Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Indeed, you are, after all, just a Caprini with mixed bloodlines. Your body has its limits. To further preserve your consciousness, emulating the existence of undead souls is indeed a good idea."

"Are you finished?" Palvis showed no embarrassment at having his secret discovered. "If you're done, please return my valuable information to me."

Holhaya gracefully placed the documents in Palvis's palm.

Her thick snake tail swayed behind her as she whispered:

"Since I've seen your little secret, let me return the favor and tell you one of my own little secrets as well. I'm also very interested in dead souls, and I have a ready-made trace of one."

"what do you mean……"

"I am no match for that dead soul on my own."

Ifrit looked at the familiar guy in front of her and questioned her life.

"Qi Yan, why are you wearing Rhine Lab's uniform? And using something from the General Staff?"

Regarding Ifrit's overreaction, Qi Yan, dressed in ill-fitting clothes, stood in Christensen's office, hands on his hips, and grinned mischievously:

"Since we're going to seek thrills, we should definitely go all the way!"

Ifrit's brain overloaded for a moment, and she couldn't help but smile:

"You're so mean! Can I join you?"

"Go away, do you think Rhine Lab is a heartless company like Rhodes Island that doesn't even spare child laborers?"

Qi Yan waved his hand dismissively: "I am now the acting head of Rhine Labs, and I swear to defend Rhine Labs' reputation to the death!"

During their argument, Saria pushed open the office door and her face darkened upon seeing Qi Yan's attire:

"Kristen's uniform is for women!"

Qi Yan spun around on the spot, striking a seductive model pose: "Women's clothing is nothing to me, Qi Xiaobai, I can still pull it off."

Saria's face darkened further, and she stepped forward, pulling Ifrit to her side and covering her eyes.

Only after confirming that Ifrit's eyes would not be tainted by Qi Yan did she continue:

"Although I don't know what you said to Yara and Justin to get everyone to agree to let you serve as acting governor, now that you've taken office, you represent the reputation of Rhine Lab."

I cannot tolerate the stigma of having a cross-dressing director at Rhine Life.

"After this, I will take you to Christensen."

"...Mr. Jackson should be arriving soon. I'll go check the security."

Saria turned to leave, but not forgetting to forcibly drag away the reluctant Ifrit.

"Leave Eve here!" Qi Yan pleaded.

"Impossible!" Saria rejected without hesitation. "You're not getting to be alone with Ifrit until you take off this damn outfit!"

After a moment of brainstorming, Qi Yan suggested:

“Then I’ll go out with you to check the security and welcome Jackson. Then you leave Ifrit behind. I promised to pluck the CEO’s feathers with her.”

Ifrit: ?

"Are you serious?" Ifrit exclaimed.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Saria's forehead veins bulged.

"Please, I, Qi Xiaobai, keep my word. I'm definitely not obsessed with bird feathers for my own sake!"

Qi Yan raised his hand and stretched out four fingers, speaking righteously to the sky.

"Ifrit, you can go out now."

Saria, her face dark, began to flex her wrists.

"Damn it! What are you doing? Don't be impulsive!"

Seeing this, Qi Yan was so frightened that he turned around and crawled under Christensen's desk.

Saria chased after Qi Yan to the table and grabbed him by the tail:

"You're becoming more and more unserious. You talk nonsense in front of the children. Aren't you afraid of leading Ifrit astray?"

"I just wanted to pluck a few bird feathers..."

"You still said that!"

"Hey! Don't pull my pants! Christensen's waist is so tiny, I'm wearing her pants without fastening the belt!"

A soft click came from the office door, and Justin appeared outside with a big smile, coming to inform Jackson that he had arrived downstairs.

When he opened the door, he saw two people entangled inside, and Ifrit watching the scene with wide eyes.

Justin.exe is not responding.

The two people fighting inside froze, while Ifrit, who was watching the show with a glimmer of understanding, was still somewhat bewildered by Justin's reaction.

The next second, Justin Jr. rushed over like the wind, covered Ifrit's eyes, picked her up and ran outside.

"I didn't see anything. I'm taking the child with me now. You guys continue. Yara will handle Mr. Jackson's situation. No rush!"

Upon hearing Justin's words, Qi Yan and Saria's expressions changed simultaneously.

"You come back here!" x2

Chapter 1172 Justin: Yara, I don't want to die...

Inside the gleaming lobby of Rhine Life's headquarters, a large number of employees, dressed in formal attire, were led by a strikingly stylish white-haired woman to welcome Jackson.

"Yara, Head of Human Resources Inspection Department, welcomes Mr. Jackson on his visit."

The white-haired woman took off her sunglasses, revealing an elegant smile.

She has a beautiful face and naturally exudes a mature feminine charm, but time has not left any trace on her face. Her fair skin is enough to make any young girl envious.

With his boss perched on his shoulder, Jackson showed no arrogance despite his position, and nodded, saying:

"Thank you, Ms. Yara, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to receive me."

"I wouldn't dare say that. Rhine Life's achievements today are all thanks to Colombia's excellent policies," Yara said skillfully, adding, "Rhine Life will always be a staunch supporter of Colombia's progress and development."

