They looked at Ceobe, who became cheerful and skipped away after leaving the room. They looked at her for a long time until she completely disappeared from their sight.
The two of them fell strangely silent again.
After a long time, the doctor was the first to break the deathly silence.
"You seem more human than before."
"Are you saying that I was cold and inhuman before, no different from a machine?"
The doctor was speechless for a moment. It was not that he could not refute, but he thought of Rhodes Island, its heavy history, and what he owed. So he just stood there silently and passively accepted the scolding. In fact, it could not be considered a scolding, but just a habit that the other party could not change.
Kal'tsit looked at the other party without saying anything, and softened her attitude a little.
She is indeed much more humane than before, perhaps due to the influence of the Doctor. In any case, it’s not a bad thing, is it?
"You can't pamper them too much. If they make a mistake, they must be corrected promptly, rather than just brushed aside. Especially on the battlefield, such small mistakes can be fatal."
"But this is not a battlefield."
The doctor originally planned to listen to her nagging silently like Ceobe, if this would make her feel more at ease, but he heard the anxiety in her words. No matter what the reason for this anxiety, the doctor hoped that he could help her.
Besides, he probably guessed the reason.
"Yes, but what if she made the same mistake on the battlefield? If the seriousness of the matter wasn't made clear, she might think disobeying orders was harmless and even receive special care. This would inevitably lead to even worse consequences on the battlefield."
Kal'tsit said a lot of things in a row. The words seemed to be full of majesty, but they could not withstand any careful scrutiny. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that they were filled with worries and fragility.
This was the first time the Doctor saw Kal'tsit so out of control.
Perhaps in a sense, for Kal'tsit, the Doctor has become a person she can rely on, even if it is only for a short time, and she herself may not even be aware of this problem.
"You should have more trust in the operators. Over such a long period of cooperation, they've never refused my command on the battlefield, nor have they ever made any mistakes. They act with such precision, without any delays, and won't even be hindered by any unexpected circumstances. You should trust them, and you should trust me even more."
The doctor used a gentle tone to persuade and persuade the other person, trying to calm his emotions.
"Believe it? You've disappeared many, many times. Amiya has worried about you countless times, and many operators feel the same way. Maybe Rhodes Island is important to you, but it's definitely not the most important. They regard you as the core, and you are an indispensable part of Rhodes Island. Everyone is concerned about your safety. Amiya has feared countless times that you would never return. There was even one time when you returned, you were carried back by someone. The medical team spent a whole week to ensure that you had no more sequelae."
Kal'tsit was really angry. The gnashing of teeth in her tone could be heard by any careless operator. Even though she was looking up at the Doctor with great effort, it was the Doctor who was losing ground.
It was only then that the doctor realized the problem wasn't so easy to solve. This time, the problem was his own, and he couldn't easily make a promise to the other party. He felt that he didn't know when the chat group's tasks would come, nor did he know when the people in the chat group would need help.
So he could only look people in the eye, squatting down to look at them seriously and sincerely. "You should trust me a little more. I know my performance isn't always perfect, at least not completely. But at least now, I've never let you down. In every war, every alliance, every mediation between the complex web of forces, I've never made a mistake."
"There's no need to put too much pressure on your shoulders. I know Rhodes Island went through a dark period before I came here. It had no goals, no direction, let alone a future. But I've gotten over it now. I don't want you to be as anxious as I was when I didn't accomplish anything, even though I've already done so much. This shouldn't happen."
Kal'tsit looked at the Doctor in silence for a long time, until the sunset began to set in the sky. She hadn't said a word before that, and now it was time for her to turn around and leave.
Before leaving, Kal'tsit seemed to have thought of something and turned back to speak.
"You seem to care about the man named Bonebreaker. I don't understand why, but if you insist on saving him, then we trust you."
The Doctor breathed a long sigh of relief. Kal'tsit's trust was not something that could be easily taken on.
281 Daily life in chat group
[Iron Man] Ordinary rich man: @Brother of the unknown person nailed in the coffin, I have got what you want.
[Chess Player] The nameless person nailed in the coffin: Really? I'll be there right away. No, I can't get there right now. I can only ask you to temporarily transfer all the information and items over.
[Iron Man] Ordinary rich people: Minor problem, but the function is still a bit imperfect. It can only alleviate the symptoms of severe mineralogy, but for those with mild cases, it can reach the bottom line of cure.
[Chess Player] The nameless person nailed in the coffin: ...Thank you, I know it doesn't make sense to say this kind of thing, but this medicine is so important to me, so important that I can't even describe it in any words.
Iron Man: Ordinary rich people: Why say thank you? If you really want to thank me, just spread this medicine around and save as many people as possible. I'm a hero after all... I've been stuck at home doing research for a long time, and if it were me, you'd do your best, right? We're all in the chat group, we're all friends, we know each other well, right?
