In the end, she made a decision and rejected Xia Bai's conditions.

Xia Bai had anticipated this. When he put forward this condition, he knew that the other party would not agree. While repairing his body damage, he said, "Then the negotiation fails. I only want Tian Palans. I am not interested in anything else."

"You want Tempalans because she killed RX-01, but...RX-02, did you really see with your own eyes how RX-01 was destroyed by her?"

"!"

The sudden words made Xia Bai's eyes bloodshot. He stood up from the driver's seat and said through gritted teeth, "What do you mean by that?"

Noticing that Xia Bai's emotions were aroused by him, Observer Zero showed a faint smile on his cold and delicate little face.

The offense and defense switched, and now she had the initiative.

"RX-02, it seems you didn't hear clearly. Let me repeat it again—"

"I mean, did you really see Temperance kill RX-01?"

Observer Zero's questioning made Xia Bai sit back in the driver's seat in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

Indeed, just as the other party said, he did not see Tempalans kill his eldest brother. At that time, RX-01 disappeared after covering their retreat from the Solomon Line, and the life sensing device also confirmed his death.

So according to their thinking, RX-01 should have been killed by Tempalans. If the eldest brother wanted to run away, no Siren except Tempalans could catch up with him.

But that was just a guess before, and such a guess has now been overturned. After all, after Xia Bai's mental power entered that space, the life sensing device also determined that he had stopped showing signs of life.

After thinking a lot but still not getting a real answer, Xia Bai, who was confused, asked hoarsely: "Then is my eldest brother still alive... Is he with you?"

Hearing that Xia Bai's tone was finally no longer aggressive and even had a hint of pleading, Observer Zero laughed foolishly, like the sound of pleasant wind chimes.

"RX-01 is dead, but it wasn't Tempalans who killed him... It should be said that it wasn't us Sirens who did it."

The last ray of light went out, and Observer Zero's words gave him unnecessary thoughts, which then shattered them into pieces.

"You Sirens were on the battlefield at that time. Can you tell me who killed him?" Xia Bai asked coldly with empty eyes, suppressing his hatred.

Naturally, he would not easily believe what Observer Zero said. After all, even though they were talking about everything now, Xia Bai was almost killed by the other party a few minutes ago.

He would keep the answer in mind and find out for himself whether it was true.

The finger with black nail polish touched his lips, and Observer Zero tilted his head and said cutely, "Who is it... Hehe~ If there is a chance, I will tell you next time we meet. I'll take my leave today."

Finding that the other party wanted to leave, Xia Bai lost his composure and shouted, "Don't go, tell me who it is."

"Men who don't know what's good for them will be disliked by others. Just wait and look forward to meeting me again."

Finally, after saying something to Xia Bai, the jellyfish behind Observer Zero emitted a faint light, squirmed continuously, and slowly stretched out.

"Bye now......"

Before she could finish, the deep red eye of the Pale Nightmare on the sea surface shone, and gas was spewed out of the inverted triangle backpack behind it, and a wave quickly spread from the inside of the body to the entire mirror sea.

Wherever the waves passed, everything lost its color and turned black and white, and all movement stopped.

Although Zero, the observer in the crack of space, did not see these, she felt that she was frozen for a few seconds, unable to move, and most importantly...

The pale nightmare on the sea has disappeared.

"Where did you go?"

Observer Zero, who originally wanted to leave immediately, stopped because of the sudden situation. She quickly cut the cracks to different positions trying to find the figure of RX-02, but the feeling of uneasiness made her stop the search immediately.

'You have to go back quickly.'

With this thought flashing through his mind, Observer Zero chose to trust his intuition and did not continue to explore what had just happened.

But it was too late. Just as she was about to board the jellyfish, a pitch-black mechanical hand reached into the tiny crack in the space and tore it apart like shards of glass.

"Found you, Observer Zero!"

The pale nightmare that came to this dark space stretched out its hand to grab the jellyfish, while Observer Zero turned his back to him with a serious look in his eyes, and several chain-like tentacles began to fight with the mecha.

During this time, Tester α boarded the jellyfish, which emitted a faint blue light and twisted until it disappeared.

Xia Bai wanted to use the 'freezing jump device' again to stop the opponent's actions, but when he was halfway through activating it, his eyes went dark and he fell on the operating table.

The dark crack in the space gradually disappeared, and the pale nightmare returned to the mirror sea and dissipated into light particles.

Chapter 52: The New Shipgirl's Opinion

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the sunset blends into the blue sea, dyeing it with a golden coating, and the waves are phosphorescent. The sea breeze blows through the dreaded hair with a moist breath, playfully messing with it and then quickly disappearing without a trace.

He covered Xia Bai's face with a white cloth, then poked Perseus beside him out of boredom, wanting to chat with her to kill time while waiting for Xia Bai to wake up.

