Hello, Arknights

Chapter 248 Purple

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. It is also a good choice to take a comprehensive look at the environment you are in from time to time. It can improve his familiarity with the terrain to a certain extent and reduce the possibility of him getting lost.

But Ling Dengxian was a little afraid of heights, and he was a little dazed when he saw the magnificent scenery of the vast land that had just experienced the baptism of heavy rain.

"The bridge of Rhodes Island is so high..."

The test between him and Skadi had to be terminated after the other party blew off a large area of ​​the surface with a sword and damaged a large number of circuits at the same time. Then, Ling and others were in a situation where it was awkward to leave and Skadi squatted on the side to check the damage of the circuits, waiting for the hurried arrival of Ace and other elite operators and Kal'tsit with a sullen face.

Skadi didn't apply for it or make any reports. She thought that "the training ground can still be used" and "it's better than fighting on the deck", so she did it.

Ace, who was watching the "interrogation", felt both amused and helpless when he saw Ling Dengxian fidgeting on the side. He could probably foresee the consequences of how this matter would be handled.

The final result was that Ling Dengxian was not clear about the specific circumstances, but based on the different sword marks, it was determined that his "contribution" was not small, so he was considered jointly liable. He was not fined, but was left on the bridge for an hour as a punishment.

Skadi was responsible for compensating for the subsequent maintenance costs of the training ground, but she had no objection.

"got used to."

"...but why doesn't she have to be hung..." Ling Dengxian was pardoned and could let go of his hands and use the communication terminal to chat with people to pass the time, but in order to ensure his safety, the way he was tied up seemed more complicated.

"She went to help repair the circuit, and... for a reason that cannot be disclosed, hanging her up is not only unrealistic but also very dangerous." The operator who was responsible for sending him up answered his question.

"...Is she reliable?" It's not that Ling Dengxian is too serious. The main reason is that before the person came, Skadi directly reached out and touched the area with the most damaged. Then, she turned back and told him solemnly with anger not to get close because of the leakage of electricity.

"...You won't let go?"

"It's not surprising. I've studied electrician work and I can tell it's leaking electricity. I just verified my judgment to prevent anyone from getting hurt."

"..."

It feels like there's nothing wrong, but it also feels like there's something wrong everywhere.

Anyway, he was now experiencing what it meant to be "it's cold at high altitudes". After all, it was night and quite cold.

The wind blew from time to time, and he was almost numb from his fear of heights. Suddenly, he saw some unnatural traces on the land behind the Rhodes Island. He immediately realized that he could see far away, but at the same time he was so conspicuous that he could naturally be seen by someone who was paying attention to him.

In just a breath, he thought of a rather serious consequence and immediately called Kal'tsit.

"Briefly, the reason why I'm letting you go had to be serious." After the call was connected, it could be heard that Kal'tsit was in a bad mood.

"I have a visitor, let me go and meet him."

"Explain the problem in detail. You will be able to come down in half an hour. Tell me the key point that we cannot delay for these twenty minutes."

“If not explained promptly, visitors can become intruders.”

"Yaye, go help him - Baige, bring the guest over afterwards."

"what will you do?"

"It depends on the attitude of the 'guest.'" Kal'tsit's answer was brief and to the point.

After sneaking through two lines of defense at high speed, facing the inner gate, the purple-haired Rupert confirmed that it could not be cracked. He then pulled out a sharp blade from his wrist and his eyes were cold.

"Ahem, um, can you hear me? Yes, look up, hello, this is the monitoring room of Rhodes Island, I'm the director of the engineering department. Although I'm amazed at your stealth skills, if you hadn't stopped, we wouldn't even have noticed the intrusion.

"Ah, I've said too much. In short, if you stop here and leave or submit an application to board the ship, it won't lead to the worst result."

The purple-haired Rupert had a blank expression on his face, but the surveillance video suddenly went blank. Klushie on the other end was stunned because she couldn't see any movement from her.

"It's over, it's over... Kal'tsit! Are you listening? Kal'tsit! There's a problem with the C4 gate! Someone's invading! I think we'll need two or more elite operators to dispatch!"

"I'm handling it. Don't worry. Operator White Dove has already set off."

“Kal’tsit! I’m talking about an elite operator! Regardless of whether he’s at that level or not, is he trustworthy?!”

"worth."

"No, he—"

"It's worth it, I guarantee it."

"...You'd better be serious...door...new door..."

"what happened?"

"She broke through the gate using physical means! Kal'tsit!"

"…Bai Ge said he would take care of it."

A passage was cut through the gate at the cost of a good knife. Rupert looked at his most skilled weapon, a trace of desolation flashed in his eyes, and then he sneaked again. The next moment, a stinging feeling pierced his brows. Between breaths, counterattacks and attacks broke out at the same time. A bright red figure appeared, and a purple shadow shed a few drops of blood. When he reappeared, he had sharp claw gloves on his hands, and the cloak on his shoulders was torn, so he simply threw away his disguise.

He climbed up the wall with one hand and two feet as if defying gravity, the edges between his red knuckles flashed cold light, a sharp blade was held lightly in his mouth, and his gray eyes were very clean, containing only very pure... murderous intent.

It does not come from hatred or emotion, but from the hunter's natural murderous intent towards his prey after being cruelly trained by the environment.

And the interesting thing is that this time, she is facing the same kind of people.

"...Werewolf hunter?" Zi gently wiped the wound that cut the capillaries on his face, and drops of blood slowly hung down the red cheek opposite, but the latter was completely unaware.

"Kelsey said, invaders, die."

The murderous blade was pressed down section by section by the murderous blade, the means of killing were resolved by the means of killing, and only new life and experience were the variables in this fight.

Red and Purple did not leave any scars anywhere except on each other's bodies. Coldness and blade edge were the only themes. Red gave up his defense to seize the enemy's throat, while Purple retreated to advance. The wind from the blade caused the metal and iron to intersect. The next moment, the cloak that fell on the ground was picked up by someone at some point, and now covered Red's field of vision. Then, the front and back blades tore it to pieces. The hunter who launched a surprise attack failed to hold down his prey, and the prey also paid a price for the counterattack.

Hong pulled away, her shoulder was bleeding, staining her coat, and Zi gently stroked her shoulder. Both the gray eyes and the purple pupils were looking for the first move in the end.

Their similarity is too high, Zi's quality exceeds Hong's guess, and Hong's experience is far beyond Zi's estimation.

But... Zi still has the upper hand.

You know, she hasn't brought Xuanlang in yet.

The voices in the distance gradually became louder, as if it was a countdown. Just before the string was about to break, the fall of a grey blade startled the two men's fighting consciousness. In the face of the sudden change, their first instinct was to distance themselves and respond.

"... Zi, you are a little impulsive." The young man looked at what was in front of him, knowing that this was another big trouble.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think it's wrong. I'm relieved that you're okay. The deal between us is not complete yet."

"Long time no see... This shouldn't be the occasion..." Ling Dengxian covered his face helplessly.
