Hello, Arknights

Ling admitted that he couldn't hold back when he saw Saria working in the coffee shop on the outer ring of Longmen.

And Saria calmly asked if she wanted to invite him in for a drink.

Ling Dengxian chose to quickly finish the order and ran to find Saria, his face solemn: "Is it the Scepter and the Institute that has another experimental subject that ran to Longmen, or is it Rhine Life?"

"Neither." Saria carefully wiped the coffee cup, put it on the counter, closed her eyes and thought for a while, then said:

"I fired my boss and resigned." Saria shook her head.

Ling Dengxian couldn't understand: "Why... Well, even if you quit your job, you shouldn't come to work in a coffee shop, right? With your education level - I guess, you should at least apply for a job at a pharmaceutical company like Rhodes Island, right?"

Saria was a little surprised: "How did you know I was going to Rhodes Island?"

"...So where are you now?"

"I received a notice from Rhodes Island and I'm waiting for someone from Rhodes Island to pick me up. I just arrived at Longmen not long ago." Saria answered every question he asked.

"...Are you alone?" Ling Dengxian said in silence. He still remembered the White-Faced Owl.

"It is now." Saria brought his coffee over.

Ling Dengxian silently took the cup and sat down, and Saria naturally sat opposite him. There were few customers in the store now, and in the quiet air, Saria's eyes made Ling Dengxian a little silent.

"...I originally thought that you would cause trouble to me if we met again." In the end, it was Saria who spoke first.

"...I can still tell the difference, and I haven't forgotten what Ling Xiran said. Let's put things one way or the other. It was she who asked for release, and as for me...I probably still want to be able to defeat you fairly once." Ling Dengxian clenched his fists. His powerlessness on that snowy night always needed an outlet.

"I'm fine anytime." Saria nodded.

"...Not now." Ling Dengxian's mouth twitched.

It is true that he would be stronger now that he has transformed into a demon king than before, but now thinking back on the fact that he was able to inflict damage on this humanoid dragon, it was probably because the other party was eager to end the battle and exchange injuries for injuries.

It's true that the stronger he becomes, the more he can feel the terror of Saria.

"Then where are you going to stay tonight? Is accommodation provided here?" Ling Dengxian changed the subject.

"I brought some money and stayed in a hotel, but it seems that I didn't leave in a hurry enough... I am also thinking about this problem." There was no worry on Saria's face. This woman seemed to be calm at all times.

"...Hey, do you need my help?" Ling Dengxian spread his hands. There was still a vacant room in the dormitory of Penguin Logistics Group B. "We have another room in the dormitory. The boss is very easy to talk to...At most I can advance some money for you. It shouldn't be a problem."

"... Humph." Saria seemed to smile, but the smile did not last long. Then she said seriously, "Are you really willing to help me?"

"Fake." Ling Dengxian suddenly had an idea.

"..."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Ling Dengxian was a little scared by the gaze of the gray-haired Waifan.

"It's time to get off work." Saria and the boss who didn't have a very high presence nodded to indicate that it was time, then took their things and went out one after another with Ling Dengxian.

"... This way." Ling Dengxian was still afraid of the consequences of his previous actions. How the hell did he dare to act so shameless in front of Saria...

"it is good."

Looking at this boy who seemed to be much more lively, Saria couldn't help but blurt out: "I originally wanted to leave you a message."

"Huh?" Ling Dengxian looked back in confusion.

"Remember the feeling of powerlessness today. It will give you the strength to strive for progress." Saria suddenly felt uncomfortable, but she didn't think much about it. Her eyes softened a little. "But it seems you don't need it."

"Well... because there is hope." Ling Dengxian also smiled.

But when Ling Dengxian opened the door of the dormitory with Saria and saw a group of people, he was still stunned.

"I... took the wrong path?"

Time went back to the morning. Lin Yuxia looked at herself in the mirror, thinking about her previous strange reaction. She always felt a sense of incongruity. Just like her father said, she was not like that normally. These days, her father was rectifying the underground forces of Longmen and did not call Ling Dengxian over. She thought that she had to go and apologize.

Although she didn't know why she cared so much about this, she could also treat it as an accident.

But she still felt that it was a bit too much. After all, Ling Dengxian had tried hard to save her in the warehouse, and later it was proved that his guess was correct. There was indeed a problem with the gang inside Longmen.

"Bring something... That guy doesn't seem to need anything... I bought him a bed..." Lin Yuxia looked at the carved award certificate hanging on her wall and sighed:

"Give him a glass sculpture."

