Chapter 432: Mirror Sea

"Where is this?"

Qin Ge looked at the calm sea before him, utterly unable to connect it with the sea before the storm that had just arrived.

Just then, Banrenma reported a strange signal rushing toward Qin Ge's command ship; just as Qin Ge wanted to get Banrenma to clarify what this odd signal was,

A fierce white light appeared before everyone; after the light faded, their eyes recovered, and what they saw was exactly what lay before them.

Not only Qin Ge felt doubtful; even the shipgirls aboard the vessels were filled with doubt.

At that moment, Hao and Fanji, who had been monitoring the storm on the upper deck, returned to the cabin; their faces were grave, indicating they had some understanding of the situation before them.

"Qin Ge Commander, we very likely have arrived at the Mirror Sea," Hao said to Qin Ge, word by word.

"Mirror Sea?" Qin Ge's eyes lit up. "Isn't that the parallel sea space mentioned in the book, alongside the outside sea?"

"Yes, there won't be any other situation," Hao said, nodding.

"But the book says Mirror Sea normally appears in level-five or level-six seas; why would it appear in a level-four sea?"

Moreover, Banrenma had detected a strange signal that came straight for our command ship; could it be that it came specifically to target us?" Qin Ge wondered.

Hao nodded. "It's highly possible. Do you still remember, Commander Qin Ge, when you returned from Shenhua City's level-three sea, the Siren vortex you encountered?"

Qin Ge nodded. "Um, Cai Bu Li came out of that Siren vortex, so Hao means the Sirens have already set their sights on me?"

When Qin Ge said that, all the shipgirls' hearts tightened. Hao then nodded, saying, "It's not just possible; it's inevitable. Your appearance, Commander Qin Ge, has shocked the Nine Major Factions, so it's not out of the question that the Sirens have already learned of your existence."

"Earlier I heard from Sister George that you also took part in the Sakura Empire's battle against the Purifiers; from that time on, you should already have been under Siren surveillance."

Qin Ge nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense. So what should we do now? How can we leave this Mirror Sea?"

Hao said to Qin Ge, "In every known Mirror Sea, there is a main control console, and its location is the Siren stronghold. If we seize that console, we can leave the Mirror Sea."

Qin Ge nodded. "Then could we send a signal to have the outer fleet help us?"

Hao shook his head. "No, the Mirror Sea is an independent space separate from the outside; its barrier has completely blocked signals and electromagnetic waves, so we cannot contact any outer fleet at all."

Now we can only hope to find the Mirror Sea's main control console quickly; otherwise, as time drags on, our supplies will surely run out, and we'll be doomed to die trapped in this Mirror Sea.

Qin Ge wore a solemn expression. "Indeed, as you said, we must immediately locate the Siren stronghold and seize the control console."

At this moment, Qin Ge turned his head and said to Guanghui and Banrenma, "Guanghui, Banrenma, you few aircraft carriers, go into the water now, immediately launch your carrier aircraft, explore how vast this Mirror Sea is, and meanwhile gather information."

"Yes, Commander." Guanghui nodded, together with Banrenma, Fearless, and Du Jiao Shou, they left the command ship at the same time, arrived on the sea surface, began launching their own carrier aircraft, and let the aircraft fly off in different directions.

Watching the departing carrier aircraft, Qin Ge wore a solemn expression, after all this was his first encounter with a Mirror Sea, and he had never dealt with such a situation before.

Beside him, Hao looked at Qin Ge's expression and said, "Qin Ge Commander, in the Mirror Sea only cooperation can get us out smoothly, so I and Fanji will join your command sequence and fight alongside you."

Hearing that Hao and Fanji would join his command sequence, Qin Ge instantly became excited, after all these two are Awakened Shipgirls.

Moreover, unlike Guanghui who has only recently Awakened, these two have been Awakened for a long time; although they are not as strong as Akagi and Kaga, they are still among the faction's top-tier strength.

"Then I thank you here; having your two strengths, I feel much more at ease this time." Qin Ge said to Hao and Fanji.

"Haha, I'm familiar with Qin Ge Commander's leadership; I've always wanted to cooperate with you, but never had the chance. Now that I finally have this opportunity, I will surely follow your orders." Fanji smiled.

"Thank you." Qin Ge said with a smile.

As time passed second by second, the several shipgirls' carrier aircraft detected no abnormalities; the entire Mirror Sea appeared very calm, and seemed to have no end.

"Strange, I've never encountered such an eerie Mirror Sea." Hao said, listening to Guanghui's report.

"Eerie?" Qin Ge wondered.

Hao nodded. "I've encountered many Mirror Seas before, but each had an end, not like now, boundless."

Moreover, Mirror Seas always contain Siren fleets, yet I have never seen such a tranquil Mirror Sea; isn't that strange enough?"

Hearing Hao say that, Qin Ge also furrowed his brow, "Then what should we do now?"

"I think we shouldn't just wait here idle; otherwise, let the carrier shipgirls recall their aircraft, have the command ship keep moving in one direction, activate the ship's carrier radar, to cope with all changes." Hao said to Qin Ge.

Qin Ge nodded. After arriving at the Mirror Sea, to prevent any mishap, Qin Ge had ordered Belfast to already moor the ship on the sea surface, with no movement.

"Then let's do as you say." Qin Ge nodded.

Although the book described the Mirror Sea, Qin Ge had no combat experience in it, so this time he still needed to listen more to Hao and Fanji's opinions.

Thus, Qin Ge immediately notified the several aircraft carrier shipgirls to recall their aircraft, had Belfast get the ship moving again, and proceed forward.

At that moment, in the Siren stronghold within the Pacific sea area, the Observer was smiling while staring at the screen before her, which displayed exactly Qin Ge's command ship.

"Tester, our guests have already begun moving; how is your stage setup?" the Observer smiled.

Beside her, the Tester nodded, "The stage is fully set; we only await the challenger to begin the challenge."

"Hehe, that's great; then let's together anticipate what performance the challenger will show." the Observer smiled, her appearance like that of a cunning fox.
