Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

After lunch in Rhode Island at noon, the stilt walking 1,000-meter sprint competition officially began at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Blade Master acts as referee and starter.

He just waved the flag in his hand, and the operators began their various falling performances.

At first they thought, wouldn’t it be easy to move if they just put a piece of wood under their feet?

But various problems arose after the game started.

For example, some stilts forget to install shoe straps.

So there is no way to move forward at all.

Some stilts are made of pure metal. The weight makes the operator wearing them twitch with every step. Before walking ten meters, his face is already red.

Some of the links were not tied properly or were of poor quality, and they broke into pieces after not running for long.

Some operators' stilts bumped into others, and they all fell to the ground.

After running less than a hundred meters, half of the contestants had already lost their fighting ability.

The rest of the people continued to sprint towards the finish line.

The spectators nearby looked at the messy stadium and laughed happily.

Suixiang silently took out her camera and filmed the scene.

After the first round, it was time for Suika to take the stage in the second round.

After witnessing the various unexpected events in the first round, the contestants set their sights on the stilts that successfully completed the competition, and a "stilt battle" began before the competition.

Suika smiled as they finished grabbing and found the place where they forgot to make the foot binding, so they failed in the first round.

"Can I use this?"

"I forgot to make the shoe tying part, this thing is useless..." the maker said frustratedly.

"It doesn't matter. If others can't use it, that's their fault. I can use it."

After saying that, Suika set up the stilts and jumped on them, then used the ability of density and sparseness under her feet to tightly attach her feet and the stilts together.

The operator walked onto the competition field on stilts, looking shocked.

Everyone cheered "Oh" when they saw Suika entering the arena stepping on the failed product that hadn't even taken a step in the previous round.

Chapter 435 Nightmare

Compared to other contestants, Suika is obviously much better.

You should know that the simplest stilts they make are made of solid wood, and there are also those made of pure metal.

It can be said that each one is heavier than the other.

Completing the race is a test for all participants.

But for Suika, this is not a burden.

Amid the screams and cheers of the surrounding operators, Suika successfully out-looped the other operators for one and a half laps (one lap of the playground is about three hundred meters) and won easily.

An hour later, the competition was over.

After running the first round, Suixiang was "announced" to withdraw from the competition.

There's no way around it, her speed crushes all the other operators.

With her on the court, the outcome is not in doubt.

So, after receiving the winner's reward in advance - a delicious cake made by Amiya herself, she successfully transformed from a contestant to an audience member.

After the game, everyone dispersed to do their own things.

Suika walked towards Amiya.

At this moment, she was standing next to Blade Master and saying something.

Seeing this, Suixiang was not in a hurry, but waited patiently in the distance.

"Operator Suika seems to have something to ask you. Why don't you go talk to her first?"

Blade Master glanced around and spotted Suika squatting not far away, then looked at Amiya.

Amiya waved to Suika

"Ahem, it didn't affect you, did it?"

Blade Master shook his head

"No, you know I have lost my memory, so Amiya is telling me about the past."

Amiya also nodded, then looked at Suika

"Sui Xiang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Suika looked at Amiya

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Amiya blinked and didn't quite understand what Suika meant, but she still replied.

“Yes, I did. When Her Highness Theresa passed away and Blade Master was injured, I had nightmares almost every day.

Fortunately, Dr. Kal'tsit and everyone in Rhodes Island keep me company every night..."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Suika with a questioning look in her eyes, asking Suika why she asked this question.

Suika rummaged in her pocket, then took out the abnormal-looking pill and handed it to Amiya.

"It may be rude, but I hope you have a nightmare...

You should have heard about what happened to Tallulah. The undead black snake was hiding inside her, and then it was forced out after she took the pill.

This is it.”

Suika's actions attracted the attention of many people around her.

Amiya tilted her head.

"Suika, are you saying that there's an immortal black snake inside me too?"

“No, no, no, that old loach wouldn’t dare touch you unless he wants to die.

You probably also know from Kal'tsit that I'm not an ordinary person...

I happened to come across a very special experience before, which is related to you, but I can't describe it to you.

So this is the only way I can let you experience it.”

The immortal black snake was indeed terrifying and powerful, but Suika guessed that he would not have the courage to enter Amiya's body.

After all, the Sarkaz Crown still holds a grudge that dates back thousands of years, and even He is not worthy of it.

