Elder brother's garrison

He felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Bai Yinwu didn't know why she had to persevere.

It was strange. He was in very poor physical condition and should have gone home to rest, but for some reason, he just wanted to find the source of this strange sound.

“Not here.” Bai Yinwu shook his head. He stood on the playground, looking at the empty ground, and pointed to a building in the distance. “I want to go there.”

Xiao Bai looked in the direction Bai Yinwu was pointing.

Xiao Bai paused for a moment.

The building that Baiyin Wuzhi pointed to is the school library.

Is there something in the library that's attracting Shirane?

Xiaobai also went to the library today.

The library is divided into a faculty section and a student section.

Students usually stay on the first to third floors of the library, while teachers can go to higher floors.

The higher floors contain some rather profound and confidential books.

When Xiaobai was looking up information today, he was on the student page. In fact, most of the information can be found on the student page, and many teachers don't go to the teacher page.

...The student group spent half a day browsing around today, so there shouldn't be any problems.

So, is the problem with the teaching staff?

While Xiaobai was still thinking, Baiyinwu had already started walking towards the library.

The library has a 24-hour power supply. This is also one of the manifestations of the school's financial strength.

Because the school was close to the battlefield, everyone had been evacuated overnight, leaving behind an empty, unmanaged facility.

Xiao Bai and Bai Yin walked into the library without anyone stopping them.

Bai Yinwu seemed to be bewitched as she walked straight upstairs.

First floor, second floor, third floor.

Finally, Bai Yinwu arrived at the entrance to the teachers' floor and stared blankly at the iron gate in front of him.

Xiao Bai stepped forward, took out his ID card, swiped it on the box-shaped machine in front of the iron gate, and with a click, the iron gate opened.

Bai Yinwu whispered his thanks to Xiaobai and went inside.

Actually, this library is not a serious facility, and there are no books in the faculty section that are absolutely forbidden to be circulated. It was just that the faculty section was specially created to reduce damage because it is too difficult to reproduce professional books and out-of-print books.

As an ordinary student, Bai Yinwu rarely entered the school library, let alone the teachers' quarters, which were only accessible to students in classrooms.

But he still has a vague feeling about it.

It was as if I knew all the facilities in the building.

Bai Yinwu strolled through the teachers' floor as if he were walking in his own backyard, and when he arrived at the stairwell, he went upstairs.

Fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor.

He went up to the top floor.

The library's top floor has almost no books left, only a dim chandelier and a huge, empty room.

It's more like a storage room that hardly anyone visits than a library.

This was Xiaobai's first time here, and she looked around with some curiosity.

Compared to the floors below, the top floor of this library is indeed quite dilapidated.

"There's a door here..." Bai Yinwu murmured softly as she walked towards the corner of the room.

Chapter 154 Have you ever considered the possibility that you are not human?

Xiao Bai looked over.

Although the wall in this corner was covered with dust and cobwebs because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, it was still smooth and there were no signs of a door.

Bai Yinwu seemed certain that there was a door here. He slowly moved the clutter on the floor in the corner one by one, revealing the floorboards.

Xiao Bai then noticed a door in the corner of the storage room.

However, the door is not on the wall.

To be precise, rather than the stone gate being something embedded in the floor like a manhole cover, it's more like a special refuge device or temporary escape route seen in movies.

Bai Yinwu walked up and opened the door that was covering the floor.

That harsh, unpleasant sound of steel scraping against each other rang out.

Then, along with the sound, a cloud of grayish-white dust emerged.

Xiao Bai covered her mouth and looked down at the bottom of the door.

This is incredible.

This is a very long passageway, long enough to reach the bottom of the building.

Xiao Bai straightened up and looked into the empty room.

This is a really strange structure.

It must have been that all the floors except the top floor were reduced in size to create this passageway leading directly to the bottom floor in the corner of the top floor and in the walls of other floors.

Bai Yin was breathing slightly, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.

Although he couldn't feel the physical pain, his body was actually suffering from a severe cold that was making him feel dazed. After all this, he could feel his strength getting weaker and weaker.

—I need to take a break.

"How did you know there was such a strange door here?" Xiao Bai asked as Bai Yinwu sat down on the ground to rest.

"I don't know either," Bai Yinwu said with a wry smile. "I just feel like there's something in this direction..."

That sound source was like a thread pulling at Shiro Otonashi.

He simply followed that line and felt his way along it.

Xiao Bai could only nod thoughtfully.

Looking at Xiao Bai, who was sitting quietly beside him contemplating life, Bai Yinwu suddenly became very interested in this teacher who had always been mysterious.

"Teacher, why are you helping me?" Bai Yinwu asked.

"Huh? I didn't help you at all," Xiaobai replied. "Didn't you find all of this yourself?"

