Just as she was thinking about it, she saw not far ahead, a... er, a small doll of unknown species was moving towards the wall little by little.
The eyes are made of buttons, the round body is covered with bandages but still cannot cover the leaking cotton-like fibers, and the wide-open mouth is sewn with needles and threads of unknown function.
The moving doll is really here.
Xia Wan sighed slightly, stopped there until the doll approached and asked softly: "Little Moti, do you have to work again tonight?"
Hearing this, little Moti looked up at her, waved his bear-like and starfish-like hands in response, the two kitchen knives on them reflected the bright light, and then continued on its journey unsteadily.
This is a scene that can only be seen occasionally in Rhodes Island at night. Although this doll, little Morte, looks dangerous, it should only do some small work for its friends, such as tearing down other people's Pranks like chairs—it seems so, but in fact these are hallucinations that appear under the influence of some kind of spiritual Originium skill...or something else, little Mo can’t tell It can move, and the chair will not break by itself. When its friends sleep at night, sometimes they can't control their Originium skills, and spread this very weak spiritual hint to a wide area.
Compared to this, Xia Wan is more concerned about the position she is standing in now, the door of the Yan Kingdom on the wall beside her, which is simple in shape and very incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Obviously, there were still clean walls yesterday.
She remembered that this door should appear in a "remote" corridor in Rhodes Island. This place is not remote at all. Not only are people coming and going during the day, but it takes less than 2 minutes to walk back. her dormitory.
Maybe, she actually became neighbors with the operator inside the door.
Want to go in and say hello?still......
Xia Wan raised her hand and pressed it on the doorknob, frowned and thought for a while, then silently withdrew her hand.
Forget it, let's talk about such small things when we have a chance, the most important thing now is to fill our stomachs, the nasty doctor won't let her buy convenience food, she has been hungry until now, and even the small snacks in the drawer are almost eaten up.
So, she walked quickly towards the cafeteria again.
In the cafeteria in the middle of the night, several large locks were installed on the door in order to prevent uninvited guests, which seemed difficult to unlock, but this kind of thing not only could not stop the uninvited guest, but also could not stop Xia Wan.
The red light on the damaged black box flickered, and the locks snapped open, and she entered the empty cafeteria effortlessly, and groped skillfully in the dark to the kitchen.
Among the operators in Rhodes Island, there are very few who are good at cooking and like to cook. Most of them set up a bonfire in the wild and put the meat aside, so that they can eat and not die.
Enriching her personality with cooking skills, and buying the hearts of these operators by the way, is undoubtedly the most successful one of Xia Wan's strategies. After a year of training, her current level can be said to be excellent. Lost to those few operators who were particularly good at cooking.
She opened the freezer to check the ingredients left in the cafeteria, and checked whether the condiments and other bottles and jars were eaten up by uninvited guests who would sneak in every now and then, and then picked out the ones that were going to be used soon The meat and vegetables are placed on the chopping board and the black box is used to quickly defrost all these ingredients.
But what she didn't realize was that just as she was humming a song and making preparations, the uninvited guest who she said often came to the cafeteria late at night to steal condiments was lying on the windows of the kitchen and cafeteria , blinking his eyes and shrugging his nose, looked at her expectantly.
"Well~, it's a little bit spicy, but it's a pity that there is no..."
While tasting the stew she made, Xia Wan turned around and met the expectant gaze.
"...Xiao Ke, do you want to eat?"
She looked at Ceobe whose saliva was about to flow to the window sill, and passed the plate of stew in her hand, which made the pair of dumb golden animal ears on the top of Ceobe's head that were shaking all of a sudden become even stronger. Happy.
If you come to the cafeteria at this time, you will meet this Pero girl who is always hungry about once out of three times, so Xia Wan is not too surprised that she will appear here.
That is, if you encounter it, you have to cook about...five times the amount of food.
The experience of feeding Ceobe countless times allowed Xia Wan to accurately grasp her appetite and taste preferences——Yes, although she is like most operators think as long as she likes food , but she also has a more biased taste.
