"Wh-what?!" The visitors were shocked by the bodyguard's superhuman strength.
"The security guard was unharmed???"
"That's a wine bottle! Most people would need several stitches after getting hit by it!"
"This, what exactly is this..."
While the crowd was still reeling from the shock, the next second, the muscular man, along with the half-empty beer bottle in his hand, was violently thrown into the crowd some distance away, eliciting screams.
After doing all this, the bodyguards in black continued to form a human wall to block the visitors.
This time, having learned from the previous experience, the visitors around were noticeably more well-behaved.
……
On the periphery of the crowd, Xiaobai and his two companions stared in surprise at the bodyguards in black.
"Admiral, look over there, those people in black, could they be..." Baltimore approached Xiaobai, covering her mouth in surprise, "...ship girls?"
Chapter 2323 Acting Like a Scoundrel
In the eyes of Xiaobai and his two companions, the faces of the group of black-clad bodyguards surrounding the attic were completely obscured. They were also wearing heavy trench coats that concealed their figures, and they were a head taller than most of the people present, looking like a row of well-trained, muscular men.
But surprisingly, Xiao Bai and his two companions detected a familiar scent emanating from this group of tall and burly bodyguards.
Of course, using the verb "smell" to describe it is not accurate.
To be precise, it's something I sensed.
Just as ship girls are highly sensitive to the aura of the deep sea, they are equally sensitive to the aura of their own kind.
“That’s right, that feeling, those people are ship girls!” Baltimore carefully observed the appearance of the black-clad bodyguards for a while, then approached Xiaobai and said earnestly in her ear, “They must have covered their bodies with heavy clothes and stepped on a lot of height-increasing tools to make them look like this.”
"No wonder he could take a beer bottle by the head and be unharmed, and casually toss such a big guy into the crowd." Xiaobai nodded. She thought for a moment, and as if she had made a decision, she raised her hand and waved it lightly at the black-clad bodyguards outside the attic. Instantly, the network of her body overflowed and spread into an invisible net in the air, reaching out towards the black-clad bodyguard who had just thrown out the troublemaker.
The net woven from mental energy quickly swept over the body of the black-clad bodyguard.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black-clad bodyguard trembled slightly, its massive head lifting up as if sensing something, and looking towards Xiaobai's direction.
The black-clad bodyguard's gaze peeked out from under the shadow of his hood, passing over the sea of people consisting of thousands of tourists, and instantly arrived in front of Xiaobai and his two companions.
“As expected, they are ship girls.” Xiaobai met the black-clad bodyguard’s gaze across the crowd without flinching, and at the same time spoke to the two ship girls beside her, “And since they were able to react to my admiral’s network so quickly, it means that their ship equipment level should be quite high.”
"Admiral, you used the Admiral Network to investigate them?" Baltimore and York's eyes widened immediately upon hearing Xiaobai's words.
The two men's gazes toward Xiaobai suddenly became strange.
The admiral just used the admiral's network to scout out the ship girls over there...
Well known.
In the world of Kantai Collection, ship equipment is an extension of the ship girl's body. Using the Admiral Network to investigate a strange ship girl is an extremely rude act, regardless of whether it is successful or not. To give a simple example, this is roughly equivalent to touching a girl's thigh and buttocks on the street.
In other words, the admiral just touched those ship girls' butts!
This is outrageous!
No wonder Baltimore and York looked at Xiaobai with such strange eyes after hearing about this.
"Admiral, this...this isn't appropriate..." York ignored the reactions of the black-clad bodyguards in the attic and said awkwardly to Xiaobai, "If you really want to investigate the ship's equipment, you can just investigate me and Baltimore at will. It's really...attacking a strange ship girl on the street..."
Baltimore, standing to the side, didn't say anything, but simply covered her mouth with her hands, nodded with a blush, clearly indicating that she and York shared the same opinion.
"There's nothing I can do about it..." Xiaobai felt the gazes from the two ship girls beside her, and the faintly angry stare coming straight from the attic. She grinned a little sheepishly, "I just wanted to get their attention..."
"To attract attention?"
