Hello, Arknights

Chapter 303 Thoughts

"Master Qing Jin..." Bai Jin came to the designated location according to the instructions with scars and dust on his body, but found that the two Qing Jins were there, "The second team lost contact and did not return."

"Hey, you're back alive?" Roy smiled at her, but Bai Jin couldn't feel any warmth in that smile.

"I'm lucky..." Bai Jin wanted to ask what was going on, but the gloomy expression of the blue-haired Filin woman next to her made her swallow back what she wanted to say.

Roy noticed her uneasiness and patted her shoulder with a smile. His smile was somewhat sunny: "Monique met a Sarkaz bounty hunter in Plot Zero. The other party was very skilled and made her suffer a little."

"He just attacked me first." Filin frowned, "I just felt something was wrong. Bai Jin, what happened on your side?"

"...There are at least three different forces involved in this matter, not counting the local infected knights." Bai Jin couldn't help but recall the thrill of the three arrows again, and cold sweat appeared again.

"It's really strange... Normally this place isn't in a prime location. What's going on? How about we go back and ask the boss to consider transferring the store?"

"That's not a funny joke, Roy." Monique glared at him, "If you hadn't refused to come with me today, this wouldn't have happened."

Qing Jin, the most experienced one, smiled apologetically: "Isn't there a reason for this? Everyone has their own mission."

"You? Sitting in a pub drinking and watching TV is carrying out a mission? The mission of increasing the ratings of Cavaleliaki TV station?" Monique said sinisterly.

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas." Roy still had a smiling face. Monique looked at him and finally said nothing more.

"Xiao Baijin, although it was not easy for you to escape death just now...but the special tournament is about to start, and there will be no shortage of tasks. Don't worry, the vacation time will be recorded in the account."

Bai Jin thought that he might have the time to save up for vacation, but not the time to enjoy it.

But she could only nod resignedly: "What do you need me to do?"

"Are the documents I gave you still there?"

"...Xiao Linguang's?" Bai Jin had a premonition about the next task arrangement and subconsciously took a step back.

"I have checked her movements. The Special Championship will be held soon. Knight Yao has no evidence of her behavior. I have given her a commission. Give her a warning. At the same time, make sure that poor Knight Xiaguang cannot enter the Special Championship. Do you understand?"

"...What about you guys?" Bai Jin couldn't help but ask.

"You have no right to ask about our mission. From what I know about you, believe me, you don't want to know, unless... you want to help us?"

"Well...thank you for your concern." Bai Jin shrank her neck, and left silently after getting permission. Until she turned the corner, she could feel those two terrifying gazes sticking to her back.

"...Is what you said true?" Roy stopped laughing and asked casually.

"The Second Squad was once a direct subordinate of Ikaros, so...it's not impossible that they might turn against us." The person kneeling on one knee behind him to report the situation was his direct intelligence collector.

"That is to say... you don't have any definite evidence?" Roy said with a wry smile.

"...I really can't accurately capture the movements of a great leader when he is on guard. Besides, there was indeed no intelligence warning that he is coming..." The member of the Wuzhou Alliance had cold sweat on his forehead and couldn't help but bury his head deeper.

"Roy." Monique reminded him not to go too far.

"Of course I don't doubt Ikaros's appeal to his former team. His way of doing things is different from ours. He has charisma." Roy patted his subordinate on the shoulder. "I don't blame you. Let's go. Have a good rest today. We will be busy in a few days. Now that we know he is likely to come, let's go find him."

"Understood." The members of the No-Hero Alliance retreated immediately as if they had been pardoned, their fear of their superior clearly revealed.

"...Yes, if it was really him, then it wouldn't be surprising, but...how could it be him? He finally escaped, and he is so afraid of death, why would he come back?"

"...the two people who helped him escape are here too," Monique speculated.

"Don't worry about him for now. If he really comes, the Black Iron Lord will keep an eye on him. He didn't have time to take action last time, so he won't be able to get away with it so easily this time." Roy waved his hand, his eyes becoming serious, "The bounty hunter also got involved..."

Monique snorted coldly when she heard this and didn't say anything.

"So... who is the other force that Bai Jin mentioned?"

After a moment, Roy shook his head and smiled again: "It seems that this special tournament will be very interesting..."

"Collect the team."

After leaving Plot Zero, the four people who successfully evacuated after Platinum's retreat quickly found the two Volpers who were ready to pick them up.

"Xiao Shuangye, Xinhuo? Why are you here?" Huang coughed twice. He always felt that something was missing when he saw the two of them. Yes, shouldn't someone be here too?

"The captain asked us to pick you up. Please make sure there is no 'tail' left." Xinhuo answered honestly, and Shuangye nodded, not wanting to say anything more. After all, Ling Dengxian rushed all the way back to the apartment and dragged the two of them out just to help him point out the correct road to the West District. It should be an insignificant detail and it would not have much impact whether it was added or not.

