Elder brother's garrison

"……"noob.

The story of why Xiaobai was playing the cat-ear touching game with Fletcher in her office dates back to a few minutes earlier.

Just now, Xiaobai revealed his true colors.

Xiaobai revealed his identity as the world's number one admiral to Fletcher.

Generally speaking, the governor-general is a higher position than the admiral. Regardless of the admiral's ranking, he must always be lower than the governor-general.

However, the Naval Base for Beginners and the Pacific Governor's Office are special cases.

These two entities have always been closely allied, both ten years ago and now. The Pacific Governor-General has always been incredibly accommodating to newbie naval commanders, providing impeccable service. Therefore, whenever a newbie naval commander like Xiaobai visits the Governor-General's office, regardless of the time, place, or reason, all the hundreds of ship girls there must treat him with the utmost courtesy, ensuring he is thoroughly satisfied.

After learning Xiaobai's identity, Fletcher's attitude towards Xiaobai instantly underwent a complete 90-degree reversal. She first served Xiaobai tea and water with great enthusiasm, and then meticulously massaged Xiaobai's shoulders and back. She then expressed her deepest apologies for her previous neglect of Xiaobai and sincerely hoped that Xiaobai would punish her for her neglect.

Xiaobai didn't want to punish Fletcher.

Besides, Fletcher was just following the rules. She didn't make things difficult for him, nor did she do anything wrong. If there was anything she didn't do well, it was simply that she didn't recognize Xiaobai in time.

Just as Xiaobai was about to tell Fletcher about this idea, she suddenly noticed the uneasy expression on Fletcher's face, as well as the two lifelike cat ears on her pajamas. So Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, thought it over and over again, and finally told Fletcher about her punishment.

Little White said to Fletcher, "If you really feel uneasy without being punished, then let me touch your cat ears, and that will be the end of it."

Fletcher offered no resistance to the punishment and obediently handed over his two cat ears.

Xiao Bai finally got to experience being a player.

However, Xiaobai never expected that these two cat ears would be so sensitive. Xiaobai just casually pinched them, and before he could even exert any force, Fletcher collapsed.

"I'm sorry, if I had known these two ears were so special, I wouldn't have asked to touch them," Xiaobai said to Fletcher with a hint of apology.

"No, it's alright. I'm very happy that Admiral Lu Lin can forgive me just by touching my ear!" Fletcher said with a smile to Xiaobai. The blush on her face had not yet faded, and her expression was innocent and refreshing.

This increased Xiaobai's sense of guilt.

Xiao Bai carefully helped Fletcher up from the ground and carried the limp girl back to the chair at the desk.

"Admiral Lu Lin, Admiral Lu Lin!" A series of light footsteps sounded, and the blonde destroyer in a blue and white sailor uniform ran in from outside the study again. She held a shiny key in her hand and respectfully presented it with both hands. "Admiral Lu Lin, this is the key to the room where the target is! I have brought it for you!"

"Thank you so much, Z31, you've been a great help."

"It's nothing, just a small favor!" Z31's face was flushed, seemingly happy after receiving Xiaobai's praise. After saying this, she eagerly leaned her head, which was styled in pigtails, closer.

Xiaobai stared at Z31's head for a while, then reached out and touched Z31's head.

"Hehehe..." Feeling Xiaobai's caresses, Z31's cute face showed a satisfied smile. "I really didn't expect to meet Admiral Lu Lin here."

“Yes, I was surprised too.” Xiaobai withdrew her hand and said to Z31 with emotion, “I was curious before which naval base had such great power and could be granted permission to secretly dig tunnels in the city’s residential area. Now I finally understand. It turns out you are not a naval base at all, but a governor’s office.”

“The Governor’s Office does have that much power. Speaking of this matter, after obtaining information about the target, because this matter concerns the Deep Sea Dean’s influence in human society, in order to avoid any complications, the Admiral asked us to protect him first and make a decision after the storm has passed.” Z31 explained to Xiaobai with a smile, “We have been protecting him for two whole months.”

"You guys have really had a hard time." Xiaobai sighed. "Mu Yu has once again dumped this thankless task on you."

"It's alright, the Admiral has his own things to do." Z31 touched her budding chest and said to Xiaobai, "By the way, speaking of which, Admiral Lu Lin, shouldn't you be in Yuncheng participating in the Idol Project right now? What are you doing here?"

