Commander Su looked at Zeppelin steadily. Seeing his resolute expression, she held back and swallowed back her words. She simply asked, "...What if they treat you badly in the future?"
"Ah... that depends on which one is bad..." Little Zeppelin wrinkled his face in distress, "Well... I would be very angry, but... I would still help them, after all, they have done me a favor... Yeah, yes, I will continue to help them.
Help them. 99
Little Zeppelin nodded with certainty, "As long as they don't abandon me, I will always do my best to help them, to help the Iron Bloods."
Commander Su pursed his lips and nodded, "I see...it's getting late, I may have to go back."
"Ah... so fast." Little Zeppelin took two steps and then gently hugged Su Xin, "Then... then you should go back quickly and be safe. Although we are parting, you should smile at least... it's not like we will never see each other again."
"...good."
Su Xin tried hard to put on her usual smile, but she couldn't succeed no matter what she did. She had an expressionless face from beginning to end.
"I……"
"Well, forget it." Little Zeppelin interrupted Su Xin's words, "Next time, next time when you come to see me, remember to smile more beautifully, okay? I'll wait for you, then I'll go back first, bye!"
Commander Su opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word as he watched little Zeppelin swiftly jump away.
Helena, who had been following not far behind, slowly appeared, looked at Su Xin, and then asked: "You have no chance now, what is your choice now?"
Su Xin was silent for a long time, then asked her softly: "... Is there no chance?"
"Well, the loss has reached a limit. If you continue, the probability of death is very high. I just want you to make a choice. I will not do anything that endangers your life. At least before you return to the port, you must
is alive. ”
"And before I take you back to the harbor, you have to tell me your choice."
"Do you want to copy the data by force and take her away, or just give up and go back with me?"
Commander Su paused for a moment and asked again, "...Do I have no chance?"
"Don't make me say it again." Helena said impatiently, "Just tell me your choice."
"...let's go back."
"are you sure?"
"Yes." Commander Su nodded. "Whether she is now or in the future, she has no intention of going back with me. Since it is her own choice, I have no right to interfere."
"Really..." [Helena] nodded and opened a hole, "Then let's go back."
Two figures, one in front and one behind, fell out from a hole in the air and stood steadily on the sea.
"...Are we going back?"
"Yes." Helena responded, and added, "But before that, I need to confirm one thing."
Before Commander Su opened his mouth to ask what it was, he was hit on the forehead by the oncoming gun barrel. He fell heavily onto the sea, splashing a large amount of water.
After a successful attack, [Helena] did not seem to stop. After catching up with Commander Su Xiao in three or two steps, she kicked him again with force, and then pressed the hot gun barrel against Su Xin's forehead.
"Look at me." Helena's scarlet eyes stared straight into Commander Su's eyes. "I'm asking you a question. If you answer it wrong, you'll die."
Commander Su was stunned. The sudden change made her a little flustered and she trembled involuntarily. But this reaction was like a needle, piercing Helena, who was as angry as a balloon.
She staggered back two steps as if she had lost her strength, stared at her pale hands in despair, and murmured, "...No."
“It’s not…”
"I'm afraid..."
“It is not the fear that is lost….”
"...I was wrong again."
"..."
Commander Su Xiao was lying on the sea, unwilling to think. He just stared at the relatively clear sky above, in a daze.
Helena, who had calmed down, sighed, took two steps forward and pulled Su Xin up, "...I'm sorry, but I have my reasons...I'll take you back."
"...No need." Commander Su Xiao let the wet clothes stick to his body, "You look anxious, so go first. I also need some time to calm down."
"...good."
After watching Helena leave with a miserable look on her face, Commander Su turned around and dialed a number.
"...Purifier, where are you now?"
Chapter 369 Search
After Commander Su made the call, he found a famous luxury hotel nearby, spent a large amount of money to stay on the top floor, and began to stay indoors.
She thought about taking out her cell phone and reporting her safety to the sisters in the port area, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that they would follow the clues. In addition, she didn't know how long what she wanted to do would take, so she finally gave up the idea.
The previous journey with Helena did not take too much time. In fact, they were rushing most of the time, and it only took a short while to go to another world and come back.
