sniper gun.
She can be sure that she is absolutely accurate. After all, she with rich experience can never aim at the wrong position.
There is no reason, nor should it.
Tiramisu, after a moment of consternation, burst into anger, threw everything out of his mind, and without saying a word, shot out the second bullet.
Bang!
Another golden bullet was fired.
Hiss!
Next to the skeleton gentleman, a piece of gravel splashed on the floor, which was a sign that the bullet had fallen.
Third!
Bang!
Fourth!
Bang!
No one knows why tiramisu's deep V can hide so many sharp sniper shells.
But all the navies looked at admiral tiramisu, who had no false hair in their eyes. Like a shrew, they took out one bullet after another from their clothes, loaded and fired madly, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping at all.
Ding Ding Ding——
Hollow shells landed one after another.
"He's gone."
Irene kept looking at the end of the street with a telescope until there was no one or any dog at the end of Victoria Avenue. Then she put down the telescope and said slowly.
Tiramisu: "
Tiramisu is worthy of the rank of general. Such a strange thing happened to him, but he soon calmed down.
Seeing that the legendary Pirate Skeleton gentleman who mastered the "black witchcraft" completely disappeared from the public's sight, tiramisu slowly put down his gun with a black face and a somewhat ferocious expression, but it was also very beautiful.
Gu Tianqing looks behind Elizabeth Lin from time to time.
"Search!"
Tiramisu shook his sniper gun and looked expressionless. In a burst of light and sound of gear running in, the exquisite and domineering golden sniper gun was transformed into a long and narrow smoke rod again, which was very magical.
Although Yilin is very interested in the deformed high-tech sniper gun in tiramisu's hand, he can't do anything bad in full view of the public. He can only resolutely suppress this idea and have a chance to say it again.
After quietly sending a string of messages to Wang Tiandi, without waiting for Gouzi's reply, Yilin followed the Navy team and thoroughly searched Victoria Avenue.
No accident, tiramisu went directly to the position where the skeleton gentleman stood not long ago.
On the ground, several bullet holes were left. The powerful sniper bullet had long been trapped in the slate and was difficult to pull out.
Under the command of tiramisu, all the navies spread around Victoria Avenue and searched thoroughly.
Tonight, destined to sleep all night.
When Yilin returned to Swann castle, a trace of fish belly White had lit up in the sky.
Tiramisu didn't even ask about Elizabeth Lin's departure, because all her attention was focused on searching for the damn pirate. Tiramisu didn't care where the governor's fiancee wanted to go.
Before Yilin left, Gu Tianqing just smiled and whispered, "please pay attention to safety, beautiful lady", and didn't say anything else.
This makes Yilin's vigilance to Gu Tianqing deepen a bit.
Gu Tianqing... Seems to be a more sinister figure than Yilin imagined.
Doubt?
Yilin can confirm that Gu Tianqing will still doubt Yilin even if he comes out tonight.
After all, no apostle is really weak at this level, and there will always be something better.
"Hehe, it's more and more interesting."
Yilin repressed the sudden excitement at the bottom of her heart, then opened it like a shadow, slipped into the room, and locked the door with her backhand.
And in the girl's boudoir.
Ruth was about to take off her "skeleton gentleman" dress and change into a black-and-white Maid Dress.
Seeing that Yilin slipped in and locked the door, Ruth immediately wrapped it up and blushed.
"Acridine! Lin! Tonight is really too, too, too exciting!"
The dog lay on one side and yawned lazily.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Yilin looked at Ruth with a wrong expression and picked her up. The whole set of krypton gold appearance equipment of "skeleton gentleman" was carded in the twinkling of an eye. When Ruth reacted that she was instantly stripped of her underwear, Yilin had included the "skeleton gentleman appearance suit" into the storage space.
"Fuck! Lin, how can you be so skilled!"
Ruth subconsciously covered the top, thought about it, covered the bottom again, thought for a moment, simply opened her arms, put on pose, and showed her charming figure in front of Yilin.
"Get dressed quickly."
Yilin took a slight puff from the corner of his eye and seriously reminded him.
Ruth now knew that once Yilin spoke in this tone, it was not a good time to joke, so she dressed like a maid.
While Ruth didn't move, Erin sat in bed and thought about what happened tonight.
Mysterious governor, governor's house, infrared induction, password elevator, underground secrets of governor's house, transactions with Calypso, demon king, strange weapons of tiramisu, strange technology tree.
Clues, fragments and conjectures are rearranged in Yilin's brain, and then useful content is extracted from these messy intelligence like pulling a silk cocoon.
"Outsiders..."
Suddenly.
Irene remembered what Calypso called him in that hurricane.
"By the way, Ruth."
"Hmm? Do you need a massage, my captain?"
