Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Because of this, there is a huge difference in age groups in the school.

Just like now, within Suika's visual range, the younger ones were engaged in physical training, the older ones were engaged in hand-to-hand combat training, and the oldest group was engaged in fully armed combat training. Even though the children in physical training were sweating profusely on one side, the students in combat training on the other side were fighting fiercely, but they could completely avoid interfering with each other, which was very strange.

"Big guy, can we take pictures in here?" Suixiang asked as it was a rare occasion for her to come here.

"You can't take pictures of other people in the school, and you can't take pictures in places where photography is not allowed. Just follow these two rules." The tall security guard said after glancing at Suika.

"That's great. Take a picture for me!" Suixiang said, pointing to a huge iron shield model not far away.

The guard didn't expect that the other party would actually take out a camera and put it in his hand. Then he jumped to the side of the building, raised his hands high, and made a V sign.

"Praise the sun!"

……

Although he didn't understand, the guard still respected Suika's habits.

After taking a picture of her, Suika picked it up with great interest and said

"Not bad, not bad. Big guy, you're quite good at photography! I think Old Chen will be very happy if I send this picture back."

"Old Chen?" The big security guard looked at Suika and said

"Are you from Longmen?"

“Yes, I’m from Longmen.

Do you know Chen Huijie? Were you her instructor before?

Hearing the other person's words, Suixiang looked around in surprise, and seeing the beard on his face, she realized that he was the teacher here.

"Instructor, how is that possible? She and I were in the same class... She was the jewel of the academy back then, but unfortunately she wasn't from Victoria, so she left Victoria after graduation.

I heard she returned to Longmen, how is she doing?"

The man touched his chin and said with emotion.

"After returning to Longmen, she joined the Imperial Guard Bureau and is currently an inspector in the Serious Crime Squad. She has over a dozen brothers under her.

But you are in the same class as her? Does the Guard Academy also have students repeating their studies?

Cuixiang looked at the other person again. No matter how you looked at him, he was already in his thirties. How could he be in the same class as Chen Huijie, who was in his twenties?

"I'm only in my twenties!" The big guy rolled his eyes, dissatisfied that the little guy in front of him mistook him for an uncle.

"Tsk, if what you said is true, it just means... Victorians age really fast." Suika's sigh made the man feel even more depressed.

"Can you tell me about Chen's story in the academy? I haven't heard her talk about it..." Seeing the man fall into depression, Suixiang asked.

"Chen Huijie... She's the most hardworking person in the entire grade. During the assessment, her scores were even higher than ours. If she hadn't insisted on returning to Dayan, with her grades, she would have been able to choose from all the armies in Victoria after graduation.

You said she didn't join the army after she returned, but instead joined the Imperial Guard and became an inspector. That's a shame."

The man looked as if he was wasting his talent by blocking the inspector at the Guards Bureau.

"That can't be helped. The Imperial Guard Bureau is Longmen's only armed force, and as the inspector of the Serious Crime Squad, there are only a few people who are higher in rank than her."

Suixiang shrugged. Longmen did not have military power, so the Imperial Guard Bureau was Longmen's violent agency.

The serious crime squad is the most capable group among the violent organizations. This shows that Lao Wei has put a lot of effort into paving the way for Chen.

"Are you delivering a letter for Chen this time? To her instructor?" The man took another photo of Suixiang and asked while handing her the camera.

"No, the recipient's name is Fiona. She said it was her roommate and junior schoolmate when she was studying here." This was not a confidential project, so Suixiang answered the other party directly.

“Fiona… I remember that silly Vaifan who used to always follow Chen around.

She went to a good place..."

The man sighed and his interest suddenly dropped. He completely lost the mood to chat with Suika.

Suika could understand this.

After all, I stayed on campus to work as a security guard after graduation, while others were selected by the Storm Commandos after graduation. This psychological gap would make people very frustrated.

This guy is just in a bad mood, which means he has a good character.

Soon, under the guidance of the other party, Suixiang came to the Academic Affairs Office and met Instructor Slim, who had gray hair but looked very serious. Just a glance at him made Suixiang feel as if she had seen the former director of the Academic Affairs Office.

"Are you Ibuki Suika?" After the person who brought Suika here left, the instructor who had been sitting there upright and silent asked after glancing at Suika.

"Yes, you are Instructor Slim!

This is the letter I brought from Dayan from Officer Chen Huijie to her junior schoolmate. Since I don't know the military unit number or location of Miss Fiona, I hope the academy can help forward it on my behalf."

Suixiang handed the letter she had prepared long ago to the other party with both hands.

After taking the letter, Slim unfolded it and started reading it.

After reading it, his expression improved a lot, because there was nothing wrong with the letter. It was indeed just a casual letter from Chen Huijie to Fiona.

It tells about her recent situation and other family matters after returning to Longmen.

Suika did not show any anger at the instructor's violation of privacy by directly opening other people's letters.

Because the recipient of the letter is Fiona, who is a member of the Victorian Storm Commandos and a serving soldier.

If a soldier from another country contacts a core member of his country's top military, I would also carefully check the contents of the letter to avoid leaks and other problems.

"Since there is no problem with the letter, I will send someone to deliver it to Fiona. However, due to the special nature of Fiona's work, there may not be a reply." The instructor said, staring into Suika's eyes.

"It doesn't matter, because I'm only responsible for delivering the letters and I haven't received the task of taking the letters back." Suixiang said sincerely.

"Ah!?" Suixiang's words left the instructor a little confused.

After all, letter writing is a mutual matter between two parties. I have never encountered this kind of situation before. I wrote a letter just because I wanted to write to you, and I didn't think that you would reply.

You have to know that there are two countries between Dayan and Victoria.

It seems a bit unreasonable to send a letter from so far away just to chat about family matters.

"You and Chen Huijie seem to have a pretty good relationship, right?"

The instructor looked at Suika and asked.

"My guardian serves under her."

Just one sentence can almost explain the relationship between the two.

Chen is very young. She joined the Longmen Guard Bureau and became an inspector, which must have put her under tremendous pressure.

In this case, anyone who works under her and whom she can trust must be a confidant.

Only in this way would she entrust this seemingly troublesome and dangerous task to a trusted family member.

Then he asked some more questions about Chen's situation, and Suixiang answered them fluently. The two chatted for a long time before Suixiang came out.

After she left, the instructor picked up the letter and checked it over and over again.

Only after confirming that there are no secret codes or writings hidden by special means should the letter be resealed.

Then arrange for people to be sent to the Storm Commandos.

On the other side, after leaving the academy, Suika looked at the map, and instead of returning to Londinium, she walked towards the south of Victoria.

Her target was Godottin in south-west Victoria.

Then from there, enter Xiosta, which has not yet been destroyed by the volcano.

With the identity of the Messenger of Scourge, she no longer had to sneak into the city like before.

In addition, since she is not infected, the guards on Victoria's mobile city are less hostile to her.

Along the way, Suika also discovered that even in Victoria, a relatively open country, the status of an infected person is not even as good as that of a normal illegal immigrant.

If someone is caught sneaking in, as long as their background is clean, the town will accept them.

Because most of the illegal immigrants are those whose hometowns have suffered from natural disasters or other accidents, and then they go to live with relatives in other places.

As a result, his relatives are gone, and he is an ordinary person who has lost his identity.

Towns will enthusiastically recruit these people, and if they have special skills, they will even be directly arranged jobs.

I think that if you are an infected person, it is normal to be harassed when entering the city even if you have reasonable identification.

Most towns and cities also restrict the travel of infected people.

Ordinary people can move around in 90 percent of the city, while infected people can only move around in the remaining 10 percent.

It can be said that prejudice and discrimination are fully displayed.

Suika had no good solution to this problem. After all, the hostility and discrimination against the infected people had been deeply rooted for thousands of years.

Unless a drug is successfully developed that can allow the infected to grow old, get sick and die like normal people, and the infected will not "BOOM" and explode due to accidents and infect the people around them.

Otherwise, this discrimination will never disappear.

"Huhu, it still takes three days to reach Xiaoqiu County... I didn't expect that this road, which doesn't look long on the map, is actually so far to walk." Suixiang sighed as she looked into the distance.

She had originally planned to go directly to the Dukedom of Godottin.

But as she walked south, she saw a place name that looked familiar to her - Xiaoqiu County.

This place is unremarkable now, but later there will be the Xiaoqiu County incident where the military bombards the townspeople and Outcast takes away seven people with a six-hit combo for justice.

In addition, the person who was suspected to be Jeanne d'Arc of Terra, Kotonayagi, made Suika want to go and see this place.

Now that she had the urge, she naturally took action.

After all, she didn't have any tasks to complete after sending the letter, so she could go wherever she wanted based on her own ideas.

So a slight deviation from the planned route was no big deal for her.

Chapter 105: The Unexpected Guest

At night, next to a shallow beach.

Suika sat by the fire and looked at the fire in front of her.

There were many mosquitoes and insects crawling on her skin, but she ignored them completely, like an old monk in meditation.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she doesn't want to deal with it, but mosquitoes are like this, if you kill one batch, another batch will come, and she couldn't find anything like mugwort around to repel insects, so if she fought with mosquitoes all night, she wouldn't be able to sleep. So the method she chose was very simple, which was to make her skin infinitely tight.

But mosquitoes don't have brains, so when they see a light source in the dark night, they will naturally be attracted.

Then the people sitting next to the light source are just a buffet in the eyes of mosquitoes.

But Mosquito didn't expect that the buffet in front of him was a bit tough.

After Suika used her ability, her skin became extremely tight and invulnerable, giving mosquitoes no chance to get a taste of it.

No matter what methods the mosquitoes crawling on her body tried, they just couldn't get their mouthparts under her skin.

She rarely continued to drive away insects, so it was a terrifying sight that she would just mind her own business while mosquitoes were crawling on her body.

"When we get to Kouchi County, be sure to buy some insect repellent."

After wiping the mosquito off her arm, Suixiang swore secretly.

"Drive away all mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants..." At this time, a pleasant male voice came from the side.

Suixiang looked over and saw a tall, handsome man wearing a dark blue combat uniform and with long dark gray hair. He was waving a staff like a baton in his hand. Suixiang looked closely and saw that it was not a staff at all, but a bone flute.

As he swung the bone flute, mysterious runes emerged from it and spread out in all directions.

The next moment, the mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants that were swarming around like bees disappeared.

Compared to this gorgeous magic, what attracted the most attention was the strange things that spread out like wings beside the man's ears.

People who are not familiar with it may mistake it for the ear wing of Liberi, but only those who are familiar with it know that it is the crown of the Banshee King's Court, one of the oldest inheritances of the Sarkaz.

When they saw each other, Suika almost called out the nickname "Li Gousheng".

Fortunately, she put the words back on the tip of her tongue.

"Hello... Li..." Suixiang pointed to the empty space next to the fire.

logos walked over to her and sat down naturally.

Suixiang looked at him, then looked at the fish that was almost grilled next to her, and said with a vigilant look

"If you want to eat grilled scales, go grill them yourself. This is just mine..."

……

Logos thought of many things to talk about after they met, but he didn't expect that the second sentence the other party said would make him at a loss for what to do next.

"Don't worry, I won't steal your food."
