Making a Spectacle of Oneself
Perhaps I'm being too sensitive.
Just like you said, this story is very meaningful.
Rhodes Island's inheritance of Theresa's will is indeed a continuation of civilization.
I'm a little tired now and need to take a nap...
Could you please organize these documents for me? I'll come back to review them tomorrow.
After saying that, Kal'tsit rubbed her forehead and walked out of the office while Amiya looked on with concern.
A moment later, the door was pushed open, Closure walked in carrying a stack of reports.
"Kal'tsit, here are some forms, take a look... Hmm, Amiya, what are you doing here?"
"Dr. Kal'tsit isn't feeling well, she's gone to rest. You can leave your things here; she'll see them tomorrow," Amiya said, pointing to the table.
Kal'tsit? Rest?
Did she take the wrong medicine? Or was she poisoned? Or was she injured?
Closure asked a series of questions.
After all, as far as she knew, Kal'tsit was the kind of workaholic who wouldn't leave the front lines even with minor injuries, and even with serious injuries, she couldn't help but keep working as long as she was awake.
She said some people weren't feeling well and went back to sleep, Closure couldn't believe a word of that.
"But it's true..." Amiya said with a hint of helplessness.
"Well... did the sun rise in the west? Kal'tsit is taking a break, how strange..." Closure muttered as she walked out of the office.
Meanwhile, what was Suika doing, who had nearly driven Kal'tsit to a frenzy?
She was standing in front of a campfire, next to a somewhat dilapidated car, and around her sat six or seven people.
Everyone gathered around the campfire, drinking, eating meat, and singing, having a wonderful time.
After saying goodbye to Hoshiguma and Ifrit, Suika left Rhodes Island alone two days ago.
She fully demonstrated her skill and daring by hiking all the way to Rim Billiton.
Instead of taking a longer route, they went directly across Kazdel.
This route looks very dangerous, but it's actually much safer than Suika imagined.
The only downside is that this place is too desolate.
On the first day Suika didn't see anyone at all.
The only impression Suika got from the journey was of a poor and desolate place.
She had to admire Sarkaz's incredible luck.
This place reminded her of the Loess Plateau.
Originally wanting to savor the scenery along the way, Suika decided to give up after taking a few bites of the dust stirred up by the strong wind.
After all, dust in other places is probably all dust, but it's hard to say what's in the dust in Kazdel.
She quickened her pace and crossed Kazdel's area at an extremely fast speed.
She arrived in Rim Billiton's area at noon on the second day.
However, being unfamiliar with the area, Suika gloriously got lost.
However, she was very lucky.
As Suika wandered aimlessly through the wilderness, a pickup truck stopped in front of her.
A composed man who looked to be in his thirties leaned out of the car, surprised to see a lone young backpacker in this desolate wasteland.
Suika pointed to the armband she was wearing, indicating that she was a Catastrophe Messenger traveling around to broaden her horizons and incidentally study the weather, which earned her the respect of everyone in the car.
When they learned that Suika was going to the Big Pirl Autonomous State, the group said that their family was on their way there to work at a mine, and invited Suika to come along.
Sensing no malice from the group, Suika nodded in agreement.
As soon as she got on the bus, a girl who looked to be about ten years old approached Suika.
"Sister, you're Catastrophe Messenger too!"
"That's right, my name is Suika, and I'm a Catastrophe Messenger."
"Hello, sister. My name is Lainie. My dad, Matt, is driving, my mom, Su Qi, is in the passenger seat, and this is my older Ford, my second older brother Trevor, and my third Terry."
The little girl, who called herself Lainie, introduced the people in the car to Suika.
Suika glanced at them; they were all gray-brown Cautus, and judging from their facial features, they did indeed look like a family.
She took a piece of candy out of her pocket and handed it to Lainie.
"Lainie is so sweet, this is such a little gift."
Lainie looked at the candy, wanting it but too afraid to take it, and could only nervously watch her mother in front of her.
"Just take what Sister Suika gave you, and remember to thank her properly!"
"Mother Su Qi said gently."
Hearing her mother's words, Lainie happily took the candy, unwrapped the foil, and carefully put it in her mouth.
Wow, it's so sweet...
Chapter 482 A Manifestation Before the Public
In the evening, Suika and the family sat around a fire in a makeshift ravine, chatting.
From their conversation, I learned that they were originally residents of another place, but their hometown had recently been hit by Catastrophe.
Fortunately, Catastrophe Messenger gave them an early warning, and the family believed him and left with all their belongings, thus averting a catastrophe.
That's why they were so friendly to Suika was also Catastrophe Messenger.
Suika wasn't surprised by this.
The Catastrophe Messenger has always had a good reputation outside.
Although the foolish might think that they brought about the Catastrophe.
However, it is undeniable that when the Catastrophe Messenger issues a warning, the best course of action is to follow the instructions and leave in advance.
