Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Then their purpose is very clear, they are going to Xiosta to cause trouble.

As for who to cause trouble for, Suika couldn't think of anyone else other than Hermann, the mayor of Xiosta, who could make Victoria do this.

At this time, after finding no one below, the eight people felt something was wrong and prepared to leave.

But Suika had no intention of letting them go just like that.

After all, as the saying goes, reciprocity is the key.

These guys fought each other as soon as they met, and now they want to run away when they realize something is wrong. But Suixiang, who was beaten, won't let that happen.

"Whoo~"

In a flash, Suika disappeared from the spot, and accompanied by a gust of sea breeze, thick fog instantly covered the entire forest.

"What's going on? Why is it foggy here?" After taking only two steps, I found that I couldn't see my hand in front of me.

The leader of the team that had originally planned to move forward became hesitant.

After all, from the very beginning, there was a very strange feeling surrounding them.

Everyone present were warriors who had gone through many hardships and their sixth sense was quite sharp. Ever since they shot and killed the mysterious man standing on the tree, they had been feeling that someone was staring at them, but they could not find any trace of the person.

Now, a thick fog has strangely risen in the dark night, making everyone feel even more uncomfortable.

Suika looked at the enemies trembling in fear in the thick fog, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Just as their captain was about to give up the mission and leave this strange place, an ethereal girl's singing voice appeared in their ears like a whisper.

"O righteous one who wanders from home,

People who seek the origin.

Please go through the jungle to find the answer..."

A chill suddenly rose from the soles of their feet, and everyone felt their scalp tingling.

Because they couldn't see any enemies, but the singing seemed to be right beside their ears...

"Who! Who is it?"

After unable to hold back a scream, he started shooting around with a crossbow.

"On the first night, offer the curious person's head..."

When the song continued to this point, the captain in the front stopped the team members from going crazy.

But when everyone gathered together, they were surprised to find that one person was missing.

The missing one was the soldier who had shot the mysterious man before, and when they found the body, they discovered that he was headless.

"Damn it, that guy must be alive... Everyone, pay attention, find your comrades next to you, stand back to back and walk out!"

The captain reacted quickly and directed everyone to take action.

Soon everyone said they had found a partner.

The next second, cold sweat broke out on everyone's forehead.

Because there are only eight of them in total, and one of them is dead, so no matter how you calculate it, there must be one person who is without a companion.

But why does everyone have a "teammate" behind them?

Fear crept into their bodies at this moment.

Before the captain could give any more orders, a scream rang out as the song continued.

"Night two, dominate a beautiful body."

Several people immediately shot their crossbows in the direction of the screams.

After shooting, they approached carefully and found that the man was dead, his body full of arrows shot by their group.

"On the third night, eliminate the weak." The ethereal singing voice sounded again, and at the same time, one of the people in the team suddenly stiffened and fell down in front of the others.

By the time they turned him over, the man was already dead, with only a look of fear and unwillingness on his face.

"Damn it, damn it! Everyone, run back with me. No matter what happens, don't look back!"

The captain found that he could not understand the killing method of this mysterious opponent at all, so he decisively said that everyone should flee when disaster strikes.

"On the fourth night, the wise man will stab it."

After he gave the order, before he took a step, he felt a heaviness all over his body.

"The target is me!"

Sensing something was wrong, the captain tried to resist, but a familiar hand pierced his chest.

He turned his head in disbelief and found that the man who had just died had stood up and came behind him, and the hand that pierced his chest came from him.

Chapter 196 I, Suika, am a good ghost!

The captain's death made the others even more frightened.

They desperately ran back along the way they came, trying to escape from this horrific scene.

Behind them the ballad continues to sing

"On the fifth night, the elders were confused."

"On the sixth night, those who wake up will be nailed."

"On the seventh night, the timid ones shall be sacrificed."

Every time the ballad was sung, a soldier died, and in the end only one frightened man was left running desperately.

When he finally reached the edge of the woods after much difficulty, a wine glass appeared in front of him...

A few minutes later, looking at the enemy who had been frightened to death and completely lost consciousness, Suixiang stood up calmly, raised her Ibuki Piao and saluted the Shuangyue above her head.

"On the eighth night, the morning one is poisoned."

After dealing with everyone, Suika smiled

"It seems I have a talent for being a ghost. At least scaring people is no problem at all!"

He put Ibuki's peeper back on his waist, grabbed the man's collar and slowly dragged him into the depths of the forest, humming the ending of the ballad.

"On the ninth night, the witch resurrected, and no one survived..."

Above her head, a blonde doll lifted her skirt and said goodbye to the sea breeze as the song ended.

Baron Glamorgan waited outside Xiostar for two whole days, but received no news from the elite assassination team he sent out. Even no unusual news came from Xiostar, which made him feel a little uneasy.

They then sent people to search along the path of the assassination team, and what they finally found were eight dead bodies in the woods that had been torn beyond recognition by wild beasts.

The military doctor's examination revealed a horrifying discovery: except for one person who died of fright due to a ruptured liver and gallbladder, the others were killed in one blow. These veterans did not even have time to resist.

They removed the communicators from the soldiers and listened to the voices inside, trying to find out why they were killed.

Then the soldiers' panicked cries and the ubiquitous girl's song were heard.

After hearing this, everyone broke out in cold sweats and their faces turned pale. Apart from ghost stories, they couldn't think of anything that could explain how all this happened.

"This must be the curse of those demons...

Damn it, damn it, order the Warrior to retreat, Xiosta is so unlucky, I don’t want to stay here…”

The Baron of Glamorgan jumped up and hugged the staff officer beside him, shouting in panic.

After hearing the baron's words, the soldiers immediately started the high-speed warships and retreated in the direction they came from at a speed several times faster than before.

In Xiostari, Herman Dolkos had been worried. Although Victoria's high-speed battleship had been silent except for the initial threat after its arrival, he knew the Baron Glamorgan inside.

A selfish, cunning, cowardly yet arrogant villain.

He would never give up so easily after being rejected.

To this end, he made several preparations. Whether the other party wanted to target himself or Xiosta, he had corresponding plans.

However, after waiting for a few days, what they got was not the enemy's targeting, but the "Warrior" evacuated so quickly.

The retreating figure looked so terrified, like a frightened cloud beast that was at a loss as to what to do.

What exactly happened on the Warrior?

This question echoed in Herman's mind, but he could not know the truth.

Because after returning, Baron Glamorgan was relieved of his position as the Warrior by Duke Godottin, and the Warrior was incorporated into the Duke's fleet and later sailed to Londinium.

Baron Glamorgan went crazy after returning home, perhaps because of the previous shock or the loss of command of the Warrior.

He finally committed suicide in his own animal shed.

On the other side, after doing all this, Suika stepped into Xiosta and took a deep breath.

To be honest, Longmen is equally beautiful at night, but still not as lively as Xiosta.

Suixiang looked at the time. It was almost early morning, but there were still many people on the street.

Countless men and women in scantily clad clothes wandered through the streets and alleys, enjoying a nightlife rarely seen elsewhere.

Looking at the bright lights and feasting in front of her, Suixiang thought for a moment that she had returned to her hometown.

After entering the city, Suixiang quickly disappeared in the crowd.

Looking at the barbecued meat sold by the street vendor, Suika swallowed her saliva and moved closer.

"Brother, can I use a credit card here?"

……

Looking at the bank card in Cuixiang's hand, the vendor was speechless.

“No, ma’am.

If you don't have any money, you might as well take a rest for the night and then go to the bank to exchange some money tomorrow before going out to play!

Suika expressed regret that it seems that mobile payment in Xiosta has not become popular.

But think about it, in the past, only a certain big Eastern country dared to popularize mobile payment to individuals.

She did not act unreasonably, but instead asked about the location of the villa and walked in the direction indicated.

It took more than an hour for Suika to make her way through the crowd and reach her destination.

Looking at the dormant volcano behind and the endless ocean in front, Cuixiang had to admit that Shi Huaiya's family had chosen a very good location.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery.

The only bad thing is that if the volcano erupts, this place will be the first to suffer.

But that's none of Suika's business.

She couldn't possibly stay here until then.

"Mayor, the door of Villa No. 3 in the villa area has been opened!"

Shortly after Suika entered the house, news of her arrival reached Herman's ears.

"Villa No. 3, I remember it was bought by a noble in Victoria!"

Now a high-speed warship is staying not far from Xiosta. At this time, a nobleman suspected to be from Victoria suddenly checked in at night, which made him alert.

"How many people came?"

"Just one, a female, looks like an Etafian..." the person below answered.

"Hmm?" Hermann looked at the man.

"I've confirmed it. Based on the surveillance footage along the way, she's been alone since she entered Xiosta."

"Alone? Just send someone to keep an eye on her. As long as there's no trouble, Xiosta welcomes everyone to visit."

Hermann thought for a few seconds and then made the arrangements.

Lying on the giant bed that was five meters wide and seven or eight meters long, Suixiang was still lamenting how extravagant the rich people were.

Such a big bed can easily accommodate more than ten people, but this is only the bed in the master bedroom.

This made her think of the funny story of Long Aotian in some old novels, who woke up every day from a bed of several hundred square meters.

She tilted her head and looked at the Shanghai puppet not far away. The puppet that had followed her was now holding a small broom, touching and poking around like a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and then cleaning up the tiny bit of dirt...
