Chapter 233 [The Witch of Nirvana] and [Sea of ​​Nirvana]

While Shane was communicating with Joey, the [Black Swan] was also getting farther and farther away from the sea where the light group was blooming.

So, they don't know...

After a while, the dazzling light gradually subsided, revealing the original appearance of the pirate ship.

On the ship, the pirates controlled by [Grey Mask] all fell on the deck.

However, they did not die, but passed out.

When the pirates wake up, they will probably forget everything that happened before, and will only remember that a dazzling white light lit up in front of them.

Among the various pirates, the expressions on the faces of the five [Glow Guards] were as calm as ever, without any emotional changes.

If you look closely, you will find that these [Glow Guards] have always had a temperament that is different from ordinary people.

Indifferent, cold and sacred.

In other words, some... inhuman characteristics.

Just like Joey when he was just promoted.

This is the impact of "divinity".

These [Glow Guards] have long decided to devote their lives to serving the great radiance, so they have sacrificed some of their human qualities.

For example, the emotions that humans should have.

Likewise, this is one of the costs of gaining strength.

At this time, the leading [Glow Guard] held the head of a gray-haired woman in his hand.

It was exactly the face shown by Jia Xiu, the Thousand Transformers.

[Thousand Changers] is still dead after all.

Although her methods were indeed weird and unpredictable, in front of the luxurious lineup of two legends and three sixth-level players, it could only allow her to survive for a few dozen seconds.

The guard opened the [Glory Crystal Mirror] with his other hand and reported without any fluctuation in tone.

"[Thousand Changers] Jiaxiu Rosas is dead."

"But the forbidden relic [Grey Mask] has disappeared and is suspected of escaping on its own. Please ask the Archbishop for instructions."

When the quality of the forbidden relic reaches a certain level, spiritual wisdom will be born.

Of course, this intelligence may not be too high. It is more likely to be like an ignorant cub that instinctively seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.

Therefore, we will use our own abilities to stay away from those enemies that are too powerful.

This is what the Glow Guards meant by "escaping on their own".

Soon, Archbishop Musa's voice sounded: "Our goal is only the [Thousand Changers]."

"It's just a forbidden relic, so don't pay too much attention to it."

For ordinary secret travelers, such a forbidden relic is undoubtedly a coveted treasure.

But for Hui Jiao, who has a profound foundation, it may not be so important.

Take this sudden "suppression of heresy" operation as an example.

The [Glow Guards] relied on a more mysterious and ancient relic to locate Jia Xiu's location and opened her box directly.

Moussa continued: "Now that the mission is completed, let's return as soon as possible."

"The war with the [Truth Society] is about to begin, and you will play a vital role in it."

Hearing this, the five Glow Guards responded: "Yes, Bishop!"

Immediately, a glorious door opened in front of them.

The five people stepped into it together and disappeared.

…

…

at the same time.

A corner of the cabin of the [Black Swan].

A gray-white dry mask lay there quietly, without even the strength to move.

The surface of the mask was full of cracks, as if it would completely shatter at any time, and the expression on it was even uglier than crying.

"Finally...escaped..."

[Grey Mask] Lingzhi, who was not yet mature, thought so, and felt a feeling of surviving a disaster.

Its last host was indeed dead, and could not be more dead.

And [Grey Mask] took advantage of the light group to light up and used his own ability to arrive in the cabin of the ship.

The reason why it is the [Black Swan] is, on the one hand, because the distance between the two ships is not too far.

On the other hand, it was because [Grey Mask] had left a secret mark on this ship.

This is the reason why [Thousand Changers] can confirm the location of [Black Swan].

Through the traction of this mark, [Gray Mask] was transported to the [Black Swan], but it also exhausted its remaining power.

However, [Gray Mask] was not panicked.

During its long "mask life", it actually encountered this situation many times.

As long as it meets a host, as long as it is a little greedy, it will not be able to help but wear this mask, and then step by step fall into the big network it weaves.

