Hello, Arknights

It is said that Chusui is a festival passed down to commemorate the great war launched by the ancient Yan Dynasty to hunt down gods. That bloody battle is known in history as the "Great Hunt".

"Sui" is one of the most ancient and powerful gods, and "Chu Sui" actually means "Year Ending". It is said that this god assisted Dayan in killing and expelling other evil gods, but was finally severely hit by other gods who left and disappeared from the world. Therefore, this festival also means commemorating "Sui".

The above is the historical story that Ling Dengxian learned from the Penguin Logistics members in order to understand the festival similar to the New Year’s Eve in the original world.

As for the Chinese New Year, they are all called the Chinese New Year, there is no difference.

"So what does the god 'Sui' look like?" Ling Dengxian asked curiously while leaning on the back of the chair.

"Hmm... the image that is more popular with the public seems to be 'a body like a mountain, eyes like lightning, breath of wind and thunder, dragon horns and shining scales, winding like a long ridge, leaping like thunder, with a wave of his hand and a move, he can flatten mountains to the ground, and he can do anything in heaven and on earth.' It looks very scary." The Archangel was spinning the swivel chair he was sitting on, and almost fell to the ground in excitement.

"...Then, are those evil gods also like this? Da Yan actually dared to launch such a 'hunt'..."

"I heard that according to the setting, he is weaker than 'Sui'. It's just a legend. Just listen to it as a story." Croissant put down his little account book and interjected.

"I have always taken it seriously." The Archangel said unconvincedly, "There is also a folk saying that this dying god transformed into twelve human fragments and walked the world, waiting for a new future."

Texas was looking at his shopping list and planning what to buy for the afternoon.

"It's getting more and more outrageous..." Ling Dengxian was skeptical. His knowledge of the gods of Ark Terra was limited to the black snake Lao Deng on Tallulah's body, and he was an evil god.

With a light laugh, the sword sings to the sky, and after countless calamities, the soul can speak again.

Ling Dengxian's whole body was shaken, and the three Angels were startled. Sakota hesitated and asked, "Operator White Dove? Are you okay?"

"What's wrong with me?" Ling Dengxian was puzzled.

A drop of liquid fell to the ground. He was startled and felt a wet feeling on his face. Texas said:

"Why are you crying?"

Ling Dengxian touched his face. The tears that he shed unconsciously made him feel unreal. He quickly took out a tissue to wipe his tears: "What's going on? I didn't stay up late, why are my eyes rebelling..."

Then, he was still in doubt, but was hit by the belated emotion, but he felt a sense of calmness in this wave of sadness.

He had a feeling that this would be the last time he would feel such unreasonable sadness.

"Are you going to see a doctor this afternoon?" Croissant asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Maybe I just didn't get enough rest. I'll take a nap later." Ling Dengxian waved his hand and was completely back to normal. He seemed to catch a glimpse of a person in white sitting by the window out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked closely, there was nothing.

"...Could it be haunted?" The more Ling Dengxian thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

"Well, Mostima is here, I'll go pick her up..." Ling Dengxian lowered his head to glance at his cell phone - he was more accustomed to calling it cell phone, and stood up to go out.

Chi Yu, who was standing at his feet, also appeared in front of everyone for the first time today. As long as she didn't show any special characteristics, she didn't arouse much suspicion from them. Only Texas felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with her, probably because they were beastly relatives.

She didn't bother Ling Dengxian's acting and stood up to ask Texas for a hug.

Yes, according to the original schedule, Mostima should come to Longmen today or even tomorrow. Of course, Angelica and the others don't know this either.

So Ling Dengxian had to do this for the Angel of Exiah. Texas helped him cover yesterday and nodded and said, "Angel of Exiah, come and help."

"Well... I originally wanted to pick her up too..." said the Archangel dejectedly.

Sorry, I really can't let you go, after all, she is upstairs now. Ling Dengxian said sorry in his heart, pulled his collar and went out.

"...Why did you come down so soon?" Ling Dengxian immediately closed the door and asked in a low voice after seeing the person outside the door.

"Missed you?" Mostima smiled, and then explained under Ling Dengxian's forced serious gaze, "Give Xiaole... Angelica a surprise. I can't make it seem like I forgot about her, right?"

“Okay…” Ling Dengxian felt as if he had begun to develop antibodies against Mostima’s provocations… Who did this guy learn this from?

After opening the door, Ling Dengxian sighed. After hearing the surprised cry of Archangel Exiah from inside the house, he suddenly felt that since there was no mission today, he should not put the sword back to the dormitory.

"I'm going back to the dormitory."

"Okay." Texas nodded to indicate that he understood, while Mostima was held back by Archangel.

Ling Dengxian walked out of the elevator. Due to the special nature of the double swords, he usually only carried one with him to prevent himself from accidentally holding both swords at the same time and destroying himself and the enemy together. At the moment, he was carrying a white sword whose name he did not know.

Not right.

Ling Dengxian suddenly felt as if there were many steel needles hidden in the air, but the next moment this sense of crisis disappeared, as if it was an illusion. He looked again and saw a certain Liberi in the distance putting away his weapon and looking at him threateningly:

What I said before was not just talk.

Ling Dengxian wiped away the cold sweat on his face. He felt that he almost couldn't help but block it just now...

"I know you are great...I'm not just talking, I'm serious." Ling Dengxian took out the key, turned the handle and opened the door.

The white sword light filled his vision.

"Clang!" A storm-like sound of metal collision shattered the window.

"What's wrong!" Thirty seconds later, Texas, who had entered the dormitory on the fourth floor through the window, was on guard with a sword in hand, but all she saw was Ling Dengxian standing in front of the door with a sword in one hand and a confused look on his face.

"Uh... something seemed to have broken the window just now, and I subconsciously drew my sword to defend myself." Ling Dengxian seemed to be still in a daze. He looked at the broken window and felt a little distressed: "Do I have to pay for the repair of this window myself?"

"...If it's an accident, you can report it." Texas put away his sword, looked around, and reminded: "Let me know if there is anything. Penguin Logistics is sometimes targeted by some rats, so just keep an eye on it."

"I'll go back and tell them first." Rupert turned over and jumped out of the window and crossed two floors back to the Group A dormitory.

"Are you okay?" asked the blue-haired Sakta behind Ling Dengxian. He nodded: "Sorry, I was a little scared and overreacted."

"That's good." Mastema also left.

Ling entered the room, closed the door, pulled a chair over and sat down, and said softly:

"For the sake of me not exposing you, please don't do anything when you come out, okay?"

The door handle of Ling Dengxian's room turned, and the white Luper with red bandages leaned against the wall and shook his head slightly:

"are you an idiot?"
