Ark Undead

"You can go anywhere, including the area beyond the fourth basement level, the core computer room, and the classified document collection area in the library. However..."

Kal'tsit glanced at the Doctor, who was staring at the card in his hand, and coughed lightly.

"Ahem... It's best not to go to these places alone unless it's absolutely necessary. Of course, if you feel it's absolutely necessary to go, I hope you can tell me or Amiya. After all, you're not very familiar with the environment yet."

Kal'tsit had already granted him more than enough access; the Doctor himself hadn't expected that Kal'tsit would grant him access to these venues at this point.

Although there was a hint of warning in her words, she didn't say anything too definitive, did she?

"I see."

The doctor looked up, feigning ignorance.

"I'll tell you."

"..."

Kal'tsit stared at the Doctor for a long time before turning her head away.

"what ever."

The doctor chuckled twice, then greeted the undead, turned and left to find Amiya.

Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Doctor walk into the elevator. She then looked at the Undead.

"Let's go inside and sit for a while. I'll also give you the Emergency Rational Fluid."

Kal'tsit asked as she opened the door.

"How did you feel after using it last time?"

"Very good...high purity."

The Undead recalled the events and gave it a very high evaluation without reservation.

"That can be considered one of the core technologies that Rhodes Island has mastered. In the entire Terra, at present, only Rhodes Island has the ability to manufacture such a potion with almost no side effects."

"Pharmaceutical company. Isn't that right?"

As the Undead spoke, Kal'tsit went to the cabinet and used her right index finger to unlock the fingerprint lock.

Then he took out two boxes of things wrapped in black translucent glass from the cabinet and put them on the table.

"This was promised beforehand, two boxes. Do you know how to use them?"

"Just drink it."

"Well, the last time you used it was your first time, so the rejection reaction lasted for a while, but only you experienced this. This time, you shouldn't be unconscious for as long as last time."

Kal'tsit pushed the items off the table toward the undead opposite her.

The undead expertly placed the two boxes of potions into his armor. When he looked up, he found Kal'tsit staring at him.

"how?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about what you put inside this armor. It feels like you're putting all sorts of things in there, and you can actually take them out every time."

As she spoke, Kal'tsit walked to the cabinet next to her desk and turned back to ask a question.

"What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

"No need, let's get straight to the point."

The Undead knew that Kal'tsit wasn't keen on dealing with him. Coincidentally, he didn't particularly enjoy talking to her either, so he figured it was better to make things more comfortable for both of them and end it sooner.

"Ah."

Kal'tsit sat down behind the desk, pulled two documents from under it, and tossed them to the undead in front of her.

The Undead took the document and looked at it slowly. Kal'tsit then began to explain the situation to him.

"This morning, the Ursus government sent someone to Rhodes Island. In other words, the Ursus ambassador has been sent to Rhodes Island."

"An envoy?"

The Undead don't quite understand what this means.

Fortunately, Kal'tsit then began to explain what it meant to be an envoy.

"Yes, an envoy. That means it's an official exchange, a face-to-face meeting between two powers."

Kal'tsit pointed to the document in the undead's hand.

"However, I didn't tell anyone else about today's exchange; I handled the whole thing by myself."

"You don't trust Amiya?"

“It’s not that I don’t trust her, but Amiya isn’t yet at a level where she can contact the Ursus ambassador.”

Kal'tsit shook her head and said.

"Although Amiya is already very outstanding, the country of Ursus cannot be understood by common sense."

The Undead looked at the document in his hand.

This is a record of the exchange, focusing on some of the conversation between Kal'tsit and the Ursus ambassador today.

Some of the content is very important and is highlighted in red.

"Chernobyl, the core city?"

The immortal raised his head and asked.

"What's the meaning?"

Kal'tsit took the document from the undead's hand; she decided to tell the undead about it little by little.

"To put it simply, you just returned from Chernobog yesterday. But early yesterday morning, Chernobog's core city had already separated from the whole of Chernobog. The core city is the driving force behind Chernobog, and you could say it's the heart of a mobile city."

"And what's your take on the fact that the Reunion Movement is separating from Chernobog's core city at this time?"

The immortal couldn't understand; he really didn't have any good ideas or suggestions on this matter.

"do not know."

"..."

Kal'tsit rubbed her forehead and continued speaking.

"Let's put that aside for now. When the Ursus officials came, they didn't mention a word about our entry into Chernobog. This means that, at least for now, the Ursus officials don't have any clear evidence that we interfered in the Chernobog incident. Moreover, they don't intend to pursue the matter because they want Rhodes Island to leave immediately."

"why?"

The immortal tilted his head.

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Because Rhode Island is not just a pharmaceutical company, but also a treatment facility for infected people."

Kal'tsit pointed to the Rhodes Island label hanging on the wall behind the undead.

"And this time, what triggered the Chernobog incident was another infected organization, the Reunion Movement."

"Regardless, in name we are an organization that works for the infected, and it's understandable that Ursus is worried about our involvement. But the ambassador also emphasized one request."

Kal'tsit said.

"Hopefully Rhodes Island can evacuate from the border between Yan and Ursus as quickly as possible and not interfere in this matter."

"Yes, I'm hiding something."

The Undead quickly offered his opinion.

"Yes, that's right, they're hiding something. And it must be related to Chernobog."

Kal'tsit nodded and said.

"Leaving aside whether Rhodes Island will intervene in the Chernobog incident, under the current circumstances, Rhodes Island is the only organization that has a reason to offer humanitarian aid to the residents of Chernobog. This is because we are close enough, Chernobog has just suffered a natural disaster, and Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company with specialized research on Originium."

"Furthermore, we have a need for the sarcophagus that will awaken the doctor."

"That place, is it called Stone Coffin?"

The immortals learned for the first time what the coffin in which the doctor awoke was called.

"In the records, the doctor used to call it that."

Kal'tsit tapped the table, signaling the undead not to interrupt for the time being.

"In other words, in our view, it's impossible not to get involved in Chernobog's affairs. Because that goes against the principles of Rhodes Island. Of course, there are also many areas where we can gain benefits, which we cannot give up."

"so?"

The Undead still didn't understand why Kal'tsit had sent him here.

"So, this conversation means your identity hasn't been exposed yet. You're still a War Knight, not an operator of Rhodes Island. You still have the right to appear anywhere at will without affecting Rhodes Island. Do you understand what I mean?"

The undead remained silent, and Kal'tsit continued.

“You talked a lot with the Doctor. I could hear the difference in his tone of voice when he spoke to you, even through the wall. He didn’t talk as much in the whole day he spent on Rhodes Island as he did in these ten minutes with you.”

For some reason, Kal'tsit's tone was strange when she said that.

"Given the deep relationship between you, I hope you will accept my employment, as before, while maintaining a cooperative relationship, and participate in the Chernobog incident."

Kelsey paused for a moment, then added another sentence.

"I still need you, as a War Knight."

An undead man naturally has no reason to refuse; he was going to stay on Rhodes Island anyway.

And frankly speaking, the identity of a War Knight is really nothing to the Undead.

If it works, that's a good thing.

"can."

"Alright, I'll contact you if anything else comes up. I hope you can tell me everything honestly, including questions related to the Doctor. It shouldn't be long; we'll organize a team in the next couple of days to launch a humanitarian aid operation directly to the survivors in Chernobog."

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, the undead man stirred slightly, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Kal'tsit noticed his subtle movement and nodded slightly.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Kal'tsit believed this was a turning point in her reconciliation with the undead. Although they had previously disliked each other, the undead still had many redeeming qualities...

"Aren't you omniscient?"
