The bear child was roundly curled up in his arms, and he didn't even have to look at me to know that Nana was frightened, so... The joy of regaining it turned bad again, and the eyes that looked at the black-haired xenomorph became even more vicious.

The black-haired man had a cold face, and his posture of looking down condescendingly like a god disappeared without a trace, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but before he could speak, the whole person was swallowed up by the overwhelming magma.

Admiral Akainu Sakasky struck again, and the golden red magma flow splashed without warning, and the black-haired man who had called him to intercept before was like a wax figure, and disappeared without humming.

The 3,000-degree heat scorched the air, the magma liquefied the surface emitted a peculiar scorching smell, and some of it overflowed the river embankment and flowed into the water, and soon a thick water vapor rose from the harbor surrounded by an undercurrent deep in the belly of the mountain.

The field of vision was hazy, and a few lines of silver slid through the depths of the dense fog, accompanied by screams, poignant and short, and then, a breath suddenly flashed between the corners... I subconsciously flipped my wrist and silently plunged the tip of the knife in my hand straight through.

There was a small thud, and the blade hit the obstacle.

After a while, the fog evaporated a little bit, and the vision gradually became clearer, and I blinked my eyes to see clearly who the person who appeared was sacred.

Lieutenant General Dauberman, with his sword/sword in his hand crossed his chest, just blocked the tip of my sword that stabbed him straight to the point.

I was stunned, the corners of my mouth trembled imperceptibly, I thought, uh~ This is an accident, anyone who can't see the surroundings clearly, finds that someone quietly appears nearby, and the first reaction is to stab it with a knife, isn't it?

Then, I found out that I made a mistake, I tried my best to slowly move the tip of the knife innocently, Lieutenant General Dauberman had good intentions (probably), I think this general should not have the idea of taking advantage of the chaos to eradicate dissidents, so ah~

"Sorry, reflex." I gave a reason, smiling and squinting my eyes by the way.

As a result, the other party replied with a smiling expression, and then put the knife into the sheath, and said in a mansheng voice, "Lady Anna's reaction is amazingly fast. After collecting the knife, the hand was still habitually resting on the hilt, and the tone was not salty or light, "Compared to in Mallingford..."

"It doesn't seem to be the time to talk about it now~" Interrupting him halfway through, I looked away, looked around, and finally retracted my gaze and pursed the corners of my mouth, "Leave no one... Is it? ”

Lieutenant General Dauberman did not answer the question, but shrugged his shoulders and walked a few meters away as usual, standing still.

Of course, I didn't expect an answer, because that wasn't a problem, I was just talking to myself... Nothing more.

A port that does not stay in the belly of ———— mountain, in less than a few minutes has been... There were no survivors outside the navy, and the dozen or so waitresses who came to greet them, along with the original young men on the Vermilion Building, all died.

Sweeping over, it was a knife splitting the head...

The corpses fell to the ground, and several bodies in the water were floating and sinking, and the thick smell of blood spread, and the scorching heat after the mixed magma liquefied formed a strange and pungent smell.

There are grease torches inserted in the cave passage, and the higher the top of the cave, the place where the fire does not shine is dark and dark, the light and shadow are half bright and half extinguished, and the two compartments are even more apparent... The scene was eerie.

I tried to raise my gaze, pretending not to squint, not to be pretending to be compassionate, but it was too unappetizing.

The original plan for the fleet to leave Mariinford was to completely destroy the islands where the aliens were entrenched, and Admiral Akainu was fully responsible.

I don't have the compassion to pity any of the creatures on this island, even if... Maybe there are indeed innocent people among them, I just need to save Nana, and the rest, I...

Cold-blooded? This mindset actually varies from person to person, or rather, from position to position.

The black-haired xenos are the enemy, and even if there are really innocent people living on this island, for me... I'll stand idly by, even if it's not innocent, and I'll even be ... Become the combat power of the Navy.

I sympathize with the innocent, who will sympathize with Anna and Nana?

…………

After a while, the navy members who had finished their "movement" scattered to investigate the environment, and the bear child in my arms seemed to have finally recovered his reason from the shock/change, and stumbled his mouth, "You... That..."

