Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey
Page 176
"Hahaha, Miss Courier, you must have only been in Kjerag for a short time to find the scenery here strange. People like us are already tired of these snowy scenes.
Hey, messenger, what are you dragging?
Oh my god, a frozen dead alpine jumper, this is a rare thing, it smells very good, do you want us to help you deal with it?"
When Suixiang got closer, they were shocked to find that there was a dead jumping beast dragged by a chain behind Suixiang.
"When I was coming back, this thing blocked my way and nearly made me fall. I saw that it seemed to have died not long ago and should be edible in this winter, so I dragged it back."
As Suika spoke, she untied the chains, picked up the jumping beast and handed it over.
"Miss Messenger, you're really strong! This thing weighs nearly 200 pounds, and you can lift it with just one hand! That's amazing!"
The person who took the jumping beast thought it was not heavy because Suika held it so easily. However, when he got it in his hand, he almost couldn't hold it firmly. After wrapping it up and weighing it, he gave Suika a thumbs up.
Suika proudly raised her arms, showing off her invisible biceps.
"That's right. I'm known as the King of Super Strength in my hometown."
"Hahaha..." Everyone at the door couldn't help but laugh.
"What's going on outside?" The Great Elder has been feeling a very heavy pressure on himself since he sent people to hunt down Suixiang.
Before, when Suixiang hadn't come back, he thought that the matter was done, but when he suddenly heard laughter outside, a bad feeling came over him.
After all, if the people I arranged came back, they would definitely not make such a fuss.
After a while, the guard came back to report
"Great Elder, the messenger lady has returned... She's also brought back a jumping beast. Everyone, prepare to stew it in the cafeteria..."
Hearing the guard's words, the elder's pupils suddenly shrank. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his hands.
"You guys go down, I need to rest, I won't join you young people in the fun."
After the elder finished speaking, he turned and walked into the room.
After returning to the house, he covered his chest and could feel his heart about to jump out.
How come she came back?
What about the people you sent out?
Didn't find her?
Or was she killed?
Then why was she laughing so happily with others outside?
The confusion was about to drive the Great Elder crazy.
In the evening, a group of people sat in the house, eating hot soup and singing and dancing.
"Where's the Great Elder? Why didn't I see him when I came back today?"
Cuixiang looked around and saw that all the other elders were in the room except the chief elder. She couldn't help but ask the guard beside her.
"The Great Elder said he had caught a cold, so he went to bed first.
Oh, thanks for the reminder. I'll bring a bowl outside for the Great Elder so he'll have something to eat if he wakes up."
The guard said this and stood up, carrying a small bowl of broth and hurried over.
After the excitement, Suixiang returned to her room, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and blew towards the door.
Hundreds of Cuixiang, who were as big as rice grains, flew out and then arrived at the room where the great elder was.
Through the vision of the clone, Cuixiang discovered that the Great Elder was not sleeping at all and was very awake.
At this moment, he was sitting by the bed, frowning as he wrote a letter, and he didn't look like he had a cold at all.
After finishing writing, he stuffed the letter into the secret compartment beside him. At this moment, a girl named Suika took the opportunity to jump in.
Because of the dim candlelight, the other party did not find any trace of Xiao Cuixiang, and Xiao Cuixiang followed the letter to the other side of the secret compartment.
The person on the other side picked up the letter, looked at the person on it, picked up a feathered beast, tied the letter to it, and threw it out of a nearby window.
However, Suika's clone hid behind the letter the whole time and was not discovered by that person.
After the feathered beast flew out of the window for a while, the clone suddenly grew larger, then crushed the feathered beast to death, took the letter in its hand, and flew towards where Suika was.
In the elder's room, after finishing the letter, he sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned for a while before lying down.
"Is it really okay for you to go to bed at this time at your age?"
As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a voice ringing in my ears.
"Who!" He sat up suddenly but found that there was no one around.
After calming down, he lay down on the bed again. Unexpectedly, the sound came again as soon as he closed his eyes.
"Don't you feel a bit guilty about those people who died outside because of you?"
The Great Elder suddenly waved his hand but missed, and the noise attracted the attention of the guards outside.
"Great Elder?"
"Ahem, it's okay, no need to come in!" The Great Elder looked around in surprise, but there was still no one. Where did the voice come from?
He sat for a while, and when he couldn't stand it anymore, he fell asleep again.
"Aren't you afraid that those people you killed will come to seek revenge at night?" After he closed his eyes, a voice came to his ears.
He suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness but saw nothing but familiar furniture.
He could hear sounds when he closed his eyes, and hear nothing when he opened them. He endured until late at night, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes and passed out.
After he fell unconscious, a group of little Suikas ran out from all over and surrounded him to discuss for a while. Then, all the Suikas climbed onto the quilt and used density enhancement on themselves to make themselves heavier.
Under the pressure of the ghosts, sweat kept rising on the forehead of the elder on the bed, but he was firmly held in place by Xiao Cuixiang and the others and could not break free at all.
I can only allow nightmares and stress to invade me wave after wave in my sleep.
The next day, he woke up and found that his whole body felt like it had been hammered with a sledgehammer, from his head to his feet.
I couldn't even exert any strength.
After a night of sweating, he successfully turned what he claimed was a casual cold into a real cold.
In the morning, the guards called him for a long time but received no response. When they opened the door and saw that he looked so weak as if he was about to die, they were frightened and hurriedly called a doctor.
Suixiang had already taken back her clone and gained the memory of what she had done, and she chuckled. She asked these little guys to help trouble the old man and collect some interest, but she didn't expect the clone to have so much fun. If she had known, she would have gone into battle herself.
