Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Is that Shelag?" Horn asked.

Qi Yan nodded, emphasizing the importance of honesty:

"The blizzard swept past, and now standing before Khelag was a true emperor. Perhaps in a few years, Khelag would no longer be a synonym for backwardness."

The horn remained silent, frowning as it fell into deep thought.

She wasn't particularly concerned about the development of Shelag, but she seemed to have glimpsed the name Shelag in some report some time ago.

What event happened?

I couldn't quite recall the bugle call for a moment.

Even after the three arrived at the entrance checkpoint to Little Hill County, Horn still couldn't recall any crucial information.

"Bagpipes, stop now, we're heading into town."

The horn stopped the bagpipes, which were still faithfully carrying out the order to run laps.

Qi Yan watched as Feng Di returned to the team with a calm and collected demeanor, his fair face showing not even the slightest hint of flush from exercise.

"You Terra Supermen are absolutely outrageous..."

Qi Yan muttered something to himself, followed behind the bugle, and used the bugle's military identification to enter the city without inspection.

Arriving on the streets of Xiaoqiu County, Haojiao looked at Qi Yan and asked:

"Now that we're in the city, you can't afford to get lost again, can you?"

Next, you go find your friend, and Bagpipe and I will go find our own clues. If your information is confirmed to be true... I will personally visit you to express my apologies.

Qi Yan waved his hand dismissively:

"I was just teasing you before. How could I possibly be angry with you? We're like family."

If you need to find me, just go to the Rhodes Island office in the city.

"Rhodes Island?!"

Upon hearing the name, both the horn and the bagpipes were startled.

“Yes, Old Chen should be waiting for me at the Rhodes Island office right now,” Qi Yan explained. “Old Chen is currently receiving treatment for Oripathy at Rhodes Island and is also a partner operator there.”

"Chen Huijie has contracted ore disease?" Horn frowned.

"Chen Chen..."

Upon hearing this devastating news, Fengdi's face immediately filled with heartache, and he pleaded, "Captain, may I go visit Chenchen?"

The bugle silently nodded.

Bagpipes walked towards Qi Yan, preparing to go to the Rhodes Island office with him, while muttering something under his breath:

"But Chen Chen actually joined Rhodes Island! Since the end of last year, this previously unknown little company has become increasingly famous, mainly because of that white-haired guy named Qi Yan... Luper..."

As Fengdi spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, and his eyes widened as he stared intently at Qi Yan in front of him.

Chapter 528 A New Mascot

"Qi... Qi Yan!"

A bagpipe cried out in surprise.

Qi Yan's face immediately fell.

And here we go again, the "Everyone Knows You" effect from the Squirrel Flight version!

After realizing Qi Yan's true identity, Bagpipe was so frightened that she jumped to Horn's side and raised the shield that Horn had thrown to her to protect the two of them.

"Silly girl, the captain gave you the shield so you could protect yourself."

Qi Yan smiled again: "Although it was all in vain."

Bagpipe looked at the shield, then at Qi Yan, and felt somewhat discouraged.

Against such a powerful opponent, a standard tactical shield is clearly insufficient.

Horn pushed aside his shield and frowned as he looked at Qi Yan.

She had to admit that she was also somewhat frightened when Fengdi revealed Qi Yan's true identity.

But what's more important now is...

"What are you planning to do here?" the horn demanded.

A legend circulates on this land today: wherever Qi Yan goes, there are either natural disasters or man-made calamities, and so far there have been no exceptions.

Qi Yan smiled mysteriously:

"What time is it now?"

Horn frowned: "Late November, specific date..."

"No specific date is needed. Think back, how long has it been since your team last contacted Lentinium after you started your operation?"

Horn's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Bagpipes, I'm going to find our informant in Little Hill County." With that, Horn turned and left.

Bagpipes was immediately at a loss: "Huh? What about me?"

"Why don't you go and visit Chen Huijie?"

Before the sound of the bugle call had completely faded, she had already left the scene in a flurry.

Bagpipes stood there, somewhat disheveled.

Was she just abandoned by her own captain like that?

Was he left beside that legendary Qi Yan?

"Then let's go, my silly girl." Qi Yan smiled with a Warfarin-like grin. "Now you're the one your captain has chosen to act as the mascot for the Storm Assault Team's friendship with Rhodes Island."

"Huh? Is that how it is?"

Bagpipe suddenly realized.

Qi Yan turned his head and glanced in the direction the horn had gone, feeling a sense of admiration in his heart.

With his bold ideas and decisive actions, and his quick and accurate analysis of situations, Haojiao is undoubtedly an outstanding decision-maker.

