Since the accidental car accident three months ago, Weizard has lost the biological instinct of "sleep"...
However, as the saying goes: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other!"
While Weizard became a "sleepless", his brain also had an unknown change!
After repeated self-tests, Weizard found that he has extraordinary talents in several different fields such as memory, mathematics, music, and logic.
For example, when Weizard entered the trial mission scene and met the four "strangers" Saul, Joan, Lena, and Norton, he obtained a lot of "interesting" information from the behavior of several people. .
Ballerina Lena Rodney, although "she" called herself a pure man in reality, Weizard did not find any "a sense of disobedience" in "she"...
This shows what
Maybe "she" is lying, maybe "she" is a man with a feminine heart in reality, or even a "female gun"!
Engineer Norton, his poor speech and sensitivity to the word "idiot" indicate that he is often mocked in reality, but he can only deal roughly with it and has a relatively dull personality.
The retired military doctor Thor, the upright sitting posture, the calm, very friendly performance, and the implied majesty of his body, all show that he is a person with a certain social status in reality.
As for the priest Joan David, although he only spoke when he introduced himself, his silent and attempt to "pass by" means that he is a man of action.
… In the bar room, the lights flickered strangely.
After the engineer Norton made a concession, the five players who participated in the trial mission scene finally reached a temporary agreement in thought.
"Hurry up! Let's go now..."
Saul, a retired military doctor, put the wiped monolithic eyes on the bridge of his nose and walked out of the bar room first. The others followed closely, and Weizard, who was carrying an unopened bottle of red wine in his hand, went away At the end of the crowd.
[Name: Burgundy Red Wine in 1914]
【Type: Consumables】
【Quality: Excellent】
【Function: Drinking】
[Special effect: promote blood circulation, increase body temperature]
[Remarks: Wine is food**, the more you drink, the younger you are! 】
"The mosquito is small, but it's meat... It's always better than nothing!"
Weizard thought so.
Soon, the group of people passed through the fun-seeking crowd, along the passage in the cabin, and onto the deck of the large passenger ship Largoney Princess.
At this moment, the prompt sound of the game system sounded in everyone's ears in due course:
【The main mission has been triggered...】
[Task Name: Death Liner]
【Difficulty of task: E+】
[Task content: Survive at least 30 minutes. 】
[Task description: Thirty-six minutes later, Princess Largoni will collide with another cargo ship... Please be prepared to survive this shipwreck! 】
Although everyone knows that the game in Nightmare Paradise is definitely not so "fun", when they actually feel the threat of death, emotional fluctuations are inevitable.
"This mission reminds me of the Titanic..."
Weizard glanced at the mission description, then closed the unreal game interface in front of him with his mind.
"They don't have the mental quality of yours..."
The retired military doctor Saul quickly returned to normal after a slight loss of consciousness. When he heard Weizard's self-talk, he said: "Mr. Wizard, aren't you scared at all?"
"Fear?"
Weizard said in a lazy tone: "If a person already knows that he is terminally ill... It is only a matter of time before he will die sooner or later."
"Don't give up! Since we can all be exposed to such surreal things as'Nightmare Paradise', maybe your problem can be solved."
The retired military doctor Sol comforted and said, "Look... how real this trial scene we are in is! I don't know if it is a parallel space or a dream?"
"Dreamland?"
Weizard's eyes lit up, "Yes! The games in Nightmare Paradise may be real'nightmares'... If this is the case, won't my own problems be easily solved?"
Just as Weizard and Saul were chatting and waiting for the others to return to normal, a strong man in uniform and two epaulettes walked over with a few sailors.
"This lady, and gentlemen..."
The second officer asked politely: "Do you need me to help you?"
"Thank you! My companions and I came to the deck to breathe..."
Saul, the retired military doctor, replied equally politely.
"OK."
Although the second mate with doubts could not understand everyone's behavior, he nodded and promptly said before leaving: "The night wind on the deck is very cold, don't stay too long!"
After this episode, the other three people besides Weizard and Thor, to be precise, should be Lena and Norton (the priest Joan David did not respond) also returned to normal.
"There is not much time left for us to prepare..."
The retired military doctor Sol looked at the old pocket watch on his body, "It is 1:38 in the morning, and there are only more than 20 minutes left before the shipwreck happened."
"We... what shall we do?"
Engineer Norton Liushen said without a master: "I can't swim!"
"Yeah, yeah! I can't swim either..."
The ballerina Lena also panicked: "Mr. Saul, do you have any good suggestions?"
Sol tidyed up the gray hair that was tossed by the night wind, and calmly said: "From the current weather, the water temperature in this area should be between 3-8 degrees Celsius... This means that diving to escape is unrealistic! "
"We can't survive for half an hour in the cold water, so it doesn't matter whether we swim or not... Because of time, what we have to do now is to collect life jackets and find life rafts as soon as possible."
"... Then, what are we waiting for? Everyone hurry up and find them separately!" Norton yelled anxiously.
"not that simple!"
Weizard, with red wine in his hand, said in a lazy voice: "The life jacket and the life raft are on the deck. They are easy to find... But what reason are you going to use to get them?"
"Are you going to tell the crew directly that we are going to be in a shipwreck soon?"
Weizard shook his fingers and said, "NONONO! Doing this will only make things worse!"
"Neither does this, nor does that work! Then what do you say?"
Norton, an emotional engineer, flushed.
"One word... Wait!"
The corner of Weizard's mouth was curved. "We are waiting for the shipwreck near the lifeboat, and we will try to board the life raft as soon as possible."
"Follow me!" Weizard motioned everyone to follow him.
"Where are you going?" Norton asked in a daze.
"Fool!"
Wei Zede, who had already stepped forward and walked forward, said smoothly: "Of course he is going to the life raft..."
"Damn it! I said it a long time ago... I'm not a fool!!"
At this moment, Norton's performance is like a cat with its tail trampled on.
"Mr. Wizade, do you know the location of the life raft?"
Lena, the ballerina following Weizard, asked curiously: "... How did you know?"
"Oh, on the way to the deck, I saw a schematic diagram of this passenger ship at the corner of the cabin passage..."
Weizard replied indifferently: "Princess Largoni is 167 meters long. It has a width of 20 meters, a displacement of 20,000 tons, a steam engine power of 18,500 horsepower, five decks, a capacity of 2,000 people, and a normal speed of up to 20 knots... There are 36 small life rafts on board, which can carry 1,860 people. They are allocated on the decks on both sides of the passenger ship and need to be operated by special lifting equipment."
"Look! As long as we walk along the deck and turn a turn in front, we can see the operating platform where the life raft is parked..."
Weizard finished what he had said in one breath, his enchanting memory stunned everyone, and left an unusually deep impression.
"This this… "
Seeing Weizard's plain expression, Lena only felt that she had lived in vain for so many years... It's really better than others and maddening!
"Arrived!"
Outside the door of the telegraph room of the passenger ship, where the life raft was placed on the deck, Weizard stopped.
"There are less than ten minutes left!"
Saul said in a deep voice, "I hope everything will go well..."
The fog is getting thicker and thicker.
The people standing on the deck noticed that their field of vision had dropped to the extreme, and they couldn't see anything from 30 meters away. The sea that was barely discernible turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.
At this time, the siren of the Princess Largoni also sounded from time to time, and the speed of the ship seemed to have dropped a lot.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Three short whistle sounds suddenly sounded, causing everyone's hearts to raise their throats.
"It's about to start..."
Weitzer said in a flat manner in German: "On the sea, the meaning of three piccolo is: the ship officially reverses or has a tendency to reverse."
As soon as the voice fell, a huge ship with red and green lights revealed its hideous figure from the thick fog.
