Elder brother's garrison

"How did you know she was looking for those two Deans of the Deep Sea?" Desmond asked Luo Lian, voicing his doubts.

"Oh...you mean this?" Upon hearing this, Luo Lian released her hands, the remote control she was holding falling onto the sofa. She thought seriously for a moment, "Hmm...how did I deduce that again?"

"Admiral, don't you even know your own thought process?"

“What does one plus one equal?”

"two."

Have you ever wondered why one plus one equals two?

"not at all."

"That's roughly my situation." Luo Lian nodded very seriously.

“…” Des Moines.

“Ah, I understand now.” Luo Lian raised a finger to Des Moine. “When you told me to go home and rest before, didn’t I see Xiao Bai’s program on TV? I investigated the background of that program afterward and guessed that it was probably the Admiral Headquarters’s way of having Xiao Bai appear on the show in order to counter the influence of the Deep Sea Dean.”

“Oh…” Desmond listened attentively, tilting his head slightly. “And then?”

“The Deep Sea Deans… are probably the two that appeared in Peicheng.” Luo Lian explained, then paused at Des Moines, “Xiao Bai’s shipbuilding skills are terrible, so she’s always very enthusiastic when salvaging ships. Given her personality, she wouldn’t just leave these two Deep Sea Deans alone; she’d definitely try to salvage them secretly. The fact that she called me at this particular time probably means she encountered some trouble while salvaging the ships. Considering Xiao Bai’s combat abilities, the trouble she encountered is unlikely to be combat-related, so it must be related to her thinking. After thinking it over, the only conclusion I can come up with is how to find their whereabouts.”

"That makes sense." Desmond's eyes lit up, his face full of admiration.

"It's just a matter of course," Luo Lian nodded.

After Luo Lian finished explaining to Desmond, she turned around and looked at the big screen behind her. On the big screen, Xiao Bai was smiling shyly at the camera, looking cute and touching.

Luo Lian grinned foolishly at the screen camera, as if the words "bewitched" were popping up above her head.

Looking at Luo Lian's posture, the admiration that had just formed on Desmond's face vanished in an instant. She glanced at the heavy mechanical parts piled up on Luo Lian's desk, and her expression turned into a deep sense of helplessness.

—How should we evaluate this admiral of our own?

After much thought, the title of "high-IQ psychopath" is probably the most suitable for her.

……

Peicheng.

Xiaobai spent the afternoon playing poker with the ship girls at the inn, and in between, he also made a phone call to the governor's office, handing them the phone number of the loan sharks he had obtained from Yu Gan's elderly father.

Before we knew it, night had fallen.

At night, Pei City is brightly lit. The long night, like a driven beast, can only lie prostrate in the surrounding waters, gazing at the fiery city from afar.

The tourists on the city streets were still excited about finding the Dean of the Deep Sea. Just like last time, Xiaobai and the ship girls sneaked out of Peicheng, stepped onto the water at night, and sped into the long night.

This time, Shiro and the ship girls are traveling at full speed.

Boom——

Boom——

The three of them sailed straight toward the stormy sea, and it took them about three or four hours. In the distance, a series of muffled thunderclaps came from the horizon. Lightning flashed across the sky, dark clouds and fog filled the air, and a strong wind rose. The waves on the raging sea revealed sharp edges.

The sea during a storm.

This sea area is not far from Pei City, but it is definitely not close either. If it weren't for people like Xiaobai and Luo Lian who know the Dean of the Deep Sea very well, they would never have thought that the Dean of the Deep Sea was lurking here.

Xiaobai and the ship girls stepped onto the sea and sped towards the center of the storm.

While storms pose a significant threat to ordinary ships and even giant vessels, they are not a problem for ship girls. At most, it's like turning a flat road into a rugged mountain path. As long as they are a little careful, nothing will go wrong.

The stormy sea was vast, large enough to swallow the entire city of Pei. As soon as Xiaobai and her companions entered the storm, a deafening roar filled their ears. After they continued their journey through the turbulent storm for half an hour, and were slightly closer to its center, York and Baltimore, who were following behind Xiaobai, both brightened up.

"Admiral! I can feel it!"

"It tastes like the deep sea!"

The two ship girls spoke up almost simultaneously.

Ship girls' ability to sense the aura of the deep sea can indeed be affected by the chaotic environment, but as long as the distance is close enough, they will still be able to sense it, just like now.

Upon hearing the words of the two ship girls, Xiaobai also released the Admiral Network at the right time, spreading it in all directions.

