……Dividing line……
In the reactor compartment of the USS Washington.
Victory remained invisible, strolling in the empty cabin, completely ignoring the surging energy coming from the nearby nuclear reactor.
"The emotions here are indeed heavier... huh?"
When she passed a corner, she suddenly stopped.
In a gap between some equipment, she found a strange red mark.
"Is this... a crane?" He raised his fingertips and gently touched the tiny red pattern that would never be noticed without careful observation. Shengli stared at it for a long time before realizing that this abstract symbol seemed a bit similar to a bird like a crane.
With a swipe of his fingertips, the small pattern was immediately erased a little. Shengli rubbed his fingertips and frowned.
"Blood?"
In a trance, Shengli seemed to hear a clear cry and saw an incomparably gorgeous pure white divine bird flying into the sky.
"People on this ship drew pictures on the reactor with blood?"
After coming to his senses, Shengli's eyes were full of disbelief.
Although even in modern society, people who often stay on ships are generally more superstitious than other people, but - drawing on the reactor with blood?
Are you consecrating a nuclear reactor here?
Look at this pattern, it was obviously drawn recently, and Shengli finds it strange no matter how he thinks about it.
"Look elsewhere—"
Bang!
As he turned to leave, Seungri accidentally kicked the special wrench that was placed casually in the corner.
She couldn't help but curl her lips. Has the quality of the Western Navy in this era become so low that even maintenance tools are thrown around casually?
This was absolutely unimaginable in the White Eagle Navy, which was known for its krypton gold damage control.
On the other side, Shokaku, who had just arrived at the reactor with Kato Megumi, looked at the wrench that fell for no reason and fell into deep thought.
"No, there's someone! There's someone invisible!"
"Where?" Kato Megumi looked around, but did not notice the existence of a third person other than herself and Shokaku.
"I can't see. Is it Mr. Ghost?" Kato Megumi put her hands to her mouth and made a trumpet shape. "Mr. Ghost? Are you there? Are you not? Could it be Miss Ghost?"
"Okay, Hui-chan, no one else can hear our voices." Shokaku stopped Kato Hui's seemingly ridiculous behavior, thought for a moment, and walked forward.
Standing next to the fallen wrench, Shokaku narrowed his eyes and took out his flute.
The flute was just like her and Kato Megumi, translucent, invisible to everyone but her.
As a flute sounded that only Shokaku and Kato Megumi could hear, the wrench on the ground glowed and floated up.
Victory, who had just left not far away, blinked and looked back.
I saw a wrench floating in the air.
"???????"
Shokaku took a step back, put down his flute, and looked around carefully.
Shengli was stunned. She stammered as she connected the call—
"Point, point, point, point, point, Commander! There's a ghost on the USS Washington!!!!!"
what?
"Wrench! Wrench! I see a wrench floating!"
"Commander! Can I open fire? I request to remove the weapon restrictions!"
Calm down, where are you now?
"In the reactor compartment!"
So you want to put airplanes next to a nuclear reactor!?
"But this nuclear reactor is haunted!"
What the hell is going on next to a nuclear reactor?
...What kind of ghost can be more powerful than you?
Victory: “Emmmm…”
The blonde girl pursed her lips. Although her heart was pounding, she thought about it carefully and felt that what Jiang Lianqiu said was true.
What ghost can be more powerful than her?
Thinking of this, Shengli mustered up a little courage. With a wave of his hand, a scepter with a cross and a golden bell appeared in his hand.
Raising her hand horizontally, the girl used the scepter to hit the wrench in the air.
Shokaku watched helplessly as the wrench suddenly flew towards him, passed through his translucent body, and flew backwards as if there was no gravity in the cabin.
With a clang, the wrench hit the wall and fell back to the ground.
"As expected, there is a ghost." Kato Megumi clapped her hands lightly, "I wonder if the ghost can see us?"
"It would be even better if you could help us get off this ship."
"Let's not talk about this for now, Hui-chan, look!" Shokaku suddenly called Kato Hui and pointed at a corner of the reactor. "The Tianhe Princess's emblem that you carved on it with blood was wiped off by someone - how is it possible! Exit?"
Chapter 237: Victory: I see! The wrench has become a spirit!
According to the secret book of Bungo Fudoki, Tenzuruhime-no-Mikoto is actually the incarnation of the military god of the Tianjin God lineage.
He is in charge of the peace of the sea and the art of steelmaking.
Its divine emblem, the Thousand-winged Reverse Swastika and the crane-shaped emblem, were once regarded by many Japanese daimyo during the Warring States Period as mysterious symbols that could bless them with prosperity in military affairs.
This tradition has always existed, so the aircraft carrier that was built with great anticipation that year was named Shokaku, which corresponds to the legendary Tenzuru-hime.
Even now, most people who go out to sea frequently are superstitious, let alone in the past?
During World War II, every time the old Japanese Navy built a ship, it would invite people related to Shintoism to hold various secret ceremonies. From the construction to the launching to the final service of the Shokaku, it was endowed with the concept of Akasaka-hime everywhere.
——After all, if we can’t compete with the industrial Cthulhu of the past in terms of hard industrial strength, can’t we only seek psychological comfort from supernatural sources?
Although they still suffered a crushing defeat in the end.
