Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"It just so happens that our mounted police officer Grani was seconded here from out of town these past few days. Handing these two over to Grani will definitely teach them a lesson they deserve."

“I’ll take them there,” Red volunteered.

Susie quickly followed:

“Mr. Reid, I’ll go with you.”

Marna watched the two leave, her brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

The two unconscious men in black had mentioned having powerful backers, and Marna didn't think they would receive the punishment they deserved by simply handing them over to the security forces.

However, Marner didn't say anything.

He has other things to do tomorrow. Once he's done with his business, if these two people don't get the punishment they deserve, he wouldn't mind helping the local police handle the matter as a wandering knight.

Chapter 532 Wailing!

Sunlight falls on the buildings in Little Hill County.

As dawn breaks, the small town begins to regain its usual vitality. On the streets, people are not necessarily dull, but they are still relatively calm.

However, when people see the guards patrolling by, a hint of fear and resistance always flashes in their eyes.

The guards saw everything but said nothing. They simply swept the street with cold, gloomy eyes, searching for any flaws in the citizens' behavior.

At the Rhode Island office, Will stood by the window, gazing absently at the street outside.

"What are you thinking about, Will?"

The shredder came out of the house and casually asked Will a question.

Will took a deep breath, composed himself, and explained:

"I've been thinking about what Qi Yan said last night, and to be honest, it really hit me hard."

“Hmm, I remember now, you were too, no… your grandmother was a Tara.” The shredder recalled something Will had mentioned during their conversation.

Will shook his head: "I am a Tara, but I am also a Victorian."

To be honest, no one has paid much attention to the Tara bloodline for many years; people communicate in Victorian.

But after Qi Yan's reminder, I suddenly realized that the Tara language, which had been gradually disappearing, was appearing in the newspaper, and outside the window, adults were teaching children to address each other in Tara.

“Because someone is using the Tara people.” The shredder believed Qi Yan’s words without a doubt.

"Yes, hopefully we can stop it."

Will let out a long, wistful sigh.

"Qi Yan, and everyone else, we can definitely do it!" the shredder encouraged firmly.

Will also smiled:

"Everyone went out to take action early this morning. I'm not really worried. Even if ACE and the others fail, we still have Qi Yan."

He said that, but I could tell that if things got out of control, Qi Yan would definitely take action.

The paper shredder beside him nodded repeatedly.

As the two were talking, the door creaked open.

A long, shapely leg in white stockings stepped in from outside the door, and then the owner of that long leg, a blonde, blue-eyed woman named Vaiva, came into Will and his companion's view.

“Will, Shredder, I brought you some pastries.”

The woman, holding a Victorian military flag she would never forget in one hand and a delicate pastry in the other, greeted the two men familiarly.

“Jenny, thank you for your hard work.” Will turned and pointed to the table inside the room. “Just put it there… Holy crap!”

Will was halfway through his speech when he remembered there was a historical issue in the house.

The little boy, who had been tied up all night and looked haggard, saw a beautiful older sister with a gentle demeanor and appearance who was definitely a kind person walking into the room. He immediately began to struggle desperately.

The pastry in Jenny's hand fell to the ground.

Her light blue eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the scene inside the room.

The horn's face was very grim.

At this moment, she was facing ACE and his group. Fengdi had just relayed to her the information that Qi Yan had revealed last night.

The horn felt like its head was about to explode.

“I contacted my informant in Little Hill County last night to try and reach Lentinium, but there was no response.”

Horn rubbed his temples: "I didn't expect that after we met today, you would bring me such frightening information."

However, I have another question: Where is Qi Yanren?

The horn swept across the crowd, but it didn't notice Qi Yan's conspicuous white hair.

“He also has his own plans,” ACE explained. “If you see him or recognize him next, don’t be surprised. He may suddenly appear in front of you in any form or under any identity.”

Before the horn could digest and absorb this information, Outcast spoke:

“Lady Horn, I think it’s necessary for us to join forces. I know you have your own mission to fulfill, and Rhodes Island also has its own things to do.”

But the most important thing for Hillshire right now is to prevent the military from engaging in direct conflict with Deeppool forces and to try to publicize Deeppool's plans.

"I see."

The horn suppressed its anxiety: "But things aren't that simple. Since the Tara people have already been brainwashed by the Deep Pool, it will be difficult for them to accept the second explanation we offer."

“Let’s take it one step at a time. First, let’s figure out how to sneak into tonight’s banquet,” ACE calmly analyzed. “That will be the trigger for the outbreak of the situation in Little Hill County.”

The horn nodded in agreement, proactively offering solutions:

“Although we are not from a very prominent family, I am of Victorian nobility and can guide everyone into the banquet through proper channels, which will make things easier for everyone.”

"What a pleasant surprise!" ACE said with a smile.

"It's also possible that all of this was within Qi Yan's calculations."

Chen didn't distinguish between good and bad, and he put all the blame on Qi Yan's head.

Qi Yan, who was slurping down the sanity potion, suddenly choked.

His voice immediately alerted a man at the end of the alley.

"Who is it... uh!"

Before the man could finish speaking, he felt a dazzling golden light flash before his eyes, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Qi Yan picked up the unconscious man and shook him, then grinned:

"You're pretty tough. I thought you'd be killed by me. Oh well, you're lucky you weren't meant to die."

