Arknights, reincarnated as a cat

Chapter 111 Simple folk customs

The head of the Saluzzo family was in the study telling family members what to do next, when the door to the study was suddenly kicked open.

The family members in the room all looked towards the door.

The head of the Saluzzo family, Alberto, pinched the orange in his hand and looked at the girl at the door with a bored expression.

At the door, Bai Lang, who had been expelled from the family for a long time, looked at everyone in the room with her signature crazy smile.

"Oh, they are all here. If you look closely, there are many old faces."

She walked in with a defiant step, kicked away a family member who blocked her, and then sat carelessly on the sofa with her feet on the table, as if she was the owner of the house.

"Alas, after traveling all night, we didn't even get a cup of tea here. Our stronghold in Volsini is too simple compared to our old nest."

Many family members in the room knew that Lapland was Alberto's daughter, and they all looked at their head, waiting for him to speak.

Alberto frowned and asked in a deep voice the family members who had just chased him from outside the house.

"Who let her in?"

The family members saw the angry expression on the head's face and said tremblingly: "Master, it's... the young lady took care of everyone outside and forced her way in."

"It's a family meeting now, get her out of here."

In the Saluzzo family, Alberto's words are orders. The family is allowed to have ideas, but the person who makes the decision can only be Alberto, and disobedience is not tolerated.

Even though the white wolf sitting here is the daughter of their family head.

A family member stood up. Lapland remembered him as a senior member of the family.

"Miss...Miss Lapland, please leave here."

"Anton, do you really have to be so heartless? I, however, rejected Mrs. Sicily's invitation and came back like a feathered beast anxious to return home. You see, in order to come here as soon as possible, I even gave up my beloved car. It’s become like that.”

"Sorry, miss, you no longer belong to this family."

"Of course, of course." Lapland stood up, putting her hands on her chest, with an expression on her face like a bard telling history, but her tone of voice was like reading.

"Although I was expelled from my family for disgraceful reasons, I have always cared about my family in my heart. Therefore, I risked my life to bring a vital piece of information to the family."

She stretched out her other hand and pointed her fingers toward the sky.

"Isn't this touching?"

Anton sighed helplessly in his heart. The eldest lady must have been deliberately trying to make the master angry because he had already spoken to drive her out.

He heard clearly.

What the master said was to drive her out.

Rather than anything else.

He had always understood that the master did not hate the eldest daughter as much as he showed. The talkative person of the Saluzzo family actually loved his daughter in his own way.

In private terms, the master regarded the eldest daughter as his pride; in public terms, the master expelled the young lady from the family.

This does not conflict.

But many people in the family can't see this clearly, and the newcomers don't know that the eldest lady and the master actually have the same temperament.

They old people know that they can't afford to offend both sides.

"Miss, you..."

Anton still tried to persuade him, but some new faces who were eager to show off in front of the head of the family did not think so.

"Lapland, don't be too presumptuous! This is not the place for you to act wild!"

When Lapland was expelled from the family, a new family member yelled and reached out to grab Lapland's arm and force her out of the room.

"Tsk."

Lapland's expression changed when she heard that the unknown guy dared to scold her.

She picked up the pen on the table with an unhappy look on her face and wiped it on the neck of the unknown person at a very fast speed.

Ink mixed with blood splashed on Anton's leather shoes and the carpet under his feet. The family member covered his neck and took a few steps back.

At this moment, there was a huge gash on his neck caused by the pen body and brute force, and the blood spurted out splattered on Lapland's cheek. and left a large pool of blood on the table.

As the person who made Lapland unhappy fell to the ground, Lapland asked Anton beside him: "This guy I haven't seen before, is he new here?"

"Yes... yes, Miss Lapland."

Anton took a step back. He thought that Lapland might use violence, but he didn't expect that she would still do the same as before, directly killing the pawn she didn't know without holding back at all.

"You broke my pen and soiled my desk, Lapland."

Hearing his father's words, Lapland put on a smiling expression again.

"These can be replaced at any time, can't they?"

"...Just let me hear what you call important information."

"Bellone brought Texas back."

After speaking, Lapland squinted her eyes to observe her father's expression, and she began to think about what would happen next with a playful attitude.

.....

Syracuse has entered the rainy season.

Endless rain enveloped every city. Rainy days were a nuisance to all Syracusans.

Humid air will always make people wet, and the water vapor splashed by raindrops falling on the ground will wet the hair on the tail.

Several family members collected this month's money from a shop on the family's property and were walking to the next shop under umbrellas when they were stopped by a red-haired Sakota holding a black cat.

"Guys, excuse me."

When these people saw it, they found that this Sakota didn't even hold an umbrella on such a rainy day.

Is there something wrong with this Sakota? Do you want to play some weird game when we strike up a conversation in this kind of weather?

But they soon discovered that there was not even a drop of rain on Sakota's body in the rain.

It was like raindrops automatically bypassing her.

It makes people feel very weird at the second glance.

"If you want to ask for directions, miss, go straight from here. There is a church. The priest is of the same race as you."

A family member spoke first. He didn't want to have anything to do with such a troublesome person, and he didn't want to ask for directions.

After all, in Syracuse, a place with simple folk customs, you have to be careful about everything you do.

What's more, when you meet this kind of person, you just have to put the words "I am very weird" on his forehead.

After saying something perfunctory, he and the other two people quickly walked away from this weird-looking Sakota.

"Uh... don't leave yet. I'm not asking for directions! I'm just asking if a guy named Texas has come here."

But obviously these family members in black suits didn't want to pay attention to her, turned a deaf ear to her words, and left the place quickly.

"Exactly." The capable angel stamped his feet, "Aren't these people in suits too strict with their mouths? They don't say anything when asked. Are these families in Syracuse so xenophobic?"

