Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Xiaochiu County is not as peaceful as it seems now. The garrison here is constantly making arrests of certain groups in secret, and rumors have begun to circulate in the countryside about the ghostly troops of Deeppool."

All of this gives me a feeling that a storm is brewing.

“That’s nothing,” ACE joked. “The news from Rhodes Island’s main ship is that Qi Yan went to Letania and beat up the white one of the Twin Queens.”

This frightened Kal'tsit so much that she mistakenly blocked the representatives from Letania who had come to discuss cooperation at the ship's gate, scaring them so much that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Outcast couldn't help but chuckle.

That blunder has now spread throughout Rhodes Island, and Kal'tsit I's reputation was almost ruined because of it.

“Speaking of which, young friend Qi Yan is currently missing, and everyone is looking for him,” Outcast said with a light smile. “I wonder where he’s off to cause trouble for people now.”

ACE shrugged and joked, "He might just suddenly pop out of our sight the next second."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw a Mercedes SUV speeding wildly at almost out-of-control speed on the main road below the hillside.

Both were drawn to the almost mournful roar of the SUV's engine, and were somewhat surprised at who this person was who could be so crazy.

Then they saw a familiar white-haired Luper lean out of the car window and wave to them.

Chapter 333 Mr. Scumbag L

"Hello, Brother ACE and Grandma Outcast!"

Qi Yan's shouts, mixed with the roar of the engine, poured into the ears of ACE and his partner.

Both of them were somewhat bewildered.

Before the two could react, the SUV sped past them and disappeared into the distance.

Qi Yan's words still echoed among the hillsides:

"I broke the car brakes, I can't stop it. I'm in a hurry to get to Wolumonmold, so I can't chat with you guys anymore, wait for me..."

In a daze, they also faintly heard a woman's scream:

"Gutter! Gutter! Gutter!"

"Ore ore ore! How do you know this song?"

"Ahhh, stop singing!"

ACE: "..."

“Young friend Qi Yan, there really is a ditch ahead!” Outcast shouted.

Unfortunately, her suggestion had no effect whatsoever, and the SUV drove straight into the ditch dug out for road construction.

Just as ACE and Outcast were about to rush over to retrieve the SUV, they witnessed a red spell enveloping it.

With the help of magic, the off-road vehicle took off at an angle that defied the laws of physics and crossed the ditch.

The two stopped in their tracks, watching helplessly as the SUV sped away.

"I must be dreaming." ACE took off his sunglasses, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

“It’s hard to believe, but it’s all true.” Outcast adjusted his hat brim and said with a wry smile, “Isn’t it said that young friend Qi Yan is in Letania? But the direction he came from was clearly Sherag.”

ACE put his sunglasses back on and shook his head, saying:

“He is free, and I’m actually kind of looking forward to the day when he’ll suddenly emerge from the sea.”

"You're saying the messenger of natural disasters negates the possibility of natural disasters occurring?"

The White Queen sat in the council chamber of Wolumond, and after listening to Severin's report, her brows furrowed deeply beneath her mask.

It has been some time since she arrived in Wolumond, but neither of the two things she wanted to do has made any progress.

The military police searched the entire city for more than half a month for Qi Yan, but couldn't find even a single white hair.

However, the Scourge Messenger of Wolumond, after recalculation, surprisingly maintained its original calculation results.

The White Queen said in disbelief:

"Didn't your natural disaster messengers receive any warnings from their comrades on the Crisis Contract side?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Severin's face as he cautiously replied:

"Captain White, it's been half a month, and Biederman hasn't encountered a Crisis Contract messenger who came to his door."

Are you... sure someone from the crisis contract has arrived?

“Of course, we’ve traveled together all the way!” the White Queen affirmed.

As she spoke, she took out her terminal and dialed the contact number she had exchanged with Logos before they parted ways.

However, the terminal soon emitted a message indicating that the number she dialed did not exist.

The White Queen's proud waves surged.

At this moment, the doubts she had been suppressing for so long finally erupted completely.

She was deceived by that man!

She never dreamed that she, the Queen of Letania, would one day be deceived by a man!

"You bastard, I'll remember you!"

The White Queen gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "L, don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you up even if it means abandoning Qi Yan!"

Severin kept his head down, not daring to let the White Queen see the expression on his face.

At this moment, he was completely certain that the White Queen was the girl who followed a powerful figure. Although she held a high position and great power, she was a naive and innocent person.

When traveling alone, how can you not be careful?

See, you got scammed by that jerk!

Only after Severin and the White Queen had calmed down did they dare to continue speaking:

"Captain Bai, please calm down. I will arrange for my militia to help track down Mr. L. I will report to you immediately once I find him."

The White Queen's anger faltered.

Although she was angry, she didn't lose her temper and immediately noticed the subtle trickery in Severin's words.

"The militia?" the White Queen demanded. "Where are your military police?"

Severin swallowed hard and whispered:

"The leaders above are pressing me hard, and I've already arranged for them to organize the team. We're leaving tomorrow."

"You dare disobey my orders?"

The White Queen slammed her hand on the chair, rose angrily, and her imposing aura immediately swept over Severin.

Severin coughed again, unable to utter a complete sentence.

The White Queen took a deep breath, withdrawing her imposing aura, her purple eyes narrowing slightly:

"Something is wrong with your health. Do you have some kind of chronic bronchial disease?"

