My lover is this organization

"organ."

Qin Wuque brandished his diving knife and carved another arrow on the stone wall, saying, "The most intuitive example is that the two treasure hunters stole the pistol and machete from the island museum. From a common sense point of view, they must have encountered a mechanism that required these two treasures to open while searching for Ann and Mary's treasure."

"What about from an irrational perspective?" Sonoko asked curiously.

"That's a very irrational angle." Qin Wuque glanced at her. "That's what you said about a thief who never leaves empty-handed. He was unwilling to give up because he couldn't get Ann and Mary's treasure, so he forcibly robbed them before leaving, and then fled across the Pacific Ocean with his loot and oxygen tank on his back."

"Uh……"

The girl's face suddenly turned embarrassed.

"It's normal to make mistakes in reasoning occasionally." She muttered softly.

"Okay, here we are."

Qin Wuque suddenly stopped.

Hearing this, Yuanzi looked up. They had been walking forward all the way, and now they arrived at a three-way intersection. Three roads formed by stone steps met here. The only wall was carved with a picture of a pirate skull that had been eroded by time but was still clearly visible.

On the ground, there were piles of eerie white bones.

"Skeletons... Skeletons!?" Sonoko screamed, "And there are so many of them..."

"Well--"

Qin Wuque adjusted the angle of the light and scanned the skeletons.

"It seems that there are no obvious external injuries, and even their clothes are not damaged. This means that they did not die in a fight. The most likely cause is... gas."

"poison gas?"

Yuanzi quickly covered her mouth and nose.

"It's useless just like that." Qin Wuque patted the oxygen tank behind her, "From now on, you can breathe with the oxygen tank. If it's not enough, you can use mine."

"What about you, Brother Qin?" Yuanzi asked vaguely, biting the respirator.

"I... don't need it."

Qin Wuque hesitated for a moment, and wisely chose not to continue explaining the problem. Instead, he swept all the skeletons on the ground aside with his feet, then crossed the three-way intersection and continued walking forward.

He was not familiar with the structure of the underwater palace, nor did he know which road led to where. The reason he continued to move forward was simply because he caught a glimpse of something vaguely like a "door" in front of the opposite door.

That is indeed a door.

A heavy stone door with a mechanism.

Four sets of grooves for crossing swords and spears appear on the door, mirroring each other left and right, and top and bottom.

Qin Wuque took out Ann and Mary's knife and pistol that he brought with him and compared them with the shape of the groove. There was no doubt that they were exactly the same!

"That's amazing. I suddenly feel that what you said is probably right, Yuanzi." Qin Wuque muttered as he looked at the mechanical stone door. "Who knows, maybe they really plan to grab the sword and gun and run away to find the next set of swords and guns. One set is not enough. We need four sets... Edward only has two swords and four guns. We need four swords and four guns."

"That shouldn't be possible, right?" Sonoko looked thoughtful. "But I heard that Ann and Mary often fight back to back... So that's how it is, I understand!"

"What do you understand?" Qin Wuque was stunned.

"I think that's possible."

Yuanzi took the pistol and scimitar from Qin Wuque, put the pistol in the upper left corner, and the scimitar in the lower right corner.

Watching from a distance, the angle of the weapons is exactly the posture of two female pirates fighting back to back!

Click!

As if to confirm the girl's guess, with the sound of a mechanism being activated, a little dust fell from above the stone door, and the seal that had been there for hundreds of years was reopened at this moment.

The stone door opened by itself without anyone pushing it.

Behind the stone gate is a brand new pirate ship preserved in a huge mountain!

Hey~ I suddenly want to change the cover. Let me look for some nice pictures of Bayonetta or Ai-chan in the next two days. This cover of the feminized Captain Qin is really not that recognizable, and it looks a bit dark.

Chapter 243: Sad News: Sister Bei failed the trial

"Is this... a pirate ship?"

Sonoko's eyes widened.

The scene before her was too shocking for her, a high school girl in her prime.

A brand new, unused, yet time-worn multi-masted pirate ship lies quietly in the middle of a huge mountain.

The entire mountain has been hollowed out, and the entire space has a height difference of up to fifty or sixty meters, a large part of which was artificially excavated. The deliberately trimmed rock slopes cleverly support the curved bottom of the pirate ship from both sides, allowing it to remain firmly anchored without capsizing even without the support of seawater.