Chapter 322 Before the Exam
As for the letter that was not sent, Suika looked at the name and found that she did not recognize it. She thought it was probably a minor character that did not appear in the plot, so she burned it.
As for the content inside, it doesn't matter.
After all, no matter what is in the letter that is not sent, it will not be successful.
After getting up in the morning, she followed the guards to the door of the great elder to express her condolences.
The dazed elder shuddered when he heard Suixiang's voice.
I heard this voice so many times last night that even in my dreams, I could feel her whispering in my ears.
Fear, anxiety and all kinds of harassment throughout the night were the main reasons for his becoming like this.
But he didn't dare to say anything. The people he sent out hadn't come back all day. He was not a fool, so he could naturally guess that something must have happened to these people.
Coupled with Suika's almost undisguised "attack" against him, he had reason to believe that all this was her revenge.
Suika didn't know what the other person was thinking. If she knew, she would only despise him. How could this be considered revenge? It was just an appetizer or dessert. The real revenge would require him to pay with blood.
After "meeting" the Great Elder, Suixiang did not go out again today.
Because the exams will start tomorrow, Kjerag's students, led by people from several major families, have arrived at Manzhuyuan one after another.
Here, Suixiang not only saw students, but also people from the three major families.
"Miss Messenger, so you are here!" A loud voice attracted Suika's attention. Looking over, it was Actos, the bear dad walking towards her with heroic strides.
"After all, I naturally want to complete this matter perfectly. Mr. Actoros didn't expect you to lead the team here in person."
As Suika spoke, she looked not far away. Enthyotis and Latatos were also not far away, but when they saw Actos coming, they stopped and chose to watch from a distance.
To be honest, as far as Suika is concerned, if she really had to choose someone to chat with among the three, she would choose Actos.
After all, this guy is straightforward and doesn't mince words. Although he insisted on his position as a conservative for a while in the beginning, he was completely convinced after being forced to drink by Suika after several rounds.
Although he didn't bow down and serve as a younger brother like in some novels, he didn't continue to stick to his conservative stance. He would often call Suika when he got good wine.
So the relationship between the two sides is really not bad. If the forces behind him were not too stubborn and he did not currently have the ability to break the conservative stance, Suika might have upgraded his status from half a friend to a full friend.
"Where's the Great Elder? Why haven't I seen him today after such a long time?"
After the two chatted for a while, Actor felt that something was missing. He looked around and asked uncertainly.
"The Great Elder has been working tirelessly for this exam these past two days, but he's old after all. He caught a cold last night and fell ill in bed. The doctor saw him this morning and said he needed to rest.
By the way, you'd better control the students and keep the noise down for the next two days so as not to disturb the Great Elder's rest."
Suika answered seriously.
Hearing her words, Axtos and the other two heads of the family looked at the guards of Manjuin. The guards nodded in agreement with Suika's words, and Axtos said
"The Great Elder being ill is no small matter. Miss Messenger, please go shopping first. We have to go and visit him."
Seeing that the other two family heads were walking towards the residence of the Great Elder, Actor said goodbye to Suika and followed them.
"Look at it more, you won't be able to see it in two days!"
After watching them leave, Suixiang raised her eyebrows and whispered.
The departure of several clan leaders did not attract attention from the audience. After all, they did not need to personally manage the order and discipline of these students.
The people from the three tribes were negotiating with the guards, but it seemed that they were not very satisfied with the negotiation results.
Suika had anticipated this.
Because there are too many people, Manzhuyuan can't accommodate them all, but because of the sacredness of Manzhuyuan, there are no large places for students to stay around.
So the solution that Manzhuyuan finally came up with was that these students had to spend the night in their exam seats.
After all, if you want a place with suitable temperature and where so many students can rest, the best choice in the entire Manzhu Academy is the examination room.
But this arrangement obviously did not satisfy the people of the three tribes. But what did it matter if they were dissatisfied? They dared neither to cause trouble here nor to take the students away, so they could only accept it.
After Enchiodis and his companions returned, they remained silent about the news.
Suika looked at Actos who had an expressionless face. She guessed that these three people must have known about this matter for a long time and agreed to this arrangement, otherwise they would not be so calm.
As for the students... although they can give up on the grounds that the examination environment is too bad, no one will do such a stupid thing.
After all, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And the others probably hope that someone will give up so that there will be one less competitor.
Just as the students were being arranged into the examination room, Suika walked to the back of Manjuin.
Although the Great Elder fell ill, other matters were proceeding in an orderly manner because they had been arranged in advance.
When I arrived at the back where the test papers were placed, I learned that the copier had been delivered yesterday.
Based on the principle of not bothering two people with the same problem and that the more people who handle the test papers, the easier it is to leak, copies of these test papers were also handed over to the three people.
So the room where the test papers are kept is now surrounded. According to the previous plan, there will be no contact with the outside world before the exam.
After leaving here regretfully, Suika came to the examination room with her camera. At this time, the students had already been assigned their seats.
What surprised Suika was that although these people were not required to stay in their seats and the exam was tomorrow, everyone sat in their seats and read the book obediently.
Apart from the rustling sound of flipping pages, there was not a single other sound in the entire venue.
Suika saw Matterhorn not far away and walked over to pat his back (his shoulders were too high to reach).
The two walked out of the house
"What's going on inside?"
Suika asked, pointing towards the house.
"These children really care about this exam. They know their foundation is weak, so they are willing to spend every minute studying harder in the hope of passing the exam."
After hearing this, Suixiang fell silent. She seemed to see a group of people from the past in these children.
They went abroad one after another to learn advanced science and technology from various countries, and then returned to participate in the construction of their own motherland, braving huge risks and the differences between home and abroad.
