Chapter 116

The night was dim, only the dim stars twinkled.

Bang -

a box full of goods fell heavily on the dock.

"Be careful, fool. If you damage the goods, I'll skin you!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we'll pack up right away!"

At night, there are still many ships operating in the "port of Newcastle". I don't know which chamber of Commerce's loading and unloading personnel had a problem, which led to the manager's scolding.

It also caused a commotion among some people in the dark...

unlike Gabriel, who only used military and commercial functions, the situation here is much more complicated than the former.

As the headquarters of the adventurers' Association of the kingdom of faletis and the sea hunters' Union, "Newport" has also accepted all kinds of people from all walks of life with different backgrounds, as well as the "treasures" brought back by these navigators, explorers, sea hunters, speculators, and even desperate seafarers.

People are complex, money is moving, but the commotion from time to time is the normal here.

At this time.

There are many damages on the hull of a ship. It is obvious that an adventure ship, which has experienced a thrilling journey, slowly stops at the berth under the guidance of the pilot.

Bang -

before the ship stopped, a group of dozens of people rushed down from the ship, as if there was something chasing behind them.

After simple contact with the port staff.

This group of people soon disappeared into the darkness under the guidance of a connector who had been waiting on the dock for a long time.

Although the port staff were surprised by the behavior of these people, they didn't think much about it. There are more maverick people in this city. They don't have so much curiosity to get to the bottom.

As long as they pay the management fee on time, they will go wherever they like.

...

"Todd, how's the buyer you contacted? We have to get rid of this as soon as possible. " A strong man in a long windbreaker was leading the way, and asked the person who was next to him.

"Boss Stanley, I've already got in touch. The appointed time is tomorrow night." Todd, a smart man with short hair, came up to the boss and whispered back.

"Are they not local forces? Can't it be traded right away? Why wait until tomorrow night? "

A series of rhetorical questions were breathed out by him.

At the same time, the middle-aged man, known as the Stanley boss, unconsciously glanced behind him, a box wrapped in black cloth held by his hand.

"We have violated the requirements of the client and failed to hand it over to the designated person. Taking such a big risk, can't they make a change?"

Obviously, the things in the box brought him a lot of pressure, and his voice was not as calm as before.

"No, boss. There is more than one power that wants this thing. The highest bidder says that they have to find a way to transport it quickly after they receive the goods. Even the local leader needs to arrange the way back. Tomorrow night is the fastest time.

If they can't guarantee the absolute safety of things, they'd rather not! "

Todd explained to his boss with a bitter face that it was the result of his best efforts, but he couldn't help it because of the time constraint.

In fact, Stanley was not in a hurry. Although he accepted the entrustment to deliver the goods to the designated person, it was as simple as drinking water and eating food for him to sell the goods in violation of the contract. He didn't need to care about the employer's requirements at all.

However, the box, the most evil box, changed strangely when the agreed deadline came.

He swore that he had been a sea Hunter all his life, and he had seen a lot of strange things, but he had never seen anything so evil.

This box... It has its own consciousness!

It's not the consciousness of low-level monsters, but the wisdom of clear and flexible thinking. Yes, Stanley thinks it can only be described by wisdom!

Wisdom can naturally communicate with people, but the process of that communication is obviously not so wonderful. Looking back on what happened at that time, I can't help fighting with Stanley's mind for many years.

Because it is like a superior master, or a rule maker, who puts forward its very strange and absurd request, which is also what it calls the rules of the game.

The holder must act according to its rules, or he will eat a living person every 12 hours! Until all the sea hunters on board!

In the face of the threat of the box, at first everyone sniffed.

But after that, even if he gathered the strength of his whole team, he couldn't help but eat this small box. It couldn't stop, destroy or throw it away. It almost had no resistance and ate up eight of his companions.

They compromised.

From the moment of the deadline, it seems that these people have become the servants of this box.Stanley even has a crazy idea that there may not be any client from the beginning to the end. Behind it is this strange box directing and acting itself.

Up to now, through the repeated trial of blood and flesh, both sides have been able to barely coexist.

He felt that only by finding another wave of forces to voluntarily accept and hand them over could they really get rid of this thing. Moreover, after making a huge sacrifice, they were reluctant to give up the huge golden lion promised by the buyer.

"Quick, quick, time's up, change people quickly!"

Behind the team, a young man in charge of timing with a pocket watch suddenly screamed, and a figure rushed out of the team to take the box.

The companion who was holding the box was pardoned and quickly retreated, as if it was not a box, but a large amount of alchemy bomb.

The person who takes over is not selfless. If this ghost gets out of control, all the people who have been in the same boat with it will have bad luck. More than a dozen former companions who didn't even have bone dregs have proved this.

Now we can only expect that the boss can find a way to trade it. It would be great if he could get rid of this terrible box and harvest a large amount of golden lion.

This is also the original motivation for them to actively cooperate.

The rule of the game proposed by the box today is that the holder must be in a state of constant movement. If the holder does not change people, every whole point needs to meet a requirement of the box.

Or to answer a question or to do a trivial matter, the difficulty of the event will gradually increase, if it can not meet the requirements, it will be swallowed directly...

as soon as the shift is completed, the box will make the sound of winding and tightening gear rotation.

"Ketakota..."

then, it was like an eight tone box or an aria, with an indescribable cold breath coming from it: "ah, ah, it's a pity that you've dodged me!"

The box made a discontented sound, and the sea hunters around it were sweating.

Hearing that creepy voice, even if he was already a knight, Stanley could not help shivering.

"Regardless of the damn buyer, Todd will find us a safe place to live first."

"No problem, boss. You're ready. Come with me."

Todd bowed in and covered up the twinkle in his eyes.

Lead the way away from the bustling port area, and lead the party to the quiet and empty factory area in the dead of night.
