old light morning light

Chapter 148 "47"

"Tsk, it's useless for us to say that. Since we met you here, why don't you take me to inform the officer in charge of the safety of the ship?"

After thinking about it, it would be more harmonious to say this. If I told him directly that I need to see the captain, I'm afraid it would sound too deliberate.

"Well……"

Dover looked troubled, looking thoughtful.

Sure enough, it's still not good, after all, it doesn't feel right to bring a guy who looks suspicious to meet these senior officers...

"Well, I happen to have something to do, so I'll take you to see Captain Xiluen directly, and you can tell him about it directly, how about it?"

ha?
Is there such a good thing?

Shouldn't it be too natural?
"Ah, why don't you go directly to the captain?"

Yes, it would be nice to show a little hesitation, this is a normal performance beyond my expectations.

"Uh, to be honest, I don't think it's necessary to bother the captain?"

"Let's go, who made such a fuss just now, I also have something to report to the captain, so I will take you there together."

Helping me to stand up, Dover didn't know what the purpose was, and lightly touched the magnetic dagger hanging on his waist.

Has it been substituted into the threat I created?

still is……

"This is much more reliable than finding some security officer, right?"

"Um……"

Eh?
Wait, what did he just say?
Captain Silune?
If I remember correctly, the captain who showed up there before seemed to be called...Stop?

Hunter?

Anyway, it should be called Stoup, right?
Why did it become Xiluen again here, is it strange?

What's wrong with this broken place, it's all confusing all day long!
Can it still be reliable? I really didn’t expect that every time I help the old dog Kalinin, hey, you can help out a lot of problems!

"You don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

Ouch, why is this guy still staring at me, it's not enough to complain, is it!

"No, oh..."

"I ran too much in one breath just now, and now I'm a bit out of strength..."

"It's nothing, just take a rest later."

The wonderful eyes, it seems that from all aspects, this guy did not believe my words, this is a smart person, I have every reason to believe that he really just simply understood my wish to meet the captain .

"Duo, when~!"

The hard leather shoes trampled on the steel plate, making a dull and crisp sound, which echoed back and forth in the slightly dim passage.

This chatterbox was uncharacteristically, he didn't chat with me on this short but not short journey, and also hinted at something to a certain extent, so I could only quietly follow the young navy in front of me. officer.

The pipelines on the surrounding walls became denser and denser, and it seemed that they were approaching a relatively core cabin.

The cabin in front of us is guarded by guards, but Dover, who was walking in front, did stop. It seems that this is the purpose of our trip.

"Second Lieutenant First Class, Automatic Weapons Team, Guillermoyeddorfer!"

Then Dover glanced at me, the little thing in his eyes seemed to imply that I had to say something too?
Uh, do you really want to say something?

But...then just imitate this guy, there are officers from the automatic weapons team here, so my best words are...

Be natural, Lin Man, think about what he just said!
"Automatic Weapons Team, Naval Petty Officer Substitute, Augusta Linman!"

Call ~
These two guys didn't respond, it seems that they succeeded...

Glanced at me again, is it telling me to follow him?
But fortunately, the eyes look more natural, maybe it's because I didn't expect this guy to be so good, so he naturally relaxed, right?

Turning his head away, Dover stretched out his hand and pushed open the door in front of him, and the soft light in the room poured out from the door.

It actually warmed up...?
Is it my delusion?

Yes, why am I in a trance, I should go in with Dover...

But after passing through this iron gate, it seemed that he really came to another world.

"Pi~"

Regardless of other things, there is actually a burning fireplace in front of me. The unreal fireworks seem to be mocking my ignorance.

"Dover."

This cabin... It should be said that it is more like a room. Compared with the cold warship, the decoration style here is more like the study of a traveler from the cold land.

"Dear Captain Silune, good afternoon!"

When I came back to my senses, it occurred to me that there was someone in front of me who should salute first!
"Dear Captain Silune, good afternoon!"

It's good to follow the example, imitating Dover's appearance and saluting the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk in front of him.

