Skadi, who was already used to it, pulled Grani, who was still looking at her curiously, and walked straight in, through the garden and the hall, all the way to the rest area.

A quarrel was heard from the front. With her extraordinary vision, Skadi quickly saw two women pushing each other at the door of the room, while her boss, Le, was standing aside eating watermelon and watching the show.

"Eh? Is that the boss of Yinjiao that Skadi mentioned? So handsome!" Grani exclaimed at the dragon man who looked very handsome at first glance, while Skadi coughed twice.

The two women who were arguing stopped, and the one in blue even showed a wicked smile. Le, who heard the voice, also turned her head and looked at the two people who didn't know what was going to happen at this time with a malicious smile.

The two people, who had no idea what was going on, leaned against each other and shivered.

Chapter 29 What to do to become a six-star - Skadi (Part )

The next second, Xi teleported in front of Skadi, gently lifted Skadi's chin with his right hand, and looked at the other's face seriously with a scrutinizing gaze, feeling like a domineering president. Le even took out a paper document, divided it into two halves, and placed them in front of Skadi and Grani respectively.

After observing Skadi's face, Xi nodded, muttered something, and made way for Le. Then he pulled the bewildered Grani and continued to observe the other party, while Le began to have a formal conversation with Skadi.

"Ms. Skadi, as an official of the Arknights game, I now specially hire you as the new six-star guard operator, and you will appear in the major game update in five days." After saying that, he put the contract in Skadi's hands.

Skadi was silent for a while. She had heard of the game Arknights, but when the server was launched, she was digging for treasure and fighting Originium worms in the mountains and missed it.

(In fact, the task could have been completed a few days earlier, but because the map version Skadi got was too old, she went around in circles and finally found the Water Drop Village under the guidance of Grani.)

Despite this, Skadi still intended to refuse. For her own reasons, she had many secrets that she did not intend to expose to the Terrans.

But before Skadi could speak, Le raised his hand to signal Skadi to listen to what he said. As if he had seen through Skadi's psychological activities, Le came up with a trump card.

"You don't think your identity as a deep-sea hunter is a shameful secret, do you, Miss Skadi?"

The biggest secret was revealed by this man so casually. Skadi's body trembled, and even her beautiful eyes widened.

Le Chengsheng pressed on: "As long as you sign the contract, we will cover all of Ghost Shark's expenses, and provide you with a villa for deep-sea hunters to live in, with a 20-square-meter swimming pool, free water and electricity, and help you find the remaining survivors, such as your third captain Ulpian and Ghost Shark's second captain Goletia."

"Deal! But you have to tell me where they are now, and I have to look at the contract before I can sign it." Skadi's defenses were severely breached, but having been trained on land, she still had to carefully confirm the contract before signing.

"No problem!" Le snapped her fingers happily. Nian noticed that she seemed to have heard some great news, while Xi was already holding a paintbrush and making a rough draft for Skadi. There were only five days left, and she was very pressed for time. Only Grani was still confused. She couldn't understand what the two were talking about at all!

The next moment, she found out that she was about to become a five-star vanguard operator in Arknights. She stammered and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but Le just took out a certificate and shut her up.

[For the glory of Casimir, Yinjiao is hereby authorized to mobilize all registered knights, competitive knights and mounted police of Casimir unconditionally after prior notification. Signed by Russell, Grand Knight Commander of the Supervisory Council.]

"Combat Knight Li and Competition Knight Baijin have already signed contracts with Arknights. They are four-star special forces and five-star snipers respectively. By the way, we have already communicated with your cavalry captain and family in advance. Now we just need you."

"I'll sign! Is it not okay for me to sign? QAQ" Grani was dumbfounded. How could this man be so ruthless and cut off all her escape routes.

By the time she came to her senses, Grani was already in the training room. Under the instruction of the Aslan girl named Vina, she demonstrated her Originium skills, combat experience and her famous skill "Never Back Off" to the virtual opponent in front of her.

Outside the training room, a blonde girl with heterochromatic eyes was waiting obediently for Sister Kuranta to complete her task under the guidance of Hannah. Something went wrong when recording her Originium skills into a combat video, and she had to re-record it.

