Hello, Arknights

Chapter 317: Heart

after dinner.

That day, the discussion on the word "world" ended with Surtel's abnormal behavior. She was a little dazed when she got Ling Dengxian's affirmative answer, but she soon put her worries behind her.

She heard that Lewontin had responded again. She guessed it was related to the word "world", so she took the initiative to ask Ye Dao to go to the library of the Grand Knight to look up information.

After a few days of silence, Texas seemed to have made up his mind and called him out again.

"What's wrong? The doctor and the others are going to be here tomorrow. Is there anything else you want to tell me?" The rooftop was a little cold. Ling Dengxian shrank his neck, still feeling a little sleepy from staying up late last night to write a diary and mission report.

Finally, they planned to hand over the information about the "Information Sea" and the virtual dream reality to Kal'tsit, who knew it best. Therefore, it was his responsibility to do this task and he had to work overtime.

Rupert faced the wind, the morning sun was reluctant to show up in the breeze, she stared at him, although they had been together day and night, but just like he never asked about her past, she also wanted to keep this tacit understanding, after all, not all pasts were so willing to be mentioned.

But... she had a vague feeling that if she just maintained the current distance, the psychological barrier between her and Ling Dengxian would never be overcome as time passed.

Originally, she took a step on the shore of Casimir artificial Lake, and this step was enough, but after that woman appeared, something deeply buried in Ling Dengxian's eyes began to burn again.

Of course she knew that Ling Dengxian was not the kind of person who was greedy for beauty. If he was, she would have discovered it long ago after spending so many days and nights together on the Ursus Icefield.

She had seen that burning and jumping thing in the eyes of many people. It was called obsession.

The girl's questions were accompanied by her mouth opening and closing. The boy's figure froze in the cold wind for a moment, and his eyes quickly flashed through the snow that night and the wind in the wasteland.

Some things are like a fork in a complex river. They are apparently insignificant, but they may lead the river to another ending.

"I thought that based on your personality... you wouldn't ask about my past until I told you about it myself." Ling Dengxian's whisper seemed to show that he had let down all his defenses. In Texas' eyes, his most inappropriate time was when he begged the inner guards to leave in the snowy field. He was rude and stubborn at that time. Now it seems that buried beneath the two is probably a deep layer of... fear.

That was his past.

As for Ling Dengxian, since Texas had already asked, he had no particular taboos and was relieved about A'ran's departure. Her last words before she left had made it very clear that he should not vent his anger on Saria, nor should he indulge in this suffering. She also gave him the task of moving forward.

The actor who played Ju Meng was indeed hurt when he mentioned Tobrand, but Xiran's matter was over, and he would not seek revenge because of this grief, but this does not mean that he will turn a blind eye to the scepter and future actions.

He had lost a loved one because of their experiment, so how could he continue to sit back and watch them create more suffering? He couldn't let the next "A Ran" continue to be born, nor could he let the next "Ling Deng Xian" suffer such unwarranted separation of life and death.

Moreover, this idea was originally implicit, based on personal principles, and was an idea that he came up with unconsciously. If he had never seen the scepter and the people there again after the Ursus incident, perhaps the matter would have been shelved, and they would no longer exist in his life in the future.

However, during this trip to Casimir, the reappearance of the Scepter and the Institute rekindled his obsession. The attitude of the Dream Juren actor is just the tip of the iceberg of this organization, and he knows his situation very well. He is not worried about his own safety. He will naturally fight against the destiny, but he does not want the people around him to be involved without knowing anything.

When Fengpi met him again at Longmen, he confided in Fengshuang and knew about the pain and shared it with him. Mostima was also half a party to the incident and was the first person to listen to him and give him a hand.

Texas was the third one. Even if there was a cognitive gap and it didn't suit her style, she still wanted to get close to her.

He himself didn't know whether their relationship would become closer after today, or whether they would remain tacitly silent.

The silence at this moment was so unsettling that Texas even wondered if his own doubts had been lost in the wind.

He finally continued to speak, telling the story of the child who was originally named "Aran", from the alley in Tobrand, to the coffee shop of the woman in Liberi, and then to...

Finally, the farewell snowstorm arrived.

The wailing little dragon and the smiling princess, the story ends in the silent snowstorm that is gone.

The communication terminal rang at the right time. Ling Dengxian looked down at the message, then looked up and said calmly, "The doctor has taken action in advance again. Be prepared to pick up the doctor tomorrow. Let's go. There is more work to do today."

The distance between the two people, which had once been shortened, seemed to become blurred again.

Ling Dengxian himself didn't understand why it became like this. It wasn't that he hadn't revealed his past to people around him, like Fangdi.

But he felt very uncomfortable now, especially when he heard the faint sneer coming from a certain "system".

Maybe he just felt at a loss about the breaking of the tacit understanding, or maybe he was upset because of the reappearance of the scepter and the thing, and his mentality was also affected.

Texas watched him turn around and leave first, feeling a little overwhelmed. She had never experienced such a situation before.

Did she do something wrong? But he was clearly not angry or disgusted.

Or was it that what she did wrong was not her behavior today, but her overly intimate behavior since coming to Casimir, which made Ling Dengxian feel that she had crossed the line?

For the first time, Texas felt that emotions were very complicated things. In fact, she had never been very good at dealing with people, unlike Mostima who seemed to be quite adept at handling all kinds of interpersonal relationships.

Then I'll ask her for advice the next time we meet. She thought about it and made a decision. She wasn't a person with complicated emotions. She took action, and Ling Dengxian felt uncomfortable. That meant there was something wrong. So she would seek advice from someone who was good at it. It was that simple.

Anyway, we can't just ignore it, no matter it's our own problem or Ling Dengxian's problem.

Texas habitually took out his pocky again, but hesitated for a moment, and finally put it back because he had no appetite.

"Even after the most difficult difficulties have passed, will you still be tripped up by such problems?"

Next, it’s time to finish the work for this Casimir trip. The Doctor is about to arrive, so it should be almost over.

Amidst the ever-changing situation, Cavaleri finally reached the Special Championship.
