Chapter 17: Deadly Serpent's Fang
Ibuki, who was deep in the sea, didn't struggle much, and she couldn't resist the effects of negative emotions in the pain of losing Daiho, and the power of resentment eroded her body, her spirit, and her soul. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I'm hungry! I want a sacrifice!! ”
The black mist cleared, and a large snake wound up from Ibuki's waist and hissed menacingly around it. With horns growing on her head, her whole body is snow-white, and her eyes are red, no one would have thought that a once ordinary girl would give birth to such a terrible monster from her heart. It is precisely because it was once as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and because it was once taken care of by pure and kind people, that the giant beast awakened on the corpse of Yoshiko Kanda is powerful enough to deter the low-level deep-sea inhabitants.
"It's so perfect, the Harbor Water Ghost will definitely think of you as a perfect work......"
Shige Saihime didn't have the heart to listen to the praise of the water ghost, she and the snake around her waist looked around, and immediately became impatient, interrupting the water ghost's words. "What about the sacrifices? How dare you snub me!! ”
The serpent opened its bloody mouth, and its scarlet eyes stared at the water spirit. "Where??"
The water demon pointed to Atago who was standing nearby. "This is a sacrifice for you. A heavy cruiser ......"
The serpent slammed into the water spirit, stretching out in front of Atago, "She? Shigemura turned her gaze to Atago, she had some memories of Ibuki, but they weren't the same person anymore. Now she is murderous and brutal.
Atago was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he instinctively wanted to run away, but he couldn't move his legs. "I ...... It's not tasty. Don't eat ......"
The huge snake's head knocked over Atago with a blow, and Heavy Patrol Ji was furious. "How dare you fool me! How can a mere ship girl be qualified! ”
The snake's head rushed towards the empty mother perched ghost unabated, and bit its upper body in one bite. The heavy patrol rooster didn't give the prey he fancied any respite, and the head of the snake directly dragged the empty mother perch to his side, and then strangled it.
The Deep Sea Habitat is an invincible higher creature in front of humans, but in front of Heavy Patrol Habitat Hime, the Empty Mother Habitat is just a nutritious livestock.
After only a few seconds of struggling at the feet of the Heavy Patrol Habitat Hime, the Empty Mother Habitat Ghost stopped moving, and instantly turned into black gas and merged into the Heavy Patrol Habitat Queen's body. "Thank you for your hospitality."
Leaving behind the dumbfounded expulsion of water ghosts and Atago, she walked into the sea, she is the deep sea perch, and the will to worship the great deep sea after being reborn is her instinctive general reaction. As for the partners? She didn't have that concept. If an empty mother perched ghost just now was not enough for her to eat, she would have swallowed and expelled the water ghost by the way.
"First of all, I need to get my hull ...... back"
――――
Kii was walking alone on her way back to her residence after a day's work, when she suddenly noticed a strange premonition, as if something very serious had happened. She immediately activated the shipborne electric reconnaissance group moored in the port and carried out a survey of the entire port.
As a result, she really discovered something amazing - there are at least ten deep-sea submarines lurking at the bottom of Maizuru Port, and although they have no attack ability, their appearance here is definitely not good news.
"I order with the authority of the Daughter of the Deep Sea to leave this sea area immediately."
Kii's coercive orders, which had been tried and tested in the past, did not work this time, and the ten submarines still sank silently on the seabed, motionless.
"What's going on?" Panic grew in his heart, and Kii dropped the document bag in his hand and hurried to the direction of the port. There are many ships moored in Maizuru Port, and if an accident occurs, the consequences are unimaginable.
Because Kii was too panicked, she smashed several concrete floors during her run, and it only took the time it took for the car to reach the place where her ship was moored. There was a deep-sea submarine lurking less than 1,000 meters from her hull, and she couldn't imagine how the enemy would infiltrate the harbor unless there was a traitor in Maizuru Port.
In the dining room inside the ship, Kii explored Gonjun Sato, and she hurried back to the ship in a dinghy. The ship's mother can only exert 100% ability on the ship, and the Kii has a mine for the submarine, and Kii plans to clean up the deep-sea submarine that has mysteriously appeared in the harbor by himself.
Just as she was rushing back to the ship, the waves in Maizuru Port suddenly became turbulent, and the sky was rapidly darkening. On weekdays, these are just normal natural scenes, but Kii will only be more worried today, afraid that her bad premonition will come true.
Kii didn't say hello to the subordinates who came to salute, she went straight to the restaurant, and found that Sato Gonjun was the only way she could think of now.
"Sato-kun! Big things are wrong! ”
Kii rushed into the large dining room in the cabin, bypassed the crew in line, and rushed to the dining table where Sato Gonjun was sitting.
At that time, Gonjun Sato was enjoying his daily navy steak rice bowl, and there was a large bowl of kombu miso soup on the table. With tempura in his mouth, Gonjun Sato was a little surprised that Kii came to find him at this time.
"What's wrong?"
