Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

When Palvis's name was suddenly mentioned by Qi Yan, the expressions of the people present changed.

Saria immediately looked at Ifrit, who was clearly also shocked, her pupils shrinking slightly.

Ferdinand's eyes were slightly lowered, and he seemed lost in thought.

Blake decisively pulled out his terminal and instructed his adjutant to add extra data to Palvis's interrogation package for free.

Christensen's eyes were clouded with gloom.

Originally, she had planned to head towards the stars and never return.

She is actually very selfish. As long as her own wishes can be fulfilled, what does it matter to her whether the world is in turmoil or not?

But now she suddenly realizes that it was a decision she made without thinking that led to her current failure.

Ifrit's head was suddenly covered by a warm hand.

Qi Yan gently stroked Ifrit's soft, golden hair and said softly:

"Palvis is a madman. In his eyes, only scientific progress is meaningful, so I want him to see with his own eyes the great feat he has devoted everything to pursuing destroyed by me in the most absurd way."

Life support pods? Not needed. Remote operating systems made of neurotransmitters? Not needed. Not even the various sophisticated devices inside the focusing unit.

As long as your 'Wanxingyuan' aircraft, modified from a focuser, can carry living people, that's enough. I'm going to use the most primitive and crudest method to throw you, this big golden retriever, and 'Wanxingyuan' out together.

The ending you've been dreaming of has come true, but this flight lacked any scientific beauty; it was purely a miracle of brute force. This is my ultimate insult to you mad scientists.

Seria noticed that Christensen's body was trembling slightly.

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Saria is also a scientific researcher. Although she always adheres to the justice in her heart and never indulges her desire for scientific research, she also knows how cruel Qi Yan's words are to someone who loves science.

Qi Yan's behavior was like Christensen saving up a whole year's salary to buy the latest terminal, only to have it snatched away and smashed by Qi Yan before she could even use it.

Afterwards, he picked it up and smiled at Christensen, saying: "It's okay, the screen is just shattered into the same shape as my integrity, but the functions still work."

As he turned and walked away, he didn't forget to snatch the warranty card from the device and eat it.

Just by putting herself in that situation, Saria already felt her liver throb with anger.

Just then, Qi Yan stood up on his own:

"Alright, my ultimate insult has been decided. Now it's time for the next step."

"What part?" Saria asked, getting up as well.

Qi Yan gently patted Ifrit's little head and said to Saria:

"You've had enough fun and gone crazy. Take Eve back to meet up with Himer first, and then send Eve back to the professor to finish her homework."

Ifrit: ?

The slight discomfort she felt upon hearing the name Palvis was instantly shattered by this sudden and devastating news, leaving only fear and resentment in her eyes.

"Qi Yan, you can't do this to me! I've helped you out, I've helped you manipulate people's mentality!" Ifrit screamed. "Have you forgotten the bond between us?"

"Watch less anime! 'Bondage' is a derogatory term!"

Qi Yan decisively reused the knowledge he had learned when Lao Chen criticized him.

Saria stepped forward and subdued Ifrit, then whispered a plea to Qi Yan:

"That... well, ultimate insult of yours was already cruel enough to Christensen. Could you please not really go all the way and kill her?"

Qi Yan beckoned to Ferdinand, signaling him to throw the tin man's head over.

After catching the tin man's head, Qi Yan held it up and waved it at Saria:

"Don't misunderstand, I won't pursue any further revenge against Christen. I just wanted to do some good deeds to accumulate merit after making a terrible joke earlier."

Saria blurted out instinctively:

"Judging by your actions, your karmic debts probably exceed your financial debts, don't they? Are you going to save all of Terra to make amends?"

Qi Yan: "..."

This dragon girl with the diamond head can actually make fun of people?

Taking a light breath, Qi Yan flashed a professional smile and said elegantly:

"I'm just going to pick up my old trade and go to the address where Christensen found a bargain to help an old man die."

That guy's been lonely for too long, so I'm going to bring Christensen back to liven things up."

Saria nodded, seemingly understanding, and stopped dwelling on the details. She glanced at Christensen one last time and said seriously:

"I have a lot more to say to you, but now is obviously not a good time. Let's talk about it later."

After saying that, Saria dragged Ifrit, whose entire body was filled with reluctance, out of the meeting room.

Christen watched her retreating figure and sighed inwardly.

If Qi Yan is about to throw me out of Terra, how can there be any talk of 'later'?

Chapter 1186 Kal'tsit Returns After Three Years of Jungle Camping

This impromptu meeting officially ended with the departure of Seria and Ifrit.

Just as Blake was about to ask Qi Yan about the contents of the so-called 'next step', he saw Qi Yan walk past him and stand in front of Ferdinand.

"Teacher Dafei, from now on, Rhine's life depends on you."

Qi Yan patted Ferdinand on the shoulder, his tone extremely sincere.

Ferdinand's expression was somewhat strange.

After being tormented repeatedly, he truly couldn't discern Qi Yan's thoughts anymore.

Qi Yan didn't offer any explanation; after giving his instructions, he turned and left.

"Blake, the farce is over. You can go back to work now."

Qi Yan briefly explained to Blake on the way, then went straight back to Kristen and Holhaya, leading them towards the conference room door.

Blake stood there, letting out a sigh of relief, but also feeling inexplicably empty.

