Siren Commander, a mole in his own port

There is not much content in this news, it is more like a brief war report. The gist is that a military organization called Azur Lane attacked the Siren military base somewhere in the sea, wiped out their troops, and successfully regained control of the sea for mankind.

The three words "for humanity" were particularly eye-catching. Thinking about what he saw and felt, Luo Yun thought of many possibilities in an instant. No matter which possibility it was, he could not regard Siren as a positive character in the secular sense.

"Why is your heart rate soaring again?" Dream Weaver frowned slightly. "That's not right. Everything is normal on the physical examination report. Could it be that there's some hidden illness that even we Sirens can't detect... I see. You saw something interesting, didn't you?"

Luo Yun's spirit tensed up in an instant. He felt like a supporting role who accidentally saw the villain's biggest secret. The seemingly kind villain might suddenly attack and kill people in the next second.

"Why don't you answer my question?"

The Dream Weaver seemed not to notice Luo Yun's nervousness, and leaned forward to look at his phone. Luo Yun's heart tightened, but he did nothing and let the Dream Weaver look through his phone. After all, this was news that was out in the open. Since the Dream Weaver was willing to let him know the information from the outside world, he must have thought of this possibility.

Because of her petite figure, the girl couldn't see clearly at first. She frowned slightly, and a hint of distress appeared on her little face. Then, she seemed to have no regard for the physical contact between them. She moved towards Luo Yun, leaned on his arm, and looked at her mobile phone.

With the soft jade in his arms, Luo Yun felt no trace of romance in his heart. He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Are you Siren?"

If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. Rather than being foolishly manipulated, he would rather die knowingly. Besides, Luo Yun didn't believe that the other party went to so much trouble to bring him here just to tease him. Even a villain should have principles.

"Indeed, it's the core of the Siren system, the leader of the Sirens." Dreamweaver spoke softly, as if discussing a trivial matter. "Yes, you're very good at grasping the key points. However, this battle report is incorrect. The testing ground is no longer of any use. We proactively disclosed its coordinates to the Shipgirls, asking them to help dismantle and clean up the mess."

Luo Yun asked: "What is a ship girl?"

The Dream Weaver's breath hitched, then he spoke calmly, "The embodiment of historical ships, the spirit of the sea, the epitome of all that is beautiful, the walking humanoid nuclear bomb... They have many names, but to the Siren, they are but one—the enemy."

"...Is there something wrong? Why does Siren sound like a bad person to me?" Luo Yun still held on to hope and tried to make amends for the Dream Weaver.

The Dream Weaver openly admitted, "From the perspective of humans in this world, we're certainly not good people. But if we consider the multiverse, well... while we've committed numerous evil deeds, they're generally working for a higher purpose. Even if we never interfere, they'll eventually meet their end."

The Dream Weaver was too frank, so Luo Yun didn't react for a while, but then he realized the seriousness of the problem. All signs showed that the Dream Weaver did not lie to him, and he really traveled through time and space, and traveled to the villain's lair.

Although it was not obvious from her aura, the girl leaning on his arm was the mastermind behind everything. She was the kind of big devil who would only appear in a serious work after dozens or hundreds of chapters. He didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate that he could sleep in her boudoir at the beginning of his time travel.

Luo Yun's throat moved slightly, he swallowed, and asked awkwardly: "Then why did you summon me?"

The Dream Weaver said confidently: "To save the world."

"…I'm sorry, could you please say that again?"

The Dream Weaver shook his head and summoned a transparent, high-tech panel floating in the air. "Let's stop here for today. It's not a good idea to overwhelm you with information in such a short period of time. I've prepared a meal for you, but Siren doesn't need to eat and can't cook, so you'll have to make do with pre-made food for now."

As the Dream Weaver pressed the button, a slight sound suddenly came from the corner of the room. Luo Su looked in the direction of the sound and found that a steaming bowl of curry rice had appeared on the table at some point.

"If you don't like the food, you can switch to something else. The drinks are in the refrigerator, and I've prepared all the toiletries for you. If you need anything, you can contact me through the remote control panel on the bedside." Dream Weaver summoned her jellyfish-shaped ship suit and sat on it lightly. "I still have some tasks to complete, so I'll come to accompany you later."

