I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

Eight mirror-image ship girls that have broken through the level limit and can further enhance their combat effectiveness. Lafite feels that even if he tries his best, he will probably sink here.

Don't go head-on!

"Senior Rafi, please leave me here."

Seeing Rafi lost in thought, War-weary spoke.

"If you want to take me with you, Senior Lafite, you will have to deploy the ship. The target is too big. The places you go to are definitely the most dangerous places. It may be safer to leave me on this island."

The current Warspite has not only lost its combat effectiveness, but it can't even navigate normally. If it wants to carry out Operation Warspite, it will not be able to fight without deploying the hull.

In comparison, leaving Warspite on this island does involve certain risks, but the only risk is that the mirror image ship girls won't go to the island to attack her.

"I have experience in hiding in bunkers to avoid artillery fire!"

War-weary said seriously, she wasn't joking.

In the past, when the war between the KanColle and the Sirens was at a disadvantage, running back to the air-raid shelters on land to avoid the Sirens' bombing was almost commonplace.

Although the power of the ship girls has surpassed their historical prototypes, they do not yet have the power to change the terrain. Even if they assembled hundreds of warships, it would probably be difficult to harm a life hiding in an underground bunker.

"......it is good."

Rafi did not hesitate for too long, as reality forced her to make a decision as soon as possible.

Forget about the Royal Ark. The Warspite, which can't even sail, can only drag them back. At this time, there is no point in saying that they will not abandon or give up.

In fact, letting War-weary hide here might be safer than going to the battlefield with them.

"Lafite will pick you up when everything is over."

There is no shortage of hard rock mountains on the island. As long as a cliff hole is dug out to accommodate the war-weariness, it can provide good protection.

Relying on the brute force of the ship girl, Laffey easily dug a cave that was just big enough to accommodate Warspite, and then hid Warspite inside.

“It reminds me a little bit of the past.”

War-weary squatted in the cave with his knees hugged, looking up at Laffite and the Royal Ark, and sighed.

It was undoubtedly torment to be able to hide in the cliff hole and wait for the outcome of the battle at such a critical moment, not to mention that Warspite was the flagship of the KanColle Donghuang War Zone.

As soon as I entered the Mirror Sea, I was badly defeated and had to hide on an island to wait for the battle to be over.

If someone asks me about this in the future, how can I, who is tired of war, say such a thing?

But there is no way.

"Senior Lafei, I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Ah."

Rafi nodded, and even Royal Ark put away its previous embarrassing attitude and became serious, because at this point, she could no longer be willful.

"Next, we split up."

"Eh!!!"

But what Rafi said next made Royal Ark scream.

"why?"

"Because Rafi needs you, Ark Royale, to attract their attention!"

There was no trace of joking on Rafi's face.

"Can it be done?"

Rafi's eyes made the Royal Ark realize that she had to give it her all in the next battle, otherwise she would probably sink if she wasn't careful.

"I understand!"

Ark Royal nodded heavily.

"Warspite, I took your sword, Lafei. It may be used next."

"let's go."

War-weary curled up into a ball, trying to make himself more comfortable.

“In your hands, it can do more.”

With one last look at Warspite, he put on a greatsword that was almost as tall as himself.

"Royal Ark, let's go!"

At the same time, eight Siren mirror image ship girls gathered near the island.

“Is it right here?” - Akagi.

"There's no mistake. Whether it's the radar or the destroyer's soul network, the last location shown is here." - Helena.

"Even though I caught up with him, he will definitely continue to run away." - Hatsutsuki.

"Because we have the advantage in numbers." - Liangyue.

"Huh, so you are scared by a destroyer girl? You actually gathered so much force to encircle and suppress a mere destroyer girl." - Jean Bart.

"If you want to die, we can let you lead the way against her." - Helena.

"Humph."

Jean Bart snorted coldly. After noticing the soul network released by Lafite, she had planned to attack alone.

But on the way, they ran into Helena and other ship girls who had been chasing Laffey.

For people like them, that destroyer girl can deal with more than four at the same time. If she encounters them alone, she will be severely damaged in an instant.

If Jean Bart had not seen the badly damaged Ron and Akagi, he would never have believed such words. If that was true, how high was the training level of that destroyer girl?

"As long as we don't give that destroyer a chance to get close, the two of us can contain her. After all, she's just a destroyer."

The most threatening means for a destroyer girl is the torpedo. Although artillery fire can cause certain damage, it is impossible to quickly sink a destroyer girl whose training level has exceeded the limit.

