reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

She actually put Mandra in charge of the Little Hill County incident this time, and she might even throw Mandra out to Londinium to test the Sarkaz's reaction later.

What's most interesting, however, is that Mandra actually enjoys this arrangement, as it makes her feel valued and needed by Abrahina. She is Abrahina's right-hand woman, indispensable, and these are the things she has to do personally for her leader.

She even harbors hatred for Abrahma's shadow puppet, her sister Rafishini, the puppet leader of the Deeppool. Mandra believes that the one with the same face as her leader is merely an imposter. She admires the leader and the Drak blood within him, but she also deeply despises Rafishini, who outwardly acts in the leader's place.

What a contradictory guy.

……

"Are you going to let her go?" Outcast asked, looking at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye nodded:

"There's no use keeping this guy here. Let's send him back to that red dragon. Maybe he can be of greater value then."

“This crazy guy could also become an obstacle for us,” Outcast objected.

Bai Ye smiled:

“I have no need to fear the existence of not having a self. Loyalty and dependence are not much different, and aloofness and arrogance are inseparable. Mandela is destined to be just a pawn, and her fate will be decided by the player.”

"And Mandela will never truly understand what his leader wants to do; blind obedience leads to a loss of critical thinking. After all, what's that saying again? Aspiration is the emotion furthest from understanding..."

After speaking, Bai Ye closed the soundproof barrier and then opened the door to the private ward in front of him.

Mandra remained bound in her awkward position, but her wounds had been treated by Shining. Shining was currently in the ward preparing medication for the other patients. Mandra lay quietly on the bed, silent, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Bai Ye could naturally guess why this guy was so obedient—it was because of Shining's presence. Shining always had her own methods for dealing with these less compliant patients; in her ward, she held unquestionable authority.

Mandela must have been taught a lesson, otherwise she certainly wouldn't be so well-behaved.

Bai Ye's entry drew the attention of the two people inside the room.

Mandela looked at Bai Ye with a complicated expression, while Shining looked somewhat helpless:

"Bai Ye, don't make me do such dangerous things again. I'm just an ordinary doctor, I don't have their kind of power."

Both Bai Ye and Mandela couldn't help but roll their eyes. Bai Ye naturally understood Shining's strength; to ordinary people, she was definitely a master. As for poor Mandela, she had personally experienced it, and her physical reactions were certainly genuine.

Bai Ye walked to Mandra's side, who was bound. The Philin sorcerer, with his hands tied behind his back, looked up at Bai Ye silently, his eyes unwavering. Until Bai Ye reached out, a tiny, rapidly spinning wind blade between his fingers, and severed all the ropes binding Mandra, freeing him.

"?"

Only now did Mandra show her confusion; she didn't understand why Bai Ye would suddenly do such a thing. After all, in her mind, Bai Ye was an enemy, and part of the same group as the Storm Commando soldiers she had fought before.

This group of people came from Lontinim, and in her view, they were disgusting lackeys of the empire's repulsive nobles.

Mandela hated those high-and-mighty nobles the most.

However, Bai Ye's current actions were something she couldn't quite understand.

"You go."

Bai Ye removed the ropes that had been cut off her body. The Philin sorcerer, who had been bound and played with for a long time, had poor blood circulation and was numb all over. Her limbs were stiff and she rolled off the bed onto the ground, but then struggled to get up again.

Although she stumbled and fell while holding onto the bed, making it seem as if someone had done something unspeakable to her, she was actually just numb.

However, the red marks left by the rope binding made her look a little strange.

That's it.

However, Mandela disregarded all of that and looked at Bai Ye, saying:

"What are you planning to do? Ugh... You'd better kill me."

"..." Bai Ye rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless. What was this guy trying to do? It was like he was some kind of villain.

Mandra was clearly the leader of the armed forces that invaded Little Hills, wasn't she? Although the will and decision to invade came from Abrahana, the actual implementer was this handsome but ruthless madman in front of us.

“I’ve spoken with your leader… well, the one behind the scenes,” Bai Ye replied.

He then took out the key and unlocked Mandela's sealing shackles.

"Alright, you're free now. You can go back to your master." Bai Ye said, patting her head.

