Elder brother's garrison

Xiaobai saw Missouri dressed in a trendy outfit.

"...Nurse sister?" Xiaobai asked, somewhat puzzled.

The last time Xiaobai saw Missouri was at a clinic on Colorado Island.

Missouri even impersonated a nurse to treat Xiaobai's wounds and fix his hair.

Later, Missouri used the clothes stained with Bismarck's blood that she obtained at this time to lure the nearly rampaging Bismarck to the sea and forcibly restrain her movements.

—Although they were eventually utterly defeated by Bismarck.

"Yes, it's been a long time." Missouri was being watched by a group of ship girls, so she didn't dare to move around too much and could only smile and nod at Shiro. "Hello."

Xiaobai had a very good impression of this gentle nurse. She walked up to Missouri and smiled at her, saying, "So, nurse, you're a ship girl."

For newbies who have access to the Admiral Network, it's easy to identify Missouri's true identity.

As Xiaobai smiled, Missouri could feel the needle-like killing intent that had been pricking her body recede like water.

The surrounding scenery returned to normal.

Missouri breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello." Missouri smiled at Little White. "Um... it's not very convenient to chat here. Could you take me to the Admiral's office?"

“…Okay.” Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded.

Missouri looked toward the spot where the woman with the long flaxen hair had been.

The woman has disappeared.

Missouri followed Little White upstairs and into the admiral's office.

I never felt that strange murderous aura again along the way.

Upon entering the admiral's office, the flaxen-haired ship girl from before was standing behind the door, looking at Shiro with a doting smile.

"Welcome back. How was your time at Yixian's?"

“Yes, Yi Xian’s Bajiquan is really cool,” Xiao Bai replied.

Did she teach you?

"No, it's something else."

Missouri watched as Xiaobai and the woman chatted as they walked to the sofa.

"Oh, what a pity." The woman with long flaxen hair poured a few cups of black tea and handed them to Xiaobai.

Next, Xiaobai gently pecked at the ground a few times.

The woman with long flaxen hair handed a cup of black tea to Missouri: "Lexington."

"Thank you." Missouri nodded and smiled as she accepted the gift. "Missouri."

“I was really rude just now. I didn’t expect you to know my admiral.” Lexington’s eyes were fixed on Missouri, as if he could read her mind.

Missouri responded with a smile.

Lexington didn't react to his own name, so it seems he was unaware of what he had done on Colorado Island.

Did the senior not mention the fight with Lexington?

"So, what brings Missouri here this time?" Lexington asked.

"...Excuse me, is Bismarck in this naval base?" Missouri didn't answer Lexington's question, but instead asked a different question in return.

"Yes, it's no secret. Do you need to speak with Bismarck of our naval base?"

“Yes, that was a truly unforgettable encounter,” Missouri said.

"On Colorado Island?" Lexington asked calmly, maintaining his smile.

"...How did you know that?"

"The only person who could know both my admiral and Bismarck could be on Colorado Island," Lexington said. "Which naval base are you from?"

“…I am not a ship girl in the naval base,” Missouri replied.

She glanced at Xiaobai.

"I am self-employed."

Lexington looked at Missouri, then turned to look at Little White.

Xiao Bai sat quietly on the sofa, sipping the tea poured by Lexington, looking completely innocent.

“…She was someone I met on Colorado Island. At the time, I didn’t know she was a ship girl.” Seeing Lexington’s expression, Xiaobai explained, “She took great care of me.”

Whether intentionally or accidentally, Xiaobai's evasive answer lowered Lexington's guard by half.

Individual ship girls refer to ship girls who, due to various reasons, are born without an admiral or who are born without an admiral.

Due to the special human rights law for ship girls, these ship girls can also work like hired ship girls and receive remuneration.

"Is Missouri an individual ship girl?" Lexington gave Missouri a deep look. "She's quite an interesting person."

Lexington was naturally familiar with the name Missouri.

The queens of battleships. Ship girls who decide the outcome of world-class wars.

This level of ship girl is actually an individual ship girl, and she's still completely unknown.

The reasons behind this are truly thought-provoking.

“I want to join your naval base.” Missouri looked at Lexington, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Missouri knew the weight of her words.

Missouri knew what kind of person she was.

As one of the most powerful warships in history, the Missouri possessed unparalleled performance and influence.

She was certain that if she announced that she was tired of playing and wanted an admiral to pick her up and take her home, the next day the line of admirals outside her house would probably circle the Atlantic Ocean.

If you encounter some admirals with poor mental fortitude, it's not impossible for them to burst into tears or even have a heart attack after hearing these words.

You must be so happy! Missouri-chan is amazing! You must be thrilled that she's honored to join your base!

Cheer and rejoice! It's your right!

"Could I hear your reasons?" Lexington asked thoughtfully, not as Missouri had expected, when he heard that Missouri wanted to join the naval base.

—I'm a little bit discouraged.

“Because you are powerful enough,” Missouri said. “And I want a home. Is that reason enough?”

"Hmm, that's only natural," Lexington muttered to herself, then turned to Little White. "What do you think, Little White?"

