Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

According to the time calculation, the full outbreak of war in Londinium would not come until at least four years later.

After returning to the house, Suika contacted Scout and told him the news. Scout was very grateful after hearing it.

As a Sarkaz, he could not obtain intelligence in Londinium City as openly as Suika. He did find traces of Sarkaz mercenaries on the edge of Londinium City, but he did not expect that these mercenaries had already entered the factory area of Londinium.

The information he got from Suixiang made him alert and he acted much more cautiously.

Two days later in the afternoon, just after Suika finished dinner, she received a message from Scout saying that they had found the trace of Viscount Scott.

A while after they asked where Suika was, an old car stopped at the door of the hotel.

After getting on the car, the classic car headed west.

Looking at the familiar scenery on the roadside and then looking up at the familiar twilight, Suixiang's expression became a little strange.

When the car drove onto a burned plain, Scout pointed to a single intact house in the middle and said,

“This place used to be a forest, but it caught fire a few days ago.

The strangest thing is that despite such a big fire, the house was intact.

This also alarmed the military and police in the city of Londinium.

Look, there are still military and police investigating here."

Following Scout's hand, he could see several military police pointing and talking in front of the small hill that Suixiang had created.

"We originally thought that Viscount Scott lived in the city, and our previous investigation direction was also in the city.

But the viscount who helped us find someone said that the cost of living in Londinium was terrible. Even someone like him who had lived in Londinium since his ancestors could only make a living by relying on his ancestral home.

I can't afford a new house at all.

Therefore, it is even less likely that people from outside the country will have the assets to afford a house in Londinium.

Even if he took refuge with a great noble in the city, the final result would be that he would be assigned to a village outside the city.

Then, following this line, combined with what happened here two days ago, we successfully locked onto our target in a small town ten kilometers away."

After hearing what Scout said, Suika was so angry that she wanted to pound the ground with her hands.

The small town ten kilometers away from here... Isn't this the temporary resting place they went to after leaving here that night!

So God had sent that guy to me, but I missed him.

No, there are so many small towns around Londinium, maybe Scout was talking about another one, Suika made up for herself.

When the car stopped, looking at the familiar scenery around her, Suika's heart finally settled down.

That Scott was in this small town, where she rested for the night.

After getting off the bus, she saw that Suika looked unhappy, but Lucille took out a pill from her pocket.

"Are you carsick? I have some motion sickness medicine here. It works quickly. Want one?"

Suika waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it, then looked at Scout

"Over here, come on!"

When they walked to a small house in the town, Scout said

"According to information, that guy is living here now. He has been assigned to a local farm as a financial officer."

"So, I gave up my noble life in Godottin and came to the small town of Londinium to work as a farm treasurer.

Humph, is this his dream? "

Suika sneered at the room that was still lit.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. For a small town with no entertainment life, apart from the sounds of people making noises coming from various places, there were basically no people to be seen on the streets of the town.

Suika looked up at the sky and a smile appeared on her lips.

"It's a dark and windy night!"

Scout knocked on the door first when he got there, and then a fat man opened the door angrily, cursing.

"Who the hell is knocking on the door so late at night? Do you want to die?"

As soon as he opened the door, he saw three unfamiliar figures standing at the door.

Seeing each other's appearance, Suika and Scout smiled at each other, finally finding the real culprit.

"Long time no see, Viscount Scott. The workers who died in the Brenda Mine (the mine that exploded) asked me to say hello to you on their behalf."

As soon as Scout said this, the man's face changed immediately. He wanted to close the door in panic, but Suika easily blocked it with one hand.

At this time, the people in the room also started to make a commotion, and then a flash of a knife passed by the man and slashed towards Suixiang's hand that was blocking the door.

Facing this ferocious blow, Suika calmly pushed lightly, and Viscount Scott flew backwards along with the door, knocking the person behind him onto the stairs, where his life or death was unknown.

The lucky one who was not knocked away had his long knife blocked by Scout with a small dagger.

After being blocked, the man swung his long knife and tried to continue attacking. The scout's other hand shook, and a flying knife instantly appeared at the opponent's neck and pierced his throat.

"Wow, is your last name Li?" Facing this exquisite attack, Suixiang seemed to see a male god with a ramen-haired look.

"Son! I'm going to fight you!" Before Scout could speak, the man inside shouted in grief.

The Viscount, who had just stood up and rushed forward, flew back the next second and hit the man behind him again. Then his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.

"Don't kill him... We have to take him away later. His fate should be decided by the miners who are lucky enough to survive."

Scout held Suika's shoulders, fearing that she would kill the other person in an instant.

Chapter 171: The safe house is an important part

Suika nodded and was about to walk in when she heard a noise in the distance.

The commotion here was quite loud, and naturally attracted the attention of local military and police.

Suika stopped

"I'll leave the inside to you. I'll deal with those outside."

"How about I go? There are too many dead bodies here, which may easily arouse the vigilance of the nobles..." Considering the brutality of Suika's attack, Scout thought it would be better for him to go and lead those soldiers and police away.

Otherwise, if Suixiang really kills all the military and police here, I'm afraid the Victorians will not let it go easily.

Even though Victoria looks like it's rotten, that's only the majority of the upper class. The lower-class people and soldiers still have a strong sense of belonging to this country.

The impact of killing an insignificant noble and killing a team of fully armed soldiers and police is completely different.