The Admiral Network quickly scanned the area around the three of them and soon located a figure with an extremely high concentration of Deep Sea Dean's aura in the distance.

found it!

A hint of surprise flashed through Xiaobai's heart.

However, Xiaobai's brows furrowed in confusion again very quickly.

Hmm... one?

Aren't the Deans of the Deep Sea Institute always paired up?

What about the other one?

Xiaobai continued to use the Admiral Network to search in a wider direction, but even after expanding the Admiral Network to its limit, he still couldn't find a second figure containing the aura of the deep sea.

Xiao Bai withdrew from the Admiral Network and sighed with his head down.

No, this is the limit of how much I can control the Admiral Network. Any larger and I'll need the Deep Sea Will's help... Should I ask the Deep Sea Will for help...?

Just as Xiaobai was thinking this, suddenly, amidst the muffled thunder, the ship girls' exclamations rang out.

"Admiral! Watch out!"

The calls of the ship girls were quickly drowned out by the muffled thunder.

Xiaobai interrupted her thoughts and subconsciously looked up at the ship girl.

Suddenly, an inexplicable giant wave rose up beneath his feet, instantly transforming into a massive beast made of seawater that lunged fiercely at him.

Before Little White could react, York and Baldr rushed in front of him and shoved him away.

The next second, the giant wave transformed into a ferocious beast, opened its massive jaws, and viciously bit York and Baltimore into its belly. Then, with a swift flip, it plunged into the seabed and vanished into nothingness.

On the sea, only Little White, soaking wet, was left sitting on the water.

Little White blinked its big eyes and looked up at the sky.

The sky was filled with countless blue shooting stars.

A scantily clad woman with blue floral tattoos on her thighs sat atop a blue ship's rigging, coldly looking down at him.

boom----

A thunderclap resounded, illuminating the sky above where the woman stood.

In an instant, it was as bright as day.

Chapter 2359 Onmyoji!

The woman floating in the sky wore a white dress with a very short hem, and a blue shimenawa rope was tied around her waist. Her fair thighs, exposed to the air, were covered with a large area of ​​light blue cherry blossom tattoos. Her long legs extended down from her ship equipment and hung in the night. A piece of white and blue silk was tied to one of her ankles, swaying slightly in the wind and quite conspicuous in the darkness.

The raindrops of the stormy night poured down, pelting the woman's body, but were pushed away by an invisible force, leaving not a single inch of her clothes wet.

The woman who appeared from the night sky stared intently at the little white creature on the sea.

Given such an appearance and imposing presence, it seems this is the Deep Sea Dean hiding in the storm.

The person who came here is not kind...

Wait, no, it seems I'm the one who came here.

As Xiaobai thought to herself, she stood up from the water's surface, temporarily ignoring the Deep Sea Dean in the sky. Instead, she looked towards the sea where York and Baltimore had been swallowed. Under her will, the Admiral's Network rapidly spread out, penetrating deep underwater, and within a few breaths, it located York and Baltimore's positions.

During the investigation by Admiral Xiaobai, just a few dozen meters below his feet, York and Baltimore were fiercely battling dozens of sea monsters made of pure water, and even seemed to have the upper hand. The world beneath the sea was not peaceful.

After discovering that York and Baltimore were temporarily safe, Xiaobai felt somewhat relieved.

It seems that York and Baltimore don't need my help for the time being.

"Is this Deep Sea Dean's ability to manipulate water..." Xiaobai murmured, retracting her Admiral Network and fixing her gaze on the Deep Sea Dean in the sky once more. She addressed the Deep Sea Dean, first raising her voice in greeting, "Hello—are you Deep Sea Akagi? Or Deep Sea Kaga? I'm not here to fight you—"

Xiao Bai's voice was quickly drowned out by the storm, and the blue woman in the sky remained unmoved.

"Didn't you hear that?"

Xiao Bai took a deep breath, preparing to shout it out louder.

But next second.

"buzz buzz buzz"

Countless blue meteors fell from the sky, transforming into a large number of carrier-based aircraft that swooped down towards Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai remained calm upon seeing the scene before her. She simply sighed softly, then raised her hand and gently pushed forward. A flash of white light appeared, and a white-blue land-based ship rig landed with a bang in front of her. The engine room opened, and rows upon rows of densely packed carrier-based aircraft soared into the sky from the land-based ship rig.

Peng peng peng peng peng————

The land-based ship is equipped with a large number of B25 carrier-based aircraft of extremely high quality. When they took off, they were like a pack of wolves rushing into a flock of sheep. They encountered almost no resistance and instantly shattered the blue carrier-based aircraft fleet in the sky, leaving it in pieces. They then firmly occupied the entire sky and hovered above the blue woman's head, poised to take off.

