Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

see:"……"

The ambiance has returned, but the atmosphere inside the room is difficult to restore in a short time.

Qi, the culprit, was completely unaware of the situation. He pulled his younger sister into a corner of the room and whispered to her to cheer her up.

The Grand Tutor pursed his lips, forcefully steer the conversation back on track:

"Wang, do you know your crime?"

"What crime have I committed?" Wang asked rhetorically.

The Grand Tutor, as if reciting a familiar story, meticulously listed Wang's series of actions:

"You should have imprisoned yourself in the capital prison, but you have now escaped and stirred up trouble in Shangshu. You have set up this scheme to lure Qi Yan and the three sisters of Nianxi to meet, and you have also used this opportunity to bring out Sui Xiang, which poses a great threat to the safety of Shangshu."

Faced with the Grand Tutor's accusations, Wang calmly retorted:

"According to the agreement made back then, I would play chess with the Great Yan, and for every game I lost, I would imprison myself for sixty years. Now, no one in the Great Yan can beat me anymore. Once the time is up, I will leave the capital as agreed. So how can there be any talk of escaping from prison?"

As for Shang Shu and the wine cup I'm staying in, wasn't it an internal decision of your Great Yan to bring the wine cup here?

As for that Sui Xiang, since you're standing here leisurely dealing with me, you must have realized that Sui Xiang poses no threat to my younger sister.

So, what crime have I committed?

The Grand Tutor nodded and actually stepped aside.

Upon seeing this, Liang Xun and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.

Just as Liang Xun was pondering the Grand Tutor's intentions, Wang suddenly turned his gaze to him:

"Lord Liang, I have some questions for you."

Liang Xun paused for a moment, then turned to look at the Grand Tutor, awaiting instructions.

The Grand Tutor nodded silently, indicating that Liang Xun could do as he pleased.

"Please speak," Liang Xun said cautiously.

“Lord Liang, I heard your words of pleading for the people in the illusion just now.”

Wang stared at Liang Xun from the shadows, his tone tinged with accusation: "You said that the Great Yan should not treat us this way, and that you are willing to use your position as the Prefect of Shangshu to plead for the people. Do you know what your words represent?"

Liang Xun was completely bewildered, utterly baffled by Wang's questioning tone.

I'm speaking up for you, why are you getting so worked up?

"What do you mean by those words, Mr. Wang?" Liang Xun countered.

“Lord Liang, your intentions are good, but your vision is still a bit limited, confined to the area of ​​Shangshu.”

As if possessed, Wang uttered a shocking statement: "In the north of Great Yan, there are foreign evil spirits, and in the south, there are seas. Both are calamities that will lead to the destruction of nations and the extermination of races. If we are not careful, they may even bring disaster to this land."

In this situation, with the threat of the giant beast still lurking within the Great Yan territory, do you think the Si Sui Terrace should prioritize resolving the giant beast problem?

Liang Xun: "..."

He was really confused.

Just as Liang Xun was at a loss for words, the Grand Tutor finally spoke:

"To repel external aggression, we must first pacify internal strife. The decision made by the Si Sui Tai has never been wrong, but... Prefect Liang's concern for Shang Shu and his dedication to the country and its people are equally valid."

This matter is none of your business. I will judge Prefect Liang's merits and demerits after this is over.

Wang chuckled: "You see, in your eyes, there is only right and wrong. Whether it's me or Lord Liang, I have never thought about who is right and who is wrong. It's just an ordinary conversation."

"If you don't distinguish between right and wrong, then what do you want to distinguish?" the Grand Tutor pressed.

"When our attention is focused on a dispute between two people, there's nothing to say about determining who is right and who is wrong."

Looking directly at the Grand Tutor from the shadows, Wang said, "But if our gaze falls on a city, a country, on this land, can we still distinguish right from wrong? Will it still matter?"

The Grand Tutor's hands, which were behind his back, tightened slightly.

He said in a deep voice, "Perhaps you should learn to speak like Qi Yan."

Qi Yan, who was suddenly pointed out: ?

“At least for now, we can’t learn it. Forcing an imitation will only result in a poor imitation.” Wang still smiled. “No rush. Qi Yan and I have plenty of time. The Grand Tutor doesn’t need to worry about this.”

A shadow fell over the Grand Tutor's eyes.

"Wait, I have a question."

Qi Yan suddenly raised his hand from the corner and asked, "Lao Wang, how long has it taken you to learn chess?"

Wang, not understanding, mumbled, "Probably a few hundred years ago."

"Oh, then you'd better hurry, you probably don't have much time left," Qi Yan said with pity.

see:???????

This time, Wang was completely bewildered.

He, a fragment of a colossal beast, didn't even have a few hundred years left?

This is almost like an ordinary person suddenly finding out they have cancer and don't have more than a few months to live.

He wasn't afraid of death, but being sentenced to death so inexplicably left him with an indescribable sense of frustration.

"Pfft-"

The Grand Tutor couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wang: "...What are you laughing at?"

The Grand Tutor coughed twice, forcibly salvaging his public image:

"During this trip to Shangshu, I discovered that the Great Yan has officials like Prefect Liang and Vice Minister Ning serving in the court, as well as a chivalrous master like Master Shen living in seclusion among the common people. I smile at the prosperity of the Great Yan."

