"Yeah." Su Xin twisted her body to escape from the other party's hands, "I have been wanting to ask you for help before, but I didn't receive your reply."
"Reply? Oh... I was at sea for a long time, there was no signal there, and I just came back. The observer changed the password again, so..."
The Purifier looked a little embarrassed. She couldn't hold her head up high after seeing such a mess in her own home. But cheating people wasn't her strong point, so she felt confident again when she thought of this.
"It's okay. She will be going back soon. She won't stay here for long. This will still be my home then, hehe~"
Su Xin did not ask too many questions. After all, from the observer's perspective, she was actually an outsider, the kind of person who could just go through the motions and leave quickly.
All the previous plans regarding the Sirens were obtained by her from the Purifier. Now that the Observer has appeared, she must have reminded him of it. There is no point in asking again.
"It won't be long, just treat it as a vacation..."
Su Xin didn't want to be the Qi person in the idiom story. After figuring out that the Siren had no intention of targeting her, she felt relieved and was no longer so impatient.
The elevator happened to be descending and passed over the floor, revealing the renovated scene below.
Neatly arranged matte buildings rise from the ground, with windows and balconies. There is also a huge pool in the center of the building.
Su Xin suddenly felt confused about where she was, and she didn't understand the Purifier's magical train of thought.
"...Why would you build a community on the base?"
"You said those boxes are ugly, right?" The Purifier said confidently, leaning against the elevator car. "If they were built to look nicer, maybe they could lure you over."
"Then you have to solve the Internet disconnection problem first." Su Xin leaned on the transparent wall of the elevator and complained while watching.
The community built by the Purifiers was indeed very nice, with complete equipment and facilities. As the elevator descended, the young commander saw more details.
Obviously in the Hengliang base space, there are street lights on both sides of the road in the Executor Community;
They are obviously a group of siren ships that don't need to wash clothes, and there is a public drying area on the roof;
There might even be some fish lost in the pond in the center, because Su Xin saw two or three executors sitting on the shore holding metal sticks tied with ropes, as if they were fishing.
The Purifier hugged his chest and groaned, "How is it? The Siren Community is well built, right?"
"It's really good." Su Xin thought, "I feel like it has shortened the distance between us and made us more down-to-earth."
When the elevator landed, the little conductor, full of curiosity, walked ahead, looking left and right, as if he had entered the Grand View Garden.
She saw a few executors who were probably basking in the light, lying in rocking chairs with their eyes open in a daze.
There were also a few people sitting near the fitness equipment for the elderly, looking at their phones and drinking the milk that was supplied daily at the base.
There were indeed fish in the pond, and the water was very clear, but there was no fishhook or bait at the end of the fishing rope. I guess those sitting there were all Jiang Taigongs.
"Very impressive." Su Xin praised sincerely, "Did it take a long time?"
"Ahahaha that's okay. As long as the Master Purifier takes action, these can be solved in minutes~"
The young commander relaxed and continued to stroll around. The executors seemed quite stupid and did not react when they saw the two people coming. Fortunately, Su Xin herself could not tell who was who, so they did not disturb each other.
"By the way, I thought I would be able to see you at this winter event, so I prepared a lot of snacks. I didn't expect that I couldn't get in touch with you, so the things have been piled up here for a long time."
The executors who were doing their own things suddenly stopped and turned their heads to look over, which scared Su Xin who had just finished speaking.
"...snack?"
"snack…"
"snack…"
Su Xin froze, silently took a step back, and asked in a low voice: "...What happened to them?"
The Purifier's eyes wandered, "Ah... that is... the last ones were paid out a long time ago, so the 'salary' has not been paid for a few months..."
"Didn't I give you a lot? You didn't eat most of it yourself, did you?"
The Purifier's eyes rolled around twice, and then he responded tentatively.
"...Hey?"
Su Xin understood what he meant miraculously. She saw the executors, who looked similar in appearance, standing up and approaching. More and more of them gathered, and some of them even jumped down from their own balconies after hearing the news.
"..."
The young commander took out a box of instant noodles and placed it on the ground. He then bent over and sat down, looking up at the countless pairs of expectant eyes.
"...Can I get in line?"
The observer took a nap and woke up feeling refreshed. She remembered that the "hostage" that she was very interested in was still in the base, so she got up and went out to look for him.
I didn't expect that after walking around, I didn't find anyone on this floor. I could only turn on the surveillance of the entire area and take a look. As a result, I immediately found the most lively scene.
Observers felt it was extremely absurd to see the little commander who seemed to be distributing porridge and charity, and the executors who did not forget to hug the gift bags to express their gratitude after receiving them.
"..Is she really captured by me?"
Chapter 483: Currently available information
"This this…"
Tiancheng lowered his eyes, put away the broken phone, raised his head and looked coldly at the slightly frightened gendarmerie.
His eyes, which were usually gentle and peaceful, became sharp at this moment. "Is there something we don't know about but can access now?"
The ship girl of the Military Police was also confused. She was just a clerk, and H City had never been taken seriously, so she naturally couldn't understand what the observer said.
Besides, as a member of the military police, she was mostly exposed to trivial matters between ship girls. She had never been to the battlefield, and she only learned what an observer looked like during her induction training.
"I...I'm not sure either. I may need to ask our captain first. Please wait a moment. Sorry."
Tiancheng was very anxious after the call was hung up.
For some reason, her commander always seemed to be in trouble. He was either being robbed or kidnapped. Even traveling through time and space was something she had experienced.
