Chapter 288: Speed dungeon? The real cause!
In the cab, in front of the steering wheel.
Captain Luther looked pale after repeated operations, and said with a trembling face full of fat.
"The steering system is malfunctioning!"
Hearing this, Xia En's face darkened and he quickly asked: "What's going on?"
Luther explained: "It seems that there is something wrong with the steering rudder deep in the cabin. It will take at least two or three hours to repair it."
"Two or three hours?"
Xia En's face became more and more gloomy. After such a long time, by the time it was repaired, the [Diamond Star] might have hit the iceberg.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the dull explosion sound that he had ignored before.
Now that I think about it, the timing of the explosion was extremely weird. It was just before the fog dispersed, which was also the time when the murder in the cab occurred.
Could it be that that explosion caused the steering system of the Diamond Star to malfunction?
The more Xia En thought about it, the more it seemed possible.
Since this group of guys with unknown origins intends to drag the [Diamond Star] into the deep sea, they must be extremely well prepared.
What is in the cab in Femia is just one of the trump cards.
Now that he knows that this "cycle" has failed, Xia En simply relaxes his mind and wants to learn more information about the [Diamond Star] before it sinks.
He pointed at Femia, who had committed suicide, and asked Luther: "What is the origin of this first mate?"
Luther completely believed in Shane's "prophecy" at this time, so he naturally asked questions. Answer: I know everything and tell the truth.
“Femia was originally just an ordinary little sailor on the [Diamond Star], but after the first trial voyage, he was appreciated by the salary king, and then he was promoted to the captain of this ship. First mate."
"Before this, Femia had always been honest and fulfilled his duties as first mate, but he didn't expect..."
"An ordinary sailor... …”
Xia En's eyes narrowed, remembering the word "untouchable" that Luther had insulted before, and asked seriously again.
“Are there civilians from various kingdoms in the lower cabin?”
Luther was stunned for a moment, not understanding why His Highness Xia En would suddenly mention this, but in his view In front of the person's power, he nodded quickly.
“Yes, it is also the salary king’s request to accommodate some civilians.”
“Many civilians are also responsible for the work of sailors and handymen...”
At this point, Luther himself came to his senses and murmured: "Your Highness Xia En, you mean..."
"I'm not sure either."
Xia Enzui Having said this, these civilians have already been regarded as objects of suspicion in their hearts.
And he also noticed that both Femia and the civilians on the ship seemed to have some connection with King Xin?
While Shane was thinking, exclamations came from outside the cab.
"Fog, foggy!"
Then, the familiar fog rose again.
The familiar plot is happening again.
Not long after, the dazzling white light submerged Xia En and the two like a tide...
...
...
Only this time.
The time covered by the white light seemed a bit long.
Xia En opened his eyes in the familiar room, feeling that his brain was dizzy and his thinking was a little slow.
"Here is..."
It took Xia En nearly half a minute to recall everything he had encountered before.
His brows furrowed deeply.
Obviously, this is a very bad sign.
His previous conjecture came true. As the number of "loops" increased, the influence of this obsession space on him continued to deepen.
Suddenly, Xia En's heart skipped a beat.
Even he had such symptoms, so Joey...
"...Your Highness?"
At this time, a soft question came from the big bed.
The girl opened the quilt, stretched out lazily, and looked at Xia En with nostalgia, regardless of the spring glory leaking from her body.
“Joy?!”
Hearing this title, Xia En's scalp went numb.
In his impression, Joey had never called him in this tone.
Xia En quickly turned his head and looked.
I saw Joey's charming face, like a freshly moistened flower, which made Xia En even more worried.
"Joy? What's wrong with you Joey?"
"...Joy?"
The girl was slightly startled, frowned and said to herself: "What a familiar name...is this my name?"
Her expression was very complicated. , there was a bit of pain in his eyebrows, and he kept muttering: "Who am I?"
"Joy...I am Joey?"
About a minute later, Joey said He woke up suddenly, and after seeing his posture at this time, he couldn't help but let out a low cry and got back into the quilt again.
Although he enjoyed the beautiful scenery, Xia En was not happy at all.
Joy's performance shows that her assimilation with this space is deepening, so much so that she begins to forget her original identity and assumes the role she plays.
As you can imagine.
If Joey failed to remember his name, he might really get lost in this space.
——The pirates who came into contact with the ghost ship in the past have always disappeared like this.
Shane's soul and will have been polished several times and have long been as solid as a rock. Therefore, he can persist in more "cycles" and can serve as an anchor for Joey to help her confirm her identity.
But if Xia En has doubts about his identity, then the two of them are not far from being truly lost.
Thinking of this, Xia En's expression became serious and he made up his mind.
“It seems that some extraordinary measures must be used.”
In this cycle.
Shane did not go to find Edward or Captain Luther, but directly followed the route in his memory and headed to the cab of the [Diamond Star].
At this point in time, the dull explosion has not yet sounded, and the murder in the cab has not yet occurred.
This means that the [Diamond Star] still has the possibility of turning around.
The only problem is how to control the [Diamond Star].
In this regard, Xia En already had a bold idea in his mind.
Along the way, the crew members were all surprised when they saw Xia En rushing towards the cab and wanted to stop him.
No matter what, the rules of [Diamond Star] are always here.
Even Captain Luther hesitated when faced with Shane's request, let alone these uninformed ordinary crew members.
"Sir, what do you want to do!"
"Your Highness Xia En, please stop!"
Amidst a burst of exclamations, Xia En's steps did not stop at all, and he rushed forward with Joey.
Every sailor who stood in front of him was knocked unconscious by his palm.
With Xia En's current strength and body control, he can naturally do this easily.
In fact, the fastest way is to kill all the way, but even in this constantly circulating space, Xia En does not want to do this.