A moment!

Two-level reversal.

The blue-clad woman in the sky looked at the sky filled with enemy carrier-based aircraft, and for the first time, a look of shock appeared on her usually stern face.

The ship's rigging beneath the woman in blue sped away, instantly putting hundreds of meters between them and Xiaobai.

With a flick of her hand, the woman in blue released a large number of carrier-based aircraft, resembling shooting stars, from the ship's rigging beneath her, forming a tight protective barrier in front of her as if facing a formidable enemy.

With the protection of the carrier-based aircraft, the woman in blue finally felt a little safer. Her blue eyes, filled with seven parts vigilance and three parts doubt, stared intently at Xiaobai's ship equipment.

"Awooo... Uh wooo... Uh%... Awooo..."

The woman in blue opened her mouth, but what came out was not human speech, but a strange language that sounded like the howling of a wild beast. The language system was not pleasant, with simple words and mixed tones, but thanks to the woman in blue's clear and excellent voice, it was still a unique auditory experience.

The sound, under the influence of a mysterious force, traveled hundreds of meters and reached Xiaobai's ears.

Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback when he heard the blue woman's voice.

This is the language of the deep sea.

Xiao Bai peeked out from behind the ship's equipment and looked in the direction of the blue woman, as if he understood something.

It seems this deep-sea dean hasn't learned human language yet.

indeed.

Most of the Deep-Sea Masters encountered by newbies at the naval base are the type who have mastered human languages ​​without any formal instruction, leading the newbie to subconsciously assume that all Deep-Sea characters in the world speak Mandarin. However, upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that Yamato's human language was patiently taught word by word by her brother, Pachina learned Mandarin by incorporating her own memories, and Musashi's Mandarin was intuitively understood by the Deep-Sea Will. Characters like Loki, Super Yamato, Ryujo, Supply Girl, and even the Savoy Kamikaze group all had experience learning human languages ​​later in life; they are the exceptions among the Deep-Sea Masters.

It seems that the Deep Sea Dean in front of me, whether he is Deep Sea Kaga or Deep Sea Akagi, is the kind of Deep Sea Dean who has absolutely no grasp of human language.

Hmm... this is what a normal Deep Sea Dean should be like.

"No wonder the communication failed just now..." Xiaobai sighed, looking at the blue woman in the distance with some worry. "If I had known this would happen, I would have asked Yamato to teach me a few phrases of the Deep Sea Dean's language..."

Since communication is impossible.

Then we'll have to resort to a slightly tougher approach.

Although he didn't know where the other Deep Sea Dean was, now that the Blue Deep Sea Dean had appeared before him, he certainly had no reason to let her go.

Xiao Bai gazed at the blue-clad woman in the distance, raised his hand, and gently pointed at her.

As Xiaobai's finger moved slightly, the B-25 carrier-based aircraft filling the sky found a common target, and in an instant, a large number of carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the Blue Deep Sea Dean like madmen.

Upon seeing the countless carrier-based aircraft flying towards her, Dean Blue Deep Sea quickly showed a look of vigilance on her face.

In the darkness and lightning, the blue-haired abbot retracted his long legs, reached into his anklet with his fingers, and pulled out a square blue talisman.

"Ouch————"

Dean Blue Deep Sea held the talisman and waved it forward. Blue light shone from her eyes, and a ring of blue deep-sea aura emanated from her and dissipated.

The next second, the talisman shattered into pieces and disappeared into the violent storm.

The next second, the rain poured down.

To Xiaobai's astonishment, the raindrops in mid-air transformed into countless sharp water blades, spinning and swirling like flying knives, before rushing towards the carrier-based aircraft that were heading towards him.

The area of ​​the storm is experiencing torrential rain, and if these water streams in mid-air were to become aggressive, they could instantly transform into an unconventional fleet comparable to land-based carrier-based aircraft.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom — I

The night sky was filled with fireworks-like explosions.

Dean Blue Deep Sea frowned as she watched the explosion in the sky. She watched as Xiaobai's carrier-based aircraft fought fiercely against the water blades formed by the storm, unable to determine a winner for a time. Her eyes were filled with doubt, as if she was wondering why her invincible move had failed to scatter Xiaobai's carrier-based aircraft.

Despite her doubts, the blue-clad woman continued her actions. She reached into her anklet again, pulled out another blue talisman, and waved it towards the aircraft.

The talisman paper tore.
