Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

After saying that, he trotted to the bar, took out a guitar from behind the bar, and then stood on the bar and let out a meaningless roar.

Suika said that whether it sounds good or not is not the point, but the look is indeed very rock and roll.

Unfortunately, when it comes to music, she is a classical music lover and prefers more melodious songs, so she can't appreciate the heavy metal of the Great Emperor at all.

After singing a few lines, he jumped off the table and ran to Suika again.

"Can I have another drink? I feel like my inspiration is flowing..."

"Okay, but this wine is pretty strong, two glasses is enough!"

Considering that the emperor was holding a wine glass, which didn't look very big, and one glass was nearly the volume of two ordinary glasses, she didn't want to get the emperor drunk, so she reminded him.

"No problem! Fill it up for me..." said the emperor proudly.

Half an hour later, the door of the bar was opened again.

"Boss, boss, we're back!"

The red-haired angel walked into the house with brisk steps, and was greeted by the boss who was sleeping upside down on the bar, like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

"Oh my God, boss, what's wrong with you, boss!" Miss Angel skipped to the emperor and patted his face, but there was no response.

"Why is the boss so drunk? Where is the Islamic people?" The handsome wolf cub who followed him into the bar with a POKI in his mouth looked around the room and asked in confusion.

"I'm here!" Is came out from behind, holding a broom and a handkerchief in his hands.

Texas lifted the emperor upside down and shook him like a dead chicken.

"How much has he drunk?"

"Stop messing with the boss, Texas. He only had three drinks." Is said helplessly as he watched Texas showing no respect for the boss at all.

"Huh? Three glasses? He drank three glasses of alcohol?" Texas looked unconvinced. The emperor's alcohol tolerance was not such that he would be drunk by three glasses of wine.

"You heard right, three cups...

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Is shrugged.

While the few of them were chatting, the emperor, who had been shaken by Texas for a while, barely woke up.

“Texas…you’re back.

Where are my sisters?

Is, where are my sisters?"

The Emperor raised his eyes and glanced around, not seeing Suika, so he turned around and asked Yis.

"Sisters?" Texas and Archangel both had strange looks on their faces.

"Oh, I just became sworn brothers with a sister..." the emperor said happily.

"He hasn't woken up yet?" Texas looked at Is, and the Archangel next to him nodded in agreement.

"The boss got drunk just now, and when he saw someone leaving, he insisted on dragging them along to burn incense and swear brotherhood..."

Yis told them about the emperor's drunken behavior before they came back. The emperor not only did not deny it, but was also very proud of it.

"That's right, I can tell from the first sight that girl that she can accomplish great things..."

"You are after someone else's bar!" Texas said bluntly. Seeing this, the Archangel next to him reached out and shook the Emperor's head.

"Wine is of course an important part, but the aura on that person is very scary!" The emperor became more sober after being shaken by the Archangel.

His actions just now were not done on impulse. As a beast master, he felt his blood boiling and screaming when he saw Suixiang.

He is not a fool. Such obvious feelings would never come from an ordinary person, so he deliberately contacted Suika.

During the brief exchange, he found that the other party had no ill intentions, so he thought of pulling her to his side.

Unfortunately, the invitation was rejected by the other party.

At that time, Suixiang didn't know why the emperor invited her, but her next plan was not to stay in Longmen for a long time, so she refused the emperor.

After she rejected the invitation, the emperor insisted on becoming sworn brothers with her. In desperation, she could only use her ability to persuade the emperor to drink and get him drunk under Yis's helpless gaze before running away.

On the other side, Suixiang also returned home.

She can only say that this trip with Penguin Logistics was a great profit.

After she refused the invitation, the Emperor took out a stack of money from behind the bar. At that time, Cui Xianghai thought that the Emperor was going to throw the money at her, but he said that it was rare to drink such good wine, and the stack of money was the money for the wine.

His only request was for a drink.

Faced with such a generous boss, how could Suixiang bear to refuse?

After all, you can have as much wine as you want from Ibuki's gourd, and it costs nothing. As for what will happen after three cups, at most you will just sleep for a day and a night, which has no effect on the emperor's physique.

After taking the money and filling his glass with wine, in order to prevent him from regretting his decision and asking her for the money back, Suixiang left Penguin Logistics on the pretext of having other things to do.

After returning home, she took out the money from her bag. There were exactly one hundred bills in the stack, which was exactly ten thousand Longmen coins.

At this time, Cuixiang expressed some regret. If she had known that the emperor was so rich, she would have gotten more from him.

As for the money, she didn't plan to use it immediately but kept it for the time being.

Because she still hasn't figured out what kind of things are behind the other two chains, even after figuring it out, she still needs to study what she needs.

Because if I were in Longmen, my current skills would be more than enough.

As an ordinary person, she has no idea what she lacks and what she needs to strengthen, so she plans to take it one step at a time.

At this time, she didn't know that several "old" friends in Penguin Logistics, both familiar and unfamiliar to her, had become interested in her.

Chapter 22: Separation of Life and Death

Three days later, Suika finished selecting the letters and prepared to go out as usual.