His figure shuttles through the shadows from time to time, at an incredibly fast speed. Such reckless and crude behavior naturally caused an uproar on the Diamond Star.
"Enemy attack!!!"
With a long cry, more and more sailors are coming in this direction.
The proportion of secret travelers among them is also increasing rapidly.
On this [Diamond Star], there are an extremely large number of high-level mystics, otherwise they would not be able to compete head-on with the fog monsters in the fog.
If they hadn't hit an iceberg in the fog, the fog monster might not have been able to do anything to them.
In just a moment, Xia En noticed several extremely threatening existences in the aura coming from nearby.
Xia En narrowed his eyes slightly and sped up his movements.
What he wants is to temporarily seize control of the [Diamond Star], not to become an enemy of everyone on the ship.
Fortunately, he was not far from the cab at this time.
With a "bang", Xia En knocked open the cab door.
Facing the stunned sailors in the room who didn't know what was going on, he pointed at the first mate Femia and said.
“Femia, something happened to you!”
“It’s not too late to surrender now.”
Femia: “???”
< br>
No matter how smart the first officer was, he never expected such a change, and he didn't understand how Xia En found out that he had evil intentions.
To his ears, the previous commotion outside the door was undoubtedly directed at him!
Now that he has been exposed, Femia simply stopped pretending, sneered, and attacked the nearest second officer.
“Femia, what are you doing!”
“Subdue him!”
Femia looked ferocious: "Even if I die, I will take you with me!"
Suddenly, the two groups of people used their own methods and fought together.
While the two sides were fighting, Shane and Joey quietly came to the rudder of the [Diamond Star].
To be honest, Shane is no stranger to this rudder.
Because on the later projected ship [Diamond Star], he had personally touched it countless times.
However, the rudder in front of me is obviously brand new, and it also has a strange atmosphere.
Although there is a field of [Great Dark Sky] surrounding it, protecting Shane and Joey from the melee.
But Xia En knew that there was not much time left for him.
Not to mention the several secret travelers who rushed to the cabin quickly, the time of that dull explosion was already very close.
Whether we can break the cycle may depend on this try!
So Xia En no longer hesitated and firmly grasped the steering wheel in front of him.
Seeing this scene, the sailors in the cab looked strangely and even found it a little funny.
What does this luxuriously dressed young man want to do?
Want to control the [Diamond Star] by just one person?
Doesn’t he even have this bit of common sense?
For the average captain, just controlling the steering wheel is not enough to quickly turn a large ship like the Diamond Star.
It also needs to be matched with the adjustment of the sail angle, the assistance of the corner sail and the side sail.
It can be said that this is a complex task that requires the cooperation of many sailors.
Otherwise, why would the [Diamond Star] bring so many sailors?
But Xia En is different!
With [Captain's Majesty], he can control a ship with just one person!
Of course, Xia En's [Captain's Prestige] will not take effect on unfamiliar ships.
But don’t forget, before entering this strange space, Shane was already the owner of the projected [Diamond Star]!
They have already established an inseparable connection!
That’s why Xia En made this seemingly absurd attempt.
Of course, Xia En is also betting that this big ship will still regard him as the captain!
The next moment.
Boom! ! !
There was a loud bang in my mind.
Xia En's will spread quickly to all parts of the ship, like a raging tsunami, and the stormy waves swept invisibly.
However, it is different from the extremely smooth feeling when controlling the [Black Swan].
Xia En could feel obvious resistance when in contact with various components in the [Diamond Star], like gears that had not been lubricated for a long time.
It seems like... they are silently rejecting their own contact.
But even so, after two breaths.
Xia En's will is still carried out in every corner of the ship.
At this moment, [Diamond Star] seemed to have become an extension of his body.
Even in the very deep place of the ship, Xia En still vaguely sensed a sleeping consciousness.
Come to think of it, that is the soul of the [Diamond Star] ship!
But at this time, Xia En had no time to communicate with the ship spirit.
The moment he took control of the ship, he immediately began to turn the ship's bow and move in the opposite direction.
Because the U-turn happened so quickly, the huge hull of the [Diamond Star] tilted quite a bit, as if it was drifting at sea.
Fortunately, this ship is, after all, the crystallization of the wisdom of this era.
After a brief tilt, the balance was quickly restored.
But the passengers on the boat couldn't help but stagger around, and some fell to the ground, causing a huge commotion.
The crew members in the cab looked at Xia En in disbelief.
Just one person can make a ship like the Diamond Star make such an incredible turn.
Before today, they would not have believed that this would happen.
Xia En couldn't help but let out a long breath.
He doesn’t care about the reactions of other people on the ship. Since the [Diamond Star] has deviated from its original trajectory, it should have escaped the ending of hitting an iceberg, right?
Soon, a group of people rushed to the cab first.
The leaders were Edward and Captain Luther.
Edward looked at Xia En in surprise: "Your Highness Xia En, what happened?"
"Why did you do this?"
After experiencing the excitement just now Xia En was also a little tired and too lazy to explain to these NPCs.
But just now.
Bang!
The explosive sound came from deep inside the cabin again.
Hearing this voice, Xia En's face suddenly changed and he realized a possibility.
“No way?”
Not long after, the surging white light came again...
……
……
After the white light.
Xia En took a longer time to wake up from his hazy state again.
He frowned, his heart full of confusion: "What's going on?"
"Why did the white light still appear after I obviously changed the direction and avoided the fog and iceberg?"
After thinking for a moment, Xia En came up with an incredible guess.
"Could it be that the iceberg was not the real cause of the destruction of the [Diamond Star]?"
This conjecture made Xia En's face look extremely ugly.
Because this means that all his previous efforts may have been in vain.
"But if the culprit is not an iceberg, what could it be?"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Xia En's mind.
"White light! By the way, that white light!"
