Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

“…I didn’t cry.” Roy forced a smile that looked even worse than crying.

The strongest fighting force in their own camp was thus rendered useless.

He was now on the verge of tears.

"Um... can I leave now?" Roy asked timidly.

The Nightmare Knight roared angrily, "Qi Yan has gone back on his word! Then I'll have to figure out a way myself. It's time for our battle to have a result!"

Roy: “…”

Qi Yan shrugged and spread his hands, saying helplessly:

"I can't do anything about it. This kid is so stubborn. I did promise him I would arrange a fight between you guys."

Seeing that things had come to this, Roy took a deep breath and assumed a posture of heroic sacrifice:

"Monique, you should go back now. You need to work hard from now on. If you need anything, ask Little Platinum. If you don't need anything, find something for Little Platinum to do."

"Oh right, speaking of Platinum, I have something else to tell you."

Qi Yan interjected, "Go back and tell Little Platinum... no, tell Little Hintelia that she's been demoted to squad leader starting today, and I'm the current Platinum!"

Monique: "..."

Seeing Roy nod at her, she pursed her lips and obediently turned and left.

Roy remained where he was, facing the approaching Nightmare Knight with composure.

"Come on, tonight, I will defeat you first, then the Radiant Knight and the other two women over there. I will defeat you all one by one tonight!"

The Nightmare Knight, in a display of great bravado, immediately issued a challenge to everyone.

Lin Guang and his companions were inexplicably caught in the crossfire, their faces filled with bewilderment and innocence.

Toran finally shook off the flies and returned to hear this sentence. He grinned and chuckled foolishly, glad that he hadn't been chosen by the Nightmare Knight.

But then he realized that this clearly meant the Nightmare Knight didn't think much of him. Even Nightingale, who was in a wheelchair, was recognized, but he was the only one left out!

Toran's already dark face appeared even darker in the dim light.

The Nightmare Knight roared and charged straight at Roy, brandishing his scimitar.

Faced with this aggressive fellow, Roy reached for his bow... only to find nothing.

"Good heavens!" he exclaimed on the spot, "My bow is still with Monique!"

The scimitar whistled as it slashed down toward Roy's head.

But the next instant, the scimitar missed its target and struck the ground directly, shattering the cement and creating huge spiderweb-like cracks.

Roy nimbly leaped backward twice, then turned and ran:

"I'll go get the bow!"

"You despicable man, you're trying to run away again!"

Enraged, the Nightmare Knight brandished his scimitar and gave chase.

History seemed to repeat itself as the two figures disappeared into the end of the street in the blink of an eye.

Qi Yan waved to Toran to dig out the heavy iron arrow that had sunk into the ground, while he bent down to pick up the other two. Without exchanging a word, the two took off running.

After running a short distance, Qi Yan stopped and turned back, looking at Lin Guang and the other two in surprise:

"What are you waiting for? Why aren't you running?"

Are you waiting for that excited little pony to come back and challenge you to a duel?

"us……"

Lin Guang's expression was complicated: "Isn't it a bit unfair to play him like this? After all, he just helped us resist the Xuan Tie Da Shi."

"He's got his eye on the nightingale too."

"Shining, let's go."

Nearl called to Shining and left the scene without looking back.

When the Nightmare Knight, who had circled around and lost track of Roy, returned to the place, the scene was already deserted, with not a single person in sight.

You... liars!

A furious roar, filled with resentment, echoed through the streets, scaring away several homeless singers who were about to take a break.

"In short, that's it, Doctor, Miss Amiya."

Markowitz sat on the sofa, looking apologetically at the two people opposite him: "The Zero Plot may not be peaceful lately. The previous riots were all believed to be caused by infected people."

Of course, I'm not using the infected person's identity to make a point; it's just that for safety reasons, I hope everyone on Rhodes Island will refrain from going out too much these days. I'm sorry.

The doctor nodded politely.

"Don't worry, Mr. Markowitz, I won't make things difficult for you."

Markowitz forced a somewhat strained smile.

“Doctor, I…” Markowitz hesitated.

The doctor replied with complete ease, "Please speak."

Markowitz: "..."

Without urging him, the doctor picked up the steaming tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Amiya, sitting next to him, was so surprised that her eyes widened.

Markowitz was clearly thinking about something, and subconsciously imitated the doctor's action, raising his teacup and taking a small sip.

"No... wait!"

Amiya's reminder came too late.

Markowitz's expression changed drastically, but not wanting to lose his manners, he spat out the scalding tea in his mouth, his expression becoming extremely ferocious for a moment.

"Mr. Markowitz, are you alright? I'll go find a doctor for you."

Amiya quickly got up and ran towards the door.

Before she could reach the door, it was pushed open first, and Furong rushed in, almost bumping into her.

