Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Only the young people, only the future, can save this continent.

The White Queen fell silent.

After a long pause, she finally pouted and complained:

"First of all, I'm not old; secondly, you're a young person; and finally, I really am not old!"

Qi Yan: "..."

The atmosphere became slightly awkward for a brief moment.

However, Qi Yan quickly recovered and said with a grin:

"Of course the Queen isn't old, but we at Rhodes Island Nursing Home don't care about that."

"You Rhodes Island even runs a nursing home... Wait, that's not the point of our meeting tonight." The White Queen suddenly realized, "Can't you be serious for once?"

Begler and his men have already infiltrated Wolumond. All they need to do is slowly spread rumors of the Witch King's resurrection, then disguise themselves as nobles supporting the remnants of the Witch King's faction, inciting the common people to unite in rebellion…

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Yan waved his hand to interrupt her:

"Just during the day, Severin started to suspect the composition of the people in the city because of my troubles, and he's conducting screenings. This is going to be difficult."

"Speak in unison!!!"

The White Queen roared again, using Originium Arts as well.

To outsiders, it seemed as if she only opened her mouth without making a sound, but in reality, not a single sound was wasted; it was all precisely delivered to Qi Yan's ears.

"Ah! My ears, I can't hear anything, all I can hear is a kind old woman saying she's my great-grandmother!"

Qi Yan covered his ears and rolled around on the ground frantically.

The White Queen's aura grew increasingly oppressive, and she looked on the verge of turning evil again. Qi Yan quickly stopped rolling around and sat up with a grin.

"Relax, just follow the plan, leave the rest to me." He thumped his chest loudly. "Severin is nothing, I'll take care of him in no time!"

The White Queen's eyes held a wary look:

"Although Severin is a bit stubborn, he's not a bad person at heart. Please go easy on him and don't hurt him too badly. I plan to train him in the future."

Qi Yan shrugged: "Then you need to hurry. This guy is infected. The inflammation has spread from his lungs to his throat. If you pull open his clothes now, you can see the Originium clusters on his chest."

The White Queen slightly opened her eyes.

But she didn't say anything, she just nodded silently to indicate that she understood.

After finishing his work, Severin felt another sharp pain in his lungs.

He had no choice but to stop working temporarily, get up and walk to the office window, and light a cigarette to try to relieve his discomfort.

He smiled wryly as he tilted his head back and exhaled the smoke.

"There's no roof left, so why are you smoking by the window?"

After making a self-deprecating remark, Severin turned around and prepared to return to his chair to continue working.

He had just sat down when there was a knock on his office door.

After receiving Severin's permission, Mochi pushed open the door and entered, his face filled with anxiety.

Before Severin could ask, Mochi hurriedly reported:

"Captain, the phonograph I'm in charge of has malfunctioned."

Upon hearing this, Seferin abruptly stood up: "That's Wolumond's city defense equipment, our last resort for maintaining order. How could you let it be damaged or destroyed?"

Mochi shook his head with a bitter expression:

"It wasn't destroyed, but someone sneaked through layers of security last night and got to the phonograph, even leaving a note on it."

"Leave a message? What message did you leave?"

"...Winter Spirit Blood Witch, visited here."

Upon hearing the name, Severin took a deep breath.

Of course he knew what that name was. It was an ancient race called the Winter Spirit Clan, and the Winter Spirit Blood Witch was the most representative witch doctor in the Winter Spirit Clan, who mastered ancient witchcraft.

The Winter Spirits fought a war with Letania in the past, but were ultimately defeated and the Winter Spirits disintegrated. They haven't appeared for a long time, but now they have silently infiltrated the city of Wolumond, especially at such a sensitive time.

"Captain, it seems that the current turmoil in the city is a conspiracy by the Winter Spirit Clan!" Mochi said with an expression that showed he had grasped the key point.

Severin nodded slowly, but before he could say anything, he heard another series of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Then a military policeman appeared outside the door looking flustered. He paused for a moment when the door opened, but he didn't care about such details and hurriedly reported as soon as he entered:

"Captain, the phonograph I'm in charge of is malfunctioning."

Severin and Mochi said in unison, "The Winter Spirit Blood Witch left a message on it?"

The military policeman was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly:

"It wasn't the Winter Spirit Blood Witch, it was that thug who killed the Lord. He left a note saying, 'Aatrox, I was here. I am the end of the world!' He actually infiltrated Wolumond!"

Severin and Mochi both gasped simultaneously.

Before they could finish taking a breath, another hurried footstep echoed down the corridor.

Another military policeman arrived, panting, and was clearly taken aback when he saw so many people inside.

Severin said weakly, "The phonograph you were in charge of also broke down?"

The military policeman nodded in surprise:

"There was a note left up there, saying that he was some Virgil who had lost the Yamato and was trapped on this land. He said that if I paid him 50 to help him find the Yamato, he would take me to the Demon Realm to steal a succubus."

(As usual, I'll eat first, then play with the cat, and finally write. Sigh, I want to give up, I want to lie down, and I want a rich woman to take care of me.)

Chapter 370 Join me, and I'll make you a great general

Inside the room, Severin and the others looked at each other, unsure of what expression to make.

The group looked at each other for a moment, and finally Moqi made a bittersweet remark:

"Of the four phonographs in Wolumond, three are now broken. Guess when the last one will break and what message was left behind?"

