Starting from Zero

"Fix the rope, you are all waiting here. Lin Yue, Sun Yan, follow me on the boat."

"I will go too. "Hong Yue cried.

"You are still waiting here, and you are in charge of the command."

"Well then!" Hong Yue retreated timidly like an aggrieved little wife. This surprised me very much. This doesn't seem to be her character!

Anyway, I only took two players and a few NPCs on the broken ghost ship. This guy is really big, the front deck can almost be used as a court, but the degree of tattered is really exaggerated.

I mean a cabin entrance at the stern. "Sun Yan, you take the four sailors down there, open the guild channel, report anything immediately, don't take risks."

"Okay. The four of you come with me." Sun Iwa led the four sailors towards the cabin entrance.

I also pointed to the cabin entrance at the bow of the ship. "Lin Yue, you take the four sailors down there. Be careful, if you encounter any dangerous situation, call us immediately, don't take risks alone."

"Don't worry! It's just a broken ship. How am I! Okay, you four, come with me!" Lin Yue ran to the bow with the four sailors.

Although there are more undead creatures in the game, people's habits can't be changed by changing them. Sun Yan and Lin Yue took four original pirate sailors, and left me the four undead sailors who were later expanded into the sailor camp. Anyway, I'm very nervous, the undead is used to this thing a long time ago, and it's okay to bring four undeads.

Send the two of them to the bow and stern, and I had to come in the middle. As soon as I walked to the door of the cabin, I heard Lin Yue's complaint from the channel: "Damn! There has been no one here for at least a few hundred years, and the door is gone!"

Sun Yan's voice also popped out. "Then what are you complaining about?"

"What's the matter with me not complaining?" Lin Yue used her unreasonable skills to say that Sun Yan couldn't help it. "Hey, what are you doing over there? Ping pong?" Sun Yan said: "I have a lot of doors here, but the handles are all rusty, and I can't open them. I'm smashing them. The door is here!"

I said with a smile: "This kind of raggedness is probably not strong enough. It is not a small question to smash the door... Ah... boom... Ah... boom... Ping-pong...Boom...Ping-pong...Ah...Oh...Ah...Boom...B...I...Aiya...Boom...Cough cough cough...cough cough cough !"

"What's the matter with you? What's the matter?" Both of them heard me talking halfway through and suddenly heard strange noises, thinking that I had encountered some enemy.

"I'm at the bottom of the boat!"

"Huh? So fast? Why did you get off? Why was it so noisy just now? What's the noise?"

"This damn broken ship, I don't know how long it has been floating here, the wooden boards are all rotten. I just collapsed the stairs when I got off the cabin, and it ended up falling all the way to the bottom of the boat. You better be careful yourself. , The floor here may collapse at any time."

"haha! But your method is faster!" Sun Yan actually laughed at me.

I said angrily: "If you have the ability, you can jump twice and make sure you fall too."

"Haha! I don't stop! Your soil lifts me. I’m not used to sitting. Since you’re done to the end, we won’t go down in the bottom deck. I beg you."

"Taking pleasure in other people's misfortune guys, I hope you also fall down."

p>

"I don't...ah...Aiya...ping pong...boom...boom!"

Sun Yan was recruited before finishing talking, all the way from It fell off. From a distance, you can hear the sound of wood breaking and heavy objects falling in the cabin. When the voice stopped, I heard Sun Yan's half-dead voice: "You are really a crow's mouth, a good but not bad spirit!"

"haha! This is called retribution! Then, since you are also down! , We each person gets half in the lower deck, right?"

"I'm not as bad as you! It's just that I stepped on three floors. There is still some distance from the lower deck, right?"

"Then you pray that you don't step on it again." I cursed badly.

"How can I be so unlucky for you? You should inspect the bottom deck obediently and honestly. Satsuki, can you check the upper floor? I will look at the middle floors. The deepest hell is left to us the most moldy Sir President!"

"haha! I agree." Lin Yue is also a master who is not too troubled to watch the excitement. "By the way, all the sailors you brought will follow me. You don't have to take them anyway."

"Yes. But you have to summon them yourself."

