Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Even more seriously, he seemed to be hallucinating.

He saw a long river that stretched as far as the eye could see on either side. He stood on one side of the river, with one leg wading into the water.

On the opposite bank of the river was a familiar female figure. Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, he could still recognize her at a glance. She was the most important woman in his life, without exception.

The Nightmare Knight felt the river rise again.

He recalled a vague memory.

In his memory, the woman sat on the vast grassland, and he curled up beside her with his small body, her gentle voice echoing in his ears.

"Tora, your name means 'grassland'."

"You should be proud of your bloodline."

"You should be proud of yourself, anywhere and anytime."

A gentle call came from across the river.

"Tora, it's very simple for you to live as an ordinary Kuranta."

"Study, grow up, learn some skills, and marry a beautiful wife."

"Tora...go back."

The Nightmare Knight, his limbs numb and powerless, collapsed to his knees in the river with a thud.

The water splashed up and wet his helmet, but it felt as if it were falling on his cheek, cool and gentle, like the hand his mother used to gently stroke his cheek.

The four Silver Spear Pegasus warriors, who were on watch in the shadows of the street, gathered together and looked at the Nightmare Knight kneeling on the ground, all somewhat shocked.

"Rhodes Island... seems a bit scary."

"Those girls are wearing doctor's uniforms, so why do they fight so fiercely?"

"Let's not talk about that girl in white, Carter; her aura clearly indicates she's been through war. But those female doctors were ridiculous; all sorts of medicine bottles and syringes were flying everywhere. It scared me to death."

"Wonder Knight won't die, will he? I couldn't even count all the different kinds of poison he was poisoned with in that last half minute. Should we intervene?"

The other three looked at their companion who had spoken last.

The fourth person being watched shrank back and said awkwardly:

"It is indeed a bit scary, let's forget about it. I feel that Rhodes Island probably didn't intend to kill the Nightmare Knights, they didn't have any murderous intent."

And just as Silver Spear Pegasus had predicted, things turned out exactly as Silver Spear Pegasus had foreseen.

Frostnova looked at the Nightmare Knight, who had completely lost his fighting ability and was hovering between consciousness and unconsciousness, and waved to her companions behind her.

The young women from the medical department immediately stepped forward and, without hesitation, injected the antidote into the Nightmare Knight's body.

The Nightmare Knight shuddered. In a daze, he saw many small holes appear on his body, and river water flowed through him, spraying water like a showerhead.

Qi Lin looked at the miserable Nightmare Knight, her face expressionless as she pondered why this guy had suddenly come out to find her again.

Before the Nightmare Knight could even utter a word, he was rushed up by Frostnova and the others, who were like 'enemies meeting', and they beat him up.

Sona and the other members of the Red Pine Knights huddled together, their faces pale as they stared at Frostnova and the others as if they were looking at a group of demons.

They had clearly said they were Qi Lin's friends and came to visit her, but when they saw the Nightmare Knight appear, they suddenly started attacking, and the girls didn't even have time to react.

"Uh...ahem!"

After obtaining the antidote, the Nightmare Knight quickly escaped from the River of Dying.

He braced himself on the ground with both hands, panting and coughing painfully. Even though the toxins in his body were being rapidly eliminated, his condition would not recover in a short time.

"Who...who are you?" the Nightmare Knight asked through gritted teeth.

"Rhode Island."

Froststar casually recounted their origins.

The Nightmare Knight struggled to lift his head and look at the woman in front of him, who was just as cold as Qi Lin.

This woman struck with lightning speed, using her chilling aura to corrode his body, rendering him powerless to dodge the poisonous attacks that followed.

"Why did you attack me?" the Nightmare Knight questioned.

Frostnova crossed her arms, looking down at the wretched Nightmare Knight, as if declaring her dominance:

"Because you dared to lay a hand on Qi Lin, this is just a lesson. If there is a next time, I will... bring Fu Rong's nutritional meals with me."

Chapter 472 Qi Yan: I'm an uncle now?

The Nightmare Knight was already confused by the inexplicable beating he received, and now, being threatened by Frostnova in a strange way, he was even more bewildered.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to Qi Lin, hoping to find the answer in her.

But the next second, because of his movement, many needles gleaming with a cold light appeared in his field of vision.

The Nightmare Knight suddenly shuddered.

He now has a strong psychological aversion to injections.

Fortunately, this time no one made a move, because Qi Lin bypassed them and walked up to the Nightmare Knight.

"What do you want from me?" Qi Lin asked.

The Nightmare Knight was speechless for a moment.

Qi Lin looked at the other person and gently shook her head:

“You don’t even understand why you came to me. You still don’t know how to move forward. You’re still bound by the past.”

"I...I will defeat you!" The Nightmare Knight stood up shakily. "And the Radiant Knight, a duel between knights should be a noble one, how can it be interrupted?"

"Why did you defeat me, and why did you defeat the Radiant Knight?" Qi Lin retorted.

"Of course, it's because of the Heavenly Path!"

The Nightmare Knight once again brought out his theory.

But this time, before he could continue explaining his pursuit, Froststar, who was beside Qi Lin, couldn't help but speak up:

"I don't understand why you're so stubborn when you clearly don't know what you should be doing."

