Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Seeing the other person getting anxious because of her own affairs, Suixiang felt a little touched.

Seeing that the girl sitting next to her was staring at the TV but her legs were shaking, she could feel that she was very uneasy. So Suika turned her attention away from the book.

"Come and have a drink!"

"You want to get me drunk again..." Xingxiong complained while picking up the wine glass beside him uncontrollably, and then looked at Suixiang helplessly.

"I can feel that you've been under a lot of pressure these days. Get some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow if there's anything."

Suika said as she filled her glass with wine with a smile.

"Oh, you, you..." After a few words, after drinking two glasses of wine, Xingxiong fell drunk in front of Suixiang.

The next morning, looking at Hoshiguma sitting at the dining table, Suika looked at him and said

“Not bad, not bad, very energetic.

You look much better than you did yesterday."

Xingxiong, who is usually a nice guy outside, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard what Suixiang said.

"Have you really decided?"

"If Kazdel can't get through, I'll go to Ursus.

I know about the history and situation of Ursus. The oppression against the infected there is indeed very strong, but I am not an infected.

Besides, there is no way they would know that the previous incident with Wang Ke was related to me.

I'm heading west from Ursus, so I think it shouldn't be a problem."

Ursus was also originally included in Suika's plan.

Unlike Theresa's death which was inevitable, the death of a certain woman in Ursus was purely pitiful and regrettable in Suika's eyes.

The old man Black Snake clearly had countless ways to turn Tallulah evil, but he chose the most vicious one.

Kill Alina, remove Tallulah's spiritual support, and then destroy the beliefs she has always fought for in the village.

Forcing Tallulah to admit from the bottom of her heart that her ideas were too naive and had no future, thus becoming Black Snake's toy.

Of course, Suika still had some doubts about Alina.

Because in her memory, if Theresa is the white moonlight, then Alina is the Virgin Mary.

Although she warmed Tallulah's heart and allowed her to receive spiritual nourishment from Alina, it is really hard to say whether she is a saint or not sometimes.

The key is that Alina is not a fake saint, but truly loves and cares about everyone around her equally.

Even if she died at the hands of a traitor, she was still trying to use her last bit of life and strength to guide Tallulah in the direction of progress.

In Suika's opinion, she is great, but to be honest, she doesn't want her friends to become that kind of person.

Chapter 49: Sewing Tightly Before Departure

Because she didn't want her friend to get into trouble and not be able to take revenge.

Even if it's for the so-called ideal...

After all, ideals are things that living people have. When you die, everything is gone, so what's the point of talking about whether it is ideal or not?

On the other side, Xingxiong fell into deep thought after hearing what Suika said.

She had never considered Ursus before because Dayan and Ursus did not have a good relationship.

To be precise, the friction between the two sides at the border has never stopped.

For the border defense of Dayan, apart from the north, the number of soldiers who died in local conflicts with other countries was the highest on the border with Ursus.

Because Ursus takes pride in military achievements, and the border of Dayan is too far away from the imperial city of Ursus, the emperor there has no control over the old nobles here.

In order to gain military merit, bloody conflicts often occurred between the two sides on the border.

Just like the army that was killed by Ursus before, Dayan also took the same revenge on Ursus later.

Therefore, because of his instinctive aversion to Ursus, Xingxiong never considered the idea of taking the Ursus route.

But after Suika brought it up, she thought about it and it seemed that this route did make sense.

Just like Suika said, although Ursus discriminates against the infected, it treats ordinary people equally.

As long as Suixiang enters Ursus through normal channels, then takes the main road to the west and enters Victoria, it would be easier than going through Kazdel and then across Leithania to get there.

As for how to enter Ursus through normal channels, that is even simpler. After all, she is the one who is about to be expelled by Dayan.

I think Ursus will not refuse entry to a person expelled by Dayan, just like the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"So, your original plan was to go west from Ursus." Xingxiong seemed a little surprised.

Suika shook her head

"Of course not. Do you remember why I said I was heading west after leaving Dayan?"

Xingxiong recalls the conversation between him and Suika

"What you said was… 'Terra is so big, I want to go see it.'"

"Bingo! I didn't set a goal for myself, but I wanted to travel to every place in Terra and experience different cultures and customs.

So I actually want to visit both Kazdel and Ursus.

However, since Kazdel is still in the midst of a civil war, the prerequisites for visiting cannot be met, so I will go to Ursus first."

Suika said this excitedly while standing on the stool.

She had long wanted to go on a spontaneous trip, but she had never had enough perseverance to make it happen because she liked to live a day-to-day life.

But this time leaving Longmen gave her an opportunity, an excuse.

Stop being lazy, step out of your comfort zone, measure the land of Terra with your own steps, observe the scenery of Terra with your own eyes, and listen to the voice of Terra with your own ears.

Seeing the light in Suika's eyes, Xingxiong rubbed his hair

"I don't understand what you're thinking, but no matter where you go, you must promise to write to me.

Even if I can't accompany you on your journey across Terra, I hope to learn through your letters what this land looks like."

