Azur Lane Mobile Front.

Rob waved his hand and began to organize his thoughts.

The Purifiers discovered that the fragment was indeed located where "Good Man Richard" had just disappeared.

Then, this fragment does indeed have a problem.

Given this, Yorktown's approach doesn't seem to have any major problems.

"I think I can try it."

Since he was just waiting around anyway, Rob thought he might as well give it a try.

...

A figure descended from the sky and broke into the research institute.

The research institute, which had already been ravaged, was now riddled with holes.

For ships capable of flight, rushing in would be extremely easy.

"These are still somewhat difficult to handle..."

Yorktown frowned as it watched the humans who had gathered around it upon hearing the noise.

The pervasive black mist already made her feel a little annoyed.

The presence of these people blocking the road only added to her frustration.

"The rescue will begin soon, so please lie down quietly for now."

Holding their massive cannons, Yorktown charged toward the humans.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, the human at the very front was sent flying sideways.

Although Yorktown is not good at close combat, she still knows the most basic swinging and smashing technique.

Therefore, with the support of the powerful flying brick machine, Yorktown was like a game of whack-a-mole, swatting all the humans away.

This is a scene that Robb cannot see now, otherwise he would probably have a new understanding of Yorktown, his oathship ship.

The commotion outside the door quickly alerted the Purifiers.

"Huh?!"

Before she could react, the door was forcibly pushed open.

"Miss Purifier, could you please give me that fragment?"

Although the warm smiles on Yorktown's faces were a refreshing sight in this dark environment.

However, to the Purifier, this smile might be more frightening than the surrounding environment.

Sure enough, every single ship in this port area is a monster.

"Um... could you take me with you too?"

"No, my partner said you have to stay here and keep watch."

With a smile, Yorktown took the fragment from the Purifier and immediately returned home.

Only the Purifier remained standing there with a long face.

"Really..."

...

On the sea surface, a giant tai chi symbol began to rotate.

A pale blue, transparent barrier began to form on the sea surface.

Fushun, who was floating quietly in the air in the form of the Sparrow King, nodded toward Yorktown beside him.

Carrying the fragment, Yorktown rushed into the barrier through the gap that Fushun had deliberately opened.

Outside the barrier, the Enterprise Meta, the Flying Dragon Meta, and two Meta ships from the Ironblood side silently observed everything inside.

"Let's begin."

Just then, Rob's voice came.

Yorktown closed her eyes, and golden light began to emanate from her.

In her palm, the fragment also began to emit the same light.

In the golden light, another figure slowly emerged.

"..."

The girl's eyes trembled incessantly, as if she were about to wake up at any moment.

"She appeared..."

The moment the girl awoke, black mist began to emerge from the barrier.

"Sure enough, this is the source of the pollution!"

Seeing this, Rob knew that regardless of whether he had found the good man Richard, he had at least found the source of the pollution incident on White Eagle's side.

The black mist was blocked by Fushun's barrier and could not spread out.

As a result, visibility within the barrier decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Golden light surged within the black mist.

Looking at the figure in the picture, Rob knew that Yorktown's previous guess was correct.

This fragment is indeed the original "Good Man Richard".

And she did indeed appear because of dimensional power.

"System, is there anything you'd like to say?"

[This system states that everything is the result of the host and their ships' actions. It has nothing to do with this system.]

"Heh, I didn't say it had anything to do with you."

Now that things have come to this, Rob has finally sorted out his thoughts.

It all probably started with the shot that blasted Goodman Richard from Yorktown.

Yorktown during the awakening stage of the Pearl and Jade should have caused a certain dimensional tremor in its surroundings.

Although Rob and the others were not affected, it's possible that the impact was limited to a smaller area.

For this reason, Richard, a good man who would not normally exist in the material world, was briefly pulled into the real world.

Then, Yorktown's cannon fire, imbued with dimensional power, struck Good Man Richard directly in his body.

In that instant, Richard the Good Guy's ship equipment did indeed suffer damage.

The fragment Yorktown has now is probably the piece of ship equipment that fell from Good Guy Richard's ship back then.

Then, the immense dimensional power directly activated the will of this fragment.

"Everything has its own will... is that even an explanation...?"

Thinking of this, Rob couldn't help but smile wryly.

Then, with the influx of dimensional power, the will of this fragment took on a concrete form—a cute, gentle version of Richard.

That is, the girl that everyone saw earlier.

Then, since she is a fragment of the original Good Man Richard, she probably also possesses some of the characteristics of Good Man Richard himself.

For example, pollution.

It's likely that after White Eagle retrieved her, he did something that provoked her, causing her will to go berserk.

Based on what we just saw, it seems that the pollution doesn't occur when "Good Guy Richard" is in a silent state.

In other words, this pollution incident involving White Eagle was indeed something they brought upon themselves.

"Now, let me see what this 'good guy Richard' really knows..."

Looking at the girl who had already woken up in the picture, Rob frowned.

Chapter 518: Mr. Luo: Am I a multiple playthrough player?

Inside the barrier, "Good Man Richard" finally opened her bright blue eyes.

Before Yorktown could even ask a question, she spoke first.

"Do you know Ling? Hmm... she also has a name, Observer Zero, which is... very... similar to your name... ah... eh?"

For some reason, it seems that for "Good Richard," the period of her disappearance did not exist in his own perception.

Therefore, from her perspective, she is still continuing her previous conversation with the Purifier.

However, at this moment, she was no longer in that research institute.

The person in front of me was no longer the Siren who always seemed to have something wrong with her head.

"Hmm? I don't know~"

Yorktown, standing opposite "Good Man Richard," smiled and answered the other person's question.

"Wait, wait, where did that person go? And where am I?!"

"Why did everything change in the blink of an eye?!"

Even a gentle girl would go crazy in this situation.

For example, this girl who calls herself "Good Guy Richard" has raised her voice several notches.

"Hmm... I can answer that question for you~"

As he spoke, Yorktown showed the fragment in his palm, which was simultaneously emitting a faint golden light and a thick black mist, to "Good Man Richard" in front of him.

"Huh? What's this...?"

Upon seeing the fragment, "Good Man Richard's" pupils dilated instantly.

"Hmm...this is you."

The overwhelming impact left "Good Man Richard" in a daze.

Taking this opportunity, Yorktown also had some time to communicate with Robb.

After receiving a reply from Yorktown that this level of pollution wouldn't be a big problem for her, Rob had no choice but to let her continue communicating with "Good Man Richard".

"call..."

After a long while, "Good Man Richard" let out a long sigh.

It seems she has accepted the fact.

"So that's how it is. I'm just a fragment."

"No wonder there are so many gaps in my memory."

"Good Richard" seems to have a strong capacity for acceptance; she calmly accepted this level of reality in just a short period of time.

"Now that you've accepted the facts, could you perhaps talk to me?"

At Rob's behest, Yorktown handed the communication device to "Good Man Richard".

"teacher?!"

However, the moment the other person saw Rob's face, they exclaimed in surprise.

"???"

Now, not only the ships that hadn't experienced the Northern Union incident before, but even the Ember ships like Enterprise and Meta showed expressions of shock.

"Ah, now I'm sure you really are a good person, Richard, because that's what she called me back then too."

"But unfortunately, I'm not the person you know."

"At least, in my understanding, I am not."

Shrugging, Rob seemed to have expected this.

"It really is you..."

The company's meta member next to him muttered something in a barely audible voice.

"I see... It seems you're also facing a perplexing situation, teacher..."
