I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

"Are you scaring yourself?"

The bandaged man asked, but did not withdraw his hand. Instead, some kind of gray substance escaped from his fingers. The substance floated in the wind like grains of sand leaking from the fingers and spread towards the corridor.

If someone stands there, the smoke will reveal the other person's figure. This is the extraordinary power that the bandage people have developed in their long life.

However, what surprised the bandaged man was that even when the corridor was filled with gray smoke, no presence was revealed.

Only the boy in the classical oil painting hanging on the wall grinned and laughed at the bandaged man's folly.

"be careful."

The bandage man let the fish man go first and moved slowly towards the depths of the corridor.

Lu Tan, standing in the room, took a breath.

"I was scared to death. I was almost discovered."

He sighed.

"...That would be really scary."

Feng Yu read without emotion.

Lu Tiao continued to follow the two of them. The complete invisibility effect given to him by Feng Yu evaded all detection methods of the two. Although Lu Tiao was walking behind them, the two of them were not aware of it at all and only looked at various things in the ship.

The bandaged man walked into a spacious room. This place was different from other bedrooms. In addition to the bed, there was a large wooden desk. There was a chart on the desk, and there was a transparent display cabinet behind the seat. In the display window, there is a ship model of the Stars.

It's obvious that this is the captain's cabin.

The bandaged man did not touch the things inside rashly, but stretched out his hand and used the gray mist falling from his fingertips to explore. His eyes passed over the cabinets, windows, and portraits, and saw the mirror on the wall.

In the mirror, the bandaged man's appearance is clearly visible.

However, he clearly saw a human face behind him.

That face was slightly pale, and it was of a completely different race from his own. A pair of deep black eyes seemed to be swallowing up everything, and they were ferocious and terrifying.

"!!!"

The bandaged man immediately turned around, and the smoke in his hand turned into sharp thorns, penetrating the man's position.

But there is no feedback on the impact.

There was nothing behind the bandaged man, and the fish man was exploring another room.

Looking back, he was the only one left in the mirror.

snap——

The pen on the table not far away fell to the ground and made a slight sound.

The bandaged man was nervous again and looked over.

No one.

He spread the gray mist on his body throughout the room, trying to capture the movements of the person who might be there, but he couldn't find it at all.

"illusion?"

Even though what he saw and heard gave him a strong premonition of uneasiness, his own abilities told him that it was safe here.

The bandaged man quickly found the design drawings of the cruise ship. He picked up the drawings and prepared to leave the captain's cabin.

Before leaving, he turned back again and took a deep look at the room before leaving.

In the room, Lu Tan stood by the window, twitching the corner of his mouth.

"How could you suddenly lose your invisibility?"

He questioned Feng Yudao.

Just now, Lu Tiao was standing behind the bandaged man, but Feng Yu suddenly released his invisibility, causing Lu Tiao's face to appear in the mirror. Although he immediately regained his invisibility, he was almost exposed.

As for the pen, when Lu Tan was standing at the table, Feng Yu suddenly removed the invisibility on his hand and knocked it off.

"Isn't this interesting?"

There was an obvious smile in Feng Yu's voice.

"No, it's not interesting at all."

Lu Tan replied immediately.

If he was exposed in front of these people, he would have no choice but to start a war.

Lu Jian considers himself a pacifist, and the tasks in the Quiet Land are all kinds of strange. Maybe these people may not necessarily be able to lift the seal. What if he just takes a swim next to that weird city and treats others as his enemies? How embarrassing.

Moreover, these people can take on the task of [Alienation] difficulty, and their strength is at least about the same level as Lu Tian. There are three people on the opposite side, and Lu Tian only has two people here, so they may not be able to beat them.

Uh, wait.

Lu Tan suddenly thought of a question at this time.

Where did Laika go?

Just now, I was in a coma for a while after being possessed by Feng Yu. When I woke up, Laika seemed to be missing.

Are you hiding?

Or......

After contacting Laika's characteristics, Lu Tiao suddenly felt that the people on this boat might be in trouble.

...

Sitting on the deck, the four-eyed boy felt worried looking at the island that was so close but difficult to reach.

In front of his eyes, the flags on the deck twisted, forming the scarlet and ferocious words of the system.

【Old Ode】

[In the center of the storm, a lonely temple stands]

[The gods who once dominated all things rest here, waiting for an opportunity. The carols of the old days will be played to usher in a new morning.]

[Enter this temple, try to untie the shackles imposed on the great existence, and witness the great deeds of madness]

[Task requirements: Enter the center of the storm and arrive at the temple]

[Task requirement: Unlock the seal]

[Task Difficulty: Alienation]

"I don't know how long it will take for the storm to move. It seems that the city will only rise from the sea when the storm appears."

The four-eyed boy rubbed his palms and murmured to himself.

There are two companions on this mission. So far, everything is going well, but the four-eyed guy feels something is wrong.

He had experienced alienated missions before. These missions were extremely difficult and could almost be said to be a narrow escape. He relied on his previous accumulation, step by step, and sacrificed several teammates to survive these missions.

Some of those missions were attacked by terrifying monsters at the beginning, some required the assassination of generals who were heavily surrounded, and some required surviving in a severely polluted area for seven days.

But this mission, from the beginning to the present, has been extremely simple. They originally thought they had to physically travel through the storm, but the tunnels in the ruins brought them directly to the surroundings of the temple. No monsters have appeared for so long. The biggest problem is just this ship. There is no way to get close to the temple.

It went too smoothly.

It's like a test paper that is said to be so difficult that even top academics can't do it. However, you finish it easily in twenty minutes without feeling any difficulty at all. After finishing it, you may feel something is wrong.

This is how Four Eyes feels.

The development of this mission so far has been too simple, without any difficulty. It is difficult for the four-eyed boy not to suspect that something big may be waiting for them behind.

Could it be that after the seal is released, the three of them will become sacrifices?

This ship suddenly appeared here. It should be some kind of mission element. Maybe there is a monster hidden on the ship?

Just when Si Yanzi was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw something flashing past the edge of the deck in the distance.

That thing looks like... a ball of flesh and blood?