For example, the honey cakes that will be recorded in the operator's file, and the occasional desserts that Xia Wan will make for her.
But not this time, neither honey cakes nor desserts are things that can be made casually in the middle of the night. Xia Wan plans to make some less time-consuming and sweeter dishes for her.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Sitting next to Keobe, Xia Wan watched with her own eyes that she wiped out a table full of meals that took more than an hour to cook in just 10 minutes, and she didn't even have time to eat two bites. Some helplessly sighed in the bottom of my heart, and asked, "Is it delicious? If it's not enough, I'll make it again."
"Yeah! Sure enough, the food you cook is delicious! Satisfied, satisfied~"
Ceobe smiled brightly and patted her bulging belly, shaking her head, the two ears on the top of her head were pulled down limply, and suddenly stood up again: "That's right, that's right, I listen to that , a black-haired person said that if you do this, other people will be happy."
Then he jumped off the chair, ran to the puzzled Xia Wan, opened his hands and gave her a big hug, and a kiss aimed precisely at her lips.
"Paradise, thank you~"
This kiss is full of grease that hasn't been wiped off at all.
Chapter 32 Short Conversation
brilliant...
Without even thinking about it, she was the only black-haired guy who would teach Ceobe, or other naive and ignorant Operators.
After Xia Wan dragged her exhausted and hungry body back to her dormitory, while washing off the stew smell on her body, she sighed in her heart about the pranks of her fellow elite operators.
This guy is good at everything, but he is too noisy in every sense. It can be said that among all the elite operators who often show up on Rhode Island's main ship, Xia Wan is the worst at dealing with her, which is a bit out of character the taste of.
Moreover, Huang is... how should I put it, a believer in Rhodes Island?Diehard?It doesn't feel right to say that. In short, she belongs to the type who is very fanatical about what Rhode Island is doing now, the ideals they are pursuing, and some ideals. Among the members of Rhodes Island who gave their lives, they are the ones who are at the forefront.
How would such a person view a betrayer?
—————No, no no no no.
Xia Wan also knew that maybe she was too pessimistic. She knew enough about most of the combat operators on Rhodes Island, including Huang, who was the most active. Maybe this always careless film girl didn't care about her betrayals at all. Behavior will only look at actual actions.
But maybe, he has already stepped on Huang's red line.
Among the operators that Xia Wan plans to contact gradually, Huang is definitely the group that ranks relatively low. However, the priority of this matter is very low among the things that need to be worried about at present, so it is okay to leave it alone for the time being.
What really needs to be resolved immediately is Victoria's side.
"Tomorrow's Ark" is about to start a new main plot, and she needs to decide as soon as possible whether she wants to participate in this plot—first, she has to talk to Outcast.
Let's hope that Outcast hasn't left the island yet.
Early the next morning, before the doctor came to make trouble, Xia Wan left the dormitory.
She has to keep a clear mind and a clean mind in order to face the terrifyingly sharp Outcast.
That's right, even though she realized that she was manipulated by the doctor at will yesterday when she was in bed together, and almost handed over her body, she still forced herself to put these unpleasant things behind her.
Speaking of which, who told the doctor about the tail?
Can an angel?Ifrit? ...or is it Huang again?
No, no.
Xia Wan shook her head, cleared these distracting thoughts from her mind, and knocked on the door of Outcast's office that used to be hers.
"Early in the morning, those who still have this leisurely mind, the door is unlocked, come in."
Outcast's voice came from inside the door, good news, she hasn't left for Victoria yet.
Xia Wan pushed the door open as she said, and said to Outcast with a smile: "Good morning, I brought a raisin cake that goes with black tea. I made it myself. Come and try it?"
Last night, after Ceobe went back with a full meal, Xia Wan was busy preparing the cake in her hand before returning to the dormitory, so she was too tired to prepare meals for herself.
It seems that even if the mind is not very clear, what should be done can still be done well.
