Sometimes, the wheel of time will magically move backwards.

Rhode Island's oripathy manual describes in detail the entire process from infection to onset of the disease, and proposes many scientific and practical solutions for preventing and alleviating oripathy, as well as emergency treatment methods for critical illnesses.

However, due to the differences in economy, politics, culture, technology, and religious systems among the countries of Terra, many problems would arise if this medical knowledge were spread recklessly.

For example, some religions believe that mineral sickness is proof of guilt, some believe it is a test from the gods, and some even (said to be the Sargon region) have developed a belief similar to the worship of Originium. If Rhodes Island suddenly spreads this knowledge, under the deliberate interpretation of some people, this behavior will become a blasphemous act of "using mortal hands to touch the power of gods", and I am afraid that the fanatics of various sects will be happy to embark on a journey to Rhodes Island to test the purity of their beliefs.

Some of them were economic factors. For example, many companies in Colombia were making a fortune from the "special medicine for oripathy". They spread anxiety about oripathy in various media every day in order to attract patients to invest all their savings in this bottomless pit. The simple medical plan summarized by Rhodes Island would inevitably affect their profits. Therefore, the capitalists in Colombia spontaneously united into a group to exclude this "troublemaker". This was also the reason why Rhodes Island could not settle in the capital of Colombia and could only hide in a corner of Cast Iron City.

There are also political factors. For example, in Ursus, if Rhodes Island's medical manual is promoted in Ursus, then the Empire's "Infected Shelter Hospital" will arouse people's suspicion, and the political propaganda that demonizes the infected will also be untenable. All the infected will clearly see the hope of life and hate the Ursus Empire that deceived them even more.

The power of hope is far greater than blind despair. Driven by the instinct of survival, everyone will cling to this hope, and the foundation of the empire will be shaken. Large-scale unrest among the infected will also become possible. The rulers of the empire are not fools, so naturally they will list this kind of books as banned books.

This is the impact that a small medical manual can have.

Kal'tsit narrowed her eyes and looked at White Wolf steadily: "You want to spread the Ore Disease Manual in Ursus?"

"Yes, Kal'tsit, as you said before, there are still many errors in the manual that need to be corrected, so I hope, I hope you can help." What she wanted to say was that she hoped Rhodes Island could help, but when the words came to her lips, she changed them to hoping Kal'tsit could help.

"The infected people in Ursus are indeed suffering from oripathy, but have you ever thought about the possible side effects of this manual?" Kal'tsit asked knowingly.

The white wolf lowered his head and remained silent.

In fact, when she first started writing the "Manual", she didn't think so much. She just wanted to let the infected people learn more theoretical knowledge and improve their quality of life, but in the process of writing, she gradually came up with a vague idea.

Just before leaving the Reunion Movement, when Alina excitedly told her that this book was of great significance, more important than anything the Reunion Movement had ever done, lightning suddenly flashed through her head, her arms couldn't help but tremble, and her vague thoughts became as clear as a mirror in that instant.

With the current scale and isolated situation of the Integration Movement, it is simply a fantasy to mobilize a large number of infected people. While Ursus is madly persecuting the infected people, it is still using iron-fisted measures to maintain superficial calm.

She could foresee that once this booklet of hope spread, it would become like a stone thrown into a pond, disrupting the entire situation. All actions of the Reunion Movement would be facilitated, and the "Hope of Rhodes Island" would bring more infected people. But she didn't know if the infected people could see the "Hope of the Reunion Movement" after the storm.

When White Wolf raised his head again, his expression was both determined and painful. "Kal'tsit, in Ursus, I have seen too many tragedies that should not have happened. In invisible corners, such tragedies will be repeated thousands of times. If I didn't know anything, then we could still live in peace. But now, I have seen and heard it."

Amiya's brain was about to shut down. She carefully watched the conversation between White Wolf and Kal'tsit, trying hard to discern their meaning. She felt that since the teacher mentioned the "side effects", the following situation would be completely unbelievable.

She didn't understand Miss White Wolf's silence, nor did she understand the complex expression on the teacher's face. She only knew that the two were talking about something very, very important, and she could only watch from the side, nervous, worried, and helpless. This scene was so similar to a few years ago, when the Tower of Babel was still there, and everyone was...

Amiya quietly poured two cups of tea and quietly left the room. She looked at the thriving Rhodes Island and realized more deeply that she still had a lot to learn. She couldn't stop, not until she could see as far as Kal'tsit.

In the office, Kal'tsit looked at White Wolf steadily, thinking about her decision, or rather, she was looking at the entire Reunion Movement, analyzing the path and future of this organization.

Two focal points appeared in her eyes, one was the Reunion Movement, and the other was Rhodes Island. Countless routes extended from each of the two focal points. She stared closely at the intersection of them, hoping to calculate every possible outcome.

As expected, she failed again. Her overestimation of her own abilities had been proven in the era of the Tower of Babel. She thought she was extremely wise, but she could not have anticipated Theresa's final choice, nor the disappearance of the Tower of Babel.

Human power has its limits after all.

"Why did you come to me?" Kal'tsit sighed.

Bai Lang knew the other party's subtext was "Even if the manual is not perfect, as long as it is 80% accurate, it is enough to achieve the goal." This is indeed the case. She could have used the completed manual as the final draft, but she didn't. She came all the way to find Kal'tsit with other ideas.

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Kal'tsit continued, "If you are worried about any impact on Rhodes Island, then there is no need to worry. Rhodes Island's manuals have always been open to the public. Everyone can borrow them here and spread the contents. As long as it is not a deliberate act of our ship, no force can embarrass Rhodes Island because of this."

"Kal'tsit." White Wolf finally spoke, with hope on her face and confusion in her eyes. She murmured, "There are still many errors in the manual, but I can't see them clearly or distinguish them. You have seen and know enough, so I want to know if you would be willing to help revise them."

Volume 3: Chapter 8 No Answer

Even Kal'tsit, who claimed to know everything, felt a little confused at this moment. She knew that White Wolf was actually asking her whether this idea was feasible. If she nodded and agreed to modify the booklet that would cause an uproar, it would mean that she personally approved of this path.

However, whether she agrees or not, it will not have any impact on this path. In this case, why should such a complicated and troublesome problem be handed over to her for evaluation? She also understands that this behavior itself is a great trust. Therefore, the core point of confusion appears, why can White Wolf trust herself so much.

Since she saw the shadow of that person in the other person, her attitude might be a little better when the two of them were together. That was also why she secretly helped the other person solve some small troubles, such as preventing Hong from making trouble, but these white wolves definitely didn't know about it.

It would not be quite right to say that the conditions offered were relatively favorable. The other party signed a cooperation contract with Rhodes Island, and these conditions were also promised in the contract.

Kal'tsit really couldn't think of any reason why she was trustworthy. On the contrary, her opponents often gave her negative comments such as being cunning, insidious, cold and hypocritical. She had long been accustomed to these and accepted them with pleasure.

But Bai Lang is definitely not the kind of naive girl. Just like Theresa, she can easily see through and understand her dark side, and she definitely knows how much risk it takes to trust such a person. So, why is it?

She looked at the white wolf in silence and confusion, and asked herself: There is no trust without reason, so why should there be such a request?

If Bai Lang knew that the other party had experienced such a complex psychological change in a short moment, she would be shocked and feel inferior. The reason why she trusted the other party was actually very simple:

As a confused time traveler, all her knowledge of Rhodes Island was concentrated on three names: Kal'tsit, Amiya, and Doctor. She knew nothing else. For a long time, she even took it for granted that Rhodes Island was a real island and that she should row a boat there.

Although she had good intentions towards these three names from the beginning, it was just good intentions. She was also cautious. After all, Terra was a real world and nothing could be taken for granted. It was her later personal experience that gradually made her let go of this guard. She felt the kindness from Rhodes Island, and her original kindness was doubled and transformed into trust.

Normally, the first condition for understanding a riddler's meaning is that both parties are on the same channel and have the same level of sensory data. White Wolf does not understand Kal'tsit's doubts, so he cannot accurately interpret the other party's silence.

She thought this was a silent rejection.

A sour feeling came over her. It's nothing, she thought, it's really nothing, anyway, I didn't have any hope, yes, I never had any hope, this kind of thing should be buried in my heart, I can solve it myself, it's normal for others not to care about your thoughts.

No matter how she comforted herself, the bitter sadness in her heart still spread like a cloud, obscuring Kal'tsit's figure. She tried her best to suppress her inner emotions and forced a smile:

"Ah, look at me, I even forgot about that. There are so many copies of the Rhodes Island manual, I can just pick one and modify it myself."

Kal'tsit was stunned for a moment. She still couldn't figure out what White Wolf meant.

"Well, I won't disturb you from working. I, um, will leave first." At this time, Bai Lang was quickly adjusting her mentality. She smiled with relief, took two steps back, turned her head and turned around.

Kal'tsit sighed silently. She didn't support or oppose this matter. She just let White Wolf make his own decision. Her long-standing habit of doubting everything still influenced her thoughts: Why would the other party be willing to trust her? From a rational perspective, this was problematic and an absolute destabilizing factor.

She watched the white wolf stand up and nod to her, and her body nodded spontaneously in response, but her mind was still constantly analyzing and deducing, trying to find some rational and logical answer.

Time stretched and slowed in her eyes. She calmly watched the white wolf walk away step by step. Her face was calm and composed, as it had been flowing through countless years and would continue to do so...

However, the peace was suddenly broken.

The calmness was gone, rationality and logic disappeared. The moment White Wolf opened the door and walked out, a strange, inexplicable pain suddenly appeared in Kal'tsit's heart. She suddenly felt that she was going to lose something forever, and a kind of panic as if she had stepped into the air and fell into the abyss gripped her.

"Come back!" she shouted instinctively.

White Wolf standing at the door turned her head curiously. She felt that Kal'tsit's voice seemed a little strange. Although she was confused, she still walked to Kal'tsit as she was told.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Nothing." Kal'tsit was already sitting at her desk. She was focusing on the documents in front of her and said expressionlessly, "Leave your book here. I'll take a look at it when I have time."

While speaking, she used her right hand to pick up the pen on the table. Perhaps because the pen was too slippery, she took it twice before she could hold the pen in her hand.

Sometimes, it’s not Miss White Wolf’s fault that her IQ is not online, but the contrast of various situations is too great for her to understand for a while.

She was genuinely confused and said, "Isn't it said that Rhodes Island has many copies? I can just find one for reference."

"Those copies are about to become outdated, and I have to organize the latest information myself." Kal'tsit had to explain patiently.

"Oh, then I'll leave it here." White Wolf thought the other party was right, so he nodded and agreed, and then asked, "Anything else?"

"Gone."

"I'm leaving."

She left the office happily, but soon realized that something was wrong. Why was she so happy? She walked and thought, and suddenly she understood.

Kal'tsit had finally calmed down and was about to start processing documents when there was another knock on the door. Before she could say "come in", the overjoyed Miss White Wolf pushed the door open by herself.

"Kal'tsit, Kal'tsit, do you also approve of me? Do you also think that this is right?" White Wolf couldn't wait to run to her, put his hands on the table, and blinked his bright eyes.

Kal'tsit felt that the relationship between them seemed to be the same as before. She nodded helplessly and said seriously and cautiously:

"In fact, we cannot be sure whether the choice is right or wrong, but from my personal standpoint, I support your decision."

"That's enough, that's enough." Miss White Wolf replied happily.

Volume 3: Chapter 9: Beach Vacation

After disturbing Kal'tsit for half an hour, the overly excited White Wolf finally realized that her behavior was inappropriate and she had seriously interfered with the other person's work.

So, when Amiya came over with a pile of documents, she tactfully left the office.

According to the information just received from Kal'tsit, Angelina had just been on a mission and would definitely not be back for a while. After Platinum returned from Casimir, he stayed in Rhodes Island for a while and suddenly ran away. It was unknown whether he received a mission from the No-Heroes Alliance or went on vacation. The personnel department of Rhodes Island was also very troubled by such elusive cooperative operators. They always had no time to register and could only rely on the operators to take the initiative to leave their contact information, but in most cases, no one could find these operators. Platinum, Skadi and others were among them.

There is another matter about Longmen. Kal'tsit has already been communicating with Mr. Lin. After the discussion, she will have to go to Longmen. When she arrives at Longmen, she will also have to discuss the purchase of supplies with the Dagu Group. The thought that the troublesome Officer Chen might find her gives her a headache.

Not only that, since she had to do a blood source stone density test every few days, she might have to travel back and forth between Longmen and Rhodes Island, taking a taxi for more than three hours each time, which was painful just thinking about it. Fortunately, she still had a few days of free time, so she just wanted to delay it for a day.

It was almost time for lunch, but White Wolf did not eat in the restaurant. Instead, he bought a lot of pastries, snacks and drinks, packed them up, and left the Rhodes Island ship with these things.

She was going to look for Miss Skadi. Actually, she originally wanted to invite Skadi to have dinner together, but after the phone call, she found that she was on the beach and didn't want to come back. Then she had an idea to go to the beach for a picnic.

