A figure flashing with blue light appeared in Xiaobai's field of vision.
A foot crackling with azure electricity appeared from outside the field of vision, striking the grenade in the man's hand with pinpoint accuracy.
boom! ! ! !
Sound waves diffuse.
There was a huge noise.
The grenade flew from the man's hand like a cannonball, tracing a straight line like fireworks, and crashed into the ceiling of the warehouse's first floor with a loud bang.
A loud explosion followed.
Bricks and tiles fell from the ceiling, which was more than ten meters high.
"Ahhhhhh my hand, my hand, my hand ahhhhh!" The man's painful screams echoed in Xiaobai's ears. The man, clutching his arm whose five fingers were twisted and turned purplish-black, collapsed onto the water again, screaming in agony.
The man's wails became the only sound in the warehouse.
Little White stares blankly as bricks and tiles fall from the sky.
Xiaobai's attention wasn't drawn to the man's wails; she simply sat up blankly and looked to the side.
Beside Xiaobai, Luming was still in a high-legged position, panting as he looked up at the gap in the ceiling.
That's the force of kicking a grenade up to a ceiling several meters high!
How can humans possess such power?
Xiaobai stared blankly at Luming, her gaze shifting to his face, and then she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Eh?"
Xiao Bai exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, Lu Ming's blue eyes were radiating a bright halo. With her movements, the light in her eyes was like a trailing meteor, leaving blue streaks in the air. Furthermore, layers of distinct blue electricity were swirling around Lu Ming's body. These dense currents covered every inch of Lu Ming's body and crackled with each breath she took.
at the same time.
A familiar aura to Xiaobai was released from Luming's body for the first time.
Upon smelling this scent, Xiaobai shuddered.
"Miss Luming, you..." Xiaobai covered her mouth, "...are you a ship girl??"
Chapter 2446 So you're a ship too!
The aura emanating from Lu Ming at this moment was the same aura of the ship girls that Xiao Bai was most familiar with.
Surprisingly.
Although Xiaobai and Luming have not spent a long time together, it is not short either. Since meeting Luming, Xiaobai has had doubts about Luming's identity. However, every time Xiaobai uses the Admiral Network to secretly investigate Luming's physical condition, the conclusion is always that he is just an ordinary human. As for the aura of a ship girl or the existence of ship equipment, Xiaobai has never sensed it in Luming.
Xiaobai has great trust in his network of admirals.
That's why, after using the Admiral Network to examine Lu Ming's body and confirm her human identity, Xiao Bai never doubted that Lu Ming was human.
Until now.
Xiao Bai stared wide-eyed at Lu Ming, whose body was enveloped in blue electricity.
Lu Ming's eyes, which were trailing blue light, the electric current surging through his body, and the power that had just kicked a grenade into the ceiling more than ten meters high, were all revealing a bloody truth to Xiao Bai from every angle.
So, Miss Shikamei is a ship girl??
The reality before him caught Xiaobai off guard, causing him to momentarily lose his composure.
Under Xiaobai's watchful gaze, Luming slowly lowered his raised right leg.
As Lu Ming moved, the blue electric current that covered her entire body began to slowly dissipate, the blue halo in her eyes subsided, and the aura of the ship girl that filled her body began to thin out.
A few seconds later, Lu Ming returned to his human form.
That kick seemed to have exhausted a lot of Lu Ming's strength. After returning to human form, Lu Ming was panting heavily. She turned her head to look at Xiao Bai, and her eyes showed some fatigue.
Kaga Fukami, carrying the unconscious makeup artist, arrived late at Shiro's side.
Kaga looked at Shikamaru with some confusion for a few moments before turning her gaze to Shiro.
Looking at Shiro sitting on the ground, Kaga Akami did not show any worry. Kaga Akami knew very well that although her admiral looked like a weakling, if a fight really broke out, even a dozen of her might not be able to hurt her. Human grenades were nothing more than popping firecrackers to her.
