Ark, after I died, the operators began to love me

Mostima had been to this place before. At that time, she was a messenger. She came and left in a hurry and never stopped to appreciate the city.

Just like what is sung in pop music, some things are only appreciated after they are lost. When the fallen angel began to pay attention to this city, she found that the person who walked the street with her was no longer there.

In her hand, she held a bag of fried stinky tofu. As people of Lateran prefer sweets, they naturally don't like such strong-tasting things. But when she passed by the door of the fried tofu shop, she bought a bag for some unknown reason. When she held it in her hand, she realized that she didn't like it at all.

So who likes to eat?

The sun was still directly overhead, and the weather was bright, but a little rain fell from the clouds, soaking the fallen angel completely.

Her short hair stuck to her forehead because of the dampness. She tightly grasped the stinky tofu in her hand and looked around blankly.

This is the outer ring of Longmen, and it is also a strange place.

I was just close, just a little bit away from grabbing his hand.

The fallen angel closed her eyes, and the heavy heaven and earth pressed down on her like mountains and seas.

Regret, self-blame, and pain are endless.

"Hey, miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The man on the bicycle stopped in front of the fallen angel, took an umbrella from the back seat and opened it to block the tide of raindrops.

Book friends group, update tomorrow morning.

The first one is the book club, 964595869. The question is the name of the protagonist, which should be easy.

This is my third Ark book. The first one, "Arknights: Return to Rhode Island", was completed with 367 million words and 28000 collections. It was published by Qidian Books and had an average subscription of 496 when it was completed. It has been more than a year since it was completed, and the number has increased to 700. It seems that after I left, readers began to love me.

The second book "In Terra, in Jail for Life" has 218 million words and 19000 collections. It is a book by Hedgehog Cat, not bad, 800 average subscriptions.

Now it's the third book. I've seen similar themes in Hedgehog Cat, but most of them were not finished, so I wanted to write one. Anyone has any questions? No problem.

2D, romance, harem, Arknights, there’s nothing wrong with these labels, right?

Let me repeat the group number, 964595869. Welcome to join the group, chat, urge for updates, and provide suggestions.

thank.

21. I think I've seen you somewhere

If you saw an operator in the rain one day, what choice would you make?

Mike asked himself similar questions when he decided to leave Rhode Island, and he found that he simply couldn't bear to do it.

People are all made of flesh and blood. He has never made a deal with the Mirror Master and does not have an emotionless heart of stone.

It was an accident that he ran into Mostima who was at a loss in the rain.

Mike is not a prophet and cannot calculate where the operators will appear, otherwise he would not have confessed to so many people and finally failed.

The fallen angel raised her head, rain mixed with tears sliding down her cheeks, her vision became blurred, she only saw a man facing her.

"Thank you."

Mostima's hoarse voice was heartbreaking.

Mike pretended to be calm and said, "Miss, you will get sick if you get caught in the rain like this."

The fallen angel nodded gently: "I forgot to bring an umbrella when I went out today. I will pay attention next time."

She lost weight.

Her originally round face became pointed and pale, her pretty features became haggard, and her slightly furrowed brows added a bit of melancholy. After being soaked, she looked even more lovable.

Mike thought of a name.

It’s a pity that he can’t say it, otherwise he will be exposed.

Lin Daiyu.

Not many people in this land know Miss Lin, and Mostima happens to be one of them.

When traveling with Mostima in Longmen, Michael told stories about his hometown, and the fallen angel expressed his longing for a world without Originium disasters.

Unfortunately, the final result was not very good, because even without the Originium disaster, the real world was still a mess, with hatred, war, and confrontation between people, which was at least two versions ahead of Terra.

Mike stuffed the umbrella into Mostima's hands and backed away into the rain.

Mike was scared.

Afraid that I can’t be cruel enough, afraid of being rejected again, and sighing at my fate.

He is an evil spirit with extraordinary strategy, a miracle that saved countless infected people from life and death, but he is powerless against the desires in his heart.

Mostima looked blankly at the man who had gone into the rain. The rain also wet his hair, and the gray hair stuck to his forehead. His eyes were complex and contradictory.

What's wrong with this person?

Doesn't he need an umbrella?

"Remember to go back early." Mike's voice was hoarse.

The scene of Mastema rejecting him was still vivid in his mind.

The fallen angel took two steps forward, but Mike had already gotten on his bike, so she quickly asked, "How am I going to return the umbrella to you?!"

"Go find Penguin Logistics."

Mike ran away, and Mostima stood there, watching him disappear into the street.

There were no tears in the corners of his eyes, or rather, since the gentleman opened the umbrella just now, the raindrops in the sky began to gradually weaken. At this moment, the wind blew away the clouds, and the golden sunlight fell on Mostima's shoulders again.

who are you?

I think I've seen you somewhere?

The fallen angel's fingers clenched the umbrella's armrests.

She remembered someone.

Although the two people look completely different, their eyes are extremely similar.

Are there really two similar people on this earth?

……

Mike, soaking wet, returned to his residence and took out clean clothes from the closet.

He stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself in it, and felt a wave of strangeness.

Kal'tsit's words are still echoing in my ears.

"When you change into this body, you are no longer the same person as before."

Mike just smiled in response, saying that he had checked the soles of his feet and found no moles.