"Well... I'll rest for a few days and take advantage of that time to try my luck here and see if I can find Dean Shenhai," Xiaobai replied.

"Oh, I see! Admiral Lu Lin, you're so capable, you'll definitely find it!" Z31 nodded quickly to Xiaobai upon hearing this. "If you encounter any problems that require our help, feel free to come here and find us! I'll inform the ship girls below to keep an eye out for you!"

"Thank you." Xiaobai patted Z31 on the shoulder and smiled at her. "If you have the chance in the future, you can come to the newbie naval base to play."

“Okay!” z31 responded, excitedly standing on tiptoe and raising one hand high.

"It's a date then." Xiaobai raised his hand and patted Z31's head.

"Yes! I'll definitely go!" Z31 shook its head and answered Xiaobai innocently.

……

Within Chapter 2330.

"Snapped!"

While working wrapped in a blanket, Mu Yu was halfway through writing a document when she suddenly shuddered, dropping her pen to the ground. Her face instantly turned pale and then blue.

"Hiss... My back is getting chilly again. Why is the weather getting colder in Chapter 8? Ringo, do you have any extra blankets? I can wrap myself in two."

"Ah."

"Looks like I'll need some hot fish soup tonight to warm myself up..."

"Ah."

……

After finding out the location of the protector's room from Z31 and Fletcher, Shiro declined the two destroyers' request to accompany her and left the study with her two ship girls.

The custodian's room is on the top floor of the attic.

There was only one room in the corridor on the top floor of the attic. A dozen or so ship girls in black patrolled outside the corridor. These ship girls seemed to have been given a special mission. When they saw Xiaobai and the other two coming up from downstairs, they did not ignore them like the ship girls in black downstairs. Instead, they all came up.

Xiaobai looked up at the ship girls and took off her mask.

Then, upon seeing Xiaobai's face, the black-clad ship girls all widened their eyes and froze in astonishment.

A few seconds later, the black-clad ship girls retreated and stood neatly on both sides of the corridor, clearing the doorway at the end of the corridor.

"The Admiral's face is just too useful," York joked from the side. "At this rate, I reckon if we stay in human society and the Admiral's circle for another two years, we won't have to pay for meals when we go out."

“I think it’s not just about not having to pay for meals…” Baltimore said quietly.

Chapter 2331 Protector

Xiaobai narrowed her eyes helplessly as she listened to the two ship girls behind her talking as if no one else was around.

After nodding to the black-clad ship girls on both sides, Xiaobai took out a shiny room key and walked to the door.

"Excuse me, is this the room of the person your governor's mansion is protecting this time?" Before opening the door, Xiaobai asked the black-clad ship girl next to her.

“Yes, Admiral Lu Lin.” The black-clad ship girl closest to Xiaobai quickly replied. She hesitated for a moment, then added, “Um, Admiral Lu Lin…”

"Ok?"

"Do you need us to accompany them? The people inside have been locked up for two months and might do something inappropriate."

"It's alright, you guys just stay outside." Xiaobai smiled.

Xiaobai unlocked the door with the key and then gently pushed the door open.

The door opens.

The room on the top floor of the attic is a suite, with some structures such as a bathroom, corridor, living room and bedroom. Xiaobai stood at the door and looked inside. He could only see neatly tied garbage bags scattered in the bare corridor, and a faint smell of rotting food filled the air.

"In the past two months, have you not allowed the protector to step out of this room even once?" Xiaobai asked the black-clad ship girl, leaning against the door frame.

"Ah."

"This could be considered imprisonment..."

“It’s protective house arrest,” the black-clad ship girl said seriously. “Although computers, mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic communication devices have been confiscated, there is still a TV, air conditioning, stereo, and fitness equipment in the room. We have done our best to create a comfortable environment for the person we are protecting.”

"What is the name of the protector?"

"Chen Rui, male, 34 years old."

"Thank you." Xiaobai smiled at the black-clad ship girl, then went into the room.

York and Baltimore followed behind Little White.

After Xiaobai and his two companions entered the room, they closed the door behind them.

Inside the attic suite, the room was quiet, as if no one had ever lived there. The three of them entered the living room, where various pieces of clothing, batteries, and plastic were scattered across the coffee table.

Baltimore curiously searched the lobby but didn't see anyone.

"Huh? That's strange, where's the protector?" Baltimore wondered.

"Could they have run away?" York asked.

