Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

“Of course, I’ve made an agreement with Xingxiong that after leaving Longmen, I’ll go to Ursus and then go west to see what the west side of Terra looks like!

Recently, I have been getting up early and staying up late every day to learn the common language.

Didn’t I tell you?”

Seeing everyone's mouths hanging open in disbelief, Suixiang realized that she seemed to have never mentioned her future plans before.

"West, where are you going?" After hearing Suika's plan, Angel became alert.

“I haven’t decided on a destination yet, but I’m heading west anyway.

I want to visit places like Victoria, Letania, and Colombia."

Hearing her words, several people showed admiration.

“Although there haven’t been any chaotic wars on Terra in recent years except for Kazdel, traveling in the wilderness is not a decision that an ordinary person can make.

I admire you."

"Haha, it's not that great. I just happened to come across this opportunity. I feel like I'm missing out if I don't go out and see it for myself."

The few of them chatted and drank, and soon everyone except Suika was a little tipsy.

After saying goodbye to the people from Penguin Logistics, Cuixiang walked and stopped until she arrived at the door of Lao Li's office.

“Well, aren’t you the little girl from half a year ago?

Why is it parked in front of my house again?"

Just as I stood there and looked at the sign of Li's Detective Agency, a familiar and slightly frivolous voice came from behind me.

Suixiang turned around and saw Lao Li standing in the place where he had chatted with her before, making her feel like she was back in the past.

"Do you know him?" A young girl curiously poked her head out from behind Lao Li and looked at Suixiang.

"Remember half a year ago, I was talking to her downstairs, and then you called me upstairs.

It's fate, I didn't expect to meet you again in this place."

Lao Li pointed at Suixiang, then pointed at the windowsill and said.

The girl beside her scratched her head, then puffed up her cheeks and shook her head.

“I don’t remember…”

"Haha, forget it if you don't remember.

"Little girl, since we are so destined to meet, would you like to go upstairs and sit down?" Old Li asked in a friendly manner, pointing to the corridor.

Suika shook her head

"Next time, if there's another chance to meet..."

She didn't expect to meet Lao Li twice in the same place and in the same way, but she was about to leave Longmen, and having contact with them would only make her miss them more.

After walking back into the house, Suixiang picked up the book and the tape recorder next to her and continued studying following the sound in the tape recorder.

At night, Xingxiong looked at Suixiang and asked

"How are you preparing?"

"Almost. Sister Shi Huaiya said my spoken English is already at the average level, so normal communication shouldn't be a problem. Then I packed my things.

According to the weather forecast, the next few days will be sunny. I plan to set off in three days. While the weather is good, I will try to cross Ursus and reach the other side of Terra before winter arrives."

Suika tells Hoshiguma about her backup plan.

Yes, this was just her backup plan.

As for how to proceed after leaving Longmen, she had actually made preparations.

"Okay, I'll take you there then..."

After Xingxiong finished speaking, he quietly started to clean up the house.

The next day, Suixiang walked out of the door and went to the post office to collect her last salary.

A motorcycle stopped in front of her on the road, and Chen and Shi Huaiya got off the motorcycle.

"Are you looking for Xingxiong? She should be in the Guards Bureau!"

"No, we're here to see you," Chen said, staring at Suixiang.

"You bypassed Xingxiong and came to find me?" Suixiang was a little confused.

"Let's go to the cafe over there?" Shi Huaiya said, pointing to a newly opened cafe not far away.

"Okay!" Suika didn't sense any fierce aura from the two of them, and she was very curious about their purpose in coming to find her at this time of the year.

"Aren't you going west? We both happen to have acquaintances in the west, so I hope you can help take a letter over.

Of course, we will give you enough compensation, so that you can achieve the purpose of traveling and earn some extra money at the same time. What do you think?"

After sitting down, Shi Huaiya couldn't wait to say.

"Well, there's a window for sending letters over at the post office..." Suixiang reminded.

Although sending a letter outside of Da Yan is more expensive than sending a letter within Da Yan, it is actually no more than ten times more expensive.

It's not very expensive. The two of them can send the letter through formal channels instead of looking for the former courier who has already left.

"Isn't it because of the civil war in Kazdel that the passage to Victoria was cut off?

Longmen hasn't had any contact with that place for over half a year.

You also know that given the current situation, it is difficult to get through Ursus, and Kazdel is too dangerous, so messengers are not willing to take the risk of delivering from this side.

If you hadn't happened to be going there, we wouldn't have come looking for you!"

Shi Huaiya explained the reason.

Chapter 51: Rich Woman's Little Axe

Suika thought about it and it seemed that this was the case. She had heard someone mention it at the post office before. Lungmen's connection with the west was once interrupted because of the outbreak of the Sarkaz civil war.

Now that I think about it, there is indeed a reason why the two of them came to find me.

But there is no need to avoid Xing Xiong.

If she knew about this, I think she would make me agree to it.

After all, in their opinion, Victoria is much safer than Ursus.

Thinking of this, Suika decided to try again.

"But I'm going on foot this time, so I might walk very slowly. By the time the letter arrives, it might be too late."

