Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1353 The Imperial City in the World Slice
The experiment that Lin Lan is going to do is very simple.

He let the Mercury Memorial meta release "Paradise", and used its influence to separate Lang Yuexi, Bai Qixue, and Fushun, who had taken the initiative to compete for the qualification of experimental subject.

Through observation, even though Lang Yuexi was a strong man in the realm of asking for the way, his cognition was still modified by the "paradise" of the Mercury Memorial meta.

Fushun's performance was much better than Langyuexi and Bai Qixue.

In order to change the perception of this Donghuang Guiding Girl, the Mercury Memorial meta took a long time to succeed.

Seeing that the time was almost right, he began to try to make Fushun enter a state of mental awakening.

"Fushun, I'm right beside you, don't worry."

He strode straight to Fushun, and the "Paradise" power of the Mercury Memorial meta had no effect on him at all.

The energy-guiding girl, whose cognition had been modified and who could not see him, seemed to have truly heard his call and nodded obediently.

Under the astonished gazes of the surrounding ship girls, Fushun raised his hand, a faint golden glow emanating from his body, and tightly clasped the hand he extended.

The next second, Fushun cheered and hugged him tightly:
"Commander! It looks like the experiment was successful!"

Along with the joyful voice of Fushun, Mercury Memorial Meta also exclaimed in disbelief:

"Wow! Her cognition was anchored in an instant... Is this mental awakening?!"

"Even the most advanced Rubik's Cube instrument was completely unable to capture any data. I can't give a reasonable explanation."

Princeton meta and Nakhimov had already placed various instruments aside and turned them on, but when they heard Mercury's speech in commemoration of meta, Nakhimov sighed and said.

"If the miracles created by the assistants can be recorded so easily, they can no longer be called miracles!"

But Miss D seemed to have expected this to happen, and she looked proud and excited.

After confirming that Fushun, who had entered a state of mental awakening, had completely gotten rid of the cognitive modification of "Paradise", Lin Lan turned his gaze to Lang Yuexi and Bai Qixue.

He took out the Palm Life and Death Disk and replaced this power with the power of limit and injected it into the spiritual weapon.

The golden thread of cause and effect instantly enveloped the two Natlan girls, and Lang Yuexi and Bai Qixue's eyes gradually regained clarity.

"Not bad, not bad! It seems that the memetic erosion of cognitive modification is indeed not a problem for you!"

Mercury Memorial Meta clapped his hands in admiration, then looked at him and asked:

"So what exactly is mind awakening, and why is your cognition never modified from the beginning to the end?"

"It would be nice if I knew the principle. As long as it works, that's fine."

Although he said this, he actually felt angry and amused in his heart.

Until he traveled through time, the official plot of the game did not reveal the reason why he was able to awaken the minds of the ship girls.

Even the fact that he took the initiative to awaken the minds of the ship girls was something he suddenly realized after traveling through time.

However, he could vaguely guess that this might be a miracle created by the love of the ship girls for him.

Mental awakening and metathesis are two extremes.

The former will make the minds of the ship girls more and more like humans, while the latter will make the ship girls return to the weapon essence of the ship. While gaining huge power in a short period of time, they will gradually lose their emotions and eventually become a new Category V threat.

"Comrade Commander, now that we have confirmed it, let's..."

The Soviet Alliance looked at him walking back with Fushun, Langyuexi and Bai Qixue, and asked him in a deep voice.

The steel defense line on the ice field has been basically completed under the cover of night.

Half of the floating fleet will be left for defense, and the remaining half will switch back to floating mode and be ready to attack at any time.

"Well, everything is ready. Let's head into this slice of the world."

Lin Lan looked around at the Donghuang and Beilian ship girls who had deployed their ship equipment, took a deep breath, and gave the order to attack.

“Everyone please stay close to me as much as possible and don’t be separated.

"Ms. D, Explorer, Nasimov, turn on the detection equipment and radar system to full power. Be sure to collect data and information as soon as possible after entering the world slice."

