Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Knight? Let me think about it... ahem, a knight is a noble person who illuminates the entire earth. How about this answer?"

Imitating Margaret's tone, Beichen answered seriously.

"Hahaha, is that the answer? It's a pity that I want to hear your answer, not Margaret's."

Russell smiled and shook his head before speaking.

How should I answer then? I can't just copy the original text from the history book and say something like "originally referred to cavalrymen who had received formal military training in the Middle Ages, and later evolved into an honorary title used to indicate a social class."

Oh no, this is not Terra's history book, it's Earth's.

"My answer? Of course it's justice. I think these two words are enough to sum it up."

"Haha, this is really an answer suitable for young people. But it's enough."

So... that's it? You brought me here with all that effort just to ask me this question?

Of course there is more to it than that, Russell soon revealed his true intentions.

"In the name of the Supervisory Council, I would like to reach a cooperation agreement with you personally, or in other words, propose a deal that has nothing to do with Rhodes Island."

Turning around, Russell spoke in a serious tone.

But her attitude always seemed a little strange.

"Ma'am, I don't think there's anything about me that you guys would take me so seriously. In the name of the Supervisory Committee? I'm afraid even Rhodes Island doesn't have the qualifications. What's more, I'm just an ordinary employee of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals."

Beichen shrugged and said that this did not mean rejection, but he hoped that the other party would reveal more information and intelligence.

Of course Russell thought of this. She nodded, then picked up her terminal and tapped the screen a few times. At the same time, the terminal in Beichen's pocket vibrated.

Sent me a message?

Beichen took out the terminal and found that an anonymous file had been received and could be browsed now.

I grass!

Beichen's expression changed suddenly, because the content of this document was indeed a little too sensitive for him.

"You guys also went to investigate me? When did it start?"

All publicly available information about Beichen, as well as a very small amount of non-public information, are contained in this document.

Although it is only a small amount of non-public information, if it is leaked, it will be enough to attract the attention of most forces.

"Please forgive our rudeness. This is all the information we have about you. The investigation started after you defeated the Rusted Bronze Knight."

Russell did not hide anything about these things. Since she dared to admit that she had been targeting Beichen for a long time, she must have some other tricks up her sleeve.

"Oh, this is a bit troublesome. Please forgive me for the rudeness of what I am going to say next."

Beichen scratched his head and continued speaking.

"That's why I don't like dealing with old foxes like you. I always feel like my underwear has been seen through, even though I haven't hidden much."

"So, are you interested in negotiating a deal with the Supervisory Council now, Mr. Beichen? I guarantee in the name of the Casimir Supervisory Council that this is a deal that is completely beneficial to you without any disadvantages."

Russell said with a smile.

"But, I refuse."

"..................?"

"Since you have investigated me, you know that I am not someone who plays by the rules."

Beichen shrugged and said.

There's nothing else to it, it's just that Beichen felt a little uncomfortable with being investigated, so it's reasonable to refuse with this reason.

Something is wrong. According to the results of the investigation, as long as the other party is given enough benefits, things should go on easily.

"Are you really not going to think about it again?"

Russell frowned. The person in front of him was indeed capable and would most likely cause irreparable interference to the plan, and it would be difficult for him to intervene.

"No need for that. I will follow my own ideas this time. And I feel that my plan may be a little better than yours."

Beichen said this as he turned around and prepared to leave.

Russell was ready to try to keep him, or even threaten him.

But Beichen took two steps, then suddenly turned around and spoke.

"Don't worry too much. I think the final results should be similar. And as I said myself, justice is the course of action I adhere to."

"If you want to spy on me, feel free to do so, because I can always sense it. Also, I have something I want to show you."

Beichen suddenly remembered that he had received a nice collection tonight. He wondered what expression the lady in front of him would have when he showed it to her.

Russell stared at Beichen's eyes for a long time, as if he was confirming something. After a long time, he finally asked.

“……………What is it?”

"Hey, I don't think you can't recognize this thing."

Beichen took out this object of unusual size from his pocket in a strange way.

"........................"

If Russell didn't know this thing, she wouldn't be in her current position.

"Haha, are you interested in knowing where this thing came from? Hehe, if you ask, I found it on the side of the road and no one wanted it."

Beichen really didn't lie when he said this. Just tell me if he picked it up and no one wants it, or if the other party lost it himself.

"...............That's not necessary. Please take care. Do you need me to arrange for someone to take you back?"

Now Russell just wanted to send this guy home as soon as possible. She needed to think carefully, alone.

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am, but this is not necessary. After all, I can fly."

Then Beichen took off from the spot so cleanly and neatly and flew away.

It feels quite abstract.

The backup plan that had been prepared long ago to fight with Beichen was completely useless because someone was simply unwilling to discuss this deal with them, and it had been like this from the very beginning.

"That is the weapon of the Dark Iron Lord... How did he get it? It's unbelievable."

The priority level must be raised, although the original level is already high enough.

"Ma'am, should the investigation continue?"

A voice came from somewhere and asked.

"Put it on hold for now, but we need to replace the surveillance personnel with the C3 team you are leading."

"I understand, and then......"

The sound of something falling interrupted their conversation.

"This is..........?"

Russell picked up the thing on the ground and looked at it in his hand.

"Ma'am, that's my pen, I kept it in my coat pocket... I don't know when it disappeared from my pocket, at least not ten minutes ago."

Oh, it’s a warning.

Russell understood it immediately.
