Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"Of course, Miss Suika has come to Londinium, and as your host, I will definitely not let you sleep on the streets.

Housekeeper, take the lady to the cooperating hotel and book her the best room.

As compensation for not being able to receive you personally, your expenses during your stay in Londinium will be fully covered by our Sivaya family."

After saying this, the man raised his hand and signaled the butler to see the guest out.

After Suika walked out the door, she looked back. Before closing the door, he was still flipping through the photo album very carefully.

Of course, he certainly couldn't tell from that photo album.

It was full of photos of Suika taken in the Reunion Movement and Leitania, and there was no Victoria's Secret at all.

But Suixiang felt that this person gave her a strange and contradictory feeling.

At this moment, the housekeeper's low voice came from the side

"Miss, you've come all this way, surely it's not just to give me that photo album!"

"Oh!" Suixiang turned her head to look at the butler, who lowered his head even lower.

“Elder Elisa said that we servants should do our best to help you when you need help. If you have any trouble, please feel free to ask.

Although I don't have much ability, I believe I can still help you in Londinium."

“Yes, that’s right. The reason I came to Londinium was to look for someone, a Viscount named Scott.

He must have come to Londinium from Godottin some time ago."

Suika thought about it and realized that she didn't seem to have any other connections in Londinium. If no one helped her, then running around in such a big city to find someone she didn't know would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Miss, this is not a simple matter... You may not know that Lentinium has gathered more than 60% of the aristocracy in Victoria.

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but of the ten people you spotted standing at the gate, at least half had noble titles, and the rest were serving the nobility...

So if you want to find a viscount from the countryside... I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while."

The butler answered very sincerely.

"It's okay, just try your best. It's not your fault if you can't find it, right?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss. I will arrange for someone to help you find the Viscount." After the butler said this, he did not continue speaking but led Suika to the garage outside the house.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of an ordinary-looking hotel.

After getting off the bus, Cuixiang found that this place was close to the edge of the city and was the worst living area in the city.

"You're making a fool of yourself by doing this." Suixiang frowned. The agent said nice things, but his actual behavior was too... petty.

Of course, as someone who could sleep in the Beast Cave, Cuixiang had no complaints about living here. After all, the room she rented was indeed the best and most luxurious private room here.

After seeing Suika settled in, the housekeeper said goodbye and left.

Chapter 163: Conspiracy! Suika walks into a trap

After settling down, Suixiang contacted Scout and let each other know they were safe.

They also did not start to act after entering Londinium today.

After all, Londinium is so big that it would be difficult to find someone without asking for help, let alone if you don’t know them.

Fortunately, Scout gave her good news. After arriving here, he contacted our ship, and the Rhodes Island ship sent him photos of Viscount Scott and his family.

Although it is not easy to find people based on these photos, it is better than trying to find an elephant by groping in the dark.

After resting for a while, she walked out of the room and strolled around in the evening, and returned to the house in less than half an hour.

Because she found out she was being followed.

Considering that she only knew a few people in Londinium, and even the current Tracys in Londinium would not know her, she set her sights on the "agent".

The petty agent who currently has a grievance against me and arranges for someone to follow me is indeed capable of doing such an impolite thing.

But she had no obligation to explain to anyone. After all, even without the help of Shi Huaiya's family, she didn't think she would not be able to find her target.

After all, there is Rhodes Island, and she is very confident in Scout.

And well... she stood by the window and blew gently, and countless small suika appeared and then turned into mist and merged with the thick fog of Londinium.

For the next two days, Suixiang acted like she was on a tour of Londinium, wandering around various attractions during the day, taking photos, and enjoying authentic Victorian cuisine.

In the evening, I went back to the hotel to contact Rhodes Island, and after getting to know each other's situation, I continued to rest.

On the afternoon of the third day, just as Cuixiang finished her dinner and was about to go to the small park in front of the hotel to do a set of "Times Are Calling" to digest her food, and then go back to her room to rest, the housekeeper of Shi Huaiya's family suddenly found her.

"Ms. Suika, we've found information about the person you asked us to help you find."

"Oh!" Suixiang was a little surprised. After all, her clone had traveled through half of Londinium in the past three days and still couldn't find the guy. She didn't expect that Shi Huaiya's people actually found him.

"Can you take me there now?" Suixiang stopped moving and stood up to look at him.

"Of course!" the butler pointed to the car not far away and continued

"I have prepared a vehicle and can go directly there."

After getting in the car, it drove out quickly. Soon after, Suixiang frowned because this was the road out of the city.

Don't ask how she recognized it, because the city gate is not far away...

Sensing Suika's doubts, the butler spoke

"According to our intelligence, the Viscount you're looking for doesn't have any property in Londinium, and the city's expenses are not something a Viscount from a small town can afford in the long term.

So he bought a piece of land outside the village outside the city..."

When he said this, the butler seemed a little proud, as if to say that Londinium, as the heart of Victoria, was not something that a small noble could casually join.

Soon, the vehicle stopped outside a forest. Through the gaps in the forest, we could vaguely see a large farm inside.

"Is the person here?" After getting off the car, Suixiang looked at the butler, who nodded in confirmation.

"Okay, it's so late now, you go back, I can handle this myself." Suika said goodbye to the butler without any suspicion and walked into the forest.

Not long after she walked in, a young voice came from the side

"Father, everything is ready!"