"You?!" Mandela raised his head angrily, his hands clenched into fists. "Aren't you afraid I'll turn your camp upside down?"

Bai Ye shook his head:

“You won’t, because Abrahana has already formed a partnership with me, and she needs you to go to Lontinim now.”

Upon hearing this, Mandela looked at Bai Ye with suspicion and frowned.

This guy was addressing their leader by his first name and even knew many profound secrets known only to the upper echelons of Deeppool. Could it be that he had actually met the leader?

Mandela dared not act this time; since it involved the leader, she had to take it seriously.

"Here, don't doubt me, I wouldn't stoop so low as to lie to you." Bai Ye said, handing a communicator to Mandela. "This was given to me by your master."

Mandela took the communicator and then heard Abrahina's voice on the other end...

Chapter Eighty-Eight Counterfeits

"Is that all?"

Outcast watched as Mandra, after suffering these overt and covert humiliations at the hands of White Night, didn't utter a single harsh word or cause any damage to the camp. Instead, he ran straight out the gate.

This guy left the camp immediately and ran towards Abrahana without stopping.

Bai Ye did not order anyone to stop her, but let her leave.

"That's enough... After all, in name, it was I who brought peace."

Bai Ye made a V-sign as she spoke.

At this moment, he saw that on the game system panel in front of him, which only he could see, several more entries had been added to his legend, including the entry for "Peacekeeper".

"Peace Messenger": Legendary status +3

Description: As an outsider, you venture alone into the heart of the battlefield and, through your personal charisma, successfully persuade the mob to abandon the fight and evacuate Hillshire. You then lead humanitarian relief efforts, restoring peace to this mobile city.

……

Yes, in the end, Bai Ye gained fame; at least now his name is circulating in Little Hill County and the surrounding mobile cities. Sometimes the truth isn't that important; people only believe what they see, and what Bai Ye lets them see.

They believe these things are real, simply because they choose to believe.

"That's it."

Bai Ye finally nodded.

“You once said that you would always respond to those who make this city weep with those words…” Outcast recalled.

“Now, count your sins…” Bai Ye continued her words.

He paused, then continued:

"Actually, I didn't say the whole thing. Before listing the sins of others, we must first reflect on the mistakes we have made."

Bai Ye was never a champion of justice; he was merely a player. Players are, in fact, the embodiment of all contradictions: they are passionate, they are ruthless; they have excellent memories, they often forget; they are loyal to their dreams, they are always ready to compromise; they are willing to associate with saints, they always cooperate with devils; they are calm, they are insane. They are angels, and they are devils.

Therefore, the indigenous people of Terra both love and hate them.

Bai Ye was one of them.

That was true in the past, and it is true now. Bai Ye only hopes that through his efforts, when the players truly arrive as inhabitants of Earth, it won't escalate into a state of genuine conflict. There may be some friction, but ultimately, it can be resolved through human communication and wisdom.

Preventing an ultimate war between civilizations is Bai Ye's ultimate goal, and it's also what Luna wants Bai Ye to do.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye is now almost like a Wallfacer. If a Terran knew all of Bai Ye's secrets and studied him, he would not be able to understand what Bai Ye was trying to do or what the purpose behind all his actions was.

Only Bai Ye himself knows.

This is a secret that cannot be told. Bai Ye can only speed up the plan and resolve all the major problems as soon as possible. Victoria's Sarkaz is one of the unstable factors.

This problem must be solved.

This is the second reason, besides searching for the Breath of the Kings, that Bai Ye is preparing to intervene in the Victorian situation.

It is also the more important one.

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

After sending Mandra away, Bai Ye found another Draco, Raphsini, receiving treatment in another ward.

When Bai Ye entered the ward, the red dragon had already woken up. She was clearly surprised to see Bai Ye, but then breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’ve already spoken with your sister,” Bai Ye said bluntly, then laughed. “What, are you surprised to see me? Did you think I was already burned to ashes?”

"Don't worry, your sister isn't that crazy. She won't burn people to ashes just because she disagrees with someone."

'She really will do that,' Lavshini thought to herself.

Bai Ye was unaware of her inner thoughts, and simply continued:

"At least for now, my relationship with her is a sham."

