Starting from the Possessed Shipgirl

Huang Xi stood at the door of the villa, silently watching the girl's figure disappear at the end of the path.

Chapter 013 Leaving and Returning

The night was like a veil, gently falling on the woods behind the villa and the lawn in front.

Huang Xi stood at the door of the villa, silently looking at the end of the path, then turned back to look at the gate of the villa. He was silent for a long time, with complicated thoughts in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked outside along the path.

Soon, we arrived at the square.

There was no one in the empty square, only the dim street lights were on, bringing dots of light that fell on the closed shop doors and signs.

Continuing along the path, the crisp footsteps echoed in the empty streets.

He walked to the front of the cafeteria, and followed the sound of mocking to the apartment building. The scattered figures left traces on the windows like shadow puppets under the lights...

He watched in silence for a long time, then stood up and walked forward along the path, circling the route he had taken during the day, and finally stopped on the beach.

The light of the street lamp stopped some distance away from the beach.

Huang Xi's small figure continued to move forward and soon blended into the darkness.

The beach seemed a little quiet in the night, the sea was pitch black, and there was only a bright moon hanging high in the sky.

He stood on the rocks on the shore, his eyes following the sea surface all the way to the dark depths, his mind full of thoughts.

This port area is very good.

It’s really great, everyone is very nice and the relationships are harmonious. After integrating into the group, he can clearly feel like he’s part of a family.

But these are not his after all, but Indy's.

Huang Xi pursed his lips, and a hint of loneliness appeared on his delicate face.

"Sure enough, I still can't take all this for granted."

"Why does it have to be like this? We finally came to a new world, why can't it be better?"

He murmured to himself, then suddenly shook his head and couldn't help laughing. He jumped lightly from the reef and walked towards the sea.

"Nothing is perfect."

"Sister will probably be very sad, right? So will Houston and the others, as well as the Vesta and the others, and maybe even that unknown commander..."

This place is less than ten kilometers away from NY City. Now that he is a ship girl, he can sail there in an hour at most.

If we reach the inland by train, we should be able to completely disappear from everyone's sight.

Huang Xi slowly walked into the sea, and a cold feeling suddenly touched his toes, making him feel a little chilly.

"Sorry, everyone. Sorry, Indy-chan."

He stared at the dark sea in silence for a long time, and suddenly frowned.

By the way, how should a ship girl sail?

"Shipsuit? Summon the shipsuit? The shipsuit appears?"

Huang Xi tried all kinds of methods with his arms and legs bared, but found himself standing in the sea with no sign of sailing at all.

The vast ocean is calm and boundless, as deep as ink.

Huang Xi stared into the distance, then turned his head silently and walked towards the shore, "Let's practice sailing tomorrow before leaving."

Although there is a path behind the port area that leads directly to NY City, it requires passing through a dense forest.

Don't say that he has now turned into a delicate and weak beautiful girl.

Even in the past, Huang Xi would not choose to cross the forest late at night.

In a sense, such behavior is no different from suicide.

"We will practice sailing tomorrow. How can we practice sailing without anyone noticing? It's a bit difficult."

Huang Xi muttered to himself and quickly returned to his villa along the path.

My sister hasn't come back yet. I heard from Enterprise that Portland and the others seemed to have encountered a siren today. Although there is no danger, it may be a little late.

Huang Xi didn't know how long it would take, but he planned to fall asleep early to avoid any accidents.

After a simple wash, Huang Xi lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling silently.

The clear moonlight shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The sound of subtle footsteps spread along the path, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing.

My sister is back.

Huang Xi closed his eyes and did not move.

After just a moment, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, leaving a crack.

"Goodnight, Indy-chan!"

My sister's gentle voice rang in my ears, and then the door closed.

Huang Xi opened his eyes again, looked at the dark ceiling, and suddenly said slowly, "Good night, Huang Xi."

……

In a trance, Huang Xi slowly woke up from his sleep.

Open your eyes.

The familiar ceiling comes into view.

Huang Xi scratched his head in confusion, sat up from the bed and walked to the mirror.

A thin and weathered face suddenly appeared.

The hair is very short, but it has not been well-groomed and has some bumps and lumps.

It's just like I just trimmed it with a pair of scissors.

The skin on his face was slightly red, cracked, and very rough.

Huang Xi touched his chin. The rough touch made him feel even more weird. He took a step back and made a few gestures while looking at the mirror.

He was skinny, lean, and had many scars on his body, with bits of muscle hanging on it like ribs.

"Is it a dream?"

Huang Xi became more and more confused, but he felt that the scenes of yesterday were too real.

