Poseidon in Arknights

Franka, who was in the distance, saw Jessica raise her hand and nodded. She then used pliers to pull an Originium Bug out of a cage. Following their earlier agreement, she picked up the Swift Sword that was placed to the side and slashed the Originium Bug hard. Afterward, she held the still bleeding Originium Bug high in the air.

Jessica held the gun steady, and as she pulled the trigger, the bullet was fired instantly, the spent cartridge ejected into the air and turned into a cloud of red powder.

The bullet itself accurately struck the struggling primitive insect, and upon impact, it transformed into a cloud of red powder that scattered in all directions.

On the still-bleeding wounds on the Originium Bug, scabs began to form at a visible speed.

"That's fast enough." Franka, standing to the side, looked at the scabs that had already formed. "It should be quite effective on the battlefield."

Then, another gunshot rang out in the distance, and another bullet came flying over. Unlike the smoke from before, this time the bullet seemed to directly merge into the body of the Originium Bug. The wound that Franka had cut out was now emitting a green light from the inside out, and was slowly healing at an extremely slow but visible speed.

Finally, some of the newly formed scabs fell to the ground, revealing brand new skin.

"This looks alright, but the healing area seems a bit small." Franka placed the sword on the iron cage and poked the newly healed flesh with her hand.

“Alright, Jessica,” Franka removed her hand and shook the Originium Bug she was holding, “Next!”

—————Rhodes Island·Deck—————

After accompanying Jessica and the other two to test all the bullets, Yuuki, with a gossipy attitude, leisurely strolled onto the deck. Just as she arrived, she heard a slightly pitiful cry.

"Help! Yuzuki!"

Xi Yue looked up at the two figures hanging in the air, one of whom was Warfarin, without a doubt.

However, Warfarin seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, hanging in the air like a salted fish, swaying in the wind. He was clearly a seasoned bridge cadet, well aware that struggling in the air would only waste his energy, so he might as well behave himself.

The other one, who looked like a bridge intern, let out a pitiful scream that echoed throughout the deck, and that person also surprised Yuuki.

"Doctor?" Yu Yue raised an eyebrow, looking at the Doctor who was struggling in the air.

What did this child do to offend Kal'tsit? If Yuuki remembers correctly, after the Doctor hid behind her and poured out his grievances last time, Kal'tsit and the others let him go to rest.

Theoretically speaking, the Doctor should be hiding with Kal'tsit and Amiya right now, afraid of being dragged back to work.

Then Yuu-yue floated up into the air and stood in front of the still struggling Doctor: "Good afternoon, Doctor, and Dr. Warfarin."

Warfarin heard Yuuki's voice, looked up at Yuuki floating in front of them, and was not surprised.

Anyway, ever since she experienced that a few days ago, when she saw Xi Yue calling out a group of creatures she had never seen before, carrying that group of children back, and using her clone technique to single-handedly rule an entire ward, she realized that Xi Yue had been using her clone technique to transform into a hundred gods.

Just a few days ago, after witnessing that miraculous surgery that, theoretically speaking, could be considered a medical malpractice, Warfarin realized one thing: don't delve too deeply into what happened to Yuuki; just treat him as omnipotent.

Following these rules, Warfarin simply nodded at Xiyue, who was now floating in mid-air, and spoke to them, swinging his bound hands behind his back as a greeting.

Good afternoon, Dr. Yuzuki.

Compared to Warfarin, who was already calm because he was used to it, the doctor, who was probably being ignored for the first time, at least that's what he thought. Seeing that someone was finally paying attention to him, he quickly called out for help.

"Help! Yuuki, I'm so innocent~" The Doctor's teary eyes peeked out from under his hood. "Please help me down~"

"Saving you is possible~" Yu Yue smiled and touched the doctor's teary eyes. "Tell me what happened first?"

"I can roughly guess what's going on with Warfarin?" Xi Yue glanced at Warfarin, who had once again entered a state of feigning death, and then looked at the Doctor. "But Doctor, logically speaking, shouldn't you be hiding from them right now? Why are you hanging here with Warfarin?"

Upon hearing this from Yuuki, the Doctor glared at her fiercely. Warfarin, who was standing next to her, finally looked at Yuuki, who was practically grabbing a slice of watermelon, and said, "Yuuki, if I tell you, can you save me?"

"Of course, you're still a patient." Yuuki smiled, glanced at the deck below, then looked at the Doctor. "So tell me about it first~"

—————One hour ago, Rhodes Island Medical Center—————

"You can go back now, Doctor." Kal'tsit looked at the Doctor lying on the device with a cold expression, holding a tablet. "Your brain is not damaged. I will do a psychological assessment for you in a few days."

