Poseidon in Arknights

"Ming, I understand."

"Hmm." Yuuki lowered her head and began picking up the items. These weren't hers; they were things that Rhodes Island had originally left there. Suddenly, her hand, which was holding a bandage, paused slightly.

Yuzuki smiled as she packed her things, then stood up with a smile, turned to look in Chernobog's direction, and sighed: "How anxious! Didn't I tell you I'd go for the follow-up appointment?"

'Wait, something doesn't seem right...' Xi Yue touched her head, looking somewhat embarrassed. 'He didn't misunderstand me, did he?'

"Sigh, um, never mind, I'll go take a look later."

Yu Yue clapped her hands, and all the Yu Yue in the ward simultaneously put down what they were holding, smiled at the patient next to her, and then her body disintegrated into a stream of water.

The water flowed backward in the air, slowly merging into the body of the evening moon.

Outside the ward, Kal'tsit, seeing that the other party seemed to have finished their work, said, "I remember we still have quite a few refugees constantly entering Rhodes Island to go back to work."

"Elemental Originium Arts, so they can achieve this level of skill." Gavial shrugged upon hearing Kal'tsit's words. He had only come because he heard other people's voices, but he was shocked by the feeling of a single person forming an army.

The other doctors, upon hearing Kal'tsit's words, quickly returned to their normal work.

So that's how it is. The people gathered in front of the ward immediately dispersed. Kal'tsit sighed as she watched the crowd disperse. The situation seemed to be under control.

At least Yuuki didn't bring the Sea Sis all at once; she was prepared to see a large group of Sea Sis here.

Although the scene she just witnessed was somewhat chaotic, it was at least much better than she had imagined.

"Hello, or good afternoon, Dr. Kal'tsit."

"Hmm, Yuuki... Doctor, hello." Kal'tsit looked at Yuuki's outstretched hand, paused for a moment, and then reached out to shake it.

"You're still a bit stiff, Dr. Kal'tsit." Yuuki looked at Kal'tsit's slightly stiff face. "Compared to that, I much prefer how the little bunny treats me."

"Oh! Yuuki!" Exusiai popped out from the side and pounced on Yuuki's arm. "That move you just made was really impressive. It had the style of Penguin Logistics."

"Okay, okay." Yuuki smiled and patted Exusiai's head.

“…Yuzuki.” Texas glanced at Exusiai, who had pounced on her even before her, and her tail twitched involuntarily in annoyance. But after all, she was still her best friend, and that was just her personality.

"What's wrong, Texas?" Yuuki looked up at Texas.

"Have you finished your work here?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yue shook her head: "I still need to go for a follow-up appointment later, since one of the patients seems very unwilling to accept treatment."

"Not here?" Texas raised an eyebrow.

“He’s not here. He’s still resisting treatment. My other critically ill patient seems to be trying to suppress it.”

"???" Texas's expression instantly turned to confusion. Had she just misheard something about a critically ill patient helping to suppress another patient?

"Well, it's because I was in a bad mood at the time, so my tone was a bit harsh, which caused him to misunderstand something?" Xi Yue shook her head helplessly. "I'm leaving now, but the patient's condition can't be delayed."

“Hmm…” Texas had just nodded when she realized that Yuuzuki seemed to have already disappeared.

Texas's lips twitched: "That's a bit too fast, leaving as soon as you say it."

Exusiai, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "I think it was the same last time. On the night of Requiem, Yuuki just left without warning. She was right in front of me and then she disappeared."

Exusiai then approached Texas and said, "Tell me what's going on with Yuuki. This is definitely not something a Liberi would do."

——————Chernobog Command Tower——————

"Did that god say something to you?" The black snake dodged the black ice spikes that were shot at it, then casually conjured a huge fireball in its hand and threw it over.

No matter how large the fireball was, it was blocked by the black shield, and the force of the fireball's explosion did not make Patriot take a single step back.

Frostnova slid past Patriot, sending several more black icicles flying. "Get out of her body, you bastard!"

Although Frostnova didn't realize at first why the old man had suddenly attacked Talulah, she immediately joined the battle after their conversation and Black Serpent's own revelation.