Outcast, who was leaning on the office chair and didn't seem to be working, lingered on Xia Wan's face for a moment, and then smiled a little: "Thank you, then let me make black tea."
"Well, it's a pity that I didn't get to taste it last time."
"A little bit of bitterness is just right, but too sweet is counterproductive. How about letting me make it for you this time?"
As Outcast said, she had brewed two cups of black tea quickly, and began to add some evaporated milk and sugar to her own black tea... Is that amount okay?
It seems that it is not a good choice for Outcast, who has a strong preference for sweets, to brew black tea for himself, but Xia Wan has no choice now, so he can only reply with a smile: "Thank you very much, in fact, I am not very good at brewing tea I usually just drink instant drinks like coffee and cocoa.”
"That's good too, but I hope this cup will make you like black tea."
While talking, Outcast had already put the black tea in front of Xia Wan. The light brown tea soup looked exquisite and clear, as if there were no additives.
After taking a sip, the slight milky aroma mixed with a little bitterness, followed by the fragrance of tea leaves, just instantly made her smile sincerely: "It's really good, it's the first time I've had such a delicious black tea. "
"Just like it." Outcast sat opposite Xia Wan, took a sip of his cup of black tea that seemed to be heaped with sugar, and then asked, "Why do you have time to come to me today, and you don't have to go to Du Did Bin train there?"
"Yes, there is a little something."
After a pause, Xia Wan continued: "Actually, I've been thinking about visiting Victoria recently. After all, you see, I'm no longer an elite operator. I'm alone, and I don't have much to do in Rhodes Island. Why don't you take this opportunity? Go out for a stroll, can you recommend me some city-states worth visiting?"
Hearing this, Outcast stopped what he was doing, and stared at her with a hint of surprise: "...Before that, can I ask, why Victoria?"
"I know Victoria is not safe right now, but I can still protect myself for the time being."
"If you insist, don't go to Londinium, find some small and medium-sized city-states to visit, and then come back quickly—let me suggest, but what you want to talk to me should be... um , let me guess, when will Rhodes Island officially get involved in Victoria's affairs?"
With a smile, Outcast directly pointed out what Xia Wan didn't say.
"...As expected of an Outcast, I can't hide it."
Originally, I was just trying to see if I could get some words out of Outcast's mouth. It's okay to fail. Xia Wan admitted without any surprise: "Yes, the doctor and Amiya refused to talk at all, which gave me a headache. .”
"What an interesting thought. What makes you think that I must know, and tell you?"
"If Rhodes Island wants to participate in Victoria's affairs, it must do its best. At least all the elite operators will be mobilized before the official entry. At present, the only elite operator I can talk to is you."
"But I'm retired?"
Outcast took a bite of the raisin cake made by Xia Wan, and the rich cream wrapped in just the right amount of sweet and sour made her very happy: "I have heard that your cooking skills are good, but after actually eating it, I am really surprised. "
"Even if it's a retired elite operator, but I'm talking about Outcast right now, you wouldn't want to sit in this office and get moldy, would you?"
The conversation was reaching a critical moment, Xia Wan didn't have the heart to taste cakes and black tea at all, and could only concentrate on watching Outcast.
However, Outcast laughed heartily: "It's really strange to chat with someone who has only met twice, but who knows him well enough."
Then, she changed the subject: "I came to the door early in the morning with the cake I made last night, and I just wanted this delicious cake. What information should I give you? Kelsey's transfer order has come down, let me wait a month later. Going to Victoria, is that enough?"
"...Thank you very much."
It was easier than expected, Xia Wan bowed her head softly in thanks.
She thought she needed to talk for a while, but Outcast just said it without asking what she wanted the information for.
Just as Xia Wan was thinking about how much Outcast knew about her, the door of the office was pushed open by beeswax, and a slight sound brought her back to her senses.
Chapter 33
The new main plot of "Tomorrow's Ark".
