Chapter 370: Chapter 367: "Are You Interested in My Story?" (Extra Chapter for Alliance Hierarch "Xiao Su Su")Hearing Su Mingâanâs words, Boris glowed like a child receiving affirmation, his face flushing red.
Ignoring the sword pressed against his neck, he stretched out both hands, eager to grasp Su Mingâanâs shoulders.
"--Youâre finally interested in my story, I..."
"Bang!"
Su Mingâan kicked him, and Borisâs body slammed against the deep blue shield, forcing a mouthful of blood out of him.
But Boris seemed not to get angry, his eyes still sparkling:
"Itâs a beautiful legend from my hometown..."
"Are you sure?" Su Mingâan was somewhat surprised.
"Really, I swear." Boris wiped the blood from his lips: "I especially like the stories from my hometown, so Iâve written them down."
"Then continue." Su Mingâan said.
Borisâs head shot up suddenly.
In his eyes was full disbelief.
"...Will you really listen to them all?" he asked.
"As many as you have, thatâs how many you should tell." Su Mingâan said.
Under Su Mingâanâs coercion, Boris excitedly spilled out all the stories from his hometown like pouring beans.
Stories like "the young bride buried in the earth," "Little Red Riding Hood of massacre and looting," "the clown wearing a human skin mask," none of his so-called "beautiful" stories were suitable for children, all of them being dark fairy tales each more gruesome than the last, capable of giving adults nightmares.
The reason Su Mingâan let Boris tell stories was mainly because his earlier "Mermaid and Captain" story was almost identical to the one involving Su Rin and the mermaid.
Hence, he deliberately listened to all of Borisâs stories.
But now, it seemed to be just a coincidence.
He mentally noted Borisâs stories and then pressed him for the reason he wanted to attack this ship.
"Thereâs a reason I want this ship," Boris said softly, "Number One Player, do you know? Iâve been to The Great Library once, and the information there told me that the Maritime Banquet might just be a scam--I investigated the Royal City, inside the Royal City, many girls living with the same appearance. I communicated with my dear believers and learned about Pulayaâs history; then, my dear noble friend also told me some secrets--Su Mingâan, Su Rin, I remember your names, you might be the core character of this instance."
"I always am." Su Mingâan said, "Tell me something useful."
"In a residentâs album, I saw that the princess sixty years ago looked exactly the same as todayâs princess," Boris sighed, seemingly very sad, "Why is that... Considering there are many girls in the Royal City with identical appearances, my guess is that this princess is using the lives of these girls to extend her own life..."
Su Mingâan was somewhat surprised.
It seemed he really shouldnât underestimate these players.
Even if Borisâs conclusion was slightly off, it wasnât far from the truth.
"Why does the princess need to extend her life? I surmise, for a royal, the urgent need to extend life is either for her sea monster soul or for clinging to power," Boris said, "And I questioned an old sailor, who said that their former captain, the great World-saving Hero Su Rin, during his youth, met a beautiful sea monster and made a deal with it..."
"..." The sword in Su Mingâanâs hand trembled slightly.
He hadnât expected this matter to be dug up by Boris; he had learned of it only from Su Rinâs Memory Stone.
"Moreover, I have entered his underground chamber when the Pope was not around and discovered that the so-called letters from Cloud City were not written by a Deity, but carved onto a stele by the Pope himself," Boris said. "Thus, I gradually came to a conclusionâthere is no Deity in Yun Shang City, and itâs a person with the power of Sea Monsters who has fabricated such a scene to make people believe that Deities exist in this world, thereby perpetuating their rule.
Later, I found out it was you who is Su Rin, and you had just returned from the Yate Empire, so Su Rin can be ruled out. The real mastermind behind the scenes must be Princess Tulip. In fact, there is no such thing as a Maritime Banquet dedicated to a Deity; itâs just a competitive slaughter she created to concoct a hoax. Therefore, I wish for a ship, a ship that can keep me away from the strife, so that even if there is a problem with the Maritime Banquet, I can still protect myself."
Su Mingâan did not expect Boris to be able to deduce this far.
Actually, what Boris said was very close to the truth.
The deal between Su Rin and the Sea Monsters, the Airship story from over sixty years ago in Pulaya, Princess Tulipâs secret of eternal life, the forgery of the letters from Cloud City, all had been guessed correctly by Boris.
...Only, unfortunately, this was a case of having all the right processes but the wrong conclusion.
Boris hadnât seen the Popeâs process of writing the letters, leading him to believe it was all the Popeâs doing.
Su Mingâan looked up to see Boris eyeing him eagerly, as if waiting for his praise.
"Su Mingâan, Number One Player," Boris stared at him, "Your eyes are telling me that I seem to have guessed correctly."
"How far have you progressed in your Perfect Pass?" Su Mingâan asked.
"80%," Boris answered obediently.
"It might stop there," Su Mingâan said.
If Boris truly wanted to Perfect Pass, then he was on the most difficult route imaginable.
Su Mingâan was forced by his identity as Su Rin to take this hardest of paths, which required uncovering all of Pulayaâs secrets. Boris, on the other hand, brought himself to this path, only to arrive at a completely wrong conclusion.
If he had done just a little bit of his own identity missions, it wouldnât be so difficult.
"Ah... why?" Boris looked into Su Mingâanâs eyes, "Then, Number One Player, can you tell me where I went wrong..."
"First of all, about the Pope, you didnât..." Su Mingâan began to speak, but then immediately shut his mouth.
His Mentality Points in his Bright State were too low, and he almost fell for Borisâs ploy. SŃarch* The NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Fortunately, the high Mentality Defense built into his Equipment warded off Borisâs Charm Skill, allowing him to come to his senses.
No wonder the man insisted on talking so much; it was all for this question.
As soon as he had Su Mingâanâs answer, once Borisâs body died, he could be reborn in another body and then fix his own mistakes.
...Even a top-ranked Player with a problem should not be underestimated.
"Goodbye."
Su Mingâan, having obtained the clue, didnât waste words with the other party and promptly beheaded him with a sword.
This time not even Equipment dropped; it seemed Borisâs Strength had indeed been greatly weakened.
He quickly searched the rest of the cabins, then prepared to head to what was known as The Great Library.
It was now 3:30 in the morning, with an hour and a half left until the next rollback. He had to try to find all the clues in one go.
As he passed by the second-floor cabins, he suddenly saw two figures standing on the outer deck, seemingly watching the snow.