Rather than worrying about the admiral getting hurt, it's more practical to worry about his clothes.
"Admiral, is everything alright?" Kaga asked, squatting down on the ground.
"I'm fine." Xiaobai grinned at Shenhai Kaga, who had rushed over. "Help me up."
"Hmm." Kaga Shinkai freed one hand and pulled Shiro up from the ground.
Xiao Bai stood up, dusted herself off, and stared intently at Lu Ming.
The atmosphere between Xiaobai and Luming has become quite awkward since Luming revealed her identity as a ship girl.
"Um... Miss Luming." Xiaobai thought for a moment, but couldn't suppress her curiosity. After carefully considering her words, she tentatively spoke to Luming, "You..."
But before Xiaobai could finish speaking...
A man's howl interrupted her speech.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Everyone looked sideways.
The man who was about to pull out a grenade to take Xiaobai down with him was now clutching his arm and howling in pain on the ground. His arm, which had been relatively intact, was now completely bent and swollen after taking a kick from Luming's ship girl, and his five fingers were twisted into a messy state.
His palms and arms were covered in bluish-purple and black, and dark red blood flowed from his cracked fingernails, making him look as if he was in excruciating pain.
Xiaobai frowned as she listened to the man's cursing.
"Kaga Fukami, tell that man to be quiet."
“Okay.” Kaga Fukami carried the makeup artist to the rolling man, raised her foot, and calmly stepped on his neck.
A snap.
The man's neck tilted to the side, his mouth opened, and he fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
Kaga Shinkai acted as if he had done something insignificant, carrying the makeup artist back to Shiro's side.
“He was just… um… a bit noisy,” Xiaobai said to Luming.
“…It’s nothing.” Lu Ming looked up and met Xiao Bai’s eyes. She shook her head. “Compared to the haters, his insults were already very mild.”
"Oh..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek.
Xiaobai and Luming fell into an unspoken silence once again.
The three of them remained silent, standing in the ruins of the hall.
About half a minute later.
The makeup artist, who was lying on the back of the deep-sea Kaga, trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes with a somewhat confused look.
"...Eh...who...who am I? Where am I?"
The makeup artist had just regained consciousness when she saw that the hall had undergone a complete transformation—the once flat cement floor had been turned into large pools of water, in which floated the unconscious, life-or-death figures of the Deep Sea Believers. The scene was terrifying, as if some monster had ravaged the place.
Especially since it feels like I'm being carried on the shoulders of a stranger right now.
"Hey, hey hey hey hey hey?!" the makeup artist exclaimed, struggling to get up. "What happened?! Quick, put me down!"
"Makeup artist, you're awake!" Xiaobai quickly walked up to the makeup artist and smiled at her.
"Huh? You...you're Lu Lin's sister..." The makeup artist stopped struggling the moment she saw Xiao Bai's face.
"Yes, it's me." Xiaobai smiled. "Do you remember what happened?"
"I...I remember..." The makeup artist lowered her head with some difficulty, recalling, "I remember...the people here were going to tie me to a cross...then Little Deer suddenly appeared and saved me, and then they got angry when they saw Little Deer and tried to rush up and beat us...and finally..."
"What happened in the end?" Xiaobai asked.
"I can't remember..." The makeup artist covered her head, looking pained.
"Don't think about it if you can't remember." Xiaobai smiled and patted the makeup artist's hand. The admiral's network extended and began to soothe the makeup artist's emotions. "I just called my ship girl to save us. The scene was probably a bit intense and scared you."
Xiaobai quietly stood in front of the deep-sea Kaga's thigh tattoo, using her body to block the makeup artist's view.
Deep Sea Kaga also very sensibly took out a pair of jeans from her ship equipment space and quickly put them on.
"Oh, I see..." The makeup artist felt the warmth from Xiao Bai's hand, and the confusion in her eyes slowly faded. She nodded gratefully to Xiao Bai, "Thank you, thank you... Sister Lu Lin!"
