People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"There's another thing about Tallulah besides the spell."

When Alina heard that the following story was related to Tallulah, she perked up and listened attentively with her ears twitching.

"There are many things weighing on Tallulah right now. Whether it's the southward migration or the Black Snake exorcism plan we're preparing to embark on tomorrow, Tallulah is the core. So, I can only ask you to handle this matter. Please don't add too much pressure on Tallulah for the time being."

Fang Zhou's words made Alina think for a moment and then nodded.

Indeed, nowadays, almost all the important matters of the Reunion Movement fall on Tallulah's shoulders. This is what is left after Froststar and Bodrakas took over most of the military-related matters. It can be said that the pressure on Tallulah as a leader is actually very great. The recent burden of being vigilant about the actions of the army is also Tallulah's job.

"Then what is it?"

Seeing Alina's serious look, Fang Zhou nodded.

"It's about Tallulah's identity."

"Tallulah's identity...you mean, the Duke's adopted daughter?"

"Yes."

After confirming, Alina's eyes flickered.

"It was this morning..."

Fang Zhou nodded to indicate that Alina was right.

"This morning, a member of the inner guards announced Tallulah's identity as the daughter of Duke Koschei in front of many soldiers. Although the shield guards and the Yeti squad didn't show any signs of commotion at the time, the ordinary soldiers were clearly shaken."

"The news that I had Tallulah personally killed Kosciuszko during the Internal Guards, combined with the panic they felt at the time, temporarily suppressed the warriors' rebellious spirit. But then, in the morning after the time expired, Tallulah didn't explain the incident. By now, the Reunion fighters should have come to their senses, and things have begun to ferment."

Alina nodded slowly.

Speaking of which, she did see some people gathered together in the afternoon, seemingly discussing something in low voices, but when she approached them, they all looked like nothing was happening. Now she thought, they might be discussing Tallulah's identity.

"If the situation is allowed to continue, once Tallulah's noble status becomes known, some staunch anti-nobility factions within the Reunion Movement will undoubtedly become hostile to her. The trust that has been established between the two sides will be shaken or even collapsed in an instant."

Alina's face looked a little gloomy.

"That's right. Tallulah didn't explain. Perhaps she believed she had lived and died alongside these warriors, fighting alongside the infected. She believed a mere issue of identity wouldn't shatter this life-and-death relationship. But that's where she was wrong."

With his hands in his pockets, Fang Zhou spoke in a long tone, which made Alina feel as if he was talking to an elder who had experienced too many such things.

"Human prejudice is a mountain, impossible to push away or move. No matter what Tallulah has done before, if someone uses this information to manipulate public opinion, they can make her lose the support of her team. After all, Alina, you should know best how much the people of the tundra hate those nobles."

Alina remained silent.

Yes, having lived on the permafrost since childhood, Alina naturally knew how huge the resentment and hatred of the grandparents, uncles and aunts around her were towards the high-ranking Ursus nobles.

"But this secret cannot be kept hidden any longer."

Alina's face was filled with worry.

Even if she knew what the worst outcome would be, Alina would not be disappointed or despair. What can really make people despair is that you know something may lead to extremely bad consequences, but you have no way to prevent it.

“Someone will always tell the truth.”

"So what we need to do is take this truth into our own hands."

Alina looked up suddenly, she knew that Ark might have a solution to this problem.

As Alina expected, Fang Zhou quickly told her how to solve the problem. With Fang Zhou's explanation and inspiration, Alina's already bright and clear eyes became even brighter.

The method is very simple. If we cannot resist public opinion, then we can make public opinion our own weapon.

Chapter 36 Of course, Ark must declare...

During this migration, Ark no longer used the Galatron control dial to summon the Galatron Demon Machine as a residence. After all, they were just sleeping here for one night, and the sound of summoning the Demon Machine was too conspicuous.

So he didn't plan to rest tonight. Anyway, with his physical condition, even if he didn't sleep for ten days, it wouldn't cause any physiological effects on his body. At most, he would feel a little mentally tired and a little uncomfortable.

But what would the Ark do if it didn't rest?

Coming to an empty corner, the shadows under my feet moved, and four ghost ninjas poked their heads out from inside.

"You two, go monitor Talulah, Alina, Froststar, and Bozhuka separately... Forget it, don't go. He'll find you even if you hide in the shadows. Just keep an eye on Talulah and the others. If they come looking for me, let me know and I'll come back."

The ghost ninja who was supposed to monitor Bozhukasti returned to the Kingdom of Dark Shadows, while the other three went to hide in the shadows near their respective targets' tents to monitor them.

