Elder brother's garrison

But what could Xiaobai do even so? Since the Deep Sea Will had been inside Xiaobai's body, it had never caused Xiaobai any trouble. Everything it did had a reason. As Xiaobai had just gotten rid of it and helped it deal with the second chapter of the sea area anomaly, Xiaobai really couldn't ignore the request made by the Deep Sea Will.

Xiaobai got dressed and then quietly pushed open the door to the house.

It was already late at night, and there wasn't a single ship girl in the courtyard. Xiaobai watched for a while, then quietly closed the door and walked outside.

Little White stepped out of Nia's courtyard gate.

"What a coincidence, Admiral, are you also taking a walk?" Then, Missouri's voice rang out behind Xiaobai.

"Eek—" Just as Xiaobai was relieved, she heard Missouri's voice and instinctively screamed in fright. However, before she could utter the first syllable, a flash of white light appeared and a slender, soft white hand covered Xiaobai's mouth.

Xiao Bai looked to the side in surprise.

Missouri was smiling at Xiaobai, and she gestured for Xiaobai to be quiet. "The Admiral came out at this time, probably because he doesn't want to be recognized. So don't accidentally shout it out. Saratoga and Bismarck have very sharp ears."

Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Missouri then withdrew her hand from Xiaobai's mouth.

"Missouri, why aren't you asleep yet at this hour?" Xiaobai asked Missouri.

"Missouri knows that you, Admiral, have already taken a nap this afternoon and might not be able to sleep tonight, so you're going out for a walk. That's why I'm waiting for you here," Missouri said to Xiaobai with a smile.

"...How long have you been waiting?"

"Yes, it will take about four or five hours."

Looking at Missouri's nonchalant, smiling expression, Xiaobai was unsure whether to be touched or frightened.

“I’m going to the first node,” Xiaobai said to Missouri.

"The first node?" Missouri looked at Xiaobai with some curiosity. "What is the Admiral doing going to such a far place so late at night?"

“…Hmm.” Little White looked at Missouri, “The Will of the Deep Sea wants me to do something for her.”

"Deep Sea Will?" Missouri looked at Xiaobai and blinked. "Ah, is she the Admiral's daughter? She came back with you too, Admiral?"

"Hahaha..." Xiaobai smiled at Missouri.

Missouri spent a considerable amount of time with herself and the Deep Sea Will during the period of discontinuity. Among the ship girls, she was probably one of the people closest to the Deep Sea Will. At this time, Shiro didn't intend to hide it from Missouri. Seeing that Missouri happened to be there, she directly confessed to her.

Where is she?

"Well, it's a bit hard to explain... In short, we can't meet so easily right now," Xiaobai said apologetically to Missouri.

"Oh, I see." Missouri thought for a moment, then smiled at Little White. "Is Missouri the only one who knows about this?"

“…I think so.”

"I see." Missouri smiled happily. "Yes."

For some reason, looking at Missouri's smile, Xiaobai felt a sense of victory, like watching a soccer player score the final goal.

"Is the Admiral going to the first node? How about Missouri taking the Admiral along?" Missouri said to Xiaobai. "Missouri is a ship girl, so her speed is definitely something to look forward to."

"Oh, that's great." Xiaobai nodded happily.

Xiaobai can actually run quite fast on his own with his ship equipment, but since he is in a man-made city, it would be too troublesome to explain if other admirals saw him running at 80 miles per second. Having Missouri as a cover is a good solution.

Missouri seemed happy to do this. After Xiaobai nodded, she squatted down in front of Xiaobai and let Xiaobai jump onto her back. Then Missouri slowly accelerated, ran out of the alley, and then went full speed ahead, turning into a white shadow. She leaped on the rooftops of the houses, and in no time, she ran out of the center of the artificial city like a gust of wind, rushing towards the first node.

The ship girl's running speed was no less than that of an ordinary train. After being on Missouri's back for a while, Xiaobai felt the whistling wind around her gradually stop.

"Admiral, we've arrived." Missouri's voice reached Xiaobai's ears.

Little White straightened up from Missouri and looked around.

Under the moonlight, the beach at the first node seemed to glow, constantly shifting between pale blue and dark gold. It was already very late, and there was no one on the beach at the first node, only the sound of the waves crashing on the shore echoing endlessly.

Missouri put Little White down.

"Um, Missouri, can you wait a moment?"

“Of course,” Missouri smiled at Little White.

Little White smiled at Missouri, then closed his eyes and drifted into his spiritual world.

Xiaobai landed back on the grass in the spiritual world. Several deep-sea phoenixes that Xiaobai had never seen before were surrounding her, while the will of the deep sea stood on the other side with its hands behind its back.

"...Haha, sorry, Missouri found out." Little White said to the Deep Sea Will with a hint of apology.

"Hmm." The Will of the Deep Sea nodded expressionlessly, it was hard to tell whether it was angry or not.

"What should we do next?"

"Go to the surface," the Deep Sea Will said to Little White. "Then find a Deep Sea Aquatic Ship, any kind will do."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was startled when he heard the words of the Deep Sea Will.

