Elder brother's garrison

Xiao Bai looked down at Lu Ming's sneakers and his long, slender, snow-white legs.

Lu Ming's legs were exceptionally white, seamless from top to bottom, without a single blemish on his skin.

“Miss Luming, in short, I’m glad you came here, but it’s dangerous here. This is not a place that ordinary humans can approach,” Xiaobai explained to Luming.

“You are human too.” Lu Ming shook her head and said to Xiao Bai.

"I'm different, I'm an admiral, because I have ship girls protecting me..." Xiaobai covered her chest and explained to Luming.

“They’re clearly outside right now.” Lu Ming interrupted Xiao Bai, a rare occurrence for her. She stared intently at Xiao Bai, her gaze clear and pure. “You should be the only one here.”

"Uh..." Xiaobai was speechless.

Now that things have come to this point, Xiaobai really doesn't know how to explain it anymore.

"In short, Miss Luming, it's really dangerous here. I'm not joking." Xiaobai shook her head, changing the subject. She explained to Luming, "When I was checking upstairs, I found a lot of weapons. This isn't an ordinary prank organization. If you get into a conflict with them, your life will definitely be in danger. For your own good, you should..."

The novice was only halfway through speaking.

Lu Ming shook her head again. She stepped forward and took Xiao Bai's hands, signaling Xiao Bai not to try to persuade her to go back.

Lu Ming interrupted Xiao Bai once again.

This is a very rare occurrence.

In the past, Lu Ming would listen attentively to everything Xiao Bai said, and would only reply after Xiao Bai finished speaking. But now, she interrupted Xiao Bai twice in a row.

In Xiaobai's eyes, Luming looked at Xiaobai with a very firm gaze.

“They were arrested because of me,” Lu Ming said to Xiao Bai. Compared to her determined gaze, her tone was soft and pleading. “...Please let me save them, or I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

Chapter 2441 Like-minded

Lu Ming's hands were soft and warm.

Xiao Bai felt the touch and warmth from Lu Ming's hands and silently looked at her.

"I won't hold you back," Lu Ming said earnestly to Xiao Bai.

“This isn’t about holding me back. I can manage on my own. Miss Luming, you don’t need to take such a big risk,” Xiaobai quickly said.

“But I just helped you.” Lu Ming pointed to the uniformed woman she had taken down ten meters away. “Without me, you would have been discovered by now.”

"..." Xiaobai remained silent.

broken.

Xiao Bai felt like he was being manipulated by Lu Ming.

"Sigh..." After a short silence, Xiaobai sighed helplessly, "Miss Luming... this isn't a movie shoot, it's really dangerous here..."

“Yes, I know.” Lu Ming nodded.

Xiao Bai looked at Lu Ming helplessly.

Now that things had come to this point, Xiaobai felt that if she stubbornly refused Luming again, Luming would probably just run off to the square by himself.

Although based on her past interactions with Lu Ming, Xiao Bai could tell that Lu Ming wasn't such an impulsive person, there's always a chance of something unexpected happening. No one knows what Lu Ming might do if she were really left here... At least, compared to her going out into the crowd alone, having her by her side to protect her was a much safer option.

“…Then, you must stick close to me.” Xiaobai said to Luming.

"Mm." Lu Ming quickly let go of Xiao Bai's hand and nodded.

Xiao Bai looked at the woman she had knocked unconscious at the entrance of the women's restroom, and then at the woman ten meters away who had been stunned by Lu Ming's electric shock. After thinking for a while, she said to Lu Ming, "Well then, let's move these two people into the restroom first."

"it is good."

Lu Ming quickly turned around, ran to the woman who had been electrocuted, and picked her up.

The woman who was knocked unconscious by the electric shock looked to weigh about 70 or 80 pounds, but Lu Ming carried her over without any apparent effort.

“…Miss Luming, your strength…I didn’t know you were so great.” Xiaobai looked at Luming, somewhat surprised.

“…Hmm.” Lu Ming lowered her head slightly, looking at the tall woman on the ground, and asked Xiao Bai, “Can you carry this?”

"It's okay, I'm pretty strong too." Xiaobai grinned at Luming, bent down, put her arm around the woman's waist, and easily lifted her up. She even patted the woman's bottom in front of Luming, "Look!"