Lowering my head, I looked at the bear child who quietly reached out and grabbed my clothes, she stared at me with her eyes, but her expression shrank slightly, I couldn't help but feel distressed, "I'm my mother~ Nana." ”

She was stunned for a few seconds, and then showed an expression that was about to cry, "I'm sorry, I don't remember, what should I do?" As she spoke, the nasal voice in her voice became thicker, and her eyebrows and circles turned red little by little, as she had done when she was a child...

"Mom? Are you a mom? In a soft tone, he wrinkled his face aggrievedly, and apologized while crying over and over again, "I don't remember, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, I just remember." Raising my hand and rubbing her head, I tried to comfort her, as when I was a child, "Mommy doesn't need a child to apologize, I just want you to be okay." ”

Really, as long as you're good, whatever... Never mind.

After rubbing the heart of the bear child's head, I took my hand away, and was thinking about uh~ put on a slightly relaxed expression, so that she wouldn't be so nervous, who knew that the child was directly wrapped around his hands, and I don't know what was misunderstood, she buried her whole face in my neck socket, and the small choked voice quickly turned into a howl, aggrieved... I can't wait... Find that black-haired xenomorph and cut it with a thousand cuts.

Raised his hand to hold the back of the bear child's head, and did not continue to comfort her, I know, because this has been the case since I was a child, it will be good to cry, all grievances and anger, all the compromises that have to be compromised, will disappear after crying.

I know, I understand at a glance, she is frightened and wronged, she must have suffered a lot in recent days, although I don't know how the black-haired xenomorph cheats, but I think... I definitely can't get rid of the same set back then.

Back then... Those who cheated on Anna, my Nana must have too...

Just listen to those words, you can hear it, the brunette man... Shameless thing!

…………

While stroking the crying and trembling bear child unhurriedly, I forcibly pressed the resentment that rose in my heart, turned my face, and looked at the navy who came together, especially Admiral Akainu.

He was holding a telephone snail in his palm at the moment, presumably the battle plan agreed upon before giving orders to the fleet receiving the signal on the other side ———— boarding the Vermilion House ship.

After a coincidental encounter in the Coral Sea of Kumblan, the black-haired alien invited me, and I naturally agreed, but the navy refused to let me leave alone, and then it became like this.

Admiral Akainu and Lieutenant Admiral Dauberman, as well as a dozen generals led by each of them, plus me, and a group of no more than twenty people boarded the ship of the black-haired xenomorph and followed the ship of the Vermilion Building.

The naval fleet, under the full command of Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, followed closely behind.

I don't know if the brunette xenomorph was too arrogant or had other intentions, in short, he didn't care at all about those of us who boarded the ship, or even the naval fleet that was tracking behind.

The Navy's goal is to destroy the island completely, and the black-haired xenomorph should be well aware of this, and strangely he... It seems to be confident.

At first, I thought it was very strange, but when the Vermilion Mansion set sail and saw the situation in the sea area of the route, I probably understood that the ship was sailing in the Netherworld Current, and the route was hidden and strange, and the navy probably couldn't track it.

The last island to arrive at is even more uncertain coordinates, and it is not even known whether it is Seshl or not.

I think some of the reasons why the black-haired xenos have nothing to fear are due to this, right? The naval fleet is isolated from afar, and the people who arrive on this island are fighting alone... That's why the brunette doesn't care.

Of course, I believe that the naval fleet has their own way of tracking this place.

For example, before the operation began, Admiral Akainu handed Major Ronald the life card that was torn in half.

…………

In addition, I don't think the black-haired xenos are so easy to solve, Admiral Akainu's blow to the phantom will not constitute a fatal injury, and it will no longer appear after disappearing, and there must be a follow-up.

The black-haired xenomorph is afraid that he is hiding in the dark and brewing something else... And will shoot soon.

I don't really care about the purpose of the black-haired xenomorph, no matter what he wants to do, it's just a trick, as for the navy... The Navy's goal is to destroy the island completely, and as for how to complete the mission, it is Admiral Akainu's business.

It will only be a matter of time before reinforcements from the naval fleet arrive, and until then...

