Poseidon in Arknights

Wei Yanwu nodded. During the discussion, he only drank two glasses of wine. On the way back, he bought a bottle of water to rinse his mouth, so it seems that he didn't leave any taste behind.

"There's still some time before Wen Yue returns, no problem." Wei Yanwu confidently pushed open the door, but sometimes, as the saying goes, things don't always go as planned.

Upon entering the room, which was now brightly lit, two people were still standing inside. One of them was standing behind the sofa, dressed in the attire of a ninja from the Eastern Kingdom.

That was Bai Xue, her wife's bodyguard. Of course, Bai Xue wasn't important at the moment; what mattered was the other person sitting on the sofa.

"Where did you go?" Madam Wenyue asked, looking at Wei Yanwu, whose face had frozen.

"I went for a walk to stretch my muscles." Wei Yanwu, being the leader of Longmen after all, had a very good eye for composure and immediately said in a serious tone, as if he had just gone for a walk.

"Um……"

As Wen Yue's voice faded, Bai Xue, who was standing behind her, took a keyboard from under the sofa and swung it over. The force was just right, and the keyboard slid right to Wei Yanwu's feet.

Judging from his height, if Wei Yanwu were to kneel down on the spot, he might be able to put his knees on the keyboard.

"..." Wei Yanwu looked at the keyboard at his feet, wanting to say something to try and persuade Bai Xue, when he saw Bai Xue slowly raising the durian peel.

Wei Yanwu stepped back to the door. Of course, it wasn't that Wei Yanwu wanted to run away. If he dared to run away today, he wouldn't be able to enter the room for at least the next month.

So he calmly closed the door, made sure it was locked, walked to the keyboard, squatted down, picked it up, found a place where Wen Yue could see it, placed the keyboard down, and then knelt down on it.

Being afraid of your wife isn't shameful at all. A man should always be considerate of his wife.

"What exactly did they go to do?"

"I had a chat with the Emperor and Old Lin!"

Wen Yue nodded and gestured for Bai Xue to put the durian peel down: "What did you talk about?"

Wei Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up when he heard Wen Yue cough. Wei Yanwu then pressed his legs down forcefully.

"Madam, please look at this." Wei Yanwu took out a tablet from behind him, which he had just swiped from the Emperor.

Bai Xue quickly stepped forward, took the tablet from Wei Yanwu, and handed it to Wen Yue.

Wei Yanwu glanced at Bai Xue with resentment. He had originally intended to take this opportunity to sit next to Wen Yue.

He practices martial arts, but that doesn't mean his knees are made of iron. Even if his knees were made of iron, it doesn't mean they don't hurt.

Bai Xue certainly saw Wei Yanwu's look, but she shook her head to indicate that it wasn't her intention, and then Wei Yanwu's eyes cleared up considerably.

“Quite a good kid. What are your thoughts? What did you talk about?” Wen Yue put down the tablet.

"Well, that..."

Wen Yue sighed and waved for Wei Yanwu to get up: "Get up, since you really did go to discuss business."

"Hoo..." Wei Yanwu felt numbness in his legs and feet.

Normally, in such a short time, for a martial artist like him, there would be pain at most, not numbness.

The main reason for his numbness was that he was interrupted by Wen Yue's cough when he tried to stand up by using the donkey to get downhill, and then he pressed his legs down suddenly.

"Is it about the downtown area?"

Wei Yanwu nodded: "The Emperor spearheaded this effort, hoping to leverage this person's prestige and abilities to improve relations between the Upper City and the Lower City. If possible, perhaps we can take this opportunity to have the Guard Bureau move into... the slums."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yue frowned, seemingly displeased: "You want to touch that place? Haven't you always been tight-lipped about it? We still don't know what the snake left there."

"Wen Yue, listen to me, we need to rely on that person's reputation and abilities." Wei Yanwu seemed to emphasize what he had just said.

"...That one? Wait, could it be her?"

Wei Yanwu nodded, raised a finger, and then pointed upwards.

Wen Yue nodded knowingly at Wei Yanwu's actions. If it was them, then her worries were unnecessary.

"If that's the case, then there's certainly no need to worry about it being related to that snake, but what happens after that?"

“She joined the Emperor’s Penguin Logistics… as an employee.” Wei Yanwu’s expression was somewhat strange when he mentioned this.

Wen Yue's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this: "Isn't he worried about trouble? Si Suitai is never easy to talk to when facing them."

"The Great Emperor wouldn't be afraid of trouble, but as for Him... what if He were whole?"

"Complete!"

Wei Yanwu nodded: "If he were whole, he wouldn't be afraid of the Si Suitai causing trouble, because he himself would be the biggest trouble."

Wen Yue nodded, putting the matter aside: "Let's get back to the main topic, what do you plan to do?"

“It’s not convenient for us to get involved. I told the Emperor to find an opportunity for her to meet with Xiao Chen. Knowing Xiao Chen’s personality, she will definitely invite her.”

Wen Yue nodded: "Then what about us?"

“Let’s find someone to be a big mouth. Xiao Chen doesn’t pay much attention to things outside the city, so he probably doesn’t know much about this doctor, and it’s the same in the slums.”

Wen Yue nodded, turned to Bai Xue who had been standing behind her, and said, "Bai Xue, I'll leave this matter in the slums to you."

"Yes!" Bai Xue nodded upon hearing this and immediately slipped out of the window.

After arranging for Bai Xue, Wen Yue turned to Wei Yanwu and said, "As for Xiao Chen, I know someone suitable to speak on his behalf."

"Ah."