The protagonist of this chapter, Skadi, is repeatedly recording her own BGM "Hunter's song" in a recording studio.

When Skadi got this song for the first time, she was completely speechless, because this song was tailor-made for her. She even often lost control of her emotions halfway through singing and couldn't continue. For this, Le said he was well prepared.

Just after the thirty-first stop, Le rubbed his brows. It seemed that he had to use the plan B specially prepared for Skadi. But before that, Skadi had to take a break and drink some honey water or something good for the throat. She had been singing for nearly an hour.

"You should go out and rest for a while and adjust your mood. The past few years of your activities on land have made your mood a little distorted."

"Sorry." Skadi bowed to apologize, then left the recording studio to rest at Le's urging.

A Liberian girl with bright red short hair leaned over and, under the gaze of Czerny, who was full of majesty and not to be messed with, smiled and said to Le: "So, Lord Le, what surprise have you prepared? I have been curious for a long time."

Czerny also said: "Lord God of Music, to be honest, I think Miss Skadi's singing is pretty good. I don't know why you are always dissatisfied."

Le rubbed his temple helplessly and said, "Erato, Czerny, you don't understand. The song I sang for Skadi should correspond to her hesitation and confusion when she first left her hometown and stepped onto the land."

After saying this, he replayed the clip he had just stopped and asked the two to listen carefully.

“Hopeless I’m chasing the dawn.”

After the song was over, Erato was still a little confused. She felt that the lyrics were sung very gently and with hope, while Czerny seemed to be thinking about something.

After Erato had played it twice more, Czerny held down her hand as she tried to play it a fourth time.

"It's fear. Miss Skadi was already building up her emotions after this line. No, it should be that she was already building up her emotions when she started singing earlier, and it exploded here. The lyrics already carry a vague feeling of fear, so the mood of the entire verse has gone astray."

"Bingo. In fact, Miss Skadi has been living a very hard life on land in the past few years. She has been avoiding her past." Le continued rubbing his head. When the recording of the song was not going well, not only the singer was tired of singing, but those who were recording the song were also tired, especially those of him who had to listen to it frame by frame. Czerny, who was in charge of the piano, and Erato, who was in charge of the violin, were still secretly moving their fingers at this moment.

After rubbing his head and opening his eyes, he saw Erato already sitting next to Czerny with a piece of watermelon in his arms.

"Sisso, let me hear Miss Skadi's story." Erato said vaguely while biting a watermelon.

"There's really nothing we can do about you." Le was speechless. He vaguely felt something, but Erato was the band's favorite, so they just spoiled her. Even Czerny didn't object.

What Czerny and Erato didn't know was that at this moment Skadi was leaning against the door, drinking water and listening carefully to everything in the recording studio. The sound insulation effect was useless to a killer whale like her, who was also a deep-sea hunter.

Chapter 30 What to do to become a six-star - Skadi (Part )

"In fact, Skadi is a godslayer." Le blurted out the bombshell news in a bland manner, causing Erato to exclaim in surprise, and even Czerny was shocked. Only Skadi outside the door was still drinking honey water to stay healthy.

"But, as we often say, a dragon slayer becomes a dragon. When Skadi swung her sword at the god named Isharmle and bathed in her blood, she was contaminated by her blood. From then on, a large group called Haisi became a part of her destiny, but in fact, haha." At this point, Le couldn't help but chuckle, with contempt in his laughter.

"But in fact, the Deep Sea Hunters are part of the Sea Si. Those Agor people integrated the flesh and blood of the Sea Si into their own bodies. Most of them lost their wills and were assimilated into the Sea Si. In the end, they were killed by their compatriots. However, a few lucky ones survived this trial and possessed strength far beyond others. Therefore, the Deep Sea Hunter bloodline..."

Before she could finish her words, the door of the recording studio was quickly pushed open by the girl's brute force. Skadi pointed a large sword that she had taken out at some point at Le. Her face was calm, but there was anger in her red eyes.

"What else do you know about the Deep Sea Hunter?" The greatsword revealed some sharpness, as if if the answer given by the other party did not satisfy her, she would teach him a lesson.

