Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Have Anto organize the report and send it to Kal'tsit and the Doctor. They can then highlight the key points and explain them to Amiya."

The Witch King had heard these names from Qi Yan over the past few days and knew a little about them.

He let out a sneer:

"A little girl is having a naive dream, and you're wasting your time trying to help her."

If you ask me, with your strength, you could easily establish an unprecedented dynasty and rule this continent.

Then everyone will have to submit to you. If you want the infected to rise up, it's just a matter of a word.

"What's the difference between that and now?" Qi Yan asked rhetorically.

The Witch King fell silent.

In the silence, Qi Yan's head suddenly tilted to the side without warning, and his body swayed slightly, almost causing him to fall, but he quickly recovered.

"Phew, I died again." Qi Yan chuckled and joked after settling down. "I suddenly understand Kal'tsit a little. She probably goes through this cycle of reincarnation again and again, and every time she opens her eyes again, she sees the same land that has never changed."

The thought of it is utterly despairing. Saving this land sounds noble, but the reality is truly daunting.

The Witch King exclaimed in surprise, "That woman named Kal'tsit, is she immortal like you?"

"Who knows."

Qi Yan casually remarked, "Given the cannibalistic nature of this land, she might just be killed by a knife one day when we finally see the light of victory."

The Witch King: "..."

The conversation gradually took a turn in a direction he couldn't understand.

Qi Yan sighed, raised his hand to scratch his head, and seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat dejected.

Before the Witch King could ask a question in surprise, he heard Qi Yan mutter:

"My beloved slicked-back hairstyle has gone back to its normal wash-cut and blow-dry style after not going out for a few days."

"You guy!"

The Witch King uttered a remark that sounded like an insult, then vanished again.

Qi Yan smiled, ignored the departing Witch King, stood up and found a corner.

Based on the patterns he's observed over the past few days, he needs to sleep more, otherwise he'll experience more sudden deaths.

Anto, who was leading the cleanup team, seemed to sense something and turned to look at Qi Yan, who was dozing off in the shadows, with some doubt in his heart.

"Has Qi Yan been much quieter these days?"

She turned to Sarkaz beside her and said, "You've caused less trouble and you're much more serious now. You used to always seem to have too much energy."

The Sarkaz placed the active Originium he had collected into his storage bag before replying:

"Maybe he's trying to revive his shattered image as a benevolent savior. We were completely fooled by him back then, thinking we'd met a living bodhisattva who would save us from suffering."

After spending more time with him, I realized that he was clearly a living devil, a savior of suffering!

(As usual, I'll eat first, then play with the cat, and finally post Chapter 3.)

Chapter 359 Hehe, lap pillow, hehehe

Anto was amused by Sarkaz's words.

Her laughter sounded somewhat muffled beneath her protective suit.

After laughing a few times, Anto turned to look at Qi Yan, who was clearly asleep, his doubts growing stronger.

She hesitated for a moment, then put down her work for the time being, gave a few words of advice to the people around her, and left quickly in her protective suit.

However, instead of going directly to Qi Yan, she crossed the fountain and walked away into the distance...

In his sleep, Qi Yan suddenly smelled a moist, refreshing fragrance.

He opened his eyes and saw Anto standing in front of him with wet hair. Anto still smelled damp, obviously having just taken a shower and rushed over.

"What's going on?" Qi Yan sat up, puzzled. "Suddenly washing yourself all clean, does that mean it's time to start?"

Anto clenched his little fist and punched Qi Yan's shoulder hard.

Qi Yan immediately lay down on the ground and tightly hugged Anto's ankle:

"Ouch, the doctor hit me! I won't get up until I'm allowed to lick it!"

"Stop messing around!" Anto said, somewhat annoyed. "I have something important to ask you."

Seeing that Anto seemed to really have something to do, Qi Yan awkwardly withdrew his hand, sat up, and pretended to be obedient and compliant.

Anto was not fooled by Qi Yan's pretense. He carefully examined Qi Yan and questioned him:

Have you been feeling unwell lately?

"I do not feel well?"

Qi Yan found it somewhat amusing: "Don't worry, I'm not dead."

Anto didn't believe a word of such nonsense.

She stroked her chin, as if inspecting goods, and circled around Qi Yan.

Qi Yan's head followed her footsteps, turning until his neck made a cracking sound, at which point he grimaced, clutching his head and turning back.

Anto couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Qi Yan making funny faces.

It seems to be just as unconventional as before, with nothing really different.

Am I overthinking it?

Anto felt a little relieved and looked into Qi Yan's golden eyes, preparing to say something.

But when he met those eyes, a sudden inspiration flashed in Anto's mind.

"Golden Eyes! You've been using Golden Eyes the whole time!"