“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded, then ignored the gazes from afar and pointed to the empty public seats on the street in the distance. “Well… anyway, let’s go sit over there for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to enter the attic soon.”
"Huh?" the two ship girls asked in confusion.
The public benches that Xiaobai pointed out were a short distance from the target loft, which is why there were no other travelers around, making it much quieter than this area.
Xiaobai led the ship girl straight to an empty public seat and plopped down on it.
York and Baltimore sat on either side of Little White, sitting very close to him.
"Admiral, what did you mean when you said we could go into the attic right away?" Baltimore couldn't contain his curiosity and cautiously asked Xiaobai.
"It means exactly what it says." Xiaobai gazed in the direction of the attic.
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I used the Admiral's Network to scout out the ship girls guarding the entrance..." Xiaobai sighed and said, "It's only morning, and this pavilion is already surrounded by thousands of people. When we arrived here, I even saw a cluster of tents nearby. I suspect these visitors aren't going to leave; they're determined to wait for the pavilion to open. If we want to enter this pavilion normally, we'll have to cross this sea of people and compete with these thousands of visitors. Who knows when that will take?"
"Uh... so, Admiral, you deliberately tried to attract the attention of those ship girls?" York and Baltimore asked after thinking for a moment.
“Yes, if they don’t notice me immediately, I was thinking of increasing the output of the admiral network to deliberately make them notice.” Xiaobai nodded. “After sensing my admiral network, the ship girls I’m investigating should come to me quickly. This place is relatively secluded. As long as I can bow my head and apologize to the ship girls who come over, and at the same time soothe their emotions, it will be easier for us to talk to them later.”
"Isn't there any other way...?"
"That's still better than us invading, isn't it?"
“Well, that’s true…” York and Baltimore exchanged a glance, both seeing the speechless look in each other’s eyes. “However, using this method is indeed too…”
"Speaking of which, I noticed something when I activated the Admiral Network just now."
"Huh? What's wrong?" The two ship girls looked over.
“Hmm…” Xiaobai stared at the pavilion in the distance for a while, her expression becoming quite interested. “…I discovered that the ship girls surrounding the pavilion are military ship girls, and their level of affiliation to the naval base should be quite high, at least at the sixth chapter or higher.”
"Huh? How did you know?"
“The civilian ship girls don’t usually have a single proper admiral, so they rarely have access to the admiral network. Since the black-clad bodyguards in the attic were able to detect my admiral network so accurately and promptly, it means they must have been familiar with the concept of the admiral network for a long time, which is why they reacted so quickly,” Xiaobai said. “Furthermore, the fact that they were able to locate me and pinpoint my position the moment they became alert proves that their ship equipment is highly skilled, their actions are decisive and efficient, and they have a very strong sense of purpose. Ship girls who can achieve this level are rare even in the entire military ship girl community. At the very least, they are far beyond what civilian ship girls can reach.”
"Huh? Is it that difficult?" Baltimore and York asked, puzzled by the second half of Xiaobai's sentence. "Isn't everyone in our naval base capable of this level of reaction?"
"You can't use the standards of a newbie naval base to judge other naval bases," Xiaobai said with a smile to York and Baltimore. "York, Baltimore, in the naval bases you used to serve in, could the ship girls there, including you back then, easily do these things?"
"Well……"
York and Baltimore closed their eyes and began to think hard.
"It seems... um..."
"If you say so..."
If Xiaobai hadn't asked that question, York and Baltimore might not have realized the problem.
Although York and Baltimore joined the rookie naval base simply to be with Shiro, willing to sacrifice themselves for love without any other intentions, after completing the basic training of the rookie naval base, undergoing rigorous training by Washington, and experiencing the hidden talents within the rookie naval base, they have grown stronger without any worries. Their current vision and strength are far beyond what they could have imagined before.
Chapter 2324 Master Yixian's Good Disciple
Xiaobai smiled slightly as she watched York and Baltimore deep in thought, without interrupting their contemplation.
There are some things I can't remind them of too much; I'll just touch on them briefly and leave it at that. The rest is up to them to figure out for themselves.
suddenly.
at this time.
