Starting from the Possessed Shipgirl

"It won't work today. After all, you were probably asleep when I possessed you. But I can do it next time when I lean over someone else..."

Huang Xi was interrupted by the girl before he finished speaking, "Next time, the commander will wear a mecha again, right?"

The girl's words were calm, like an ordinary rhetorical question.

But for some reason, Huang Xi seemed to feel an undercurrent surging beneath the calm sea surface.

The words he was about to say were suddenly frozen, and he didn't know how to say them for a long time.

"Well, I'm not saying that the mecha is bad, but... I always feel like there's something between me and the commander. It feels weird..."

The girl paused, and stopped talking and moving as if she didn't know what to say.

Huang Xi also fell silent. After a while, he forced a smile and asked, "Isn't the appearance of this basketball weird now?"

“That’s strange, too.”

Cleveland immediately laughed, as heartily as before.

But after a moment, she gently stroked his cheek again, "But at least, this is the commander..."

Huang Xi was silent and had no words to say.

That's true. Although he has turned into a basketball now, when the girl's fingers touched him, he could clearly feel that she was touching his cheek.

But when sitting in the mecha, one can only communicate with the outside world through the display screen and sensors.

When he reached out and touched the girl's forehead, who did everyone feel? Was it the commander?

Or a cold steel machine?

"Well, Commander, don't think too much. I was just saying it casually."

Cleveland chuckled again, hugged the basketball tightly in his arms, and said softly, "As long as it's the commander's words, no matter what it becomes, everyone can accept it."

Huang Xi didn't say anything, just remained silent. After a long time, he said "hmm" softly with a complicated tone.

Cleveland laughed again and said cheerfully, "I always feel like I'm more excited in my dreams. I said a lot of weird things. I definitely can't say these things in real life."

"I understand. This is what happens in dreams."

"So, I would also like to take this opportunity to ask, does the commander really treat me as a girl?"

"Ok?"

Huang Xi was stunned. He didn't expect the girl's thinking to be so unconventional, but he quickly chuckled and said, "Of course, and she's a very cute girl."

"Hmm... cute, but it seems a little out of place. But since it's the commander who said it, I'll gladly accept it."

Cleveland laughed heartily, and his brilliant smile was as bright as the sunshine.

She placed the basketball on her thighs and said, "Let me take this opportunity to give the commander a massage."

"Massage? Massage a basketball?"

"What's the difference? They're all commanders anyway."

Cleveland was smiling happily, obviously in a good mood, and even Huang Xi's mood was not as entangled and melancholy as before.

He sighed inwardly, relaxed his balls and laid them on Cleveland's strong thighs.

The slender little hand moves slowly on the sphere, and there is a subtle feeling. It is not comfortable, but it is very relaxing.

"Hey yo..."

The girl's soft sigh rang in her ears, making her feel even more still.

Huang Xi couldn't help but think about the mecha, but suddenly heard a strange sound beside him.

There was a loud shattering sound, as if something had cracks.

He turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction where the sound came from, but saw a stream of light flickering in the corner of the room, constantly converging and finally condensing into a slender figure.

Silver hair and purple eyes, the left eye covered by the bangs is like an ice flower, withering bright light.

Yunxian?

Huang Xi was stunned and remembered what happened in his last dream in Shinano.

What? You won’t let me go even if I turn into a basketball?

Is it time to interrupt at this moment, or does Yunxian have a different hobby for this kind of thing?

He felt strange in his heart, but Cleveland blinked in realization and said softly, "So it was you just now?"

"what?"

Yun Xian was stunned, but quickly shook her head, her expression becoming serious, "I'm sorry, Commander, Miss Cleveland. It was not Yun Xian's intention to disturb you, but there were some unexpected things during the experiment."

Chapter 252 Lost in Dreams

A rustling sound was heard in the dense woods.

The branches and trees swayed, as if something was shaking among them.

From the center to the edge, it gradually spread toward the periphery, and finally formed a small crack near the scientific research department.

The camera lens slowly extended out, hidden by leaves and branches, and silently aimed forward.

The light was transmitted through the lens, then fell into the viewfinder, and finally into the sparkling eyes of several little guys.

"Yes, I can see what's going on in the laboratory."

The girl with the purple ponytail smiled and spoke in a low voice. But even so, one could still feel the vitality in her words.

"It's a great success."

Ayanami, with the mechanical antenna on her head, nodded with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a javelin."

"It's worthy of being a javelin."

Rafi, who was still a little drowsy, nodded and said.

