Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

She remembered that Dr. Kal'tsit had specifically instructed her that Qi Yan was the pillar of support outside, but inside Rhodes Island, he should be treated as a mascot or just air.

However, she soon noticed Qi Yan's increasingly dangerous gaze and quickly concealed her expression.

"It's two things. The internal accounting list for Rhodes Island this week has been compiled and needs Dr. Kal'tsit's signature."

The logistics officer handed the report in his hand to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan took the report, glanced at it, and casually tossed it onto his desk.

"I don't know how to look at this. You can wait for Kal'tsit to come back."

Logistics officer: "..."

She resisted the urge to roll her eyes, took out her terminal, and opened it:

"The second thing is about a communication from Lungmen. An ordinary Lungmen citizen who calls himself the Rat King wants to have an online meeting with Rhodes Island."

Qi Yan didn't even glance at the terminal handed to him by the logistics officer, and immediately said, "Just block that old bastard. From now on, Rhodes Island will reject all communications related to him!"

Before the logistics officer could say anything, Qi Yan grabbed his shoulder, spun him around, and pushed him out of the office.

"Remember my words, this matter has been settled, and you will no longer need to consult Kal'tsit."

After giving repeated warnings, Qi Yan closed the office door, returned to Kal'tsit's chair, put his legs up on the desk, and waited silently for Kal'tsit to return while sucking on a candy.

He didn't have to wait long before the office door was pushed open again, and Kal'tsit walked in with Amiya and the Doctor.

The doctor's body still seemed a bit stiff, and he was walking unsteadily.

Seeing Qi Yan's figure, Kal'tsit was not surprised at all:

"Give me the structural diagram of the core city."

As she spoke, she glanced at the coffee she had made before leaving, which was now empty, and her eyes twitched slightly.

Qi Yan quickly took out the structural diagram and held it up to cover the coffee cup.

Kal'tsit took a deep breath and picked up the structural diagram to examine it carefully.

Amiya curiously leaned over and peeked her head out to look at Kal'tsit together.

Kal'tsit leaned back slightly, avoiding the two rabbit ears that were sticking out at her, and continued to look at the structural diagram with a blank expression.

On the other side, the professor leaned close to Qi Yan, complaining with a face full of resentment:

"You little brat, you locked yourself in your dorm yesterday, leaving me to face Kal'tsit's revenge all by myself."

I was hung on the bridge all night. Do you know how I spent that whole night?

"I'll teach you. Next time we're up to no good, you can bring Warfarin with you," Qi Yan suggested.

The doctor asked in confusion, "Could it be that Warfarin has a way to appease Kal'tsit's temper?"

"No, Warfarin is there, so at least you'll have company when you're hoisted onto the bridge." Qi Yan grinned. "Of course, you'd better pray that you're not hoisted to a position other than Warfarin, otherwise, with no one around, you might get sucked dry."

PhD:"……"

"If you two still remember your roles at Rhodes Island, you should be clear about the tasks you are supposed to accomplish, instead of engaging in irrelevant complaints and trivial deductions."

Kal'tsit walked up to the Doctor and patted the structural diagram on his chest: "As the commander of Rhodes Island, you should know what you are focusing on now, instead of going to the scene and then spending your sanity on frantic observation."

"Rationality fluid is also a very valuable resource."

The doctor shrank back and quickly picked up the structural diagram to examine it carefully.

After dealing with the doctor, Kal'tsit looked at Qi Yan again:

Do you have any suggestions for this operation?

Qi Yan shrugged and said, "I have done what I was supposed to do. The next action cannot be avoided by cheating or shirking responsibility. Rhodes Island will face the last forces of the Reunion Movement head-on."

As for me, I have some very tricky things to deal with, so I'll be splitting up with you all.

Amiya and the Doctor both looked at Qi Yan.

Kal'tsit frowned slightly: "Next time, you should give prior notice. I had already included you in this operation, and now we have to readjust."

Qi Yan smiled, completely unconcerned, and said:

"I roughly guessed the plan you gave me: to fight against the Patriots and his guerrillas."

But this time, I won't make a move. The old man is too stubborn. Even if he knows he's no match for him, he'll definitely choose to fight back.

But he's not Talulah; he doesn't have the intense heat to evaporate my blood. If he even scratches me, he'll die.

Kal'tsit gazed at Qi Yan and said in a deep voice:

"This is a war, and Bozokast is the enemy. We should not show mercy to the enemy."

“You don’t want him to die in Chernobog because of this incident, do you?” Qi Yan met Kal’tsit’s green eyes. “Trust Amiya, she can definitely do it.”

Beside the two, Amiya herself looked somewhat hesitant.

Recalling her encounter with that towering figure in the ruins of Chernobog, she felt a sense of unease.

"Believe in yourself, little bunny."

Qi Yan noticed Amiya's expression and said with a smile, "Besides, it's not like I'm asking you to fight the old man one-on-one. You have your Rhodes Island companions with you, and Kal'tsit and the Doctor will be by your side as well."

Amiya clenched her small fists tightly, her expression gradually becoming resolute:

"I will, Mr. Qi Yan!"

Qi Yan smiled and didn't say anything more.

However, the PhD student standing nearby couldn't help but interject:

"Amiya, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Don't believe Qi Yan's nonsense."

