Arknights, but the family has fallen again

Still a failure.

This made Otto certain.

Previously, I was able to change accessories at will during combat because the battle on Terra did not count as a dungeon battle in Darkest Dungeon.

And now...

Ott looked at the family seal ring on his hand, which was branded with the Iron Crown, and understood something.

Just like a person is born knowing how to make a fist, but the specific grip strength needs to be measured with a handgrip dynamometer.

Ott has a qualitative understanding of this "dream", but quantitative grasp requires further experiments.

When I fall asleep, I will come here, the home of "Darkest Dungeon 1", Hamlet Town!

If there is no pain in the sternum, it means that this is most likely the spiritual realm.

So it’s not surprising that Ghost Shark came with me. She is an artist who has fallen into “long-term madness”, and it is natural that she is more sensitive to the spiritual realm than ordinary people.

And Skadi was probably chain summoned...

Then why is it Skadi and not Gloria?

Subconsciously, Ghost Shark should be a little closer to her...

This is the borderland between Ott's mind and the world of the Dark Dungeon. The power behind it may originate from another world, but its specific weaving follows Ott's subconscious. Creatures from other worlds are projected into this borderland, becoming "enemies" to be slaughtered.

They may have reactions that appear to be intelligent, but they are only shadows of life.

While Ott was thinking, he whispered, "Ghost Shark, stop."

The nun immediately flipped over and leaped backward, her graceful figure tracing an arc through the air. Her robe rustled, but it barely covered the ghost shark's plump thighs, revealing a hint of white underarms.

“…Lord of All…”

Her eyes were blurred, she knelt beside Otto, clasped her fingers together, and began to pray in a low voice again.

Skadi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ott, "That's a great help."

But she quickly became serious again, and pointed the tip of her sword warily at...the ghost shark.

It seemed that Skadi was still frightened by what she had just done.

"Having said that, what's going on with Laurentina now?"

"The Lord of All Things she mentioned..."

"And where exactly is this place?"

Before Ott could answer, there was a noise in the bushes.

"They just arrived here too, so I'll answer this question."

The person who came was a woman with deer antlers dressed in Ursus clothing.

Her face was gentle and looked familiar to Ott.

"Let me start by introducing myself." The deer girl stroked her chest and said, "My name is Alina."

"I came to this place earlier than you."

Otto was a little dazed: At this point, she should have died!

So how did she get here?

Otto suddenly remembered what he was thinking when Tallulah was in a state of torture.

Was it me who caused this too?

A very weak conditioned reflex stimulated Otto's nerves: It seems so.

Chapter 11 Time Loop × Game Lag√

Are you really dreaming here?

Ott looked at Alina, while the deer girl continued to explain, saying, "Except for the gentleman who fainted, everyone should have seen the carriage, right?"

"Every once in a while, it would come from the end of the old road and flip over at that location."

"But after a while, it would disappear again, come back here from the end of the road, and then flip over."

Skadi asked, "So, have you tried exploring in the direction the carriage departed or is heading?"

The deer girl nodded and said, "If you go a little further towards where the carriage came from, you will inexplicably end up back where it overturned."

"But there are some vicious people blocking the carriage's way..."

"Excuse me, Miss Alina, how long have you been here?"

Alina's expression was gloomy. "I can't remember anymore. The sun here is always in the same position. I can only tell you that it's been more than a week..."

The bounty hunter lady couldn't help but ask, "Then... if we calculate it by eating, how many times did you eat?"

In the absence of a clear way to calculate time, eating frequency can be considered a useful natural clock.

Alina replied: "It may be hard to believe, but here, as long as you don't exercise, you won't feel hungry."

Otto's eyes moved.

This is the game mechanic. In Darkest Dungeon 1, heroes will not consume food if they do not move in the dungeon.

"Time loop...?" Skadi pondered.

She had seen similar works in her hometown of Agor.

But Otto already had a guess in his heart.

This is probably because the current scene lacks the corresponding characters, making it impossible to proceed to the next step.

In the distance, there was another sound of horses neighing.

Alina said, "The carriage is coming again..."

"If you see it with your own eyes, it should be easier to understand, right?"

