it is Arknights!

"Yo, good morning! Butcher of Kazimierz!"

"Good morning to you, Butcher of Kazimierz."

"Good morning. Both of you."

Also, can you please not call me that name?

Looking at the two familiar Blacksteel International operators before him, Li Lin couldn't help but sigh.

Francka and Liskarm, still the familiar crosstalk duo, still the shield and longsword guard combination, not much beyond expectations.

The arrival of Blacksteel International didn't exceed their expectations; rather, Blacksteel International was the most anxious one among everyone. Possibly even more anxious than Sora, who was attacked. Because this was simply one of the most unacceptable pieces of news after Blacksteel International's reconstruction. Or perhaps, simply no 'one of'.

This, to some extent, could be called a scandal for Blacksteel International; the VIP target they were protecting was actually approached by a crazed fan. This kind of thing was unacceptable for any security company; it was a huge blow to their reputation. So this time, no matter what Sora said, Blacksteel International dispatched their most elite team to protect Sora, which was this familiar crosstalk duo before them.

However, analyzing specific matters specifically, although this crosstalk duo looked somewhat unreliable, their reputation within Blacksteel Logistics (likely typo for Blacksteel International) was very high, and they were also truly important components of Blacksteel International in a real sense. Originally, they should have been split up to become pillars of other teams, but due to this crisis of trust, they were once again gathered together. Looking at Li Lin's face, those two who looked like they were about to perform crosstalk couldn't help but show expressions of headache. After all, the protected target being more capable than the protectors, this kind of thing was both awkward and made one feel utterly ashamed .

So the two Blacksteel International operators patted their chests and guaranteed they absolutely wouldn't interfere with their (Li Lin and Sora's) actions in any other way, just purely wanting to maintain Blacksteel International's reputation by protecting them secretly, without any other meaning.

But what Li Lin actually wanted to hear wasn't this.

Blacksteel International, you should protect me, then stop others, preferably no more shopping, okay? Or doing some other strange things; isn't it better for everyone to just squat in a coffee shop, quietly pass the time, and go out only after everything is over? Isn't slacking off enjoyable? Why insist on watching us so conscientiously outside? Have you guys really betrayed us?

No, that's not right. Normally, it's precisely because they are responsible people that they would conscientiously watch over them. But what Li Lin least hoped for was to see this, because it meant his entire day was going to be ruined again. He finally understood why many people, after getting girlfriends, still wore expressions of pain.

They really weren't showing off, but were truly in great pain, even wanting to find someone else to help them escape.

Popular people explode! Let me explode too!

Li Lin looked at the two operators before him with eyes full of anger and gloom, while those two comedians just shivered, looking somewhat innocently at Li Lin, not knowing why he was so angry. After all, they were just getting paid to do a job, not meddling in your young couple's quarrels.

"Alright, then today's main tasks include: shopping at the mall, going to a coffee shop to show affection , and also scouting the concert venue when we go there."

Sora clapped her hands, signaling the three of them to look towards her.

To be fair, today's Sora was also very cute, wearing a gorgeous idol outfit, adorned with sparkling accessories, and star stickers on her cheeks, further highlighting Sora's cute side, making one can't help but want to hug this cute little girl. But who could know that this was actually a carefully planned conspiracy by Sora?

Actually, all the routes Sora gave to her managers were different, and the one they chose was one of them; only the people from Blacksteel International knew what the truly correct route was. Because Blacksteel International hadn't interfered in any area or matter herein; they were a completely neutral organization, and also the only trustworthy organization. As a security company, the only thing they could achieve was being trusted; this was the foundation of their existence, so they would absolutely not abandon it.

Sora's company could no longer be trusted; Sora hadn't forgotten the crazed fan incident that happened last time, but rather, it sounded an alarm bell in her heart. A crisis of trust, once was enough, and once was enough to make everyone remember it deeply. Sora wasn't the kind of girl who only knew how to sing and dance; she also had her own views and thoughts on this. Her ability to repeatedly find herself in dangerous situations, sing on battlefields, and provide support for others, showed this girl had her own thoughts and abilities; she was definitely not some puppet, quite the opposite, she was the one pulling the strings ( puppeteer).

When the plan was confirmed, proceed according to the normal route; Blacksteel International observers had already been ambushed along other routes. No matter where trouble occurred, as long as suspicious personnel appeared, they would be captured instantly. It could be said to be a flawless and completely safe plan.

Of course, when Li Lin proposed why not everyone hide, then see which route had problems, he was glared back fiercely by Sora.

Perhaps girls are naturally fond of shopping.

Facing her fierce expression, Li Lin could only comfort himself thus in his heart.

"Currently, I have planned out seven routes, six of which are fake, but will have my decoys acting them out. I have left traces of similar Originium Arts aura on them; even if distinguished by smell, it cannot be differentiated. And this information, my manager also knows."

"So as long as we trace which line has problems, then we can follow the vine to get the melon and root them out. To ensure the independence of the information, I even took many actions to ensure uniqueness. The company always thought I was an idol who only knew how to sing and dance, but don't be ridiculous, I am also a member of Penguin Logistics. Regarding Penguin Logistics' style, I am also very clear. If they think I'm the type to be swayed by old feelings, then they are gravely mistaken!"

"…But isn't Penguin Logistics' style usually to just fight first and talk later?"

"Isn't it because we haven't found the person yet?"

Glaring at Li Lin, who was interjecting from the side, Sora took a deep breath and raised her hand.

"Plan, begin!"

"Oh!"
