"Okay, then thank you for your hard work." Xiaobai smiled at the Will of the Deep Sea.

"As a way of repaying you, you should find some comics to read, some games to play, and some new music to listen to. It would be best if you also read some books on architecture or something," the Deep Sea Will said. "To be honest, I'm a bit tired of the things in your memories. They need some fresh stuff. Little Red and the others have also hit a roadblock in their construction of wonders. They need some new materials to add inspiration. I can't help with that. In short, you'll have to make up for it in the real world."

Chapter 2417 Lu Ming in Trouble

The demands of the deep-sea will are not excessive.

To put it simply, the Deep Sea Will is just to tell Xiaobai not to always think about being close to ship girls and the Deep Sea, and to occasionally spend some time on other entertainment activities, whether it's games, music, books, or other cultural programs. As long as you can find some material to enrich your spiritual world and add some freshness to it, that's fine.

This job was simple, so Xiaobai took it.

Having bid farewell to the Deep Sea Will and the Deep Sea Taihou, Shiro left the spiritual world and returned to his physical body in the real world.

Xiao Bai spent a rather long time with the will of the deep sea in the spiritual world. When she opened her eyes in bed, the sun outside the window had already sunk heavily below the distant horizon, and the indoor light was dim.

Xiao Bai tidied her hair and walked into the villa's lobby.

The hall was bustling with noise.

The directors of the Deep Sea Academy gathered around the sofa, chatting and watching a TV series. The TV was filled with explosions and exciting music; the series being played was the one starring Lu Ming, a popular drama.

Xiao Bai held onto the stair railing as she walked to the hall and glanced at the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Akagi was skillfully preparing dinner with her sleeves rolled up. Her snow-white arms were wielding a gleaming cleaver, chopping away on the cutting board with a series of thuds. Beside her, Deep Sea Akagi was carrying a basket of washed vegetables, constantly handing them to the cutting board.

The relationship between Deep Sea Akagi and Akagi has become so harmonious.

It's a combination that's somewhat unexpected, yet not entirely surprising...

Xiao Bai muttered to herself without disturbing the two people in the kitchen, and walked behind the sofa.

Behind the sofa was Kaga Fukumi, surrounded by a crowd.

Because she was new to the area, Abyssal Kaga wasn't as outgoing as Abyssal Akagi, so she always seemed out of place. Even when the Abyssal Directors and ship girls were enthusiastically pulling her to watch TV, Abyssal Kaga just sat stiffly in the middle of the group, staring at the TV screen as if on pins and needles. She couldn't understand what was being shown on the screen, as Abyssal Director who had only recently learned about human society. She wanted to leave, but hearing the enthusiastic discussion among the Abyssal Directors around her, she knew what to do.

Fortunately, the torment suffered by Deep Sea Kaga has come to a temporary end.

"Deep Sea Kaga." Xiaobai waved in the direction of Deep Sea Kaga.

As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, Shenhai Kaga, who was in the center of the sofa, perked up her ears and quickly turned her head to look at Xiaobai.

"Come here for a moment." Shiro smiled at Abyssal Kaga.

"!" Kaga Fukami was shocked. As if she had been granted a pardon, she climbed out of the sofa and hurriedly went to Shiro.

"You were with them all afternoon?" Xiaobai asked with a smile, looking at the somewhat dazed Shenhai Kaga.

"Yes." Kaga Fukami nodded quickly.

"Everyone here is a very nice person. You may feel a little awkward at first, but you'll get along well with everyone over time," Xiaobai said to Shenhai Kaga.

"..." A hint of doubt appeared in Kaga's cold gaze.

"Let's go a little further back," Xiaobai said, pointing to a small two-seater sofa at the back of the living room.

"Hmm." Kaga Fukami's eyes were clear.

Shiro led Abyss Kaga to sit on the double sofa.

The villa's living room had many sets of chairs. In addition to the central multi-seater sofa set, there were also many tables, chairs, benches, and small sofas in the hall. When Shiro and Kaga Shinkai sat on the sofa, their thighs were gently pressed together in a relaxed state. A soft and cool sensation traveled through the fabric to Shiro's side.

"Kaga Fukami, I talked to Akagi Fukami about her this afternoon," Shiro said to Kaga Fukami.

"..." Upon hearing the name Akagi Akagi, Kaga's eyes lit up, and he immediately became a focused listener.

“Akagi told me everything that happened to her,” Shiro said regretfully to Kaga. “I’m very sorry for what happened to you. I tried to treat Akagi, but after a preliminary examination, I found that the severity of her injuries was so extreme that I was helpless.”

"..." Kaga's gaze dimmed.