Hm~

I raised my hand and patted the bear child whose cry was obviously smaller, and when she raised her face with red eyes, I smiled and coaxed her, "Wait a minute, don't stay too far away from me, you know?" There are crispy dried fish to eat~"

"What's that?" She blinked, looking a little confused, but... It must be a conditioned reflex, right? She may not even notice herself, but when she hears the dried fish, the expression on her face becomes (≡≡).

Cute to death! I couldn't help pinching the bear child's cheeks, and then threatened, "If you run away again, the dried fish will be given to the old cat next door to eat~"

"I won't lose it!" She subconsciously put on an unhappy and awkward expression, and immediately reached out and grabbed the corner of my clothes, muttering in her mouth, "I don't like cats, the little dried fish is mine!" Lots and lots of them! ”

"There are many, many of you who are obedient~" I smiled triumphantly, and then saw the bear child who was successfully appeased (abducted) squinted her eyes, and saw that she was still habitually small movements, so my old heart didn't know how comforting it was.

God knows how worried I was, I hadn't had a moment of peace since I couldn't find the bear child, and now that I'm safe, I'm okay.

I don't remember my mother, it doesn't matter, forget her past life, it doesn't matter, as long as she's well...

…………

It was Admiral Akainu who interrupted the happy atmosphere (fog) here.

The man didn't know when he ended the call with the phone snail, walked over and stood less than half a meter away, silently raising his gaze————

Akainu Shogun, who has most of his face hidden under the shadow of the brim of his hat, clearly exudes a kind of ... Impatient affection.

Immediately after, I felt Nana's whole body stiffen, probably because the eyes of the Akainu general were really not good, and my bear child shrunk his shoulders, and slowly tried to hide in my arms without a trace.

So, I was happy with my child's intention to ask for protection, and I said that at this time, it is decisive that adults need to come forward to kill demons, right~

Clearing my throat, I raised my head and looked at Admiral Akainu as I fished out the bear child behind me and smiled with four teeth, "Admiral Sakasky, what should we do next?" ”

Hearing this, this man... The momentum around him really eased a little, although he didn't speak, but the lips that were pursed into a straight line seemed to be slightly curled up by about a centimeter, and he didn't look so indifferent and harsh.

"Depart by boat, join up with the fleet and launch a full-scale attack."

After a while, the man finally opened Chrysostom, and raised his chin as he spoke, and I looked in the direction he signaled, and then saw... The generals who had left not long ago to investigate the situation had already returned.

They gathered around Lieutenant General Dauberman, and the group remained motionless and silent, apparently waiting for the commander's order.

After a short silence, Admiral Akainu said coldly, "Board the ship." When the generals who received the order began to act, he turned his face again, and his voice was very low, "Marshal Sengoku ordered, your safety is the first priority. ”

I don't know if it was because he felt that he had lost his admiral's face without a fight, but before turning around, the man's lips were pursed like a blade, exuding a cold aura.

Of course, I wouldn't care about such small details, because... When I find the bear child, I can't wait to plug in/put on my wings and leave immediately, this island... It really doesn't feel good, and in addition to shuddering, I always feel that deep in my subconscious...

The 'man' imprisoned behind the vine gate was ready to move.

Madness, resentment, hatred, murderous intent... Countless negativity was trying to disintegrate my sanity, making me drop a qiē and go straight to the black-haired xenomorph, dig out his heart, tear his limbs, kill him, and cut him with a thousand knives.

I'd love to, but now it's imperative to take Nana away.

You must ensure the safety of your children first, and then avenge Anna.

…………

I took a deep breath, suppressed the malice in my heart, and took a step towards the ship moored on the shore————

The footsteps just stepped out, and the arms... Or rather, Nana, in my arms, didn't move.

With a sigh in my heart, I hurriedly turned the bear child to face me, and when I looked at it, I immediately gasped, "Nana?!" ”

…………

Nana, she was in a trance at some point, her face was empty, her eyes couldn't see the focus, I approached and shouted to her but she didn't respond, just stared at the air in a daze.

"Nana?" Shouted her name and patted her cheek gently, "Nana! ”

The next moment, the bear child finally reacted, but unfortunately it was not the kind of lucidity I had hoped to see, her sloppy gaze slowly focused, her expression still falling into a nightmare, waved my hand away, and turned stiffly and rigidly towards the passage from the port into the mountainside.

I was stunned for two seconds and then reacted quickly, rushing forward to stop her, but the bear child desperately broke away from my hand, staring straight ahead, and said vaguely over and over again, "Temple-wedding-bride-"

Marry your sister! Who agreed to marry you? Darn! Countless green tendons crackled from my forehead, and while trying to stop the bear child, I crossed out in my heart the compensation for the next year's dried fish.

By the way, once again put that brunette xenomorph at the top of the 'disgusting pervert/pervert blacklist'.

It's clear that this is... Mental manipulation!

That brunette xenomorph! Bastard thing! No wonder there is no fear, and there is a dark line buried in the love! Let my bear child forget jì a qiē, and then hint in her consciousness, so...

Is it really necessary to eliminate the risk factors first?

With a snort, I ———— hesitate for a few seconds before a deep red burst into view.

The man raised his hand and turned his palm into a knife without hesitation. Immediately afterwards, the bear child's back stiffened, and the whole person fell soft in an instant.

Feed! The corners of my mouth twitched, and I saw that the bear child was about to fall into my outstretched hand, and I didn't want another thick arm to cross the ground, and I quickly pulled away the stupid Nana who was knocked out.

Huh?! My arm hung in the air and stiffened for a few seconds, and I coldly squinted at the halfway beard: Lieutenant General Dauberman, suddenly appeared to pick up my bear child, looked at it in his hand a few times, and said in a deep voice, "I was hinted, it seems that I can't go." ”

I glared at him gloomily, but he looked away, "General Sakasky." ”

General Akainu, who had just beaten the bear child in front of his parents, looked at me, and he didn't have a weak heart at all, and asked, "You have activated your ability, how is the situation on this island?" ”

"The island fruit can be lightly perceived."

"Yes." I nodded, looked around, and finally stopped on the cliff on the other side of the river, my eyes narrowed, "The whole mountain is hollow in the belly, in the shape of a beehive, no matter which cave you choose, you will reach the temple." ”

"There are no guards, but there are some traps, along the way...", he hesitated for two seconds, finally sighed, and continued, "There are several dungeons along the way, and people are being held. ”

At this point, I stopped again, stood with a blank face, and said what I knew, and as for the result, of course, it was up to the top person to decide.

Admiral Akainu judged correctly, I did activate the Devil Fruit ability, and within a few minutes of stepping on this island, I had already used the Shima Fruit to transform myself and the island into one.

The interior of the island is like a giant beehive, with many passages, intricate and labyrinthine routes, all exiting to a temple to the central point.

In a few dungeons along the way, I received some food from the ghost clan, which was a human being, and was also imprisoned.

…………

"You don't have to divide your troops, go to the temple." Admiral Akainu quickly turned his gaze away, raised his hand and straightened the brim of his hat, and explained in the same way as to whom, "Completely destroying the enemy is equivalent to salvation." ”

I don't know why, maybe these admirals who came here at the beginning were full of fighting spirit, right? Akainu's voice fell, and the men pounced on the passage to the depths of the mountain with lightning speed.

Lieutenant General Dauberman, however, avoided my intention to take Nana's hand, and the corners of his mouth lifted, and he said with a smile, "I will make sure that this girl is unharmed, and Lady Anna will follow General Sakasky, lest we have no manpower to support us when we encounter the enemy." ”

After speaking, without waiting for me to answer, he carried my bear child and ran far away.

Feed! I kept Erkang's hand, and the whole person was embarrassed.

Then, the outstretched hand fell into the grip of the only man left here,

"Follow me, don't get lost." His tone was cold and serious, but his actions did not match his usual reputation, and he naturally took my wrist and walked as if he were walking.

Because I was too surprised to get stuck in my thinking, I staggered behind Admiral Akainu, and countless dense black lines slowly rose on the back of my head.

How so?

The fingertips buckled on the wrist are rough and dry, and the force is neither light nor heavy, but that's not the point!

The point is... Well ~ no point.

