Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

After saying that, Suika looked out the window without saying anything else.

Matt's face became very scary under the light of the fire, because it was the housekeeper who was in charge of bringing his family here for vacation. It can be seen that the other party not only wanted to cause conflict between Cuixiang and Shi Huaiya's family, but also wanted everyone to die here.

"Dad, Dad, the fire has stopped!"

The child's voice came again. Matt looked outside the house. The flames had approached the house less than five meters away and stopped there as if blocked by something.

He walked out the door in surprise and came to the blazing fire.

The flame was clearly burning right in front of him, less than half a meter away, but he couldn't even feel the temperature rising, let alone the burning sensation.

It was as if the fire in front of me was just an illusion.

Thinking of this, his hand rose involuntarily, trying to pass through the mysterious barrier.

"Let me remind you, the temperature outside is currently between 300 and 500 degrees Celsius. I won't be responsible for any burns you get on your hands."

Suika's voice from behind woke him up.

"What on earth is this..." He and his family are ordinary people who don't understand Originium techniques at all, so this illusion-like scene in front of them definitely won't come from their side. The only one who can do this is Suika who suddenly appears.

"I said I would protect your safety, and I won't break my promise." Then she turned to look at Londinium.

"You can see such a huge fire, right? When do you think the people coming to check it out will arrive?"

Matt heard Suika's words and looked towards the distant looming walls of Londinium.

"Half an hour. This place is too close to Londinium, so within half an hour the city defense forces will definitely come to check what happened here!"

"That fire outside won't last more than half an hour... Even if they prepared some kindling ahead of time, the house hasn't caught fire yet, and the fire is so big... I'm afraid it will be out in ten minutes at most!"

Suika turned her gaze back to the fire in front of her and continued

"You can hide in the house with your wife and children now. Remember, if you have weapons, take them... leave the rest to me!"

"You mean someone will do something desperate?" Matt, who was left here by Alyssa to take charge of the aftermath, was not a fool. He couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Suika's words.

Suika nodded. "It's natural. The house was completely unharmed despite such a huge fire. We put so much effort into it, and even made a desperate attack, but it didn't do anything..."

If it were you, would you be willing to do that?"

At this time, outside, the housekeeper looked at the house standing tall in the flames and was completely unaffected with a face like a devil, and his mentality collapsed.

In order to deliver this fatal blow, he mobilized all the combustible materials he could use.

Just for the final revenge on the Shi Huaiya family and Suixiang at this moment.

But he had taken everything into account, but he didn't expect that the fire would stop in front of the attic.

Although I don’t know why this happens, if the fire can’t get in, the chances of the people inside surviving become infinitely higher.

He looked at his son and grabbed his collar.

"You didn't arrange a place for that damn Matt to live?"

"How is that possible? Everything is arranged according to your arrangement..."

"What's going on over there!" the housekeeper said, pointing to the house in flames that showed no sign of burning.

"I, I don't know either..." The young man was also a little confused at this time.

If Suika and Matt were both burned to death in there, with no evidence to prove their guilt, the worst that could happen to them would be their dismissal.

But if anyone survives...

Chapter 165: Different Principles Cannot Work Together

Even though Shi Huaiya's main family is no longer in Victoria, and most of the personnel have evacuated from Londinium.

But Shi Huaiya's family is not only noble but also rich. As the saying goes, money can make things happen.

Despite the financial offensive, the Shi Huaiya clan still has many "friends".

If Matt and Suika died in there, all the secrets would be buried and no one would know they were here because of me, but if someone came out alive...

Due to the serious crime of killing a noble, it is very likely that they will have to work as the lowest-level laborers in the most difficult and dangerous Originium mines for the rest of their lives.

"Is the crossbow I asked you to prepare ready?" A fierce light flashed in the butler's eyes, and the rest of the people silently took out weapons from the bags behind them.

