Hello, Arknights

Chapter 250 Injury, Girl, and Hesitation

"Stormeye, why were you so tough just now..." Ling Dengxian asked quietly beside him. The latter looked at him and shook his head: "She is very strong. I can't stop her alone. It's two different things with you and without you. You are the one who can be trusted."

Ling Dengxian then realized that they were indeed on guard against accidents.

Feng Di did not come with him and was reading Ling Dengxian's diary in his dormitory.

"We're here." Stormeye said goodbye immediately. "I wanted to talk more, but the report room said there were some details that they wanted me to confirm. See you at the next reception."

"Ah, add a contact method." Ling Dengxian wanted to take out the communication terminal.

"Yes, look carefully." The man waved his hand, and his receding figure was like a page of a book with the halo of time.

When he was present, Ling Dengxian's thoughts seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, as if they were overlapping with a certain "image" in their eyes, which even he himself could feel.

And it's not just Stormeye, Ace and many other elite operators that give him the same feeling, a vague sense of familiarity.

To make a vague analogy, he is like a photo that can be pieced together into the missing corner of an album.

"Bai Ge, you can go now. I want to talk to the visitor alone." Kal'tsit's voice came clearly from inside the door. Ling Dengxian was a little puzzled. Even the elite operators had to be cautious when facing Zi. Was Kal'tsit a little too careless?

"Director Kai? Don't you need me to be there?"

"Go get busy, or take a good rest. You haven't been quiet today." Kal'tsit's voice didn't sound unusual, as if she thought there was nothing wrong.

"I'd better wait together for a while..."

"White Dove, you still have half an hour to lift the bridge."

"Goodbye, Zi, remember to come to my dormitory to find me when you're done with your work." Ling Dengxian ran away decisively.

Zi glanced at his back, and although he didn't turn back, he still nodded slightly.

Then she opened the door, also curious about what kind of person the leader of Rhodes Island was.

Ling Dengxian, who was leaving at the other end, hesitated for a moment and thought about whether he should go back immediately.

"If I go to see Provence today... I can go to training with Dizi tomorrow after I finish my work with Yaye."

Ling thought about it and headed towards the west district of Rhode Island.

Although he had not been there before and there was a risk of getting lost, he should be able to get the general direction right.

"West District, Bai Ge, you've gone the wrong way. This is the direction heading south. You have to take the corridor over there for the West District." He asked for directions when he ran into the ghost man he met at the cocktail party. Fortunately, it was not too late.

"By the way, Brother Baige, what was you doing in the West District dormitory?" Heijiao asked curiously.

"Looking for someone... There is someone I knew on the island before. I heard she is sick, so I went to visit her."

"Oh, why don't you wait for me? I heard some noise in the upper area and I just finished my work and planned to go see what was going on. I'll go with you later." Heijiao said cheerfully.

"Thank you very much!" Ling Dengxian had given up refuting his own sense of direction. This was a fact that many real-life results had told him, and refusing to admit it would only lead to worse consequences at some point.

He doesn't want to regret it one day.

But Ling Dengxian suddenly realized that the upper area was the training ground... "Ah... Brother Hei Jiao, that is the training ground. It has something to do with me. It's okay now..."

"Oh, can I ask what the situation is?" Heijiao obviously didn't expect it to be related to this person.

"Actually, we were just joking, but we got a little carried away and didn't measure our strength carefully, so... we made the repair of the training ground a little more difficult." Ling Dengxian laughed dryly.

"Can I ask what the specific situation is?" Heijiao was very curious.

"It's just the training ground. I had a sparring match with my friends... and colleagues. The noise was a little bit loud." Ling Dengxian couldn't help but look away, but his gaze met another pair of purple gazes.

"..."

"..."

"That doesn't sound like it's going to end well..." Heijiao didn't realize there was an extra gaze at first, and only looked back when he saw Ling Dengxian's expression change.

The red-haired girl looked over here silently. Ling Dengxian could feel her resentment even from a distance.

"...Good evening, Ms. Sulter."

"Not so good. Could you please stay away from me? Thank you." Sartel said unhappily. After all, anyone who arrives at a new place to work and is burdened with debts right after arriving would be in a bad mood.

Although she was brought here by someone else, and although she was not asked to pay all the repair costs, it was true that she was not in a good mood.

"Okay, no problem!" Ling Dengxian immediately shrank behind Heijiao.

"...Boring. I thought you would be tougher." Seeing him give in, Surtel became even more unhappy. He walked past the two men with the fiery red sword on his back. Seeing Black Horn looking at him, he nodded as a greeting.

"Brother Baige, what is the relationship between you two..." Heijiao just felt embarrassed and asked curiously again.

"Do you believe me when I say I only met her once..."

"Hey," S'lter, who had just walked over, took two steps back and frowned, "So can you agree to fight me?"

...No, big sister, do you want to reflect on whether the previous and subsequent topics can be connected?

"Why……"

"I don't have to be so annoying, it's just... you are the only one who gives me a special feeling."

"If you really want to... add a contact method." Ling Dengxian poked his head out from behind Heijiao and held up the communication terminal.

"...I hope I'm not wrong." Surtel felt a little uncomfortable with his performance. She would rather Bai Ge directly refuse her, give up, and then think of other ways. She always felt that there was no point in communicating with him.

