The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 102: Sailor’s Message (Part 1)


In that video, Hasegawa Kousaka slowly recounted the past nearly half a month ago in a lifeless tone like a living dead.

Gu Tie watched the entire video quietly, without moving. The three-dimensional projection finally freezes a distorted smile on the face of the lunatic.

"Don't worry, don't worry, think about what's going on..." Gu Tie pressed his temple, feeling that his forehead was wet with cold sweat.

That was not long after "World" started operations. The Japanese was in the North African base camp of "100 Million Broken Jade" in Algeria. He had just led a team to complete an operation and was in a period of rest.

According to Hasegawa’s narrative, during the last operation they captured a senior engineer from the gtc communications office and cruelly executed the engineer after filming the demonstration videotape. During the torture, the gtc engineer confessed that he was currently engaged in the operational support of the "World" project and claimed that "this is a game that can truly change the world".

Hasegawa Kousaka is a fanatical ipu molecule, but he does not reject all kinds of tricks and tricks relying on quantum computers. He is very interested in the two sets of implanted clients he got from engineers, and he has repeatedly confirmed Under the premise of no safety hazard, the Japanese found an insignificant subordinate, injected a chip into his medulla oblongata, connected to the Genesis network through a satellite antenna, and logged into the game.

One day later, the soldier reported on the magical experience for 24 hours, "It's a real world, leader. It's terrible, and people can't tell the truth from the illusion.... This must be a gtc conspiracy, to conquer. The conspiracy of ignorant gamers all over the world is the devil! Izan’s destiny is up! Leader, I can’t hold on any longer, please help me dig out this evil thing from my body..."

"Sorry, Izaki-kun, the implanted chip cannot be taken out. We don't have such equipment." Hearing the soldiers' complaints, Hasegawa dispelled his doubts.

The next day, a soldier named Izaki committed suicide by Caesarean section in front of the Shinto shrine on the North African base. Hasegawa held a grand funeral for him, claiming that the soldier gave his life to resist the evil invasion of GTC. The death of the soldier made him a little happy. What could be more touching than loyalty? ——Although stupid, but loyal, he is a perfect soldier.

That night, the lunatic implanted himself with a client chip with a syringe and landed in the world.

The identity assigned to him by "Genesis" is a subject of the small principality "Bodian" on the western continent. The Principality of Bodian is one of the many vassal states of the Kingdom of St. Boren. Its area is so small that it usually appears as a dot on the map. Instead, there is only one city in the country: Bodian City. After the fall of the Kingdom of St. Boren, the Principality of Bourtian surrendered to the invincible cavalry of Emperor Yelizaweitan and survived, and was subsequently renamed the province of Bourtian of the Zawi Empire.

The Japanese entered the "world" and found that he was the son of a wealthy businessman with the title of baron in Portion. There was a large estate outside Portion. The change of power did not affect the baron’s official career. On the contrary, in Zha When the Uyghur Empire took over the small duchy, the baron spent a lot of money to obtain a post as the chief security officer of the province of Portián in the interim government. Born in such a family, the eighteen-year-old rich son naturally lives in peace and care, and has nothing to do except spend money.

Like most descendants, the first thing Hasegawa Kousaka did after acquiring his new identity was to try to figure out the pattern of the entire continent and the world, and to learn the most basic geography, history, and scientific knowledge. What is happier than most descendants is that as long as he sits in a garden chair and snaps his fingers, the servants will deliver the ink-scented books one by one. The Japanese took only two days. , It is clear that the most desired basic information.

Then he started to feel bored.

This is a normal emotion. Everyone who comes to another world yearns for a vigorous adventure, even those who live an adventurous life every day in real life are no exception.

However, it is completely different from the basic concept of "game" in that all characters in the "world" are part of normal social relations. No one walks around with the yellow task symbol. If you are content with the status quo A tobacco-growing farmer will still be a tobacco-growing farmer when he is old, on the premise that this descendant has the patience for thirty years to visit the world uninterruptedly to experience the life of growing tobacco.

The lunatic Hasegawa is not a person who is content with the status quo. He created some interesting little games for himself, such as killing all the cows in the ranch overnight, and completely stripping the cow's skeleton, leaving a soft corpse that seemed unharmed. The terrified baron invited the priest of the Anglican Church to perform the exorcism ceremony. Of course, the result of the exorcism is the bloodier game content of the Japanese.

After a few days of this, Hasegawa felt bored again. He didn't want to be trapped in a boring manor anymore, so he sneaked into the city of Portion and wandered around the tavern every day, hoping to find something more exciting. Thus, the nightmare began.

At the time of the narration, the leader of "100 Million Broken Jade" entered a four-minute pause. He stared at the camera blankly, and unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes with his bleeding fingers. Finally, his voice was trembling, and he continued to talk to himself.

