Elder brother's garrison

Page 1257

Xiao Bai looked again in the direction of Bai Jia Hei.

In the distance, Bai Jiahei, who had collapsed by the lake, was rolling around in an open space, clutching his head. Wisps of black energy, resembling deep-sea energy, swirled around Bai Jiahei's body.

Bai Jiahei is a spiritual entity that Xiaobai and the Deep Sea Will found in the Deep Sea Realm in the second chapter. In terms of form, Bai Jiahei is similar to the Deep Sea Will. However, compared to the Deep Sea Will, Bai Jiahei is not only weaker, but also has no memories of her past. After entering Xiaobai's spiritual world, the Deep Sea Will was too lazy to care about Bai Jiahei and simply threw her onto the grassland, letting her fend for herself and experience the game world.

Because I've been quite busy lately, I haven't been paying attention to Baijiahei for a while.

Just then, as Xiaobai was observing Baijiahei, he noticed a large pile of shiny game equipment and monster materials next to Baijiahei. There was even a small tent not far from the open space, with a golden-brown roast chicken sizzling and dripping oil over a bright red campfire in front of it.

If Xiaobai's deduction is correct.

It's estimated that Bai Jiahei had just returned from an adventure and was preparing to roast a chicken for himself in front of this tent. However, before he could even take a bite, he was enveloped by deep-sea energy and suddenly fell to the ground, rolling and writhing around.

"Deep Sea Will, didn't you... probe Bai Jiahei's memories once before? Didn't you say that Bai Jiahei's memory was empty at that time?" Xiao Bai asked the Deep Sea Will.

“Hmm.” The Will of the Deep Sea did not deny it. She stared intently at the white and black in the distance and said, “If it is just a hidden or sealed memory, even if the person involved cannot recall it, I can still find it by searching my mental energy.”

"So, what's the situation with 'white plus black'..."

“She’s different.” The Deep Sea Will shook its head, its brows furrowing slightly. “Her memories haven’t been sealed or hidden—to put it another way, she’s like a blank sheet of paper, with the deep-sea energy wrapped around her writing new data on it.”

"Huh?" Xiao Bai was a little confused by what the Deep Sea Will said. "Uh, does that mean the Deep Sea Energy is injecting memories into Bai Jiahei's body?"

"...Your comprehension is much better than before." The Deep Sea Will was drawn to Xiaobai's reply, and she turned her head slightly to look at Xiaobai.

“…Thank you.” Xiaobai pursed her lips, but her eyes showed some confusion. “But…why would deep-sea energy react to Baijiahei?”

“I don’t know.” The Will of the Deep Sea shook its head. “After all, this is the first time you’ve ingested deep-sea energy into your body.”

"Uh...didn't it happen once before?"

"That time with Ryujo, before the deep-sea energy could even enter your body, the laser cannons on your land-based ship had already absorbed all the deep-sea energy that came into contact with you."

"Uh... I see." Xiaobai scratched his head.

“Deep-sea energy is essentially deep-sea energy of a certain purity. In theory, it is no different from ordinary deep-sea energy and should not have any special reaction with Bai Jiahei,” the Deep Sea Will said. “However… the deep-sea energy that you absorbed into your body seems to have existed on the sea surface for a very long time. Perhaps they had close interactions with Bai Jiahei in the past, and only after touching Bai Jiahei’s spiritual body again did they have some special reaction with her.”

"I've had dealings with Bai Jiahei..." Xiao Bai murmured the words of the Deep Sea Will, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Bai Jiahei has always been shrouded in mystery.

Xiao Bai still has a photo of herself as a human, dressed in black and white, taken when she was a bridesmaid at her brother's wedding.

The fact that such a person had such close ties with Deep Sea Energy... made Xiaobai unable to help but start imagining some scenarios.

"These deep-sea energy sources are all from the territory of Super Yamato, right?" Xiaobai muttered to herself, frowning for a moment, before asking curiously, "Could it be... that Bai Jiahei has some special relationship with Super Yamato? Like... that she is actually the real Super Yamato or something?"

