Even in the world of Kancolle, I want to drive a robot!

"I have united the middle and lower-level officers of the entire military base, and I am waiting for you to come and bring the criminals to justice."

Xia Bai thought that Shokaku was already the highest level of a traitor, but he didn't expect that there is always someone better than you. This Chris is even more of a ruthless character. In just a short period of time, he has already sidelined Edward Bradley.

How does the saying go? Your subordinates and confidants are all my people, what do you have to fight me?

Chapter 211 What is a surprise?

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The crisp knock on the door made Edward Bradley frown. Normally no one would disturb them now unless there was some sudden emergency.

With this in mind, Edward put his hands down to signal others to be quiet, then turned off the projector.

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and Xia Bai walked in with a smile on his face, and waved to Edward as if he was facing an old friend.

"Surprise! Are you scared? Are you satisfied with this surprise?"

"Thompson Jackson? How did you get in? Where's the guard?"

Looking at Patton with a gloomy face, and then at the officer who stood up from his chair and shouted loudly, Xia Bai took out the purge list and carefully identified the other party's appearance.

"Daniel George?"

"I am the one asking you this, not you. If you enter a military stronghold without permission, you will be punished..."

'boom--'

Covering his chest, Daniel George fell down, and bright blood flowers gradually spread on the floor.

As others were shocked, Xia Bai pretended to blow into the muzzle of the gun and said with a smile, "I'm not interested in talking to the dead."

"Everyone on this list will die today, so please don't waste my breath, okay?"

"Now, every time I read a name, please stand up and choose how to die. This is a rare act of mercy on my part."

madman.

This was the first thought of the officers present after hearing what Xia Bai said. How dare this guy shoot active-duty soldiers at will? Isn't he afraid of being sanctioned by the Takors government?

Under tremendous pressure, someone took out his pistol, but before he pulled the trigger, his arm was cut off by a brilliant silver light and fell to the ground. Before he felt the pain, a bloody mark appeared on his neck and blood gushed out.

Kaohsiung, who was standing behind Xia Bai, slowly sheathed his sword. Judging from the expression on his face, it seemed that he had just accomplished a trivial task.

It was not until now that the officers realized that there was not only a madman in front of them, but also two ship girls coming in, which made them give up the idea of ​​resistance.

Even though there are only two ship girls, if a real fight breaks out the entire military base will be razed to the ground. It is an ironclad fact that humans cannot hurt the ship girls and the sirens.

Swallowing his saliva, a somewhat bloated officer stood up and stammered, "Um, um, which garrison are you the commander of? Maybe there is some misunderstanding between us. How about we sit down and talk slowly?"

"If you do something like this, you will be held accountable by the Maritime Administration even if you are the commander. How about just calm down and not implicate the girls under your command?"

"name..."

"what?"

Grinning a cruel smile, Xia Bai continued slowly: "I asked you your name. Didn't I just say that I don't talk to the dead."

The voice sounded like a demon from purgatory, causing the bloated officer to tremble. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and fell silent.

He really wanted to beat himself to death now. This Thompson Jackson was obviously here to cause trouble for Edward. Edward didn't say anything, but he insisted on being the first to speak out. Now he was being roasted on the fire.

Who knows if his name is on the list, so he dare not speak, but keeping silent is not a solution either.

After hesitating for a long time, the bloated officer stammered, "Douglas Williams."

After flipping through the list for a while, Xia Bai raised his eyebrows and made way for the door: "Your name is not on the list. This matter has nothing to do with you. Get out by yourself."

Douglas, who had already closed his eyes and was waiting to die, asked nervously, "Are you really going to let me go?"

"Otherwise, do you want to stay with them? I don't mind if you stay."

"No, no, no, I'm leaving now. I'm leaving now."

Waving his hands, Douglas felt a sense of relief at surviving a disaster. He turned back to glance at Edward and hurriedly walked out of the meeting room.

If my fellow Taoist doesn't die, I will die. I am lucky enough to be alive. Why should I care about so many things?

The next step was simple. No one dared to interrupt Xia Bai anymore. They all sat on their chairs waiting for his "judgment".

If there were no ship girls, perhaps they would have thought of fighting to the death. However, as soon as this thought arose, it faded away after seeing the weapons in Kaohsiung and Sirius' hands. They could only pray that their names were not on the list.

