"It's something like praying to Buddha for protection," Xiaobai said. "Like praying for blessings and warding off disasters."
"But I haven't done anything," the company muttered to itself. "Why would they worship me?"
Xiao Bai responded with a polite smile.
You know what, maybe praying to a business is actually more cost-effective than spending money to go to a temple to pray to gods and Buddhas.
This is a living, breathing chosen one.
However, the company itself doesn't seem to realize how lucky it is.
Honestly, it's really frustrating to see people who have extraordinary abilities yet always think they're just ordinary.
That's enough of the small talk.
Xiaobai and the company walked towards the back of the school.
Behind the school is a very large beach, and at the end of the beach stands a town hall made of bricks and tiles.
This garrison is much smaller than Xiaobai's.
It's less of a naval base and more like a slightly larger seaside cottage.
On this vast beach, even a company could find no reason to be distracted, and the two walked straight toward the distant naval base.
It's worth mentioning that ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to approach the naval base under normal circumstances. Even in a peaceful city like Yushu, the naval base is a strictly controlled military institution, and even someone like Xiaobai cannot approach it without a key.
—Except for her brother's garrison.
The naval base doesn't welcome newbies, but it doesn't object to humans approaching either. This rule was established by the young naval commander to make it easier for them to take taxis.
Thinking about it this way, Xiaobai's brother is really a fool in every sense of the word.
"Admiral, there are people over there." As they approached the naval base's cordon, Enterprise suddenly pointed to the beach not far away.
"Where?" Xiaobai looked in the direction of the company.
The place the company was referring to was where the beach met the sea; all Xiaobai could see in that direction was a sea of blue.
Xiaobai's eyesight is definitely not comparable to that of the ship girls.
Ah, I can't see it clearly.
Suddenly, Xiaobai felt his eyes become bright for some reason.
Just like a lens suddenly focusing, the field of vision expands in an instant.
Then, she saw in the direction the company was pointing that there was a person sitting in the sea, looking out into the distance.
Ah, I see it.
It felt just like when I was leaving Corola Island; Xiaobai suddenly saw the fake Ella on the tower.
The company employee felt their vision becoming slightly blurry.
She wiped her eyes, looking somewhat puzzled.
Hmm? Didn't you sleep well last night?
"Why is someone sitting there?" Xiaobai's voice came from the company as they were contemplating life.
"Shall we go take a look?" Xiaobai turned to the company and asked.
The company felt that the blurred vision gradually disappeared.
"Is Qigong feeling unwell?" Xiaobai asked worriedly when Qigong didn't reply and instead rubbed its eyes. "Did sand get into its eyes?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing." Enterprise shook its head. "Let's go take a look at that person."
"Okay." Xiaobai nodded.
The person's location was quite strange. If you really want to see the sea, there are plenty of places in Yuxiu. There's no need to look from near the garrison's perimeter. Besides, when Xiaobai looked over, the person wasn't wearing a swimsuit and was sitting too close to the sea, with half of their body submerged.
—Is he trying to kill himself?
If so, then we should go and take a look.
Xiaobai and the company walked over there.
Although the company seemed to be pointing easily, the person's location was actually quite far from Xiaobai's. It took quite a while before the distance was reduced to a point where Xiaobai, an ordinary high school student, could see them.
It's a man, no, it should be a boy.
He looks quite young from behind.
I was sitting in the sea, and the seawater was almost up to my chest.
"Admiral, the water's a bit deep up ahead, watch your clothes," Enterprise warned as Xiaobai was about to step into the water.
"Okay, okay." Xiaobai estimated the depth of the water around the boy.
The water was about knee-deep.
Xiaobai is wearing a skirt today, so it won't be too much trouble if she goes into the water; she can just take off her shoes and socks and put them on the beach.
"Wait a minute, I'll take off my shoes." Xiaobai said, lifting her leg to take off her shoes.
"Actually, Admiral, you don't need to come with me. I can go by myself," Enterprise said, lifting her foot to step on the water.
When the company's feet touched the water, it felt like stepping on hard concrete. The company nimbly jumped onto the sea surface without making much of a splash, and stood steadily on the water.
"Anyway, since we're sharing vision, it doesn't matter whether you come along or not, Admiral," Enterprise said.
"Ah, that's true." Xiaobai nodded after being reminded by the company. "Then I'll stay here."
Xiao Bai walked a few meters behind him and sat down in a relatively dry spot.
She closed her eyes and activated the Admiral Network.
The company stood on the sea, feeling a surge of energy flowing through its body, and stretched comfortably.
"That's really comfortable," the company exclaimed.
This network of admirals, where one can clearly feel themselves becoming stronger, is as addictive as some kind of drug.
