Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The chocolate hovered at Kal'tsit's lips, but she couldn't find any way to move forward.

Kal'tsit showed no intention of speaking, staring at Qi Yan with an icy expression.

She wanted to unleash a torrent of riddles to condemn Qi Yan's childish behavior, but she was afraid that the moment she opened her mouth, Qi Yan would shove the chocolate into her mouth.

"Huh? Why isn't it working? Is the command wrong?"

Qi Yan felt genuinely puzzled.

Kal'tsit took a half step back, and after dispelling her threat, she spoke with a hint of annoyance:

"Qi Yan, proper relaxation can relieve tension, but not all behavior should be taken for granted. Your task is not considered tiring among us, but I know that taking care of Idia also requires a lot of energy."

I understand your difficulties, but I just hope you won't impose your habits on others.

'Qi Yan, are you just bored out of your mind?'

Qi Yan grinned, successfully summarizing Kal'tsit's speech.

He helplessly spread his hands in apology:

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. My Kai cat has grown up and is no longer a child."

"Wh...what are you saying?!"

Kal'tsit stammered for the first time ever.

Qi Yan was immediately struck by a sense of wonder, as if he had discovered a new continent. He grinned and stepped forward, about to make a joke, when his attention was suddenly drawn to what was behind Kal'tsit.

"Wait, why is the doctor floating on the sea?!"

His exclamation made Kal'tsit turn her head to look at him instantly.

The waves continued to surge, and apart from the trash bags that Idia had carelessly tossed aside, there was nothing else on the sea.

"Qi Yan, you again..."

Realizing she had been tricked, Kal'tsit became even angrier and turned to continue scolding him, but in an instant, Qi Yan stuffed a chocolate into her mouth.

The unique sweetness of chocolate lingered in Kal'tsit's mouth.

Her eyes widened, and she stood frozen in place.

Qi Yan gently placed his finger on Kal'tsit's lips to prevent her from spitting out the chocolate.

"Sweetie, I know you're under a lot of pressure, but you still need to eat and sleep."

Qi Yan gently comforted him, "If you really feel tired, come to me like you did today. I can help you sort everything out in the way I'm best at. The fall of one or two countries in the course of civilization won't cause any waves."

Compared to those who mean little to me, I'd rather not see you suffer. To me, you're far more important than them.

Kal'tsit unconsciously swallowed the melted chocolate in her mouth.

She felt that she might have consumed too much sugar and was somewhat drunk, her mind was hazy and she almost lost the ability to think.

Only when the warm touch on her lips left, and the sea breeze caressed Kal'tsit's face, did she regain her lost reason.

Kal'tsit raised her hand, her fingertips touching her forehead, and took the opportunity to lower her head to avoid Qi Yan's gaze.

The sea breeze kept blowing.

Qi Yan looked at Kal'tsit with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with her, as if she had just drunk two ounces of alcohol.

"The aftereffects of sleep deprivation have kicked in?"

He bent down, trying to see Kal'tsit's face from below.

Then, Kal'tsit's soft yet strong hand grabbed his head.

"Damn it, I was wrong, please don't refine me!" Qi Yan begged for mercy on the spot.

Kal'tsit remained silent, having lowered her hand from her face, her expression completely returning to normal.

Idia turned to look at the two of them, and felt that the food in her mouth tasted even better; it was so appetizing!

As a member of the Sea Heir, she could clearly tell that Kal'tsit's seemingly calm state masked a rapidly beating heart and rising body temperature.

The woman who adopted me... Oh right, it seems that she is Kal'tsit. Why do I feel a natural affinity for Qi Yan?

A question mark popped into Idia's mind.

After a brief moment of thought, Idia decided to give up, stuffed two more cookies into her mouth, and quietly moved her feet to continue squatting close to Qi Yan's legs.

While Idia was showing off her cookies, Qi Yan, under Kal'tsit's control, caught a glimpse of a savior out of the corner of his eye.

"Grandma! Grandma, save me!" Qi Yan cried out for help.

Kal'tsit, well aware of the fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," remained unmoved and coldly said:

Do you think I'd fall for your tricks a second time?

"Um...maybe I came at the wrong time?"

Outcast's hesitant voice rang out from not far away.

Kal'tsit froze, her grip loosened, and Qi Yan successfully escaped, scurrying away to hide behind Outcast.

Idia, clutching her snack box, frantically rummaged around and followed along with her short legs.

"Ahem, madam, you're back." Kal'tsit began the conversation somewhat awkwardly.

Outcast chuckled, not intentionally teasing Kal'tsit, and shrugged:

"I went to investigate some things, and I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble these past few days."

"That mysterious powerful figure who attacked the Inquisition..." Kal'tsit reacted instantly, "What was the outcome?"

She did not ask Outcast why he did this, showing absolute trust in this key figure of Rhodes Island.

"The results were somewhat encouraging, but the outcome wasn't perfect," Outcast lamented. "My poor comrade, after the mayor found out the truth, saw his belief in persevering through life crumble."

Love is gone, friendship is gone, and the false facade of heroism has been ripped apart by violence. He may need some time to process this cruel reality.

