How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

"After that...everything changed..."

At this point, Ayanami took a deep breath, and her originally calm eyes suddenly trembled a little, as if everything was so sudden for her as well.

she says.

"We are now in Akita Prefecture, the easternmost part of the Sakura Empire. This and the neighboring Iwate Prefecture are the fiefs of Lord Akagi."

"Yudachi, the others, and I, along with everyone else, have been stationed here all along, always waiting for Lord Akagi's orders."

"During this time in Akita Prefecture, everything here, everything in the Sakura Empire, was as peaceful and harmonious as His Majesty Nagato desired, and full of happiness."

"This situation continued for several years. Suddenly one day, Lord Akagi, who had been working in the central government for a long time, came back... He came back covered in blood..."

"I think it must be hard for my brother to imagine how we felt at that time. It was a feeling of being helpless and like the sky was about to fall. It was quite heavy..."

"Fortunately, Akagi-sama returned quite timely, and with Akashi's help, her injuries were contained."

"The first thing I will do after waking up is to plan for war, raise the banner of justice, and march towards the center, towards Lord Musashi who has held His Majesty Nagato hostage!"

Unlike her conservative sister Kaga, Akagi is relatively radical in her actions, which Zhou Xuan is aware of.

Being radical in her actions also means that she also possesses a strong ability to take action.

If what Ayanami said is true, it seems that this war in which one person fights against the whole world is not going smoothly, and may even be in decline.

Relying on his leadership skills acquired through long-term observation and observation, Zhou Xuan quickly analyzed the current situation from Ayanami's words alone, and said after her words.

"But judging from the current situation, your situation is not very good. You are unable to move forward, and instead need to search for spies in your own fiefdom."

"Yes, the current situation is indeed a bit difficult."

"With the intervention of Lord Musashi, another faction led by Lord Izumo and the central army led by Lord Longfeng joined together, making it difficult for us to deal with them for a while."

Izumo and Ryuho are also well-known figures in the game's plot. With the two of them joining forces, it is no wonder that Akagi's plan was temporarily blocked.

But since the forceful attack was limited, didn't Akagi think of trying other ways to contact Nagato secretly? Zhou Xuan asked.

However, all Ayanami could do was to shake his head helplessly. The entire palace was infiltrated by Musashi's forces. Even the royalist Mikasa couldn't get a word in, let alone them.

From then on, Zhou Xuan had a rough judgment about the current Sakura Empire and the ship girls living on this small island.

Being trapped in this dreamlike world, controlled by powerful officials, and facing internal and external troubles, it is no wonder that all their previous contacts had fallen through.

And who is the person who has such powerful ability to create a new world and keep all the ship girls in it?

Could it be the Musashi that Akagi thought it was? Zhou Xuan had no idea about this.

Led by Ayanami, after a long journey, the group finally returned to the base camp in Akita Prefecture.

As members of this camp, Ayanami and others entered very smoothly. However, when it came to Zhou Xuan and others, the process was a little more difficult.

Firstly, it is because of their male gender, and secondly, they appear out of nowhere and their origins are unknown, which makes us have to be on high alert.

So Zhou Xuan and the other person were detained at the entrance, neither allowed to enter nor leave.

He could only stand there stupidly, allowing the passing, curious ship girls to stare at him, like a rare species.

Fortunately, Ayanami reported the situation in a timely manner and after explaining the whole story, Kaga stepped forward and granted them temporary residence rights.

"This is where you guys live, brother. Because resources are limited right now, you two have to share a room."

"You should take a rest first. Master Akagi will meet you tomorrow when he is free."

"When the time comes, brother will explain the past in detail, and I think... everything will be fine."

After all, it was a private place and it was not convenient to stay for a long time. After saying that, Ayanami stayed for a while and then left, leaving only a man and a woman in the room.

One should not be unaware of the cost of oil and salt. The cleaner was a little complaining about the arrangement of two people staying in the same room.

In her eyes, this was like driving a sheep next to a big tiger, which would be eaten up sooner or later.

But Zhou Xuan also had something to say about her words, and he sneered.

"Heh, wasn't it you who took the initiative to find me? If there was a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, it was me, not you."