After hearing that voice, the housekeeper's kind face suddenly became gloomy.

"Give the order and start the action as soon as the girl enters the house!"

"Father, is this really okay?" The young voice seemed hesitant.

“Why is it bad? After that damn guy came, I don’t know what kind of magic potion he gave Alyssa, and he actually wanted to sell all of Shi Huaiya’s family property in Londinium.

They can leave, but what about us?

It took decades for our family to finally come from a small place and settle in Londinium. In another twenty years, you and I can become real Londinium people.

Elisa's damned decision to withdraw from Londinium shattered our dreams. It's not just that she ran away fast, but this damned woman had the audacity to come back...

She and Shi Huaiya's family must pay the price for their choice!

must! "

At this moment, the butler's face was distorted, like a devil.

Hearing his suppressed anger, the young man stopped trying to dissuade him and instead sighed and fell silent.

Suika had already walked into the manor.

Thinking that the unscrupulous capitalist was on this farm, Suixiang couldn't suppress her anger.

As she approached, she took a quick look around and found that the farm had no guards. Then she thought, as a small noble who came to Londinium from Godottin, how could she afford guards after losing her source of funds?

She didn't hesitate and chose to break in.

With a gentle push, the door was opened and screams of women and children were heard from inside the house.

After walking in, Suixiang was stunned because she found that she didn't know these people. Then she took out her personal terminal and compared the appearance of the people in the photos sent to her by Scout. Then she looked at the people not far away and felt something was wrong.

Because the number and race of people inside don't match.

She walked up to the woman who was closest to her and still kept a trace of calm, protecting the children behind her, and handed her the personal terminal to her.

"Do you recognize these people?"

"I don't know him!" After staring at the photo in the man's terminal for several times, the woman said affirmatively.

"What's your name?" Suika continued to ask

"Maria Svyatoslava," the woman answered after swallowing.

"Shi Huaiya! What's going on! How could it be Shi Huaiya!" After hearing the other party's words, Suixiang suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"What happened down there?" At this time, a somewhat sharp male voice came from upstairs. Suixiang felt that the voice was somewhat familiar and looked up.

When she saw this, she was stunned, because the person who appeared in the corridor was the last representative of the Shi Huaiya family in Londinium whom she had met a few days ago.

After seeing Suika, the man was also stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of anger.

"Ms. Ibuki Suika, although you are a friend of the host family and a distinguished guest of our Shihuaiya family, if you cannot provide a reasonable reason for so recklessly breaking down my door in the middle of the night and threatening my family, I will, on behalf of the Shihuaiya family, cancel all your status in Londinium and call the police."

Chapter 164: No passing here!

When she saw the other person, Suika knew that she must have fallen into a trap.

But she was also confused. The housekeeper had no grudge against her, so why did he do this?

Make yourself at odds with Shi Huaiya's family?

Or has the internal struggle of the big family involved me?

Just when Suika was daydreaming, a child sitting not far away suddenly pointed out the window.

"Dad, fire!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw flames rising from the forest not far away.

The woods that were supposed to serve as a protective barrier have now become an inescapable cage for everyone in the manor.

Such a big fire was obviously intended to put an end to it once and for all and burn everyone inside to death.

Suika walked to the door and looked around, and found that the fire was not only in front but all around.

It seems that the murderer wanted to kill himself and his entire family here.

After figuring it out, Suika became colder.

She walked back into the house calmly. At this time, the two adults from No. 5 Middle School seemed a little panicked, and the children who didn't know what was happening were still curiously looking at the fire outside that was getting closer and closer.

“Sit down and talk, Mr. Agent.

I think we have all been tricked. Don't even think about surviving by hiding in the cellar. If the fire comes, the smoke and dust will go downwards, and the people in the cellar will be suffocated by the smoke and dust even if they are not burned to death.

Stay here, I am sure I can protect you and get you out safely."

Suika said calmly, pointing to a nearby dining table.

After hearing what Suika said, the woman looked at the man. The man took a deep breath, suppressed his inner panic, walked over and sat next to Suika.

"My name is Matt Shihuaiya, and I'm Alyssa's agent who stayed in Londinium to sell the property. Miss Suika, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

At first, Matt was indeed angry at Suika's sudden arrival and rude behavior.

But after seeing the fire outside and hearing Suika's words, he realized that both he and Suika had fallen into a trap.

"First of all, I want to ask you something...Mr. Matt, do you know these people? I need the truth."

Suika took out her personal terminal again and handed it to Matt.

After looking at it, Matt shook his head.

"So this is your property?" Suixiang asked.

“No, to be precise, this is the family property, but it has not been sold yet because it is located outside the city.

I have been very busy recently and finally got two days of rest. At the suggestion of the housekeeper, I brought my family here to stay for a while and relax.

And I received news that someone has set their sights on this manor, so I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to come here anymore…”

Matt did not hide it. After all, the fire was getting closer and closer, and there was no point in hiding the information. If the girl in front of him was really sure that she could protect her family, then the probability of being rescued would obviously be higher if he told the truth.

"Then let me tell you about my story... A few days ago, I came to Londinium to look for someone, but after I arrived, someone told me that you were very dissatisfied with Alyssa's decision to evacuate Londinium and might not help me, so I didn't tell him and just got rid of him later.

This afternoon, he found me and told me that he had found the person, then drove me here...

This man is the butler.”
