It was quiet for a while.
“In—” The woman’s voice rang out again in the darkness.
"here it is--"
From the darkness, a woman's melodious voice paused slightly.
"—Hell."
Chapter 1504 Long Xiang's Innocence
In the darkness, the candlelight flickered.
The ethereal female voice quickly faded back into the surrounding darkness.
"Huh?" Deep Sea Dragon was stunned. She stared wide-eyed at the impenetrable darkness before her, her face turning deathly pale. "Hell...?"
The power of the Deep Sea Dean seems to have completely disappeared from Deep Sea Dragon's body, so much so that Deep Sea Dragon is not only unable to muster the enormous strength that belongs to the Deep Sea Amphibious Ship level, but has even lost the ability to see into the darkness at night.
"We...we're in hell now??" Deep Sea Dragon murmured, suddenly squatting down on the ground, her face filled with disbelief, yet she had no choice but to accept it, clutching her head and beginning to tremble. "Huh? We...we've been sunk...?"
Memories flowed back into the mind of the Deep Sea Dragon.
Deepsea Ryujo quickly recalled that he had coughed up blood and fainted in the arms of the ship girl named Missouri.
Yes...that's right.
I think I fainted in that ship girl's arms earlier...
So, it turns out that the ship girl really did sink me while I was unconscious, after I had lost my usefulness?
"Damn it—" Deep Sea Dragon cried out softly, clutching his head, his face filled with the grief of being betrayed. "You, you actually took advantage of me in my moment of weakness—"
As Shenhai Longxiang finished speaking, a chill suddenly swept over from the boundless darkness, seeping into his collar and causing him to instinctively shiver and hug his arms tightly.
"Hiss—it's so cold... Can't we use shipboard power here...?"
Having lost its deep-sea power, the Deep-Sea Dragon hurriedly rubbed its arms, huddled in a dark corner looking around blankly.
But just like before, apart from the flickering candlelight, all around was a darkness that even the eyes of a deep-sea dragon could not penetrate.
"Ha ha……"
In the darkness, a woman's soft laughter drifted by.
The voice was ethereal, seemingly both near and far, carrying a faint echo and a scrutinizing quality, causing the deep-sea dragon's heart to pound faster.
"You, what are you going to do?"
Shenhai Longxiang felt a faint sense of familiarity in the voice, which flashed through her mind but was quickly overshadowed by her flustered emotions.
"Since we're in hell... then it's time to settle the score."
A woman's voice drifted by.
"Settle...settlement?"
The Deep Sea Dragon blinked in confusion.
“Exactly.” The woman’s voice drifted across the deep-sea dragon’s face. “The deeds of all living beings in the world, whether good or evil, are counted in the dark, and will be settled after they are buried.”
"..." Deep Sea Dragon, huddled in the corner, crossed his arms and stared blankly at the darkness and candlelight before him. "Uh... how, how do we settle this?"
“Those who lie countless times will have their tongues pulled out; those who pick locks and steal will have their hands chopped off; those who are lazy and gluttonous will be sent to the mountains of knives; those who outwardly comply but inwardly defy will be sent to the sea of fire…” The woman’s voice was light and airy as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
But as Shenhai Longxiang, huddled in the corner, listened to the woman's voice, his already pale face grew paler and paler, and even his lips trembled.
“Pulling out…pulling out the tongue, cutting off the hands…climbing mountains of knives and plunging into seas of fire…this…this…” Shenhai Longxiang’s shoulders trembled uncontrollably as she listened. She covered her head and kept moving backward until she hit the corner of the bed before stopping. “No, no…”
The thought of such cruel torture sounds incredibly painful and terrifying. If I still had my ship equipment, I wouldn't be afraid of going through fire and water, but now I'm a human being with delicate skin and flesh. Even a slight poke to my arm hurts, let alone things like having my tongue pulled out or my hand chopped off.
The woman's words frightened Deep Sea Dragon so much that he didn't dare to speak loudly.
"I...I didn't lie, and I didn't do anything bad, really, please don't punish me..." Deep Sea Dragon Falcon desperately explained, clutching his head, "Can I be a deep-sea destroyer in my next life? Please let me go..."
"Hmm...?" The woman's voice rose slightly from the darkness. "Haven't done anything wrong?"
"I really didn't do it... I haven't done anything bad..." Deep Sea Dragon covered his head, desperately trying to defend himself.
"Was there any murder or killing of living beings?"
"No! No!" Deep Sea Dragon covered his head and shook his head desperately.
"Whether friend or foe, all beings with sentience are living beings." The woman's voice came from the ethereal darkness. "As a member of the Deep Sea, have you never taken the life of a single ship girl?"