"No need to thank me. Strictly speaking, it was Miss Luming who saved you." Xiaobai pointed to Luming standing to the side.
"Oh right, Little Deer!" The makeup artist quickly looked in Lu Ming's direction and immediately reached out to grab him. "Little Deer, waaaaah! Thank you so much! I was so scared, thank goodness you came, waaaaah!"
Lu Ming forced himself to smile and gave the makeup artist a good laugh.
When Xiaobai saw Luming smile, she breathed a sigh of relief and then walked up with Shenhai Kaga.
"Miss Luming, let's leave here first," Xiaobai said to Luming. "We can talk about it outside."
"Ah."
"I need to go outside and report a crime anyway."
"Ah."
Xiao Bai and Lu Ming spoke one sentence at a time, and the group walked out through the door on the first floor of the warehouse.
Outside the warehouse on the first floor.
The security guard at the police booth was listlessly watching the vehicles coming and going when he suddenly heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw Xiaobai and his group walking out of the warehouse.
The security guard was taken aback and quickly ran out of the police booth.
"Who are you?! How did you get in here! This is illegal entry..."
"Boom!!!"
Before the security guard could finish speaking, Kaga Fukami raised his hand and punched the guard in the face. The guard screamed, blood spurted from his nose, and he was sent flying like a kite, crashing into the bushes not far away.
The security guard in the bushes struggled and twitched a few times, then quickly fell silent.
"Huh? He was just knocked away??" The makeup artist, who was lying on the back of Deep Sea Kaga, covered her mouth in surprise.
“This person is in cahoots with the people in the warehouse who want to burn you,” Xiaobai explained to the makeup artist. “We’re doing this to make him give up resistance sooner and save everyone’s time.”
"Original, that's how it is..."
Ignoring the security guard who had been knocked away, the group pushed open the iron gate and went outside.
After walking along the wall for more than ten meters, Xiaobai saw Deep Sea Akagi and the other fifteen rescued makeup artists on the road not far away.
The people on the Deep Sea Red City side quickly noticed the presence of Xiaobai and his group.
"Ah! Everyone look! They've been rescued!"
"Little Deer Cry! Little Deer Cry is here too!"
"Lu Lin, over here, over here!!!"
The makeup artists immediately waved their arms at Xiaobai and his group, shouting excitedly.
Akagi looked at Shiro walking over and Lu Ming standing next to Shiro, and was slightly surprised, but quickly showed a gentle smile and walked over to Shiro and the others.
"My lord, you're back." Akagi Shinkai said with a smile.
"Yes, all the prisoners in the warehouse have been dealt with." Xiaobai nodded.
"As expected of our lord, you are as swift as ever."
"I really didn't do anything this time..." Xiaobai smiled awkwardly. She looked at the fifteen makeup artists behind Shenhai Chicheng, thought for a while, and then let out a long sigh. "Anyway... now all the makeup artists have been rescued and the criminals have been dealt with. Chicheng, please help maintain order here. I'll go call the police station and ask them to come and clean up the mess."
"I understand," Akagi Shinkai nodded.
Chapter 2447 Smoke and Fire
The police station in Yuncheng is very efficient.
Just minutes after I called the police station, the clear sound of police sirens began to echo from the end of the street.
A fleet of armed police vehicles, illuminated by red lights, arrived in front of the warehouse. Large numbers of armed special police officers jumped out of the vehicles and quickly surrounded the warehouse, making it impassable.
To Xiaobai's slight surprise, the person who jumped down with the armed police was Director Chen, who was covered in sweat.
As soon as Director Chen jumped out of the police car, he frantically searched for Xiao Bai's figure around. After looking around for a while, he quickly found where Xiao Bai and his group were. Without even saying hello, he rushed towards Xiao Bai's group.
Xiao Bai waved to Director Chen as he ran over.
