Poseidon in Arknights

“Yeah, if I find out who did this,” Yu Yue nodded in agreement, “they’ll at least get a head injury.”

Exusiai, who was sitting next to Texas, slid her chair closer and whispered in Texas's ear, "I feel that what Yuuki said about cracking open a skull might not just be a physical thing."

"..." Texas glanced at Yuuki, then whispered to Exusiai, "Instead of saying it might not be in a physical sense, you should say how big Yuuki's kill radius is?"

Exusiai thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Sigh, it can't be that bad, if it's just one person."

"Too."

"Are you all full?" Yuuki suddenly turned her head, a smile on her face, and looked at Exusiai and Texas. "If you're all full, then we'll head back."

"Good~"

"Yuyue, who is this Nightingale you were talking about?" Exusiai poked Yuyue's hand curiously; she had wanted to ask this question earlier.

"Is this your new patient?"

"Hmm." Xi Yue nodded. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with that child? Judging from your tone, it seems like things aren't going well." Exusiai's eyes were filled with curiosity. "Yuzuki, are you having a hard time too?"

“A little.” Xi Yue nodded. “The child has hidden injuries all over his body, some of which have developed into permanent damage, and he also has quite a few other ailments.”

"Therefore, many treatment methods cannot be used because they will cause problems. So we are now adopting conservative treatment. As long as we can resolve her hidden injuries, I can then fully utilize my skills."

"Hmm." Exusiai nodded as if she understood, but if Yuuki said she could save her, then she should be able to save her, right?

"Hmm?" Yu Yue stopped and raised an eyebrow at the group of people waiting at the door. "Isn't this Jessica, Razer, and Miss Franka?"

Good evening! How have you been lately?

"Oh, Miss Yuzuki, you're back?" Franka turned her head and smiled at Yuzuki who was walking over, waving her hand. "I've been doing well lately, at least you're all still alive."

Xi Yue smiled and said, "Really?"

“After all, we’re mercenaries, but…” Franka patted Jessica’s shoulder forcefully, “Jessica has been getting better and better lately, and has been a great help to us.”

“Several times we were almost seriously injured, but Jessica managed to save us with bullets.”

"Ugh~" Jessica lowered her head shyly, "It's all thanks to Teacher Yuzuki's excellent teaching."

“Your efforts are also a very important part.” Xi Yue stepped forward and patted Jessica’s head. “There’s a saying: ‘The master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on yourself.’”

“Jessica, you don’t need to be so modest.” Razer patted Jessica on the shoulder. “Without you, we might have failed several times.”

"Ugh~" Jessica blushed and tightened her grip on the strap of the first-aid kit she had hung at her waist, just like Yuuki had done. "I, I understand."

"Come in and have a seat." Xi Yue patted Jessica's head, then walked around the group and opened the door. "By the way, have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Okay." Yuuki nodded. "So, would you like coffee or black tea?"

Jessica thought for a moment and then asked, "Hmm, coffee?"

"Okay~"

----------------

"Phew~" Yuuki picked up her coffee and took a sip, clearing the last trace of the Hibiscus Nutritional Meal taste from her mouth. "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you how you knew I came to Rhodes Island yet?"

"Oh, I heard it from the perfumers." Franka said to Yuuzuki. She had originally just gone to see if she could get some perfume, since girls like to smell nice if they can afford it.

Then, during their conversation, Franka overheard the perfumer mentioning that Dr. Kal'tsit and Penguin Logistics had reached an in-depth agreement, and that a doctor would be coming to Rhodes Island to be stationed there permanently to learn and exchange ideas with them.

At that moment, an equation slowly appeared in Franka's mind.

Penguin Logistics' doctor is Yuzuki.

Meanwhile, the doctors from Penguin Logistics coming to Rhodes Island for permanent study and exchange is equivalent to Yuuki coming to Rhodes Island for permanent residency.

So Franca made an agreement with the perfumers that they should let them know if the doctor came at any time.

Because it was a small matter, the perfumer readily agreed, and this afternoon, Franca received a call from the perfumer informing them that Yuzuki had arrived.

So right after dinner, Franka, Razer, and Jessica came to knock on the door. However, Yuuki wasn't home when they knocked, but since they were already there, they stood at the door and waited.

"I see." Xi Yue nodded. "Aren't you afraid I won't come back tonight?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow then." Franka shrugged. "Anyway, Miss Yuuki, aren't you already living on Rhodes Island permanently?"

"If we still can't find you by tomorrow, we can just go directly to the medical department to find you, right?"

"That seems to be true." Xi Yue nodded, then reached for the teapot she had placed beside her, only to find it empty. "Hmm?"

Yuuki turned her head and saw Texas take her teapot and make herself a cup of coffee. When she saw Yuuki looking over, Texas handed the teapot back.

"Hey, by the way~" Exusiai looked at Jessica and the other two with a slightly sly smile, "Have you guys been looking at the Rhodes Island forums right now?"

“Hmm?” Razer shook his head. “No, I don’t have a habit of browsing forums.”

"Wasn't I just chatting?" Franka shrugged. "What's wrong? What are people talking about on the forum right now?"

"Hehe~" Exusiai flipped the screen of the phone she was holding so that the other three could see the contents of her phone.

[A brand new warrior!!! Another warrior has chosen to try Furong's nutritious meal!]

At 6:18 PM today, a brave individual chose to try Furong's nutritional meal and remained completely unfazed throughout!

