Elder brother's garrison

“Your acting is indeed very good, and more importantly, you are very young.” Meryl Streep nodded. “Children are indeed very easy to lower people’s guard.”

"If that's the case, how did you find out?"

"..." Aunt Mei smiled kindly, "Gao Le told me that you are too beautiful and suspected that you are a ship girl spy planted by the enemy. He wanted the ship girls around me to identify you."

"……"noob.

Xiao Bai touched his face, speechless.

So this is where the flaw was revealed...

This is really... a complicated feeling.

"Unfortunately, I'm not a ship girl..."

"Yes, you are human. My ship girls have all given me a very clear answer: you are a proper human being. As for that cute face and unique temperament, you are probably just naturally beautiful." Aunt May said with some emotion, "However... children can indeed lower other people's guard, but I am a master at manipulating children. I have been doing this for decades. Some children are just children, and some children have something in their eyes. I can tell at a glance."

"So later you assigned dorm rooms to me and Miao Yan, and then transferred Miss Miao Yan away while I was away..."

"It was all on purpose, just to make you feel some urgency and force you to take action sooner." Aunt Mei looked deeply at Xiao Bai, then shifted her gaze to Miao Yan beside her. "...Sigh...So, the scene is back to how it was before, it's so familiar."

Chapter 3712 Falling from the Sky

Although Aunt Mei didn't have a similar expression on her face, Xiao Bai could sense a strong sense of accomplishment from Aunt Mei's words.

It's like a child playing on the beach for the first time, building a sandcastle to their satisfaction, and then staying by the sandcastle to admire and savor it before the tide comes in.

Logically speaking, it should be very strange for such a mentality to come from a criminal gang leader who has been in the business for decades and already has the mentality of an old lady. After all, Xiao Bai felt that he and Miao Yan were just two "naive" girls in Aunt Mei's eyes. It was too childish to think that he would get a sense of accomplishment from these two girls. At least, it was not something that someone of Aunt Mei's status would do.

But Aunt Mei was in an exceptionally good mood tonight, and seemed quite happy to continue chatting with Xiao Bai...

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai's gaze unconsciously shifted to Miao Yan.

So... was Aunt Mei's reason for doing this related to Miao Yan?

Because Miao Yan stole Aunt Mei's phone card, tainting Aunt Mei's decades-long criminal career with the stain of being tricked by a minor, she wanted to get revenge.

Thinking about it that way, it does make sense...

Miao Yan was so frightened that she couldn't speak at all, but Aunt Mei was still very enthusiastic and was not bothered by Miao Yan's state in the slightest.

so……

Oh……

correct……

As Xiaobai pondered, a look of realization flashed across her eyes. She raised her head and met Aunt Mei's gaze.

"Didn't you just say that I look a lot like Gao Le?" Xiao Bai asked.

“I did say that,” Aunt May nodded.

"Am I the only one who looks a lot like Gao Le?" Xiao Bai seemed to have grasped something and asked Aunt Mei.

"..." Aunt Mei fell silent for a moment after Xiao Bai's question. After a while, she suddenly smiled slightly, "You are indeed very smart. Gao Le is probably not as smart as you at your age."

“Miss Miao Yan told me that she has a friend,” Xiao Bai said.

“Yes, there was one.” Aunt Mei tilted her head slightly and said softly, “She came here around the same time as her.”

"..."

Just as Xiaobai was about to continue speaking, she suddenly felt Miao Yan in her arms trembling even more.

Xiao Bai lowered his head slightly, looking at Miao Yan's sweat dripping from her lowered head and her bloodless face.

“That child is very smart, much like Gao Le, obedient, sensible, and mature.” Aunt Mei said to Xiao Bai at this moment, “Even at this point in time, I still admit that she is a very outstanding girl, even though she is young.”

"It seems something unpleasant happened between you and that girl," Xiaobai said to Aunt Mei, gently pressing Miao Yan's head into his arms.

"Just like you guessed, it's a cliché plot," Aunt Mei said to Xiaobai. "You know, talented people are rare. I originally planned to train that child to be the next Gao Le, and as for her performance... of course, I was satisfied with her for a time."

"Children at this age are very prone to rebellion."

“Rebellious…you’re right, very rebellious.” Aunt Mei nodded, a faint smile in her eyes. “That child is good in every way. She knows clearly that once she comes with me, her position will be different from the other children who stay here. She also knows clearly that she should draw a line between herself and the other children.”

"so……?"

“But sometimes, boundaries can’t be drawn just because you want to. You always need to take action. This is to establish her resolve and to completely separate her from her original identity.” Aunt Mei said, looking at Miao Yan, who was trembling in Xiao Bai’s arms. “So, that night, I made her call over the little girl who used to always be with her, and then I made her kill her in front of me.”