"Amiya, it's urgent..."

"Furong, it's urgent..."

The two spoke at the same time, then fell silent at the same time, staring at each other in bewilderment, creating a situation of wide-eyed staring.

"Gentlemen, I'm fine."

Markowitz's voice was a little hoarse as he spoke up, "Getting burned actually made me think about some things."

"Getting burned has this effect? ​​Looks like I've found the reason why I'm smarter than that white dog," the professor joked.

Markowitz chuckled twice, regaining his composure, though his voice was still a little hoarse:

"Doctor, I think I've found the answer to what we talked about when we first met."

“…Don’t you want to know my answer?” Markowitz asked in surprise.

The doctor shook his head: "I would like to, but I would prefer to see it myself rather than give you the answer you're giving me."

Markowitz was somewhat taken aback, but quickly smiled knowingly.

He stood up and bowed slightly to the doctor:

"Miss Furong clearly has something to say, so I won't disturb her any longer."

The doctor glanced at Hibiscus and suddenly spoke up to persuade her to stay:

"Mr. Markowitz is a friend of Rhode Island, and there's nothing to hide."

"Furong, just say what's on your mind."

Fleur glanced at Markowitz, did not question the doctor's decision, and reported directly:

"The warehouse has some new items."

"What is it?" the doctor asked curiously.

Furong said solemnly:

"Three heavy iron arrows, each as long as a spear, one of which was cut in two!"

The room fell silent after the answer was given, and Markowitz's expression was the most interesting.

Chapter 445 will soon end

Markowitz left.

He left in a daze, and even almost bumped into a hotel staff member at the entrance.

In the room of the Doctor and the others, Fleur and Amiya looked at the Doctor with some curiosity.

"What exactly does the Xuan Tie Heavy Arrow represent?" Fu Rong clearly didn't understand.

"Who knows."

The doctor chuckled: "Anyway, the white-haired dog is definitely not so poor that he has to scavenge for a living. The things he painstakingly collected must be useful."

We don't need to understand the meaning behind the Mystic Iron Heavy Arrow; as long as Markowitz understands, that's enough.

Amiya thought for a moment and asked:

"Is the Doctor demonstrating Rhodes Island's power to Markowitz?"

“That’s one way to put it,” the Doctor nodded. “But it’s not to scare Markowitz. Rhodes Island isn’t a violent organization. I’m just reminding him that Rhodes Island doesn’t need protection.”

Amiya and Fleur exchanged a glance, still somewhat puzzled.

The doctor beckoned to the two girls, gesturing for them to sit down, and then reached out to pour them and himself fresh tea.

The professor picked up the steaming tea and drank most of it in one gulp, letting out a pleasant sigh.

“Miss Gravel reminded me that power is always an irresistible thing, and it will corrupt people’s souls.”

The doctor's gaze seemed to see through everything through the rising steam of the tea: "But I trust my own judgment more. Some people will always have a firm belief in their hearts. Temptation is not only a devil that leads people to depravity, but also a baptism that helps people cleanse their souls and see their true nature."

On this land, there are always those who, having seen it all, remain youthful fools.

A look of realization flashed across Amiya's eyes.

She turned her head to look at the closed door and murmured:

"Mr. Markowitz, caught between friends and the Federation, will certainly have to make a choice."

The doctor was telling him that Rhodes Island wouldn't be a shackle holding him back... Friends will always choose to support each other's progress.

On the street, Markowitz looked back.

His back gradually straightened, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes, but it eventually disappeared, and he returned to calm.

"What do we do now?"

Monique stood in the corner, watching Roy rush over, panting, her expression somewhat unpleasant.

Roy had barely escaped from the Nightmare Knights, and he was now in a terrible state.

He took a couple of deep breaths, finally catching his breath, and said with a wry smile:

"What else can we do? We'll just have to do what we have to do."

"But the position of Xuan Tie..."

“The position of Xuan Tie was never part of the plan.” Roy waved his hand. “How terrifying, Rhodes Island.”

“Isn’t Qi Yan the most terrifying?” Monique gritted her teeth. “If it weren’t for his interference, our plan would have gone very smoothly. With Xuan Tie Dawei’s intervention, that white Sarkaz should have been a corpse by now.”

"Then, facing the enraged Radiant Knights and the combined attack of Rhodes Island, not one of us will survive?"

Roy felt utterly helpless about his partner, who had some Liberian traits: "I never imagined Rhodes Island would be so powerful."

Previously, I was overconfident in the strength of the Xuan Tie Grandmaster, but today's fight made me realize that we almost stepped into an abyss.

Monique was put in an awkward position by Roy's words, and her expression became increasingly unpleasant.

Seeing this, Roy didn't want to argue further, but simply concluded:
