Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Boss, you saw right through me," Biyura complimented.

The woman in film waved her hand dismissively, saying:

"Praise is useless to me; I want results and effectiveness."

"If my plan succeeds, the Kester faction will become the first to see through Qi Yan's plan."

Biula's words startled the woman in the film, making her sit up straight.

"Tell me more details," she urged.

"This is an inspiration I got from your notes. Qi Yan is a shrewd and calculating strategist, and he is plotting some gains in this war."

Biyura's beautiful face was solemn: "Including you, leader, all forces have been trying to figure out what Qi Yan really wants, but they have been distracted by the smokescreens Qi Yan has released and have not been able to find out the truth."

However, based on my analysis of Qi Yan's actions from the moment he first appeared in the public eye until now, I've come to a bold conclusion!

"Stop playing coy at a time like this, or I'll pluck your tail hairs!" the woman in Felin threatened urgently.

Biyura was startled and quickly covered her tail, taking two steps back and forcing a dry laugh:

"Qi Yan currently knows that the three forces he controls—Rhodes Island, Reunion Movement, and Sarkaz—are all closely related to the Infected and Oripathy."

More importantly, Qi Yan always portrays his abilities as being linked to Originium.

More importantly, Qi Yan is clearly a god and could not possibly be infected with Oripathy, yet the body he is currently inhabiting has Oripathy.

"so……"

"So Qi Yan's real goal is actually Originium!"

After listening to Biura's analysis, the woman was somewhat bewildered.

"What do you mean Qi Yan's goal is Originium?" she asked doubtfully. "This land has never lacked Originium. Even if Qi Yan's goal is certain Originium veins and he wants to extract a large amount of pure Originium, he can just go and rob whichever one he wants. No one would offend him for a few Originium, right?"

"It's not the Originium from this land, but the Originium within people's bodies!"

Biura herself didn't know what she was saying. She was just making up some wild and unfounded speculations to lay the groundwork for her next plan.

Clearing his throat twice, Biyura spoke in a serious tone with a stern face:

"I investigated many ancient books, and all the relevant records tell of the ancient Sarkaz race and their extraordinary ability to integrate Originium."

Given Qi Yan's abilities, if he were to seriously study Originium, he would undoubtedly be the one on this land who understands the essence of Originium best. Therefore, I speculate...

He may be searching for the most fundamental origin of Originium, but his research has hit a bottleneck. That's why he's re-entered the world to guide the Sarkaz; he wants to use this land as his experimental material!

The woman from Felin, puzzled but impressed, asked, "Then why must it be the Sarkaz? Just because they are susceptible to Oripathy?"

Biura has completely let loose and opened her mind: "Don't forget what I just mentioned, Qi Yan's ability to show off is linked to Originium."

I suspect this is the result of his research on Originium. Qi Yan is a god, but there are actually quite a few gods on this land, and he is by no means the strongest god.

He was pursuing greater power, so he had the Sarkaz start a war, which would create more infected people, and these infected people would become the best breeding ground for Originium.

And then there's the ultimate calamity cloud he tested before. All these signs indicate that he wants to use quantitative change to trigger a qualitative leap, creating the strongest Originium to enhance his own strength and become the undisputed strongest being on this land!

The woman in the film gasped in shock.

Despite the absurdity of her statement, she inexplicably felt that it made some sense.

An ancient god who has lived for countless years suddenly appears and painstakingly plots a war, all for the sake of one general's success at the cost of countless lives, so that he can ascend to the pinnacle...

This feels so familiar, but why does it have this bad movie vibe?

The woman grabbed her hair forcefully.

After Biura finished explaining his wild idea, he calmly waited for the woman in the film to react.

She wasn't in a hurry at all, because she had indeed learned some things from her boss's notes.

That means staff officers don't need to consider whether their conclusions are reasonable; that's something the leaders should consider.

After a moment's thought, just as Biula had predicted, the woman from Felin quickly finalized the matter.

"I will submit your speculation. Remember, you are not allowed to mention your speculation to anyone before the higher-ups give the order!"

“Boss, this is just my speculation, but what I need to report this time is the operation plan.” Biyura revealed his true purpose at the right time.

"What do you mean?"

"I want to contact Qi Yan in person."

"Why?!" The woman in Felin was genuinely frightened this time. "You don't actually think you can gain the upper hand over Qi Yan with your little bit of cleverness, do you?"

“No, I’m doing this for Victoria,” Biura said firmly.

Film Girl: ?

Biura took a deep breath and said seriously:

"If Qi Yan's plan is as I suspect, then Victoria will be the first to be destroyed by his plan. The Duke, the Sarkaz, and the people of this country will all die."

“It shouldn’t be a mere advisor like you who’s going to contact Qi Yan. The person in the grey top hat is the best choice.” The woman in the Filin didn’t even think about it before rejecting him outright.

"But I want to go, only then can I be valued!"

"I don't understand. You've already fulfilled your duties as a staff officer, so why would you take this risk and fight for this credit?"

"Because I want to climb the ladder and become the real ruler, I want to bring Conley back from the North!"

"I...you..."

After learning the truth, the woman in the film was almost so angry at Biura's love-struck mind that she swore.

Biura remained silent, but a determined light shone in her eyes.

She had actually been lying from the moment she walked in.

All she was saying was that she just wanted to pack up the bucket and run away.

Because of Conley's affair, Biura realized that in the eyes of the duke and nobles, she was nothing and could be abandoned at any time.