Iberian Coastline

"Huff...huff...huff..." Alini gasped for breath, the continuous firing of the hand cannon had almost exhausted her strength, but the results were gratifying.

“Judge, the Sea Heirs have retreated.” A soldier carrying a severed arm walked over.

"Hmm..." Elena looked at the soldier's severed arm and hesitated before saying, "Still nothing?"

The soldier nodded, his tone full of doubt: "Still no, those Sea Legions didn't kill anyone."

It sounds strange; no one died, so why the doubt? Shouldn't we be happy? But this is not due to the bravery of the soldiers or the efforts of the judges.

Fighting means bloodshed, and bloodshed means death—this is the truth of the battlefield. But this truth was shattered in this battle against Hai Si.

Not a single person died. Not a single person died on any front, on any army, or in any squad. It was so bizarre that it was unbelievable.

This also includes the soldier in front of me, whose arm was torn open at the elbow. Such an injury would be tantamount to death on the battlefield if there were no medical personnel around him.

Unexpectedly, as his blood dripped onto the ground, the surrounding ripples suddenly sprang up, enveloping his arm, stopping the bleeding, and relieving his pain.

The one who had just severed his arm, Hai Si, carried away with his severed hand in its mouth, without inflicting any further harm on the soldier.

This was happening across the entire front; the enemy did not kill them, but rather focused on crippling their fighting capacity.

After paralyzing their fighting capacity, they ceased all action, and even things that originally belonged to the enemy were used to help them with medical care.

This situation was so bizarre that it was incomprehensible. The enemy had not killed them, and after defeating them, they were even treated. This was something that had never been thought of on the battlefield.

This was something none of the soldiers had ever imagined. When they arrived at this battlefield, they were prepared to sacrifice themselves for their country, but the bizarre situation on the battlefield surprised them greatly and made them extremely vigilant.

"What exactly happened to this ocean?" Elena turned to face the sea, which was a dark mass with occasional flashes of red—the eyes of some of the sea creatures.

"Judge! We have good news! We've captured a member of the Deep Sea Church!" a soldier's shout suddenly rang out.

Ignoring her physical exhaustion, Elena picked up her lantern and ran towards the other side.

When they arrived, they saw two soldiers pressing down on a man dressed as a member of the Deep Sea Church, forcing him to kneel.

"What exactly happened in this ocean? Why are the sea creatures launching such a massive attack?"

The Deep Sea Cultists gave Elena a strange look: "Attack? No, no, no, they just want to go to the land to welcome back the ocean. They never thought of attacking."

Elene raised her swift sword and asked, "The ocean? What ocean?"

"The ocean is the ocean, the ocean that nurtures countless lives. It is benevolent and selfless, healing all things. It is just, peaceful, and all-encompassing!" The believer's voice gradually changed from calm to fervent.

“Ocean! Ocean! How beautiful, look, you fool.” The cultist suddenly stretched his hand out from his robe, and that hand was holding a dagger.

"This is His mercy!" The cultist raised his dagger, and the soldiers on either side immediately swung their weapons, killing him on the spot.

Splatter! Blood splattered—it was the blood of the Deep Sea Cultists, but it wasn't the soldier or Elena who did it; it was him. His dagger sliced ​​through his own chest, and blood splattered everywhere.

Blood dripped onto the ground, and the surrounding dark ripples absorbed the blood, then suddenly sprang up and enveloped the chest of the Deep Sea Cultist.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Elena looked at the crazed cultist in front of her, waved for the soldiers to take him away, and then turned to look at the distant coastline.

"ocean?"

Penguin Logistics Lobby

"You had so much fun!" Xi Yue shook her head, looking at the mess on the ground.

After discussion, everyone decided to have hot pot. Those who liked spicy food and could handle spicy food would go for the spicy broth, while those who couldn't, such as Kong who wanted to protect his throat, would stick to the clear broth.

Everything was fine until Exusiai suddenly suggested drinking, and what was originally just a normal meal gradually turned into a drinking contest.

Even Red couldn't escape the double urging of Croissant and Exusiai to drink, and passed out after downing two bottles.

In addition, there's Xiyue. As the main protagonist of this banquet, she is naturally the target of the four of them.

Then it turned into another tragedy. First, the most meddlesome Exusiai drank three bottles with Yuuki and declared defeat, lying on the ground groaning, even her aura dimmed a bit.

Then there's Croissant, who claimed to be avenging Exusiai, but after six bottles, she also ended up on the ground.

Then there was Texas, who remained calm. After noticing that Yuuki's cheeks were already flushed, she thought it was about time and decisively stepped forward to have a drinking contest with him.

As for the result, after forcing himself to drink three bottles during the drinking contest, Texas looked at Yuuki, whose face was still flushed.

Texas stood up, intending to leave and end this hopeless drinking contest, but she had only taken two steps when she collapsed headfirst.

As for Sora, she originally didn't plan to participate in the drinking contest, but Yuuki said that since they were going to lie down, they would all lie down together, and Sora was also forced to drink until she passed out.

Looking at the mess on the ground and the people lying haphazardly, Xi Yue let out a burp that reeked of alcohol.

Xi Yue stood up and began to clean up the mess around her, gathering the bottles scattered on the ground together, and cleaning up the bodies of the people lying on the ground.

After finding what appeared to be their pajamas in their respective closets, they changed them and then put them back in their rooms.

After returning to the lobby and confirming that Hong was just asleep, Xiyue carried her to the room that had been arranged for her and then went back to her room to sleep.

In the hall, now dark and silent again, only the piles of empty bottles in the corner and the lingering smell of alcohol in the air testify to the tragedy that once took place here.

In today's match, Penguin Logistics suffered a complete defeat.
