Elder brother's garrison

"How could that be? I'm a law-abiding citizen." Little White gave York a cheerful smile. "Entering someone else's house without permission is trespassing, you know."

"Then why did you lock the Akagi's lock, Admiral?"

“Abyssal Akagi isn’t a person or a ship girl, so she’s not protected by law,” Xiaobai said very sincerely. “Therefore, illegally invading Abyssal Akagi isn’t a crime.”

“…” York.

Xiaobai's logic was so impeccable that York couldn't find the words to refute it for a while.

Xiao Bai opened the door and walked into the room.

The room behind the door was surprisingly not small; it seemed to be a small suite with a floor area of ​​about 40 or 50 square meters and all the necessary amenities. Right in front of Xiaobai as she entered the room, there were several brand-new furniture packages, covered in dust, indicating that they had been there for some time.

Xiao Bai walked up to the furniture boxes in front of him, reached out and gently touched them. The boxes were heavy, and the outer packaging had not been opened.

Xiao Bai glanced down at the brand name on the furniture packaging; it was a well-known brand.

"Huh... That's strange." Xiaobai withdrew her hand, walked around the room, and searched through the various small rooms, but couldn't find anyone.

"Admiral, have you found Akagi of the Deep Sea?" York walked into the room behind Shiro, looking curious.

No, there's no one in this room.

"Huh? Nobody here?"

"Yes," Xiaobai replied, looking curiously at the walls of the room, muttering to herself, "Did they go out...?"

The room behind the door was much cleaner than the dilapidated hallway. It wasn't exactly clean, but it wasn't dirty either. Apart from the unopened expensive furniture in the living room, the room was originally decorated in a rather simple and cozy way, with a sense of home.

Following behind Xiaobai and the other two, Shenhai Kaga entered the room. Her calm face twitched slightly when she saw the layout of the room, and her eyes began to flash with excitement.

Kaga Fukami raised her chin, her delicate nose sniffing in mid-air.

Da da da……

As if she had discovered something, Kaga Fukami couldn't wait to run towards the bedroom under everyone's gaze. She pushed open the door and saw that there was only an empty bed and bedding in the bedroom.

"This smell..." Kaga Fukami jumped lightly, leaping onto the bed without any hesitation. He grabbed the bedding and buried his face in it, inhaling the aroma continuously.

Suddenly, a muffled hissing sound came from under the covers.

"Abyssal Kaga, have you found anything?" Shiro and the ship girls followed Abyssal Kaga into the bedroom, only to see her with her butt sticking out and buried in the blankets. Their expressions were rather strange.

Kaga Fukami's head emerged from the blankets; her white hair was slightly disheveled, but her eyes were resolute.

"This flavor is like the deep sea's red city."

"smell?"

“Yes!” Kaga Shinkai nodded. “Although the aura of the deep sea has disappeared and the connection between our spiritual powers has been severed, I will not mistake this scent.”

"Deep Sea Kaga, is your sense of smell really that sharp..." Shiro approached Deep Sea Kaga with a wry smile. She was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, a look of surprise on her face.

Huh?

Xiaobai blinked, looking at Shenhai Kaga's expression with a hint of empathy.

"Oh...no wonder..."

Xiaobai now understands why Deep Sea Kaga can smell Deep Sea Akagi's scent.

It's probably not because the Deep Sea Kaga has a particularly keen sense of smell, but rather because the Deep Sea Akagi's scent is too strong.

Even though Xiaobai was still two steps away from the bed, she could still smell a very distinct osmanthus fragrance emanating from it. Moreover, the composition of this osmanthus fragrance was quite unique. In addition to the fresh scent of the flowers, there was also a faint hint of something that could be either mint or the smell of fresh blood.

This flavor is...so unique.

Xiaobai stopped and looked at Shenhai Kaga, who was deeply engrossed in breathing in the bedding of Shenhai Akagi.

"Is this... the scent of Akagi from the Deep Sea?" Xiaobai asked.

“Mm.” Kaga Fukami nodded.

"That's really incredible..." Xiaobai exclaimed.

The lingering scent on the bed was so strong that Xiaobai couldn't even imagine how fragrant it would be if Akagi's body were placed in front of him.

So the book's description of girls with a "naturally fragrant body" wasn't just nonsense after all...

This goes beyond what a natural body odor can achieve; it's even more effective than a large amount of artificial fragrances on the market...

"Her body always smelled wonderful." Kaga Fukami reluctantly put down the bedding in her hands and explained to Shiro, "The scent was very pleasant."