"Besides, when you're with me, whether you're on top or on the bottom, don't you enjoy it?"

"Why are you denying it now? I still remember everything you said when you were climaxing. Do you want to hear it?"

It can be said that it is reasonable and well-founded. As she spoke, Zhou Xuan put on a face and imitated the way she was in bliss and blurted out the words.

How could the cleaners tolerate this?

Without any hesitation, she took a step forward and strode towards Zhou Xuan.

Unexpectedly, when she was right in front of him, he grabbed her legs from the bottom up and held her in his arms. She became the nymphomaniac who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, and the scavenger was ashamed.

But she didn't have time to act cute anymore. The next second Zhou Xuan changed his expression, adjusted his tone, and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Stop it, I have something to ask you."

Chapter 272: If I'm not your ally, I can only be your master

"You really don't know what's going on here, Clearer?"

"Modifying memories, blurring cognition, creating an illusory world. Everything here looks like it was done by the Siren. No one else can do this."

His eyes were as sharp as torches, and the cold light continued to shine from them, like a sharp knife, piercing directly into her heart, leaving her with a muffled, indescribable feeling of heaviness.

It was a scrutinizing look. Zhou Xuan was interrogating himself without leaving any room for doubt. He was truly ruthless.

As creations of the highest technology, the Cleaners and even other Sirens all possess a certain degree of anti-interrogation modules.

They always remain calm and will not fall into mental difficulties due to the enemy's deliberate guidance, nor will they develop negative emotions of fear due to the so-called torture.

But for her, it seems to be useless...

When looking at Zhou Xuan, who had a cold face and no longer smiled at her, the cleaner felt that her terminal was in a mess, and she had a sour and suffocating feeling.

However, she was unwilling to expose her unusual weak side to Zhou Xuan, so she straightened her back with all her strength and spoke angrily.

"How should I know? Really!"

"I have been stationed in that ghost place with nothing but white snow for a long time. It has been the same for decades without any changes. How can I know clearly?"

"You should ask the observers, testers, purifiers, and builders about this kind of thing! In short, you shouldn't ask me! Do you think I like staying in that damn place?"

The Clearer opened her eyes wide and tried her best to refute. Her originally sky-blue eyes were tinged with red due to her excitement, which made her look even more pitiful.

Zhou Xuan did not insist any longer. Perhaps he felt that his behavior was a bit extreme and he was too embarrassed to face her, so he took the initiative to stretch out his hand, pressed it on her head, and moved it closer to his heart.

"It's my fault for not considering your actual situation. I apologize."

"You, don't just say sorry to others so casually. Do you think I will say what you expect: ah, it's okay, I forgive you?"

"Hmph! You wish for that. I won't do that. I want you to die with remorse and guilt. That's the most wonderful ending I want to see."

The wording was still harsh, but from the tone it seemed that the purger's anger had subsided. Upon further analysis, it even had a bit of a coquettish tone to it.

Unable to suppress the corners of his mouth that kept rising, Zhou Xuan smiled, as if he was coaxing a child.

"Okay, okay, if that day really comes, let me die of guilt, and you won't have to do it yourself."

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"Besides, how long are you going to hold me like this? Isn't it time to put me down? Is my body that comfortable?"

To be fair, in terms of physique, the Clearers may be at the very bottom of the list. Their relatively thin physique makes them completely defeated by the Purifiers and Testers.

But when I really held her in my arms, I experienced a completely different feeling.

The girl's delicate body is soft and tender, and her silky and delicate hair has a faint fragrance. Overall, it is extremely comfortable.

This feeling was even stronger when he really put the Clearer down and his arms were empty.

If we say that before this, the two strangers only had the basis for physical communication, they were not very familiar with each other.

After further unlocking the girl's true inner thoughts through the verbal communication just now, Zhou Xuan had a new idea, he said.

"I think you have seen the current situation. Everything here is very different from what we imagined."

"If we want to survive and gain a foothold in this chaotic world, we must abandon our past positions and grudges."

"Let's unite for now and wait until we're through this difficult time. What do you think?"

