Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Then the doctor began his explanation at a leisurely pace:

"Because Oripathy not only brings death, but also a dramatic increase in magical power."

Originium Arts require extensive learning for ordinary people to master, and they also need to use spellcasting units to perform them.

Those suffering from Oripathy can master this dangerous ability with just a short period of practice, and if they disregard the consequences, they can unleash terrifying and frightening spells!

“But doing this will also lead to the destruction of the infected themselves,” Amiya immediately retorted.

"It does not matter."

"……unimportant?"

Amiya was stunned.

The doctor took a breath and said quietly, "Most people don't want unstable elements to appear in the group they manage, whether it's a reusable gun or a disposable Originium bomb."

Therefore, patients with Oripathy must be suppressed, or even expelled from their own managed groups, thus giving rise to the 'infected', and the means of achieving this is discrimination.

Although it sounds like an insult, the majority of people on this land are ignorant, easily swayed by others, and easily manipulated.

Amiya pursed her lips and lowered her head, lost in thought.

But the doctor didn't stop talking; he continued:

"Amiya, Rhodes Island is indeed an organization that fights for the rights of the infected, but have you ever thought about what kind of 'infected' we actually want to help?"

What exactly are we rebelling against?

"...It's discrimination."

Amiya lowered her head and slowly gave the answer.

She raised her head again, recalling the words Qi Yan had spoken to her that night in the large partition.

Do the innocent really exist?

Amiya seemed to understand something.

But this answer made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. There's been a lot of material today. You can go back and digest it slowly."

The doctor changed his tone and said soothingly, "Next, I'll tell you something interesting."

Amiya suppressed her inner turmoil and rallied her spirits: "What is it?"

"Kazimir, disaster is coming!" The doctor spread his arms in a celebratory gesture.

Amiya: “…”

"Doctor!" Amiya stomped her foot in anger. "What's so funny about this? Are you and Mr. Qi Yan on the same wavelength again? The last time you two worked together like this was in Lungmen!"

The Doctor held up a finger and waved it left and right in front of Amiya's eyes twice:

"If nothing unexpected happens, this will be much more exciting than Lungmen."

"PhD!!!"

Time marches on day by day, and sweat drips down drop by drop.

"One day, when we're all old, we'll be taking the PhD along for a walk."

Qi Yan hummed a little tune, crossed his legs, and sat in the private box of the arena, watching the competition below with a smile through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

He specially commissioned Markowitz to make the floor-to-ceiling windows with high-grade, light-proof, and explosion-proof glass that could change color, all for tonight's showdown.

Outside the window, Mob the Big Mouth stood on the host's seat, excitedly announcing the two sides of the showdown to the audience.

As the two main characters, the Nightmare Knight and the Radiant Knight stood facing each other, neither of them speaking, but silently gazing at each other.

Even so, the audience in the arena was already in a frenzy, and the shouts never stopped.

The controversy Qi Yan caused on the field some time ago did not leave a lasting impression on the audience, and the arena remained packed every time a match started.

Qi Yan's withdrawal from the competition did not cause much of a stir, and as time went by, the popularity of the original competition videos began to plummet.

In the past few days, Qi Yan has been walking on the street, and even the number of fans who recognize him has noticeably decreased.

Qi Yan naturally didn't care about this; all he knew was that he had made a fortune.

Qi Yan tapped the bell button next to him, and soon Markowitz pushed the door open and walked in.

"Xiao Ma, did you finish getting that enhanced terminal I asked you to get for me last time?" Qi Yan asked.

Markowitz nodded: "It's already on its way."

"Too slow. Go contact Roy and have him run an errand for me and deliver it as quickly as possible," Qi Yan said matter-of-factly.

Markowitz hesitated:

"Uh, the Wuzha Alliance and the others..."

Qi Yan turned his head: "I know you suspect the Wuzhou Alliance of betrayal, but they haven't made it clear yet, so just use them as they see fit."

Markowitz gave a wry smile.

That makes sense, but even the mighty Azure Gold Alliance doesn't have anyone willing to be a mere errand boy!

But when he realized that the person in front of him was Qi Yan, Markowitz felt that everything made sense.

After respectfully agreeing, Markowitz left the room and immediately contacted Roy.

Less than five minutes later, Roy appeared beside Qi Yan, panting heavily.

“Brother, you finally remembered me again. I’ve felt uneasy these past few days without being by your side to serve you.”

Roy complimented him while bowing and scraping as he handed over a terminal.

Qi Yan took the terminal, tossed it in his hand, and then dropped it on the ground.

The terminal rolled a long way on the ground without being damaged in the slightest.

"Go, retrieve it," Qi Yan ordered.

Roy's facial expression twitched wildly, but he still obediently ran over to retrieve the terminal.

Qi Yan fiddled with his new terminal, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

"This is the terminal I need. The terminal that old lynx gave me is worthless; it breaks at the slightest touch."

From now on, we'll name this terminal... Nokia!

As he spoke, Qi Yan turned on the terminal, flipped through the contact list that Markowitz had already set up, selected a contact, and dialed the number.

The terminal in Roy's pocket immediately vibrated.

He took out his terminal, saw the contact information on it, and, with some hesitation, chose to answer.