[Chess Player] The unknown man nailed in the coffin: So you are a hero, and I can only be a doctor from Rhodes Island.
[An ordinary rich person gave out a red envelope]
[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: I haven't forgotten the scene where you helped me, I will never forget it in my life. By the way, I have already developed a preliminary antidote for the great cellular disease, but due to the lack of detailed experimental data, I have no way to guarantee that the antidote can work so accurately, so I will send you some samples here, and remember to report to me after you have tested the results.
【Weapon Master】A Great Cell: ??? You took down two at once???
[World Manipulator] Fanatical Master Architect: "Damn it, Stark, are you exaggerating like that? Compared to you, I suddenly feel like a nobody."
【Traveler】Have you seen my sister? : I am a salty fish myself.
[Balanced Scientist] Great Scientist: Salted fish can at least be eaten. I feel like I am just a pile of rotten food. It has no meaning except to become fertilizer.
[World Manipulator] Fanatical Builder:! Do you look down on fertilizer, or what? Bone meal is always the god, okay!
[Balanced Scientist] Great Scientist: ...That's right, I can only be regarded as a piece of rotten wood soaked in sea water. I have no value at all. I can't even be made into planks or burned as fertilizer.
[Judge] A skeleton with only one bone: This existence is even more depressing than a depressing ghost╮(╯_╰)╭
[World Manipulator] Fanatical Architect:! That's not what I meant. What I meant was that even fertilizer has its value, and you have your value!
[Balanced Scientist] Great Scientist: I understand. At least my presence adds one more person to the group. At least when doing tasks, you can add me to make up the number. Maybe I can really play a small role.
【God of the Void】Ghost: Want candy? @Great Scientist
[World Manipulator] Fanatical Master Architect: Hey, ghost, don't lose sight of the big picture! Give me some too, I want some too.
【Traveler】Have you seen my sister? : I kind of want her too
As the ghost started bubbling, the chat group suddenly exploded. Except for the newcomer who hadn't spoken a word, almost everyone popped their heads out and started asking for candy.
[The ghost distributed a red envelope]
[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: Candy is nice, but ghost, what suddenly made you think of posting this?
[God of the Void] Ghost: Because Wilson looks very sad. Eating something sweet will make you happier when you are sad.
【Balanced Scientist】Great Scientist:! Woo woo woo, thank you thank you thank you.
[God of the Void] Ghost: Don’t you like candy?
【Balanced Scientist】Great Scientist: How could that be? Of course I like it!
[God of the Void] Ghost: But you look even sadder.
[Balanced Scientist] Great Scientist: No, no, no, no! I'm very happy, not sad! I'm just crying tears of joy, seriously!
[God of the Void] Ghost: Do you need more?
【Balanced Scientists】Great Scientist: That’s Enough
On the Famine side, everyone looked at Wilson, who had been with them for a long time and whose true nature was almost exposed. He was holding a pile of candies and grinning foolishly. They couldn't help but look at each other for a while, then turned their eyes away and pretended not to see him.
[Traveler] Have you seen my sister?: As expected of a ghost, Wilson seemed to have suddenly snapped out of his dejected state.
[Judge] A lone skeleton: I always feel like everyone is very busy, except me.
[Traveler] Have you seen my sister? : Not really. I'm pretty free, too. So free I'm a bit bored, almost like I'm going to grow grass.
[Chess Player] The nameless person nailed in the coffin: Ah, I've been so busy for you I'm almost speechless, but for some reason, hearing the words "long grass" (long grass) always feels quite touching? This is really strange.
[Iron Man] Ordinary people are all rich: Sans, I'm not complaining about you, but your so-called leisure time over there, isn't it really because you're lazy?
【Iron Man】Ordinary rich man: Sans?
【Iron Man】Ordinary rich man: @A skeleton with only one bone???
【Iron Man】Ordinary rich people: I know it
[Traveler] Have you seen my sister? : Being lazy is human nature, nothing strange about it. Uh, this statement should also apply to skeletons.
[Chess Player] The nameless person nailed in the coffin: By the way, I think there should be a mission starting soon. It’s supposed to be a personal mission, but I think I should be able to find a bug and make some money from the chat group. Do you want to come over early?
[Iron Man] Ordinary Rich Man: Sure. I actually want to discuss some biological knowledge with your medical department. This is a good opportunity to make the transfer of information easier.
[Traveler] Have you seen my sister? : I'll be right there. I'm just bored here.
While the people in the chat group were still responding, the ghost had already clicked the teleport button and disappeared from the meeting in a dignified manner, leaving only Chunchun and Green to help it hold the scene.
282 The Ghost's Visit and the Unlucky Zilan
Terra continent.
21:20
Rhode Island Personnel Department.
