Poseidon in Arknights

"Wow, stop talking, stop talking!" Descartes hugged himself tightly in his wheelchair. "Do you know how panicked I am right now?"

"This is just a normal discussion, don't panic," Ansel reassured Deske. "Alright, everyone should be almost ready, right?"

"no problem."

"Get to work."

"Monitoring unit activated."

"Alright." After everyone nodded, the perfumer looked at Deske, since this treatment was being performed by her and Gavial together.

After discussing the matter with Gavial, the perfumer confirmed that she was the one who would lead the examination.

“It’s a pity Miss Yuzuki isn’t here…” Ansel said with some regret, standing next to the perfumer.

“Oh, you mean Dr. Yuuki?” Gavial said, carrying his staff. “I had invited Yuuki, but she said a friend was arriving soon and she would go pick her up, and we could handle things ourselves.”

“I think I should say, Miss Muirses?” the perfumer said casually from the side.

Upon hearing the perfumer's words, Gavial asked with some confusion, "Who?"

"The life of Rhine Life..."

Just as the perfumer was about to answer, Desk, who was extremely nervous, suddenly spoke up: "Never mind who Miss Yuzuki's friend is, can we hurry up and finish this? I'm so nervous!"

"Alright, alright." Desk was visibly nervous, and the Perfumer stopped chatting. "Then, Desk's operator, just like before."

"Please try to stand up..."

"Hoo..." Desk took a deep breath, braced his hands on the wheelchair, and tried to touch the ground with his feet, using a strength he hadn't used in a long time.

When Desker's feet touched the ground, a sense of habit and familiarity helped him get out of his wheelchair and onto the hard ground.

Even though he was below, his legs gave way and he was about to fall to the ground when several operators nearby reacted quickly and rushed over to steady him.

Next month, the others also rushed forward and began to use their detection spells to check the condition of the other party.

"Oh, it seems they succeeded." Yuzuki leaned against the wall and looked back in the direction of the medical department. "Hmm, it looks like things are going well. It seems we can relax now."

"What are you looking at?" A hand patted Yuuki's shoulder. "Is someone over there prettier than me?"

Chapter 211: Shuiyue is caught again

"Good morning, Muels." Xi Yue turned around and reached out to pat Muels's head. "Long time no see. You've grown quite a bit..."

"Xiyue!" Before Xiyue could finish speaking, Muersais covered Xiyue's mouth. "Do you even know how to talk? After all this time, this is the first question you ask me."

"There's no way I meant to ask if you've grown taller," Yu Yue said with a mischievous grin. She really did just want to ask if she had grown taller at first.

Of course, whether or not they had bad intentions is anyone's guess.

"Honestly." Muirsay flicked Xiyue's forehead with her finger. "I came all this way, and this is how you treat me."

"I already said, I just wanted to ask if you've grown taller?" Xi Yue patted Muerses's head. "Alright, let's go, I've prepared a welcome feast for you."

"Isn't it a bit too early to eat now?" Muirses took out his phone, glanced at it, and said, "Don't you think it's too early? Let's eat later."

"Or have you already prepared the food?"

"Uh, no, not at all." Yuuki shook her head. "So where do you plan to go first?"

"Hmm, shall we go to the botanical garden first?" Muirse stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Oh, no, it's not convenient for you to come along. As you said last time, your presence would directly make the surrounding environment absolutely suitable for the growth of those plants."

"This will lead to inaccurate data collection. Can't you turn off your features?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Yuzuki spread her hands. "I know how to expand its influence, but how to turn this thing off? I really don't know."

“Then you can’t come along when I do the experiments,” Muirsey said with some regret. “Oh, right, if you take over my manifold, will my manifold inherit this property?”

"If you don't know how, you might be able to come with me."

"Do you remember the last time I came to see you?" Xi Yue's face showed a hint of helplessness.

Muirses nodded: "Of course I remember. After you left that day, Krytens pulled me aside and talked to me a lot about you."

"So, how did Miss Krytens discover my [something] that day? It's the same now." Yuuki looked at Muirses, "Just like the Originium dust in that office."

"Oh, then there's nothing I can do." Muels nodded regretfully. "It seems I'll have to go alone, which is a bit of a shame."

"Oh, right, this should be quite confidential, right? Did Xiyue help me find someone to guide me?"

“Yes.” Yu Yue nodded. “Miss Perfumer, there’s a doctor on Rhodes Island who’s in charge of this area. I’ll have her take you on a tour.”

"Although I don't think I need to remind you, I'll mention it anyway: I'll give you a copy of the seeds later, so don't try to get them yourself!"

"I don't think I can figure anything out?" Muels shrugged. After Xiyue told them about it last time, Muels felt that this thing had little to do with compliance.

“However, Krystens will probably enjoy the feeling of the unknown.” Muirsay took Yuuki’s hand. “I just hope I can understand their language later.”

"But we'll have to wait a bit." Yuuki led Muelssy through Rhodes Island. "Right now, the perfumer doctor is monitoring a patient and might not be available for a while."

“It’s alright.” Muirse smiled. “Then let’s go to the medical department and wait there. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Eve.”

"Since you have some free time now, you could go and see how the child is doing?"

"Alright," Yuuki nodded. "But do you know where that child is now?"

"You should have her contact number, right?"

“Yes, there is.” Muirses nodded. “Wait a moment, let me make a call and check…”

——————Rhodes Island Entertainment Room——————

In the space of a large television, Ifrit sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding a controller and staring at the word "KO" on the screen with a dark expression.

"I refuse to believe I can't beat you!" Ifrit gripped the controller, her head practically steaming. "Damn it, one more round!"

