Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"Forget it, I was just saying it casually.

And I'm not based in Rhodes Island...

My travels in Terra have just begun, and there are still so many places I haven't visited.

The road to my dream is right in front of me, how can I stop and talk so easily? "

Chapter 183: Good Suika, Sharing Weal and Woe

When a few people were chatting, the door suddenly opened.

"SWEEP surprise inspection, everyone put their hands on their heads..."

The air conditioning entered the house along with the voice of a masked woman, but as soon as she walked in and saw a group of drunk old men lying on the sofa, the words that were about to come out of her mouth were stuck.

"What's going on?" Following closely behind the woman, Kal'tsit walked in with a frown.

After sniffing the alcohol in the air, she walked up to the nearest operator, reached out to open his eyelids to confirm that he was unconscious, and then looked at the others.

Finally, she set her sights on Ibuki Suika, the "murderer" who was most likely to have caused all this at the crime scene.

“I don’t know…

Yes, I poured the wine, but except for the two Ursus brothers, the weight of the wine drunk by each of the others did not exceed half a catty, and the Ursus brother drank less than eight ounces.

I don’t know why they became like this.”

Suika's sincere expression made Kal'tsit doubt whether she had made a mistake.

Half a pound of alcohol, even Ursus vodka, would not be enough to make these people drunk like this.

The other people not participating in the banquet not far away looked at Suixiang with complicated eyes.

She was right. In total, everyone drank less than half a pound of wine.

But why don’t you say that every sip of wine is different.

It would be strange if anyone could stay sober after drinking like she does.

"Notify the medical team, prepare emetics and hangover suppressants, and bring a stretcher to the bar in Area B7."

Kal'tsit sighed, then picked up her personal terminal and contacted the medical department.

Fortunately, no outsiders would come in at night, so Rhodes Island’s medical resources were not tight, and at least there was no problem in sending these drunk people back.

After she finished, she walked over to the outcast and sat down.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Outcast reached out and touched Suika's head, then told her what had just happened. She then told her about Suika's discovery of the Sarkaz's traces in Londinium.

Finally concluded

"Although this bar is somewhat well-known in Rhodes Island, it's impossible for Suika, who just joined the company, to know about it. So, it must have been ACE's decision for Suika to come here. They just underestimated her alcohol tolerance and didn't expect her to drink so much..."

Furthermore, we can be sure that she did not use any special Originium technique to persuade people to drink. All the drinking came from their own will.

Finally, I think the news she brought is very important and the issues involved are worthy of our attention.

If the Sarkaz really ally with some of Victoria's great nobles, I'm afraid our future development in Victoria will be severely hindered."

Kelsey nodded

"Ms. Ibuki Suika, I must emphasize that our Rhodes Island operators are strictly prohibited from drinking alcohol while on duty.

Of course, considering that you went out to work right after joining the company and did not read the precautions for current operators, I can let this matter go.

I know you can drink a lot, so you can drink by yourself. As long as you don't end up in the hospital, I won't care.

But please don’t give it to anyone else… Of course, if it’s just a low-alcohol drink that doesn’t affect your behavior, that’s fine.”

Before she could finish, Suixiang handed her a glass of fruit wine in front of everyone.

Looking at the fruit wine in front of her, Kal'tsit hesitated and changed the absolute ban to a limited ban.

The people around her breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her words.

Although I learned from the conversation between Suika and Outcast just now that she will leave the ship soon, there is still a chance to enjoy a glass of fruit wine in the next few days.

"Reporting to Dr. Kal'tsit, everyone has been loaded onto stretchers. Should we send them back to their respective residences or..." Queen Mother Kai's apprentice Yaye asked as she trotted over from a distance.

"Carry them all to the deck. If anyone is awake, have them go to the bridge to get some fresh air. Let's set it at twelve hours."

After saying that, Kelsey looked at Suika

"Perfect. Could you please tell me more about your experiences in Londinium and your encounter with Ducare?"

Suika nodded "Of course!"

Then she repeated what happened before, and Kelsey nodded after listening.

"Outcast is right. The intelligence and personal opinions you bring are very important to Rhodes Island. We will treat this matter with caution.

Thanks for the information too...

Later, I will have the Logistics Department approve a bonus for you as a reward for this mission and the intelligence you brought back."

When Suixiang heard Queen Mother Kai say that she would give money, she was no longer sleepy.

After all, no one can resist money, and people like her whose abilities are linked to money take this matter even more seriously.

"By the way, why did you come here in person regarding the bar matter?

Askalon can make the decision!"

Outcast looked at Askalon who had been hiding in the shadows not far away since he entered the house and asked with some confusion.

"Some say that Rhodes Island's elite operators are gathering together to plot something. I believe in their loyalty, but these guys always cause trouble for Rhodes Island when they get together, so..."

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, the others couldn't help but smile knowingly as they looked at those who were still drunk being carried out one by one.

When a group of strong but idle men gather together, once a poor military advisor appears, the whole situation will become out of control.

It just so happens that these "idlers" in Rhodes Island are extremely powerful and have first-class hands-on skills.

If we really meet an idea king, he might be able to turn Rhodes Island upside down.

"How about I go to the deck to get some fresh air later!" Suixiang said softly after seeing the last drunk man being carried out.

???

Several people looked at her in confusion. Outcast had clearly pleaded for her, and Kal'tsit had promised not to hold her accountable for forcing her to drink, so why did she still take the initiative to accept punishment?