As long as Lafite is not allowed to get close, neither torpedoes nor physical impact will be possible.

"Out."

With the help of radar, Helena instantly spotted the ship going out to sea.

"Isn't that the destroyer girl?"

"It's the aircraft carrier from before, the Royal Ark!"

Helena did not recognize the ship girl who was going out to sea, but Jean Bart recognized the ship girl who had fought with her not long ago at a glance.

"Impossible, she should have sunk!"

"Let's do it."

Although it is not Laffey, it makes no difference to the mirror ship girls.

All foreign ship girls are their enemies. Now they have the advantage in numbers. If they send one ship girl to deal with the Royal Ark, they still have seven ship girls waiting for Laffey.

After several hours of chasing, Ron's injuries had slowly recovered to moderate damage. Although Akagi was still badly damaged, it did not affect her control of carrier-based aircraft.

"Wait, there's someone next to that aircraft carrier, and that destroyer girl is also here!"

As soon as Helena's voice fell, a group of mirror ship girls saw a silver-white steel battleship appear on the sea outside the island.

"That's the hull of that destroyer girl!"

"What are you waiting for? Chase!"

"Haha, I'm going to return the marks you left on me, your sister, little by little!"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Akagi's eyes.

On the hull of Lafite, Lafite holding a big sword only appeared for a moment.

"Royal Ark, I leave it to you."

Rafi's figure disappeared on her hull.

......

Chapter 117 Embers

“How’s the data collection going?”

"almost."

"The strength of the ship is equivalent to level 120, but there are some inconsistencies between the mind cube and the soul network. The power it exerts is probably between level 110 and 115."

"Have you ever been injured before?"

"For the time being, it can be inferred that this Lafite may not belong to our world."

"Oh, this is an incredible discovery."

"..."

The Mirror Sea is the Sirens' testing ground. Since it is a testing ground, the way to collect information is naturally not limited to collecting the mind cubes left behind by the ship girls after their death.

The fighting and battles of the ship girls, and every time they break their limits, will be recorded and finally collected by the Sirens in their terminals.

This time, the venue provided by the Sirens can not only collect experimental data on the battles of the ship girls, but also include the changes in the soul networks of the ship girls.

in the past

The mirror sea would not have such high specifications, but this time it was different. Among the ship girls who came in for the experiment this time, there was a Siren that the others were very interested in.

“Can you collect memes?”

"can!"

A series of data streams flashed in the tester's eyes, as if something was being transmitted.

"But the soul cannot be copied."

"Is that really the case?"

Whether it is the Sirens or the ship girls in the Mirror Sea, they are all created through the memes of existing ship girls. The difference is that the mirror ship girls are the same as their prototypes in terms of personality and way of thinking at the beginning.

However, the Sirens have no way to copy the personalities of their memetic prototypes.

"Want to give it a try?"

"With our current technology, there is no way to create her yet."

"Oh, that's a shame."

"We must thoroughly perfect the technology to expand the capacity of the Mind Cube."

“Haha, isn’t this what we are doing now?”

The Sirens did not lie. The reason they asked Rafi and the others to come for the experiment was to perfect the technology to expand the capacity of the Mind Cube.

But that's just one reason.

Because even if they don't ask outside ship girls to come in for experiments, it's only a matter of time for the Sirens to perfect this technology, and there's no need to appear in front of the ship girls on purpose.

Therefore, collecting the combat data of the singularity of Lafite is their real purpose!

And they knew that even if they knew it was a trap, Lafite would definitely step into it.

"After collecting the data, do you want to release the water?"

"Hey, isn't this boring?"

"It was you, the Purifier, who said you wanted to release the water at the beginning."

"Have it?"

The Purifier blinked his big eyes with an innocent look on his face.

"hehe."

The observer smiled. Based on the performance of this Laffey just now, the winning rate of the ship girls has increased from 5% at the beginning to 50%, which has increased tenfold.

Because it's too despicable!

Given the character of the ship girl, why would she use her own ship as bait, then dive into the water with her mind body to ambush and attack the enemy?

Through surveillance, the observer saw a white-haired exorcist carrying a large sword on its back, diving into the water with only its head exposed.

Next, if any of the mirror ship girls lets down her guard and is left alone, they may have to face Laffey’s unethical sneak attack.

The most exaggerated thing is that Lafite can summon his own ship across space. Even if the distance is only a few dozen kilometers, as long as he is close to any mirror ship girl, Lafite can summon his own ship in an instant and deploy his ship equipment.