Skadi, on the other hand, looked back at the path she had split open with one hand and said, "Actually, I understand it now."

The new road that was dug by the deep-sea hunters has now been restored to dense forest.

"But it's better to go and take a look. We definitely can't leave if we stay here." After saying this, Otto half-knelt on the ground and covered the ghost shark's hands with his hands.

He whispered, "Ghost Shark, do you want to come with us?"

Ghost Shark nodded, stood up shakily, and hugged Otto's left arm with both hands.

"Then let me lead the way! After all..."

Alina looked at Skadi: a violent breakthrough, a straight-line player, who didn’t know the way at all.

I looked at Ghost Shark again: he was insane.

I looked at Otto again: He has been unconscious and has only just woken up.

The deer girl smiled and walked in the front row.

Skadi approached Otto.

She had faced the reality - talking to the current ghost shark would be fruitless.

She asked, "What's going on with Laurentina now?"

Otto replied, "Ghost Shark came to Rhodes Island alone to seek medical help."

"She was then what she is now."

"As you can see, it's difficult for us to get any meaningful information from her."

The nun nodded but said nothing.

A hint of disappointment appeared on Skadi's cold face, and she continued to ask, "Then what about the Lord of All Things?"

"Why does Shark...Laurentina call you the Lord of All Creation?"

Ott said, "Rhodes Island currently believes that the Ghost Shark is a nun from a certain church, and the deity served by this church is probably the Lord of All Creation."

church?

Skadi remembered the word.

But let’s pray that Hanhan doesn’t confuse the Lateran and Iberian churches with this “church”.

"And as for why she called me that..."

Ott looked into the ghost shark's gorgeous eyes, and the ghost shark looked back and smiled.

He shook his head and said, "We are not very clear either."

Skadi finally chose to trust the hooded monster in front of her.

A mysterious intuition told Skadi that he was not lying and he had nothing to do with this church.

"Rhodes Island... I seem to have heard of this name."

Otto looked at Alina in front of him and raised his voice slightly: "Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals is a medical company dedicated to treating Originium disease."

Solve the Originium disease?

Alina paused.

"Originium disease?" Skadi muttered the word softly and asked, "This disease seems to be a terminal illness on land?"

"Overland? Are you an Agor? An Agor from Agor?"

Algeria is not only a race, but also a country. Therefore, this seemingly nonsense statement has its own inherent logic - just as an Ursus is not necessarily "from Ursus", an Algerian is not necessarily "from Algeria".

They are more likely to be from Iberia.

By the way, when the word Agor is used as a race, it includes a lot of aquatic species that have nothing to do with each other.

God has mercy on us. Sea urchins are actually counted in the same population as killer whales!

And wolves and dogs are actually two different species!?

Amazing Terra.

Skadi nodded and said, "Both Laurentina and I are."

Ott said succinctly: "I see."

The bounty hunter finally remembered that she hadn't exchanged names with them yet. She introduced herself: "Speaking of which, my name is Skadi."

"I'm Ott."

Skadi repeated softly, "Otter?"

To outsiders, she might seem like a cold goddess, but players all know that she's not cold, she's dull.

"It's a Chinese... Yan-style name. Ou is the surname, Te is the first name. Ott."

"I see." She imitated what Otto had said earlier.

But Alina suddenly realized something. She turned around and said, "Wait, what language are you speaking?"

"I'm speaking Ursus!"

Skadi also realized something, and she replied: "Victorian."

Ott glanced at her.

Not Iberian? Looks like she's headed inland.

Skadi, a deep-sea hunter, awakens on the coast of Iberia, only to find she can't return home and that her presence at the seaside attracts terrifying fish. After a period of uncertainty, she decides to venture inland as a bounty hunter, away from the sea.

In the original story, it was during her time in Casimir that she was noticed and recruited by Old Lynx.

"Dayan language." Ott said: "I'm afraid that in this place, we don't need to worry about language issues."

"I see!" said Skadi.

"Lord of All Things..." Ghost Shark tugged at Otto's collar, motioning him to look forward.

It turned out that the four of them had returned to their old ways.