Since It has fallen and there is no other way. I was forced to start checking the bottom deck. But before that, you must get yourself out of this pile of rotten wood. A lot of things collapsed when I fell just now, and it seemed to hit a bed halfway through, but it didn't stop the tendency to fall and fell along with me.

Grabbing a broken wood with one hand and trying to push it away, with a hard hand, the wood was crushed like a shortbread. I rely on! Isn't it so exaggerated? Moved his leg, kicked off a crossbar, and then threw away the rest of the tatters, turned over and jumped up. Suddenly a strange problem was discovered. The wood on the bottom of the ship felt completely different from the floor above. In order to verify whether it was an illusion, I squatted down and knocked on the floor carefully, for fear that it would be troublesome to knock it through and leak.

The sound from the bottom plank is really different. The wood seems to be very strong and there is no decay. It's no wonder that the ship was broken like that above and the ship didn't sink. The wood underneath was not damaged. But generally the wood used for the bottom and the top of the boat should be the same! The upper part is all flour, how can the lower part be the same as the new one?

I approached the bottom plate again and asked Phantom to take a look. With his knowledge, I should be able to detect some minor problems. However, Phantom couldn't find the reason after watching for a long time, instead, it made more doubts. The Mirage confirmed that the bottom material of the ship was the same as the above, and there was even no special treatment. Ordinarily, the same material should have the same durability! How could it be so different?

I checked the entire bottom compartment, the situation was exactly the same, and the entire bottom was like new, leaving no time stamp at all. But the hull structure told me that these timbers were installed on the ship together, and this shouldn't happen at all.

After thinking about it for a long time, I really couldn't figure out the reason, so I simply summon Ling and Xiaochun out. Tell them these doubts and let them see if there are any clues.

Ling and Xiaochun studied the wooden boards together and compared them with the decaying wooden boards. Xiaochun said: "I can only feel that these woods are surrounded by a special layer of energy. It feels like Dark Element. I am not quite clear."

____________________________________

< p> I turned to Ling, she replied: "It's the wronged soul. The entire bottom plank is surrounded by the grievances of the low-level wronged souls. The wood has been undead, just like the bones of a skeleton soldier. It will take many years to break it without external force. It will not weather."

"It really is a ghost ship!"

Ling continued: "The strange thing is that such a strong resentment can only be caused by the collective death of a large number of creatures. Yes, and the corpse must be in the vicinity, otherwise the grievances should have dissipated."

"You mean the undead in the vicinity?"

"No, not the undead. These undead souls are not undead, but simple wraith without consciousness, and they are all concentrated on the wooden board. I am talking about corpses, and their corpses should be in the vicinity!"

"But what is here Nothing!" I looked everywhere. This floor is the bottom compartment, which is the isolated passage for people to enter when repairing the bottom of the ship. There is nothing at all. Apart from a few pillars, the cabin has a clear view. If there is a corpse It's time to see it.

"Will it be under here?" Xiaochun pointed to the floor.

"This is the bottom of the boat. There is water under the wooden planks. Don't you think the body is soaking in the water?"

Ling even said to Xiaochun, "Xiaochun said It makes sense. This may be a disguise, maybe there is a mezzanine. Master, you can make a hole and try."

"But if there is no mezzanine, what should I do if there is a leak?"

p>

"Leaks can be blocked! Just make a small hole. Such a big boat will not sink for a while even if it leaks."

"Well then! You two prepare the wood first, and be ready to plug it up if it really leaks."

Take out eternity and turn him into a finger-thick awl, with the tip facing down on the wooden board. I didn't work hard, and the sharp eternity began to sink by itself because of its own gravity. I didn't expect that this layer was quite thick. The awls that have become eternal have pierced half a foot deep, and they haven't gotten through yet. "Damn! This board is too thick!"

"Maybe the bottom layer is like this." Ling explained.

We waited for a while, and the cone suddenly slipped downward, obviously losing resistance. I put my hand on the hole, and the cone immediately rose again. Put the eternally red bead back into the dragon's mouth on the arm, and then look at the hole, it seems that it is indeed a mezzanine, because there is no water coming out.

Put one eye over the hole and look down. My night vision ability allows me to see things in the dark. Although it is extremely dark in the mezzanine, it does not affect my observation. Sure enough, I saw a lot of things. I beckons with the hand: "There are corpses."

