Honkai, starting from being approached by Qiyana

But since she has issued an order to expel her, it means that Guan Xing probably doesn't want her to stay here any longer.

The Herrscher of Salty Flame pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

She raised her feet and moved towards the entrance of the bridge.

As he passed by the stargazing, the Herrscher of Fire Flames suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Stargazing asked.

"That..." After hesitating for a moment, the Herrscher of Fire Flames, "If you encounter any difficulties, I hope you can discuss them with all of us. After all, no matter what your background, on this Huber Everyone on the Li'an has become companions, and companions should rely on each other and help each other."

"Oh...?" Guan Xing tilted his head and chuckled, "Are you too sensitive, or is my expression too obvious? However, since you have already noticed it, then I won't take it too seriously. to deny."

"So...?" The Herrscher of Salinity Fire had a vague look of expectation in his eyes.

"Don't worry." Stargazer walked to the bridge, turned around, and looked at the Herrscher of Salinity Fire, "If that time really comes, I will borrow your strength unceremoniously."

"Really?" A gentle but firm smile appeared on the face of the Herrscher of Fire Flame, "Then I'll just wait and see."

After finishing speaking, the Herrscher of Salinity took the elevator and left the bridge with the sound of metal clashing.

Looking at the empty bridge in front of him, Guan Xing sighed softly.

"You calculated yourself, calculated the world, and tried to cut off everything in the past to bury your own truth..."

"But the only thing you didn't count is that they were saved by you. Even though you cut off the bond between each other, they still chose to continue to follow in your footsteps and persevere..."

"Really, what a cruel person..."

February 2014, 1

Shenzhou time, 2:13 am.

The eastern part of the South China Sea in China is at 121°14 east longitude and 15°37 north latitude.

Under the dark night, the majestic red ship broke through the sea, and a long waterway spread out behind it.

This huge icebreaker with a total length of 160 meters is a polar scientific research vessel named "Ice Dragon", which once belonged to the former Soviet Union.Later, during the construction process, the ongoing construction project was terminated due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and it was purchased by China at a low price.

The wind was strong, the clouds in the sky were very low, the sea undulated restlessly, and the turbulent waves shook the huge hull and creaked.

The captain sat in the pilothouse, frowning and watching the wireless communication in front of him.

This more than 100-meter-long ice-breaking scientific research ship was originally built to explore the polar environment of the Arctic. Both the size of the hull and the number of crew members are quite impressive.But now, the Ministry of Natural Resources of China has issued an order to observe and study the ocean current temperature in the South China Sea and the migration routes of rare sea fish, which made the captain feel a little dissatisfied while being confused.

Let an icebreaker dedicated to polar expeditions in the North Pole come to the South China Sea where the temperature changes in four seasons is less than [-] degrees to study the temperature of ocean currents... Apart from using cannons to fight mosquitoes, the captain can't think of any other more suitable words to describe what the superiors ordered instructed.

This man, who was supposed to end his nine-month scientific research mission and return home to enjoy a brief tenderness with his wife and daughter, sighed resignedly after a moment of silence, and picked up the radio in his hand: "Attention everyone!" , is about to arrive at the destination, please prepare for the mission."

After a while, a response came from the radio: "The detection work has been completed, the submersible is in good condition, and the dive team is in good condition, waiting for the captain's next instruction."

"The current time is 15:120 in the morning, and the coordinates are 32 degrees 5 minutes east longitude [-] degrees [-] minutes north latitude. After [-] minutes, the deep submersible will be released to conduct deep ocean current survey work." The captain said lightly.

"By the way, Captain." There was a deep diver's voice on the radio, his tone sounded a little confused: "Before diving, can I ask a question?"

"...what's the problem?" asked the captain.

"Exactly, why did the superior suddenly turn us around and come to the South China Sea on our way back?" the deep diver's words were puzzled, but at the same time, he could not conceal his dissatisfaction, "We have been staying in the North Pole continuously. It’s been nearly a year, and it’s finally coming back home…”

"..." The captain sighed and rubbed his aching forehead, "Let's stop complaining here, and we have to follow the instructions from above. As for the previous question... Indeed, you have the right to know The reason why I need to work overtime to perform tasks.”

"...the reason?" asked the deep diver.

"Well, first of all, we have started to record our conversation in real time, so don't laugh when you hear it." The captain took a deep breath, and said concisely: "There is a monster ahead."

"..."

"..."

"...Ah???" After a strange silence, a tone of astonishment that could not be added came from the radio, "Captain? Do you want me to relax a little before carrying out the mission?"

Hearing such nonsensical words on the boundless ocean, apart from thinking that the captain was telling a joke out of goodwill and concern, the deep divers could not think of any other possibility.But he was forced not to laugh, so he could only respond with a stunned attitude.

