Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Then, don't let me break it this time. This is the latest model and very expensive."

Beichen threw a game controller to Ifrit.

"Hehehe, I promise you won't get angry while playing games this time, don't worry."

Ifrit took the handle with a smile and said.

Beichen sighed, took out the game console, and held a moment of silence in his heart for the handle that had been burned into black coal by Ifrit.

Ifrit played the game quietly this time. Although she would click the handle when she was anxious, it was much better than last time.

If Beichen hadn't reacted quickly and put away the game console in time, it wouldn't have just been the controller that suffered.

"Okay, it's come to this point. It's time for me to leave. I'll see you next time."

Beichen looked at the time and saw that it was indeed getting late. He could have dinner and go back to the dormitory.

Well, I hope Ji Jie is there too.

"Huh, you left so early again this time. If you don't come to me next time, be careful I'll beat you!"

"Next time definitely!"

Flame Demon (I)

"Here...where is this?"

Ifrit, lying on the hospital bed, opened her eyes blankly.

The glaring light shone into her eyes. She felt a soreness in her eyes and wanted to reach out her hand to block the light.

She tried to do so, but her arms were completely unable to move.

Oh, it turns out that my hands are tied again.

Ifrit closed her eyes and turned her head away, but the glaring light still made her very irritated and uneasy.

It hurts and is very uncomfortable, as if fire is burning on my body and will gradually devour me.

It's strange, why would I think this way? I definitely wouldn't have thought this way before.

I'm going to release the flames and burn the people who have tied my hands and feet and the white coats next to me into ashes!

Why didn't I do that?

The needle pierced Ifrit's neck and the liquid was injected into her body.

Her vision gradually became blurred, and the pain in her body also subsided.

In a trance, she saw several people in white coats circling around her bed.

She forced her eyelids open, wanting to see the faces of those people clearly. She wanted to open her mouth and call out that person's name.

The fear overwhelmed her rationality, but she still couldn't stop feeling sleepy.

She finally closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally opened her eyes again.

The light was still glaring, but she opened her eyes wide and seemed to hear a familiar voice.

Ifrit tried desperately to turn his head and look at where the man was.

However, the pain in her body almost made it impossible for her to breathe, and she could only barely see the man's back.

His mouth opened and closed, but not a single word came out.

The door of the ward opened and several people in white coats walked in.

But Ifrit ignored them, she just stared at the man outside the window.

"What is the status of the experimental subject? Has all the data been collected?"

A man holding a lab report asked the two people beside him.

"The data has been collected. The data is normal, even better than expected. Should we continue the experiment as planned?"

The person next to him was operating the computer and then answered.

"Increase the dosage and change the blood test to three times a day. Haha, the data doesn't lie. It really is... a real monster."

What monster? I'm not a monster!

Ifrit naturally heard what he said.

The burning sensation in my body became more obvious, as if it was about to burst out.

But that person said that this was not a good idea. She said that I was already grown up and should learn to control myself.

This will make her unhappy and angry, and I don't want to make her angry.

Ifrit's attention was still focused on the man outside the window.

Even as the needle pierced her thin arm, blood of a strange color was drawn out.

Wait, where are you taking her?

The figure who was talking to several other people outside the window put his hands back into his pockets and walked away with the others.

Where are you going? Take me with you! Take me with you!

The figure gradually faded in her sight until it disappeared.

"The condition of the experimental subject is unstable, and the data is abnormal!"

"The temperature in the lab is rising!"

"Quick, inject the sedative, quick!"

"The needle tip... is melted?"

"Evacuate, evacuate! Contact the Defense Department!"

"It's...it's too late."

Ifrit fell off the hospital bed. She struggled to get up and tore off all the medical and experimental instruments on her body.

Even though this will hurt...it doesn't seem to hurt as much as usual?

A strange smile appeared on her face, not because of the pain, but because of those people who were screaming in the flames and experiencing the same heart-wrenching pain as her.

