Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

On the rooftop of a building near the Yokosuka Port Garrison Base, Jiang Lianqiu looked at the sentries outside the base who were not in good condition at all, and the Eagle Cub of both sizes who came out in groups of three or four, obviously planning to go out and have fun on vacation.

There was no need to use the mechanical servants. Just let the Silver Crown Star Ring use human forces to investigate and let Jiang Lianqiu know that there were currently fourteen people confirmed to have disappeared during the open day.

However, it did not cause any waves in society.

"...These guys are blatantly using their identities to sell illegal addictive drugs here, and nothing's wrong with that. The disappearance of a few ordinary people is definitely not a big deal."

It's possible that more people sink into the cement piles in Tokyo Bay every once in a while than this number.

In fact, according to the report provided by the Silver Crown Star Ring, the families of the missing persons have more or less been visited by local Tokyo police for "advisement".

As for the people behind this group of people, it is of course the famous Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office that is making the move - the agency left behind by the five-star emperor, Marshal Mai, is still in C.

Vivian didn't know why the officials of this country would allow the army of another country to do whatever they wanted on their own land. She just stood beside Jiang Lianqiu with an umbrella, looking down at the street below.

When Vivian saw with her own eyes several soldiers arm in arm openly molesting local girls on the street, she showed a look of disgust.

Jiang Lianqiu looked inside the base again.

The USS Washington is not in the naval port now, but is out of port on routine patrol missions.

The USS Washington is not currently stuck in the harbor like it will be in the future.

Jiang Lianqiu answered Shengli's call and asked, "Shengli, what's the situation?"

commander!?

A voice of triumph and surprise came over the command link.

I'm on the USS Washington and nothing unusual has been detected so far.

But I always feel that there is something familiar on this ship...but I can't find it for a while.

"Mind Cube?"

No no no! No!

Victory quickly denied it.

If it was a mind cube, I believe Sister Hu De would have noticed it yesterday.

On the USS Washington, the stealth force field was activated, and Shengli was standing on the deck enjoying the sea breeze, shaking his head.

Several deck crew members walked by in a group, completely ignoring the girl who was so close to them.

Is there any progress on the issue of the fog of war?

(Zhao Li Zhao) shook his head successfully and looked forward.

She was at the rear of the deck, and on the sea in front of her were the white foam left behind by the aircraft carrier as it cut through the waves.

"It's still unclear, but I've discovered one thing. I personally confirmed after boarding the ship that the fog of war has nothing to do with the USS Washington or the sailors on board."

"It's pure ship sentiment, but it doesn't come from the Washington. I suspect there's something aboard the Washington that doesn't belong there, but I'm still investigating."

"Also, there is one thing that really concerns me."

what's up?

Shengli turned around, looked at the busy deck and the carrier-based aircraft undergoing take-off and landing training, paused, and explained:

"The fake ship emotions of the USS Washington suddenly appeared in the past few days, and the growth rate was abnormally fast. It was completely unlike the normal situation of ordinary ships absorbing emotions after coexisting with sailors for a long time. If there is no accident, these things are driven by external forces."

Chapter 235·Xianghe!

According to Victory, even ordinary ships that are not owned by shipgirls - especially warships, after coexisting with the sailors who control and drive them for a long time, will gradually deposit the collective emotions of the people on board onto their own hulls, generating pseudo-ship emotions that only shipgirls can perceive.

This situation is easy to understand. Yixuan's sister Yijiang, the hairpin that she wore for a long time, also stored some of her memories and emotions, which eventually allowed Yixuan to "hear" his sister's last words before her death through meditation?

Back to the point, if one day this emotion no longer depends on the ship's crew, but is generated by the ship itself, then that fake word can be removed.

But in theory, this kind of thing cannot happen in this world.

But after Shengli's observation, he found that the mood of the fake ship USS Washington was growing rapidly, and there was even a vague sign of removing the fake word - but all this was stuck at the last moment.

Without the Mind Cube and without authorization from Jiang Lianqiu, the Washington will always be the Washington and will never become Washington.

After Jiang Lianqiu told Shengli about the missing person, a mechanical servant appeared silently behind him as soon as he finished communicating.

"Commander." The servitor saluted upon appearing. "We have thoroughly searched the Yokosuka Port base."

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Lianqiu asked casually.

"Ammunition inventory missing, number XXX580X. It has been confirmed that it was secretly resold by base personnel."

"Warehouse No. 3 is hiding illegal addictive drugs XXXX. The supplies in logistics warehouses No. 4 to 7 don't match the actual inventory. Coffee cups that cost less than $1 are listed at $4 each. The commander's backyard also has nine goats listed at $6 million. The number of pregnant female soldiers whose children's fathers are known is XXX, and the number of pregnant female soldiers whose children's fathers are unknown is—"

"Alright, alright! Stop talking! If you keep going, I feel like the whole world is going to be polluted!"

Jiang Lianqiu hurriedly interrupted the machine servant's report.

"As expected of the elite of the empire!" Jiang Lianqiu sighed. It's only 2011 and they're already playing so extravagantly. No wonder there will be so many bizarre news in the future.

"Where are the missing people?"

"I checked all the surveillance footage at the base and found everyone on the missing persons list except Kato Megumi..."

Jiang Lianqiu grimaced in discomfort as he flipped through the report handed over by the mechanical servant.

Only a small number of these people actually disappeared in the base, and the reasons were not unusual, but were related to the various illegal activities in the base.

