reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

"Old Wei said that this tomb is the farthest place Longmen has ever been before."

"I think someone has already told you everything about your background and what happened back then."

"However, I still want to bring you here to see it for yourself."

……

“Aunt Wenyue told me all of this. She told me about Chen Huijie and me,” Talulah said slowly.

“Yes, because Wei Yanwu doesn’t know how to face you.” Bai Ye nodded.

Then, he looked up at the sky:

"I'll go back to Longmen first and come pick you up before dawn."

With that, Bai Ye soared into the sky once more and disappeared from the spot.

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

The queue at Penguin Logistics had ended. Bai Ye went over to check on the situation and saw that his students had already returned to their dormitories, so he left with peace of mind.

Afterwards, he went to the Lobotomy Institute for a visit, saw Snow Chirp who was still working overtime, and then sent her home.

By the time Bai Ye finished doing all this, quite a bit of time had passed.

So he returned to the nameless cemetery.

Talulah sat beside the stone tablet and waved to Bai Ye when she saw him.

Bai Ye noticed that her eyes were slightly red.

"Actually, I have no memory of my father at all. But as for my mother... I think I can understand her pain."

Talulah stood up and looked at Bai Ye.

“Thank you, White Night.” Talulah smiled gently at White Night. “I’m so glad that Requiem Night could come here to see my parents.”

"I'm just worried that you and Old Wei will fight over Edward's matter, that's all. After all, in the end, Old Wei did kill your father," Bai Ye said stubbornly.

Chapter 119 Unattainable Love

White Night's words made Talulah laugh again.

"Bai Ye, so much time has passed, and you really haven't changed at all." She sighed softly.

Talulah's expression was somewhat helpless. Even after knowing each other for so long, Bai Ye was still so awkward. It seemed this personality trait was truly impossible to change.

This guy clearly remembered this incident, and then he specifically brought me here on Requiem Night.

No matter how Bai Ye explained, Talulah wouldn't believe him.

……

Bai Ye turned his head away, pretending not to hear what Talulah was saying.

"Ah, it's dawn." Talulah suddenly looked up at the sky.

A white arc appeared on the distant horizon as the sun rose above the horizon.

"Yes, it's dawn. It's been a long and busy night..." Bai Ye stretched.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"No, it's nothing. Actually, the first half was quite relaxing. The students' power armor felt pretty good to fight." Bai Ye said in a calm tone, sounding very dismissive.

Neither of them spoke after that; instead, they watched the sun slowly rise on the horizon.

Talulah turned her head and stared at Bai Ye's profile illuminated by the sunlight, momentarily stunned.

Seemingly noticing Talulah's gaze, Bai Ye also turned his head, and the two looked at each other, seeing their own reflections in each other's eyes.

Talulah blushed.

She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

However, Bai Ye had already turned his head and looked at the sky once again.

……

Talulah's face flushed slightly, then she seemed to feel both disappointed and relieved, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The timing was perfect; she almost managed to sneak away. She had made a secret agreement with Alina, but she nearly broke it first.

Even if sneaking ahead of Alina would make her feel a little guilty, as it would violate the private agreement they had made together.

'Now is not the time,' Talulah told herself.

Both she and Bai Ye had things to do.

Saying it now will only increase the trouble for both of us.

'I really envy those deep-sea hunters...' Talulah thought to herself.

Compared to Talulah, who has to stay in the core city, the Deepsea Hunters will be able to adventure with White Night, which will surely lead to many interesting things.

With a soft sigh, the girl buried all her thoughts deep in her heart.

To be honest, Talulah's affection for Bai Ye was already at its peak, after all, Bai Ye had helped her countless times from the past to the present. Talulah found it hard to imagine what would have happened if she hadn't met Bai Ye in the first place.

But she knew that what she cherished and possessed now would inevitably be lost.

Talulah has decided that while realizing her own ideals step by step, she must also protect White Night's dream and make the core city his strongest support and shield.

As Talulah said, this will always be White Night's home on this land.

……

Unfortunately, Bai Ye is currently unable to understand Talulah's thoughts.

Although he maintained a close relationship with the two deep-sea hunters, unfortunately, Skadi and Specter were the ones who took the initiative both times.