"Go and bring me the sword that I entrusted to you for maintenance last time."

Qi Yan's voice came into my ears simultaneously from beside me and from inside the terminal.

Roy fell silent.

Chapter 465 There are policies from above and countermeasures from below

The communication ended, and the terminal emitted a monotonous busy tone.

Roy looked up and saw Qi Yan looking at him with a puzzled expression:

What are you still standing here for?

Roy shuddered, realized what was happening, quickly nodded, turned around, and fled the room that felt like a persecution to him.

Outside the door, Markowitz and Roy, who had escaped, exchanged a glance.

Before the other person's gaze even landed on him, Roy had already reverted to his usual nonchalant demeanor:

"Mr. Markowitz, you've had a long day these past few days."

“It’s not hard work, because I got promoted,” Markowitz said politely.

Roy nodded and smiled:

"Congratulations! I was also promoted because of a single sentence from Qi Yan. It seems we're quite similar."

Can I take your words as a reminder?

Markowitz, equally smiling, retorted sharply, "Former Diamond Secretary, Mr. Roy."

Roy: “…”

When Roy fell silent, Markowitz pressed his advantage:

"Speaking of which, the Unarmored Alliance seems to be reducing its activities recently, but I don't recall either the board of directors or Mr. Qi Yan saying that their views on the infected have changed, have they?"

Roy gave Markowitz a deep look, somewhat unsure about the man's attitude.

Markowitz simply said "Good luck" and ended the conversation.

Roy did not confront Markowitz, but walked out of the arena alone. Before leaving, he subconsciously looked back at the two players from Nearl who had already started fighting in the arena.

Black and dazzling spells flashed across the arena, causing the audience to gasp and scream in horror as they covered their eyes.

Beneath the clash of spells lies a battle of exquisite combat skills between the two.

Roy didn't look for long before turning his gaze away, but then he caught a glimpse of a unique silver light standing in the corner of the audience.

"...Silver Spear and Heavenly Horse".

Roy suddenly understood.

Markowitz used his power as spokesperson to manage the Unarmed Union and push for its continued activities in Kazimierz, but Kazimierz was no longer what it used to be.

The existence of Silver Spear and Pegasus meant that the Supervisory Council could no longer tolerate the rampant activities of these dark assassins from the Unarmored Alliance.

One slip-up and the Unarmored Alliance could be targeted by Silver Spear Pegasus, leaving only a one-sided purge.

"What a clever trick to use someone else to do the dirty work... Oh, poor little Platinum."

Roy didn't take Markowitz's tricks too seriously. There's always a way around things; he figured the knife wouldn't fall on his own head.

On the field, with the Nightmare Knight's attack, even though Nearl successfully blocked it, her body still slid backward uncontrollably.

Nearl was somewhat surprised by the Nightmare Knight's power, but he felt a sense of bewilderment from the Nightmare Knight's attacks.

Every movement and spell of the Nightmare Knight was methodical, with a steadfast goal: to defeat the opponent before him.

However, Nearl could see that Nightmare Knight didn't really want to experience the joy of victory, but was searching for something in the process.

Nearl recalled that when they were in the tavern, Old F had mentioned the Nightmare Knight to her.

Lin Guang gradually made up his mind.

When the Nightmare Knight charged again, Nearl suddenly mustered all her strength and engaged the Nightmare Knight in a contest of power head-on.

Blade and sword clashed, and Lin Guang's gaze met the eyes beneath the Nightmare Knight's helmet.

“You are very good.” The Nightmare Knight spoke up first. “I have waited for this moment for far too long. The knights of Kazimierz have always disappointed me!”

Lin Guang was clearly struggling with her strength, and she gritted her teeth and said:

“Nightmare Knight, I can tell you seem to be looking for something.”

"Searching for my destiny, Pegasus."

The Nightmare Knight exerted his strength again, causing Nearl's feet to sink half an inch into the ground: "When the Nightmare race reaches adulthood, they embark on an unknown celestial journey. No one knows what awaits them on that journey, but only by completing this journey can life truly begin."

Only by traversing the nightmare of the Heavenly Path can they realize the meaning of their own journey, and then... they will become the seeds of fear, traversing countless mountains and rivers to conquer everything in sight!

Lin Guang took a deep breath and unleashed an astonishing burst of power, forcefully pushing the Nightmare Knight so hard that he staggered.

She asked, "Have you found the meaning of your own destiny?"

The Nightmare Knight was somewhat surprised, but even more excited:

"You don't seem to understand. Only when the Nightmare completes its Heavenly Path can it realize the significance of its own Heavenly Path."

And now, I truly hope that you are my meaning!

If anyone else heard Nightmare Knight say such a thing, they would definitely be stunned for a moment. Unfortunately, his opponent at this moment was Rhodes Island's famously straightforward and tough female character, Nearl.

Lin Guang revealed a battle-ready smile, suddenly changed her technique, and shifted the Nightmare Knight's body to the side. Then, the sword and spear in her hand burst into light, drawing a circle of light in the air and slashing down fiercely.

The Nightmare Knight burst into a hearty laugh, brandishing his sword and clashing with Nearl once more.