"Repeat." Hearing the deep diver's words, the captain's tone became more serious, but the deep diver could still hear the trace of deep dissatisfaction through the tone of the radio, "I didn't Just kidding, this is a very serious task."

"That's not right. If there really are monsters, what does it mean to let the icebreaker of our scientific expedition team investigate the ocean currents?" Battleships, or simply aircraft carriers."

"Uh, about this issue... I also asked my superiors before." After hearing the deep diver's question, the captain's face became a little ugly, "They said that because the Navy's budget is insufficient, it needs to be reduced as much as possible. Waste of fuel every time we go out. And our return route just passes through the South China Sea. Therefore, in order to reduce financial expenditure, the Chinese Navy entrusted the Ministry of Natural Resources to let us return in the name of investigating ocean currents and cherishing fishes. Go check out the actual situation."

"Okay, okay, since I accepted the commission from the navy, it's not a waste of time to work overtime." Oh, oh, there is no way, the deep diver said resignedly: "However, I really didn't expect that, It’s awesome that I can still perform the task of exploring monsters in my lifetime, and I really didn’t join the polar scientific expedition team for nothing.”

"In any case, the orders issued by the superior must be carried out correctly and perfectly." The captain sighed, "Besides, we are not the only ones involved in this kind of inexplicable prank. To be honest, the navy should also be full of people. Get confused."

"Shouldn't the person who called the police be arrested in this situation?" the deep diver was puzzled.

"However, it was not the general public who made this warning, but a very prestigious academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." The captain said, "Even, even most of the fuel expenses for this trip were paid by that person." The academician paid for it out of his own pocket... It seems that something has observed signs of the recovery of ancient giant beasts, so..."

"So, for the navy that doesn't believe this warning at all, let us investigate the specific situation first? Then we can judge whether we should really dispatch battleships according to the situation?" The deep diver sighed, "Isn't that the Have we become a reconnaissance team? It really is an innocent disaster. Who is that academician? Are you really not afraid of your reputation plummeting after issuing such a nonsensical warning?"

Obviously, even though he was very dissatisfied that the icebreaker of the dignified scientific expedition team was reduced to a reconnaissance ship, deep down in his heart, this deep diver didn't think there was anything wrong with the navy's judgment.

After all, the location here is already very close to the boundary line of the South China Sea, even if it is not far from the Manila Trench, if other problems are caused by a simple oolong news, the loss outweighs the gain.

"Also, what should we do if we encounter a monster? Could it be that the icebreaker hits it directly?"

"Okay, okay, it's almost time, finish the mission early and go back early, you guys want to go home and rest early, and so do I. Now lower the deep submersible." The captain interrupted the deep diver's words and said calmly: "Wish ya'll good luck."

Chapter 45 Urandale's Request

2014. 1, 2

Eastern time, 10:25 p.m.

After the somewhat noisy dinner, the peaceful day came to an end.

Qiyana and Leiden Mei didn't choose to stay at Li Shubai's place, but returned to their dormitory. Li Shubai and Bronya also entered their room shortly after dinner, and waited until Rita finished packing the leftovers. The bowls and chopsticks under the table, the whole floor is naturally immersed in a silent atmosphere.

Ulandal opened the glass door of the balcony.

The balcony was not turned on. Under the moonlight, the slender and beautiful maid stood quietly on the edge of the balcony with her back to Youlandelle who walked into the balcony.

"...Master Ulandal, if you stare at Rita so motionlessly, Rita will be shy." She turned her body, and her light and graceful steps were more like turning around than turning around. It's like a gorgeous dance is going on.

Rita stared straight at Youlandelle, her wine-red pupils were as bright as blood: "Is there anything you want to tell Rita?"

"..." Urandale sighed, her helplessness was palpable: "It's just the two of us now, so stop pretending now."

"What do you mean?" Rita had the same gentle and humble smile on her face, "Master Ulandal, can you describe it in more detail?"

"I'm not your captain, and you're not my maid." Urandale was not even a little bit shaken by Rita's question. The beautiful maid told the shocking fact, "After such a long time, I don't believe that with your meticulous eyesight, you can't even discover this."

However, beyond Ulandal's expectation, she didn't see any surprise on Rita's face, not even the anger that might have appeared in her expectation, or the anger that might have appeared to her original love. That Ulandal's worry, all of this was not shown on the face of the maid.

Seeing Rita's calm and unhurried expression, Urandale couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, and said again as if unwilling to admit defeat: "I said, I have replaced the captain of your family! Don't you think it's strange? , aren't you surprised?"

"Strange? Surprised?" The smile on Rita's face didn't decrease in the slightest because of Ulandal's angry words. She tilted slightly as if she was thinking about something. Then, with a look of sudden realization, he softly shouted in an exaggerated tone: "Oh! Who are you! Why are you in the body of Master Ulandal?"