"But I still want to try my best." Shiro coaxed Akagi from the Deep Sea, "In order to feel the story of Akagi from the Deep Sea more clearly, can I ask for your help?"

“Okay.” Kaga Akagi nodded quickly.

"Don't agree so quickly... I haven't even said what favor I need from you yet." Xiaobai smiled, thought for a moment, and said to Deepsea Kaga, "I have a special way to read people's memories—but this ability only works on people with mental power. Therefore, I can't use this ability on Deepsea Akagi, but you and Deepsea Akagi should be together all the time, right? Can you do me a favor and let me see your memories?"

"Okay." Kaga Fukami nodded without hesitation.

"...You should at least hesitate for a moment..." Xiaobai looked at the resolute Deep Sea Kaga and smiled helplessly. "You need to think it over carefully. Giving your memories to someone else to read is unacceptable to many people. Because once you do that, all your privacy, the side you don't want others to see, the mistakes you've made... even your shameful dark history will be laid bare for me to see. Even so, is that alright?"

“Yes, I can.” Kaga Shinkai turned slightly to Shiro, bringing his face close to Shiro’s, his eyes unwavering. “If it can help Akagi Shinkai, I’m willing to do anything.”

“…Alright, it seems I underestimated your feelings for each other.” Xiaobai sighed. After thinking for a moment, she raised a hand and said to Shenhai Kaga, “Then you should lift up your bangs.”

"Hmm." Kaga Fukami raised her bangs with both hands, revealing her fair and smooth forehead.

Xiaobai gently touched Shenhai Kaga's forehead with her finger, and instantly her spiritual power surged out and rushed into Shenhai Kaga's body.

Kaga Fukami groaned, his eyelids rolled back, and he lost consciousness, collapsing into Shiro's arms.

Xiaobai quickly hugged Shenhai Kaga and carefully placed her on the sofa.

"Oh dear, I forgot to mention, the target will probably be unconscious for a while when extracting memories..." Xiaobai muttered, scratching her head and glancing at the sofa surrounded by deep sea creatures. "Hmm... but... given the situation with Deep Sea Kaga, being unconscious for a while now shouldn't be a bad thing... right?"

Xiao Bai let out a long sigh, leaned back on the sofa, and enjoyed the atmosphere in the living room.

Now that Kaga's memories have been extracted, the Deep Sea Will needs about two days to analyze the memory it wants. In the meantime, it has nothing else to do...

What should I do these next couple of days...?

As Xiaobai was thinking, a sound of footsteps approached from behind.

Xiaobai turned around and saw Shenhai Yamato approaching stealthily with his hands behind his back.

"Yamato-neechan? What are you doing?" Shiro asked.

"Huh? Ah... I... I am..." Deep Sea Yamato blushed as Shiro spotted her, frantically pointing around. "I... I saw you and Deep Sea Kaga whispering here, so... I was just curious and wanted to eavesdrop..."

"Oh, I see." Xiaobai smiled, her smile resembling that of Ershan.

Seeing that Shiro wasn't angry, Akagi coughed lightly twice, got up and walked to Shiro's side, curiously looking at the unconscious Akagi Kaga.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong with her?"

"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep." Shiro's body naturally leaned towards Abyssal Yamato.

Deep Sea Yamato instinctively caught Shiro.

Xiaobai rubbed against Shenhai Dahe's ample bosom and took two deep breaths.

"Yamato-neechan's scent smells so good," Shiro said contentedly.

“No, no… Akagi from Deep Sea still smells better.” Yamato from Deep Sea quickly said, “Little White, do you know how clever she was when she was with us this afternoon? She was so worldly-wise and charming. I thought I saw Missouri or Lexington.”

"This is the first time I've heard such high praise from Yamato-neechan."

"Let's stick to the facts." Yamato Fukami said, looking down. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as if he remembered something and he turned to Shiro and said, "Oh, right, Shiro, there's something I've been wanting to tell you."

"Hmm? What's up?"

"It was during the week you were on vacation, about a few days ago," Yamato Fukami said seriously as he released Shiro. "It seems something happened with Miss Shiro."

"Huh? Is that so?" Xiaobai was taken aback. "I talked to her on the phone just a couple of days ago."

"Maybe it happened yesterday?" Yamato Fukami changed his mind again, and then said, "In any case, Ms. Luming's company suddenly canceled a lot of business starting yesterday, and many of the cooperation plans we had previously discussed with her company have also been temporarily put on hold."

"Um... is it possible that Miss Luming is a little busy...?"

“That’s possible… but I feel a little uneasy.” Shenhai Yamato took out his phone and showed it to Xiaobai. “So this afternoon I called Ms. Luming’s official phone number a few times to ask her what happened, and guess what happened? The receptionist there said that the company is operating normally and there has been no problem. All the speculations outside are false. Please don’t spread rumors.”

