"Yes, you guessed my identity just now, didn't you?" the white-haired girl said. "I am the owner of this hell, so I have the power to control the souls of the ship girls here, right?"
"What...what are you going to do with my soul?!" The ship girl suddenly stepped back, desperately hugging herself.
"..." The white-haired girl looked at the ship girl, smiled with her lips pursed, "Don't be so nervous. I just want to tell you that, given your previous diligence, I'm going to give you a chance to be resurrected."
"resurrection?"
"Yes, resurrection."
You mean... I can leave here?
"Correct."
"...You're not kidding?"
A promise made is a promise kept.
"Lord Yama!" The ship girl immediately knelt down with a thud, pouting at Xiaobai with immense gratitude, "You...you have to keep your word! When I'm resurrected, I'll definitely tell my admiral about meeting you, I...I'll offer you incense at home every day!"
"Then thank you," the white-haired girl said with a smile.
"Then...then, Lord Yama, my two teammates..." The ship girl immediately looked at her two unconscious companions beside her, and then looked hopefully at the white-haired girl.
"Don't worry, I'll take you all back," the white-haired girl said.
"Lord Yama!" The ship girl was immediately moved and raised her arms, as if she was about to kowtow three times and kneel nine times to the white-haired girl in front of her.
The white-haired girl immediately stopped the ship girl, waving and smiling at her.
"Alright, alright, no need to thank me so much. What's that saying again? Good people are rewarded. This is your good fortune."
"Thank you, Lord Yama, sob... thank you..." The ship girl wiped her eyes with emotion. "I'm sorry, Lord Yama, I just said you were on the side of the deep sea, but it turns out you're so good to ship girls too!"
"..."
"Lord Yama, um... what preparations are needed to revive me?" the ship girl immediately asked again.
"I'm not prepared." The white-haired girl shook her head, opened her arms to the ship girl, and gave her a very maternal smile. "Relax and come into my arms."
The ship girl stared blankly at the white-haired girl, at her face, which, despite its youthful features, was inexplicably suited to that maternal smile.
"Yes, is that so?"
The ship girl instinctively reached out and grabbed the white-haired girl's wrist, then nestled into the white-haired girl's arms like a child, resting her head on the white-haired girl's chest.
what……
The King of Hell has such a magnanimous heart...
The ship girl thought to herself.
As this thought arose, the ship girl felt the girl who was embracing her gently raise her palm, her slender fingers touching her forehead.
My fingers were warm and soft, carrying a faint fragrance of osmanthus.
The ship girl suddenly felt very safe. The next second, an inexplicable drowsiness enveloped her, as if an invisible and intangible warm wave covered her, causing her to slowly close her eyes.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep..."
"Everything will be alright once you wake up..."
In the last second before falling asleep, the ship girl heard the gentle murmur of the white-haired girl.
……
……
"done."
After erasing the memories of the ship girl in his arms, the Deep Sea Will, which had been temporarily asked by Xiaobai to help, threw its body back to Xiaobai and then disappeared back into Xiaobai's mental space.
"Ah... Deep Sea Will, thank you..." After Xiaobai returned to her body, she felt the ship girl in her arms fall into an exceptionally sweet sleep. She first stroked the ship girl's hair, then called out to the air with a smile, "Thank you for your help again this time."
"It's just erasing a dozen or so minutes of fresh memories, it's not difficult." The voice of the Deep Sea Will echoed in Xiaobai's ears. "But I'm a little curious, you seem to have a lot of free time today. Why were you willing to play along with this ship girl just now? Compared to explaining these unnecessary things to her, we just pinned her to the ground and forcibly erased her memories. The result wouldn't be any different, would it?"
"Oh dear... this isn't because of our fault that she accidentally woke up... this is kind of after-sales service." Xiaobai scratched her head a little embarrassedly. "What if she got scared and was traumatized? Besides, if she cooperated more, the impact of memory erasure on her would be minimal, right?"
