Elder brother's garrison

What terrifying mental power!

Is this the network of admirals under Admiral Lu Lin...?

The moment the Empire was entangled by Xiao Bai's mental tentacles, a sense of dread rapidly arose in the Empire's mind. It was a feeling that if Xiao Bai wanted to do something bad to him, he would be completely unable to resist her, and if she wanted his life, she could do it with just a flick of her finger.

This is an instinctive self-preservation instinct.

It's like the fear that humans instinctively fear the dark muzzle of a gun, or the fear that animals instinctively avoid sharp objects.

The empire instinctively began to struggle.

However, just as the empire was in a state of panic, it soon felt another gentle gaze upon it.

The empire followed the gaze.

Not far away, Nia was sitting on the bed, covering her mouth, looking at herself and Admiral Lu Lin with gentle eyes.

For a moment, the Empire couldn't tell whether Nia's gaze was directed at them or at Admiral Lu Lin.

But it is indeed a gaze of absolute trust.

—Oh, right.

—Admiral Lu Lin wouldn't hurt me; she's just extremely powerful. I shouldn't be afraid.

That gaze, warm as the sun, quickly dispelled the panic in the empire's heart.

Under that gaze, the empire fell silent.

Sensing Xiaobai's spiritual power, the Empire slowly closed its eyes, relaxed its mind and body, and tried its best to cooperate with Xiaobai's movements.

"Phew." Seeing this, Luo Lian, who was standing behind Xiao Bai, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Bai's mental strength is truly amazing.

Her mental strength was clearly so powerful that, without meticulous manipulation, it would cause physiological panic in any ship girl she was used on.

In the past, when Shiro used her mental power on the ship girls of the newbie naval base, due to the absolute trust between the ship girls and their admiral, even though Shiro's mental power was terrifying, her ship girls didn't react too violently while feeling the impact. But this time, Empire was different. First of all, Empire was not Shiro's ship girl. Although she trusted Shiro, she was ultimately not Shiro's person and could not trust Shiro like the ship girls of the newbie naval base. So when she was in such a terrifying ocean of mental power and realized that her body, consciousness, and life had all become insignificant existences that Shiro could arbitrarily tamper with and judge at will with a flick of her finger, it was normal for Empire to feel panic for a moment.

Fortunately... Xiaobai called Nia over.

Thinking of this, Luo Lian looked at Xiao Bai, who was closing her eyes and focusing all her mental energy on manipulating it, and couldn't help but smile.

With Nia watching over us... at least the Empire doesn't need to worry.

Luo Lian looked in Nia's direction with approval, nodded, and then fell into deep thought, gazing into Nia's eyes.

What is Nia thinking right now...?

……

Hehehe, Shiro is so cute with her eyes closed. I'm so envious of the Empire; they can be entered by Shiro's spiritual power. I wish I were a ship girl...

Nia, lying on the bed, gazed at Xiaobai with rapt attention, her breathing rapid and her eyes watery.

……

at the same time.

Xiao Bai's spiritual power has entered the Empire's body and entered the interior of her spiritual world.

The Empire's spiritual world, like most ship girls, is like a night sky filled with stars.

Little White transformed into human form and drifted through the Empire's spiritual world, searching for something.

Following the fluctuations of spiritual energy, Xiaobai quickly found the source of the Empire's spiritual energy.

In the boundless starry sky, a dazzling shooting star floats in the center of the world.

This meteor was not large, only about the size of a palm, but its color was extremely beautiful, like a gem that could shine on its own.

"This must be the core of the Empire's spiritual power... right?" Xiaobai quickly arrived in front of the meteor. She picked it up and weighed it in her hand. "Hmm... although this should be it, let's confirm it first."

Xiao Bai extended a finger, and a wisp of pure spiritual energy quickly sprouted from it.

Xiao Bai gently rubbed the spiritual sprout on the Empire's spiritual core, and as if by magic, the spiritual sprout on Xiao Bai's finger seemed to be affected, turning into a magnificent color like a gemstone.

“Copying mental energy isn’t difficult… even though it was just a random copy of a tiny bit.” Little White stuck out her tongue, then put the mental energy sprout on her finger into her mouth and chewed it. “Mmm… sweet, like maltose, quite delicious.”

He swallowed a mouthful of the spiritual energy sprout.

A memory surfaced in Xiaobai's mind.

Xiao Bai closed his eyes and felt it.

……

sunny.

The gentle breeze felt incredibly comfortable on my face.

In my field of vision, two snow-white, heavy objects swayed above, faintly emitting a captivating fragrance.

A pair of slender hands appeared in the field of vision, reaching out to grab the heavy object above.

The moment the ten fingers sank deep into the opening, a satisfying sensation spread through the palm.

"ah!"

A shy, delicate voice came from above, and then the heavy object was lifted up by another pair of hands.

"Emperor, what are you doing all of a sudden!" With a coquettish reminder, Veneto blushed, bit her lip, and scolded him shyly, "I've already given you my leg as a pillow, so you should have just lay there quietly. Why are you suddenly getting handsy with me like a little hooligan!"