Although if the owner of this network is affected by some external influence, the network will turn into something else that is frightening.
"Can the admiral see it clearly?" the company asked.
Xiaobai nodded.
When the marker in the enterprise's equipment is activated, Xiaobai can share the enterprise's five senses, which in a sense is like entering the enterprise's body.
The man walked towards the boy in the distance.
The boy seemed not to hear the company approaching.
The company approached the boy.
"Huh?" Xiaobai was surprised after seeing the boy's face clearly through the company's eyes.
Xiao Bai actually knows this guy.
It is Baiyinwu.
The boy in that class who didn't bring his history book. I'd met him once before I became a teacher.
"Admiral, do you know him?" Xiaobai shared the five senses with Enterprise, and she could sense the fluctuations in Xiaobai's heart.
“Yes, they are students in the class,” Xiaobai replied.
The two of them don't need to be far apart to have a conversation. As they say, they can share their five senses. They can have a conversation by talking to themselves and sharing their hearing.
"Hmm... I see." Enterprise stood on the sea, squatted down facing Shiro Yinwu, and examined him carefully. "Admiral, something's not right about this person."
Bai Yinwu sat on the sea, staring blankly ahead.
His eyes were blank, as if his soul had been taken away.
The existence of the company was not noticed.
"what happened?"
“He looks like a dog,” the company said.
"Don't joke around with people."
"Oh." Enterprise reached out and poked Bai Yinwu's forehead. "No, I'm serious. This guy is really spacing out. How did he get here? Did he fall asleep?"
Bai Yinwu was poked on the forehead with a finger by the company, her body shaking back and forth, but she still hadn't come to her senses.
"Did he break up with his girlfriend, or what? Did he suffer some kind of fatal blow?" Enterprise muttered to himself with some curiosity, then flicked Bai Yinwu's forehead with a flick of his wrist.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yinwu fell backward.
Like a sculpture, it suddenly plunged into the water with a splash.
Chapter 140 Entering Yuxiu's Garrison
Looking around, all that could be seen was a chaotic white-gray expanse.
This was the first time Bai Yin had seen the surrounding scenery.
Ah, I'm dreaming again.
Bai Yinwu thought to herself, looking around.
The grayish-white chaos before my eyes was like thick smoke, impossible to disperse, so thick that I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face.
The muffled sound of water echoed in my ears like thunder, making me feel uneasy.
Glug glug glug glug...
A sound came from the other side of the sky.
The sound, filtered through the water, sounded like a broken iron gong, which was irritating.
The annoying sound, accompanied by the sound of water, still reached my ears.
The sound source gradually approaches and amplifies.
Bai Yinwu squinted his eyes and listened carefully.
"*%..."
The sounds were chaotic and disordered, like the howls of wild beasts and the cries of women.
"*%..."
Suddenly, as if something had covered his nose, Bai Yinwu gradually found it difficult to breathe.
He struggled.
However, the surrounding chaos was like viscous water, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not get rid of the suffocating feeling.
—The surrounding murky waters began to brighten.
"Ugh!" Bai Yin sat up abruptly from the seawater, coughing and gagging violently as if he had eaten expired cheese and herring, as if he were about to vomit his lungs out. "Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough gagging—"
"Oh. You're alive again." A woman's voice came from in front of Bai Yinwu.
frivolous and bland.
This kind of voice, which sounded like someone watching a play, made Bai Yinwu feel indignant.
Damn it, I've suffered so much, and instead of comforting me, you're kicking me while I'm down!
"Cough cough, you, cough, who are you?!" Bai Yinwu then realized that he was sitting in the water. He raised his head and looked ahead. "Why did you bring me here... Huh?!"
The harsh words were only halfway through when Bai Yinwu swallowed them back down.
Because in front of Bai Yinwu, there was a very beautiful woman squatting down and looking at him.
That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the woman is crouching on the water.
The delicate sandals feel like stepping on your own floor, or like stepping on water, creating ripples.
It's normal for a sandal to float on water, but it's illogical for a woman weighing at least 80 pounds to be standing on it and still float.
This thing, which absolutely violates the laws of physics, is violently impacting Bai Yinwu's physical worldview.
"You are... a ship girl?" Bai Yinwu looked at the woman and murmured in shock.
"Oh, kid, you've got potential." The woman smiled at Bai Yinwu. "Hello, let me introduce myself, my name is Enterprise."
Her face, as exquisite as a CG animation, her sapphire-clear pupils, and her long golden hair, like a waterfall cast from gold, were all frantically assaulting Bai Yinwu's spirit.
Bai Yinwu withdrew his gaze and looked around.