"Oh, okay." The doctor nodded from his hospital bed, then rolled over and got out of bed. "So what's next? Let's talk about work first, no questions asked."

“Go to Dr. Warfarin to collect a blood sample, just one vial will do.” Kal'tsit paused, looking at the seemingly absent-minded Doctor, “If she dares to ask you, she should just ask me directly.”

"Oh, okay." The Doctor nodded perfunctorily, and then, seeing that Kal'tsit probably had nothing more to say, he quickly ran out.

Kal'tsit watched the Doctor leave and couldn't help but sigh. She simply couldn't believe that the Doctor's amnesia at this moment was just simple amnesia.

-----------

"Hmph~ Hmph~" The doctor hummed a little tune as he slowly walked to Warfarin's office, knocked on the door, and asked, "Is Dr. Warfarin in?"

After a while, Warfarin's voice came from inside: "Doctor? Come in."

"Come on, sit down and put your hand out." Warfarin seemed to have been prepared, having already placed the equipment needed for the blood draw on the table, but...

The doctor stared at the tube on the table, as thick as two fingers side by side, and fell silent for a moment. Then, looking at Warfarin, who was solemnly putting gloves on herself, the doctor asked, "Dr. Warfarin?"

"What is it, Doctor?" Warfarin looked at the doctor, who looked puzzled. "Come here quickly, what are you standing there for?"

"Dr. Warfarin, please don't lie to me. Although I have amnesia now, I'm not stupid." The doctor squinted at Warfarin, who had a serious face. "Although I don't know what drawing blood is like, I know that it certainly doesn't require such a thick tube."

"..." Warfarin's expression, which had been solemnly greeting the Doctor, suddenly froze. Then, she lowered her head as if she felt guilty, but it also seemed as if she was looking at something. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and stared intently at the Doctor.

"..." The doctor looked at Warfarin's burning gaze and a sense of unease instantly welled up in his heart. He turned around and wanted to push the door open and run away, but the door was locked at some point.

"Hehe, Doctor, where do you think you're going?" Warfarin, with a mischievous grin, threw her tablet on the table, then slowly approached the Doctor, pressing herself tightly against the corner of the wall and crouching down with her hands on her head in a defensive posture.

"Kal'tsit's busy with other things now, no one can save you~"

-----Now------

"Excuse me for a moment." Xi Yue stroked her chin, listening to the doctor's story, "According to what you're saying, Doctor, a certain doctor who planned to treat patients' blood samples like snacks is the culprit, right?"

Yu Yue turned to look at Warfarin, who had already turned her head away, not daring to look at them, then turned to look at the Doctor: "So what's your situation? Theoretically, aren't you a victim? How come you're stuck here too?"

"Ahem." The doctor coughed awkwardly twice. "I haven't finished speaking yet."

--------------

Let's rewind to an hour earlier.

Warfarin looked at the trembling Doctor and pressed closer, finally speaking up just as the Doctor was about to cry for help.

"How about I give you a secret weapon to deal with Kal'tsit?" Warfarin looked at the Doctor who suddenly looked up at her. "I'll give you a secret weapon in exchange for a few packs of blood. Not a bad deal, right?"

"..." The doctor looked at Warfarin for a moment, then asked, "Really? Does that riddle-like green cat have a weakness too?"

"Riddle Green Cat Head?" Warfarin was slightly taken aback, then immediately realized who the Doctor was talking about, and couldn't help but laugh: "Very good, very good, a fantastic title, hhhhhh."

After a while, Warfarin seemed to have laughed enough and stood up, but the smile on her lips still lingered.

“It’s definitely true, you have to believe me.” Warfarin smiled as she looked at the Doctor. “You see, I could have used force, but I’m choosing to exchange it for something good. My sincerity is overflowing.”

"..." The doctor looked at Warfarin's sincere face, thought for a moment, and then continued to ask, "First tell me what that thing is, and second, can you guarantee that it will definitely work?"

"Yes, it's powder from a plant that Mousse used to tease their beast-kin," Warfarin said, taking a small packet of green powder from her clothes. "And this powder is also effective against the Felin race. I think you understand what I mean, Doctor."

Warfarin went back and picked up the tablet from the table. After adjusting it, she showed the Doctor the contents of the tablet. It contained images of a little girl with orange hair from the Felin tribe boiling powder into water for her Felin beast relatives to eat.

"..." The doctor stared silently at the bag of powder and the image on the tablet in Warfarin's hand. After several days of intensive study, he also understood the classification of some races on Earth.

If Warfarin is telling the truth, then this packet of powder might indeed be a secret weapon against me, Kal'tsit, at some point, but...

'Once Kal'tsit wakes up, won't she settle scores later?'

