Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

And I checked this morning, and there were some vague symbols engraved on the objects at the ends of the three chains.

Although it's different from the record of the magic unit I learned in Victoria, the teacher at the time also said that the magic unit was not the only one he described, so I can only say that the chain is indeed very suspicious."

"So how much do you think what that kid said is credible?" Jiu crossed his hands in front of his chest and made the pose of Commander Ikari.

"Seven points!

I felt like she was hiding something, but not much, and it was something we both had personal experience with.”

When talking about the experience, Chen's expression was a little conflicted.

"So where's that little girl? You didn't bring her with you?"

Jiu looked behind the two of them, but didn't see Ibuki Suika.

"Yesterday, Shi Huaiya introduced him to a courier job. She should be on her way to the post office now!"

After calculating the time, Xingxiong said.

"Messenger? Introduced by Shi Huaiya?" Jiu asked.

"Well, seeing that the child was young, I wanted to persuade her to go to school, but she said she had no family and no relatives, and there was no condition for her to go to school. After hearing that, Shi Huaiya introduced her to the job of a messenger."

Xingxiong recounted what happened yesterday.

"Are you sure it was Shi Huaiya who proposed this job and not that kid?"

As a police officer, Jiu instinctively questioned the content.

"Sure, it was Shi Huaiya who brought up this matter, you can ask her." Xingxiong said that he was upright, and then told what happened at the post office.

"I see, it seems that Suika has a clear mind!

So, bring the kid to the police station this afternoon."

After thinking about it, Jiu decided to meet in person the little guy who had tricked his two most trusted confidants.

Suika didn't know what happened in the Guard Bureau. After getting the letter, she ran from door to door according to the address on it.

Today went much more smoothly than yesterday. It only took half an hour to deliver all the mail, and I also received some tips.

Including what the man gave her in the morning, Suixiang calculated that there were a total of 300 Lungmen coins.

For her who was penniless, it was a huge sum of money.

Chapter 16: Does using a spellcasting unit make you a warlock?

Cuixiang naturally would not spend this money immediately.

After all, the two horrible skills that cost a thousand Longmen coins had already broken her heart, and she didn't even dare to imagine what kind of garbage would come out if she threw in 300 Longmen coins.

Is it food that Reimu let go, or is it mushrooms that the black and white mouse just picked?

Instead of spending money to draw this kind of thing, she might as well save it for a bigger one.

After walking back into the house, she found some tomatoes, some first-generation noodles, and some feather beast eggs.

She found a stool to stand on while cooking, and then put the seasonings next to her. Cuixiang simply made some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cooked the noodles, and poured the fried scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the noodles as a topping.

After making a classic tomato and egg noodle dish, Suika brought the bowl to the sofa, opened the Ibuki rice bowl, and happily ate her lunch with a mouthful of noodles and a sip of wine.

When Xingxiong came back at noon, he saw Suika standing barefoot on the table, humming something. When he walked over, he heard Suika singing, "Hearing his words scared me so much that I was sweating all over. Fifteen years later, he finally told the truth..."

She frowned. This sounded a bit like the opera in Baizao, but she was not interested in that thing and didn't know much about it. She just knew that it existed.

But judging from his flushed cheeks and hazy eyes, he was probably drunk again.

Thinking of this, Xingxiong couldn't help but feel angry and amused.

After all, it is strange no matter how you look at it that such a child is an alcoholic.

But she is very well-behaved in this regard and only goes home to drink after finishing her work.

Judging from the state of her face, Xingxiong estimated that it would be impossible to persuade her to quit drinking, and could only hope to persuade her to drink less.

"Sister Xingxiong!" Just as Xingxiong walked in with a lot of thoughts in her mind, Suika heard the footsteps, turned around and saw the other party. She first called out sweetly, then jumped over.

The star bear quickly raised his head, fearing that the other party's head would hit his horn.

"You guy...Alas!" Thousands of words turned into a sigh before they were spoken.

Xingxiong, holding Suika, walked out of the door, awkwardly greeted the neighbors and acquaintances passing by, threw her into the car, and then the tricycle drove away from the street.

When they arrived at the Guards' Bureau, Suika, who had felt the cool breeze all the way, felt much more awake.

"Huh? Why are you here at the Imperial Guards Bureau again?" Suixiang looked around. Isn't this the Imperial Guards Bureau?

She remembered that all those messy documents had been processed yesterday, so why did she have to come here today?

"The boss wants to see you. Remember, tell the truth about everything. If you are caught lying, your license may be revoked.

Without a residence permit, you can’t stay in Longmen.”

Afraid that Suixiang would talk nonsense in front of Jiu, Xingxiong deliberately made the situation sound more serious just to scare her.

"I see. It's just the truth. I just need to answer whatever she asks." Suixiang was not worried. After all, most of what she said before was true, and the false part was difficult to prove.

Xingxiong brought her to Jiu's office.

Jiu was writing something at this time. After a minute, she stopped writing and looked up at Suika.

"Ibuki Suika, right? I'm going to ask you three questions now. You must answer them immediately after I ask them. You won't have time to think. Do you understand?"

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Suika's face, observing the girl's subtle expressions.

With a clear conscience, Suika nodded naturally. Although she was a little nervous, she was not too worried.

"Do you have any purpose in coming to Longmen?"

"no"

"Do you have any thoughts about approaching Xingxiong?"

"no"

"Why did you join Longmen?"

“Because I woke up right here.”

Nine asked quickly, and Suika answered quickly.

It took less than ten seconds from the time the three questions were asked to the time they were answered. After the questions were answered, Suika looked at her innocently.

"Any more questions?"

