I'm in the azure sky, and I have an anti-fraud app.

"Commander, no!" Shoukaku panicked and grabbed Li Wei's leg, looking up at him with pitiful eyes, tears welling up in her eyes: "Ten chances, that's going to take several years! I can't live without you, Commander."

Li Wei saw through Shoukaku's fake crying at a glance: "If you keep pretending, I'll give you twenty fewer times."

Shoukaku's expression changed instantly; he stopped faking his tears and simply pouted to express his dissatisfaction.

"Hmph... I'll have someone come and check again. You'd better behave yourselves. Either hand over all the problems yourselves and I won't punish you, or... hmph..." Li Wei grabbed a handful of Shoukaku's cotton candy: "Besides, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."

Shoukaku's eyes lit up: "What opportunity! I'll give it my all!"

“Go and be my undercover agent. Help me see what Akagi and the others do every day.” Li Wei kneaded the symbol of Shoukaku. “If you can help me kill them once, I’ll give you a free kill and at least one more bullet.”

Shoukaku looked up and kissed Li Wei's main gun: "Commander is wise!"

Chapter 326 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

In the office, Hu Teng was reporting to Li Wei: "Commander, after our Ironblood investigation, we have discovered a total of thirty-one secret passages, pointing to every room where the Commander might appear. In other words, as long as the Commander is in the palace, even if the door is closed, they can still reach every room where you are through the secret passages."

"Among them, the most tunnels are those leading to the bedroom, a total of five, each leading to one of the four different exits. Two of the secret passages lead to one exit, and after investigation, it was confirmed that this should be the location of Musashi and Shinano. The second most numerous are the bathrooms, with a total of four, also leading to four different exits."

Hu Teng finished his report with a dashing and meticulous demeanor: "After multiple inspections by our side, we have confirmed that no tunnels have been missed. This concludes the report from Tiexue."

"I see."

Li Wei gently rubbed Hu Teng's long, white hair as a reward: "Have all the tunnels been dealt with?"

"Yes, Commander, all the tunnels have been sealed off. They cannot be used again from any direction, nor can they be rebuilt or activated."

Li Wei nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."

Hutten approached Li Wei: "In that case, Commander, could you...?"

"Want ammunition?"

Hu Teng nodded: "If even Shoukaku can be obtained, I think... I should be able to as well."

Li Wei thought about it and agreed: "How about this, I can give you a round of ammunition, but I must specify the form—we still have things to do afterward, and we can't spend too much time refilling your ammunition."

Hutten had already lifted his boots and lightly placed them on the main gun: "Isn't this what the commander wanted? No problem."

……

the next day.

With dark circles under his eyes, Li Wei listened to Belfast's report.

I was woken up last night by Hu Teng riding on me.

Hu Teng was fixed to the office wall, and the mature woman's mouth was sealed, so she stayed obediently.

"Master, after the Royal Maid Team's inspection, they found a total of thirty-one blocked Sakura Empire tunnels, all of which are indeed unusable. Ironblood's handling of this matter is flawless."

"However, Ironblood then built two new tunnels, one leading to the commander's office and the other to the commander's bedroom."

Li Wei rubbed his head.

It’s impossible to guard against it.

He had been trying his best to defend against Sakura Empire, but who could have imagined that Ironblood would steal from his own people?

Fortunately, Ironblood was only given one day for inspection. If he had been given a few more days, Li Wei couldn't believe what his palace's underground area would have been excavated and developed into. The total area was only so big, and the tunnels would eventually cover a larger area than the surface... It was simply unimaginable.

"Seal off all the Ironblood's secret passages."

Belfast bowed: "Yes."

Li Wei was cautious and chose to sleep on the ship that night.

If we assume

……

"Head maid, does this road really lead directly to the master's bedroom?"

"Head Maid, do we really all have a chance?"

Belfast led the way, saying, "As long as you cooperate with me, you'll all get a share."

"Our first night raid on our master... I never thought we could do it too..."

"I'm a little excited just thinking about being with everyone..."

Belfast shuffled down: "Keep your voices down, don't wake the master."

