NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

She had Lhapi and Yinhua watching her at the outpost, so why was she still being watched here...?

She just wanted to be affectionate with the commander, what's wrong with that?!

Moreover, the commander was clearly quite happy about it!

“Rooms in the park do not allow two or more people to stay together.” Isabel grabbed Anis by the collar like a chick and left, not even giving Li Zuoyi a chance to speak.

"You definitely made this up on the spot!" Anies' voice faded into the distance.

"Anis, let's talk about it tomorrow..." Li Zuoyi scratched his hair, which seemed to be dry.

Then I'll just go to sleep. Although I feel a bit unwell, there's nothing I can do about it.

……

midnight.

In the darkness, Li Zuoyi, who had finally fallen asleep, felt something was wrong with his body and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Sorry, was I too rough?" Isabel said, half-lying on him.

In that case, my dear won't be able to move.

"What are you doing?"

"I saw you were holding it in... so I wanted to use my hand..."

At that moment, Li Zuoyi felt the warm body pressed against him was extremely smooth and tender...

"You're not wearing anything?"

"I came here after taking a shower, and I draped my clothes over the back of the chair."

"Didn't you say that two people can't live together?"

"I left as soon as it was over, so I didn't stay."

"Who told you to do this?"

“It was me,” Isabel whispered in his ear, her voice alluring. “I was captivated by your dashing figure at the Missilis Manor.”

This is one of the reasons.

Another reason is that if you like something, you want to possess it and you can't tolerate others criticizing it.

If it weren't for Anis's sudden advances, she had originally planned to cultivate her relationship with her beloved gradually.

In her haste, she did something outrageous.

So it's all Anies' fault!

But my dear seems to like it too... hehehe.

"Did you hear that...?" Li Zuoyi remembered that she could not only fly, but also seemed to have excellent hearing.

“It’s alright, I will always keep your secret, my dear… and your chastity.” Isabel leaned down and kissed his lips, saying, “I will come at this time in the next few days as well, remember not to leave any other women in the room.”

Chapter Ninety-Three: Dorothy's Invitation

Early the next morning.

Li Zuoyi opened his eyes wearily. The seat next to him was still warm, so Isabel must have just left.

You said you wouldn't let me stay overnight...

'knock knock'

Three rhythmic knocks sounded on the door.

"Good morning."

A voice that surprised Li Zuoyi came from outside the door; it was Dorothy.

Li Zuoyi told her to wait a moment, tidied himself up a bit, put on his clothes, and opened the door.

"Good morning." Dorothy noticed Li Zuoyi's slightly dark circles and asked with a puzzled look, "Didn't you get enough rest? Was the room unsuitable? Or..."

"It's nothing." Li Zuoyi quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did you need something from me?"

“Yes.” Dorothy smiled faintly. “But before that, let’s have breakfast first.”

After washing up, Li Zuoyi was taken to a restaurant for breakfast. After breakfast, Dorothy said she wanted to go to the glass obelisk in the center of the park, so Li Zuoyi had no choice but to follow her.

In the lobby on the first floor, Li Zuoyi encountered his counterattack force and the Metis forces heading to the restaurant.

Lhabi appeared to be alright and greeted him as usual.

Anis smiled broadly when he saw Li Zuoyi, while Nien silently followed behind the two.

On the Metis side, Laplace still had his head down, and his mood seemed to remain low.

Maxwell shook his head helplessly at Li Zuoyi.

“Someone will tell you about your Nikki’s test results in person later, so don’t worry,” Dorothy told him.

Li Zuo nodded slightly.

So the two of them took the elevator to the upper floors of the obelisk.

'Ding'

The elevator door opens.

This floor looks like a laboratory.

Upon hearing the noise, a white-haired woman in a white lab coat put down the test tube she was holding, turned around, and said to them:

"You are here."

That intellectual voice, there's no mistake, it's Cecil... Li Zuo recognized it the moment he heard the voice.

"This must be Commander Li Zuoyi from Ark," Cecil greeted Li Zuoyi indifferently. "Nice to meet you, I'm Cecil."

It seems they're pretending they've never been in contact... Li Zuoyi replied, "Hello."

"How are the test results?" Dorothy walked over to Cecil and asked, looking at the things on the table.

“It works perfectly,” Cecil replied. “Good luck.”

"That's great." Dorothy patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Left standing to the side, Li Zuoyi couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to show me?"

Dorothy kept him in suspense the whole way, saying that she would show him something when they got here.

