Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

But when the crimson gold was only half an inch away from his head, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

There's something strange about this red gold!

The next second, it won't be a question of whether he's nervous or not.

Qi Yan's hand, pressing down on his body, seemed to symbolize the will of heaven and earth, leaving him no room to resist. The crimson gold that was in close contact with his body was even more outrageous, not harming the body in the slightest, and its power was entirely transmitted to the consciousness residing in the body.

"wait……"

As the fourth strike was about to come, 'Midnight's' expression twisted slightly, and it exerted its strength suddenly... but failed to move.

All the people saw was 'Midnight' kick its legs under Qi Yan's hand, take four blows, and then fall silent.

"Qi Yan, you didn't accidentally kill someone, did you?"

As someone who had experienced the events involving Talulah and Koschke, Chen knew that the girl could still be saved in this situation.

Qi Yan didn't turn around. He put away the crimson gold and reached out to pat the face of Ye Ban, who had fallen into a coma.

It has a bouncy, delicate, and smooth feel.

"Don't worry, I've already kicked Sui Lao Er out." Qi Yan straightened up and said regretfully, "It's a pity that Sui Lao Er didn't hold on, otherwise I would have had to enter Ye Ban's body to expel him."

List:"……"

What are you regretting?

She was about to step forward and pull Qi Yan away to prevent his groping hands from continuing to ravage the little girl when she suddenly noticed something moving under the little girl's clothes.

"That's... a wine cup?"

To Chen's astonishment, a cracked black wine cup rolled out of Ye Ban's arms.

The others also instinctively stepped forward.

Nian quickly reminded him, "Be careful, my second brother isn't completely dead yet."

Everyone immediately stopped.

The cracked wine cup: "..."

The next second, the wine cup cracked open automatically without anyone having to do it.

At the mountaintop, everyone felt an indescribable power flowing through them. Enveloped by this power, an irresistible weariness washed over them.

"Qi Yan, I have no ill intentions towards you."

Old Carp suddenly spoke, his tone completely changing.

Qi Yan turned around leisurely, looked at 'Old Carp' and smiled, "I have no ill intentions towards you."

'Old Carp' chuckled softly, showing no resentment whatsoever:

"So it seems I made some wrong decisions and touched a nerve with you. I apologize to you and this girl."

"To show hospitality for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief."

Qi Yan slowly walked towards 'Old Carp': "Tell me, what are your plans in going to such lengths to include me in your scheme?"

As the two were talking, the people on the mountaintop were already swaying and unable to maintain their posture due to the weariness.

Du Yaoye and Chen, these young people, were the first to reach their limit, struggling and collapsing, their figures swaying and disappearing from the mountaintop.

Following closely behind, Taihe and Zheng Qingyue, among other elders, also fell ill and died.

In the blink of an eye, only Qi Yan and the three siblings of the Sui family remained on the mountaintop.

'Old Carp' glanced at the New Year's Eve sisters, then turned to look down the mountain.

A bolt of azure lightning descended from below, heading straight for the mountaintop with an invincible aura.

Before Bai Tianshi could land, "Old Carp" waved his hand and transferred the blue lightning he had transformed into to nothingness. The remaining power continued to spread down the mountain, carrying Ning Ciqiu and Master Shen, who were traveling on the mountainside, with it.

After doing all this, 'Old Carp' stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed, showing no trace of the humiliation he had just suffered from being beaten up by Qi Yan.

"I don't have the guts or the qualifications to scheme against you, Qi Yan."

'Old Carp' readily admitted defeat: 'My arrangement has always been that of this fellow being beside you. I foresaw His return home and am willing to do what I can to help Him reunite with that fellow being who has already departed.'

"They've already left?" Qi Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the man who fought alongside you back then is no longer within the territory of Yan Kingdom."

'Old Carp' glanced at the air beside Qi Yan.

As part of the Year Beast, he could naturally see through Qi's shield and see Qi's true form.

'Old Carp' smiled and continued:

"However, I also devised some methods to bring Him back to the northern border of Yan Kingdom, together with another poor soul who had entered the game."

If nothing unexpected happens, my family in Yumen is going to have a headache, since besides the two fellow humans who have come knocking, there's also an oddity from Ursus.

"Wow, are we going to play mahjong in Yumen?" Qi Yan chuckled. "What, are you trying to lure me to Yumen?"

"When people say this, it usually means they've already done it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had buried the hatchet with a smile.

But the next second, Qi Yan's smile vanished:

"But I'm a rebellious person. The more you tempt me, the less I'll go. Next, I'll go to the Great Wilderness City and kidnap your farmer. What are you going to do about it then?"

'Old Carp's' smile remained unchanged.

Qi Yan: "..."

He took a deep breath, pointed at 'Old Carp', and threatened:

"You're finished! Don't you dare run away! I'm telling you, I'm going back to Rhodes Island right now and calling some idiot over here!"

