I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 704 Shock Again

However, if he wants to bring it up, he might need to find a more suitable excuse.

"However, it seems that the protagonists of those two stories were the same person, and that author only wrote a small part of it before stopping the book, which ended there."

"Why does that guy, just like my best friend, always seem to skip updating?"

In the end, Miss Hugh even seemed a little annoyed.

She could have easily relied on this book or even just more information about the sheriff, but instead, she abruptly stopped there.

"Perhaps that gentleman simply created a work of art out of boredom."

Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was extremely pleasant, Mr. Abdul, who was standing on the other side, suddenly became serious.

"The next level is the limit I've explored. I hope we can get a good result."

He couldn't easily explore the 7th floor on his own.

Even with the two main characters added, he felt the chances were slim.

The seventh floor had been his nightmare for many years, and the repeated disappointments had made him lose much hope for this exploration.

Let's continue.

Although Chu Yang knew what Mr. Abdul was thinking, he did not urge the three of them to quickly step onto the passage.

Soon the scene before their eyes began to flicker, and this time they found themselves in a rather dimly lit room.

Chu Yang's feet touched the ground, and he could easily feel the unreal, swaying sensation.

"It seems we're on the deck of a ship this time."

Chu Yang's thoughts raced rapidly.

Just as he was preparing for his next move, a whooshing sound suddenly came from behind, as if something was coming toward his neck.

Chu Yang's gaze turned very serious. He immediately dodged the attack by turning to the side and then kicked backward with all his might.

This was the best way he could think of to deal with the enemy in a short period of time.

Fortunately, he succeeded; his kick sent a dark figure crashing to the ground.

In an instant, Chu Yang activated his Pure White Eyes and immediately deciphered the guy's information.

This is a sailor who spends most of his time at sea. His clothes look tattered, and he smells of the sea.

Chu Yang quickly stepped forward and used his knee to press against the guy's neck, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

Chu Yang's right hand moved swiftly, disarming the sailor of all his weapons, including a longsword and a dagger hidden at his waist.

After finishing all this, Chu Yang looked back and saw that Miss Xiu had also subdued the invading enemy.

Soon a gunshot rang out; it turned out that Mr. Abdul from the other side had shot and killed the person who attacked him without hesitation.

They even went up and stomped on it twice.

It was obvious that he had been terrified.

Why did you attack us?

Chu Yang asked sternly, but did not receive the expected answer. Instead, he heard a sound like a wild beast roaring in his ear.

As he looked closely, he realized that the sailor he was pinning down did not look like a normal person at all. His eyes were bloodshot and there were many bulging veins on his skin.

"This guy seems to be a rabid madman, or rather, he's no longer human."

Miss Hugh's voice was serious, and her eyes were full of vigilance.

"This is my first time in this kind of environment, and I've never seen humans who look so strange."

Mr. Abdul's tone was very solemn.

There's a note there.

Chu Yang clenched his right fist, easily knocking the sailor under him unconscious, and quickly walked to the table not far to his right.

Miss Hugh hurriedly followed, while Chu Yang had already picked up the paper and clearly read the Fergus secret message written on it.

"Find out what happened on this ship."

By the end, even Chu Yang's brows were furrowed into a deep frown.

The hints on the note were very simple and easy to understand, but it was clear that the task was difficult to complete.

Even Miss Hugh's mood became less cheerful.

After all, all of this means they might have a hard time getting through the maze on the 7th floor.

"You'll get used to it. The 7th floor has been giving me a hard time for a long time. This time, it's just that you two have been added to the mix."

Seeing the change in Chu Yang and the other man's emotions, Mr. Abdul became much more relaxed.

Even a meticulous detective like Chu Yang couldn't easily see through this layer of the maze, so it's even more understandable that he himself was troubled for so long.

"Mr. Abdul, you must have been to a similar scene before."

"Do you think it would be feasible if we waited for the ship to dock and then went to the authorities to resolve the issue, or if we waited for time to pass and for the answer to reveal itself?"

Chu Yang turned to look at Mr. Abdul beside him.

Without knowing the details of the situation, he proposed the most conservative approach.

"Impossible. The maze on the 7th floor is extremely difficult. Doing nothing and just waiting here is absolutely not going to work."

"Do you remember that little guy from the murder scene on the previous level?"

"I had thought about it before, since that kid's reasoning ability is so strong, we might as well just wait for him to point out the murderer and the mission will be automatically terminated."

"But if that guy beats me to it, my mission will fail immediately."

"The corresponding 7th layer also has such restrictions."

Mr. Abdul's voice was very firm, and it was clear that he had also suffered from such thinking.

Just as the three hesitated, a sound of crying and tearing clothes suddenly came from afar.

Miss Hugh's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

She had heard such sounds far too often outside the bar, and immediately a scene of a man abusing a woman appeared in her mind.

Chu Yang also frowned, and the three of them quickly headed towards the source of the sound.

Mr. Abdul gripped his pistol tightly, his eyes becoming very sharp.

This scene caught Chu Yang's attention, proving that this Mr. Abdul had quite a few victims under his command.

Otherwise, he could never have developed such a gaze.

When they turned a corner, they witnessed an extremely infuriating scene on the deck.

A couple, who appeared to be together, were in dire straits.

The man was already dead, pinned to a sideboard by two longswords, his blood flowing everywhere.