Czerny angrily picked up his piano and used it as a shield against Skadi, while Erato placed his right hand on the violin and aimed it at Skadi, with energy crossbow arrows faintly generated between his hands.

But their weapons were quickly held down by a pair of black hands. Le ignored the greatsword pointed at him and said Kal'tsit's classic quote to Skadi with disdain.

"You and your race are ridiculous to me."

Listening to what the green-haired lynx once said to her, Skadi was silent for a moment and put down her sword.

"How much do you know? What price will I have to pay for you to be willing to tell me everything you know."

"I know everything. Now, Miss Skadi, just record your song first. I will tell you everything you want to know later, but now is not the time." After saying that, Le gave up his seat and motioned for Skadi to continue recording the song.

Skadi sat back in her seat silently, adjusted her throat, and waited quietly for Le's instructions.

"No, I plan to start Plan B. Skadi, after you know part of the truth, the emotions in your singing will only continue to be distorted and will not achieve the effect I want."

After saying that, Le snapped his fingers, and the entire clean and bright recording studio disappeared, leaving only a few people's instruments still there.

The next moment the tide hit the reef, bringing out bursts of roars, and finally unable to recede, leaving the stubborn rock still standing firm in its place.

It was night, the sky was dark, and only the beach was quietly emitting a dim light under the moonlight.

Although he had worked for the god of music for several years and had seen the sea countless times, Czerny was still moved by the beautiful scenery, and a song that belonged to him had already sounded in his mind.

Skadi walked silently to the beach, took off her shoes, and stepped her smooth feet into the cold sea water. The slight chill made her feel that all this was real.

Just as everyone was feeling the sea, Erato suddenly discovered movement in the ocean. He pointed in surprise, drawing everyone's attention to that place.

The next second, a girl with white hair and red eyes, who could not hide her fatigue, broke through the water, climbed ashore in a panic, and lay on the beach, gasping for breath.

Skadi had already recognized that it was herself, and Le's voice sounded at the right time.

"Skadi, maybe you don't remember it, but this is the scene when you left your hometown and stepped onto the shore for the first time."

Skadi quietly looked at the girl who was resting on the beach, wondering what she was thinking.

Not long after resting, the girl seemed to have realized something. She ignored her aching body, picked up the sword she had been holding in her hand and used it as a crutch, and limped towards the depths of the land. Everyone could even see the confusion on her face, and the hesitation of looking back every few steps.

At this moment, a keyboard appeared among the musicians. He pushed it gently, and a familiar accompaniment sounded. Czerny and Erato were stunned for a moment, and the next second they immediately ran back to their seats and put their hands on their instruments.

Since she had already sung for who knows how many times, Skadi almost instinctively followed the accompaniment and hummed softly.

Home, left her homeland miles behind,

The hunter she walks, on the seacoast way,

with her path before him.

In the picture, the young and confused Skadi chose to leave her hometown with a big sword, walked to the shore in embarrassment, and walked towards the depths of the land step by step with confusion about the uncertain future and fear of the unknown land.

Crash, and the driftwood floats, evermore

It's the salt on my skin.

The driftwood behind her, covered by the tide, floated aimlessly, just like herself. The dried sea water formed salt crystals on her skin, but she could not feel it.

Leaving their mark, where the walls once towered.

Oh, it's more than a dream.

Coming to the city on land, the numerous tall buildings looked like towering skyscrapers in her eyes. The bright moon was shone from thousands of lights, and the sound of music and warm breeze could be heard from a few places. It was like a dream to her.

It's a play, the tides attending.

Oh, our world comes apart at the seams.

Such beauty was beyond the comprehension of Skadi. She stood on a distant mountain, without even wiping off the salt crystals on her face. She thought all this was fake, a trick of the tide, because behind her, in the sea that could no longer be seen clearly, was her destroyed hometown. Her relatives and comrades had all left, leaving her alone.

From the chaos

Scared and afraid.

I will wander,

I will remain.

The two completely different, chaotic and disordered worlds even made her feel fearful and hesitant, but she still decided to go forward.

【Strong, but it sets with the sun

Hopeless, I'm chasing the dawn

And I wander, wander on.

She decided to let go of her past and start her life anew, even though she was still feeling lost and confused.