"It's alright, there won't be any danger," the Deep Sea Will said to Little White. "You can go to the surface first, and then let me take control of your ship equipment."

"Oh... I'm not afraid of danger..." Xiaobai nodded. "Then you can control it now, right?"

“Missouri is too sensitive. If I were to take control now, she would easily detect it,” the Deep Sea Will said.

Xiaobai was speechless.

After a brief conversation with the will of the deep sea, Xiaobai exited the spiritual world.

In the real world, Xiaobai opened her eyes. She looked around and saw Missouri standing beside her with a humble smile, looking obedient and compliant.

Xiaobai smiled a little sheepishly at Missouri beside her, then pointed to the sea at the first node: "Missouri, I'll wait a bit..."

“Missouri understands. Missouri will just wait here,” Missouri said.

"Uh... um." Xiaobai was a little surprised that Missouri wasn't worried about him walking on the sea alone.

Missouri laughed: "If going to the surface was the suggestion from the Deep Sea Will to the Admiral, then Missouri is relieved. She is a hundred times better than Missouri. With her around, your safety is not Missouri's concern."

Missouri's words made perfect sense, and Xiaobai was speechless.

Little White slowly walked towards the sea, leaving Missouri alone on the beach to keep watch.

Little White stepped onto the water and slowly ran towards the depths of the sea. Soon, she was far from the safe waters and entered the deep sea territory.

Xiao Bai relinquished control of her body, and the aura of the deep sea's will surged up, gradually replacing Xiao Bai's spirit.

"Phew." Little White, controlled by the will of the deep sea, let out a soft breath.

"Is the air fresher here in the real world?" After the Deep Sea Will surged up, Xiao Bai gradually lost control of her body, like an observer. Looking at the Deep Sea Will's comfortable feeling of escaping something, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"They're all the same," said the little white creature controlled by the will of the deep sea indifferently, before heading off in one direction.

"If you feel lonely in the spiritual world, you can come out more often in the future," Xiaobai said.

The little white creature controlled by the Deep Sea Will paused in its steps: "No need."

"why?"

"This is your body, not mine." The Will of the Deep Sea said this, then had no intention of continuing the conversation. She walked a little further into the sea and stopped where she was.

Just as Xiaobai, controlled by the will of the deep sea, stopped, a bunch of bubbles rose from the water in front of her. Soon, a deep-sea vessel emitting a faint red light floated up from the bottom of the water.

The deep-sea vessel that surfaced showed no hostility towards Xiaobai. She simply floated there quietly, looking at Xiaobai with some confusion.

"Hmm... barely acceptable." The Will of the Deep Sea seemed dissatisfied with this Deep Sea Abomination, but it wasn't picky either. It stretched out a hand and gently placed it on the Deep Sea Abomination's head.

Then, Xiaobai felt as if something had come out of her body, like an earthworm, and burrowed into the body of the deep-sea amphibious ship in front of her.

"Crack."

Then, something surprising happened to Xiaobai.

Just after the Deep Sea Will injected something into the Deep Sea Abomination, the obedient Deep Sea Abomination's body emitted a series of cracking sounds. Her ship equipment cracked rapidly, and even the joints of her humanoid form began to twist. In no time, the complete Deep Sea ship equipment shattered into scrap metal amidst a series of cracking sounds, leaving only the humanoid form inside the ship equipment, crawling on the water's surface, trembling slightly like a small animal.

Under the cold moonlight, the humanoid figure inside the deep-sea ship was completely naked. Its complete limbs and snow-white skin trembled incessantly as the black seawater washed over it, giving off a faint pinkish glow that evoked pity.

"Deep Sea Will... What is this?" Xiaobai looked at the deep-sea humanoid in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"Look up." The will of the deep sea did not answer Xiaobai, but gently called out to the deep-sea humanoid figure in front of it.

After hearing the voice of the Deep Sea Will, the trembling body of the Deep Sea humanoid gradually calmed down. She slowly raised her head and looked at the face of Xiaobai, which was being controlled by the Deep Sea Will.

Under the moonlight, Xiaobai could clearly see the face of this deep-sea humanoid.

Red hair, red eyes, red lips, and an adorable, innocent look and expression.

Xiaobai recognizes this face.

It was none other than Dean Xiaohong from the Deep Sea within his own body.

Chapter 639 Little Red Sister, Five Gold Pieces

On the dark water, the naked Deep Sea Phoenix remained kneeling, clutching its chest, staring blankly at the Whitey controlled by the Deep Sea Will.

Xiao Bai was stunned by what he saw.

Just seconds before, the Deep Sea Taihou kneeling before him was a rather ordinary, low-level Deep Sea Abyssal vessel.

Deep-sea minnows refer to the bottom layer of the pyramid of deep-sea ships, who are mindless and devoid of any rationality or thought. They are usually mass-produced experience containers that are repeatedly sunk and used by ship girls. As the lowest level of deep-sea form, they have not even fully developed their human form, only maintaining a half-body girl form and rough fish-like steel ship equipment.

However, this seemingly insignificant deep-sea creature, after being touched by the will of the deep sea, had its steel ship armor shatter into dust within seconds. Even its unformed humanoid form rapidly evolved in that instant, acquiring a complete body that only advanced deep-sea beings possess. Most importantly, this body was exactly the same as that of the fourth and second generation flagship of the autumn deep-sea event.