As for why you should stay in a luxury hotel, one reason is that expensive places tend to have more reassuring security and don’t have annoying little problems like poor sound insulation.
Second, it takes some time to locate the Purifier, and now the two of them are too far apart. If they want to see each other quickly, they must rely on the teleportation device.
The device needs to set a target location before use. The more detailed and unique the location given by Commander Su Xiao is, the less workload the purifier will have to do and the shorter the time spent.
The last reason why Su Xiao directed herself was that she needed a quiet place to deal with some problems that arose from crossing boundaries.
This time, Commander Su Xiao followed Helena into the passage four times and passively experienced some changes, both physiological and psychological.
The physiological problem was actually relatively easy to solve. When Commander Su Xiao passed through the passage for the second time, he discovered that he couldn't see anything with his left eye.
But this is just a small matter. While the Purifier is positioning itself, she can use a small wrench-shaped metal piece to restore most of it.
Su Xin only needs to close her left eye, stick the small healing wrench on her eyelid, wait for it to be repaired, and recharge it after the light fades. Doing this a few times will solve the problem. The more tricky things are the changes in other aspects.
When passing through the passage for the first time, Commander Su Xiao could feel that he seemed to have lost something. It was not a very strong feeling, and there was no abrupt turn. It was just that at a certain moment he suddenly realized that he was missing something.
She didn't notice it at first, until she met little Zeppelin, Su Xin guessed it a little, because she found that she seemed unable to smile at that time.
Commander Su could clearly tell that she was really happy to see little Zeppelin again, but this joyful emotion seemed to be trapped in her body, unable to be transmitted or expressed to others.
She seemed to have lost the ability to express her emotions. Although she could still feel happiness, anger, and sadness, only Su Xiaozhi herself knew these.
Simply put, she really became a little paralyzed.
This is actually just a small problem. After all, Commander Su used to have such an expressionless face. Even if he changed back, no one would be unable to accept it.
And speaking of it, Commander Su Xiao was also lucky. He didn't lose anything important. In another process of passing through the hole, he seemed to have gained something. This was obtained when he just checked into the hotel.
answer.
As it was night, when Su Xin just opened the door, the room was pitch black. This made Su Xiaozhi, who was afraid of the dark, subconsciously want to turn on the night vision. Unexpectedly, in a flash, everything in the darkness was clearly visible.
Su Xin was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered her head for fear of being exposed, but she did not feel the cat ears of the ship girl on her head, and there seemed to be no tail swinging around behind her.
This made Commander Su very happy. She hurried into the room, scanned the room in the dark, and after confirming that the privacy was safe, she turned on the light and walked into the hall in two or three steps to start trying.
She found that she seemed to have become more integrated with the ship girl state. Even when she was not in the ship girl state, she could easily summon a short sword, turn on night vision, increase reaction speed, etc.
The ears and tail can also be retracted and extended freely, just like a real Sakura Empire ship girl, which solves a major problem for Commander Su Xiao to hide his identity.
As for other changes, Commander Su Xiao felt that there should be none, because she did not feel anything else during the last crossing, and she probably passed it safely.
After figuring out her gains and losses, Su Xin focused on treating her left eye, repeating the steps of charging-treating-charging until the early morning when she regained her vision.
The extremely sleepy little commander washed up in a hurry, then made his bed and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, after he dozed off for a while, a small light curtain appeared in the air in the room, and then a young girl rushed out from it.
"What's wrong? What happened? What's the matter? Why did you rush to ask Master Purifier to come here?!" The Purifier started looking for someone as soon as he landed, but he found that the girl who called him was actually sleeping on the bed.
died.
She was so angry that she walked to the bed in two or three steps and then raised her hand to lift the quilt. "I ran over here with great difficulty just to see you sleeping?! Why don't you get up and explain it to me!
Commander Su Xiao, who had slept for less than an hour, sat up from the bed with a wooden face and silently stared at the Purifier who had stopped moving and began to feel guilty.
After waking the man up, the Purifier suddenly became timid. He stared at the man's solemn expression for a long while, and finally whispered, "...Are you angry?"
"...No, I'm very touched."
Purifier: ???