The remaining group actually encountered various accidents after leaving the base safely.

Only Kato Megumi seemed strange. She was not found in the surveillance footage, and no evidence of her being active was found in the base.

"Also, I have confirmed that Kato Megumi did purchase tickets for the open house, but there is no inspection record of the tickets purchased by Kato Megumi in the ticket inspection records."

"What do you think might be the reason?" Jiang Lianqiu tried to ask for his opinion.

The burly robot servant stood there in a daze, scratching his head for a long moment before answering cautiously, "She... skipped the fare?"

Jiang Lianqiu: “…”

How could someone buy a ticket and then evade the fare!

"Anyway, since there's no one at the base, let's go check on the ship."

After waving his hand to let the mechanical servant leave, Jiang Lianqiu looked at the sea in the distance.

Thinking of the various problems with the USS Washington that Shengli mentioned, he took Vivian and disappeared into the sky.

……Dividing line……

USS Washington, inside the soldiers' mess hall.

At lunch time, most of the soldiers who were not on duty gathered here, sitting at their seats with their plates in hand, eating the terrible meals with a look of discomfort on their faces.

"Shit! The sir eats six million goats, and we eat this garbage!"

"At least it's better than the one next door. I heard from my friends in South Korea that the local monkeys there can only eat kimchi."

"I think that's a good idea. If there's suddenly an all-you-can-eat steak someday, doesn't that mean we're going to have to fight someone?"

The habit of suddenly raising the food standards before going into battle also exists in the Xida army.

No one noticed that in the corner of the cafeteria, there was a girl who looked out of place in the surroundings, standing silently in the corner watching everyone.

The girl's body appeared ghostly and translucent, with a hint of trouble on her face.

She tentatively walked up to a soldier and waved, but the soldier ignored her.

"Eh……"

Kato Megumi sighed.

This situation has been going on for three days.

"I shouldn't have listened to Sister Xianghe." The girl muttered, turned around and left silently.

"Sorry, Hui-chan." An apologetic voice sounded.

Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked with joy at the silver-haired beauty who suddenly appeared in front of her. The beauty looked exactly like herself at the moment, but her body was translucent.

"Sister Shoukaku? Are you recovered?"

"Not yet." Shokaku smiled bitterly and shook his head. "You can see that my body is still translucent."

"So, you are still tied to this ship and unable to leave?"

"That's right." Shokaku sighed heavily, "It also caused you, Hui-chan, to become like this."

Kato Megumi shook her head. Although she was extremely troubled by the current situation, she, an "ordinary female high school student", had no other choice but to rely on Sister Shokaku in front of her.

So she didn't want to put extra pressure on Shokaku.

"Megumi-chan, you are a very gentle child." Shokaku raised his hand and gently stroked Kato Megumi's head.

Their bodies were translucent, and only the two of them could touch each other.

"Actually, I'd feel better if you got angry with me."

"It's useless to be angry." Kato Megumi answered calmly.

"Want to go feel the sea breeze? Even though we can't feel any wind right now."

Shokaku made a suggestion.

Kato Megumi didn't hesitate, nodded, and followed Shokaku to the deck.

Although this wasn't Shokaku's first time on Washington's deck, she couldn't help but sigh when she saw it again.

It's really big.

The historical Shokaku's full load displacement was only 32,000 tons, but the USS Washington under our feet has a full 100,000 tons and is nuclear-powered!

Standing on the deck under the blue sky, Shokaku pretended to enjoy the sea breeze, but when he glanced at the empty corner at the rear of the deck, he frowned unconsciously.

"I always feel like there is someone there?"

Chapter 236: This ship is haunted!

"Ok?"

Victory activated the invisibility field and subconsciously turned his head.

"Strange, was discovered? Impossible..."

She could understand if it was just simple optical invisibility being discovered, but her own phase invisibility might not be cracked even if the humans in this world spent five hundred years.

He scanned the surroundings but didn't find anything unusual. Shengli could only shake his head, thinking that he was being too suspicious.

She raised her hand to lift her golden hair, thinking about what places she had not yet investigated on the ship, and finally locked her target on the nuclear power compartment.

"That's probably the only place left. Let's go take a final look. Hopefully, we'll find something before the commander arrives."

Victory who was leaving had no idea that just one step away from her, two girls with translucent figures were standing side by side.

Shokaku squatted down and carefully observed the deck where Victory had just stood.

"Sister Shoukaku, what's wrong?"

"No... maybe I'm overthinking it." Shokaku stood up, his eyes just meeting the flag flying on the island not far away.

"Tsk!"

She tutted in displeasure.

"Thinking about it carefully, I'm still very angry!" Seeing Kato Megumi's "as expected" look, Shokaku, who had just been acting like a gentle older sister, lost her composure and stomped her feet on the deck.

"Why are the ships of the Sakura Empire in this world all wooden vessels that can't communicate at all?"

"It's fine if it's a wooden ship. I can still feel a little more at ease if everyone else is on a wooden ship. But the White Eagle aircraft carrier stationed here can be used to store the emotions of other ships..."

Kato Megumi thought about it seriously and tentatively explained, "Maybe it's because of the Security Law?"

"Anyway, I'm just very angry." Xianghe bit her lip, but the next second, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her heart.

"What's wrong, Sister Shokaku?" Kato Megumi asked in confusion.

Shokaku didn't answer, but his eyes became extremely solemn. He only had time to say "Follow me" to Kato Megumi before running towards the reactor compartment.