"..." Lu Ming blinked in surprise.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming carried the two women into the women's restroom.

There was no one else in the women's restroom, so Xiaobai confidently found two toilet stalls and threw the two women in.

Looking at the unconscious woman sitting on the toilet, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

"These two must have come out to use the restroom and wanted to slack off," Xiaobai explained to Luming. "Because the people in this warehouse are building something that looks like a sacrificial stage in the central square on the first floor, they probably came out because they didn't want to work."

"What should we do next?" Lu Ming asked.

"Hmm..." Xiaobai looked thoughtfully at the women on the toilet, his gaze lingering on their clothes and the masks hanging from their ears for a moment. "It seems like this is also an opportunity..."

"..." Lu Ming listened intently.

“Miss Lu Ming, these two people are just slacking off. If we knock them out and they don’t go back for a long time, it might attract the attention of the group in the center of the square,” Xiao Bai explained to Lu Ming. “So, in order to avoid attracting their attention and to get closer to them and find the last makeup artist, I suggest that we change into their clothes, wear their masks, and infiltrate using their identities.”

"Change into their clothes...?" Lu Ming looked at the uniforms on the two women.

Perhaps it was a coincidence from heaven.

The two women happened to be one tall and one short, which perfectly matched the approximate height requirements of Lu Ming and Xiao Bai.

"Miss Luming, what do you think?" Xiaobai asked Luming for her opinion.

“…Okay.” Lu Ming nodded.

With Lu Ming's consent, Xiao Bai then began to implement her plan.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming removed the clothes from the unconscious woman. After a while, the two women, stripped down to only their underwear, lay on the toilet, their limbs intertwined in a rather bizarre way, resembling a spliced ​​octopus.

Xiao Bai held the clothes he had stripped from the woman in one hand and closed the toilet stall door with the other.

Xiaobai and Luming changed into uniforms, put on masks and helmets.

The uniforms of criminal organizations are generally quite loose, so as long as the size difference isn't too drastic, they will fit to some extent.

After changing their clothes, Xiaobai and Luming left the restroom.

No sooner had Xiaobai and Luming left the restroom than a menacing-looking man approached them.

Xiao Bai remembered that when she was almost discovered by someone on the second-floor steps, it was this man who "stepped forward" to help her out of the predicament.

"You two! How long have you been in the toilet?!" As soon as the man walked up, he saw Lu Ming and Xiao Bai in their uniforms and started cursing. "Everyone else is working hard, and you two are just slacking off, huh?!"

The man's shouts and curses instantly echoed throughout the warehouse, attracting the attention of others in the distant square.

A group of people put down their work and watched this scene as if it were a good show.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming quickly lowered their heads, their hearts pounding.

"Do you even know what day this is for us?! Today is the Day of Purification! We are here to cleanse the world of its sins!" The man, furious, lectured Xiaobai and Luming. "On such an important day, the more work you do, the more glorious you become! Do you even have that kind of awareness?! You have some nerve!! Do you believe I'll just drag you both up there during the sacrifice?!"

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming kept their heads down, afraid of being exposed and dared not speak.

"Scared? Now you know fear!" Seeing that Xiaobai and Luming dared not speak, the man assumed they had given in to his words, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. "If you're scared, then get back to work! Your attempt to skip work on Purification Day will be judged after today! As for whether or not you two will be put on the cross, that depends on your performance from now on, understand!"

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming nodded quickly.

"If you know what you're doing, why aren't you working! Get over there!!" the man yelled.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming turned around quickly, lowered their heads, and ran towards the crowd.

As he ran, Xiaobai covered his face with his mask, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

It seems that the connections within this criminal organization aren't that close. Despite wearing loose work clothes, a helmet, and a mask, not a single person among the hundreds recognized that she and Lu Ming weren't the original two women.

Ok……

This feeling...it's just like that cult I visited in Peicheng before...

As Xiaobai walked, he looked up at the cross that was getting closer and closer to him, and seemed to understand something.

correct.

Cult.

