Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

However, compared to the 99.9% of the excited audience, the person next to him did not look so wonderful.

He looked at the Candle Knight with a gloomy face, and was very angry in his heart.

That damn woman hadn't completed the task he had assigned her. He felt that his will had been underestimated, and that he needed to make that woman and her family pay a heavy price to warn his subordinates who had ulterior motives that if they wanted to survive, they had to obey his orders.

Just as he took out his cell phone to arrange follow-up matters, the door opened and he saw the woman walking in from outside with a pale face.

"Waste, you waste!

How dare you come to see me if you fail to complete the task!

Damn it, I gave you chances again and again, and this is your reward?

Get lost! You and your useless family have no need to appear before me anymore!"

The man said in a domineering manner.

"sorry Sorry.

Please, sir, give me another chance... I can do anything..."

The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, but in return she received only cold words from the other party.

"Get lost! You're disturbing my performance. You're a loser who can't do anything right, and you still want to stay with me? It's a joke..."

He crossed his arms and looked at the arena. At this time, the Candle Knight and the Frost Knight were already fighting each other.

Before he could finish his words, a long thorn pierced his heart.

He turned his head in disbelief and saw the woman who usually groveled and fawned was now standing behind him with a distorted face.

Her wrist was pressing against her back at this moment, and a dagger shot out from the mechanism under her wrist and pierced her chest.

"You..." The man opened his mouth and blood gushed out. Then his eyes went black and he fell to the ground.

Looking at the dead man, the woman smiled bitterly with a pale face, then picked up his cell phone and made a call. She walked to a place not far from the other party, took out a strange round ball and placed it in the corner, then took out another dagger and threw it at the ball. The dagger hit the ball and bounced back and pierced her brain, and she fell down with a calm face.

"Tsk, what a love-hate relationship..." After watching all this, Suika smiled and took away the ball that could bounce back the dagger, leaving no clues of the assassination.

After doing all this, Suixiang looked calmly at the exhibition match in front of her.

As soon as they started fighting, the fighting styles displayed by both sides were very different. Perhaps due to the fact that she was almost poisoned, Viviana's attack looked much more fierce.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Frost Knight was easily crushed by the Candle Knight in terms of skills.

Although the former is indeed stronger than the latter, his clumsy attacks are useless in front of the opponent.

The Candle Knight's body was more agile and his speed was faster, so several of the Frost Knight's attacks missed.

However, no one was worried about the Frost Knight.

Because he has not yet used his "Originium Technique".

It was a spell that could significantly lower the surrounding temperature. According to the host, while the spell was in effect, the temperature within three meters around the Frost Knight could even drop to around minus 30 degrees Celsius.

This cold environment will greatly reduce the opponent's speed.

Even if he cannot catch up with his opponent's speed, after using this Originium skill to slow down his opponent, the Frost Knight can still rely on his strength far greater than that of his opponent to win.

This was also the reason why everyone thought the Frost Knight was most likely to win when they were in the bar before.

Of course, more people think that Candle Knight Viviana has a higher chance of winning.

Although beauty played a part in this victory, we must also admit that Viviana and her special and unfathomable candle magic played a big role in it.

After the two fought again, the Frost Knight deliberately exposed a flaw, allowing Viviana's sword to pierce his arm.

Amid the audience's exclamations, the Frost Knight unleashed his spell.

The biting coldness spread throughout the body and began to spread around at this moment.

Sensing something was wrong, Viviana tried to pull away but discovered that her weapon was stuck in the opponent's body, which was almost as hard as ice.

Of course she knew that she could easily escape by abandoning her weapons.

But without weapons, how could she continue to fight?

Thinking of this, she had to raise the candlestick.

Even in the daytime, everyone can clearly see the faint light from the candle.

In the dim light, it was not known whether the Frost Knight was in a trance or the candlelight warmed his torso, but Viviana found an opportunity to draw her sword, and then jumped back to avoid the Frost Knight's sure-win blow.

However, even after escaping the Frost Knight's attack, Viviana noticed that her skin, especially her hands, had varying degrees of frostbite.

After failing to hit the target, the Frost Knight realized that it would be difficult for him to find such an opportunity again.

But I can't give up the exhibition match, so I have no choice but to continue fighting.

Taking into account the opponent's terrifying frost spell, Viviana did not advance rashly, but chose a safer strike-and-run fighting method. With a speed faster than the opponent, she continued to draw scars on the Frost Knight's body.

But this way of fighting undoubtedly consumes a lot of physical strength.

At this time, Suixiang looked towards the referee's stand curiously, wanting to see how the other party would deal with this embarrassing situation.

After all, the Frost Knight couldn't hit anyone and couldn't catch up with Viviana, but his physical strength was relatively sufficient. However, he had no initiative and could only defend passively.

Viviana had the initiative and was much faster than her opponent, but the previous battle had consumed a lot of her energy.

But the opponent couldn't catch up with her, so if she delayed the time, she still had a chance to wear the opponent out.

But then the battle scenes wouldn't be pretty.

I don't think the Chamber of Commerce would agree to let a wonderful exhibition match end in such an ugly way.

Sure enough, just when the audience was about to get tired of the fight below, the referee struck the gong to signal the end.

In the end, Viviana was declared the winner because she left seventeen scars on the Frost Knight, while the Frost Knight only caused one injury to the hem of Viviana's skirt.

Although it was unfair to the Frost Knight, if the situation dragged on, after Viviana was exhausted, it was not impossible for him to find an opportunity to turn the tables.

But he was not a capitalist, and under the watchful eyes of the Chamber of Commerce, he could only admit defeat with regret and frustration.

Chapter 245 Detective Drama

Through his visor, the Frost Knight looked at the Candle Knight who was standing in the center of the arena and receiving cheers, feeling a little nervous.

