Someone in Arknights, Starts as Griseo

Update. It won't be as late as Chapter 2 tonight.

Alright, goodnight, you guys.

Bounty Announcement

After much thought, I've decided to launch the bounty event early.

This bounty has no upper limit and will run until Thursday night next week, as I'll be officially launching the paid chapters next Friday.

The bounty rules are as follows:

150 Monthly Votes + 1 Chapter Update 100 Blade Points + 1 Chapter Update 10000 Reward Points + 1 Chapter Update

If the quantity is large, I'll gradually fulfill them and won't flake. (Though I don't expect it to be that much.)

That's all for now, thank you for your support.

Chapter 45: Mission Explanation

"..."

Sakura weaved through the forest with agile and light movements, searching for any trace of the enemy while simultaneously minimizing her own tracks.

After all, in a forest covered in silver frost, it was far too easy to leave traces, and it wouldn't be good if someone detected them.

However, so far, she hadn't found anything unusual, nor had she sensed any strange aura.

But it was also possible that the enemy hadn't arrived yet, or that Sakura's search direction was wrong...

All she could say was that the area was simply too vast; even with her senses, it would take some time to investigate.

It would be great if Griseo could help. Although the little loli wasn't particularly skilled, having her assistance would speed things up considerably. What a shame.

As she thought this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Sakura's blue eyes. She then put away her thoughts and continued to focus on her actions.

On the way back to the warehouse, as expected, Griseo received many curious glances. She had grown quite accustomed to it.

After all, besides being here, even when she was in the Reunion camp, she would be stared at by other Infected if she appeared before them.

Moreover, Griseo didn't have the time to care about such things right now. She was currently contemplating how much she could get involved in Sakura's limited-time mission.

Direct intervention was definitely out of the question, otherwise, the "limited-time" aspect would lose its meaning. But when it came to gathering information... she wasn't sure how far she could go.

The ambiguity of the system's missions filled Griseo with internal conflict. She feared that if she accidentally did too much, she might ruin the mission entirely.

That would be a huge loss, and the little loli would be heartbroken...

Furthermore, the Divine Key, Seven Thunders of Purification, was a perfect match for Sakura. It could even be said that in the previous civilization, it was one of Sakura's two signature weapons.

In the previous civilization, Sakura had two swords. One was named Frozen Hell Ice Sky, used to target Honkai and deal with Honkai enemies.

The other was the Divine Key Seven Thunders of Purification in its sword form. She used this sword to target humans, for cleaning house, executing traitors, and so on.

Therefore, Griseo was determined not to miss out on the mission rewards this time. There was a significant difference between having a good weapon and not having one.

However, just as the little loli was caught in her internal struggle, the system's voice sounded again...

[Exclusive missions must be completed by the exclusive character. Other characters are not allowed to interfere with core mission actions such as protecting the target group or repelling enemies.]

"???)"

The system's sudden prompt caused Griseo to stop in her tracks, her entire body freezing in surprise.

However, after she processed it, a flicker of joy appeared in her violet eyes.

In Griseo's opinion, this system notification had come at the perfect time. It had instantly resolved her internal conflict. Now, she could fully focus on how to assist Sakura.

After all, the system's meaning was clear: as long as she didn't touch the core aspects of the exclusive mission, it was fine. Things like assisting in searching for information were perfectly acceptable.

Subsequently, Griseo mentally contacted her companions.

However, upon learning that both Mr. Wolf and the Attendant were busy helping, she temporarily abandoned the idea of troubling them. She then set her sights on two other companions.

"Uncle Tyrant, Sister Madam, could you please come and help?"

As Griseo spoke, the Crimson Tyrant and the elegant Madam appeared beside her simultaneously, awaiting their little princess's command.

"Go and help Sakura sister, and investigate the surrounding situation."

Saying this, Griseo turned to look at the two companions behind her and spoke softly.

After the little loli finished speaking, both of them nodded gently, agreeing to her request.

"Oh, right, if you find any enemies, don't engage them..." Just as the Tyrant and Madam were about to leave, Griseo lightly clapped her hands and reminded them.

As she said this, her gaze remained fixed on the Crimson Tyrant, her intention clear.

Griseo was somewhat worried that her hot-tempered Uncle Tyrant might once again choose to charge headfirst into battle upon encountering enemies... If that happened, this mission would likely be doomed.

"..."

The Tyrant hesitated for a moment after sensing the gaze of her little princess upon her before nodding.

Afterward, the two bowed elegantly to Griseo before parting ways in different directions.

Watching her two companions leave, the little loli once again lifted her small feet and continued walking towards the warehouse.

However, the little loli didn't try to hide the fact that she was dispatching two companions to investigate this matter, so many Infected saw it.

The gazes of these Infected towards Griseo became even more complex, with some even showing fear and dread.

While Griseo didn't care about their stares, the murky colors behind them already made her feel a bit uncomfortable… there were signs of contamination.

Sensing this, her pace quickened considerably…

Reunion Camp—

"Talulah! A Yeti has returned, and he needs to see you right away!"

Alina, who had just received the news, rushed into Talulah's tent from outside and quickly said.

Talulah, who had been formulating a migration plan in the tent, looked up immediately upon hearing her friend's words.

