Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Chongyue withdrew his gaze, still feeling confused:

"Mirror is currently on the verge of death. I can seal Him myself, but you seem to have other plans?"

Qi Yan didn't hide anything and spoke frankly and fairly in front of the mirror:

“Simply sealing it would be too easy for Him. I plan to integrate a wisp of my aura into His body and have Nian personally refine Him!”

"Then I'll trouble you, elder brother, to seal it away, so that it can clearly sense my presence within its grasp, yet never be able to touch it."

Upon hearing this, Jing, who was already somewhat distracted, twitched several times, but was truly too weak to speak.

Qi Yan glanced at Him, then summoned a piece of crimson gold and handed it to Chong Yue right in front of Him:

"Last time I promised Nian a piece of pure gold for research. When she comes back, I'll ask you to pass it on to her. I hope she can use this pure gold to properly modify the mirror and let it fully experience the feeling of being enveloped in happiness."

Jing's lips began to tremble.

Qi Yan continued, "And this guy really likes to imitate. I'm a kind person, so I'm willing to let him continue doing what he likes."

Here's a suggestion for Nian on crafting: add a killer function to the artifact that Jing forges, which is to allow it to mimic a wisp of my divine essence after activating the energy of the crimson gold.

I believe the Mirror must have felt immense satisfaction seeing its authority used by others, transformed into its favorite version of me, wreaking havoc in all directions.

The trembling of the mirror began to spread throughout its entire body.

He felt that he would rather have been slapped to death by those three slaps.

Chapter 925 First Entry into the Snowfield

At the edge of the Sami Snowfield, thick white snow spreads from the horizon, its color gradually fading until the original color of the ground is revealed.

A biting wind blew from the depths of the snowfield, carrying large snowflakes that swirled endlessly.

A ripple like water appeared, and two figures slowly emerged.

"Doctor, the Sami Snowfield is just ahead."

The skeletal markings on the back of the Extreme's hand flashed twice before slowly fading away: "As expected of a god, he traveled from Yan Kingdom back to Rhodes Island and then took you directly to the Sami Snowfield in such a short time."

The doctor did not answer, but simply looked down at the thin layer of snow at his feet.

He took out his map, compared it to the photo, and said in a deep voice:

"Even with His help, don't be careless. After all, He himself said that there are strange things in the depths of this snowfield, and even He cannot travel freely."

Moreover, something really seems wrong with this snowfield; according to the map, there shouldn't be any snow here.

"You mean the snowfield is expanding?" Extreme Realm pondered. "Could it be because spring hasn't arrived yet, and the snowfield is experiencing seasonal expansion?"

"I naturally factored in this error."

The doctor put away the map, chose a direction, and started walking directly forward.

Extreme Realm quickly followed.

The two left a trail of footprints in the snow, but the cold wind quickly smoothed them out with snowflakes.

After walking a distance, Extreme couldn't help but ask:

"Doctor, the Sami Snowfield is such a vast area, and as we go deeper, our instruments and other equipment will malfunction. How are we going to find Skadi?"

"It's very simple, just go to the deepest part, the very center of Sami, and you'll be fine."

The doctor seemed very confident: "The things that can make the white dog so nervous are not the strange things in the corners of Sammy. It must be something deeper that is causing the trouble."

"But can we really solve this?" Extreme Realm was a little unsure.

He and the doctor came here this time without inviting anyone else, except for the skeletal behemoth they were with.

The more people who come to the depths of Sami, the more trouble is likely to arise for those evil spirits.

The doctor couldn't help but turn back to look at the extreme realm, and said irritably:

"Who said we came here to deal with those things deep in Sami? We only have one objective: to find Skadi and get her out of this dangerous place as soon as possible."

Ji Jing paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Although running away is shameful, it's undeniably useful!

He was indeed somewhat frightened by Qi Yan, and only after the doctor reminded him did he realize what was happening.

The key is that Skadi must not be injured or come into contact with anything deep in the snowfield. But as long as these two accidents can be avoided, the only crisis facing this land for the time being is the sea monster in the south.

Ji Jing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Without Qi Yan by his side, he was actually a little flustered about undertaking such a great undertaking.

The doctor withdrew his gaze, quickened his pace, and braved the wind and snow. Soon, he could see the outline of a building in the white snow.

“Good, the Columbia research station shown on the map is still there.” The doctor breathed a slight sigh of relief. “There are lights on at the research station, so there should still be someone on duty. Let’s go see if we can get any clues.”

"Let me go and scout ahead first."

Extreme has not forgotten her responsibility as a vanguard operator.

But as soon as he took a step, the doctor reached out and stopped him.

"Don't be impulsive, you'd better not leave my sight," the doctor said seriously.

Extreme was somewhat moved: "Doctor, you don't need to worry about my safety. I'm confident I can protect myself on the outskirts of the snowfield."

The doctor angrily replied, "I'm worried about my own safety. If something happens to me after you leave, who will protect me?"

Extreme Realm: "..."

His heart, which had just been warming, instantly turned colder than the wind on the snowy plain.

Ignoring Extreme's resentment, the doctor grabbed his shoulder and pulled him in front of him, then used Extreme as a human shield against the cold wind as they continued towards the research station.

"Doctor, you're even more outspoken than Qi Yan now!"

"I was just borrowing your help to block the wind, why are you being so vicious?"

The two bickered as they slowly made their way to the edge of the research station.

The two then stopped talking and walked to the gate of the research station.

Extreme went up and knocked on the door.

The dull sound echoed from the door panel, only to be swallowed up by the howling wind in an instant.

