Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The feather remained unchanged, still obediently in Qi Yan's hand.

Dorothy was greatly shocked and tentatively spread her hands:

"Create feathers!"

A cluster of multicolored feathers appeared out of thin air in her palm.

"Disappear!" Dorothy ordered again.

"Don't disappear!"

Qi Yan's voice suddenly interrupted.

The feather remained in Dorothy's palm.

"Why did this happen?" Dorothy was numb with shock.

"You're right. The material world is no longer a constraint, but a perfect representation of everyone's spiritual power."

Qi Yan stepped forward and took the feather that Dorothy had created into his own pocket: "Then, if my mental power is stronger than yours, I can control you at will, because you are also in this world."

Now, you change too!

At Qi Yan's command, Dorothy felt an itch behind her ears.

Liboli feathers actually grew on her head.

"Keep changing!"

Dorothy felt a chill run through her body.

She gasped again, frantically hugging herself, only to find that her research uniform had vanished, replaced by a sexy onesie bunny girl leather outfit.

Qi Yan snapped his fingers with a smile, and Ifrit's terminal fell into his hand. He then aimed it at Dorothy and snapped a series of photos.

Meanwhile, in the world Ifrit created, the terminal in her hand suddenly disappeared, replaced by a thick notebook.

Desperate screams echoed endlessly in Ifrit's world.

Qi Yan looked at Dorothy, who was curled up in a ball, and used the terminal to record a few more pictures of this beautiful moment.

Then, while operating the terminal to upload the photos to his personal account on the large external network, he said with a smile:

"Have you noticed any problems yet?"

Dorothy huddled on the ground, her face so red it looked like it could bleed.

"This world will not only lead people into nihilism, but will also turn those with insufficient spiritual strength into mere playthings of the powerful. Ultimately, it will only evolve into a more cruel law of the jungle than the real world due to the greed of people's hearts."

"Almost, but you've forgotten one thing."

Qi Yan deleted Dorothy's photo from the Ifrit terminal and said slowly, "Don't forget that this world was created by humans. If someone outside the world uses administrator privileges, what do you think the strong and the weak within the world will encounter?"

Dorothy: "..."

She finally realized the level of danger of the weapon she had created.

Yes, a weapon.

Anyone or anything targeted by this world-class weapon will be helplessly drawn into this world and become a puppet to be manipulated at will.

If someone were to provide this weapon with enough energy, theoretically, it could even cover any city-state.

Dorothy felt a chill run down her spine.

"Qi Yan, can you stop all of this?" Dorothy pleaded.

She was also somewhat worried at the moment.

She was terrified that Qi Yan would be tempted by this world, after all, Qi Yan was showing great enthusiasm at the moment, and with his power, he was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of this world.

"Okay," Qi Yan readily agreed.

Dorothy was shocked again and almost instinctively asked:

"Are you really willing to help me make up for this mistake? Don't you have any desire for this kind of world where you can do whatever you want?"

Qi Yan found it somewhat amusing: "Just because I'm not in this world, does that mean I can't do whatever I want?"

Dorothy: "...This world allows you to... well, to be more carefree."

As she spoke, Dorothy hugged herself even tighter.

She would never wear such an embarrassing outfit in the real world, even if you killed her!

Qi Yan revealed a smile that Dorothy couldn't understand.

Ferdinand stood in Dorothy's office, silently keeping track of time.

"Where did Dorothy go?" He looked at the reversed stopwatch, his brow furrowing. "I gave her enough time to evacuate, but given her personality, she should have confronted me first. Why haven't I seen her yet?"

As he muttered to himself, Ferdinand looked at the instruments on his desk.

On the control panel, which appears incredibly complex to outsiders, numerous indicator lights flash regularly. Meanwhile, in the central structure of the instrument, a test tube storing a large amount of silver neurotransmitter is regularly transporting the neurotransmitter into the instrument.

These mediators are creations jointly developed by Dorothy and Palvis, the most perfect Originium Arts casting units on this land, and the most perfect medium for operating the Paradise World.

With this instrument, Ferdinand would have the power to control a world.

“Qi Yan, where are you now examining all of this?” Ferdinand took a deep breath, a confident smile on his face. “I believe you will be very satisfied with the results of this inspection.”

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Unfortunately, according to my tests, this world cannot simulate Qi Yan."

The door was opened to Ferdinand's astonishment, and a plump, long leg in black stockings peeked in from outside. Then, Horhaiya's voluptuous figure, dressed in a heavy coat, walked into the room.

"Why are you here? And what did you mean by what you just said?" Ferdinand asked, his expression displeased.

"Please, why are you so disgusted by my presence? Aren't we the best partners on this land?"

Holhaia hugged her staff, revealing her signature joyful smile, her two pointed little fangs adding a touch of allure to her manic grin.

Ferdinand had no interest whatsoever in the voluptuous woman before him, who seemed capable of devouring people, and turned his gaze back to his beloved instrument.

"Your only task is to stop Saria; this matter is outside the scope of our cooperation."

"How indifferent. I'm not even as tempting as a broken metal box." Horhaya walked to Ferdinand's side and said resentfully, "Besides, how could I possibly stop that Ms. Seria? She could punch through power armor with one punch."

