Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The tower sorcerer who was walking in front of Gertrude stopped, bowed to the depths of the hall, and slowly retreated.

Gertrude quickly bowed in greeting.

Before she could bend down, a surge of magic locked her firmly in place.

"Stand up." The tower warlock, who was about to step down, gathered magical light at his fingertips. "You are not worthy to bow to the master."

Cold sweat broke out on Gertrude's back. She carefully straightened up and obediently waited with her head down.

After a moment, Gertrude heard a deep, muffled voice:

"You have some kind of collaboration with Qi Yan?"

The voice seemed to be muffled by something, indistinct and unclear. Gertrude could only make out the content, and couldn't even tell if the person was male or female.

“…Yes.” Gertrude hesitated for a moment before deciding not to hide it.

After she finished speaking, her muscles tensed up, ready to face any attack that might come at any moment.

The expected outrage did not materialize.

The voice asked again:

What are the details of the cooperation?

Gertrude answered honestly, "He has obtained the voice of the mortal world."

"And what about your compensation?"

"I dare not ask for compensation when cooperating with such a powerful person."

The hall fell silent once again.

A moment later, the voice rang out:

"You are both smart and stupid."

"The sounds of the mortal world belong to Letania; who do you think you are to dictate them?"

Gertrude bowed her head and replied, "I have no other choice."

"But now you have a choice again. Go find Qi Yan and tell him to give up the Sound of the Mortal World, and I can forgive him for killing my people."

The dull voice was devoid of any emotion: "You need to make him understand that this is my final ultimatum. If he doesn't agree, then you don't need to come back."

"……Yes."

Gertrude acknowledged and slowly retreated out of the hall.

Back in the corridor, the tower sorcerer said nothing and turned to lead the way.

She followed the tower sorcerer away from the tower, but he turned back immediately, leaving Gertrude alone at the foot of the towering tower.

Gertrude turned her head to look at the top of the tower, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Bai'e walked down the hotel corridor, rubbing his temples with a slight headache.

He felt he had been deceived.

He stayed overnight at Czerny's house last night and, as planned, played a segment of the Earthly Sounds.

As a result, Czerny clearly caught the virus and became depressed.

Even after the chalk stopped playing, Czerny quickly fell into a state of excitement and began to compose, but every time his inspiration was interrupted, he had to go through the process of depression again.

Bai Er felt heartbroken just watching from the sidelines.

The two of them toiled away all night, making little progress and keeping Ursula, who was at home, awake as well.

Early in the morning, in order to allow Cherny and Ursula to get a good rest, Bai took the initiative to say goodbye to the two and went to the hotel arranged by Murphy to find his grandfather.

Shaking his head, which was also a little dizzy, Bai'e temporarily put aside these concerns, found his grandfather's room, and knocked on the door.

But after knocking for a while, no one answered from inside the room.

Bai'e felt a sudden tightness in his heart, and his mind uncontrollably conjured up images of his grandfather falling down, suffering from a sudden onset of carnivorous disease, or slipping into the bathtub while taking a bath.

Just as he turned and ran quickly downstairs to the front desk, a figure dressed as a maid appeared in the corridor.

Bai'e saw the other person and immediately stopped and bowed before preparing to continue running downstairs.

Seeing the nervous look on White's face and glancing in the direction White had come from, Arturo immediately guessed what had happened.

"Don't worry, your grandfather is fine. He went out by himself this morning," Arturo reminded him.

Hearing this, Bai'e felt somewhat relieved, but was still not completely at ease:

"My grandfather's health is getting worse and worse, and I'm still worried about him going out alone. Teacher, do you know where he went?"

"do not know."

Arturo shook his head, then prepared to turn and leave.

Bai'e was already used to his teacher's somewhat indifferent attitude. With his grandfather on his mind, he quickly ran out of the hotel after saying goodbye.

Arturo stood silently in the corridor for a moment before turning around and returning to his room, pushing the door open and entering.

Inside the room, a man was already waiting there.

Arturo glanced at the sheets beneath the man sitting on him, a barely perceptible look of disgust flashing in his eyes.

The man sized Arturo up and down, then whistled lightly and teased:

"Beautiful lady, it seems you haven't been having a good time lately, so much so that you've fallen on hard times and have to wear a maid's outfit to make ends meet."

"Would you like to come with me for a stroll in the streets? I'd gladly spend my entire fortune to find you the finest gowns in Letania."

“This is outside the scope of our cooperation.” Arturo looked at the man indifferently, clearly in a bad mood. “My agreement with your master included protecting my personal freedom, but now that I have been sent to Qi Yan’s side by the Queen’s Voice, why are you not making any move?”

The man laughed and braced his hands on the bed sheet, wrinkling the once-neat sheet.

Completely oblivious to the fact that his actions were pushing Arturo to his limits, he continued, saying to himself:

"That is Qi Yan after all. Based on the strength he has shown, he is definitely a powerhouse at the same level as the Witch King. Without the Lord's personal permission, how dare we offend him at will?"