Quietly looked at the burly back of the one step ahead, for a long time, lowered his gaze and stared at the stone slab moving backwards under his feet, pursed the corners of his mouth, and hid all the mess under the stereotyped expression.

I know, I'm just not going to bother.

Admiral Akainu Sakaski, during this voyage, and even earlier, I had already sensed that something was wrong, the Admiral's attitude was very strange, and I was not really dull.

Occasionally, as I did just now, I even took advantage of his little bit to look the other way... Of course, it's just a little bit of use, and I'm not going to bother with it, whether it's Lieutenant General Ghost Spider or General Yellow Ape...

I don't have the heart to deal with the chemistry between men and women for the time being, because my own situation is... Unhappy.

…………

Well~ After thinking about it, I decided to continue to pretend that I didn't know, all the mess, in short, I had to wait until the black-haired xenomorph was completely solved before I could start cleaning it up.

…………

The passage in the belly of the mountain is narrow and dim, and in the semi-confined space, the nose smells nothing but stagnant air, the smoke of burning grease torches, and the dull and desolate smell of sulfur.

Frowning, I began to take in my surroundings as I walked.

The stone walls on both sides reflect the firelight and can't distinguish the specific color, the stone slabs of the passage are flat, and the edges and corners between the gaps are slightly blurred, which can be seen to be old... If this is the place Anna remembers—

"At the bottom of the temple..."

"What is the Northern Xuanwu?"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, their voices mingling, and then, Admiral Akainu turned his head slightly sideways and quickly turned back for a moment, and after a short silence, his voice sounded again, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." ”

I was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't know much." ”

"Does General Sakasky want to hear it? Some of the details may not be true, because..."

I lowered my head and couldn't see the other party's expression as I spoke, and after a while, he whispered, "Too little information before the battle starts is extremely unfavorable to us, and about xenomorphs, even if it is speculation, it may have an unexpected effect in the future." ”

Speculation... With my eyes a little raised, my gaze crossed over to Admiral Akainu and stopped at the people who were some distance away, taking the first step, and after a moment of silence, I tried to organize the scales and half-claws I knew.

Whispering, slowly, thinking and talking————

The memory has long been blurred, after all, many years have passed, and I can't even be sure, if the brunette xenomorph didn't say the name of some impression, of course, I'm just guessing... I can't remember a lot of the plot at all, and I'm afraid of being misled, so I don't even dare to use the tone too surely.

But looking at the reaction of the black-haired xenomorph, I'm afraid I guessed a little right.

At least, his identity name, and that truth.

Ghost clan, I said that I must have seen the scene of sucking anger somewhere, is it the memory of reading comics back then, right?

Canglong in the east, White Tiger in the west, Vermilion Bird in the south, Xuanwu in the north...

The 'Luo Xuan' in the mouth of the black-haired xenomorph should be 'Luo Hu', the name of a dark star that does not exist zài, and the name of the last queen of the ghost clan.

The so-called road to revival is the revival of the ghost clan, the bloodline of the Anna family, the inheritance of the queen of the ghost clan, and the move of the black-haired xenomorph to try to restore the queen's genes, which is similar to the comics I read back then, the infatuated North family patriarch.

It's just that today's black-haired xenomorph behavior is very disgusting, that is, compared to Luo Xuan's husband Kaohsiung in the comics, the black-haired xenomorph is simply a metamorphosis/metamorphosis plus three levels.

So, I think uh~ there must be a difference.

Unless I watched piracy back then, okay~ I thought too much, let's get down to business.

At least a lot of the details are right, just think the black-haired man is Kaohsiung...

…………

"Northern Xuanwu has the ability to manipulate spirits, he once accepted the punishment of Suzaku, cut off his head and immortalize it, unless..."

"Find his head and kill him completely."

Admiral Akainu took the words I hadn't said in a low voice, he stopped, turned around, and his eyes in the depths of the shadows were angry, "Humans have evolved the genes to restrain the ghost race, you are the one who is capable, your daughter is born with a tyrant color, and the queen's bloodline has long been cut off." ”

"Although it is an uncertain factor, as long as it is under the control of the navy, your secrets will not be revealed."