The maids filed out of the tunnel that the royal family had reserved for them today, but their worries were not unfounded—the room was empty, and there was no sign of the commander.

Perhaps it wouldn't be accurate to say the room was empty, since only the bed was unoccupied, but there were still people in the room. Yi Xian, with a broad smile, sat on the sofa: "My fellow Royals, the Commander anticipated your actions."

"So please wait here for the commander's arrival. I have already transmitted your images to the commander in real time."

……

Hutten has been released, and now several royal maids are permanently mounted on the walls of his office. Levi, hands behind his back, smiled at Belfast: "Belfast, Belfast, you've gone bad now. Before, you at most kept things from me, but now you've learned to lie. Tell me, how many tunnels have you kept from me?"

Belfast lowered his head: "Just one."

"Naughty." Li Wei patted the head maid's cotton candy. For some reason, Li Wei now really enjoys patting the ship girls' cotton candy; it feels better than patting their cheeks. Maybe it's because the ship girls are all throwing cotton candy that's bigger than their heads.

"Yixian, speak."

"Yes, Commander." Yi Xian took out a report, which was more detailed than those of Hutten and Belfast: "After our careful investigation, we found that Sakura Empire dug a total of thirty-four tunnels. Thirty-one of them were blocked by Ironblood, two were blocked by Royal Navy, and the last one was blocked yesterday."

"Tsk tsk, Belfast, they actually colluded with Ironblood. If Iris finds out, they'll be heartbroken."

Belfast: ?

Levi knew Belfast wouldn't understand, but he continued unconcerned: "I already knew about the embezzlement by your Royal Maids Team, so I deliberately kept an eye on things. Belfast, is there anything else you want to say?"

Belfast looked up, smiling sweetly, "Since Master has cracked the code, Belfast is naturally willing to accept defeat. But how can Master know that Donghuang's report to you is necessarily correct? Perhaps they have their own ideas too~"

"It's ok."

Li Wei patted his thigh, and Yi Xian obediently walked up to the commander and presented her white silk cheongsam jelly to Li Wei, even at the perfect height.

“I’ve figured something out.” In front of Belfast and the maids, Li Wei patted Yi Xian’s jelly, creating ripples. “Since stealing food is unavoidable, as long as I feed him well during the day, he naturally won’t steal food.”

"Well……"

Yi Xian let out a sweet hum.

Belfast was already used to such punishments.

But this was the first time the other maids had experienced such punishment. They looked at their commander with pleading eyes; as accomplices, to suffer such punishment alongside the main culprit was indeed quite severe for them.

"Master, I was wrong..."

"Master, please don't punish us like this..."

"Mmm..." Yi Xian closed her eyes, her long, white, and taut silk stockings taut, expressing her sweetness through her movements, while continuing her punishment of the maids in an unseen way.

“Master, I’ve told you everything. It was all Belfast’s idea, and she instigated us…”

"Master, Master, please don't do this... My heart is aching so much..."

Li Wei: ...

No, I didn't ask you to recruit anyone.

Yi Xian felt the magnificence of the main cannon and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 327 The Forked Tongue

"A simulation device? Why did you suddenly think of this? I thought I'd forgotten about it after leaving the Northern Union."

Akashi protested Levi's words with three consecutive "meows": "Commander, don't joke around, meow. This simulation device is very expensive, meow. Please cherish it, meow."

"Okay, okay, who's sponsoring you this time?"

“It’s Fantasy, meow. She said she has a special skill she wants the Commander to experience, meow… no, not sponsorship, meow!” Akashi realized she had let something slip, so she brought up Fantasy to change the subject: “It’s her first time using a simulation device, so other ship girls are helping out, meow. But Commander, don’t worry, it won’t affect your communication with Fantasy, meow.”

"The Fantasy has caught up too? How come I didn't notice?"

"No meow."

"How does the Fantasy participate in the simulation device?"

"This one……"

Da Vinci stepped out from behind Akashi and answered the question for the clueless Akashi: "Commander, let me answer this. Through everyone's research and practice, we left a copy of a simulation device at Hurricane Camp, a copy called 'Simulation Device of the Past'—it was only possible because of the special nature of Hurricane Camp."