"No! Really, no!" Deep Sea Ryujo pouted pitifully. "I... I've been staying in the Deep Sea territory ever since I gained consciousness, and I haven't come out to fight the ship girls. I finally came out once, and I planned everything so carefully... but... but I still didn't win. Instead, I was sunk and ended up in hell... so I really didn't..."
Deep Sea Dragon covered its head and kept explaining.
The woman's voice disappeared into the darkness.
When Shenhai Longxiang noticed that the woman's voice hadn't appeared for a long time, she paused, closed her mouth that was about to explain, and looked up at the darkness in front of her with curiosity.
"You...you have to believe in me...don't punish me..." Deep Sea Dragon said to the darkness with a wronged expression.
From the darkness, the woman's voice, which had been paused, reappeared.
"……I see."
A few candle flames flickered in the darkness.
A gust of cool wind suddenly blew against the back of the Deep Sea Dragon, startling it so much that it let out a shriek, closed its eyes, and curled up into a ball on the ground.
Snapped.
A crisp sound rang out above the head of the Deep Sea Dragon.
The bright colors reappeared around the Deep Sea Dragon, and even through its closed eyelids, the Deep Sea Dragon could feel a resurrected light.
"Admiral, it seems that Senior Ryujo is still a very pure Deep Sea senior." The ethereal female voice from before finally became real, and appeared in front of Deep Sea Ryujo with a playful smile.
"Hey?"
Upon hearing this voice that finally stopped being mysterious, the deep-sea dragon felt a surge of familiarity wash over it once more.
The Deep Sea Dragon raised its head and looked in front of it.
In front of the Deepsea Dragon, Missouri was standing not far away by a closed door, her palm on the light switch in the room, a mischievous smile on her face.
Deep Sea Dragon blinked and subconsciously looked around.
Shenhai Longxiang was currently squatting in a large guest room. Behind her was a bed covered with soft cotton blankets, with lit candles at the four corners of the bed. A window above the bed was not closed tightly, with a crack showing the endless dark sky outside.
The room was excessively brightly lit by the ceiling light.
Around the room, along the edge of the wall, several ship girls sat scattered around, watching Deepsea Ryujo, who was huddled in the corner of the bed, with different expressions on their faces.
"Huh?" Deep Sea Dragon was dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, Senior Ryujo. Missouri's joke with you just now seems to have gone a little too far. I apologize to you for that." Missouri smiled apologetically at the bewildered Ryujo. "However... this was just a spur-of-the-moment idea to get you to tell the truth, so please understand."
"Huh?" Senior Deep Sea Ryujo stared blankly at Missouri, who had almost become a repeating machine that could only say "huh." "We...we...aren't we in hell?"
“Yes.” Missouri smiled at Deep Sea Dragon, and nodded. “Hell and settlement are just things Missouri said offhand. Senior Dragon, your life is safe and sound. Missouri brought you back safely.”
Missouri walked up to the Deepsea Dragon, knelt down, and extended her hand to the dragon, which was curling up into a ball.
"Senior Longxiang, how are you feeling?"
“I…I feel…” Deep Sea Ryujo blinked as he looked at Missouri, who was leaning close to him.
Missouri's approach brought a warm feeling and a woman's fragrance, a sensation different from the cold and darkness, which finally helped Deep Sea Dragon recover from its earlier fright.
"My feelings... my feelings..." Deep Sea Ryujo's gaze gradually returned to normal. Looking at Missouri, who was kneeling and smiling at her, her expression shifted from initial bewilderment to calm, finally turning red with embarrassment and anger. "I feel... I feel absolutely terrible!!!"
The Deep Sea Dragon leaped up from the ground and pounced on Missouri with bared teeth and claws, as if venting its negative emotions, slapping and hitting Missouri's body.
"You despicable ship girl! How dare you make me look so humiliated! Today I'll fight you to the death! Brave Boxing! Brave Boxing! Brave Boxing! Brave Boxing! Brave Boxing!!!" Deep Sea Dragon roared desperately, swinging its small arms with a thud, smashing them towards Missouri with powerful force.
No one knew how much damage the Hero's Boxing should have caused.
But at least, after the Deep Sea Metal was eaten by Xiaobai, the Deep Sea Dragon's combat power was far less than 5, and the Brave Boxing was downgraded to a child's playful punch. Missouri simply stretched out her little arm and steadily blocked all of the Brave Boxing with a smile.
"You despicable ship girl, I, the Deep Sea Ryujo, will fight you to the death today!!!"
The roar of the Deep Sea Dragon, filled with extreme shame and anger, echoed throughout the room like the chirping of a chick.
