"Yes, the admiral and the ship girls can also sense the admiral's network."

"That's because you're too weak." The Will of the Deep Sea said mercilessly, "Your mental strength is countless times greater than that of ordinary people. If you knew how to use it even a little bit, those people wouldn't even have the chance to notice it."

"Ah..." Xiaobai lowered his head awkwardly.

"Found it." Just as Xiaobai was feeling embarrassed, the Will of the Deep Sea gently said to Xiaobai.

In the real world, "Little White" quickly withdrew her scattered spiritual energy. Touching the shadows, she ran in one direction like a gust of wind and soon arrived in front of a courtyard.

"The aura of the ship girl you're looking for is right here," the Deep Sea Will said to Xiaobai in the spiritual world.

"Oh……"

"Shall we dive in?" The Will of the Deep Sea raised an eyebrow and asked Little White.

"sneak into?"

"Don't worry, with my strength, no one can detect my infiltration." The Will of the Deep Sea raised an eyebrow, an expression of unparalleled confidence appearing on her face.

"...Well, normally I wouldn't be able to find a reason to go in, so I'll have to trouble the Deep Sea Will." Xiaobai naturally had unconditional trust in the Deep Sea Will's strength.

In the real world, Little White, controlled by the will of the deep sea, held her breath. She silently crept up the wall, tiptoed onto it, and then leaped over it, landing silently.

After landing, "Little White" looked at the houses inside the walled compound, some of which still had lights on, and couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a smile of success. She reached out and brushed her long hair behind her.

A faint warmth emanated from behind Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai frowned, as if she had noticed something, and turned her head to look behind her.

Behind Xiaobai, on the side closest to the wall, a ship girl was squatting by a portable grill, grilling a salted fish, staring blankly at Xiaobai.

It looks like this is a ship girl preparing for a late-night snack. The aroma of grilled salted fish, like a salty sea breeze, wafts out from the grill in gusts.

The ship girl in front of the oven stared blankly at Xiaobai, her mouth agape, seemingly shocked by Xiaobai's strange appearance.

"Thump!!!" The next second, Xiaobai transformed into a white shadow and quickly approached the ship girl. His spiritual power spread rapidly and rushed into the ship girl's body. Then, Xiaobai raised his hand and punched her in the stomach.

The ship girl groaned, her body went limp, and she collapsed onto the little white figure controlled by the Deep Sea Will. The little white figure's shoulders twitched, and the ship girl slid down along its body, falling unconscious beside the oven.

After doing all this, Xiaobai smiled gently, as if what had just happened was within her expectations. She tossed her long hair and revealed a cool smile.

"Infiltration successful."

Chapter 717 Glug glug glug

"Successfully infiltrated my ass!"

In the mental world, Xiaobai punched the Deep Sea Will in the back while loudly complaining to it.

How could this infiltration be successful? They said no one would notice! How come I got caught as soon as I jumped down?

The moonlight is quite nice tonight; who knows, that grilled salted fish might remember Xiaobai's face. Xiaobai is an admiral, and if an admiral is discovered sneaking into someone else's naval base at night and gets reported, the consequences are very serious.

"If no one saw it, then the infiltration was successful." The Deep Sea Will said this to Xiaobai, enduring Xiaobai's fist.

"Didn't the ship girl lying on the ground see that?"

“She won’t remember.” The Will of the Deep Sea clenched its fist and said to Little White, “This is a physical amnesia technique.”

"...Can attacking the stomach really cause the enemy to lose their memory?" Upon hearing the Deep Sea Will's statement, Xiaobai paused in her actions and asked the Deep Sea Will with some suspicion.

Xiaobai has seen the concept of physical amnesia in many extracurricular books and cartoons. Bismarck even demonstrated this technique to Xiaobai. Although whether it works or not is still debatable, physical amnesia is a well-known skill in the minds of many people.

Therefore, the Deep Sea Will, which shares memories with Xiaobai, naturally knows this as well.

"...If we're lucky," the Deep Sea Will said to Xiaobai, somewhat escaping reality.

"Isn't that still a matter of luck?" Xiaobai covered her face, instantly feeling that her future was extremely bleak.

“It’s okay. Even if she really hasn’t lost her memory, she’ll probably just think she’s dreaming,” the Deep Sea Will said. “After all, you just came to take a look and didn’t cause any damage. She has no evidence to prove that you were really here. If she really comes looking for you, just pretend you don’t know anything.”

"Really..." Xiaobai felt that what the Deep Sea Will said made sense, but she was still a little uneasy.

"Let's put her matter aside for now." Just when Xiaobai felt hopeless, the voice of the Deep Sea Will came again, "I'm not sure how long this will keep her unconscious. Let's finish what we need to do first before considering her problem."

"...Oh." Xiaobai looked at the ship girl lying on the ground on the TV and sighed helplessly.

In the real world, Xiaobai remained in the hair-flipping pose for a while before her movements returned to normal. She lowered her head, turned the ship girl lying on the ground over, and then carefully observed her.

