Dedicated to the Book of Cabot

Deep Consciousness

The sound of bubbles bursting filled my ears.

Chi Yuan slightly opened her eyes, but she couldn’t see anything.

It seems that I took a bath for a long time, and then I talked to Cabot… Finally, I collapsed in the bathhouse due to exhaustion.

So after becoming a ship girl, taking a bath is also a high-risk event? Chi Yuan thought a little self-deprecatingly.

The bubbling sound made her feel uncomfortable, but she didn’t care to adjust her bad state.

Because there was a woman who had never seen before.

The woman was suspended in mid-air. The clothes on her body were almost torn and stained with blood. Her long dark red hair was floating, like red dye blooming in the water.

The ship suit on the back is completely unrecognizable, and Chi Yuan can only see the dark red to black painting left on the fragments of her ship suit.

She maintained a falling posture, her pure blue eyes were looking at the distant sky, like a dead person longing for the sky.

Or… She is really dead.

No breathing, no heartbeat, no consciousness. She is a dead person.

This is the ship girl. He fought to the limit on the sea, was smashed into this appearance, and finally slept here.

I vaguely recalled that Cabot said that the sunken ship girls would sleep in deep consciousness, and then wait for someone to wake them up.

Then who will wake her up?

Where did she sink?

Why is she the only one here?

Chi Yuan frowned.

The strangeness of the surrounding environment and physical discomfort were all left behind by her. She took a difficult step and came to the side of the sunken ship with an unknown identity.

This road is too long, too long, and too cold.

The smell of cold sea water, steel, and burnt flesh poured into Chiyuan’s nostrils. She felt that her stomach was churning, but she could not vomit it out.”Are you okay?” Chi Yuan asked, “Is it too cold here? If you can tell me the address, I will ask Cabot to save you.”

Her words made the lifeless woman roll her eyes.

When the other party’s cold blue eyes fell into her line of sight, she realized that these eyes were mechanical.

She may not even know where she is.

But Chi Yuan was unwilling to give up: “I may not be able to do it, but Cabot will definitely be able to save you. She is a super powerful ship girl.”

“Seniors Liaoning and Shandong are also very good, but they can’t come due to their official duties…Anyway, please tell me your location!”

Speaking of which, she felt a little choked up.

Warriors defending human beings, steel-like elves, and immortal warship girls… After they endured the pain beyond death, they could only pray under the surface of the sea for someone to find them and wake them up again.

Soldiers shouldn’t be treated like this…

“Please, please hold on…! Even just for a while! I will definitely let Cabot come to save you! HM Heavy Industries will come to save you, and everyone in country C will come to save you—”

This is just Chi Yuan’s wishful thinking. No one would save a ship girl whose value is not clear when the coordinates are not clear.

This is a promise that will never be fulfilled. To this woman, Chi Yuan has told a big lie.

“Please……”

“…I know, I will stick to it.”

Just when Chi Yuan was trying her best to comfort the woman, the other party showed a relieved smile.

Her voice was mixed with broken mechanical sounds, but it sounded quite familiar. For a moment, Chiyuan couldn’t remember where she heard this voice.

“So please persevere and never give up.”

The woman’s voice became more and more distant, and her body gradually became transparent.

Chi Yuan wanted to reach out to grab her, but it was in vain.

The bubbles began to rise, and the bursting bubbles made Chi Yuan unable to bear back a few steps. In the end, it was not the explosion of the bubbles that sounded in her ears, but the woman’s gratified laughter.

“Please come on, little ship girl.”

The woman’s beautiful eyes were deeply imprinted in Chi Yuan’s mind, and the bursting bubbles quickly heated up, and the surroundings also began to become scorching hot.

What exactly is going on? Chi Yuan just wanted to ask, but found that the sound she made burst with the bubbles, and then dissipated in the water.

It’s dark and quiet here again.

Chi Yuan stared blankly at everything around her. She realized that this was her deep consciousness, but she didn’t know that other people could enter here.

Maybe it’s a ship girl who was asking for help from others in the sea, and happened to run into me…

“I have to tell Cabot…” Just as she was thinking this way, the picture in front of her turned into azure data flow again just like in the morning.

The small planes flew around him, and Cabot’s voice faintly rang in his ears.

She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to call Cabot, but the female voice with a mechanical voice appeared in Chiyuan’s ear at this moment——

“This is the only thing that cannot be said.”

——

“Red kite!”

Opening her eyes, the anxious Cabot was overwhelmed in front of her. She no longer had the indifferent look of the past. This helpless look is so novel.

After seeing Chi Yuan wake up, she was relieved, but she still didn’t relax her vigilance: “Chi Yuan, can you hear me?”

“Ah… what’s the matter with me?” Chi Yuan, who felt her brain was befuddled, squinted her eyes, her originally numb limbs began to warm up, and the numbness spread from her body to her limbs.

She gradually felt that her back was a little cold, and finally she realized that she was lying on the ground.

“You soaked for too long, and you suddenly collapsed in the bath.” Seeing that Chi Yuan was fine, Cabot finally withdrew his flustered expression, and put on a straight face again: “Next time, you can’t come in alone.”

Isn’t this just a good excuse for you? Forget it. Chi Yuan complained silently in her heart, she stretched out her hand and pressed her forehead.

“I just dreamed that a ship’s wife sank. She was on a very cold seabed, where there were no animals, and she just stayed there alone.”

Having said that, Chi Yuan let out a breath, and suddenly felt that her mind was much clearer: “Can I wake her up?”

“…This is just a dream, you haven’t encountered any sunken ship girl.” Cabot stretched out his hand and pulled Chi Yuan up on the floor: “Even in your deep consciousness, you will not encounter any other people.”

So the real feeling is actually a dream?

Chi Yuan couldn’t help frowning.

The smell of steel and blood, the icy sea water, and the frighteningly quiet seabed…

So real, so within reach, but a dream?

Although it is a little difficult to accept from the senses, the fact is that, as Cabot said, it is impossible for people other than yourself to appear in the deep consciousness, so…

That was probably a dream produced by my fear of sinking.