"My best collaborator, can you tell me for sure that Saria isn't some humanoid behemoth in disguise?"

Ferdinand said coldly, "This is not funny, and I have no intention of joking with you."

I'm still waiting for the countdown to end, then I'll activate the weapon and wait for Qi Yan's inspection.

“I’ve said it before, this world cannot simulate Qi Yan.” Horhaya’s smile grew even brighter.

Ferdinand: ?

He suddenly realized something.

Holhaia smiled and leaned closer to Ferdinand, whispering:

"That's right, I tampered with your equipment, and you've already entered the world of Paradise."

In the real world, this weapon has already been activated to full power. The entire experimental base is currently enveloped by it, and its range is still expanding; it will soon cover Tremont City!

Chapter 1151 You Insult Like You're Being Coquettish

To Ferdinand's astonishment, Horhaia raised her hand and a wine glass appeared out of thin air and landed on her fingertips.

Then the dark red liquid fell into the glass.

Holhaya gracefully swirled the glass twice, then raised it to her lips.

"Yes, just as I wished, it's the best red wine I've ever had."

As if deliberately showing off, Holhaya spoke eloquently to Ferdinand: "The taste is delicate, the aroma is mellow, and it has reached the most perfect level I had imagined."

Ferdinand's face was ashen, as if his hard work of two and a half years of experimentation had been betrayed to his face.

He raised his hand to activate the instrument beside him.

Horhaya made no attempt to stop them.

The instrument emitted a faint electronic sound, but none of what Ferdinand had anticipated came to pass. He was in a world where any wish could be fulfilled, yet he was deprived of his due rights.

"Hehe, do you feel angry?"

Holhaya teased, "How about I, the test subject, provide some feedback to you, the developer, such as the drawbacks of this world?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ferdinand questioned.

“This world is perfect, and I think few people can resist the temptation of doing whatever they want,” Holhaya said to herself. “But have you noticed that there is a limit to what is meant by doing whatever you want?”

Even in this world, we cannot imagine things beyond our own comprehension; for example, Qi Yan cannot be simulated by this world.

For example, I have some questions I long for answers to, but because I have no clue where to begin, my desires are not fulfilled by the world.

Stop your pranks!

Ferdinand, unable to bear Horhys's self-talk, roared angrily, "Your reckless use of this weapon will implicate innocent civilians throughout the entire city of Trimont!"

This is an inspection, not a massacre. Qi Yan is secretly observing everything. Aren't you afraid of displeasing Qi Yan?

"You're right. Qi Yan is still secretly observing all of this. How could childish play possibly satisfy him?"

Holhaya smiled excitedly.

Ferdinand's expression was somewhat distorted.

He felt an unprecedented rage at that moment.

His long-awaited research results are being stolen right before his eyes by a damned feathered serpent.

"I am the one Qi Yan has chosen!"

“You’re right, but I’m a feathered serpent.” Horhaya adjusted the blue ear feathers on her head. “I’m very confident in my feathers.”

Ferdinand looked as if he had been punched hard in the face, staggering with an expression that was as interesting as it could be.

But he soon fell into confusion again.

"Why would you do this?" Ferdinand forced himself to calm down. "Just to show off in front of Qi Yan? We should be collaborators. If I succeed, you will naturally come into Qi Yan's sights."

“You’re right, but I’m a mercenary.” Holhaya smiled charmingly. “No one says I can only take on one mission or have one employer, right?”

Ferdinand has become completely red-hot.

He felt like a clown.

"Who secretly instructed you to betray me?" Ferdinand asked through gritted teeth.

"That's a bit much."

Holhaya deliberately put on an innocent expression, blinked, and grinned happily: "The Melander Foundation, an intelligence organization, also cooperates with me in private, as well as your former employer. It seems that no one is too happy to see you enjoying Qi Yan's favor all by yourself."

"You...you...traitor!" Ferdinand cursed angrily.

Unfortunately, his angry outburst only made Horhaiya's smile even brighter:

"No wonder he's a scientist; even his insults are succinct."

"It feels like you're swearing at people in a cute way, you know that, baby~"

"you you you you……"

Ferdinand was so angry that he started to tremble.

"Don't be so hasty, you've already broken through my defenses?"

At this moment, Horhaya looked exactly like a female demon, watching Ferdinand turn into a red-hot pufferfish because of her, and her plump body trembled with laughter.

Just as Ferdinand was on the verge of a mental breakdown, he picked up the now-defunct equipment and raised his fist to fight Horhaiya to the death, Horhaiya's thick tail swept across, sending Ferdinand flying and crashing through the office window.

Holhaya slowly walked to the window and noticed that even at this moment, Ferdinand subconsciously protected the already broken instrument in his arms.

"Seriously, is your XP these little toys?" Holhaya mocked.

Ferdinand fell from the second floor onto the hard concrete ground of the experimental base. He felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and he gasped for breath in pain.

Even so, he did not let go of the instrument in his arms.

"You madman, you'll never understand what I'm protecting. This is a great invention that could change the landscape of this land!"

Ferdinand struggled to his feet, glaring at Horhaia through the window: "You're ruining a great witnessing ceremony that will be recorded in history!"
