Hello, Arknights

Chapter 282 Today is Lazy Dog’s Birthday (Eat the Title Girl (??ω??)??)

"White dove?"

Nightingale did not return to the dormitory in the end, and was found by Ling Dengxian on the football field as expected. As for how she was found, all we can say is that the White-Faced Owl will refresh where she is needed.

"What did Lin Guang say to you?" Nightingale looked up at him, but didn't ask anything else. After a moment, she looked away angrily, trying to pretend that she didn't care, but she was so deliberate that Ling Dengxian found her cute.

"What does Nightingale think she will say?" Ling Dengxian looked at White-Faced Owl, who sensibly gave up the handle of his wheelchair. He pushed Nightingale onto the runway at the side, and the three of them walked forward as if taking a stroll.

"Maybe it's something like asking you to keep an eye on me and not let anything go wrong." Nightingale answered, turning her head.

Ling Dengxian saw that she was still holding the personnel transfer documents and smiled gently: "Now you are my team member, this is already my responsibility--"

"Guess again."

"...I don't want to guess." Nightingale shook her head, "You can't be asking you to take me to Casimir to find her, right?"

Ling Dengxian silently handed over his communication terminal, on which Kal'tsit's notification appeared:

"White Dove, a high-priority field mission, location Casimir, content: Go to Casimir as a vanguard team to collect intelligence, focusing on infected bases and conflict points with non-infected. The team size is limited to 5 people. Note: This operation is based on the conditions that facilitate the completion of the goal, and free occupation selection is allowed."

Nightingale looked up, and Ling Dengxian nodded: "I am still short of four candidates. Do you want to help me? Liz."

After saying this, Ling Dengxian immediately followed up with an apology. It was the first time he called Nightingale by her real name in person, and he had not yet obtained her consent, which was somewhat offensive.

"As for the advance team... we need operators with agile skills, right?" Nightingale shook her head slightly and gently grasped his hand. This was the second time she had physical contact with him today. "Thank you, White Dove, but please don't bring unnecessary trouble to the mission because of taking care of my feelings. Rhodes Island's cause also needs your support."

Ling Dengxian was still a little worried: "Are you really okay? Not going to Casimir?"

Nightingale finally smiled again: "Of course I will go.

"You are the advance guard, so I will just follow the doctor and the others. When the time comes, you have to take good care of me. You promised Lin Guang and Shining."

Ling Dengxian put away the communication terminal, smiled and rubbed Nightingale's head. Nightingale didn't mind this behavior.

"it is good."

The next day.

In dormitory 417, Ling Xian is taking refuge.

"White Dove! Why didn't you take me with you on the mission?"

"Are you planning on evading your responsibilities? I know you are here, just say a few words!"

Surtur blocked the door as usual. Ling Dengxian would shrink his neck and wait for her to vent for a while. At the same time, he was packing his clothes and luggage. He heard Kal'tsit say that they had to leave as soon as possible.

He found the candidate himself, faster than he expected.

Originally, he wanted to ask Skadi to support him, but when he found Skadi, he learned that the latter had left the ship to perform other tasks. He was a little helpless. It seemed that he had not passed the test of this Agor girl.

Then he tried to find Black Horn, but Black Horn agreed readily: "It just so happens that I am also worried about whether you can complete the intelligence gathering mission in a foreign country, Brother Bai Ge. I will feel more at ease if you can go with me."

Ling Dengxian was very grateful to Heijiao. In fact, Heijiao had given him a lot of help in adapting to work and life. In this regard, he was a more reliable senior than Huang.

"This is my first time going to Casimir... Eh? Wait, Casimir... I don't have to learn Casimir language, do I?!" Ling Dengxian suddenly recalled the fear of being dominated by English/Victorian language.

"Hey, it's okay. Casimir has been expanding its tourism industry in the past two years, and Yanyu is now a popular language. But it seems a bit difficult for them to learn, and not many people choose Yanyu as an elective course in college..."

"What kind of nothing is this..." Ling Dengxian was already panicking and was looking for Casimir's 3500 words.

"It's okay, it's okay. Because of Victoria's strong influence in the west, most of the people in Casimir can understand Victorian, and they speak it, right? Although not many people choose to study Yanyu, there are still quite a few young people in Casimir who can speak Yanyu." Heijiao patted his shoulder vigorously to signal him to relax. After a moment's silence, he made another suggestion, "In order to make the operation go smoothly, how about I call Yedao as well? She and I are both good at gathering intelligence."

"A team of five, of course. Then I have to think about who to look for the remaining two..." Because of Lin Guang Shining's cautiousness, he also knew that this operation should not be a trivial matter, and therefore, he could not pull out his own half-baked team.