As for Shuang Ye, this made her very unhappy, because he actually dared to lift her up! This made her lose all dignity in front of the younger generation!

"Where is he?" Huang frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Xinhuo didn't know how to answer for a moment. Shuangye sighed and said, "Cleaning up the aftermath, that's what that bastard said."

Ling Dengxian naturally had to put Bai Jin's bow back before she returned home. Yes, he stole Bai Jin's bow and arrow because he was really curious about the feel of them, but he didn't expect to actually use them. At the same time, he was surprised that there were more than one people hiding in the dark.

"We can only wait and see... This is not a good sign." Originally, he thought he only needed to deal with possible pressure from the Casimir officials, but now it seems that the Grand Knight Territory has become a murky pool with many big and small fish hiding in it.

Without the key, Ling could only pay tribute to the legendary bed climber Lappland in Longmen. He climbed into the house through the window, carefully hung the bow back on the wall, and then carefully left the scene.

He had undergone developmental training in archery, and as Xinhuo had said, his level was somewhat different from someone who had only been exposed to this type of weapon for about a year. The ranger who had been commissioned to provide guidance also said that his performance was indeed not normal.

However, he was still more accustomed to using a sword.

"I can't do this next time... because I'll have to make up for it later if I act on impulse."

It also confirmed another thing, that the Platinum he knew was really the Platinum Lord of the Wuzhou Alliance.

After the action was completed, he was still in hesitation. He was about to do something for her, but...

"...Hehe, when will I... be able to recognize myself better?" Although the answer was still unclear, at least he was a little more energetic. Ling Dengxian shook his head and disappeared into the depths of the alley in the cool breeze.

"...Wait, how do we get out here..."

When Bai Jin, exhausted both physically and mentally, returned to the apartment, she could tell at a glance that her bow had been tampered with.

"Why is the direction different from when I hung it before I went out?" Bai Jin took off the bow and found that the string had also been touched.

"...That guy wouldn't have tried it while I was away, would he? How rude..." In fact, she wasn't that angry. After all, if someone had never come into contact with such weapons, they would be curious to some extent. It's human nature and there's nothing wrong with it.

She sighed and just wanted to have a good sleep. She filled the bathtub with hot water, reached out to remove the rubber band that tied her hair, took off her clothes and threw them on the floor, walked into the bathroom naked, dived into the bathtub, buried her white belly, undulating curves, and snow-white shoulders in the hot water, and most of her face was also under the water. In the mist, her frown finally relaxed a little bit, and the white Kuranta got a little rest.

After walking out of the bathroom with her hair wiped with water vapor, Platinum fell back on the wide bedding, but she always felt uneasy as if she was being pricked by needles. She was not surprised at all that the No-Head Alliance knew where she lived, nor was she surprised that her recent interpersonal relationships were being monitored. She was the apprentice of the Platinum Lord, the escaped former Platinum Lord Ikaros, and one of the people most likely to be contacted by him. This just meant that those people still had not given up the hunt for the traitor, which was no big deal to her.

But today, she felt inexplicably irritated, disgusted and disgusted for no reason.

Thinking about it carefully, over and over again, the only variable in her life recently... is that guy.

"That guy... Is it because... you're afraid that he will be implicated?" The figure busy in the kitchen emerged in Xinteleya's mind, and a feeling of irritation rose up.

"...It seems that they just don't want to implicate him." Xinteleya naturally attributed this bad feeling to the Heroless Alliance. She turned on the TV, which was a clichéd love soap opera. She used to like it very much when she was in college, but now she just felt bored.

No matter how deep the love is, can it withstand the wind, frost, rain, snow and natural disasters?

The daily necessities of life, such as rice, oil and salt, are not present in idol dramas, and there will also be no one to block arrows for her.

The longing for the past reflected in her eyes went out when she pressed the remote control. She fell on the bed, rolled up the quilt, and curled up into a ball.

How can I see the way forward...

The girl smiled self-deprecatingly and shuddered.

I lost my freedom and light. Ikaros escaped with great difficulty using his "wings", but in a disguised way he strengthened her cage.

Love...Xintelaiya, the right thing to do is not to drag others into this.

The rental apartment has now been temporarily renamed the Rhode Island Temporary Office.

Nightingale came over and poked Ling Dengxian: "I heard that you are a competitive knight now? Are you still playing in the game next week?"

"I have enough points, so I don't plan to fight... It's not a good thing to get involved too much. If I appear too often, I can't avoid the things of those companies." Ling Dengxian carefully read the information collected by Yedao Hejiao and organized by Texas, rubbed her head, and asked casually: "Why? Are you interested in this?"

"No, Lin Guang is. I'm just surprised that you're involved, Bai Ge."

"…Alas, I can't just turn a blind eye to it."

Ling Dengxian felt as if someone was watching him. He turned around and found that Texas was looking at him. His hand was still on the head of Nightingale, who had his eyes wide open and a confused look on his face.