"……snort."
There was a moment of silence, followed by a short hum, and then silence again.
The will of the deep sea returned completely to the spiritual world and never spoke again.
Xiaobai put the ship girl in her arms on the ground, then turned her head and called out to a hidden corner of the hall.
"Super Yamato, you can come over now."
"Wow."
As soon as Xiaobai's call ended, a tall, voluptuous, black-clad figure cautiously appeared from beside the pillar.
Oversized and bending over, she ducked to avoid several beams hanging overhead and quickly walked to Xiaobai's side.
Chaoda blinked as she looked at the three ship girls lying peacefully on the ground.
"Admiral, those three..." Chao Da asked in a low voice.
"The three of them are fine now. We'll just drop them off on the patrol fleet's route, and that'll be considered as if they rescued us," Xiaobai said to Chaodahe with a smile. "We'll go together then."
"Ah... okay." Super Yamato nodded upon hearing this, her gaze lightening considerably as she looked at the three ship girls on the ground. "...I never imagined that the missing ship girls would be rescued by the Abyssal Taihou..."
"That's why I say Xiaohong and the others are so capable." Xiaobai smiled and patted Chao Yamato on the shoulder, looking proud and proud. "As expected of the people from our rookie naval base, both the ship girls and the deep-sea deans are very capable."
Hearing Xiaobai's words, Chaoda nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing with him.
Chapter 4004 Questions and Answers
Before carrying the three unconscious ship girls, Xiaobai carefully checked their condition again to ensure that there were no remaining memories of the deep-sea city in their minds.
The deep-sea city is one of the biggest secrets of the newbie naval base at this stage, and the existence of such territory cannot be casually revealed to people outside the naval base.
These three ship girls were rescued from the deep-sea gathering point by the Taihou, and in principle, they were innocent people who suffered an undeserved disaster... But since it concerns the newbie naval base, Xiaobai still has to ensure that after the three of them leave, they do not retain any memories of the deep-sea city in their minds.
This is for the good of newbies, for the good of the naval base... and also for their good, and even more so for the good of Chapter 8.
After all, Xiaobai simply couldn't imagine the terrifying chaos that would ensue if human society discovered the presence of these thousands of Deep Sea Deans in the Deep Sea City.
Xiaobai's hand gently brushed across the brows of the three ship girls, and threads of spiritual energy flowed in and out of their bodies before finally dissipating at Xiaobai's fingertips.
Xiao Bai, sensing the thoughts carried by the spiritual power, nodded with some relief.
These three ship girls... two of them remained unconscious the entire time, with no memory of the deep-sea city in their minds.
As for the remaining ship girl who had interacted with Shiro...
The memories of the deep-sea city and Xiaobai in her mind had been gently and skillfully erased by the Deep Sea Will. The Deep Sea Will's method of erasing her memories was different from the past; it was very gentle. It did not rudely cut off those ten minutes of memories directly, but used its exquisite and meticulous mental power to make those ten minutes of memories quite blurry. It is estimated that when this ship girl wakes up again, she will probably only feel that she had a very absurd dream, but she can't remember the specific plot at all.
This level of memory erasure has the least impact on the ship girls. It seems that the Deep Sea Will, having been by their side for so long, has gradually learned the gentleness of humans.
Thinking about this, Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
After confirming the situation of the three ship girls, Xiaobai handed them over to Chao Yamato and then left the construction building with Chao Yamato.
Outside the construction building, the giant phoenixes are working busily.
When they noticed several people leaving the building without hard hats, they immediately stopped their work again. The former site safety officer, Taihou, whistled loudly as she ran aggressively towards Shiro.
Judging from the way the safety officer, Da Feng, looked, it seemed like she was about to give each of Xiao Bai and his group of five a heavy flick on the head.
However, when the safety officer, Dafeng, approached, she quickly recognized Xiaobai's face.
