Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

In the corner of the picture, someone's cheeky dog ​​paws carefully occupy part of the frame, making the same scissor gesture as Theresa.

Chapter 769 I shouldn't have been in the car, I should have been under the car.

W felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

An unnamed melody hummed from her small lips as W's hands busily worked.

When she's in a bad mood, she likes to fry something; when she's in a good mood, she also likes to fry something.

As they marched along, everyone who saw the bomb W was fiddling with instinctively moved away from this dangerous individual, lest they become the test subjects when W got into a rage.

Theresa glanced at W with some concern, then whispered to Qi Yan beside her:

"Should I not have been so radical?"

"You're already a deeply sinful woman, so what difference does it make if you bear this much more sin?"

Qi Yan made a joke, then prepared to turn around and remind his younger sister not to be fooled by this bad woman.

When he turned around, he saw Qi Lin silently staring at Theresa.

Qi Yan: "...It's over, another sin added to the list."

Qi Lin ignored him.

Theresa turned her head to meet Qi Lin's gaze. She slightly raised the corners of her lips. As if receiving some message, Qi Lin nodded gently, and Theresa nodded in response.

No, what's going on with these two?

"Who's the one who's bewitched by whom?" Qi Yan asked tentatively.

Theresa rolled her eyes at Qi Yan helplessly:

"What are you thinking about all day long?"

"A beautiful woman with big, wavy hair!" Qi Yan replied without hesitation.

Theresa paused, then turned to look at her smooth, long, straight hair.

She hadn't expected Qi Yan to like that type, but his requirements weren't particularly high.

"No need to look, it has nothing to do with hair." Qi Lin couldn't bear to see Theresa kept in the dark, so she kindly reminded her, "Of the three conditions, you only meet the last one."

Theresa: ?

After giving the warning, Qi Lin skillfully punched Qi Yan in the ribs, successfully calming him down.

The brother and sister had already clicked, but Theresa was still out of sync.

She fiddled with the ends of her hair, not forcing herself to join the siblings' conversation, and turned to look at the doctor.

Throughout the journey, the Doctor did not have much contact with her, and Kal'tsit and Amiya also intentionally or unintentionally kept their distance from her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sad?" Qi Yan grasped Qi Lin's small fist, which was about to follow up, and asked Theresa with a smile.

“They have their own considerations.” Theresa shook her head. “I made the choice to go against their wishes. Just as the Doctor has been thinking about my plan all along, they are also worried that if they rashly contact me, they will be influenced by their memories of me.”

"You can take the initiative, just like you did with W."

"No, I'd rather not. My plan is to keep them away from me." Theresa smiled. "I'm already very content to be able to travel with everyone again. I've had a great time along the way, but separation is always unavoidable."

"Say more, I love to hear it."

Theresa was somewhat confused.

Qi Lin continued to act as the translator:

"This is one of his metaphysical theories called 'planting a flag.' The more you say things like this, the further you will stray from your goal."

"It's a new theory I've never heard of before."

Theresa seemed perpetually curious about these novelties: "Could you explain it to me in detail?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan immediately became interested: "So-called metaphysics..."

While Qi Yan was enthusiastically trying to persuade Theresa, the Doctor wasn't idle either.

With Logos gone, the task of finding nearby magical fluctuations fell to Amiya.

Noticing that Amiya seemed a little tense, the Doctor gently comforted her:

"Don't be nervous, we still have time."

“Doctor, I’m not nervous about these things.” Amiya didn’t try to hide her emotions. “I just still don’t know why Miss Theresa made these decisions. When we find Salus’s location, that will be the time for us to confront Miss Theresa.”

But please rest assured, Doctor, I will no longer hesitate. I trust Mr. Qi Yan and you, and I will face all the answers together with you.

As she spoke, Amiya's gaze sharpened.

She finally caught a glimpse of a hidden magical fluctuation.

"They're right in front of us!"

"White-haired dog, keep an eye on Theresa."

The doctor turned to the group behind him and gave them instructions, then waved to signal the others to move forward as quickly as possible.

The team quickly overcame the obstacle in front of them, and the road under their feet gradually climbed up to a low hillside.

Amiya tilted her head back, carefully considered the scene for a moment, and then raised her hand towards the calm and unremarkable hillside in front of her.

Black magical light danced at her fingertips, transforming into beams of light that flew toward the mountain ridge.

But as soon as the beam of light reached mid-air, it seemed to hit some invisible wall and disintegrated into starlight.

The scene before everyone's eyes began to ripple, revealing the true face below.

A huge cave was revealed, with an eerie red light emanating from its entrance. Numerous Originium crystal clusters were clustered there, and many of them were even emitting light.

"These Originium activities are on the verge of exploding, it seems that Salus's plan has reached a critical moment."