"You dare try to outsmart me? Don't you know I have an external brain?"

"Qi Yan, I never intended to scheme against you."

With unprecedented sincerity, 'Old Carp' said, "Unlike those humans, I am well aware of the gap between you and us. I am not afraid of death, but I do not want to die because of offending you."

What you have done is of great benefit to me, so I will only cooperate with you wholeheartedly and will never turn against you.

Faced with 'Old Carp's' candor, Qi Yan felt a bit overwhelmed.

Even Nian and Xi looked at each other in bewilderment, seeing their stubborn second brother act this way for the first time.

Even when facing her elder brother, Wang would never speak in such a subservient manner.

"Wait a minute, something's not right!" Qi Yan suddenly looked like he had just realized something. "I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense. I'm doing business in Yan Kingdom, and my loyalty to Yan Kingdom is as clear as day. How could I possibly associate with a traitor like you?"

You want to lure me to the opposite side of Yan, don't you?"

'Old Carp': "..."

His earnest expression began to show signs of breaking down.

He just couldn't understand why Qi Yan's thought process was so peculiar. He was almost ready to kneel down and hug Qi Yan's leg, begging for help, but Qi Yan inexplicably became suspicious here.

And isn't it said that Qi Yan has a collecting obsession?

Isn't he, as one of the agents of the Year Beast, special enough in this land?

That's not right. It seems like Qi Yan really likes his younger sisters.

So what exactly are the conditions for Qi Yan's inclusion?

'Old Carp' took a deep breath, and seeing that this approach wouldn't work, immediately calmed himself down and changed his strategy:

"Alright, let's play a game of chess and witness each other's true intentions on the board... You've already opened the gift I prepared for you, so how you deal with these next few small gifts is up to you."

"That's more like it." Qi Yan smiled again. "Where's the gift?"

"Go find it yourself."

With a hint of resentment, 'Old Carp' uttered a remark, turned around, and vanished from the spot in an instant.

As he disappeared, a mountaintop above the summit, which should not have existed in the world, was suddenly revealed to the world by his power.

On the mountaintop, the three people who were observing were immediately exposed.

Looking up, Nian immediately spotted Ling and hurriedly asked for help:

"Big sister, come and do something to Second Brother! He's definitely going to get a beating for doing this!"

Ling blinked, not understanding why her second brother would take the door to her little house with him when he was leaving on his own.

She waved her cane, and with the two beside her, they floated down to the mountaintop.

Then she picked up the wine jug, took a slow sip, and muttered:

"He broke down my door without a second thought, I think he deserved to be beaten up."

Chapter 861 Let's each go our own way

Old Carp shook his head, surprised to find that he had been transported from the mountaintop to an antique and exquisite room in a daze.

"What happened? Where am I?"

The old carp looked around and found that all his companions had disappeared, leaving only himself.

"Liang Xun? Qi Yan? Miss Nian?"

Faced with this strange situation, Old Carp dared not act rashly and furtively called out to his surroundings.

But in the empty room, there was no response from anyone else, not even from Lao Li himself.

This situation made Lao Li gasp in surprise.

"What kind of situation is this? Climbing a mountain in a dream is one thing, and now it's happening again. Is this another dream too?"

Old Carp scratched his face. Faced with the battle of these immortals, he, a mere mortal, was truly powerless to resist.

"more or less."

A man's voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Old Carp was startled and, upon closer inspection, felt a chill run down his spine.

He discovered that the speaker's voice was exactly the same as his own; the only difference between them was their tone of voice.

"Who are you?" Old Carp looked behind the screen inside the room, following the voice.

“You should have guessed it already,” Wang replied.

Old Carp licked his lips. After a brief internal struggle, he decided to walk past the screen and face the other party directly.

The screen blocked out the light, making the already dim room even darker. A table, a chessboard, and a person whose face was obscured by shadows made up everything behind the screen.

Even if the other person's appearance is not clear, how could Lao Li not recognize himself?

That person was clearly another version of myself!

"Please sit down," Wang invited.

Old Carp hesitated for a moment, but eventually took his seat without hesitation.

It is obviously unwise to rashly provoke the other party. While the other party seems relatively calm, it is better to delay as much as possible.

Seeing Lao Li's cooperation, Wang's mood improved noticeably.

"Sir, do you need something from me?" Old Carp asked tentatively.

Wang said calmly, "I thought you would ask me other things first, such as why I used your image."

"We've used it, but we wouldn't dare charge you for your image," Old Li chuckled. "But since you've brought it up, could you perhaps clear things up for me?"

"You are useful to me." I hope you will give a straightforward answer.

"What's the use?"

"Your body, your identity, your bloodline."

Old Carp: "..."

Sometimes, he felt that the other person didn't need to be so direct.

For the first time, he missed those convoluted and tedious sales pitches he used to hate when negotiating business deals.

"We're all from Yan, so let's be a little more subtle in our speech," Old Li said with an awkward, dry laugh.