"Your team? They will come with the doctor. You are just temporarily assigned the responsibility of the advance team. You should seize the opportunity to get more time to integrate the team, especially since there are new members." Kal'tsit was still busy working when she was consulted and glanced at him.

"But..." Ling Dengxian frowned. He really had no problems, but Frost Leaf Rose obviously still needed training. Was it really appropriate for her to be in such an occasion?

"I know what you're worried about." Kal'tsit put down her pen and looked at him, as if she wanted to see through him. "It's true that our goal is to deal with the infected, but this time Casimir's attitude is too vague. The formal negotiation is about drug transactions, including drugs to suppress mineral disease infection. The problem between the infected and non-infected is getting worse, and it's just public opinion. When they contacted us again, Casimir's senior management didn't mention it, not a word."

"How should we understand it? Is it just a drug deal, or do they want to meet and discuss more? We are the passive party. At least for now, the other party's intention is to do business. We can express our importance and send one or two elite teams, but you can't not send out even an ordinary team, and you can't be fully armed as if you are facing a great enemy. Even if there is no armed conflict, it will affect the direction of the incident."

"We are just a pharmaceutical company, not a military organization like Black Steel International. We don't have the special political orientation of the Integration Movement. We have to be careful with every step."

Ling Dengxian was speechless, and finally nodded: "I will be responsible for the safety of my people."

"Thanks to your protection, Provence's condition has stabilized a lot," Kal'tsit lowered her head and continued to work, "but I don't recommend her to participate in this operation. It's best for her to stay on the island and recuperate. As for candidates, how many more do you need?"

"One, and I have an idea for the other one."

"Will Bagpipes be included in the team that protects the Doctor? Will that affect your selection?"

"Flute... It doesn't matter. I'll bring someone else with me so we can get along better."

"Then I suggest you ask Huang. Although she acts in a rush, she can be a great help when necessary, and she can also do the work of gathering intelligence."

"...She? Collecting intelligence?" Ling Dengxian showed an incredible expression.

"What's wrong? Don't underestimate the elite operators of Rhodes Island. They are just harmless and unrestrained in front of their colleagues."

"No, I think Huang is harmful to humans and animals... In terms of the situation caused by being drunk..."

"Stop playing tricks and learn Casimir's language." Kal'tsit ordered them to leave.

"Isn't it okay to speak Victorian?"

"Some intelligence cannot be obtained only through foreign languages. You can't expect all oppressed infected compatriots to be completely open to outsiders."

"But isn't the time a bit too short..." Ling Dengxian said with a wry smile, "Although it would be easier to apply what you have learned to other areas after learning two foreign languages..."

"Try your best. Also, let me remind you, try not to speak Ursus in Casimir." Kal'tsit advised.

"why?"

"During the Ursus War expansion period, Casimir lost the most land among the countries that suffered the most. Although it has passed, if you look closely, the hatred is not far away."

Thinking back to the present, Texas packed the other half of Baige's luggage and stuffed "Casimir's 40 Most Commonly Used Everyday Expressions and Extensions" into the backpack. He saw him stop and look outside the door to see if the person outside was in a better mood. He then checked the list of items in his mind again to make sure that no necessities were left behind.

There is not much you need to bring, and some of the things you need to bring will need to be purchased based on your budget and actual situation once you get there.

Ling Dengxian mustered up the courage to open the door. Rupert, who was enjoying his free time, turned a deaf ear to the strange noise coming from the door, picked up the newspaper she brought on the table, and noticed an "Anecdote Train" section in the international section.

"… Bloody Alley? A new urban legend?"

The only Victorian urban legends Texas could recall hearing were "the man-eating boiler in the factory" and "the swamp crawlers in the countryside", but "Bloody Alley"...it didn't seem to be of the same style.

Londinium, industrial area, waste pipes, blood-stained alleys...

"Ten missing persons, work badges, family contact numbers..."

Texas realized that this was a marginalized news story, someone wanted to bring it to the public's attention, while others were behind the release, changing the format to make it look like a stunt created by a thriller novelist.

But...what for?

Texas couldn't figure it out, but she felt that this matter was far away in Victoria and should have nothing to do with them.

Before she returned to Longmen, Ling Dengxian found her and hoped that she could join him on this mission.

Texas naturally would not refuse, rather, he was in a good mood.

Especially knowing that the bagpipes weren't together.

Of course, this is just a little bit of girl’s thinking.

Looking at the "battle situation" on Ling Dengxian's side, and seeing that Sartel was comparing his body shape with the volume of his suitcase, Texas sighed and decided that she would have to keep a closer eye on Ling this time.

It's too presumptuous to pick up flowers and leaves every time you go to a new place.

The advance team was in place, the Black Horn Night Blade duo, the White Dove Texas duo, and a big cat looking around, started the locomotive engine towards Casimir.

correct.

There's a Surter hiding in the trunk.
