Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Frost Star's expression changed slightly, but he finally endured it.

She acted as if she hadn't heard anything. "Your mercenaries, Sasha, and Mephisto's forces are on a mission."

Frost Star did not call "Mephistopheles" by his real name, but used his code name, while she called "Faust" by his real name.

This caught Ott's attention.

"Mephisto doesn't sound like a person's real name. She didn't pronounce his real name. It's likely that she hates that twisted brat." Otto telepathically said, "She might ask you to take care of another person named Sasha."

"Mephistopheles?" W was surprised and asked, "Is he awake?"

Froststar shook her head.

"No, he's still unconscious and only accepts the food and water Sasha brings him."

W scratched his ear with his pinky finger, somewhat incredulous. "Then why let him participate? His team is basically sustained by his Originium skills! If he's still paralyzed, he's basically useless!"

"..." Frost Star's expression changed slightly, and she said, "This is Tallulah's order."

"You don't want to listen either?" W narrowed his eyes.

She crossed her arms, a smile in her eyes, and said, "That disgusting brat... You can't stop me for him!"

"You guessed right." Frost Star clenched his fists, then loosened them.

"Tallulah orders you to go to Longmen and cooperate with Alex to recapture Misha."

W also noticed something was wrong. Her reflexes, which had been tricked by Otto, keenly grasped the problem: "Then why didn't you mention the broken bones just now!?"

Damn it! I know this shit all too well!

"Your job is to cooperate with Bone Crusher."

The mask of madness covered W's face again, and she said with a fake smile: "Hey? Are you going to use us as bait?"

"The commission I receive doesn't cover this kind of thing."

"That's included in the contract with Garson."

"I mean, the commission I received." W said word by word. "Garlson died in the camp, and none of the money he pocketed ever reached us!"

"That's an internal matter among you Sarkaz mercenaries."

"And the Reunion Movement is counting on the mercenaries to act as human shields. Without feeding them, Tallulah will never get the results she wants."

Although these Sarkaz mercenaries were infected, most of them were dismissive of the Reunion's ideals and maintained a distant relationship with them. In other words, those Sarkaz, represented by Mudstone, who admired the Reunion's ideals... had already been disillusioned and parted ways with the current Reunion movement.

Now, there are indeed only mercenaries left here.

Tallulah, Tallulah...

Shuangxing sighed and said, "There's still a lot of red gold in those banks in Qie City. After this is done, it will all be yours."

W pressed on, "You have to give me 30% beforehand!"

"you!"

It's almost time.

Ott sent a telepathic message: "Let me do it."

Tsk.

The Sarkaz girl spat inwardly.

Frost Star suddenly felt that the mercenary leader in front of him was a little strange - it was the same face, but he suddenly became smarter.

It wasn't that W wasn't smart before, but her crazed expression hid it well. Now, the Sarkaz girl's pretty face turned cold, revealing a strange "intelligence."

"Yelena, your father is also a Sarkaz." Ott said through W.

"Just complete your job, mercenary. There's no need to get close to me." Frost Star felt uneasy.

Ott didn't respond, but continued, using W's mouth, "You should realize how much of what outsiders regard as superstition and witchcraft is actually true and how much is undeniable."

"what do you want to say in the end!?"

"Among the many legends of Ursus, there is a story... about an undead being named Koschei. He lives a long life, is insidious and cunning, and often plays the role of a 'hostile father.'"

"People think Kosice is an alien because he often appears in different forms: tall, short, fat, thin, male, female, old, young..."

Frost Star had heard of the name Kosice, that was Tallulah's adoptive father!

What exactly does this Sarkaz girl want to say?

"But those with insight understand that the undead black snake was never a shapeshifter—a shapeshifter is a kind of Sarkaz."

"It's never the Black Snake that changes its appearance; it's always the owner of that appearance... who becomes Kosice."

Frost Star's pupils trembled.

"Imitating a person's appearance isn't a Sarkaz monopoly. And stealing a person's body isn't either."

The Sa... the demon in front of her revealed a horrifying possibility to her in a cold tone.

"what do you want to say in the end!?"

Chapter 55: Black Snake Hisses

The lights shone, and a honey-colored luster reflected on W's lips. The familiar facial mask was once again worn on the Sarkaz girl's face.

A curse uttered from the girl's lips: "Your current leader, the woman who pays me commission... I smell the stench of old age on her!"

Of course, W said such vicious words.

Because in front of some people, Black Snake is just a little girl, and Otto would never use similar words to insult people.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to bring up old accounts?

"..."

Frost Star really hopes that the demon girl in front of her is telling the truth!

If what she said was true, then Yelena could completely project the anger and resentment she had accumulated over the past few days onto an absolute "evil." In this way, the fighter who arrived with the roster and number book still had passion flowing in his blood!

