Chapter 791: Purifiers

As the New Year approached, Gangqu's appearance was also renewed.

When Qin Ge walked through Gangqu, he often saw Donghuang's shipgirls and shipgirls from other factions decorating Gangqu together.

Everyone was very proactive, especially the newly built shipgirls; of course, there was also an unusual figure among them—the Purifiers.

After Qin Ge approved that document that day, Xin ze xi delivered the order to Enterprise, and Enterprise that same day brought the Purifiers back to Gangqu with a patrol squad.

As the document stated, the Purifiers' appearance was far too conspicuous, or perhaps she simply wanted to place herself in such an obvious spot.

The first thing upon arriving at Gangqu was to go find her old friends to play; this left Qin Ge and the Enterprise crew speechless—she really treated this place like her own home…

But since she had come to her own Gangqu, Qin Ge easily intercepted her and asked some questions.

"When I made my appraisal report, it said you'd been loitering outside Gangqu for several days—why didn't you come in, and why did you insist I send someone to fetch you?" Qin Ge asked the Purifiers before him.

"Don't you even know the reason? I'd be crazy to just barge into Gangqu with all those people around." The Purifiers said helplessly, "And whenever I get close, I clearly feel someone has locked onto me; if I dare to move forward, an attack will surely hit me the next second."

Those people aren't something your shipgirls can compare to; if an attack really hit my head, I'd definitely be dead. Although I could switch to another body, the feeling of death is unpleasant.

So only if your shipgirls personally bring me in can I be considered a guest, and then they won't target me.

Qin Ge chuckled, "I thought you feared nothing, but it turns out you do have someone you're afraid of. By the way, you rushed back earlier—is that related to the Arbiter that appeared in the Siren Tide before?"

"Well, there is some relation—the experiment we expected changed; it was originally our responsibility, but after the Arbiter arrived, everything was handed over to them." The Purifiers said.

"Alright, but since you're with the Arbiter, why weren't you seen in this offensive—only mass-produced types and elite units?" Qin Ge asked.

"Haven't they told you? We're actually research personnel belonging to the Research Institute, while the Arbiters belong to the Combat Department and have higher authority over combat experiments. So whether it's the mass-produced units we prepared or some elite units, we handed them all over to the Arbiters."

I think if you just think about it carefully, you'll see that aside from the Arbiters and their Executors, there's basically nothing that can pose a crisis to the Nine Major Factions.

"But with their involvement, the battle situation would change instantly—this fight shouldn't have involved you, yet their appearance and activity still made them notice this world." The Purifiers said.

"That's true—when we first encountered the Arbiters, they outright refused to fight us." Qin Ge recalled the first time he met the Arbiters in the Guandao sea area.

"So what are you doing here this time? Just playing around?" Qin Ge asked.

"There's also a mission." The Purifiers looked at Qin Ge and said, "To provide some help for your research, such as research shipgirls."

Qin Ge's eyes narrowed, "Is this the Observer's intention, or yours from the Research Institute, or perhaps the Sirens'?"

"Don't be so suspicious—aside from your original Monarch, all the research shipgirl blueprints in your Gangqu are provided by us, right?" The Purifiers said.

"Your body holds a certain potential, and our experiment's purpose is to find that potential, so sometimes we may be enemies, but sometimes we can also achieve cooperation."

"You have your mission, and we have ours; although the processes differ, the results converge. I believe they've already told you this, so I don't need to explain much—plus it's troublesome, and I'm too lazy to do so."

"Tsk, you seem much more rational this time—are you sure you're not deceiving me?" Qin Ge wondered.

"We are the Research Institute, after all—and how do you think my former self was the real me?" The Purifiers looked at Qin Ge, smiled, and then said, "Have you thought it through? If not, I'll go play first; come find me when you've decided."

Qin Ge's forehead showed some black lines; he admitted he had been mistaken before—the Purifiers were still the Purifiers, unchanged at all.

"Didn't you say you'd support our research? Then go support it now." Qin Ge said.

"What's the rush? Anyway, there's plenty of time; I'll talk after I've had enough fun." The Purifiers said.

"Well, in some ways you really deserve a beating." Qin Ge sighed, "So for now, let's leave it at that; after the New Year, hurry up and support me—research the research blueprints; if you don't, I'll have Hai Lun Na and Flying Dragon blast you away."

"Tsk, you're really boring, but fine—let's talk after the New Year. Like this, I'm off to play; if anything comes up, just give me a shout. Goodbye."

After the Purifiers finished speaking, they dashed off without stopping, leaving Qin Ge alone sitting where he was, watching their retreating back, somewhat speechless.

After a while, Qin Ge told these things to several faction leaders and advisory shipgirls, but their answers varied.

"I'm afraid our Gangqu will become the vortex of this world, and what the Purifiers said is correct—Yujin and they indeed share a similar goal in some sense, but there's a huge disagreement on how to achieve it." Zhenhai said.

"Perhaps time will tell us everything; our plans shouldn't be made too far ahead—just focus on strengthening ourselves so we can stand firm in future major events. That's what we should do now, my liege." Tiancheng smiled.

"Are they coming to guide the development of research shipgirls? Heh, that's actually good—this world has never had eternal enemies or eternal friends; we always act for mutual benefit." Bisimai said.

"No matter what happens, the Royal forever is a sword in the commander's hand—your will is where our blade points. Moreover, we will also participate in the design of research ships, striving to fully enhance Gangqu's strength." King George V said.

"All White Eagle warriors fear nothing; no matter the enemy's schemes, we will destroy them—for the freedom of the Azure Lanes." Enterprise said as such.