As Ferdinand watched Qi Yan's retreating figure, a passage suddenly came to mind.

He stepped forward and called out, "You said before that there are high-energy physics formulas that Christensen came up with in the focuser. Can I go with you to take a look?"

"Let's talk about it later. That belongs to Christensen."

Qi Yan waved his hand without turning his head.

Christen glanced back at Ferdinand, sighed ambiguously, and shook her head.

In the hotel, Saria brought Ifrit to the Doctor's room, just as the Doctor, who was in a 'turning his back to everyone' posture, had just finished a conversation with Himeru.

Himer glanced at Saria and the other two, and seeing that they were both safe and sound, she looked away and thanked the Doctor:

"I roughly understand what I need to do, and now I'll just wait patiently for Justin to contact me."

The PhD student waved his hand without turning his head.

After the two finished talking, Saria sent Ifrit next door to find Rosemary, and she also reported her experience to the Doctor.

After hearing Saria's story, the Doctor clicked his tongue lightly:

"Although this white dog is not human, its efficiency is really high."

Although Christensen's plan was somewhat headstrong, it was still quite significant for Terra, and now he has completely ruined it.

Saria pondered for a moment, then voiced her opposition, saying:

"From the perspective of scientific development alone, Christensen's plan can indeed inspire countless scientists. People's attention has been focused on the ground for too long. The sky is a completely new field that people have temporarily ignored, but her actions also mean that a gap has been opened."

If people remember Kristen's name and write her into history books, then no one can guarantee that there won't be more 'Kristens' in the future.

Although Christensen is a very important friend of mine, I must admit she is a very restless person.

Science should not be a desire that grows unchecked, but rather a beautiful vision where reason and humanity mutually restrain and promote each other.

The doctor crossed his arms and chuckled softly:

“You’re right, Himer also has the same idea. You two can discuss it in more detail.”

But that's not what I'm concerned about right now. What I'm really worried about is how quickly the white-haired dog has worked. Has Kal'tsit's investigation yielded any results yet?

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

No sooner had the Doctor finished speaking than Kal'tsit pushed open the door and entered.

“Everyone’s here.” Kal’tsit greeted everyone and then got straight to the point. “I have a lead on the energy source for Project Kristen, and things are developing in a direction I didn’t expect.”

Doctor, I need you to get on board immediately.

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she noticed that none of the people in the room had moved.

"It's over, Dr. Kal'tsit," Saria kindly reminded her. "Kristen's plan has been completely shattered by Qi Yan. Of course, in the end, Qi Yan still decided to complete Kristen's flight plan."

Upon hearing this news, Kal'tsit was speechless for a moment.

If I remember correctly, I've only been gone for three days, not three years, right?

She glanced at the doctor, and seeing that he didn't react, she hesitated for a moment and then stopped caring about Qi Yan's antics.

"Doctor, although Qi Yan has taken control of Christensen, you still need to come with me."

Kelsey paused for a moment, carefully choosing her words: "There are some things you need to face."

"Yes, that's why I came to Colombia this time."

"……Um."

"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to hurry, I don't want to be trapped in the cave by Kal'tsit and the Doctor."

Sitting in the SUV that Holhaya had brought, Qi Yan kept urging Christen, who was driving, "Kal'tsit has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She'll definitely plead for the Doctor when she sees me."

Christen remained silent, simply continuing to drive.

Sitting in the back row, Horhaya was getting closer and closer to the answer she was looking forward to, and the tip of her tail was twitching with excitement.

She leaned against the back of the passenger seat, whispering sweetly in Qi Yan's ear:

"Qi Yan, what exactly happened between you and the doctor?"

Qi Yanlang's ears felt a little itchy, so he twitched them back and forth a couple of times.

He pushed Horhaya's face away with his other hand and explained:

"Who knows what got into that guy? Maybe he was lustful, or maybe he was trying to nip a possibility in the bud. Anyway, he betrayed me and we got into a fight in Sami."

In the end, of course, I won and I put a bunch of weird curses on him.

This guy's thinking he can just back down and let this go? Ha!

Holhaiya's head peeked out from the other side of the chair back:

"So you're still not satisfied? Do you need me to teach the Doctor a lesson for you?"

"You really don't know how to write the word 'death'?" Qi Yan plucked a feather with his backhand. "Actually, I've never been angry. I'm just joking around. I think the doctor must have a serious illness to do this."

What could I, as his father, do but forgive him?

"Then why are you avoiding him and not lifting the curse for him?" Horhaya covered her feathers and obediently sat back down in her seat.

"Because it's fun," Qi Yan said sincerely.

Holhaya: "..."

Christen: "..."

The two women, who clearly didn't get along, exchanged glances and simultaneously confirmed one thing.

They didn't know if the doctor had any serious illness, but Qi Yan definitely did, and it was quite serious.

For the rest of the journey, Horhyah remained unusually quiet to protect her noticeably thinner ear feathers from the past two days, and Christen didn't even have the thought of chatting.

However, the journey from the energy well to the location of the 'Preserver' is not long.

The off-road vehicle quickly came to a stop at the foot of a low hill in the wilderness.

Christen got out of the car and glanced back at the road she had come from.

She didn't know if the military had really stopped being so obedient, but even if no one was following her, someone with ulterior motives could easily find this place by following the trails of someone driving so openly from the energy well.