"and many more!"

He called her again.

Looking at the other person who was jogging towards her with his hand extended, Suika seemed to hear him say, "Fellow Daoist, please stay."

"what happened?"

Looking at the person in charge, her face was calm.

After the incident that day, Xingxiong came back at night and told her the confessions he got from those gangsters.

One of the things that caught Suika's attention was that the expedited mail from this site had not been distributed to anyone other than the gangsters for half a year.

She was very surprised to hear the news, because she clearly remembered that the manager personally delivered the letter to her. He said that there was no one else at that time, so he arranged for her to deliver the expedited letter that might get him a generous reward.

Judging from the fact that he was targeted as soon as he went out, it was obvious that those thugs were all in the post office, or at least nearby. It was impossible for him to be unable to find them as he said.

After hearing the doubts raised by Suika, Xingxiong interrogated the leading gangster again the next day, and then found out about the relationship between the person in charge and the gangster.

In the end, the person in charge's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife naturally surfaced.

At that time, Xingxiong thought that this person had bad intentions and that if he continued to work for him, he would probably use him again.

Suixiang said that she would just ignore him from now on. She was not short of money anyway. After all, it was not expensive whether she cooked by herself or went to a restaurant nearby.

So just ignore his sweet talk and focus on taking care of the mail on the street.

Faced with Suika's insistence, Xingxiong could only accept it helplessly.

At this time, feeling the alienation of Suika, the person in charge smiled awkwardly.

"Well, weren't there a few little bastards who gave you trouble before? I heard they were picked up from the police station by their families last night.

Those guys are unscrupulous and despicable. The leader is narrow-minded. Remember to go where there are many people on your way back.

Even though those guys are shameless, they still don’t have the guts to commit such a crime openly in Longmen…”

Suika raised her eyebrows and said, "I understand..."

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

When she reached the door, she saw the gang leader standing there with a grim face.

Suika pouted at him

"You heard me, right? That guy has always been treating you as a serious threat."

The man's expression changed several times, and finally turned into anger.

"Very good, I am petty and mean...very good..."

There was no need for Cuixiang to continue adding fuel to the fire. The person who heard the person in charge's words clearly had already developed a complete decoration plan for the person in charge's house, from the door to the windows.

Don't worry about the dog-eat-dog fight between the person in charge and the thugs.

Suika continued her happy life as a messenger.

In just a few days, almost all the neighbors on the street knew that there was a new young messenger here.

After seeing her, people who have had interactions with her will greet her in a friendly manner.

At the end of the month, Suixiang received her first salary at the post office, a total of more than 1,300 Longmen coins.

This is simply because there are too few letters on this street, and it was already the middle of the month when Suika went to work.

But she was still very happy, at least the person in charge did not say something disgusting like she only started working in the middle of the month, so her salary would be withheld and paid together next month.

Of course, the person in charge who was previously neatly dressed has become much more disheveled these days and has become thinner.

He basically stayed in the office these days and didn't go anywhere. If it weren't for the fact that we knew he was still in the room, everyone would think he was missing.

After taking the money from the other party and looking at the person in charge who looked much older, Suixiang sneered in her heart. It turned out that evil will be punished by evil.

After receiving her salary, she went to pick up the package.

Glancing at the cabinet, she noticed there were a lot more letters today than usual.

But after taking one, she frowned.

Because this is not an ordinary letter, but a notice of death of a soldier from the Dayan military.

Looking at the several identical letters on the cabinet, Suixiang couldn't help but sigh that it was almost the New Year, a festive time.

Once this letter arrives, I’m afraid these families won’t be able to have a good New Year.

Moreover, with so many letters sent at once, I don’t know if there is a problem in the north or in the border of Ursus.

After flipping through the death notices, Cuixiang was relieved to find that there were only two from her street, and none from Grandma Wang's family.

Because she remembered that Grandma Wang's youngest son seemed to be serving as a soldier on the border near Ursus.

After collecting the letter and then packing up the other letters, Suixiang walked out the door.

As soon as I came out, I saw a tricycle parked in front of the post office. Xingxiong patted the seat next to it with a smile on his face.

"First paycheck, shall we go celebrate?"

Suika sighed

"Let's send the letter first...

Today’s work…is not easy.”

Hearing Suika's words, Xingxiong came closer.

"what happened?"

Suika opened her backpack and revealed a corner of the death notice.

Xingxiong was stunned for a few seconds after seeing it, and then he sighed

“It’s almost Chinese New Year…Alas”

"Yeah, it's almost Chinese New Year, and I suddenly received this kind of news..."

After getting on the bus, Xingxiong didn't continue talking, but patted the seat next to him.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Soon they arrived at their destination. Looking at the streets that had become much busier as the year was drawing to a close, they both sighed at the same time.

After a brief hesitation, Suixiang chose to deliver the ordinary letters first, and then walked to the door of the first house.

A young lady opened the door, and her face was filled with anticipation when she saw Suika's messenger bag.

But when Suixiang took out the letter, her face suddenly turned extremely pale.
