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

According to the calculating style of this master of time management, he should not hesitate after finishing the business and directly tell the commander that he wants to go back.

Unless...she was planning to turn the table on this occasion, like the commander confessed the "evil deeds" of the three major sects in recent times, and took the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Other members of the Iron Blood might not be able to do it, but Peter would have a good chance of success if she made a move, as she had an unclear relationship with the commander.

Taking all this into consideration, Zhenhai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that he had just made a prompt decision to tell the commander all these things, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with Peter's sudden move.

As quiet as a virgin and as swift as a rabbit, he struck directly at the vital points of the three major sects with the force of thunder. Unexpectedly, the iron-blooded Peter is proficient in military tactics and should not be underestimated.

Veneto, who was beside Zhenhai, also felt that the current situation was a bit strange, because she found that Zhenhai suddenly stopped moving and looked straight at the Purifier opposite.

Is this a plan to plot against Antix? If she really wants to do it, should we, the Sardinian Empire, lend a helping hand as a gesture of friendship?

Just like that, after the ship girls finished the work in their hands, they all fell into deep thought, secretly guessing what others were thinking.

The office fell into an eerie silence.

Chapter 17 Xia Bai's Definition of Life

The silence was so strange and frightening that even Xia Bai, who was joking with Lexington, closed his mouth involuntarily and squinted his eyes to observe the situation on the field.

What's going on? We were all talking and laughing just now, but why are everyone so tense all of a sudden? Did something happen behind the scenes? Or is there a problem with the handling of the file?

At this moment, a cheerful cheer broke the quiet atmosphere.

"Wow--"

Sitting in the chair and stretching hard, the Purifier seemed not to notice the strange atmosphere just now, and said happily: "The last one is finally done. It's not easy."

Why do I always feel like everyone is looking at me? Is there something on my face?

Noticing that the gazes of the ship girls present were not right, they were all staring at him. The Purifier touched his face and shook his head to put the strange thoughts behind him.

He stood up and walked to Xia Bai's side, without saying anything, just smiling foolishly.

“Hehehe, hehehe…”

Glancing at the Purifier with disdain, Xia Bai cleared his throat and said, "Pay attention to your public image in Antix. If you have something to say, just say it."

"Oh! I have already finished the documents for you. Xia Bai, you promised me..."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ship girls turned their attention to Xia Bai again. Yes, it seems that if you come to help process the documents, you will get Xia Bai’s promise that he can help you do anything.

You can do without it, but you can’t live without it.

Feeling everyone's fiery gazes, Xia Bai's face twitched and he said, "Just tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

"Resurrection, I want you to help me resurrect Lord Justice." The Purifier said with a serious expression.

"Reshaping the soul with only the remaining will, the power of the spiral can do such a thing."

Hearing the Purifier's request, Veneto looked excited, clenched his hands, and stared at Xia Bai, waiting for his answer.

Tiexue seemed to be thinking about something, Zhenhai and Akagi looked indifferent, while Lexington and Saratoga were a little hesitant.

There is indeed such a rumor in the port area, which states that Xia Bai can use the power of the spiral to bring dead lives back to the world, completing a miracle called "resurrection".

Such rumors had been spreading in the port area since the end of the butterfly sea dream flower, and some people believed it. Of course, most of the ship girls just wanted to have fun and thought it was just another rumor spread by the royal family's master of making up stories.

Whether this is true or not, no one has ever asked Xia Bai to verify it. After all, allowing the deceased to come back to life is really contrary to the natural laws of all things.

Antiks's technology only completely separates the soul from the body. Destroying the body does not mean death.

For Bai Ye, a true god, it was easy to rebuild his body, but he did not resurrect Shokaku, not because he did not want to but because he could not, because the other party's soul had already dissipated.

Of course, this may also have something to do with his power. Bai Ye’s power has nothing to do with resurrection, and is even contrary to it.

So even though everyone knows that Xia Bai is ridiculously strong, most ship girls only regard this rumor as a rumor.

Xia Bai was silent for a while, scratched his face and said: "Only a broken will, no soul? It's a bit difficult for me..."

"Can't do it?"

As expected, even with the commander's ability, he cannot resurrect such a person.

It's better this way, at least I don't have to be bothered by this matter anymore. Resurrection shouldn't exist in the first place.

Just when everyone was disappointed, Xia Bai smiled brightly and said, "No, I can do it."

"!!!"

Zhenhai couldn't hold it in any longer and interrupted immediately, "Commander, can you really revive a life with only a remnant of will left? The Justice mentioned by the Purifier doesn't even have a soul."

"It's no big deal. Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

With a confident smile on his face, Xia Bai glanced at the ship girls in the office and said, "You should have finished your work, so I'll take this opportunity to talk to you about this matter."