Dorothy poured the contents of the test tube Cecil had just put down into her hand and showed it to him. "You should have seen this before."

In her hand were two crystal-clear bullets with a red dot in the center.

"Antidote".

He wouldn't mistake that familiar look.

“We found it in another abandoned laboratory a while ago,” Dorothy said. “Cecil also tested its concentration, and it still has the effect of an antidote.”

"You plan to use it to deal with the fire dragon?" Li Zuoyi asked.

Dorothy nodded and said, "So I would like to invite you to join the battle against the fire dragon."

You demonstrated exceptional abilities during the Indivilla incident. With your participation, the situation could certainly be resolved perfectly.

Moreover, you've heard that you seem to be targeted by a fire dragon..."

"Is this John's idea?" Li Zuoyi asked.

"No, it was my idea. Commander John just asked me to show you around the park so that you can adapt quickly if you choose to go there in the future."

“I think this is a pretty good plan for both you and the park.” Dorothy tilted her head, her expression puzzled, like an innocent girl who doesn’t know what’s going on. “Don’t you think so?”

Li Zuoyi thought for a moment and said, "I will discuss this with John."

He didn't intend to give Dorothy an answer directly, mainly because he couldn't see through her thoughts.

“Okay.” Dorothy smiled and said to Cecil, “Cecil, could you please tell Mr. Li Zuoyi about the results of his Nikki test last night?”

“I understand,” Cecil said.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs. I'll take you on a tour of the park later."

Dorothy returned the antidote to Cecil and then took the elevator downstairs.

“You got here even earlier than I expected,” Cecil said, looking at him.

“I’ve encountered an unforeseen event…” Li Zuoyi saw her take a syringe from the sterilizer next to her, attach a needle, and asked, “What are you doing?”

"Draw blood."

"who?"

"yours."

Seeing Li Zuoyi take two steps back, Cecil had no choice but to point to the bullet he had casually placed on the impact point and say:

“I lied. This antidote has long since lost its effectiveness. If we want to deal with Nihilista, we need your blood. You don’t want to be watched by a heretic all the time, do you?”

"Who told you to say such scary things on the phone..."

Li Zuoyi obediently rolled up his sleeves, found a chair to sit down, placed his arm on the table for her to draw blood, and said:

"Tell me about the testing results from my unit."

Cecil was drawing blood for the first time, so he wasn't very good at finding veins and had to get closer to look. He said, "Only the two Nikis named Lapi and Laplace have problems."

Feeling the softness of Cecil's chest against his wrist, Li Zuoyi said, "I can roughly guess that Laplace's suppressed fears have erupted because of the loss of NIMPH."

As natural-born weapons, Nikis have no fear, all thanks to NIMPH working in their brains.

“But her teammates are in a much better situation.” Cecil finally found a vein, inserted the needle, and slowly drew blood, saying:

"Laplace's current withdrawn state is mainly due to her PTSD. The period when she was afflicted with it likely left her with indelible psychological trauma."

“Laplace has PTSD…” Li Zuoyi asked, “What about Lapi?”

"She's a bit special...it's because of her health."

Cecil drew half a tube of blood, stopped the bleeding, and then injected it into several test tubes, sealed them up, and said to him, "I have never seen such a strange body... it's like another Niki was forcibly stuffed into her body."

Li Zuoyi thought this was probably the reason why Lhapi's hair turned red...

“I heard she had an unusual state when facing the fire dragon. Do you know anything about it?” Cecil asked.

Li Zuoyi shook his head.

“I think you should pay attention to this,” Cecil said. “It seems like her other body is showing signs of coming to life.”

Chapter Ninety-Four: Dorothy: If he dies...

"Bai Xue, this is... a bandage?"

"Dorothy, please analyze the blood on this for me."

"You and Rapunzel haven't given up yet? More than a hundred years have passed, is the Commander really still alive?"

"Please, Rapunzel also said it fits perfectly."

"...Okay, what kind of person is that?"

"He's also a commander..."

It really does look alike... That's what Dorothy thought after hearing Snow White's story.

What if it really is him?

Clinging to hope once again, she handed the blood-stained bandage to Cecil for inspection.

……

"Marianne?"

Seeing him being tackled by the heretic, Dorothy instinctively wanted to pull her away, feeling slightly annoyed.

Just as Rapunzel said, he is very much like the Commander in every way, both in personality and ability.

Although their abilities are the same, the specific effects they demonstrate are vastly different.
