Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"Did you find anything?" asked Outcast.

"Huh?" Suika blinked innocently.

Outcast pointed at her clothes

“It’s obvious from the marks on your clothes that you didn’t come into town today like me, so you must have been here a long time ago.

Someone from Rhodes Island said that you are very purposeful in doing things. Since you appear here, then things here must be very complicated.

But you look very confident, which means you know a lot about what’s going on here…”

Seeing this, Suixiang shrugged and showed a malicious expression.

"Tonight, early in the morning, let's do something. If you're willing to get in the car, I'll share the information with you."

"Take action? As far as I know, due to the riots, the banks here started transferring assets out a week ago. Isn't it too late to rob the bank now?

Besides, with just the two of us, let alone whether we can do it or not, the military and police in Xiaoqiu County will obviously be very vigilant these next two days. It will be difficult to evacuate safely under such a siege."

Outcast heard her speaking in jargon, and since there happened to be a Victoria National Bank not far away, he subconsciously thought she was planning to rob a bank.

"Tsk, why are you robbing me for money? I don't need that much... If we're going to have fun, let's have something exciting... Just remember to prepare your bullets."

Although Suika's words were vague, Outcast instinctively felt that she was not a villain, so he adjusted the brim of his hat and stopped talking, but followed her down the street.

"By the way, where are you staying tonight?"

Suika asked as they walked.

"I just got here and haven't decided where to live yet."

"That's perfect. The hotel I'm staying at is pretty good. Want to go over and take a look?"

"Okay!"

Soon the two arrived at the hotel where Suixiang was staying.

"Why does that hotel over there look so strange?" Outcast looked at the other hotel in the distance and said puzzledly before entering.

Suika looked up and saw that this was the hotel she had seen yesterday. She told Outcast about the notice posted at the door of the hotel.

outcast looked at her

"Don't you think there's something wrong with that hotel?"

Chapter 565: Night Attack

"Any fool would know that there's something wrong with that hotel."

Suika nodded and pointed to the hotel

"It's too conspicuous for us to talk here at the gate. Let's go in!"

After arriving at the room, Outcast put down his luggage, sat on the sofa and looked at Suika. Suika sat aside and took a sip of Ibuki's rice before speaking.

“This is Tara’s base camp, and the hotel has to make money here.

The Tara people's territory certainly earned the Tara people's money, but it refused the Tara people entry, which made the Tara people naturally hostile to this hotel.

Merchants from outside who wanted to do business in Tara would not stay in that hotel.

Because this is a very obvious signal of hostility.

If the locals knew that the businessman lived here, they would definitely refuse to do business with him.

This is very unfavorable for businessmen seeking to make money.

Ordinary tourists would not choose to live there.

Because if you come here to play, you can't avoid interacting with local people.

Living in that kind of place is equivalent to putting yourself in an environment that is hostile to the locals, which is no different from seeking death.

If locals don’t welcome them and businessmen and tourists don’t dare to go there, how can such a large hotel support itself?

I observed the store when I passed by, and it wasn't a new store that had just opened.

So how can a store that makes no money and is hated by the locals still be able to stay open for a long time?

If you say there is no problem, even a fool wouldn’t believe it.”

Suika finished speaking and Outcast nodded.

"Is the target you mentioned in there?"

Suika shook her head "No, it's on the other side of the square. We have to stage a perfect stealth move tonight."

"Isn't it too dangerous? The military and police here will definitely be keeping a close eye on the city these next two days." Outcast was a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's precisely because the other party is closely monitoring us that they give us the opportunity." In response to concerns about outcast, Suika said that the military is closely monitoring, so their targets cannot run around at night, so there will be no embarrassing situation of running over at night and finding no one.

"What about that hotel?" Outcast still felt that there were serious problems with the hotel.

After thinking for a moment, Suixiang said, "How about this, after I've settled my issues here, let's go over there and check out the situation together."

After hearing what Suika said, Outcast nodded in satisfaction.

Checking the time, Suika pulled out a deck of cards. "It's still early, how about a couple of hands?"

"Okay!" Outcast's eyes lit up and he sat opposite Suika.

Late at night, Suika looked at the time through the gap in the paper on her face.

"Almost done, let's go..."

Outcast pointed at the notes covering his and Suika's faces and asked, "Are you sure we want to go out like this?"

"That's not good. If we are really discovered, we can still disguise ourselves as scavengers." Suixiang didn't care.

Outcast looked at the iconic big horns on Suika's head, and then looked at the halo on his own head. With these two things, could others really think that they were scavengers?

"Okay, let's stop playing and go!" Suixiang tore off the note and pointed at the window.

"Why don't you go through the main door?" Outcast pointed at the door.

Suika rolled her eyes

"We're going to do something bad. If we go through the main gate, won't others know immediately?"

Outcast pretended to be enlightened.

"So that's how it is, Suika-chan, you're really smart."

"Why do I feel like you are mocking me?"

"Surely not?"

"Really?"

"It must really be..."

The two opened the window while chatting.

Outcast looked around. Although it was late at night, he could still see the military and police on duty not far downstairs.

"You can't go down here. There are people on duty on the street."

"Look at me..." Suika turned around and disappeared in front of Outcast, and Outcast instantly found a thick fog rising around him.

Just when she was about to say that the sudden thick fog in the city would arouse alarm, an iron chain appeared in her hand.

"Go to the window, tighten the chain, and I'll fly you over."

Outcast quickly jumped out of the window and grabbed the chain tightly.

Then she felt the chain collapsing straighter and straighter, and soon her feet were empty and she was flying up.

"Wow, this is such an interesting experience." Outcast looked at the street below.

The weather has been very bad these past few days. At night, you can’t even see the moon, let alone the stars.

Therefore, Suika only needed a thin layer of mist to cover up her general body shape. In this way, unless someone was observing deliberately, it would be difficult to notice the two people flying in the air.

Soon, Suika arrived at the destination with Outcast.

The two successfully landed in an alley.

"Where is the target?" Outcast leaned against the wall, looked around, then turned to ask Suixiang.

"It's the building on the left across the street after you exit the alley."

Suika pointed in the direction.

"It's not easy. Look, there's a team of police officers on duty over there. It's late at night and there's no one around. We'll definitely be discovered if we go over there." Outcast pointed to a checkpoint in the distance.

It's not too close to the target. If it's daytime, the checkpoint won't find any problems from here to the building where the target is.

But it was night, and no one was on the road.

In this case, the two of them going to the building across the street is no different from taking off their clothes and running naked.

"Don't worry, I can keep them from noticing this side. Follow me!"

Suixiang tilted her head to look at the checkpoint and counted down.

Just when she finished counting the numbers, the people in the checkpoint suddenly went out for patrol together.

And the direction they were patrolling happened to be facing away from the two people.

"Let's go!" Suixiang raised her eyebrows proudly and pulled Outcast towards the building where the target was.

After successfully reaching the corner of the building, outcast grabbed Suika

"Now that we're here, you have to tell me who our opponent is."

Suika nodded

"You know that there is a mysterious organization behind the incident in Xiaoqiu County.

As far as I know, the people in that organization are a mixed bunch, and some of them are really evil.

And this time, our target is those evil people."

After Suika finished speaking, outcast showed a look of understanding.

She naturally knew who those people Suika was talking about.

But she didn't expect that Suixiang would find the other party's lair in advance. The reason why she went to that special hotel to investigate was because she suspected that the other party was hiding there.

"So it's them... That's great."

Outcast adjusted the brim of his hat, raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mood became cheerful.

Chapter 566: Angels and Ghosts Are Not Noble

The two men climbed over the wall and quietly entered the house through an open window.

"How do we find it?" Outcast indicated that the house was not small and it would be easy to be discovered if they searched room by room.

Suika pointed to the hall

"Let them come out on their own!"

Suika pointed at her Ibuki Hyō, and Outcast widened his eyes in surprise after understanding what she meant.

"Can we play like this?"

Suika chuckled

"The version has been updated."

The two then came to a corner of the hall. At Suika's signal, Outcast turned on the lights in the hall. Then Suika picked up Ibuki's rice and a large beer mug from a table not far away.

"Everyone in the room, whether asleep or not, come and have a drink!"

Then, accompanied by the sound of various things falling to the ground, Outcast saw the people in the house staggering out like zombies in a movie.

Suika signaled her, and she understood and started looking for the target one by one. Soon, three people came to Suika's side.

"These three are the poison scholar, the arsonist, and the prisoner. I remember the bounty on them."

Suixiang nodded and continued to pour glass of liquor for the person in front of her without stopping.

After everyone was drunk, she looked at the three targets.

At this time, they had all been hung up by Outcast with ropes and were suspended in mid-air.

However, because of the powerful control of Suika's ability, they instinctively wanted to get close to Suika to ask for wine.