But at the same time, Tiancheng also knew that what everyone needed now was not someone who would get anxious with them, but a backbone who could make decisions.
"Calm down first." Tiancheng took a deep breath and glanced at Qingye who was stunned in the crowd. "Since the other party has made a request, Susu should be safe during this period."
"The most important thing right now is to figure out what she wants, and..."
Tian Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Is the official willing to take out that kind of thing?"
As soon as he said that, everyone understood what was going on. Although the little commander disappeared suddenly, if he was in Siren's hands, there would be no need to worry about it. The cooperation between the two sides was actually very clear.
I guess the authorities have something that the Siren wants, so they suddenly did this.
Now it is highly likely that Aoba, who was sent as an undercover agent by the authorities, is also present. Tiancheng said this because he naturally hopes that the other party will pass the news up and reach a conclusion as soon as possible.
After thinking through the key points, the ship girls were still anxious, but they were no longer as panicked as before. Aoba, on the other hand, looked a little solemn.
Fortunately, the subsequent message sent by Su Xin confirmed Tiancheng's guess.
She saw the reply from the young commander through the cracked screen, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She decided who to tell the truth to.
【beep beep】
A middle-aged man sitting behind a solid wood desk looked up at his cell phone which automatically lit up on the table, feeling a little confused. No one should send him an email at this time.
He took a moment to examine himself, then slowly unlocked the phone and opened the email to read its contents.
[1 month 16 day]
[The Siren Observer wants to exchange something with Commander Su, and the other party refers to it as "the thing that guy left for you". The time is five days later. The port ship girl commanded by Commander Su is now seeking help from the H City Military Police. ]
"......call."
The middle-aged man seemed to be amused by the content of the email. He snorted and then laughed out loud, holding his forehead.
"Hehehe...she gave it to me? Don't flatter her. She's just a ship girl. Didn't she just drop the things and run away after failing to withstand the attack?"
“This…” He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, enjoyed the smoke after it entered his lungs, and then slowly exhaled, “It’s called trophy…hahahahahahaha”
"Su Xin? A good candidate."
"But there are good seedlings everywhere. Why should I exchange that for them?"
"It would be best if he could come back alive. If he can't, then there's nothing we can do. After all, he sacrificed himself for humanity."
The middle-aged man looked at the surveillance footage on the computer screen. There were many people in white coats operating and recording outside the glass, and a cube was floating on the booth inside the glass.
A dark cube emitting a faint gray-black light.
"Sacrificing for humanity, Commander Su... should feel honored, right?"
"The Purifier is such an idiot. He always does things without thinking."
"But thanks to her lack of brains, we were able to get such a good bait without any effort..."
The observer glanced at Su Xin who was still distributing snacks to the executors, and smiled with the corners of his lips raised.
"You have a good heart."
"She took in a retired disabled shipgirl, and she came to us from afar. For a piece of [experimental data], she was willing to risk her life to [cross the border] back and forth..."
The observer nodded and repeated, "What a kind heart."
"I just like children like you who have childish ideas. You are so easy to deceive~ Well... I can teach you a lesson~"
After taking a few more glances at the screen, the observer seemed to have lost interest. He turned off the surveillance screen for the entire area and turned back to the room, staring at the light screen in the air with implicit expectation.
"Is it coming soon?"
"It should be coming soon, right?"
"Hehe... You've ruined my good deeds so many times, I have to thank you very much..."
"So fish, take the bait? We have prepared a great gift for you~"
"Oh my~ I'm really looking forward to it..."
"...Not her."
"I found the wrong one again."
[Helena] looked at the shivering woman in front of her, and with a cold face, she loosened her grip on the collar and let her collapse to the ground due to exhaustion.
"I'm sorry." Helena's clear red eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, dim and dull. "It's over. Do you need me to take you back?"
“No… no need, no need…”
The woman on the ground hung her head and shivered, trying to support herself with her hands to push herself back, away from the strange ship girl in front of her who almost killed her just now.
[Helena] couldn't hide her disappointment. She raised her head and looked at the dark and depressing sky through the gap between the buildings on both sides.
The falling raindrops hit her face, nose tip, and corners of her lips. It was cold and biting, and the pain was so severe that she couldn't help but shed tears.
"..."
[Helena] closed her eyes, letting the scalding raindrops slide down from the corners of her eyes, quickly cooling down before finally falling onto the dusty ground and blending with the filth.
"...I can't bear any more disappointment."
She lowered her head and looked at the woman who had moved some distance away. She was soaked by the rain, her long hair was gathered into several strands, and she looked extremely disheveled.
"...perhaps."
"It's time to get into the game and look at the so-called 'key points'."
"...I'm tired."
"It's time... for this to have an ending."
[Helena] opened her eyes half-open, as if she didn't want to look at the woman on the ground anymore, then turned around, tore open a void, and stepped into it without hesitation.
"...Sorry, we won't meet again."
Amid the messy wreckage, a woman put away the strangely shaped giant bow in her hand, against the violent air current that blew up her tattered cloak.
She raised her head, looked at the low clouds that were dyed black by the thick smoke, and frowned slightly.
"...silly child."
"The tragedy is in the past. If we don't seize the time to find a way out..."
"The future...will also be the past.
There seemed to be a strange roar coming from the distance. She didn't even look at it. She raised her hand, pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow. The thin thread of light disappeared in an instant, bringing a deafening explosion in the distance.
"I will give you hope."
She raised her head, her delicate face, pale as blood, spotless.
"Even if it's... false hope."