The unconscious ship girl was not the one Xiaobai had seen in the tall ship girl group before. She was probably not a large ship type. She had long brown hair and a petite figure. The salted fish placed on the grill next to her was still crackling.

Ship girls are protected by their ship rigs. When the rigs are intact, ordinary physical collisions cannot truly harm them physically; at most, they will only cause them some pain. However, the one controlling Xiaobai's body is the Deep Sea Will. Compared to the ordinary human Xiaobai, the Deep Sea Will can better utilize the powerful potential of Xiaobai's body. Under her control, Xiaobai's vast spiritual power immediately entered the ship girl's rig, temporarily causing the rig to "shut down" for a few seconds. Taking advantage of these few seconds, the Deep Sea Will successfully cast a physical amnesia spell, the validity of which is unknown.

"Let's leave it here for now," Xiaobai murmured softly, then looked towards the room in the courtyard.

The layout of this courtyard is similar to that of Nia's courtyard; both are large courtyards. It's already late at night, but several rooms in the courtyard still have their lights on. The warm yellow light shines through the curtains and glass, adding a bit of brightness to the courtyard.

Xiao Bai bent down, and under the control of the Deep Sea Will, Xiao Bai silently moved along the wall towards a room.

It was one of the rooms where the lights were on even in the dead of night. The white curtains were drawn, but not tightly, with a small gap. The tall ship girl sensed by the Deep Sea Will was there.

Xiaobai reached the front of the house, then went to the window and peered through the gap in the curtains.

As expected, just as the Deep Sea Will had discovered, the tall ship girl we saw this morning was inside.

However, this ship girl didn't seem to be in a very good mood. Compared to her rather disheveled appearance this morning, the tall ship girl looked even more dejected now.

She was simply dressed in a white shirt, hugging her legs with both hands, looking listless. She sat on the edge of the bed, her chin resting on her knees, her whole body curled up because of this position, her long black hair hanging down her arms, looking like a salted fish who had lost her dreams.

"She's actually quite pretty," the Deep Sea Will said to Xiaobai in the spiritual world.

"what?"

"Don't you think?" the Deep Sea Will asked Little White, "the formal attire she wore under that cloak this morning was quite ugly."

"...What are you saying? She's really down right now."

"Aren't these kinds of lonely girls quite popular with some people?" Deep Sea Will pointed at the TV and asked Xiaobai again, "They really evoke a protective instinct in people."

Xiaobai doesn't want to answer this question anymore.

Xiao Bai thinks that the Deep Sea Will has probably been playing too many anime, comics and games, and is gradually turning into a fusion of Bismarck and Tirpitz.

With both books on physical amnesia and unparalleled infiltration, Xiao Bai felt he needed to find some time to read a few books that would help establish sound values ​​for the Deep Sea Will.

"So, should we go in and take a look?" the Deep Sea Will asked.

"I think it's better not to go in and take a look..." Xiaobai herself only came to take a look out of curiosity. She was not familiar with the tall ship girl. She was only interested in this ship girl because of what happened this morning. If she really went in, Xiaobai would not know what to say to that tall ship girl.

Besides, he had infiltrated illegally, and if the ship girl shouted, he would be in big trouble.

"Since we're already here, don't worry. If she dares to call for help, I'll stop her." Deep Sea Will truly lives up to her reputation as Xiao Bai's sweetheart; she clenched her fist and said this to Xiao Bai.

However, after what just happened, Xiaobai has lost faith in the will of the deep sea.

"How are you going to stop it?"

"You can take a look at the ship girls grilling fish over there," Deep Sea Will said.

"..." Xiaobai remained silent.

The silent Little White was taken as tacit agreement by the Deep Sea Will. She controlled Little White's body to walk to the door of this room and reached out to touch the doorknob.

However, when Xiaobai, controlled by the will of the deep sea, touched the doorknob, the cold touch of a lock appeared in Xiaobai's palm.

The door was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened from the inside.

The will of the deep sea sensed something, and Xiaobai sensed it too. Xiaobai looked at the scene coming from the TV with some surprise.

"Is she being held here?" Xiaobai asked.

The Will of the Deep Sea didn't speak. She smiled gently, and a golden light flashed in Xiaobai's eyes in the real world. With a slight exertion of force, the lock was crushed with a creak.

Having done all this, the Will of the Deep Sea controlled Little White to gently push open the door and walk in sideways.

As Xiaobai crushed the lock, the tall ship girl inside the house noticed the strange noise in front of her door. At first, she thought someone was about to open the door and come in, so she quietly looked towards the door.

The door opened quickly, and someone was indeed about to come in.

However, the person who walked in greatly surprised the tall ship girl.

The tall ship girl stared blankly at Xiaobai, her emotions surging intensely. Her confusion instantly turned into shock, then quickly into terror, followed by bewilderment and struggle. After a long while, she returned to helplessness.

