Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive. In fact, the price is much lower than other institutions' drugs. Even for an average family, if they buy Rhodes Island's blocking drugs, it won't affect their family finances too much."

After Suika finished speaking, the frown on Carmen's face slightly relaxed.

"Is it really that good?"

"This stuff can't fool anyone. After all, Rhodes Island already has a lot of infected patients. If there's false propaganda, wouldn't the infected people themselves be unaware of it?"

"But you are not infected..."

Carmen looked at Suika and didn't see any signs of an infected person on her body.

"I'm not infected. I'm just a messenger doing an extra job..."

After Suika said wow, the two fell silent.

Carmen picked up the wine glass and smelled it

"'Royal Liqueur' from Leithania, this stuff is not cheap..."

“Good job sir, it is indeed Royal Liqueur.

I've only had this wine once, and it was only a small glass."

Suika stretched out her fingers to compare the size.

"Haha, then I'm really lucky." Carmen raised her glass and drank it all.

After drinking, he looked at Suika

"I don't think you are someone who can't communicate, so why is it..."

Before Carmen finished speaking, Suixiang snorted

"Why would you go on a killing spree?

I would like to communicate, but don’t you know the character of your judges?

In the first town, I met a few guys who I didn't know whether they were from the Punishment Army or the National Defense Army. They said I was a spy as soon as they opened their mouths. The judge was even more unwilling to listen to my explanation and came to want to kill me.

I'm actually a very easy person to talk to, but what can I say in this situation? He wanted to kill me, but I spared his life. Isn't that merciful enough?

As for the second time...

I gave them a chance, and nothing would happen if they chose to leave.

But they insisted on attacking me.

The old man thinks you are a reasonable person.

You said they started it first, I can’t just wash my neck and let them finish me off.”

Suika spoke so righteously that Carmen was speechless for a moment.

Although he had not seen it in person, based on what he knew about the personalities of those judges, what the girl in front of him said should be true.

And she had no need to lie to herself.

"But they are still members of the Inquisition!" Carmen sighed.

"Tsk, if all the Iberian Inquisition are like this, then it's really screwed."

Suika sneered and pointed to the town below.

"Just like this town, the largest trading street is filled with privateers and pirates from all over the place. They all have blood on their hands, yet they still stay there peacefully.

Has anyone taken care of them?"

Seeing Carmen remained silent, Suika poured him another glass of wine.

"I know you're stressed out about that thing in the sea, but stress is no excuse to point guns at innocent people.

If you, an inquisitor, can kill ordinary people to vent your stress, then what is the point of being an inquisitor?

We're all going to die anyway, so why not join the crowd?"

After saying that, Suika drank the wine in the cup.

"Old man, do you still want to fight with me now?"

Seeing that Carmen didn't say anything, Suika smiled contemptuously.

"You don't think you can't explain to those people without a fight, do you?"

Carmen nodded after hearing this.

“Why should we tell them?

If you make a mistake, accept the punishment; if you get beaten, stand at attention.

If they feel unhappy, let them come to me. If you can't bear it, I will help you clean up the mess.

I only know one thing: anyone who kills must be prepared to be killed.

You don't have to spoil them.

You are the saint of Iberia, you should be the captain, you should lead the direction of Iberia and guide the progress of this ship called Iberia.

As judges, they should be your sailors, your first mates, not your burdens."

Said this Suika stood up and looked down the mountain, with a sarcastic tone

"It seems your people are looking for you. So, do you still want to give them an explanation?"

"You don't mind an old guy like me walking with you for a while, do you?" Carmen said something that Suika didn't expect.

"Are you serious?"

Suika tilted her head, showing an amused expression.

"Of course, there's no need for things to lie, right?"

Carmen remained calm.

"Aren't you afraid they'll accuse you of having affairs with outsiders? That you're not Iberian enough?"

“Whether my position is Iberian enough is not for those juniors to discuss.

As for you, I need to see for myself whether what you say is consistent with what you do."

After Carmen finished speaking, she stood up and dusted off her butt.

He walked up to the visitor and said something to him.

The judge widened his eyes in disbelief, then shouted that as a judge, Carmen should not let the murderer go easily.