Expecting him to understand a girl's thoughts is less helpful than letting him directly confront a giant beast.

So, perhaps this can be considered a kind of unrequited love.

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

In the morning, Bai Ye returned to Rhodes Island.

He's been outside for a bit too long; Ghost Shark can't take it anymore.

……

After a short flight, White Night descended from the sky onto the deck of Rhodes Island.

The operators were already used to his appearances; they might be stunned the first or second time they saw him, but they got used to it over time.

So what if it can fly?

That's it.

Rhodes Island's operators are incredibly capable; even if one of them can fly, it's not a big deal.

Everyone's used to it!

However, Bai Ye felt something was off. How come it had become so lively after he had only been gone for a day?

"Who planted landmines in the corridor? W, was it you?"

"And what's with that dilapidated plot of land next door? Rhodes Island doesn't need to buy this kind of abandoned industrial land, does it? What are they going to do with it? Demolish it and sell it as scrap?"

"Why is the hallway so damp? Is it leaking?"

……

In short, a whole host of problems.

Bai Ye finally understood why Dr. Kal'tsit was always so mentally exhausted.

If I'm not here for even a day, this place will be in complete chaos.

So Bai Ye, disregarding the need for rest, began to tackle these messy problems.

The mines weren't set up by W. She hasn't returned to Rhodes Island recently; she's currently in Columbia, helping White Night with his plans.

The water droplets in the corridor were caused by Charmander accidentally starting another fire, which, coincidentally, caused Rhodes Island's fire alarm system to malfunction, triggering all the fire extinguishers in the corridor to activate simultaneously...

Coincidentally, Kroos wasn't on the Rhodes Island main ship when the incident occurred, and a boiler operator eventually solved the problem by shutting off the main valve.

"So, where is Kroos?"

Bai Ye was speechless. He had only been away for a day, yet he had already come up with so many new tricks.

"Kroos got a small plot of land across the street from a mining company in Rembitox, which was a kind gift from them. There was nothing on it except ruins... Kroos was messing around with some things on it."

Amiya explained with a wry smile.

"Outrageous..."

How did the head of Rhodes Island's engineering department suddenly become a garbage king?

Could it be because she suddenly let loose while Dr. Kal'tsit was away?

……

"What are you arguing about?"

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.

The voice sounded very familiar. Bai Ye turned around and saw that, sure enough, Dr. Kal'tsit had walked onto the bridge from outside.

"You're out of prison?" Bai Ye asked in surprise.

"He was never locked up in the first place—" Dr. Kal'tsit frowned, "Are you looking forward to it?"

"Of course—no." Bai Ye said something he didn't mean.

However, he also felt relieved.

The short but long agency work has finally come to an end.

Working at Rhode Island is really like being in prison...

Let's leave the rest of the problems to Dr. Kal'tsit.

"Well done."

Dr. Kal'tsit suddenly spoke up, praising him.

"Don't make me do this again next time..." Bai Ye sighed. "I'm much better suited to the job of an adventurer than a starship captain."

Dr. Kal'tsit remained noncommittal.

At least, he's more reliable than Kroos.

Chapter 120 Kannot

Kal'tsit's sudden return finally freed White Night from her hectic official duties.

Although he had only taken over the old woman's job as acting captain for less than a month, Bai Ye felt very tired.

Especially when he returned to Rhodes Island after only one day away, finding it in complete disarray, he nearly had a heart attack.

He now understood why Dr. Kal'tsit was always so short-tempered.

It's not because the older woman has reached menopause.

He criticized Kal'tsit when he was young, understood Kal'tsit when he grew up, and became Kal'tsit when he matured.

Oh well, in the end, let's just forget about it...

Bai Ye doesn't want to become an old woman.

……

After all, it was Kal'tsit. After her return, Rhodes Island seemed to have found its backbone again, and everyone settled down, finally feeling a sense of groundedness.

That's probably the sense of security that older women bring.

Even after losing the Doctor, Rhodes Island continued to operate under Dr. Kal'tsit's leadership for three years, proving that the Doctor wasn't actually that important to Rhodes Island. But what if Rhodes Island lost Kal'tsit for three years?

Probably no one dares to imagine what will happen next.

In short, with the powerful return of Kal'tsit, the messy things from before were finally resolved one by one.
