Pirate Ship Spirit System

Hades was upset, put aside the hilt of the knife in his hand, squatted next to the girl, and stared at her quietly.

The door of the warehouse was closed tightly, and no outside light could penetrate inside, causing the two of them to hide in the darkness, getting further and further away from the troubled world.

He was waiting, waiting for the moment when his heart hardened and became cold-blooded, to take her life away, and then he could announce to the world that he had entered destruction.

Time passed by minute by second, and Hades's eyes opened hollowly. He didn't know how long he had been here. He only knew that the rain stopped outside, and the sky became bright and dark, dark and bright again.

Suddenly, a red dot lit up on the system, interrupting his mindless state.

Hades came to his senses hesitantly, clicked on the system interface, and saw that behind [Basic Interface] [Building Options] [Ship Spirit Enhancement], there was a new "???" that had been unlocked.

The gray writing on the dark background lit up, it was... [Character Partner].

He curiously opened the [Character Partner] interface and saw that there were countless empty slots for adding characters, and in the first position of these empty slots, there was a drawing of a ketch. There is also a little boy in black clothes, that is himself.

Hades took a look at the introduction and use of this function.

[When a character survives on the ship for 24 hours, the host can send an invitation to the character to become a member of the ship.As the host's strength increases, the crew member can enjoy some buff effects, form a bond with the host, and learn combination skills. If the person refuses to join, the host cannot invite again (the opportunity is only once, so the host should use it with caution). 】

Character companions...crew?

Hades understood the meaning of the system's expression and glanced at the black-haired girl lying on the ground in front of him.

I'm afraid she was the one who unlocked this function. After all, according to outside time calculations, she had been unconscious on the ship for 24 hours and met the invitation conditions.

Sure enough, Hades found a girl-like avatar right above the slot where characters could be added on the [Character Partner] interface.

The appearance of this avatar means that the girl has successfully entered the reserve area. As long as you send an invitation to her, and if she chooses to agree, you can add her character avatar to the empty slot and officially become your crew member.

Hades looked at this childish avatar and wanted to laugh. It really looked like a game. If he couldn't really feel the reality of this world, he would probably think that he was playing a new game.

Just as Hades was complaining about the system, the girl who had been comatose in the warehouse for a day and night finally woke up.

He rubbed his eyes in confusion, only to feel that the surroundings were dim. He was in a place where he couldn't see his fingers. He wanted to get up from the ground, but because he hadn't had any water or grains of rice in 24 hours, he couldn't exert his strength and kept climbing. It took three attempts before I managed to stand up.

The chaotic memories gradually became clear as consciousness awakened.

She remembered that she was evading pursuit by that family and the navy, and was caught in a storm at sea. She finally encountered a ship, and was locked inside as soon as she entered the warehouse.

Yes, that’s right, that’s it!

The girl recalled it all.

Looking around, there was a shallow gap in the wooden wall on the right, allowing a little light from the outside to shine in, illuminating that corner along the gap.

The girl walked towards the light and took a few steps to get there, but she didn't notice her feet. She suddenly exclaimed "Ah" and was tripped by Hades who was squatting near her. She fell to the ground face to face. solid.

"Who?!"

The girl curled up and took half a step to the side. She could feel that she bumped into someone.

Is there anyone else in this warehouse besides myself? !

"Who is there?" the girl asked in a weak voice.

Hades stood up slowly and took the initiative to expose himself to the faint light.

A vague outline fell into the girl's sight. It was a child about the same age as herself, wearing black clothes and pants, with short hair. On the unclear facial features, a pair of black and white eyes were staring at her.

As he got closer, she could smell an indescribable strange smell, like the smell that came from the slaughterhouse when passing by on the island. It might be that she hadn't showered in many days.

"Are you locked up here too?" The girl subconsciously thought that the boy in front of her had the same experience as herself.

"How did you get imprisoned?"

"Is this a ship used by human traffickers to capture slaves?"

"..."

Facing the girl's continuous questions, Hades remained silent, but still looked at her.

The girl thought he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, so she comforted him with a few words, "It's okay, we will escape."

Don't blame her for admitting her mistake. Hades' boyish appearance is too deceptive. Coupled with the integration of all kinds of weird information on this ship, it does have some similarities with the slave ship.

I still remember that she secretly boarded the ship in search of fresh water and daily necessities. These supplies, which are necessary on all merchant ships, fishing ships, and even pirate ships, seemed to not exist on this ship.

In her opinion, only slave ships that despise human life would do this.

She confirmed her guess, and when she saw the boy in front of her as a child, she felt a little sympathetic and pitiful.

With a "gurgling" sound, the girl's stomach suddenly growled. The originally small sound seemed to be amplified ten times in this empty and silent environment.

In the darkness, the girl's face turned red unconsciously.

After not eating for such a long time, she had already lost the feeling of hunger, leaving only the simplest physiological reaction, reminding her that her body needed energy replenishment.

The girl took out the remaining half piece of bread in her clothes and was about to bite it when she realized that the boy was still looking at her.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl divided a small portion of the bread in her hand and handed it over.

"I can't give you much, because I'm also very hungry, but don't worry, I will find a way to take you out when I replenish my strength." The girl was very confident in her words, as if she already had the means to leave here. Method.

Hades was stunned and looked at the little hand stretched out in front of him in disbelief. The small piece of bread on the hand actually aroused his appetite for some reason.

He hasn't eaten anything since he traveled here. At first, there was no food to eat, but later he realized that he didn't need to eat.

But this time it was different. Hades stared at the shriveled bread in his little hand. It was clearly hard, but it still exuded an alluring fragrance.