Perseus, who was suddenly "attacked" by the terrible force, trembled and took a step back.

She still clearly remembered how Kewei had driven the Pale Nightmare in the morning. Perseus only hoped that Kewei would bypass her since she had been guarding her and the commander while they were unconscious for half a day.

At the same time, the sensitive Perseus was secretly slandering Kawei in her heart. She thought that she was too erratic like a normal ship girl and acted on impulse. What did she mean by covering the commander's face with a white cloth when the commander was not dead yet? Wasn't she afraid that the commander would take it out on her after waking up?

Thinking about it this way, my commander is also a weirdo. How can a commander personally go on the field and tear the sirens apart? Not to mention that killing the sirens is as easy as cutting vegetables, he was injured and looked weak and powerless, and his eyes were about to fail. But after a big hole was opened in his eyes, he became energetic to fight again.

Hearing my commander talking about the Son of Prometheus, could it be that the vitality of the Son of Prometheus is as tenacious as that of a cockroach?

Seeing the bloody hole in front of Xia Bai's body dry and black, Perseus wanted to ask Kewei why he didn't bandage him up and just do something useless. However, due to the "tyrannical power" of Miss Fat Dinosaur, she didn't dare to do so for the time being.

And that mecha is also inexplicable. The floating gun is already unscientific compared to the carrier-based aircraft, and the "freezing jump device" is even more outrageous. Perseus sitting in the cockpit saw it all. The wave spread and directly stopped time.

Then the commander frantically searched for Observer Zero, flew all over the mirror sea, and then broke through the space and moved in front of the other party.

I was just born, why do I keep encountering these strange things? Are all my accompanying memories outdated?

Poor, weak and helpless Perseus felt that he had come to the wrong place, but the most important thing at the moment was to ease the relationship with the fearsome and avoid being torn into pieces by the other party.

So Perseus pointed at Xia Bai's chest and said, "Aren't you going to bandage the commander?"

After every few words she spoke she had to think about what to say next, in order to avoid saying the wrong thing and angering Kewei, which caused her to stutter.

He used sea water to wash the blood off his face so that Xia Bai could see his cute little face when he woke up, and then Kewei answered Perseus's questions.

"Bandage? The commander said he's fine, so I won't do it on my own."

"Are you really okay? I think the wound is about to rot." Perseus was worried with an expressionless face. After all, when the blood hole rots, the person will almost rot as well. When the person rots, he will be dead.

"It's not rotten...it's just a little black. Perseus, don't joke with me." His voice became smaller and smaller, and he seemed to be losing confidence.

Then Kewei put his hands on his hips and said as a matter of course: "Kewei believes in the commander. If he says it's okay, then it must be okay."

If it weren't for the cold sweat on your head, I would have almost believed it. Besides, can this kind of thing be solved by just believing?

Complaining in his heart about his own terrible insensitivity, Perseus shook his head and decided to do it himself.

She unfolded her ship suit, took out a golden halberd with white flower patterns, pointed it at the bloody hole in Xia Bai's chest, and said calmly, "Talaria of Xiangyi."

Golden light shone on Xia Bai's body, and the bloody hole on his chest slowly grew new flesh granulations and slowly closed.

Looking at the changes in front of her, Perseus thought to herself that her guess was correct. The commander was indeed a kind of ship girl. Then a sharp pain came from her brain, making her scream.

"Well..."

Reluctantly using his unskilled abilities, Perseus knelt helplessly on the sea, covering his head and groaning in pain.

Seeing this, Kewei knew that the one using the ability in the cockpit was Perseus, so he quickly ran to Perseus' side and asked with concern: "Perseus, you have just been born, don't be in a hurry to use your ability."

"Forcing yourself to use your abilities too early will cause irreparable damage to your spirit."

Perseus stood up with the help of Kewei, shook his head and said calmly: "I played no role in the previous battle, and I still need you to protect me... I don't want the commander to die like this."

Pink eyes spoke of seriousness, and Perseus expressed his thoughts clearly.

"Forget it, forget it. I really lost to you. I will go and bandage the commander now."

What a double-faced guy. He hated the commander to death this morning, but now he cares about him so much. It seems he has a weird personality.

Thinking of this, Kewei took out gauze from the ship's space and walked towards Xia Bai. Before she started bandaging, Xia Bai tore off the white cloth on his face and stood up.

Kewei naturally threw away the gauze, ran over happily and opened his arms.

"commander!"

"Wait, don't come over here yet!"

Seeing Xia Bai's serious face, her formidable footsteps slowly stopped. She was wondering if something had happened again.

"What's wrong? Are there more enemies?"

"No, I just wanted to ask if the 'treasure box' has been opened?"

"Treasure chest? What treasure chest?"

