Skadi, returning to infinity

"See where she is."

The true dragon didn't know much about Skadi; ​​what he knew was basically all the information Skadi had given him.

But the true dragon knew Skadi very well and knew what preparations she would make.

Since she suddenly disappeared, it's highly likely that she has woken up, but she has things to do and cannot tell them for the time being.

As a collaborator in this "plan," Skadi still trusts the true dragon.

If any problems do arise, she will definitely be prepared.

So when the True Dragon saw Skadi's communication light up, he knew she was definitely safe; she was just busy with her own things and couldn't contact her.

Others know.

"Could it be on that island?"

The dragon knew that Skadi had an island, but although he knew it, he had never been there.

Even though the island was of paramount importance in this plan, the true dragon still couldn't access it.

Although I considered secretly contacting members who had been to the island to obtain information from them, I hesitated because doing so might attract unwanted attention.

This might cause Skadi to misunderstand or feel disgusted.

For a true dragon whose ultimate goal is Skadi, this is not something worth doing.

So far, Zhenlong still only has a superficial understanding of that island.

However, regardless of the island, it is highly likely that Skadi would keep a mistress there.

"But she's been in a coma for a month... what exactly is she trying to do?"

The true dragon was unaware of the "Game of the Gods," and the fact that Skadi had been in a coma for a month without taking any action was simply too strange.

For Skadi, whose time is so precious, it would be incredibly strange to do nothing for a whole month.

Therefore, Skadi may have done something, but it's a secret from everyone else.

As for how she does it and to what extent, that will remain a secret for now.

"I'm curious what you'll do after you come back this time."

"Is it time to take action against Colombia?"

"Should we still target Victoria?"

"Or perhaps we should go to Ursus?"

"Hmm? Or are you here to ask me for a collaboration?"

"This is getting interesting."

The true dragon didn't care whether Skadi sought his cooperation, after all, he had already done what he could.

On this land today, some things cannot be resolved simply through cooperation.

"I look forward to your reply, dear Miss Skadi."

What answer does the true dragon want? Perhaps only Skadi and the other two know the answer.

The True Dragon side is alright; they only know that Skadi has awakened, and nothing else for now.

Kal'tsit, who was working late into the night, frowned slightly as she looked at the information coming from her computer.

The hand holding the coffee paused, as if deep in thought.

P.S.: I went to rest yesterday to adjust my schedule, and I was completely exhausted.

Chapter Six: Dr. Kal'tsit, it's time for you to confront your own heart.

"I see."

After hesitating for a moment, Kal'tsit replied and then placed the coffee next to the computer.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, it's time to rest."

The door opened, and the Shining walked in.

She watched Kal'tsit sitting in front of the computer and whispered a reminder.

"I'll go rest in a bit."

"The Shining".

Is Nightingale feeling any better?

Kal'tsit looked at her and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Nightingale is in good condition."

"Dr. Kal'tsit, didn't you already know?"

"I showed you the information about Nightingale's body a few days ago."

Within the entire Tower of Babel... or rather, Rhodes Island's medical department, there are several operators whose information is kept secret.

One is Titi's, and the other is Nightingale's.

There is also information on several other operators that is currently being kept secret, and Amiya is one of them.

Titi's information was kept secret for the sake of "The Doctor," while Nightingale's information was kept secret entirely because of the Shining.

She didn't want other medical operators to be in charge of Nightingale's treatment; she was basically in charge of it herself.

Kal'tsit and the Doctor are medical personnel who know this information, and Shining will regularly report relevant information to them.

"I've seen that intelligence report..."

Kal'tsit tapped her fingers lightly on the table, both to think and to calm herself down.

She swiped the mouse and opened Nightingale's information.

"Nightingale's condition has not deteriorated for the time being; the fusion rate of her somatic cells and Originium remains at 7%, and the Originium crystal density in her blood is 0.34 u/L." [Note: ①]

"Although there is no way to lower it yet, the best information we can get right now is that it remains unchanged."

"This number is currently the highest among those infected in the Tower of Babel." [Note: ②]

"Although the doctor has done his best to slow down the fusion rate of Nightingale's somatic cells and Originium."

"But as long as a solution is not found, it will remain very dangerous."

"Shining, we need to continue our research in this area."

"The doctor has laid a solid foundation for us..."

"We can't stop while she's doing her own thing."

Kal'tsit's words reached Shining's ears, and after a moment's hesitation, she still asked a question.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, even the Doctor can't solve this?"

During the time she spent with Skadi, Shining was very clear about the extent of Skadi's abilities.

Even though Skadi kept saying she couldn't cure Oripathy, Shining still held onto hope.

At this point, she talked to Kal'tsit about this, hoping to find out from Kal'tsit whether Skadi really couldn't do it.

"No."

Kal'tsit hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Although I'd love to say that a PhD could do it."

"But the truth is, we are facing Oripathy, and at present we can only suppress and treat it, not eradicate it."

"The doctor didn't specify the reason, but I think it's related to something."

Kal'tsit didn't say it was a riddle, but her words sounded like one.

"Some beings...do you mean them?"

Shining had spent a lot of time with them, so she knew some of the information.

"Correct."

Some things are hard to explain clearly, and it's a good thing that they can understand.

"So, until we deal with them, we can't... cure Oripathy, is that right?"

Despite the slim chance, Shining still wanted to know.

"uncertain."

Whether it can be done depends entirely on the PhD.

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she picked up her coffee and took a sip.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, do you trust the Doctor?"

Shining suddenly asked this question.

Do you believe the doctor?

Kal'tsit didn't answer, but instead asked her a question in return.

"Believe."

The response was given without any hesitation.

"Then I should believe it too."

After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she suddenly laughed.

"Shining, go and rest."

"You don't need to stay here with me."

"I've finished my work for today, but there are some things I'm just spacing out about."

Hearing her say that, Shining didn't insist on keeping her.

She nodded, then slowly left Kal'tsit's office.

"PhD."