Xiaochun came over to the hole and jumped up screaming, Ling came over. Looked at it and said indifferent: "It's just the corpse, it's just a bit badly decomposed."

"Get out of the way, I'll make the hole a little bigger."

Xiaochun said: "Can I not participate?"

"Then you go back and rest first!" I waved her back to Fenglong Space. It's really rare to hear the system hint increase loyalty by 2 points!

After taking Xiaochun back, I used Eternity to make a big irregular hole in the floor. Anyway, it was a temporary passage. I didn't have the tools. I couldn't make it into a standard shape! Ling inserted the tail of her staff into the wooden board. After I cut the last connection, she lifted it up, and we pulled up the cut part.

As the hole opened, an unspeakable smell immediately rushed up. That's not the smell anymore. After such a long time, the smell has disappeared long ago, but the smell is sour, and it doesn't smell very good!

"Look at this." Ling showed me the cut plank. It turns out that the board is double-layered, which looks like sandwich biscuits. The upper and lower layers are three-inch thick wooden boards, with a two-inch thick pewter in the middle. It seems that 80% of the corpse below is suffocated, and this layer of wax is simply used to seal it.

Now the situation below is much clearer after opening the hole. Below this is the entire one-story cabin, but it is sealed. Now there was a pile of corpses on the floor of the cabin, and the floor was not visible at all.

I helped the hole and jumped down. There were corpses underneath. I couldn't stand at all. As soon as I landed, I stumbled, but fortunately, they were all soft. The bottom is exactly the same as the top, there is nothing but pillars, and a large number of corpses are full. I found some gilded Magic Talisman on a pillar next to it. This is probably the reason why these corpses are still soft after so long. But which pervert is to keep the corpse fresh? Shouldn't it be better to simply kill a witness to silence them if they should be thrown into the sea?

Think about throwing the corpse aside and clearing a floor. He raised his head and stretched out his hands to Ling: "You can come down."

Lingzong jumped down, and I caught her firmly. Put her down on the ground and said: "Can you calculate the number?"

"Looking at the thickness of the corpses and the area here, it is estimated that no less than 20,000 people."

"Good fellow , Mass graves!" I looked around and Ling estimated that the number should be similar. Reached out and grabbed a corpse's face and turned around. This is still a child, at most 12 years old. The corpse next to him is probably his mother, who is hugging him tightly. Turned over in the corpse next to him, men, women and children, all kinds of people, could not find anything in common.

Ling took the hand of a young female corpse and moved her fingers. "The flexibility is not bad, and it is well preserved."

I pointed to a belly next to him and opened fire: "But some are very difficult to deal with!"

Ling Cou looked at the symbol on the pillar. "This is a low-level undead storage array. It is used by Necromancers to preserve corpses. At the same time, if you manipulate too many corpses, Necromancer will be very strenuous, but the corpses cannot be found at any time, so Necromancers invented this thing. They usually find it. Collect the corpses and take them out when they are needed."

"You mean these people weren’t slaughtered here, but materials collected by Necromancer?"

"These No, these people were killed here. And this array was painted a long time after the death of these people, so some corpses were rotten and some were not. These people did not die together, but the rotten corpses were first Dead, there may be Necromancer among the last people who died. He didn't want his corpse to rot, so he drew such a thing."

"Really, what do people do when they die?"

p>

____________________________________________

"Usually Necromancers are undying creatures. But some creatures also learn the undead spell and want to become Necromancers. As long as they reach the high level of Necromancer, they can transform themselves into undying creatures, and They can retain their autonomous consciousness and become Immortal Body. But if they die unexpectedly without reaching the high level Necromancer, they cannot become immortal, but really die. However, as long as the body is not damaged after this type of Necromancer, the soul will not leave the body. Yes. As long as such cultivation continues, sooner or later, he can become a high level Necromancer and get up again. This guy who draws is this kind of Necromancer, he wants to keep his fleshy body and can get up sooner or later."

"Can be found Which one is it?"

"No, he was no different from the dead before he was resurrected. I can only be sure that his corpse must be intact, but there are so many intact corpses here, and I don’t know which one. Yes!"

