Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

I did not meet Officer Malone when I entered the city.

But Suika wasn't surprised.

After all, before he left, he said that his family had begun to support him. This trip has been going on for at least two months. It is possible that he has been promoted from a gatekeeper police chief to a higher-level position.

Besides, even the police chief who guards the gate won’t sit there all day. Others also need holidays, okay?

After queuing up in an orderly manner to enter the city, Suixiang went directly to Green Spark.

When I opened the door, I found that it was very lively inside. In addition to the people I knew, there were also many men and women in work clothes drinking in the house.

Many people frowned when they saw Suika, because from her exposed thin arms and legs, they could tell that she was not infected.

So when a non-infected person suddenly appeared in the depths of this infected gathering place, they, as infected people, felt a little uneasy.

"Oh, Suika!" After Susie delivered the butterbeer ordered by several guests to the table, she looked up and saw Suika walking towards her. She couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Little Susie, long time no see! And Yeyan, I'm glad to see you still working here!"

Suika greeted the two "waiters" who came over and then went to the bar counter, found a seat and sat down.

"Sister Xia Li, give me something to eat and drink... I'm really tired from this trip."

"Okay!" Xia Li smiled and took out a few bottles of wine from the counter, mixed a simple drink for Cui Xiang, and brought it to her, then patted her head.

"Drink first, I'll ask Kugen to make you a big portion of barbecue!"

After saying that, she went into the kitchen with a smile.

The people around were relieved after seeing the interaction between Suika and the Green Sparks, as they seemed to be acquaintances of theirs.

Green Spark has been operating in Karaton for a long time. Since he is an acquaintance of theirs, he is probably not the kind of "ordinary person" who is so blind as to run to the infected district to cause trouble.

As the sky grew darker, people gradually left, and in the end only Suixiang remained here.

Xia Li came to Cui Xiang's side

"I received a reply from Rhodes Island. Thank you for sending those children there for treatment.

Did you encounter anything interesting during your trip to Rhodes Island?

Xia Li winked playfully and looked at Suixiang with a smile in his big eyes.

Suika opened her breast pocket, revealing a label inside, and then turned it back

"You know what, this trip to Rhodes Island was truly earth-shattering. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and all kinds of powerful enemies appeared from time to time.

It was even more exciting than my experience the previous year.”

Seeing the sign, Xia Li's smile became even brighter. She took a bottle of wine and sat next to Cui Xiang.

"This is newly brewed fruit wine. Come and taste it!"

Suika's eyes lit up

"Okay, okay... Let's drink and talk..."

At this time, Kugen also walked out of the house. Together with the two kittens standing not far away with their ears erect, full of curiosity, the rest of the Green Sparks people were here.

"Let's start from when we first left home..."

Suika concealed some things that could not be said, and then told her experience of going to Rhodes Island after adding some reasonable exaggerations.

"We've also heard about the mine explosion you mentioned. Not only did a lot of people die, but because they were worried about Originium dust drifting into the city, the town was relocated away from the mine.

Even so, some people chose to leave the town. Some people came here and spread the news.

I just didn't expect there were so many twists and turns in this.

But I am confused. The Viscount Scott you mentioned obviously does not need to do this at all. He only needs to stop working for a few months to a year as recommended by the safety officer and wait for the activity of the originium to subside again. Then the mine can continue to be mined.

His approach appears to have secured short-term profits, but the final compensation and the actual losses of the mine cannot be recovered within a year."

Kugen spoke after Suika finished.

"Yes, this is also a mystery, but I suspect there may be other people behind this, but the time is too short to find out their identities..."

Considering that Xia Li might not know about Rhodes Island's past life, and Suika couldn't say clearly that she was on Tracy's side, after all, there were two little kittens who knew nothing, so Suika packaged the matter and ran into a group of vicious Sarkaz mercenaries on the way back from the city.

Although he and his companions retreated safely, Viscount Scott died at the hands of the Sarkaz.

After talking about herself, Cuixiang looked at Xia Li

"Don't just talk about me, what about you?"

"We, Godoting Territory, are considered a relatively peaceful place in Victoria. It's far away from war, but we don't have as many thrilling stories as you do.

How long do you plan to stay in Karaton this time?"

Xia Li shook his head. Compared to Cuixiang's wonderful experience in the past two months, they were just ordinary people.

"Leave tomorrow!"

"Ah, why don't you stay and play for a few more days?" Susie said in surprise after hearing what Suixiang said.

"Summer is almost over, and I'm going to catch the tail of summer!" Suixiang said with a smile.

"It's Xiosta, right? I remember a drinker saying that Xiosta's summer performances will continue until autumn."

Just when the pink cat Susie was confused, Yeyan beside her understood the meaning of Suika's words.

After she finished speaking, Suixiang nodded. As expected of the last legacy of the Witch Forest, her brain worked very quickly.

"Yes, my destination is Xiosta... Before summer is over, I must go and experience the bustle and revelry of the seaside."

"Xista...you don't know that I..." Susie looked at Suika with envy.

Sunshine, beaches, and lively crowds, who wouldn’t like it?

It’s a pity that she is now infected... These things are difficult for infected people to access.

This is not just discrimination between ordinary people and those infected.

In addition, 90% or even more of the infected people do not have extra money to pay for treatment.