"……"noob.

"Your expression makes it seem like I'm cruel." Aunt May smiled at Xiaobai. "Believe me, this is a necessary procedure. Gao Le did the same thing back then. He's very obedient, which is his greatest strength."

"Now I finally understand why Miss Miao Yan reacts so strongly every time she sees you," Xiao Bai said.

“I hope she reacts more strongly.”

"So that day, the little Gao Le you trained didn't kill Miss Miao Yan? She even stole your phone card and gave it to Miss Miao Yan as a life-saving charm?"

"Your deduction is about 70-80% accurate, which is enough." Aunt Mei nodded. "In short, that's how things went. That child betrayed my trust. I only found out after that that she had never been truly obedient since she came with me. She was always looking for a chance to escape, but what I asked her to do that day exposed her prematurely."

"What happened to her?"

"You can ask Miss Miao Yan next to you about that," Aunt Mei smiled. "Ask her how her little Miao Yan is doing now."

"..." Xiaobai looked down at Miao Yan.

In fact, Gao Yang did say that the name Miao Yan was not actually Miao Yan's real name.

Her real name is something else.

The name "Miao Yan" was simply fabricated by Aunt Mei to facilitate hospitalization.

But fabrication is fabrication.

But no one ever told Xiaobai that this name had no previous owner.

Miao Yan, nestled in Xiao Bai's arms, hugged her shoulders, curled up in a ball, and trembled incessantly. Tears streamed down her face, and her pupils quivered uncontrollably.

...What a bad taste.

"I don't need to ask anymore," Xiaobai said to Aunt Mei, patting Miao Yan's head.

"Oh? You know the result?" Aunt Mei asked.

“She should have been with Miao…” Xiaobai began, pausing under Aunt Mei’s smiling gaze before continuing, “In short… you must have forced them to jump into that open lake in the center of the campus.”

“I didn’t push them; they jumped voluntarily,” Aunt Mei said with a smile. “Although I admit that I did say some things that might have frightened them and made them feel that they might be worse off than dead, I personally hoped that they would live, at least until they told me the location of the phone card. I deeply regret how things turned out.”

"It seems you care about this matter a lot too," Xiaobai said to Aunt Mei.

"me?"

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have done these things to us.” Xiaobai looked at Aunt Mei and said slowly, “The way you’re talking about these things now is like a smug old hen.”

"Didn't your Chinese teacher tell you that metaphors aren't used like this?" Aunt Mei's smile softened.

"Did your history teacher tell you about the dangers of deep-sea energy to humans, and that you must report it to the local authorities as soon as you encounter it?" Xiaobai asked Aunt Mei. "If someone like you, who knows about it but doesn't report it, and is even more likely secretly cultivating deep-sea energy in your own territory, is found out, that's no small crime."

"You seem to know quite a bit about deep-sea energy. How did you figure out that the deep-sea energy in that lake was cultivated by me?" Aunt Mei seemed to have become interested.

“It’s not difficult to judge. The concentration of deep-sea aura in that lake is comparable to that of some dangerous sea areas. If it were a naturally formed lake, given the current state of purification in human settlements, even if there were some residual deep-sea aura, it wouldn’t be this strong,” Xiaobai said to Aunt Mei. “Don’t underestimate the efforts that human admirals have made to protect their homeland over the past five hundred years.”

"..." Aunt Mei's lips curled up. "Cultivation... what an elegant word. I usually just collect the remains of deep-sea creatures that haven't yet dissipated and throw them into the lake on campus."

"What's the use of cultivating deep-sea energy..." Xiaobai frowned.

“It’s useful, very useful.” Aunt Mei glanced at the tall ship girls beside her. “You know, although the ship girls’ bodies can resist the aura of the deep sea, it doesn’t mean that the ship girls can live in an environment full of the aura of the deep sea for a long time. As long as you order them to immerse their whole bodies in the lake water except for three meals and special missions, although there will be no effect at first, as time goes by, year after year, about five, six, seven or eight years, or even more than ten years later, the ship girls’ minds will be gradually disturbed by the aura of the deep sea. In the process that they themselves are unaware of, they will slowly become the way they are now, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and can only listen to my orders.”

As Aunt Mei finished speaking, she gave Xiaobai a kind smile.

"Look how obedient they are now."

"You are a thoroughly wicked person." Xiao Bai's gaze turned cold as she looked at Aunt Mei.

“Thank you, that’s a compliment to me,” Aunt May said to Little White. “You’re also the most naive undercover agent I’ve ever met.”

