Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 648 The gnawed sacred tree

Compared with Lin Lan's surprise, Bailong, who was carrying the Odachi on his shoulders, showed a smile of anticipation and excitement, and laughed impatiently:
"Haha, great. I heard Shimanshi always talk about how powerful the disaster is, but he was killed by the great sage with a sword. This time it's my turn to try the sword."

As long as the knife is in hand, Bailong seems not to know what fear is.

And as a powerful fourth-phase scientific research aircraft carrier and the most powerful aircraft carrier girl in the Chongsakura camp, these words are not arrogant.

But what Nagato said next to Lin Lan poured cold water on Hakuryuu, who was fighting hard:
"Commander, according to the great sage, the will awakened by the invisible breath is just a fragment and has been destroyed by her."

"It's just that the aura of the Demon King girl is still a little strange. The Great Sage and Musashi have already controlled her. You need to check it yourself."

When Lin Lan heard what Nagato said, he suddenly remembered something that he had almost ignored.

Yesterday, before the Purifier handed over the Demon King to them, he seemed to have told him that he needed to use the light element to stop the erosion of the Demon King's body.

At that time, he thought that the Purifier was just joking with him, but looking at it this way, it seemed that he really had to deal with it himself.

As for the fragments of Invisible Breath's will that were solved by Yun Xian, Lin Lan was not surprised.

Unzen was able to kill even the body of the invisible breath in the Omiya Divine Tree back then, not to mention that it was just a fragment now?

After Lin Lan told several Chong Ying ship girls the news he got from the Purifier in the Siren Fortress yesterday, Bai Long sighed as if he was not interested and said:

"What, he was actually solved by the great sage again."

"If you really want to practice, there are probably four Demon King Army cadres in Liaozhou, so there are plenty of opportunities."

After Lin Lan comforted Bai Long, senior Mikasa also laughed and said:

"The commander is right. If the Demon King's Army is really related to the disaster, I will arrange for Tsukuma to strengthen intelligence collection on the Demon King's Army on Inaba Island."

Hearing this familiar name, Lin Lan also remembered that this Tone-class heavy cruiser's second ship, Tsukuma, was the intelligence officer responsible for collecting intelligence for the Chongsakura camp, and he was definitely a professional.

That sexy rabbit-eared heavy cruiser girl can carry a large number of water reconnaissance aircraft. From what Mikasa said, it seems that Chikuma has already started secretly working on Inaba Island.

"Hey, Demon King's Army, what an interesting opponent we're looking forward to."

While Hakuryuu is full of expectations for his future enemies, Mutsu's ongoing secret technique is almost completed.

While waiting for Mutsu to open the passage to the sacred tree barrier, Lin Lan was suddenly pulled by Shinano.

Even in reality, this big white-furred fox with an ethereal temperament looked at him with hazy cobalt blue eyes, and on that breathtakingly beautiful face, the original lazy expression was revealed. There was a touch of solemnity.

Shinano seemed to find something wrong with him and said softly:

"Commander, why is there such a strong confusion in your body...Have you seen things that you have forgotten in your sleep recently?"

Although Shinano's voice was not loud, except for Mutsu, who was concentrating on using secret techniques to open the passage outside the sacred tree barrier, all the Juzakura girls cast unexpected glances at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan was also surprised when Shinano saw the problem in his dream at a glance.

He really planned to ask Shinano about this matter, but he didn't expect that Shinano would take the initiative to bring it up.

But the memory fragments of the original world that he dreamed about should be the Siren's moving hands and feet. Why would Shinano say that it was a memory scene that was confused and forgotten by him?
"Ever since I was captured by the Observers and you rescued me in a dream, I will dream about the experiences of the creator of the Siren from time to time."

"I also dreamed of these memory fragments last night, but the problem is that these memories have nothing to do with me in the first place. How could I have forgotten them?"

For this trustworthy dream expert, Lin Lan, of course, explained the origin of his "illness" without any concealment and told him what was bothering him.

"The creator of the Siren... this is too bizarre. How long ago did that happen? How could it be a memory forgotten by the commander?"

After listening to Lin Lan's words, Mikasa touched her chin and whispered with confusion on her face.

Shinano also looked at Lin Lan in surprise, slightly drooping the white fox ears on his head, as if he was thinking about something.

"Commander, I can't help you alleviate this situation. It's just my guess that this situation is harmless and will be resolved as your memory gradually recovers."

"If Commander has insomnia due to worry, I can help you sleep more comfortably."

Shinano finally expressed her conclusion, but Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh after hearing Shinano say that she couldn't get rid of this memory-like dream.It seemed that the observer's actions on him were far more complicated than he imagined.

But there is still good news. Shinano has judged that recalling dreams is not harmful to him, which is enough to calm him down for the time being.

As for what the observer did to him, we can only wait until he meets a high-level siren next time to ask.

And when Shinano finished speaking, the passage in front of Mutsu had also opened.

"Commander, everyone, please follow me into the sacred tree barrier."

"Mutsu, please call the guards to guard here. We should be back soon."

Nagato finished speaking approvingly to Mutsu and motioned for everyone to enter the barrier with her.

Accompanied by Mikasa, Bailong and Shinano, Lin Lan touched the cute Mutsu's head and then followed Nagato's footsteps and entered the Goshenmu barrier passage.

And when he stepped into the pale golden vortex, he found that he had arrived outside the Goshenmu Shrine where he arrived last night.

This also made Lin Lan understand. No wonder Mutsu took so long to prepare the secret technique. It turned out that the location where they appeared was directly set here, saving a lot of climbing.

The sky was still as dark as night, and visibility was extremely low.

But when he set his sights on the sacred tree in the courtyard in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The three Mikasa people who appeared immediately after them also stopped in their tracks and looked shocked after seeing the appearance of Mikasamu at this time.

"The sacred tree... was broken?"

As Mikasa, who had been here last night, there was already a tone of disbelief in her voice.

Just as Mikasa said, the imperial tree in front of Lin Lan and others at this moment is no longer as full of vitality as it was yesterday.

Half of the thick branches of the sacred tree seemed to have been chewed off by some huge monster. Two-thirds of the tree crown above had completely disappeared, and the broken part looked very ferocious and tragic.

What's even more exaggerated is that Lin Lan suddenly seemed to realize something and raised his head to look at the sky.

In the sky, billowing black clouds filled with ominous aura covered the sky. They were rolling and rolling as if they were alive, as if they would sweep down and devour everyone in the next moment.

Since he came to the Shenmu barrier last night, he felt that the sky was dark and there was no sense of violation.

But just like the anomaly he discovered, it should have been daylight here.

It was these black clouds, no, to be precise, it was the black flowing aura that completely covered the sky, making the environment as dark as night.

"Invisible Breath..."

Lin Lan whispered the name that the Chongying camp had given for this horrific disaster, and he also felt the same discomfort and disgust from the black aura that covered the sky as the black crawling matter on the Demon King's army before.

Until this moment, Lin Lan was finally sure that the invisible breath and the breath of the Demon King Army were definitely from the same origin.

However, in addition to confirming this point, Lin Lan was shocked beyond that.

Because he felt that the air around him was filled with this uncomfortable aura that seemed a little familiar.

It's like he has experienced it somewhere.

"Yes, the singularity of Huanyang City!"

Lin Lan frowned, and he finally remembered where this discomfort came from.

Back then, on the sea surface of Huanyang City, black particles representing meta energy were floating in the air around the black storm surrounding the singularity.

Although there were no black meta particles floating in the air around them at this time, the discomfort it brought him was far worse than the discomfort he felt in Huanyang City.