There is usually a price for using [Forbidden Relic], and the more powerful the relic, the more dangerous the price.

This is why they are called "taboo".

The price for using [Grey Mask] is soul.

As long as you wear this mask, it means that the "contract" has been reached.

Every time the subsequent host uses the ability of [Gray Mask], a part of the soul will be assimilated by the mask.

Until the end, the soul was completely swallowed by the [Gray Mask] and completely turned into a puppet of this relic.

As for the previous host [Thousand Changers], he actually used a very tricky method.

She chose to trade with [Grey Mask].

Every time the ability is used, [Thousand Transformers] will offer the souls of the people they transformed into as sacrifices.

Coupled with some means of checks and balances from the [Truth Society].

This allowed both parties to maintain a delicate balance and coexist in "harmony" for so long.

At the moment, getting rid of the previous host may not be a bad thing for [Grey Mask].

It is equivalent to releasing some of the constraints and limitations.

"……somebody is coming?"

[Grey Mask] Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blue figure flashing not far away.

It suddenly felt a little excited.

It doesn't want to stay in a dark cabin all its life.

Its original plan was to wait until it naturally accumulated some strength before sneaking onto the deck.

Then, as a matter of course, it was discovered and picked up by the captain of the ship.

[Gray Mask] has long observed that the captain of this ship is very extraordinary, especially the texture of his soul, which is completely different from ordinary people.

If the soul of an ordinary mystic is compared to a home-cooked dish, then Shane's soul is equivalent to a Manchu banquet prepared by a group of five-star chefs.

It exudes an extremely alluring fragrance all the time.

[Gray Mask] even had a premonition that if the captain's soul could be completely swallowed, it would even undergo a transformation like a rebirth.

Of course, if it is picked up by other crew members, [Gray Mask] will not be disappointed.

Each of the crew members on this ship has their own merits, and they are all excellent food for it.

At this time, the figure that appeared in the cabin was its first prey!

Soon, the man walked up to [Grey Mask].

Precisely.

Not walking, but floating?

Miss Ghost, who is wearing a blue robe and has a looming figure, is on daily patrol.

Due to the characteristics of the ghost, Vivian can ignore the walls and appear in any corner of the [Black Swan].

Xia En simply handed over the daily inspection and wheel-finding tasks to her, which was considered as finding something for her to do.

Vivian lowered her head and looked at the extra masks on the wooden board in surprise.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"It doesn't seem to have happened before, right?"

She was surprised, and [Grey Mask] was even more surprised.

"This little girl is a ghost?!"

[Grey Mask] has followed several hosts, including powerful ones like [Thousand Transformers].

In terms of knowledge, it should exceed 80% of the secret travelers on the Seven Seas, and they have naturally seen the existence of ghosts.

But the ghost in front of him was different from what he remembered.

Ghosts, as the remaining souls of life, are actually very unstable.

Many ghosts can only last for a few days, and some are crazy, with extremely chaotic memories and emotions, like a landmine that can explode at any time.

But right now, this blue-haired, blue-robed ghost's demeanor and tone were just like a normal person.

The soul is very complete.

However, this situation did not give [Gray Mask] too long to think about.

"Forget it, ghosts will be ghosts."

"Her soul might also be very delicious..."

So, [Grey Mask] whispered in a seductive voice: "Come on...come on..."

"Wear me and I will give you strength..."

Vivian was startled: "What is the sound? Is this mask talking?"

After a brief hesitation, Vivian picked up the mask.

"I don't think anyone wants it."

Unlike the other crew members on the ship, Vivian was forced to stay on the Black Swan - in order to escape from the cage-like island.

Her relationship with Shane is not as close as other crew members.

Although Xia En once said that when Vivian needs to take action, she cannot refuse.

But in fact, there has never been a situation critical enough for Vivian to take action. Her biggest achievement so far should be the plates of barbecue at the celebration banquet.

