Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The neurotransmitters in the test tube swayed continuously, exhibiting a response according to a specific frequency.

“We’re getting closer and closer to the neurotransmitter centers in this area.” Himer pursed his lips. “But the reaction is still too weak.”

"Need any help, little bird?"

A voice that made Himer genuinely wary rang out from behind her.

"Holhaya, why are you here?" Hermer turned around and subconsciously took two steps back.

"I just finished dealing with the pile of work that was piling up at me, and I finally have some time to myself. I'm about to go to Rhine Life headquarters to find Qi Yan and collect my reward."

Holhaia's thick, long snake tail ignored Himer's attempts to avoid it and deftly brushed against Himer's face.

The feathered serpent, with an expression of enjoyment, casually moved closer to Himer.

"But I have a new idea now, and you seem quite troubled. If I help you, would you be willing to put in a good word for me with Qi Yan?"

"I won't interfere with Qi Yan's judgment."

Hammer refused without even thinking.

"How cold-hearted! We're all Qi Yan's people now, why can't we help each other?" Holhaya feigned grievance.

“I said I won’t interfere with Qi Yan’s judgment,” He Mo replied solemnly. “If you want to work for Qi Yan, then do your job well and don’t do anything underhanded. Qi Yan isn’t the type to mistreat his own people.”

"I feel relieved to hear you say that."

Ignoring Himer's resistance, Horhaia hugged Himer and started to cuddle.

"What on earth are you going to do!"

Hammer struggled so hard that his glasses tilted slightly due to the large movements.

Seeing that she couldn't succeed, Holhaya sighed and resentfully stopped trying to take advantage of her.

"I really just happened to see you and thought I'd help you. I also have some research on the neurotransmitters you have."

This thing has amazing properties; it can replace traditional spellcasting units and become a completely new medium, and those connected to it will become completely equal individuals.

It is also possible to develop super devices that can accurately deliver weapons over extremely long distances by leveraging similar 'super-individual' characteristics.

It can even be implanted into the human body; in fact, the human body is the best container for neurotransmitters to function perfectly.

As she spoke, Holhaya took out her terminal and operated it a few times.

The terminal in Himer's pocket immediately emitted a notification tone indicating that the email had been received.

"How did you get my contact information?" Hamer stared in astonishment.

“I am, after all, an agent of the Melander Foundation,” Holhaya said with a smile. “The document I sent you contains information on many people, all of whom have made mistakes.”

Of course, more importantly, none of these people have any connections, or their connections have long since fallen from grace. You know what I mean.

"You want me to implant neurotransmitters into these people to enhance their sensing range?"

Hemer understood what Horhaya meant, and then showed extreme anger: "Horhaya, what do you take human lives for? They are living, breathing human beings just like you and me, not some scraps or waste that can be disposed of at will!"

Horhaya's tail swayed gently behind her:

"Yes, I don't deny that they are also living beings, but what is the so-called value of life?"

Colombia provides them with a living environment, and therefore can determine their value. Now you are the one who can determine their value. Are you going to give up this right?

"I'm so fed up with your condescending attitude!"

Hamer had no more interest in wasting words with Holhaya, turned around and left her quickly.

But Holhaya's voice seemed to haunt Himer like a persistent ghost:

"Little bird, you really are kind. But then again, you have the right to be in this position, able to investigate whatever you want in this city without any hindrance, not because of yourself, but because of Qi Yan."

You're like a blank sheet of paper suddenly thrown into a dye vat, facing this chaotic world without any initial cleansing.

Hemer didn't answer, but simply quickened his pace.

Horhaya showed no sign of being left behind, and spoke calmly and unhurriedly:

"What an adorable little bird! I can't help but feel affection for you. Come with me, I'll take you to find the answer."

"You know what I'm looking for?" Hermer's heart skipped a beat.

Holhaya turned around.

The order between the two was reversed at this moment, with Horhaya leading the way and Himer chasing quickly behind, afraid of being left behind.

After driving through several blocks, Holhaya stopped in front of an industrial park.

Hamer looked at the building in front of him and frowned:

"This area is within District 9. The industrial park in front of it has been temporarily closed due to government planning issues."

"Can you guess why the government's planning had problems?"

Holhaya, with her long legs clad in black stockings, strode across the cordon outside the park and entered as if it were empty.

Hammer quickly lowered the barricade and tiptoed over it.

Led by Horhaya, the two arrived at a building with a clear destination, walked down the corridor, and finally stopped in front of a laboratory that was obviously still in operation.

Holhaya reached out and pushed open the door, calling out into the laboratory:

"Old goat, look who I've brought you!"

The elderly Caprini, who was analyzing data in the laboratory, was taken aback, clearly surprised by the two uninvited visitors.

He stood up. Rhine Lab's uniform coat looked a bit bulky, as if due to his age, he was more sensitive to the cold than the average person and had to wear several layers of clothing underneath.

"Hermer? And... you must be that Ms. Horhaya."

The old man wore black-rimmed glasses. Even though his face was well-maintained, with no stubble or wrinkles visible, the white hair peeking out from under his gray hat still revealed the marks that time had left on him.

