Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

At this moment, the heavy iron chain swept across his body with a sharp sound of breaking wind. The opponent was thrown several meters away like a rag doll. The man lying on the ground had his whole body twisted unnaturally and it seemed that he had no chance of survival.

After this attack, the people following him were so scared that they ran back in a panic, trying to avoid the attack of the iron whip.

"Suixiang, don't!" The moment she was saved by the chains, Alina recognized the owner of the chains.

After all, the iron chain hanging around Suika's waist was too eye-catching, and he had asked her several times why she hung such a heavy thing around her waist.

The other party just said that it was something very important to her and she had to carry it with her.

At this moment, these things that usually don't attract her attention have turned into the most terrifying weapons.

"These guys want to kill you, you can't let them go!" Facing these people, Suixiang's eyes were full of indifference.

In her opinion, these guys have hands and feet, but they are unwilling to support themselves.

Short-sighted and selfish, it is the existence of these people that makes the infected group, which already has a bad reputation, appear even more despicable to the outside world.

Suika had given them a chance. If they hadn't raised their weapons against Alina just now, she might have spared her life and left it to Tallulah to deal with.

But when they swung their weapons, these people were already dead in Suika's eyes.

With the sound of iron chains breaking in the wind, those who were fleeing were knocked to the ground by Suika who caught up with them.

Just as the last person was about to run out of her attack range, the chain suddenly became longer and entangled his legs in the next second.

"Run? None of you guys can run away!" Under the other party's desperate gaze, Suixiang dragged him in front of her and stepped on his neck.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the last person also breathed his last in the ice and snow.

Alina, who was not far away, looked at Suika, who was standing among the corpses like a devil, with her scarlet pupils emitting a heart-pounding look. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, Suika disappeared from the spot and then appeared next to her, staring intently at the back of her.

"Old man, I'll save her life. If you don't believe me, try it!"

Hearing Suika's words, Alina felt a chill on her back. When she turned around, she saw a gray shadow disappear into the forest.

"Suika...you..." Alina opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Let's go. It's not safe here. We have to go back first and talk about the rest later."

Even though she killed all these people, Suika didn't feel happy at all.

Because she understood that this was just a casual move by the mastermind behind the scenes.

For Him, it would be gratifying if this move succeeded, but it would be insignificant if it failed.

But for Alina, it would be fatal.

And when that guy set his eyes on her, even if it was just a peripheral glance, it was more than an ordinary person like Alina could bear.

Unless the mastermind is dealt with or Alina grows up to the point where she will not die from ordinary conspiracies, He has more ways to make Alina die the way He wants.

"Okay!" Faced with the tragic situation around her, Alina knew that she couldn't stay here for long. She nodded, parked the cart and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and accompanied by the oncoming wind and snow, Tallulah arrived here.

After seeing the corpse on the ground, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She recognized these people as the infected people she had ordered to be expelled before.

Unexpectedly, these people did not go far but stayed near the camp.

Seeing Alina not far away looking a little bit at a loss after seeing her, Tallulah held on to the tree trunk beside her and relaxed.

"It's okay!"

Suika looked at her

“I heard that the Shield Guard originally wanted to execute these scum, but you single-handedly saved them.

Look at the people you protected, and they actually raised weapons against Alina.

Do you understand what would have happened if I hadn't been there?

I understand your desire to save the infected in Ursus, and I also understand your thoughts.

But you have to know that people have both good and evil in their hearts, and not everyone is worthy of your salvation.

If you cannot effectively punish evil, then evil will think you are weak and can be bullied. It will only continue to test your bottom line and then absorb your nutrients to strengthen itself.

Tallulah, I admire your ideals, but on the road to your ideals you must remember that not everyone can walk with you all the way to the end.

But you have to protect those who are willing to follow you. This is your responsibility as a leader.

Instead of abusing your boring sympathy to try to save these short-sighted bastards."

Suika's scolding was so sharp that Tallulah was unable to refute it.

What happened before her explained everything to her. If Suika hadn't been here, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

"Suixiang, stop talking, I'm fine."

Alina reached out and placed her hands on Suika's shoulders, trying to calm her anger.

"I will leave after spring, but I am worried about you.

Tallulah was too careless. Danger is always around you. If it happens this time, there will be a second and a third time.

You are my friend and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

Suika looked at Alina, her eyes no longer fierce. Over the past few days, she had accepted Alina's identity as a friend, not just a regret as simply described in the game's text. So she hoped that she could live in peace and not let herself hear the news of her unclear death one day.

Chapter 66: What is the best life-saving item?

After returning to the camp, Tallulah was very silent.

Shuangxing came over and saw the small cart of vegetables.

"Wow, how did you get so many vegetables?"

"It's all thanks to Cuixiang. Her wine sold for a good price, and we ended up trading it for these vegetables. Now everyone can eat well for a while."

Alina said with a smile.

The children who heard the news gathered around the car and laughed happily.

The other infected people cheered and told others after seeing so many vegetables.

Although the amount of vegetables distributed to each family may not be much, the expectations of the infected people were not high. After suffering countless hardships, most people were already satisfied to have vegetables to eat in the cold winter.

"What's wrong with Tallulah?" Unlike others, Frost Star noticed that Tallulah looked distraught even though Alina brought back so many supplies. She was obviously hit hard, so she walked over to ask about Alina's condition.

