Hello, Arknights

When Ling went out of the city to look for A'ran and Saria, a messenger in the city was finally about to complete his mission.

"…something's not right." Wilderness Pilot frowned.

"What's the matter?" The blue-haired fallen angel confirmed the integrity of the information bag again and smiled with satisfaction.

"The city is in such a mess right now, and they actually asked me to sign for the goods at this time. It doesn't make sense no matter how I think about it."

At this moment, three hours had passed since the riot broke out, and the other party had actually made an appointment to meet at this time when an unknown disaster was still raging in the city.

"I don't recommend you go. You can hand the items over to the local courier transfer station."

Mostima answered a call, then shrugged, "Just received news that the transfer station was destroyed. The messenger also took refuge."

“When did you contact the local transit station?” The “God-chosen Supervisor” wondered.

"It's my first day here. Please, Miss Grave Knight, I'm not a hands-off boss. I have work to do and I have to take it seriously." Blue-haired Sakota pulled his collar and smiled.

"...Then why didn't you get rid of it earlier?" Pink-haired Liberi gritted his teeth when he heard the key words, "And that was the code name in the past, have you forgotten it!"

"They won't accept it." The girl stopped smiling and looked seriously at the people in the shelter at the end of the road who were unaware of their fate. "The reason they gave was 'the recipient requested that it be delivered without a forwarding, unless there are special circumstances, it can be sent to you', but -

"Under special circumstances, this transfer station is gone..."

Of course Mostima knew something was wrong, but she also wanted to see what the other party was trying to do. If it could end the disaster in front of her, then His Holiness the Pope would surely do the same.

"I--"

"By the way, Xiaofei, you have to stay away this time." Mostima's words made her frown. She knew that this was not a trust issue, but she felt that she really shouldn't interfere.

"You can't leave my sight."

"That's why I said 'stay away'." The girl chuckled, with a serious look in her eyes, "They're probably going to fight, but I don't know if it's to silence them, or if..."

"...Be careful, you have to accompany me to settle accounts with that bastard." Liberi handed the silver briefcase to her. She was not like this guy who could still smile.

"Okay." The angel with devil horns waved his hand. "I'll go ahead."

The agreed location was outside the city. With her identity proof, it would be much easier for her to leave the city than Ling Dengxian. Of course, the fact that the crowd had already taken refuge was also a reason why there would not be any commotion. Moreover, the natural disaster was approaching, and the Sakota defenders had no intention of stopping someone from leaving the city.

Now Tobrand's power system is paralyzed, and the city's engineers and maintenance personnel are rushing to repair it, although the damage is already horrific.

And there are two monsters fighting above the power system. They have to go ahead due to the pressure of survival, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

The blizzard outside the city is getting closer and closer. Originally, Tobrand had a chance to avoid it calmly, but now the power system is paralyzed. According to the simulated route of the disaster, it is expected that two-thirds of Tobrand will hit the blizzard. The city will not be destroyed, but at least 80% of the residents in the disaster-affected area will lose their lives - unfortunately, most of the other one-third of the area is being ravaged by fighting monsters.

This is also the reason why the crowd settled down. If they leave the city, they will face a level 2 natural disaster. Without the shelter of a mobile city, they will most likely die. If they stay in the city, the defenders may be able to deal with those monsters.

Well, maybe.

And her supervisor naturally also had a way for her to leave.

Passing through the solid gates one by one, the cold made Sakota pull up her coat. As gravity returned to normal, she stepped out of the elevator and looked at the snow. She frowned slightly. A gust of cold wind ruffled her hair. When her short boots stepped into the snow, she became more certain of one thing:

"You should wear pantyhose, or at least warm stockings..."

She still set out in her usual attire. After all, she just felt very cold, and she would be fine if she stayed in this temperature temporarily.

Night had already fallen, and the black color melted into the ice and snow in an attempt to scare the earth; the roar seemed a little hoarse in the wind and snow.

She put on the hat that covered her clothes, and the wind and snow didn't seem so scary anymore. The black and white staff in her hand rose and fell quietly with her steps, as calm as water.

The location is south of Tobrand, and the other party seems to have arrived.

The Pero woman also did not wear thick clothes. Her thin formal attire made her look out of place in the cold environment. She didn't even wear a coat.

"Director Ibus?" Mostima smiled and confirmed the other party's identity. He was surprised that the other party was a human.

"No, I'm Ika, Ibus's colleague and also the director." The two approached, and the Pero woman handed over her ID, her eyes always on Mostima, as if she didn't mind arousing the other party's vigilance.

"…Then, this is the information of 'The Staff and the Institute'. Please sign for it." Mastema handed over the briefcase. The people inside the Staff and the Institute knew the password.

"Yes, that's it." Ika just raised his hand and scanned a corner of the suitcase with his watch to confirm that his job was completed.

But her smile gave Mastema a bad feeling.

"Ms. Mostima is very good."

"I would be very frightened if you suddenly said that to me." Mastema smiled politely and prepared to leave.

"Ms. Mostima, do you have any career aspirations?" Ika kept on asking.

"No... I quite like my current life. It's fun to travel on the shillings as a courier." Mostima kept his distance and smiled cautiously.

"Really? I have a lot of generous benefits on file to lure you to change jobs. If this happens, my work will be in vain..." The smile on Ika's face slowly disappeared, and he looked depressed.

"Then do you want to go sit down with the Scepter and the Institute? My boss wants to talk to you."

"Can't you say it for him? Or did he not ask you to say it?" Mostima stepped back inconspicuously. This woman seemed difficult to deal with.

"Well... if you don't want to go, forget it. The boss said you can't force me, otherwise I'll deduct your salary." Ika shrugged and changed the subject, "But he did say that if you refuse, he'll tell you something."

Mastema gave him a look that said "please speak" and at the same time she felt curious. She had only heard about the scepter and everything else, but she had never seen the person behind the organization.

What can you say to someone you don’t even know?

"Then listen carefully, here are the original words:

" 'I will honor your heroic deeds at the end of the road, beyond the sea, and beyond the sky.' (Yan Yu)"

Mostima was puzzled, but had no intention of asking further questions. He nodded to indicate that he understood, then waved goodbye.

"Then I will first..."

"Wait a moment," Ika said with a smile, blocking her way. "I have finished what the boss asked me to do. The rest is my time."

"Ms. Mastema... I have a colleague who is very interested in your staff."

"You want to rob?" Mostima smiled slightly and held the staff in his hand.

The wind and snow lifted up the hems of their clothes. In the black world of ice and snow, the blue and purple spell waves rose, spread, and collided violently almost at the same time!

“No, no, no…” Ika’s voice wavered in the snow mist, “Only you can drive them. If you want to rob them…”

"It's you I want to rob."