"Huh? Me?" Xiaobai was taken aback.

Missouri remained standing quietly, waiting for Xiaobai's reply.

"...I think it's fine." Xiaobai showed an innocent smile.

“Alright, since Xiaobai doesn’t object, we can take a look at the information first…” Lexington looked at Xiaobai and could only nod.

Naval bases don't just randomly assign individual ship girls to their units. The reasons for this are quite complex, but ultimately, rules are made by people. If a battleship of the Missouri's caliber were to offer itself up, it wouldn't be impossible to make an exception.

If Missouri were to actually join the naval base, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

“But,” Lexington began, before Xiaobai interrupted her with her next words, “Nurse sister.”

"You really don't have an admiral?"

Xiao Bai's pure, unadulterated eyes looked at Missouri.

It was just a casual, innocent question from a girl.

Missouri, however, felt that her secret was like snow under the sun, melting away rapidly in the warm sunlight, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Chapter 91 Physical Examination

After an admiral links with a ship girl, that admiral's mark will be left in the ship's equipment.

It's like a coordinate left by the admiral's network, engraved deep within the ship's equipment. When the admiral needs it, this coordinate will be triggered, allowing the view to be shared with the ship girls from anywhere.

Moreover, the imprint of this network of admirals cannot be erased by ordinary means.

It was as if the name had been carved into the ship's equipment with a steel knife.

Once this mark is left, neither the admiral nor the ship girl can erase the fact that this mark exists, regardless of whether they change their minds.

The mark will only disappear with the admiral's life unless the admiral dies.

“If you don’t believe me, you can verify my ship equipment using the Admiral Network,” Missouri said to Xiaobai. “You should have the Admiral Network activated, right?”

Missouri itself doesn't mind this kind of physical examination.

Although it may seem like there's some self-doubt or discomfort, it is indeed one of the most direct ways to gain trust.

“If possible, that would be the best course of action; it’s the most responsible thing to do for Missouri.” Lexington nodded in agreement.

"Is it okay?" Xiaobai asked Missouri.

Using the Admiral's Network indiscriminately on ship girls who don't yet belong to you is very rude, so Xiaobai definitely needs to consult Missouri's opinion before taking any action.

"Please feel free to do as you please. After all, I'll be your ship girl sooner or later." Missouri nodded, her face full of composure.

After receiving permission, Xiaobai put down her teacup and sat quietly for a while.

Because of its rather large size, Xiaobai's Admiral Network is not only quite difficult to control, but also has a long preparation time for opening and closing.

An invisible wave rippled out from Xiaobai's body.

It's been a few days since Xiaobai returned to the naval base, and he has become somewhat familiar with the Admiral's Network. Although he's not quite proficient yet, he's not so skilled that connecting to a ship girl would give him the thrill of having cannons blasting down doors.

However, the fatigue persisted, and Xiaobai began to suspect that this might be a side effect that would never disappear.

Missouri sensed the energy emanating from Little White.

The Admiral Network is essentially a materialized flow of information. Therefore, normal humans cannot perceive this flow of information and will not be affected in any way. The Admiral Network can only affect people who also have the Admiral Network and ship girls who can perceive its existence.

Uncontrollably, the massive battleship armaments of the Missouri, resembling a totem, were unleashed.

Lexington glanced at the white ship rigging behind Missouri.

Indeed, in terms of scale and imposing presence, it is quite a formidable presence.

Xiaobai's admiral network enveloped Missouri's ship equipment.

Even though she had been restricted to the extent that she shouldn't frighten the ship girls, Missouri still felt as if she were being tightly gripped by something.

My heart started pounding wildly.

She instinctively tried to struggle.

"Don't move." Lexington saw through Missouri's thoughts. "If you want to experience the pleasure of being violated, you can try it."

Missouri could only smile silently.

...What an incredible network of admirals!

Because Xiaobai was focused on controlling the Admiral Network, he didn't hear Lexington and Missouri's voices.

In fact, controlling such a large and bloated network of admirals is an extremely difficult task. Xiaobai is now gathering his admiral network into a ball, then forcibly squeezing it into a thin stream, and then using that miniature admiral network to contact Missouri.

As Lexington said, if Missouri had made even the slightest move of resistance, even just a subconscious physical reaction, it would have caused Little White's control to collapse instantly.

When that time comes, Missouri will be greeted by its full force: the White Army's network of admirals will unleash a barrage of cannon fire, advancing deep into Missouri and striking at its heart.

Of the entire naval base, only Veneto had ever tried one-fifth of the cannon's version to bombard the gate.

Gradually, Xiaobai's admiral network cautiously infiltrated Missouri's ship equipment.

They reached the core without any obstacles.

Only when the ship girls completely open their minds can the Admiral's Network penetrate to such a deep place, which is also the place where the Admiral's Network should have left its mark.

—It's empty.

Indeed, there are no other admirals' marks.

Missouri felt the stagnant power within her body being rapidly drawn out and returning to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai opened its eyes.

"How is it?" Missouri asked.
