Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Before, she always thought that this world was a game from her previous life, and she might be a "linked character" like Luo Xiaohei or the Rainbow Six Team who were not allowed to enter this place.

But now she felt that this land was so real. At least she hadn't met an old woman like Wang Po in her memory for a long time.

With the coat, she no longer had to hide when walking on the road like before, but could walk openly in the middle of the road.

Although the exaggerated clothes she wore looked strange enough to outsiders, considering that Suika didn't look very old, everyone just thought she was a naughty child who had secretly worn adult clothes.

Just as Suika was walking on the street, Hoshiguma came to the Guards Bureau.

After entering the door, she greeted Chen

"How's it going here? Have those traffickers confessed?"

"We've almost recruited enough. The situation with your kid is a little special...

Does she know where her home is?"

Chen picked up the file and handed it to Xingxiong.

"What do you mean?" Xingxiong asked as he opened the file and looked through the results of the surprise interrogation by the Guards last night.

"Based on the combined results of interrogating everyone, the families of the other children have been largely traced. Only the child you took away...

She was picked up on the road when the human traffickers were about to reach Longmen. She was sleeping on the roadside at the time. The traffickers thought that they were selling children anyway, so they threw her into the car for a little more money.

The child didn't wake up until we rushed in and rescued him.

So even the traffickers don’t know the child’s name or where he lives…”

Chen looked at Xingxiong who was concentrating on reading the files.

"I feel like there's something wrong with that kid...why don't we take him back to the Guards? There are a lot of people here, so even if something goes wrong, they can help take care of him."

Xingxiong rubbed his brows after reading it.

Chen was not wrong. All the interrogation records contained the same information about the child named Ibuki Suika in his family.

You have to know that they were conducting a surprise operation yesterday, and the other party had no chance to confess. Besides, all the other children had confessed, so there was no need for all the others to lie for this child alone.

"Well, then I'll go back and bring her here first!" Xingxiong handed the file back to Chen and turned around to go back.

Chapter 5: Punishment of the guilty

"Let me go with you!" Chen felt that there were too many strange things in this matter. She was a little worried that something might go wrong if Xingxiong went back alone. After thinking about it, she took a sword and got on Xingxiong's police tricycle.

With a roar, the vehicle drove out of the gate of the Guard Bureau.

At this time, Shi Huaiya came out from the other side yawning, looking at Xingxiong and Chen walking away. She thought that these two people had slipped away without taking her with them, and she couldn't help but jump in anger.

Cuixiang didn't walk far, because if she went further, she would enter the business district of Longmen. However, many places here are still under construction, so there are unfinished buildings everywhere, which looks more desolate than the residential area.

After deciding to go back, she thought it would be better to return the clothes first. After all, the old man didn't look rich, and this thick and warm coat might be one of the few spare clothes the old man had in winter.

She is not the kind of inhumane bastard who borrows things and doesn't return them.

Just when she was not far from the old man's shop, she saw a circle of people gathered there.

Instinctively, she felt a sense of unease.

I ran over anxiously and found the old man lying on the ground with a bloody head and unconscious. Next to him was a box that was turned upside down. From the scraps of paper and pens on the ground, it was not difficult to guess that this was the box where the old man kept his money.

Seeing this, Suika's eyes suddenly turned red.

At this moment, she hated herself for leaving. If she had known something would happen here, she should not have left.

“Alas, Wang Po is also unlucky, I didn’t expect those little bastards to be so cruel.

How much money can a morning tea vendor have in her pocket? Not only did she rob someone, she even injured him…"

Suika walked over and grabbed the clothes of the person who was talking

"Who hurt Wang Po?"

Someone grabbed his clothes, and the man wanted to scold him, but when he looked down and saw Suika, he was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"Aren't you the little girl from before?

You're really lucky, not long after you left, the bastard who was having breakfast next to you robbed you of your money..."

Suixiang didn't listen to what the man said, but looked towards the alley not far away.

The scattered voices of the people around undoubtedly pointed to that alley as the direction in which those people fled.

A determination flashed in her eyes. It was true that when he lived on Earth before, he was just an ordinary person with no power.

But whether she was an ordinary person or now, she has a brave heart. Wang Po is a good person and she should not suffer such hardship.

She didn't have the ability to save people, and someone who knew how to treat trauma had already rushed over to treat Wang Po. What she had to do now was to find those who had hurt Wang Po and make them pay a sufficient price.

Thinking of this, she rushed into the alley without hesitation.

"Hey, don't go, it's dangerous over there!" Seeing the little girl rushing into the alley, the people around tried to hold her back, but they all grabbed empty air.

When they ran to the alley entrance, they saw the coat that Wang Po had given to Cuixiang lying on the ground, but the girl had disappeared from everyone's sight.

As soon as Suika entered the alley, she used her ability to transform herself into mist.

Because she knew that it would be difficult for her to catch up with those gangsters who had already escaped under normal circumstances. Only by using her own abilities could she achieve her goal as quickly as possible.

As for the appearance of those people, she still vaguely remembered them.

She was absolutely certain that she would recognize it if she saw it.

Although this alley is interconnected, it is not without traces.

For example, the fresh footprints caused by the water on the road told Suika the direction the gangsters were heading.

Soon she found the three people dividing the loot in a remote alley.

At this time, the three gangsters were cursing each other because of the uneven distribution of profits.

One of them clearly said that he would only rob the money, but the other one actually beat up the old lady who ran the morning tea shop.

If they were caught by the Guards, they would be in big trouble.

Unfortunately, the money robbed from the morning tea shop was very small, and even if the three of them divided it equally, it was not enough to fill their stomachs. Overall, this deal was a big loss.