"Indeed, he cleared up my doubts about why Talulah's personality changed so drastically after that incident. I originally thought she was just suffering a blow, but now it seems that you have taken over her body."

Patriot's somewhat embarrassed voice trailed off, his scarlet eyes fixed intently on the black snake.

"So, Bozokasti, don't you suspect that the god also has his own purpose?" Black Serpent stared intently at Patriot, regretting that his plan had ended so hastily before it had even fully begun.

Without Patriot and Frostnova, Reunion's strength will be reduced by at least 80%, not to mention Mephisto, who was already being used as a projectile by Patriot, and Faust, who was caught in the aftermath of the recent battle.

It can be said that after losing these four people, the Reunion Movement is left with just a makeshift team, maybe with a few Sarkaz mercenary squads at most.

It can be said that Black Serpent's plan failed and ended in such a hasty manner, and the reason was actually the foolish actions of the five inner guards.

"Although it can't proceed as originally planned..." Black Snake bit his lip. Although the situation had developed beyond his expectations, but...

As the black snake dodged, it continuously built up the fireball in its hand, and finally slammed it hard into the ground. The burst of flames was like a towering iron tower, which slightly repelled the Patriots.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the black snake burst into flames at its feet and charged straight toward the control room.

"By forcibly activating the mobile city's flight path and completely destroying the control room, it becomes extremely difficult to alter the mobile city's movement through external means."

But at that moment, the black snake seemed to hear the sound of chains, and then it felt a piercing pain all over its body.

"Hello or good afternoon, Talulah, no, Miss Black Serpent." Yuuki's voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of chains sliding. "It's time for your appointment."

"What!" The black snake collapsed to the ground, struggling violently, its eyes wide with terror as it stared at Xi Yue. "How could you suddenly appear here?"

"It's normal for me to appear anywhere, right?" Yu Yue looked at the black snake lying on the ground with a smile. "Hello, nice to meet you."

A violent burst of flames erupted, but the flames weakened just as they surged, burning only close to Talulah's body.

The seemingly ordinary iron chains wrapped around Talulah remained completely still despite the constant burning of the flames. In fact, if someone were to touch them, they would find that the chains were icy cold, as if the flames encasing them were an illusion.

"Who are you?!" Froststar looked at the suddenly appearing Tide Moon with extreme vigilance. She was guarding the elevator entrance, how come she didn't notice anyone coming in?

"Froststar, be quiet." The red light in Patriot's eyes subsided. He walked to Froststar's side and gently stroked her head.

"You old fogey, what are you doing?" Froststar raised her hand to slap Patriot's hand away. "Now is not the time to relax, is it?"

"It's alright. The other one, God has come. This matter is beyond our control."

"God?" Froststar looked up, just as Yuuki looked up and waved to them with a smile.

"Ah!" Bound by chains, Talulah tried desperately to ignite flames, but no matter how hard she tried, the flames she generated would only dissipate in an instant.

"Who are you?!" The black snake's gaze was fixed on Xi Yue. "Why are you interfering in this matter?"

"I just couldn't stand it anymore." With a slight exertion, Xi Yue flung the black snake away with immense strength, loosening the chains and leaving only sharp nail heads embedded in the snake's body.

Just as the black snake was about to take this opportunity to escape, the chains snapped as soon as it exerted force, and an unbearable pain instantly surged through its body.

"What! This chain!" The black snake looked down at the nail head that was embedded in its body. The nail head was smooth and round, without any barbs, but the intense pain it had just felt was still there.

"Where do you think you're going, Black Serpent?" Xi Yue looked at Black Serpent, who was kneeling down in pain, with a smile on her face, and raised her hand to grab the chain and tug it again.

"Ah!" The chain moved slowly, but strangely, the sharp nails did not move at all, as if the chain was pulling on something else.

Soul Chains

[Type: Weapon]

【Effect: Pursuit: Locks onto the target and automatically pursues it, aiming to hit as many targets as possible within range. As long as energy is continuously injected, it has an infinite growth effect.】

Soul Lock: After the nail hits the target, it will lock the target's soul. If the target has two or more souls, the user can choose which one to lock.

