Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Ulpian: "..."

He suppressed the urge to punch Luper into the wall, raised his hand as if to adjust his hat, and said in a forced voice:

"The people of the Inquisition acted too quickly, and it is no longer appropriate to try to contact the bishops here, but at least I found the descendants of Breogan."

"Lumin, and you, Extreme, you two come with me now."

"Where to?" Qi Yan asked curiously.

Before Qi Yan could say anything upon hearing this, Jody became anxious:

"You cannot go to sea. The court has issued a warning. If you go to sea now, you will be caught on the spot by the court. If you resist, they may even use force!"

Ulpian fell silent.

The situation deteriorated so suddenly, so why did the court suddenly begin to forcibly intervene in Granfalo?

It doesn't seem like they're so vigilant because they've discovered his whereabouts...

"Actually, I have an idea."

Qi Yan said mysteriously, "You two come closer and let me analyze this for you."

Jody and Ulpian instinctively moved closer.

Three grown men squatted in the corner, talking in unison:

“Our current plan is to go to sea, but there must be some unexpected event at sea, which is why the court is so tense.”

Jody couldn't help but glance at Ulbian.

Wasn't the source of the trouble this vicious man?

Without giving him a chance to think it over carefully, Qi Yan continued:

"We just need to play along and spread panic in the town, saying that things have escalated at sea and that something is about to land somewhere on the coastline."

This would allow the court to deploy a large number of personnel to the coastline, ready for action.

“But wouldn’t that make it even harder for us to get close to the ocean?” Ulpian frowned.

“That’s not right!” Qi Yan said confidently. “Based on my observation, the Tribunal has now mobilized its entire force to search for something in the town, but Lumin and I only encountered them once in half a day of wandering around.”

What does this mean? It means that the court is currently understaffed. They may seem powerful, but when they actually come together, they probably only have a small group of people.

In this way, what seems like a dead end along the coastline actually reveals a weakness due to its long length!

Ulbian couldn't help but give Qi Yan a deep look.

He thought the plan was feasible!

Rupert may seem crazy, but his logical thinking and observation skills are absolutely top-notch.

“Then proceed according to this plan. You two are townspeople, so you will be in charge of spreading the news,” Ulbian said in a deep voice. “I will protect you in secret, and even if you attract the attention of the court, I can help you shake them off.”

As Jody listened to Ulbian's arrangement, he knew that while the other man's words seemed to be protective, they were actually also a way of monitoring them to prevent them from taking the opportunity to escape.

With a look that said, "Trust me, no problem," Qi Yan pulled Jody out of the hiding corner.

The two walked around the edge of the square, heading directly toward the chapel.

Jody looked around hesitantly and asked:

"Xiaobai, do we really have to cooperate with him? That man looks dangerous."

"Hilarious! How could that be!"

"That's good."

Hearing this, Jody finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He believed that given Qi Xiaobai's cleverness, he must have a perfect escape plan in mind by now.

"So what are you planning to do?" Jody couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qi Yan pointed to the chapel, a sly grin on his face:

"Our third captain wants to show off his hunting skills to me, Qi Xiaobai, so I have to see it for myself. Let's get out of sight first and then wait for him to catch up."

He's chasing me, and as long as he catches up with me, I'll let him... hehehe~

Hearing Qi Yan's increasingly lewd laughter, Jody's eyes widened involuntarily.

Why did he feel that Qi Yan didn't really intend to run away at all, but was deliberately teasing Ulbian?

With their skinny arms and legs, how could they possibly outwit a tough guy who wields an anchor like a weapon?

Does Xiaobai not know how to write the word 'death'?

"Xiaobai, stop fooling around!"

Startled, Jody grabbed Qi Yan's arm: "I know you must be joking, right!"

Qi Yan's smile remained unchanged.

Jody almost cried: "Right?"

"Relax, relax, teasing him and running away aren't mutually exclusive." Qi Yan patted Jody on the shoulder and assured her, "But it's difficult for the two of us to accomplish anything on our own; we need to find some help."

"Didn't I tell you, we have connections in town!"

Seeing Qi Yan's confident words, Jody had no choice but to suppress her doubts and obediently follow him to the front of the chapel.

Qi Yan pushed open the door, and the two strode into the chapel that Jody knew so well.

There was no one there.

Jody was completely flustered: "No, Little White! You're just here to try your luck?"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again," Qi Yan said with displeasure. "You don't want to end up like one of the young girls I know, unable to handle things properly, do you?"

"Her code name is Star Extreme, and Star Extreme can't handle hot tofu."

Jody was so coldly amused by the joke that she couldn't help but shiver.