"Heh, Veneto, don't lecture the Empire. If I were the Empire lying over there, I'd want to touch it too." Littorio's laughter came from the other side.

"Littorio, how could you..."

Veneto's voice, which was hard to tell whether it was shyness or anger, echoed in my ears.

The view shifts here.

At the edge of the horizon, there was a shimmering swimming pool, and ship girls having a great time playing in it.

……

Xiao Bai opened his eyes and looked at his palm.

The feeling of touching Veneto's chest, so heavy and resonant, still lingered vividly in Xiaobai's palm.

"Wow... this must be a memory from this afternoon. I remember Veneto and her family of three were sitting next to the stands the whole time... So this is how realistic a copied memory is..." Little White murmured to herself, "It seems that when the Deep Sea Will processed my memories, it also processed a lot of the immersive scenes..."

Xiao Bai pursed her lips and rubbed her hands on her body.

"Hmm... I feel a little bad for Veneto, but... this is indeed the core of the Empire's spiritual power." Little White let out a long sigh, then waved her little hand, and her spiritual power covered the Empire's spiritual core. "I can't do the kind of precise memory filtering that the Deep Sea Will can, so I'll just copy all of the Empire's memories at once!"

Chapter 2647 The Ship Girl's Helpless Bridge

……

……

……

The moment I regained consciousness, I realized that this was a gray world.

The sky was gray; there were no clouds, no sun, no moon, and no stars in it.

The sky seems high, yet also low; the world seems small, yet also boundless.

The river beneath me kept washing over my ankles, but I felt no coolness whatsoever.

The river water... is warm.

I raised my hand and looked down; my hands were gray.

Looking up, I saw that the river was filled with gray people. Their hair was gray, their eyes were gray, their skin was gray, and their clothes were gray. Everyone was expressionless, and they all kept a perfect distance from each other. Each of them had their head down and was quietly looking at their feet.

They looked like corpses that had long since died.

Why am I standing here?

Where is this place?

Where do I come from, and where am I going?

There are so many questions in my mind, but for some reason, there is a mysterious force that convinces me to give up thinking and stay here obediently.

In the vast, gray world, there was not a single sound.

But in this vast world, beams of light continuously shine down, and each time a beam falls, it illuminates a gray figure.

The moment the beam of light shone down, the gray people gradually gained color—their hair would take on color, their eyes would gleam, their skin would become snow-white and delicate, and their clothes would become gorgeous and dazzling as if they were bathed in light. Then, in the intense light, the people who had gained color would slowly rise up, rising to a place where no one could see them, and finally leave this gray world.

Time itself is gray in this world.

Consciousness is also gray in this world.

Even a trace of loneliness or solitude is hard to find.

Time, second by second, hundreds and thousands of years have passed.

I don’t know how long it took.

A beam of light descended from the sky and landed beside them.

Turning her head, she saw the person who had been standing beside her regaining their color in a pillar of light, and a strange gravitational force was pulling her upward, trying to fly into the sky.

The person inside the pillar of light looked at her hands. As the color spread throughout her body, her consciousness seemed to awaken at that moment. After regaining her senses, she looked around and then looked up at the sky. Then, she seemed to understand something in an instant.

She sighed deeply, preparing to receive the sky's call.

He watched her leave.

My mood remained completely unchanged.

But just as her body was about to fly into the sky, as if by telepathy or by some strange force, she suddenly turned her head and looked at herself.

She and herself stood there, stunned.

I was stunned because I saw a pair of very beautiful eyes.

One is a dazzling gold, the other a spiritual blue.

In that boundless gray world, it was one of the few things that could stir one's heart.

I was looking at her, and she was looking at me.

In that instant, the woman with two different colored eyes suddenly remembered something. She stared at herself, looking into her own eyes, and as she soared into the sky, she stretched out her palm towards herself.

Those slender yet powerful hands passed through the light barrier and firmly grasped her.

The colors were conveyed through her touch.

Before she could even react, she was pulled into the light curtain by both hands and held in her arms.

“My sister—you go, I’ll stay here in your place.”

"Please look at the sky for me, and send my greetings to the other sisters."

"No need to be sad, no need to be discouraged."

"When the time is right, you will wave the flag, and I will come to you."

After just a few words, the screen began to shake.

A woman with two different colored eyes fell from the pillar of light, which carried her into the sky.

He subconsciously reached out with both hands to grab the woman.

But the falling woman gently grasped his hand and smiled as she pushed him away.

In his final glance, the woman who had fallen into the river met his own gaze once more.

A head of jet-black curly hair that cascades down like a waterfall.

A pair of heterochromatic pupils, one blue and one gold.

A dazzling golden brand on his forehead.

She lay on the gray river, her eyes fixed on her with a resolute yet forgiving gaze, looking at her with kindness.

It was a bright and dazzling color in an endless gray world.
