As a commander, I will never meet a heavy female ship girl

Page 161

"As long as you run away, those you hate and don't want to see won't catch up with you."

"As long as I leave, these burdens will never fall..."

She ran onto the deck with her head lowered.

"Miss Republic?!" was the exclamation in response.

But it doesn’t matter. The royal family is just here to laugh at me.

I have already been burdened with guilt and do not need to be reminded of it by the whip of ridicule.

As soon as I close my eyes...

Chapter 179 Before the End: The Republic

Terminal: Detects the signal "Republic", whether to initiate a connection.

The Republic's stroll through the residential area that had turned into ruins suddenly stopped.

In an instant, her eyes widened.

"Republic" has been linked, whether to respond to the other party.

"Reject!" The Republic rejected the request without hesitation, and then...

Turn around and run.

She smashed the glass wall of an empty shop nearby, then rushed out and into the bustling crowd outside.

Detects that the target is being tracked, and whether to report the location.

"Yes!"

...positioning failed, 200m away from target

Don't... don't catch up with me...

Fear was creeping up on her sanity.

Target "Republic" reaction detected.

The mechanical prompt sound of the terminal system made the spreading fear even more chilling.

The originally unclear scan results suddenly showed new anomalies.

The Republic's frantic pace instantly changed direction, and she reconfirmed once more—

There was no glitch, the "Republic" response literally became "two."

She knew that her expression must be out of control and close to collapse.

So, the panicked young lady gently touched her cheek.

There were obvious cracks on it.

She paused, gasping for breath.

But he still used all his strength to crawl forward little by little.

After a while...

When the location was less than 60 meters away from her, she finally came to her senses.

She knew all too well what it was.

That was my sin, my past, and the part of me that I could never escape...

They are the two sides of the same coin.

The Republic slowly walks in the bustling square

This way, I can make myself later, and later——

Undergo the judgment of the Lord.

She passed by all kinds of passers-by.

Even though chaos and commotion were breaking out at the search and rescue site not far away, it did not cause a single ripple in this stagnant world.

Numb people, energetic people, zombie-like people...

Everyone has his or her own destination, and with an expectant look or an indifferent expression, they move closer to their own end step by step.

In this huge place, she is the only one who doesn't fit in.

She had no destination.

Or rather, she had a destination.

At this moment, on the other side of the horizon, the setting sun is slowly sinking into the end of the day.

A glimmer of light blooms.

That last inch of light fell equally on everyone's head and shoulders, giving them a gentle halo.

Day and night, morning and evening.

This is the moment of transition in the day, and also the most beautiful moment of the day.

Sunken in the embers of dusk, the outlines of the people coming and going seemed covered with a layer of gauze.

Blurred, they passed each other like a flock of birds flying across the sky.

They are lonely souls that we encounter in the long river of life, and perhaps we have crossed paths before.

But in the end, it will return to the individual.

The Republic gazed towards the direction of the light.

The brightest star in the sky still shines brightly even before it ends.

She couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly——

Not too bright, not too dark.

It was like a rainbow goblet filled with amber wine, shaking and sparkling.

caught you.

In the dim twilight, it was only two or three steps away.

It was like fate was playing a small but deadly joke on her.

"caught you."

“I can’t imagine a perfect ending, so I keep chasing it, waiting for the hope that may be sent from the other side in the emptiness at the end of the story.”

My blue-clad self appeared at the other end of the square, looking at me with a half-smile.

"This is you, Miss."

His own voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the Republic could not help but retreat madly.

The sound was so unreal that it felt like I was in a dream...

It seemed to echo in my heart.

But my heart...

Republic touched his chest.

There was no response there at all.

"For me, time feels like yesterday. But for you, it's already been completely unrecognizable. A shattered body, a confused mind, and... a cowardly self."

"Can you still fire now, Iris's—coward?"

The Republic trembled. She wanted to unfold her ship suit, but she couldn't do it.

"Why, do you really want to kill me? Traitor? Deserter? Weakling?"

"But can you do it? Coward."

"Now I can crush you to death, just like crushing an ant."

The "Republic" advanced step by step, forcing the Republic into a corner.

She lifted Republic's chin and carefully admired his expression.

Then let go without any fun.

Because all she saw was...unstoppable fear, and the despair beneath the fear.

"You're very afraid of me, but what's the point of being afraid? If I were you, I would turn around immediately and continue your endless..."

"A ridiculous escape."

The "Republic" looked at itself trembling with pleasure.

"I will kill you and return to the commander."

"Isn't this what you wanted? I have everything you don't have—hatred, determination, strength, resolution."

"And you? You can't do anything."

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"But you were content to enjoy the current situation, and in the end, you let him die there."

But the Republic's eyes were still empty and trembling, and they were still broken, so broken that there was not a trace of focus.

The sunset is blood red, and a torrent of steel is rushing across the land of irises with unstoppable force.

She saw with her own eyes that people in black or gray military uniforms grabbed ordinary people out of their houses and then executed them one by one...

She saw the people of Iris on the ground, killing each other...

She saw the dying people calling out the Lord's name in vain...

She saw that the dead souls were cursing her and cursing everything.

The dead souls formed the face before her, pressing against the hull or transforming into incoming artillery shells.

The counterattacks again and again were in vain, and all that resulted was sinking again and again.

"Plop." She knelt down.

Her jaw was pinched, and she was forced to look directly at the past that she had never been able to face.

Countless hands stretched out from the wall behind him, grabbing his arms and ankles.

Then it was dragged downwards into the bottomless abyss.

I can't do anything.

"But so what? Only you can do all this. Only you can hear their voices."

The setting sun lit up the clouds.