"Are you really alright?" Shuiyue asked lightly, holding the controller and glancing at Ifrit's head. "Your head is practically smoking."

"It's just a few games lost, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

"It's alright!" Ifrit patted the cigarette off her head, thinking to herself, 'Don't burn your head with cigarette smoke anymore, it scared everyone!'

Three question marks made of dust appeared above the Balrog's head, which was peacefully sleeping in Ifrit's mind. "Hey, brat, you're pretty quick to shift the blame."

'I was sleeping soundly, what do I care if you're emitting smoke from your head?'

"I don't care, you did it anyway." After venting her frustration, Ifrit glared fiercely at Mizuki beside her. "Anyway, let's play one more round!"

"Alright, alright." Shuiyue looked at Ifrit helplessly, intending to slow down her movements and go easy on her, otherwise, judging from the current situation, if she got burned on the head, she would be in trouble.

"And you're not allowed to hold back." Ifrit looked at Mizuki. "I'm going to beat you with all my might. You're not allowed to hold back. If I find out, you'll be sorry!"

'What do you mean by that later?' Shuiyue felt sweat dripping down his face. The other party's wildness was putting him under some pressure. Should he go easy on him or not?

'Never mind, I'll just go easy on you...' As Shuiyue pressed the ready button, the words 'Ready, let's start fighting' flashed on the screen.

"Take this, take this, take this!" Ifrit pressed the buttons on the controller rapidly, using such force that it seemed she would crush the controller in the next moment.

The character controlled by Ifrit on the screen immediately unleashed a series of fierce attacks, causing Mizuki's character to retreat steadily.

"There's no time to defend against an attack like that." Mizuki said with a light smile as she steadily defended against Ifrit's attack.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he used the energy accumulated during the counterattack to force Ifrit's character away and began a series of counterattacks.

Although Ifrit also wanted to learn from this, like Suiyue had just accumulated experience through counterattacks, his reaction in this area was indeed not as good as Suiyue's.

"It should be about time, right?" Shuiyue's gaze drifted to the top of Ifrit's head. "Wait a minute, I hope you don't really upset her."

With this in mind, Mizuki slowed down her tapping of the controller, giving Ifrit time to counterattack.

Ifrit seized the opportunity, forcing Suigetsu's character away. Just as the two were locked in combat again, grinding each other to a draw, it was time for the final punch to decide the winner.

Ifrit's phone, which was in her pocket, suddenly vibrated, startling her and causing her to arrive at her business trip a little later than Mizuki.

Just a moment too slow, and Shuiyue's character punched him in the face, losing the victory once again.

"Damn it!" Ifrit glared angrily at the screen, put down the controller, and picked up the still-vibrating phone.

Upon seeing the caller ID on her phone, Evelyn instantly stopped being angry and quickly answered the call.

"Hey, Miu Miu!"

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

“So there’s a place like this on Rhodes Island.” Yuuki followed Muels. “I’ve been here for so long and I didn’t even know.”

“Because you don’t usually go out much, right, Yuuki?” Muelsy suddenly took Yuuki’s hand. “You’ll know once you go out more. But Yuuki, you weren’t always in the medical department when you were on Rhodes Island, were you?”

"More or less." Xi Yue shrugged, her gaze drifting towards the gate not far away. "Oh, looks like I'm going to catch that little guy again."

"Little fellow?" Muels asked curiously upon hearing the voice from the Western Regions. "Who is it?"

"He's a mischievous kid, I'd say," Xi Yue shrugged. "I wonder if he'll be interested in chatting with me this time?"

——————The game room at this moment——————

Because Ifrit seemed to be waiting for her friend, and Mizuki, who could no longer play with him, was opening, the game developed by Kroos was about to begin.

Fortress of Madness! Rhodes Soldiers Assemble is a game developed by Kroos and another friend. To be honest, it's a really old-school game.

The minimalist art style brings a unique aesthetic; after looking at it for a while, it can even transform everything the eye sees into the same image quality for a certain period of time.

The high intensity of encountering enemies outside also allows players to experience a great deal of difficulty, an unavoidable life-or-death situation, and the feeling of walking on a knife's edge.

The mechanism that forces you to start all over again after losing makes you appreciate the warmth of home even more, and makes the sweetness of victory taste even better when you win.

In other words, this game is an old game with a terrible gaming experience, so it has mostly negative reviews on Rhodes Island, and the few positive reviews are just default ratings for fun.

"Let's try a different approach today..." As a fan of classic games, Shuiyue not only didn't give this game any bad reviews, but instead gave it extremely high praise, and wrote extensively about it in the comments section.

However, judging from the feedback, Shuiyue's recommendation actually generated more negative reviews.

After all, not everyone is suited to games with this level of difficulty. As a devoted fan of this type of game, Shui Xi naturally completed the game as soon as it was released and gave it a rare positive review on Rhodes Island.

"Mmm~" Shuiyue hummed a little tune, her face beaming as she swung the controller, skillfully manipulating the character.

Just as Shuiyue was happily playing the game, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

'Miss Yuzuki is here?' Mizuki looked towards the door. With her sense of the ocean, Mizuki keenly felt that Yuzuki seemed to be coming this way.

Mizuki should have run away by now, but looking at the game she had just started, she hesitated: 'It should be alright, right? Miss Yuzuki shouldn't be coming to the game room; she's probably just passing by?'

Based on what others know about Yuuki these past few days, Yuuki shouldn't be coming to the game room. And when Mizuki looked around, there wasn't anyone here with an oceanic aura, so they probably weren't the people Yuuki might be looking for.

'They were probably just passing by.' Shuiyue breathed a sigh of relief and refocused her attention on the game.