Ruth immediately changed herself from a maid to an exclusive masseur.
"... OK."
So they posed and began to buff.
After all, the gain state is really important.
Bedside.
The dog put his paws over his eyes.
"Comfortable, my captain?"
"Well..."
"My dear captain, when will you blow up the governor's house again?"
Ruth was a little excited when she thought of her experience tonight.
“……”
The massage is over.
Irene looked at the new buff on the Apostle's panel and was refreshed.
He knocked on the floor in front of the dog. The dog raised his eyelids and looked a little unhappy. It seemed that he was protesting that Yilin disturbed the dog's adult's eyes.
"Next, according to the normal development, the Navy will vigorously search the whole city for the whereabouts of skeleton gentlemen these days. Well, there is also a dog."
Wang Tiandi: "Wang."
The dog said he understood.
Yilin continued: "since that guy is a senior adviser to the Navy, we must prevent him from putting forward some bad ideas to the Navy, such as... Searching swan castle. Therefore, you who have been exposed must not be exposed to anyone these days."
Although all the people in Swann Castle know that Elizabeth Lin has brought a dog back, all the ladies in London seem to have the habit of raising some pets to improve their strength, which is not a big problem for Irene.
If there's no evidence, it's not a car.
Moreover, the Navy wants to find skeleton gentlemen more than dogs.
This evening, originally, Yilin wanted to see if there was a chance to force the mysterious governor out of the chaos, lure the tiger away from the mountain, return to the governor's house, and enter the bottom of the elevator to find out.
As for the sniper gun beyond the scope of science and technology in the world, Yilin's accident made the trend of things more strange.
From the beginning, Yilin prepared a [bullet deflection] for Gouzi in advance to prevent Ruth from being surrounded by the Navy, so that Gouzi could shoot [bullet deflection] on Ruth at the critical moment to avoid Ruth being killed by the Navy's bullet.
Although there are many differences between the development of things and Yilin's initial assumption, Yilin also found more oddities in the plot mode.
In general, there are gains and losses.
Irene remembered the deal with Calypso again.
In the "Curse" column of the captain's panel, there was an additional item "Calypso's gaze", which made Yilin feel a little bad.
If Calypso's commission is not completed as agreed, some terrible consequences may occur.
Of course, Irene was not afraid. After all, it was just a curse.
But Irene didn't know how far Calypso, who called himself the "sea god", could reach.
know everything? be equal to anything?
Yilin smiled.
"If it's really so awesome, why entrust it to an ordinary human?"
"Outsiders? Oh."
In meditation, Yilin, who had been busy all night, also felt a little sleepy, so he lay directly in bed and gradually fell asleep.
The next day.
the sun is three poles high.
Yilin came to the governor's house in full dress again.
After last night's explosion, the open line of defense strength has been strengthened by several levels. The whole governor's house is surrounded by layers of guards, three inside and three outside.
Yilin stood in place and made a rough estimate for a while. Even if he opened the [shadow follows suit], under this defensive strength, it is impossible to sneak in without being found.
This can no longer be called a patrol. It is simply stationed here with heavy troops. There is no gap.
Yilin raised his head.
Looking at the roof of the governor's house.
Unless... From above.
Yilin showed his identity, but he was still blocked out of the siege.
"The governor has ordered that no one, not even the respected fiancee of the governor, will be received from now on."
With an apologetic look on his face, the leader of the small captain refused Yilin's request to see the governor.
The more he protected the governor, the more Irene felt that there was something fishy in it.
But in the current situation, Yilin is not easy to break through, so he can only give it up for the time being.
Moreover, he came to the governor's house for a stroll, but he took a look on the way. He didn't really have to see that "fiance" in a normal way.
In the communication panel.
After Yilin cancelled the "don't disturb" to Gu Tianqing, they didn't take the initiative to initiate a private chat, and became strangely silent, falling into a delicate state.
"The 'smoke bomb' is enough. If we continue, it will seem too deliberate."
Yilin soon twisted the small man's waist and left the governor's house.
The whole city of London was immersed in a tense atmosphere.
The streets were covered with wanted notices for "skeleton gentleman".
On the wanted notice, it was a man wearing an elegant tuxedo, a skull gentleman's hat and a "smiling face" mask.
——There was also a dog with a ferocious face and fangs.
The above reward is... 100000 pounds.
For a damn pirate, this is undoubtedly a sky high reward.
But when Yilin saw this reward order made again all night, he almost couldn't help laughing.
The dog image on the wanted notice is as terrible as it is. It is a creature from hell, even the dog's background. It also uses an abstract method to paint a large dark shadow with black ink, adding a somewhat gloomy and mysterious atmosphere to the dog.
