Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

Looking at the time on his phone, Xue Cheng said, "Since you've already proven it, go back quickly. It's getting late."

"Is the Admiral an idiot?" Yong Meng crossed his arms, looking very unhappy. "I just did that with Yong Meng, and you're actually kicking me out? The Admiral must have never had a girlfriend before!"

Why do all these shipgirls like to poke people in the face? Xue Cheng smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. It was true that due to his ordinary appearance and introverted personality, he rarely interacted with women and had never thought of finding a girlfriend. Although he didn't think it was strange, after all, in his original world, more and more young people began to choose to be single.

But in front of the girls, Xue Cheng would never admit this. He puffed out his chest and said disdainfully, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm still very popular with girls. I had another reason for driving you away."

Yongmeng didn't say anything, just looked at him with his arms folded.

"Yong Meng, you should know this, right? I was injured yesterday." Xue Cheng pointed to his ankle and said, "Shengming is worried about me being alone, so I'll stay with her until I recover."

"Then what?" Yong Meng asked.

"Then..." Xue Cheng didn't expect Yong Meng's reaction to be so calm. He was stunned for a moment before continuing, "I had already sent a message to Sheng Wang before leaving Lexington's house. If we don't return on time, Sheng Wang will probably come looking for us. What will you do then?"

"Admiral, are you worried that I can't defeat her?" Yong Meng said thoughtfully, "Well, although it's difficult for carrier-based aircraft to organize an effective attack at night, as long as I'm in a brightly lit area, I still have a chance of winning. Don't worry, Admiral."

"I'm not worried about you!" Xue Cheng rolled his eyes. This was what he was afraid of. Although the cool head maid would not initiate conflicts with others, her brave character was just like her name. Bravery and perseverance were her creed. As for retreating and giving in, it was obviously not going to happen to her.

"Hehe... Everyone says that I have bad luck, but it seems that my luck is pretty good today." Yongmeng grabbed Xue Cheng's wrist. Although Xue Cheng did not feel much force, when he struggled, he found that he could not shake the other party at all.

"That idiot Lexington had already taken the admiral home, and he actually let you out. I got you for nothing." Yong Meng ignored Xue Cheng's struggles and pulled him towards the other side of the path. He deliberately smiled and teased, "Dear, don't struggle. You can't resist me."

Xue Cheng's face flushed crimson. His arms were slender, showing no signs of training. He said helplessly, "You're cheating! How could you use the power of your ship suit against an ordinary person? That's too much!"

Yong Meng was indifferent: "If you put it this way, then someone abandoned his newlywed wife without even having a honeymoon, and then gave a ring to another ship girl. That behavior is excessive, right?"

"Uh, that kind of thing..."

"Admiral, you can't refute it. In that case, just follow me obediently. Don't even think about escaping. I won't give you that chance. Be prepared. I won't let you sleep tonight!"

"Help!"

"Hahahaha, give up, no one can save you!"

Xue Cheng was helpless. He could neither fight nor escape. It seemed that he had no other choice but to accept his fate. After all, he would not suffer any loss in this matter, so why should he run away?

Feeling that the resistance in his hands had suddenly disappeared, Yong Meng turned around and smiled slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Xue Cheng saying with a strange expression: "It's all your fault for setting up random flags. Look over there."

Yong Meng shook his head: "This method of diverting attention is too old-fashioned. I already said I won't give you a chance to escape."

Xue Cheng smiled bitterly: "I didn't divert my attention. You can tell by looking behind you."

Yong Meng suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. She turned her head and looked behind her. A strange face with a pale face, scarlet pupils, and a black mouth full of blood-red fangs, as if it was roaring loudly with its mouth open, came into her sight.

"Wow! There's a monster!" Yong Meng screamed and retreated, grabbing Xue Cheng and trying to escape.

Novel Book Group 25 51 89192 (Gong Zhonghao: 51 Reading) "...Sister Yongmeng?" Just as Yongmeng took a step forward, the monster made a girl's voice.

"..."

"What? It's Ayanami." Yong Meng gently stroked the towering chest and looked at the girl in front of her with a mask pinned on the side of her head with an innocent face. She was really scared.

Xue Cheng looked carefully at the girl in front of him.

She had short brown hair, decorative purple horns on her forehead and neck, and a purple robe. However, the robe was not worn properly, with only the buttons on the chest fastened, which did not provide much coverage at all.

Fortunately, she had a set of suspender bikini under her clothes, which was only half-covered. Combined with her plump figure that was totally inconsistent with her age, it made her look even more sexy and seductive.

The girl also wore a pair of socks of different lengths with purple patterns on her legs.

Ayanami was a Japanese destroyer during World War II. In the Third Battle of the Solomon Islands, Ayanami fought against a larger enemy force, and despite a huge disparity in strength, she damaged four warships and caused two of them to sink. Although she paid the price with her life in the end, this terrifying record still made her remembered by many people, and she is also known as the Ghost of Solomon.

Ayanami in the game has excellent torpedo value. The skill Solomon's Ghost can ensure that she can still deal enough damage even in a damaged state. In the night battle state, it can provide a large amount of torpedo value bonus, which is very effective against some non-ground unit enemies with high health and high armor.

