Hello, Arknights

"Director! Ahem, should we notify the head of the defense department at Rhine Life?"

What responded to him before Ibus was a black and purple cutting line. The conditioned reflex tempered by the danger made him immediately activate the Originium skill and retreat to the right. However, the light seemed to dissolve in the air. He only saw his Originium skill creation standing in the same place without any abnormality.

"Hey."

Amid the whistling sounds that filled the air, this sound was extremely subtle, but it rang clearly in his ears.

His body suddenly felt lighter, and the shield in front of him quietly formed a smooth cutting arc. At the same time, the team member's arm fell to the cold ground, splashing red water.

"Brother, keep your hands away. If this ends in time, we can take it back." When the delayed pain was tearing at the unfortunate man's nerves, a casual voice sounded. The owner of the voice threw a coat beside the figure who was kneeling on the ground and screaming, and then walked straight to Ives who was blocking the first one:

"Director Ibbs, what are you busy with?"

"Damn Pelo?!" Ibus's eyes narrowed, but the current situation did not allow him to be distracted. The black field in front of him continued to release the black and purple light that had attacked his team members before. In the hazy front, the unclear strange shadow was stretching its body, which made people tremble.

"Why are you here too?"

The flaxen-haired Pero woman shrugged. "I was just coming here to pick up some documents, but my boss said that there was an emergency here. If the person in charge of this operation is not here, you will have to risk your life, so I came to check it out."

"...What are you going to do?" Ibus didn't like getting along with this person who was of the same status as him. Although she was of the same race as Pero, her behavior made people feel that she had the blood of Fidelia flowing in her veins.

"Do nothing." As soon as the Pero woman finished her words, several purple-black flames suddenly appeared in front of him, baring their fangs and biting towards her, but the latter just looked forward intently, without even thinking of raising her hands to block them.

A strange thing happened in front of Ibus. The purple-black flames disappeared just as suddenly as they appeared. The sparks singed Pero's bangs, but her expression did not change at all.

The shadow disappeared along with the flame, and the blurry vision began to become clear.

"It's time. It's just a spatial disturbance." The woman clapped her hands and then looked at him with a smile. "You two don't fully understand the condition of the experimental subjects."

Ibus first looked back at his subordinates, waved his hand to signal others to rush to treat him, and he kept a close eye on Pero. The team members hurriedly passed by the two of them. Ika smiled and said, "This experimental subject of yours is much more dangerous than the one that Sisidor and the others are responsible for."

"Think about it carefully, because this guy has gathered three directors of the Scepter and the Institute, including the one from Rhine Life, so this is not a small fight."

"...You, leave, I will treat my team members myself." Seeing her move, Ibus immediately became nervous, and three cracks appeared on the power armor as the power surged.

"Haha, you are so alert. Director Dolan is more of a gentleman. I have prepared a 'bed' for the little guy. Remember to give him the home he deserves. Call me when you need me. See you later."

Ibus watched her raise her hand to part the snow to reveal the coffin left behind, and watched her leave in silence.

Ika is the director of the special operations unit that is closest to the scepter and its owner. He acts in secret and has a history of abusing and killing his colleagues, but he is guaranteed by his boss.

"Now is not the time to think about this guy. We should inform that woman Saria about these abnormal situations."

The turmoil outside the city was suppressed by the Scepter and the Office, and no news of it reached the city. The three-member group of noisy and obedient people had already arrived at the museum. As expected, there were basically no tourists, and the guards let them in without making things difficult for them. After all, to be honest, this place was not small, but compared to a proper museum, it was just a storage place for cultural relics, and usually no one would covet these cultural relics.

"Sister Lorna, why are you interested in these?" A'ran was still pulling at the corner of Ling Dengxian's clothes. The light in the hall was not that bright, and Lorna took out a camera from her bag and began to quietly take pictures of the things in the glass cabinet one by one.

Ling Dengxian was very surprised. He thought she would be more excited, but she calmed down after entering the hall. Luo Erna's attention was still on an old trumpet in front of her: "Why... I don't know. At first, it was probably because I felt that these historical relics were left alone in the corner... I felt a little reluctant."

"I can't bear it..." A'ran didn't know about Lorna's experience, but Ling Dengxian understood that she and the cultural relic shared the same feeling. He couldn't help but be surprised again, and then his heart trembled, and he didn't say a word.

"At first, I had a preference. I only liked to go to those deserted museums with few people. I didn't want to go to those popular places.

"I thought, since they have people to look at them, there is no need for my eyes to see them."

"Later, I slowly discovered that it wasn't always like that. There was once a worn-out sword that was praised by tourists for its sharpness, but if you asked them about its history, they might not be able to answer, even though they had read the introduction next to the sword many times."

"The most ridiculous thing is that the sword is not a relic of a hero, but a trophy obtained by the hero after he fought desperately to kill the enemy general."

The Liberi girl's voice was very calm, but the two could hear the emotion in it.

"Lorna..."

"Now that I think about it, I was indeed quite impulsive. I shouldn't have let the mayor embarrass himself in front of so many people." Lorna smiled. Ling Dengxian and A'ran opened their mouths. They didn't expect that this was Lorna's experience and not an analogy she made.

"Later, I gradually became interested in these things that witnessed change. Just think about it. One day, we will disappear in the dust of history, but there will always be something preserved, standing in a corner of the world, quietly and silently, because it has seen it all."

"It doesn't speak, it speaks with its whole body." Ling Dengxian sighed.

Lorna nodded, her eyes calm.

"Then why do you want to be a chef? With Sister Lorna's ability, she can also be a scholar, right?" A'ran raised his doubts.

"Silly boy, I really like cooking." Lorna led the two to the next artifact. "Besides, who said that I can't study these artifacts just because I'm a chef? I'm just an amateur."

Ling Dengxian remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking about, but his expression remained calm.

"Click." Another person appeared at the other end of the hall. Ling Dengxian raised his eyes and met her gaze.
