Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Qi Yan forcibly hugged Jing and began to frantically rub the little head that looked exactly like Qi Lin's, until the two snow-white wolf ears swayed and left afterimages.

Jing was completely bewildered, her vision blurred from being rubbed so much that she forgot to resist for a moment.

Qi Lin let out a low groan, her cheeks flushing crimson.

She could clearly feel Qi Yan's hand rubbing her head as if it were his.

Seeing that Qi Yan had moved on to the next stage, he cupped Qi Lin's face in his hands and started pecking at her face like a chicken. Qi Lin was hit hard, and she covered her forehead and staggered.

"You... that's enough!"

Seeing that in the moment she lost her focus, Qi Yan had already moved on to the next stage, burying his face in 'his' hair and sucking wildly, Qi Lin immediately forced herself to rush forward and kicked Qi Yan, sending him tumbling over.

Qi Yan lay on the ground, a hint of reminiscence still on his face:

"Not only can I get to suck up to my little sister, but I can also experience the feeling of being kicked by her at the same time. She's not an enemy, she's my treasure!"

Qi Lin gritted her teeth in anger. Seeing that the mirror image of herself was still in a daze, she became angrier and angrier, and kicked it as well.

Before Jing could recover from Qi Yan's abuse, she was kicked again and fell to the ground with a low cry.

Qi Lin tripped and fell, lying on the ground clutching her waist and gasping for breath in pain.

The Grand Tutor stared dumbfounded at the three people lying on the ground before him, feeling as if he were falling behind.

"Holy crap, you dare hurt my sister? You're finished!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Yan scrambled to his feet, pointed at the mirror, and said fiercely, "I'm going to punish you severely!"

Having said that, he pounced on the mirror like a hungry tiger.

At the critical moment, Qi Lin rushed over and forcibly dragged Jing away, causing Qi Yan to miss his target. Then, she grabbed Jing's shoulders with both hands, mustered all her strength, and swung her in a perfect circular arc, sending Jing flying directly into the sky.

But as the mirror flew away, Qi Lin herself was also inexplicably affected by a force, falling forward uncontrollably and landing precisely in Qi Yan's arms.

The brother and sister's eyes met, and Qi Yan's smile gradually became uncontrollable, as if it were about to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

"Can you stop messing around?" Qi Lin punched Qi Yan in the chest in embarrassment and annoyance.

Qi Yan winced in pain, rubbing his chest as he released Qi Lin.

In the distance, the Witch King and Ling arrived, Ling still holding the mirror in his arms.

Before the witch king's ghost arrived, the clamor preceded it:

"What's going on? I just got here and saw Qi Lin fly out... Huh?"

His shouts, upon seeing another Qi Lin on the scene, were all condensed into a special symbol of a race.

A human and a ghost descended from the sky, bewildered. They looked at Qi Lin, then at the other Qi Lin in their arms.

Ling suddenly realized what was happening and threw Qi Lin out of his arms.

Qi Lin wanted to warn him, but it was too late. She stumbled again and fell back into Qi Yan's arms.

Qi Yan hugged his younger sister, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

How come Qi Lin always manages to fall precisely into his arms?

Qi Lin, her face stiff, broke free from Qi Yan's embrace and turned her face away, reminding him:

"That guy is too much trouble, he's always getting in my way, I need to get rid of him quickly."

Qi Yan didn't say much, and turned to look at Jing, who was dizzy as she got up from the ground.

"Tell me, what exactly is your purpose in making all this fuss?"

Qi Yan revealed a serious expression: "It seems that even I was fooled by your performance. You are not just blindly imitating; in fact, you have your own thoughts and purposes."

Jing tidied her slightly messy hair, remained noncommittal, and turned to look into the distance.

A pair of dazzling golden wolf eyes locked onto him, the anger in them even more intense than before, yet he refrained from making a move.

Jing raised his arm, making a grasping motion in the air towards the countless fragments of himself scattered across the sky.

The countless shards of mirror suddenly found their center and streaked across the sky above the twin cities.

The streaks of light trailed long streaks of light, bringing a dazzling meteor shower to everyone in the twin cities.

But no one present was in the mood to appreciate this strange sight.

"Qi Yan, your actions just now caught me off guard, but I can tell you actually have some reservations."

Jing took a breath, seemingly still haunted by what she had just experienced. "My kind, who was named by mortals, is also like that, and even the scattered fragments of the same kind in these two cities are too. You always have this or that kind of concerns."

The mirror arm slowly descended, directing a shower of meteors to fall on the other side of the twin cities, the points of light gathering together according to its will.

Another white wolf, its wingspan obscuring the sky, appeared in everyone's sight.

Qi, separated by two cities, gazed at another version of himself reflected in the mirror. Their two pairs of golden, sun-like wolf eyes shone brightly, making the sky pale in comparison.

“Now, Qi is completely afraid to make a move,” Jing said calmly. “These two cities cannot withstand the aftershocks of our life-or-death struggle.”

"If He hadn't relinquished His ridiculous feelings for mortals and abandoned these two mortal cities, He wouldn't have had the chance to kill me."

“Qi Yan, there’s no need to pay attention to His nonsense.”

Seeing that the situation had finally returned to what he could understand, the Grand Tutor immediately stepped forward to make his presence known: "Yumen is no ordinary mobile city-state; it can withstand this!"

Qi Yan chuckled and said, "Yumen can withstand it, but you haven't mentioned a word about the people in Yumen and Longmen."

