reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

"Moreover, I also have a newborn one on my side... Since we are enemies and friends of the same origin, there must be a solution."

Bai Ye smiled as he spoke.

"However, first, I need to get her to accept me and us."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he pointed to his right hand.

I will change the hunter's destiny.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Pride and Prejudice

(Starting today, I'm playing the "Fragrance of Love" game with girly coloring.)

-------------------------------------

Skadi and Specter's initial joy at reuniting with their third Deepsea Hunter companion was dampened by this change.

The room had an eerie stillness, as if the air itself had stopped flowing. It was as if you could reach out and feel the blockage.

Bai Ye then realized that the three deep-sea hunters who survived the original "hunting operation" all seemed to have some problems, more or less.

Skadi seems to be the least problematic, but if Bai Ye doesn't realize it, then she's the one with the most serious issues. She's essentially been parasitized by a nascent being. If someone suspiciously induces Skadi to awaken, she could very well become a new nascent being. From then on, the individual named Skadi will be erased, leaving only Isamara.

Specter goes without saying; the poor hunter was captured by the followers of the Deep Sea Church and had highly concentrated Originium liquid injected into her body. Without Bai Ye's help, she probably wouldn't have been able to maintain such consciousness on land.

Then there's Goredia now. Her body already shows signs of sea-like transformation. Although the marks are very small and inconspicuous—just a small scale on her neck—it's still a serious matter. Because, based on current information, sea-like transformation is irreversible and will only gradually deepen, eventually turning her into a monster integrated into the larger group.

In the past, Skadi and her companions dealt with some of the monsters that were actually hunters in disguise.

One after another, Deepsea Hunters were discovered, and Skadi went from being "the last Deepsea Hunter" to one of the surviving trio. Bai Ye didn't know how many more hunters would be discovered, or the true scale of the Deepsea Church...

These are all unknowns.

Moreover, Bai Ye and Goredia now have a natural conflict.

In fact, when Bai Ye learned that Grandia was the second captain, he already felt something was wrong. Moreover, based on Ghost Shark's tone, Grandia's identity was very special and different from the other warriors.

In the past, Skadi and Specter had similar identities, both being hunters in different teams, so there was no superior-subordinate relationship between them. After meeting Byakuya, due to trust and reliance, Skadi listened to Byakuya's words without question.

Now, Kingia has been discovered; she possesses a higher rank and direct command authority over other hunters. Most importantly, she herself believes this is the case; as her superior, it's only natural for her to act this way.

So, when Skadi and Specter face White Night and Grace, whose advice should they take?

Especially when the two people have different opinions.

Although this kind of thing is really ridiculous, it's not impossible. In fact, there were signs beforehand—Gredia considered the Deep Sea Hunters' conversation as an internal matter and didn't want Bai Ye to get involved at first.

Actually, looking at it from another perspective, her thinking wasn't wrong. After all, even after coming ashore, the Deepsea Hunters were still a unified group, and completely different from land dwellers. Even Goredia herself had her own pride as an Agorian.

However, times have changed, adults.

Even a stranger like Bai Ye, who came from a more developed and civilized place, never looked down on the Terrans because of their perceived inferiority, backwardness, and barbarity.

Because Bai Ye knew that the birth of civilization was itself a miracle.

Well, of course, the more important reason is that he's all alone right now. If the Federation fleet and the Ark Starship were also traveling with him, he certainly wouldn't stoop so low as to resort to petty theft and infiltrate the Lungmen Guard Bureau at the start.

Similarly, if Goredia can still establish contact with Agor, and Agor's reinforcements can arrive at any time, then she can naturally remain arrogant.

Unfortunately, she is alone now and seriously injured, so she can only rely on the land people for rescue.

Maintaining this attitude is somewhat unreasonable.

Only someone like Dr. Kal'tsit, who stands at a higher level and treats all individuals equally, would not mind Gretia's attitude as she does now.

In fact, this is also Kal'tsit's own arrogance.

“Arrogance is a sin…” Bai Ye sighed softly.

To be honest, Bai Ye really wanted to know what kind of person Goredia would become once her proud facade was shattered.

-------------------------------------

Goredia opened her eyes.

Her crimson eyes automatically adjusted to the soft artificial light in the room as she felt the soft touch beneath her body.

Although she would compare the living conditions on land to those back home, she now had to admit that it was indeed very comfortable here.

There's no shame in that.

Since the start of the campaign, she has never had a proper rest, and those places, which are only used for short rests and recuperation, naturally do not give her the opportunity or conditions to lie down and sleep comfortably.

Goredia indulged herself for a moment, enjoying a brief moment of comfort, before slowly getting up, at the same time regarding her previous act of pleasure as a form of depravity.

Even after being away from the initial consonant for so long, she never indulged herself.

Perhaps this unprecedented severe injury has changed his mindset, making him more vulnerable.

Goredia thought to herself. Then she saw White Night sitting by the bed.

Bai Ye was holding something that resembled a fruit found on land, along with a small knife.

The fruit twirled nimbly in Bai Ye's hands, and with the knife's cut, the peel was removed circle by circle, captivating Goredia for a moment.

"An apple? Never eaten one before?"

Seeing that Gretia was somewhat dazed, Bai Ye suddenly found her rather cute.

“No, there are similar fruits in the deep sea…” Goredia came back to her senses and shook her head as she replied, “It’s just that we use household helpers to process the fruit; no one does it themselves.”

Even Goredia couldn't handle the peel and flesh with such dexterity; her fingertips and knife worked together to separate the flesh from the peel. The layers of peel, connected together, created a unique kind of beauty.