Amiya took the pill that was still emitting black energy and looked suspicious for a few seconds, then swallowed it.

"Ah... Actually, you can eat it before going to bed at night..."

Suika hadn't expected Amiya to be so decisive.

"No, I'm with Blade Master during the day. I believe even a terrible nightmare can't defeat me..."

Amiya closed her eyes and fell asleep before she could finish her words.

Blade Master hurriedly carried her to a nearby stool.

"What happened?" Seeing Amiya suddenly "fainted", the surrounding operators immediately gathered around.

Suika explained this to the recent logos.

"Are you sure the pill is okay?" Logos asked worriedly as he looked at Amiya, whose brows gradually furrowed in her sleep.

"Of course I am sure, Amiya is such a good child, I can't bear to hurt her.

It's just a nightmare, at most it makes you break out in a cold sweat."

Suixiang felt that it was hard to say anything else, but Bayi Eirin's pharmaceutical ability was still trustworthy.

Logos nodded, and originally wanted to comfort the operators around him, but when he saw Amiya, he became uneasy.

A pitch-black crown appeared above Amiya's head at some point.

At the same time, endless sadness came from the sleeping Amiya.

That was her Originium skill from the crown, although she usually used it to feel the emotions of the outside world.

But at this moment, the people around her seemed to feel the sadness in her heart that was as big as the ocean.

Fortunately, Logos reacted quickly enough, and the golden spell appeared beside him the first second he noticed something was wrong.

Soon the spell floated from his fingertips to Amiya's body, and then disappeared into her body. The sadness that was about to spread to the entire playground disappeared in an instant.

logos looked at Suika with a bad face

"Is this what you mean by no problem?"

Suika folded her hands and said she was very sorry.

"Ah... I didn't expect Amiya to be so moved in her dream..."

logos looked at Amiya, who had a tear falling from her eye, and said to Suika seriously

"No, Amiya's condition is not right. I need to wake her up."

After he finished speaking, the rune in his hand reappeared and fell on Amiya's forehead.

But more than ten seconds passed, and Amiya was still in the nightmare, with no intention of waking up.

logos couldn't help showing a surprised expression

"how come!"

"What's going on? Amiya!" At this moment, the door not far away was opened, and Kal'tsit, who noticed something was wrong, also walked out.

When she saw the crown on Amiya's head, she was stunned for a second, then looked at the logos

Logos told Kel'tsit what had just happened. Kel'tsit's expression was very scary. She looked at Suika.

"what have you been doing…"

"..." Suixiang didn't expect it to turn out like this. At this moment, she felt it was best to keep her mouth shut. If she said one more word, she felt that the old lynx would get angry.

At this moment, Amiya suddenly opened her eyes.

"Amiya!" Seeing her wake up, Kal'tsit hurried to her side and touched her forehead.

Only then did Amiya wake up from the nightmare, her whole body covered in sweat caused by the nightmare.

After seeing Kal'tsit and ACE behind her, she cried out "Wow~".

"Okay, okay...it's okay." Kyles reached out and gently stroked Amiya's hair. After calming Amiya down, she looked at Suika.

"Ms. Suika, I need a reasonable explanation, otherwise you will no longer be welcome to Rhodes Island."

"Dr. Kal'tsit, Suika didn't hurt me...it was my own fault."

Hearing Kal'tsit's harsh rebuke, Amiya hurriedly interrupted.

Chapter 436 Sincere Apology Xiao Suixiang

Hearing Amiya speak, Kal'tsit shifted her attention and looked at Amiya worriedly.

At this time, the crown on her head had disappeared, but the appearance she had just appeared was engraved in everyone's heart.

Suika also looked at Amiya

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect your reaction in the dream to be so big..."

Amiya shook her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"It's okay...it's just that this nightmare is too real..."

As she said this, she looked towards ACE's face, remembering the figure who stood in the flames, blocking the way of the Reunion Movement and eventually turned into a sea of fire.

And there are also everyone who rushed forward to protect themselves during the retreat.

A scout who volunteered to die in order to buy a chance of survival for his group's successful evacuation.

The death in her memory was so tragic and real. If she hadn't opened her eyes and seen those familiar people standing in front of her with worried eyes, she would have almost lost the ability to tell what was real and what was fake.

She looked at Suika
