Hello, Arknights

"...Is there really nothing he can do about this situation?" Noah leaned against the window and looked at the dust rising in the distance. He couldn't help but feel worried. "After all, he is not omnipotent. I hope he doesn't die here."

"Hmm?" The air in front of her eyes vibrated slightly, and a message note appeared out of thin air. She raised her hand, twisted it and read the content carefully: "Ika? She - no! Don't let her do anything wrong. Really, why did the boss let this bastard out? Fortunately, there is Heheka..."

She grabbed her coat and looked at the sky again before taking action. A snowstorm was approaching.

In the coffee shop, Weisen did not interfere too much with Ling Dengxian's actions. After expressing his gratitude for his due diligence in sending Lorna back safely, he only told her to "be careful". Ling Dengxian could rest assured of Lorna's safety after sending her back, so he immediately rushed to the storage room without stopping.

"Aunt... Ling Dengxian suddenly became so strange." Lorna looked at the boy's back as he walked away. At this moment, her feeling towards Ling Dengxian was very different from usual.

"Do you know why I like to watch these things so much?" Wisen put on his hat and took his pipe and stood up, looking at his juniors. "It's because it can satisfy my curiosity about these people's stories."

"Well, little Lorna, will you come and see it with me?"

Lorna took a step back. Weisen smiled and left the store. "Since you don't plan to take risks, your aunt suggests that you get out of the city as soon as possible. The direction of the disaster is different. You can avoid it if you hurry up. If you stay in the city, something bad might happen."

Lorna didn't understand why things turned out like this in less than an hour. She felt scared for the first time in her life, even though she had only felt powerless before.

There was another loud noise and the Libori girl quickly stood up from her chair. At this time, a hand reached out to her. She looked up and found that it was another Libori girl with white hair and golden eyes.

"Do you need help?" asked the white-faced owl.

On this side, Ling Dengxian stood in front of the black flames. The place in front of him that was supposed to be a storage room was occupied by a huge, roaring monster whose shape could not be seen clearly. The streets around him were cut with countless traces by invisible forces. Crying and shouting continued to come from the distant blocks. He was unable to move for a while.

It's looking at me.

Ling Dengxian looked at the space blankly. In his field of vision, the strange black shadow gradually faded, and an eye became clearer and clearer.

"What the hell is that?!" The irritability that had been suppressed deep in his heart finally surged up uncontrollably when he saw that eye. For a moment, a lot of vicious words wanted to come out of his throat, and he almost couldn't hold back.

"Host, move!" Ling Dengxian waved his arm and changed direction in the next moment, narrowly avoiding the invasion of black flames. He reacted and started running.

That was definitely not something he could handle, at least not now. He had to find his city-breaking spear right now.

"Xiao Xie, please, can you find my city-breaking spear? Those two swords will do too!"

"Under normal circumstances, I might still remember it... but right now, the place where you live has been blown up..."

"Damn it..." Ling Dengxian was so annoyed for a moment that he didn't even realize that there was a huge mistake in his memory.

"Ao!" A howl drew his attention back, and a small blue-black animal at the street corner threw a long bag in front of him.

"Chi Yu?" Ling Dengxian saw Chi Yu finally remembered that his weapon was not in the storage room. He had taken it to the hotel along with his diary and textbooks when he left. However, the inertia of thinking after living there for so long made him forget about it.

"Thank you, you're a great help!" Ling Dengxian opened his pocket and found the undeployed city-breaking spear and the white-gray sword.

"Woo..." After a low hum, Chi Yu turned and ran in another direction. Ling Dengxian was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party had no reason to act with him. Then he took the two swords and picked up the city-breaking spear and ran towards the museum.

Was he going to stop A'ran or Saria? He himself didn't know. He had a hunch that as long as A'ran got out of that state, the strange shadow would definitely disappear. Similarly, in such a situation, Saria would most likely execute A'ran!

But even after holding the weapon, he still had no confidence in his heart.

Stopping the thought, Ling Dengxian adjusted his state and went straight to the museum.

"Something happened, sir! That monster...seems, seems to have appeared near the government building! The mayor called us and the security bureau like crazy and asked me to deal with it!"

"Damn it, I didn't expect to see it at this time... Let's go! We have to get rid of it this time!"

"But sir, we can—"

"Think about those crime scenes! Do you want your family to become like that one day in the future?!"

"I understand, sir! Please give me a little more time, just two minutes!"

"you want?"

"I'll write a suicide note to my family, quickly!"

Kilai looked at the young man's immature face and couldn't refuse his request, especially when he knew that he had just gotten married.

He had no choice but to lower his head and check his equipment.

"Woo! Old man, hurry up and leave. There are monsters killing people over there! This city is not safe anymore!!"

“Hoo…Hoo, Goo——” Old Man Fengti was almost out of breath. “Okay…Okay, but, but I can’t run…”

"Trouble! I don't care about you anymore!" The young man didn't look back and ran away.

“Oh…oh, I can’t run anymore. It seems that my old bones will be left here today… I should have gone back… I couldn’t die in my hometown…” The old man sat down on the side of the road, his gray beard trembling uncontrollably. To make matters worse, he went against the flow and couldn’t breathe.

"... Slow down, don't be in a hurry." The Agor girl patted his back gently to help him adjust his breathing. The old man steadied his breath, coughed a few times, looked up and found that he remembered this Agor girl.

"You...you were the girl who ate a lot that day?"

Skadi placed a bottle of water next to him, nodded, and stood up.

"Where are you going, girl? Don't go over there! I heard that there are monsters killing people over there! I can't run anymore, so if you young people can run, just run!"

"...You can walk slowly, don't be in a hurry, it won't catch up with you. Well, try to walk far away, otherwise you will still get hurt." After Skadi confirmed that the old man was fine, she continued to rush to the source of the unrest, and she also held the black sword on her back in her hand.

Looking at the strange figure roaring silently in the ruins, Skadi felt vaguely that something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong. She had to hold the sword tightly in her hand and use the sound of the tide to suppress the hissing of the light.