Carmen looked at him coldly.

"Why, do I need you to judge whether there is anything wrong with what I do?"

The man broke out in a cold sweat.

He realized that the old man in front of him was not a good man, but the strongest man in the Inquisition who stood at the front of the Inquisition after the Great Silence and fought his way out with gunfire and swords. He was given the name of Iberia, "Carmen y Iberia".

“I…I…” Carmen glared at him and the man didn’t know how to start for a moment.

But he didn't leave, because if the problem with Suika was not resolved, it would be difficult for him to control the thieves who were already ready to act if he returned to the city.

"Hahahahahaha… I'm so happy...

Old man, are you capable of this?

Seeing this situation, Suixiang was not polite at all and directly stepped on his face to provoke him.

The man felt a chill down his spine when he heard Suika's words.

He understood that if he left now, he would still have a chance to go back to the city and gather his troops to fight those bandits.

But staying here is a dead end.

After thinking it through, the other party ran down the mountain without looking back, fearing that Carmen would change her mind and shoot him to death here.

Carmen's expression finally improved after seeing the man leave.

"Let's go, old man." Suixiang looked at the judge who was leaving with a look of regret.

Then he turned around and continued walking west.

A few days later, the news that Carmen chose to travel with the murderer reached the court, causing quite a stir.

Many radical Inquisitors felt that this was a blasphemy against the Inquisition.

But most of the inquisitors still chose to stand on Carmen's side.

Although they did not understand why Carmen made this choice, they trusted Carmen not to harm Iberia, and they believed that Carmen must have his own reasons for making this choice.

Carmen followed Suika into the wilderness.

"Grandpa, grandpa, why does this grass look like this? Is it dead?"

Suika said, pointing at a tree root that looked like a dead tree.

"it…"

Before Carmen could introduce herself, Suika had already come to the entrance of a cave.

"Old man, look at this hole. It's really interesting. Air is still blowing out..."

"Be careful..." Carmen's expression changed when she heard Suika's words.

There are many such intermittent vents in Iberia, which spew out boiling hot water or hot air from underground.

Even a fully armed soldier can be killed if sprayed by this thing.

At this moment, a roar like that of a splitting beast came from the bottom of the cave.

Then a gust of wind with salt particles blew out from the cave.

"Wuhu!" As Carmen was stunned, Suika was blown hundreds of meters into the air and then flew back.

"Hahaha, this thing is really interesting. If we could make a jet bungee jumping, it would definitely be a good entertainment activity."

After landing, Suika said happily while shaking off the salt particles on her body.

……

Carmen doesn't want to talk

The temperature of the jet is nearly 100 degrees.

Only Suika is a weirdo. Normal people would be scalded to death after one round.

Probably not many people would be willing to experience bungee jumping where you only have one life.

"Your Iberia is truly desolate. We've been walking here for almost a week now, and we haven't seen a single living person, let alone a village or town."

Standing on a hill, Suixiang sighed as she looked at the vast white land in front of her.

"There aren't many people, but there are quite a lot of other creatures. Isn't this also a symbol of life?"

Carmen did not follow Suika's words, but looked at the ground not far away. Although the vibration was small, even she could not hide it from herself, so she believed that she could not hide it from the person in front of her.

“Indeed, no matter how harsh the place is, life will always adapt and survive in its own way.

To be honest, before coming to Iberia, I would never have imagined how fish could swim underground..."

Suika answered with certainty.

"Salt scales are considered the most vibrant new life to appear in Iberia after the Great Silence.

It is because of them that people in desolate areas can at least have something to eat.”

Carmen sighed a little. In this desolate salt wind zone where not even a hair can grow, only salt scales are active.

The people living here rely on these salt scales. Although their life is difficult, at least they are alive.

"Grandpa, how about we eat salt scale meat tonight?" Suika looked at Carmen beside her as she felt the increasingly strong vibrations underground.

"Of course, but it will take us a long time to finish such a large salt scale."

Carmen had become quite familiar with Suika these past few days and had almost understood her personality.

She is quite impulsive, but at the same time she is very law-abiding.

It can be said that he is a very contradictory person.
