Amiya hurriedly took off her hazmat suit, ignoring Huang's advice, and leaped lightly.

"No matter what happens, Amiya is still Amiya," Huang said helplessly.

“That’s the real her.” ACE looked at Amiya’s retreating figure and agreed. He then looked directly at the three Yetis who wanted to join Frostnova and kindly reminded them, “Don’t make any rash moves. This is the last warning.”

Yeti One instinctively tried to resist, but Petrova and the bear stopped him.

Anyone with eyes can see what the situation is like now. If the doctor from Rhodes Island were still alive, everything would be fine.

If he dies...

Then there are no "what ifs".

"...You are the leader of Rhodes Island."

Footsteps continued to sound, and Froststar looked up at the rabbit running over the pile of rubble.

“It’s me. You can call me Amiya.”

Amiya stopped about five meters away from Frostnova, her gaze fixed on the Doctor in Frostnova's arms.

Lin Lu closed his eyes, the blood froth at the corner of his mouth froze into ice, making him look like he was asleep.

Amiya's ring instantly glowed red. She tried to control herself, but her eyes gradually turned dangerous.

Froststar gently put Lin Lu down, her gaze shifting to the yetis in the distance before settling on Amiya.

Needless to say.

Amiya raised her right hand, and Originium Arts materialized, unleashing a deluge of spindle-shaped black magic; she had no intention of holding back.

Frostnova gripped her short sword, her Originium Arts trigger, but she was still very weak. She hadn't fully recovered from the spell's backlash, and the lingering effects of Patriot's battle with Lin Lu had caused her injuries to relapse.

Even so, she would never use that as an excuse to avoid the fight.

Because she was also a soldier.

"..."

The two remained in their fighting stance for about three minutes.

This was definitely not because they were posing; rather, their spells were so short-lived that they disappeared almost as soon as they were cast.

"This is……"

Froststar tilted her head in confusion, but Amiya seemed to remember something and ran to Lin Lu.

"Doctor! Hold my hand tightly!"

Amiya did not interrupt the Originium Arts; she continued to cast spells, letting them solidify and dissipate.

Froststar looked at Amiya, then at Lin Lu, and noticed that Lin Lu's left hand trembled.

"this--"

Froststar's eyes widened, and she gasped.

Without hesitation, she decisively followed Amiya's instructions and continued to maintain the spell.

The pitch-black arcs of electricity intertwined with the pure white ice curtain, and the black and white rabbits huddled around Lin Lu, looking as if they were praying.

Lin Lu's left hand was burning hot, and the burning flag symbol was reflected on the back of his hand, shaking off Amiya's tightly clenched hand. The special mark unconsciously extracted the surrounding magic, transforming it into the purest Originium energy, which was then fed back to Lin Lu.

Clark immediately recognized his expertise.

As Amiya's face turned deathly pale from continuously casting spells, Frostnova could no longer sustain the effort, collapsing to the ground, clutching her chest, enduring the layers of frost spreading across her body. She lacked the strength to suppress Oripathy, but she was still trying to condense Originium elements.

Just then, the air took on a blurry outline, which appeared to be two characters.

Amiya looked closely and, having learned some special language from Lin Lu, immediately understood what it meant.

"Resurrection."

Chapter 400 Hug me! Right now!

——Resurrection.

Lin Lu opened his eyes.

His deep, dark cobalt blue eyes gazed at the cloud-covered sky.

Beyond the dark clouds, above the high sky, Lin Lu seemed to see a pupilless eye gazing into the distance.

They glanced at each other for a while, then the other ran off first, running incredibly fast.

Perhaps it was an ancient god who was just passing by?

Now that things have come to this, Attorney Lin wouldn't be surprised by this little thing.

"PhD?"

Amiya's adorable face occupied half of Lin Lu's field of vision, while the other half was obscured by her cascading silver hair.

On the left is Amiya, and on the right is Yelena.

Both of them looked at him anxiously, their eyes filled with worry.

Lin Lu looked at them calmly, wondering what would happen if he pretended to have amnesia at this moment.

...I have a feeling that my life is in danger. What if these two start fighting?

No matter who I help at that time, I will be disloyal and unjust!

"I'm fine, it's just a minor injury."

Lin Lu tried to reach out to comfort Amiya and Frostnova, but his right arm hadn't recovered yet; it was empty, and he couldn't feel its presence. Not only that, but even the penetrating wound in his chest was healing very slowly. It seemed he had really gone too far this time.