Because before he came, there was a strict order from above that this exhibition match must be won.

But the result was a loss. Although he accepted the loss with a sincere heart, he now had to worry about what consequences this defeat would bring to him.

But he didn't know that the man who had always oppressed him and treated him as a tool still died in the box for unknown reasons.

At this time, Suixiang pressed the bell, and soon a servant came and opened the door to ask her what she needed.

"Bring me a cold beer. It's such a beautiful game, and we should let it go."

"No problem, distinguished guest. Would you like some more fruit?" The waiter asked another question when he saw that most of the fruit on the table had been eaten.

"Sure, but only watermelon. Remember to keep it cold!"

The waiter carefully closed the door after Suika finished speaking.

After a while, he brought the food up, and the second game was going on below.

Suixiang didn't recognize the two people on the field, and their fighting level was far inferior to Candle Knight and Frost Knight in the first game.

But the gap between the two is smaller, and the battle scene is even more intense than the previous one.

"How long does my ticket last?" Before the waiter was about to leave, Suixiang suddenly pointed at the ticket thrown on the table and asked.

The waiter came back and looked at it and said

"Dear guest, your ticket is valid for the entire day.

If you get tired of watching, you can go shopping with this ticket. If there is a game you want to watch, you can return through the channel you entered in the morning after showing the ticket.

If you need any help before you leave, we can help you clean up. If there are other things that are inconvenient, the door will remain closed until all the games are over tonight, when someone will come to clean the room."

The waiter told Suixiang in detail the purpose of the ticket. Suixiang had to admit that although the Chamber of Commerce was not very friendly to the poor, as long as one had money, the services and treatment they could provide would make people feel quite comfortable.

For me, the cost is worth it.

Just as she was enjoying the game while eating fruit and drinking wine, a sharp scream came from outside.

"OK, based on my experience of watching hundreds of episodes of Conan, with such a loud noise, it should be that the crime scene next door has been discovered!" Suixiang muttered as she stood up.

After all, the noise outside is so loud, if I sit inside and do nothing, it would be too conspicuous.

After walking out of the door, I found that many doors of the surrounding rooms were open, and some people dressed neatly or untidy came out from inside.

Then everyone looked at the maid who was sitting on the ground with a look of horror on her face with displeasure.

"The smell of blood, Watson, I smell a crime!" Along with a low male voice, Suika saw a man named Kuranta, dressed in old Victorian-style clothes, walking from behind the crowd with a strong but slightly lame man named Luper.

"Mr. Holmes, we are invited guests to visit today. It's not working hours... Wow, two people died. This is really not a trivial matter. Why don't we let the local police handle it." The Rupert man looked inside with disgust, then raised his eyebrows calmly.

From his indifferent tone, it can be heard that this Rupert must have seen a lot of dead people.

“No, no, no, Watson.

Look at the traces of blood, the time of death has been at least an hour.

The murderer dared to kill so openly and then leave. If those incompetent police were allowed in, I'm afraid they would accidentally destroy the evidence inside."

The great Detective Holmes stepped into the crime scene while speaking.

Suika, who heard the conversation between the two, looked over curiously, wanting to see how this famous detective from Terra solved the case.

But unexpectedly, he was stopped by Rupert Watson.

"My beautiful lady, death is not something a lady should be exposed to right now.

I suggest you go back to your room, have a sip of juice, a bite of dessert, and then continue watching the wonderful show below."

Suixiang looked at Rupert in front of her, nodded, turned around and walked back to her own room next door. However, when she left, she left behind a clone that was like a speck of dust, floating on the top of the eaves, watching the two people in the house.

"Watson, what are you still doing outside?" Holmes' voice came from the room.

"Oh, a beautiful lady next door almost saw the crime scene, so I asked her to go back.

So, Mr. Detective, have you found anything?"

Watson said as he walked into the house.

Holmes repeatedly examined the wounds and hands of the dead man and woman and showed a puzzled expression.

"Why, our great detective found no trace of the murderer?"

"No, no, no, it's obvious that this man died at the hands of this woman.

And this woman... logically speaking, she should have died of suicide, because I did not find any trace of a third person at the scene, including at the door.

But if it was suicide, how did she do it?

There should be a tool in this room that can help her.

But what about the props?

Go and see the maid outside. Is there anything she has taken with her?"

Holmes was indeed a great detective, as he was able to reconstruct the situation in the house in less than a minute.

But the most crucial thing is that the props that helped the maid commit suicide and turned the house into a homicide case of a mysterious person are missing.

Although Watson expressed his disdain for his companion, his actions were very quick. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he walked out of the room and subdued the woman who was sitting at the door in a daze after seeing the crime scene.

At this time, Suixiang was sitting in the house and said that even if she had bought the ticket herself today, it would be worth it to be able to see so many wonderful things.

She calmly watched the great detective searching the house like a headless fly, but he just couldn't find the key physical evidence.

Of course, it was impossible for him to find it, after all, Suika had already taken the important evidence away.

The great detective, without physical evidence, felt very uncomfortable as he was unable to explain the murder to the people around him using logic even though he could see it at a glance.

At this time, he could only pin his hopes on the maid. If the maid was an accomplice, then it was entirely possible that she would take away the evidence first after opening the door, and then shout to attract people's attention, making everyone turn their eyes into the house and ignore her who took away the evidence.

Holmes's idea was good, but unfortunately it was wrong.

Amidst the onlookers' angry gazes, Watson searched the maid from head to toe but could not find the evidence Holmes was looking for.

Chapter 246: Innocent Suspect

"No, no...I must have overlooked something..."

Holmes stroked his chin as he pondered the scene before him.

After he glanced around, he found a surveillance camera in the corner and his eyes lit up.