"Will it affect the stability of the simulation device itself?"

"Don't worry, Commander. We've already tested it. In a sense, the simulation device at Hurricane Camp and the one you're about to enter are the same thing, just on different timelines, so there's no problem."

“I see…” Li Wei thought for a moment: “Alright, I’ll give it a try and see what new ways the Fantasy can come up with.”

……

The Fantasy appeared before Li Wei:

“Commander… Heh, this device is truly amazing. It can actually make us feel like we’re really together, despite the limitations of time and space.”

Li Wei looked at the Fantasy's attire, which was no different from usual: "What kind of new gameplay are you talking about?"

"A new gameplay mode, it requires a little cooperation from the commander."

"Oh? What role do you need me to play?"

"The commander needs to... play the role of someone with amnesia. Only then can my storyline unfold fully."

"Ok."

"Then please get ready, Commander. I'm about to change the scene."

"it is good."

Li Wei's vision blurred, and the ordinary room disappeared, leaving him in a dimly lit corridor. Outside, there was deafening thunder and torrential rain.

Tsk... This scene is even more realistic than the one set up by the ship girls from the Northern Alliance before. It seems that some ship girls provided guidance.

Following the instructions given by the Fantasy, Li Wei tried his best to feign amnesia: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here?"

The corridor was empty, there was no response, and no tentacles of the Fantasy were present.

Li Wei shouted loudly down the corridor, "Is anyone there...!"

The sound echoed through the empty building, one second, two seconds, three seconds… and still no response. The Fantasy's navigation seems rather poor; I have no idea where to go now…

Li Wei got up and randomly chose a direction to move forward, and finally heard a faint sound coming from somewhere.

"Please...come...come here..."

The sound was like a whisper... or perhaps a low murmur; if one had to pinpoint a comparison, it was somewhat like the soft humming that the Gonzawa had sung when it played the mermaid. Levi listened for a while, then walked in the direction the sound was coming from.

This is a dark and cold room with many tentacle elements, it's unclear whether they are part of the Fantasy's own ship equipment or simply decorations.

"You...have come..."

Li Wei ventured deeper into the room. The further he went, the louder the noise became, but the darker the environment grew until he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. If this were outside, Li Wei would have turned around and left immediately, but since it was a simulated scene, he decided to bravely continue forward.

"call……"

A faint candlelight suddenly appeared in the previously dark room.

By candlelight, Li Wei saw a girl sitting up from a coffin, covered in bandages. Was this inspired by the Dolphin?

"Hehe..." Fantasy gently extended her hand towards Li Wei: "You are... the only person I've been waiting for..."

The girl looked directly at Li Wei with her light-colored eyes, her gaze filled with longing: "I have been waiting for you... I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Her voice was dry and hesitant, as if she hadn't spoken in a long time. With the help of the room's light, Levi noticed the Fantasy's tongue, which was even more exaggerated than he had seen in reality.

He swallowed hard. If the Fantasy were to use a tongue like that on him…

"Are you waiting for me?"

Fantasy noticed Li Wei's gaze, and its tongue, which had been retracted, stuck out again, revealing it even more than before: "Are you interested in me... Hehe, that makes me very happy."

The girl slowly sat up higher, her movements elegant and fluid, a stark contrast to the actions of her mouth and tongue, like an elegant queen suddenly revealing her stockings and high heels.

Before Li Wei could speak, the Fantasy revealed more, such as its enormous cotton candy-like body and its flawless jailer. The girl extended the jailer toward Li Wei, attacking from both above and below with her forked tongue: "I am the Fantasy... from the bottom of the lightless deep sea, a forgotten soul."

“I wander on the edge of this world, and you are the only one who could find me. So… now that you have heard my call and found me… will you become my companion?”

Li Wei pulled his attention away from the Fantasy's tongue and maintained his amnesiac persona: "I... before that, I need to know what you really are? And who am I, and why am I here? Unfortunately, I seem to remember nothing."