But how could that be true?

Dad’s Originium Altar is indeed useful, but it does not mean that every legend of the Sarkaz is true!

What's more, the Sarkaz in front of him specifically emphasized that he was "not a Sarkaz"!

If Dad knew this news, he, who has always been stubborn, might be even more reluctant to... do the necessary thing.

If Otto could read Froststar's thoughts at this moment, he would be overjoyed:

The Patriots had already made up their minds to get rid of Tallulah when Tallulah gave Mephistopheles the de facto "massacre" order.

However, this stubborn veteran was unwilling to cause a "Father killing Brother" farce and bring down the banner of the Integration Movement. He was determined to use someone else's banner and name to execute this "corrupted" leader.

Even the adopted daughter "Frost Star" couldn't understand Wendigo's thoughts... let alone others?

It is true that Froststar cannot expect W.

That was too "wonderful" and could solve all her troubles at once, so Yelena now had no intention of believing it.

She just took a deep breath, shook her head, and said regretfully: "If that's true..."

"W, Tallulah is in the tent, waiting for you." Froststar added, "We are powerless to change Tallulah's decision. We just hope you can take care of Sasha."

"The leader of the Phantom Crossbowmen?" W gave Froststar a playful look. "Is he your brother or something?"

"They are both Tallulah...both children she saved." Froststar didn't answer directly: "They were both good children."

"Go ahead, I won't stop you."

But as W passed by her, he whispered, "Remember, at the end of the dream, in that decaying town, you will see those superstitions... coming to life."

Frost Star was a little puzzled. She turned around and saw the Sarkaz girl throwing and catching her self-defense dagger.

"Riddles are so fun!" W said excitedly, "What other riddles do you have? Let me share some!"

"Whether it's a riddle or not depends entirely on whether the listener has enough information."

"For example, even if we tell the story directly, she doesn't have enough information to understand the borderland, to understand Hamlet."

“Therefore, it would be better to…”

"Stop, stop, stop! I asked you to give me a few more riddles, not to tell me a few riddles!"

W thought to himself, "Through this door lies that black snake. Can you handle it?"

"I do have enough answers, but the question is: What is your problem?"

"I mean, isn't that rascal snake the same kind as you?"

"That's a very serious accusation - I'm a lot better than she is."

Refers to ruling the country and conquering the world.

Not to mention the Russians starting, Ryukyu (now Okinawa) can also start...

"I have a feeling you've got the wrong channel...Won't she see through all these problems with me?"

Ott said simply: "You are a Sarkaz."

For this race, having a soul on their body is not a strange thing. After mastering the basic art of necromancy, Otto also realized that his influence on the heroes did not exist from the perspective of the soul.

It was something... something else.

"Shit! Are you telling me riddles again?!"

W pushed open the door.

The temporary command center's warmth was minimal.

In the center of the hall, the fireplace was slowly but surely converting firewood into heat.

However, this ancient design was more decorative than practical. Only by the fireplace could one enjoy a modicum of warmth; a few steps away would be almost as cold as the rest of the hall.

The firelight from the fireplace stretched the shadow of the Draco woman long, extending all the way to W's face.

The Sarkaz girl could hardly see the face of the "mother dragon".

"W, you are younger than I thought."

Before W could say something like "You're older than I thought," Ott stopped him and said, "Push the conversation forward. We still have to go to Hamlet tonight."

"You..." W said halfway, then changed the subject: "...you look good."

Looking good?

Does it mean that he had just been tricked by a mysterious hooded figure in the mental realm a few days ago and had a mental breakdown?

Fortunately, the fireplace was still lit, and when W looked at it head-on, "Tallulah's" facial expression seemed a little blurry.

Otto sighed: It is almost impossible to prevent W from choking.

"...very energetic. It would be even better if you had this kind of energy during the day."

This refers to the fact that W "stayed as still as a mountain when his friendly forces were in trouble" during the day, and only set off slowly after all the members of the Integration Movement were killed.

Of course, everyone knows that what Otto did was even worse.

A little bit.

"Alas, I just took over the mercenary group. How can I give them my all? They killed one leader, so they won't hesitate to kill another."

"Unlike Garson, I have to take their feelings into consideration."

The Drake woman remained noncommittal.

"You weren't here during the previous combat meeting. Some of the things I entrusted to Garson were left unattended for a while. It seems the commissions I paid him were also buried with him."

"However, since he withheld military pay to the point of mutiny... perhaps I should personally distribute your military pay?"

W's fake smile could no longer be maintained.

"It's best for us Sarkaz to handle our affairs."

For mercenary gangs, this is equivalent to taking away military power.

After "Tallulah" tapped it gently, it seemed that she confirmed W's character.
