Pulling open the gate of the town guard's mansion, a cold cool breeze was blowing in the dark night outside, and the street lamp overhead emitted a faint light, stretching the girl's figure and trembling slightly like autumn leaves.

"Welsh, I'm sorry." Jiqi squatted down and sat next to the girl, and the soft voice gradually drifted away in the wind. He knew that Wales and Lexington were just as worried about their own safety, and that they would put themselves in danger in this battle. Otherwise, they would not have objected to their own decision, and even wanted to use exercises to stop themselves. But he knew that one day he would face such a danger, and there was no way to escape.

In a world dominated by the deep sea, the simple desire to survive is a luxury that is difficult for many to achieve. Paca paid the price for his survival, drank the bottle of poison, gained the talent of the Admiral, and stubbornly followed his own path.

Although he has an unparalleled talent, if he continues to waste like this, the final outcome will only be annihilated in this endless deep sea torrent. No one can say that the spread of the deep sea has nothing to do with you, just like that bloody story, you watch someone else's death and don't care, and when you die yourself, you don't care.

"Admiral, you don't need to say sorry to me, you won this exercise and I lost." Wales replied coldly, and she looked up slightly, the orange light shining on her cold face without the slightest smile.

Perhaps, as she imagined, she was afraid to see that scene again, so powerless. So she desperately didn't let this happen, desperately not wanting this fool to get into danger again.

But everything seems to backfire, what can be stopped must be stopped, and what cannot be stopped can never be retained.

"Actually, there is no winning or losing at all in this exercise, I just want you to know that I am no longer the powerless admiral I used to be, and I already have the power to protect you." Jiqi looked up at the sky, the cold wind blew silently in the dark night sky, and the dry fallen leaves slowly fell in the wind, with sadness and helplessness.

"Yes, Admiral, you always say that." Wales chuckled as she ruffled her blonde hair, wisps of green trembling in the wind. "Obviously, you are the one who should be protected the most, but in the end, you have always been paying silently and have never changed."

"Because I am your admiral, I am naturally responsible to you." "The Admiral is the commander of the ship, and he is the one who plays a decisive role in the whole battle, so I have to think twice about every part of the battle and make the right decision. ”

"So in the Admiral's opinion, it was the right decision to go into battle yourself?"

"Well, that's true." Ji Qi nodded, "I have calculated the probability of winning this battle, if I don't go, even if I don't win, it will only be a disastrous victory, after all, I lack the talent blessing of the Admiral, and I am still facing a new deep sea, which is more powerful and cunning than in the past." Therefore, even if I lose the exercise just now, I will use the authority of the Admiral to force you to agree to me to participate in the battle. ”

"So, Admiral, are you going to cheat?" Wales asked stunned, a slight smile on his indifferent face. "Actually, I guessed that you would do this, after all, what you decided, no one can stop, it has been like this from the beginning."

"But now that Wales you are on Admiral's thief ship, it is not so easy to disembark." Jiqi took the girl's hand and held it in his palm. At this moment, the wind outside was howling, but it could not let the warmth in the palm of his hand dissipate.

"Because I never wanted to get off the ship, I just wanted to change the course of your ship." Wales naturally leaned on Jiqi's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

From the first battle, she knew that the young boy in front of her had a determination that did not match his appearance, maybe his personality was very gentle, but once he decided something, he would not give up no matter what.

"But the captain's rudder has already set the direction and cannot be changed." Jiqi rubbed her cheek and smiled, "We can't stop until the ship sails to its final destination." ”

"What if it sails into an endless abyss full of reefs, what are you going to do as a captain?"

"Then the crew will have to disembark in a survival boat." Jiqi said with a shrug and a smile.

"And what about you, the captain who decides the direction?"

"I can only follow the boat to the dark, who called me the captain, since I have decided the wrong direction, I have to bear such consequences."

"You must not have thought about abandoning ship and escaping?" Wales was silent for a long time and muttered.

"No, never." Ji Qi shook his head slightly, "Because from the moment I stepped into the door of the academy, I knew that I might not be able to escape the responsibility of this white navy uniform for the rest of my life, maybe others will say that I am stupid, but I am thinking that people who use strength are not willing to stand up, then there is really no hope in this world." ”

"Packa, you know? It's the assistant of the avant-garde past, the one who sent a boat to pick us up last time. "Jiqi remembered the madman who was willing to give everything for his wishes, and in order to fulfill his wish to slaughter all the deep seas, he used the power of the devil to sprinkle the light of justice in his eyes into the distance." He once told me a story about his teacher, a story about an ordinary priest who died at the hands of the deep sea in order to save his child. He wasn't a powerful superman, he didn't have any absolute authority, he was just a weak old man, but when danger came, he didn't choose to run away, but made what he thought was the right decision. And I have your great talent, and if I huddle in a corner like so many cowards, I will end up with the same death, only a little longer than they do. ”

"So that's why you've decided to go to the front, Admiral." Wales asked.

Although she didn't know what Paca and Jiqi sighed at that time, she could see the sadness and helplessness and a little sympathy in Jiqi's face at that time.

"Sort of, in fact, I don't know what kind of role I play, I obviously don't want to be a savior, but I have to put on the savior coat." Ji Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly, his only wish since he built Wales on the day he graduated was that he hoped that he could live well in such a world with his ship's mother, no matter what intrigue and no matter what strong enemy pressed the situation.

But Paccar's words told him how ridiculous his ideas were. Under the nest, the whole world is occupied by the deep sea, how can your dreams be realized? Especially this attack in the deep sea, Jiqi felt that the end was coming.

If he had failed this time, perhaps the ship would have crashed into a reef and capsized in the depths of the sea, as Wales had said, and no one could escape, including the crew who had hoped to escape in the lifeboat.

Jiqi raised his head and exhaled softly, his inky pupils flashing with the starry sky above his head, and also flashing with a confused light.

It's a little late, and according to the time I get up, the update will be postponed later. Funny continues to ask for a subscription to the collection and recommend the monthly pass as a tip.