A series of hurried footsteps sounded from not far away.
Xiao Bai looked up and saw a woman in a gray evening gown, with golden curly hair and wheat-colored skin, walking quickly out of the shadows from the corner of the alley. As she hurried toward him, she stared intently at his body, her bright brown eyes filled with anger amidst their liveliness.
It is clear.
The visitor is not good.
It was even faster than I had imagined.
Xiao Bai shifted his gaze from the woman to the alley where she had appeared.
In the alley, a black trench coat that had been taken off could be vaguely seen.
Does the fact that she came out of the alley next door mean that she deliberately avoided the crowd, found a secluded spot to secretly change out of her trench coat, and then approached me as a tourist?
It seems she didn't want to attract the attention of tourists near the attic.
It turned out to be the case.
Xiao Bai looked at the blonde woman walking towards him, had an idea in mind, and then slowly stood up.
"Hello." Xiao Bai placed his hands together in front of his legs and bowed slightly to the blonde woman. His tone was sincere and his face full of apology. "I was very rude just now. I acted rashly in a moment of panic. Please see me..."
"You pervert! Give me your life!"
Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, the blonde woman in front of him quickened her pace angrily, clenched her slender fist, and swung it towards Xiaobai and the other two.
call----
The wind arrives before the fist!
The blonde woman's fist was like a missile, even creating a spectacular sonic boom in the air.
Xiao Bai was stunned. She looked at the woman's fist swinging towards her, and her scalp tingled instinctively. She automatically dodged to the side.
boom! ! !
Wow! ! !
The blonde woman's fist smashed the public seat where Xiaobai was sitting, breaking it in two.
Debris flew.
"Ouch!"
"Oh my god!"
York and Baltimore, who were sitting in their chairs, were just seriously considering Xiaobai's question when their chairs were punched through. Facing the flying debris, the two ship girls jumped to the sides immediately.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Attack? Sneak attack?"
York and Baltimore, having run to safety, stared blankly at the stone chair broken in two on the ground.
Then the two ship girls saw the blonde woman pull her slender arm out of the rubble, turn around, and stare at them with an angry expression.
"Suffer to death!"
The blonde woman roared angrily and swung her fist at York, who was closest to her.
A wheat-colored fist, carrying a strong gust of wind, slammed towards York's face with a whoosh.
York quickly took two steps back to avoid the blonde woman's pursuit, then looked around in bewilderment, searching for Little White.
"York, I'm here!" Little White called out to York immediately.
"Oh, Admiral, you're alright!" York's expression softened when he saw Little White.
Just then, the blonde woman, whose attack had missed, seemed to be provoked by York's dodge and took a step forward, delivering another punch to York's stomach.
York stared at the fist swinging towards him, his gaze momentarily stunned.
York dodged to the side with a swift sidestep, and the blonde woman and her fist passed right in front of her, brushing against her clothes.
“Like a monkey—” The blonde woman’s second attack missed its target, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by greater anger. She turned around, gritted her teeth, and ran forward to chase after York again.
The blonde woman punched her.
York dodged.
The blonde woman threw another punch.
York dodged again.
The blonde woman came up and punched her again.
"Huh?! Hey!! Why are you only hitting me?!"
"You deserve a beating!" the blonde woman yelled.
"Huh? Huh!! That's a personal attack! Everyone heard it, she made a personal attack!!"
"York, she's the ship girl I just scouted!" Xiaobai called out to York.
"Huh? It's her?" York, who was constantly dodging the blonde woman's attacks, paused for a moment, looked at the blonde woman's appearance with confusion, and then shouted at Xiaobai, "Admiral, haven't you explained to her why you were investigating her?"
"I won't listen!" the blonde woman gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger as she interrupted York. "I'll listen to you all one by one after I've beaten you all down!"
"I'm sorry... I think I underestimated this ship girl's temper..." Xiaobai shrank his neck, looking ashamed.
"Then, what should we do now?" York asked Xiaobai, bewildered, while dodging the blonde woman's attacks.
"In any case, please try to calm this ship girl down first..."
"Oh? So you can fight back?" York's eyes lit up.