"Let me tell you, you should act like a character at least!" Youlandelle said angrily, "You've been laughing all the time! You haven't stopped!"

"So, this Lord Youlandelle, who is not my captain, what kind of reaction do you want Rita to react? Worried? Or angry?" Rita bent down gently, showing her cute smile brightly Yanyan slowly approached Youlandelle, "Do you want Rita to challenge you here without fear of death? Or do you want to find a chance to defeat you with a cold face?"

Youlandelle raised a finger, her upright facial features put on a serious expression, her pair of blue pupils as clear as the surface of a lake were full of sternness: "Well...not to that extent, In short, before releasing your own hostility, you must first confirm whether the other party is hostile, carefully assess the risk factor, and then proceed after confirming your own safety..."

In the middle of speaking, suddenly, Ulandal closed her mouth without warning as if she had noticed something.

Silence descended on the balcony under the moonlight, and the figures of Ulandal and Rita standing face to face remained motionless.

After a long silence of about 5 minutes, Ulandal blushed and looked away, her white fingers tightly twisted together out of shame.

Rita didn't speak, she just smiled happily, quietly staring at Youlandelle's embarrassment and entanglement.

After a while, Youlandelle, who was the first to be unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, broke the silence with a trembling voice: "You...see it?"

"If you are referring to the fact that you are still the Master Ulandal that Rita is familiar with, Rita has been aware of it from the very beginning." Rita put her face away slightly. With a smile, her neck slightly raised, like a victorious swan: "As for the other things, since I already know that you are indeed Mrs. Ulandal, Rita doesn't have to worry too much. Rita has always placed the highest trust in what Lord Randall has done."

"...How do you see that the me who appeared in Saint Freya instead of this Ulandal here also belongs to Ulandelle?" The so-called female intuition that I told you?"

"If you can say that you know all the living habits, ways of speaking, tone of voice, and subtle actions of Mrs. Ulandal, it can be called a woman's intuition." Rita After thinking about it, he nodded his head seriously, "Perhaps, that is indeed the case."

"Although I've realized it since a long time ago..." Looking at Rita's familiar appearance, Urandale couldn't help swallowing a little nervously, sweating slightly on her forehead, "Rita, you still What a terrible man."

"Thank you Lord Ulandal for your compliment. Rita is very honored." Hearing Ulandelle's indignant comment, Rita smiled happily, which made Ulandelle couldn't help but glared at Rita. One glance: "I'm not praising you!"

"However, although I do see that you are also the Yolandelle that Rita is familiar with. But..." Rita hesitated, not knowing what words to use to accurately describe the current situation, "It seems There are still some subtle differences between you and Rita's captain when it comes to the choice of some issues."

"You mean that I will agree with Senior Teresa's suggestion to come to St. Freya?" Urandale asked.

Rita nodded: "That's right, as far as I know, you are not concerned with the teaching method of St. Freya College..."

"I think St. Freya's too relaxed environment is not suitable for me, and that's right." Youlandelle said, "It's just that, just like what I said before, the me standing in front of you... ...is no longer the captain of the Immortal Blade team."

Rita's heart moved: "Is it because of that boy named Li Shubai?"

"That's right, there is only one task for me now." Youlandelle said in a calm tone, "That is to protect Li Shubai's safety, and there is nothing else other than that."

Rita frowned her beautiful willow eyebrows and pursed her red lips.

After hearing Youlandelle's words, she couldn't help feeling a little sore in her chest, as if her daughter who had been raised for a long time suddenly turned her arm to a young man she didn't know at all outside.

"However, I won't be able to stay here for long." Ulandal said, "And if I'm not wrong, after I go back, your captain should return to the Destiny Headquarters immediately... and then in the near future Then, face Bishop Otto."

After taking a few deep breaths, Rita stopped the bitterness surging in her heart, and was slightly taken aback when she heard Youlandelle's words: "You mean..."

"I am the biological daughter of Siegfried Kaslana and Cecilia Shaniat." Urandelle had a complicated expression. She walked to Rita's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with Rita. On the edge of the balcony fence, then raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky from a distance, "This matter... Rita, you should know about it too."

Rita's complexion finally changed. She turned her face slightly and looked at Ulandal, who was standing on her shoulder with her back facing her. Her eyes were a little surprised and at a loss: "Yourlandelle My lord, you..."

"Don't worry, whether it's me standing here, or your captain coming back tomorrow night, neither will be dissatisfied because of your concealment, nor will you be shaken too violently because of this incident "Yourlandelle looked at the moon with deep and quiet eyes, as if she couldn't see someone here, "However, in order to find the truth about yourself, your captain will definitely face Bishop Otto in person, you know , Just relying on my own words will definitely not be able to stop me."

"..." Rita looked away, lowered her head silently, and did not speak.

"Speaking of which, I think with your ingenuity, you should have figured out who I am." Youlandal said lightly.