Just then, footsteps came from behind them.

Are you waiting for me here?

A woman's voice, tinged with hesitation, came through.

Jody turned his head and saw that the person who came was the pink-haired girl from the band he had met briefly last night.

Qi Yan also turned his head to look and saw that it was Aya who had arrived. He didn't mind at all:

"No, I was originally planning to wait for someone from Rhodes Island or a shapeshifter, but since you're here, it's not impossible."

Aya looked a little embarrassed.

The four unlucky behemoths sensed Qi Yan's presence last night, but since he didn't approach them, they didn't want to rashly take the initiative to make contact.

She only approached because she sensed that Qi Yan had deliberately lingered at the place where they had stayed the night before, but this was the result.

Qi Yan didn't care what the girl was thinking; he took three steps forward and put his arm around Aya's shoulder.

"Kal'tsit sent you, right?"

Did she say why she asked you to come here?

"No, she only revealed that she has information about the ocean and has set up this place as a contact point. The specifics will be discussed in detail when we meet."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan immediately understood what was going on.

He spoke with a serious expression:

"Actually, Kal'tsit summoned you here to form an alliance with you, to jointly launch a counterattack against the Deep Sea, and to give the four of you a peaceful and tranquil life!"

Aya looked suspicious.

"What, you don't believe me?" Qi Yan raised an eyebrow.

“…I believe it.”

Aya smiled wryly and brushed away Qi Yan's dog-like paws: "What do you want me to do?"

Qi Yan pointed to the door: "I'm going out to take care of something later. That guy who was with us just now, if he comes looking for you, beat him up and throw him under the sculpture in the square."

"why?"

"Exposed domineering attitude, seeking death!"

"……OK."

"Don't actually kill him, just tease him a little. We're all on the same side, it's just a joke."

Qi Yan pulled the bewildered Jody along and quickly led her to the high window of the chapel.

"You're on the bottom, I'm on top, use me as a stepping stone to flip over," Qi Yan commanded.

Jody obediently did as he was told, using his shoulder to support Qi Yan, pushing open the window and climbing out. Then, despite his seemingly frail body, he easily climbed up.

Aya watched the two leave, feeling utterly bewildered.

Her doubts didn't last long. Ulpian noticed that Qi Yan and the other person hadn't moved since entering the church, and immediately sensed something was wrong, rushing in through the front door.

Ulpian scanned the room but found no trace of Qi Yan and the other person. He then whispered a question to Aya, the only living person in the room.

When asked the question, the delicate-looking Aya was momentarily at a loss for what to do with her hands.

Ulbian had no intention of showing any mercy to the woman and quickly stepped forward, carrying the anchor.

His tall figure cast a shadow that completely enveloped Aya's petite body.

“I don’t want to hurt anyone. I hope you will tell me the truth about the two men’s whereabouts. I have no ill intentions towards them,” Ulbian explained patiently.

"Well, that's good, otherwise you would have died a terrible death."

Aya made an outrageous statement with a weak expression.

Ulpian: ?

“You must know something!” He reached out and tried to grab Aya’s shoulder.

But his hand was only halfway out when it was forcibly restrained by a terrifying force that shocked him.

Aya still had a delicate expression, even a hint of introverted shyness, but her small, soft hand was stronger and more powerful than a pair of pliers made of D32 steel.

"You, you really are exuding domineering aura, you're asking for death!"

Aya stammered, then slapped Ulbian on the chest.

"Xiaobai, is your friend in danger?"

Jody followed behind Qi Yan, unable to contain her worry.

"It's alright, the third captain is very resilient." Qi Yan's answer was completely irrelevant.

"...Should we go back to my house and hide there for a while?" Jody asked again.

"No! Ulpian has fallen, but Ulpian will never fall!"

Qi Yan continued with his statement that left Jody completely bewildered: "Now it's Ulpian's turn to take control of the entire situation. Kal'tsit, Carmen, get ready, time is about to accelerate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jody suddenly stopped and grabbed his sleeve with all her might.

To Jody's horror, 'Ulbian' appeared unharmed in front of them, calmly watching the two with his arms crossed.

"Kazdel Nursing Home?" Qi Yan uttered the code.

"Now you get a 20% discount on admission!" The shapeshifter cheerfully responded to the code.

Qi Yan's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Let's go, let's do something big!"

The shapeshifter responded with a sunny, healthy smile, mirroring Ulpian's face.

"Who are you going to find?"

Amaya!

Ulbian lay on the cold ground, with thick dark clouds overhead and the floor beneath him feeling damp from the rain.

His hat rolled to the side, the anchor flew far away, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"what happened?"