Previously, I had heard these people talking about things like "the platform for washing away sins," "the day of purification," and "sin," which were exactly the same terms they used when I encountered the cult in Peicheng!

Is Miss Lu Ming being targeted by a cult?

Ok……

Could it be that they want to use Miss Luming's fame to expand the organization?

Xiao Bai thought about it, looking puzzled.

But as soon as the idea formed in his mind, looking at the huge sacrificial stage in front of him, and the cross erected high on the sacrificial stage like a witch being judged, Xiao Bai felt that these cult followers probably didn't just want to use Lu Ming's fame.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming entered the crowd, and as soon as they entered, they were met with disdainful looks from the people around them.

"Ha, that's why women..."

"I've been working hard here, and you guys are slacking off? You have no shame!"

"You two are finished, I'm telling you!"

"..."

The other believers present looked at Xiaobai and Luming with expressions of schadenfreude, and occasionally hurled insults at them under their breath.

However, these disdainful looks and insulting words could not shake Xiaobai's heart at all. After all, the people these believers were cursing were not Xiaobai, but the two women who were now hugging each other in the toilet.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming lowered their heads, avoiding everyone's gaze, and joined in the construction of the sacrificial stage.

The women's work mostly involved light tasks like pushing carts to transport building materials, which wasn't strenuous. It also gave them a chance to walk around the area, allowing Xiaobai and Luming to observe the situation on the first floor of the warehouse and try to find the last makeup artist.

Unfortunately, after pushing the cart around the venue, Xiaobai still couldn't find the last makeup artist.

Just as Xiaobai was feeling sentimental, the man who had been in charge of supervising the construction returned to the site. He surveyed the stage setup progress and nodded in satisfaction.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the man walked onto the stage and clapped his hands at everyone in the audience.

"Everyone, put down what you're doing for a moment," the man called out. After drawing everyone's attention, he lowered his arm and said to everyone, "Our altar is almost finished. We still have plenty of time, and the rest of the work should be completed on time. So, I'd like to take a moment to say a few words to you all!"

After the man finished speaking, applause erupted from the audience.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming joined the others in clapping.

The man looked at the crowd below the stage with satisfaction. He straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and continued speaking.

"We are like-minded people. Although we are different in age, gender, and family background, in just six months, we have gathered together from all over the country for the same goal," the man said excitedly to the audience. "And now, our goal is almost achieved! Do you all remember our goal?!"

"This world needs the deep sea!!!"

"Overthrow the ship girls! Welcome back the Abyss!!!"

"The deep sea is our true guardian!!!"

The crowd below the stage immediately shouted.

The shouts were enthusiastic and quickly spread throughout the warehouse, echoing endlessly.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming stared wide-eyed at the man on the stage, their hands clapless.

Chapter 2442 First and foremost, it was the sin of arrogance...

Looking at the man on the stage with his hands raised high, bathed in applause, Xiaobai opened his mouth in astonishment.

If Xiaobai hadn't been so confident in her hearing, and if Luming beside her hadn't had the same reaction, she would have seriously doubted whether there was something wrong with her ears.

This cult in front of us actually believes in the deep sea?

They even want to drive away the ship girls and welcome the Abyssal Fleet?

them……

them……

Do they even know what they're doing?

Even though the naval base houses hundreds of deep-sea phoenixes, has had close contact with more than a dozen different deep-sea deans, and has even shared a bed with a deep-sea Yamato, making him arguably the world's most knowledgeable novice when it comes to deep-sea creatures, he has never entertained the idea of ​​bringing the deep sea to land.

Because Xiaobai understands this very well.

The Deep Sea and the Deep Sea Dean are two completely different kinds of creatures.

Even if the Deep-Sea Deans do possess intelligence and rationality comparable to humans, this doesn't mean the entire Deep-Sea race is as easy to get along with. In fact, aside from extremely special high-level life forms like the Deep-Sea Deans and Deep-Sea Supply Ships, 99% of Deep-Sea creatures are utterly irrational. Without interference from the Deep-Sea Deans, their lives are solely about destruction and annihilation; they are creatures capable of tearing apart and harming even their own kind, and possess an extremely powerful aggression towards land-based structures!

Xiaobai was very certain.