"Deep Sea Will... She, who is she?" Xiaobai asked, puzzled.

"Little Red, don't you recognize me?" Little White, controlled by the will of the deep sea, muttered to herself, and stretched out her palm, slowly bringing it close to the face of the deep sea amphibious ship in front of her.

The Deepsea Ship, which looks exactly like the Deepsea Taihou, felt Xiaobai's palm touch her cheek. She gently turned her head and moved closer to Xiaobai's palm. Then, the Deepsea Taihou skillfully opened her lips and extended her pink tongue to gently lick Xiaobai's fingertips.

"Deep Sea Will, have you released Little Red?" Little White asked the Deep Sea Will.

"No." The Will of the Deep Sea denied Little White's words. "She is still in your spiritual world."

"What's the deal with this person outside?"

“This is a split body.” The Deep Sea Will withdrew its hand from the Deep Sea Taihou’s face. Looking at the Deep Sea Taihou kneeling obediently in front of it, it slowly said, “Her spiritual body has completely merged with your spiritual world. Simply put, her root is in your body. As long as she leaves your spiritual world, no matter what the method, she will quickly wither away.”

"Oh? And this person..."

“Didn’t I say? She’s a split entity. Compared to the main body, she’s more like a branch on a tree trunk. I’ve cut her off and transplanted her to another body. She won’t die anytime soon.” The Will of the Deep Sea said, quietly extending a finger towards the Deep Sea Phoenix in front of her and pointing behind her.

After seeing the actions of the little white ship controlled by the Deep Sea Will, the Deep Sea Taihou, with a blank expression, nodded somewhat woodenly. Then, it picked up a few pieces of ship equipment debris scattered on the sea surface, barely covering its exposed front. Then, it turned around and ran towards the depths of the sea.

A pair of snow-white, perky buttocks shone like command lights under the moonlight, making it impossible to look away.

Soon, the figure of the Deep Sea Taihou disappeared into the darkness.

"...Deep Sea Will, you transferred a split version of yourself to the Deep Sea Amphibious Ship?" Xiaobai asked.

"Well, she is still the Dean of the Deep Sea. Although there are significant issues with quantity, her spiritual quality is not much worse than Yamato and Musashi. When she is transplanted into an ordinary Deep Sea Abyssal Ship, physical evolution will occur normally."

"Does she have the combat power of a dean?"

“No, spiritual evolution won’t cause physical changes in a short period of time. She will still be the same deep-sea amphibious ship she was before. By the time her physical ship equipment begins to be affected by her spirit and gradually changes towards the Dean level, the split spirit within her body will have withered away due to lack of nourishment,” the Deep Sea Will said.

"...She's going to die?"

“Strictly speaking, she didn’t die. Little Red, as the original form, still lives within your body. She can infinitely split from the original form or from the split forms of the split form. She consumes your mental energy, which you can replenish with a good night’s sleep. Her withering is simply a matter of disappearing,” the Deep Sea Will said. “I placed the split form on a Deep Sea Amphibious Ship. This way, through the connection with Little Red, I can conduct a more in-depth investigation of this sea area. Now that she’s a Deep Sea Amphibious Ship, she won’t be attacked by other Deep Sea Amphibious Ships. Moreover, with her Dean-level mental energy, she can relatively easily command the lowest-ranking Deep Sea Amphibious Ships. She can’t just linger here for a while…”

At this point, the Will of the Deep Sea stopped.

After saying that first sentence, Xiaobai remained silent and didn't say anything more.

"What are you thinking about?" the will of the deep sea asked.

"Which split is she?" Xiaobai asked.

"The one in the bedroom."

“…Oh.” Xiaobai murmured softly, then her mood became somewhat downcast.

“She is not in danger in the short term.” The Will of the Deep Sea sighed. “If you wish, you can bring her spirit back into your spiritual world later.”

"Ah, thank you!" Xiaobai's mood brightened up like a little sun again.

"I'm going back." The Deep Sea Will said somewhat sullenly, seeing that Little White seemed to have no interest in its plans. Then it returned control of the body to Little White and quickly returned to Little White's mental world.

Before Xiaobai could say anything, her mental energy surged and subsided, and she regained control of her body.

What followed was a chilling sensation of being on the icy water, and the howling sea wind in my ears like the screams of ghosts.

"Eek... Eek!" Little White didn't expect the will of the deep sea to suddenly return control of her body to her. She shrank her neck and looked at the seawater surrounding her and the occasional red light flashing in the distance. She couldn't help but feel scared.

"At the very least, send me back..." Xiaobai muttered to herself, hugging her shoulders.

However, the Will of the Deep Sea had already returned to the spiritual world. Although she could hear what Xiaobai said, the Will of the Deep Sea could no longer convey its words to Xiaobai in the real world.

Xiaobai stayed on the water for a while, until the coolness of the seawater rose up her thighs from her trouser legs, then she shivered slightly and resigned herself to her fate.

It seems the will of the deep sea has absolutely no intention of regaining control of its body.