The capable angel has asked six times, and this time is already the seventh time.

This is the result every time, those people say nothing.

Li Xia, who used her ability to block the rain from the powerful angel, tilted her head in her arms. It felt that it could actually grab a few people and ask them.

After all, these people can tell at a glance that they are usually not good people.

However, the capable angel refused to arrest a few people for interrogation on the grounds that peace was the most important thing.

When Angel Angel returned to the hotel, he met up with a few people and found that no one except Monique had asked for any useful information.

"Texas is in the Bellone family territory."

Bellone?

The capable angels know them.

She passed by their stronghold, and she saw that any stray hound passing by the door would be kicked several times by the guard.

The defense is so tight that not even a feathered beast can fly over.

"So, what do they want Texas to do?"

"Attending a banquet."

"how do you know?"

"Oh, I was listening by the window."

All I can say is that he is worthy of being the Lazuli Killer. The capable angel looked at Monique, who had no trace of battle on her body, and sighed.

If she was in a position where Monique was eavesdropping, there should be no one outside the house who could breathe.

"Now that you know what that guy is going to do next, it's easier to handle. If you go and find out where the Bellone family is going to hold a banquet, you can run into Texas."

"However, none of the people in those families are willing to speak out. They are guarding us as much as they are guarding against thieves."

"Hmm...Didn't Sora have an appointment with some kind of director? Why don't we mention this matter after you guys finish talking? It seems like today?"

"Yes, we made an appointment to meet at a restaurant." Kong glanced at his watch, "It's almost time. The restaurant is right next to it. Let's wait for the director first."

A few people nodded. There was nothing to do now anyway, so they went to the restaurant at the agreed place.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Angel Neng began to order.

"This, this, and this, have some!"

Croissant took a look at what Angel ordered, three pizzas with different flavors.

"Sister Neng Angel, why did you order all the pizza? Don't you order other dishes?"

But the capable angel showed a matter-of-fact expression.

"This is Syracuse, the country of pizza! What would you eat if you don't eat pizza? Isn't it the same as eating steamed buns with different fillings?"

"Um...."

Croissant looked at the menu and thought about the words of the capable angel.

Then she felt that what the capable angel said made sense.

"Then I'll order a pizza too."

I chose a pizza with a flavor I had never tried at Longmen, and then handed the menu to Sora and Monique.

Sora glanced at the four pizzas they ordered, and then ordered other types of dishes besides pizza with Monique.

Soon, all the ordered dishes were served, and the capable angel picked up a piece of pizza.

The traditional Syracuse pizza is completely different from what you get in Longmen.

The edges of the pizza are crispy and slightly bulging, while the inside is thin and very soft.

"Yeah, delicious!"

The rich milky aroma of the cheese on the pizza, the sour and sweet taste of the tomato sauce, and a little bit of garlic blend together to create a very layered texture.

After sucking his finger, Neng Angel also gave Li Xia a piece of it, who was looking at it very greedily.

After finishing three pieces of pizza, Angel Neng also felt that he would not be able to eat any more.

So she decided to order other flavors of pizza that night.

"Speaking of which, Sora, why did the director you made an appointment have to meet in a restaurant? It doesn't feel very formal."

The capable angel wiped his mouth and asked Sora.

"Usually the interview is done in the company, but some people like to chat with the actors in daily situations to see how their qualities are."

"Daily?" Croissant glanced aside and thought about their daily life in Longmen, then she smiled and gave a thumbs up in the air.

"Then I think that director might be impressed by you. Not only can he gain fans on stage, but he can also punish evil and promote good off the stage."

Sora smiled, but immediately sighed.

"Oh, I hope everything goes well."

"My feeling tells me that it will go smoothly, but when Sister Texas comes back, we must let her buy our milk tea for three months, not half a year!"

"How can I only have milk tea for half a year? This may be a good opportunity to give her a serious blow!"

Jingle bell~

The people in the restaurant were pushed away, and a frail-looking man ran in.

"Help! It's a murder! Help!"

The panting killer who was chasing outside cursed secretly.

He took out a folding bow from under his suit.

He has been chasing this guy for a long time today. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a government clerk who has been sitting in an office for a long time to have better physical strength than him. With his skills, he can solve the problem by just lifting the knife and dropping it, or moving his finger to pull the string. But he found that this guy could run better than him, and every time he was about to kill the clerk, something unexpected would happen.

The moment he shot his first arrow, this guy lowered his head to pick up the key.

As he was chasing after him, he suddenly stepped on a piece of banana peel and slipped. In order to stabilize his body, he lost the opportunity to attack. Then after he caught up again, the rain started to fall again, blurring his eyes. In this gap, that guy Overturned scaffolding, blocking his way.

Now, run into the restaurant.

The long chase in the rain made him feel uncomfortable.

He prepared to use exploding arrowheads to blow up the clerk, who was as slippery as a loach.

Just as the killer aimed at the clerk's back and released the bowstring in his hand, the clerk who had already run into the restaurant suddenly slipped under his feet and fell to the ground.

Because of the call for help as soon as he entered the door, the person at Penguin Logistics had already noticed the killer outside the door and was about to step forward to save him. Then he saw the person calling for help slipping and falling to the ground. An arrow immediately shot out from his Flying from behind.

Without the obstruction of the clerk, the arrow flew straight towards Penguin Logistics.

Croissant held pizza in his mouth, widened his eyes, raised his shield, and prepared to block the arrow.

But just when she raised the shield, the arrow hit an invisible wall, and the fire spread out, but it was extinguished in the air the next moment.

puff--

The killer outside the door also changed from a three-dimensional creature to a two-dimensional one due to the huge force accumulated from all around.