He says he won't take action, but who knows where he's hiding, secretly watching everything.

"If you can't speak, you don't have to."

Qi Yan angrily crumpled the candy wrappers in his pocket into a ball and threw them into the doctor's mask.

The candy wrapper rolled down the mask to the neck, and finally fell deep into the doctor's clothes as he tried to remove it.

"You bastard, do you know how much trouble it is to take these clothes off!"

The PhD student muttered curses as he slipped out of the office.

After the Doctor left, Kal'tsit said to Amiya, "You should go back and compile a list of operators for this operation. We're about to begin our operation."

Amiya's gaze lingered between Kal'tsit and Qi Yan twice before she quickly jogged out of the office, locking the door behind her.

Kal'tsit's lips twitched slightly. She took a deep breath and turned to look at Qi Yan.

Chapter 099 Betrayal, Prophecy, Candy

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing now?"

Qi Yan quickly curled up in the chair, looking pitiful, weak, and helpless as she hugged herself tightly.

Kal'tsit summoned the rhomboid polyhedron that M3 had transformed into, which hovered beside her, and then said in an icy tone:

“You promised me that you wouldn’t be alone with Amiya without my permission, but you turned around and took her into the Reunion Movement.”

"Kal'tsit, put the M3 down first!"

Qi Yan said defiantly, "Although I broke the contract, putting aside my character issues, don't you like Amiya's current state?"

"...If the outcome hadn't been so good, I would have already had M3 stab you," Kal'tsit said expressionlessly.

Qi Yan grinned:

“You know my blood very well. Once you stab my M3, it’s ruined.”

"On this land, you're not the only one with the ability to regenerate severed limbs; M3's reconstruction ability is no less than yours." Kal'tsit snorted. "I'd rather let M3 reconstruct its severed limbs than give you a couple of hits."

From within the rhomboid polyhedron, came the low, aggrieved growl of M3.

"You come back first."

Kal'tsit opened the pocket and let M3 crawl back in.

Then she looked at Qi Yan and asked:

"So, what are you going to make Amiya go through this time?"

Qi Yan laughed and said, "It's nothing. It's just that after recognizing the suffering and strengthening her own beliefs, I'll let her see what happens when an idealist is betrayed."

"This is cruel."

"It's much better than the path you paved for Amiya."

Kal'tsit was rebuffed, and her expression froze.

After a long pause, she spoke again: "Have you ever heard of a prophecy?"

"Hmm, let me think about it."

Qi Yan scratched his head, frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The son of Hurtikts, the traitor of the Sarkaz and the dishonorable at the end of the bloodline, will be executed by the ruler of the Sarkaz."

That's right, this prophecy refers to Patriot and Amiya, and Sarkaz prophecies are always very accurate.

Kal'tsit gave Qi Yan a deep look.

This man seems to say anything without reservation, as if he never hides anything.

But the mystery surrounding him only grows stronger.

Kal'tsit has a very long lifespan. She has witnessed countless rises and falls on this land and encountered many strange people and things, but she has never seen a guy as unfathomable as Qi Yan.

Fortunately, what the Doctor said was also Kal'tsit's opinion.

Qi Yan said he had absolutely no ill intentions towards Amiya.

"I hope that this time you won't do anything that will cause the situation to get out of control. If you have any thoughts, you can discuss them with me, and I will cooperate with you."

Kal'tsit made a different choice this time.

"You can rest assured, this time it's different from Longmen. The current state of the core city is beyond control." Qi Yan shook his head and said, "The core city is already beyond saving. I don't have the energy or the mood to save it."

Kal'tsit said earnestly, "If possible, I hope you can protect Bozokasti."

"Tsk tsk, woman, you didn't say that before, and is this how you should act when you're begging me?"

Qi Yan was frantically teetering on the edge of death.

"What, do you want me to borrow Warfarin's performance book and perform a piece for you?" Kal'tsit rarely joked.

Qi Yan sprang up from his chair, hid under the table in terror, and peeked out with half his head out, staring at Kal'tsit.

Seeing his exaggerated reaction, Kal'tsit's face immediately darkened.

"Go make me another cup of coffee," Kal'tsit said coldly.

"Hey, that's more like it."

Qi Yan grinned and crawled out from under the table, picked up the empty cup, and ran out of the office.

Kal'tsit stood in her office, lost in thought.

Why did she suddenly choose to joke just now?

She seemed to be getting stranger and stranger when she was around Qi Yan...

On the other side, Qi Yan was carrying an empty cup and was walking unsteadily down the corridor when he bumped into a passing logistics officer.

"Hey sis, can you make Kal'tsit a cup of coffee? I really don't know how to make this stuff."

Qi Yan saw her as a savior and rushed over.

The girl was so startled that she almost slapped the file bag in her arms onto Qi Yan's face.

At the critical moment, she stopped herself in time, still shaken, and said:

“Mr. Qi Yan, I don’t mind making coffee, but I need to send Rhodes Island’s recent personnel files to the personnel department for filing.”

"That's easy. You make me coffee, and I'll deliver the files for you."

Without saying a word, Qi Yan grabbed the file folder from the girl's hand and shoved the coffee cup into it.

Without waiting for the girl to refuse, he took off running.

Only after completely shaking off the girl did Qi Yan stop and realize a serious problem.