In one event, Xue Cheng was unable to defeat an OSS with high armor and health for a long time. Finally, after making a vow that "whoever kills the enemy flagship will get the Ring of Promise", he added Ayanami to his team with a try-it attitude. As a result, during the night battle, he used his supernatural power to successfully kill the OSS and took the ring from the hands of a number of battleships.

"What are the Admiral and the brave sister doing here?" Ayanami tilted her head.

"We...it's nothing." Yong Meng hesitated, feeling that what he was about to do was not suitable to be said in front of the children, so he asked, "What is Ayanami doing here?"

"Playing tag." Ayanami pointed to her nose and said, "I'm a ghost."

112. Special Destroyer

It is indeed a suitable choice to let the ghost Ayanami catch people. Xue Cheng imagined the scene of Ayanami wearing this suit, with a mask on her face, moving through the green belts and bushes beside the path, catching the hiding destroyers one by one, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Admiral?" Ayanami looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting." Xue Cheng was explaining when Yong Meng beside him suddenly muttered, "I think it's fun to take advantage of someone..."

What does that mean? Xue Cheng scratched his hair, his eyes accidentally glancing at Ayanami. He stared at the girl for a moment before realizing the problem.

Due to the height difference between Xue Cheng and Ayanami, Xue Cheng was looking down at them when they were facing each other. This angle was not a big deal, but Ayanami's figure was not as flat as some people, and her clothes were wide open, so she could see a lot of scenery.

Ayanami doesn't seem to realize this, and with her confused expression, she has a unique charm.

"Hmm." Xue Cheng felt his nose getting hot and quickly turned around to cover his face with his hands. He checked his palms in the light of the street lamp and found no embarrassing bloodstains. Xue Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and saw Yong Meng looking at him with a half-smile, giving him a look for help.

'You wanted to run away from me just now, but now you're in trouble and still have to rely on me, right?' Yong Meng thought smugly, leaning down and patting Ayanami's head. "Since you're having fun, I and the Admiral won't disturb you. We have other things to do. Bye."

Ayanami looked at Xue Cheng, wanting to say something but stopping herself, with an inexplicable look flashing in her eyes. Finally, she nodded, stepped aside, and watched the two people pass by her and leave quickly.

"Eh? It really is the Admiral." Before Xue Cheng and Yong Meng had walked far, a calm voice suddenly came from the bushes beside them: "I thought I heard it wrong."

Her brave expression froze. She looked at the girl who separated the branches and walked out cautiously, not knowing what to say.

By the way, could my luck be really low?

Xue Cheng was also looking at the girl in front of him who was picking off the leaves stuck in her hair. She looked somewhat similar to Ayanami, with medium-length hair tied into a ponytail with a red headband. She was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume that was particularly eye-catching in the dark night, and a stick with a white paper strip wrapped around it was pinned to her belt. Xue Cheng remembered that this thing seemed to be called a royal coin?

"It's Fukibo." Xue Cheng looked at the girl in front of him, then turned back to look at Ayanami who was walking over. One is a ghost and the other is a shrine maiden. Could it be that the two sisters dressed that way tonight on purpose?

Shikinami is the second ship of the Ayanami-class. Just like her initial portrait, she is not a famous ship in history, nor does she have a brilliant record like her sister Ayanami. She was mediocre before the transformation, but after the transformation, she transformed into a pretty and lovely girl, and her face resembles the heroine in a popular animation. She was gradually noticed by Xue Cheng. Although her strength is not very strong, she still got the opportunity to be trained.

"Yes, Admiral, it's Fukibo." The girl tilted her head slightly to look at Xue Cheng, her gaze slowly moving downwards, finally landing on the wrist that Yongmeng was holding tightly. "Sister Yongmeng...are you forcing the Admiral?"

"What? You make it sound like I'm doing something bad. We were just taking a walk. There were no street lights on the road just now. I was worried that the admiral might accidentally fall." Yong Meng let go of Xue Cheng guiltily. Although she could initiate an active attack on Xue Cheng, she could not ignore other people's gazes, especially a girl like Fu Bo who looked as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

"Oh, I misunderstood." Fu Bo's tone was light and she didn't apologize at all, but Yong Meng, feeling guilty, had no intention of getting entangled with her any longer. She had always suffered from bad luck and instinctively realized that if she didn't leave quickly, she would probably get into trouble.

"Fuki, you've been caught. Now it's your turn to play the ghost." Ayanami walked over and grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes.

"Yes, we were caught." Shiki blinked. "In that case, call everyone over and let's start the game again."

"..." Yong Meng felt that it was already a very difficult task to take Xue Cheng away easily, because after Ayanami took out her mobile phone and sent a message in the group of friends, the rustling sound of leaves and grass being moved and trampled came from all around, and soon, several girls slowly walked over.

"Ah! It's the Admiral!"

"And Sister Yong Meng!"

The four girls who came out all had blue hair, two of them had long hair, and the other two had slightly shorter hair. They looked surprisingly similar, like twins. They gathered around Xue Cheng and chattered loudly, making it impossible for him to tell who was who.

