Hello, Arknights

Chapter 72: A meeting, snow falls on the city walls

Before I sent her away today, I only understood one thing. From what I saw, her smile was definitely not fake, but what was she struggling with? The sense of disobedience was so disturbing that I knew more than that Sakota girl. At least Lorna didn't really have a mental disorder.

Ling put down his pen and closed his eyes to relax. Today's diary contained some questions, and he shook his head and put aside those inexplicable things.

"When drunk, I heard thousands of words of advice; when sober, I could find the answer with just one question." Ling Dengxian didn't know whether he should be grateful for such an experience. Since he came here, he began to understand what his family members had said.

His father worked away from home all year round, and his mother was also hurt by his mood swings during adolescence. He had to admit that he had hardly ever thought about his family before. He had seen words like "putting yourself in others' shoes" too many times in books, and each time he would only spend less than 30 seconds thinking about the possible hard work of his parents. As he saw more and more, he even just passed it by.

Lorna's words just now brought him back to his thoughts. He had been struggling for survival before, and was thinking about the worries of the next day every day. Now, the emotions evoked by the two moons in the tavern in Qicheng Town that night surged up again.

He wanted to cry, but he couldn't, because the pain had not yet reached its deepest point. It was just that something was accumulating, accumulating for the sake of "thorough pain".

"It seems that I am still quite strong." Ling Dengxian turned off the lights, carefully making sure not to press Chi Yu down on the bed, and pulled up the quilt to cover himself and the little black wolf.

"Host, you are homesick again."

"…I guess they're worried. I don't know what's going on in the other world…If mom and dad knew I was missing, I…I don't dare to think about it."

"Let me see... Well, you have been given great hopes since you were a child, but your performance is just ordinary. You have more than what ordinary people think, and your heart is more unique - hey, your -" Xiaoxie made a sound like rummaging through boxes in his mind, and Ling Dengxian's alarm bells went off: "You! Can you see into my heart?!"

"No... you just gave me the authorization temporarily."

"What the hell!" Ling Dengxian immediately tensed up, and then Xiaoxie said with a very regretful tone: "You reacted very quickly, I almost found your XP——"

"Do you want to hear what you bastard is saying?!" It's been a long time since I last saw him. My blood pressure soared because of this little bastard.

Can we do something that the system should do? Ling Dengxian sighed, and Xiaoxie also tacitly stopped talking.

There must be something wrong with this little bastard. Ling Dengxian closed his eyes and frowned in his hidden spiritual world. He felt that this was probably the reason why he traveled through time:

It's no accident.

"...Hi, hi, hello. Nice to see you again." In the surging wind, across the table was a Sarkaz figure whose face could not be seen clearly.

The crisp voice didn't care about the other party's hostility at all, and greeted enthusiastically: "Would you like some coffee? I have learned some skills from watching you these few days."

"You can't?" The gentle female voice stopped in front of the table along with its owner, the sword held in her hand.

"Of course I did before." The silver bell-like voice was helpless, "Please don't be like this, okay? I am not your enemy."

"I can't tell."

"Then you should know that you can only attack with one-to-one strength, so why do you still risk coming here?"

"It's safe here, whether you are an enemy or not." The woman tried to calm down and then looked somewhere.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." The owner of the silver bell-like voice shook his head, "How on earth did you end up being taken advantage of in the first place? It doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it."

"Your reasons."

"Yeah, maybe. I don't know now. What do you think?"

"...It's true." The gentle smile is as bright as the youthful time, charming at a glance.

"Anyway, you have to be careful in this situation... This is a hard-earned victory for you." The voice at the other end of the table stopped laughing, "It was really not easy."

"Yeah. I'll come here often, but I don't know when we'll meet again." Sarkaz stood up, achieved his goal, turned around and left gracefully.

And this piece of space gradually distorted, and then a city rose from the ground, majestic and firm, with white, black and gold colors coexisting perfectly with each other, and the sounds from the other side surged in the clouds above it.

"It still left a mark. It seems that he will really come here often." With emotion, the voice here gradually dissipated.

"Don't you want to ask something?" the Sakota girl asked the person beside her.

"You didn't tell me when I asked you before. Now I don't want to ask anymore and I want to sleep." Pink-haired Liberi resisted the urge to slap her.

"Well... the goods in my hands will be delivered in the next few days. We should also go to the next city. What kind of scenery will we see on the way?"

"That's what they said when I first arrived in Tobrand."

"I have a feeling this is probably true."

"...What did you talk about?" The girl from Libori was awakened.

“…” Sakota did not respond.

"Hey! Mostima!" The latter turned over and did not answer. The "Wild Pilot" (? ) knew that this guy was not pretending to be asleep, but was actually asleep.

"…You're done for tomorrow."

The next day, Ling Dengxian was awakened by a knock on the door: "Ling Dengxian, don't sleep anymore, come out and take a look!" "Lazy fish! Get up!"

Ling Dengxian was stunned for a long time, wondering who the lazy fish was, and then he remembered that Lorna thought he was an Agor.

"Agor is not necessarily a fish..." Ling Dengxian stretched lazily, and Chi Yu woke up with his movement. He slept very soundly last night.

He raised his hand and threw the sleepy Chi Yu off the bed, and responded, "Get up, don't disturb other guests so early in the morning."

"Ling Dengxian, come out and see."

"What's the matter? Why are you making so much noise? Didn't Ms. Wesson say yesterday that we could stay up later today?" Ling Dengxian opened the door and was hit by the slightly lower temperature in the corridor. He paused. The two people outside the door didn't seem to care much about the temperature: "Look! It snowed last night!"

Ling Dengxian looked at the window at the stairs, pulled his collar and walked over with the two of them. The road was covered with silver-white carpet. The new Tobrand looked a little unfamiliar, with only a few plots of land still retaining their original gray color. Hot smoke was already rising from the buildings in the distance, and the whole city was lighting up its pipes.

"Hurry up, the business in the store must be good today!" Lorna patted the two of them on the shoulders excitedly. Ling Dengxian could feel that she felt much more at ease, as if she had thrown something away.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Ling Dengxian said leisurely.
