Life Dungeon Game

However, He Ao's mental strength was not as weak as the gravedigger's, and Hu Wen's condition was much worse than He Ao's before.

Hu Wen's body movements became increasingly stiff and slow, but he still rolled over little by little.

It eventually rolled off the edge of the boat.

Just as he was about to fall into the sea, he suddenly reached out, grabbed the edge of the boat, and then flipped over and jumped back up.

what

Ao stared at the somewhat charred body of 'Hu Wen' in front of him, while 'Hu Wen' stared back at him.

At this moment, He Ao once again experienced the feeling of having his vision severed.

Ultimately, He Ao successfully controlled Hu Wen, turning him into his first C-level puppet.

Unlike the time when he controlled the gravedigger's corpse, this time He Ao received some fragmented memories from Hu Wen.

Most of them were murders.

Brutal murder.

Hu Wen's pleasure lies in watching people struggle in despair and ultimately die.

Countless people died at his hands, and the bloody scenes even shocked He Ao.

If a normal person with poor mental resilience were to accept these memories, they would probably go insane.

That's why Hu Wen became a wanted criminal in various countries.

He sorted through the memories in his mind, searching through those cruel and crazy memories, and finally found some useful information.

Hu Wen's talent is 'ruthless bandit', but this talent is not innate, but rather an advanced one. His original talent was D-level 'thug'.

In the ruins, he was lucky enough to encounter the corpse of a dead beast that attracted him. Under the control of his instincts, he devoured all the core parts of the corpse and eventually advanced to the level of a C-rank 'bandit' amidst intense pain.

Eating corpses...

Doing this would likely result in a high mortality rate, and Hu Wen's mental state is clearly already somewhat distorted.

I wonder if the research institute has any knowledge related to secret medicines or how to extract talent sequences.

He Ao pulled himself out of his thoughts, roughly sorted through Hu Wen's memories, and then stared at Hu Wen in front of him.

Of course, at this moment, 'Hu Wen' was also watching him.

Then He Ao suddenly realized that, from Hu Wen's perspective, he was actually quite handsome...

Wait a minute... how can you tell someone is handsome when they're carrying a KFC food bag?

He thought for a moment, then raised his left hand and looked at the colorful ring on his hand.

The multicolored ring can change one's attire at will, at the cost of indiscriminate and uncontrollable allure, which intensifies with the duration of wear.

It seems the colorful ring worked.

But now that the cumulative effect of this ring has reached level C, will it be slightly affected?

At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating He Ao's blood-stained clothes. With the enhancement of allure, ferocity and holiness were combined, making him appear vast and inviolable.

He Ao roughly understood why those pirates had knelt down. This allure had reached the point where it could even slightly affect C-level individuals, and for ordinary people, it could probably already influence their mental state.

In their eyes, Heo might really look like a god now.

However, once He Ao leaves and the allure wears off, they should gradually come to their senses.

The top priority right now is dealing with Hu Wen's injuries.

Hu Wen was seriously injured twice and then struck by He Ao's lightning. He is now truly in critical condition.

Hu Wen possesses two extraordinary items.

One of them was a silver earring called the 'Breath-Covering Earring,' hanging on his left ear. This earring could temporarily conceal all signs of life, making him appear like a truly dead person. The side effect was that the more he concealed the presence, the worse it became.

The longer it goes on, the weaker the life force becomes, and after a certain period of time, it will truly die.

The other item was his silver steel dagger, called the 'Nightfall Dagger'. It could absorb the life force of enemies to enhance his own strength and increase his regenerative abilities. However, the more he absorbed, the more he would be affected by the dead, and the more chaotic his thoughts would become.

Hu Wen's ability to regain mobility so quickly was also related to this dagger. He used this dagger to kill many sea fish and absorb their life force.

The earrings are grade C, which can conceal the aura of grade C, while the dagger is top-grade D, capable of only absorbing the life force of grade D at most.

With the help of this earring and dagger, Hu Wen repeatedly escaped capture and survived various dangerous situations.

However, with his injuries so severe, simply draining the life force of the fish with a dagger is not enough; at least some emergency bandaging and suturing are needed.

So He Ao let Hu Wen attack him. After the two exchanged a couple of blows, Hu Wen took advantage of He Ao's 'unpreparedness' and jumped into the sea.

He looked around but couldn't find it. He then quickly went to the wheelhouse and signaled the crew to turn the ship around and face the cruise ship, but not to get close to it.

Then they found a crew member who could barely understand the Chinese language and gathered all the pirates together.

During this time, 'Hu Wen' climbed onto the ship from the other side while everyone was distracted, went into the medical room to take a shower, stitched up his wounds, applied medicine, then found a diving suit to prevent seawater from soaking into his wounds, and jumped into the sea.

At almost the same time, the commentator also climbed onto the cargo ship.

There will be more later, you can check it tomorrow morning.