Immediately afterward, the safety officer Da Feng's fierce face transformed into one of innocence, and even her steps as she ran towards Xiao Bai suddenly became much lighter and softer.
In a few quick steps, safety officer Dafeng lightly pounced into Xiaobai's arms, hugging his waist and rubbing her face against his chest.
"Little Red, you guys did a great job today!" Little White smiled and raised his hand to stroke Deep Sea Phoenix's head through its helmet.
"..." Safety officer Dafeng raised her head and looked at Xiaobai with a slightly dazed and cute face that, while expressionless, seemed to be filled with a hint of excitement.
"Sigh, it's been a while since I've been back. I didn't expect that in just a few weeks, Chapter Eight would be even more prosperous than before." Xiaobai stroked Deep Sea Phoenix's helmet while casting a gratified glance around.
During the few weeks that Xiaobai returned to the newbie naval base, the Deep Sea Taihou on the eighth chapter side were anything but idle. With ample supplies, they displayed an efficiency and speed far exceeding any human construction team Xiaobai had ever known. Xiaobai remembered that when she last came to the deep-sea city in the eighth chapter, the Deep Sea Taihou had only rebuilt a few buildings in a small area of the city center according to their original appearance. But this time when she returned, she found that the Deep Sea Taihou had rebuilt almost half of the deep-sea city into a gleaming sight.
With a simple glance, the black spire in the city center in the distance and the intricate overpasses are faintly visible. Centered on the black spire, rows of houses have been built around it, and all the newly rebuilt buildings gleam with a bright silver glow.
Most of these buildings do not resemble the skyscrapers found in human society. All of them seem to have been rebuilt by the deep-sea giants using existing resources, based on the original collapsed ruins and fragments, by groping and reconstructing blueprints.
The rows of bright silver lights stretched from the distance all the way to the front, dazzling Xiaobai a little.
In some ways, the deep-sea city is even better preserved than when Xiaobai first came here.
"Xiao Hong, in these buildings that you've already constructed... have things like windows and dormitories been installed as well?" Xiao Bai suddenly asked Da Feng, the safety officer in front of her.
"..." Safety officer Dafeng didn't speak, but she nodded prettily, and then gestured to Xiaobai with her hands and feet.
Safety officer Taifeng's gestures were very chaotic, but Xiaobai still understood what she was trying to say—simply put, these buildings had all been inspected and tested by the deep-sea Taifengs themselves, and were absolutely safe and meticulously constructed.
When Xiaobai looked at the Deep Sea Taihou, a smile immediately appeared in her eyes.
“I see, then I’m relieved.” Xiaobai said, looking around at the surroundings. “Hmm… the abyssal atmosphere here is quite strong, not suitable for humans to live in for a long time… but if it’s just for the ship girls and the abyssal deans to use, it would be a pretty good city… When Xiaohong and you build a few more streets in the future, I can even bring the ship girls from the naval base over and use this place as the base for the second newbie naval base.”
Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, safety officer Dafeng immediately stepped forward, tugged at Xiaobai's sleeve, then stood on tiptoe and waved her hands twice.
The safety officer, Dafeng, meant that if Xiaobai had any special needs, they could directly build the corresponding structures for her.
"Just build it as you see fit, I trust your aesthetic sense," Xiaobai said to the safety officer, Dafeng.
"..." Safety officer Dafeng blinked, looking thoughtfully at Xiaobai's smile.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing." As Xiaobai said this, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the Deep Sea Taihou, "Little Red, do you know that a very mysterious black tower has recently appeared in the sea area of node 8-4?"
"..." Safety officer Dafeng looked at Xiaobai and nodded.
After all, Xiaobai had instructed the Abyssal Taihou to pay close attention to the Chapter 8 sea area and try to rescue some ship girls who had accidentally capsized and been abducted by the Abyssal. Xiaobai's rescue order is still in effect, so the Abyssal Taihou regularly patrol the entire sea area every day. As for the incident of such a huge mysterious black tower suddenly appearing at node 8-4, even the ship girls on the shore and the admiral's guild knew about it, so there was no reason why the Abyssal Taihou wouldn't know.