But things are different now. Qi Yan has been arrogant for too long, and he's even reaching for things he shouldn't. If he can come to his senses in time, he can leave Letania. If not, we don't mind leaving him here.

Arturo looked at the man intently, and suddenly felt like laughing.

She was somewhat impressed by the Elector's sophisticated brainwashing techniques.

If the Elector was truly confident in subduing Qi Yan, why would he repeatedly try to test him? He would have already surrounded Murphy's manor and started using Originium Arts to plow the land.

"So, am I free now?"

Arturo had no intention of enlightening the other party; he was only concerned with getting away from this troublesome place as soon as possible.

"Not yet, beautiful lady." The man raised his index finger and shook it gently. "We need your cooperation now. How can we bear to pull out such a perfect nail like you, lurking beside Qi Yan?"

This time, Arturo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hiding near Qi Yan, waiting for an opportunity to ambush him?

Arturo hadn't forgotten the blow Qi Yan had dealt her when they first met.

She even suspected that if Qi Yan wanted to know the style of her underwear, he could find out, let alone something like which camp she belonged to.

Qi Yan kept her by his side not because he hadn't noticed her problems, but because he deliberately kept her around to relieve his boredom.

"If that's your only goal, then you can leave."

Arturo stepped aside to let him through the door, giving him the order to leave without any politeness.

Are you sure you want to reject me?

The man's tone was slightly somber.

Looking at the man's condescending attitude, Arturo suddenly remembered a word he had learned from Qi Yan a few days ago.

“Puxin, you’re really going all out.” Arturo sneered. “How I make decisions is none of your business. I will take action myself when the time is right.”

Chapter 302 is getting chaotic, but not completely chaotic.

The man frowned. Although he didn't understand what a "Puxin man" was, he still managed to grasp the sarcasm in Arturo's tone.

"You'd better!"

His face darkened, and he got up and walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the door, Arturo suddenly called out to him.

The man smirked, taking this as a sign that Arturo was about to relent, and slowly turned around.

Before he could speak, he saw Arturo carefully put on maid gloves for himself, then lift the sheet, crumple it into a ball, and toss it to him.

"Don't forget to take the trash you create with you."

Arturo threw out the sheet, not forgetting to take off his gloves and throw them over as well.

The man's face turned pale and then red, and he became so angry that his breathing became rapid.

Arturo noticed the man's reaction, her brows furrowed, and she bent down to pull out a bottle of air freshener from the corner of the room, spraying it in front of the man.

This action nearly made the man's lungs explode with anger.

He gritted his teeth, glared at Arturo with hatred, and turned away angrily.

After the man left, Arturo threw the air freshener into the trash can, rested his smooth chin on his hand, and fell into deep thought.

"When faced with two evils, we must choose the lesser one; it seems we have no choice but to make a decision."

Arturo adjusted her maid outfit in front of the mirror in the room, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"I hope your confidence isn't arrogance, but rather genuine fearlessness."

Having made up his mind, Arturo didn't linger any longer, pushed open the door and left the room, heading towards Murphy Manor.

Not long after she left, the door at the end of the corridor was pushed open, and Murphy's butler came out, silently looking at Arturo's door with a tight-lipped expression.

"Ha, really, everyone's starting to make decisions. Once the positions are settled, they'll probably tear off all pretenses and start fighting."

The butler took out his terminal, looked at the text message Murphy had sent him that morning, and his expression was somewhat complicated:

"Dismissing all the servants, are you also preparing to side with Qi Yan?"

But you are the Queen's voice! How can a traitor possibly have a good end?

The butler's sigh echoed down the corridor.

He then dialed a number and held up the terminal:

"It has been confirmed that the Queen's Voice, Murphy, has chosen to betray."

"Woof woof woof!"

"Woof woof, roar, woof woof woof!"

Two incredibly lifelike dog barks echoed through the street.

Many pedestrians instinctively thought someone's rabid dog had run out and quickly dodged to the sides.

Upon closer inspection, they were horrified to discover that the barking was actually coming from two people dressed in aristocratic attire.

Behind the two nobles who were lying on the ground like dogs, a white-haired Luper was leisurely strolling around, holding the end of a leash.

Pedestrians on the street were so frightened by this bizarre scene that they kept their distance.

"What's going on? I'm going to faint from this noble game."

"Wait a minute, isn't that Qi Yan, a judge from The Voice of China, the one holding the rope?"

"Breaking news! Shocking! A celebrity from a wildly popular TV show is walking his dog like this!"

Many people couldn't resist taking photos or even recording videos with their devices.

Qi Yan tugged at the dog leash, signaling the gentleman and Hu to stop, and then naturally posed for the cameras.

While striking a pose, Qi Yan didn't forget to loudly emphasize:

"Don't post it directly. Go back and edit the picture to make me look more handsome before you post it, or I'll unleash my dogs on you!"

Come on, Wangcai and Laifu, give them a good beating!

The gentleman and his companion blushed, wishing they could disappear into the ground.

But they dared not disobey Qi Yan's orders.