Alina looked at the cheering crowd around her, then pulled Suika to tell her not to say it here, and pointed to the place where she and Suika lived not far away.

"It's not convenient to talk here, how about we go to my house?"

Frost Star nodded, and then said to the person beside him

"Big Bear, you have to deliver these supplies to the warehouse yourself."

"Okay, big sister!" The person next to her pushed the cart swiftly and walked towards the warehouse under the watchful eyes of the children.

Froststar, led by Alina, walked into the house with Suika.

In the house, Alina told what had just happened outside the village.

After hearing this, Frost Star also understood why Tallulah had that expression.

The reason why those people were not hanged but expelled was because of Tallulah's kindness. If she hadn't felt that those people had just taken the wrong path for a moment and wanted to give them a chance, the subsequent events would probably not have happened at all.

And if Ibuki Suika had not been stronger than the other party at that time, Alina, a woman with no strength at all, would probably not have had a good outcome facing those armed and crazy guys.

“Let’s put it this way, Tallulah’s intentions were good, but she failed to see clearly one thing: human nature is evil.

Not everyone is worth saving, because some people, whether they are normal people or infected people, are inherently bad because of their personality.

They are wolves that cannot be fed and snakes in winter.

You give it food to keep it alive, and warmth to keep it away from death, but it will not be grateful to you. It will only ask for more from you until it has eaten you dry, and then look for the next kind person.

How can you save such a person?

Saving them will only result in more good people getting hurt.

Tallulah just can't see this point. She thinks that relying on her ideals can make everyone follow her and move forward?

Come on, those people are stumbling blocks.

Instead of trying to remove the stumbling block, you're dragging it along with you. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Suixiang was furious when she thought about Alina. She had told Tallulah about this matter openly and secretly over the past few days, but she just didn't listen.

Regarding this kind of behavior that she regretted later, Suixiang just wanted to say that she regretted it too early.

"I will have a good talk with Tallulah about this matter. I believe that after this incident, she will find her true direction in the Reunion Movement."

Seeing that Suixiang was getting angrier and angrier, Shuangxing reached out and pressed her head, then took out a candy and handed it to her.

"As for the future, my suggestion is to bring two soldiers with you next time you go out. If you encounter this situation again, or encounter a patrol team, you will have no fighting ability at all. It is indeed too dangerous."

After Frost Star finished speaking, Alina nodded slightly. She was still a little frightened when she recalled what had happened before.

If Suika hadn't been there to take care of those bad guys, she would have probably said goodbye to the world.

"No, I want to find a way to at least give you the ability to protect yourself."

After Froststar left to find Tallulah, Suika touched her chin and said this.

"Huh? I'm still alive, so there's no need to be so nervous about this. And don't blame Tallulah. The path she's on is difficult, and we can't let her down."

Alina reached out and stroked Suika's head to calm her somewhat anxious mood.

At this time, Suixiang was quietly thinking about how to enhance Alina's fighting power in a short period of time.

First of all, there are props. There are many props with powerful combat capabilities in Dongfang.

If you can draw the right equipment and leave it to Alina, it can be said to be the best choice to improve combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

The second is spells. Alina is also an infected person, so in theory she can also use Originium skills, but most ordinary people rely on talent for this. They will delve deeper into what they are good at, such as Frost Star.

Only places like Ludwig University in Leithania, which has a strong academic atmosphere, or a small number of Sarkaz who have specialized in the art of originium know how to use various types of originium arts.

Apart from that, only family and bloodline inheritance remain.

Most ordinary infected people's research on spells basically depends on which direction they are good at, or which related abilities the infected Originium disease brings to them.

Suika is ready to spend some money to see if she can get some suitable skills or items, so that at least Alina will not be killed by the black snake again after she leaves.

As for getting the black snake out of Tallulah's body, she thought that if that guy dared to come out, she would definitely beat it into a pulp in three steps.

But others were buried deep within Tallulah's spirit, and her current abilities were all about her immense strength, which had nothing to do with this kind of spiritual battle.

So there is nothing we can do about it.

After Alina fell asleep, Suika walked to the door.

She looked at the twin moons above her head, then picked up balls of snow from the ground and piled them up outside the door to form a rabbit head.

"Lucky rabbit, grant me strength and give me something useful!"

After reading it, Suixiang put a full 100,000 Longmen coins into the prop box.

The next second, a tattered broom appeared in front of her.

"Marisa's beloved flying broom (replica):

Although it looks a bit tattered, it is a replica of Marisa's favorite flying broom.

Riding on it, Marisa traveled all over Gensokyo.

Speed: cruising 80 kilometers per hour, maximum 200 kilometers per hour.

The flight altitude is five kilometers.

It has its own windproof barrier and temperature regulation.

It is a must-have item for traveling at home and visiting relatives.

——From Marisa's friendly recommendation, produced by Kappa Heavy Industries.

Chapter 67: Fly, fly, my pride and indulgence

Although the item is not genuine, Suika is quite satisfied with it.

First of all, this thing is not fancy at all and no one will steal it if you put it in the house.

Secondly, the speed is quite good. The cruising speed of 80 kilometers in the air is more than enough for the passengers to escape from most pursuits.
