Awakening a double from pirates

"why."

Lu Qi finally asked what he wanted to ask most when Xia Nuo was about to step onto the deck.

Xia Nuo turned around and asked, "Why?"

A trace of indescribable fear flashed in Lu Qi's eyes, but it seemed that the torture of this intangible ignorance was better, and in the end he chose to clarify the issue.

Lu Qi took a deep breath and said, "You know that I hate you to the core, so why do you still trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"

But unlike what Lu Qi thought, Xia Nuo looked at Lu Qi with a smile but not a smile: "It doesn't matter, I have never trusted you, so naturally there is no betrayal."

"you!"

In the past few days, Lu Qi was first defeated by Xia Nuo and then tortured to the point of unbearable pain, and then was ruthlessly abandoned by Spangdine.

Even after hearing Spangdain's words outside the door, Lu Qi felt a different kind of emotion toward Xia Nuo. He himself couldn't understand that he hated Xia Nuo so much, but he still had a feeling of admiration and compliance. Mixed in it.

In fact, Xia Nuo can explain Lu Qi's emotion very well, because this emotion has a name.

It is called the Stockholm effect, also known as Stockholm syndrome, or hostage complex or hostage syndrome. It refers to a complex in which the victim develops feelings for the criminal and even helps the criminal in turn.This emotion causes the victim to develop a liking for, dependence on, and even help the offender.

Xia Nuo held down the shoulders of Lu Qi who was stunned and whispered softly: "I'm waiting for you to bring me a surprise. I believe that the surprise I have here will be even more surprising when the time comes."

When Lu Qi raised his head, the navy warship was still floating away from Judiciary Island. He stared blankly at the warship disappearing above the horizon and then clenched his fists.

"No matter what, the most important thing is to strengthen yourself!"

By the time Xiano arrived at the Capital of Seven Waters, it was already the morning of the next day. Before the warship docked, Turner, who was covered in bandages but could still use the Moon Steps, had already jumped onto his ship.

"Xia Nuo, you are finally back."

Xia Nuo patted Turner on the shoulder. As soon as the [Crazy Diamond] emerged behind him, Turner spoke first: "There is no need to treat me anymore. My injury is almost healed. Besides, every treatment will consume a lot of your energy." Right? What the Capital of Seven Waters needs now is a complete rear admiral, not a sick man!"

Seeing Turner's stern expression on Xia Nuo, he knew that something else must have happened besides what Lu Qi had revealed to him. There must not be too much discussion on this matter on this warship with too many people.

So after bidding farewell to the colonel sent by Kuno, the two set foot on Port No. [-] of the Seven Waters Capital together. However, when Shano walked towards the Blue Water Station station, Turner stopped him.

"The blue water station can no longer be restored..."

Xia Nuo let out a long sigh: "I never dared to ask what the casualties of the brothers were in that fire."

Turner fell silent, and his eyes under the bandage burst out with intense hatred: "Almost a third was lost!"

Xia Nuo's eyes were slightly closed, and after a while he spoke again: "It seems that there are others besides CP9 involved, right?"

Turner nodded angrily: "This is not a suitable place to talk, come with me!"

------

When Turner led Xia Nuo to the Hulk Island, Xia Nuo could hardly believe his eyes. It had only been a few days, but the Hulk Island where the wreckage and ruins had been piled up before had become orderly.

And the crowds have not slowed down at all, but are getting stronger.

The main structures of the various buildings are complete, and there are no flaws except wall tiles and decorations.

"This..."

"The residents of the Seven Waters Capital heard that our station was burned down and spontaneously came to build a base for us. That's why we have everything you see today."

Speaking of this, Turner's eyes finally showed a hint of relief. This spontaneous action of civilians is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of their navy!

Even Xia Nuo let out a long breath of awe from his chest and abdomen. He patted Turner hard on the back: "No matter what, we have done nothing wrong. With the support of the people, our team can The navy stationed in the Capital of Seven Waters will be invincible!"

Turner also smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are right! But..."

"but?"

"Did you do this on purpose? I am a wounded person!"

After saying that, Turner punched Xia Nuo in the chest, and Xia Nuo also laughed.

This is good. Turner is still the envious commodore of the Navy Headquarters, an excellent navy and elder who can be trusted and relied on!

And when Shano appeared on Hulk Island, all the workers stopped what they were doing and stared at him, or rather Turner beside him.

"Brigadier General Turner, is this Major General Schiano?"

Turner smiled at his father-in-law who was holding a gavel in his hand: "Yes, he is Major General Xiano, the top leader of our Seven Waters City station."

The old man smiled and nodded: "You are so young, Sir Xia Nuo."

Xia Nuo responded with a smile: "Thank you very much for coming to build a base for our navy."

"No, no, ever since you came to the Capital of Seven Waters, we have been able to go out at night without worrying. The old man has some skills, and they are just used here!"

The other craftsmen around the father-in-law also nodded in greeting: "Yes, Major General Xia Nuo, your arrival in the Capital of Seven Waters has made us feel relieved a lot!"

"Major General Xia Nuo, you saved me with your own hands at that time. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now! So please let us repay the kindness to our heart's content!"

The whole scene became heated for a while. Xia Nuo and Turner managed to escape from it, but immediately another wave of enthusiastic civilians crowded over.

In the end, it was Jack and Wells who saw a commotion in the center of Hulk Island and brought order-maintaining troops to "rescue" them.

"Huh...are the people of the Seven Waters City so enthusiastic..."

Xia Nuo held his knees and panted. It was probably easier for him to fight ten pirate groups than to deal with these enthusiastic people.

On the contrary, Turner looked at ease: "This is the best reward for our hard work over the past few months. There is nothing to complain about."

"Hmph, that's true. I think your name as Brigadier General Turner is probably more useful among the civilians than me."

Turner didn't care at all about Xia Nuo's ridicule: "You are usually like a dragon, but I don't do the work for you on weekdays. Today's situation is completely caused by you."

Seeing Turner mentioning the topic of work, Xia Nuo changed the subject without any expression on his face: "Jack, remember to contact the headquarters. A construction team will arrive in the Seven Waters Capital soon to complete the final work for us. Base repair work.”

Jack was stunned for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. Turner on the side shook his head and was speechless. Xia Nuo had always been a lazy person.

As the highest-ranking general at the station, he has perfectly implemented the [-] rest system. As for who will do the rest of the work?

Is there anyone else besides him, the Commodore of the Navy Headquarters? !