"We have less than ten minutes left. The city defense forces will definitely arrive in ten minutes. We must evacuate before that!" Looking at the flames getting smaller and smaller, the butler took the lead. More than a dozen people came out of the darkness and walked towards the last house that was unscathed in the flames.

“Okay, Matt.

Stay in the house with your wife and children, and leave the rest to me!"

Suika could clearly see those people who came out so brazenly. Now that they had shown up, it was obvious that these guys were desperate and hoped to resolve the situation before the city defense forces of Londinium arrived.

In response, Suika said that ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Just as Matt was about to close the door, Suika suddenly asked

"Let me ask you something. Was it you who arranged for me to stay in that remote civilian hotel and sent someone to follow me?"

"Ah!" Matt was a little confused and didn't know what Suika meant, but Suika had already found the answer from his expression.

Looking at the enemy approaching from outside the flames, Suika waved her hand and asked Matt to hide in the house.

"Swoosh!" Accompanied by a chill, an arrow with an Originium tip was caught by Suixiang.

Looking at the Originium particle on the arrow, Suixiang couldn't help but sigh at the viciousness of her opponent.

Don’t underestimate the tiny Originium particles, but once they are shot, they will infect the person who is hit very quickly.

Even if he survived, he would be a low-status Originium patient for the rest of his life.

After the first arrow, a series of arrows followed.

Suixiang raised her hand calmly and swung it suddenly.

The strong wind rushed towards each other with a strong rebound force

"Ah!" Two consecutive screams were heard. Two people who were unlucky were hit by the arrows flying back.

The expressions of the remaining people also changed at this time.

When they first saw that the house was not affected, some of them speculated that there might be a sorcerer present.

But the butler said with certainty that even for a warlock, it would not be easy to use primitive skills to block such a large fire in a short time, and his observation showed that none of the people inside had any Originium skills, so it was very likely that some kind of protective spell of the room itself was activated.

It was obvious from Suika's casual attack that she was not only a sorcerer, but also had very powerful Originium skills.

Looking at the hesitant enemy, Suixiang calmly picked up Ibuki's ladle and drank it happily, then looked at the others.

"I have no grudges against the Shi Huaiya family, and I'm also good friends with the high-ranking officials. Why would you attack me?"

Even though she already knew that the mastermind behind this incident was the housekeeper Suika still didn't quite understand it, because in her opinion, she and the housekeeper were not on the same page at all, and would never have any intersection except this time.

Moreover, from what I saw at Shi Huaiya's house, I could tell that this man had good relationships with both superiors and subordinates, and he could even say a few words to the servants who passed by.

But this kind of good guy actually made the move of burning himself and Matt's family to death outside Londinium.

She just wanted to know why.

"Why! You still have the nerve to ask why!

The Shihuaiya family spent countless amounts of money to successfully establish themselves in Londinium. In just one generation, we, from top to bottom, will all be true Londinium people.

But because of you, because of your evil words and misleading people, the Shihuaiya family gave up all the property in Londinium.

This is the land that was not abandoned even when the master left Longmen. Because of you, our dreams are over. Tell me, should you die?

After hearing what he said, Suixiang was speechless for a moment.

Just because of this?

Just because he was a Londinium man, he killed his master and his master's guests?

This sounded so absurd that it made Suixiang laugh out of anger.

After all, aren't servants of a noble in Londinium, a noble in Hill County, or a noble in Godottin County still servants?

She didn't understand if it made any difference.

Even if he left the Shihuaiya family and found a new job in Londinium, it would not be a problem to choose to leave now.

As far as Cuixiang knew, the Shi Huaiya family seemed to have given quite a bit of severance pay to the servants who left the family.

That amount of money meant that the other party would not have to worry about funds for at least a year even if he lived in the high-end consumption of Londinium.

Finding a new job within a year shouldn't be difficult for a butler like this who came from another noble family.

But he gave up all of this and insisted on making this most extreme choice.

Before the fire, she was still wondering who was behind this series of movements and what conspiracy was behind it. Now it seems that she was just overthinking.