To be precise, after the core city of Chernobog defeated Tallulah who was possessed by the black snake, the main storyline that came a long time ago revolved around the civil strife in Verolia. Series of conflicts and games.
Just like the image of the protagonist that is deliberately portrayed in many games, Rhodes Island is taking a royal route of seeking peace and answers in the cracks. They have passed through Chernobog and the Dragon Gate, and now they come to Arrived in Victoria.
And the place where the first shot of the civil strife in Victoria, which is currently dark and unclear, was fired was the medium-sized mobile city-state of Victoria, where Outcast was about to take office, Hill County.
To be honest, what happened in Xiaoqiu County, this war that swept the three parties and spread to the entire city-state, Rhodes Island is just a passer-by, wandering on the edge of the war, and the retreat alone has already paid a heavy price. There is no way to influence the course of the war, and there is no way to reverse the doomed result from the beginning.
Everything is like a reenactment of the Chernobog rescue operation.
I am afraid that only by sending all the elite operatives in Rhodes Island to Xiaoqiu County will it be possible to interfere with the other two huge forces, but this is obviously unrealistic. Victoria, an ordinary medium-sized mobile city-state like Xiaoqiu County There are more than 40 seats. Neither Victoria nor the forces that compete with Victoria regard it as a game point. The same is true for Rhodes Island. Kelsey is not omnipotent. Even if she has already noticed, she still needs many elites. Only the information brought back by the operators can determine where the war will break out.
If it were Xia Wan before, the Rhodes Island elite operator [Paradise], she would not choose to participate in this losing war——people always have to make trade-offs, this paragraph is just to use The plot used as an introduction does not need to be rewritten, and there is no suitable reason to rewrite it. It is not her who should shine in Xiaoqiu County. If [Paradise] is active in all the main plots, it will steal the limelight from other operators and save them. All the characters that should have died, what she will face in the future is a "Tomorrow's Ark" that has completely deviated from the established route in her mind, and things are not that simple, the correction power that limits her power will also work Regarding these big events that are destined to happen, the evidence is that she once tried to directly erase the black snake in Tallulah's body but ended in failure.
Compared with this, it is more reasonable to stay on the main ship of Rhodes Island and wait for the core main plot that happened in Londinium.
but now.
The plan has been completely disrupted. She must do her best to restore her reputation among the players. She doesn't know how she will be shaped in the game, so she can only take advantage of the fact that the points she has earned in the past year have not yet Gone completely, hoping it's not too late.
At the same time, they also need to prove to Rhodes Island that what they said is true and seek further cooperation.
Therefore, even if the plot of "Tomorrow's Ark" will change, she will enter a completely strange world, facing the insurmountable mountain of correction power, she will participate in it in a more direct and violent way than before.
Now, there is still one month before the incident in Xiaoqiu County.
There is not enough time, there are many things to do, and we must start as soon as possible.
"...What is this, a vacation application?"
At noon, after dealing with the busy work all morning, the doctor, who was about to take a break, frowned and looked at a document that appeared in his hand at some time, and subconsciously read it in front of him.
On this thin piece of paper, under the big characters of the vacation application, the words "operator [Paradise] apply for annual leave for a period of two months" are clearly written, and there is also Paradise's signature at the bottom. It was her handwriting, beautiful and regular, as if it had been carved with a typewriter except for some minor habits.
"Did you think it was a request for leave from elementary school? This guy, if you want to ask for leave, just go through the approval process honestly."
The doctor put the leave note into the drawer speechlessly.
Operators in Rhodes Island have a corresponding vacation every year, which is the so-called annual leave, which is generally used to allow the operators to deal with some private matters that have to leave Rhodes Island. Or if you are planning to go to a special place, the approval will be passed quickly.
Of course, Paradise will not work.
After thinking for a while, the doctor suddenly thought of the conversation they had in the office the day before yesterday, and his face suddenly became more serious.
She has a special position. In this special period, it is even possible to go to a special place. It is really rare to have all three o'clock—although there are no such reasons and she is not going to let her leave the island.