After a moment of silence, Wang suddenly overturned the chessboard:

"It's boring. Let's go."

With that said, he stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait, you can't leave yet!"

Wu You, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up and strode up to Wang.

"What do you want?" Wang asked, puzzled.

It's one thing for him to argue and quarrel with high-ranking officials like Grand Tutor Liang Xun, but now even a commoner has to come and provoke him.

Just as Wang was trying to regain some face from Wu You, Qi Yan cleared his throat:

"my people."

Wang: "...Just say what you want to say."

Chapter 866 Kennedy: Bro, can you send me the parameters?

Wu You looked at Wang, whose body was half-hidden in the shadows, and unconsciously clenched his fists at his sides.

The hatred that had been exposed by the Rat King at Gray Mountain surged back into Wu You's heart.

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart over his master's death and questioned him in a hateful voice:

"Why would someone of your caliber involve my master in your scheme?"

"Your master? Who is that?"

I find this somewhat inexplicable.

Wu Yi said, word by word, "Gouwu City, Lian Zixu!"

“…Hmm, I know about Gouwu City, but why do you think I would set my sights on a mere mortal?” Wang asked rhetorically.

Faced with Wang's contemptuous attitude, Wu You's breath trembled slightly, yet he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you saying that my master was framed and killed by villains, and it has nothing to do with you?"

Wang slightly raised his head, as if reviewing all his tactics.

After a moment, he said calmly, "If you say it exists, then it exists."

"What do you mean?!" Wu You roared in anger.

“There are indeed methods I left behind in Gouwu City,” Wang said frankly. “After all, my sister lives nearby.”

Wu You's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were beginning to show crimson blood vessels.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "I only want to ask you, did you kill my master?"

Wang looked at Wuyou with a hint of pity, and even let out a soft laugh:

“I said, if that’s what you think, then it is.”

"You're arguing so bitterly, trying to get an answer from me, isn't it just because you're afraid?"

"If you don't dare to face me, why do you come to ask me for an answer?" Wang sneered. "Qi Yan can give you the courage to stand in front of me, but you can't digest that courage to bare your fangs at an enemy you can't fight."

Young man, the anger and hatred in your heart cannot be extinguished by killing. Once you have overcome the iron fence in your heart and completed the long and confusing journey in your mind, I can give you a chance to stand before me again and ask the question I asked today once more.

I will give you an answer then.

Wu You gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly, wishing he could rush forward and beat the person in front of him to death with each punch.

But he didn't make any move.

Footsteps approached from behind him, and a hand landed on his shoulder.

Qi Yan calmly said, "Wu You, don't let his words torment you. If you're unhappy, I'll beat him to a pulp right now and kill him yourself."

see:"……"

Qi Yan didn't stop and continued, "You don't need to worry about not getting enough satisfaction from killing once. This second brother of the Sui family lacks everything, but he doesn't lack clones."

To complete his scheme, he's meticulously prepared himself, ensuring you'll be able to fight until all the anger and resentment in your heart completely dissipates.

see:"…………"

Qi Yan continued, "You don't need to worry about what I just said. If I, Qi Xiaobai, don't contradict myself a couple of times a day, I feel uncomfortable all over."

I can say that the second oldest will face a great calamity in the future, or I can say that the second oldest's calamity is today.

see:"………………"

He desperately wanted to escape, but knew he couldn't.

Everyone in the room turned their attention to Wu You, each with their own thoughts.

Some pondered Wu You's background, some speculated about Wu You's decision, some lamented that Wu You had latched onto Qi Yan's coattails, and some felt pity for Wu You's current suffering...

Only Qi Yan had already started warming up on the spot, striking a standard head-shaking and punching stance, his head swaying from side to side almost leaving afterimages, making Kennedy feel envious.

Wang's lips twitched a few times, and he was so frightened by Qi Yan's imposing manner that he took two steps back.

"Qi Yan, there's no need to shake anymore."

Wu You raised his hand and put it on Qi Yan's shoulder to stop his funny actions.

Qi Yan stopped moving, staggered, and quickly grabbed Wu You's shoulder to steady himself.

"How so?" he asked, his head still but his eyes still darting around.

Wu You: "...I'm really not ready yet. Let's wait for Mr. Lin's news."

Qi Yan nodded, suppressing the urge to vomit, and quickly turned to seek help from his younger sister.

Qi Lin, with a blank expression, stepped forward and took Qi Yan away, leading him back to a corner and conjuring a piece of ice crystal, which she then gently rubbed against Qi Yan's forehead.

Seeing this, he quickly turned around and prepared to slip away, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the Grand Tutor was about to step forward again.

"Wait!" Before the Grand Tutor could speak, he immediately put on a show of brotherly and sisterly respect, "Grand Tutor, do you know why Nian took the initiative to come and find Qi Yan?"

"This wasn't your arrangement?" The Grand Tutor was taken aback.

"No, it's just that Nian's actions coincided with my own, so I let it go."

Wang spoke faster: "But do you know what Nian is secretly plotting?"

"She wants to unite with us brothers and sisters, and then, with the help of Qi Yan, seize the initiative before the Sui Beast awakens and kill it directly."

"...like a terrible idea she could come up with."