Sitting by the door, Xiaobai looked at the Deep Sea Dragon in front of Missouri and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Ok……
how to say.
Although from a third-party perspective, the act of Missouri scaring the Deep Sea Dragon was rather pitiful for the creature, it ultimately led to a relatively positive conclusion.
It's great that Deepsea Dragon is a Deepsea Dean with no dark history.
Chapter 1505 Famine for Centuries
As expected, Deepsea Dragon's Brave Punch failed to break through Missouri's defenses.
After making a scene and expending all his remaining strength on Missouri's arm, Deep Sea Dragon Falcon bent over and lay on the floor, panting heavily.
"Huff—hiss—huff—" Deep Sea Dragon was breathing heavily, feeling his head starting to spin. "Why do I feel...so tired..."
“Although Senior Ryujo is not in mortal danger, you still suffered very serious injuries today. These injuries are currently being borne by Senior Ryujo’s ship equipment, which must have consumed a large part of your body’s energy.” Missouri lowered her arm and smiled at Deep Sea Ryujo. “It’s normal to feel very tired.”
“Ship equipment…? Ship equipment…” Deep Sea Ryujo panted as he looked at Missouri, then looked down at his hands after a moment of confusion. “Sigh… speaking of which, why isn’t my ship equipment responding…”
The reason why Abyssal Ryujo was deceived by Missouri into thinking that he was in hell was partly due to Missouri's superb acting skills, but the bigger reason was that Abyssal Ryujo could not sense the existence of his own ship equipment.
—Or to be more precise, although one can sense one's own ship equipment, the ship equipment is in a state where it cannot be summoned to give one power, no matter how one calls for it.
It felt as if the power of their own ship equipment had been devoured by someone.
"About this..." Missouri smiled and glanced back at Xiaobai, then smiled slightly, "That falls into Missouri's area of ignorance, so I'm sorry Missouri can't answer that."
Deep Sea Dragon looked at Little White, following Missouri's gaze.
Upon seeing the white-haired Xiaobai sitting at the door, having already removed his disguise and reverted to his original form, Shenhai Longxiang frowned.
"You are……"
"Hello, I am the Admiral of Missouri." Xiaobai stood up and smiled at Shenhai Longxiang.
"You! Admiral?" Ryujo Akagi was taken aback. She looked at Missouri. "You have two admirals?"
Deep Sea Dragon remembers Missouri saying that the person who took her off the ship's equipment was her admiral, right?
But wasn't that admiral a girl with black hair?
And she has big breasts.
Deep Sea Dragon's gaze shifted from Xiao Bai's cheeks to Xiao Bai's chest.
What an incredibly open and honest mind.
“Missouri has only ever had one admiral in her life.” Missouri smiled at Deep Sea Dragon. “The admiral is just a disguised person on the surface of the sea.”
"Disguise... Oh." Deep Sea Dragon's gaze, fixed on Little White's chest, held a hint of understanding. "Hmm... I think I understand a little better now."
"……"noob.
For some reason, Xiaobai felt as if he had been subtly hurt by Shenhailongxiang's remarks.
"Where are we now? Aren't you going to sink us?" Deep Sea Dragon's gaze shifted to Little White's face. She looked at Little White, her expression gradually regaining the calmness that belonged to the Deep Sea Dean, and even a hint of heroic sacrifice. "We are your enemy. If you fall into our hands, we will order our men to sink you immediately."
"Ah... about this." Xiaobai walked up to Shenhai Longxiang, squatted down and smiled at her, "Shenhai Longxiang, didn't you just say that you've never harmed any ship girls or anyone else's lives... so I don't feel anything when you threaten me with something you didn't do."
"...Uh, we..."
Deep Sea Dragon looked embarrassed and turned her head to glare fiercely at Missouri.
Missouri simply smiled faintly.
"We...we just haven't had a chance to do it yet, but that doesn't mean we can't!" Deep Sea Dragon argued to Whitey, "Like that group of ship girls before, if you hadn't come, we would have taken them sooner or later..."
"Okay, fine." Xiaobai nodded, but didn't expose Long Xiang's words. "But after all, something that hasn't been done hasn't been done. And instead of punishing you, I have a lot of things I'm curious about now."
"...What's something you're curious about?" Deep Sea Dragon Flying frowned.
"Here." Little White pointed to its mouth. "Deep Sea Dragon, your human language is so fluent! Among the deep-sea amphibious ships that have learned human language on their own, you must be one of the best, right?"
“…Hmph.” Deep Sea Dragon turned its head away.
"Can you tell me where you learned human language?" Xiaobai asked.
"I'd rather die than tell you, you despicable human!" Deep Sea Dragon seemed to have no intention of answering Little White.