After the ghost ninjas dispersed, Fang Zhou glanced at the two moons that had risen in the sky, and then felt the position of the ghost ninjas located in the distance on Rhodes Island through the Shadow Kingdom. He then quickly sneaked into the Shadow Kingdom, found the location of the ghost ninja, and came directly to him, and floated to the real world through his position.

Darkness was the first thing Ark felt, and then a hazy light entered his sight.

A soft humming sounded in Fang Zhou's ears. He was very familiar with the sound. It was...

"Amiya's voice."

Fang Zhou, with only his head showing in the shadow, raised his eyebrows and then looked around.

This seems to be... under Amiya's bed? !

Fang Zhou covered his mouth and nose almost immediately.

Slow down your breathing rate... No, this is still not safe.

Fang Zhou thought for a moment, then simply buried his nose back into the Shadow Kingdom.

After all, Amiya's perception ability is amazing. If the little rabbit finds out that a dignified Doctor is hiding under a girl's bed, he will probably be ruined in Rhodes Island (sad)!

Tapping.

It was Amiya's footsteps.

The little rabbit was humming some kind of ballad as he walked, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Click.

The dim light outside disappeared, followed by the creaking sound of a door closing.

Click.

The slightly yellow light illuminated the bedroom. Fang Zhou could see Amiya's feet in a pair of bunny slippers through the perspective from under the bed.

Ah~ This is becoming more and more perverted!

Fooling!

The bed above his head shook a little, and then two white and delicate legs belonging to a girl hung directly in front of Fang Zhou.

At this distance, Fang Zhou could see Amiya's snow-white calves in their entirety. Her smooth skin was as soft as satin, and the slender feet below her calves naturally caught Fang Zhou's attention.

The snow-white, crystal-clear, jade-like slender feet sway back and forth with the calves, as if they had just taken a bath. There are still drops of water on the jade-smooth little feet that dance with gravity, dancing in the graceful arc of the arch of the foot to create an artistic beauty that is a combination of physics and biology.

Wherever the eyes go, it's all as white as sheep fat. The ten toes are pink and neatly arranged without any gaps. The nails are slightly bluish like emerald green covering white jade. The flesh on the instep is almost transparent, and the thin blood vessels are clearly visible.

Of course, Fang Zhou had to declare that he was not a foot fetishist, but when such a pair of perfect jade feet were placed before his eyes, his heart, the heart shrouded in malice enough to burn the world, the heart that integrated the mental model of the most evil artificial intelligence in history, Ark, was giving him orders, trying to control his body, to feel those pearl-like toes, to feel every inch of softness and beauty, and to do those things that he despised!

(Yake: Don’t get involved!)

"hey-hey."

The girl's clear laughter instantly sobered Fang Zhou up and pulled him back from some inappropriate thoughts.

The bed shook, and the snow-white calves and jade-smooth feet dangling in front of him disappeared from sight.

Amiya lay on the bed, her pink and white nightgown wrapped around her slender body. Her ears moved slightly as she looked at the silver-white driving watch in her hand and laughed.

"Doctor, I begged Dr. Kel'tsit all day to get you a place. I know you're in Chernobog, and we had a meeting this morning. Although Dr. Kel'tsit abstained, everyone agreed to go to Chernobog to bring you back."

The clear voice of an oriole carries a joy that cannot be concealed no matter what, and the raised legs swaying back and forth also symbolizes the girl's joyful heart.

"By the way, Doctor, I'm now the CEO of Rhodes Island. I'm sure you'll be surprised when we meet. Hmm~ maybe not. You might already know it, after all, you're the Doctor."

The admiration and adoration between the words were difficult to conceal. Every time Amiya wanted to tell Fang Zhou about the changes that had happened to her that might surprise her, she would deny it after a moment, because she felt that if it was the Doctor, he would be able to guess the changes in her as soon as they met and would not be surprised at all.

"And this watch. Well, I don't know why you told me in my dream that I was born to be a king and gave me such a large watch, but I have indeed inherited the power of Sister Theresa, the 'Demon King.' I still have some trouble controlling it, so Dr. Kal'tsit doesn't usually let me use it much. I've been practicing hard, but sometimes I still can't control the emotions that surge over me."

Amiya felt a little depressed when she said this.

"Fear, despair, anger, hatred, aggression, jealousy, greed—I hear all of these whenever I walk through a crowd. And of course, it's not just negative emotions either. There's also joy, excitement, adoration, admiration, and... love."

When talking about the last emotion, the little rabbit's face turned a little red.