No one knows what the inside of the world slice will look like.

But he knew that this battle would not only determine the fate of Natlan, but even the fate of the entire alien world. After receiving his instructions, several floating warships began to slowly sail towards the Qiongji Ice Peak.

All the ship girls had serious expressions and were ready for a fierce battle.

They already had ample experience in similar situations of breaking into mirror-like seas.

During this quiet and serious process, Lin Lan raised his hand and bestowed the power of mental awakening to all the girls.

Mercury Memorial meta is a heavily meta ship girl. Although she can no longer gain mental awakening, she still has the ability to protect herself in the face of cognitive modifications.

As for the less meta Princeton meta, it will be sheltered by the Mercury Memorial meta.

"Everyone get ready! We are about to enter the world slice!"

As Miss D counted down loudly, Lin Lan and the girls around her who were shrouded in the golden light curtain all concentrated, waiting for the change in their vision.

"Three...two...one!"

……

"Tanghulu! Tanghulu, a specialty of Beizhou! Three cents a string!"

"I give up! The court has a curfew again today, and I haven't been to a brothel in a long time!"

……

When Lin Lan's consciousness briefly became hazy, he could hear the noisy conversation of a crowd.

He should have been standing on the deck of the floating battleship, but he was actually standing on an ancient street that was bustling and prosperous with constant flow of people.

There are many vendors hawking their wares in the ancient street filled with the atmosphere of the market, just like the clear afternoon sky where monks flying on swords occasionally pass by, indicating that this is still Natlan.

But the occasional ancient-style armored army that appeared from the center of the street, either riding on tamed monsters or hurrying along on horseback, seemed to be in stark contrast to the indifferent and adaptable crowds around them.

"here it is?"

Lin Lan was in a daze for a moment, then immediately looked around anxiously.

When he saw the girls from Donghuang and Beilian who were right beside him, also looking around with bewildered expressions, and confirmed that no one was missing, he heaved a long sigh of relief.

Although I don’t know why the inside of the world slice looks like this, as long as my ship girls are around, it’s fine.

"Comrade Commander, don't take it lightly. Maybe everything here is an illusion."

The Soviet allies saw the relieved expression on his face and reminded him at the right time.

However, it would have been better if the Soviet alliance, who had deployed their ship armor and held the ice crystal scepter, did not speak.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Natlan people around her seemed to be slow to realize that they were a group of "foreigners" with different styles, and they screamed and dispersed.

"Who are you? Are you from the Oran tribe that have invaded the imperial city?"

"Impossible! If so many foreigners can break into the imperial city, then our Natlan nation will be destroyed!
"Where are the Imperial Guards and the Yantiansi Patrol? Go and inform them!"

Before Chapayev and Harbin opened fire, Lin Lan signaled to her fellow ship girls not to take action.

From his observation, the fear and panic on the faces of the Natlan people who retreated to the surroundings did not seem fake.

"Imperial City? Is this the Imperial City of Zhongzhou?"

He frowned and muttered to himself.

Why did the floating battleships they were on disappear?
What is going on inside the world slice?
Why did that ancient Category V threat from Natlan create such a seemingly normal slice of the world?
Numerous questions puzzled him, but fortunately, Miss D, as an arbitration agency, showed how reliable she was at this time.

"Assistant! I've already sent a drone to observe from above!
“Comparing with the observer’s database… this is undoubtedly the imperial city of the NL region!
"only……"

Miss D hesitated for a moment, and when she saw him and the girls looking at her in confusion, she finally said firmly:

“However, according to deduction and judgment, the time point when we were in the imperial city was one hundred and five years ago, in the middle and late stages of the Immortal Death War between the NL and AL regions!

"Combined with the fact that the buildings in the imperial city have not been destroyed, it can be judged that the evil king of Natlan has not yet been purged by the Yantian Division and the demon clan!"
