Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Without turning her head, Himer said confidently:

"Impossible. You can doubt other things I do, but I specifically assigned your homework according to your learning schedule."

If you don't understand the question, it must be because you weren't paying attention while studying, or your thinking went astray. Think about it again carefully, and I'll check it for you tonight.

"Can I ask for outside help?" Ifrit pleaded with a pained expression.

"I'm sorry, both White Owl and I are very busy today."

"And what about Dorothy?"

"She's busier! She's the owner of this experimental base, and she has even more to do than I do. Don't bother her."

Ifrit responded with a disappointed sigh.

Dorothy, that older sister, is clearly very gentle; she even invited me over to play before.

Filled with resentment, Ifrit and Dorothy arrived at the door of Dorothy's office.

Himer knocked on the door, and it was immediately opened from the inside, revealing a tall, blonde woman to Himer and Ifrit.

Dorothy was dressed in a clean and tidy research uniform. Her large, fluffy ears swayed happily as she saw the two of them arrive. Her long, golden hair was simply tied up, and her ample bosom contrasted sharply with her slender waist. Beneath her dark brown skirt, her long, fair legs were even more captivating.

Even Ifrit had to slightly raise her head in front of Dorothy, not to mention Himeru, who was like a little girl in front of Dorothy.

"Thank you both for your hard work, please come in."

Dorothy's melodious voice was enough to lift one's spirits even in casual conversation, and combined with her uniquely gentle tone, Ifrit immediately forgot about her homework worries.

“Sister Dorothy, we’re here to deliver some documents,” Ifrit exclaimed. “Although I don’t know what these documents are, just call me on your terminal if you need any errands in the future, and I’ll be there whenever you call.”

“Ifrit!” Hamer glared at her.

Ifrit shrank back and became obedient again.

"Alright, alright, thank you for your help, Eve." Dorothy waved gently at Himeru. "Don't be so strict. I'm just happy that Eve is willing to help."

"This child is always so impulsive and has caused trouble for Principal Dorothy."

Hammer smiled gratefully, then quickly got to work, taking the documents from Ifrit's arms and beginning to report to Dorothy one by one.

Ifrit paused for a moment, then couldn't help but feel bored. Seeing that the two working people had no energy to pay attention to her, she immediately slipped away to the office bookshelf to find a book that interested her.

Unfortunately, the hypnotic effect of the science-related literature mentioned above far surpasses that of Himer's lectures.

Ifrit patted her cheeks and turned around, intending to take the opportunity to hide in a corner and play with the terminal for a while, but then she caught a glimpse of two documents that Dorothy had placed on her desk.

She let out a soft "hmm," walked over, picked up one of the documents, and stared wide-eyed as she flipped through it.

Hemer noticed her actions out of the corner of his eye and was about to speak up to stop her.

“It’s alright,” Dorothy stopped her. “It’s just the identity information of two pioneers. My staff just informed me that they’re coming to sign a contract with me. It’s not any important experimental data.”

They were taken for a security check, which should be almost over.

"I see. I'll report this as soon as possible to avoid disturbing your work, Director."

Upon hearing this, Himer immediately sped up her speech and completed her daily report.

Then, just as she was about to call Ifrit to leave, Dorothy stopped her with a light laugh and a wave of her hand:

"Eve seems to really enjoy spending time with me. I like this child too. Could she spend more time with me?"

"This... Ifrit, you mustn't disturb Principal Dorothy's work, understand?"

Not wanting to offend Dorothy, Hamer could only offer a few words of advice before taking his leave and departing alone.

After Hamer left, Dorothy winked playfully at Ifrit, as if to claim credit:

"See? I'm good to you, aren't I? I could tell you wanted to slack off, so I took the initiative to cover for you."

But let's be clear, I have to help you finish your homework for today before you can use the terminal."

Ifrit was no longer paying attention to her studies or the terminal. Holding the document in her hands, she said mysteriously:

"Sister Dorothy, the big one is coming!"

She glanced at the document, puzzled, and asked, "What big thing is coming? Do you know this newcomer named Extreme Realm?"

"We're more than just acquaintances, we're practically best friends!" Ifrit exclaimed excitedly. "Extreme is an operator from Rhodes Island, and she's a comrade-in-arms who used to skip class, sneak food, and play pranks with me!"

Dorothy: "..."

But she quickly realized something was wrong.

"Extreme is an operator from Rhodes Island?" Her eyes widened. "Then why did he suddenly appear in the Pioneer team and even volunteer to join my experiment?"

"Because this isn't the ultimate realm at all!"

Ifrit slammed her hand on the table and said confidently, "Extreme is currently sneaking off to Iberia without Dr. Kal'tsit's knowledge. He's not like Qi Yan, who has no sense of direction. There's no way he could have gotten lost here!"

"so……"

"So this Extreme Realm is definitely Qi Yan! You're doomed, Dorothy!"

Ifrit cheered.

Dorothy: "..."

That brat!!!

Chapter 1142 Ifrit's Betrayal Plan

Ifrit quickly realized her slip of the tongue and, under Dorothy's helpless glare, hurriedly corrected herself:

What I mean is, your experiment is going to fail!

Dorothy: "..."

This is worse than me being completely finished!

“Eve, are you sure this Extreme Realm expert is Qi Yan in disguise?” Dorothy, her playful nature gone, asked worriedly, “He’s here to sabotage my experiment? But why? I don’t remember offending him…”

"Sister Dorothy, now it's your turn to reflect on yourself."

