Arknights, but the family has fallen again

"Then accepting Longmen's commission to assist in the management and protection of the slums seems like a good option." Chen Huijie added, "Of course, once Rhodes Island is fully supplied and the work is handed over, you can leave at any time."

What does "handing over work" mean?

This is a very vague statement.

However, Longmen is not the only one who can unilaterally blur this term...

Chen Huijie uttered a very unsuitable remark: "Dr. Ott, you don't want the infected people in the slums to suffer because they have no one to protect them, do you?"

Otto did not yet have the ability to place spies around Wei Yanwu. It was not until Chen Huijie came to him with this proposal that he was able to confirm that his plan was successful.

Between Lungmen and Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, it is now Lungmen that needs Rhodes Island.

And this means... Longmen's industrial production capacity can be used by him after a series of exchanges.

With the keel of Checheng already ordered, the new vessel should be ready soon.

So... the new high-speed battleship should be a...

Oh, by the way, we are still negotiating!

Ott's fingers stopped drumming on the desk.

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Chen Huijie's mouth.

Hooked!

Yeah, hooked.

Ott thought so too.

"This concerns the safety of the entire Rhodes Island. I can't make any promises now." Ott said, "I must communicate with this ship before making a decision."

If you want to communicate, Otto can communicate now...

"Then, on behalf of the Guards Bureau, I hope that the slums can get their best protectors!" Chen Huijie stood up and stretched out his right hand.

Through the ghost shark's body, Otto could sense that Chen Huijie was a little excited.

Come on, say long live shark!

Otto also stood up and shook hands with Chen Huijie.

Chapter 73: Infamous: Sarkaz

Xingxiong yawned outside the temporary interrogation room, and then saw three people coming.

She greeted him, "Hmm? Lao Chen, Doctor, are you done talking?"

Chen Huijie nodded and asked, "What was the result of the interrogation?"

Xingxiong replied, "Acai and the others are fine."

This may seem a bit ridiculous, but Chen Huijie felt a little relieved.

She pressed, "Where are the others?"

"They..." Xingxiong explained the results of the interrogation.

The interrogation results were similar to what Otto had expected: under the leadership of the "old man" of the Integration Movement, a robbery against Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals was initiated.

Yes, the only difference between reality and Otto's expectations was that this raid was led by those "Reunion veterans" who came to Longmen to recruit new members...

Robbers recruit robbers, lesbians recruit lesbians, and "gorillas" sympathize with each other.

Until the arrival of the Reunion Movement cadres, the attacks on the Rhodes Island base were mostly of this level, so there was nothing surprising about it.

"Very good, escort them to the Imperial Guard Bureau." Chen Huijie turned and said to Ott, "In that case, we will take our leave."

In this case, it seems that there is no need for on-the-spot interrogation at all?

I made dumplings specifically for this dish of vinegar...

At this time, Chernobyl, the site of the Azazel Clinic.

This was once the hope of many people in Chernobyl, but in the end, it was reduced to scorched earth. Even its founders found it difficult to connect this ruin with the clinic it once was.

And on the ruins, stands a Wendigo warrior like an iron tower.

Patriot, Bozocasti.

"You made it so hard for me to find you!" Yelena said unhappily.

"Before departure...paying tribute." The patriot said in an awkward manner.

What are we commemorating? Who are we commemorating?

This hopeless Ursus? His former self? Or his dead son?

The Sarkaz have always been susceptible, but the funny thing is that Bozhukas did not get infected on the battlefield - his Originium disease came from somewhere else.

Originium, a wonderful mineral that can collect various materials including organic and inorganic substances to replicate itself, is full of energy and can preserve consciousness.

"mineral".

That's what the Terrans thought.

However, its characteristics bring to mind many interesting things.

Its vast "recipe" is like some kind of Tai-style planetary mineral enrichment method;

Its self-replication ability is similar to that of nanomachine clusters;

And its ability to retain fragments of consciousness... is like the Sea of Solaris.

To put it bluntly, Originium is the "psychic" version of Gray Gu Storm.

Even if it's just a "natural infection" in a leaderless state, it's incurable. Once it starts to integrate with an individual's body cells, the process is completely irreversible.

As for Bodracasti, half of his body has been replaced by Originium.

The fact that he is still alive is a miracle!

And no matter how difficult it is to speak, the Wendigo still retains the ability to speak.

This is a low-probability event.

"Pay tribute?" Frost Star realized that this topic might not be something she should go into further. What's more, she had other matters to discuss with the Patriot.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I have a question for you..."

