Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Highlight that you will not lose in a fight.

He had not yet realized that his "creature" who was "unfamiliar with him" and "had ill intentions" was secretly inducing him to express his opinion on another "creature" who was "unfamiliar with him" and "had ill intentions".

The "Native Rhodes Island Terminal Service," collectively known as "PRTS," is a powerful intelligence created based on Prissus's consciousness. If Prissus no longer exists, she might serve as Prissus's continuation.

but……

While the prototype still exists somewhere, PRTS's situation is quite delicate: she is not Precious, but rather her sociological role is closer to Precious's "daughter." However, inevitably, she often identifies herself as Precious on many issues—including but not limited to the Otter problem.

Especially the Otter problem.

"What if that 'Black Snake' likes someone that Tallulah likes? How do we handle that?" Kal'tsit asked deliberately.

The three of them were getting closer and closer to the engineering department.

"When faced with this kind of situation, Black Snake handled it based on her own understanding of herself. However, given Black Snake's personality, which was deeply influenced by Koshena, she probably wouldn't like anyone."

"Except... Tallulah."

Kal'tsit froze.

Now there is no way for PRTS to find the right seat.

"Individuals like this often unconsciously shift their stances when faced with different issues."

"Like 'Black Snake,' she maintains Tallulah's stance when facing most issues. Her self-perception is that she has experienced more of Tallulah. However, when facing Tallulah, she will emphasize her identity as 'Koshena' more."

"thus……"

"Ahem, suppose, suppose there is a 'black snake' who likes the person Tallulah likes!" Kal'tsit forced the subject back.

Ott was puzzled: "She will behave as Tallulah!"

Just as PRTS subconsciously thinks of itself as Prisses when facing Otto.

"So... what do you think of this behavior? What do you think of this kind of 'love'?" Kal'tsit directly replaced the previous "like" with "love".

"What do you think of this borrowed 'love'?"

"you……"

Being weird today.

But when Otto thought about it carefully, he realized that he was the culprit.

Now with Amiya's assist, Kal'tsit has changed the topic. He can't remind Kal'tsit!

If we don't analyze this question in a specific context, isn't it just empty talk? Isn't it meaningless?

Despite thinking so, Ott still said truthfully: "Although the seeds of love are borrowed, the fruits cannot all be attributed to the seeds."

“Closeness, exchange, and communication—these are what make the seeds thrive…”

Kal'tsit interrupted Ott's nausea again: "In this case, does 'Black Snake' have the right to ask the person Tallulah likes to remain 'pure' for Tallulah!?"

This means whether PRTS has the right to "catch the adulterer" - to catch Kal'tsit.

Although Ott had no idea he had fallen into a trap, he still said something nonsense: "It depends on whether Black Snake has relevant needs."

"...Tsk."

Chapter 255: Snap

Inside a transparent rectangular glass box, a familiar signet ring hovered in mid-air. On the pristine brass ring, the familiar yet simple Iron Crown emblem glared mockingly at the operators like an eye from the abyss.

Kelsey said coldly: "The body of the inner guard has transformed into this."

Kal'tsit caught Ott's expression and said with conviction, "The emblem on this ring is strikingly similar to the private seal you designed."

"Play the surveillance video."

A familiar voice came from the terminal: "This record involves coordination among multiple departments and requires further authorization."

"..."

Kal'tsit's actions of denying PRTS through Otto did have some effect.

Seeing the cat's pleading eyes, Ott sighed: "PRTS, we need this video."

"...Coordination in progress. Coordination completed."

Although it was a corpse, because Kal'tsit had no interest in studying the inner guard and the collapsed body for the time being, the corpse was not kept in the morgue of the medical department - but was occupied by the engineering department.

The engineering department itself stores a large number of items for subsequent research. Some of them are placed in the ship's warehouse, and some are left in the engineering department's "small treasury".

This small vault temporarily stored a large number of items that needed to be researched "immediately", but most of the engineering department staff were stuffed into the border area to work... During the daytime during holidays, the number of scabs who consciously burned their own time was always a minority, and thus gradually accumulated.

The closed-circuit television on the side began to play yesterday's recording.

In the "glass box", the corpse of the inner guard is lying there. The tentacle structures full of K-style aesthetics have disappeared, leaving only a corpse that is so broken that it is almost human-like.

The time in the upper right corner of the CCTV was jumping rapidly, and the staff on duty at the edge of the screen were also performing a series of comical pantomimes at an astonishing speed.

"Mangels... don't cut your toenails next time you're on duty." Kal'tsit rubbed her brows. "Quickly, bring the medical alcohol and disinfect the workbench."

Operator Caprini said awkwardly, "I'll go right away."

Time continued to tick by, and finally, at a point in time when Otto felt somewhat guilty, the contents of the coffin finally changed.

A black mist lingered over the mangled corpse, gradually filling the coffin and completely obscuring vision. When the mist dissipated, the remains of the Collapse Demon Guard were gone, leaving only a signet ring suspended in mid-air.

Now, the staff on duty at this "small treasury" had been dismissed by Kal'tsit with a legitimate reason. Only Otto, Kal'tsit, Amiya... and PRTS were left inside.

"What do you think about this time point?" Kal'tsit asked.

That was the first time Otto "lost consciousness" in reality since returning from Che City.

Mr. Neiwei is actually in a state where the three orders of reality, evil and Otto are competing with each other.

During his lifetime, the order brought by Otto prevailed, but after his death, the laws of reality prevailed.

but……

Ott closed his eyes and said regretfully, "I'm afraid it's the influence of the border area."

At the moment when Otto "lost consciousness", he had already been brought to the new order of the Terra world through the window of the internal security... like a wild horse running away.

The Order that comes into contact with the "Dark Dungeon" becomes the inner guard of the alien demon, a leader unit, a boss. Therefore, when he is killed, he will naturally drop what he is supposed to drop - orange accessories.

What Ott found strange was: Why is it a family seal ring?

“…” Kal’tsit’s silence was somewhat puzzling, but it was obvious that she had started to let her thoughts wander again.

Since victory is impossible, then redefine victory...

No, being alive is victory.

Survival is civilization.

I'm so stupid, really.

Doc Otter's goal has never changed, only the means have changed.

She said, "I understand."

Kelsey stepped aside and said to PRTS, "Let Doc Otter finish his experiment."

The glass coffin opened and Otto picked up the family seal ring.

From then on, as the inner guard of a small BOSS, he finally completed his perfect life - finger-explosion equipment.

It's worth mentioning that Kal'tsit was a bit distracted when leaving the vault and fell behind the group. The vault door "just happened" to be closed, and "somehow" the vault door encountered a programming problem when identifying her.

Otto saw it all and while he was secretly happy, he also felt that it was time to stop PRTS's behavior, which might interfere with work efficiency.

and many more?

Why did you intervene?

"PRTS, the RIM Billiton specialist, what's the situation now?"

"We've gone beyond the contact range. Based on our average speed before we lost contact, we'll reach the Ultimate Iron Village in about three to four hours."

RIM Billiton is based on Australia, and its primary population is Carteridos (rabbits). These loosely connected rabbits lack a true "central government" or "capital." The Ultimate Iron Tun is merely the largest of RIM Billiton's many mobile cities—hence the tacit understanding that it's the rabbits' capital.

"Refugee resettlement at Facility 14 is nearly complete, and the keel dismantling work is about to begin. I need to ensure the smooth progress of all work, including the materials needed for the new ship." Ott emphasized to the terminal, "During this time... PRTS, I'm sorry to bother you."

For artificial intelligence, they, or they, naturally have a "mission." Most of these missions are manually designed by the Creator - of course, there are also those like Kal'tsit who are intentionally left alone.

PRTS is precisely artificial intelligence with a "mission".

Upon hearing Otto's request, the terminal seemed to completely forget about his cheating and said happily, "The Primitive Rhodes Island Terminal Service System serves the owners of 'Rhodes Island' and the plans of 'Rhodes Island'. This is the entire purpose of the creation of the PRTS system."

Ott just felt something was wrong: PRTS was still poking Kal'tsit.

Although it is the same word, the emphasis in different situations is subtly different...

What is certain is that "Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals" is not particularly "original".

When Kal'tsit rediscovered Rhodes Island, Precious and I, as well as our careers, were still on the island, which was probably the most "original" thing.

However, this is enough.

Otto stroked the terminal, and the deep-rooted sense of loneliness dissipated a little.

"Doc Otter?" Amiya looked at him curiously.

"Who is the cutest little rabbit!?" Otto put away the terminal and held Amiya up high to play.

"Doooooc Otter!" Although the little rabbit didn't quite understand what was happening, he also started to play together.

After being kindly helped by PRTS, Kal'tsit finally passed through the gate and couldn't help but smile.

Click.

This time, PRTS was very resentful and did not include Kal'tsit in the filming.

Chapter 256 Getting Better

1097年1月16日，13:36:55。

Iron Carrot City, mining area outside the city, near Mine No. 28.

Miss Carters hurried to her workplace while her mind wandered.

The security chief was wearing a strange-shaped helmet that also protected his rabbit ears, and was holding another unfamiliar list.

After the Core Circle nations crossed the mountains and arrived in this disaster-ridden land, the lives of the Carters changed dramatically in many ways. The Victorians always laid traps in one way or another to trick Rem Billiton into betraying their own interests.

You could even say that if a Carter saw any piece of paper written in Victorian language in Rem Billiton, he would spit and curse. It's not always accurate, but the locals would definitely feel the same way.

"Minister? What are you holding?" Charlotte, who was originally absent-minded, immediately shuddered.

"Hey! Charlotte! Why are you here so early today?" The security chief greeted her first, then frowned and said, "It's a purchase list sent from the city—they said it was forwarded from Datietun."

"New list?" Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

"They're not buying from us, they're asking us to buy from them!" The security chief cursed. "I bet it's Victoria again!"

"They must have drunk too much lion's milk!" he made up an explanation.

"Why are you so angry?"

The security chief threw the shopping list into Charlotte's hands and said angrily, "Look!"

After saying this, he carried his staff and went down to the mine to inspect it in advance.

Although they were called "security personnel," Charlotte and the others weren't often able to use force. At the mine, they spent most of their time patrolling the area and eliminating dangers.

When encountering mining disasters, they often take the lead in rescuing workers.

From a distance, you can still hear the minister's loud "mumbling".

"Damn it! I have to tell my family! Let the old man and the old lady go to the city and tell them!"

Charlotte unfolded the shopping list and immediately understood why the minister was so angry:
