Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"The ones who seem dangerous are the robbers who encountered Mr. Marner."

Looking at this junior from Kuranta, Marna couldn't help but smile slightly.

This little girl named Grani, like Maria, is young and full of energy. Although she can be a bit absent-minded at times, she is always full of fighting spirit.

Marna waved goodbye without turning her head.

(A short side story, written after seeing the End of the World PV)

The massive moving block rumbled and sped across the wilderness.

Qi Yan sat cross-legged at the edge of the block, his eyes closed and his face serious.

Chen walked up behind him, looking at Qi Yan, who was unusually quiet, with a surprised expression:

"Are you imitating those Yan Kingdom Celestial Masters' meditation and cultivation methods?"

"No, I'm achieving oneness with nature, exploring the information of this land," Qi Yan said mysteriously.

"The unity of heaven and man? Isn't that just the old Celestial Master's stuff?" Chen was somewhat puzzled. "So what information are you trying to find out?"

Qi Yan opened his eyes and grinned:

I accidentally fell asleep.

List:"……"

Just as Chen was about to turn and leave, Qi Yan grabbed her hand and said earnestly:

"But in my dream I saw a figure that looked a lot like you."

For some reason, seeing Qi Yan say such misunderstandingable words with such a serious tone and expression, she was at a loss.

"What...what did you see in me?" Chen's eyes darted away.

“It’s not you. I suspect it’s your daughter or granddaughter, or your granddaughter’s granddaughter.” Qi Yan stroked his chin. “She’s on a planet called Tawei II, practicing the Crimson Sky Sword Technique quite skillfully.”

"You call this information from this land?!"

For some reason, Chen felt inexplicably angry after realizing that the person in Qi Yan's dream was not him.

Qi Yan, oblivious to Chen's subtle shift in emotion, continued speaking to himself:

“I also dreamed about Kyle.”

"Kelsey?"

"It's Kal'tsit, all smiles!" Qi Yan's face suddenly turned tense and terrified. "Can you believe it? Kal'tsit's face, with that cheerful, energetic girl smile!"

At this point, both Qi Yan and Chen shuddered.

But Qi Yan quickly became excited again:

"I also dreamed about information that seemed to be related to the doctor."

"What information?" Chen asked suspiciously.

Qi Yan jumped up on the spot, raised his arms and shouted:

"The professor changed his title; now he's an administrator, and he can also be a little sister!"

(Hyperhorn, I want to play Endgame! Quick, let me play Endgame!!!!)

Chapter 557 I'm going to plant a hundred bombs under his throne!

Two hurried footsteps echoed through the corridors of the Rhodes Island ship.

It was clearly an active footstep that forcibly dragged down another passive footstep.

"W, even if there's reliable information that Logos has left the ship, do you really need to be in such a hurry?"

Arturo, slightly out of breath after being dragged along by W's arm the whole way, said, "How come I never knew you liked Kal'tsit so much?"

"Shut up, you Sakorta!"

W said irritably, "If you dare to gossip again, I'll stuff your mouth full of potatoes!"

Arturo chuckled softly, seeing that Kal'tsit's office was already in sight, and didn't rush to provoke W's easily angered temper any further.

W kicked the door repeatedly until he heard M3's familiar growl from inside. Only then did W jump behind Arturo to hide.

M3 opened the door and let out a threatening growl at W.

W wrinkled her nose and responded with a cute low growl.

The roar stunned the M3, which paused for a moment before stepping aside to let the two of them in.

Before Arturo could even take a step, W shoved her aside and dashed into the house like a madman.

Arturo patted his disheveled clothes, pursed his lips, and followed him inside.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw W slamming her fist on the table and yelling at Kal'tsit:

"Quickly, old woman, let me go to Londinium!"

"I've already said it, now..."

"Don't give me that nonsense!" W interrupted Kal'tsit's riddle activation. "I've already received the news. That dog has already headed to Lontinim, and Logos and Misery have also set off."

Why can they go, but I, W, can't?

Kal'tsit was scolded by W, and she silently glared at W with her cat-like face.

Faced with Kal'tsit's gaze, W gradually calmed down and realized that she seemed to be no match for the old woman in front of her.

She quickly put on a kind smile and spoke softly:

"Hey, didn't you say before that my going would make things chaotic? But now the biggest mess has passed, the little trouble I caused is nothing."

"Give me a ton of Originium bombs, and even if I work myself to the bone, it's not as good as that dog's spit. Don't you think so?"

Arturo looked at W, who had a kind face but was speaking vulgar language, and her face immediately showed undisguised disgust.

Arturo turned and patted the M3, then pointed to the seat next to him.

The man and the beast hit it off immediately and hid aside to quietly watch W and Kal'tsit's duel.

“W, the truth is always surprising. No one can predict everything that will happen in the future. All we can do is limit the possibilities to the outcome that is most beneficial to ourselves.”

Kal'tsit, with a sullen, cat-like face, went on and on: "Qi Yan has the absolute freedom and confidence, but Rhodes Island doesn't, and you certainly don't."

No one knows how things will ultimately turn out in Lentinium. We can only try our best to change things. Whether it's Amiya, you, or the Doctor, no one can guarantee that they are ready to face everything.

Of course, this is not a reason to back down, but we still…

"Ah! Stop talking!"

W yelled in frustration, "You old woman, you'll never be able to keep me here! I'm going to Lontinem!"

Soft music suddenly filled the office.

The two people in the middle of the argument immediately turned to look at Arturo.

"Oh dear, I saw you two arguing so fiercely, so I thought I'd lend you a hand." Arturo raised his violin bow, his eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile.

With Kal'tsit's order, Arturo was thrown out of the office along with his violin.

She didn't wander off; instead, she squatted by the door, clutching her beloved violin, blinking her eyes as if pondering something.

A few minutes later, even through the door, she could hear W's excited cheers.

The door opened, and W rushed out, cupping Arturo's face and trying to kiss him hard, but Arturo forcibly blocked her with his harp bow.

“Sarkaz, don’t come near me with that repulsive face of yours.” Arturo’s eyes twitched violently.

The thought of possibly getting Sarkaz's saliva on her face made her feel like her obsessive-compulsive disorder was driving her crazy.

W released his grip, turned his head, spat twice into the air, and said excitedly:

"I'm just too excited and need to get a closer look at your fake, serious face to calm myself down."

That old woman finally let me go to Londinium. I'm going to find Theresis, and I'm going to plant a hundred bombs under his throne!

"And then he'll grab you, pin you to the throne, and make you enjoy the detonation of the landmines you planted yourself?"

Arturo retorted, "I've heard of that regent; he probably wouldn't even need to draw his blade to kill you."

"Are you stupid!" W said arrogantly. "That dog is also in Lontinim. As long as I find him, I'll make him beat Theresis down first, and then I'll blast him into the sky with a bomb!"

And you, if you just play a little tune in Lentinium, things will absolutely get chaotic!

"I don't want to be overwhelmed by the Sarkaz's centuries-old rage."

Arturo coldly rejected this suicidal suggestion.

Unfortunately, W couldn't listen to anything at the moment. He forcibly grabbed Arturo's arm and dragged her hurriedly down the corridor again.

Arturo looked utterly desperate.

In the hands of this mad Sarkaz, her power was utterly inadequate, and her Originium Arts were unable to capture the madman's emotions; she was completely at his mercy.

The two came and went in a hurry, returning to Rhodes Island from outside and driving away again without even staying for half an hour.

Arturo looked around at the thick fog, expressionless, and fastened his seatbelt.

"W, I hope you can control your crazy behavior when you're driving. I've already experienced the torment of a madman driving, and I don't want to experience it again."

Besides, this is a foggy weather caused by a natural disaster... Brake! There's a ditch ahead!

After Kal'tsit tricked W away, she sighed with a bit of a headache.

She then tidied up the documents on her desk and got up to walk towards the operating room in the medical department.

Another surgery awaits her, one that she must perform herself.

In the corridor, Kal'tsit bumped into the Doctor, who was deep in thought.

“You rarely show this expression. I hope you haven’t made another stupid mistake and are trying to hide it while losing your sanity,” Kal’tsit said expressionlessly.

"If I really wanted to keep it from you, I wouldn't need to use my rationality at all."

The Doctor's words almost made Kal'tsit blurt out a riddle.

But the Doctor was clearly prepared, and immediately continued speaking before Kal'tsit could unleash her attack:

"But I have a vague feeling that the white-haired dog's plan is about to take effect."

"What do you mean?" Kal'tsit frowned.

"Sharp is recovering from his injuries and unable to move around. Logos and Misery have been sent to Londinium, and most of the other elite operators have also temporarily left Rhodes Island due to various missions."

The doctor turned to look at the white fog outside the window: "Qi Yan knew that things were not urgent, but he deliberately acted in a flamboyant manner, as if to announce to everyone that he would not be returning to Rhodes Island for a while."

Of course, these are all questions I deduced based on a single clue. The truly crucial information is that Qi Yan suddenly entrusted Chen with a task, and Chen then handed over the brocade pouch that ACE had brought back.

"The one for Talulah?" Kal'tsit's expression was somewhat serious. "Because it was Qi Yan's arrangement, no one checked the contents."

The Doctor shook his head: "Kal'tsit, you didn't understand what I meant."

The important thing isn't the contents of the pouch, but that Qi Yan gave Talulah a pouch at this time.

Chapter 558 The Evil Spirit Makes Its Move, But Its Target is Rhodes Island

Kal'tsit frowned and thought for a moment, then her brow relaxed:

"I have an important surgery that can't be delayed. I hope it won't be too big of a commotion."

After saying that, Kal'tsit turned around and continued on her way.

But the doctor called out to her from behind:

"Kal'tsit, you already know, don't you?"

"Qi Yan means that preparations are complete. Once Talulah, this prisoner with a sensitive identity, leaves Rhodes Island, Rhodes Island can proceed to Victoria ahead of schedule. You can make the arrangements."

With that, Kal'tsit left without looking back.

The doctor shrugged and continued on his way with his head down, feeling very troubled.

"Given the current state of affairs on Rhodes Island, it's difficult to put on this show without elite operators. Perhaps I need the help of some 'undercover agents'."

Time passed slowly, and Rhodes Island remained peaceful.