Anto exclaimed urgently, "You usually need to sleep for a while after activating your Golden Eyes, but you've been maintaining that state since the natural disaster started. Your body won't be able to handle it!"

Qi Yan chuckled twice and waved his hand, saying:

"Don't worry, I'm not dead..."

Anto interrupted him abruptly, pressing down hard on Qi Yan's shoulder:

"Don't give me that nonsense. No matter how strong you are, you can't take your physical condition for granted!"

Now, you get some rest!

Qi Yan: "..."

He turned his head and glanced at the ground where he had just been lying.

"Um, do you think it's possible that I was resting before you woke me up?" Qi Yan asked seriously.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Anto's face, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

Despite his worries, Anto seemed somewhat conflicted.

After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and knelt down in front of Qi Yan.

Under Qi Yan's puzzled gaze, Anto's face flushed slightly:

"Come to my pillow. I've learned some massage techniques that might help relieve the burden on your body."

Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He glanced down at Anto's fair and smooth legs, then at Anto's slightly flushed cheeks, and was so surprised that the golden light in his eyes shone even brighter.

"What are you looking at! Come onto the pillow!" Anto said, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Qi Yan kicked his legs and immediately lay down.

He felt as if he were immersed in a beauty that defied description. The air was filled with the unique fragrance of a young girl, and then two cool little hands covered his forehead, gently massaging it. The delicate touch made Qi Yan feel as if he had arrived in a paradise he had longed for.

"Ah, Spalashi!"

"Don't make any strange noises!"

Qi Yan grinned and chuckled, then Anto grabbed his cheek and twisted it hard.

After being reprimanded, Qi Yan dared not cause any more trouble and obediently accepted Anto's massage.

The comfortable feeling made Qi Yan feel relaxed like never before, as if his body was floating freely in the air... No!

Qi Yan was startled and came back to life.

He awkwardly opened his eyes, only to meet Anto's stunned little face.

"Ahem, nothing happened just now." Qi Yan gave an awkward smile.

Anto seemed to be greatly frightened; his lips trembled slightly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, tears welled up uncontrollably in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qi Yan was truly at a loss.

What a stupid timing!

He never dreamed that the timing would be so perfect, and he actually staged a sudden death right in front of Anto.

With Anto's medical skills, Qi Yan knew that even if he came back to life immediately, he would not escape Anto's eyes.

"No, you can't stay in Wolumond any longer. You have to come back to Rhodes Island with me for a checkup!"

When Anto saw Qi Yan trying to sit up, he pressed down hard on his shoulder, his knuckles turning white from the emotional outburst.

Qi Yan felt a sharp pain, but he couldn't care less about that and didn't dare to resist lest he hurt the little girl.

He smiled wryly and comforted her:

"I'm really fine. Once things are over here, you can check me however you want, even if I'm naked, it'll be fine."

"You're still concerned about Wolumonde's mess!"

Anto's voice was trembling with tears as he said angrily:

"Even if you have an agreement with the White Queen, it doesn't have to go this far, does it?"

Qi Yan patted Anto's hand, signaling her to relax, and explained:

"I'm not doing this for the White Queen and Wolumond, I'm doing it for Amiya. The experiments here can provide a lot of help for Amiya."

"Don't be silly!"

Anto rejected the idea without even thinking: "Given Amiya's personality, how could she possibly accept this kind of thing between you and the White Queen?"

Seeing that he had tried to pat her several times but hadn't managed to get the hand holding him to let go, Qi Yan decided to give up and pretend to pat her while actually taking advantage of the situation.

He explained while doing the bad thing:

"You've misunderstood. The experiment I'm going to do isn't in collaboration with the White Queen."

If you don't believe me, you can wait a while longer. My plan will soon take effect. Once these streets are cleared, and Arturo starts his efforts in the non-infected areas, I believe it will make the infected realize something.

Anto still couldn't understand.

At this moment, she didn't want to understand anymore; she just wanted Qi Yan to get out of the disaster area as soon as possible and stop suffering from all this mess.

Screw the infected, screw Wolumond!

She herself didn't know why, but she just didn't want to see Qi Yan forcing herself like this.

Qi Yan felt a headache coming on when he saw the little girl's stubbornness flaring up.

"Just try it out for Amiya's sake, I'm really fine," Qi Yan said softly. "This pressure is nothing compared to what I went through back then."

Anto didn't know what Qi Yan was referring to, but he couldn't help feeling a pang of pain in his heart.

She stubbornly shook her head:

“If Amiya knew you were doing this, she would be even angrier than I am. If you don’t leave Wolumond, I’ll go back and complain to her the moment I get there!”

And Qilin, and Dr. Kal'tsit, and the Doctor, and Mr. Patriot, and Thorn—I'll complain about them all!

Qi Yan: "..."

Someone in my neighborhood has become a tattletale!