A woman is being pinned down by two sailors, who are frantically tearing at her clothes.

Seeing this, Mr. Abdul frowned; he was even unwilling to waste bullets on such scum.

Miss Hugh stepped forward without hesitation, picked up her longsword, and easily pierced their necks.

The smell of blood filled the entire area, yet this scene made Chu Yang and the other two breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the woman on the ground did not climb out immediately. Instead, she paused for several seconds before running towards the man whose body had been pierced by a common thorn.

Chu Yang keenly noticed that a hint of confusion and hesitation seemed to flash in the woman's eyes.

"What's going on now? Could it be that Emperor Roselle left some bugs when he created this scene?"

Just as Chu Yang was about to speak, the woman in front of him threw herself onto her male companion, letting out a hysterical wail.

"No! How could you just leave me like this..."

Miss Hugh's eyes also began to turn red, and even a little mist appeared in them.

She had been through similar situations before, and this was the kind of scene she couldn't stand the most.

Chu Yang immediately coughed lightly, changing the subject:

"How did it go, Xiu? Your actions just now were quite astute. Does this mean that the restrictions on extraordinary abilities have been lifted on this level?"

Miss Hugh nodded heavily, though he still seemed somewhat downcast.

For Chu Yang, even if he didn't have the ability to suppress non-reversal this time, it wouldn't have much effect on him.

After all, as extraordinary individuals in the Reader sequence, they simply cannot possess sufficient combat power in the early stages.

Moreover, even on the 8th floor, as long as his pure white eyes cannot be concealed, he can already demonstrate the unique abilities of an extraordinary being.

So even if he tries to enter the maze again, he can still get ahead of the other challengers.

Even if the crime scene is completely unfamiliar to him, his ability to solve the case will surpass everyone else's.

"Stop! What are you trying to do!"

Suddenly, a stern congratulatory voice rang out, and someone quickly stepped forward and kicked the dagger out of the woman's hand.

The tip of the dagger had already slightly slid open the surface of her stomach.

After experiencing all of this, it was clear that this woman no longer wanted to live.

"How could you end your life so easily? You should know that this man risked his life to protect you."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to survive, otherwise his sacrifice will be wasted."

Miss Hugh offered her earnest advice.

The woman was very patient with her savior.

She seemed to have truly been persuaded by Miss Hugh.

"You're right, I must try my best to live on, and I will personally send all the beasts here to hell."

The woman spoke through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with hatred, but her emotions gradually calmed down.

Once a person has a new direction to strive for, the potential they can unleash will be beyond everyone's imagination.

Seeing that the situation was gradually improving, Chu Yang stepped forward to inquire.

"What on earth happened here? Why have these people become like wild beasts, and so insane?"

"Didn't you notice? They were all genuinely insane; only a few were lucid."

The woman looked at Chu Yangyi with surprise before beginning to explain in detail.

According to him, the ship had been out of port for more than a week.

The passengers on this large ship were already quite wealthy and held prestigious positions.

A few days ago, when they woke up from their sleep, everything had changed; most of them had gone mad, and very few were lucid.

She and her male companion were among the few who remained clear-headed, yet they ultimately became the targets of this mob's covetousness towards me.

Seemingly noticing the confusion and bewilderment in Chu Yang and the other two's eyes, the woman continued to explain.

"Although this may sound unbelievable, it is really true."

"However, before we fell asleep that day, something very unusual happened."

"We've encountered the infamous King of the Western Seas."

"That guy looted the ship, but left us enough supplies for survival and very little valuables."

"But you guys should have experienced this too, right? You couldn't have forgotten that, could you?"

The woman slowly and imperceptibly stepped back, seemingly sensing that Chu Yang and the other two were also acting strangely.

"Of course we know that, after all, it's something we all went through together."

"So, after that incident, everyone on the ship went mad and started indiscriminately slaughtering everything in their path?"

Chu Yang's question made the woman in front of him look even more surprised.

However, she still patiently explained.

"Where are you hiding? How come you didn't even see those hellish scenes?"

"My husband and I were hiding on the deck, and we saw the once polite crew members start tearing apart any living thing they could see like madmen."

"Many passengers' bodies were torn into pieces, and some even began to devour the intestines and internal organs with their bare hands."

The woman seemed to recall the previous scene, and she immediately began to tremble, her eyes revealing extreme fear.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang was already certain.

What they experienced this time was an extremely heinous event that happened in history.

Miss Xiu understood Chu Yang's thoughts and immediately turned her gaze towards him.

"Chu Yang, in which period of history did this happen? It sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at all."

As for Mr. Abdul, who was standing to the side, he was even more confused.

He didn't even realize, like Miss Hugh, that this had actually happened.

"It's alright, none of that matters. The important thing is that I now know the real details of this matter."

Chu Yang said it with absolute certainty.

"Are you kidding me?"

Mr. Abdul was speechless again.

He hadn't even figured out the details of the matter, while Chu Yang had already gotten to the bottom of it.

Even if Manhattan students have strong reasoning abilities, they couldn't possibly be that strong.

"How is this kid's brain structured?"

If there weren't other people around, Abdul would have just wanted to rub his head hard with his fingers to clear his head.

So many years have passed, and he has become a genius, unlike others.

Compared to Chu Yang, he seemed more like the underachiever he used to despise! (End of Chapter)