With some anticipation, Frost Star asked, "Dad, did you know that someone can take over another person's body?"

The Patriot turned around suddenly, his eyes flashing red.

"Heart-stealer...demon! How...who are you!?"

How do you know about this thing?

Who told you that?

"No!" Froststar quickly shook her head and replied, "I haven't seen the Mind Flayer."

"But someone specifically told me that besides the Sarkaz, there are others who can take over other people's bodies!"

Froststar realized that the Patriots seemed extremely wary of these Sarkaz. She quickly said, "They told me that Tallulah has been taken away by Koscheiche!"

"Take it away!?" The Patriot shouted angrily: "Light... floating!"

He couldn't help but reveal his true feelings to his daughter: "Massacre... an order! Just... having my body taken away, innocence!? How can this be!?"

No matter how she tries to justify it, the order to massacre the city was given by Tallulah. Just because her body was taken away, can we say that Tallulah is innocent?!

Patriot is a stubborn person. His thinking is always too simple and crude, and his strength is so strong that he is incompatible with ordinary people.

But they were foster father and daughter after all. The moment she heard Bozhukasti's true feelings, Yelena instantly understood the patriot's intentions:

He was going to kill Tallulah, he was going to kill Tallulah.

"Father!" Yelena said seriously, "If Koschei really takes over Tallulah's body, the first person we should kill is Koschei!"

"..." The Patriot was silent for a moment, then said, "That makes sense."

And he added: "And then... Tallulah."

Froststar breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "So, besides the Sarkaz, is there really anyone who can take over someone else's body?"

The patriot stumbled, "I've heard... legends. Every generation... Kosice has been cruel and ruthless."

I've heard the legend about Kosice before. Every successive Grand Duke of Kosice has a ruthless streak.

This is not positive evidence.

However, before Frost Star could change her tone, the Patriot's large hand, as big as a palm-leaf fan, pressed on her shoulder despite the severe cold.

"Where is the Heartstealer...Demon?!"

Shuangxing was a little amused and helpless, and quickly opened her father's big hand.

But even after just a short contact, the Patriot's palms began to turn black.

He didn't care at all and kept asking, "Where is the Heart-stealing...Demon!?"

This issue seems to take priority over killing Black Snake and killing Tallulah.

"Father, that man is just a mentalist who showed me some visions." Yelena said softly, "He is not a mind flayer."

But the Patriot's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted angrily: "It's a trick! It's already marked! It will take away the body!"

The Mind Flayer is just a trick used by the Mind Flayer to fool people! Now, you have been marked by it! It may take your body at any time!

Your legend is a bit outrageous!

"The old man is right."

W stepped out from the shadows.

She jokingly said, "White Rabbit still thinks he's a psychic. Could he be hypnotized?"

"You are!"

The moisture in the air instantly combined with the smoke drifting in the ruins, turning into pieces of flying snow like rotten cotton.

W surrendered with both hands and said, "Yes, yes, it's me, the demon clan guy, okay? I came here specifically just to extend a kind word on behalf of someone you mistook for a mind flayer."

Although she had her doubts, she still insisted in front of outsiders.

"ridiculous!"

The Mind Flayer's kindness is ridiculous!

"I think it's quite ridiculous, too." W's slender little finger moved back and forth in his ear canal, as if trying to pull something out of his head. "We've been sold out by him so many times, and yet as soon as he opens his mouth, we're all working for him again."

"Sell... your life? Your Highness?"

The Patriot caught something and gestured for Froststar to step back.

Chapter 74: So, this is not a cure at all!

"Old man, you're really perceptive..." W said helplessly, "But then again, we're mercenaries! We often work for others!"

"It's... too obvious. The Sarkaz... can smell it."

The Hedley family had acted too obviously. Almost all the Sarkaz from Kazdel were aware of their position in the civil war.

The Sarkaz girl seemed to have heard something and argued, "Hey! That's a bit too stupid! He'll definitely start fighting!"

"Even if you say so...tsk..."

Patriot and Froststar, father and daughter, watched W's performance quietly.

W stroked his forehead and said, "That guy..."

She said sternly, "Listen carefully, don't make any move later."

"Could it be..." Frost Star's rabbit ears twitched.

W was very satisfied with this reaction. She puffed out her chest, which was not very impressive, as if she was proud of it. She said, "That's right! That's it..."

"Hello, both of you." The demon girl instantly became "dignified".

You stinky otter! Will you let me finish what I'm saying before I die?!