If you really want to find that stupid dog according to the image of this wanted notice, it's called hell.
Yilin held back his smile and left the place silently.
A day without words.
Until... Late at night.
In London.
Fog filled the air.
The moon is dark and cool.
In Swann castle, two women in disguise sneaked out.
Straight to the slums.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Erin and Ruth simply dressed up, looked less conspicuous, and shuttled through the narrow alley.
Corruption, oil stain, moss.
Crawling cockroaches, happy jumping mice, crisscross ditches, sewage completely untreated, emitting a stench in the sewer.
There is a smell of poverty everywhere. Compared with the luxurious urban area, it is as different as the world at a glance.
In the slums, there is not even a guard. It seems that in London, it belongs to a dirty corner that even the royal guards don't want to patronize.
"This is obviously a good place for Tibetans. Why don't you search here and on the street?"
When Yilin saw it, he felt a little funny.
Ruth shrugged helplessly: "who knows, maybe those guys think that the elegant captain is not willing to hide in such a ghost place."
Yilin was speechless.
In his opinion, it is more likely that tiramisu issued a search order for the whole city on the ground, but the guards below clearly knew that there was such a place in London, but they did not want to search here because it was too dirty and messy. They pretended to be diligent and shed sweat and tears on the streets of London, which is a typical bureaucratic style.
Can leaders working in slums see it?
It's useless!
It's better to sweat in the hot sun on the street and get the appreciation of the upper class.
Yilin soon understood the secret.
In addition to cockroaches and mice, the narrow alley is also full of stinking poor people.
Many flies and mosquitoes, smelling the tempting smell of the poor, hovered over the piles of lying poor people.
Ruth frowned, took out a delicate little wet towel and covered her mouth and nose.
Yilin doesn't care. Anyway, he has experienced worse environment. This is just pediatrics. In addition to some discomfort, he doesn't lose blood and has nothing special.
In half an hour.
Ruth and Erin finally arrive at their destination.
"I suggest you put away the damn wet towel in your hand."
Yilin turned his head expressionless and reminded him.
Although Ruth was reluctant, under the serious threat of Yilin, she kneaded the small wet towel into a ball and threw it in the corner.
In front of them, there was a pile of messy garbage, piled into a hill, emitting an indescribable taste.
In the hill, there is a faint channel. There is no light. The dark channel is like the entrance to the devil's cave. It looks very scary.
Ruth whispered and waved to Yilin: "Captain, here!"
Yilin followed the sound.
On the ground Ruth pointed to, there was a simple skeleton pattern engraved.
Without hesitation, after Ruth pointed out the entrance, Yilin went straight into the garbage.
On both sides are garbage of various shapes. There is no classification. I don't know how much time it has accumulated here. There are even a lot of rotten food covered with white insects.
At this moment, Yilin finally understood why there were pirate gathering places hidden in the big city in such a big London.
As the saying goes, the big is hidden in the city and the small is hidden in the dirty.
This dirty place, let alone the Navy, would never be willing to come near it unless Yilin had a special purpose and no special reason.
The passage constructed by the garbage mountain tilts downward at an angle of about 30 degrees. After walking out for more than ten meters, the surrounding area gradually becomes a real wall, which is no longer composed of those garbage. Relatively speaking, it looks much cleaner.
And Ruth's frown was a little more relaxed.
Soon.
Bursts of slight vibration came from the front, mixed with noisy noise.
Take a few more steps.
The pungent and strong smell of rum gradually overshadowed the smell of corruption.
Finally.
It suddenly opened up.
The dim light ignited the darkness ahead.
Ruth explained in Irene's ear: "this place was said to be an underground warehouse used by nobles to hide treasures, but one day, the warehouse was patronized by pirates and cleaned up, and the nobles also declined. I don't know when this urban area has become a slum."
At the end of the light, there are two fan-shaped dilapidated wooden doors, which seem to fall down with a gentle pat.
Yilin stretched out his hand and pushed.
Pop.
The door was really smashed down and was horizontal in front of Yilin. It was like touching porcelain.
No, it's just touching porcelain.
"Hey, damn pirate, how dare you break the door of the 'gilded mud' and lose money!"
A dirty little hand stretched out from the darkness. At the same time, from behind the door panel, a face full of dirt came forward with a smile.
While asking for money, the dirty child seems to be looking at Yilin and Ruth, and there is a bit of doubt in his bright eyes.
Before Yilin spoke, Ruth was angry, pointed to the dirty child's nose and yelled: "Damn, I came yesterday. You didn't repair the damn door at all!"
The dirty child magically took out a small wooden card from behind.
It says a few words.
——"Damn pirates, welcome."
——"Wooden doors are expensive. Please compensate for the damage."