The setting sun gradually came to an end, and the red glow that dyed half of the building also quickly faded away. Soft light emanated from the building, illuminating the spacious interior as bright as day.
People were busy, and Zilan's desperate and helpless sighs were heard among them.
"I knew that if Ifrit found a chance to sneak in, terrible things would happen. Ah, she's an even more serious problem child than Yue Jianye."
She looked through the completely wrong resumes with a tired look on her face. The resumes that had been submitted before were burned to ashes by that kid. In order to avoid punishment, Ifrit actually stuffed in the extra-photocopied resumes of Rosalina, Cross and others. This would not only increase her workload in vain, but would probably make the usually calm doctor lose his composure.
"Ah, the workload has increased again, and I have to work overtime." She closed her eyes painfully for a while, and after a moment she seemed to have figured it out, changed her posture, and sat elegantly on the chair, picking out the extra resumes.
He was sitting behind the counter, searching slowly, when he heard something knocking against the counter, making a crisp sound.
Zilan suddenly raised her head from the pile of documents, but there was nothing there. However, the sound continued. She placed her hand on the emergency button next to her with some caution, looked around and saw a corner of the pure black cloak.
She turned around curiously, and saw a child wearing a white mask and a black cloak standing there, holding something that looked a bit like a weapon, and slowly knocking the counter with the object in his hand.
As soon as she turned her eyes away, the child also turned his gaze back and looked at her with an extremely innocent expression.
This innocent look made her feel inexplicably guilty. Zilan immediately released her hand that was pressing the emergency alarm button. With a dignified posture, she bent down and wanted to reach out to touch it, but felt it was not a good idea, so she just asked with a smile.
"Little boy, why are you here? Who brought you here?"
In fact, the ghost just looked at her calmly and shook his head slowly after thinking for a moment.
Zilan was stunned for a moment. Could this be the child who sneaked in while Rhodes Island was docked somewhere? If that was the case, it would be terrible.
"What about your family? Do you remember their phone numbers? Do you remember the location of your hometown?"
Family? It probably refers to Pure Green and the others. Without a moment's hesitation, it held up the sign with only a few words on it.
[Not in this world]
After all, this trip happened to be during the parliament, so Green and Chunchun had no choice but to stay. After all, if the three of them left together, Bumblebee would definitely be angry.
It tilted its head, subconsciously shuddered at the terrible thing, and shook its body.
But in Zilan's eyes, she felt as if she had touched the other person's sore spot. The other person was trying to remain calm, but in fact, his face was probably covered with tears under the mask. So she hurriedly wanted to say something, but felt that nothing she said could overcome the painful facts. So she picked up the other person and held him in her arms. The other person's light weight made her feel even more distressed.
"It's okay. If you want, Rhodes Island will be your home from now on, and we will be your family."
The ghost was hugged in someone's arms, confused and speechless. Aren't family members people who are related by blood?
The ghost fell into a brief standby.
So maybe that's why I wear a mask, to appear strong and not to make people worry, even if it's a little boring, it doesn't matter.
Zilan's thoughts had completely drifted away to who knows where. She raised her hand to take off the person's mask, but when she lifted it slightly, she found that it didn't move at all. So she used a little more force, but it still didn't move at all.
This situation made her wonder if she was stuck. Should she ask the medical department for help in sawing off the child's mask? Otherwise, keeping it like this would easily cause problems.
At this moment, the ghost felt the mask, which was no different from its own face, being held in someone's hands and lifted up and down. After thinking for a moment, it decided not to stop him and happily let go of control of its body.
After all, the people here should all be friends of the doctor, so there is nothing wrong in fulfilling their small wish.
At this moment, Zilan felt that the mask that was originally tightly fitting on her hand seemed to have become slightly loose, but out of protection for the other party, she slowed down her movements and slowly lifted it up. The next moment, she saw something dark and indescribable slowly released from the gap. The trembling panic immediately gripped her whole body. The fear made her unable to utter a word, and she just stayed stiffly in place.
As she panicked and her muscles stiffened, the mask he had been holding in his hand naturally slipped down, and the world returned to normal in an instant, but the fear in her eyes was still not completely eliminated.
What was that just now?
what is that……
what is that!
Intense panic was still beating in his heart, he was trembling and even unable to speak. After getting rid of the panic for a moment, he subconsciously wanted to throw away the source of panic in his hand, but she just gently put down the ghost in her hand.
After calming down for a moment, everything here was the same as before, as if the panic feeling before had never existed.
Is it an illusion?
People always tend to deny themselves things they cannot understand, and then attribute them to memory errors.
Maybe I just saw it wrong.
She comforted herself in this way.
She looked at the ghost again. How could a cute, stubborn and well-behaved child be something so frightening?
So she lifted the mask again, unwilling to believe it, and pure black substance seeped out.
After a moment of confusion, she fell straight back with a dull sound and fainted completely.
