Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"You...you're in this state, why would they still let you participate in the battle?"

Amiya felt a pang of heartache, but also a surge of anger.

The little girl looked up, her expression puzzled.

Amiya then realized that the little girl in front of her was probably not a member of the Reunion Movement.

She wasn't wearing a Reunion Movement uniform, nor was she wearing a mask.

This is an ordinary person from a slum.

Chapter 079 Rhodes Island Out of Control

"Why are people from Lungmen also involved in the Reunion Movement?"

Amiya was momentarily lost in thought.

She looked up and took a closer look at the crowd in the underpass for the first time.

Among the uniforms of the Reunion Movement were quite a few ordinary people, each with a look of panic on their faces, not at the Reunion Movement, but at... some kind of being on the ground.

Amiya's heart was racing; she didn't know if it was from fear or anger.

She helped the thin little girl, asking as they walked:

Why did you come here and flee with the Reunion Movement?

The little girl's expression was somewhat numb as she murmured:

"I don't know, my parents and I suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from Longmen, and we were so scared that we hid in our own home."

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly a person wearing a black raincoat appeared and killed my parents. Just as the person in the black raincoat was about to kill me, I was saved by members of the Reunion Movement.

"...Black raincoats, who exactly are they?"

Anger burned in Amiya's eyes.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from behind the underground passage.

Amiya turned her head and immediately gritted her teeth.

Those familiar black figures had also appeared in the underground passage, and were carrying out a massacre without restraint.

Whether they are members of the Reunion Movement or ordinary people from the Lungmen slums.

Blood stained large areas of the ground and walls, and even the ceiling was splattered with a large, glaring crimson.

Fear spread through the underground passage, and the retreating team became somewhat chaotic for a moment.

The sound of someone shouting echoed in the cramped space.

"Children, women, and civilians of Lungmen, retreat immediately! Reunion Movement members, pick up your weapons and hold off those people in black raincoats!"

"Run forward, don't look back, the exit from Lungmen is ahead!"

"Damn it, who has the Originium bombs? Blow up this passage!"

"No, there are still some companions who haven't arrived yet."

"Stop hesitating, we have to make a decision!"

Amiya stood frozen in place, her small body trembling slightly.

She attempted to unleash her Originium Arts to aid the Reunion Movement.

However, once the Demon King's authority was activated, the ability she considered a side effect could no longer be suppressed.

In the underground passage, surging emotions, like waves, crashed against her mind, almost engulfing her.

Until a pair of warm hands covered her head.

Qi Yan said softly, "Don't force yourself."

Amiya's face beneath the mask showed pain; she bit her lip and stubbornly said:

"I can do it, I have to stop those black raincoats."

"why?"

Amiya paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and slowly said:

"I must stop this killing."

A black magical glow appeared on Amiya.

Her gaze gradually hardened, and she raised her small, fair hand, aiming it at the figures in black raincoats in the passageway.

Longmen, the Governor's Mansion.

Led by a staff member, Kal'tsit arrived at the somewhat familiar office.

Wei Yanwu sat in the chair and raised his hand to signal:

"Please have a seat. May I ask what brings you here today, Ms. Kal'tsit?"

"On behalf of Rhodes Island, I am terminating our cooperation with Lungmen," Kal'tsit stated bluntly.

A hint of surprise flashed across Wei Yanwu's face.

"If it's because of the Chernobog ruins, I'm willing to apologize and increase the compensation Lungmen has paid in the cooperation."

Wei Yanwu did not want to lose Rhodes Island's help at this crucial moment.

In particular, the commander of Rhodes Island, even though Wei Yanwu was on the same side as the Doctor, was still taken aback by his command abilities.

Kal'tsit said expressionlessly:

“It was indeed a stupid thing for you to leave Rhodes Island in the ruins of Chernobog, but that’s not the key point. The key point is that Rhodes Island is now in a semi-out-of-control state. Your methods are being used by a madman, and no one knows how this war in Lungmen will ultimately turn out.”

Rhodes Island is withdrawing from this partnership.

The moment Wei Yanwu saw Kal'tsit, he had already imagined many possible outcomes, but this was not one of them.

He scrutinized Kal'tsit closely, trying to find some flaw in her face.

But aside from a vague sense of anger, Wei Yanwu saw nothing else.

Even that anger wasn't directed at him.

Wei Yanwu gently swayed the pipe in his hand.

“I don’t understand.” Wei Yanwu chuckled. “Longmen is already in this state, how could it possibly get any worse?”

“I have said my piece. This is not a discussion, but a notification.”