——"If you don't pay compensation, please be careful of rum. It may be poisonous."
——"Poisoned, worthy of death."
Yi Lin: "
Ruth: "
This is a naked threat.
And blackmail.
Yilin was curious: "did you pay yesterday?"
"Lost, but I didn't expect the style here to be more like pirates than us."
Ruth was helpless and wanted to take out some copper plates.
Suddenly.
In the dim light, the red shadow flashed between Yilin and the dirty child.
Pop pop.
Two bloody fingers fell to the ground. The two fingers seemed not to be aware that they had been cut off and were still twisting slightly.
The dirty child looked stunned.
Yilin smiled, cut off the child's two fingers, took out a brand-new gold coin and pressed it in the palm of the broken finger. In the twinkling of an eye, the gold coin was covered with blood.
"These two fingers are to give you a piece of advice."
"Some people can't touch casually."
"This gold coin is your compensation."
After leaving three words, Yilin took the stunned Ruth into the underground tavern.
"Go away and don't appear in front of pirates in the future."
The dirty child stared at the bloody gold coins in his palm until the two pirates, who did not look like pirates but were more cruel than any pirate, left and felt the sharp pain from the broken fingers. Then he bent his back, bit his lower lip, squatted on the ground, endured the pain and didn't let himself cry.
In a few minutes.
The pain eased slightly. The dirty child in rags stood up, clutching the gold coin in his mouth and muttering in a low voice: "damn pirate!"
Then he laughed foolishly again. He suddenly seemed to think of something. He hid the gold coins in his arms for fear of being stolen. When he saw that there was no one around, he left the channel safely.
Ruth was silent for a moment.
A few seconds later, he whispered, "some people can't touch it casually?"
Yilin couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the speech.
That's what Ruth's concerned about?
The pirate bar hidden in the bustling underground of London is called "gilded quagmire".
I don't know whose taste took such a name without style.
Pirate bar, as the surface means, only pirates will patronize this place.
After all, pirates are invisible in London, where royal guards are everywhere.
You have to play this underground style in order to have a happy rum.
I don't know if it's underground. The gold-plated mud is airtight, and the whole space is filled with a rotten smell mixed with all kinds of peculiar smell.
It is more messy than the "hot rose" run by Ruth. If there were a restaurant health rating agency in the world, the pub would undoubtedly be rated five stars.
——Negative five stars.
What happened at the door did not cause any commotion.
To be exact, unless Yilin directly took out a blasting bead and blew it up here, these pirates who drank seven meat and eight vegetables would not notice any obscure movement.
The two stepped into the tavern.
The smell came to my face.
As for what flavor, Yilin didn't bother to distinguish it carefully. Anyway, it's not a good flavor.
Ruth had been here once yesterday, but she just wanted to find a place to inquire about the news and didn't stay in the gilded mud for too long.
What is the place for pirates to ask for information?
There is no doubt that it is a tavern where pirates gather.
Pirates have always been famous for having no secrets.
The tavern has a large space. After all, it used to be a warehouse for a noble to collect treasures. The space is too small to justify, and it seems very empty.
Overhead, the shaking oil lamps and dim yellow lights were shown on the pirates, setting off the distorted and shaking shadows. From a distance, it was like a group of demons dancing, adding a somewhat strange and terrible atmosphere out of thin air.
However, it seems that Yilin has the illusion of stepping into an informal modern bar and jumping on the dance floor full of colorful neon lights. It's a pity that there is no music.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong——
The idea of Yilin just sounded.
Behind the bar, an old man with fashionable clothes and various braids on his head, with drooping eyelids, crossed legs and holding a musical instrument like a guitar, tinkled and played.
"Yo ho ~ turn around together ~ raise the flag ~"
"Pull ~ thieves and beggars ~ we will never die ~"
Hehe, who said there was no music?
Many people began to sing the song of pirates.
In fact, the singing and guitar accompaniment are not in the same dimension, not the same song at all.
"Eh? Why are there people nailed to the wall?"
Ruth suddenly pointed to a wall.
Yilin took a look and didn't care so much. He took Ruth and chose a relatively quiet corner. There happened to be a table that no one patronized, and they sat down.
ten minutes later.
Irene and Ruth, who had nothing to do, finally waited for the waiter.
Behind them sounded a familiar voice in flattery.
"Hey, hey, welcome to the 'gilded quagmire'. Oh, you two look so beautiful. Skilled Charlie serves you attentively. How many glasses of rum do you want?"
Erin and Ruth turned their heads.
An ugly man with a black and blue face, a man beaten so that his mother could hardly recognize him, was trying to squeeze out a licking dog like smile, rubbing his index finger and thumb with Elin and Ruth, as if looking forward to some reward called "tip".
