Hello, Arknights

"A street thief?" Shi Huaiya in the ward was surprised to see someone. The person came with a basket of fruits and knocked on the door when she was looking through the documents.

"How did you come?"

"I'm leaving Longmen because of something. Officer Shi Huaiya, you're in the hospital again, so I have to come and see you, right?" Ling Dengxian put down the fruit and sighed when he saw her pale face. "Leader, why did you have to get entangled with him and end up like this..."

"I'm so sorry that I was killed in an instant." Shi Huaiya tried to keep smiling, silently telling herself not to be angry, "Forget it, you still have some conscience and came to see me."

"By the way, you said you wanted to leave. Where are you going? Penguin Logistics Outsourcing?" Shi Huaiya didn't bother to be polite with him. She reached out and took a banana and started eating.

"No... I want to go to Ursus." Ling Dengxian's voice was not loud but firm.

"Cough! Cough cough... Where are you talking about?!" Shi Huaiya almost choked, and then glared at him, "Do you know what the attitude is towards the infected there?!"

"Sure enough...Officer Shi Huaiya, you all know about my situation..." Ling Dengxian shook his head and put the matter aside.

"I know, leader, I probably won't be back in the short term, so I came here today to ask you a favor... Please pay more attention to the reform of the Lower City District." Ling Dengxian took a deep breath and requested earnestly.

"You guy! Are you listening to me?! That's Ursus! The country with the worst attitude towards infected people in all of Terra. If you go there, you may not be able to come back in the short term, but you may never come back in your entire life!" Shi Huaiya felt that this kid didn't know his place and wanted to run into things everywhere.

"Shi Huaiya, I know everything," the young man closed his eyes and smiled, "but I still have to go, for... a better future."

Shi Huaiya originally wanted to continue to be angry, but when she saw the look in his eyes when he opened his eyes again, she was sure that he was serious and she had no place to vent her anger.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and calmed down, looking at him with her emerald green eyes: "Ling Dengxian, listen to me carefully, it is a foregone conclusion that Chief Wei will take charge of the Longmen reform, but there are too many variables. If you want to ensure that this goes smoothly, then hurry up and get back to me after you finish your work! I don't have so much free time to help you keep an eye on it... *Longmen swears* I accepted your basket of fruit and added a bunch of troubles..."

"Okay, Sir Shijing!" Ling Dengxian smiled brightly.

"My last name is Shi Huaiya, not Shi!!"

Ling Dengxian fled from Shi Huaiya's VIP ward in a panic, but with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry, boss, but I trust you to do the job."

It was Shi Huaiya's instruction that the nine men took action.

Shi Huaiya sat back on the hospital bed angrily, but found that her external injuries seemed to have improved a lot... "When I was talking just now, it seemed that there was a flash of white light..." Shi Huaiya was careful and recalled the previous details.

"Hmph, this kid... huh?" Shi Huaiya caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and saw that there seemed to be something other than fruit in the fruit basket.

"Police ID?"

Picking up the food placed at the door of the ward, Ling Dengxian walked out of the hospital briskly, and then the communication terminal rang.

"Poetry Police Sir?"

"Ling Dengxian! I tell you, I'm willing to help you, but you want to quit the Guard Bureau?!" Feilin's roar made Ling Dengxian's heart tremble with fear.

"Sir Shijing, don't be angry. I forgot my things at your place. Please keep them for me. I will ask you for them when I come back."

"You bastard...I've made a note of it!"

After hanging up the phone, Shi Huaiya immediately called another person.

Ling Dengxian was quite happy that he had solved a problem, until he saw a white figure in the dormitory corridor holding a knife and waiting for him with a smile.

"Sister, let's talk it out..." Ling Dengxian quickly gave in.

"No... I just happened to be thinking that it's been a while since I bothered you... It just happened to be a good time." Lappland smiled at him kindly, "Choose a place by yourself, in the dormitory or outside?"

"Can... can we eat first and talk about it later?" Ling Dengxian deeply regretted that he had done something stupid and had brought disaster upon himself.

Laplande didn’t have as good a temper as Saria, so she smiled and said, “Give me a reason.”

"I want to discuss something with you while we eat..."

"Or we can talk while fighting later." White Wolf drew his sword decisively.

"Let me get the sword first!" Ling Dengxian ran away in panic.

Unfortunately, this time Lapland's desire for revenge was greater than his desire for tempering, so it was exactly what she wanted.

ten minutes later.

Lapland sat on Ling Dengxian's back with her arms and legs spread out, pondering the suggestion Ling Dengxian had made to her:

"Let me stay at Penguin Logistics for you? You're so bold."

"So what do you think?" Ling Dengxian cared more about Lappland's choice than being beaten up.

"Why do you want me to stay in Penguin Logistics?" Lapland asked curiously.

"The emperor is a very nice person. You have been wandering for so long, so please be a little nicer to yourself..." Ling Dengxian's words made Lappland pause, and then he smiled after a moment.

"Are you sympathizing with me? Hahaha... I don't need such a rest, I just need to sharpen myself to become stronger——"

"You can also look for the reasons why Texas has become like this at Penguin Logistics." Ling Dengxian threw out the key words. He could see what Lapland cared about more.

"Or, get to know her better."

"……what?"

"Think about it? If you agree that you don't have to pay me back..."

"You're still thinking about it!"

"You can get paid, and there's an empty room in our dormitory, so you have a lot of freedom. Save some money and don't break my bed next time or I'll ask you to pay it back—"

"clang!" Seeing the sword stuck in front of him, Ling Dengxian obediently shut his mouth.