In addition to the commotion, many of the ship's crew turned their attention to Sato Gonjun's corner, and the captain and admiral hurried over, presumably something big had happened.
Kii didn't say it to his face, but pointed to the uneaten tempura on Sato's plate, "There are a few of them." ”
Sato Gonjun's face immediately changed, and he followed Kii to the command room. "Inform the destroyer mother and minesweeper on duty?"
"The minesweeper's weapons aren't powerful enough, and the destroyer girls don't know if they can detect those mysterious intruders, or if I'll clean them up." Kii again used an electric survey to probe the surrounding waters, and eventually the number of deep-sea submarines was 14. Ten were closer to her, and the remaining four were scattered far away. "Sato-kun, what kind of tactic will this be the enemy?"
"How could I have guessed that the refusal of your order must have something to do with the central suspension, she may have continued to order these submarines, so that your orders were instantly overwritten, or made small changes to these deep-sea submarines."
Sato Gonjun vaguely thought of something, but he could only get a vague result, and it seemed that he could guess the premeditated plan of the deep-sea fleet with only a small hint.
Kii had also reequipped the seaplane with an anti-submarine mine, and the pilot had arrived on the plane within ten minutes, ready to take off.
"No matter what graveyard the enemy has, I'll blow up a few deep-sea submarines first. It always feels dangerous to keep them under our noses. ”
Before Kii could switch his gaze to the seaplane, there was a sudden sound of metal grinding in the distance. The two stopped and saw through the round window a scene that shocked them - a heavy cruiser had turned solid black, and the hull armor was melting and deforming. Black oil seeped out of the hull in large quantities, as if the ship was bleeding.
"What's going on? Am I dreaming? Kii couldn't believe what she was seeing, but she already had the answer in her heart, and she knew why something was wrong.
“…… Deep-seaization. Sato's eyes widened, and after a few exclamations, he came to his senses and shouted at Kii. Kii, open fire, sink that heavy cruiser at once! ”
But it was too late, and in just a few seconds, the all-black heavy cruiser "faded" from the black oil stain and turned into pure white. Multiple 8-inch improved twin-mounted main guns slowly floated, and the bridge dissolved into a small ship's structure resembling a radar station.
"The ship...... It's Ibuki...... It's Ibuki! After Kii aimed at the other party, she couldn't help but shed tears, although she had only met Ibuki a few times, but she was very optimistic about the hard-working new heavy cruiser girl. She couldn't believe that the other party would be in the harbor to go deep.
"Something must have gone wrong. I'm going to save Ibuki. Kii lifted the last lock to open the cannon, and she couldn't bear to kill the new shipwreck who joined her team.
"Sink her! Kii! Now only you can put an end to this accident immediately, otherwise I don't know what kind of catastrophe it will become. "Sato Gonjun shouted to Kii, and it doesn't make sense to let Kii save Ibuki who doesn't know where he is, not to mention that the completion of the deep sea means that there are no living people on that ship, and as for the ship's mother, she has probably become a deep-sea dweller." The speed of deep-sea transformation is so fast, which can only prove that Ibuki himself has been deep-sea, and it has been fed back to the hull. A monster like that. There is no possibility of salvation. Sink 'Ibuki' before it's too late. ”
Kii sensed an unknown object swimming towards him at high speed, pushed open the round window, and Kii stuck out his head and clearly saw a white figure with black stripes rushing towards Ibuki against the water.
"I see her...... Ibuki himself, who has been completely deep-seaped..."Kii hesitated and lifted the opening lock of the main gun, and she personally aimed at the original Ibuki's hull. She can't hit a humanoid that moves at high speed, but she can hit a hull that doesn't move.
"Full artillery bombardment, white unidentified ships!"
The gunner and Kii sent the armor-piercing shells into the barrel together, and after the staggered roar, the shells landed on the pure white "Ibuki", and to Kii's surprise, the "Ibuki", which did not look much different, was able to withstand Kii's main gun straddle with armor plates, and only the deck was blown out of some craters by Kii.
[It's too late] Kii also knows the outcome she is about to face, it is already too late, and she can't stop "Ibuki" from turning into a deep sea perch.
"Prepare for the next round of shelling. Crew, be sure to sink that unknown ship here. ”
Kii's order was transmitted to the crew of the combat post through the ship's announcement, and her order could not be questioned, even if many people knew that the original white ship was the Ibuki.
But Kii, who was all focused on the heavy patrol of the Kiihime, forgot about the deep-sea submarines lurking on the seabed, especially after Kii opened fire, those deep-sea submarines came to life, and several ships near Kii floated straight to the bottom of Kii's ship. They can't be combat ships, but the central suki gives them a more important task, as transport ships. Complies with permission restrictions, and is very suitable for this batch of deep-sea submarines modified by harbor water ghosts.
The only one who can stop the heavy patrol is Kii, and the central suhime is very aware of this, so she has already counted the Kii meeting obstruction in the plan and formulated corresponding countermeasures.