"Columbia is fortunate to have such an excellent company and such outstanding scientists."

Jackson looked on with satisfaction as he surveyed the RheinLife employees who were greeting them in the lobby.

The meeting and pleasantries between the two sides were snapped away by reporters on the sidelines. Everyone knew that this would be the headline news in Trimont tomorrow, and it also represented a bonus for all journalists.

Accompanied by the sounds of camera shutters and flashes, Yara skillfully invited Jackson to begin his tour of Rhine Life.

But then, an untimely call came through to Yara's terminal.

Yara glanced at the caller ID on her terminal and a look of surprise crossed her face.

“Don’t worry about me, please make yourself at home, ma’am,” Jackson said kindly.

“It’s our business director, Mr. Justin Jr.,” Yara explained. “He was originally going to see our Rhine Life’s acting director, but he’s suddenly calling. It must be some very important news.”

Jackson gestured for him to proceed.

Yara answered the call, and after listening to a couple of sentences, her expression became quite interesting.

"Sister Yara, I may not be able to go back."

"Watch out for Saria... Ouch!"

"I am Saria. Nothing happened just now. Qi Yan and I are heading to the hall."

Communication was hung up.

Yara put down the terminal and gave Jackson a professional fake smile:

"Our acting commander and former head of the defense department are on their way."

"What is supposed to come will come."

Jackson turned his head and glanced at his boss on his shoulder.

Mark tightened his grip on Jackson's shoulder with his toes.

Despite the pain in his shoulder, Jackson casually started chatting with Yara about trivial, pointless things.

“Rhine Life Sciences has always been a mainstay of scientific research in Columbia, and I believe that with the efforts of Rhine Life Sciences, Columbia will create a broader future.”

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jackson."

"Ms. Yara is too modest. It was Rhine Life that chose Columbia, not Columbia that created Rhine Life. Your company's image has always been... um?"

As Jackson was speaking, he suddenly let out a strange sound that was out of place, captured by countless cameras.

Yara paused, followed Jackson's gaze, and then fell silent.

Among the surrounding group of reporters, the sound of camera shutters reached a peak.

Accompanied by a somewhat stiff Saria, a white-haired Lupo, dressed in an ill-fitting female Rhine Lab uniform, swaggered into everyone's view.

"Hello everyone, I am Qi Xiaobai, the acting head of Rhine Life."

Qi Yan pulled up his pants in front of everyone and said with a bright smile, "Welcome everyone to my Rhine Life, and welcome everyone to do business with Rhine Life. Mention my name, and there will be no discount."

The shutter clicked all at once.

"Mr. Qi... Mr. Qi Yan's way of making an entrance is truly unique." Jackson was taken aback and stammered for a moment.

Qi Yan narrowed his eyes.

You just mentioned that name, right?

Jackson felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qi Yan strode up to Jackson, lifted Mark off his shoulder, and tossed him to Seria.

Then Qi Yan patted Jackson's free shoulder and invited him:

"Since we're here to visit Rhine Lab, let's also visit Rhodes Island after this visit."

I can give you a free ticket to a unique Rhodes Island viewpoint. The view is expansive and unobstructed; if you happen to be there during Rhodes Island's full-speed advance, the wind will feel like the earth is slapping you in the face with its fury.

"Thank you...thank you."

Jackson said gratefully, though he didn't mean it: "Mr. Qi Yan, are you here to show me around Rhine Life? I am honored."

"What are you thinking? I don't know this place at all, how can I dare to take you around aimlessly? What if we see some illegal human experimentation? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"

Jackson and Yara both looked somewhat stiff.

Is it okay to say such things to outsiders?

Saria pinched Jackson's 'pet bird' wing with one hand and interjected, "Let's not talk in the lobby. Let's walk around and talk. I'll show you around the headquarters of Rhine Labs first."

“Okay.” Jackson quickly seized the opportunity.

Unfortunately, his steps were violently dismantled by Qi Yan the very next second.

"Does he deserve it? He doesn't!"

Qi Yan turned around, hooked his arm around Saria's shoulder, and walked back: "Let Aunt Yara deal with him casually. We've got the bird. Let's go back and start cooking. With Ifrit here, we don't even need a stove."

Saria: "..."

Jackson: "..."

Yara: “…”

A thin blue vein appeared on Yara's forehead.

Who are you calling "Auntie"?

Last time when you tried to kidnap me to Rhodes Island, you called me "sister" all the time. Now that Rhine Lab is down on its luck and you've kidnapped everyone, you're suddenly calling me "auntie"?

Qi Yan's tail bristled slightly, and he inexplicably felt as if he were being watched by some great terror. He shook his head and looked around, but found nothing.

"Ugh, I'm just scaring myself."

With a self-deprecating remark, Qi Yan quickly slipped away with Saria.

"Ms. Yara?" Jackson was at a loss for words for the first time in his career.

"Please don't worry about these little incidents," Yara said, resuming her professional fake smile. "Just consider them little surprises. Let's continue our tour."

"……it is good."