"Then it will be troublesome! It seems that these people are going to become puzzled."

"That's not necessarily true." Ling stretched out a finger Point to the forehead of a corpse, and then as her fingers moved up, the corpse actually stood up. "Did you forget who I am? Can I not do tricks like controlling the corpse?"

"Ah! Forgot Necromancer's boss is here! Quickly, ask him what happened. "

"Controlling the corpse can't answer the question. I can only read out the approximate memory. It depends on whether his soul is still in the vicinity!" Ling closed his eyes and stood for a while. The body suddenly fell soft. Ling opened his eyes again: "Unfortunately, there are only small fragments left in his memory. I probably know that they are family members of some pirates, and the others are not clear."

"Try the one next to it, it should be Is it intact?"

Ling again ordered a corpse to stand up, but there were still only fragments. After experimenting with more than a dozen corpses in a row, Ling stopped. "These people were attacked by Mental Magic before they died, and their thinking was confused, and there were no useful things!"

"It seems hopeless!" I grabbed the neck of a female corpse next to me. She picked it up and looked at it. "Pirate? This little girl soft skin and tender meat will be a pirate? The sea breeze can create wrinkles more than time?"

"The memory fragments are like this, and good skin may be her nature! Look at this, I'm only thirty years old, and it's almost a bark!"

I turned my head and glanced at the one that Ling was holding, it really looked like a bark. When I turned my head back again, the eyes of the female corpse who was being held by my neck suddenly opened, and those cold eyes stared at me wide. I froze for a moment, then took off the helmet and pulled her closer. I almost leaned into her face and looked at her for a long time, especially when I looked at her eyes to confirm that the eyes can focus and track objects, not because of the reflex action caused by any nerves I encountered, but really opened my eyes. "Haha! Woke up one."

Because of what I did, the eyes of the female corpse changed from the coldness just now to bewilderment, and later it was a little bit of fear. I put her down to let her stand, patted her shoulder and asked: "Can you talk?"

She glanced at me with complicated eyes and patted her hand, then looked towards I. "Why don't you run away?"

"Run away?" I look at all around: "What am I running? Is there danger here?"

"I'm dead. Normally. When people see a corpse suddenly opened their eyes, shouldn't they faint with screaming or run away quickly?"

I scratched my hair and looked at Ling, she actually pointed at me and laughed. I turned back and said awkwardly with a smile: "It seems that I am a bit abnormal!"

Ling came over and patted me and said, "Master, you are becoming less and less human now. That's it!"

"What are you talking about?"

"People were scared away when they saw the dead body, you are actually very excited!"

"My character is straightforward. Besides, I'm very excited! Don't you know that curiosity is a very strong ***? Suddenly there is someone who can answer my question..." I looked at the undead girl. "... the undead. Can I not be excited?"

"Well, you have reason!" Ling walked over to the girl and said, "Who are you?"

"Why should I tell you?" The undead girl's surprising answer made us all stunned.

I stretched out three fingers: "I really want to know the cause and course of the matter now. You have three choices. First, talk to us. We meet some of your requirements. In exchange, you think about me. Tell me what you know. Second, you refuse to answer first, and then answer when we are tortured to be unbearable. Third, you are determined and tortured by us until the skeleton doesn't exist and the soul dissipates. Choose one? "Really! Actually pretending to be a big name in front of me, I'm not a good person, I don't know about preferential treatment of prisoners, and I'm very familiar with torture to extract confessions.

The undead girl said with a big smile: "I don’t choose either. First, you may not be able to deal with me. Second, even if I am not an opponent and controlled by you, I am an undead , I don't feel painful, how are you going to torture me?"

Me and Ling were taken aback again. The undead have an instinctive fear of Ling, and try not to conflict with Ling even if they are not necessarily obedient. In front of him, it seemed that he didn't care about Ling's strength at all. Is she very difficult to deal with? But there is no feeling! How powerful can an undead be? The newly awakened low-level undead should be easy to deal with! I think she said that 80% of them were born with a calf and were not afraid of tigers, because she didn't know Ling's identity and strength to be so brave.

