Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Sensing the heat from the flames behind him, Mephisto dodged to the side in embarrassment.

At this moment, he hated Suika very much.

His own fighting ability is not strong, but his strong herd nature is the group nature.

If he wasn't a good player in the herd, his trump card would have been instantly destroyed by Suika, and he would not be afraid even if facing Tallulah.

Chapter 371 Farewell, Mephistopheles

At this time, how could Mephistopheles fight against Tallulah without any cards in his hand?

So after feeling the heat on his back, he could only dodge left and right.

"Why, Ino!"

Tallulah walked step by step behind Mephistopheles, and every time she attacked, she blocked his escape route.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Ino turned around and looked at Tallulah. Instead of fear, there was an arrogant and triumphant smile on his face.

"Hmm?" Tallulah frowned and looked around suspiciously, wary of the other party's "backup plan".

"Do you think I lost, Tallulah?" Mephistopheles said.

"Ino... No, Kosice, how dare you appear in front of me!"

Tallulah became extremely angry, and the temperature around her began to rise as she finished speaking.

"Hahaha, are you going to kill me, Tallulah? Come on!" Mephistopheles, under Kosciuszko's control, opened his arms, looking ready to be killed.

"Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Kosice's actions really made Tallulah a little confused about his train of thought.

But she raised the sword in her hand, thinking that no matter what the other party said, she would kill him first.

After all, the dead Kosice was the good Kosice, and she didn't want to listen to the other party's sophistry.

“When you killed me, you said you would find a way for the infected to survive, but now you kill the infected with your own hands.

You are betraying your ideals. You will eventually become like me through repeated choices, just like all the strategies I taught you, use them, manipulate them, and then subvert the world..."

Before he could finish his heroic words, Tallulah's sword pierced his chest mercilessly.

“Are you an idiot?

First of all, my ideals have never changed, but you taught me one thing...

What I need to save are those who can be saved, those who are willing to follow my ideals and my footsteps...

I am sorry, Ino, for not noticing your situation. I hope death will bring you eternal peace."

Seeing the black in Mephistopheles' pupils begin to fade and turn white again, Talulah knew that the black snake had given up Mephistopheles' body and the person in front of her had become Ino again.

"Ho ho~~" Ino wanted to say something, but when Tallulah's sword pierced him, the flames from his body had almost burned him out. If it weren't for his Originium skills that were still instinctively resisting, he would have died under that sword.

"I will bury you and Sasha together. This is the last thing I can do for you."

After Tallulah finished speaking, the fierceness on Ino's face faded away, revealing a childish smile, and then she lost her last consciousness.

When Suika flew back, Tallulah was pulling the sword out of Mephisto's chest.

"Are you okay?" Suika landed in front of Tallulah and asked when she noticed that everyone had strange expressions.

Tallulah shook her head, then repeated Mephistopheles' words with a strange look on her face.

"Huh?" After hearing what Tallulah said, Suika said her mind was full of question marks.

What's wrong with Kosice's brain? Does he think Tallulah is the perfect saint who insists on not killing?

Tallulah does have a very firm belief, but that belief does not mean that she will protect every infected person without reason and without bottom line.

After all, only your parents can do this. To be precise, if your parents' moral standards are above normal, they cannot indulge your children to this extent.

After years of continuous experience, Tallulah has basically found a path of her own.

On this road, she will do her best to help those who are traveling with her, and will also be full of compassion for those infected with tragic life stories. But at the same time, if someone's behavior seriously harms the collective interests of the infected, she will never sit idly by.

Like Mephistopheles, if he just advocated the use of force to resist Ursus, Tallulah would definitely ignore him.

Because she knew very well that not all infected people who had been abused by Ursus could sit down calmly and negotiate with Ursus and try to integrate into normal society.

However, the actions of the New Integration Movement were too extreme, causing great panic and prejudice against the infected among the general public.

So when Tallulah made up her mind to get rid of the New Reunion, Mephistopheles, as the leader of the New Reunion, was no longer on Tallulah's rescue list.

