Hello, Arknights

“Question: Why a bus?”

"Because I don't have a driver's license and I don't have a private car..."

"Question, please show your personnel code."

"Is there any coding for my job? I'm not sure. If you want to address me, you can call me Ling Dengxian."

"The name has been recorded... any doubts are reserved. Ling Dengxian, you can call me by my code name White-Faced Owl." The girl sat next to him. There were surprisingly fewer people on the return bus than he thought. The way this girl spoke was quite interesting and indeed very impressive.

The cat-ear-like feathers in the girl's hair moved, which seemed much more lively than her tone. At the same time, Ling Dengxian would not feel uncomfortable sitting next to her. In order to pass the time, Ling Dengxian took the initiative to start a conversation: "Miss White-Faced Owl, what do you want to do in Tobrand?"

Apparently this guy had forgotten most of the information Ms. Wesson had given him.

White-Faced Owl turned her head and looked at him for a long time. No one knew what was going on in her golden eyes. Before Ling Dengxian could worry about whether she had said something wrong, she answered, "Receive the sample information collected by relevant personnel and assist in completing the relevant finishing tasks. Please note that White-Faced Owl does not know whether you have the relevant access rights, and most of the detailed information will not be disclosed to you."

Ling Dengxian thought for a long time before translating it into "strangers should not ask for private information excessively." Many of the words in the middle were not taught to Bagpipe, but fortunately he had read some books in Tobrand these days.

As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered that she was here for an internship, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was difficult to do any job nowadays, and even interns had to take care of a variety of tasks.

Come to think of it, what he is doing now seems to be similar, except that he is not an intern...

"I'll take you to the storage room of the coffee shop to rest for a while, and I'll call you when the person who picks you up arrives." Ling Dengxian thought about it and felt that it would be better to inform the itinerary first, so as to avoid misunderstanding from White-Faced Owl. This girl seemed to be very vigilant.

White-Faced Owl couldn't help but look at Ling Dengxian again, and this time his tone was obviously a little hesitant: "Storage room? Please show the specific coordinates."

"Ah, not far, not far. It's just across the street from the Yuanfang Coffee Shop. It takes at most ten minutes to walk there." Ling Dengxian knew that any normal person would have concerns, so he explained, "I am also a paid person. I just run errands and bring you here. The mission is completed. I won't kill you for money."

"..." This was the first time White-Faced Owl remained silent since the two met. She had just searched her memory, and it seemed that this was the first time she had heard such an explanation that could be easily misunderstood.

Ling Dengxian didn't notice anything unusual. He just thought that White-Faced Owl was a little tired from the journey. After the explanation, he stopped talking and started checking the instructions for use of the medicine. Seeing that he had diverted his attention, the girl from Liberi stopped talking too. She just looked thoughtful, and no one knew what conclusion she had come to in her white little head.

"Here, it is. Ah-Ran made the bed very tidy but it is definitely not as good as the bed you are used to sleeping in. Just make do with it and rest for a while. I have to go to work, so I'll leave first."

After being sure that the boy of an unknown race named "Ling Dengxian" had gone away, White-Faced Owl, who was sitting on the bed, looked at the surrounding environment and felt a little bit of incongruity. Then he silently took out the communication terminal, and the other side rang twice before being connected: "White-Faced Owl? Have you arrived? I'll be there right away."

"Director Saria, according to the current information, White-Faced Owl suspects that he was deceived and abducted to a food storage room in Tobrand. You can use the terminal to locate White-Faced Owl. There is no threat to his life at present."

Faced with this response, even Saria paused for a second: "What's your situation? Didn't he confiscate your communication terminal?"

"Correction: The above is a joke that White-faced Owl played on his friend after not seeing him for a long time. The real situation is that there is an 89% probability that the staff of the target coffee shop received instructions from their superiors as the 'reception personnel' and because of the high overlap of information features, they mistakenly identified White-faced Owl as the target person and took him away."

"The White-Faced Owl had just woken up from standby mode and some errors occurred in its program. It followed the other party after only a preliminary identification. It is currently resting in the coffee ingredient storage room which also serves as the staff dormitory."

"...Huh, I'm glad you're okay." Saria admitted that the White-Faced Owl's fuss did dispel a lot of the tension she had felt these days. Although she knew she couldn't see it, Saria still nodded and stood up: "Then I'll come right over. Don't cause trouble for them, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble. Remember to remind that reckless guy that he picked up the wrong person and don't delay other people's work."

"White-Faced Owl understands." After hanging up the phone, the girl from Liberi knew that Tobrand's train would enter the city today, and it was not yet time for the next pair of convoys to enter the city, so she had just played a joke on Ling Dengxian. Now it was time to tell him the truth.

When the White-faced Owl stood up, she saw out of the corner of her eye an existence that she had to pay attention to - the blue-black little beast that was awakened crawled out from between the folded quilts. The source of the sense of incongruity that she had been concerned about before finally was found. The White-faced Owl and Chi Yu looked at each other in confusion for a few seconds, then Chi Yu jumped off the bed and walked around her twice, raised her beautiful nose to sniff the White-faced Owl's scent, then blinked, turned around and jumped back onto the bed.

"...Black wolf cubs, wonderful indoor relationships." White Owl turned her head and saw another thing that attracted her attention. "Read the cover information, travel magazine?"

She hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the little black wolf, who was staring at her with a harmless look.

The white-faced owl stretched out his hand, but Chi Yu did not respond.

The white-faced owl touched the magazine, but Chi Yu didn't respond.

White-faced Owl flipped open the cover of the magazine, and Chi Yu suddenly jumped onto the desk. The two pairs of golden eyes looked at each other, and White-faced Owl retracted his hand.

"Conclusion is something very important to the holder." The White-Faced Owl curved the corners of his mouth in a very small arc, picked up his things, turned around and walked out the door.

Chi Yu kept staring at the direction where the white-faced owl left, as if the gaze from her amber-like gradient eyes could penetrate the door.

"Did you pick her up?" Weisen raised his eyebrows. "But my niece just sent a message saying she hasn't gotten off the car yet."

Ling Dengxian: “…Wh, what?!”

"Stupid, you picked up the wrong person." Xiaoxie and A'ran attacked almost at the same time. Ling Dengxian couldn't hold it in any longer: "She said her name was White-Faced Owl."

"No matter how forgetful I am, I will never forget whether my niece has a code name..." Wesson felt that this guy could indeed bring her many stories, but if along with the stories came trouble, she thought it was unnecessary.

"You didn't even remind me of this system!"

"Brother, I haven't even met this lady's niece!"

"Don't you even have the ability to identify yourself?!"

"...You can't use it. All the functions I have are useful to you." Xiao Xie was very contemptuous. "Besides, isn't this your problem? Are you still trying to divert the conflict?"

"Damn it, what functions do you have that I can use?!" Ling Dengxian was really defeated. This little scum actually used this sentence to choke him!

"You'll know, hehe." Xiaoxie left a somewhat strange sentence and stopped responding.