Seeing that the safety officer, Dafeng, nodded, Xiaobai immediately asked another question.
"Did you build the Black Tower at node 8-4?"
"...?" Safety officer Taifeng looked confused. She blinked and then shook her head.
Although the art style is somewhat similar, the Black Tower was not built by the Deep Sea Taihou.
"Sigh... I knew it." When Xiaobai saw Shenhai Taifeng shake her head, she wasn't too surprised. She patted the safety officer Taifeng on the head and said, "When I first saw that black tower, I thought you guys had come up with some amazing research results while studying rune script."
"..." Safety officer Dafeng.
"Alright, I'm fine here." Xiaobai pointed to the three super-large and heavily carried ship girls behind her, and smiled at the Deep Sea Taihou in front of her. "Xiaohong, could you call a few Xiaohongs over for me later? We'll hand these three ship girls over to the search and rescue team."
……
Actually, Xiaobai had just arrived from the Admiral's Guild.
Just a few minutes ago, she was still handling work at the Admiral's Guild, but the Deepsea Taihous conveyed to Shiro the news that they had rescued three ship girls.
Here's the thing... Although the deep-sea Taihou generally don't have cell phones and live in deep-sea cities almost completely cut off from the outside world, seemingly lacking communication capabilities at first glance, there is actually a so-called "Taihou Network" among them. If the deep-sea Taihou in the deep-sea city want to, they can directly transmit a simple thought like "wanting to see Shiro" to a deep-sea Taihou in another location thousands of miles away, and then the deep-sea Taihou in that location can use any communication tool at hand to contact Shiro.
Besides the deep-sea cities, Xiaobai has personally placed the Deep-Sea Taihou in the newbie naval base, the Admiral's Guild, or even the People's Hospital in the city near Nanxing, assigning them different duties.
On the other side of the deep-sea giant phoenix in human society... at least there are cell phones available.
Therefore, it is not difficult for the deep-sea giants to contact Shiro.
While at the Admiral's Guild, Xiaobai had already learned a little about what happened on the sea surface at 8-4 from the messages relayed back by the patrol team. This included not only the appearance of the new deep-sea amphibious ship, but also the fact that a ship girl team encountered a deep-sea missile ship, resulting in the disappearance of three ship girls. The patrol team ship girls immediately mobilized ship girls from other naval bases to carry out search and rescue operations.
So when Xiaobai received the message from the Deep Sea Taihou and learned that they had retrieved three ship girls from the Deep Sea gathering point, she immediately understood the origin of these three ship girls.
Chapter 4005 What is the Admiral doing?
When Xiaobai and Chao Yamato left the Admiral's Guild and quickly arrived at the Deep Sea City using Chao Yamato's vortex portal, and then rushed to the location where the Deep Sea Taihou had casually settled the three ship girls they had rescued, it was just the moment when one of the three rescued ship girls woke up.
This is also why Xiaobai had a conversation with that ship girl.
As for why that ship girl woke up... it's probably because her ship equipment was repaired and she was awakened by the surrounding deep-sea atmosphere.
Some of the more sensitive ship girls are indeed like that.
Although they are not afraid of the deep sea air, it is like a natural cold air to them.
……
Shiro, Super Yamato, and three other Abyssal Taihou carrying the unconscious ship girl left the Abyssal city and arrived in the Abyssal waters at node 8-4.
Upon reaching the depths of node 8-4, Xiaobai briefly used the Admiral Network to search the surrounding environment and quickly discovered that in a vast area of the sea, an astonishing number of ship girls were moving in and out of one deep-sea gathering point after another, searching for the missing ship girls.
If we compare the sea map to a pitch-black curtain, then the figures of these ship girls at this moment are like countless small red dots moving on the curtain.
"These ship girls are so kind-hearted..." Xiaobai exclaimed.