I've met many stubborn people, and my father was also very stubborn, but he was willing to bear all the burdens and move forward because he knew what he truly wanted. But what about you?

The Nightmare Knight was somewhat angry:

"What do you know? This is our tribe's most glorious tradition!"

"Your race... am I not mistaken, it's Nightmare?"

A young woman from Rhodes Island's medical department kindly reminded them: "Your race... I've glimpsed a bit of it in history books. They are a group of brave and skilled warriors, a race born for battle."

But I've never heard of that Nightmare Khan being an unreasonable person. He was domineering and proud, but he never resorted to petty tricks; a win was a win, and a loss was a loss.

The Nightmare Knight was speechless for a moment after being rebuked, and stammered:

"I'm not being persistent."

"Then what are you doing?" the girl immediately retorted.

The Nightmare Knight was speechless for a long time.

Qi Lin looked at the miserable Nightmare Knight before her, pursed her lips, raised her hand to condense an ice crystal, and handed it to him:

"This ice crystal can alleviate your pain if you keep it with you. You can leave now. I won't fight you. You're no match for me now."

I also advise you not to cause trouble for the Radiant Knight; you're in no position to defeat her in your current state.

The Nightmare Knight accepted the ice crystal and mumbled a thank you.

The ice crystal touched his hand, sending a cool sensation through him, but it didn't freeze him; instead, it had a gentle feel to it.

The Nightmare Knight was somewhat dazed, and subconsciously murmured, "Mother..."

This sound startled Qi Lin so much that she took a half step back.

Frostnova and the others were completely dumbfounded.

"Ah...I...I'm not..."

The Nightmare Knight realized what was happening and tried to explain himself, but due to nervousness and panic, he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

In the end, Qi Lin calmed down before him, and even with Qi Lin's personality, she couldn't help but show obvious helplessness.

"Perhaps you really need to find an elder to enlighten you," Qi Lin advised. "You are too stubborn and too lonely. You don't even have the only person you can rely on."

Nightmare Knight: "..."

The little girl who knew about the Nightmare race gently tugged at Qi Lin's sleeve:

"Nightmares are a declining race, they might..."

Qi Lin realized she had misspoke, hesitated for a moment, and then corrected herself:

"Perhaps you could try to find someone; they might have a solution."

The Nightmare Knight shook his head: "No need. Perhaps... I have an elder... even if he doesn't understand me."

He was truly devastated at that moment.

Not only did he lose miserably, but he was also repeatedly rendered speechless by Qi Lin and his companions. In a daze, he uttered some outrageous remarks that made Qi Lin wish he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He felt he really needed to talk to Old Frye, or perhaps retreat to a corner and lick his wounds in silence.

After the Nightmare Knight left, Frostnova and the others couldn't help but take a closer look at Qi Lin.

Froststar stepped forward and examined Qi Lin's calm face:

“You’ve changed… uh, I mean, you’ve changed a bit.”

Realizing that her words were a bit strange, Frostnova quickly corrected herself.

Qi Lin looked at Shuangxing and the others, and shook her head, saying:

"I haven't changed, I'm still me."

In the dark and quiet alley, a white figure, out of place with its surroundings, walks slowly.

Platinum's little face was filled with utter despair.

"If you want me dead, you can just say so directly. There's no need to torment me like this."

Platinum chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Silver Spear Pegasus is now patrolling the city, the Black Iron Grandmaster is nowhere to be found, and the Azure Gold Grandmasters are out fishing in pairs somewhere, leaving only the Platinum Grandmaster... oh no, the Unarmored Alliance squad leader, Hinterlea, to continue her mission.

This is clearly sending her to her death!

"This can't go on any longer, we have to think of a solution..."

Platinum scratched his head and suddenly felt a vibration from the terminal in his pocket.

She connected the communication and, unsurprisingly, it was a squad from the Unarmored Alliance who had encountered infected knights and were requesting backup.

With a soft sigh, Platinum, wearing a world-weary expression, slowly walked towards the scene of the incident.

When she arrived, she discovered that the infected knights she had encountered with that squad were actually old acquaintances.

According to the other party, they were not even infected knights; they had simply ended up with the Red Pine Knights by chance.

"Plastic Knight, Serchiak, long time no see."

Platinum calmly observed the man surrounded by members of the Unarmored Alliance.

The other person was wearing a light blue top with a dark cloak over it, and his beard was somewhat unkempt, clearly indicating that he hadn't had the energy to groom it in recent days.

When Sergey saw Platinum appear, his eyes, beneath his somewhat disheveled purple hair, blazed with intense hatred.

Platinum looked at the other person calmly and asked:

"Why are you alone? Aren't the girls from the Red Pine Knights with you?"

"I'm not an infected!" Serkiak roared. "I was only with them to take revenge on you Unarmored Ones. Now I'm acting alone to drag you Unarmored Ones into the abyss!"

Bai Jin understood: "Do you want to start a war with the Unarmored Alliance and provoke the Silver Spear Pegasus to intervene?"

Serchiak simply responded with a cold snort.

Platinum knew the source of the other party's hatred: the Unbound Alliance had attacked Sergeak's family, and the father's current predicament was all caused by the Unbound Alliance.

She suddenly raised her hand to shoo away the members of the Unarmored Alliance around her:
