Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Ulbian felt something was off.

He knew this strange knight, and even had some acquaintance with him, but this was the first time he had seen the knight so disheveled, and also the first time he had seen the knight so silent.

"Rosinant, what happened?" Ulbian switched targets.

When asked about its head, Rosinant shuddered, its two front legs thrashing wildly in the water, creating a whirlpool. It then plunged into the whirlpool, getting caught in its current and spinning around before finally being flung away.

Ulpian: ? ? ?

Is this kid crazy?

"Little White... Knight... Disgrace!"

The reclusive knight was provoked again, and in a frenzy, he raised his lance and stabbed at the scattered sea creatures.

"So, you got beaten up by another knight?" Ulpian gradually understood everything. "It seems to be another strong one, but aren't you only interested in hunting Sealings?"

The knight's arm, gripping the lance, trembled slightly.

It suddenly roared, "Little White Knight, a disgrace to knights! I will challenge him! In the name of knights!"

"Rosinante, let's go find the Little White Knight!"

Rosinante, who had just rushed back from afar, felt a little regretful.

I should have left myself further away.

Chapter 1079 I know the taste of sea foam!

Ulpian understood.

Clearly, the little white knight that the knights encountered with Rosinant was ridiculously strong, not only defeating them but also probably using extremely cruel methods.

It's just unclear whether the other party is human or a sea creature...

Ulpian is more inclined toward humans.

After all, creatures like the Sea Si are preoccupied with feeding and evolution, and when they do act, it's always with the purpose of preying on prey.

Although the Knight and Rosinante are in a sorry state, their injuries are clearly due to a defeat in a sparring match, rather than an escape from the predator's jaws.

"Gentlemen, may I have a word with you?" Ulpian asked.

The knight watched coldly.

Rosinant stepped forward and sniffed Ulbian's scent, then hesitated before maintaining a safe distance.

It hated the scent of the sea on Ulpian, but hoped that Ulpian could persuade the knight to give up the idea of ​​going back to seek revenge on that awful guy.

Ulbian ignored Rosinant's disdain and calmly analyzed the situation:

“I know you are hunting Sealings, but now there are new developments in the Sealing population. If we can seize this opportunity, we will have a great chance to completely solve this problem.”

The knight immediately became interested, planted his lance into the rock at his feet, and gestured for Ulpian to continue.

“I need to get back to Agor first, but you destroyed my navigation with one shot.”

Ulpian pointed in the direction the Seafolk had fled, then pointed to Rosinant: "So I need a new guide who is active in this area year-round. I'll lend you your Rosinant."

knight:"……"

Rosinant shook his head in disgust.

Continuing to ignore Rosinant's disdain, Ulbian said:

"As for you, I need you to continue hunting sea creatures, limited to the vicinity of Agor City, so that I can contact you in a timely manner."

A massive upheaval is imminent within the Sealing race. Your hunting expedition may prematurely expose a hidden variable. At that time, I will bring a powerful ally to launch a decapitation strike against this threat within the Sealing population!

Knight: "...Hunting!"

“It seems you agree,” Ulbian said with satisfaction. “Then, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration.”

The knight drew his lance again, his fighting spirit soaring.

Of the three, only Rosinante harbored deep resentment.

It disliked this hunter with the aura of the sea!

"It's done baking, here you go."

Shuiyue handed a skewer to Qiyan beside her, who immediately took the long-awaited skewer and opened his mouth to take a bite.

As a result, his ear was grabbed and his movements were forcibly restricted.

Qi Lin's expression was somewhat distorted, and the air around her nose was filled with the scent of sea foam.

Yes, the scent of sea foam.

"Don't eat it!" Qi Lin's tail bristled slightly as she wrinkled her nose and threatened fiercely.

"Just one bite, just one bite!" Qi Yan grinned, "Look, Hai Mo didn't say anything!"

Haimo, who was curled up in a ball to the side, was speechless.

Does she dare to speak?

Not long ago, she was coerced and lured by this intimidating Rupert to surrender and save her life, but even after she surrendered, Rupert still wouldn't let her go.

Recalling the scene of Luper holding her, now transformed into Haisi, and about to start eating, Haimo still couldn't help but shudder.

Fortunately, Shuiyue intervened in time and, with the help of the girl Luper's superb surgical skills, freed herself from the proliferating tissue of Haisihua.

But the nightmare was not over yet.

Looking at the Hai Si organization left behind by Hai Mo, Qi Yan immediately suggested a barbecue feast.

Shuiyue was the first to agree, while the shapeshifters had already lit the campfire when Shuiyue expressed her opinion.

Shivering, Haimo smelled a strong aroma of roasted herself. She struggled back to her senses from her fear and found Shuiyue walking towards her with a skewer of roasted herself.

"Eat some," Shuiyue said with a gentle smile. "You are very weak right now and need to replenish your nutrients. I have already processed the ingredients so that they will no longer cause you to become like a sea monster."

"I...this...is..."

Hai Mo stared at the skewers made from herself and began to stammer.

When she was affected by the Haisi cells before, she did say things like eating corpses, but that wasn't her, while these were her own limbs!

Haimo's eyes were almost filled with tears as she tearfully admitted her mistake:

"I know I was wrong. I will never say things like 'eat random things' again."

"No, I stopped caring about those comments a long time ago." Shuiyue sat down in front of Haimo with a skewer of grilled meat. "In the end, they're all just nutrients from meat. There's no difference between humans and Haisi."

It's just out of a concept called human nature that humans still avoid cannibalism.

However, after this unexpected experience, I suddenly realized that I had also fallen into a vortex of paranoia.

"We are human beings, and we are also sea creatures."

Shuiyue placed the skewers into Haimo's hands and smiled, "Deliberate avoidance is just escapism. Haimo, you and I just need to be ourselves. You are Haimo, and I am Shuiyue. Nothing else matters."

Hai Mo held the skewers, enveloped in an even richer, unique aroma.

Haimo was somewhat downcast and blamed herself:

"But I can't do anything. I've only proven my blindness and incompetence once again..."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the Rhodes Island operators hiding in the distance.

She didn't even dare to meet their gazes, immediately lowered her head again, and whispered:

"I have nothing left now."

“You can still sing, can’t you?” Shuiyue ruffled Haimo’s hair. “You’re still alive, and you still know your name is Haimo.”

"But...won't it cause resentment between you and your companions because of me?"

"You don't think everyone's avoiding you, do you?" Shuiyue chuckled.

Haimo exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that right?"

Shuiyue secretly pointed at Qi Yan and his sister, then at the Rhodes Island operators:

"Look carefully, everyone isn't avoiding you, they're avoiding Qi Yan."

"Hmm... that Luper is really scary."

"That's not what I meant. I meant that everyone is waiting for Qi Yan to do something stupid, so it's best to stay away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire."

As soon as Shuiyue finished speaking, Qi Yan, who was being held by the ear by Qi Lin and unable to eat the kebabs, was driven to the point of desperation.

Taking advantage of Qi Lin's complete focus on him, he became emboldened and stuffed the kebab in his hand into Qi Lin's mouth.

The individual shapeshifters were squatting in a straight row enjoying their skewers. Upon seeing this, they moved in unison, took a deep breath, and sucked the sea foam tentacles into their mouths as if they were noodles.

Qi Lin's golden eyes widened as she felt the aroma of sea foam explode in her mouth.

"Qi Yan!" She bit off the skewer in one bite. "You want... um... hmm?"

After Qi Lin subconsciously chewed a couple of times, the even more exaggerated aroma of seaweed stimulating her taste buds wildly, the chewy texture bursting on her tongue, and the firm meat making each chew full of satisfying feedback.

Qi Lin released Qi Yan's hand, covered her mouth, and savored the taste.

A moment later, she looked at Haimo, who was curled up in a ball, with surprise and said:

"It's actually really delicious!"

Haimo: "..."

Chapter 1080 Fool! Man! Number!

Qi Yan ultimately failed to get to eat the sea foam.

Even after Qi Lin expressed her approval of Hai Mo, she did not succumb to the allure of food and remained steadfast in stopping Qi Yan.

Despite Qi Yan's tantrums and rolling around on the beach, crawling all over the place, and even digging a hole in the sand to bury himself, Qi Lin showed no intention of changing her mind.

Seeing the shapeshifters deliberately smacking their lips around him, Qi Yan got so angry that he grabbed Qi Lin's skirt in the sandpit and ground his teeth furiously.

Qi Lin tugged at her skirt twice, but couldn't manage to pull the hem out of Qi Yan's dog mouth.

Her face gradually darkened. She wanted to kick him, but she was afraid of making Qi Yan feel good.

Finally, she compromised and summoned a gust of cold wind to swirl up the sand and bury Qi Yan completely in the sand pit.

The shapeshifters brought over a piece of wood, intending to erect a monument for Qi Yan, but were suddenly locked onto by Qi Lin's icy gaze.

The shapeshifters: "..."

Oh no, it seems we've gone too far with our reckless actions!

After the cold wind passed, a forest of ice sculptures was left on the beach.

Qi Yan had just poked his head out of the sand when he saw this scene. He chuckled dryly and silently pulled his head back in.

"Come out. As long as you don't eat the seaweed, I'll forgive you," Qi Lin said, bowing her head.

Qi Yan's head grew back from the sand:

"You said it yourself! I'm not eating anymore, I'm going to fix the boat."

"I'll go." Qi Lin turned and walked towards the Fool's Ship. "Didn't you come to see Shuiyue because of something important? Take care of the important matter first."

The ice sculpture shapeshifters shattered the ice layer on their bodies and shamelessly caught up with Qi Lin, fawningly saying:

"We'll help you out."

Qi Lin nodded, not really taking their attempt to erect a monument on Qi Yan's head seriously.

Hai Mo watched Qi Lin lead the shapeshifters away, and then saw Qi Yan striding arrogantly over. The Rhodes Island operators, who had already finished watching the show and were regrouping, felt that their little brains were not quite up to the task.

Has she truly broken free from her state of being influenced by the sea?

Why did she suddenly stop understanding this land and these people?

"What are you doing, acting silly?" Qi Yan walked up to Hai Mo, bent down, and looked down at her with a wicked smile. "Are you thinking about which part of yourself tastes the best?"

Her two little feet, which had just stretched out within arm's reach due to her relaxed state of mind, instantly retracted back into her arms.

They praised, "So clever!"

Haimo: "..."