It's just like being shot in a queue.

When only Edward and a pile of corpses were left in the meeting room, Xia Bai crushed the gun in his hand into pieces, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Now you are the only one left, how do you feel?"

"Fear, regret, despair... your mental fluctuations don't seem to contain such emotions."

Edward glanced at the corpses around him, disdain revealed in his eyes, and took out a cigar from the box in front of him. Kaohsiung originally wanted to chop him with a knife, but was stopped by Xia Bai's wave of his hand.

"Of course, death is the final destination of life, and every departed soul will eventually return to the arms of God."

"Being accepted by the gods is a great gift from them." As if he didn't care about his current situation, Edward lit a cigar and pushed the cigar box in front of Xia Bai, "Would you like one? This is top-quality stuff."

"No thanks, my mom told me not to take tobacco from strangers."

Pushing the cigar box back, Xia Bai tapped the table with his fingers.

"I have investigated your past life very clearly. You didn't have any belief in 'God' before, at least not when Project V was launched."

"Why do you believe in those things now? This is completely different from the philosophy of your V Plan."

Edward sneered and kicked the corpse at his feet, with some nostalgia in his eyes: "When you really see it, you will understand that gods exist."

"I have no fear of death, that's because I have faith in my heart. Only 'God' can save this world. KanColle? They can't even protect themselves."

"And you, RX-02, seem to have no faith in your heart. Your empty heart has no goals, and your empty life is meaningless. After venting the flame of revenge in your heart, what can you do?"

"Everything I do is for the good of the world. I have never felt ashamed of anything I have done. Are you going to destroy everything I have done now for your own selfish desires?"

Hearing this, Xia Bai laughed, and the mockery in his laughter was obvious.

"You said you're not afraid of death, so why are you using the so-called righteousness to pressure me now? I know the world is not black and white, and I also know that your actions are generally for the good of the world."

"But what does this have to do with me wanting to kill you?"

Chapter 212 Edward

The atmosphere was extremely cold and Edward fell into silence, unable to speak for a long time.

After taking a puff of his cigar, he said as if resigned to his fate: "Perhaps you are right, RX-02. Hatred should not be mixed with other things."

"Call it justice or righteousness, no matter what the reason is, I was the one who ordered you to attack the Solomon Line, and I was also the one who caused the death of RX-01."

"Because of my greed and recklessness, the tragedy of the son of Prometheus occurred. Because I only regarded you as weapons, I made you suffer the pressure of public opinion."

"I admit that these are my own mistakes, but——"

Having said that, Edward threw the cigar in his hand to the ground and crushed it hard with his foot.

"Does it only have something to do with me? As for White Eagle, when I tried to persuade Patton, Enterprise agreed. When I ordered the attack on the Solomon Line, they did not stop me."

"Why aren't they considered targets of revenge in your mind?"

Even if he was going to die, Edward would drag White Eagle to hell with him. Moreover, he still had a chance to turn the tables. As long as the V-Project terminal was activated, the current situation would completely change.

As long as we can hold it off, as long as we buy some time, the RX-02 in front of us will no longer be a threat.

"Because I have double standards, isn't that hard to understand?"

Xia Bai shrugged his shoulders, held his cheeks and grinned. The mockery in his mouth made Edward clench his fists.

"Only the main culprit will be punished. They did play an unholy role in Project V, but they didn't do anything outrageous."

"It was you, Edward, who gave the order. It was you, Edward, who killed my eldest brother. It was you, Edward, who instigated public opinion. What does this have to do with other people?"

"If everyone involved in Project V is my target of revenge, then Patton, that old man who jumps up and down, will definitely be killed by me first... Do you think it's possible?"

"You've done the most evil things, but you're not a Kanmusu. Oh, a twisted scum like you can't be a Kanmusu."

"..."

Edward has seen many people with double standards, because double standards are deeply engraved in the bones of the Takors, which is related to the development process of Takors.

But this was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Bai confidently say that he had double standards, and his prepared rebuttal was choked.

"Are you still planning to stall for the V-Project terminal to start up?"

Edward's hair stood on end and his back was completely wet with sweat. He tried his best to stay calm and said calmly, "What V-Project Terminal? I don't know..."

"Come on, your men have already told me everything. Do you think I will be so impatient as to come tonight?"