When she arrived at Penguin Logistics, there were only Kong who came late and Yisi who was at home as usual in the apartment. After getting permission, she went to the fourth floor. She knew Ling was not there, but she still knocked on the door politely. She wanted to use the key given by Yisi to open the door, but she was confused by the word "I'm coming".

The person who opened the door was Chen, who was resting in the dormitory.

A dragon and a Zarak met in an unexpected situation, and both fell into silence.

"It's you." They both spoke at the same time, neither of them giving each other a good look.

"Are you here to look for Bai Ge?" Chen Guqie invited her in.

"Yes, Ling Dengxian, you should know his name too, right?" Lin Yuxia sat opposite her. Because of their different personalities and areas of responsibilities, the two had not had a good relationship since high school.

"I know, but you should still respect him and call him Bai Ge." Chen picked up the tea and raised his eyebrows. "Please help yourself to the tea."

"So why are you here?" Lin Yuxia narrowed her eyes.

"Work and personal needs. Why? Curious?" Chen took a sip of tea.

"Not interested. By the way, are you guys close? He seems to know the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique."

"Puff - cough cough... What?!" Chen almost sprayed it directly on Lin Yuxia's face. The latter raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh~ You don't know? You have practiced the Chixiao swordsmanship for nearly twenty years, but Bai Ge learned the first two moves in just a few days?"

"...Impossible." Chen was a little bit uncalm.

"My informant told me that he has seen your 'Drawing the Sword' and 'Tears'." Lin Yuxia nodded.

"...I'll ask him." Chen was depressed, very depressed.

“Knock knock knock.” The knock on the door sounded again. Lin Yuxia opened the door and let the empty space come in: “Mr. Yis said he forgot to tell Miss Lin that Officer Chen also lives here… He asked me to come and look after you.”

"...Please feel free to do so." They both said at the same time.

Sora felt that the expressions of these two people were so scary...

Then the living room fell into silence. The three of them sat on their own, literally speechless.

"Ha...haha, well, speaking of which, Miss Lin once taught Senior Bai Ge. So I'm curious about what Miss Lin thinks of him." As expected of Kong! She broke the silence!

"He deserves a beating." Lin Yuxia replied immediately.

“……”Chen Ting wanted to agree.

"But it's very reliable, it should be." Lin Yuxia added objectively.

"As expected of Senior Bai Ge...what a unique personality..." Kong wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled.

Chen also spoke up: "Well, we can be partners. We are very good at observing people's expressions."

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally relaxed a bit, Kong heaved a sigh of relief.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Bai Ge, are you there? I want to tell you something..."

So, Angelica and Sora just sat in the middle and remained speechless.

"Kong...what's going on with these two..." Angel of Power whispered. She came to Ling Dengxian to do her daily routine...

"I don't know either..."

At this moment, the knock on the door sounded again. Before anyone could get up to open the door and turn the key, the blue-haired fallen angel walked in: "Ling Dengxian, I'm back... Wow, hello."

"What's going on? Why doesn't Mostima--" The pink-haired Liberi behind her was also stuck at the door, looking at each other in silence.

"Mastema... over here, over here!" Exia's eyes lit up and he quickly patted the seat next to him.

"Then come in first..." Mostima was startled by the unexpected situation, smiled helplessly, and walked in.

"Should I follow... or just turn around and leave?" Liberi whispered silently.

"Come in first..."

It was only two or three minutes later that the real owner's voice finally came from the corridor: "...But I have a few roommates, but usually there are not many people here so it's quite quiet..."

"I... took the wrong path?"

So Ling Dengxian asked this, he was sure that this was the fourth floor and the key was correct!

"...These...are all your roommates?" Saria raised her eyebrows for the first time.

"...Not all of it..." Ling Dengxian was a little overwhelmed, especially the expressions of Mostima and Lin Yuxia were so wonderful.

"...What are you doing, Bai Ge, have you seen the Archangel..." Texas, who came out of the elevator, chose to remain silent very reasonably.

"Penguin Logistics... Group B dormitory is on the fourth floor. Yes, I'm not wrong! Hello, may I ask your company's... Huh? So many people?" An orange-red figure appeared at the door, and the lively and cheerful atmosphere made Ling Dengxian feel very familiar.

"Flute?!"

"Ah! Xiao Xian! You are here!" Fengpi was very happy, it was worth it that he had been wandering around Longmen for the whole morning.

Lappland in the room said nothing.