Under the bow, the stone statue of a goddess is leaning forward slightly, as if leading the pirate ship and riding the waves. Unfortunately, it is not made of gold.

"Yes, it's an authentic pirate ship, and it's a pirate ship from more than 300 years ago." Qin Wuque looked at it in the light of the flashlight.

There are quite a lot of traces of artificial excavation in this underwater space. In addition to the place where the pirate ship is anchored, there is an upward stone slope on the left side of their entrance. The slope is not steep but very long, extending from the bow to the stern. The edge of the slope is close to the hull and is at the same height as the boarding gate, so it can be used for boarding.

Further up the stone slope, there is another small platform parallel to it, with exactly the same length.

Qin Wuque turned the light on and looked upwards, and found that there was a brazier supported by iron sheets set up at regular intervals, probably used for lighting in the mountain, and they were filled with firewood.

Unfortunately, they didn't bring torches when they came, and they didn't even have anything to light a fire, so they had to give up.

"Is the treasure of Amber and Marillide hidden in this pirate ship?" Sonoko asked curiously.

"Maybe, possibly, should... Never mind, I don't know." Qin Wuque changed his wording several times, but finally shook his head.

"I can only say that it may be true or not. I am not good at history and failed junior high school history. But even if I learned well, it would be useless. Once historical facts are run over by the wheels of history, it is difficult to distinguish whether they are true or false. It's like some people say that King Zhou of Shang was a tyrant, while others say that King Zhou of Shang was a wise ruler. Then both sides spit and shout louder than each other, but who knows who is right and who is wrong. After all, no one here is from the Shang Dynasty... But according to historical records, these two female pirates had a miserable life."

"Then forget about the history, why don't we just witness it with our own eyes?" Yuanzi took Qin Wuque's hand, tilted his head towards the huge ship fixed in the mountain not far away, with a sly smile on his face.

"Then let's go." Qin Wuque nodded slightly.

Anyone with a little desire to explore would be more or less excited about being able to personally board a pirate ship built by a legendary female pirate more than three hundred years ago. During the boarding process, Sonoko was like a little pirate who was about to sneak onto the treasure ship of the nine pirate kings to steal their property. Her face was full of excitement and anticipation, but she dared not breathe. She took every step cautiously, as if a Vietcong might pop up under her feet at any time.

But one does have to be careful. Unlike today's era when giant 10,000-ton ships roam the seas, most pirate ships three hundred years ago were made of wood. It's not an exaggeration to say that they were made of pure wood.

However, even such a pirate ship made entirely of wood has not shown any signs of decay in three hundred years. No one can predict how brittle the wood will become in such a dry environment. It may be fine if you step on it once, but a hole may be created when you step on it the next time and you may fall into it.

The door of the captain's room was pushed open from the outside, and the electrical light from the 21st century shone in. Qin Wuque saw that there was only a table and two captain's chairs in the captain's room.

"There are two captain's chairs!" Sonoko exclaimed, "One of them must have been left by Amberney for Marie-Lide!"

"Is that so?" Qin Wuque glanced around, "But it's just like I imagined. There's nothing there."

"I can't say for sure."

"Ok?"

"Think about it~" the girl raised a finger and said seriously, "What is usually in the captain's room?"

"There is a captain..."

"Of course it's a compass! And a compass!"

"So?"

"So the treasures definitely can't be piled up in the captain's cabin." Yuanzi seemed to be convinced by herself, "For example, if you play Sea of ​​Thieves, you definitely can't pile all the loot in the captain's cabin. You must hide it in the lower cabin. Otherwise, others will see from a distance that your captain's cabin is full of colorful things and know that you are a fat sheep. They will bombard you without saying a word!"

"Then... let's go and take a look." Qin Wuque did not comment.

And just as he expected, when the two men went down to the cabin, there was not even a single gold coin in the huge cabin, let alone priceless gold and silver treasures. Instead, there were various daily necessities, such as pots, pans, and daily utensils.

Especially barrels and glasses.

"There really is nothing." Sonoko's little face was full of disbelief.

"Yes." Qin Wuque said in a calm tone.