Could it be that Kal'tsit could be the Fairy Zixia?

Mike, who has returned for a limited time, has lost his patience with Longmen's playing house. He does not have the search system of the Guard Bureau, nor does he have the rich connections like Penguin Logistics, but it is easier for him to find Capone hiding in the slums than the above two forces.

Many times, the outer ring of Longmen can be equated with the slums. Compared with the strict public security in the urban area of ​​Longmen, the real boss here is Gray Lin, who used to be the Rat King and is now Lin Yuxia.

Mike stayed in the slums for two months, and he was not idle. He walked through the streets and alleys of the outer ring of Longmen and was familiar with every piece of terrain here, but there was one exception, which was the underground system of the outer ring of Longmen.

If you can't find the mouse on the ground, there is only one possibility: the mouse is hiding in the cold and damp sewer.

In the past twenty or thirty years, Longmen has returned to peace under Wei Yanwu's governance, but before that, Longmen was a war zone.

It is the territory of Yan State, but in the eyes of Ursus, who is extremely eager for territory, it is already in his pocket.

Fortunately, Wei Yanwu, a powerful man sent from heaven, was able to recapture Longmen. Despite this, Ursus still left a strong mark on this land.

For example, the sewer system.

Mike doesn't plan to target Capone in the short term, he has to look for some clues on the ground first.

Capone was a fuse, but what could really detonate the powder keg was the target that followed him.

"First it was Texas, then it was Mostima. I can't let you bully my girl."

The man put on his coat, straightened his shirt collar, and went out.

……

Longmen is a complex mobile city with urban area, downtown area, outer ring and slums.

As for the Lower Town, the management strength of the Guard Bureau is not as strong as that of the urban area. Generally, only people in the Lower Town will emphasize their identity, and most of the time it is part of the outer ring.

The downtown area, outer ring and slums can almost be equated. All Longmen residents living in the outer ring and slums hope to move to the downtown area. Only in this way can they have the opportunity to enter the urban area.

When Mike came to Longmen for the first time, Xingxiong was responsible for receiving him. After leaving the urban area of ​​Longmen, it was Lin Yuxia who took him to travel around the outer ring.

The two were very cautious when they met for the first time, fearing that they would be negligent in the slightest, and even spoke in polite diplomatic language.

So the first impression Lin Yuxia gave Mike was that she was difficult to get along with. This woman was not simple.

It was not until they met in Rhode Island and traveled together that they had a preliminary understanding of each other.

When Mike came to Longmen for the second time, Lin Yuxia was still responsible for receiving him. This time, Miss Lin took Mike to a place.

It is right before our eyes.

It was evening, the sun was setting, the earth was shrouded in darkness, and street lights on both sides of the road lit up one after another. The most eye-catching thing was the series of food stalls, with red lights covering the sidewalks and diners coming in an endless stream. These were not Mike's goals.

In front of a small shop that almost no one visits, there are a few tables and a floor-standing sign that reads "Cart Noodles" a few meters away.

In fact, there is still a customer in this noodle shop.

She sat at the open-air table with a bowl of noodles and a plate of fish balls in front of her.

Quiet, solemn, scary.

Mike parked his bike next to the cart noodle sign and walked towards the table step by step.

The guest sitting there looked up, and although he was smiling, there was a coldness in his eyes.

"Mr. Mike, please."

22. Lin Yuxia couldn’t open her mouth to let him know

"You knew I was coming."

"do not know."

"I didn't know you were coming."

"I just like the noodles in this restaurant and I'm a regular customer, so why can't I come?"

Mike sighed, ready to end this boring conversation.

He said, “But you came anyway.”

The guest's mouth corners slightly raised, and a sad smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Shouldn't I come?"

"Miss Lin, if you hadn't come, I could have pretended that I knew nothing, but now that you're here, this play can't go on."

The owner of the cart noodle stall was standing behind the stove, with the steam covering most of his face. He would rather not have heard the conversation clearly. It was conceivable that if they had a fight today, the noodle shop would be completely finished.

At first he was wondering why Miss Lin came here specially today. She ordered a bowl of noodles and a plate of fish balls according to the old custom, but sat there motionless with a dazed look on her face. It turned out that there was a guest.

Mike unceremoniously pulled out the chair opposite Lin Yuxia and sat down. Miss Lin reached out and pushed the cart noodles in front of him, along with the stack of fish balls.

The cart noodle stall owner hurried over and said, "Sir, this bowl of noodles has been rotten in the bowl for too long. How about I change it for you?"

Mike picked up the chopsticks, inserted the tip of the chopsticks into the noodles skillfully, and said calmly: "It's just right that it's rotten."

Lin Yuxia waved her hand: "Leave here first, no matter what happens here, don't come back."

"Hey, okay, okay."

The cart noodle stall owner quickly ran away.

Let the noodle shop go, as long as Miss Lin is happy.

Mike lowered his head and ate noodles without saying a word.

Lin Yuxia was still sitting there, sitting upright, and said, "Mike, Longmen has opened a theater, why don't we find some time to go and listen to a play, how about that?"

"I've only been in Longmen for two months, and I'm unfamiliar with the place. If there are any good plays, Miss Lin can recommend them to me, and I'll take the time to go and watch them."