The doctor instructed the group, "Put on your protective gear and move forward."

W toyed with the bomb in his hand, somewhat dismissively saying:

"Why don't you just let me drop a bomb and blow this cave down, burying all the Salus and Sachs inside?"

We don't recommend doing this.

Familiar laughter echoed from inside the cave.

The shapeshifter slowly stepped forward, blocking the group's path: "Leave two behind, consider it toll."

The doctor had a headache and waved his hand, preparing to send Thorn and Mountain out of the ranks.

"Please let us choose ourselves, okay?"

While verbally asking questions, the shapeshifter's actions showed no inclination to do so.

He pointed directly at Shuiyue in the group: "Our gaming buddy, are you ready to break the record?"

Shuiyue: "..."

He felt that blatantly slacking off at a time like this was inappropriate, so he tentatively turned to look at the professor.

But the doctor didn't pay attention to him; his gaze wandered among the ranks.

"The second person is Miss Mudrock."

"The second person is Niyan."

The Transformer's voice almost perfectly overlapped with the Doctor's.

"It seems we've been seen through, Your Highness."

The shapeshifter shrugged regretfully at Theresa.

"It's alright," Theresa replied calmly.

The Rhodes Island team looked at the Doctor, waiting for him to come up with a solution.

To everyone's surprise, the doctor chuckled and waved his hand dismissively:

"We have no choice."

Shuiyue and Niyan exchanged a glance, and finally obediently stepped out of the line.

The shapeshifter kept his word and stepped aside, walking to the side of the two, quietly watching the doctor lead the group into the cave.

As the figures of the others disappeared into the cave, Niyan suddenly sensed something and bent down to place his palm on the ground.

"...I see, I couldn't feel the earth inside the cave."

Mudrock suddenly realized, "This cave was created by the Shapeshifter, so you must leave me here to prevent my power from affecting your plans."

"Congratulations, you answered correctly, but unfortunately there's no reward."

The shapeshifter gently clasped his hands together in front of him, and the cave immediately began to twist and deform, eventually turning into a single, intact stone.

(Today is Father's Day. Although some fathers might not remember this day, they will definitely be happy if you send them your blessings!)

Chapter 770 All plans are ostensibly for protection.

The mudstone hand remained pressed against the ground.

She strives to connect with her soil friends, constantly expanding her range of perception.

"You split up Rhodes Island's team."

Mudrock successfully located everyone's positions and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they hadn't been buried alive.

"Please don't make a move," the shapeshifter warned. "Otherwise, we'll get serious and try to restrain Qi Yan so that His Highness can leave."

"……Um."

Mudstone was silent for a moment, then finally raised his hand, stood up, and waited for the result.

Shuiyue squatted on the ground and took out her game console to play with it.

Since there's no way to resist, why not just start enjoying it?

Just as Shuiyue was preparing to run the BOSS mechanics in the game, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Not all bosses are mindless attackers. There are always some bosses with special mechanics, and if these mechanics are used properly, they can become defensive mechanisms for the protagonist."

Shuiyue turned to look at the shapeshifter and said confidently, "It seems that Miss Theresa is a boss with this kind of mechanism."

"You figured it out?" the shapeshifter said with a smile.

"No wonder the doctor didn't choose to resist just now."

Shuiyue looked down at the game console again and found that her character had been killed instantly due to his momentary negligence, triggering the mechanism.

The shapeshifter immediately crouched down, snatched the game console, and began resurrecting and exploring the map, exclaiming in admiration:

"We were also surprised that the doctor was able to react so quickly and make the right choice."

After all, who could have imagined that His Highness's plan, from beginning to end, was to protect Rhodes Island?

The 'First Originium,' Anana, is not something anyone can come into contact with; the slightest mistake could lead to a tragedy from which there is no return.

"Qi Yan will protect everyone," Ni Yan said from the side.

“Of course, he will do it.” The shapeshifter looked up at the mudstone and said seriously, “But what will be the price?”

Ah Nan is the essence of this land. When Qi Yan begins to fight against this land, what will he lose?

A look of worry appeared on Niyan's face.

The shapeshifter reassured them at the right moment: "So, you shouldn't try to resist. This is also a way to protect Qi Yan."

"you are dead."

Shuiyue suddenly spoke up to remind her.

The shapeshifter looked down and realized it had made the same fatal mistake as Shuiyue. As it looked up to speak, the game character crashed headfirst into the BOSS's arms and died instantly.

In the narrow passage, Qi Yan stared at a piece of active Originium on the verge of exploding, drooling.

Beside him, Qi Lin and Theresa brushed off the dust that had settled on their clothes.

“Everyone is separated,” Qi Lin said, shaking her skirt. “But I can smell their scent. Should I go and look for them?”

Qi Yan did not answer. Unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed the active source stone from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