The temperature at the beach in October was neither too cold nor too hot, just right. White Wolf walked onto the beach, squinted her eyes comfortably and enjoyed the sea breeze blowing in her face for a while. Her whole body felt itchy and her mood became relaxed.

Not far away were some Rhode Island employees who were on vacation. They moved chairs and sat or lay down, some chatting, and some quietly looking at the sea.

The White Wolf stared at the vast sea for a while, then remembered that she had important things to do, so she walked along the coast. She estimated that Skadi should be somewhere far away from the crowd.

After walking dozens of steps on the soft beach, her shoes were filled with sand. She gradually began to regret not bringing a pair of sandals. After walking a few more steps, she had no choice but to stop, take off her shoes, and hold them with her free left hand.

She took a step forward and stopped again. This time it was for other reasons. She felt the numbing and itchy sensation caused by the direct contact between the sand and the soles of her feet went straight into her bones, and those flowing small particles had to make trouble for the soles of her feet.

The white wolf endured the strange feeling and continued to move forward with difficulty. Soon, she got used to it all and walked faster and faster. She even looked for some bulging sandbags and stepped on them to make a pit.

Before she knew it, she had walked a long, long way along the beach, to a place that the Rhodes Island employees were too lazy to go to, and Miss Skadi finally appeared.

She sat on a rock, her head slightly tilted, staring at the sea in a trance, not noticing anyone approaching.

White Wolf originally wanted to shout, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly became playful. She quietly put the things in her hand away, then tiptoed towards Skadi.

She gradually approached from behind Skadi, one step, two steps, getting closer and closer...

But the other party just sat there in a daze, without any reaction.

When the distance between the two sides was reduced to one meter, the white wolf had achieved her goal. Her eyes lit up and she pounced forward.

She was fast, but Skadi was even faster. In almost an instant, Miss Killer Whale turned around and grasped her weapon, ready to intercept the uninvited guest. Fortunately, she recognized Miss White Wolf at the critical moment and let go of her weapon, thus avoiding the tragic accident of a bloody head injury.

However, this sudden turn caused Skadi to lose her balance. She was knocked down by the white wolf and fell from a half-meter-high reef onto the sand.

After a brief feeling of weightlessness, White Wolf felt her forehead hitting Skadi's chin, so she raised her head and looked at Skadi under her in a daze. She still couldn't figure out what was going on. She originally just wanted to pounce on Skadi to scare her, but how did she suddenly fall here?

Skadi was even more confused than her. She had no idea why Miss White Wolf suddenly appeared here.

Anyway, the situation was very strange, Skadi was lying on the sand with the white wolf lying on top of her.

This time, White Wolf reacted faster. She climbed up from Skadi, sat down on the ground, rubbed her forehead, and asked, "I just hit your chin. Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Miss Killer Whale felt quite comfortable lying on the sand, so she didn't get up immediately, but continued to stay where she was.

"Then get up."

"Don't get up."

"Are you blaming me?"

"Do not blame you."

"Then why don't you get up!"

“It’s very comfortable to lie in the sand.”

White Wolf had no way to deal with Miss Killer Whale who was lying there, so he ran over to get some snacks.

As soon as Skadi saw the white wolf walking away, she immediately sat up. When she saw that the other party was just going to get something, she lay down lazily again.

"What is this?" she asked curiously.

White Wolf replied proudly: "It's delicious. You must have skipped lunch this time."

"A qualified bounty hunter only eats twice a day." Skadi said seriously.

"Oh, according to your standards, you are the only qualified hunter in the world. Do you want to eat it?"

"Don't eat."

The White Wolf took out a small cake, sniffed the fragrance, and deliberately dangled in front of Skadi:

"It's super delicious, and the quantity is limited. Miss Hunter, the most powerful hunter in the world, do you want it or not?"

Skadi sat up, snatched the cake from White Wolf, then leaned against the reef and tasted it in small bites.

"I want more." After she finished one, she was not satisfied but felt her appetite had been whetted.

White Wolf handed the entire bag of snacks to Skadi, then imitated her, leaning against the reef with her legs half buried in the sand. She then realized that the distance between them, separated by a book, seemed a bit far, and before she could think of a solution, Skadi rubbed towards her, so that they could sit side by side.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I have a day off this afternoon, so I came here to take a look around. Hey, Skadi, what were you looking at just now? You were so engrossed."

"Sea, what do you think of the sea?"