"..." After hearing Xiaobai's words, the Deep Sea Will turned its head and glanced at Xiaobai, "...Good idea."

"It's not that good..."

"Then explain to me how Bai Jiahei, who has always been inside your body, came to this deep-sea territory and summoned the soul of a deep-sea destroyer to talk to her?"

"Uh."

"If the real Super Yamato is Bai Jiahei, where did she get her existing body and ship equipment to use on the Super Yamato outside? And Bai Jiahei has existed in human society for at least twenty years, including the human era. Since the Super Yamato has existed for so long, why..."

"I...I was wrong...I was just talking nonsense..." With each sentence from the Deep Sea Will, Xiaobai lowered her head, waving her hands awkwardly at the Deep Sea Will, quickly indicating that she had only mentioned it casually, "Baijiahei isn't...isn't Super Yamato, okay..."

"..." A hint of helplessness appeared in the gaze of the Deep Sea Will as she looked at Xiaobai. She sighed softly and explained to Xiaobai, "After the Deep Sea Territory is formed, it will summon the soul of the corresponding Deep Sea Dean from the depths of the sea, depending on its size and quality. Even the real Super Yamato can only appear at most a week ago, which does not match the time of day and night."

“Oh… I understand.” Xiaobai nodded quickly. “If that’s the case… then Super Yamato can only be considered the second owner of these deep-sea energy sources, right? The first owner of these deep-sea energy sources… while it may not necessarily be Bai Jiahei, it’s at least related to her.”

“That should be it.” The Will of the Deep Sea nodded.

"So what do you think the specific relationship is between the Deep Sea Will and the Deep Sea Will?" Xiaobai asked, moving closer to the Deep Sea Will.

"I don't know. The truth will come out once she's done her fuss," Deep Sea Will said calmly, glancing at White and Black in the distance.

Xiao Bai followed the gaze of the Deep Sea Will and looked at Bai Jiahei.

Watching Bai Jiahei roll around on the ground like a caterpillar, Xiao Bai's expression became somewhat worried.

“Um… although you said before that Bai Jiahei is not in any danger… but looking at her like this… it doesn’t seem like she’s alright…” Xiaobai asked the Deep Sea Will tentatively.

"Are you concerned about her?"

"She at least knows my brother..."

“…It will definitely hurt.” The Will of the Deep Sea paused for a moment after saying this, “The pain… will probably be similar to when you first activated the Admiral Network.”

"...It doesn't seem to hurt that much."

"She's the one who's so embarrassing."

"..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek.

That's when.

Just as Xiaobai finished chatting with the Will of the Deep Sea, Bai Jiahei's body, which had been rolling and twisting from side to side on the open ground by the lake in the distance, finally stopped. Bai Jiahei rolled her eyes, twisted her head, and crashed into the iron-shell helmet next to her with a thud, and then fainted. The deep-sea energy surging around her body also dissipated.

"Alright." Seeing this, the Will of the Deep Sea raised its hand and snapped its fingers crisply.

As the snap of the Deep Sea's will resounded.

Xiao Bai felt the space around him twist.

The next second, Xiaobai's feet lost their footing, and the surrounding scenery changed from the boulder to a vast grassland and a shimmering lake.

Xiao Bai looked around and saw the Deep Sea Will crouch down to check on Bai Jia Hei, who was lying silently on the ground. Only then did Xiao Bai realize that he had been instantly teleported from the boulder to Bai Jia Hei's side by the Deep Sea Will.

"Deep Sea Will, do you see anything?" Little White also squatted down next to Deep Sea Will.

The Will of the Deep Sea supported the unconscious Bai Jiahei's head, placing one hand on Bai Jiahei's forehead. A flash of light appeared, and several crystal-clear orbs were pulled out of Bai Jiahei's head one after another by the Will of the Deep Sea.

This seems to be to avoid misunderstandings for beginners.

After making this series of actions, the Deep Sea Will looked at Little White and spoke to him.

"These are copies of her memories that I just safely replicated."

Deep Sea Will emphasized the words "replication" and "security".

"Ah... I know." Xiaobai nodded. "So, these are the memories that Bai Jiahei has regained?"