"...Hello, esteemed admiral." The tall ship girl did not scream loudly when she saw the illegal intruder, as Xiaobai and Shenhai had expected. Instead, she gave Xiaobai a curious yet forlorn expression and greeted him respectfully.

"Are you being held captive?" Little White, controlled by the will of the deep sea, pointed to the door behind her and asked.

The tall ship girl remained silent for a long time, then lowered her head, obscuring her expression.

The will of the deep sea shook its head, then slowly released control of Xiaobai's body, returning control to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai's consciousness slowly rose from the spiritual world and returned to the real world. She shuddered, then shook her head and looked at the tall ship girl.

“Detaining ship girls is wrong; it’s illegal,” Xiaobai said.

“Attacking ship girls on the sea is also illegal,” the tall ship girl said.

"Hahaha……"

"I'm sorry, we were in the wrong first." The tall ship girl looked at Xiaobai and gave her a slight smile.

This ship girl doesn't seem as afraid of Shiro as she was this morning. I don't know if it's because her situation can't get any worse, or because she has nothing left to be afraid of.

But this is good too; this older sister-like demeanor makes Xiaobai feel much more approachable.

"Were you punished by your admiral?" Xiaobai walked to the side, picked up a stool, and sat down.

The tall ship girl nodded.

"Is it because of what happened when you came to our yard this morning?" Xiaobai asked.

The tall ship girl's expression stiffened. She bit her lip and nodded.

As Luo Lian had predicted, things unfolded exactly as she had: even though the ship girl got her equipment back, she was still punished.

"...Um, what kind of punishments were they?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.

"...My flagship status has been revoked." The tall ship girl sat on the bed, hugging her knees, her eyes somewhat vacant. "Then I'm left here to reflect on my actions until I admit my mistake."

It was a punishment that was neither too lenient nor too severe.

Xiaobai looked at the tall ship girl, thought for a while, and opened her mouth as if to say something, when a gurgling sound suddenly rang out between the two of them.

It was the tall ship girl's stomach growling.

The sound was not quiet, nor pleasant; it came out abruptly, enough to make any lady feel extremely ashamed.

After the tall ship girl heard the sound from her stomach, her pale face quickly turned red. She lowered her head, not daring to look in the direction of Xiaobai. She curled up, and a sense of desolation, as if she was about to cry, instantly enveloped her.

Chapter 718 Royal Oak

It seems that this tall ship girl hasn't eaten anything all day except for the porridge she had with Nia in the morning.

—Perhaps that's not accurate enough. Maybe he hasn't eaten much since Bismarck started sniping him yesterday morning.

Xiao Bai looked around the room but couldn't find a bowl of food.

Considering what the tall ship girl said before, that she would be imprisoned until she admits her mistake, it's likely that the tall ship girl is currently in a cold war with this naval base. If she doesn't apologize, the admiral here won't let her out or give her any food.

"Uh...that..." Xiaobai scratched his head as he tried to say something to the tall ship girl.

"...No...it wasn't me." The tall ship girl bent over, her face almost touching her thighs.

"..." Xiaobai looked at the tall ship girl awkwardly, "I'll go out and see if there's anything to eat."

After saying that, Xiaobai turned around and slipped out the door, disappearing silently into the darkness.

To the tall ship girl's surprise, after Xiaobai's figure disappeared into the darkness, she could no longer sense Xiaobai's presence.

Ship girls have incredibly strong perception. Even though it was night and the courtyard was pitch black, for a tall ship girl who was already prepared, it was as easy as finding a dot of ink on a blank sheet of paper for someone to walk around in the courtyard.

At first, when Xiaobai walked into her room, the tall ship girl just thought she was probably too hungry and didn't notice anyone approaching. But this time, she watched Xiaobai slip into the darkness. As soon as Xiaobai stepped into the darkness, her presence vanished in an instant, as if she had never existed.

The tall ship girl stared blankly at the door for a while before lowering her head.

—It seems I really am too hungry, even my senses have deteriorated so much.

Thinking of this, the tall ship girl gently bit her lip again, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her skirt as she hugged her legs, and a trace of indignation and grievance welled up in her red eyes.

It was already late at night. Xiaobai's ship equipment space was filled with resources, but there was no food. Convenience stores were far away, and climbing over walls felt unsettling. So Xiaobai had no choice but to return to the ship girl who had been grilling fish earlier and set her sights on the sizzling fish.

Xiao Bai picked up the grilled fish and looked at it.

One side of the grilled fish was already burnt because it wasn't flipped, and it looked dark and charred.

However, at this point, it didn't matter whether it was burnt or not. After confirming that the ship girl was still in a superb coma, Xiaobai grabbed the grilled fish and sneaked back to the tall ship girl's room.

During the time that Xiaobai was away, the tall ship girl did not take the opportunity to call for help. She remained obediently sitting on the bed in the same position that Xiaobai had seen her in through the curtains.