"Hmm... I can roughly guess." Xiaobai also walked to the bedside, bent down and sniffed carefully.

The scent of Akagi from the Deep Sea is indeed very pleasant. This unique osmanthus fragrance mixed with a cool feeling can be intoxicating without you even realizing it.

Chapter 2370 Kidnapping

"Is Akagi's body scent always like this?" Shiro asked Akagi, who was lying on the bed, as she regained consciousness.

“Mm.” Kaga Fukami nodded.

"Is it her ship equipment capabilities, or simply her physical constitution?"

“It’s her constitution,” Kaga Fukami replied, her memory seemingly drifting back to a long time ago. “Even if it’s a rock on the sea, as long as she lies down and rests for a while, her fragrance will linger for a long time.”

"This is really something." Xiaobai bent down and touched Deep Sea Akagi's bed, then raised his hand and sniffed his palm.

Although the bedding smelled wonderful, as if it had been infused with spices, Xiaobai's palms had no scent at all.

According to Deep Sea Akagi, her body odor seems to have an extremely strong adhesion ability, but for some reason, this adhesion property is limited to direct contact. Actions like Xiaobai's attempt to use bedding that Deep Sea Akagi has used for secondary adhesion will not produce any effect.

What a peculiar constitution.

"Deep Sea Kaga, since you know so much about Deep Sea Akagi's body scent, can you tell when the scent on these bedding was last applied?" Xiaobai seemed to have found a breakthrough point and asked Deep Sea Kaga.

"Hmm..." Kaga Fukami closed his eyes, picked up the pillow in his hands and sniffed it. "Judging from how much this smell has dissipated, it's probably been there for a long time."

"How long does 'a long time' mean?"

"It's at least... the equivalent of sixty or seventy days and nights."

“Two months…” Xiaobai frowned.

The last time Akagi used this bed was at least two months ago.

In other words, Akagi Fukami hasn't been home for at least two months?

Xiao Bai recalled the dusty furniture in the living room, which indeed matched the characteristics of being uninhabited for several months.

Xiaobai thoughtfully surveyed Akagi's bedroom, going straight to the wardrobe, bedside table, and even the desk and chairs, trying to find any traces left by Akagi. However, the wardrobe and bedside table were empty, and there were no notes or anything of noteworthy significance on the desk and chairs.

After searching to no avail, Xiaobai sighed helplessly.

“It seems that Deepsea Akagi has really been gone for a long time,” Xiaobai said regretfully. “No wonder Miss Yu Gan has never seen Deepsea Akagi since she moved in. I guess Deepsea Akagi left when Miss Yu Gan moved in.”

"Where did she go?" York asked instinctively.

"I don't know..."

Xiaobai answered in a murmur, secretly glancing at Shenhai Kaga on the bed.

To be honest, the search results weren't very good.

Xiaobai wasn't bothered by not finding Deep Sea Akagi, but rather by the fact that the discovery at Deep Sea Akagi's house wasn't ideal.

The state of Akagi's home was such that all the furniture was neatly arranged, and the everyday items were all in their proper places. Judging from the state of these items, the owner of this room did not seem like the type of person who was considering moving. However, Akagi had not been home for several months...

After much thought, the only explanation I can come up with is that Akagi in the deep sea has encountered an unexpected situation.

So what happened to Akagi in the Deep Sea that caused her to suddenly not return home for several months...?

Considering that Akagi is currently a beautiful woman with no strength to fight back, and lives alone in a slum... this so-called "sudden event" is probably not a good thing.

With that in mind, Xiaobai left the bedroom and carefully searched the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and other places again.

There were still no noteworthy clues. Akagi's life in the deep sea was too bland. There were no electronic products such as TVs, computers, and mobile phones in this room, and there wasn't even a remote control in the whole room.

Xiaobai returned to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Kaga was carefully folding Akagi's bedding. Upon seeing Shiro return, Kaga stopped and looked at Shiro with a devout and trusting gaze.

The incredibly capable human admiral in front of me only spent one day leading me to Akagi's residence in the Deep Sea. This was something I hadn't been able to do even after months of frantic activity on the high seas. If I just obediently listened to her, maybe I could find Akagi herself in another day!

Kaga's trust in Shiro is rapidly increasing.

Facing Kaga's gaze, Shiro could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

"Deep Sea Kaga".

"exist."

"Let's go," Xiaobai said.

"?" Kaga tilted her head in confusion. "Aren't we waiting here for Akagi to return?"