Javelin immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and chuckled, "It's not as amazing as everyone says. You can do it too."

"The javelin is still more powerful."

"The javelin is even more powerful!"

"Where, where..."

"Well, this isn't something to be happy about."

Z23 interrupted the business exclamation of several people in silence, looked at the content in the viewfinder seriously and solemnly, and said in a low voice, "We are only here to look for clues, not to take secret photos."

"Actually, this..."

Javelin blinked and said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't think there is much difference. They are all things that cannot be seen by others."

"I don't think there is any difference." Ayanami nodded.

Z23 said seriously, "It's a big difference. We came here to help Alfredo and Gridley."

As two of the three major reporters in the port area, Alfredo and Gridley's whereabouts are restricted in a sense.

It’s not that you can’t go to certain places.

Rather, going to certain places will trigger an alarm and then come into the secretary ship's sight.

Especially something as important as this, concerning the truth about the commander.

It would be fine to interview some past participants, but it would be better to go to the research department to look for clues.

Even hiding quietly in the bushes would be too much.

Are the port regulations just for show?

So the final result was to let Javelin and others help out, which was actually not much different in nature, but was somewhat more euphemistic.

"So, we are actually helping, not peeking."

Z23 raised his finger and said seriously.

Javelin and Ayanami didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Rafi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sharp, "Z23 is just afraid of being discovered."

Z23's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly explained, "This kind of thing is not good in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that it involves the commander, I would never agree to it."

"Hehe, that's totally childish talk."

Lafite sneered, perhaps it was a sneer of disdain. The girl's words and actions were full of laziness that came from the bottom of her heart, which made it difficult for people to really feel disdain.

Ayanami and Javelin's eyes lit up, and they seemed to want to say something else.

But before he could open his mouth, Z23 looked him in the face and he fell silent.

Z23 did not say any more about this, but lowered his voice and said, "Let's continue. I don't know if we can see the experimental failure that Jarvis and Janus mentioned before... Wait, the laboratory is busy!"

There was a hint of resentment in her voice at first, but it soon rose and turned into an exclamation. She leaned forward and stared at the viewfinder closely.

Javelin and Ayanami also blinked and moved closer with expressions of surprise and curiosity.

Even Rafi is the same.

Several little heads gathered together, their eyes flickering.

“Everyone is really busy.”

"It seems like something big happened."

"Wait, we should be recording now, Javelin, did you just record it?"

"Oh, sorry, I'll start right away..."

"He's just a little kid."

"Rafi, don't say such things at this time!"

Then the small bush suddenly became lively.

……

"So, the current situation is that the dream cannot end normally?"

Dream, Cleveland apartment living room.

After hearing Yunxian's explanation, Huang Xi tried his best to make his expression serious. But he was just a basketball now, so it was a little difficult.

"Yes, it may be the sequelae of the voltage stabilizing device. There was an abnormal fluctuation in the dream before. Akashi and everyone forced the dream to stabilize it, but it may also have caused the dream to solidify."

Yun Xian nodded and explained, with a hint of apology on her delicate face, "So, after Miss Cleveland regained consciousness, the dream was still intact."

"Hmm, so that's how it is..."

Huang Xi probably understood what the girl meant, but he couldn't act quickly.

Mainly because he is a basketball player now, secondly, the dream itself is difficult for people to associate with danger, and finally because he thought of a strange question: "How do you know that Cleveland has regained consciousness?"

Huang Xi stared at Yun Xian closely, feeling a little strange. Could it be that this guy had been secretly watching from the beginning of the dream?

This habit is too bad.

However, since he is now a basketball, the expression on his face was also drawn by Cleveland, so his appearance has not changed.

"This... because of the emergency situation before, Yunxian entered this dream."

The girl explained, her words still gentle and apologetic, "The commander's condition is difficult to describe. Yunxian and Akashi projected the scene from the dream onto the screen."

"and many more."

Huang Xi jumped up immediately.

A basketball bounced back and forth on the sofa. Even though its appearance did not change at all, anyone could feel the shock and horror.

"You also projected the scene in your dream. How many people know about it now? Everyone in the lab?"

Yun Xian thought for a moment, nodded, and explained, "Almost. There are also Miss Secretary and the others. There is no one else."

That’s a lot of people already.

Huang Xi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

Cleveland stepped forward and gently stroked the surface of the basketball, smiling gently, "Don't be angry, this is all for the commander to come to the port as soon as possible."

The words the girl had said before resurfaced in his mind, and all kinds of thoughts rose and fell, rolling like the tide, and finally turned into a calm sea.
