Hello, Arknights

Chapter 183 Thoughts, Reappear

The scars in the mountains, rivers and moon can't be recovered in the long dream.

Ling Dengxian pondered over this sentence. The intention was very obvious and he understood it almost immediately because he was in this state of mind now. He couldn't return to his hometown and was hurt in a foreign land. After waking up, he felt confused as in a dream.

"A very remarkable person..." Ling Dengxian looked down at the two swords at his waist again, and once again thought of the "big man" that W had mentioned.

"Little crumbs."

"I'm here, host." The response came not too slowly.

"Ahem, you said you could see my dreams, right?"

"I didn't say that..." Xiao Xie smiled slightly, "I guess the host dreamed about me, right? What you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night, the host is relieved..."

"Really? I was still wondering why you were portrayed as a cute loli." Ling Dengxian pretended to be casual.

"Host, please don't test me." Xiaoxie's smile seemed to appear in front of him, and he said seriously, "Whether I am a loli or a rough man, these are insignificant matters. Host, you should focus on the present and think about how to save some tragedies."

"Little crumbs..."

"Host." Xiaoxie's voice paused and became a little lighter. "Dreams are just dreams. Don't take them seriously."

Ling Dengxian's pupils shrank. There was no evidence, but he understood that Xiaoxie could see his dreams.

In other words...is his extremely real "dream" really a dream?

After Xiaoxie left, he sat in the hut for a while. Finally, he sighed and fell asleep again with his swollen temples.

He really didn't want to be idle, but he was indeed sick.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Ling opened his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

"Bai Ge, I'm Tallulah. I heard that Ino had an accident... Are you okay? I came to see you." Before Ling Dengxian could say anything, the person outside the door had already stated his purpose.

To Tallulah, this wooden door was no different from a paper-pasted one, but she still needed to ask the owner and respect his privacy.

Ling Dengxian responded, then cheered up and opened the door.

It was the first time that the silver-haired dragon girl saw his residence. Although it was not big from the outside, when she actually saw the layout inside, Tallulah's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

"Leader... do you want to come in?" Ling Dengxian also knew that the small room was like this, so he asked helplessly.

"Let's just... wait and see... after all, I'm here to visit you. Alina heard that you fell into the river while saving Ino, and she's very worried about you." Talula walked into the house, and she and he sat cross-legged on each side of the wooden board. When she mentioned Alina, her expression became much more relaxed, presumably because the latter's condition had improved.

"Thanks to everyone, it's just a cold." Ling Dengxian suppressed the urge to cough and smiled.

"Although it's spring, it's different from Yan Country. It will take another month or two for the temperature to warm up here," Tallulah said with a slightly reproachful look. "Although this is to save people, you can't just go into the water casually when you encounter other situations in the future because you are a good swimmer and have good physical fitness. The rivers in Ursus swallow up many water experts every year."

Ling Dengxian waved his hand: "Of course, I can't swim at all."

"That's good..." Tallulah was silent, "Wait, what did you say?"

"I can't swim, otherwise I would have come ashore early this time."

"You...you dare to go into the water to save someone when you can't swim?!" Tallulah raised her eyebrows, "Are you an idiot?!"

"I didn't think too much at the time... I thought the water wasn't very deep, and I was a little anxious, so I went in." Ling Dengxian scratched his head. Of course, the nine-year compulsory education taught him how to deal with the problem of rescuing drowning people, but at the time his eyesight was not good and he didn't observe the water environment, so he was reckless.

I'm sorry, teacher... I won't do it again next time. Ling Dengxian spent three seconds reflecting on his problem.

"You...really, I don't know what to say to you..." Tallulah was also helpless, "How different is this from driving without a license?"

Ling Dengxian looked away: "..."

"...You wouldn't really do that, right?" Tallulah felt that the reliable image of Ling Dengxian in her mind was changing little by little.

"Uh...Xuanlang can drive." Ling Dengxian answered tactfully.

"...I don't know which unlucky guy has ridden in the car you drove..." Tallulah shook her head, updating her impression of Ling Dengxian.