“Akagi hasn’t been back for over two months, and she probably won’t be back anytime soon.” To avoid upsetting Kaga, Shiro didn’t tell her that Akagi might have met with some misfortune. Instead, she said, “In order to help you find Akagi sooner, we need to go out and look for her.”

"Ok!"

Deep Sea Kaga was deeply moved when she heard Shiro's words. She never expected that this human admiral would think of her so much. So she got off the bed and followed Shiro with conviction.

Xiaobai and the other three left Chicheng's room and headed downstairs.

"Admiral, how are we going to find Akagi in the Deep Sea?" York asked Shiro curiously as they walked downstairs.

“When Akagi was still living here, she must have been quite conspicuous. There must have been quite a few people who paid attention to her. After we go down, we can knock on doors and ask around. Maybe we can find out where Akagi is.” Xiaobai said without much confidence, then bit her lip and thought for a while before adding, “Hmm… or we can go back and ask Miss Yu Gan to help us find out where Akagi is recently.”

"Oh, right, and Miss Yu Gan too!" York's mood brightened immediately upon hearing this. "Miss Yu Gan helped us find Akagi's residence this time. Let's ask her again later; maybe she can even help us find Akagi herself!"

"I hope so..." Xiaobai nodded.

The Governor's Office should theoretically be more adept at searching for Akagi, but Akagi's identity in the Deep Sea is too special, so Xiaobai definitely can't entrust this task to the Governor's Office. After thinking it over, the only people she can ask for help are Yu Gan and her wild guide friends.

Hey……

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but smile, revealing a helpless smile.

The greatest stroke of luck I've had since arriving in Peicheng is probably meeting Miss Yu Gan... Whether it's searching for the Deep Sea Twin Deans or the Deep Sea Akagi, everything I want to do has made rapid progress thanks to Miss Yu Gan, it's like divine intervention. What's even more amazing is that she took the initiative to come to my side as soon as I got off the train. In this sense, Miss Yu Gan might just be my lucky star for this trip.

As a top-tier African player who has never been able to ship anything, Xiaobai still believes in metaphysics.

Lucky stars are too much of a luxury for beginners.

After everything is over, I need to find some time to properly thank Ms. Yu Gan...

Stepping out of the dilapidated building, Xiaobai headed towards the spot where she had just parted ways with Yu Gan, waving and calling out as she went.

"Miss Yu Gan—"

Xiao Bai's calls echoed in the open space where Yu Gan was waiting.

"..."

The open space where Yugan is located is quiet and peaceful.

"Huh? Where's Miss Yu Gan?"

Xiao Bai stopped in his tracks, puzzled.

The open space in front of them was flat and unobstructed, and there wasn't a soul in sight.

Xiao Bai initially thought that Yu Gan had been waiting for him for too long and had gone somewhere to sit and rest, which was why he hadn't seen her immediately. However, after she arrived at the open space and took in the entire area, Xiao Bai realized that Yu Gan hadn't been there at all.

The environment on the open ground was eerily quiet, the sunlight was dim, and the wind blew up dust and sand, making the scene unsettling.

Xiaobai lowered her head and gently rubbed the yellow sand on the ground with her shoe. She looked at the footprints she had rubbed into the sand, and thoughtfully searched the area. Sure enough, she found a patch of scattered footprints on the ground nearby.

Xiao Bai walked to the scattered footprints and looked down to examine them for a few moments.

There were many footprints on the ground, all fresh, seemingly made not long ago. Most of these footprints were wide and deep. Xiaobai quickly found a pair of footprints in the very center that matched the girl Yu Gan's footprints. These footprints left a long trail on the ground, scattering the yellow sand, but eventually, surrounded by more wide footprints, they were dragged away in one direction and disappeared.

"Oh no!" Xiaobai's eyes widened, and her face instantly turned pale.

"Admiral, what's wrong?" Baltimore approached worriedly. "Did something happen to Miss Yugan?"

"Judging from the footprints on the ground, Miss Yu Gan must have been forcibly taken away by someone after we went upstairs," Xiao Bai said, pointing to the footprints on the ground.

"Huh? Are they debt collectors?"

"It shouldn't be. I've already spoken to the Governor's Mansion. The local loan sharks shouldn't bother Miss Yu Gan anymore. Besides, this isn't Miss Yu Gan's home. How could the debt collectors be so resourceful as to be able to pinpoint Miss Yu Gan's location even when she's out? That's outrageous..."

“Then…that means…” York suddenly had a flash of inspiration and his eyes widened.

"Miss Yu Gan...she's been kidnapped by a mysterious organization!?"