Asking for help, is everything that is happening now considered a way for Zhou Xuan to surrender to her? The purgers don't know.

Her mind was simple after all, and she still believed that one was one and two was two, so she could not keep up with Zhou Xuan's pace.

But generally speaking, it was roughly understood that this was his way of asking her for help, and out of reserve, the Clearer shook his head.

"Humph, why should I cooperate with you? You are just a mortal, and you are not qualified for combat!"

"Give up, I won't agree to it. Instead of thinking about it, why don't you untie my restraints and let me regain my abilities."

After dealing with Sirens for a long time, based on the situation, Zhou Xuan roughly guessed the possible answers that the Cleaner might have.

Now, as he expected, he changed the subject and spoke slowly.

"Really? If that's the case, does that mean our cooperation is broken?"

"Well, if allies can't do anything, then I will command you with the absolute authority of the master. Don't forget that you have already lost yourself to me at that time."

"..." This is an ironclad fact, and the Clearer was speechless. With Zhou Xuan's reminder, she finally had to face up to the humiliating past.

Unlike humans who have no basis in words, for Siren, once they make an oath, it is equivalent to adding a new layer of program to their core terminal as proof of absolute loyalty.

In this regard, she was indeed careless. She sold herself out accidentally for the sake of momentary happiness. It was really wrong.

But thinking back, the Clearer felt that she couldn't completely blame herself. After all, how could she have thought that Zhou Xuan, a human, could conquer her to death, and every cell in her body was clamoring to merge with him.

As a result, the current situation was that she was completely at a disadvantage, but Zhou Xuan continued to speak.

"Also, during the battle with Ayanami, I tried my best to protect you, but you turned around and sold me out and hid away somewhere unknown. Does this make sense?"

This was where her behavior was not fair, and there was no way to refute it, so the cleaner just smiled awkwardly.

"How can this be considered selling out teammates? This is just a strategic retreat, waiting for a new opportunity. It has nothing to do with it."

"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to listen to you anymore. Just tell me straight out loud, do you want to cooperate with me or become my slave?"

"Think about it. You only have one chance to choose."

"I..." The Cleaner hesitated to speak, but judging from her flickering eyes, she was obviously shaken this time.

In this case, Zhou Xuan was no longer in a hurry. He sat cross-legged opposite her, lit the candle in the room, and waited quietly for her answer.

A gentle breeze blew past, and suddenly, under the light, the reflections of the two people began to sway with the candlelight.

It's like a wave in the vast ocean, swaying left and right, unable to find the right direction, and can only go with the flow.

But he was not willing to accept the reality. As time passed, the Clearer finally gave his answer.

"Perhaps I am right. You are just like other humans, only able to say nice and polite words."

"You said you were going to give me two choices and let me consider them. But you know clearly, right? I have no way out..."

"I betrayed the Observer and took action on my own to satisfy my own selfish desires."

"In theory, I have violated all the rules of the Siren Organization. Even if I return to the Observer, the only fate that awaits me is destruction."

"And all of this happened because of you!!! How despicable..."

Let's just consider this as her final vent when faced with a choice. Zhou Xuan thought to himself as he was suddenly pushed down on the tatami, looking up at the girl in front of him with red eyes.

Because his hands were on either side of him and he was on all fours.

Face to face, under the influence of gravity, the uncontrollable, bean-sized tears on the Cleaner's face fell in front of him, wetting his collar.

So this negotiation suddenly became an opportunity for the cleaners to vent their emotions unilaterally.

Not until her feelings eased and her tears gradually stopped did Zhou Xuan slowly reach out his hand to wipe away the remaining water stains in the corners of her eyes, giving her a clear and peaceful life.

And afterwards, I heard her say this.

"I am not a coward who cannot afford to lose. Whether you are my ally or my master and servant, as long as you have the ability to match, I am willing to serve you."

"Of course it's an equal exchange. When you drive me, don't forget to give me corresponding rewards."

"After all...it's because of you that I ended up in this situation. Don't just think you can just walk away~"

Of course Zhou Xuan understood all the intentions behind her joking words. He responded to her smile and then opened his arms, ready to be picked.

This quiet night became uneasy again...