Ling said with a smile: "Really cute little MM, no one has dared to talk to me like this for a long time. Although you are already a high level Necromancer, the gap with me is still insurmountable. In addition. "She paused. "Don't use such low-level boring skills as summon zombie against me."

I saw the undead girl's surprised eyes and heard the screams at the same time. Looking back, there were more than 20 corpses behind us, surrounded by green flames, struggling in pain. Seeing those corpses slowly being burned into powder, the undead girl's surprised mouth never closed.

After those zombies were burned, the little girl returned to normal again. She said with a cold smile: "Don’t think that you will be a great fire of the undead. You have the ability to try to burn my guard, Knight." said Seeing Knight stood up behind her with two full-length armors, it seemed that he was also an undead Knight who had just evolved.

In her confident smile, two undead Knights walked up to her, one left and one right, and pressed her shoulders, and they actually grabbed her. Ling smiled and said: "I don't even bother to ask for the undead Knight of this level. You are still a treasure. If you dare to command to fight without writing the soul blood contract, how did your instructor teach you? I don't know if there is no blood contract. Can the summon undead be deprived of control by the Necromancer with stronger mana? It seems that you are a half-hearted Necromancer! You can also be resurrected from the dead in this way. You are really lucky! Just now I actually said that even if you are caught, you can’t be tortured. You, now let you see what it means not have the will to live and be unable to ask for death."

Speaking, Ling snapped his fingers, and the two undead Knights let go of the undead girl and retreated. Aside. But the girl who was free fell down with painful holding head, she just screamed and rolled around on the floor covered with corpses.

Ling asked jokingly: "How about? Is this torture considered strong? If you think it is not enough to stimulate me, there is more severe, do you want to try? I promise to make you feel good. "

I walked over and asked: "Are you willing to answer the question now?"

"Don't think about it!" She was still so hard.

_____________________________________________________

I looked at Ling helplessly, Ling Huiyi snapped his fingers again. The undead girl on the ground suddenly jumped up, and then fell to the ground again. Suddenly she got up and hit the pillar with her head, but the body of the undead was very strong, and the pillar was broken and her head was not red. After breaking the pillar, she started looking frantically for something, and suddenly she seemed to have found it. It turned out to be a dagger. She inserted a dagger into her heart, but there was no response, she was still rolling.

Ling said: "I said, let you experience the feeling of not have the will to live and be unable to ask for death, and you won't let you commit suicide. I just used the undead complex on you Reinforcement technique-Heart of Fury. Now all your feelings have become very sensitive, pain will become more intense, and you can't die no matter what physical injury you receive. How about? Enjoy it? Experience it! In another hour, your soul will collapse due to extreme pain. From then on, your soul and body will disappeared together."

"Please...please...you...go around me!...I Say... I said...!"

The super torture finally worked. Face is really boring, and a little girl has survived for this nihility for so long. After Ling removed the magic, the little girl fell down like prostration, and looked dying.

I squatted down beside her. "Remember next time, be easy-going, don't pretend to be arrogant. You are not much better than anyone, someone is better than you, don't make you look the best in the world."

Little girl is difficult Nodded.

I continued to ask: "Now, please explain who these people are and why are you locked up here?"

"We are the pirates of Hope Island .Because of the long-term harassment of the maritime traffic of various countries, those countries bought the sacrifices of Light God Palace."

Ling continued: "Then Light God Palace sent troops to suppress you, and you are set as rebellious. The people in the group were caught here and killed, and you happened to have learned the undead magic, so you thought of using this method to survive?"

Girl nodded. "That's about it, but we should have been sent back to the temple for trial, but I don't know why they suddenly stopped providing food and water in the middle."

"Then you know how the wax seal returned Is it something?"

"I don’t know. We didn’t have that thing when we were alive, and there was a door here. I don’t know why it became blocked!"

"You Is the last one dead?"

"No. When I lost consciousness, there were still a few people who did not die."

"Then you go find those people, if I want to If it’s not wrong, some of them should be absent."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't care what I mean, just find it."

< p>The undead girl reluctantly got up and started looking for the corpses of the few people. Seeing so many corpses here, she might be looking for a while, I first contact Lin Yue and Sun Yan. "Did you two find anything?"