Kal'tsit stood up, turned around, and left.

Wei Yanwu's expression froze.

He was somewhat confused about what had happened at Rhodes Island.

He only picked up the communication terminal after Kal'tsit left:

"Immediately investigate Rhodes Island's intelligence, mainly focusing on Kal'tsit, the Doctor of Rhodes Island, Qi Yan... and that little girl named Amiya."

After ending the call, Wei Yanwu took a deep drag on his pipe, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

A series of light footsteps came from the back of the office.

Wei Yanwu opened his eyes and saw a woman wearing a kimono, with a single horn on her head, and a very gentle demeanor slowly walking towards him.

Wei Yanwu quickly extinguished his pipe and waved his hand to disperse the surrounding smoke.

"No need for that. I'm not going to throw you out of the house just because you smoke," the woman joked softly.

Wei Yanwu's expression was somewhat stiff as he whispered:

"Wen Yue, at least leave me a blanket, otherwise it's very cold outside."

Wen Yue glanced at him, but instead of responding directly, she changed the subject:

"Was that Ms. Kal'tsit from Rhodes Island just now?"

“Yes, I don’t know what happened to her.” Wei Yanwu rubbed his face. “The Rhodes Island Doctor is wreaking havoc in Lungmen, making even my ally feel terrified, but she suddenly proposed to terminate the cooperation, saying there’s some madman. I think she’s the one who’s going crazy.”

"She was not as calm as she appeared outwardly, and as a woman, I could tell."

Wen Yue poured herself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and said leisurely:

“I have been keeping an eye on Rhodes Island’s situation, and right now, the four pillars of Rhodes Island are indeed getting out of control.”

Wei Yanwu lowered his eyes for a moment, then immediately shamelessly pressed on, asking:

"Could you tell me why I am indeed inferior to you, Madam, in this respect?"

"Now you know to call me 'Madam'?"

Wen Yue chuckled softly, then regained her composure:

"Qi Yan and Amiya disappeared in the ruins of Chernobog. The most obvious one so far is that doctor. According to the intelligence I received, he could have fought in many places in a more prudent way, but he didn't. Instead, he commanded the troops to advance with an almost ruthless attitude."

This could be called a fighting style, but to me it seems more like venting emotions… Poor Reunion Movement.”

Wei Yanwu nodded, then shook his head:

"But I don't think that Doctor is the main culprit behind Rhodes Island's loss of control. Kal'tsit's behavior is very strange."

Yes, she was scared.

Wen Yue tapped her finger along the rim of the teacup: "Her fear stems from the two missing people."

Just as Wei Yanwu was about to speak, his personal terminal suddenly vibrated.

Without hesitation, he picked up the terminal and connected the call.

After listening to the report from the other end of the terminal, Wei Yanwu's expression changed drastically.

Chapter 080 Wei Yanwu's Unlucky Days

Black magic coalesced in the dimly lit underground passage, attacking a man in a black raincoat who was wielding a knife.

The man in the black raincoat realized that this spell was unusual and quickly stepped back.

"Don't abandon anyone, keep retreating, we'll stop these people."

Amiya, wearing a mask, stood firmly in confrontation with the men in black raincoats.

The Reunion Movement members were somewhat surprised.

The men in black raincoats also regrouped, looking at Amiya with suspicion and uncertainty.

"You guys? Aren't you the only one here?" one of them asked.

Amiya was taken aback by the question. She turned to look at her side and realized that Qi Yan had already disappeared.

Amiya's rabbit ears twitched.

She recalled that when she expressed her determination to fight against the black raincoat, Qi Yan's reply was "Go for it!"

"...No way."

Amiya's newly mustered courage suddenly began to dissipate.

She might not even be a match for a single person in a black raincoat, let alone an entire team.

"Don't be afraid, little girl, we're here with you!"

The members of Reunion suddenly gathered around Amiya, gripping their weapons and staring intently at the men in black raincoats.

In the distance, the Reunion Movement's sniper and warlock squads immediately spread out and found advantageous firing positions.

Amiya looked at this scene and suddenly felt that it was somewhat familiar.

If the uniforms of the Reunion Movement were replaced with those of Rhodes Island, what would be the difference between the two?

The black raincoats have been deployed.

Amiya quickly focused her mind and concentrated her magic once more.

The Reunion Movement members around her roared and charged at the black raincoat, only to be knocked down with a single blow.

But others rushed up to fill the gaps in the defense, keeping the black raincoat at a certain distance and giving Amiya time to cast her spell.

The underground passage seems even more chaotic now.