"Blizzard class..." Xue Cheng slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "Sorry, you two look so much alike, I really can't tell which one is which."

"Admiral, you're so stupid." A girl made a face at Xue Cheng. "You can tell just by looking at the hairstyle, right? My hair only reaches my back, and it's braided. Shirayuki's hair is the longest, and if it hangs down it reaches her ankles. Hatsuyuki and Miyuki both have their hair tied up, but that length is still very recognizable, right?"

Shirayuki, Hatsuyuki, Miyuki, so she must be Fubuki? Xue Cheng quickly memorized the features of several girls and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll remember that. I won't make the mistake next time."

"If you admit your mistake again next time, I will punish you by eating food made in London." The girl Hatsuyuki, whose hair was still long enough to reach her calves even with her hair tied up, said in pretended anger.

Xue Cheng's expression changed. Chu Xue's casual words brought back memories that he had tried so hard to forget.

"Okay, Chuxue, don't mention such terrible things." Although she was young, she was much more stable and mature than her sisters. Bai Xue noticed the fear that flashed across Xue Cheng's face and smiled softly, covering her mouth. "London cuisine is terrible enough to leave a shadow on your life. Even as a punishment, it shouldn't be used casually."

Hatsuyuki stuck out her tongue playfully, while her younger sister, Miyuki, who had been silent the entire time, asked weakly, "Why are the Admiral and Sister Yongmeng here? Are they here to play with us?"

No! Of course not! If you want to play childish games, go away. I have adult things to do! Yong Meng shouted in his heart.

"No." Before Xue Cheng could answer, Fu Bo's voice, which was completely calm, rang out: "The Admiral and Sister Yong Meng were just taking a walk and happened to pass by here."

113. Catching Bugs

"Take a walk?" Hatsuyuki's eyes lit up. "Does that mean the Admiral and Sister Yongmeng don't have anything important to do?"

Xue Cheng was no longer in a hurry and stood aside to watch the show.

"You can't say that. The admiral will come to my side to help later." Yong Meng hesitated and racked his brains to find an excuse.

"Sister Yong Meng, are you in trouble?" Fu Bo said slowly, "If you don't mind, we can help you."

"That's right!" Fubuki raised her hands and said energetically, "Sister Yongmeng, if you have any difficulties, please tell us. As long as we can help, we will do our best!"

"Yes, if you have any troubles, just leave it to us."

"Sister is right."

Looking at the girls chattering and making promises to her, Yong Meng lost his composure for a moment. Her personality was just like her name, being straightforward was her creed, and she seldom needed to use lies to cover herself up, so she was still not good at lying suddenly.

In particular, Fu Bo's eyes were always fixed on her. His calm gaze seemed to be able to see through her pupils into the deepest part of her heart, making Yong Meng subconsciously feel guilty.

"Actually..." Yong Meng had never thought that he would feel so guilty in front of a destroyer. "It's not a particularly troublesome thing, it's just..."

Fu Bo tilted his head: "Just?"

Yong Meng gritted his teeth and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Because a huge spider has entered my house, I don't dare to catch it and I don't want my sisters to know, so I want to ask the Admiral for help."

Spiders? The brave sister was actually afraid of spiders? Hatsuyuki puffed up her cheeks, suppressing the urge to laugh, and said reluctantly, "Is that it?"

Ayanami blinked. Although she was a girl, she didn't think there was anything to be afraid of spiders. If her sisters hadn't objected, she would even want to keep one at home as a pet.

"What's wrong? Is it strange to be afraid of spiders?" As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest. Since the lie has been told, in order to avoid being exposed, he can only continue to cover it up with lies. Yongmeng tucked a strand of hair behind his ear and put on an unhappy expression.

"No, we don't think Sister Yongmeng is weird," Miyuki said softly, "Actually, I'm also afraid of those multi-legged insects. Usually, when spiders or centipedes come into the house, Sister Fubuki and Sister Shirayuki clean them out."

This child, surely, wouldn't lie? Just like... me.

Yong Meng could easily tell from Miyuki's expression that she was not being sincere. Even the weak Miyuki was not afraid of insects, but he had to pretend to be a little girl in order to cover up his lie.

"If it's just spiders, let's come and help. By the way, help Sister Yongmeng clean up the bugs in the house. If the admiral is alone, he might overlook something." Fu Bo's gaze seemed to pass over Xue Cheng's face inadvertently, and he smiled faintly.

"Okay! Just leave the bugs and other things to me!" Chu Xue responded loudly.

"Then let's go now." Fubuki rubbed his hands together and said, "Sister Akagi won't let us play too late. We have to go back quickly after we finish our work."

"Yes, Sister Yongmeng, let's go now."

Ayanami tilted her head and looked at Xue Cheng. A thoughtful look flashed across her face. Then she slowly raised her hands, spread her fingers into claws like a monster, and called out softly, "Gahou——"

Wow, what a cute little monster!

At the Essex sisters' villa.

Hancock, who had been on the run for a few days, saw that the situation had gradually calmed down and everyone's attention was focused on Richelieu and King Kong. He finally left the secret base in Ticonderoga tonight, quietly returned home, and was slumped on the sofa.