"Just for this? For a ridiculous identity of a Londinium?" Suixiang said that she was very annoyed now, and her anger was about to reach the limit of explosion.

"Ridiculous? Yes, you are a friend of the master's big shot, an unattainable big shot sitting in the clouds. Naturally, you think it's ridiculous that we, who live at the bottom of society, work so hard all our lives just for a status that you can easily obtain.

But this is all we have, all we have!"

The old man roared and shot at Suika with a crossbow.

"Then be buried here with everything you have!"

Cuixiang's eyes were cold at this moment, and she didn't want to say another word to the guy in front of her. After all, people with different beliefs cannot work together.

She couldn't understand why the other party would kill for the identity of a Londinium person, and the other party couldn't understand why she and Alyssa made this decision.

After saying that, Suixiang suddenly rushed in front of the butler.

She was seen floating in the air, grabbing the other person's head and pressing it hard to the ground. Then a huge suction force came from the surroundings. The dust that had just been burned by the flames, including various stones and the people standing there, began to be pushed by a powerful suction force towards the direction of Suika's hand.

Chapter 166: Aftermath

Ten seconds later, Suika held up a small mountain and threw it to the ground.

The dull sound accompanied by vibrations made everyone around panic, but their vision was blocked by the darkness and they had no idea what was happening. They could only hide under the bed and pray that the danger would not affect them.

When the city guards arrived, they found a small hill more than 20 meters high standing abruptly in front of the burnt open space.

Meanwhile, Matt's family and Suika had already left in the escape vehicle prepared by the housekeeper.

“We have a small manor ten kilometers away, which is also a transit station for the Shi Huaiya family. Lentinim is closed at this time.

I can only rest there for one night, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow!"

Matt had a lot of questions, but he glanced in the rearview mirror at his wife and children who were still in a panic, and knew that the car was not a good place to chat, so he didn't ask what had just happened outside.

Soon the vehicle arrived at the transfer station. After settling his family, Matt took Suika to the study.

Suika told him everything she had learned since coming to Londinium.

After hearing this, Matt stood up and bowed to Suika.

"This matter is a problem of Shi Huaiya's family. It happened because we didn't know the people well.

Leave this matter to me from now on..."

After that, he opened the suitcase that he carried with him even immediately, took out a bank card from it and handed it to Suixiang respectfully.

"This is my small token of gratitude. If you hadn't been here today, I'm afraid my family would have been murdered."

Knowing that everyone in Shi Huaiya's family was wealthy and that she really needed the money, Cuixiang accepted it without refusing.

“Then there’s your accommodation. I originally arranged for you to stay at the River Valley Inn. Although this hotel may sound unremarkable, it is a membership-based hotel. Ordinary people cannot enter. It is considered one of the high-end hotels in Londinium.

When we get back to the city tomorrow, I'll personally take you to the hotel to check in."

After hearing what Matt said, Suixiang nodded with satisfaction. She had already ordered the hotel twice, and anyone with a normal mind would definitely understand it, not to mention the shrewd person in front of her from Shi Huaiya's family.

From their previous contact, she also discovered that this man was not as arrogant and domineering as he appeared. It seemed that he was deliberately maintaining a certain persona.

After all, if he was really a proud rooster, he would not have been so calm when he evacuated, and his decision would not have been so decisive.

"Those thieves..." Matt then asked some questions that he still had doubts about.

"Don't worry, they are all buried under that hill. Not a single one is left behind."

Suika said that this was her first time using [Togakushi Mountain Throw].

Although the effect of this spell is to absorb the surrounding non-living things and gather them into a "mountain", people should not be able to be captured.

But Suika found a trick. I couldn't grab people, but I could grab their clothes and hair.

These all fall within the scope of judgment for non-living things, and the sudden attack left those people completely unable to react.

By the time they wanted to escape, it was too late. A huge amount of ash and stones buried them directly inside. Coupled with the vibration caused by being dropped from the air, Suixiang was merciful and did not let them suffer more. Instead, they all died in this blow.