The person who did it was also not convinced

"That old woman was holding the box so tightly. If I hadn't knocked her down with a stick, how would we have had the chance to grab the money?

So I'll take the lion's share of the money, half, and you'll each get half of the rest."

As they were cursing at each other, they suddenly realized that the sky had become dark and the surrounding environment was not clear.

"Where the hell is this foggy in November?"

The one who took action was obviously a hot-tempered person. Seeing that the other two people did not agree with his distribution plan and seemed to want to kick him out, he cursed angrily and took out a butterfly knife from his pocket.

But just as he was about to take action, he found that his surroundings were as stiff as if they were stuck in rock.

Although he could still breathe and see, his body could not move at all.

The same was true for the other two people. When they saw the man take out the butterfly knife, they instinctively wanted to dodge, but although their brains issued commands, their bodies could not react at all, as if they were put into a bucket filled with cement.

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling..." Just as the three were feeling panicked by the current situation, the sound of an iron chain dragging on the ground came into their ears through the fog.

"All evil must be eradicated, all sin must be punished...

It's ridiculous that outsiders call me an evil ghost, but you are far more vicious than me.

In my opinion, you are all unworthy of being human...

Damn you, go to hell and repent for your sins!"

As the clear childish voice fell, the three of them felt a huge force coming from their hands and feet.

"Ah!" Along with the screams of the three people, their hands and feet were crushed into mud by the surrounding air.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside, "Old Chen, over here, I heard screams over here!"

Xingxiong, why is she here?

Suixiang frowned. She didn't expect to run into Xingxiong here. She had no intention of meeting him, so she turned into mist again and disappeared into the alley when the two arrived here.

After leaving the alley, Suixiang felt a little irritated. Although the outside looked beautiful and harmonious, this was still Terra, the Terra who was not picky about food.

Thinking of Wang Po's injuries, she flew outside worriedly. At this moment, she only hoped that good people would be rewarded and that Wang Po was not injured too seriously.

When I got outside, I found that the morning tea stall was empty. I could only see from some scattered debris on the ground that there used to be a stall here.

Suixiang walked to a snack stall across the street.

"Uncle, how is Granny Wang, who used to sell morning tea here?"

Chapter 6: Evil Will Be Repaid with Evil

"Well! Little girl, are you okay?" The uncle was stunned for a moment when he saw Suika, and then looked at her thin coat.

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm not cold...

Where did Granny Wang go who was just injured? ” Cuixiang is now very worried about Granny Wang’s condition.

"You're talking about Wang Po. I didn't expect that after so many years of doing good to others, she would still suffer such a punishment at such an old age. It's true that good people don't live long, but evil will last for thousands of years.

By the way, she was taken to a nearby clinic by a passing doctor, the one on the corner."

The uncle leaned out half of his body and pointed to the street corner not far away.

After hearing this, Suixiang said thank you and trotted over.

After arriving at the door of the clinic, she pushed it open and walked in. After entering, she saw Wang Po lying on the bed with her eyes half closed not far away.

I walked to Wang Po's side and saw the coat on the stool beside her before looking at Wang Po who had woken up.

"Grandma Wang, how do you feel?"

"Well, kid, why did you take off your clothes?

It’s cold outside, you should put it on!”

Wang Po did not answer Suixiang's question, but pointed to the clothes not far away and said worriedly.

"Grandma Wang, I'm fine, I'm not cold..."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..." After Wang Po said this, she seemed to have run out of strength, and she shrank back into the bed and closed her eyes again.

"Wang Po needs to rest now, you'd better not disturb her." A man who looked like an old man walked over and looked at Cuixiang and said.

Suixiang nodded, then walked aside and asked softly

"Doctor, is Granny Wang's head injury serious?"

The old man shook his head and said, "The injury is not serious. After all, those bastards were only focused on stealing money. If it weren't for this old lady Wang who insisted on stopping them, they wouldn't have suffered even this little bit of punishment.

However, although the force was not great, Old Lady Wang is old after all, so we need to observe for a while to see the specific situation."

After saying that, the old man walked back to his seat with his hands behind his back.

Suixiang sighed, stuffed the money she had taken back from the gangsters into Wang Po's clothes, and then walked out.

After watching Cuixiang leave, the old man looked at Wang Po and shook his head.

"I really don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky. If this girl was there, I'm afraid you wouldn't have to suffer this.

However, the hint of blood on her body...I think those little bastards are not much better."

Even though the doctor didn't see Suika take action with his own eyes, he still accurately sensed the bloody smell on her body.

He was the one who saw Suixiang running into the alley with his own eyes, and he was also the one who picked up the clothes on the ground. So after seeing Suixiang come back and put the money into Wang Po's clothes pocket, he had almost completed the whole thing in his mind.

This also explains why the little girl was walking outside in such thin clothes in such a cold weather. Perhaps this was also part of her "training".

After going out, Suixiang thought of Xingxiong and Chen whom she had just met. Although she didn't know why they appeared there, she instinctively felt that it might be related to her, so she decided to return to Xingxiong's house to see what was going on.

ten minutes ago

Xingxiong and Chen returned to her room, opened the door and looked around but couldn't find Suika.

"Her appearance is very distinctive. If she leaves here, the neighbors around here will definitely see her." Since the other party was not in the house, she decided to look for her outside.

After all, Suika's exaggerated pair of horns are quite eye-catching. She believes that if Suika leaves here, someone will definitely know the direction she is going.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance and asking less than two people, they knew the direction Suika was heading.

When they arrived at the door of Wang Po's shop, they saw a large circle of people gathered there and instinctively felt that something was wrong.

After walking in, I heard people inside talking about the situation in groups of three or four.