Luo Yun said in a daze: "Oh, oh, thank you for reminding me."

The Dream Weaver didn't say anything else, just looked at Luo Yun deeply, then turned and left the room.

Luo Yun was the only one left in the room again. Looking at the curry rice, Luo Yun was silent for a long time, covering his face with his hands and sighing deeply.

Soon after, in the conference room.

Sitting on the first seat, looking at the empty conference room, Dream Weaver controlled the ship to lock all doors and windows to ensure that no one would notice his next move. Then he waved his hand and sent a communication signal to the port area thousands of miles away.

"I'm Navigator-TB, Miss Secretary Ship. Please notify the flagships of all factions to come to the office immediately to discuss matters related to the commander."

Chapter 5: Being Plotted Clearly

After receiving the communication request from Navigator TB, a small commotion broke out in the port area thousands of miles away. However, since everyone had prepared themselves mentally in advance, the commotion was resolved within ten minutes, and representatives from each camp also arrived at the office one after another.

"After waking up this morning, I have been feeling an inexplicable throbbing in my heart. Now it seems that it is you, Miss TB, who has taken action, right?" Zhenhai, the calm strategist from Donghuang and the gentle beauty with black hair and red eyes, leaned back on the dark red sofa, gently stroking the oath ring on her ring finger, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

No ship girl could remain indifferent after hearing news about the commander, let alone something so important that could determine their lifelong happiness with him. No matter how anxious they were, it would not be excessive. In comparison, Zhenhai's performance could be described as calm.

TB, the Siren leader and the port's navigator, said, "Yes, the experiment was a success. I successfully 'built' the Commander."

New Jersey slammed the table, stood on tiptoe with her long, beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, and tried her best to look at TB's holographic projection. She said impatiently, "Where's Honey? Let me see!"

TB's answer was decisive: "Not at this time. If the Commander sees you, it will likely ruin our plan. For the Commander's sake, and for your own sake, I hope you can restrain your impulses."

"I'm sorry, we're well aware of this. New Jersey is just... huh?" The chestnut fox Tiancheng shook his furry tail, confusion in his purple eyes. "I remember the White Eagle representative should be Miss Yorktown. Am I wrong?"

"You remember correctly, it was originally supposed to be Yorktown, but after hearing that she couldn't meet Honey, her spirits dropped considerably. I said a few nice words to her, and she gave the spot to me." New Jersey scratched his head and chuckled, then said dejectedly, "I came here to try my luck... Alas, what a pity."

Tiancheng was silent for a moment, then gave a gentle but slightly forced smile. "Let's put aside the trivial matters for now. Miss TB, how is the master doing now?"

"He's in perfect health. Thanks to the Mind Cube, his physical fitness far surpasses that of an average human. He's currently resting in a separate room. However..." TB paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, "As expected, he's lost all memory of us."

Although they were mentally prepared, all the ship girls present held their breath after hearing the news, and the joy of the successful experiment was diluted a little.

New Jersey was the first to react, hoping for a lucky break and asking, "Is there any chance Honey's memory will be restored?"

TB shook his head slightly. "The Commander didn't simply lose his memory. According to our speculation, his memories were extracted after using the Mind Cube, and he created the images of the shipgirls based on his most perfect fantasy. In other words, each of you carries a part of his memory."

New Jersey said anxiously, "But this doesn't make sense. After being built by Hoeny, we've been through so much..."

"Compared to the current commander, the previous one was just a phantom. Rather than recovering those ethereal memories, the most urgent task is to make the commander accept us." Zhenhai said calmly, "Miss TB, when do you plan to officially launch our plan?"

"Wait, I have another objection!" New Jersey raised her right hand and demanded loudly, "It doesn't matter if Honey doesn't recognize us. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just get to know each other again? I'm willing to be the first to take the plunge and risk my life for everyone!"

TB hesitated, his tone tinged with fatigue. "Didn't you tell her the outcome of our discussion?"

Tiancheng said embarrassedly, "We originally planned not to disclose the detailed information to the port area until the final result was discussed, so as not to cause unnecessary unrest. Miss New Jersey did not attend the internal meeting before, and I am very sorry."