Qi Yan gave a shout and took the lead in starting the operation: "I've already wasted a lot of time on the way, and we still need to keep asking about the location of the Rhodes Island office. If we delay any longer, we won't make it to dinner tonight."

"Huh? You don't even know the location of your own organization's office?"

"Shut up, don't be like that other mascot, always shouting and saying whatever comes to mind!"

Marna leaned against the wall of the alley with her arms crossed, closing her eyes to rest.

As he recalled the day's events, a barely perceptible smile crept onto his lips.

"Susie, that little girl with pink film, is indeed a rare good girl."

Not long ago, when he first arrived in Karaton, he got into a conflict with the customers in the store because of Qi Yan's misleading words. Those guys thought he was deliberately trying to pick a fight and bully Susie, so they all grabbed their weapons and rushed up to beat him up.

Susie tried to stop him but failed, and as a result, everyone in the store got beaten up by Marna.

Although the man Qi Yan specifically mentioned, Red, made Marna feel a little threatened, Marna successfully disarmed him before he could draw his sword and completed Qi Yan's request.

"Fortunately, the misunderstanding was eventually cleared up." Marna looked up at the deepening night sky. "When was the last time I successfully reconciled with someone and became friends after a conflict...? It's been ten years."

A sigh echoed through the alley.

There was no helplessness or sorrow, only a feeling called remembrance.

Marna's golden beast ears twitched slightly, catching the barely perceptible footsteps.

Under Marna's watchful gaze, a nimble, petite figure in black slipped into a shop outside the alley like a cat.

The shop sign was brand new, clearly indicating that it had just been renovated.

Marna stared at the signboard of 'Green Sparks', which he had been chosen to hang up himself, thanks to his height advantage, during the day earlier today.

Susie, that young girl, used her savings of many years to successfully rent this shop, fulfilling her long-held dream and gaining the possibility of surviving in this small town.

Marner felt an unprecedented sense of peace simply by recalling the smile on Susie's face during the day.

Will things develop as Qi Yan predicted?

Marna muttered to himself as his gaze caught two more dark figures sneaking up in front of the Green Spark.

"It's right here. I saw that woman hide inside."

"Tsk, her Originium Arts are troublesome, we don't have time to waste with her."

"what do you mean?"

Do you have any more incendiary bombs?

The two dark figures exchanged a glance, and one of them decisively pulled out a Molotov cocktail.

Just as the man was about to pull the pin on the incendiary bomb, a strong hand gripped his wrist firmly.

"I don't recommend you do this."

Marna's voice was devoid of emotion.

"who?!"

The two men in black were startled and quickly jumped aside.

Marna did not take forceful action; he simply seized the incendiary bomb and let the person in his hand break free.

Looking at the incendiary bomb in his palm, Marner was somewhat surprised:

"Although the markings on this type of incendiary bomb have been deliberately erased, I can still tell that it comes from the military."

"Who...who are you to interfere in our affairs!" a man in black shouted angrily.

"Just a wandering knight, an unknown nobody."

Marna, holding the incendiary bomb, reminded him, "Although this shop is rented out, it is still essentially Rhodes Island's property, and Rhodes Island has a habit of protecting its own."

Both men in black were startled by the name Rhodes Island.

In just one year, Rhodes Island has transformed from an unknown pharmaceutical company into a notorious organization that strikes fear into the hearts of everyone.

One of the men in black hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a menacing voice:

"So what if it's Rhodes Island? Would they really make such a fuss over a shabby shop?"

I advise you not to cause trouble; we have powerful backers behind us!

“It seems you haven’t realized something,” Marna said calmly.

"I mentioned Rhodes Island not only to persuade you to leave, but also to restrain my impulse to hurt people... I'm actually very angry right now."

Marna's voice suddenly turned cold: "The years of hard work of an innocent little girl were almost destroyed because of you!"

Before the two men in black could react, a golden arm armor rapidly enlarged in their eyes.

There were no unnecessary movements, and no room for resistance.

The two men in black were like children facing a boxing champion in Marner's hands, tumbling and flying backward on the spot.

Meanwhile, the girl hiding in the Green Spark Shop looked pained.

"Ha, I accidentally stumbled upon that kind of thing and got chased so badly."

The girl clutched her injured shoulder, looking indignant: "If the symptoms of Oripathy hadn't gotten worse, how could those two guys have made me look so pathetic?"

After catching her breath in the shop, the girl endured the excruciating pain of her Oripathy attack and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But suddenly she heard two muffled thuds.

The girl was certain she hadn't misheard; it was the sound of someone making a scene outside the shop.

The next second, the shop door was pushed open.

The tall and imposing swordsman strode into the shop, carrying an unconscious man in black in one hand.

"Are you going to come out on your own, or should I physically pull you out?"