Rather than being a middle-aged man, the fatigue in his eyes is more like an old man who hasn't aged yet.

Although I'm not really a soldier in the automatic weapons team of the ship, at least I'm really a midshipman in the Navy.

There's nothing improper about saluting an officer, right... wait?
This is... his ear?

It's an alien!
Based on my experience in the empire, I saw at a glance that the so-called Captain Sirune in front of me was actually a real alien!

This kind of curly ears, although there is no guarantee that if you can see the horns under his military cap, you can determine the specific race.

strangeness……

Uh, but it seems like there's nothing wrong with the Union Navy, right?
"Oh hoo, you brought me a new face, Dover."

"And the young friend seemed surprised?"

Ah, are you talking about me?
"Uh, just saw you..."

"Heheha, are you surprised to see a captain of a foreign race?"

At this time, it seems better not to answer his question directly, any answer from me may make his subjective impression of me worse.

Let's change the subject.

Dover on the side also blinked at me, but I didn't figure out what it meant.

"You look more...er, older than I guessed."

Yes, although his tone is still very powerful, but the slow speed has already betrayed something.

Also, it is not a habit of young people to use a lot of modal particles, so...

"Yes, oh."

"I've spent quite a long time in these tin boats."

"Duofur, you brought this Lin Man, I heard it just now, is it called Lin Man?"

There was questioning in my eyes, and I nodded slightly to express my affirmation.

"Oh, is there any other extra thing for bringing this Lin Man here?"

extra thing?
So there is still something that should be done?
So in other words, the alien captain knows the purpose of this guy coming here, right?

A first-level second lieutenant can actually have a direct handover with a captain.

"That's right sir, Linman is reporting a weapon sighting."

Although he can't see his epaulettes right now, as a commander of a regular serial cruiser, his military rank will not be lower than a third-rank lieutenant colonel.

And considering that this ship has been professionally enhanced and refitted, as a derivative ship of cruisers, her commander rank will only be higher...

"According to his description, someone used leggings to conceal a pistol in the ship, and was chased to a considerable extent."

Having said that, Dover glanced at me again, as if he wanted me to take the initiative to say something, and the captain also looked at me.

Hmph, this guy is really not as simple as I imagined.

"It's Mr. Captain, I inadvertently saw a pistol protruding from the trousers of a fellow member of the investigation team, and then..."

"Hey, is it a pistol... Do you remember where you saw it?"

Where... how do I know where, I can't say it's in my room...

That's okay, let's just say it's in the area where you stay, what is it called the box room area, right?

"It was in the box room area where we stayed, and I happened to see him come out of the room, when the trouser legs were not fully stretched."

"You said you were being chased, did you remember where you ran?"

Where to run, then go to that shipboard neural network array...

Wait, no, as a rookie who just boarded the ship, how could I know where to run?
How is it possible... You should immediately act like you don't understand, and look at Dover first.

"Uh……"

Then he pretended to be hesitant to speak and looked back at the captain, with some doubts and embarrassment on his face.

"Speaking of it, I don't know where I ran to. Anyway, he just stepped out, smoothed his trouser legs with his hands, and happened to see me."

"I ran outside without looking back, I remember turning a few corners, and... yes, I went downstairs, found a corner room and wanted to hide in it first, and met this Duo Fu Er."

The young officer in front of him also nodded slightly to show his approval.

Good guy Lin Man, fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would really say the ship-borne neural network array or something, then I might be passive.

Thinking of this, I actually broke out in a cold sweat.

"Okay, then I probably know, and I will arrange for someone to look for this person."

His attitude was quite calm, and there was no change in his expression...

Damn it, I can't tell at once whether this guy is acting so plain because he already knows, or because he has so much experience that people can't see the depth!

whispering sound!
You also have two brushes!

Then you can only work harder...

"But it's a pistol, and he's seen my face, I'm afraid—"

It's better to show a little surprise. You should know that you should speak out from the standpoint of a normal innocent person at this time.

"Hehehe, don't worry young man, there will be professional people to deal with it, you can't be safer..."
