Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Candlelight, and shadows..."

Lin Guang banished all distracting thoughts from his mind.

Like Viviana, she also only wanted to fight this knight in front of her fair and square!

"Sun, please nod for me!"

Golden light erupted in the arena, and in a trance, the sun that had long since set seemed to rise again.

A sword made entirely of light pierced the darkness and crashed down.

Viviana let out a low groan, her Originium Arts were forcibly interrupted, and her body was hit by the shockwave from the 'Radiant Sun' hitting the ground, causing her to stagger backward.

The knight's sword and spear were covered in light, and behind him were several blades made entirely of light arranged closely together, like wings of light.

A glint of light locked onto Viviana's brow, and the next second, the spear shot out like a dragon, stabbing fiercely.

Viviana sighed, gritted her teeth, and once again gathered a spell, forcibly detonating it in front of herself.

Her body was affected by her own Originium Arts, and she was sent flying backward, but that was exactly what she wanted—to use the explosion to escape and hinder Nearl's overwhelming momentum.

Unfortunately, when the light of the 'Radiant Sun' entered Viviana's eyes, she knew that her defeat was inevitable.

'Radiant Sun' stood guard in front of Nearl, shielding her from all the impact of the explosions. Nearl's figure swept down from above, reaching Viviana before she even landed, and with a flick of her arm...

The dazzling light transformed into a thin line, tracing across Viviana's chest without harming her in the slightest.

But the candle broke in two with a snap.

After the decisive blow, Nearl didn't stop moving. He summoned 'Radiant Sun' to step on for leverage, and rushed out again, arriving at Viviana's landing spot first. He opened his arms and caught the elegant beauty.

As the soft jade embraced him, Lin Guang was surprised to find that Viviana's body was so light, and so warm and soft.

Viviana lay in Lin Guang's arms, like a frightened fawn, patting her chest with lingering fear.

"I lost. The candlelight can't compete with the sun's brilliance. Your fighting spirit when you're at its peak is something even a knight like me, who's active in competitive matches, can't match."

That is the spirit of a knight, forged only through blood and fire.

With the battle now over, Nearl was once again praised by Viviana, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Viviana covered her mouth and chuckled, teasingly saying:

"How long are you going to hold me like this?"

"Ah, I didn't... I'm sorry."

Lin Guang quickly put Viviana down.

Outside the arena, the audience had just recovered from the thrilling battle, and their vision was even a little dizzy from the glare.

Only Wu Zhou and his group were prepared, and at Qi Yan's insistence, everyone was equipped with sunglasses.

At that moment, with a wave of Qi Yan's hand, Bai Jin flipped the light board over, revealing the side with the Radiant Knight on the back.

The Starburst Abandoned Treatment Slash has reappeared.

"Radiant Knight, victory is assured!"

"Radiant Knight, we love you!"

Nearl: "..."

Viviana: "..."

Even Mob the Big Mouth and the audience were so captivated by the Unarmored Alliance team that they almost forgot about the two main characters on the field.

Lin Guang smiled wryly and tried to defend Qi Yan:

"He meant no harm, he was just joking, please don't mind him..."

“No, I’m already fairly familiar with the White Knight’s style.” Viviana seemed to have accomplished something, and her attitude became more casual. “You are indeed enviable companions. I feel very satisfied to have met you and had a match with you.”

"Thank you for your recognition," Lin Guang said earnestly.

Looking at the serious-looking guy in front of her, Viviana suddenly became curious again:

"Although it's a bit of a downer to say this when you're winning, if I'm not mistaken, you should know that the Federation is prepared to do whatever it takes to interfere with your victory."

But why are you able to stand on this stage so confidently, giving it your all without any reservations?

Lin Guang lowered his head slightly, but quickly raised it again to look at Qi Yan, who was having a blast in the audience.

"Because he is here."

Chapter 434 The night is still long

"The Radiant Knights won! Everyone had a great time, except for me..."

Roy sat on the rooftop of a building, holding a terminal to watch the live broadcast of the game.

In the scene, Nearl and Viviana greet the audience side by side before leaving together.

The camera switched to the audience, where everyone from Wu Zhou Meng and the others had a smile on their face, enjoying their paid time off. Qi Yan was having a great time, but Monique had a sour face, looking like a young woman who had been abused.

Even Platinum put down his light stick, and amidst the surrounding emotions, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Why am I the only one who has to work?"

Roy put down the terminal, reached back and cupped his green-dyed tail, tearfully wiping away the ice shards.

He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh:

"Where did these two siblings come from? I was just looking for trouble with the sister of the Radiant Knight, and she seemed to have foreseen it all, leading a group of people to rush out and beat me up."

Could it be that Qi Yan leaked the information to her?

That doesn't make sense either. Qi Yan has been causing trouble at the Wuzhou Alliance base these past few days, never leaving the surveillance area for a moment. Could it be that little girl named Qi Lin's own ability?

After studying it for a long time, Roy still couldn't figure out what went wrong.

The Red Pine Knights and others were equally puzzled.

