Hello, Arknights

Chapter 113 The Secret of the Rain

Did that bastard forget about me again?

The blue-black little figure rolled around on Ling Dengxian's bed bored. One should be thankful that Chi Yu didn't shed much hair.

Chi Yu felt so bored staying in the mobile city...but there was nothing he could do——

I have to accompany him all the way to Rhodes Island before I can leave, otherwise things will be a mess when I go back.

This is the most important thing.

Chi Yu stretched himself comfortably and jumped out of bed. He suddenly remembered the strange mercenary he and Ling Dengxian met that day. That guy had been following him, keeping a distance, and only stopped when they reached Longmen...

She thought about it and decided to go out for a walk since she was free anyway.

She jumped onto the windowsill and looked around. It seemed that there was no one below the fourth floor, and there were no electronic cameras either. She stretched her waist lightly and jumped down. At the last moment before landing, she enlarged her body and landed lightly to release the force, silently.

However, just as she shook her ears and prepared to shrink her size, she was stopped.

"Hey! I wanted to ask you before, why did you appear in my territory? You don't seem to be among the wolf cubs in Syracuse."

The emperor wore sunglasses, crossed his arms, and had a hint of confusion on his face, but he didn't seem to care much.

Chi Yu was caught, she was a little embarrassed, but it was okay, it was normal for the emperor to notice her abnormality.

But unfortunately she can't speak now.

Seeing Chi Yu shaking his head and shrinking his body until his eyes were level with his own, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then looked around the black wolf: "It seems that you are different from us? How come you are no different from ordinary black wolves except for this strange aura and strange abilities? Of course, you are much smarter than those brainless beasts, including those naive wolf cubs in Syracuse."

"You're not the beast master?"

Hearing this, Chi Yu nodded, but then she felt that it would be really troublesome if she was discovered by someone of a higher level. It was not that she could not speak, but her body only had one chance.

"That's really rare... It seems that the boy is not simple either, so I'll take special care of him." The emperor didn't mind at all. Although this black wolf was special, it was good that they could communicate.

"Since you are not causing any trouble and you are here, I will protect you. Don't be afraid if something happens. But you seem to have your own ideas. As long as you pay attention to the limits, I will not interfere with you. Even so, a certain old dragon invited me to drink."

Chi Yu didn’t know how clearly a beast master like the Emperor could see her, but her special nature could not be hidden from them.

Chi Yu shook her ears and watched the emperor leave, then chose a less traveled path to track the mark she left on the mercenary.

She relies on more than just her sense of smell.

Soon, she found the target at the place where the conflict broke out between Penguin Logistics and the gangsters yesterday. The other party had no intention of concealing his figure. After discovering that the uninvited guest was a little black wolf, he just raised his eyebrows and showed a little surprise.

He nodded: "I remember you, you were not this young then."

Then he didn't expect the latter to give any reaction, but just raised his fingertips slightly to release a wisp of black mist into the air, and then closed his eyes and felt it.

“He didn’t draw his sword.” Sarkaz shook his head, put on his cloak and stepped into the dark alleys of the slums. His movements were silent and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chi Yu tilted her head. If she remembered correctly, Ling Dengxian had found out that the mercenary's code name seemed to be "Wu".

...It's Anasa. It's easy to recognize by the special halo behind its head, which is different from the fallen angel in Sakta.

The bastard was being targeted again, and he seemed to be a weirdo.

The sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain... Chi Yu looked around and suddenly felt a sense of vigilance from others. In order not to cause any trouble, he quickly slipped away.

"A Sarkaz and a little black wolf... They don't seem to have anything to do with the recent chaos. Just remember them. That Sarkaz is quite powerful. Let the old man keep an eye on him." The pink-haired Zalak girl hid in the darkness and ended her surveillance work.

"Miss... there is still no clue. We don't know anything about that gang. They just said someone paid them to attack Penguin Logistics. Their true identity is just a group of low-level bounty hunters who were temporarily hired."

"How did they get into the dragon gate?"

"...The subordinates are incompetent."

The girl's pink eyes showed no change in emotion: "What happened then?" She knew that her subordinates knew what to do, and the fact that they came to her could only mean that something had happened again.

"This group of bounty hunters left Longmen directly, leaving openly, but... we found some new faces in the slums."

"Keep a close eye on it. If necessary, you can kill first and ask for permission later."

"clear."

She couldn't help but feel worried. To be able to keep Longmen's local underground forces from noticing could only be done by an opponent of equal size. Which force was planning to harm Longmen?

The communication terminal on her waist vibrated slightly and she picked up the call.

"Well, it's me."

"…Which unfinished building? When?"

"This morning, I thought Penguin Logistics had blown up something again."

"…Or Penguin Logistics?"

"I know, I'll take care of it."

She looked up and saw the sky being dragged by the rain. It seemed as if a giant beast was locked in the depths of the bottomless sky, stirring up waves and clouds with its claws and tail.

At Penguin Logistics, Bai Ge and Nian Tianshi returned to normal as soon as they got off the car, which made Croissant feel relieved, otherwise who knows what would happen to the dinner.

Naturally, Angelica went to Texas, and Croissant sat between her and White Dove. What surprised her was that Sora sat on the other side of Texas.

"We became close friends so quickly..."

Hearing Croissant's sigh, Ling Dengxian also smiled: "Ms. Stewardess's personality is indeed very likable."

"Yeah, when she said she wanted to come and see the working environment here and said she might join Penguin Logistics as a partner, both Exia and I were shocked." Croissant said with emotion, "Sora is a new idol who rose to fame in Longmen not long ago, and she has a lot of fans."

"It's not that exaggerated... I'm just quite curious about Penguin Logistics. It just so happens that my company has had contact with Penguin Logistics recently, so I came to see if I can promote activities in this regard." Kong answered generously, and she even showed a shining smile when Ling Dengxian looked at her.

So radiant.

Ling Dengxian responded with a smile. In fact, he could not handle this kind of situation at all because he had no experience.

There were five people in a private room, with a gender ratio of four to one, and he felt a little uneasy.

Where's Chi Yu? Come here and let me rub it to distract you.

"Oh, yes, I have to pack some food for Chi Yu to take back." Ling Dengxian then remembered that there was one more thing: there was still one mouth to feed at home.

This is not a question of whether Chi Yu can teach him a lesson by beating him up. If he can't remember, there's really nothing we can do.

"Who is Chi Yu?" Croissant asked curiously when he heard him talking to himself.

"I brought a little black wolf with me. It's locked up at home. Don't worry, it should be quite well behaved."

At this time, a wolf who had just returned home from the rain rushed into the bathroom and started taking a bath.