"Huh?" Lavshini was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Bai Ye to actually cooperate with her sister.

"Then you don't need to go back for the time being. She means you have to stay here with us for treatment," Bai Ye said with a smile.

“She already knows I’m here.” Lavshini wasn’t surprised at all.

When the real mastermind prepares to take the stage, Shadow naturally loses her original value, so she is left with Bai Ye as a hostage.

Bai Ye was unaware of the sister's true feelings towards her twin sister, and he had no intention of interfering in the awkward relationship between the sisters.

However, having a purebred red dragon at hand is not a bad deal.

Unfortunately, bringing this Draco back to Rhodes Island will likely be another major event that leaves Dr. Kal'tsit and the personnel department utterly helpless and their blood pressure skyrocketing.

Bai Ye didn't know what Dr. Kal'tsit's attitude was, but the personnel department would definitely complain about it, and someone would roll their eyes at him for a whole month.

Yes, last time Bai Ye made a big splash, and then the personnel department didn't welcome him for a whole month.

However, Kal'tsit cannot keep this matter of Bai Ye a secret; at the very least, he needs to get advice from that elder.

After all, the old woman clearly knew Victoria far better than he did. In fact, she was once an insider for Sarkaz, an old friend of Theresa who had won the resurrection match; she certainly knew more about what was happening within Lentinium than anyone else.

Over the years, it wasn't just the Grand Dukes of Victoria who were constantly monitoring the situation and developments in Londinium; many other eyes were also watching this supposedly invincible mobile city.

As a former player, Bai Ye knew a lot of random gossip, but lacked a systematic and comprehensive understanding of Victoria and Lontinim. His current knowledge stemmed entirely from Rhodes Island's internal database.

With his access granted, Bai Ye browsed through a lot of internal documents, only then realizing the suffocating atmosphere in Lentinium.

……

Lavshini was clearly unaware of Bai Ye's considerations.

She herself was quite confused. When she tried to escape from the deep pool, she hadn't actually figured out what to do.

"In the end, I'm nothing more than my sister's shadow, a mere imitation..." she murmured, looking at her hands.

“As long as it contains the will to become the real thing, the fake thing is more real than the real thing,” Bai Ye replied.

Chapter 89 Affirmation

The Deeppool forces, known as the "Ghost Force" by the Storm Commandos, quietly withdrew from Hillshire, and the local garrison was scattered by the Deeppool troops, whose camp was destroyed by the White Night.

Colonels who did not follow the rules of the game were personally dealt with by Bai Ye, and the remaining garrison, leaderless, scattered in all directions.

When Outcast learned that the Hillshire garrison camp had become a high-risk area for infection due to the explosion of a dirty ammunition depot, she gave White Night a meaningful look.

Although Bai Ye didn't explicitly say so, and there was no indication that this matter was related to her, she was the only one present who knew Bai Ye's true strength. Outcast found it strange that the garrison's artillery bombardment had ended so abruptly after only one round.

No matter how strong the Deeppool troops are, they cannot forcefully break through the defensive positions of the regular Victoria garrison under artillery fire, nor can they silence all the ground suppression howitzers at the same time in an instant.

The only possibility is that while Bai Ye was generating a shield to block the artillery fire, he also took down the artillery position that the garrison was attacking from beyond visual range.

Although it's unclear how Bai Ye managed to do it, it seems only he, this unfathomable individual, possesses such capability. Protecting everyone while quietly eliminating the source of danger appears to have been the main strategy of this former head of the field operations department during his tenure.

Therefore, this guy will always appear in the most dangerous places, first eliminate the danger for the field operators, and then disappear silently to the next location.

……

“Outcast, it’s time for us to return to Rhodes Island for our reporting duties.”

After completing the handover, Bai Ye prepared to leave.

"Are they leaving already?" Outcast followed Bai Ye to the towering communications tower next to the camp. The two stood on the top of the tower, gazing into the distance.

“Yes, my mission is complete. Dr. Kal'tsit only asked me to ensure your safety, especially your safety, Outcast.” Bai Ye nodded.

"Pfft... She really likes to use underhanded tactics for that bet. If you hadn't shown up in time, I'd probably be left with only a pistol and a magazine..."