Tilting his head, Kewei was confused. Was the commander in his sleep? There was no treasure chest here.

"It's the spoils from that giant steel beast. I'm afraid you didn't forget that a beast that big must have some good stuff."

Hearing this, Kewei screamed and she and Xia Bai fell into coma together. She woke up only two hours earlier than him, so how could she remember this?

He immediately gave Xia Bai a wink, and without further ado, the two of them hurriedly ran towards the place where the Siren cluster sank, while Perseus behind him helplessly held his forehead and quickly followed.

What a divine combination these two are, a ship girl and a commander.

However, perhaps he would be happy staying in such a fleet. Looking up at the gradually setting sun, Perseus was optimistic about his future.

An abnormal commander, so erratic and terrifying, what would it be like with a Sirius, and what would the naval base be like... Looking at the two people's cheerful backs, Perseus couldn't help but look forward to his future life.

Then she heard Xia Bai's shrill cries.

"My red tip, my red tip!"

"..."

It’s better not to hold out bright hopes for your future. Looking at Xia Bai with tears streaming down her face, the pink-haired ship girl fell into deep thought.

Chapter 53 Study (Slacking Off)

"Every ship girl is born with her own abilities. Whether she is proficient in her own abilities depends on her own mental strength and reading textbooks to improve..."

"The abilities are divided into ten stages. The less mental energy is consumed per stage upgrade, the stronger the ability becomes... Oh, I think I understand a little bit."

After closing the KanColle Encyclopedia in his hand, Xia Bai said to the maid who kept wandering around the room: "Sheffield, I want to drink Coke."

It has been half a month since he met Observer Zero, and that afternoon when he and Kewei returned to the Royal Family, they caused quite a stir.

Although Xia Bai had been emphasizing that his injury was not serious and did not need to be taken so seriously, Sheffield and Belfast still wrapped him up like a mummy and sent him to the infirmary.

She was released only when her body was almost rusted. However, it seemed that thanks to lying in bed for so many days, Sheffield was willing to be close to Xia Bai again and replaced Belfast as his personal maid.

Xia Bai was overjoyed about this. As long as Sheffield would not ignore him, he would keep some doubts in his heart.

Putting the broom aside, Sheffield said, "Master, the royal family doesn't have such carbonated drinks, and it's not good for your body to drink them... How about black tea or juice?"

"Well... hurry up then. I'll wait for you."

Sheffield nodded slightly, left the room and went to prepare a thirst-quenching drink for Xia Bai.

Time can really change a lot. After staying in the royal family for so long, Xia Bai no longer considers himself an outsider. He skillfully orders Sheffield around and lives a life of luxury.

He succumbed to the erosion of capitalism and was almost ruined.

Seeing that Sheffield had left, Xia Bai quickly turned on the bracelet and surfed the Internet during this free time. When RX-03 took the Sons of Prometheus away from the royal family, he specifically instructed the maid.

She was asked to monitor Xia Bai's studies carefully and not to do nothing all day long. So whenever Xia Bai wanted to slack off, she would be stared at by Sheffield's cold eyes, which made her feel very pressured.

Xia Bai opened the bracelet skillfully and blocked the harassment from the people who were watching him, then quickly browsed the recent news.

《Shock! Azur Lane Royal has formed an alliance with the product of Project V. What kind of secret is hidden behind this matter...》

"You are worthy of being a reporter to be able to report such military secrets."

With a sigh, Xia Bai did not click on the news. He knew without even reading it that the comments below were disgusting. Most people had a very bad impression of them, and reading them would only cause trouble for themselves.

"Men were silent after watching this, women wept after listening to this, the battle situation in the Faro Sea is extremely worrying, Admiral Stark said..."

"You insist on adding a UC font to such a serious battle report, as if you're worried that it won't get any clicks, right?"

It seems that online news, whether before or after the time travel, always likes to do this, but Xia Bai also knows why it is so eye-catching.

In this world, inland and coastal areas are completely two different concepts. The coastal areas are always in a stage of war preparedness, while the inland areas are in peace and prosperity.

After all, the Sirens had only successfully landed once, and that was when they launched an artillery attack on the inland. The people in the inland did not have a clear concept of the Sirens and the Ship Girls, so they just did what they were supposed to do.

Some people in the military have always wanted to change this concept, but looking at this news...they have a long way to go, and Xia Bai can only silently wish them the best.

"Registration for the seventh term of the Maritime Administration Commander Training School has closed, with more than one million applicants."

To be honest, the Maritime Administration has been obsessed with getting more people to join the fight against the Sirens. They even publicized this method in the news. I don't know where they found a few ship girls to take photos and put them on the official website.

Xia Bai didn't know whether there were a million people or not, but he knew that the number of people in this world who possessed the commander's spiritual talent was definitely much smaller than this number.
