How did I become a villain

【I'm ready. 】Saratoga took a deep breath and said.

She is ready to face the karma in her heart.

In the eight years since the sinking of Lexington, Saratoga has remembered this moment.It has always been her regret that she could not be with her sister in her last moments.Even if Xianghe can be cleared this time, it can only be a remedy after a dead sheep, and nothing more than consolation.

Although she also knew that doing this would not change anything, but if she didn't do this, the depression in her heart would never be resolved.

The three souls insisted on each other, and Griffin said: [Let's go down. 】

With the help of an external light source, Griffin went all the way down, surrounded by darkness and cold. In the area illuminated by the beam of light, the sea water stirred up the air bubbles and brought up the surrounding plankton, so that the light could only be maintained within a few meters.

Some marine creatures were attracted by the light and wanted to get closer to find out, but they couldn't keep up with the falling speed of the light.As the depth of the dive deepened, some glowing creatures could occasionally be seen around the darker than the night sky.Their magical bodies flicker like neon lights, so that it is difficult to tell whether they are creatures on the earth or mechanical life from outer space.

If the seabed at a depth of three to 4000 meters is considered a lush garden, then after more than 5000 meters, there are only sporadic and thin "drought-tolerant" vegetation left here.

The depth of the dive has exceeded 5000 meters, but they still haven't reached the bottom, as if there is an invisible abyss under their feet.He didn't even feel the source of infection from Xianghe.

[Information shows that the Xianghe battle sank in the Mariana Sea, very close to the trench. 】 While diving, Griffin said to Saratoga. [If the wreckage of Xianghe sank into the nearby trench, this may be the reason why we can't sense her. 】

[If that's the case, we have to find out the trenches here one by one. 】Saratoga has nothing to say, it has already reached this point, even if Xianghe is really hiding in the deepest trench, she still has to find him.

Ship mounds are not like living ships, they have no way of escape.

【Of course we will.I just want to warn you in advance that this may take a lot of our time. 】

【……thanks. 】

Griffin smiled. [No need to say thank you, this is what we agreed.You put up with Missouri's joining, and I'll help you find Sister Xianghe.Besides, even if you don't participate, they are the targets of my purification. 】

It is better to deal with the emotional virus that the Zetas put on the earth as soon as possible.

Saratoga nodded slightly and said no more.

The color under his feet gradually changed from pitch black to gray.As the distance gets closer, the gray area gradually becomes larger, spreading to everything below the field of vision.

They're done.

It is not wrong to say that they have reached the bottom of the sea. If the sea trench is not counted, they have only reached the bottom of this sea area.

[My dear, you continue to scan this seabed, I don't want a group of predators like bobbit bugs to suddenly appear in the mud that I can't see. 】

【OK. ] Zeppelin responded, and her consciousness immediately began to release sonar rhythmically centered on the body.

[Saratoga, you are responsible for launching the detection from the horizontal direction. If you sense the echo of a large object, please let me know immediately. 】

【I understand. 】

After assigning tasks to the two ship spirits, Griffin hovered about 50 meters above the seabed, centered on the small hill at his feet, and slowly moved westward, and began to let go of his consciousness, sensing the source of infection from the surroundings.

In the sea map formed in the brain, the girl's action trajectory showed a spiral shape, repeated back and forth, and expanded circle by circle.After confirming that she had searched the surrounding sea area and found nothing, she returned to another unknown area and repeated the above-mentioned behavior.

Until the uneven hilly area under his feet fell down again, and the area ahead became bottomless again.

They have come to the edge of this seabed.

This is the junction of two continental plates. During geological movements, one sinks and the other rises.

[Our detection and sensing range can reach very far. If it is not here, it may be blocked by a plate. 】

Zeppelin asked: [Do you want to continue to descend? 】

After hesitating for a moment, Griffin said: [Let's look again, and search for another hour. If we haven't found it yet, we will go up first and explore tomorrow. 】

Saratoga acquiesced in the decision.

So they chose to continue diving, getting closer and closer to the direction of the trench.

But at this moment, Zeppelin suddenly called out.

[A large amount of black radiation appeared in my perception!They are so close to us! 】

At the same time as she issued an early warning, Griffin and Saratoga also discovered this group of black spots approaching suddenly in their respective sensors.

They are taking on a certain formation, which is conscious matter.

Saratoga was startled by the black dots all over the screen, and then became very angry. [Fleet formation?is it!How did these planes appear at such a close distance! 】

[There is only one answer. ] Griffin calmed down, she lifted her head up. [The other party is in the area we searched just now, it is well hidden, we missed it. 】

They have been trying to scan the area below the level, but ignored the top of the head above the level. The small black dots with extreme emotions suddenly appeared in such a short distance in the perception radar. explain.

In other words, it is likely to have discovered itself in advance!