"So that's how it is. Besides chopping me into five pieces to form a Dark Mage, there's another way: to achieve a zero air source stone rate index on Terra. That way, I'll definitely die..." Lin Lu thought subconsciously, glancing at Amiya and Frostnova.

These two silly girls were lucky. If they hadn't done anything, Lin Lu's body would probably have activated on its own, absorbing all the Originium particles in the entire ruined city, which would have made things dangerous. Even though they were wearing protective suits, they couldn't escape the compressed high-radiation Originium environment. Moreover, thankfully, Lin Lu stopped the extraction immediately after regaining consciousness; otherwise, he would have drained their mental energy completely.

"Ritsu, are you alright?"

Froststar gently placed her hand on Lin Lu's shoulder.

Amiya's expression changed instantly. She looked at Frostnova, then at the Doctor.

Not right.

Where does this sense of déjà vu come from?

Oh, right, the regicide! The regicide was like that back then!

Amiya instinctively hugged Lin Lu's left arm tightly, staring at Froststar as if she were protecting her food.

Froststar didn't care. She was just a child who looked like he wasn't even an adult yet. What was there to worry about?

"Cough cough."

Lin Lu coughed lightly, drawing the attention of both of them.

If they continue to just watch the drama unfold, Amiya and Frostnova will definitely cause a huge conflict, and it will be difficult to put it out then.

Lin Lu thought for a moment and then asked, "Amiya, how are the Rhodes Island team... and the Yeti team doing?"

"As expected of me! I hit the nail on the head right away! Both girls are incredibly responsible; as long as the safety of the team members is mentioned, even the heated argument is no problem!" Lin Haiwang praised himself inwardly. "What is emotional intelligence? This is emotional intelligence!"

As expected, Amiya's attention was drawn to Lin Lu's question, and even Frostnova realized that her Yetis might not be safe.

"Thanks to the Doctor, we successfully evacuated the ruined city. The mobile squad is back in force, ACE and Scout are back safe and sound, and the four missing squad members have been successfully rescued. The mission objective has been achieved..."

Amiya counted on her fingers, summarizing the current situation of the squad.

Apart from the Doctor who was seriously injured, the most seriously injured person was Frostleaf; everyone else was fine.

ACE and Scout have the foundation they need; even without the medical team, they can bandage their wounds with their years of combat experience and rely on their own recovery abilities to pull through.

Amiya gestured to Huang in the distance, signaling her to come over.

Huang nodded, called out to ACE, and picked up Amiya's protective suit as he ran.

The Yetis looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.

Since that seemingly fierce middle-aged man didn't block them, he probably lowered his guard against them.

So, does that mean we can follow them?

I have a feeling that my older sister has forgotten about them... Anyway, I should go and check on them.

Amiya pointed to the group of people clumsily walking over in full protective suits and continued, "The Yeti Squad also suffered no casualties, and the Guard Bureau Squad... Oh, right! Doctor! The Lungmen Incident: the Guard Bureau building has been captured by the Reunion Movement. Superintendent Chen and the others should return to Lungmen first."

"I see."

Lin Lu nodded, showing no surprise at the sudden turn of events at Longmen.

From the commander's perspective, Mephisto's elaborate scheme was flawless, and even Lin Lu fell into the trap.

The arrival of the Patriots may have been part of Mephistopheles's plan—to use one enemy against another, which was Mephistopheles's true killing move.

Perhaps Kal'tsit considered the possibility that Lin Lu might make a mistake, which is why she handed over command of this operation to Amiya, appointing her as commander and Lin Lu as adjutant. This way, Amiya's orders could be effectively implemented when Lin Lu lost his mind and was unable to think rationally.

Kal'tsit is all-knowing and all-seeing.

...So this chaotic scene was also part of Kal'tsit's plan?

Lin Lu glanced at Frostnova, whose face was full of worry, and turned to ask, "Amiya, did the Yeti Squad fight with you?"

Amiya puffed out her cheeks slightly and said honestly, "No."

Froststar breathed a slight sigh of relief and whispered, "Then on this battlefield, we are not enemies."

"...You beat my PhD up like this, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

Amiya's gaze was resentful, and her tone was quite dissatisfied.

She couldn't possibly let the person who hurt the doctor off so easily.

patriot?

I've got it!

If I see you again, I'll dig out your skull and use it as a bowl!

Amiya's eyes flashed with malice; she had never been so angry before, and she nearly lost control and went berserk.

For a moment, she really thought she was going to lose the doctor; she couldn't imagine it, and she couldn't accept it.
