Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Qi Yan held the patient down with one hand, while playing with a scalpel in the other, and laughed:

"That's not an illusion. Shining is the Sarkaz's pardoner. His medical skills are so high that he can even pull the dead back to life. His own strength is also quite remarkable."

Do you even understand the true value of a single sword strike that can divide dawn and dusk?

"Those rumors are actually true?!" Anto's eyes widened in surprise as he casually picked up a few pieces of bone with tweezers.

"While there is some artistic embellishment involved, it is largely accurate."

Qi Yan accidentally let the scalpel slip from his hand, and it fell straight towards the patient's groin. At the last second, he managed to grab it back.

The patient gasped twice, his eyes rolled back, and he felt that he would rather die than suffer any more pain.

"However, due to some experiences, Shining herself feels a deep-seated aversion to drawing her sword, so everyone should not force her," Qi Yan continued cheerfully. "Shining has a move called Dogmatic Stance, which can enhance everyone's defense, and its effect is not much worse than her personally taking action."

If we add Nightingale from the medical department unleashing her Sanctuary, even the reserve operators could hold their own against Ace.

Anto seemed even more surprised:

"Miss Nightingale's true identity is actually a patient of Rhodes Island. Although she provides some medical assistance, she does not participate in combat. Is her Originium Arts really that powerful?"

"What do you think?"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "Shining Spirit, Nightingale, and Nearl, none of these three apostles are ordinary people."

If you think about it, Nearl might be leaving Rhodes Island soon.

Anto was so startled that his hand trembled, and the bone fragment he had just picked up with tweezers fell to the ground.

"what's the situation?!"

Before Qi Yan could explain, the patient couldn't take it anymore:

"I'm begging you two, can you please be serious? You're trying to save me!"

Qi Yan and Anto exchanged a glance and asked in unison:

"you sure?"

The patient nodded frantically.

Seeing this, the two took a deep breath, and their expressions became serious.

The atmosphere in the three-person room instantly became tense.

"Give us another sedative!"

The patient looked at the two people who had suddenly become serious, and for some reason, his heart started racing.

He always had this feeling that his condition was about to worsen and he would die on his hospital bed at any moment.

"No, boohoo... I was wrong, you guys keep chatting, don't scare me."

The patient was starting to lose control of his emotions; a grown man even started crying on his hospital bed.

"I'm not talking anymore," Anto said calmly.

The patient hurriedly shook his head and begged for mercy: "Let's chat, let's chat a little longer."

Anto rolled his eyes in annoyance and wrapped the stitched wound with a bandage:

"What's there to talk about? Your wound is treated. Go back and rest quietly. Don't move around too much and don't let the wound get wet. Next one."

Qi Yan simply lifted the hospital bed up and carried it, bed and person, to the side.

After treating the patient, Qi Yan patted his hands, which weren't dirty to begin with, and joked:

"The people of Terra are so kind. Such a serious injury is nothing to them. They just need to clean the wound and wait for it to heal naturally."

"Say such strange things again, as if you're not from Terra. Did you crawl out of the sea or something?" Anto muttered, wiping his hands with a handkerchief.

"It's also possible that it came from the demons of the North."

Qi Yan chuckled, earning another eye roll from Anto.

Anto pointed to the side and gave the order:

"Let our kind-hearted Nurse Qi bring in the next victim."

Qi Yan excitedly ran off to find the new patient, but before he had gone far, Anto called out to him:

"By the way, you just mentioned that Nearl is leaving Rhodes Island. What exactly is going on?"

Chapter 353 The cat is wronged, but the cat won't say anything.

Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit's office.

Kal'tsit finished processing the documents in front of her, put them aside, and then took out a report.

Rhodes Island's fiscal deficit... sigh.

Kal'tsit felt a wave of exhaustion after reading only the first few words of the report.

She turned to look out the window. The places Rhodes Island had passed through these past few days had been shrouded in continuous rain, which perfectly reflected her mood during this period.

"Managing such a large family business is really difficult... Will we ultimately have to let the PhD step in?"

Kal'tsit felt a surge of anger just thinking about the laughter the Doctor would let out when he learned that Rhodes Island was running a massive deficit under her watch.

In her distress, she subconsciously opened the drawer, took out a candy, and popped it into her mouth.

Then Kal'tsit's eyes widened slightly:

Qi Yan, you actually mixed Froststar's candy into my candy! She hasn't been eating these things lately!

Kal'tsit tried her best to suppress her raging anger.

The M3, which had been dozing in her pocket, trembled slightly and was startled awake. The tiny crystal quietly peeked out of the pocket, trying to find a safe corner to hide in.

A cold gaze suddenly fell on M3, causing the crystal that M3 had transformed into to visibly tremble and obediently retract back into its pocket.

Kal'tsit sighed softly. Her mood, which had been gloomy due to the fiscal deficit, was slightly relieved by Qi Yan's sweet talk and M3's antics.

She picked up the report, ready to face her shortcomings honestly.

Just then, the doctor pushed the door open and entered.

Kal'tsit instinctively threw the report into the trash can.

"What are you doing? Did you lose something?" the doctor asked, puzzled.

"Everyone has their own responsibilities. Interfering too much in other people's affairs is not helpful. On the contrary, it will only exacerbate the originally stable situation and eventually lead to conflict."