Ifrit put her hands on her hips and lectured with an air of experience, "Every cause has its effect. Where there is a clear sign of a major event, something big must have happened. You must have planted a hidden danger for yourself somewhere."

Dorothy's two large ears drooped slightly, while her long, thin, furry tail, unique to the Zalak tribe, swayed restlessly behind her.

Where could she possibly harbor any hidden dangers?

The goal of the experiment is to benefit everyone on this land, and all participants are on a voluntary basis. So far, there have been no medical accidents.

She even took the best care of the pioneers working at the experimental base.

While thinking, Dorothy noticed Ifrit's expression of 'come ask me' in front of her. After a moment's thought, she decisively abandoned her plan to involve Ifrit.

"Eve, go find Himer first. I can handle things here myself." Dorothy took out her terminal and prepared to contact Himer.

"Hey?! No way!"

Ifrit wasn't about to miss out on the excitement and immediately exclaimed, "If Hermer knew Qi Yan was coming, he would definitely rush over to his death!"

"Sister Dorothy, tell me in detail about your experiment, and I can give you some advice."

Dorothy refused without even thinking.

Although she believes that there is nothing wrong with her experiments and that they are absolutely for the benefit of millions of ordinary people on this land, she will not deny the fact that she is conducting human experiments.

And Ifrit's past...

Dorothy instantly hardened her resolve and said firmly:

"Eve, be good. We adults will handle this ourselves. You go back and wait for it to be over."

Faced with Dorothy's sudden hardline stance, Ifrit still didn't dare to continue the direct confrontation.

She pouted, her eyes darting around mischievously, and muttered in a feignedly aggrieved tone:

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and wait for your news."

Dorothy urged.

Ifrit turned and opened the door, politely saying goodbye to Dorothy, and then revealed her true colors the moment she closed the door.

"Since you're unwilling to take me with you, don't blame me for betraying you!"

Based on her experience from the past few days at the experimental base, Ifrit locked onto the direction of the security checkpoint and began to sprint.

Staff members passing by in the corridor recognized Ifrit as a family member of Himer and did not try to stop her.

Ifrit arrived at the security checkpoint without any hindrance and bumped right into Qi Yan, who was being led out by a defense officer.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

Even Qi Yan was taken aback by Ifrit's sudden appearance.

"No time to explain!"

Ifrit stepped forward and said seriously to the defense staff, "I just came from Dorothy's office. She told me to take these two people over to sign the contract."

The defense staff had some doubts:

"The director didn't notify me."

“I just came to inform you, didn’t I?” Ifrit put her hands on her hips, lying without batting an eye. “You can ask around as much as you want. Many people saw me come out of Dorothy’s office.”

"……All right."

The defense staff shook their heads with a smile.

Anyway, it's not a crucial task, so having Ifrit help out with some errands is no problem.

He waved to Qi Yan and Sonny, then turned and left without any suspicion.

"Come with me."

Ifrit beckoned and turned to lead the way.

Qi Yan gestured for Sonny to follow, and the three of them swaggered through the corridor, but their direction was not Dorothy's office. Instead, they turned twice and headed straight for Hammer's lounge.

After Ifrit locked the door from the inside, Qi Yan immediately said seriously:

"Why are you here?"

"Huh? I... I came with Himer." This was the first time Ifrit had seen Qi Yan so serious.

Qi Yan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on:

"What Himer was thinking... Oh right, even Himer doesn't know the truth."

Ifrit listened from the side, and gradually a bad feeling arose; her emotions instantly tensed up.

"Could it be that Dorothy is really conducting some kind of evil experiment?"

"Call your mom over here, I'll talk to her." Qi Yan was too lazy to waste words with this brat.

"No!" Ifrit pleaded, "Please take me with you this time, I promise I won't cause you any trouble, and I know the layout of the experimental base very well now. Except for the core part, I can practically move around in my own territory!"

"Why don't you take me with you this time you betray us? That way, I'll have something to brag about to Rosemary when she gets here!"

"What nonsense! What kind of talk is that!"

Qi Yan immediately started shouting in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by betrayal? I came here to join the Mouse! Whether I can play with the sniper rifle that the Pope gave me in the future depends entirely on this Mouse experiment!"

The 'transmitter' she developed is a godsend that could benefit countless people with Originium Arts deficiencies. Do you understand what a godsend is?

"That sounds like a lot of fun! Why don't you take me with you?" Ifrit grabbed Qi Yan's hand and shook it repeatedly.

Completely oblivious to the situation, Sonny seemed to transform into Liboli, watching the two, one big and one small, arguing incessantly, and only felt a sense of suffocation and discomfort.

"Excuse me," Sonny interrupted forcefully, "And who is this child, Extreme Realm?"

“She is…my informant!” Qi Yan blurted out.

Sonny looked displeased.

Even though he wasn't really Li Boli, he could still tell that Qi Yan was clearly surprised when he saw the little girl appear.

Qi Yan ignored Sonny and turned to Ifrit seriously, saying:

“Listen, you shouldn’t be here. You should be in the city.”

"I'm still under the car!" Ifrit said resentfully. "Just take me with you this once! You've taken Amiya on a rebellion before, why can't I?"

Even Qi Yan couldn't help but feel overwhelmed this time.