Severin took the sword from his waist and slashed Mochi with the scabbard.

Just as Mochi was rubbing the spot where he had been hit in pain, the last footstep finally came.

When the military policeman arrived, panting, he was instantly locked onto by four pairs of eyes inside the house, which nearly made his heart stop.

The two remaining military police officers inside the room began to make sarcastic remarks with wry smiles.

"You just arrived? You're the slowest. You should be punished."

"Tell me, which deity left these words this time?"

The last gendarme stood at the door, and despite being Caprini, he spoke in the voice of Libolli.

However, he quickly realized that it wasn't just the phonograph he was in charge of that had malfunctioned.

This reassured him somewhat, but he still reported in a hurried tone:

"They're the remnants of the Witch King's faction. They say the Witch King is going to be resurrected, and no one in Wolumondene can escape; they'll all die!"

"Tch, nothing new."

Mochi and the others all booed.

The last military policeman suddenly panicked:

"Hey! I'm not kidding. That's the Witch King. It's said that the remnants of the Witch King's faction haven't all died out, and many nobles are even secretly supporting them. The appearance of the Witch King's remnants means that nobles have taken action!"

Severin coughed twice, signaling him not to elaborate further.

There are some topics that you and I know, but we can't let others know that we know each other.

Then Severin said in a low voice:

"It seems that those restless fellows in the city, realizing they've been exposed, are deliberately muddying the waters."

Continue the investigation. The more afraid the other party is, the closer we are to success. Also, Mochi, go and select a group of trustworthy technicians to carefully check if the phonograph has been tampered with. If so…

Even if it means destroying the phonographs, we must not let them fall into enemy hands!

Mochi immediately regained his seriousness, bowed, and quickly left the office.

Severin waved to the other three, did not punish them, and let them go.

However, all three military police officers were somewhat dejected.

Although Severin didn't punish them or even reprimand them, the feeling of betraying Severin's trust made them all feel uneasy.

"Mochi is now in charge of the phonograph business. What should we do now?"

One of the military policemen looked at his colleague, seemingly bewildered.

The remaining two military police officers exchanged a glance, and finally one of them spoke up, proposing:

"Isn't it said that things are a bit unsettled in the city lately? Let's go investigate and try to find out what those guys are up to as soon as possible."

The other two nodded repeatedly.

Without further hesitation, the three men mustered their fighting spirit and vowed to do their part for Wolumonde and make up for the impact of their dereliction of duty.

After leaving the council chamber, the three each chose an area to conduct an in-depth investigation.

One of them walked along the street filled with Originium clusters, looked around a few times, and felt somewhat discouraged.

"Given the current situation, there's hardly anyone on the street. Are we supposed to just barge into someone's house to investigate?"

"Hey buddy over there, interested in stirring things up?"

Just as he was feeling lost, a voice suddenly came from behind him asking a question.

The military policeman turned around in confusion and found a person standing behind him wearing a protective suit, completely covering himself up.

Although the person's voice sounded somewhat muffled due to the protective suit, it was still clear that they were a young person.

Upon seeing the military police turn around, the other party immediately stepped forward to greet them warmly.

"Natural disasters have struck, food crises have occurred, and everyone is terrified. Now we need a new way out."

Join me, and together we'll change Wolumond. After we succeed, I'll make you a Grand General!

He sounds a bit like someone who's involved in fraud.

A thought flashed through the military policeman's mind, and he quickly feigned interest, asking in a low voice:

"What general? What way out? What do you want me to do?"

The young man stepped forward, put his arm around the military policeman's shoulder, and led him along, explaining as he went:

"I call this Project Blue Sky. As long as everyone works together, unites the people suffering in Wolumond, and eventually takes control of Wolumond, we will be saved!"

The military police instantly realized that this young man must be one of the people causing trouble in the city!

They actually want to overthrow control of Wolumonde!

The military police were filled with a mixture of shock and anger, but they forced themselves to appear interested and were led by the young man through the alleys, turning left and right, until they arrived at an inconspicuous little house.

The two entered the house one after the other. After seeing the situation inside, the military policeman's heart sank.

There were already quite a few people inside, clearly recruited to join that so-called Blue Sky Project.

Aside from the young people, there were several others standing in the middle of the room, constantly proclaiming the benefits they would receive in the future.

"Follow us, and you'll eat nine meals in three days. We have money, we have people, and we have power!"

"You all know the Witch King, right? That lofty being from back then, known as the Red Sun that never sets on Wolumond!"

"Our goal is to resurrect the Witch King and use his power to overthrow the rule of the Twin Queens. Wolumond is just the first step. Next, we will expand our territory from point to area. You are the backbone of the new era and the future generals!"

Upon hearing the men's slogans, the military police were so frightened that they let out a gasp.

His voice immediately drew everyone's attention in the room.

Facing the gazes of more than ten people, the military police officer's back, inside his protective suit, was soaked with cold sweat. He said in a trembling voice:

"Do you even know what you're saying? That's the infamous tyrant of Letania! You...you're the remnants of the Witch King?!"

The young man and the others who had spoken remained silent, but several people who had been brought in from inside the room sneered:

"The remnants of the Witch King are just a name; behind these officials are the real power holders, the noble lords."