In order to critically examine the labels in her boss's notes, she stayed up all night meticulously investigating all known intelligence from various factions, digging into almost every detail.

The more Biura learned, the more she realized that in Victoria's current situation, the Duke's side was playing the role of the absolute villain.

In the game's storyline, when this faction ends up, nine out of ten times it falls apart.

Biura felt that if he continued to follow these ducal forces to their doom, he would eventually be harvested as a cannon fodder by other forces waving the banner of 'justice and love'.

Chapter 655 When a Traitor Meets an Undercover Agent

"You go back first."

The woman waved to dismiss Biula.

Biula did not persist in his demands and instead conceded.

The fact that my boss, who has a sharp tongue but a kind heart, didn't directly refuse means that there's a high probability that things will succeed.

Back at her seat, Biyura saw that her colleagues were all buried in mountains of documents and had no interest in anything else. Biyura then picked out a document by Qi Yan and continued to study it.

This is a habit she developed from playing games for many years. She would play many levels over and over again, exploring the entire map bit by bit, trying to find all the hidden information.

Biyura tried her best to block out all the labels that outsiders had put on Qi Yan, and tried to figure out Qi Yan's personality traits by repeatedly observing Qi Yan's behavior.

"Chestron... Lungmen... Siesta... Qi Yan's behavior is indeed strange in every way."

Despite trying her best to avoid labeling Qi Yan, Biyura couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu: "He seems omniscient and omnipotent, but in my opinion, he can't predict everything..."

It's more like he's playing a game on a second playthrough, knowing the main storyline and trying to create a new ending based on that...

As she spoke, Biura herself laughed at the idea.

She reached up and scratched her cat ears, then buried her face in the documents.

If Qi Yan is indeed a second-time player, would she be able to attract Qi Yan's attention as an NPC named Felin outside the main storyline?

“Nursing homes…maybe that’s the target I should focus on.”

Biura lay on the table and reached out to pull out another document.

That was all the information about the Kazdel Nursing Home outside the city of Londinium. The information was very detailed because everyone discovered that Qi Yan didn't care at all who went up to that plot of land or who was searching for clues inside.

"Wendigo, who betrayed Kazdel and Ursus twice, is actually willing to sit in charge of the nursing home..."

Biyura frowned, her small face scrunched up: "How am I supposed to increase my favorability with this person?"

I heard he adopted a goddaughter. If I go and join him, could I become a goddaughter too?

"Actually, you just need to save some money to join a nursing home."

A man’s hushed voice came from behind Biula.

Biyura was so startled that her tail bristled slightly. She turned around abruptly and found a colleague standing behind her with a smile.

"When did you arrive?" Biura asked nervously.

"That's not important. What's important is that I saw everything you did," the colleague said, still smiling.

Upon hearing this, Biura's face showed a slight hint of tension and fear.

Her actions were nothing short of betrayal, and once this was exposed, she would not see the sun rise the next day... no, she wouldn't even see the moon tonight.

"Don't be nervous, I won't tell anyone."

A colleague pulled up a chair and sat down next to Biura, lowering his voice to say, "I can help you with your defection, in exchange I need you to give me a chance to be alone with the leadership."

What kind of strange side quest is this?

My colleague, as if he could read minds, gently shook his finger:

"This isn't a side quest, it's a mandatory main quest. If you don't agree, you'll face a GAME OVER."

Biura looked surprised: "Who exactly are you?"

“You’re going to betray us soon, so you don’t need to know who we are.”

His colleague was still smiling; his smile hadn't disappeared since he appeared in Biula's sight, and he looked gentle and lively.

But Biyura suddenly got goosebumps all over, feeling like her colleague was about to trigger the "uncanny valley effect".

This person's smile was very warm and welcoming when I met them before.

"Why do I have to provide this opportunity for you?" Biura suppressed her surprise and asked, "Can't you just make a plan yourself and then report it?"

My colleague patiently explained:

"Our current situation is hard to describe, but making a plan is not difficult for us."

But for us now, this plan is likely to trigger unpredictable repercussions that will not benefit our operations. We cherish this rare individual who managed to infiltrate our ranks.

Biura felt like she was about to stop breathing.

She finally realized the true identity of the 'colleague' in front of her.

The Sarkaz Royal Court, a colony of shapeshifters!

Biyura never dreamed that, despite everyone having gone to great lengths to screen their own personnel to prevent Qi Yan's perverse interests, these guys still managed to sneak in!

The shapeshifter was also in great pain at that moment.

In order to minimize the backlash from Eureka, and having finally passed the Duke's personnel screening, they dared not do anything that could have an impact.

During this period, they slacked off at work every day and refused all social interaction after get off work.

The shapeshifter felt that he couldn't keep this up for long, but surprisingly, everyone seemed to take it for granted, and many even gave him knowing smiles.

The shapeshifter was puzzled.

They decided not to wait any longer, but to first extend their own influence to the leadership of the Duke of Caesar's side, and then slowly study the strange mentality of these people.

The girl in front of them, who had been hiding in the bathroom and crying, and then secretly plotting her rebellion, immediately became the best partner chosen by the shapeshifters.

The shapeshifters kept a close watch on Beola. At such close range, they were confident they could silently eliminate her before she could make any revealing moves.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Biura's forehead, and he forced a smile:

"I have no room to resist, do I?"

The shapeshifter nodded.

"...Okay, I promise you."

"Pleasant to work with."