"Is this statement... strange?" Xiaobai blinked.

"Shiro! Of course! That's a really weird statement!" Yamato Fukami grabbed Shiro's shoulders and started shaking him. "Only someone who's encountered difficulties would so earnestly emphasize that everything is normal on their end!"

Chapter 2418 A Worst Strategy

As Yamato Shinkai spoke, he vigorously shook Shiro.

Xiaobai felt like he was being shaken to his core by the Deep Sea Yamato.

"Oh, I see. That makes sense." Xiaobai quickly reached out and put her hands on Shenhai Yamato's arms, saying to her, "So, Miss Shikamei has really encountered some trouble these past few days?"

"I don't know, but it's very likely!" Yamato Akagi nodded quickly.

"Hmm... in that case..." Xiaobai thought for a while, holding her head. In front of Shenhai Yamato, she took out her phone and opened a social networking app.

When Shenhai Yamato contacted Lu Ming's company before, it was through official channels. If Lu Ming's company really encountered trouble, it's within their ability to handle it. Official channels wouldn't give outsiders like Shenhai Yamato an accurate answer. As for Xiaobai... she had added Lu Ming as a friend on social media before. In this situation, avoiding official channels and asking Lu Ming himself through social media might get her more accurate information.

Xiaobai found Luming's friend on a social media app and clicked into Luming's chat window.

Lu Ming's profile picture is a pretty little white flower, and the system shows that she is online.

Xiao Bai held her phone for a while, then sent Lu Ming a message: "Are you there?"

About two or three minutes have passed.

A beeping sound came from Xiaobai's phone.

Lu Ming replied.

Xiaobai and Shenhai Yamato quickly looked down at their phones, only to see Luming's reply in the chat box: "I'm here."

Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Luming's reply.

"Look, Yamato-neechan, Miss Shikamei replied so quickly!"

"Is the Miss Shikamaru who is replying to us now the real Miss Shikamaru?" Yamato Fukami asked seriously, stroking his chin. "Is it possible that the real Miss Shikamaru is currently being controlled by bad guys, and that someone else is controlling this chat account?"

"Uh...no, it can't be that bad..."

"You have to be careful in everything you do! That's how it's written in all the novels I've read!" Deep Sea Yamato shook Little White again. "Miss Luming is a world-class superstar! There are tons of people in the world who are after her beauty or her money!"

"Alright then, Yamato-neechan, please stop for a moment, let me ask."

Xiao Bai picked up his phone, thought for a moment, and then his fingers started typing rapidly on the screen.

Xiaobai typed, "Would it be convenient to send me a photo now?"

Sent successfully.

After receiving Xiaobai's request, the chat window was silent for a few seconds.

then.

Drop drop!

A photo was sent over.

In the photo, Lu Ming, wearing strawberry cartoon pajamas, stands in front of a full-length mirror with a toothbrush in his mouth, holding his phone up to the mirror.

Lu Ming in the mirror looked like he had just taken a shower; his skin was fair and rosy, his face was pale, and his expression was natural, showing no signs of anything having happened.

"Yamato-neechan, look." Shiro showed her phone screen to Deepsea Yamato. "It should be alright now, right?"

"Hmm... Is it possible that bad people forced Miss Shikamei to take the photos beforehand...?" Yamato Shinkai stared at his phone screen, asking the question with a serious expression.

"……"noob.

Xiaobai felt that Shenhai Yamato must have read a lot of suspense novels during the few days he was away on vacation.

While Xiaobai was pondering how to get Luming to post a few more photos to prove that he had not been kidnapped.

Suddenly, another message arrived on Xiaobai's phone with a beeping sound.

After sending the photo, Lu Ming sent another message a few seconds later in the chat box.

"are you back?"

Xiao Bai blinked as he looked at the screen. Lu Ming was probably referring to his vacation in Peicheng a week ago.

Xiao Bai quickly typed and replied, "I'm back today!"

Lu Ming received a message from Xiao Bai in his chat box and then fell silent for a while.

Drop drop!

"Want to come to my company tomorrow?" Lu Ming sent a message.

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Bai moved her fingers as if possessed and sent a "Okay" message.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow." Lu Ming's message came quickly, accompanied by a cute anime girl cartoon emoticon.

"Does Miss Lu Ming have no schedule tomorrow?" Xiao Bai thought for a moment and typed a message.

"I've been quite free these past few days," Lu Ming replied.

Xiao Bai said "oh," then chatted with Lu Ming for a bit longer while engrossed in her phone screen, before finally bidding a satisfied farewell to Lu Ming online.