Volume 254.4: [-] Sister-in-law and the wife next door

The enemy seized the high ground and attacked the low with the high, and the enemy formed a swooping trend.

Griffin was surprised that the opponent not only knew how to hide his existence, but even used tactics to give him an advantage.

The infection source attached to Xianghe's body still has a relatively clear consciousness, which seems to overturn the argument she has always believed that the abyss fragments have no independent will.After all, in the batch of battleships she evolved before, very few of them could think actively. They were eroded at the beginning of their birth, or if they hadn't been consecrated by Gouyu, they would have no consciousness at all.

Could it be that there is a ship spirit in Xianghe itself?

As soon as the girl in the diving state stopped, she immediately pulled away to the side of the cliff.Above the head, those wraiths with unpleasant grievances can already be clearly felt.

[Want to fight me in an air battle? 】Saratoga snorted coldly. [Zeppelin, give me the control of your carrier aircraft, and I will solve it myself. 】

Zeppelin did not say a word, but did what he said.

Under the command of Saratoga, a large number of white light spots rushed towards the swooping black spot.

At the illusory junction, black and white fight together.

Relying on the geographical advantages, the black side achieved good results in the opening game.They turned a blind eye to the direction of the three white balls of one person and two ships. It seemed that they had already made up their minds to deal with these intercepted white spots before attacking the main body.

However, what Xianghe met was not an ordinary opponent.

In addition to being caught off guard by the first wave of offensive and losing one-third of the white spots in the battle, as Zeppelin suffocated another batch of carrier-based aircraft to support the front line and lost the advantage of diving, the battle situation of the two sides Soon evenly matched.

Probably the other party is also very puzzled why the white dots that come to intercept them continue to flow.

The surprise attack had lost its effect, and seeing that the situation of the battle was gradually becoming unfavorable to his own side, Xianghe decisively left a batch of black spots, and the remaining black spots broke through the air defense net and rushed towards the main body where the three balls were located.

[Go away! ] Zeppelin angrily released a full barrage of rockets, and quickly emptied most of the intruders.

Saratoga also took advantage of the opportunity to wipe out the broken troops, and cleared the remaining sporadic remnants.

When Griffin reappeared above the seabed, her perception immediately locked onto a sunken area in the seabed.

[I found it. ] She immediately rushed in that direction.

The first batch of attacks were all wiped out, and Xianghe quickly summoned the second batch to respond to the enemy.These mixtures of undead and mutated parasites poured in overwhelmingly, mixing with the fleet controlled by Saratoga.

A large number of creatures were smashed in this confrontation, and the wraiths were purified.This is a guy who is more difficult to deal with than imagined.

Qi Bailin also didn't care if doing so would make his master dissatisfied. Facing a large number of enemies, he immediately chose to join the battle.First, she repeated the old trick, controlling the power of her soul to launch rockets one after another at the enemy crowd, bombing the enemy team to the ground, and she also manipulated a group of light balls to pounce on the scattered black spots, and one after another. Cleared an area.

There is definitely something wrong with Xianghe, it doesn't passively wait for its patronage like other ship mounds of the United Fleet, but takes the initiative to attack rarely.This alone is enough to prove that it is different from those polluted ships.

It may well have a consciousness of its own.

Griffin hesitated for a moment, then decided to act.

There were more than 1000 to [-] officers and soldiers who died together with the Xianghe. It was not easy to purify these wraiths with the power of the two ship spirits, and she had to deal with most of them.

【It is my prey! 】Noticing that the Griffin was heading in its direction, as if about to hit the Yellow Dragon, Saratoga made a dissatisfied voice.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, at this moment she is already possessed by a demon, and vows to wipe them all out with her own hands.

[I understand, I won't touch it until you think you have completed your revenge. ] The girl explained. [I feel that it is very different from the source of infection we have encountered before, but what is different, I need to get closer to confirm. 】

There is no problem with tactics, IJN is best at ambushes and sneak attacks.But the problem is the gap in strength.Even though Xianghe took advantage of the terrain at the beginning, with the combined force of the three soul balls, he had no choice but to lose.As the released pollutants were cleared by Saratoga, Griffin returned to the seabed on the cliff and locked the target, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.

A huge man-made building gradually emerged from the darkness ahead.

【Xianghe! ] Saratoga yelled bitterly. She manipulated the white ball and rushed towards it, fighting with the second batch of black wraiths that took off again.

As Griffin approached, a large amount of matter floated from the surface of the ship mound again. Most of them were marine creatures living on the hull. At the moment, they were polluted and covered with eyes and teeth. An impenetrable air defense network was formed.

Griffin stirred up the water, washing these mutated creatures over and over again, and at the same time opened up the space, sucking in the extreme consciousness that came with it.

The intensity of the infection on Xianghe's body is rapidly decreasing. From the turbulence formed by extreme thoughts, she seems to have glimpsed a sliver of clarity.