Kal'tsit nodded silently.

The tribunal is on a relatively just path in Iberia, and Rhodes Island can confidently cooperate with it in depth.

While Kal'tsit was processing this information, Outcast put his hand on Qi Yan's shoulder and looked at Idia with curiosity.

"Is this the little Hai Si that the shapeshifters were talking about, born by chance due to the influence of Little Eureka's blood?" She casually took out a bag of snacks and fed him, "The little guy is so cute, Grandma's heart is melting."

Having successfully escaped the cat's claws, Qi Yan patted his chest and echoed:

“Idia is indeed adorable, she…wait? Grandma, what did you just say?!”

Outcast: ?

"This is a baby conceived from Eureka's blood?!" Qi Yan's eyes widened instantly. "She's not my baby! I knew it, how could I, Qi Xiaobai, possibly become a father by accident!"

Outcast was taken aback. He glanced around, but didn't see the cold, aloof girl.

She finally relaxed and retorted with a mischievous smile:

"Don't be irresponsible. How could little Eureka have produced a baby without your involvement?"

Kal'tsit: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Qi Yan was so startled that he took half a step back, and then suddenly fell into thought:

"Eureka... isn't out of the question!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the plastic bag that Idia had carelessly tossed aside was blown by the wind at a strange angle and slapped hard across Qi Yan's face.

Qi Yan immediately realized the reality.

"Eureka, it was my fault. Your child is my child. I will raise him for you without a single complaint!"

He grabbed the plastic bag from his face and, with a pilgrim-like devotion, turned to find a trash can.

Outcast picked up Idia and followed with a smile.

Kal'tsit watched the three figures disappear into the distance, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

She suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

A subtle smile appeared on her face as Kal'tsit walked towards the three of them, but her gaze remained fixed on Qi Yan.

He said to go to him if you feel tired.

Kal'tsit has walked this land for far too long, watching this nascent civilization struggle from nothing to its present state.

She is a guardian, bidding farewell to the past civilization in solitude, and walking alone in the new civilization, traversing ten thousand years, utterly alone.

She had once met like-minded companions. In order to help her compassionate friend, she chose to suppress her anxiety and ask the person she trusted most for help to awaken him from the stone coffin.

"It won't be like that again, Qi Yan, I believe in you."

Kal'tsit's subtle thoughts were shattered by the sea breeze and the sound of the waves.

Qi Yan suddenly turned around.

He waved to Kal'tsit, who was lagging behind him:

"Come on, Kal'tsit, now that Grandma's back, you'll have more time to rest."

When we look up at the sky, let's not forget that we are all just ordinary people living on this earth.

"Am I human? I'm asking you, am I human?!"

The doctor grabbed Extreme by the collar, shaking him angrily and roaring, wishing he could bury Extreme right there in this icy wasteland and let him sleep forever.

Extreme smiled bitterly in the Doctor's hands, begging for mercy:

"I didn't mean to. I really just wanted to change my pants. Who would have thought things would turn out like this?"

"You're lying. You think you can fool me? I'm a PhD!"

The doctor released his grip, stepping back while pointing at Extreme and loudly accusing him: "You just can't stand to see me doing well! You've ruined my soon-to-be-arrived love!"

"I love you, Mahua!" The extreme situation instantly stopped Bengbu.

"What do you know!"

The doctor, undeterred, roared to the heavens: "She smiled at me! Ms. Calesa must have fallen in love with me at first sight!"

"It's all because of you! You've demolished her house, leaving me unable to face her. I could only rummage through the rubble for a few collectibles and Originium Ingots before fleeing in a sorry state!"

Extreme Realm: "..."

Magellan and his two companions, who were watching the spectacle, were speechless.

The doctor exuded a miserable aura, his desolate gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

His voice sounded even more decayed than that of the King of Carrion:

"Do you see that? The snow all around us isn't burying mountains and forests, but my lost love!"

"I can't take it anymore, someone help me!"

Extreme Realm, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and casually pinned the Doctor to the ground.

Magellan was the first to step forward and help hold the doctor's legs as he struggled wildly.

Extreme controlled the doctor's upper body, took out a bottle of sanity serum, and forced it into the doctor's mouth.

The sanity serum was instantly depleted, and the doctor's struggles ceased.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The doctor lay in the snow, shaking his head: "I wasn't just directing you guys to fight against the self-defense system of Kalesa's house... Oh, I've run out of sanity."

Seeing that the Doctor had finally come to his senses, the others breathed a sigh of relief and released him so that he could sit up on his own.

As a result of this action, the doctor suddenly discovered that his arms were bulging with things.

"What the hell? Who stuffed so many strange objects and Originium Ingots into my arms?" the Doctor exclaimed in surprise.

Extreme Realm and the others: "..."

Magellan suggested, "How about another dose of sanity potion?"

Extreme pins the doctor down again.

Chapter 1037 The Direction of Fate

After the doctor half-forced and half-enjoyed drinking the second dose of sanity potion, he finally accepted reality and stopped struggling.