Just when Skadi finished singing the last sentence and completed the recording, the sentimental Erato finally put down her violin, wiped her tears and cried, "Sister Skadi, you are so pitiful. You must have had a hard life all these years, right?" Czerny also took his hands off the piano, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears.

Skadi thought about when she first came to the land, she had no money on her, and she was reduced to wandering the streets, unable to even afford a bath, and could only look on with envy at those people who had bread and other things to eat. She seriously affirmed Erato's words.

Then she was hugged by Erato, who leaned on her shoulder and cried while trying to give her a soft hug. His enthusiasm made Skadi at a loss, fearing that a slight push would send Erato flying away.

He watched all this with a twitching mouth. If others didn't know, how could he not know? At first, Skadi was indeed in a miserable situation, but that night, after she dealt with a bunch of hooligans who coveted her beauty in the alley, she took a bath happily, had a sumptuous meal, and even collapsed the bed in the hotel and had to pay a sum of money.

But he didn't say it. He just packed his things. After he finished packing, he stood at the door of the recording studio which had been restored to its original state without him knowing when, and said that the recording was over and he would treat everyone to a meal.

Then he was dragged by the cheering Erato to a well-known Kjerag-style restaurant on the Sound Horn Mountain. Czerny shook his head helplessly, carefully placed his piano, and then called Skadi to go to the restaurant with him for dinner.

Chapter 31 Tyrant Tallulah

Just when Le Shen was busy training the little killer whale.

In the game, the Longmen team, which had completed their repairs, returned to their loyal battlefield.

After discussion, they decided not to skip the plot. A qualified police officer should face the natural disaster head-on.

So when they reloaded in and looked at the paused scene, even though they were mentally prepared, it was still a little hard to accept.

The wildly laughing members of the Reunion Movement formed a sharp contrast with some members of the Reunion Movement who were desperately avoiding the Originium. The shattered and collapsed high-rise buildings, the meteorites and falling rocks that fell from time to time, the unfortunate people who were trapped under the ruins and howling in pain, the Rhodes Island team who were busy avoiding danger, and Lin Guang, ACE and others who were desperately commanding and saving people.

They told themselves more than once that this was just a game, but the real scene still made them feel sad and scared.

They planned to use the opportunity of time standing still to observe the current battlefield. Xingxiong even tried to move an infected person who did not have time to avoid falling objects to the side, but her hand passed through the other person's body and could not touch him at all.

She frowned, feeling a little reluctant to see the other party end up like this. She called Chen Huijie to see if it was because she was not the main person in charge of communicating the plot. As a result, Chen Huijie's hand also passed through the other party's body.

Xingxiong didn't give up yet. She looked around, trying to find something else that could help block the attack and buy a little more time for the poor guy, even if it was only for a second.

But the next second, a prompt popped up by the system.

“Please do not interfere with the plot of the game. Your goodwill now cannot affect the time and space that has already happened in the future. Please keep your goodwill and strive to change the future now so that more tragedies will not happen again.

Finally, thank you again for trying to save the unfortunate, thank you very much... and sorry."

This reminder made Xingxiong silent for a moment. She could only choose to turn around and stop trying to look at the infected person.

Then Lin Yuxia called her and motioned for her to look over there.

The Longmen team came to Lin Yuxia. In front of her lay a young infected person with a hideous face who refused to close his eyes until his death. His lower body had been smashed into a bloody mess by the collapsed floor. His right hand was tightly clutching a photo, which was a photo of a smiling girl.

Judging from his last action, he must have been struggling to see the girl in the photo again, but now he can only fall on this cold ground.

Lin Yuxia gently closed his eyes and placed his right hand on his left chest closest to his heart. Others noticed that Lin Yuxia was able to touch the game character at this time, but no one disturbed her.

After Lin Yuxia finished all this, she clapped her hands, then stood up and said to the people surrounding her: "Although we can't change the tragedy that has already happened, at least we can let the deceased retain the last bit of dignity."

Then he took the lead in pushing Chen Huijie to a safe place, and called everyone, saying, "Let's go, friends. Let's continue reading the plot, and then change the tragedy that may happen in the future, even if it's just the best we can do."