"Aunt Mei, that's about enough," Xu An said from the side.

"Alright, alright, after saying so much, I'm thirsty too." Aunt Mei reached out and touched her throat. She turned around, and the infinite patience she had just had seemed to have completely vanished at this moment. "Tell me the location of the phone card, and I'll let you two pass away peacefully. Putting aside you, the one next to you probably doesn't want to try jumping into the deep-sea aura lake again."

“A phone card? That won’t do.” Xiaobai shook his head. “I’m counting on using that to determine your sentence.”

"..." Aunt Mei glanced back at Little White, smiled slightly, and said, "Then let him die."

The moment Aunt Mei finished speaking, the several tall ship girls beside her seemed to receive a command and rushed towards Xiaobai at lightning speed.

The ship girls stretched out their hands and reached for Shiro's head.

As the hands in front of her drew closer and closer, Xiaobai sighed.

In short... I've asked almost everything I needed to ask.

It's definitely time to end this.

Just as the tall ship girls next to Aunt May reached out their arms, about to touch Xiaobai's body...

Boom! ! !

The ceiling of the principal's office, where Xiaobai was, suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

Pebbles rained down as two figures descended from the sky.

"Admiral, is it finally my turn to make an appearance?" Illinois's light laughter, accompanied by a shower of dust, stomped the two ship girls who had rushed at her to the ground.

"It's getting dark, time to see the guests off." 1913 landed lightly next to Xiaobai with a parasol in hand. The parasol gently swayed to shield her from the mud and sand. Her legs were not idle either. With a light flick of her emerald green high heels, she sent the two ship girls who were trying to grab Xiaobai flying backward.

Chapter 3713 My Ship Girls Are Even Stronger

Boom!

Illinois and 1913 had barely arrived when they pierced through the principal's office, leaving the room in chaos and disarray.

Xiaobai wasn't surprised by the appearance of Illinois and 1913.

Rather, she has now accepted the fact that these two people could appear at any time.

Xiaobai raised her hand and gently shielded her forehead. Her gaze first fell on the tall ship girls who had been kicked and trampled. Then, her eyes involuntarily lifted, staring at the two unusually conspicuous holes in the ceiling. For a moment, a strange and complex expression appeared on her face.

“Illinois, 1913, you two… lately, do you have some kind of peculiar obsession with the act of falling from the sky…”

"Oh, good question." Upon hearing Xiaobai's sarcastic remark, Illinois turned around, stepping on the two ship girls, and gave Xiaobai a generous smile. "Don't you think it's a pretty cool way to make an entrance, Admiral?"

"That's cool..."

"Just when a delicate and lovely girl is about to be bullied by bad guys, a righteous hero suddenly descends from the sky and successfully prevents the evil from happening, and so on." Illinois put one hand on her hip and explained to Xiaobai with great interest, "Don't underestimate this kind of behavior. In fact, the preparation beforehand and the control of the timing of entry are very important. If we had appeared a second earlier or a second later, the effect would not have been so good."

"……"noob.

Xiaobai didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.

But before Xiaobai could speak, Illinois raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked away and down at her.

The two ship girls, who had just been trampled to the floor by Illinois due to the impact, were now slowly using their hands to support themselves on the floor, trying to get up.

Illinois and 1913's entrance, according to Illinois... while it was very cool, was ultimately just a matter of ordinary physical attacks.

With just these two moves, it wouldn't be so easy to subdue the evil ship girls present.

The ship girls beneath Illinois' feet rose, covered in brick dust, and with tremendous force, slowly lifted Illinois's body into the air.

"oh oh……"

Illinois made a few soft sounds, then took two steps back and jumped off the ship girls beneath her onto the floor.

The other ship girls who were kicked away by 1913 also crawled up from the piles of bricks and tiles like resurrected zombies.

After these ship girls got up, they didn't even bother to brush off the dust. Covered in dust, their eyes remained lifeless and empty as they stared at Xiaobai.

"Admiral, these people seem a bit suspicious," 1913 said to Xiaobai, holding up an umbrella.

"Hmm...they are ship girls corrupted by the aura of the deep sea." Xiaobai nodded.

“Erosion?” 1913 and Illinois looked at Little White.

"Simply put, it's similar to taking psychotropic drugs for a long time, which causes the personality to become fragmented, eventually leading to a state where one is unable to think and only obeys someone's orders," Xiaobai explained to 1913 and Illinois.

"There are actually methods in this world to corrupt ship girls."

"So they're innocent people?" Illinois asked. "Should we go easy on them?"

"The ship girl's body is quite sturdy, let's finish this quickly." Xiaobai sighed.

"As ordered."

Upon hearing this, Illinois smiled.