"To be precise, not entirely. It includes her memories from that mysterious sea area, as well as many of her experiences in the spiritual world," the Will of the Deep Sea replied. "As for what memories she has recovered, we'll have to find out here."

After the Deep Sea Will finished speaking, it gently patted the crystal balls that it had pulled out of Bai Jiahei's head, and the crystal balls floated around the Deep Sea Will.

The will of the deep sea released Bai Jiahei's head, and Bai Jiahei fell face down to the ground with a thud.

Xiao Bai quickly helped Bai Jiahei up from the ground. Relying on his spiritual world authority, he created a large pillow in the void to place under Bai Jiahei's head. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and slowly stand up.

Xiao Bai looked at the will of the deep sea.

"How is the Deep Sea Will doing?"

Chapter 1604 Little White Boss

Xiao Bai doesn't like this kind of behavior of casually peeping into other people's memories. She had mentioned to the Deep Sea Will before that, unless there are special circumstances, one should try not to casually pry into other people's memories.

But since it involves both day and night, even though Xiaobai is somewhat resistant to this kind of thing, she has no choice but to agree with the behavior of the Deep Sea Will and make her take some special measures.

The crystal balls floating around the Deep Sea Will spun and danced, allowing the Deep Sea Will to reach out its fingers and poke and poke inside the crystal balls.

Standing beside the Will of the Deep Sea, Xiao Bai watched as the Will of the Deep Sea poked at the crystal ball, and saw various images reflected on the crystal ball.

Among them are scenes of Bai Jiahei dressed in glittering gold equipment, galloping across the grassland with two greatswords, scenes of Bai Jiahei squatting by the lake roasting chicken, fish, and steak, drooling as he sprinkles cumin, and many more scenes of everything seemingly frozen in time on a vast, dark sea.

Xiao Bai quickly understood that these images were memories of both day and night, most of which were memories of her living alone in the mysterious sea, and a small part were memories of letting herself go in her own mental world.

In addition, Xiaobai also saw fleeting, blurry scenes on the crystal ball that the Deep Sea Will was poking at.

These fleeting images were very blurry, as if seen through frosted glass. One could only vaguely make out that it seemed to be on a bright sea, with three figures dressed in neat white clothes swaying and staggering. Judging from their figures, they appeared to be one man and two women...

Xiao Bai was thinking about it.

The Deep Sea Will had stopped fiddling with the crystal ball. She lowered her hand, and the image reflected on the crystal ball disappeared, continuing to float and spin around the Deep Sea Will.

"How is the Deep Sea Will?" Xiaobai asked the Deep Sea Will.

"...These memories, stimulated by deep-sea energy, are all very blurry." The Deep Sea Will shook its head, a troubled look crossing its brow. "Memory is a delicate mental energy. It's likely that various errors inevitably occurred when the deep-sea energy was transcribed into her mind, resulting in the memories being very blurry when viewed as images."

"Can't see it clearly through images?" Xiaobai asked curiously. "What do you mean?"

"...It means...these are all scattered and fragmented memories." The Will of the Deep Sea looked at the floating crystal ball in front of him and said slowly, "Even I can't analyze them simply."

"Ah..." Xiaobai blinked. She recalled the blurry figure that had just floated on the memory crystal ball of Baijiahei. After thinking for a while, she looked up at the Will of the Deep Sea and said, "That... Will of the Deep Sea."

"Ok?"

"Just now, when you were poking the crystal ball, I saw some images on it... possibly related to Bai Jiahei's new memories."

"is it?"

"Hmm...it's blurry, but it seems to be a scene of one man and two women." Xiaobai thought for a moment and said to the Will of the Deep Sea, "Um...Will of the Deep Sea, the male figure in that scene...could it be my brother?"

"..." The will of the deep sea silently looked at Xiaobai and thought for a while, "Since your brother knows Baijiahei, it is not surprising that he appears in Baijiahei's memory."

"Hmm... if that male figure is my brother... then the other female figure must be the president, right? After all, the president said that Bai Jiahei used to like playing with her and my brother when he was alive." Xiaobai said to the Deep Sea Will.