"After all, the main reason for this matter is still related to us.

Everyone who was drinking went there except me, but I was the only one who was still safe. Telling others about it would make me feel a little out of place…"

Although she said so, Suika was still eager to try it out and experience the bridge culture of Rhodes Island for herself.

After all, it would be a pity no matter how you look at it if you landed on Rhodes Island and became a member of it but didn't share the joys and sorrows with your colleagues on the bridge.

"Okay, since you are willing, we won't force you not to do it." Seeing that Suika was so sincere, Kal'tsit agreed to her proposal.

When Suika arrived at the bridge, she looked up and saw two familiar figures...

Chapter 184: There is a traitor among us

"Hey, how come you two are here so early?"

Suika waved to the two familiar faces hanging on the bridge like sunny dolls.

"Ahaha, Suika, why are you here too...

Wait, did you break the record?

The operator who was killed on the bridge the fastest after joining Rhodes Island?"

Rhodes Island's chief engineer, the "profiteer" Klothir, said in surprise after swinging down.

"Indeed, did you get all those guys drunk?" Huafalin, who was looking at the operators being carried out one by one not far away, said happily.

She was shocked when she saw a large number of people being carried onto the deck on stretchers. She thought something big had happened inside Rhodes Island.

Fortunately, one of them suddenly turned sideways and vomited violently.

The stench made the medical staff subconsciously stay away, so she took the opportunity to stop the nearest medical staff and ask about the situation.

After learning that these people were drunk and were asked by Kal'tsit to be thrown up, she was still wondering where the alcohol came from in Rhodes Island. Could it be that these guys couldn't help but steal medical alcohol to drink? Kal'tsit asked if it was Suika.

At this moment, Suixiang happened to walk out from downstairs. There was no need to guess, there was only one truth!

"How can I get them drunk? They only had half a pound of wine and that's it. They're just a bunch of idiots, not worth getting drunk at all!"

Suika said as she hoisted herself up with the help of the operators nearby.

After being suspended in the air, Suika held up Ibuki's scoop and waved it towards the two of them. "Want some?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid Kal'tsit will really whip me after she finds out..." Huafalin shook her head and hid far away.

Meimei took a sip of the wine and looked at the two of them. "Speaking of which, why are you here?"

"Hey, stop talking! It's about that bathhouse thing. We were just fooling around, and we just happened to run into that old guy Kal'tsit... and that's what happened."

Klucil shrugged.

"I'm telling you, the old woman originally wanted us to hang for a whole day, but I thought that was impossible. If we didn't hang for a day, we'd be dried up like bats.

I happened to hear some rumors that those old guys at ACE seemed to be planning some kind of event, so I reported him and got the reward of only needing to be suspended for twelve hours."

On the other side, Huafalin said proudly.

Well, the real culprit who caught the unlucky ACE gang drunk by Kal'tsit has been found.

"Um, Huafalin..." Suixiang pointed to the stretcher not far away.

"Ah?" The Blood Demon looked bewildered.

"Do you think some of the people lying there look familiar?"

Suika reminded.

"Oh, of course I know him. It's Scout, Misery, Da Zhuang... ACE... Holy shit!"

When Huafalin saw the person inside clearly, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If these old guys wake up and find out that it was the information he leaked... Huafalin couldn't help but shudder.

"Ahem, little Cuixiang, you see, I've been very kind to you... Please, please, please forget what I said just now, okay?"

Huafalin begged with a smile on her face.

Hearing this, Suika's eyes narrowed and she showed a funny expression.

"Well, that depends on your performance!"

Warfarin wanted to say something, but at this time, some people had already woken up not far away. After hearing the message from Yaedai Kal'tsit, the woken operators walked towards the bridge with sad faces.

But when I got here and saw the three sunny dolls hanging above, my sadness disappeared all of a sudden.

"Doctor Warfarin, Chief Engineer Klucil, and Miss Suika, you're all here!"

After skillfully greeting the three people, the man also skillfully hung himself up with the help of the operator next to him.

"Da Zhuang, it seems you can hold your liquor quite well. Look at that little ACE, he's still dizzy!"

This is one of the two Ursus operators, and the one who drank the most besides Suika. Judging from the fact that he was the first one to wake up, his alcohol tolerance is indeed not exaggerated.

After the other party reached the same height, Suika started chatting with him.

"Oh, I don't deserve it! You are the master of wine... At most, we can only drink a little in front of you."

Thinking of what he saw before he lost consciousness: the other party grabbed ACE's collar and poured wine into ACE's mouth without changing his expression, he understood that, at least at the wine table, the other party was an opponent he could not afford to offend.

Then more operators regained consciousness one after another and were hoisted onto the bridge. Soon the bridge was densely packed with operators.

Fortunately, it was night time now, and twelve hours would only last until morning. Kal'tsit didn't have the heart to let the operators be hung all day in the summer daytime.

After seeing that all the people who were drinking, including Suika, were here, everyone felt relieved.

After all, this kind of punishment is nothing to everyone, and if the punishment is made, Kal'tsit will not receive any additional punishment.

On the contrary, if Kal'tsit did not punish them at all and sent them all back to their rooms, they would probably be worried for a long time.

Then everyone just hung around and started chatting.

"By the way, why don't I see Logos? Is he on another mission?"

Suixiang thought of the first boss she knew on the Rhodes Island main ship. She hadn't seen him this time when she came back, and she was a little confused about where he was.