Himer stepped forward, looked at her familiar teacher, and asked with some difficulty:

"I didn't expect it to be you, teacher. Even you are using these neurotransmitters. What exactly do you want to do with these neurotransmitters?"

She was terrified that her teacher would give that same answer that made her feel nauseous again.

Palvis picked up his water glass from the lab bench and took a leisurely sip.

After drinking the warm water, Palvis's initial surprise at the two suddenly intruding gradually disappeared.

He smiled, looking at his students with satisfaction:

"You are one of my best students, but this question is beyond your understanding. It's not that I'm unwilling to answer it, but I'm too busy to explain it to you from the beginning."

But you can stay. We will soon have the most ideal experimental environment, which will be the most revolutionary experiment in history. You will witness the birth of truly great results that will transcend all patterns. You will see the promise of science.

"You're lucky, Hermer. Qi Yan won't allow me to have any more research achievements; he's taken everything from me. So, in the end, all my research can be authored by you."

Hammer took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "That's not what I want."

"Your teacher knows that you have always been a kind girl."

Palvis noticed a slight change in the data on his terminal out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately looked back at it.

He stared intently at the data on the terminal, and his speech began to become distracted:

"You care a lot about people who dedicate themselves to science, but that's science. As scientists, we only need to think about one thing."

That's how to achieve it.

Chapter 1171 Christensen & Himer: It feels like there's something on our heads.

As Hamer looked at her teacher, who was now completely absorbed in her data, a surge of anger welled up in her chest.

She clenched her fists tightly.

But in the end, she did nothing.

No matter what, the person in front of her was her mentor.

Without Parvis, there would be no Himer today. No matter how despicable Parvis is, Himer cannot resort to violence against him directly.

"Do you need someone to do it for you?" Horhaya chimed in, stirring things up.

Hemer didn't answer, but instead pleaded with Palvis's retreating figure:

"Teacher, your research has already harmed many innocent people, and it is foreseeable that if this trend is not stopped, more innocent people will be harmed in the future."

Science shouldn't be like this; it shouldn't be used to satisfy the curiosity of a few, but to benefit more people.

Please stop your research, okay?

Parvis did not reply, but focused on analyzing the new data he had just obtained.

Hamer gritted her teeth and had no choice but to use her trump card:

"Teacher, if you insist on going your own way, then I will tell Qi Yan about your research. If he intervenes, it will only make all your hard work go to waste!"

Parvis finally shifted his attention from the data to Himer.

But he quickly looked at Holhaya:

“I know you, and you know me; we both want what we need from Christen’s plan.”

"Is it possible that I've betrayed you?" Horhaya asked innocently.

Palvis: "..."

“Teacher, stop your experiment and tell me the truth about your plan with Christen.” Hamer demanded.

"I'm sorry, I can't stop here. I don't have any time left."

Palvis's tone gradually turned cold.

"Oh no, he's going to attack you!"

Holhaia, always eager for chaos, continued to fan the flames: "This is his laboratory, little bird, you can't possibly be a match for him, you'd better strike first!"

Hammer cautiously took two steps back and realized that although Holhaya's instigation was annoying, she wasn't just spouting nonsense.

A large amount of silvery neurotransmitters were gathering towards her from all directions in the laboratory.

Even the neurotransmitter that Himer controlled began to show signs of going out of control.

"Teacher...why did we have to come to this?"

With a look of heartache in her eyes, Himer opened the backpack at her waist, released her drone to rush toward the neurotransmitter, and then... turned and ran.

Palvis was taken aback.

Wasn't this kid the kind who would never turn back even after hitting a brick wall?

Why have you suddenly become so cunning?

Without a second thought, Palvis prepared to manipulate the neurotransmitters to keep Himer away, only to find that the connection between him and the neurotransmitters was suddenly disrupted.

"What exactly is your stance?" Palvis asked the culprit.

Horhaya shook her staff and said cheerfully:

"Now I've saved the little bird, and I finally have the right to ask Qi Yan for credit. Thank you, old goat."

Parvis pursed his lips, abandoning the idea of ​​hunting down Himer.

He was, after all, just a scientist, and even with the home-field advantage, he could never be a match for a mercenary like Horhaya.

"It seems this lab can't be kept." Palvis turned to organize the data.

"Where are you going next?"

Holhaia, completely oblivious to her own limitations, pulled a document from Palvis's pocket and began examining it without restraint.

Parvis knew about the mercenary's methods and made no attempt to conceal them:

"I'm going to the 'Arc Light One' energy well to hurry up and finish the final step of my experiment."

"Would the military allow someone like you to get close to their precious thing?"

“Justin is a very capable young man. He was able to get Loken out right under the nose of your Melander Foundation, so he can certainly get me in right under the nose of the military.”

"Your Rhine Life Sciences really does produce a lot of talented people."

Holhaya shook the documents in her hand twice: "Look what I found. You've already started to get Alzheimer's. No wonder you're so eager to push forward your experiments, even ignoring Qi Yan's threats."

But you are really audacious... Oh, I don't mean you dare to defy Qi Yan, but that you are secretly researching the Sarkaz dead souls.