In short, because of these reasons, Shokaku and Tenkakuhime-no-Mikoto are highly bound together.
Among the legends related to Tenzuru-hime-no-mikoto, the most famous one is the Bunroku Campaign.
The Bunroku Campaign is Japan's record of this event, while in Korea, this series of wars is called the Imjin War.
At Southeast University, it has a more famous name - Wanli Korean War!
Legend has it that during the war, a priest who was worshipping Tianhe Jiming came to the peninsula with the army and accidentally found a crane bone flute sealed by the Goryeo Dynasty.
——This is also the prototype of the flute that Shokaku, the ship girl, always carries with her in Azure World.
It was a flute made from the wing bones of a servant of Tianheji, and it possessed incredible power.
The above records are quite mysterious. Nowadays, people only regard the story of the crane bone flute as completely mysterious nonsense and regard it as a myth.
But the history books clearly state that from then on, the priest and his descendants became the worshippers of Tianheji from generation to generation.
The priest's name was Kato Kiyomasa.
According to "Kiyomasa Kiyomasa", a samurai memoir from the early Edo period in Japan, Kato Kiyomasa presided over the construction of Kumamoto Castle in his early years. After that, he followed Oda Nobunaga as an onmyoji. After Oda Nobunaga's defeat, he defected to Toyotomi Hideyoshi and finally served under the Tokugawa family. In his later years, he presided over the construction of the Yatsushiro Shrine to enshrine Tenzuruhime.
But as time passed, the Kato family eventually declined.
Especially around eighty years ago, the power passed down from generation to generation by the family bloodline completely dissipated for unknown reasons.
Jiang Lianqiu: Guess?
From then on, Kato's family became indistinguishable from the crowd and were no different from others.
Even Kato Megumi's parents did not think that the surname Kato, as they were from an ordinary family, could have any connection with the historical Kato Kiyomasa.
The two of them even scoffed at the so-called secret rituals passed down from generation to generation collected by their father (Kato Megumi's grandfather).
Only Kato Megumi, because she was always ignored and had a quiet and peaceful nature, read a lot of books at home to kill time, and naturally she also read the so-called book of etiquette.
No one knew - not even Kato Megumi's parents knew, but not long ago, Kato Megumi accidentally traced the crane-shaped emblem in a book with her fingertips, and then a sister who called herself Xianghe appeared by her side.
At first, she mistakenly thought that she had seen the legendary Tianhe Jiming, the great god.
……Dividing line……
"Some of it was really wiped off? Was it done by Mr. Ghost?" Kato Megumi tilted her head, with confusion in her eyes.
"But, I can't paint it back on in my current state."
Kato Megumi looked at Shokaku apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Sister Shoukaku, if the emblem is erased, will you be unable to control this ship?"
"No, Hui-chan, this might be a good thing!" Shokaku's eyes lit up slightly, "We were trapped on the ship after you helped draw the crest of Tenzuru-hime-no-Mikoto."
"Now, maybe we can leave!"
"Is... that so?" Kato Megumi's expression also became brighter.
Ever since she, with Shokaku's help, sneaked into the base during an open house to help her sister control a ship and rescue her sister, and painted a crane emblem on the aircraft carrier, she and Shokaku were trapped and died on the USS Washington for unknown reasons, and her own body was transformed into this ghostly state.
Now that she heard that she could leave the USS Washington, Kato Megumi couldn't wait to go home.
She never runs around again!
"Mr. Ghost is really helping us, isn't he?" A grateful Kato Megumi looked at the cabin where "there was no one else" besides Shokaku and bowed to the people around her. "Thank you, kind Mr. Ghost."
At this time, Shengli also came to the wrench that fell on the ground. She squatted down, looked at the ordinary wrench, and finally reached out her hand to pick it up curiously.
So, this time it was Shokaku and Kato Megumi's turn to look at the "strangely floating wrench".
"Mr. Ghost, are you saying hello to us?" Kato Megumi blinked and tried to wave her little hand at Wrench, "Hello?"
Unable to hear or see the two people's victory, she had a bitter face. She was no longer as frightened as before. She stood up with the wrench and looked around. Finally, she made up her mind and cancelled the phase invisibility.
——At the same time, his own ship suit was also manifested.
Shokaku: “——!!!!!!!!!”
Kato Megumi: "Ah, it's Miss Ghost."
“A royal victory—!?”
Compared to Kato Megumi's slight surprise, Shokaku was completely stunned on the spot.
After her extreme shock, she was filled with extreme ecstasy.
Uncontrollable joy washed over Shokaku, causing her to subconsciously rush towards victory.
As expected, the translucent Shokaku passed through Seungri's body.
"Alas--!!!"
Victory shuddered.
"This nuclear reactor also has a cooling effect!?"
After missing the target, Shokaku was stunned for a moment, then he woke up after noticing the flute in his hand: "Yes! There is still this!"
Holding the flute horizontally to her lips, Shokaku gently played music that only she and Kato Megumi could hear.
Then - victory, watching the wrench flying in his hand, floating in the air, flying out a strange arc.
Shengli watched the flying wrench in silence, then clenched his fist and slammed it into his palm:
"I see! The wrench has become a spirit!"
Shokaku blew away the tune immediately, and Kato Megumi silently opened her mouth wide.