Qi Yan looked around and, seeing that no one had noticed what was happening in the alley, picked up the package that had slipped out of the man's arms and quickly headed towards the Rhodes Island office with the man in tow.

When he pushed the door open and dragged the man inside, everyone in the room was startled.

Just as Jenny had calmed down, she suddenly witnessed Qi Yan's blatant kidnapping and almost burst into tears on the spot.

“You you you…you guys…”

Jenny looked at Qi Yan, then at Will, and felt that she had finally come to know Rhodes Island today.

Will covered his face in anguish; Jenny didn't cry out, but he began to wail first:

"Qi Yan, why did you kidnap another one? I just explained it to Jenny, and now my throat is practically on fire."

"No need to explain, this guy is a villain from Deeppool, he deserves to die."

Qi Yan shook the package in his hand, scattering the man's deep pool soldier uniform all over the ground.

The shredder stepped forward, picked up the Deep Pool soldier's standard mask, glanced at Qi Yan, and instantly understood everything.

Will exclaimed first, "Are you going to betray us again?"

Qi Yan put on the Deep Pool soldier's uniform piece by piece, and finally snatched the mask from the shredder's hand and slapped it onto his face.

A brand-new deep-pool soldier was born in front of the few people present.

"Don't try to get close to me. I, Qi Xiaobai, am Deeppool's most loyal soldier. Rhodes Island? We're not familiar with them, really not familiar with them!"

Qi Yan took out his terminal and said to the group:

“I need to leave the city for the sake of Deeppool’s bright future. I now need one of you to guide me.”

“I’ll do it,” Will sighed. “Oliver’s out on missions, and even the shredder has trouble talking. Who else can I do it for?”

"Shameless! With girls around, who would choose a lousy old man like you?"

Will: "..."

I feel offended, thank you.

Jenny's eyes widened: "Me? But we just met, I don't even know you."

Qi Yan suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Jenny, raised his hand to remove his mask, his face full of affection, his eyes gentle as water, and said in a soft, bubbly voice:

Do you believe in fate and love at first sight, beautiful lady?

It is said that five hundred glances in a past life are exchanged for a mere brush in this life. I think it must be through countless reincarnations that I have included you in my ranks time and time again, in order to have this encounter in this life.

Promise me, Jenny.

Jenny looked at Qi Yan's face, which was extremely beautiful when he was serious, and was deeply moved. She firmly shook her head to indicate her refusal.

Chapter 533 has appeared, Qin Liu feels...

The lamentation may be an epidemic.

The first case of the disease appeared in Jenny, then spread to Will, and now it's Qi Yan's turn.

“Good, but how can you know that a friend is not a friend, and a family is not a family? How can you hear that strategists mock, children cry, and cities are destroyed?”

Qi Yan clutched his heart, his eyes filled with sorrow, and spoke in words that no one present could understand.

The paper shredder scratched its head, racking its brains, but could only figure out one thing:

"This is the language of Yan State. I remember it. It's called Classical Chinese."

"That's not important. What's important is that Qi Yan has gone crazy again. What are we going to do if Miss Qi Lin isn't here?" Will covered his face.

Jenny watched the three of them making a ruckus and felt that ever since the famous Qi Yan appeared, the Rhodes Island style she used to know was changing.

After a moment's hesitation, Jenny felt she should give Rhodes Island some trust.

Moreover, since a powerful figure like Qi Yan has lowered himself to take the initiative to invite him, it's best not to offend him.

"Um... could you tell me first where you want me to lead you?"

Seeing that Jenny had relented, Qi Yan stopped wailing:

"I'll go out of the city to find a few companions. I'll contact them to get the exact coordinates, and then you'll take me there."

"We already have the coordinates, why do I still need to lead the way?"

"Never mind that... Ah, I mean, this long journey always needs a beautiful companion to make it less lonely."

No matter how she listened, it didn't seem reliable at all.

Will stood by with a wry smile, trying to put in a good word for Qi Yan:

“Jenny, don’t worry. I can assure you that Qi Yan has no ill intentions. He’s just encountered a field he’s not good at.”

Jenny finally nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, she solemnly entrusted the military flag she carried with her to Will for safekeeping.

Taking advantage of this time, Qi Yan contacted the oboe, who was on a mission outside the city, and successfully obtained the current coordinates of the Storm Commando by intimidation and threats.

The two then hurriedly left the city.

Meanwhile, Horn was discussing plans with ACE and others when he suddenly received a communication from Triangle:

"Captain, help! We've been targeted by Xiaobai—no, we've been targeted by Qi Yan!"

After hearing ACE's warning, she was prepared to meet Qi Yan during the upcoming conflict with the Deep Pool forces, but why was her own squad the first to suffer?!

"What is he going to do?" the horn asked.

"Qi Yan threatened us to hand over his coordinates, saying he'd take us to find the 'Big Treasure'." Triangle Iron's tone revealed confusion. "Given his terrible sense of direction, even with coordinates he wouldn't be able to find us, let alone this 'Big Treasure'. Does he intend to lead us to steal the Deep Pool troops' backside?"
