Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

???

"Do we need this?" Seeing Shanghai's prepared look, Suixiang was a little shocked. Did she already know what he was thinking?

But wearing a mask is not necessary for me at all.

After all, the most prominent feature of my body has never been my face.

In other words, even if you can't see your face, people who have seen you once can still easily recognize you in a crowd.

After all, the height, the horns, and the blonde hair are too eye-catching.

But after thinking about it, she didn't refuse, because she had just coaxed the little thing, and if she refused now, what if the little thing got angry again?

After taking it, she left a clone in the house, and then jumped out of the balcony with Shanghai.

In the dark night, a cloud of mist spread in the air, floating over Cavaleliaki like a cloud, without disturbing anyone.

Soon the two flew to their destination, which was the legendary Plot Zero - Casimir. On the surface, it was a shelter and treatment center funded by the Supervisory Council to examine and treat infected knights, but it was an infected shelter area that was not open to the public. In fact, it was a place to accommodate and "process" the infected.

Soon after she came in, a murder unfolded before her eyes.

A family of three, all of whom looked severely infected, were running desperately, and behind them were dark shadows and an indistinct murderous intent that filled the entire street, like a terrifying giant snake, ready to devour the family of three at any time.

"Ah!" An arrow shot at the woman and pierced her thigh. She rolled to the ground with a scream.

"Mary!"

"mom!"

Two shouts rang out at the same time, and then the other two who were still running stopped.

"Hurry, run... Don't worry about me..." the woman shouted to the two men in grief.

"No, we are a family. I can't leave you no matter what!" The man gritted his teeth and stood in front of her.

"Swoosh, swoosh" several more arrows shot out from the darkness, and although the man was standing in front, the arrows bypassed him and shot straight at the woman who fell to the ground behind, piercing her limbs.

Seeing this, Suixiang frowned.

Every day in Terra, people die from various circumstances, whether it's revenge, natural disasters, or mineral sickness.

Suika never thought of herself as a good person who could save everyone, so she was originally prepared to be a silent bystander in this attack.

But the behavior of the man in the darkness was too bad.

He could have killed the three people easily and efficiently, but he chose to kill them in the most cruel and brutal way.

This made Suika very dissatisfied.

Killing is just a nod of approval, and it's not some deep hatred. It's really shameful that a group of killers don't do their job properly and do such things.

Thinking of this, Cuixiang turned into mist and floated over.

Before she could make a move, assassins emerged from the darkness, their longbows aimed at the three people in the middle of the road.

"Alex, Mary, and Marne... Do you think you have a chance of escaping Casimir after doing something like this?

What do you think the Business Federation is? What do you think the Heroless Alliance is?

Who do you think Casimir is?

The leading man looked at the three people indifferently and said.

When "Gulu" saw the person coming, the man called Alex showed a look of despair on his face.

"Such a small matter actually caused the dispatch of a Qingjin Great One..."

"It's a small matter? Consul Avina thinks you are a promising talent and is willing to use the precious blocker quota on your family.

But you betrayed her trust and hurt her feelings.

Just because that woman instigated you, you actually injured the doctor who came to treat you and stole the expensive blocker.

If you were to successfully escape and everyone followed your example, wouldn't Casimir be in chaos?

Do you still think this is a trivial matter?"

Qing Jin looked at Alex indifferently and questioned in a cold tone.

The man glanced around and found that the area was impenetrable before he pleaded.

"The potion is here. Mary and I are willing to go back with you to accept the punishment... Please let Marn go... He is still young, just a child."

Hearing his words, Suixiang looked at the boy behind him with a strange expression. The boy was almost the same height as him and was probably about seventeen or eighteen years old. Is this also a child?

"Shut up! Don't think I don't know that the instigator of the drug snatching is the child you mentioned!"

Qingjin raised his hand indifferently, and as he did so, the others raised their longbows, aimed at the three people, and pulled the bowstrings to their full extent.

"Damn it, we just want to survive, what's wrong with that!" Seeing the Wuzhou Alliance preparing to take action, Alex roared, a layer of flames burned on his body, and the next second a cold arrow from the darkness pierced his throat.

"Ho ho ho..." Alex opened his mouth to say something, but this thing pierced his trachea and pierced his Adam's apple, making it impossible for him to say anything more.

"Kill!" With the wave of Qingjin's hand, arrows fell like raindrops towards the three people.

The last child who still had the strength to move tried to resist, but in this situation, that weak counterattack was useless. After just one round of arrow rain, the three of them were shot like hedgehogs.

At this time, another Qing Jin came out from the darkness.

"Why waste so much time talking to this kind of person?"

"Nonsense, of course not. I'm telling those people peeping nearby...just work honestly after receiving the benefits. If anyone dares to follow their example, I guarantee an arrow will fall on their head in the next moment."

Qingjin looked around. There was quite a commotion here, and it was happening on the street.

There were many infected people around who were secretly watching what was happening outside through the gaps.

Chapter 241: Not a Saint Xiao Cuixiang

The three people who died on the street were actually arranged by him on purpose.

After all, since he was able to block the three people on their way to escape, he could naturally kill them before they could take action.

The reason why they waited until this point before taking action was simple: to deter other infected people.

Let them know that the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission can give them hope of survival and can also take back their lives.

Since you have chosen to accept it, the only result of wanting to change your mind at the last minute is death.

You have to know that the infected will die sooner or later. The Commercial Federation not only provides them with medicine, but also teaches them how to fight and packages them as knights. Although their lives are somewhat controlled afterwards, they can still live comfortably as long as they can still bring in profits.

But there are always some people who are greedy and want more than they can chew. Even though they have been treated so well, they still yearn for that unrealistic freedom.

Don't even think about what you are.

At this moment, he heard the heavy breathing coming from the surrounding houses and nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's drag these three pieces of shit away and burn them. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Knights' Games, and we can't allow any more bad influences to occur.

By the way, why are you here? Didn’t you say you would leave this matter to me alone? "

After doing all this, the man looked at the woman who had killed the man, who was also another person who held the same position as him.

"Don't mention it, it's still about tomorrow's opening ceremony..." the woman said with a look of disgust.

"Didn't the higher-ups previously invite some people to work on the opening ceremony? But when I went to check today, I found out that they had given them a big job.

I found two gay men who were all dressed up and doing an outdoor threesome, and they almost pissed off their boss...

Then they asked me to deal with those three people, right in that room... Do you want to see what they are doing?"

"Wait, wasn't it two people? How did it become a three-person play?" the man asked curiously.

The woman rolled her eyes. "The other one was the director... He personally did it... Don't mention it, it makes me sick just talking about it..."

After hearing what the woman said, the man went to take a look at the door of the house. When he came out, he had a devastated expression on his face. He felt that his Tao heart was almost destroyed by the scene inside.

"Let's go, and ask two people to clean up the house. I don't want those arrows anymore, so let's burn them together.

Let’s go back and hand in the task. I hope I won’t encounter this kind of thing again next time…”

The woman shook her head and asked the man to leave together.

In the shadows not far away, Suixiang stayed here.

When she heard the conversation between the two people just now, she thought she had been discovered, but later she found out that the person they were talking to was not her.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the woman's words. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat.

But Suixiang said that she was a ghost and came from another information-rich society. She had seen all kinds of things, so she was ready to go and see what kind of scene could make a Qingjin Great Master lose his heart.

Then she said she needed an eye that hadn't seen the scene inside.

"Wow, wow, wow... Shanghai, my eyes are dirty..."

She looked like she had seen everything just a moment ago, but now she is holding the doll to show that she has never seen such a scene before and she doesn't want to see it again.

Shanghai speechlessly reached out and pushed her face away, then pointed outside the passage.

The next second, a figure appeared there. He looked around suspiciously, but found nothing.

"Hmm, that's strange. There was a sound, so why is there no one there?"

He glanced around again to confirm that there was no room for anyone hiding in this dead end before turning and leaving.

By this time, Suika had already flown into the sky with the doll.

She turned into mist again and shook her head. She felt that what she saw tonight was simply too exciting. If she saw too much, she would easily have nightmares. She should just go back to sleep.

After returning to the hotel, the Shanghai Doll held a piece of paper and wrote: "I thought you would go and save people?"

Suika looked at Shanghai in surprise, "Huh? Am I some kind of saint?"

[Didn’t you save several people on the road before? ]

"That's because those people know me and have done me a favor, and I, Suika, always repay a favor.

What does this family say this time...

It’s actually up to you to save him or not, but I didn’t because I also hate people who don’t keep their words.”

To be honest, at the beginning, Suika wanted to save people.

But after Qingjin Dawei explained the reason why these three people were being hunted, she chose to give up.

Although the Supervisory Council and the Chamber of Commerce are not good people either, they gather these powerful infected people to make the knight competition more entertaining. Once the infected people lose their usefulness, they will most likely be ruthlessly abandoned.

But when others have done nothing and are treated so well, it is very immoral to want to escape without saying anything.

But it’s actually nothing here. After all, everyone is afraid of death sometimes, and it’s understandable that they want to survive.

But they did something that Suixiang couldn't accept, which was that before leaving, they beat up the person who delivered the medicine and stole the medicine.

This reminded her of Anto, a doctor who was clearly trying to save people in the plot but was killed by a conspiracy.

In addition, when I was in Rhodes Island, I also heard a lot about Rhodes Island's medical operators not being understood when they were treating the infected, and some even came back with scars and grievances.

In Suika's eyes, this family is no different from ungrateful people.

So even if she was shot to death by arrows, Suixiang's mood didn't even fluctuate too much.

After listening to Suika's explanation, Shanghai flew to the head of the bed with satisfaction and found a position symmetrical with the Hina doll and sat down.

Suika, who had been in contact with Shanghai for so many days, also understood what the other party meant from her actions.

When this guy is in a good mood, he will take the initiative to cater to Suika's mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When she is unhappy, she will deliberately make everything out of proportion in front of Suika, making herself uncomfortable and not making others feel comfortable.

And now she took the initiative to choose a symmetrical position to rest, which proved that she was very satisfied with Suika's answer.

After washing her eyes carefully, Suixiang lay on the bed and opened and closed her eyes until the next morning.

"The exhibition match was at 11 o'clock, the entrance time was at 9 o'clock, and the opening ceremony was at 10 o'clock... Tsk, is the schedule so tight?

I hope there won’t be any performance that makes people’s eyes go dark today…”

Thinking of the weird things she saw last night, Suika couldn't help but shudder.

Chapter 242: Knight Competition, Opening!

After going downstairs to the restaurant and taking out her room card, the waiter enthusiastically took her to the VIP area and brought her a menu.

"Well, it's free?" Suixiang found that the menu only had photos and names of the items, but no prices.

In this case, either the hotel wants to make a big rip-off, or it is completely free.

Considering her high accommodation fee, Suixiang probably wouldn't choose the first option in order to maintain her reputation among the wealthy people when she came to this hotel.