Kal'tsit remained expressionless, but whether it was the candy in her mouth or something else, she felt her face burning slightly.

A hint of suspicion flashed across the doctor's face beneath the mask.

However, he had just drunk a dose of sanity potion before coming, so he wisely chose to ignore the anomaly and stepped forward to place two reports down:

"At the strong request of Miss Wang Vina, and at the request of a certain Ms. Himer who wishes to remain anonymous, the Defense Department has recently strengthened the monitoring of the entire ship. Saria from the Defense Department is so busy that she can't leave Rhodes Island at all."

That's why Saria actually discovered that unidentified individuals were attempting to infiltrate the ship.

Kal'tsit's expression turned serious, signaling the Doctor to continue.

The professor turned and went to the water dispenser to get himself a glass of water. Then he pulled up a chair, sat down slowly, and continued:

"The first two times, Saria personally went to capture the other party, but the other party was very fast and escaped both times."

Afterwards, Saria asked Scout, the island's best detective and tracker, to help. They finally caught the enemy's trail on the enemy's third attempt to infiltrate.

Unfortunately, the opponent's speed was beyond human comprehension. Scout tracked them for three days, but they still managed to escape.

All that is known at present is that the other party is an Agorian woman, tall in stature, and capable of exceeding the speed of sound.

After listening to the Doctor's report, Kal'tsit fell into deep thought:

"Do you have any idea?"

“Yes, but not many.” The doctor tossed his empty water glass into the trash can and proudly tilted his head back, saying, “Based on Yera’s description, this woman is very likely the little tail I brought back from Iberia.”

Kelsey: “…”

The Doctor lowered his proud head, looked at the pensive Kal'tsit, and asked in confusion:

What are you thinking about?

“I’m also thinking about two things,” Kal’tsit said expressionlessly. “First, I plan to ask Qi Yan if he knows where there are any more stone coffins in this land after he returns.”

In my opinion, you really need to go back to school and start over.

The pride on the doctor's face froze instantly.

Seeing that she had successfully frightened the Doctor, Kal'tsit continued:

"Secondly, the infiltrators are not to be underestimated and we need to take them seriously. You should ask Saria and Scout to be on high alert these days. As long as we hold out until Qi Yan returns, we can ask him for information about them."

"Indeed, Qi Yan has become synonymous with omniscience in your mind."

The doctor's tone suddenly took on a sarcastic tone.

Kal'tsit naturally noticed the change in the Doctor's tone. She looked at the Doctor with confusion, waiting for him to explain.

The doctor sat in the chair, crossed his legs, and rested his chin on his hands.

In that instant, the doctor's aura suddenly became unfathomable.

Kal'tsit's pupils contracted slightly, and she almost shouted out "M3".

"Don't be nervous, Kal'tsit, I'm still me."

The doctor said calmly, "But you've changed."

Kal'tsit stared intently at the Doctor, one hand lightly resting on the edge of her pocket, her vigilance undiminished by the Doctor's reassurance.

The doctor didn't seem to care and continued speaking:

"Kal'tsit, I know you're afraid of some things about me, and to be honest, you're going a bit too far, but I don't mind, just like Qi Yan doesn't mind you treating him like a dog-like cheat."

Just because he doesn't mind doesn't mean I, or certain others not limited to me, don't mind either.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Kal'tsit's voice gradually turned cold.

"Qi Yan is very strong, and he knows a lot of strange and unusual information, but that's not a reason for us to rely on him for everything."

The Doctor stared intently into Kal'tsit's eyes from beneath his mask: "He is our friend. He wants to be our friend. Friends can trust each other, but they cannot place all the burdens on each other's shoulders."

I know Qi Yan likes to tease you. He is willing to protect you and Amiya. Amiya can do this because she is a little girl and is at an age where she should be cared for.

But you are different, Kal'tsit. You and I are both adults and should take responsibility for ourselves. That's all I have to say.

Kal'tsit lowered her hand from her pocket and clenched her teeth inwardly.

This isn't the first time someone has said this about her.

Kal'tsit suddenly felt a little tired and a little wronged, but she chose to remain silent.

The professor lowered his hands, his imposing manner instantly crumbling, and he reverted to his usual nonchalant demeanor.

"To be honest, let's stick to the facts. I was just chatting with you for a bit, so please don't take it to heart. I know I went a little too far, but I was really just rambling on. I forgot to drink my sanity potion, hehe."

"Report on the second matter," Kal'tsit said calmly.

"Well, the second thing is that Nearl asked me to temporarily leave Rhodes Island," the Doctor shrugged.

Kal'tsit forcibly composed herself, her brow furrowing as she said:

What was her reason for submitting the application?

The professor scratched his head and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Would you believe me if I said it was because she read the newspaper in Casimir these past few days?"

"Perhaps you really need to regain some rationality. I don't mind letting M3 do it for you."

Kal'tsit slammed the M3 crystal onto the table with a dull thud.

M3's aggrieved growl came from inside the crystal.

The doctor shuddered, quickly sat up straight, and rattled off a string of words:

"Near Light is a Casimirian. She said she saw news about her younger sister in the newspaper, and it seemed that she participated in some kind of knightly competition."

After reading the news, Nearl became extremely agitated. This morning, she took Shining and Nightingale and sped off on a motorcycle; the others couldn't catch up.