"If you hadn't swiped your card, I wouldn't have been able to get in here."

"Ah...that's true." Xiaobai nodded, giving a wry smile. "I wasn't necessarily trying to help you..."

"Perhaps, after all, it's illegal." Bai Yinwu said, looking at the open door on the ground. "If we get caught, it could be a serious demerit."

"By the way, why doesn't Bai Yinwu like being an admiral?" Xiaobai suddenly asked.

Bai Yinwu once clearly stated at the beach that he did not want to be an admiral, which was something that Bai Yinwu found very strange.

Why would someone who doesn't want to be an admiral come to the Naval High School? And most importantly, his father happens to be an admiral.

Perhaps it was because it was nighttime, or perhaps it was because Bai Yinwu had let his guard down around Xiaobai, but after a moment of contemplation, Bai Yinwu spoke softly about it.

“I don’t like being an admiral. Because admirals are poor, busy, and prone to many strange illnesses,” Bai Yinwu said.

Xiao Bai smiled.

This reason is indeed the same one that Baiyin Wu mentioned last time.

"I don't want to become like my father, such a disgrace," Bai Yinwu sighed.

"What is Bai Yinwu's father's name?" Xiaobai asked.

"Someone as accomplished as Teacher Lu probably hasn't heard of my dad's name," Bai Yinwu chuckled self-deprecatingly. "My dad's name is Bai Rui."

"..." To Bai Yin's surprise, when Xiao Bai heard this name, she seemed to be shocked by it.

She looked at Bai Yinwu, then at the passageway in front of him.

"Teacher Lu?" Xiao Bai's reaction was a bit strange, making Bai Yinwu feel uneasy. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Bai simply sighed and glanced at Bai Yinwu with a strange expression.

On the enrollment form, Bai Yinwu did not fill in his father's name because his father was an admiral, and due to the confidentiality agreement, he was not required to write his name.

So Xiaobai never knew what Bai Yinwu's father's name was.

Until Bai Yinwu brought it up on his own initiative just now.

After resting for a while, Bai Yinwu stood up and carefully walked down the door handle.

The special passage was narrow and dark, and Baiyin only managed to muster the courage to walk down by the faint light from the corner of her useless cell phone.

Xiao Bai followed behind Bai Yinwu, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

The door led to a location that was roughly as Xiaobai had imagined; it descended to about the height of the first floor of the library, or even further down, into the underground.

This peculiar facility made Shiro's heart leap into her throat.

He continued following that feeling, as if he were being pulled along.

"Bai Yinwu, are you really going to continue?" Suddenly, the previously well-behaved Xiaobai opened his mouth and asked Bai Yinwu.

"..." Bai Yinwu's heart skipped a beat when Xiaobai said that.

"What makes you want to keep going?" Xiaobai asked.

"I don't know." Bai Yinwu really couldn't answer this question.

He just wanted to keep going.

There was no reason, it was as if something over there was attracting Shiroe.

After saying this, Bai Yinwu fell silent.

Xiao Bai seemed to sense Bai Yinwu's determination, and she shook her head as well.

"It's alright, just pretend I didn't say anything," Xiaobai said.

"Thank you." Bai Yinwu expressed her gratitude to the understanding teacher, Lu.

He certainly wouldn't give up on this operation just because of Xiaobai's advice.

If Xiaobai insists on letting Baiyinwu go back, it will only cause the friendship that the two have just formed to break apart.

Teacher Lu's mood has been strange ever since she heard her father's name. She even said some strange things to me just now, as if she knows some inside information that I don't know.

Baiyin inexplicably used her phone to illuminate the path beneath her feet.

—If it were any other time, Bai Yinwu would definitely ask Teacher Lu what she knew, but now that Teacher Lu is not going to say, he will not ask her.

The two walked downstairs, and finally, Bai Yinwu's foot landed on a stable iron plate.

It seemed they had reached the bottom of the terrain connected by this special passage. He used the light from his phone to look around at his surroundings.

It is a very, very large circular passage leading into the distance.

"Where am I?" Bai Yinwu muttered to himself in confusion.

Xiao Bai also came down.

The two people walked towards the other side of the cylindrical passage.

Been gone for a long time.

Down there, surrounded by steel bars and dirt, I gradually lost my sense of direction.

As Xiaobai walked, he tentatively released his Admiral Network.

Sure enough, they're getting closer and closer to their own ship girl.

Xiao Bai and Bai Yinwu were approaching the beach from the passage.

After walking for a while, just when Bai Yinwu's phone battery was about to run out, they finally saw the exit of the cylindrical passage.

It was a very large iron gate.

Bai Yinwu put away his phone and started pushing hard against the iron gate.

Although the iron gate was large and heavy, it was at least not rusty, and Bai Yinwu pushed it open with some effort.

"call----"