The Grand Tutor's expression darkened slightly, but he remained resolute in his decision:

"There are safe havens in both cities; we must not allow the other side to coerce us."

"Save your determination for later."

Qi Yan waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to the Grand Tutor.

He continued, speaking into the mirror, "You've gone to great lengths; you couldn't have just been trying to create this dilemma. Don't test my patience. I'll ask you one last time: what is your purpose?"

Jing looked up at Qi and replied:

“I originally came just to find Him, but I met you. You are so special. When I vaguely saw your shadow, I felt a tremor I had never felt before.”

It was a fear from the depths of my soul that captivated me, making me want to see more.

Qi Yan nodded: "A mouse licking a cat's pussy, looking for trouble?"

“Heh, an interesting description.” Jing was not annoyed at all. “I’ve glimpsed your traces in the memories of some people in these two cities. You must have come into contact with many of our kind, and many people may even think that you are one of us.”

"So you're saying you're not afraid of death?" Qi Yan blurted out.

"My mirror reflects far too much fear of death."

"Oh, that's awesome!"

Jing was clearly starting to feel confused.

He asked in bewilderment, “Based on the clues I’ve gleaned about you, you cherish Qi Lin very much, so why don’t you seem angry?”

"I'm angry! Look, I'm so angry my hair has turned black." Qi Yan raised her hand and ruffled her hair a couple of times.

Chapter 923 You want it? I won't give it to you!

Jing fell silent.

He was momentarily confused, and all the words he had prepared in his mind vanished into thin air.

According to His reasoning, at this moment, Qi Yan would either fly into a rage and use his methods to kill Him, or he would hesitate and try to appease Him to get through this difficult time.

As a result, Qi Yan, faced with the choice between taking action and yielding, inexplicably chose to go berserk on the spot.

Jing, whose reaction speed was already slower than that of ordinary people and even those of his kind, finally made a step forward after a long journey.

He explained to Qi Yan earnestly:

"You know, I can't see you. I can only vaguely sense that you're here, so I don't actually know what color your hair is."

"That's a real shame," Qi Yan remarked.

"I don't know what I regret. For you and me, appearance and even life are just conditions."

Jing stepped forward: "All I want is to feel you more, just like you did with my substitute body. Come on, let me know you more, let me 'see' you more!"

Qi Yan couldn't help but frown, resting his chin on his hand and falling silent.

The Witch King and Ling and the others looked at the silent Qi Yan with somewhat solemn expressions.

Just when everyone thought Qi Yan was in trouble, they suddenly heard Qi Yan mutter to himself:

"The most adorable power is definitely on Qi Lin. Why do all these things I encounter become obsessed with me as soon as they see me? The black snake is the same, this thing is the same, and even the skeletal behemoth has this tendency."

Could it be that I, Qi Xiaobai, am born with the body of a succubus?

Everyone: "..."

Seeing that Qi Yan was still acting crazy, the Witch King couldn't help but urge him on:

"Let's hurry up and think of a way to get rid of him. If we drag this out any longer, even if the two big white figures standing on either side of the city don't actually do anything, the residual power of their authority will make the people in the city catch a cold."

Grand Tutor of the Reiwa Era: "..."

Your focus is a bit off, isn't it?

"Big White, come back first."

Qi Yan waved to the sky.

Qi hesitated for a moment, then chose to relinquish his power. His overwhelming figure dissipated and returned to Qi Yan's side as a gentle breeze.

Qi Yan reached out and gently stroked Qi's soft fur, smiling as she said:

"Since this guy wants to know more about me, I might as well give him a chance."

"If I were to seize Him and refine Him instantly, would you feel any better?"

"Don't hurt Qi Lin."

Qi said something, turned to look at Qi Lin, nodded, and then his figure vanished.

This was Qi Lin's first real meeting with Qi, and the familiar feeling from their bloodline made her somewhat lost in thought.

But the other party didn't give her a chance to speak and disappeared again.

"The blood feud is still hard to let go," Qi Yan sighed.

He knew in his heart that Qi's choice was a retreat out of necessity. He knew that he was not capable of dealing with Jing without harming Qi Lin, and was forced to hand it over to Qi Yan to handle.

To help Qi completely overcome his inner hurdle, the dust must be settled on Jing.

A piece of pure gold appeared in Qi Yan's palm.

"Can you see it?" Qi Yan asked.

"Like you, I can only vaguely sense its existence."

"what about now?"

Qi Yan raised the crimson gold and pressed it against Jing's forehead, then exerted force in his hand to directly inject the crimson gold into Jing's body.

The pupils of Qi Lin, as seen in the mirror, suddenly contracted to a single point.

His expression gradually distorted, and his body began to transform uncontrollably, gradually changing from Qi Lin's appearance to the appearance of other people.

Everyone looked at Qi Lin nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they found that she was unharmed.

"This is also...your power..."

The mirror's appearance kept changing, flashing by like slides of men, women, and children he had once imitated: "You are manipulating time within me... no, not just time... your power is causing my authority to begin to rewind..."

Surprised, Jing's expression showed some pain, but mostly excitement.

He sensed the threat of death, but also something more; He felt himself coming into contact with a power beyond this world.

"You seem very excited."

Qi Yan smiled slightly, brought his face close to the mirror, and once again touched the mirror's brow with his fingertip.

The mirror began to tremble.

He could feel an indescribable will domineeringly invading the depths of His soul; even a casual sweep of it filled Him with involuntary fear.

"This power... this is not a power that should exist on this land..."