Zhenhai added, "Simply put, we need to consider the Commander's ability as an ordinary person to bear this, including the fact that he owns an entire port city and the overwhelming love of hundreds of ship girls. This also involves some mystical knowledge and his lost memories. If we rashly reveal everything, it is likely to cause irreversible damage to the Commander's spirit."

Hearing that Honey might be hurt, New Jersey immediately became obedient and docile, and never mentioned the meeting with him. He had endured for such a long time, and a few days would not make a difference. If Honey had an accident, it would be too late for regret.

New Jersey smiled awkwardly and said, "You guys continue. I promise I won't talk nonsense anymore."

"Although all this is just theory, it's better to be cautious to be on the safe side," TB said soothingly. "But don't worry, everyone. Once the Commander has a basic understanding of this world, I will send him to the port. I hope you will cooperate with the Commander and let him actively explore your secrets."

Tiancheng nodded slightly: "We will issue a notice to the port area later, and each faction's flagship will take the lead in training their own ship girls. We will definitely not let the master see any problems."

"I have another question." Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him again, New Jersey hurriedly waved his hand. "This time it's not for personal gain, really! Suddenly sending an adult male to an island full of shipgirls, as long as Honey is not stupid, she will definitely notice my specialness."

Zhenhai chuckled and said, "Don't worry about that. We've already arranged a suitable identity for the Commander. Although it's inevitable that he'll find it strange since he's the only male, there's nothing we can do about it. We don't want any outsiders to dare to interfere with the port area."

New Jersey nodded in agreement. "That's true... Since you're all prepared, then I have no problem with it. This time it's for real!"

"We don't have much to say anymore." TB sighed softly. "If there's nothing else, I'll go take care of the Commander. The other Sirens don't know what's going on yet, so I can't be alone for too long, lest they see my flaws."

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's end this meeting here." Zhen Hai just stood up when he suddenly thought of something. "Wait, Miss TB, could you please provide the coordinates of an abandoned testing site? This is a crucial bargaining chip for us to occupy the human military port."

"I understand." TB nodded slightly and then hung up the call.

Chapter 6 I just want to see your jealous expression

Luo Yun stood in front of the simply decorated washbasin, scooped up a handful of cold water with both hands and gently splashed it on his face, trying to make his mind clearer. Then he raised his head, looked at the slightly tired face in the mirror, and sighed melancholy.

While eating, he looked up a lot of things on the Internet. Combining information from various sources, he finally had a general understanding of the situation in the world.

Whether in technology, culture or history, this world is extremely similar to the world he originally lived in. The only difference is the name. The turning point that led to the divergence between the two worlds came after World War II, the so-called Cold War period.

As the shadow of the Cold War loomed over the world, unknown enemies suddenly emerged from the ocean. Compared to human technology, they possessed overwhelming combat power. However, even so, each camp still fought on its own, and the final result was naturally very tragic:

Humans have lost control of more than 90% of the sea, and their technology and living standards have rapidly regressed. They have also developed a deep shadow on the ocean and unknown enemies, and call the monsters that drag them into the darkness of the deep sea Sirens.

This bleak situation lasted for decades until one day a few years ago, when the major camps suddenly put aside their past grudges and jointly established third-party military organizations, Azur Lane and Crimson Axis, and sounded the clarion call for a counterattack against the Sirens.

From the human perspective, Siren is not a beautiful girl with fair skin, but a combination of some tentacle monster and technology, the embodiment of death and disaster. As for the ship girl mentioned by the Dream Weaver, there is no such person. Luo Yun did not find any words related to the ship girl. All information about the Crimson Axis and the Azur Lane was classified as a military top secret. Except for the member countries, Luo Yun got nothing.

If Dreamweaver had not told him any lies from beginning to end, Luo Yun would have begun to suspect whether the ship girl was playing a bad joke on her. However, considering that Dreamweaver herself is a beautiful girl, the possibility that her enemy is also a girl is indeed not low.

The bad news is that I traveled through time and space and became an ally of the villains (doubtful). The good news is that the villains are really good at fighting. If it weren't for their special purpose, the whole world would have been destroyed by them long ago. If I joined the human side, I would most likely be killed.