[Image - JPG]

The title seemed ridiculous, but the number of comments and likes kept increasing with each refresh. And who else could the accompanying picture be? Of course, it was a photo of Yuzuki taken from who-knows-where.

"This is really outrageous." Yuzuki shook her head helplessly. "Does this kind of thing really need to be publicized so much?"

"My goodness." Franka and Razer, standing to the side, seemed particularly surprised. They had been on Rhodes Island for so long, and no one had ever dared to eat Rong's nutritious meals.

After all, Furong's nutritional meals were notorious, and the taste was obviously terrible. Franka, with her keen sense of smell, would never have even considered touching them from the beginning.

“Indeed a warrior.” Franka nodded, her tone full of respect. “You’ve worked hard, Miss Yuzuki. But I just wanted to ask, what was your state of mind when you decided to eat Hibiscus’s nutritional meals?”

"Just out of curiosity." Yuzuki shrugged and took another sip of coffee. "I'd call it a suicidal act."

"Eh." Jessica took out a beautifully wrapped candy from her small pocket. "Um, would you like to have one, Ms. Yuuki, to cleanse your palate?"

"Thank you." Yu Yue smiled as she accepted the candy Jessica offered, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. "Don't worry, it's nothing, except that the taste was unexpectedly awful."

“Speaking of the taste,” Franka looked at Yuuki with some curiosity, “may I ask what it tastes like?”

"If you're interested~" Yuzuki waved her hand, "why don't you just give it a try yourself?"

"Aside from the taste being rather unpleasant, everything else is fine, and the nutritional content is definitely sufficient."

"Forget it?" Franka shook her head decisively. "I don't even want to try it because of the smell."

"Hmm~" Yuuki smiled, a candy in her mouth, and looked at Jessica beside her. "Are you free now? Would you like to come with me to check your studies?"

Jessica nodded immediately: "Of course I'm free!"

——————Rhodes Island, Accommodation Area, Skadi's Room——————

At this moment, in Skadi's bathroom, the bottom of the bathroom door was tightly sealed with several layers of waterproof tape, the reason being that the entire bathroom was filled with water.

Skadi floated in the water, completely relaxed. The shower gel and other toiletries that were originally in the bathroom had long been moved outside by Skadi.

Of course, at the same time, Skadi had already wrapped the toilet bowl tightly with waterproof tape, and the reason is obvious to those who know.

After her previous mistake of releasing water throughout the entire room, Skadi learned her lesson this time and only released water into the bathroom, thus reducing water waste.

It also prevents damage to appliances in the living room or other areas, and Skadi also asked the engineering department to do special waterproofing in the bathroom.

So after Skadi completely sealed the bathroom door and toilet with waterproof tape, she relaxed and lay down in the water.

"Whoosh~" Skadi exhaled a few bubbles from her mouth, watching them float up to the ceiling. Then, she pushed herself up with both hands and instantly plummeted downwards.

Skadi held onto the washbasin with both hands, looking at the now blurry mirror, and at her indistinct reflection in the water.

Because the entire bathroom was now filled with water, the mirror in front of her could only barely reflect an extremely illusory image, but Skadi felt that the blurry image reflected in the mirror was not herself.

'Who are you?' Skadi stared at the extremely blurry figure, asking herself, 'Who are you?'

Skadi was just simple-minded, not stupid. She realized that something seemed off about her, especially lately. In her dreams, Skadi would often see another version of herself in front of her, with her back to her, seemingly muttering something.

And lately, I seem to have a persistent urge to return to that sea, to return to his hometown—a very strange feeling of wanting to go home.

Skadi is just simple-minded, not stupid. This kind of thought would never have crossed Skadi's mind in the first place, especially now that Yuuki is involved, it's even less likely that such a thought would arise.

After all, there were no pleasant memories of that place to begin with, so why would I want to go back?

As Skadi continued to ask questions, she seemed to hear the sound of ocean waves in her ears. At the same time, she also smelled a odor that made her extremely uncomfortable.

The surrounding environment gradually darkened, and the mirror in front of her disappeared. Skadi felt as if she had lost something, and she suddenly fell forward.

"Where am I?" Skadi looked around in confusion. "How did I suddenly end up in a place like this?"

Just as Skadi was still wondering what was going on, a kind of whisper seemed to echo throughout the space.

"I felt rejected."

"Lady Yuzuki thinks we're too noisy..."

"We need to go back, we need to go back and tell everyone."

"woo woo woo woo."

The sounds around her kept intertwining and flooding into Skadi's ears.

Skadi looked around, her eyes filled with deep confusion: "What is that sound?"

Then, out of the corner of her eye, Skadi caught a glimpse of what appeared to be another figure behind her.

Skadi whirled around, her body tense, though unarmed, giving her the ability to strike at any moment: "Who are you?"

Before the other person could answer, Scully noticed that the other person's back seemed to be exactly the same as hers, but there was a smell about them that made her extremely uncomfortable.

“Hai Si?” Skadi approached the figure lightly, the whispers that had reached her ears becoming clearer as she drew closer.

"Hai Si, why are you here?" Skadi stared coldly at the cold figure in front of her. The obvious aura emanating from the other person had already told Skadi who the other person was.

"Have I been dreaming about you every night these past few days? What are you trying to do?"

But the figure didn't seem to care about Skadi's questions, and kept its back to Skadi, with whispers coming from her direction.

"What should we do? It seems like Lady Yuzuki doesn't like us anymore."

"But I can't contact the main group now, boohoo."