But... he was the only one who made her feel "weak" when she saw him swinging his sword. Thinking of her own chaotic memory, Surtel would try to explore every possibility that could allow her to find some clues from the past.

Feeling weak is a very disturbing thing. When Lewontin is in her hands, Surtel will not feel powerless when facing most people. Even at the moment when his Originium skills emerged, she found that Lewontin trembled violently.

She knew that this long sword had a great connection with herself, and it was also the foundation for her to travel the earth in the future to find memories and ensure her safety. Moreover, Lewontin had his own emotions. Surtel knew that when facing all kinds of enemies, she could feel Lewontin's attitude of contempt or impatience, but she had never felt the emotion of "fear" from Lewontin.

Lewontin's...retreat made her a little hesitant about her decision to approach Bai Ge.

But the disorganized memories and clueless clues made Surtel feel powerless.

So even though there were risks, she decided to give it a try because of Rhodes Island.

Yes, although she was in debt as soon as she arrived on the island, she had seen Rhodes Island's attitude and treatment towards her. One thing at a time, she admitted that Rhodes Island was a good place.

Carefully typing the contact number into Baige's communication terminal digit by digit, Sulter stuffed the terminal back into his hands and warned him with his eyes not to be perfunctory when he was contacted later.

“Brother Baige, your way of socializing is so unique…” Heijiao felt that the newcomer was really interesting.

Only with more new people like this joining, Rhodes Island will become more and more vibrant.

"After all, you always meet all kinds of friends when you go out..." Ling Dengxian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she really left, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Well, it's a good thing to make friends. Where are your friends?" Heijiao smiled and it was time to go find someone.

"West District 426, Provence, the Messenger of the Scourge."

426 Dormitory.

The lavender-haired girl Rupert put away the natural disaster data that she had processed last night, then put some fresh violet-like flowers in a vase, tidied the room, and then sat down at the desk to take a short rest.

"I'm really reluctant to leave... After all, this long journey will take quite a long time." The girl's eyes looked a little unusual, unusually gentle.

She stood up as if relieved and took out two bottles of liquid from the drawer, one was wine and the other was in a brown bottle that didn't look like a drink.

The girl seemed to be in a bad state of mind. She was in a daze for a long time. It took her a long time to pull her consciousness back to reality, covering her head. She was about to open the bottle of wine with a wry smile, but found that she had forgotten to prepare the bottle opener. She rummaged through the drawers and the table aimlessly, and her elbow hit the information and almost overturned the article on natural disasters that she had worked so hard to edit. When she saw that the information and the article were still good, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that her hands were shaking.

"…Scared, so it's really scary…"

Rupert's eyes suddenly turned red, but he held back his tears. His thoughts surged violently, and pain took over his mind again. The figure busy in the kitchen was so ordinary. He was just someone they had contacted on the grassland, he was just rescued once, and he just had a glimmer of hope... Why did he end up in a vortex of pain?

…It’s like being deprived of the right to develop feelings.

When she came to her senses from the pain, she had already pried off the cap of the wine bottle with her shaking and bleeding fingers. The bitter taste of wine filled her mouth, and there was a crack on the glass bottle mouth because she had used too much force.

The blood from her bitten lips mixed with the wine in her mouth that she couldn't swallow. The strange taste made her sober up a little and her eyes became clear again.

"I can't hold on any longer..."

She hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to leave the choice to her most instinctive self. She tilted her head back and drank the highly concentrated liquor in one gulp. The liquid overflowed from the corners of her mouth, slid down her smooth neck, and flowed into her collar. The thin clothes seemed to be shattered at the touch, just like her spirit.

She could drink quite a bit, but she chose a drink with a higher alcohol content than usual, and she drank it very quickly. Coupled with her weak spirit, she soon felt dazed.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

There seemed to be a sound... Was it a knock on the door? The girl felt a headache, a severe one.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Should I open the door... It's a bit strenuous. I don't want to move anymore. Medicine... Yes, do you want to drink it...

"...right...corner...didn't go out...work...no...break the door?"

"Ah? This...can't work...grapes?"

Boom! ! An urgent and dull knocking sound shook the door. The girl's nose twitched, and she smelled a familiar smell in the smell of wine... and a little... a smell that made her feel trance.

"Forget it... I'm in trouble... Sir, please let... me do it!"

A clear and bright sword chant pierced through the space and also pierced through the memory. In the flashing white light, she saw the figure that was gradually overlapping with the source of the vortex of pain. Tears finally welled up in her red eyes.

Provence's crying struck Ling Dengxian's heart. He remembered that she used to be a strong girl.

He should... take his "danger" seriously.

Heijiao was shocked when he saw the situation in the room, and quickly contacted the medical department for help. The lavender black wolf that had broken through the control and rushed into the dormitory area was also anxious to get into the door, but the opening cut by Ling Dengxian was not big enough. Mr. Grape got anxious and used brute force to tear open a passage big enough for him to pass through. Ling Dengxian followed closely behind him. Heijiao explained the current situation to the Caprini woman who followed closely behind. After a few words, the sword flashed, the door frame cracked and the passage expanded. Ling Dengxian rushed out holding the somewhat weak Provence.