After all, even the blocking drugs that relieve mineralogy are not cheap.

And the better the efficacy, the more expensive it is.

So most of the infected people's money is thrown into this bottomless pit.

"There will be a chance... I definitely will! But, this time I'm going to explore the area first. I'll send you some photos of Xiosta when I get the chance. We can go see it together next time we have a chance... The world is so big, there's no future in being stuck in this small place."

Suixiang looked over Susie at Kugen and Xia Li. They nodded slightly, almost understanding what Suixiang meant.

Chapter 193 Farewell to Caraton

After chatting for a while, I saw Susie and Yeyan finishing cleaning up and preparing to leave.

"Oh, by the way, Susie and Yeyan, don't leave in a hurry, I brought you a small gift."

Looking at the two people preparing to leave, Suika felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have given the maid outfit to the old lynx before.

That guy would never wear that maid uniform no matter what. If I had known this would happen, I would have given him a pink piggy or a night cat.

Turning around and thinking about it, I only have one maid uniform, no matter who I give it to, it will feel a little bit awkward to the other person...

Thinking about it this way, it would be most appropriate to give it to Kal'tsit.

"Gift meow?" Upon hearing there was a gift, Ye Yan's eyes lit up and she ran over.

Cuixiang took out four stone tablets engraved with good luck patterns and handed them to the four people.

"Ah, just this small sign? What's the use of it, meow? Can I eat it, meow?" Ye Yan's pupils shrank after she took it in her hand, because she recognized that this stone sign was actually made entirely of pure Originium.

"Of course not, but this stone tablet is no ordinary stone tablet... From your surprised expression, I can tell that this thing is a whole piece of pure Originium."

After hearing what Suika said, everyone showed surprised expressions.

"Very good, it's a good thing that no one is afraid."

Ordinary people would only think that pure Originium was a terrifying thing, and that people would easily get mineral sickness after coming into contact with it. However, the people present were all Originium patients, and were naturally immune to this fear.

After all, I've already contracted the Originium disease, so why should I be afraid of it?

“This thing is engraved with ancient Sarkaz spells, which can improve the luck of the wearer.

Yes, it is that illusory luck.

But you have to remember, you can't give this thing to others.

Because luck is constant, if you give good luck to others, you will have to bear bad luck yourself.

Of course, you don't have to worry. I have ways to avoid bad luck, otherwise I wouldn't dare give this thing to anyone casually."

When they heard that Suixiang, who had brought them good luck, would have to bear bad luck, they subconsciously returned the stone tablets.

Fortunately, Cuixiang immediately said that she had a way to avoid the risk, and the few of them took the stone tablet back.

After delivering the stone tablet, Suika's purpose of coming to Karaton was achieved. She clapped her hands.

"By the way, I heard that Wright and the others wrote you a letter of safety. Did you receive it?"

"Of course I received it. Xia Li framed the letter in his home and took it out to show off to us from time to time!" Kugen looked at Xia Li and said this before cheerful laughter came from the room.

After bidding farewell to Green Spark, Suixiang came to the hotel where she stayed last time and checked in by swiping her card as if she was familiar with the place.

Just as I was about to go to bed, there was a knock on the door.

"Hmm?" Suika stood up and walked over.

If it were an ordinary single woman, she would probably be scared if someone knocked on the door at night.

But what is Suika? She is a real "female ghost".

Coupled with her extraordinary strength, if there is any dirty creature trying to scare her, it will most likely be scared away by her.

When I opened the door, I found it was Ma Long.

"Yeah!" Suixiang raised her eyebrows, pointed into the house and asked him if he wanted to come in.

Malone shook his head

"It's already night time, and you're a woman living here alone. It's inconvenient for me to go in, and it would damage your reputation.

So let's talk at the door...

I heard that there was some trouble at Londinium, and it seemed to be related to Miss Suika.

Of course, I am not questioning you for this, but I believe that as an adult friend, you must have your own reasons for doing this.

I came here to repay your kindness. Do you need any help this time in Karaton?"

Suika looked at the man in front of her

"There's no need to repay the favor. The incident in Londinium was just an accident. If you want to hear it...

Hmm, it feels awkward standing at the door, how about we go to the lobby?"

Ma Long nodded slightly and walked down first. Suixiang went back into the house and changed her clothes before going out.

In a coffee shop in the lobby that was provided for rest, Suika looked at the coffee, then took a sip - damn, it was really bitter.

I don't know why anyone would like to drink this stuff.

He pushed the coffee away inconspicuously, then turned to look at Malone and told him about Lentinim's incident.

After hearing this, Ma Long opened his eyes wide with disbelief.

"It's actually like this!"

Suika shrugged. "That's just the way it is...it's outrageous!"

"Indeed, but I can understand a little bit of the butler's mentality at that time.

You are not from Victoria, so to you Londinium is just the capital of Victoria.

But in the eyes of many people, Londinium is still the pride of Victoria and the symbol of Victoria.

The longer one stays there, the more proud one becomes to be a part of Londinium.

The pride of some of them eventually became almost fanatical and unreasonable.

These people look down on other areas outside Londinium, believing that cities outside Londinium are all countryside, and only Londinium is the most dazzling pearl of Victoria.

But now... they are forced to choose to either follow their family, make money but become country people.

Or stay there but not know what the next job will pay like.