At this moment, a group of Red Pine Knights surrounded Qi Lin, their eyes filled with curiosity as they scrutinized the expressionless Qi Lin.

Not far away, Wild Mane came running back from the end of the street, waving his arms and shouting from afar:

"I've taken that little girl named Maria back to the Iron Knight's bar; she's safe now."

"By the way, Qi Lin, how did you know the Unarmored Alliance was going to kidnap Maria? Did Qi Yan secretly send you a message?"

Qi Lin shook her head: "I just smelled his scent."

The Red Pine Knights were stunned on the spot.

This answer is too simple, yet it reveals a profound meaning.

Wild Mane scratched his head, saying incredulously:

“Even if it’s a well-known fact that Rupert has a keen sense of smell, searching the entire city for a specific target is just too outrageous.”

Qi Lin seemed to have completely let go of her inner turmoil, and seriously replied to Ye Zong's teasing:

"I don't know why. Ever since that rain, my Originium Arts and my body have undergone a transformation, as if I've broken free from some kind of restraint, or as if I've reclaimed something that was rightfully mine."

Her explanation only made everyone more confused.

Qi Lin looked at the confused crowd around her, pursed her lips, and gave up trying to explain.

It's not time to completely relax yet.

Qi Lin glanced around and calmly said:

"Sona and the others have already begun their operation according to plan. Tonight will bring about a major change. Whether the stagnant situation in the Great Knight Territory can be broken depends on this."

Although two of the Wuzhou Alliance's top fighters were tied down by Qi Yan, the man named Roy was still not to be underestimated, and I couldn't hold him back.

Many Unarmored Assassins are still operating in the shadows, targeting not only the Red Pine Knights but all Infected individuals. We need to continue drawing their attention.

With Sona absent, Qi Lin seemed to become the backbone of the entire Red Pine Knights.

No one raised any objections; they exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"Let's get started. I'll hold Roy back. The rest is up to you," Qi Lin said, then turned and left alone.

Wildmane wanted to follow and help, but considering that he had almost been killed by Roy's arrow in the previous battle, he suppressed his impulse.

The difference in combat strength between the two sides is too great; if she follows, she will only cause trouble for Qi Lin.

Qi Lin walked alone on the dimly lit street, raising her face, her golden eyes gazing at the pale night sky:

"So, are you finally feeling tired?"

"Are you feeling tired, Doctor?" Markowitz asked.

The professor, carrying a drink, leaned against the street railing, shaking his head with a light laugh.

Beside him, Amiya held a snack and ate it in small bites.

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, Markowitz felt a sense of relaxation he had never experienced before.

Ever since he inexplicably became a spokesperson... no, even when he was just an insignificant employee of a small company, he hadn't experienced this feeling of relaxing and strolling around with friends for a long time.

"Doctor, it's getting late. Although I'm reluctant to leave, it would be my fault if you, as my guest, felt tired."

Markowitz glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "It's not a long walk back to the hotel from here. Let me accompany you and Miss Amiya on this journey."

The doctor nodded, straightened up, took the snack box from Amiya, and prepared to throw the empty drink and the box into the roadside trash can.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

"Doctor, watch out!"

"Step back a bit, Doctor!"

Amiya and Markowitz spoke at the same time.

The doctor didn't react much; his gaze fell on a figure rushing out of an alley not far away.

That was a wounded infected knight.

The other person suddenly rushed out, saw the doctor, and for some reason was stunned. Under the tattered helmet were a pair of eyes that were so numb they didn't look like those of a living person.

The two stared at each other, and the doctor could see no anger, fear, or sorrow in either of them.

At this moment, two more members of the Unarmored Alliance, armed with crossbows, rushed out of the alley.

The infected knight shuddered, then turned and continued his escape, like a trapped beast being whipped.

Markowitz and Amiya rushed to the Doctor's side. Upon seeing Markowitz, the two members of the Unarmored Alliance immediately bowed respectfully.

"What are you doing here?" Markowitz asked.

"...An undocumented infected person. We will deliver the legal documents to you later if needed."

A member of the Unarmored Alliance, while respectful, also revealed a firm stance, saying, "Please forgive me, but even as a spokesperson, I cannot reveal too much if there are outsiders around you."

After saying that, the two turned and chased after the fleeing infected knight without looking back.

Markowitz was left speechless and looked somewhat embarrassed.

He had no choice but to turn to the doctor and whisper:

"Sorry, I spoiled your fun."

The doctor shook his head, silently watching the direction the Infected Knight and the Unarmored Alliance had left in.

Amiya wanted to help, but she was worried about leaving the Doctor alone here.

The doctor suddenly asked:

"Little Horse, can you help that infected person?"

Markowitz was somewhat hesitant in the face of the doctor's request.

He hesitated before saying, "Maybe... I don't have that right..."

"Let's give it a try, just for the sake of our friendship."

Both fell into silence.

After a long pause, the professor suddenly chuckled and shook his head, saying:

“I was being presumptuous, Mr. Markowitz. It’s time to go back and rest.”

Markowitz's expression was complex, seemingly sad, helpless, regretful, and powerless.