Although it sounds a bit despicable, Luo Yun has not witnessed the disasters caused by the Sirens with his own eyes, and does not have much real feeling about the fate of humans in this world, but the Weaver's attitude towards him is really good. As long as he doesn't do anything that is harmful to the world, he will not have too many opinions about the Sirens.

Of course, Luo Yun still felt a little resentful about being summoned by Siren without his permission, but he was at the mercy of others and it was not easy for him to lose his temper at the moment. Who knew if the other party would turn against him? He could only be patient for a while.

"Hey, you're exaggerating, aren't you? He's quite handsome, but staring at himself in the mirror like that is so narcissistic. This is the first time I've seen anyone this obsessed."

Suddenly, a girl's crisp and playful voice came from behind him. Luo Yun was startled and turned around to look. It was a petite girl with white hair and yellow eyes. She was similar in size to the Dream Weaver, but her skin color was almost the same as that of an ordinary person, and her expression was much richer than the Dream Weaver's.

When did he appear behind me? Why was there no sound at all?

Luo Yun asked stiffly, "Who are you?"

Curiosity shone through her clear yellow eyes as she sized Luo Yun up and down, a playful smile playing on her lips. "You can call me the Observer. My mission is to observe the factors that connect history and inheritance. Hmm, are you our future commander?"

"What commander?" Luo Yun thought carefully, "I remember Dream Weaver mentioned it once, but he didn't give me any explanation."

"Huh, she didn't tell you something so important?" The Observer's smile brightened. "While I can't interfere directly with the operation of things, this matter concerns me, so I'll make an exception for you. Just pat my head, and I'll tell you everything about the Commander. Isn't that a good deal?"

Luo Yun was stunned for a moment: "Patching the head? Are you sure?"

"Sure, so could you please hurry up?" the observer urged. "I don't mind. Why are you being so pretentious? Or are you not interested in this information?"

The truth was right before his eyes, even if it was only a part of it, it was enough to move Luo Yun. This was a strong desire for knowledge that he had never felt in his twenty years of student life, driving him to explore and discover the truth hidden in the dark.

Luo Yun thought for a moment, raised his right hand, gently placed it on the observer's head, and asked cautiously: "Is this okay?"

"...Didn't the Dream Weaver give you any food? Or are you humans so weak you can't even lift your hands?" The Observer pouted. "Be bold! Haven't you ever interacted with girls before?"

Luo Yun laughed dryly and said, "To be honest, I have been single since birth."

"Are you trying to appease a three-year-old?" The observer said angrily, and then lightly kicked Luo Yun. "Use some strength. I'm a Siren. Even naval guns can't hurt me."

Luo Yun did as he was told, using a little strength and stroking her long white hair as if he was petting a cat.

"Hmm~ I can't be wrong, that's the feeling~" The Observer closed his eyes contentedly, a faint blush appearing on his face, and murmured softly, "You actually did this behind our backs, Dream Weaver, you bastard... humph!"

Feeling that the time was almost right, Luo Yun withdrew his right hand and asked, "Can you tell me about the commander now?"

"Stop already? Touching you a little longer won't kill you." The Observer opened his eyes and complained reluctantly, "Forget it, I've already got what I wanted. Listen carefully, the so-called commander is indispensable to both the Sirens and the Shipgirls, especially since you are..."

"Observer, have you forgotten the warning I gave you?" The Weaver's low voice suddenly sounded, and the Observer immediately showed an expression that something was wrong. Before she could explain, several blue and black mechanical tentacles attacked from all directions and wrapped her tightly in the blink of an eye.

The sudden change scared Luo Yun. He quickly took a few steps back and subconsciously looked at the Dream Weaver at the door. Her expression was colder than ever. It was obvious that the observer had touched her taboo.

Who on earth is the Commander that would make the Dreamweaver take such drastic action against his own people?

As if noticing Luo Yun's gaze, the Dream Weaver walked towards him quickly. Luo Yun looked behind him and suddenly showed a helpless look. In the palm-sized space, he had no way to escape and could only sit and wait for death.

