[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

Annie and Carl were learning how to swim and eating tofu. Antonio, master and servant, were struggling to sneak into first-class cabins in order of possible targets to find suspicious items.

From the time they went in to the time they came out, they had never been found, and the room hadn't changed at all, and it didn't look like they had been rummaged through. The two of them seemed to be very proficient in this business of finding things.

At this time, the two were standing in front of the safe. This was already the sixth cabin they had searched for. If they couldn't find anything, they had to go to the second-class and third-class cabins.

Neil took a step forward and pointed his palm at the box used by this rich family to protect valuable property. He saw a strange pattern gradually appearing on his palm. The pattern itself was red, but it emitted a burst of white light. After a flash, the combination disk of the safe started to move on its own, and the next moment, a "click" was heard, and the box opened.

Neil stepped aside and let Antonio step forward to check.

Not long after, Mr. Marquis took out the white handkerchief he carried with him, took out a huge and beautiful diamond from the safe, and sighed: "It turns out that "Hope" is here."

The diamond rose slowly from Antonio's hand, floating about five centimeters away from Antonio's palm, turning slowly.

Neil frowned. The diamond named "Hope" didn't have a good reputation in their circle, because the people who owned it would end up badly. There was even a witch who had been among the human beings before. I have lived for more than 150 years without being discovered, but within a year of getting this diamond and wanting to study why it always brings bad luck to people, it was found by humans, and now it has been burned so that even the ashes have drifted away. where it goes.

It is called "hope", but what it actually brings to people is "despair".

Before Nildo could recall a few famous tragic examples, the diamond that was rotating slowly suddenly became bright blue, and many things in the room also floated up, and quickly flew towards Antonio's master and servant.

Among them, two letter openers, vases, desk lamps and other more lethal items are the most conspicuous.

Neil dodged in front of the owner, and took the initiative to meet those things, holding a letter opener in each hand, and at the same time raised his feet and turned around to kick the vase and other items to the ground.

But before he could catch his breath, the vase and other things that smashed to pieces on the table when it fell floated up again, and attacked in the direction of their master and servant.

Other things are easy to talk about, but the fragments of the vase are not something he can resist with two hands alone, and he found that the two letter openers in his hands are struggling to escape his control.

"Neil, come back!"

At the same time that Antonio spoke, Neil followed his master's instructions and retreated to his side without thinking. Only then did he see that the Marquis's hand was glowing white against the blue light of the diamond. His hand stretched out to his chest when he stepped back, and another red symbol different from when Neil just opened the safe appeared from the palm of Antonio's palm, and the white light suddenly became bright, and the knives, fragments and other things that flew towards him instantly It was frozen less than one centimeter in front of Antonio's palm.

"What shall we do now?"

Neil didn't expect this diamond to be a little bit conscious. Judging by its attacking reaction as soon as it came up, it was quite fierce.

"Open the box we brought."

Neil didn't say much, and immediately took out a wooden box about eight centimeters in size from his arms, lifted the lid of the box, and held it in front of Antonio.

The "Diamond of Hope" trembled and snuggled up, seeming to be invincible to Antonio's strength. In the tug-of-war between the blue light and the white light, it was getting closer and closer to the wooden box.

The master and servant dared not be careless and stared at the diamond closely.

Neil suddenly took off his suit jacket, and wrapped all kinds of sharp-designed gem ornaments that flew out of the safe into his clothes, but at this time, the pendant lights above their heads also It fell without warning.

As long as Antonio moves now, he will definitely lose his favorable position to confront the "Diamond of Hope". Those things could penetrate into his and Neil's bodies in seconds.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he instantly increased his strength to confront the diamond. When it fell into the box, he threw out the holy moonstone he had always carried with him, and at the same time shouted at his loyal servant: "Get out of the way!"

Antonio himself rushed towards the wooden box, removing the power that controlled the fragments. When the Holy Moonstone fell on the "Diamond of Hope", a burst of light that was more holy than the power that Antonio showed just now enveloped the whole place. The wooden box, the fragments that were flying towards Antonio and Neal suddenly stopped moving and fell to the ground one after another.

Antonio caught the falling wooden box and did not stop there, but rolled forward a few times to avoid the falling lights.

