"Wait, why are you suddenly deciding to go back?" asked Sima Yi to Jia Xu.
"I don't want whatever that was called."
"It's only if-" Guo Jia and Xun Yu cover Sima Yi's mouth.
"I really want to go back and tap that maid."
Piracy was not my strong suit anyway.
"Okay... I want to go back also..."
"Might as well just drink the remainder of this rum." Guo Jia lights up and yells at him, "You had alcohol?! Give me some!"
"Alright, alright. No one else is drinking this anyway."
"If you were supposed to be a pirate, where is your crew?"
"...They died."
"Every single one except Xun Yu?"
"I don't know why they died. They just started coughing and many just keeled over."
"Where did you wash up?"
"Um... I don't remember. I was sitting tied up along with other people and then we broke out of the place. Then we stole a ship. Then one by one everyone began dying and we all couldn't figure it out. I and Xun Yu were the only ones who survived."
"So interesting... Why wasn't this story centered on you?"
"What story?"
"Nothing. Everyone dying just like that. Weird..."
They died of an unknown disease to them. Xun Yu shows his notepad to the two. He begins to write more.
Jia Xu and I were harboring something and it wasn't affecting us. The men were of foreign origin, thus the disease has more lethal effect on them.
"Are you a doctor?"
No. I read a book on this.
"...At home?"
It was a foreign book that was translated for me.
"Okay. How long would it take to get back?"
"Depends. If nothing hinders us."
"Do you even know what direction we are going?"
"Um... This ship can go on forever anyway! And food supply is high since the last ship I looted."
"I hope so..." The ship floats for a moment and a ship moves up near them. A group of yelling men threw grappling hooks into the ship. Jia Xu makes a worried face and drags a box of swords from the ship.
"Damn it! The guys were following me before I got to you two! Get some kind of weapon and knock these guys off!"
"Why didn't you get rid of them before?!"
"I did! But this is a very large organization in pirate standards!" Xun Yu runs with his notepad having many explanation points written on it. He grabs a nearby sword and stabs a charging pirate.
"Where is Sima Yi?!"
"How should I know?! I'm not his babysitter!" In the captain's quarters, Sima Yi was sitting in a chair sleeping.
"What are they doing that is making this much noise...?" The door bursts open to have pirates run in. "Hey! Tell us where this ship keeps its gold and you might just be able to live!"
"Oh boy... Ruffians..."
"Come on! Or your buddies will die up there!"
"Huff..." He reaches for a cup of water on the table.
"Don't move!"
"I just want a drink. Calm down."
"Freeze!"
"Pirates are not the brightest bunch..."
"I said-"
"I know, I know..." He raises his hands. "Freeze." Icy shards fly out of his hands and they hit the pirates, freezing them whole. Sima Yi walks by and casually flicks one of the frozen pirates, causing it fall and shatter to pieces.
"Ah, I love that sound." He walks up the stairs and up onto the ship's floor. He sees the three fighting off many pirates.
"Damn it! When did you go under there?!"
"Okay, I am going back..." Guo Jia and Xun Yu grabs him by the robes and gave him a sword.
Wei's policy was to never give you a bladed weapon, but this is an exception.
"I'm surprised you had time to write that." A pirate yells out and tries to hit Xun Yu, but he uses his notepad to take the blow. He turns to stab the pirate. Xun Yu makes an annoyed expression when he saw his notepad was ruined.
"Who cares about that? Just get rid of these barbarians!"
"It has been so long since I held a sword..." Sima Yi stares at the sword with shiny eyes.
"Well, you have one! Just get these guys off of this..." Body parts and blood fly in Guo Jia's face. "...ship..." A head flies towards him and he ducks. "Ah!" Xun Yu takes out another notepad.
This is why Cao Cao banned Sima Yi from having a sword.
"I feel like a giddy schoolgirl with this blade! Hahahahahaha!" Sima Yi runs around slicing many pirates into two while laughing insanely. After only ten minutes, pirates lay in pools of blood and were either decapitated or sliced to pieces. Guo Jia walks very slowly up to Sima Yi pry the sword away.
"You're in your happy place. You're in your happy place. Give me that."
"No."
"Give it."
"No. It feels so good holding something that can kill. I haven't felt this good since DW2." Xun Yu and Jia Xu grab Sima Yi from behind and he squirms around.
"You're taking this away! Not again anyway! I got stuck with a fan just to make me look like a Zhuge Liang clone!" Guo Jia pries the sword away from Sima Yi's hands and he throws it back into the box of weapons that was sitting at a corner of the ship.
"There. Why did it take so long for Cao Cao to ban swords for Sima Yi?"
"He killed the NPC for Cao Pi. Twice. Also, he killed the NPC for me.."
FYI, he killed the NPC for you, Guo Jia.
"Why?"
The NPC was the closet victim for him.
"Let me go. I'm already bored and unmotivated." They let Sima Yi go and he walks back to the stairs to walk down below the ship.
One hour later...
The three sit in a table playing mahjong.
"Who is driving this ship?"
"It'll just float its way back home."
"I can't tell what Xun Yu has..."
"He has a good mahjong face. And he can't talk." The three sit in silence and played their game.
Another hour later...
Jia Xu says in a monotone voice, "Xun Yu won. Again."
"Are you sure he isn't cheating?"
"He's too good to do that." Xun Yu turns his face away from them and holds in his smile. He had extra mahjong tiles in his sleeve and he hides them. Guo Jia asks Jia Xu, "Are you sure Xun Yu can't talk?"
"Yes. Look, just ask Xun Yu to talk."
"Xun Yu, can you say something?" Xun Yu mouths words, but no sound comes out. Instead an automated voice is heard.
"Audio clip not found. Please insert audio clip."
"Oh... You were not kidding..."
"What's an audio clip?"
"I don't know."
It's something the developers are trying to put together.
"I wonder what is Sima Yi even doing under there."
"I hope he doesn't eat all of the food under there."
Down in the captain's chambers, Sima Yi sleeps in the bed that was in there. Guo Jia and Jia Xu walk down under the ship and sees him sleeping in the bed.
"Why is he sleeping so much...?"
"I'm older than him, and I'm not taking this many naps."
"Nrragh... I can hear you..."
"Hey, the last crew that I stole this ship from liked women."
"...And...?"
"The captain too. I think about five women entered that bed-" Sima Yi's eyes open wide and he jumps out of the bed.
"Ew, ew, ew, ew!"
"I thought so."