By the way, I want to go find that person.

She slowly moved her feet and chased in the direction the man left.

Behind her was a hellish scene, with everything in a raging sea of ​​fire.

Finally, she found the person.

"you......."

"I?"

Ifrit wanted to shout out her name.

The person turned around with an angry expression on her face. She pointed at Ifrit's back and said angrily: "Ifrit, look at what you have done! Do you want to kill us all?"

"No, that's not the case..."

Ifrit's eyes became moist, but before the tears could flow, the high temperature took away all the moisture.

"Hemer!"

"What's wrong, Ifrit?"

Gentle words rang in her ears, followed by the man's warm embrace.

"Hey, Hemer, I had a very bad dream."

Ifrit finally couldn't bear it anymore, she kept sobbing in Hemer's arms.

Hemer kept stroking Ifrit's shrugging shoulders.

"In that dream, you......"

"Okay, you don't have to say any more."

Hemer interrupted Ifrit and pressed her body a little closer to his.

"Don't worry, I'll always be here."

Hemer patted Ifrit's back gently and spoke tenderly.

Ifrit hugged Hemer tightly, feeling the warmth from her body. After a long while, she stammered and asked.

"He, Hemer, can we skip the physical examination tomorrow? I......"

Ifrit wanted to say something more, but she lowered her head and held the rest of her words back in her stomach.

Hemer continued to comfort her, "It's okay. This time, just like the previous ones, I will be in charge of the inspection. I can guarantee that you will not be hurt in any way."

"I know, but I just feel very uncomfortable and scared. Although you always tell me, Hemer, that they are all good people, but, but..."

Ifrit buried her head in Hemer's arms again, choking with sobs.

Hemer opened and closed his mouth, but no words came out.

"Hemer, can we leave here? Go to a place where no one can find us, or go to Saria, she will protect us, right?"

Hemer whispered in her ear: "But isn't it nice here? The doctor will come to see you whenever he is free. Even if you burn his books and burn a few holes in his clothes, he won't be angry, and he will even bring you candy."

Hemer picked up a candy hidden under the pillow, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed the candy into Ifrit's mouth.

"Besides, here, we are safe, Hemer is safe, Ifrit is safe."

With candy in her mouth, Ifrit said incoherently, "If they can protect Hemer's safety, then I agree to stay here."

"Will do."

Hemer replied firmly.

Finally, Ifrit fell asleep.

Hemer sighed, took off his glasses and wiped the dust off them.

She looked out the porthole at the wilderness outside.

It has been almost half a year since I came to Rhodes Island. Has Ifrit not yet accepted this place?

Flame Demon (II)

"It's just a normal physical examination. I'm here with you, so it'll be fine."

Hemer gently placed Ifrit on the bed and comforted her.

It’s still so light. Although the food in Rhodes Island is really good, Ifrit never eats well.

Hemer laughed helplessly.

No, now is not the time to think about this, Hemer looked at Ifrit and continued.

"The other people around me are all good people. You can't hurt them."

"Okay, okay, I got it, go get busy."

Kal'tsit and the Doctor were standing outside the ward at this time, watching Hemer and other medical operators busy inside.

Ever since something went wrong with Ifrit's first physical examination upon arriving in Rhodes Island, these two people have been present at every physical examination of Ifrit.

Amiya and White-Faced Owl are sometimes there, but they are probably busy with other things right now.

"It's okay, it's okay, just a simple physical check."

Hemer kept muttering to himself, and it was unclear whether he was comforting Ifrit or herself.

After all, the first physical examination directly burned down the entire medical room.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, otherwise she would be embarrassed to continue living in Rhodes Island with Ifrit.

"The medical equipment is working normally and the patient's condition is currently stable. Doctor Hemer, which one should we start with?"

"Just follow the regular Rhodes Island operator inspection. As for the special items, leave them for last."

While answering questions from other medical operators, Hemer stretched out his hand to operate the medical equipment.