It wasn't until the sound of the lighting falling to the ground that all the abnormalities stopped completely.

Only now did the master and servant take a few deep breaths.

Antonio took the lid of the box that Neil handed over and covered the Sacred Moonstone and the "Diamond of Hope" together, and cut his finger to draw the "blockade" symbol on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the box. When he finished the last stroke, blood stains The painted symbols floated from the box, flying around the wooden box in a whirlwind, a burst of bright light flickered for a few seconds before the box returned to normal, but if anyone tried to open the box at this time, they would find the box It can't be opened anymore.

"Does it work?"

The Marquis just put the diamond into the box and sealed it up, and did not do anything else to the diamond itself.

Antonio stared at the box, "It bears too many lives, the Holy Moonstone will dispel its hostility, and when it returns to peace, it will know that we will send it to the right place, and it should not resist anymore."

Looking around the messy room, Antonio sighed, and tidied it up with Neil. No one would have thought that the handsome and noble-looking Marquis was extremely proficient in interior decoration and furniture restoration.

The palms of the two of them flashed light from time to time, and within an hour, the broken vases, fallen lamps and various items were restored to their original positions.

Antonio wiped his sweat and told Neil, "Leave a check to make up for the loss of the family's diamonds. Let's go."

The two left as quietly as when they came. There was a famous diamond missing in the safe, and there was a piece of paper with numbers written on it.

Back in his room, Antonio temporarily put the box into the special suitcase they had prepared to hold the sacred objects, and then began to prepare the outfit for Captain Smith's retirement party in the evening----men want to appear bright and glamorous It also takes time to dress up in front of people.

After Antonio's master and servant closed the door and went to the banquet hall, a tall figure in a cloak slowly appeared in a corner of the empty room.

The man paced to the box where the "Diamond of Hope" was placed, but did not see him make any moves or make any noise, the box opened automatically, and the wooden box floated in front of the visitor.

He didn't raise his arms hanging on both sides of his body, but with a slight inward hook of his little finger, the wooden box that no one could open opened effortlessly, and the "Diamond of Hope" lay folded inside. The strange thing is that the original ferocity on it has disappeared, replaced by a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and the cut surface of the gemstone looks more shiny than the original.

"Surrender so quickly? Do you believe that being locked up in a church and soaking in water all day will be more fun than being in the hands of different people and seeing their different fates?"

The visitor made a gesture of listening attentively, as if diamonds could really speak.

"Hey! Those people's tragic fate has nothing to do with you. It's just the destruction brought about by human greed. Besides, don't you find it interesting to read so many people's different life stories?"

The "Diamond of Hope" moved a little in the box, and seemed to be a little shaken.

"That's right! The reason why those people died badly and their families were ruined has nothing to do with you. Think about your life at the beginning. How boring it was in the temple. After seeing the outside world, would you still want to go back to a temple?" A place that is not much different from a temple, and continue to live a life that is bland and supported by others?"

The "Diamond of Hope" trembled violently, apparently unwillingly.

"Don't worry, you don't have to listen to those two brats if you don't want to. The Holy Moonstone is not a problem, as long as you do me a small favor."

=====

With Tina's help, Annie changed into the costume for the banquet at night. While Tina was going to get the shoes and accessories, Annie called out the system and stared blankly at the random mission that just appeared:

10. Random task: Rescue Titanic passengers.Reward: For every rescued person with a merit value of 1000, if you rescue more than 2000 people, you will be rewarded with a "time travel package family group", and if you rescue more than [-] people, you will be given a free choice reward item once.

She never received the mission to help the Titanic. Anne was lucky at first, thinking that her efforts had paid off, but it turned out that everything was in vain?

At this point, Anne felt that the dust had settled. Before, she had been worried and anxious all day long because she still had hope and uncertainty. Now that she knew that something would happen, she calmed down like never before.

"Miss, which pair of shoes would you like to match?"

Annie closed the task panel, bowed her head and carefully selected the shoes that matched her dress.

Since it is unavoidable, then face it bravely!

She has a system and knows the future analysis of the shipwreck of the century, and she and Carl have made various preparations. If all this fails to reverse fate and defeat the God of death, then what else is there to say?