[Description: Theoretically, it can treat multiple personality disorder, provided you're careful not to tear the person's soul apart.]

Price: 200000 Medical Points

[B+ medical access can be purchased]

With a smile on her face, Yuuki slowly tugged at the chain in her hand: "Now, Black Serpent, shut up. Let's invite the real Talulah to speak."

Chapter 79: The Flame Rekindled in New Life

"Now, Black Serpent, shut up. Let's invite the real Talulah to speak."

The chains wrapped around Xiyue's hands slowly turned, and the black snake lying on the ground let out painful cries. A black aura was slowly pulled out from its body by the chains.

As the black mist increased, as if it were a double image, another figure of Talulah was impaled on the chains and forcibly pulled out of Talulah's body.

As the figure was pulled out, Talulah, who was struggling on the ground, seemed to finally get a chance to breathe after a long period of suffocation. She lay on the ground, panting heavily, and occasionally coughing as she choked out some gasps from her throat.

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Talulah lay on the ground, her whole body convulsing and trembling uncontrollably. She tried to speak, but her throat had lost control, and she coughed incessantly, the violent coughing sounding as if she were about to cough up her lungs.

"Talulah, no, are you alright?" Patriot frowned beneath his mask, looking at Talulah who was coughing violently on the ground.

"I guess it's a side effect I wasn't aware of." Yu Yue glanced down at the chains wrapped around her hands. "But it should be fine, I think I was a little gentle just now."

'Looks like it can't be used for treatment after all. But then again, it's a weapon, not a medical device.'

After all, according to the system's labeling, this thing is classified as a weapon, not a prop or surgical instrument. As for the note that it can be used to treat dissociative identity disorder, it is not specified.

In terms of the usage just mentioned, it is theoretically possible, but in terms of practicality, it is absolutely unnecessary.

After this thing is inserted into the body of the person who needs treatment, it searches little by little for the abnormal part in the soul, and then slowly pulls that part out.

This is the so-called method for treating multiple personality disorder mentioned in the notes.

To be honest, Yuuki felt that it was more like torture than treatment; the so-called treatment was more like a byproduct of the torture.

While pulling, you must be careful not to use too much force. You must pull slowly. If you are not careful, you may tear someone's soul to shreds. At that point, it will not be healing, but murder.

Even if you complete this process, the best outcome is to cough wildly on the ground like Talulah, and that doesn't even take into account the pain you'll have to endure.

Using this as a medical supply for treatment might actually be less effective than simply stabbing the other person.

So ultimately, this thing is a weapon, and the more suitable way to use it is to forcibly pull out or tear apart the opponent's soul.

"Why? Why are you meddling in these things? They have nothing to do with you." The black snake, forcibly pulled from Talulah's body and chained to a chain, stared intently at Yuuzuki, its face pressed against Talulah's.

"There is no reason. If you need a reason to hurt people, it's like how you want to drag ordinary people from both countries into war in order to so-called revitalize Ursus."

Looking at the black snake chained to the ground, Xiyue casually replied, "Then my saving people is simply because I can't stand what you're doing, and because I want to do it, and you can't refuse."

"Could you please help me pull this thing out?" Talulah, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have finally recovered. Although she was still panting heavily, she was finally able to speak.

As soon as Talulah regained her mobility, she tried to pull out the nail head stuck in her shoulder, but the nail head, which seemed to have no barbs and should have been easy to pull out, remained motionless no matter how hard Talulah tried.

"Oh, you mean this?" Xiyue casually shook the iron chain on her hand. "Unfortunately, not for now, since this thing hasn't been completely pulled out of you yet."

"..." Talulah glanced at the black snake strung on the chain and found that there was indeed a black aura connected to her.

Frostnova carefully skirted around the black snake pierced by chains, looking at Talulah who was still panting heavily: "Are you alright, Talulah?"

"Aside from the pain all over my body, I'm fine, I guess." Talulah shook her head, then looked at the black snake that was using her own image, "...Long time no see."