Lin Yue said: "There is nothing of value, not even a ghost shadow."

"Sun Yan, you What about?"

"I found something here."

"Oh? What did you find?"

"I don't know for the time being, but it seems to be a person I just saw a figure from the back, it disappeared in a flash, I am chasing."

"Which floor are you on? I will come to support right away."

"Fifth floor under the deck. I am in the middle of the hull and the target is heading towards the bow."

Lin Yue immediately said: "I will block the stairs."

I also said: "I am here too. "I turned to Ling and said: "Look at her, I will go up there and come down for a while."

"Don't worry."

I am nodded, I jumped, my hands reversed Grab the edge of the hole. As soon as he exerted force at his waist, his legs went up through the hole and turned up to the upper deck. He ran up to the stairs and quickly reached the level Sun Yan said. "I'm here, where are you?"

Sun Yan's voice was panting: "This guy has gone from the bottom of the hole you smashed to the sixth floor. Now he is going to the stern."

< p>"Fuck me!" I jumped down the stairs directly with excitement, and finally stepped on the floor again. Fortunately, only one floor was dropped this time. Climbed up to the 6th floor and ran towards the stern, and soon caught up with Sun Yan.

"How fast are you?" Sun Yan was surprised to see me.

I asked as I ran: "What about that thing?"

"What about that."

I followed Sun Yan's direction and looked at it. Seeing a black shadow in front, he raised his right hand to aim at the position in front of the black shadow, and a crossbow arrow flew past with a swish. But what surprised us was that the arrow actually passed through the chest, and there was no reaction to that guy at all.

"Fuck, it's a ghost!" I took out the rune paper from the North Pole Star Monarch and squeezed a handful of it, which surprised Sun Yan next to me.

"Purple Moon, are you a Taoist priest?"

I look at Talisman Dao in my hand: "This is part-time job."

I quickly rushed to the front, The ghost shadow can already be seen, so raise the right hand again. First take out an arrow, and then draw a talisman around it and then install it to restore the enemy. Aim at that ghost, a motive. The crossbow arrow hit accurately, but didn't go through this time, the arrow stuck on the guy like it hit the entity. But when we rushed forward, we heard peng sound, and the shadow disappeared. My arrow fell to the ground, and a little yellow paper cut figure was drifting down slowly.

"No! Puppet Technique?"

Sun Yan picked up the piece of paper and said: "We were cheated?"

I nodded: "I think it is ! There are a lot of ghosts on this damn broken ship."

"What does this guy want to do away with us?" Sun Yan asked.

"Either I was afraid of being discovered, or lured the tiger away from the mountain plan. If it was lured the tiger away from the mountain plan, his goal should not be Lin Yue, she and us originally Not together. Is the target Ling? Impossible! A familiar of Ling's level is very difficult to deal with without the owner by his side. It is not easy to attack her."

"Then what does he mean? ?"

Suddenly the voice of contact came in my mind. "Master, come down, there is a situation here!"

"Not good, I really rushed past."

I rushed to the hole I pierced in the middle of the boat and jumped directly Go down. As the body fell, the cabins one after another flashed in my eyes. When it was almost to the end, suddenly a ferocious-looking female ghost appeared at the entrance of the cave in the first floor. It is said that under normal circumstances, most people must jump up in shock, but my reaction is rather special. I quickly reached out and hugged the female ghost, but the female ghost was shocked by me and fell into the lower cabin.

As soon as I landed on the ground, I immediately pushed the female ghost to the ground, turned over and rode on her and pressed her underneath. Both hands quickly held her hands to clamp her movement. "You actually pretended to be a ghost to scare me! You are unlucky today, this lord's nickname is Sorrowful Ghost, you have hit the muzzle." Hold her hands with one hand, and free one hand to touch her face. I wanted to tear off the mask, but found that it didn't seem to be a mask, but it seemed to be real. "Yi! What a ghost!" The female ghost who had lost one's head out of fear immediately became excited when she heard what I said, but she fainted again when she heard what was behind me. I excitedly said: "I was so lucky today, I first encountered a Necromancer corpse, and let me find a female ghost." I squeezed her face and turned left and right. "Yes, it has been materialized! It has research value!"
