Poseidon in Arknights

"Lady Yuzuki, I've arrived." Eline looked at Yuzuki in front of her.

"You're here." Yuuki looked up at Elinie. "Cute little bird~"

"Ugh~" Eline blushed, looking at Yuzuki who had a smile on her face, "Please don't call me that."

"It's clearly a cute little bird, and it said I could call it that if I liked." Yu Yue had a mischievous smile on her face. After all, who wouldn't want to see the little bird blush and hear it say some arrogant things?

"However~" Yuzuki smiled at the blushing little bird, "If you want me to change my address, then the cute little bird should change her address first, right?"

"After all, I remember saying that you can just call me Yuzuki."

"Well……"

Yu Yue smiled as she watched the little bird's face grow increasingly red. Perhaps it was because dreams are more about the subconscious, but the little bird here seemed exceptionally easy to amuse.

With a little teasing, you can immediately get a little bird that's about to turn into a steam engine!

"Hmm~" The little bird's face turned even redder, and she looked at Yuzuki with a flushed face, "Miss Yuzuki... Miss Yuzuki."

"You haven't completely changed your way of addressing me yet. Oh well, it's fine this way too." Xi Yue nodded, then put her hand to her mouth and pretended to cough twice, "cough cough."

"So let's begin our lesson today."

--------------

"Alright, that's enough for today." Xi Yue nodded. "Also, there's something else I need to ask you today."

"Please tell me, Lady Yuzuki, I will definitely do it."

"Alright, then change your address for me first." Yu Yue looked speechlessly at Eline, who had gone back to her original address without her noticing. "Is changing your address that hard?"

"Well……"

With a smile, Yu Yue patted the head of Aline, whose face was flushed, and said, "Help me investigate three people."

“Sure,” Elena nodded immediately. “What kind of people are they?”

“They are from the Deep Sea Church.” Yuuki described the situation of Amaya and the other two to Elena.

Although Ghost Shark said to leave them to her, that he would use them as her prey, and that the process of hunting and searching would be part of her enjoyment, and that Yuuki should not help her, but...

The thought of the Originium solution filling the spinal cord behind Ghost Shark filled Yuuki with rage. There was no way to let those who had committed such crimes continue their actions.

“Saltwind City?” Elena nodded, but then remembered that she was still on the front line. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to go there to help you find it recently.”

"It's okay, as long as we find them, it's fine if we don't. After all, Specter said she would enjoy the process of searching and hunting them down."

"That?" Elena looked at Yuuki. "Why not let the Sea Seers go and find them?"

Yuuki patted Eline's head: "First of all, this would easily cause a stress reaction from the Iberian authorities if the Sea Heirs came ashore, so it's best to avoid it if possible. Secondly..."

“The Sealings don’t quite understand human names or how to find them, so there’s no way to help them.” Yuuki scratched her head. Of course, she had thought that it would be easier to find them through the Sealings, but the problem was that when Yuuki went to communicate with the Sealings and ask them for help,…

But the Hais didn't understand what the word Quintus could represent, let alone how to use it to find that specific person.

“I understand.” Elena nodded. “I can report them through the authorities. We don’t mind having three more people like that in jail.”

“No, it doesn’t need to go through the Iberian authorities.” Yuzuki’s face curled into a cold smile. “You just need to find them, without alerting them, and then tell the surrounding Hai Si that I have already told them what to do.”

"I understand, Lady Yuzuki."

Chapter 67: As Deep as the Sea

"Sigh, there are so many people." Yuuki was pushed around speechlessly, and finally looked at the others who also looked speechless. "Shouldn't we have come with Sora?"

"It's too late to say that now, Yuuki!" Exusiai said indignantly. "Come on, help me out!"

"I suggested it before." Croissant, who has the greatest apparent power among the group, is actually the one who is the most relaxed right now. At least she can steadily maintain her position while making steady progress.

"Even if there aren't any empty trains coming, we should still come earlier so it won't be so crowded."

Texas, feeling utterly helpless from being squeezed, sighed: "Is it possible that we arrived almost two hours early, Croissant?"

"This also shows that Sora is still quite popular~" Yuzuki smiled and touched Hong, who had been hiding in her arms from the beginning.

-----------

"Second row, here," Exusiai waved her arms and reported to the people in front.

"That's strange, the second row is in here. I saw there were several rows ahead." Yuzuki squeezed through the crowd to get next to Exusiai.

"Who knows?" Texas also squeezed through the crowd and came over.

"That's part of the camera position down there, hehe, you two really don't come to concerts." Croissant laughed as she looked at the two who had squeezed back in.

Then Croissant turned her head and pointed to the other positions, "Those are also camera positions. This is the close-up camera position, so this is the second row."

"Alright, you five, stop blocking other people's way! Our seats are here!" Excited, Exusiai quickly found the seats on the empty tickets given to them.

I'm coming.

----------

dark alley

"Trying to snag a ticket? That's easy, no warning at all." One of the thugs waved his baseball bat, looking at the man lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

The thug searched the man, took the ticket, handed it to him, and turned to look at the timid figure around the corner.

"Alright, stop hiding. Oh, here's the ticket. As long as you complete what we asked you to do, all the debts you owe us will be wiped clean."

The thug watched as the man walked over and shoved the ticket into his trembling hand: "Not only that, Qi Bai, we'll also provide you with all the painkillers you need for your Oripathy attacks in the future. But don't let us down. I think you understand what we mean, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Qi Bai nodded repeatedly, then looked at the thugs in front of him, "Then how do I leave after I throw the bomb?"