"Let's go outside and rest for a while!" Jiu looked at Xingxiong and said.

Xingxiong took Suika's hand and led her out the door.

After the two left, Chen Heshi Huaiya walked out from behind the screen next to them.

"There should be nothing wrong with this child!" Jiuxian said his conclusion.

“Although she seemed a little nervous, if a child, a normal person, came here and acted so relaxed, I would still be a little skeptical.

Then, when she answered the question just now, her eyes were fixed on me without turning away, which proved that she did not go through the thought process.

So she wouldn't be someone with ulterior motives, coming to Longmen with a purpose and deliberately getting close to our Guards officers."

After Jiu finished speaking, Shi Huaiya stared at Chen and said with puffed cheeks

"Humph, it's just that this little bitch doesn't believe me. I clearly told her that I was the one who introduced her to the courier job. That girl probably just wanted to get a job from me in the first place."

"There are so many people in the Guard Bureau, why would she look for a stranger like you to introduce a job?" Chen answered neither softly nor harshly.

"Do you think everyone is as blind as you? With my temperament, others can tell at a glance that I was born into a noble family." Shi Huaiya answered proudly with his head held high and chest puffed out.

"Hmph!" Chen turned his head away in disdain.

"Okay, both of you stop arguing.

Isn't it something to be happy about that the child is fine?" Nine fingers tapped the table, interrupting the two people's quarrel.

"Chen, go call them in. Shi Huaiya, please be the recorder."

Although Suika's suspicion was ruled out, she still had three strange spell-casting units in her hands. In the spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic, Jiu decided to personally inquire about the spells brought by her spell-casting units.

Soon, Suika sat down again.

"First of all, welcome to Longmen. Since you are a sorcerer and have your own spell-casting unit, you will definitely need to be reviewed.

Please first introduce your spellcasting units and the spells you can cast with them."

Nine asked in a proper manner.

Suixiang knew that she had passed the most difficult level. Now, as long as her "abilities" were recorded as spells, she would be able to live freely in Longmen without any obstacles.

She introduced in detail the abilities represented by the three different chains.

After hearing her words, Jiu's expression was exactly the same as Chen and Xingxiong's expressions after hearing them before.

It was the first time she knew that a sorcerer would create such an outrageous and weird spell-casting unit.

It can be said that if what she said is true, then the person who created this thing must have a completely different way of thinking from a normal person.

"Thank you for your detailed explanation, but could you show us your 'spells'?" Jiu was very curious whether Suixiang could really achieve the level she described.

Chapter 17 Let’s have a party at the drop of a hat

"Of course, no problem. You've worked hard today, Sheriff. Come have a glass of wine to moisten your throat."

While everyone else was staring in amazement, Suixiang picked up an empty paper cup from the side, then used Ibuki's bowl to scoop a glass of wine and handed it to Jiu. Jiu took the paper cup naturally and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking it, she finally came to her senses.

"No, how could I..." She looked at the cup in her hand in shock, because from the moment she took the cup to the moment she drank the wine in one breath, she didn't feel anything unusual, as if this was what she should do.

Seeing that she seemed to be unable to believe what was happening in front of her, Suika raised the corner of her mouth, sat down on the table, and then leaned over.

"Have you finished your drink? Do you want some more?"

Then, under the gaze of several people, he poured another small cup for Jiu, and then Jiu drank it again amid the shouts of "Ah~~" from several people.

After drinking and regaining consciousness, Jiu felt that his worldview had collapsed.

If she didn't react to the first cup and was tricked, she was very cautious during the second one, but somehow she continued to drink it.

Xingxiong and Chen, who witnessed Suixiang persuading Jiu to drink, vaguely recalled what happened last night when they saw this scene.

It seemed that in this situation, Suixiang kept urging them to drink one cup after another, and the two of them drank one cup after another.

Thinking of these two people, his face turned even worse.

"Okay, you don't have to go on!" A blush appeared on Jiu's face. It seemed that she couldn't hold on after drinking one more glass of wine.

Suika understood this very well. You know, the wine in Ibuki Hyōgo's cup is not ordinary wine. As wine for ghosts to drink, it is particularly outstanding in terms of intoxication.

The name of this wine is God's and Ghost's Poison Wine.

In the next game, it is Shuten-doji's treasure.

Even if Suixiang didn't add anything weird into it, an ordinary person would get drunk after drinking one sip.

Seeing Suixiang return to her seat and sit down, she threw the wine glass aside, then picked up the brewed tea next to it and drank it in one gulp.

After washing away the sleepiness from the alcohol with that bitter feeling, he said to Suika

"This ability can't be used easily in Longmen anymore, okay?"

Before, she thought that Suika's Originium technique released by the spell unit was a bit ridiculous, but now she no longer thinks so. Instead, she thinks that this technique looks insignificant, but is quite terrifying.

After all, if the enemy attacks with knives, swords, or magic, she can still resist, but with Suixiang's toast, she didn't have any chance to resist at all.

You have to know that this was when she was prepared.

As for the fact that the other party could produce wine from the wine gourd, she didn't want to study it any further.

"Then could you demonstrate the spell that allows a banquet to be held as long as there are more than three people?"

Now the only thing left is this last spell, which seems to be more effective than urging people to drink without being rejected.

Cuixiang looked around and saw that there were five people in the room: Jiu, Xingxiong, Chen, Shi Huaiya and herself, which exceeded the minimum requirement for activating the ability.

Then she stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers.

The next second, all kinds of streamers and balloons appeared in the office, which had just been very serious, and an old-fashioned radio appeared not far away and played elegant songs.

On the empty table, dishes and desserts appeared out of thin air, soon forming a beautiful pyramid.