"It shouldn't be that bad, there are so many ship girls guarding this place." Baltimore walked thoughtfully to the TV in the living room, raised her hand and touched the TV casing. "Hmm... it's still warm. Someone must have been watching TV in this room not long ago, but I wonder where they went."

"Hmm... watching TV." York put one hand on his hip, looked around on the floor, then bent down, picked up a remote control, and pressed a button on the TV.

The television turned on.

"Welcome to the latest episode of Happy Base! Today we have the long-awaited Miss Lu Ming here—"

The sound from the television program immediately filled the entire living room.

Is it a coincidence or an inevitability? It just so happens that it was the recording of the episode of "Happy Base" that Xiaobai participated in.

Xiao Bai's attention was drawn to the television program.

Just now.

"Aa ...

Just as Xiaobai and the other two were drawn to the television in the living room, a shrill voice rang out from the kitchen.

A figure suddenly leaped out of the kitchen, brandishing a cleaver and screaming like a pig being slaughtered as it charged toward Xiaobai, who was closest to the kitchen.

Xiao Bai turned her head and looked at the figure coming towards her.

Appearing before Xiaobai was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. He was portly and imposing, and the kitchen knife in his hand kept flashing cold light, as if he was about to stab Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai stared wide-eyed as the cleaver in the middle-aged man's hand drew closer and closer to him. He neither dodged nor avoided it, and his expression remained completely unchanged.

Boom! !

Just as the cleaver was about to touch Xiaobai, York darted out from behind Xiaobai like the wind, followed by a magnificent spinning knight kick, sending the man and the cleaver flying back into the kitchen.

Clang clang clang clang clang—

The sound of pots and pans shattering came from the kitchen.

"Holy crap! What was that? Where did it come from?!" York landed, staring in shock at the man who had fallen back into the kitchen.

"Uh... that should be the protector, right?" Little White blinked and looked at York. "York, you didn't use too much force just now, did you?"

"Ah... I forgot." York was immediately embarrassed. "I saw him charge at you, Admiral, with his sword, and I instinctively kicked him away. I don't even remember if I used any force."

"……"noob.

The three of them quickly ran to the edge of the kitchen and looked inside.

In the messy kitchen, there was a drag mark. At the end of the mark, a man was lying in an exaggerated position in the middle of the broken pots and pans. His head was tilted to the side, and he seemed to have lost consciousness, but he was still breathing.

"Oh! He's still alive! I didn't exert myself!" York saw the man, patted his chest, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

If York hadn't used his full strength, the man would have only been knocked unconscious; if York had used his full strength, the man would probably be meeting the King of Hell by now.

"It seems those black-clad ship girls outside were right. The two months he was locked in the room did indeed change this man's mindset somewhat," Xiaobai commented softly, looking at the man lying on the ground.

"Can it really turn out like this in just two months?"

"Probably if there's no internet."

"Admiral, does this count as legitimate self-defense?" York asked Xiaobai cautiously.

"Hmm... I guess so." Xiaobai smiled at York.

Just then, a clattering sound came from the kitchen. The man lying in the rubble stirred and opened his dazed eyes.

The man caught his breath and tried to move his body, but after failing to do so, he looked up at the three people, Xiaobai and his companion, outside the kitchen.

The man's emotions suddenly surged.

"Let me out! Let me out!" the man screamed at Xiaobai. "Who are you?! What do you want? I've told you everything I can! Why won't you let me go?! What do you want?! How long are you going to keep me locked up?! Give me my freedom! Give me my freedom!!! You are demons, you are a bunch of demons!!!"

The man shouted at Xiaobai and the other two, picking up the forks and shards beside him and throwing them at Xiaobai. His emotions became more and more agitated, eventually turning into cursing, swearing, and a series of obscene words.

Chapter 2332 Mad as a Dog

York stood in front of Little White and caught every single flying gadget the man threw at him.

The man in the kitchen threw away all the clutter he could reach. He was panting heavily, and his hysterical cursing gradually subsided.

"Admiral, has this guy gone mad?" York asked Little White with a helpless expression, holding a full basket of brick fragments and cutlery. "He doesn't seem very willing to communicate with us peacefully."

Splash splash—Chun

York tossed the miscellaneous items in his arms aside, which quickly formed a small hill at the feet of the three of them.

"This is going to be difficult."

"It seems that this human named Chen Rui has a lot of complaints about being locked in the room."

Baltimore and York were discussing it in hushed tones.