"Which hand did you use just now?" Dream Weaver raised his little face and asked expressionlessly.

Luo Yun raised his right hand with a look of despair. He had thought of countless ways to say GG, but he didn't expect to be dragged into self-destruction by a Siren. What was going on?

The Dream Weaver stretched out his two little hands, grabbed Luo Su's right hand, and pressed it on his little head. Then he turned his head and gave the observer a provocative look: "Don't stop until I say stop."

"Oh... huh???"

Chapter 7 The Only Commander

After throwing the Observer out of the room, the Dream Weaver enjoyed Luo Yun's head pat for a while before reluctantly moving his head away. He sat down on the edge of the bed and asked softly, "What did the Observer say to you?"

Luo Yun hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Nothing."

The Dream Weaver stared at Luo Yun's face in silence, as if trying to read his facial expression. After a long moment, he finally spoke: "I don't want to hide anything from you, but there are some things that would be more harmful than helpful if you knew them now. Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. Today, I was careless and didn't control them well. Such a situation won't happen again in the future."

It was a blessing in disguise that the Siren who sneaked in to meet Luo Yun was the Observer, the funny guy. If it was a Siren who was outspoken, or a fool like the Purifier, and accidentally said something that shouldn't be said, it would be a big problem.

Luo Yun nodded. After a while, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "What is a commander?"

The Dream Weaver tensed up instantly, a look of surprise flashing across her lake-blue eyes. She froze for a moment, then asked anxiously, "What did the Observer say to you? Tell me, this is very important."

Did that guy say something he shouldn't have to the commander? Damn it, if I had known earlier I would have sent them all back to their respective territories. I thought keeping them here would make it easier to control them, but now it seems they are just unstable elements.

This was the first time Luo Yun had seen a noticeable change in the Dream Weaver's tone. He subconsciously explained, "She told me that I would become the future commander of the Siren."

The Dream Weaver asked, "What else?"

"That's all." Luo Yun spread his hands and said innocently, "She was just about to explain to me the importance of the commander when you barged in. I only know that this position is very important to both the ship girls and the sirens. Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person? I've never studied military knowledge."

As far as Luo Yun knew, the commander should be an officer in the army who was doing military work. The only intersection he had with the army in his life was the military training at the beginning of the university semester. He also missed two days of training because of the rain. As for tactical qualities, he probably could only show them slightly when playing games with his roommates.

Dream Weaver breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Siren Commander's duties are different from what you imagine. They are more like psychological counselors. The right person is more important than professional ability."

Luo Yun muttered quietly, "This feels even more outrageous. I'm almost depressed because I can't find a job, and you still want me to help you with psychological counseling. Does it have to be me?"

"That's right. There are some things only you can do." Dream Weaver said, "Since you can't find a job, and we happen to be short of a commander, why don't we just make do?"

Luo Yun perked up and asked, "What are the salary and benefits? Are there five insurances and one fund?"

The Dream Weaver was about to speak when something suddenly occurred to him. He said awkwardly, "We Sirens generally don't use human currency for settlements. As for the five social insurances and one housing fund... what are those things? But you can rest assured, as long as it's something you want, no matter what it is or who has it, we will find a way to snatch it from you... ahem, get it to you."

"...It doesn't seem appropriate to apply human standards." Luo Yun changed the question, "Does this job require overtime? How many holidays do you have each year?"

Hundreds of charming young ladies flashed through her mind, and the Dream Weaver's expression suddenly became interesting. She glanced at Luo Yun and said sullenly, "Probably, possibly... working all year round? But don't worry, the daily workload won't be very intense. You can rest anytime you want, and no one will bother you... right?"

The more the Weaver spoke, the more guilty she felt. As the navigator of the port, she knew the true nature of those ship girls very well. It was no exaggeration to say that they were a group of insatiable nymphomaniacs. If they were not restrained, the commander would probably be sucked dry of his bones and marrow by them as soon as he arrived at the port, and not even a bone fragment would be spared.

"What do you mean by 'should'? Are you sure you're not some shady factory?" Luo Yun asked tentatively, "You said the commander is very important to you, and I'm the only candidate who meets your requirements. So whether I like it or not, you won't let me leave?"