Therefore, even Xia En does not know her true combat power.

At this time, Vivian planned to study this strange mask herself before giving it to the captain.

And this is exactly what [Grey Mask] wants.

[Grey Mask] raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Young girl, wear me, and you will have the power to control people's hearts."

"Oh? So powerful? Is it true?"

Vivian didn't think much and directly covered her face with the [Grey Mask].

A burst of ecstasy immediately appeared on [Gray Mask]'s face.

It never expected that this ghost would be so easy to trick, so it foolishly put it on itself.

"In this case, the contract has been concluded..."

At this time, [Grey Mask] suddenly stopped talking.

"No...no! You..."

It suddenly realized that the soul in contact with it was by no means a sheep that it could snatch away, but...

A cold, deep, dead mass, like a thousand-year-old ice existence.

She was supposed to be sleeping.

And his touch made her wake up slightly.

In an instant, a force called "Nirvana" quickly infected [Gray Mask].

There are more and more cracks on the surface of this mask, and its expression is getting stiffer and stiffer.

[Gray Mask] finally felt a fear that was stronger than ever before——

It feels its power waning rapidly.

Its remaining soul is leaving its body as quickly as the ice and snow melt in spring!

Just like the hosts it swallowed in the past.

In the midst of great fear, a trembling voice finally came from under the mask: "You... you are not an ordinary ghost, what on earth are you..."

In the process, the mask gradually blended into Miss Ghost's face.

That tear mole has become a part of her.

Or maybe, there was a tear mole in the corner of her eye?

"Witch."

The ghost girl suddenly laughed: "Someone once called me...the witch of annihilation who controls the soul."

However, at this time, [Grey Mask] could no longer be heard.

Ten seconds later.

Vivian looked in front of her eyes, touched her face again, and said doubtfully.

"Where's my mask? Where's my big mask?"

She was not the type to get hung up on such trivial matters. After wondering for a while, she continued her patrol mission.

No one knows what happened deep in the cabin.

[Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] continue to move steadily towards their destination.

Seven days later.

The two ships sailed into unusual waters.

On the deck, Xia En looked around at the sea and clearly felt the change in the environment.

The sky in this sea area seems to be darker.

A gust of sea breeze blew, bringing a slight chill.

The color of the sea water is obviously darker. If you look closely, it is faintly red and black, as if a sea beast died here not long ago.

On the contrary.

Fish and even other marine life in the sea seem to have become scarce.

Not to mention the ships on the sea.

At a glance, the entire sea area gives people a desolate and dead feeling.

"This is the [Sea of ​​Annihilation]?"

Shane secretly marveled: "It feels a bit similar to the Dead Sea on Earth."

"But there are few traces of living things in the Dead Sea because of the extremely high salt concentration in the seawater. Here... is it because there is a special secret power in the seawater?"

"Could it be related to the country that existed here before the great flood?"

To be honest, Shane didn't originally have much interest in exploring history.

He is just a captain, not an archaeologist.

But after traveling back to the past [Emerald Island], he knew that if he wanted to change history, he had to understand it first.

Only then did I begin to pay attention to issues that had been ignored before.

"Mr. Captain!"

Joey stood beside him and asked curiously: "I heard that if you go east from the [Sea of ​​Annihilation], you will reach the [Ashless Sea]."

"What would the sea be like without sunlight?"

【Sunless Sea】

The last time Xia En heard this name was when he was communicating with the apostles during the promotion ritual.

This sea area actually still existed in the post-flood era.

Moreover, the secret treasure hidden in it has also attracted countless captains.

In fact, the reason why some ships appear in the [Sea of ​​Annihilation] is to pass through this sea area and reach the fertile [Sunless Sea].

Xia En was not ready to explore the [Sunless Sea] yet, but he silently wrote down the name as a backup option.

at this time.

Xian Ge, who was hovering over the Black Swan, landed and reported.

"Captain Shane, there is an unknown ship approaching from the northeast!"