"Of course, I would have sent you a letter even if you hadn't told me.

After all, you are Xingxiong!

Would you like a toast to our friendship?"

Suika said as she lifted up the Ibuki trifle and shook it.

"No, I have to go to work soon.

It’s not good to let people know that I smell of alcohol.”

Hoshiguma reached out and pushed down the Ibuki Piao that Suika was holding up.

After Xingxiong left, Suixiang looked at the time on the calendar and stretched.

"Oh my, there's only so much time left?

Go say goodbye to everyone you know!

I also have to return my job as a street messenger and get my salary settled in advance, otherwise I’ll have worked for nothing for the past two weeks.”

After making a plan in her mind, Suixiang walked out of the room.

"Good morning, Uncle Dong and Brother Jie!"

Arriving at Uncle Dong's seafood store, Cuixiang waved to the two people working inside.

"Good morning, little Cuixiang!" Uncle Dong waved to Cuixiang friendly.

He quite liked this polite little girl. At least she was much better than Jie, the brat who always made him angry.

"Are you planning to quit?" The sharp-eyed Uncle Dong saw the resignation letter in Cuixiang's hand.

"Yes, I'm leaving Longmen. I don't know when I'll be back. I can't still be a messenger here before I leave."

After hearing what Suika said, the people around her were surprised and asked her why.

"Xiao Suixiang, isn't Longmen good enough? Why do you want to leave?

The grandmas and grandpas here all like you very much. Longmen is developing rapidly, and you will have good future prospects if you stay here."

Because Suixiang had never mentioned this matter before, everyone was concerned when she suddenly said she wanted to leave.

"I decided to leave on my own! Longmen is indeed a great place, and the uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas on the street are all very kind to me, but after all, they are not my roots..."

Since Wei Yanwu did not make her expulsion public, Cuixiang naturally would not tell others that she did not want to leave, but was given a deadline to leave by Dayan or Longmen.

Hearing Suika's words, everyone looked regretful.

“What a pity, after you leave, I don’t know who will take over the messenger job here.

And I'm afraid I'll never find another messenger as dedicated and hardworking as you, Xiao Suixiang."

"Haha, Auntie, if you praise me like this again, I will blush!" Suixiang responded with a smile.

I greeted everyone along the way and arrived at the post office.

"Suixiang, here is another letter from Penguin Logistics..." Before Suixiang could speak, the manager took out an expedited letter and said.

"Um, but I'm applying for resignation." Suixiang handed her resignation letter to the other party.

The manager was not surprised, as if he had known about this for a long time.

"That's fine. I'll include the reward for this letter in your salary. How about you just work your last shift and deliver this letter to Penguin Logistics?

As for your salary, I will ask the finance department to get it ready for you tomorrow morning. How about you come to collect your salary at noon?"

"No problem, thank you, manager." Suixiang took the letter from Penguin Logistics, bowed to the manager, and walked out with the letter.

After watching Suixiang leave, the manager shook his head.

"Leaving Longmen is easy, but leaving Dayan...it depends on whether you have the ability, little one."

Suika was unaware of the manager's sigh behind her. She took the letter and walked straight towards Penguin Logistics.

When I arrived at the bar, I saw everyone from Penguin Logistics was there.

"Wow, they're all here today!"

Suixiang said after clapping hands with Exiah.

"Of course, there is work every day, but it's not always fully booked!" Angel replied with a smile.

Chapter 50: A Letter from Home is Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold

"Are you here specifically to deliver a letter?"

Looking at the letter in Suixiang's hand, the angel brings her to the emperor.

"Yes, this should be the last time we send a letter here." Suixiang nodded.

"Is the time up?" Everyone from Penguin Logistics learned from the Emperor that Suixiang was going to leave Longmen, but they still felt a little reluctant after hearing her say it.

After all, in the eyes of the Angels, Suika is a good person who looks small but has a very clear mind and occasionally brings them some apple pie.

Suixiang nodded, then took out Ibuki's teapot and poured a small cup for each of them.

“There’s a saying in Dayan: All good things must come to an end.

I am quite satisfied to be able to stay in Longmen for such a long time.

Besides, this departure doesn’t necessarily mean a farewell forever, maybe we’ll have another chance to meet again in the future!”

Suixiang raised her glass, very calm.

Because in her opinion, Longmen is the most special existence in Dayan and also the bridgehead to Dayan. It is impossible for the Ursus military not to have intentions here.

Even if there is no integration movement, there may be some kind of organization like a decentralization movement. Anyway, as long as the old guys in Ursus are not all dead, then before the young emperor takes back power, in order to maintain his status and army, it is only a matter of time before he attacks Longmen.

So she definitely has a chance to return to Longmen again.

This is the confidence given to her by the plot prophet.

"Okay, but which route are you going to take back to the East? I remember we have a shipment to deliver to Dahuang City, which is quite close to the East. Would you like us to give you a ride?"

Exia asked while hugging Suika's neck.

"Back to the East? Why would I go back there?" Suixiang looked puzzled.

"You're not going back to the East?" Even the emperor showed a surprised expression when he heard her words.