He and Yuanzi had not come here for Schrödinger's treasure. At best, they were just tourists who had left the tour guide to sightsee on their own. Therefore, they did not care much about not finding the treasure and had a very positive attitude.

"If I remember correctly, Anne escaped here, and Marillide was still in prison at that time."

"Could it be..."

"Yes, that's what you're thinking." Qin Wuque said, "I think it was after An Boni escaped here that I dug this huge cave and built a new pirate ship here, just to wait for Marylide to be released from prison and sail together to travel the world again. But I didn't expect that I would never be able to wait for my best friend until I died."

"Marielide died of fever in prison..." Sonoko murmured.

"That's exactly what happened." Qin Wuque snapped his fingers. "But it's not wrong to say that there is treasure buried here. At least for the pirates at that time, the real treasure was neither gold and silver nor fame and status, but the pirate ship they owned and their companions on the ship."

"Okay, now that we've seen the sights, let's go back the same way." Qin Wuque led the way up the stairs and walked out of the cabin like a tour guide, "Dear passengers, please remember to collect your garbage and don't litter in the scenic area~"

"I'm not littering!" Yuanzi followed closely with a pouty look.

At this moment, the ship suddenly shook violently.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

I originally wanted to use a picture of Bayley taking a bath that a friend in the group posted yesterday. Actually, she didn’t show anything, and it was almost covered by white bubbles. However, it still didn’t pass the review, so I can only use Sulli (sad)

But isn’t it okay for Shirley to be barefoot?

I said directly: Hi, wife!

Chapter 244 Flying Dog Head (Dog Head)

This ship has its own ideas.

This was the first thought in Qin Wuque's mind at this time.

Then he decisively rewarded himself with a chestnut to clear his mind.

It is not the pirate ship that has ideas, but the earth beneath the ship.

In other words - oh shit, there's an earthquake.

"Earth... Earthquake?!"

Yuanzi was simply stunned.

As a native Japanese, she should not have been so panicked about such a small thing as an earthquake. After all, Japan is located in an earthquake zone. A small earthquake every three days and a big earthquake every five days have been a regular feature of the Japanese people for hundreds and thousands of years. Earthquake escape drills are a compulsory course for modern Japanese people since childhood.

but--

Where can she escape to?

The ground beneath their feet and the hull were shaking violently, and debris kept falling from above their heads. They were now in an underwater palace a hundred meters below. Even the most powerful rescue team would find it difficult to reach it.

What's more, once the underwater palace collapsed, a huge amount of seawater would rush in instantly. With the number of oxygen cylinders they carry, they would not be able to hold on until the rescue team arrives and would run out of oxygen and drown on the seabed.

"Que, what should we do now!" Yuanzi shouted anxiously.

She called out Qin Wuque's name without even realizing it.

"Cold salad..."

Compared to Miss Suzuki who looked panic-stricken, Qin Wuque's reaction could be described as relaxed.

The rule for going underground is to take three steps forward and four steps backward.

It means that before doing something, you have to consider the next three steps, and after you have done it, you have to consider the fourth step, because anything can happen underground. If you don't prepare a response plan in advance, and rely entirely on temporary reactions without planning ahead, it is easy to get stuck and die.

Qin Wuque himself was no exception.

If he was alone, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it was different with Yuanzi here, so on the way here he thought about what to do if he encountered various emergencies.

Earthquakes are naturally included.

But now he was thinking about how to escape easily and quickly.

It would naturally be a good idea to drive away with Yuanzi in his arms while driving away in the time-zero car, but considering that it would be very troublesome to explain later, Qin Wuque did not really want to choose this path unless it was absolutely necessary.

Squeak—squeak—

Just as Qin Wuque looked up at the sky and thought, a slight sound of air leakage mixed with the sound of rocks falling fell into his ears.

He looked in the direction of the sound alertly, only to discover that the sound came from a crack in the rock wall. There were no cracks there originally, but the sudden earthquake caused cracks to appear on the rock wall, and a large amount of gas stored underground erupted along these cracks.

"Methane?" Qin Wuque suddenly reacted.

He raised his hand to block a rock as big as a human head that fell from the sky. With his other hand, he wrapped his arms around the garden behind him to protect it tightly, and strode toward the deck.

"Come with me, I have an idea!" he shouted.