Chen, who was far away in Longmen, sneezed and wondered, "Do you have a cold? Go back and take some medicine."

"Officer Chen." Li Boli knocked on her office door. "Governor Wei asked me to hand over this document to the Guard Bureau. It's related to the layout of the new city."

"Thank you for your hard work, Jiang Sa. But next time, remember to give these documents to Shi Huaiya. Beatrice Shi Huaiya is in charge of these."

"Okay, Officer Chen... But Officer Chen, I heard that you know Ling... Mr. Bai Ge, do you know where he has gone?" Jiang Sa asked carefully.

"He... I don't know either, he didn't tell me." When this name was mentioned, Chen frowned, a strange feeling emerged, and a little annoyance surfaced.

"Okay, excuse me." Jiang Sa retreated immediately when he saw something was wrong.

Chen wasn't sure what was going on with this feeling, but as long as he didn't think about Ling Dengxian, it would be fine.

"It's too stressful..." Chen Zheng wanted to get up and buy a drink, but the screen of the communication terminal lit up and vibrated on the desktop.

"Fiona?" Chen felt a little unbelievable and answered the call.

"Are you...are you Fiona?"

"Ah? Chen Chen, didn't you give me any notes?" Bagpipe on the other end was stunned, a little confused.

"No... I'm just a little relieved that you can use the communication terminal."

"Chen Chen! That's too much!" Bagpipe was in tears.

"Okay, what's up?"

"Ah, I'm on vacation now, and I plan to come visit you and Xianxian to give him a surprise, so I contacted you first."

"Ah... He's not here. He left Longmen. Why did I immediately know who 'Xianxian' was..."

"Ah? Where did he go again?" Bagpipe was dumbfounded.

"I don't know, but there's no need to worry, right? He's such a grown-up, and it's a bit of a headache that he dares to go on the road, but there shouldn't be any other problems... He can't go into the water when he can't swim, right?" Chen complained.

"Is that so... Then I'll come over to see you, Chenchen, otherwise you'll accuse me of being biased." Fengpi scratched his head.

"Then aren't you afraid that Ling Dengxian will be unhappy?"

"Xiao Xian won't be unhappy." Feng Di seemed to mind Chen's complaints, so he stopped calling Ling "Xian Xian". "Besides, maybe I will have to ask him why he ran away without saying a word."

"Forget it... I won't interfere in your affairs - where are you staying when you come?"

"Live with you, Chen-Chen!"

"alright."

Ling Dengxian sneezed in Ursus and immediately apologized to Tallulah with an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry! It came so suddenly that I couldn't help it..."

"It's okay. I have strong resistance." Tallulah shook her head. "I actually have something to ask of you this time."

"What's the matter?" Ling Dengxian asked seriously.

"Although I know you are in logistics, I can see that you are very capable. Mr. Patriot just shared intelligence with me. We may have to move our position..."

"We need a group of people to go to the new location in advance to survey the environment and build a camp. I hope you can accompany the team as a guarantee for protection."

The silver eyes lit up along with the rising sun behind the dragon girl, and both of them straightened their backs involuntarily. Ling Dengxian understood that from this moment on he had truly joined the integration movement.

She is actually in front of the Patriots? Ling Dengxian has already learned that the current Patriots have not recognized Tallulah yet, but only allowed her to act together.

"Okay, Leader." Ling Dengxian said seriously.

Gantry.

"I say... when are you leaving? Aren't you in any hurry at all?" The Sarkaz woman in a red dress said with some dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you say at the beginning that you wanted to take a rest?" Wu didn't really want to pay attention to this guy. He just looked at the "new city area" that was slowly changing under his feet, and for some reason he felt a little reluctant to leave.

"I've had a good rest." W rolled his eyes. "Now I'm afraid if we dawdle any longer, that bastard will run off to some other place once we get to Ursus."

"...Okay, let's go today." Wu also made a decision. He has not forgotten the task assigned to him by the general.