So the tactics that Kosciuszko tried to use to win her heart were a joke to those present.

"I have a feeling that, just like last year, Kosice is not dead this time..."

Tallulah said as she looked at the body of Mephisto in front of her.

Suixiang shrugged. She was not an expert in dealing with spirits, especially one like Old Loach.

Perhaps next time I have the chance to call upon the King of Hell, Shiki Eihime, or the God of Death, Onozuka Komachi. Or perhaps even the most hungry ghost in Gensokyo, the eight-point-full Saigyouji Yuyuko, and her guard, Yooooo~Yume. These characters specialize in souls and spirits, and I might consider giving Old Loach a try.

Now, after finally dealing with Mephistopheles, the group felt a rare sense of relief.

“Don’t be too happy too soon.

We speculate that Mephistopheles was an important trigger for the old Ursus aristocracy to seize benefits.

Now that he was killed, all the plans of the old nobles came to nothing.

I don't think the other party will give up so easily.

Because the little emperor's sword was almost at their necks.

So I suspect they’ll probably do something desperate.”

Seeing Tallulah waving her hand and spraying out a ball of fire that completely burned Mephisto to ashes, Suika looked at Scout and said.

Scout nodded

"I received news from Rhodes Island. According to PRTS calculations, Chernobog is a high-risk city. There is a high possibility of friction or even fighting with Da Yan. Amiya has decided to lead the team to infiltrate Chernobog and bring back Blademaster Tower, who was previously sent there for hibernation."

"What's the time?" Suika looked at him.

"Rhodes Island is currently advancing northward in Rembilt and will approach the border of Ursus in about half a month.

As for getting from the border to Chernobyl, because there are many infected people on our side, we can only sneak across, and it takes about half a month to enter the city.

So the time is set for a month later.”

Scout did not hide this news, because after this contact and action, he hoped that Suika, a powerful master, could participate in the rescue plan.

"Why does it take a month? We are so close, can't we just go there and get the swordsman?" Suika was speechless. Kirei Castle is so close, why does she have to wait for Amiya? Is it just for the opening animation of Arknights?

Chapter 372: It’s Hard to Meet and Hard to Part

Scout gave Suika a cold look

"You think I don't want to? Ursus isn't a good place, and Chernobog is at the center of the vortex. If only Amiya and Kal'tsit had the key to unlock Blademaster's dormancy device and could use it, I could carry Blademaster out of Ursus by myself."

"Then why didn't Kelsey come?

Whether it’s combat or commanding, her level is much better than Amiya’s…”

Suixiang asked knowingly.

……

Scout hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Perhaps there's something else holding Dr. Kal'tsit back... After all, she's the director of the medical department, and often she can't leave."

Although he was still trying his best to make excuses for Kal'tsit, his tone was very guilty, because he knew very well that according to the news from Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit did not agree with Amiya's opinion.

If the elite operators who opposed the proposal had not chosen to abstain from voting instead of directly voting against it, Amiya's proposal would probably not have been implemented at all.

Even so, only a few elite operators chose to participate in the end.

Otherwise, Scout would not have invited Suika to participate in this operation, because he was also very clear that the uncertainty and danger of this rescue were too great.

The more power they have, the safer Amiya and Blademaster will be.

"Okay, add me in when the time comes." Suika said that since that was the case, she would also go and see the classic opening scene.

"Is there anything we need to do?" Tallulah asked after she finished packing up Mephisto's ashes.

"Uh, forget it. The Reunion Movement isn't having an easy time right now, and it's a hassle for the infected to enter the city. It's not like I can just go there directly."

Although Tallulah wanted to repay Suika and Rhodes Island for their help, they were rejected after a brief thought.

After all, the Integration Movement itself is still on the edge of a cliff. The less it does, the lower the chance of being discovered, and the longer it can survive.

Everyone knows that if the integration movement wants to gain a foothold, it must wait until the day when the young emperor and the old aristocracy officially turn against each other.