"Maybe you are right... But I am infected, and my identity is special, so I may not be -"

"Mr. Emperor is not an ordinary person." Ling Dengxian said with a smile.

"...Would you like to submit your resume?" Lappland finally nodded, stood up and let him go, indicating that she was willing to give it a try.

The boy finished the last arrangement and felt relieved.

The next day, Ling Dengxian spent the whole day making final preparations.

His chest was still aching slightly. Wei Yanwu's sword had injured his internal organs. It would take at least several days to heal the internal injuries. Ling Dengxian had only rested for a day, and his face was still a little pale.

The orange sunset flew into the corridor. He dragged his luggage, called Chi Yu, stepped out of the door, and looked back at the dormitory. Everything that needed to be packed was packed, and Lapland went to go through the procedures. It was indeed smooth. The empty dormitory seemed a little deserted. Mostima didn't know when she would come back next time. She and Lapland had hardly met. She always came and went in a hurry and didn't live there often. When he first moved in, he had spent a long time cleaning... He really didn't want to leave.

The Devouring Sin and its fragments were recovered by the Longmen Guards and put into the scabbard and returned to them. Ling Dengxian still took it and the white sword with him.

He had been with the two swords for a long time and could vaguely feel that they were very important to him.

So, who sent them to him?

He slowly closed the door and sorted out his mood. The war in the distance was about to break out, so there was no need to hesitate. Holding the key, Ling Dengxian turned around and saw a penguin.

"Boss?" Ling Dengxian asked in surprise, "I was just looking for you—"

"If it's about returning the key, then forget it. If you want to go to Ursus, I won't stop you, but you are still a member of Penguin Logistics. Promise me that you will come back alive!" The emperor did not interfere with his decision. "You are very interesting and brave. You dare to take Wei Yanwu's sword. I haven't seen Wei Laoer show such an expression for a long time, except that he can't drink."

"Looking at your situation, I wanted to transfer you to Group A, but you seem to be more adapted to Group B life."

"But I still have to go."

"I know," the emperor waved his flippers, "you have your reasons, but I still say that you keep the key and just think of it as a long-distance mission like Mostima. Of course, don't think about the salary."

"Penguin Logistics can afford to lose a key, but it's rare to find such an interesting young man."

The young man code-named Bai Ge scratched his head embarrassedly. At this moment, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. He signaled Chi Yu to get off the suitcase.

The emperor looked at him in confusion as he opened his suitcase, took out a large box and handed it to him solemnly.

"what is this?"

Bai Ge said as he packed his suitcase, "Well...these are things I treasure very much, but it's nothing, if you're curious, you can take a look...This trip is indeed dangerous, I can't guarantee that they will be intact, I hope you can keep them for me."

Then the emperor opened the box in front of him, and when he saw the things inside, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is that so... Since you trust me, then as your boss, I will definitely keep the things for you. Just don't forget to take them when you come back!"

"Well... Boss, Mr. Great Emperor, I'm asking you to take care of the letter inside as well... In case I don't make it back, please pass it on."

The emperor also knew that life is unpredictable, so he silently agreed.

"Then boss, I'm leaving..." Bai Ge waved and started walking while dragging his luggage. Chi Yu jumped onto the suitcase and waved goodbye to the emperor.

When I was almost down the stairs, the magnetic voice came again:

"Value your life, don't die so easily, you have to drink something when you come back."

"I will return."

The orange dusk slowly turned into lead gray; the unnaturally dissipating clouds only dissipated temporarily; the rain would eventually fall to the earth.

Dragging his lead-like luggage, Ling Dengxian walked to the entrance of Longmen. There were fewer pedestrians along the way because the turmoil in Longmen had just ended not long ago, and people were in a state of panic.

It was hard to imagine that this was the prosperous Longmen. The few passers-by looked wary when they saw Ling Dengxian.

Fortunately, no one recognized him. After all, most people only remembered Wei Yanwu's broken corner and Chi Xiao's cloud-breaking sword, but his face could not be seen clearly due to the distance. People who did not know the reason did not know who took Wei Yanwu's sword.

Ling was thinking about the future when he suddenly looked up and saw a figure. He couldn't help but stop and asked in surprise, "Commander Wei?"

The person in front of him was Wei Yanwu. His tall dragon complexion had not yet fully recovered. He was standing alone, no, with two swords, in the empty square.

"You're leaving without telling me?" Wei Yanwu looked down at him and said in a more soothing voice, "I won't approve your withdrawal from the Longmen Guards Bureau."

"You finally found out..." Ling Dengxian laughed dryly twice, thinking that Shi Huaiya was really disloyal and reported like a primary school class monitor.

"The emperor and I have a very good relationship. He won't mind that you are also a member of the Imperial Guard." Wei Yanwu said in a low voice, his dragon eyes staring at him unmovingly, wanting to see his true thoughts.

It seems that in Wei Yanwu's plan, he is no longer temporarily stationed in the Guard Bureau...

“…I am infected.”

"Who do you think is behind the great reform in Longmen?" Wei Yanwu asked unhappily, "Part of the preparations for the transformation of the Lower City have been made. By the way, do you have any suitable candidates for contact management?"

"As for this, Jiang Sa, a relatively young man from Liberia at the crossroads, is an infected person and used to be a teacher. He is very knowledgeable. You can let him have a try. Of course, it's just a try. If it doesn't work, you can find someone else." Ling Dengxian was able to distinguish between the important and the trivial.