"No, no, this letter is for a friend in Victoria, and I think Chen is too. It's just a normal chat, nothing nutritious. Just deliver it.

We don’t force anything else.”

Shi Huaiya said hurriedly.

After listening to Shi Huaiya, Cuixiang looked at her suspiciously.

If it is an urgent letter, it is obviously inappropriate to let someone who is prepared to walk slowly to deliver it.

If the letter is not urgent, it can wait. After all, the intensity of Kazdel's civil war will not remain high even if it continues.

There will always be a time when things relax, and it's okay to wait until then to send the letter.

But it was very strange that the two of them insisted on asking me to do this.

"I told you, Suika is a very smart person, so don't use your excuses that even a fool can't fool to her."

Chen Kai interrupted Shi Huaiya's explanation and looked at Cuixiang

"Well, we know you're leaving, and we want to help you.

It just so happens that she has some acquaintances in Victoria, and I also have a few friends there, so I'd like to offer you some sponsorship by using the excuse of delivering a letter.

Of course, this is also because I happen to have some acquaintances there.

Of course, it’s not a good idea to tell Xingxiong about this. Otherwise, given her personality, she’ll probably have to find a way to return the money to us later.

This barbecued pork cat itself is not prepared, and this inexplicable excuse can't even fool you..."

Chen directly stated their plans.

Hearing Chen's words, Suixiang felt relieved.

She thought these two were up to some special game, but she didn't expect that they just wanted to help her.

"Chen Huijie, you're a bitch, you're a loser.

If you have the ability, you should have said it earlier. Why do you let me make up excuses? "

Shi Huaiya's cheeks flushed and she waved her handbag in frustration, trying to cause trouble for Chen.

"Shouldn't you blame yourself for this? With your level of storytelling, didn't you see that Suika was already suspecting that we were planning to do something bad..."

Chen dodged left and right and easily avoided Shi Huaiya's handbag attack.

"So that's how it is. Then I can indeed help!" Suika nodded as she watched the two people fighting.

"The hard work fee for delivering the letter..." Shi Huaiya leaned over, her ears trembling slightly, looking very playful and cute.

"You can give as much as you like. It's just like delivering letters at the post office. Don't you get tips occasionally? It's not something to be ashamed of." Suixiang looked calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with accepting financial assistance from others.

"That's right, how could I forget that tips are something that can be given freely!" Shi Huaiya slapped his forehead and stomped his feet in anger.

"Then I'll give you these two letters. This bank card can be used to withdraw money from banks in Victoria and Columbia.

I remember that I saved some Colombian gold notes in it when I was a child. These were my pocket money when I was a child. After I came to Longmen, the banks here were not connected with those there, so the money in this card could not be used at all.

If you are over there, please help me spend it!"

Shi Huaiya said very generously.

"Can I ask how much money is in there?" Suixiang thought of Xiao Lao Hu's wealthy nature and wondered if the money in there was enough to buy her.

"I don't remember. When I was a kid, my grandfather and father would top up the money in it every once in a while, and I've never used it up." Shi Huaiya's nonchalant words made Chen frown when he heard them.

She knew that Shi Huaiya was a wealthy woman, but she didn't expect that she had such a poor idea about money.

Of course, it is also possible that he was impressed by Shi Huaiya's extravagance.

"Then I'll be grateful for your help. Of course, I won't spend money recklessly, so don't worry." Suixiang took the bank card and put it and the letter into her small bag.

"Okay, remember not to tell Xingxiong about this. He's usually sullen and stubborn.

I don’t want her to nag me about this every day.”

Seeing that Cuixiang accepted the letter and bank card, Chen and Shi Huaiya both breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that they had been out for so long, the two of them hurriedly said goodbye and drove back to the Guard Bureau.

"I see that you seem to care about Cuixiang a lot!" Chen said to Shi Huaiya on the way back.

"After all, she gave me a great gift, so it's impossible for me not to accept it.

She's also quite interesting and not a bad person.

If I could stay in Longmen, I would really like to be friends with her."

Shi Huaiya turned around and looked at Suixiang who walked out of the coffee shop and spoke.

"Now that you mention it, it reminds me of something... Although Suika looks young, it seems like we're basically on equal terms when we communicate with her."

Chen also recalled several meetings with Suixiang.

"Come to think of it, you have investigated that incident before. Is it related to Cuixiang?" Shi Huaiya said with hints.

"There's no surveillance, only the testimony of a few people who were so frightened they couldn't tell east from west. Xingxiong can't say, and I'm not sure what exactly happened at the time.

However, according to experts, the hole was created by a huge force from the outside inwards.

According to experts, even with the best Originium bomb, it would take at least ten kilograms and require burial and targeted blasting to achieve this level.

According to the instrument tests, the Originium index in and around the pit is completely normal. So after throwing out the Originium bomb, I can't imagine how they could achieve that level in such a short time."

Chen recalled that because he was curious about the cause of the formation of the pothole, he made a lot of visits and investigations.

But in the end, we got almost nothing, and later we were stopped by the higher authorities, so we had to give up on this matter with regret.

“Remember what I told you, I saw with my own eyes that Suika smashed a big tree with one punch.

It's not about breaking through, it's about blowing it up.