The clever doctor immediately understood that the powder in front of him could only be used to temporarily avoid punishment, and there was a risk that the punishment would be worse after use.

but……

"I'll take it." The Doctor nodded at Warfarin. After all, even at the risk of harsher punishment later, the Doctor wanted to see what kind of effects this bag of powder would have.

His intuition told him it might be a very interesting scene. However, another intuition also told him it was a road of no return.

But what does it matter? Even if I get hung up later, or have to work twice as much, I'm definitely getting this powder doctor today.

“However, it’s impossible for a few bags of blood to amount to only half a tube at most.” The doctor looked at Warfarin with righteous indignation, pointing to the test tube on the table that was about two fingers thick. “This thing can only help me escape for a while. After that, I might still be hung up and beaten, so this is only half a tube.”

Warfarin nodded without hesitation. Anyway, a little bit of blood would be enough for the report, and getting half a tube this time would be good.

After all, if the Doctor really shouts later, Warfarin will probably have to go to the bridge again. But this time, after successfully dragging the Doctor and her into the same battle line, getting blood will be a piece of cake, right?

"So this is what you were talking about?" Suddenly, the door slid open to the side, and Kal'tsit stared coldly at the two people who were conducting the transaction. "Is there anything else to explain?"

------------

"Well, that's how it is." The doctor looked at Yuuki, who had a helpless expression. "Can you put me down now?"

"Sure, that's possible." Yuuki nodded somewhat helplessly, "But it seems someone isn't as innocent as they claim to be~"

"Hey hey~"

Chapter 95: The Great Snow Leopard, the Little Snow Leopard

With a slightly helpless smile, Yuuki looked at the Doctor who had turned his head away, casually swung a water blade, cut the rope, and was about to drag the Doctor down.

Warfarin, who was pretending to be dead, saw the Doctor being taken away by Yuuki and hurriedly called out to Yuuki, "Um? Miss Yuuki, can you save me?"

"Hmm, that's a good idea~" Yuzuki turned to look at Warfarin, smiling as she pointed to the deck below, "As long as she doesn't mind~"

Warfarin skillfully turned around in mid-air to look in the direction Xixi was pointing. In the shadow of the building, the green-haired cat-head they had just mentioned was staring at her with an icy expression.

"..." Warfarin and Kal'tsit exchanged a glance, then silently swayed back around. "Ah, the weather is nice today. I'll bask in the sun for a while longer. Sunbathing is good for your health."

Following the direction Yuuki pointed, the Doctor saw Kal'tsit silently watching them from the shadows. After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Yuuki, who was carrying him.

"Ah! After hearing what Dr. Warfarin said, I also think the weather is nice today, it's really perfect for sunbathing. I don't really want to go down anymore, Yuzuki, why don't you hang me up again?"

Yuzuki smiled at the Doctor in her hands: "Don't be afraid, come on, I'm right here beside you~"

"No, no!" The doctor twisted and turned in Xiyue's hands, resisting as Xiyue took her down. She regretted it; she didn't want to go down!

Yu Yue landed gently on the ground and casually cut the ropes binding the doctor.

As soon as the Doctor was freed, he saw Kal'tsit approaching them and immediately hugged Yuuki tightly, trying to hide himself behind her.

"I really regret it, Yuuki. Just hang me back up, you don't have to put me down." The Doctor trembled as he hid behind Yuuki. Coming down now was definitely not a good idea.

Yuuki turned around, patted the Doctor's head, and then pulled the Doctor out from behind her again: "I don't think Dr. Kal'tsit came here just randomly. I think she must have something to ask one of you two."

"Given the current situation, I think Dr. Kal'tsit is probably looking for you."

"Doctor, there's something I need your help with." Just as Yuuki had guessed, Kal'tsit approached and saw that the Doctor was completely ignoring Warfarin, who was pretending to be dead up there. "As an advisor, you need to sit in on the proceedings. This is also part of your work later."

"Hey, but we agreed that I would rest!" Upon hearing that he had to work, the Doctor immediately reacted and argued, but looking at Kal'tsit's expressionless face, he silently shrank back and his tone became timid, "We agreed."

“We agreed that you wouldn’t handle documents, not that you wouldn’t work,” Kal’tsit said to the Doctor without changing her expression. “You’ll just be observing, and that will be your job later; it’s just a demonstration for you.”

“Revisiting your former work might also be beneficial for your memory recovery.”

"Um, Yuuki, what do you think?" The Doctor turned to look at Yuuki, "Can I not go?"

“What Dr. Kal'tsit said makes some sense.” Yuuki gently patted the Doctor’s head. “It’s good for you to go and see him. After all, I think this will be part of your work later.”

"Ugh~" The doctor shrank his neck, finally sighed resignedly, and looked at Yuuki, "Then Yuuki, can you come with me?"
