Hello, Arknights

Chapter 137 Arrangement

"Ah, Senior Bai Ge is back!" When he stepped into the door of the office area, Kong, who was cleaning, wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave him a bright smile.

"Oh, it's Kong. Is it your turn to clean today?" Ling Dengxian still remembered the task of cleaning the public areas which had never been his turn.

"No, it's Senior Bai Ge's turn today. I didn't expect Senior Bai Ge to be discharged today. I accidentally let you escape." Kong put down the mop angrily. "It's not just me. When Senior Bai Ge was captured and taken to the lower city and when he was hospitalized, everyone took turns to clean up for you. What are you going to give me back?"

"Uh, I'm sorry to have troubled you all... How about I treat you all to dinner tonight?" Ling Dengxian tried to offset the labor with a meal.

"Plus cleaning for everyone for a week." Sora wasn't going to be fooled so easily.

"Okay..." Ling Dengxian still couldn't escape, but that was okay, he should fulfill this obligation.

"Senior Bai Ge, I heard that you are in charge of monitoring unusual movements in the lower city. Did you gain anything from this accident?" Kong looked at him as he took the mop and started to finish cleaning, sitting on the table beside him, swinging his legs in white boots and asked curiously.

"Does it count as being hospitalized for eating a bomb on your face?"

"Of course this doesn't count! Senior, please be serious. Over there, yes, the right side hasn't been dragged down at all."

"I'm serious already... I'm going to drag it there soon..."

"I'm saying that you should answer more seriously and pay attention to the key points." Kong said dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Ling Dengxian has always had a good impression of this attentive and cheerful junior. As a senior (although this senior has only a few days more seniority than her), she still needs to behave more reliable.

But we can’t delay people from getting familiar with their work.

"Kong, I actually joined Penguin Logistics not long before you. I am very happy that you are willing to call me a senior, but if you want to learn, you still have to learn from Texas and Croissant Sister. I am a fake." Ling Dengxian said honestly.

"Be it a year earlier or a day earlier, a senior is still a senior. Besides, the first day I met you... I always remember it." Kong suddenly showed a fascinated expression, and Ling Dengxian was puzzled.

"Can blowing up a building attract the opposite sex these days?"

"Haha, no! Senior Bai Ge, your train of thought is so weird." Kong laughed happily, "By the way, what did you come here for originally?"

"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. That bastard in my family has caused you a lot of trouble these past two days, right?" Ling Dengxian had just finished mopping the floor and put the mop into the cleaning bucket to call it a day.

"Chi Yu? He's very attached to Texas-senpai. He's been very well behaved and didn't cause any trouble." Kong also lived in the Group A dormitory and knew all about Chi Yu's visit.

"Little pervert... Oh, that's not right, it seems to be a female..." Ling Dengxian could tell that something was wrong with Chi Yu from the very beginning when he saw his "double standard" in treating him and Feng Di. He actually liked this kind of thing.

"No, Chi Yu is not as close to us as Senior Texas." Kong added as if he remembered something.

"Does it bite or scratch you?"

"Of course not."

"..." So this guy just doesn't like me?

"Let's get back to the topic. Senior Baige, do you have any idea about the downtown area? We will still encounter some 'accidents' in the urban area." Kong ended the previous topic.

"Accident? When?" Ling Dengxian couldn't help but wonder. He knew that Texas and the others were responsible for attracting attention in the city, but he had observed no unusual movements before and had no reaction until he and the enemy were face to face and attacking each other.

"Ah, it was last Friday, this Wednesday, and the week before last... We encountered pre-installed bombs on the route. Some were triggered and some were not." After hearing Kong report these time points, Ling Dengxian also seriously thought about whether there were any abnormal signs in the slums during these times.

No, absolutely not. It would be better to say that he and Lin Yuxia did not notice anything unusual until the encounter in the ruins broke out.

"There's really nothing special about it..." Ling Dengxian frowned.

"Is that so..." Kong was a little disappointed.

"Kong, are you done with your work...Ah, Bai Ge is discharged from the hospital!" Croissant pushed the door open and found two living people.

"That guy is discharged from the hospital?!" The short-haired Sakota girl with an "eye-catching" halo also poked her head out, and was a little disappointed when she saw that he was indeed full of energy.

"What's with that expression on your face?!" Ling Dengxian was very unhappy with her sudden change in demeanor.

"I'm happy for you. It's great that you don't have to be hospitalized. I was thinking if I could take the opportunity to visit you tomorrow while you're in the hospital so I can have a day off." The Angel didn't hide it at all, and even his smile was a little unhappy.

This guy is still arguing with me because of Mostima...

"Unfortunately, my temporary leader is still in hospital. I'm on vacation these days. You still have to go to work tomorrow, right?" Ling Dengxian replied to the Angel with a smile.

"...You still have to clean up anyway." Inspired by the mop in the bucket beside him, Angelus immediately changed his depressed look, "Tomorrow is the spring cleaning! You do it alone!"

"…Are you a kid? Don't we usually do spring cleaning on weekends? Why on Monday?"

"I changed it temporarily." Exia said with a smile.

"...I'll finish cleaning today." Ling Dengxian picked up the cleaning bucket and prepared to rush to the next "battlefield".

"Aren't you just being childish and angry?" Croissant was speechless.

"What are you doing again... Bai Ge is here, so let's make arrangements together." The Emperor and Texas, who was holding Chi Yu, appeared at the door together. The latter was helpless when he saw Ling Dengxian and the Angel of Energy like this.

"We have received a special mission tomorrow. We will cooperate with the Guard Bureau to track down several batches of smuggled materials. The main locations are the urban area and the outer ring area. Considering the recent abnormal phenomena, I believe that many 'bounty hunters' will appear. White Pigeon, you also have to participate."

"Okay." Ling Dengxian nodded straightforwardly. The emperor was quite nice to him.

"Boss, will there be commission this time?" Croissant asked a key question.

"Yes, it's calculated by the number of heads - of course, those bastards' heads still have to be placed on their necks, and the Guards will still have to conduct interrogations." The emperor waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to doubt this at all.

"We have more people, why don't Bai Ge act alone?" Texas interrupted. Ling Dengxian was stung by this, but quickly adjusted his mood: "I'm fine with it."

The emperor glanced at the abnormal Rupert, as if he saw something, and then looked deeply at Ling Dengxian, clearing his throat: "Bai Ge's tacit understanding with you is indeed a little lacking, but this time his ability to act alone may be a little insufficient..."

"But..." Texas stopped himself from saying the next words, frowning in doubt, and whispered, "What's going on..."

She is confident that she can cooperate well with Bai Ge...

"Listen to me. Officer Chen from the Longmen Guard Bureau will also be temporarily incorporated into our team. It will be no problem for her to be in a group with Bai Ge. That's it for today. Remember to get a good rest. Don't embarrass yourself in front of Wei Yanwu tomorrow."

Ling Dengxian glanced at Texas, then at Chi Yu, and finally said nothing more, just greeted everyone: "There is still some time left today, I will go to the Guard Bureau, they said that my visit may be helpful in the interrogation of the prisoners in the bombing incident."

Then he stepped out of the room, and the corner of his clothes caught on the door frame, making a brief scraping sound.