"What's wrong?" The Purifier came closer, took a closer look at the commander's fair face, and then touched his forehead, "You don't have a fever..."
Su Xin was indeed very touched. After all, she had only said a word and the Purifier came running all the way over. But business was more important at the moment, so she pushed the Purifier aside and went straight to the point.
"I want to ask you a favor and ask you some questions."
"Huh? That's it? Don't you know how to make a phone call? Do you know what time it is?" The Purifier looked at the little commander who was sitting on the bed and staring at him, and coughed silently, "Well, you can help me if I ask you to? I'm busy, okay?"
The little commander didn't say anything. The Purifier waited for a while and then inexplicably started to get timid again. She looked at the little commander who still had no expression on his face, pondered for a while and asked her: "...Are you moved?"
"...I'm angry."
Purifier: ???
Su Xin knew that the Purifier hadn't seen her for a long time and probably wanted to make some noise, but she really didn't have time at the moment, so she pulled the Purifier to sit on the edge of the bed and then asked directly.
"I want to know about [Helena]."
"Helena?" The Purifier was puzzled. "Why don't you just go back to the port and ask her?"
"I'm talking about META, the embers."
The Purifier paused in his joking manner and became serious for once. "Have you seen her?"
"Yeah, just finished meeting."
"Ah? Is she nearby?" The Purifier looked around nervously, then thought about it and felt relieved. "It doesn't matter. She won't stay for long anyway.
Commander Su was of course very curious about this, "Why? She seems to be looking for something.
"Uh...wait? Did she come to see you?"
Commander Su looked at the surprised Purifier and nodded, "He asked me some questions, then muttered something like 'wrong' and left."
"Oh... It's okay, don't pay attention to her." The Purifier didn't care much, "A person who is surviving on hope... Well, she is indeed good at fighting."
"Since she said you're not, then you probably won't see her again... But then again, since she made the judgment... that means you've also 'crossed the line', right?"
The Purifier frowned as he spoke, "What did you lose? I can heal you physically, but I can't help you with anything else like luck, leadership, etc."
Commander Su paused, then picked a less serious one and said, "The eyesight has been cured now."
"Healed? Oh yeah, you guys can even handle damage control, so healing the wounds shouldn't be a problem."
Su Xin's question was not answered, so she chose to bring the topic back, "You still didn't mention Helena."
"Well... Actually I don't really know. We don't have a very good relationship. I only know that her former commander... seems to be dead?"
"She can enter different time points in various worlds through 'crossing', but the world she is in is not affected by her because she is already a part of that world."
"So she can only go to another world to find someone who meets all the requirements, but I don't think it makes much sense." The Purifier sneered at Helena's move. "It's already this time, why are you still focusing on...
When it comes to love, it’s really stupid.”
"If she's dead, she's dead. It's the most irrational thing to waste time on a dead person. Besides... even if we find someone who looks exactly like her, that person won't be her commander."
"But... since she would look for you, it means that her commander might be very similar to you." The Purifier suddenly became alert. "Did she mention any characteristics? I'll look for them by the way. I can use them as a bargaining chip later."
Commander Su pursed his lips, suppressed the words "lost fear" in his stomach, and then shook his head gently, "I don't know... maybe he looks like me."
Chapter 370 Hope
"All right." The Purifier looked at the slightly white sky outside the window, "She probably won't come back anyway, so don't worry too much. But I'm curious about what you're doing across the border?"
Commander Su calmed down and got down to business: "Ah... That's why I came to you for help."
"Well...you go first."
The little conductor nodded, "It's mainly for little Zeppelin."
The Purifier was stunned when he heard this. "It's the 'number' from before - uh... that kid?"
"Yes, I want to take her back."
"You want me to help you get her out, right?" The Purifier waved his hands to refuse. "No, no, I got scolded when I lost her for no apparent reason before. If I give it to you directly,
, the observer will definitely file a complaint!"
The Purifier paused and continued to dissuade: "And this method will cause chaos, which is not allowed. It's not that I don't want to help you... This is a matter of principle..."
Having said that, Su Xin couldn't force it anymore. She could only settle for the next best thing and asked about the method that Helena had proposed before.
