Dialogue
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: Manager, Qingyi, you're here. It's pretty much as we expected, so let's get going.
Why is Zhu Yuan also here?- I thought you were busy with a case.
- Zhu Yuan: Huh? A case? Well, our unit has been investigating this art theft case lately.
- Art theft?
- Weren't boats being stolen?
- Zhu Yuan: Uh... Qingyi, you've spent so much time with the manager during this championship, but haven't you said a word?
- Qingyi: Ah, don't put it that way. I was simply being discreet.
- Qingyi: Firstly, we were only trying to gather information. We didn't expect the culprit to show up and interfere with the competition. Secondly, fishing is all about a serene mind. What if the manager couldn't perform well due to stressing over the case?
- I think you're messing with me.
- But there's no proof.
- Qingyi: Fret not, Manager. When we nab those thieves, the truth will come to light.
- Zhu Yuan: Sorry, Manager! I'd love to explain everything, but this case is rather complex and we're pressed for time. I can only give you a summary of things.
- Zhu Yuan: To keep it short, we are tracking down a criminal gang that stole some artworks a few days ago. For some unknown motive, they have also stolen a boat belonging to Ridu Fishing Association.
- Zhu Yuan: According to Jane's intel, they've set up their base at a low-corruption area deep within the Hollow. It's likely that the boat and stolen items are nearby.
- Zhu Yuan: Manager, please help us locate the base and arrest them.
- No problem!
- Leave it to me!
- (After the conversation)
- Qingyi: Let's get going, Manager.
- Zhu Yuan: The boat's signal has stopped moving.
- Zhu Yuan: The criminals should've returned to their hideout now.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Get near the boat first.
- (Interact with the console)
- Fairy: The container is now moving
- Fairy: The path ahead is now clear
- (Approach the first group of thugs)
- Hollow Thug A: Whoa, who's there?
- Hollow Thug B: It's Public Security!
- Hollow Thug A: Get them!
- (While riding the elevator)
- Qingyi: Found it! The boat is right there!
- Zhu Yuan: Let's dive deeper into the Hollow. Their hideout isn't far!
- (After riding the elevator)
- Hollow Thug C: This is bad... It's PubSec!
- (Approach the bridge)
- Qingyi: Huh? There seems to be a small path on the left. Shall we take a look?
- (Cross the bridge)
- Hollow Thug D: Taste my bullet!
- Hollow Thug E: I won't let you get any closer this time!
- (When the Wanted Intimidator has low health)
- Wanted Intimidator: Need reinforcement. Report to the boss!
- (Reach the marked destination)
-
- (Thugs jump down from a hanging cargo container)
- Ruthless Bandit: Who's there? Show yourself!
- Zhu Yuan: Public Security! You're under arrest!
- Ruthless Bandit: Arrest? You better have what it takes!
- Zhu Yuan: The enemy's making a move. Let's go!
- Qingyi: Ugh, poor Zhu Yuan has been working overtime for too much lately. She's stressed out, and you're in for it now.
- (When the Ruthless Bandit loses 1/3 health)
- Ruthless Bandit: Hey, hold on! I'll get the boss to help!
- (He runs away)
- Hollow Thug F: What? M—Me against PubSec?
- Hollow Thug G: Hey! Don't ditch us!
- (After defeating the enemies)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The enemy got away!
- Zhu Yuan: Perfect. Now we can track him to their hideout.
- (Approach the thugs near the Mini Cargo Truck, optional)
- Hollow Thug H: No! It's... PubSec!
- Hollow Thug H: Fight them!
- (Reach the marked destination)
- Fairy: Master, there are many enemies ahead. Please be careful
- (Approach the enemy barricade)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The enemy is there!
- Ruthless Bandit: Humph, just you wait!
- (After defeating the enemies)
- Fairy: You can use the nearby elevator to continue pursuing the enemy
- (After defeating the enemies on the upper level)
- Qingyi: There's more than one container console. Better to investigate.
- (Interact with the console near the Mini Cargo Truck, optional)
- Fairy: The container ahead is moving. Please follow closely
- (Interact with the console by the elevator)
- Zhu Yuan: Look, the enemy's over there! It looks like their base. The Ether concentration here is low, and it's hidden away in a secluded spot, the perfect place to set up a base.
- Zhu Yuan: Let's hurry!
- Hurry up and use the console!
- Container Console: Error. Obstacle detected on container movement path. Unable to execute current command.
- Zhu Yuan: That gray container has blocked the path. We can move it using its console, but we don't know where it is.
- Fairy: Note: Another container console has been located at the lower right side of the current platform. You can use the elevator to access it.
- What are you waiting for?
- Let's go!