On this day, Hasegawa Kousaka met a man in a tavern.

It is customary for the Japanese to sit in the corner of the tavern, slowly sipping sparkling wine, observing every new guest. The lunatic’s fingers kept shaking nervously, and his patience had reached its limit. If nothing attracted his attention, Hasegawa decided to draw out the enchanted dagger, slaughter every man in the tavern, and then pulled the beautiful waitress in. Cellar, do some interesting things.

Although he understands that there are mysterious spiritual powers in this world, such as magic and mental power, the experienced ipu leader believes more in his fighting skills. If he kills an enemy, he can accumulate a little experience point. Hasegawa Koizaka is in reality. The level in the world has long been as high as the cloud.

At this moment, a guy in a shabby dark blue sailor jacket walked into the tavern, sat at the bar, and ordered a large glass of the cheapest spirits.

He was talking about something with the bartender, and suddenly found his canvas belt loosened, "Troublesome guy, I need to tighten it this time." The sailor murmured, pulling on both ends of the belt and looping it around. A few laps, pulled vigorously, and fastened firmly.

A light of excitement appeared in Hasegawa's eyes. The method of tying sailors is the "double fisherman knot" in the sailor knot. Every mountaineer and seaman is familiar with the basic knotting method, but the problem is that it should not exist in the "world".

After several days of crazy reading, the Japanese had a basic judgment about the alien world: the language and characters he came into contact with in daily life were all Japanese, but the Bodians called it "the lingua franca of the West", IQ At one hundred and sixty, Hasegawa immediately understood that this is a real-time translation made by a quantum computer based on the native language of the descendant when neural signals are transmitted.

In addition, this world is based on fantasy. All aspects of race, clothing, architecture, daily necessities, etc. are inseparable from the basic prototypes of the real world, but all non-material products here have Originality, music, paintings, sculptures, and even folk proverbs, stories, and customs can’t find a correspondence in reality. Sometimes Hasegawa even has an illusion that this world actually exists in the universe. In the long history, These real souls have created real non-material products.

In any case, the Japanese believe that the independence of the "world" is unquestionable, at least for all the characters in the "world", it is original, reasonable, and credible.

So the moment he saw the sailor knot, the lunatic concluded that this ragged, alcoholic sailor, like him, was a descendant—a player from the real world.

Hasegawa calmly finished his glass of wine, walked through the lobby with a wooden wine glass, and came to the bartender: "Hey, give me another glass of sparkling wine."

"Immediately. The third cup today. Good spirits, sir." The bartender took the wine glass and placed it under the vat, opened the bridle, poured half a glass of wine, and waited for the golden bubbles to subside.

In this gap, Hasegawa leaned on the counter and said to the sailor inadvertently: "I heard they put honey in sparkling wine. —Can you believe it? Honey! That's a girl's thing! But whatever Well, today’s wine is extraordinarily sweet. I think I can bear it."

The sailor stared at the dripping wine and swallowed: "Isn't it, girly stuff, man."

"Try it for me, did they mess up." Before the sailor could express his attitude, Hasegawa took the full glass and placed it in front of the sailor. He ordered another glass of wine and took the lead in taking a big sip. The sailor raised his cup with some shame, and took two sips, with a relaxed expression on his face.

The down-and-out sailor was bought off by his little actions, and he was relieved of his suspicion. After a few glasses of wine, Hasegawa proposed to go to the hotel where he was staying and continue to have a drink. The sailor happily agreed.

The two men walked out of the tavern and entered a dark alley. There were no pedestrians in front or behind. Hasegawa quietly pressed the handle of the dagger with his hand and said, "How long have you been in? Have you encountered any interesting things?"

"What did you say?" The sailor stopped and glanced at him in confusion, then opened his mouth in shock: "You are a descendant? Are you? A player?"

The madman smiled and said: "My answer depends on your answer."

"Oh my God, that's great. —I've been waiting for you." The sailor laughed and said something that the Japanese couldn't guess anyway.

Until the two walked back to the hostel, Hasegawa Kousaka's right hand kept pressing the hilt of the knife. He wanted to complete a secret murder in the alley: all account roles in the world are unique, and there is no Second life. Killing a player is equivalent to killing a real soul. As long as you think about this scenario, the Japanese will become agitated with excitement.

But the sailor actually said that he has been waiting for him since he entered the world. The sailor walked into this tavern every afternoon for two consecutive weeks, asked for a glass of strong wine, pretended to be loose in his belt, and tied a conspicuous double fisherman's knot. This was how he identified waiting objects. Today, Hasegawa finally appeared. Although the sailor didn't know what the appearance and identity of the person he was waiting for before, the question was the clearest sign.