Heo happened to need a translator, so he asked the speech master to translate what the pirates were muttering to him.

After hearing this, the commentator looked at Heo with a strange expression. "These pirates say you are 'the incarnation of Nora'."

What is Nora?

He Ao was somewhat curious.

"Nora is the goddess of the sea, storms, and thunder in the legends of Arano, and is the chief goddess in the original mythology of Arano."

Legend has it that every so often, Nora would descend upon Alano in human form, bringing calm to the seas and ensuring a bountiful catch for the fishermen. The name Alano comes from this legend and means "the land protected by Nora."

The old king of Arano claimed to be an incarnation of Nora.

The sophist thought for a moment, chatted with the pirate next to him for a few more minutes, and then suddenly realized something and said to Heo, "Baran used to claim that he was the incarnation of Nora, and his power convinced the pirates. Now that you have killed Baran, all the pirates think that you are more like the incarnation of Nora, and that you are the real one, while Baran is the fake one."

Maritime civilizations that live on islands or peninsulas and rely on the sea for survival are generally most afraid of storms and thunder. Therefore, in the primitive myths of such civilizations, the sea god or thunder god is often one of the most important deities.

The legend of the sea god in Arano is also intertwined with feudal rule. The king is the incarnation of the sea god, and the fusion of divine and royal power is a skill that ancient feudal rulers basically mastered without being taught.

After figuring this out, Heo sighed, and then he asked the orator to ask the pirates if Balan had left anything valuable on the ship.

Balan traveled light this time, keeping all his valuable gold, silver, jewelry and jewels in his lair. There was nothing on the coal ship. As for extraordinary items, He Ao and the Speech Master searched everywhere but couldn't find even a single ordinary extraordinary item.

Balan's foundation was still weak, and he had virtually no opportunity to explore the ruins. He was truly poor; his only extraordinary item was the pirate treasure chest that Heo was carrying. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he risked his life to rob the research institute.

While He Ao was chatting with the commentator and the pirates, 'Hu Wen' had already put on a diving suit, jumped into the sea, and was hunting larger fish to replenish his life while fleeing into the distance.

At this moment, the research institute's support ship finally arrived.

······

The night was both short and long.

The research institute's support ship quickly treated the injured on the cruise ship and began handling the aftermath.

Not long after, an emergency cruise ship was dispatched to the location of the pirate mother ship to rescue the hostages there.

Fortunately, Baran managed to keep the hostages safe by using them to blackmail Yang De. However, the mother ship was indeed loaded with bombs. Although Yang De had received word from Heo that the bomb detonator was safe, he still managed to get the people onto the pirate speedboats on the cargo ship.

All the follow-up matters were handled until dawn the next day.

As the morning sunlight streamed across the smooth deck, Heo took the little girl Nini to the makeshift cruise ship and returned her to her parents.

Goodbye, brothers and sisters, eldest brother

Goodbye, brother!

Nini leaned against her mother and waved goodbye to He Ao and the others.

Watching the cruise ship gradually disappear into the distance, leaving behind a layer of white waves, the commentator sighed softly, "How wonderful."

"Ah."

He Ao nodded slightly.

"By the way, Big Wood, why do you think they have three C-level superhumans but don't attack together?"

The commentator blinked, looking at He Ao with a puzzled expression.

He glanced at her, then looked at the vast, boundless sea, and thought, "Prejudice."

Hu Wen, who belonged to a large organization, and the psychologist looked down on Balan, a peasant from a pirate background. Even though they needed Balan's cooperation, they only asked Balan to provide personnel and do some odd jobs.

Rather than splitting the stolen supernatural items with a pirate, Dawn preferred to keep all the supernatural items for herself, giving away only one or two to appease the pirate. They were also confident that they could deal with Yang De with the help of Hu Wen and the psychologist.

Balan probably still harbors resentment towards this behavior.

However, this time, in addition to Dawn and Balan, there was a third-party force involved in the incident. Although He Ao did not obtain the information about this third-party force in Hu Wen's mind, he could roughly guess the identity of this third-party force.

The Empire of Tia.

The waters of the Republic of Nolai, where they are now, are in a sense within the sphere of influence of the Tia Empire, and the coal ships carrying Balan are flying the flag of the Tia Empire.

Based on some information from Hu Wen's memory, the extraordinary organization of the Tia Empire was second only to the Research Institute in strength, and it had always been at odds with the Research Institute. The friction between the two organizations was not a recent development.

With such a behemoth backing him, Balan dared to launch an attack on the research institute without any worries.

As He Ao gazed at the sea, a figure stood behind him and whispered, "Want to chat?"

He Ao turned around and saw Yang De's slightly smiling face.

He nodded and walked with Yang De to the other side of the ship.

The heavy dark clouds had long since dispersed, and bright sunlight streamed down.

"The 25,500 points have been transferred to your account."

Yang De looked at the calm sea and said softly.

"Ah."

He Ao nodded slightly, without saying anything.