The Will of the Deep Sea listened attentively to Xiao Bai's words. Upon hearing this, it seemed to be deep in thought and raised its head to ask Xiao Bai a question.

"...So what do you think this memory is about?"

“…I don’t know.” Xiaobai shook her head decisively.

"I don't know either, just guess."

"...Uh." Xiaobai scratched his head. "Well...so, since it's a scene of Bai Jiahei with my brother and the president, it's most likely that she's playing with my brother and the president..."

“…Daily memories, huh?” the Deep Sea Will murmured, closed its eyes and thought for a while, finally letting out a helpless sigh, “…That’s normal.”

"The will of the deep sea?"

“I thought she would recall some key memories,” the Deep Sea Will said to Little White. “But since she only recalls everyday memories… it’s not surprising. After all, I don’t think you or I have the luck to accurately recall key plot points over at least twenty years.”

"……"noob.

The Will of the Deep Sea reached out and pinched the bridge of its nose, a faint look of fatigue appearing in its usually calm eyes.

"...As long as it's not a memory that's harmful to you."

The Will of the Deep Sea murmured softly in a very faint voice.

"Huh? The Will of the Deep Sea?" Little White thought the Will of the Deep Sea's voice was barely audible. She looked at the Will of the Deep Sea curiously, "What did you just say?"

"nothing."

"Um……"

Just as Xiaobai was talking to the will of the deep sea, Bai Jiahei, who was lying on the ground, twitched her eyebrows and her breathing became slightly erratic, as if she was about to wake up from her coma.

The Will of the Deep Sea glanced at the white and black figures on the ground, silently raised her hand, and lifted the crystal balls surrounding her. Then, with a light leap, she disappeared from Xiao Bai's side, along with the crystal balls.

The next second, Bai Jiahei, clutching his pillow, sat up from the open ground, feeling dizzy.

"Ugh... um... eh?" Bai Jiahei, waking up, looked around groggily. She touched her forehead, which had hit her helmet earlier, with a slight pain. Her confused expression suddenly changed when she saw Xiaobai. "...Uh... is it Boss Xiaobai?"

"Good evening, Baijiahei."

Xiao Bai greeted Bai Jia Hei with a smile.

"Oh...oh oh! Boss Xiaobai! I haven't seen you in so long!" Bai Jiahei's eyes lit up as she looked at Xiaobai. She jumped up from the ground and hugged Xiaobai's leg, her face full of surprise. "Boss! It's daytime now! Did you come to see me?!"

"daytime……"

Xiao Bai looked around at the bright sunshine and, not knowing what to say, nodded to Bai Jia Hei.

From a real-world perspective, it's already late at night, but in Xiaobai's mental world, there is no night, so it seems like it's daytime too.

"I guess I came to see you... well... I guess." Xiaobai nodded and said to Baijiahei, "I was passing by here before and saw you lying on the ground looking like you weren't feeling well, so I came to check on you... Did you notice anything different?"

"Hmm? Not feeling well?" Bai Jiahei was asked by Xiaobai and immediately started to think hard. After a while, he seemed to remember something and suddenly realized, "Ah! That's right! I was just eating roast chicken when I suddenly felt like I was attacked by some kind of shadow monster!"

“Shadow type…” Xiao Bai recalled the deep-sea energy that had previously wrapped around Bai Jiahei.

Could it be that Bai Jiahei is treating those deep-sea energy sources like monsters in a spiritual world that people can defeat to obtain experience and equipment?

Looking at Bai Jiahei's regretful expression, as if he had just crashed and burned, Xiao Bai sighed helplessly.

Ok.

It seems that what the Deep Sea Will said is true. Although Bai Jiahei recovered some fragmented memories due to the stimulation of Deep Sea Energy, it has no particular impact or change on her now.

"Boss Xiaobai, you've come at the perfect time!" While Xiaobai was thinking, Bai Jiahei ran to the tent, grabbed the whole roasted chicken that was scorching over the campfire, ran to Xiaobai, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to him, "Here! Eat chicken!"

"...Thank you, Baijiahei."