Especially the chats with Houston, the volleyball games on the beach, the dinners at the Entrepreneurs, and the feeling of stepping into the cool sea water at night.

He only needed to recollect a little to remember everything that happened in the dream, as if it had really happened.

Even when you drink honey water, the sweetness still remains in your mouth.

Having reached this point, is it still just a dream?

Huang Xi shook his head, walked out of the house as usual, and went up the stairs to the top floor.

The stairs were littered with rubble, and except for the fourth floor where he lived, the fifth and sixth floors were empty, obviously having been uninhabited before the disaster.

Fortunately, no one lived there at that time, otherwise Huang Xi wouldn't even be able to find a place to stay.

He came to the stairs, where the green vegetable garden was filled with the breath of life.

Huang Xi smiled, first purged his hands in the bucket in the corner, then picked up a ladle beside him and started watering the plants with water from another bucket.

Soon, he watered the vegetable garden on the roof, and then began to clear the weeds and pests. The sky gradually brightened, and the orange-red sun hung high in the sky.

Huang Xi walked to the low wall and looked into the distance.

On the edge of a ruined city, several fierce wolves were tearing a goat apart.

And further away, there are tigers lurking in the woods and crocodiles living by the water.

In such a big city, there was not a single person except Huang Xi.

"Speaking of which, let's go play that game later."

Huang Xi retracted his gaze, touched his chin and said.

Chapter 014: Akashi's Conflict

NP Sea, TK City, Sakura Port District.

Lush trees spread along the path, and the green branches rustled in the breeze.

Akashi hid in the bedroom, listening to the footsteps approaching in the corridor. His cat ears and tail began to stand on end, and then he trembled.

It's coming. It's coming.

The beige shoji door was suddenly pushed open.

The girl in the black and gold kimono stood quietly at the door, not saying a word.

She has a delicate face and a slim figure. Her long dark brown hair is as smooth as silk, and her slightly narrow red eyes give her a hint of charm.

Especially the fox ears standing high on her head and the furry fox tail behind her make her temperament even more charming.

Akashi shuddered all over, then prostrated himself on the ground, and said sincerely, "Lord Akagi, the experiment has been fully completed, meow."

"I see. Where is the commander now?"

The girl named Akagi walked into the Japanese-style room barefoot and gently closed the shoji door.

Akashi shuddered all over and said hastily, "I, I don't know either, meow. Theoretically, the commander should have appeared in the port area, meow."

"Don't worry." Akagi knelt down behind Akashi and let her rest her head on his thighs. He reached out and stroked her hair. "It's just a failure. It's normal."

She had a gentle smile on her face, as gentle as a Yamato Nadeshiko.

But it was difficult for Akashi to calm down, even though Akagi was a very reliable senior most of the time.

But when it comes to commanders, things can easily get weird.

She pursed her lips, and the figure she saw that night seemed to appear in her mind again.

He immediately shuddered and whispered, "I know, meow."

If I had known this would happen, I would not have told Akagi-sama about the experiment that day.

"But I hope you can quickly find out the reason why this experiment failed and then proceed to the next one." Akagi said gently, his slender fingers brushing through Akashi's green hair.

After the words fell, Akashi, who was a little timid at first, suddenly brightened up and said excitedly, "Actually, I already have an idea about the reason, meow!"

"Oh?"

"That is to say, it is possible that the bond with the commander is not strong enough, which caused the commander to not come over completely, meow!" Akashi jumped up from the ground and said confidently.

Akagi withdrew his hand and nodded gently, "So, do you have any solution?"

"The solution is to conduct a lot of experiments, meow!" Akashi said confidently, "As long as we conduct a lot of experiments, the bond will slowly increase, and then we can bring the Commander to our world, meow."

As she spoke, she nodded, and the ears on her little head shook slightly, as if she was expecting someone's praise.

"Clap clap-"

Akagi clapped his hands and praised gently, "Very good, that's it."

Akashi's pupils shrank as he realized what he had just done.

Why did you say it out loud? Didn’t you plan to tell Akagi?

She felt bitter in her heart, but she dared not show it on her face.

"Then, let's move on to the next experiment quickly, how about today?" Akagi said with a gentle smile.

"Today... today, meow..." Akashi suddenly looked bitter, "It may be too late today, meow."

Akagi didn't seem to care too much, he just smiled and said, "Then let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow will be fine."

"Tomorrow meow..." Akashi didn't point the sky. Even if it was tomorrow, it would be too difficult to gather all the materials needed for the experiment.

She still wanted to refuse.

Chicheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Is it not possible tomorrow?"

Her expression didn't change much from before, and even her words were as gentle as before.

But anyone could feel a dangerous look flash across her face.