"Technology is indeed very convenient, but doesn't it feel cold?" Bai Ye cut the apple into small pieces. When Goredia subconsciously thought that Bai Ye would give the fruit to her, Bai Ye put it into his own mouth instead.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Song Lei Di Ya

"..."

Grandia always had a poker face, as if she were wearing a mask. She was used to keeping her thoughts very deep inside, and even when facing the scaly version of herself, she would not directly express her thoughts.

However, people are not machines, and their emotions will always show, especially now that Goredia is relaxed due to her serious injuries and will not be able to strictly control her expressions.

“Look, in your society, isn’t offering fruit to a patient considered a form of care?” Bai Ye used a knife to stab a piece of apple and waved it in front of Goredia.

"..." Goddess didn't speak, but she didn't refute either. Clearly, what Bai Ye said was indeed correct.

"Therefore, no matter how advanced technology becomes, some things will not be easily replaced. Those things that remain are definitely what we need."

As Bai Ye spoke, he casually handed a small piece of the already peeled apple to Gretia, and then took out a new one from his inventory.

“I think you are very special…” Goredia bit into an apple. This was the first time she had ever eaten fruit that had been handled by someone. She had heard that other Agor parents would do the same, but her birth mother never did.

She continued, "Both you and that doctor are very special. You give me a completely different feeling from other land dwellers."

"I started to wonder where you came from."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Like you, I am a stranger who cannot go back to this place for the time being... However, this is not the focus of our discussion right now."

It's time to get down to business.

"Lauren Tina calls you Captain?"

“Yes, Goredia, an Agorian, Agorian Technical Administrator, Honorary Legion Commander, and one of the chief war architects of the Agorian military group ‘Deepsea Hunters’.” Goredia nodded.

This was also the first time she introduced herself to people from the mainland.

In the past, she would not have bothered to do such a thing.

Because those land dwellers don't even know about the deep sea, it's pointless to explain.

"At the same time, you are also the captain of the second battalion."

Bai Ye suddenly realized. Good heavens, this title is longer than Bai Ye's own—this small room can't accommodate so many people.

However, this is enough to show that Goredia does indeed have direct command over the Deepsea Hunters.

but--

“I know your identity is special, unlike other Deepsea Hunters—but I still propose that you cooperate with me in the future, just like Skadi and Laurentina.”

Bai Ye looked into Gretia's eyes and spoke directly.

“Give me a reason,” Greta said without changing her expression.

Bai Ye rolled up the sleeve of his uniform, revealing his right arm.

From the outside, it is no different from other human arms.

Goredia looked down at his arm and saw that Bai Ye had clenched his fist.

Then, with a slight tremor, silver chains gradually appeared on Bai Ye's right arm.

Just as the idea of ​​"Originium Arts," a technology used by land-dwellers, popped into Greta's mind, her body suddenly jolted.

A familiar wave and scent spread through the air.

She would never mistake this feeling, because it was all too familiar—it was the smell of the enemy!

In fact, this was no ordinary enemy, but the powerful, almost hopeless enemy that these deep-sea hunters faced that day—the "god" of the sea!

My thoughts seemed to drift back to that day when all four teams of Deep Sea Hunters were mobilized.

They did succeed; His remains gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. But they also paid too high a price and lost too much…

At first, Goredia even doubted that it was her imagination, but soon she knew that her senses were working normally.

This is specifically designed for hunting prey; it's the hunter's senses.

A sharp gaze pierced Bai Ye. Goredia remained expressionless, but in her eyes, Bai Ye seemed like a dead man.

"What a terrifying look. Please don't look at me like that." Bai Ye laughed without any pressure.

"By the way, both Skadi and Laurentina know this."

"They know you're the enemy, yet they still collude with you? What are you anyway? Hmm? A monster." Goredia said angrily.

It wasn't because of Bai Ye, but because of her hunter.

"A monster?" Bai Ye shook his head. "Miss Goredia, are you talking about yourself?"

"I will take this title as your recognition of my strength... No wonder you possess power that can rival mine. You are also one of them?"

Bai Ye smiled again.

“Miss Goredia, it seems that the Agor leadership is still hiding too much from you. You haven’t yet touched the core of the Deep Sea Hunter Project. In fact, you and I are no different; you yourself are a monster.”

"Shut up!" For the first time, Greta's emotions were directly revealed. Her tone became terrifying, and her expression became horrifying.

But Bai Ye didn't care.

“What are you afraid of? Please tell me, Miss Graceia, why are you afraid?”

As Bai Ye spoke, his gaze fell on Goredia's neck.

The deep-sea hunter followed Bai Ye's gaze and looked down, only to see her open collar and the scales that made her feel ashamed.

Under the soft artificial light, the scales shimmered with captivating colors, and felt slightly itchy and dry, making one want to scratch them.

"Shut up!" Goredia's keen intuition gave her a premonition that Bai Ye was about to say something that would shatter her worldview.

She reached up and turned up her collar to cover her neck.

“Gorgeous Leiti Ya”

"Why is it that you, as an Agor, can fight Haisi?"

Why did the Deep Sea Hunter turn into a monster?

Why do you grow scales?

"—Stop talking!"

Goredia gritted her teeth, realizing she couldn't move. Her body resonated with Bai Ye's right hand, her scales trembling with pleasure, as if this part of her body didn't belong to her, but to another great being.

"There is only one answer—"

“Gorgeous Leiti Ya”

"Agor has combined Haisi's body with yours! You are, in fact, Haisi in human skin! Hahahaha—"

As Bai Ye spoke, he laughed to himself.