But she didn't see anyone other than the little deer, and asked with some confusion, "Where is he? Hurry and let him in."

"Phew… he went to find Patriot. They should be here soon." Alina explained after catching her breath.

Hearing this, Talulah nodded gently, then asked nervously in her now somewhat dry voice, "Okay… we'll wait then. Did something happen?"

Alina's words were too misleading, making Talulah start to get nervous. In fact… though unwilling, she had already prepared herself to hear terrible news.

"Pfft~ Don't worry. Yelena and the others are fine. In fact, it's good news. And little Griseo is also fine and staying with them right now."

Although it was indeed her fault for not explaining clearly, Alina couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Talulah's reaction.

"...It's good that they're okay. Alina, you scared me!"

Hearing her friend's laughter, Talulah paused for a moment before reacting and then complained helplessly to Alina.

ps: It's almost chapter 30, that's terrifying. Alright, let's keep pushing.

Next, I'll recommend a book:

"The Bad Women Regretted It After My Death"

Fang Ling, the Mad God, is dead. This news made all of humanity rejoice because humanity did not thank Fang Ling.

As everyone knows, after Fang Ling eliminated the Sitting-and-Forgetting Immortals, killed the Outer Demons, and brought about the Twilight of the Gods, humanity once again became the masters of the world—if it weren't for her.

Therefore, everyone was satisfied with this outcome, except for the bad women who had thoroughly exploited Fang Ling:

The last remaining Immortal in the world spends her days reminiscing about her childhood with Fang Ling, regretting how they slowly drifted apart and how she sacrificed herself to obliterate the Heavenly Dao.

The princess of a fallen ancient kingdom is obsessed with searching for traces of Fang Ling, regretting not cherishing their journey together and regretting how she induced Fang Ling to take revenge on the gods.

The number one assassin in the world lays down her butcher's knife to cultivate herself for Fang Ling, regretting that she was always by her side but betrayed her out of a craving for her flesh and blood.

In the end, these bad women decide to go back to the past, back to the time when they could still embrace their lover.

However, the Fang Ling of today will no longer open her heart to them.

Chapter 46 Contamination

"We… we're here, Talulah."

After a short while, Patriot's hoarse, slightly stammering voice echoed from outside Talulah's tent.

Hearing this, Talulah stood up and walked to the entrance, lifting the tent flap to greet them, "Come in."

"Forgive my intrusion…"

Looking at Talulah before him, Patriot nodded gently before entering the tent with the Yeti following behind her.

"Please, have a seat."

Seeing the two arrive, Alina smiled and pulled out two other chairs from the table.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Alina."

After expressing their thanks, the two didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly in the chairs.

After they were seated, Talulah also returned to her original position and sat down.

"Phew… So, what exactly happened, Andrei? Why is only you back after such a long time? And what about Griseo?"

After exhaling deeply, Talulah looked sternly at the Yeti Andrei before her and began to question him.

As the Dragon Girl spoke, the other two also turned their gaze to the only Yeti who had returned.

Sensing all eyes on him, Andrei helplessly spread his hands and began to explain the current situation.

"That's a long story. Let's talk about the current situation first. Big Sister is leading the brothers, and they have already occupied the target mine and rescued a large number of Infected."

"I've come back this time to ask for help, because that mine has a lot of supplies, and there are too many infected… we can't bring it all back with just the Yeti Squad."

After saying this, Andrei paused, not rushing to continue. He wanted to give the others some time to process.

"...Alright, I understand. But how did you manage to occupy the mine? As far as I know, this mine isn't small."

Talulah, after listening to Andrei's account, pondered for a moment before continuing her question.

Hearing this, Andrei suddenly put on a wry, almost comical expression in front of everyone, before continuing, "Ah, that goes back to that little kid, Griseo. We were able to take over the mine directly this time, all thanks to her."

"Griseo?"

Upon hearing the name of someone she cared deeply about, Alina raised an eyebrow slightly, a flicker of surprise quickly crossing her eyes.

Although Alina had already heard from Andrei that her Griseo was fine.

She was still a bit surprised to hear that the little one was so heavily involved in occupying the mine.

"Yes, Griseo followed us the entire time during our operation yesterday, and then snuck all the way to the mine. The main thing is, we didn't notice her at all. In the end, it was the little one who voluntarily revealed herself."

As he spoke, Andrei couldn't help but cover his face with his hand, hiding his wry expression.

No matter how many times he said it, he always felt that this operation was a bit surreal, but it felt pretty good, even kind of cool.

"And then, the little one wouldn't just expose herself so simply, right?"

At this moment, a hint of helplessness appeared on Talulah's face.

Honestly, she wasn't too surprised anymore by the things Griseo could do...

But when Talulah thought about it carefully, ever since that little one arrived at their camp, so many things had changed from how they were before.

So she was almost getting used to this kind of thing happening.

After listening to Talulah, Andrei nodded gently and continued:

"Yes, that little one voluntarily exposed herself to Ivan and the other one, and then had her Tyrant deal with the attacking enemies. Finally... she launched a surprise attack on the mine."

"Then, Ivan and the other one sent out a signal, calling Big Sister and us over to handle the aftermath... Griseo is very strong, no, it should be said that her companions are really strong."