Slowly walking to the table and sitting down, Xia Bai took a sip of water, and after thinking for a long time, he began to speak in a deep voice: "First of all, 'resurrection' is not a rumor. I accidentally let it slip when I attended the Guanghui tea party, and then it spread out."

"Secondly, I can indeed do such a thing, with the help of the power given to me by the red lotus, which symbolizes evolution and is an almost omnipotent spiral power."

"In my definition of the composition of intelligent life, there are five parts: body, soul, spirit, will, and memory."

"The body is the carrier, the soul is the core, the spirit is the medium, the will is the essence, and memory...is the proof of the existence of a life. It is not only your own memory, but also the memory of other lives, or even the memory of a world about you."

"If you want to completely kill an intelligent life form, it is also divided into these five steps, ranked from the lowest to the highest difficulty."

"Even now, there is only one way to kill an intelligent life in our port area..."

With a gleam in his eyes, Zhenhai stood up from his chair and interrupted, "Commander, please wait a moment."

"What are you waiting for? I'm listening with great interest. Why are you interrupting... um, Sister Zhenhai, do whatever you want." Facing Zhenhai's extremely dangerous gaze, the Purifier lowered his head in embarrassment.

If a fight really comes to a head, even a hundred Zhenhais are no match for the Purifiers, but when it comes to using insidious tactics, even a thousand Purifiers are no match for the Zhenhais.

Faced with Zhenhai's dangerous expression, the Purifier chose to give in. She didn't want to be put into a sack and thrown into the sea while she was walking in the port.

This is not fear, but from the heart.

Xia Bai said: "Okay, Zhenhai, feel free to ask any questions you have."

Nodding slightly, Zhenhai turned around and looked at each of the ship girls. He made no secret of his thoughts and threatened directly, "I don't want other ship girls to hear about what happened here today outside this office."

"We are all one family. You should understand how important the power of resurrection and complete destruction is."

Akagi didn't have any objection to this and continued to look at his nails as if there was some treasure on them.

To be honest, if Zhenhai hadn't spoken first, Red Fox would have done the same thing. She even had the idea of ​​killing all the ship girls present.

On the iron-blooded side, Frederick the Great still had a mysterious and deep smile on his face, which showed that he agreed with this matter.

Prince Eugen glanced at Peter and said, "Bismarck should have the right to know. She is the chancellor of the Red Axis."

"Do you think...I am consulting with you?"

A smile appeared on Zhenhai's beautiful face, revealing a strong murderous intent.

Chapter 18 Poisonous Snake

Not to mention how dangerous the conversation between Zhenhai and Prince Eugen was.

Veneto, the leader of the Sardinian Empire, is now in a state of paralysis, not daring to breathe.

To be honest, all the ship girls here are Xia Bai's "own people", except her. Looking at Zhenhai's expression, you can tell that she really wants to find someone to kill as a sacrifice.

Veneto was confident of her strength, but two fists could not beat four hands. If Zhenhai suddenly turned his attention to her, she, an "outsider", would be in big trouble.

Veneto didn't want the news that the leader of the Sardinian Empire was shot in the back and committed suicide to spread in the port area the next day, so he could only try his best to play the role of a nobody and hope that the other party would not see him.

However, even such a small wish was directly shattered by Peter.

She had a blank expression on her face, tapped her fingers on the edge of the table, and said slowly, "I think Miss Zhenhai should deal with this outsider first, and then negotiate with our Prince Eugen?"

You are diverting trouble to others, Peter Strasser, you are unworthy of being a ship girl!!!

Screaming inwardly, Veneto suddenly discovered that Zhenhai, who was in danger, had been sizing him up and down with his dark red eyes, as if he was really considering where to start.

Frederick the Great, who had been standing in front of the window just now, had walked to the door and blocked it. Even Akagi on the opposite side showed a cruel smile.

Trying hard to put on an ugly smile, Veneto quickly stood up, holding the knight's sword behind him with both hands, knelt on one knee and said to Xia Bai: "I, Vittorio Veneto, lead the Sardinian Empire to officially join the Red Axis today, and I am willing to serve Master Xia Bai."

"From now on, your will will be the direction of our Sardinian Empire's artillery fire. I hope Lord Xia Bai will not abandon it."

Xia Bai: “…”

Blinking, Xia Bai immediately shouted at Zhenhai: "Enough! Zhenhai, what are you doing? Do you have to turn a good port into this? Can't we coexist peacefully?"

"I didn't say anything, but you have more nerve than a commander like me. You can threaten other ship girls in the port today. I don't even dare to think about what you will do tomorrow."

Facing Xia Bai's angry rebuke, Zhenhai stood where he was, without any rebuttal, enduring it silently, but... he was unwilling to admit his mistake.