After all, it is not uncommon for nobles to fight openly and secretly and hire each other to kill each other in this country. A small noble without actual fiefdom will die if he dies.

But if someone really dares to kill the military and police right under the nose of the capital, I guess a large number of troops around will be on alert.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid!" Suika took out her Ibuki scoop from her waist.

"They've been working so hard out there late at night, so I'm just buying them a drink."

Before the soldiers and policemen who were approaching could react, they heard a girl's voice.

"Since you're here, let's have a drink..."

In the end, the only thing left in their consciousness was the huge wine glass that appeared in front of them.

After knocking down all the soldiers and policemen, Suixiang walked slowly to the front door and looked inside.

"Hurry up! If you can't get anything out of me, take them away first. We'll have plenty of time to ask questions on the way..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Scout lift off the viscount's fingernail without changing his expression.

She even grinned and turned her head away. The noise was so painful.

"Ahhhh! I said, I said..."

Suika's arrival indicates that the people outside have been "dealt with" by her.

The Viscount's last hope of being rescued was shattered. At this moment, he was in great pain and his tears and snot were mixed together.

If he were an ordinary mercenary or killer, he might choose to hold on a little longer, but after seeing that it was the Sarkaz who came looking for him, he no longer had any thoughts at all.

It is well known that once the Sarkaz mercenaries choose to take action, they rarely fail, and death is the easiest outcome for those who fall into the hands of the Sarkaz.

He now only hopes that donating his property will allow him to die more peacefully.

Turning around, Suixiang saw a middle-aged woman trapped in the stairs facing the gate, holding a crossbow in her hand.

Just now, when Suika suddenly attacked, she was standing behind the Viscount and took almost all of the shockwave for him. In addition, the Viscount himself was heavy, so she was knocked directly into the stairs. A piece of wood chip pierced her heart. She opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe that she was dead there.

Soon, Scout got the information about all the money from the man, knocked him out and walked over to Suika and Krusil.

“There’s good news and bad news.

The good news is that this guy hasn't had time to hire someone to go to Godottin to sell his fixed assets, so these things are still here.

The bad news is that all his remaining money is in Londinium's private bank, and getting it out is a bit of a hassle."

"How can this be bad news? Give me your bank card and password, and I'll go to Londinium to withdraw it for you tomorrow morning." Suika said she was not stressed at all. As long as she had the card and password, it was something she could easily do. How could this be bad news?

"But what if he is wrong?" Kluchil was a little worried.

“That’s even easier. Take him outside the city to a place with good signal during the day, and I’ll go get the money.

It would be best if he were telling the truth, but if he were telling a lie, I believe you can make him tell the truth!"

Suika looked at Scout.

Scout nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this to you."

After the group left, no one around dared to open the door to see what was going on.

The reason, of course, was that Viscount Keister's screams just now were too miserable.

At this time, people in the surrounding houses were whispering and cursing the local military and police for not coming to check on the situation for such a long time. They were all parasites who lived off the taxpayers' money.

But they didn't know that not far outside their house, the soldiers and policemen they were cursing were sleeping soundly at this moment.

On the way to leave with Viscount Scott, Suika glanced at the unconscious man who was looking at Scout who was driving and complained:

"His name is Scott and yours is Scout. I think it's so easy to get confused!"

When Suika said this, Kolsil clapped her hands.

"Yes, I told Scout before that this Viscount's name is very similar to his code name."

"Tsk...soon this fat pig won't even have a name." Scout looked a little exasperated when he saw the two of them chatting happily about his name.

Soon the vehicle arrived at a beast shed in a remote mountain village. Scout walked over and pulled and pushed, and a safe house appeared in front of Suixiang.

After a few people entered the safe house, Scout closed the door, and the mountain village fell into silence again, as if no one had ever been there.

"Cool!" After coming in, Suika looked around.

Although it looked empty, there was nothing else except some scattered props and supplies not far away.

But this safe house alone was enough to amaze Suika.

I had only seen this kind of scene in spy movies before, but I never thought that one day I would be able to experience it myself.

"This place is only three kilometers away from Londinium, and there's a signal base station not far away. We'll be waiting for your good news here tomorrow."

While Scout was talking, Suika was looking around, looking very curious.

"What's so good about this place? There's not even a bed to rest on." Lucille picked up the stool and shook off the dust on it, but she was choked by the dust and became covered in dirt.

"It's been a long time since anyone cleaned this place!"

"This is a safe house. If it weren't for this guy, I wouldn't even activate it..." Scout rolled his eyes at Klothir.

Rhodes Island has few safe houses around Londinium, and each one used is one less.

As a place where people can hide safely, this place focuses on concealment and is only equipped with some individual weapons and rations.

Moreover, it has not been used since it was made, so naturally there will be dust inside over time.

Chapter 172: The Unsalvationable

After the group rested in the safe house until dawn, Suika stood up and took the two bank cards handed to her by Klushie.

"I'll leave the money transfer to you. We'll be waiting for you outside the city. If there's any problem, remember to contact us..."

Suika gave an OK sign and walked out from the other side of the safe house.

When I went out, I found that it was still behind a hillside. It was obvious that the person who built this safe house was very attentive. If Scout hadn't brought me here, even the people living here might not know that there was such a hidden safe house next to their house.

After entering the city, I wandered around before I found the location of the private bank.
