Arknights? Yesterday's Arknights!!

I heard it's a terminal illness; crystalline stones will grow on the surface of the skin, causing constant pain, and in severe cases, it can affect mental health until death.

If it were just a terminal illness, it wouldn't be so hopeless. On this continent called Terra, those suffering from Oripathy are known as Infected.

Due to its high transmissibility, it is avoided by all ordinary people. Coupled with the deliberate propaganda by some governments, the conflict between ordinary people and those infected has been going on for a long time.

Thinking of this, An Xin's expression shifted between light and shadow, and she took a deep breath.

Another secret needs to be hidden.

He left the room.

The afternoon sun was too bright, stinging An Xin's eyes. He raised his hand and shielded his eyes from the sunlight.

Not far away, a maid bowed to An Xin, extended her hand, and gestured for her to enter.

“Mr. An, Mr. Wei has been waiting for you.”

Chapter Ten: She's Just a Mascot

From a Fu Rui fan's perspective, this maid must be very beautiful, at least enough to make someone like An Xin, who has a normal fetish, interested in masturbating.

This time when Anxin came back, she felt that everything was completely different from the last time.

how to say.

The last time he went to see Wei Yanwu, he was just a lowly guard; now, when he goes to see Wei Yanwu, it has the air of a meritorious official.

Talulah, is she gone?

An Xin's eyes still held some worry. She shook her head and strode forward.

After turning through several corridors and pushing open the door, a table of delicious food was laid out before me. Besides Wei Yanwu, Chen Huijie was also there, but Talulah was nowhere to be seen.

Upon seeing him enter, Wei Yanwu gestured for him to sit down.

An Xin pursed her lips and sat down opposite him. The two of them just stared at each other without saying a word.

Chen Huijie tugged at Wei Yanwu's sleeve. The old dragon took a puff of his cigarette, pulled out a peach wood sword, placed it on the table, and spoke.

“Talulah, you chose to leave with Kosich. It’s not your fault. I, Wei Yanwu, owe you a favor.”

This peach wood sword is a fine staff; consider it compensation for your broken one.

“........” An Xin nodded. “You don’t owe me any favors. My willingness to save Talulah has nothing to do with you.”

"Is it."

Wei Yanwu seemed thoughtful. "Do you plan to stay?"

"No, I have to go." An Xin clasped her hands in a fist salute. "It was my dereliction of duty that I failed to protect Talulah at the beginning. I have no face to stay here."

“An Xin…” Chen Huijie pouted, her eyes slightly red. Her sister had just left, and now An Xin was leaving too.

"Sorry." An Xin glanced at Chen Huijie, picked up the peach wood sword, and prepared to leave.

She jumped off the chair, trying to pounce on An Xin, but was stopped by Wei Yanwu.

Finally, Chen Huijie's eyes reddened as she silently looked at An Xin.

A feast of fine wine and food couldn't keep him, nor could the favor Wei Yanwu promised him.

Only...

An Xin came to Chen Huijie, half-squatted down, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand.

"Don't worry, I'll come back in the future, and Talulah will come back too."

"Hmm, when are you coming back?" Chen Huijie held his fingers, her soft, boneless little hands were a little cold, and her thumb rubbed her little face.

An Xin smiled, pinched her nose, hugged her, and said.

"I'll wait until... the day you can become a true hero, serving your country and its people."

At that time, you won't need me anymore.

This is just a game.

Everything will disappear after I leave.

An Xin let go of her hand and rubbed her little head. "See you later, Chen Huijie."

"Yes, we agreed that you would come back when that day comes." Chen Huijie reluctantly let go of her hand.

"must."

An Xin stood up and tied the peach wood sword to the top of the iron sword. It was a little shorter than the iron sword and easier to pull out.

I believe that the new "staff" Wei Yanwu gave him will be no worse than the old one.

The staff was broken and had been placed in a box by Wei Yanwu, with a separate paper bag for easy carrying.

The two meetings with Wei Yanwu were completely different in their circumstances.

An Xin smiled, wondering if the Wei Yanwu outside the game and in real life was the same as the one in the game.

After wandering aimlessly through the alleyways, turning left and right, An Xin decided to end the game.

【game over】

[Game objective completed]

[You have made almost no difference to the world; no new world line has been generated.]

[Settlement in progress...]

You have received a peach wood sword and 500 points. No special rewards.

The burly young man's figure gradually faded into the shadows and eventually disappeared into the deserted alley.

In an instant, several people in black raincoats flashed by.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of congestion in the space. An Xin felt dizzy, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back in the Guard Bureau building.

He gripped the edge of the windowsill, clutching his chest with his hand. His heart was pounding so hard that he began to gasp for breath.

I didn't have this feeling when I started the game. Is it because of Oripathy?

Or perhaps it's because life has fallen to five o'clock.

An Xin's lips were pale. After resting for a few minutes, she felt a little better.

He touched his right upper arm and could feel bandages and some stone-like tissue.

"hiss."

He took a deep breath; the pain wouldn't subside anytime soon, and Oripathy would likely leave him with this suffering for the rest of his life.

We must find a way to recover from this illness.

Even if a doctor uses Originium Arts to treat him, it will probably take another month for the penetrating wound to heal.

Anxin doesn't have much money left. Is she relying on the Guard Bureau's salary?

Forget about recovering from the illness, I probably wouldn't even have enough money to buy an inhibitor for Oripathy.

He glanced at the watch on his left wrist, and sure enough, the time hadn't changed at all.

Then I went to collect my police uniform.

As you walk along the corridor, your shadow leaps in the shadows; it pops out from the sunlit windowsills and hides in the sunless walls.

An Xin stopped in front of an office to confirm that this was where she would receive her police uniform.

Wait a minute, that guy told me... what's this place called again?

In reality, it's only a moment, but in the game, three real days have passed.

She must be some rich young lady. The police officers had good memories, and he remembered her before knocking on the door.

An Xin's eyelids twitched, her fingers loosely clenched, and her knuckles collided with the solid wood door panel, making a "bang" sound.

"Enter!"

"Excuse me, I heard that police uniforms are picked up here, is that right?" An Xin pushed open the door and asked the person behind the boss's chair.

The office was luxuriously decorated, far superior to Chen Sir's place.

Having just seen Kosiché's European aesthetics and Wei Yanwu's ancient Chinese style, An Xin had only one assessment of this office—nouveau riche.

He subconsciously activated his Detective Eyes, then froze on the spot, his body stiffening, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.

because........

He recognized the name.

The four little girls who played in the yard back then were Chen Huijie, Talulah, Lin Yuxia, and Swire in front of me.