[Xianghe? 】

The girl tried to call its name, and sure enough, she got a response from there.

[Are you... a human? 】Xianghe's intermittent voice was full of doubts. [Why... Humans... can come to the deep sea? 】

And Griffin asked her confusion. [After the ship was sunk, the spirit of the ship should also be dead. Why did you retain consciousness after the sinking? 】

Her doubts were not answered, and as Xianghe let out a shrill scream, the extreme will of chaos and disorder wrapped it up again, and once again launched a desperate assault on Griffin.

Facing the menacing pig-like charge, Griffin just turned up the gear of the vacuuming, and these consciousnesses flooded into his pocket.

With the source of infection removed, Xianghe's consciousness seemed to take over again.It gave out the anguished whine of a grown woman, a voice neither Led Zeppelin nor Saratoga could ignore.

[Is it the same ship spirit as us? ] Zeppelin was surprised. [Why do ship spirits still exist on sunken ships? 】

Saratoga said angrily regardless: [I don't care if it is dead or alive.Even if it is still alive, I will kill it again! 】

【etc. ] Griffin stopped Saratoga, who was about to kill the killer. [I still have something to ask her. 】

The latter glanced at the humans standing in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and finally said in a deep voice: 【...Then hurry up. 】

Volume 254.5: [-] Three Questions

Griffin didn't stop absorbing the extreme consciousness on the ship's mound, she chose to use it with one mind.

[Xianghe, I have a few questions I want to ask you. 】

A gray ship spirit emerged from the sea of ​​consciousness, it looked sluggish and weak.

Pulling away from the extreme consciousness that had troubled him for a long time made it suddenly relaxed, but it could only bring it a moment of peace, followed by endless exhaustion.Xianghe, who realized that his time was running out, heard the other party's voice, and let out a voice that seemed like a spring.

【Three...you can only ask three...】

Griffin also noticed that the other party's consciousness was declining, so he asked the first question: [Are you born by yourself? 】

【My builder, has high hopes for my birth...】

Sure enough, a strong desire and longing can give birth to a ship spirit, which is common in all parts of the world.

Shokaku was born after the London Naval Treaty lapsed, and it was envisioned to surpass its predecessors.Compared with the aircraft carrier in the first and second aviation wars, its birth is close to perfection, and it is a masterpiece.

As long as the desire is strong enough, she can create new ship spirits at will, so the possibility of Strasser being born conscious becomes higher.

But it is such a normal born ship spirit, you actually let it be polluted.

Griffin asked again: "So do you know how to make an unconscious ship halfway become conscious like you?" 】

In order to keep Zeppelin, Griffin and Zeppelin created the same Parseval together, but with the development of subsequent events, they no longer need to make sacrifices in this way.But because the purpose of Parseval's birth was not pure, it has not produced a ship spirit until today. Thinking of the purpose of its birth, it is inevitable to feel guilty.

If possible, Griffin hopes to find a way to "regenerate" it.

She wasn't sure that Xianghe would know this, but she just had the attitude of trying it out.After all, Japan was also a naval power, maybe it can find inspiration from it?

However, she was disappointed.

【I don't know... I was born of hope, you shouldn't ask me this question...】 Xianghe replied.But it doesn't quite kill the word. 【Xuefeng...she should know, she seems to have appeared in the middle...】

snow wind?Was she born halfway?Hearing this familiar name, Griffin slapped his forehead.How could I forget her.

But the memory of elementary school students may not be reliable. It is difficult for her to remember her birth completely, and it is a bit difficult for her to recall.

But it is always good to have a direction to investigate.

Seeing the girl paused for a long time, Xianghe couldn't help urging: 【You still have... one last question... Hurry up...】

Griffin put away his thoughts, looked at the Xianghe in the sea of ​​consciousness whose rotation became slow and was about to dissipate, and was about to ask the question "Why do you still exist after sinking", when Saratoga's voice suddenly passed it on.

The appearance of the other party disrupted the rhythm of the girl.By the time she was about to speak to stop it, it was too late.

【Xianghe, when you and your sister sank my sister together, did you ever regret today? 】

Glancing at Saratoga who was in a rage, Griffin finally took back what he was about to say.

【regret?When you go to the battlefield, you must have the awareness to die at any time... We are all masters, so what is there to regret? 】Saratoga was not satisfied with Xianghe's answer, it continued: 【It's just a pity that I was not sunk by the enemy's aircraft carrier, but died in a sneak attack by a submarine...】

Sneak attack?Hehe, is it embarrassing to say such words from your mouths?Saratoga sneered inwardly.

Griffin thought about it, and she followed the trend and asked: [Since you are dead, why are you still 'alive'?What drives you to continue to exist? 】

Sure enough, this question was not answered by the other party.