If you don't leave... then if you suffer a disaster and die inside, or become Infected, there's no going back.
Terra lives in a village outside the Mobile City, and no one can guarantee that they won't suddenly be attacked by Catastrophe.
Therefore, they pay extra attention to intelligence from Catastrophe Messenger.
"Achoo~ Achoo~" After chatting for a while, Suika suddenly sneezed several times in a row.
"Miss Suika, would you like to wear another layer of clothing?" Mother Su Qi asked.
Suika rubbed her nose. "No need, it's not that I'm cold... It's probably because someone's talking badly about me behind my back, hahaha."
With my health, there's absolutely no way I could catch a cold.
Suika was certain that someone was talking about her behind her back.
As for who it is...
Swire? Kal'tsit? Anyone I know could be involved.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the story she had deliberately told when she left.
This story was originally unnecessary, but she couldn't help feeling indignant because she remembered Kal'tsit's always seemed to be vaguely wary of her.
Our mighty Demon Ghost King of Mount Oe treats Rhodes Island so well, even better than he treats Lungmen.
It's infuriating that the old lynx would be wary of me in this situation.
That's why I deliberately told that story at the end.
She couldn't help but chuckle as she imagined the old lynx's fur standing on end after hearing the story.
"Sister Suika," a girl's voice from beside her interrupted Suika's thoughts.
"Ah!" Suika looked at Lainie.
"You were laughing like a villain just now," Lainie said with a curious look.
"Haha, I've thought of some interesting things." Suika remained noncommittal.
"Since Miss Suika has been Catastrophe Messenger and has traveled to so many places, she must have seen a lot of things!"
Our family has never left Rim Billiton. Could you tell us what it's like outside Rim Billiton?
After the father, Matt, spoke, the remaining three boys immediately perked up.
Suika opened the Ibuki Gourd, tilted her head back and took a sip before speaking.
"That's no problem."
Let's start with Leithanien!
Back in the day, when the Witch King was in power, he held absolute power and made it difficult for the nobles in the country to breathe.
Later, they joined forces with a mysterious person and created two women specifically to fight the Witch King ...
Suika said that the tradition of the Great Yan people is that after a sip of wine, they become a politician with a sharp tongue.
In an era of literary inquisitions, the political maneuvering that was revealed at a banquet could have led to the execution of everyone in the room, including their entire extended family, in a massacre.
Having her handle these international situations is absolutely perfect.
After all, she had genuinely opened her third eye, obtained the script, and knew some secrets that outsiders had no idea about.
This was the first time those present had witnessed such an eye-opening experience, and the first time they had come to understand the meaning of international affairs.
After finishing her talk about Kazimierz, Suika took another sip of her drink, seemingly still wanting more. Just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed.
"Little Lainie, I left my doll in the car. Could you go get it for me?"
Lainie naturally knew about the doll that Suika was talking about; she had seen it when she got on the bus. However, her good upbringing prevented her from asking Suika for it to play with, even though she was envious.
Now that she heard that Suika had asked her to help get it, she was naturally very happy.
The mother stood up to open the car door for her, leaving only the four men sitting opposite.
"Uncle Matt, can you tell me what rare and exotic animals are around here?" Suika suddenly asked.
Matt scratched his head. "I've never heard of any rare or exotic animals, but I've heard there's a huge swarm of Needle Flea in this area..."
Suika nodded. "They are indeed huge. There must be hundreds of them, densely packed together!"
Upon hearing Suika's words, the group's expressions changed.
Just then, a rustling sound came from all around, and then Needle Flea the size of hounds swarmed in from all directions.
Facing these Needle Flea, Suika glanced at the pale-faced people in front of her.
"Meeting is fate, and you are all lucky to have met me."
Didn't the guy ask me what to do if I encountered danger while traveling alone in the wilderness?
"Now I can tell you, when you encounter danger, just flatten and round it out, turning danger into safety."
As soon as she opened her mouth, a torrent of flames erupted, forming a ring that enveloped the entire group, including their vehicle.
The flames halted the Needle Flea's advance.
Faced with the sudden appearance of a large fire in front of them, the swarm of Needle Flea became agitated.
With their limited intelligence, they had no idea why a large fire had appeared in their path, blocking their hunting route.
"This move is called the Bodyguard Technique; it is not intended to harm the enemy, but only to protect oneself."
Of course, it can't stop powerful creatures, but it's a piece of cake for these little bugs.
After all, even the most vicious insect is still an insect; its fear of fire is instinctive, and instincts cannot be changed.
Amidst the panicked gazes of the others Suika stood up and looked around with satisfaction.
Then she pointed to the car
"You all go inside first. I'll come out after I've dealt with these Needle Flea. Are these good bugs planning to come down from the ground just because they can't get through on the surface?"
After saying that, Suika lifted her foot and stomped it on the ground.
The people who had just boarded the bus felt a tremor, as if an earthquake had occurred.