- (Reach the lower level)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Look, the console is just up ahead!
- Qingyi: Alright, let's take these thugs down fast!
- (Interact with the console)
- Fairy: Master, the upper console is ready for use
- (Interact with the console by the elevator)
- Fairy: The container is on the move. Please wait
- (Cross the bridge)
- Hollow Thug I: Shoot! Public Security's here!
- (When the Ruthless Bandit reaches 1/2 health)
-
- (The Bandit Boss joins the fight)
- Bandit Boss: So, Public Security thinks it can come to a place like this!
- Zhu Yuan: Drop your weapons! You're all under arrest!
- Bandit Boss: Hmph... Not gonna happen!
- Qingyi: Alright, Zhu Yuan. Let's not be polite. Time to move!
- (Interact with the Lost Goods)
- Zhu Yuan: Qingyi, these boxes are the same as the stolen items. And the numbers tally too. Check if any of the contents were removed.
- Qingyi: Don't worry, I scanned the area and the artworks are in there.
- Zhu Yuan: Qingyi, what about that thing? Is it in one of the boxes?
- What thing?
- Qingyi: Yes, it's here.
- Qingyi opens one of the boxes and takes out a lamp...
- Qingyi: This is the most valuable item among all the stolen artworks. However, its true value doesn't lie in itself. It sparked this entire case.
- All this over a lamp?
- Oh? How so?
- Zhu Yuan: Have you heard the story behind this lamp? It was made by a jewelry counterfeiter who worked for a gang. Her name is Kay Faelschung.
- Zhu Yuan: The gang sold counterfeit items made by Kay for large sums of money, but they were careless and Kay managed to swap out all the real pieces for fakes.
- Zhu Yuan: Upon learning of Kay's betrayal, the gang started to pursue her. On a stormy night, Kay was fleeing from her pursuers on a boat in this area. Her boat sank and her comrades drowned with her.
- Zhu Yuan: Perhaps she anticipated that she wouldn't be able to escape, so she hid those stolen jewels. Years later, Public Security nabbed the gang and found this lamp among Kay's items. There was finally a clue about the jewels...
- Zhu Yuan: This lamp is more than just an ornament. It has an intricate electronic system built into it. Once the lampshade is lifted, the small words carved into it are revealed:
- Zhu Yuan: "Let its faint glimmer lead you to the sleeping treasure at Sea Crow's Nest."
- So, this can be used to find the jewels?
- So, we just need to light it up at Sea Crow's Nest to find the jewels?
- Zhu Yuan: That's what Public Security thought, but we could never find the place called Sea Crow's Nest. The lamp was sent for safekeeping at an art gallery, and only a handful of Public Security officers know about this secret.
- Zhu Yuan: But when the lamp was stolen, this secret was revealed. Those people started looking for the treasures that had been lying dormant for years.
- So, the blue light near Sea Crow's Nest...
- These culprits were behind it.
- Qingyi: As sharp as ever.
- Qingyi: There aren't many residents living near Port Elpis, and the island is isolated at sea. The culprits probably thought no one would notice them. Unfortunately, the blue light near the reef island caught the attention of many.
- Qingyi: What's even more baffling is that some people mistook the blue light for bioluminescent fish. That's why so many fishing enthusiasts have gathered.
- Qingyi: They spent several days looking for the jewels, but to no avail. Instead, the island has been crowded by anglers. Naturally, the culprits were eager to put an end to the competition.
- Luckily, they haven't found the jewels yet.
- You guys at Public Security go to such great lengths.
- Qingyi: Heh, don't worry. Even if they search around the area for three years, they won't find anything. That's because that reef island isn't even called Sea Crow's Nest.
- What?!
- It isn't Sea Crow's Nest?
- Zhu Yuan: That's right. We also studied maps from decades ago to ascertain that island's name. Its real name is Nautilus Reef.
- Zhu Yuan: As for Sea Crow's Nest, only one recent article from several years ago mentions it. We looked into it and found out that the date of publication was altered. In fact, it was published after the theft.
- Did someone deliberately release false information to mislead the culprits?
- Does someone else know about the lantern?
- Qingyi: Yes, this person not only knows the secret of the lamp, but they also know that the real name of this reef island has been lost. Hence, their ploy wouldn't be easily exposed. Only one person would be capable of this, don't you think?
- Mr. McDunn!
- Qingyi: Bingo. After so many years, it seems like the final piece of the puzzle has always been in his hands. However, we can't be sure if he's willing to share what he knows.
- Zhu Yuan: Manager, Qingyi, Mr. McDunn is a key witness in this case. His cooperation is vital. I'll handle matters here. You two can seek him out with this lamp.