But there was an immediate response from inside. The electronic device next to the door frame emitted a brief electrical buzzing sound, followed by a woman's voice coming from within:

"Who's out there?"

"Hello, we are an explorer team heading to the snowfield. We're passing through here and would like to purchase some information," Extreme said, taking the initiative to engage with them.

"Exploring the snowfields this season?"

The woman's tone was clearly surprised: "The effects of winter are not over yet. I don't recommend you venture deep into the snowfield at this time. Please turn back."

Extreme Realm was not angry at the other party's direct refusal. On the contrary, it initially judged from the other party's words that the other party had some goodwill.

“I’m sorry, but we have reasons to move forward.” Extreme took out a small bag from his pocket. “I have some broken pieces of red gold here. If you can tell us a little about the situation in the snowfield, I’m willing to leave this bag of red gold to you.”

A silence fell over the room.

Just as Extreme Realm thought its actions had aroused the other party's vigilance, the protective door of the research station suddenly made a short sound, and the next second it was opened from the inside.

Inside the door, a Liberian woman dressed in heavy winter clothing appeared before the two from the extreme realm, her amber eyes filled with curiosity.

As the gate opened, the relentless, cold wind of the snowfield surged into the research station like a flood bursting its banks, blowing the woman's short brown hair and making a few strands of silver highlights stand out even more clearly in the wind.

"Wow, the wind is so strong, even stronger than when I first arrived here."

The woman, forced to raise her hand to shield her face by the wind, said to Ji Jing, revealing only half of her beautiful smile, "If you only want to gather some intelligence, you don't need to pay. Of course, if you want some supplies, you'll still need to make a normal transaction, but the quantity I can decide won't be too much."

In short, please come in and talk, it's too windy outside... Oh right, my name is Magellan.

Extreme Realm never expected that this girl would be so naive, completely unguarded against her and the Doctor, two outsiders, and openly opened the protective door.

"My name is Extreme Realm, and the person next to me is the Doctor."

With a smile on her face, Exusiai stepped into the room before the Doctor: "Also, we are Rhodes Island operators, and we are very grateful for your generous assistance."

"Rhodes Island?!"

The woman named Magellan's eyes widened slightly: "Are you from Rhodes Island?"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Jijing was not surprised.

In fact, he deliberately invoked Rhodes Island's reputation to intimidate the other party in case they had any ill intentions.

Unfortunately, the woman's next reaction left the extreme situation completely dumbfounded.

"Is it Rhodes Island, the one Qi Yan belongs to?" Magellan took a few steps back, his face tense, and said, "Qi Yan messed up our Rhine Lab headquarters last time, is he going to send someone to wreak havoc on our company's research station again?"

(I, Lao Yan, have cleared the Black Demon level! I am the Monkey King!)

Chapter 926 Doctor: I can deduce this girl's family tree in three sentences.

As the saying goes, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.

At this moment, Ji Jing truly felt the charm of those words. Qi Yan's mistake had indeed made him experience the feeling of being shrouded in shadow.

However, the shadow was too thick, causing Extreme Realm to suddenly feel dizzy.

His handsome face couldn't help but scrunch up:

“Beautiful lady, you can’t condemn the entire Rhodes Island just because of Qi Yan. The rest of us on Rhodes Island are very friendly and would never do such a thing.”

"you sure?"

Magellan looked doubtful.

Extreme immediately thumped his chest loudly and gave Magellan an affirming look.

Unfortunately, Magellan remained wary and kept his distance, questioning:

"But I heard that Rhodes Island has been blacklisted by Iberia. When that happened, Qi Yan was active in Letania."

Extreme Realm: "..."

Even though he usually considers himself eloquent, he was at a loss for words at this moment.

Because this is not only a fact, but he is also one of the instigators.

Well, the doctor in the back is another instigator.

Seeing the Extreme remain silent, Magellan became even more vigilant: "I saw through you, didn't I? You were up to no good!"

“No, beautiful lady,” Extreme complained with a bitter face. “We just wanted to gather some intelligence and see what impact it would have on your research station. In fact, I didn’t even know this was Rhine Lab’s territory before I came here.”

"No, I already knew that."

The professor suddenly spoke up to undermine him.

Extreme Realm: ? ? ?

He looked at the doctor with a bewildered expression: "Promise me you won't betray me like Qi Yan, okay?"

"This young lady is already suspicious of us because of a misunderstanding, so it's best to resolve the potential for the misunderstanding to deepen with sincerity."

The doctor stepped forward and said to Magellan, "Based on my observation, most of the instruments at this research station are in standby mode. Even though you are so vigilant, you did not call the security personnel inside the station."

Furthermore, there isn't a single vehicle nearby. If I'm not mistaken, you're the only one left here, and you're not even a permanent researcher; you've only arrived temporarily.

"you you you……"

Magellan was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, and even began to stammer.

She never expected that in such a short time, this suspicious hooded man would have collected all the information.

The doctor gestured for Magellan to relax.

"I'll say it again, I want to clear up the misunderstanding between us. The fact that you're wearing heavy winter clothes even in a warm room shows that you've only just arrived and don't plan to stay for long."

At the same time, the fact that you were able to determine within such a short period of time that the research station still had supplies available for external trade shows that you valued this matter and confirmed it immediately upon arrival.

Magellan blinked his large eyes, completely stunned.

"In conclusion, you're actually just like us," the doctor said confidently. "You're also planning to venture deep into the snowfield, and your goal is the same: to find someone."

Magellan and Extreme both showed the same shocked expression.