Her commander was too soft and gentle in dealing with these matters, which was not wrong but a good thing, but unfortunately he was not suitable for commanding the ships.

Being too kind will lead to being bullied by other ship girls. Since the commander can't do it, she will do it.

This kind of sinister and cruel mentality, which is totally unlike that of a ship girl, is the reason why Zhenhai was nicknamed "Poison Warrior" by Amagi.

Seeing Zhenhai's attitude of "it's up to her to beat or punish me, but I'm going to do it that way", Xia Baifei was almost furious, and the finger pointing at her kept shaking.

Xia Bai also understood what Zhenhai meant. This was for his own good, but this method was too radical. He was ready to kill the ship to keep the secret if he disagreed. Judging from her indifferent look, no matter what Veneto said today, she would never let him go.

I'm afraid he is planning to give Veneto some reassurance first, and then find someone to kill her as soon as she leaves the castle tower.

The enemy needed to be killed as quickly as possible while keeping noise low, so Zhenhai's candidate should be... Hu Teng.

There are only a few ship girls in this port area who are more powerful than Veneto and can be commanded by Zhenhai. New Jersey will never kill the ship girls because of such a thing, and the avant-garde chivalry spirit will not allow them to ambush and kill halfway.

Only his sister Hu Teng, the ship girl who always remains calm, possesses this strength and cruelty, and even if she is discovered, she will not spread the war to the various camps.

Xia Bai, who was in a calm state, quickly analyzed Zhenhai's thoughts, and felt angry and touched.

If Veneto was really killed today, Zhenhai's situation would not be good. Punishment would be secondary because Xia Bai couldn't bear to kill her.

But from now on, all the ship girls will feel a little fear when they see her. She will be excluded, and no companion will ever be willing to open their hearts to her.

Is it really worth doing such a thing for yourself, even at the cost of staining your comrades' blood?

In Zhenhai, Xia Bai could see all the dark sides that did not belong to a ship girl. It was probably because when she was in White Eagle, she did not fight Amagi seriously.

so...

What should I do? Even if Zhenhai promised me not to attack Veneto, it would probably be just a perfunctory promise. In her heart, the commander's orders were far less important than the commander's future.

She stubbornly believed that everything she did was for Xia Bai's good, and she would do it even if she was hated for it.

Should I call Yixian over? With her cooperation, she should be able to temporarily suppress Zhenhai's murderous intent, but this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. As long as Veneto is still in the port, her life will not be guaranteed.

As for Veneto's direct escape and plan to return to the Faru Sea... this is courting death. Now Zhenhai is hoping that she will slip out of the port so that he can kill her with insidious means and clear himself of suspicion.

So Veneto is going to die no matter what?

No, I have another killer trick up my sleeve.

With her brows relaxed, Xia Bai picked up the sword from Veneto's hand and tied it behind her waist.

"Don't be so nervous. Zhenhai is just seriously expressing the importance of this matter to everyone. She won't do anything directly. Besides, she looks like a weakling. There are very few ship girls who can beat her."

Under Xia Bai's serious assurance, Veneto showed a stiff smile, stood up and whispered: "I believe you, Master Xia Bai..."

At this point, she had no choice but to believe that Xia Bai could subdue the "venomous snake" of Zhenhai, otherwise the safety of her own ship and life would not be guaranteed at all.

After comforting him for a few words, Xia Bai turned to look at the expressionless Zhen Hai and asked word by word: "What do you regard your companions as? And what do you regard your life as?"

"Answer me, Zhenhai!"

The voice was filled with anger, like spring thunder, reaching the ears of all the ship girls. People like Nimi and the Purifier even shrank back instinctively.

It was because it was the first time they saw Xia Bai like this. Even at the Solomon Line, he had never been as angry as he was today.

His usual laziness and debauchery completely disappeared, his face was as calm as water, his eyes were like sharp swords, and he possessed all the majesty that came with being the strongest, but he just didn't show it at ordinary times.

Everyone knew that Zhenhai was going to be in big trouble.

After pondering for a moment, Chicheng was ready to speak up to help Zhenhai. After all, this guy was like a sharp knife, and he dared to do anything she dared not do.

But before she could say anything, Xia Bai's dark eyes were fixed on Chi Cheng, causing her to sit back down with an unpleasant look on her face.

It was the first time that Xia Bai looked at her like this... He originally thought that his dear was just trying to scare Zhen Hai, but now Chi Cheng was not sure.

Chapter 19 It Turns Out to be a Clown

"Are you not going to tell me? Or do you think you can deal with me, the commander, with silence?"

"..."

Seeing Zhenhai still unmoved and expressionless, Xia Bai sighed. If this guy wasn't so stubborn, he really didn't want to use that trick.

"Okay, don't talk. Today, let me, the commander, teach you the meaning of life!"
