Hello, Arknights

To be honest, it was not difficult to find this gray-haired film. After all, the triangle did not deliberately hide its whereabouts. Ling Dengxian huddled behind a tree by the lake, looking at the figure sitting on the stone beach by the water, feeling a little hesitant.

The film girl sat on a large, protruding rock, almost blending into it.

This guy Bagpipe... he is not familiar with the triangle, so it is more or less a little strange to ask him to make this trip, but he came anyway. Maybe he was touched by the expression of the film girl, so he came here for some unknown reason.

"But the feeling is gone... I will be embarrassed." What really embarrassed him was that he didn't know what to say. He didn't know much about triangles and didn't have much experience, so he was afraid he couldn't comfort her...

"It's okay to just watch from the side, right? As long as nothing goes wrong..." Just as Ling Dengxian was thinking this, he saw the gray figure stand up and swayed a bit. He was suddenly startled and wanted to step forward. Then he saw her turn her head back. It was obvious that she was stunned for a moment when she was discovered.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. The wind brought the girl's gaze over. Ling Dengxian answered honestly, "They asked me to come and see you."

"...I'm fine, and I'm not stupid enough to do anything stupid." Triangle turned around, facing the gradually growing evening breeze and letting it blow her long hair away. The gray emotions shattered on the shore, and the lake surface whispered quietly.

"Thank you so much for the small drum thing. She can go even further. I'm glad I trusted you at that time."

Ling Dengxian walked closer. The remaining light of the setting sun did not illuminate his face clearly. He shook his head, and even though Triangle could not see it, he said breathlessly: "You trust Bagpipe. You would not do that if it were someone else." He knew that these words were of no help in comforting others, but he didn't know why he just said it.

"..." Triangle watched the light sink into the water bit by bit. She still stood there, but her back was shrinking more and more. Ling Dengxian suddenly realized that he was here to help Triangle. Now was not the time to think about his own problems. He took a few steps closer and stood a few steps away from the rock where she was standing. He said with a stiff face: "If you have something to say...would you like me to be your audience? Anyway, I should be leaving soon, so it won't have any impact on you."

"Where are you going?"

"Probably the Dragon Gate of Yan Country... Anyway, staying here won't help me with what I want to do." Ling Dengxian paused, "So you don't have to worry."

"I can't say I'm worried... I should say I'm not - I don't know how to put it." Triangle looked at the wound on his hand. Tiny lenses had already begun to appear. The sunset had completely disappeared. It looked very dark. "The management of our army is very strict. It's impossible for me to stay in the team after being infected with oripathy with my ability."

"Ore disease, Ore disease. I have participated in many operations and seen many related scenes. I am also quite clear about the plight of the infected. It has come to this point. It is undeniable - there is nothing to deny. Until I knew I was infected, I was afraid and arrogant of the infected."

"And now I have become a potential danger. After death, there is a danger that the Originium will turn into dust, and I will become a new source of infection and a new source of pain." Triangle Iron did not expect that she would really say so much. She looked at her raised hand, her fingertips were trembling slightly, and she really needed to vent through words.

"Don't keep mentioning the word 'death'. The infected people are not contagious if they are alive—"

"Anyone in this land could die at any moment." Triangle interrupted him, his voice dull, "No one can guarantee life."

It was like a joke of fate. Just after she said this, she probably wanted to come down. She slipped as she took a step, and she fell on her back into a shallow layer of lake water and jagged rocks.

"!" His arm sank and he almost lost his balance. The tearing pain pierced into his brain like a scream. Triangle looked at him in disbelief. The next moment, Ling Dengxian could no longer stand and let go of his arm.

The gray-haired Feilin reacted quickly and turned over lightly, stepped into the water and grabbed the stranger who caught her. She was a little surprised. Although Ling Dengxian was not too far away from her, she fell towards the water, and his reaction was too quick. If she was in another position, she might not be able to catch Ling Dengxian in time.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you really that tired?" Triangle had obviously forgotten some things because of his drastic emotional fluctuations.

"It hurts... We just took out the shrapnel... It hasn't been an hour yet..." Only then did Triangle see the red stain on his clothes under his ribs and remembered that he seemed to be a wounded soldier.

"Why are you running around instead of resting after the operation!" He picked up Ling Dengxian's triangle iron, lowered his center of gravity as steadily as possible, and ran straight to the medical station.

"Let him rest and stop running around." Horn was speechless as he watched the man who had treated his wound again. Triangle would at most faint after falling from that height, but he didn't expect this guy to be able to toss himself back sideways. Then he asked Triangle with a hint of meaning, "Do you want to stay and watch him for a while? We will help you report it."

"Where is the bagpipe?" Triangle was puzzled when he found that Vaifan, who should be there, was not there.

"...I'm already making a report." Horn once again used his eyes to ask her if she needed some time to calm down. Triangle struggled for a moment, and finally nodded silently, indicating that she was still a little uncalm.

"We'll wait for you." Horn nodded to her, left the room and closed the door gently. Triangle sat weakly on the chair, thinking about her future plans and what she should do.

Ling Dengxian didn't dare to breathe during the whole process.

If only he had fainted earlier... Ling Dengxian was back in this temporary ward again. It was midnight and he had already fallen asleep. Fengdi was nowhere to be seen. "By the way, how is Fengdi? She shouldn't be infected, right?"

"Can you have a good sleep?" Feilin suddenly asked, and Ling Dengxian was startled. "I've turned off the lights, so can you have a good rest?"

"Can you see it?"

"…I am Feilin."

Ling Dengxian couldn't fall asleep for the moment. He wanted to sit up but was stopped by Triangle. Gray-haired Feilin moved the chair closer. Ling Dengxian vaguely felt that she actually had something else to say.

"Ling Dengxian, that's the name, right?"

“…Is my name really that hard to remember?”

"Just to confirm, I never thought I'd have the chance to call your name again." Triangle replied.

"...So what's wrong?" Ling Dengxian calmed down and listened carefully to what she wanted to say.

"What do you think, where should I go if I really have to retire from the army?" Triangle's voice didn't seem so depressed anymore.

"Ah? Why are you asking me?" Ling Dengxian was puzzled.

"Just to get some advice. So?"

"...What are your plans? That should depend on whether you want to continue doing something, or want to enjoy life and retreat to the second line." It was the first time that Ling Dengxian was asked this kind of question. He thought about it for a while and asked this. At the same time, he also had a suggestion. If the other party had any ideas, it seemed that going there would be the most appropriate.

"I really still want to do something. Just retiring, going home, getting married or doing other things is too..." Triangle said while clenching her fists. She knew that such a situation might not be easy to achieve because of her identity as an infected person.

"Then... do you want to go to Rhodes Island?"

"what?"

"A pharmaceutical company, a neutral organization that recruits talented people."

"Ling Dengxian." A voice came faintly in the middle of the night.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Go to sleep and shut up!" A pillow was thrown at him.