"Ahem, sorry, it's an old problem, I've been smoking too much these past few years," Severin explained casually, then added, "Captain White, I don't mean to disobey you, but please understand the difficulties of a nobody like me."

If I dared to disobey those leaders, Wolumond would face devastating retaliation, which we simply cannot afford.

The White Queen sneered, "They'll have to have a chance to retaliate. Once this Wolumonde affair is over, I'll deal with them."

Severin nodded repeatedly, but did not utter a single word of agreement.

In his view, those nobles had been hereditary for many years, and their relationships were intricate and complex. Even if Captain Bai in front of him was the voice of the Empress and directly subordinate to Her Majesty the Empress, he could not possibly be qualified to ask Her Majesty the Empress to handle such trivial matters.

Unless the Twin Queens personally order a thorough investigation, even if the Duke intervenes, he will be unable to eradicate the power of those nobles completely.

As long as the noble bloodline remains and the noble surname remains, no matter how many people fall from grace, there will always be a successor to take their place.

Ultimately, all the grudges and blood debts will be passed down from level to level and fall upon Wolumond.

Seeing Severin's determined attitude, the White Queen was even more furious.

Just as she was about to reveal some of her identity, the town's representative suddenly rushed into the council chamber in a panic.

"Something terrible has happened! The lord is in trouble!"

The town representative rushed in and said urgently, "I just received news that yesterday a thug calling himself Aatrox suddenly broke into the lord's manor and beat the lord up."

The White Queen and Severin were both startled.

A woman's intuition told her that something was off about this thug named Aatrox.

Severin, however, was more concerned about the lord's condition and quickly pressed for an answer:

"Have the thugs been captured? Is the lord seriously injured? Will this affect Wolumond?"

The town representative took a couple of breaths and shook his head repeatedly:

"It's not a matter of whether it's serious or not. That thug named Aatrox was shouting that he was Aatrox, the end of the world!"

He kept shouting in a strange tone, something like, "Noble, you deserve to die! Come, let me kill you a thousand times, it won't be enough! From now until the end of time, I will kill one hateful noble after another!"

Severin took a deep breath, followed by another violent coughing fit.

Having finally stopped coughing, he looked pale and said:

"It sounds like a persecuted madman who has lost his mind, but it's good that the lord is alright. If something had happened to him, Wolumond would have been thrown into chaos as well."

"No, let me finish!"

The town representative gasped for breath again and said urgently, "He's dead! The lord is dead!"

That Aatrox, after beating the lord, forcibly took him to the city-state's broadcasting tower and forced the lord to confess the evil deeds he had committed over the years.

Chapter 334 The protagonist always makes his appearance at the end.

"It is said that the lord was beaten badly at the radio station, and his screams frightened all the children in the city to tears."

The town representative, speaking with the air of someone who had personally experienced it, gestured wildly as he said, "In the end, the lord couldn't withstand the torment and began to confess the crimes he had committed over the years. Suddenly, all sorts of revelations came out, and the citizens of the city realized that the oppression they had suffered for so many years was actually the work of the lord."

The city's citizens were enraged, and even the military police began to lose control.

Severin looked incredulous and retorted:

"Even if the lord has committed numerous crimes, it shouldn't have caused such a huge reaction. The class difference between nobles and commoners should be enough to make most people back down."

The town representative nodded, then shook his head vigorously:

"That was how it was supposed to be, but then the sound of a violin came from the broadcasting station. It must have been some kind of Originium Arts, which caused everyone in the city to lose control of their emotions."

And because of Aatrox's prior guidance, the citizens' anger was all directed at the lord.

A dense crowd surged towards the broadcast tower and actually dismantled it with their bare hands. Not to mention the lord inside; his body was never found afterward!

“What about Aatrox?” Severin pressed.

The town representative shook his head: "After the citizens lost control, he jumped from the top of the tower and fled out of the city like a shooting star. No one could stop him... well, no one was in the mood to stop him either."

However, afterward, someone described his appearance, the most striking feature being his slicked-back hairstyle. According to Tony, the hairstylist on Fourth Avenue, it is absolutely impossible to create such a perfect slicked-back hairstyle without a long period of strong wind blowing and styling!

Oh, by the way, he's the same person Captain White is looking for—a white-haired Rupert.

The White Queen fell silent for a moment.

She was now certain that, apart from that lunatic Qi Yan, there was no one else on this land capable of such irrational behavior.

At the same time, the White Queen realized that Qi Yan had finally arrived at Wolumond as promised, despite being so late.

"Hahaha, the guy who indirectly caused the death of my Rhodes Island's lovely medic operator has finally been killed by me."

Qi Yan styled his new hair in a flamboyant manner, saying regretfully, "It's a pity that the old Witch King won't cooperate with me. I originally wanted to dye this thing red, which would have been more in line with the character I was cosplaying."

"Don't you think so, Arturo?"

"Don't talk to me." Arturo's face was tense as she sulked beside Qi Yan.

"I just got carried away and accidentally forgot you at the broadcast tower," Qi Yan chuckled. "Anyway, with your skills, you escaped on your own with ease."

Arturo rolled his eyes at him and continued to sulk.

Yes, she wasn't angry at Qi Yan, but at herself for not knowing what had gotten into her.

Even though Qi Yan had completely forgotten about her, she actually went after him after she got away.

Even though Arturo knew that it wouldn't be difficult for Qi Yan to find her, her first reaction was disappointment and anger at being forgotten by Qi Yan, and she had no intention of escaping at all.