Xia Bai's words struck Edward like a bolt of lightning. He could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. His face became distorted with anger. He pounded on the table and shouted, "Who, who is it? Tell me who betrayed me!"

Xia Bai wanted to see the other party's impotent rage. He covered his stomach and laughed: "Puchi... Hahaha, even if you know who it is, what can you do now?"

In a rage, Edward wanted to stand up and grab Xia Bai's collar to question him, but as soon as he stretched out his hands, a big sword cut his hands in half, and blood gushed out.

Looking at Edward with disgust, Sirius made a sword flower and threw the blood on the sword to the ground.

"A maggot like you is not worthy to be near my proud master."

Standing up, Xia Bai slowly walked to the side of Edward who was wailing on the ground, and said with sympathy: "Your death is inevitable, no one can save you."

"Now tell me where the device seized from the Siren is. I will give you a dignified death and declare to the public that you died in a confrontation with the Supreme. This is also a recognition of your achievements. How do you think?"

Edward Bradley is a very contradictory person. He climbed from the bottom to his current position of admiral. If you say that he is incompetent and a waste, then you are speaking against your conscience.

Just as Xia Bai said, the grudge between Edward and their Son of Prometheus was purely personal, which could not be brought up in public, nor could they give him a "fair" trial.

You know, he also contributed partly to why the headquarters of the Maritime Administration was placed in the Tacols area. In fighting against the Sirens and supporting the garrison, Edward could be said to have fulfilled his duties conscientiously and spared no effort.

The establishment of the V Plan, in addition to gaining greater voice, also has the idea of ​​creating weapons that can fight against the Sirens and share the pressure on the naval base. Edward himself has never thought of using this power to rule the world.

All we can say is that people will change. Perhaps it was because he saw the so-called "God" that this already extreme person no longer believed in the power of ship girls, and went further astray in his groping for the way forward. At this time, Xia Bai's words undoubtedly pointed out Edward's weakness.

Winners make you kings and losers make you bandits. Edward could face death calmly, but he did not want his achievements to go to hell with him.

"Hahaha...'

Enduring the pain of a severed hand, he gasped and managed to speak: "The coming of God is inevitable. Only the true God can dispel the shadow that shrouds this world."

"This is something that a ship girl cannot do. Humans must always have their own gods. Why can't you understand this!"

"Obsessive."

Shaking his head regretfully, Xia Bai half squatted down and bandaged his broken wrists with rags to prevent Edward from bleeding to death.

"Our enemies have never been the Sirens... Never mind, there's no point telling you this now."

"Remember the huge weapon that appeared in Fulk City? Your so-called god is that kind of thing, a weapon that has destroyed countless worlds and is eyeing this world covetously."

"You let him come without knowing his true identity. Should I say you are bold or ignorant?"

"Forget about your broken gods. If you don't want the world to be destroyed in your hands, tell me where the things are!"

"It's too late. Everything is too late. God has already noticed this world. He will dispel the sins of this world and spread the holy gospel all over the sea."

"Hahaha, by then you and these ship girls will regret what you are doing now, under the wrath of the gods."

“Only the souls of the most faithful believers will return to His embrace, and my achievements will live forever in the world.”

Looking at Edward who had fallen into madness, Xia Bai suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. His intuition was always accurate.

The word soul made him think of the most difficult guy among the Supremes.

Chapter 213 The Longest Night is Coming

Outside the conference room.

Barton was pacing back and forth anxiously, his eyes fixed on the door from time to time, with an occasional flash of anticipation.

Damn it, he also wanted to go in and educate Edward Bradley, but was stopped by Xia Bai, who said that he would be qualified to educate him only after he had finished educating the son of Prometheus.

If it weren't for the fact that he was no match for Xia Bai, Patton really wanted to punch him in the face. It was so infuriating. After you've taught Edward a lesson, will he still be alive?

"Youth are formidable, youth are formidable, old people have to admit defeat, Barton, you are so lucky."

"Why don't you leave here quickly, you idiot? Why are you still here taking advantage of your age?"

Faced with Barton's impolite words, Douglas's face froze and he said awkwardly: "Aren't you just trying to see what Edward's ending will be?"

"Anyway, everyone has told me that I'm not on the list, so I can stay however I want."

"you!"