The old aristocracy will definitely not accept the integration movement, but the little emperor is different. He doesn't have many cards in his hand, and in order to demonstrate the stability of his rule, he cannot easily use the most powerful central army group. Then the infected group, which has a deep hatred for the old aristocracy and is very easy to use and has low requirements, is a very useful weapon for him.

Even if the infected group cannot compete with the army of the old aristocracy on the front battlefield, they can definitely distract some of the old aristocracy's energy on the battlefield behind enemy lines.

But before that, the young emperor and his side would oppress the infected just like the old nobles. This was the subconscious choice of the people of Ursus for thousands of years, and it was not changed because of someone's ideas.

Talulah also knew the situation on her side and therefore did not continue to request, because the participation of the Reunion Movement would not effectively help Rhodes Island much, but might even make it difficult for Rhodes Island's operators to gain a foothold in Ursus in the future.

"What about me? What should I do?" Xingxiong looked at Suixiang with anticipation in his eyes.

Suika pointed in the direction of Longmen

"Has our Serious Crime Squad Inspector Xingxiong forgotten his identity?"

Of course you go back to work!

I’m enough for a spontaneous trip..."

After Suika finished speaking, Xingxiong finally realized that she seemed to have accompanied Chen to Ursus, but Chen went back and she stayed here...

To be honest, the experience in the past six months has been much more exciting than her previous decades.

After all, even if he was a gangster or a vagrant in the past, he would never fight with the Ursus army with real guns and swords, and he was chased for dozens or hundreds of kilometers on average every day.

"By the way, are these Mephistopheles' ashes? Why are you collecting them?"

Suika saw the cloth bag in Tallulah's hand and complained about how she had just put Mephisto's ashes in it.

"I promised Ino that I would bury him and Sasha together."

"Huh?" After hearing this, Suixiang said that even if she didn't scatter the ashes, she would at least bury the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, on both sides of the Ursus territory.

After all, the sins committed by the two of them are so numerous that they cannot be described in words if it were Dayan.

"Alas, the dead are the greatest... No matter how many wrong things he did when he was alive, death is like the extinguishing of a light. There's no way to bring him back to life and kill him again, right?"

Tallulah was quite open-minded.

"What should we do next?" Suika looked at Tallulah.

Tallulah tilted her head and thought for a moment before answering

"Or we can separate here.

I have to go back to the Reunion Movement to take charge of the overall situation, and there are still many remnants of the New Reunion Movement that need me to deal with.

Miss Xingxiong has to go back to Longmen, and Mr. Scout and you have to prepare for the next operation to rescue the swordsman.

Since everyone is busy, let's go about our business for now. Next time we get together, I'll cook a classic Ursus meal for you all."

They were partners fighting together just now, but now they have to separate. Xingxiong on the side feels a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, but you should be more selective with those guys in the New Reunion Movement. Those who have committed unforgivable crimes should be killed. Don't let them stay and become rat shit, ruining the good things in the Reunion Movement."

Even though the current Tallulah is not the completely idealized fighter in Suika's memory, nor is she the one who disregards life under the control of the black snake, Suika still subconsciously reminded her.

“Don’t worry… Bozhukasti and I talked for a long time after you left last time.

About Ursus, the infected people and his experiences and experiences.

I have long understood that ideals cannot be achieved simply by passion.

Especially the irreconcilable gap and hatred between the infected and Ursus.

Just like what I said to Kosice, my ideals have never changed, but I will make choices. Even if it is for the sake of those who are walking on this road with me, and for them to go further and safely, I will hold the weapon in my hand tightly.

If someone must bear the blame for this, it will be me."

Tallulah's tone was so firm that Suika felt as if she saw Usagi during the Battle of Londinium.

"That's fine! Anyway, we can contact each other through the communicator later..."

But, how about we find a place to eat first? It doesn’t feel very ceremonial to just disband like this.”

Suixiang's words made everyone smile, and they all said that they were already hungry after the battle, and they must have a big meal at Suixiang's house before leaving.