The thug looked at the fool in front of him and chuckled inwardly. Did he really think he could leave from there? But in order to keep him calm, the thug patted the wall next to him and said, "After you come out, just go to this alley. I'll wait for you here."

'As long as you can get out.'

—————Concert Venue—————

"Oh, it's about to start." Exusiai looked at the stage where the lights had been turned off.

"Hi everyone, good afternoon!! I'm Sora from MSR, everyone's idol~"

Dressed in a gorgeous performance costume, Kong hopped and skipped from the side of the stage to the center like a little elf, full of energy, and her words were full of vitality.

A simple opening line sent the fans in the concert into a frenzy, shouting and waving their glow sticks.

"Oh, everyone is so enthusiastic." Yuzuki smiled as she looked at the relaxed and lively atmosphere around her.

"Right?" Exusiai smiled. "Sora is quite a well-known idol, you know."

“That’s true.” Xi Yue smiled, looked around, and stood up as well, waving her glow stick.

In the last few rows of the concert hall, a nervous-looking man kept touching something under his robe.

He was the guy the thugs had brought in, and the thing he kept touching was the bomb that the thugs had given them.

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, think about your debt." Qi Bai tried hard to keep his breathing steady so that others wouldn't notice his nervousness.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just need to sneak up and throw the bomb. After I throw the bomb, I'll run away. They'll be waiting for me there."

The beautiful singing had already begun on stage, but Qi Bai was no longer paying attention to it; his gaze was fixed entirely on Kong, who was dancing gracefully on the stage.

His eyes, however, did not hold the affection or love that other fans saw, but rather pure murderous intent.

As long as I listen to their plan and complete their tasks properly, I won't have to worry about the torment of Oripathy anymore, nor about my debts, nor will I have to be beaten by those gangsters every day for not being able to repay them.

—————Slums—————

"Hey, Rat, are you sure your plan will work?" Fang looked at the rat drinking tea beside him. "So relaxed, aren't you afraid that guy will give up at the last minute?"

"So, didn't I tell you to find one of the guys in our gang who's been persecuted the most by us to do this?" Rat smiled and looked at Fang.

"And if it doesn't work this time, we can always find another opportunity." The mouse took another sip of tea. "Penguin Logistics delivers goods in groups, so there are plenty of opportunities. And if he really dares to give up, wouldn't it be good to use him as a role model for others?"

“But this time it’s a good opportunity.” The mouse put down its teacup. “Doesn’t that doctor like saving people? She probably won’t give up on saving her companion, as long as she doesn’t continue to participate in the free clinic.”

"Of course, that's on the premise of getting that doctor to leave the medical field willingly. Black Hat, I think you've already arranged the other bombs, right?"

“Of course, there are 80 in total. Let’s distribute them all. Here are the remote controls, 20 for each person. Is that alright?” The man in the black hat grinned and took out three remote controls from his pocket, handing them to the other three.

"Now let's look forward to that friend's performance."

—————Concert—————

On stage, Kong Youmei's beautiful singing had ended, and cheers erupted from the audience. Everyone stood up and waved their glow sticks.

Against the backdrop of the dim lighting in the venue, the glow sticks below the stage appeared like waves, one after another, flashing and dazzling.

Some audience members couldn't contain their excitement and pushed their way to the front of the stage while waving their glow sticks. The bodyguards below the stage were prepared and formed a human wall to stop the excited fans.

"What a beautiful voice!" Yuzuki smiled as she looked at Sora on the stage. "Sora will definitely become a big star someday."

Holding a microphone, the person on stage called out to the audience, "Thank you all for your support, but please return to your seats. There might be some trouble if you're not in your seats for the next segment."

With just one sentence, the audience members who had excitedly left their seats stepped back slightly and stopped trying to squeeze in.

"You're quite adept at handling this." Yu Yue stood up and looked at the retreating fans, her expression instantly turning cold.

-----------

"So what's next..." Kong looked at the fans who were gradually retreating.

Fortunately, there had been similar situations before, so Kong handled it quite well. The next segment was simply a lucky audience member being drawn to come on stage for an interaction.

Although you draw a seat number, the seat number is on the ticket, so as long as you have the ticket, you can be sure that you are sitting in that seat.

Just then, Sora saw someone throw something at her. Sora initially thought it was a gift that a fan had tried to throw at her before.

But when Sora finally saw what was flying towards him, he discovered that it wasn't a gift from a fan full of affection, but a bomb flashing red light.

The bomb detonated instantly upon landing, kicking up a cloud of gray smoke on the stage. Kong helplessly covered her face with her hands; at such close range, even with her excellent physical condition, she couldn't have avoided it.

However, Kong did not feel pain or burning; instead, she felt a cool sensation and as if she were leaning against someone's chest.

Sora opened her eyes and found that it was Yuuki embracing her. The cool sensation around her was due to the barrier formed by Yuuki's water.

When Sora looked up, what she saw was not the usual smile on Yuzuki's face, but a chilling coldness like frost. The surrounding water was also devoid of its usual gentleness, giving Sora a suffocating feeling as if she were facing an abyss.

With a cold expression, Xi Yue looked at the audience below the stage who had not yet reacted. With a thought, the surrounding water flowed out in all directions, the waves surged, and the dark blue replaced the bright colors on the stage.

The sound of waves, like a dream, filled the ears of all the audience members. They looked up at the stage, where the floating bubbles and the reflected lights made the venue look like a dream.

"It's all up to you now, Sora." Yuzuki casually patted Sora's head. She wasn't good at public relations, so this was the only way she could divert the audience's attention.

"Huh? Um, um..." Sora stared blankly at Yuzuki, only remembering what she should be doing when she heard Yuzuki call her. "Th-thank you."