She is currently unable to control herself from feeling those emotions, so some emotions that are beyond her age range to understand sometimes intrude into her mind, making it difficult for Amiya to accept them. Therefore, many times, the operators on Rhodes Island would see their little leader suddenly blush and run away quickly when passing by a certain place, which was somewhat puzzling.

"I haven't told Dr. Kel'tsit about any of this. She told me to tell her as soon as possible if I feel uncomfortable, but there are some things I really don't know how to explain to her."

Amiya's talk hasn't stopped yet.

Fang Ark was feeling complicated as he listened to Amiya confide in the Zi-O control dial he had given her about the worries of children of her age and the troubles brought to her by the power of the Demon King.

Although it was not him who caused this child to bear such power and responsibility that did not belong to her at such a young age, it was indeed himself who gave her the burden called "becoming a king". At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself in the face.

You deserve to die.

It seems that Amiya will not be able to finish what she said for a while. What she needs to do can only start after Amiya falls asleep. She can't just wait here during this time, right?

Forget it, let's go out for a walk. If I stay here, even though I can block the "Devil King"'s emotional perception with the spirit of the Great Devil and the ability of conceptual-level artificial intelligence, if I get excited and reveal a flaw and Amiya senses it, then I will really be ruined.

Thinking this way, Ark sneaked into the Shadow Kingdom. Since Amiya's side is not working for the time being, let's go to Kal'tsit.

After moving a short distance, the Ark floated up again, stopped when it was about to emerge from the real world, and then began to observe the outside world through its shadow.

That is……

In the bright office, the white-haired giant lynx was looking absentmindedly at the pathology report submitted by Warfarin.

Although she seemed to be reading the report carefully, Kal'tsit's unfocused eyes showed that her mind was clearly not on the report in front of her.

It was strange. While Kal'tsit might sometimes seem less reliable than someone with her experience, she didn't have to look so dazed every time she came to work. Could it be that the noise yesterday had given her Alzheimer's a premature flare-up?

This teasing thought did not affect Fang Zhou's appreciation of Kal'tsit, who was now dull and rarely seen in the past. If combined with the usual impression of Kal'tsit who looked apathetic and apathetic, he would feel that she now had an incredible contrast of cuteness and an indescribable adorableness.

The lights in the middle of the night were a bit dazzling, but it didn't stop Fang Zhou from admiring the beautiful figure immersed in her own world. The white doctor's coat was draped loosely on her body, and her long white legs folded under the coat were a bit dazzling under the light, attracting people's attention.

The doctor's coat, which originally symbolized seriousness and the light of life, now looked like a straight waistcoat on Kal'tsit. The entire coat slipped down her arms, perfectly interpreting the phrase "old shoulders and slippery shoulders". However, on those shoulders that looked like works of art, the pitch-black Originium crystals kept waking people up from their beautiful dreams.

Oh, this damn lynx woman is unexpectedly so sweet.

In the final analysis, Kal'tsit has a pure and elegant appearance, but usually has an extremely indifferent expression. However, despite this, Fang Zhou still thinks she is very cute, especially her long legs with perfect double curves, which he never gets tired of looking at.

Of course, Fang Ark must state that he is not obsessed with legs.

He defended himself in this way, but his eyes couldn't help but move down, glanced at the bare legs, and then retracted them.

What would such a pair of legs look like if they were covered with pure white stockings?

The jade legs wrapped in white silk will surely show the overall curves and shape of the legs. The exquisite curves will bring about three-dimensional changes in the thickness of the visual shape. Although the warm and white jade legs cannot be seen, they can still arouse endless imagination.

Of course, Fang Ark must solemnly declare that he is not a leg control freak.

So what if it’s black silk?

When black covers the legs, the mysterious, natural and fascinating fantasy color seems to be a beauty that does not exist in this world. As the background color of the world and the universe, black itself is the color that is most difficult to change or dye. However, this thing that is almost like a theorem instead generates a desire to win in people's hearts, and they want to leave their own color on it to see whether black can be tarnished.

And when the black color is wrapped around the legs, the inevitable defects of the legs, such as bumps and curves, are perfectly changed visually. In other words, black stockings create perfection in this imperfect world!

Of course, Fang Ark must be fair and strict and say that he is not a leg control freak.

But that's fine. Since Amiya can't be dealt with in a short time, it's better to deal with this old woman first. To do that, we need to let the old lynx come to the Shadow Kingdom, so we need to let her discover the abnormality here first...

Just as Fang Zhou was thinking this, he suddenly saw the white-haired old lynx's ears twitch, and its originally unfocused eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Who's there?!"

The eyes, which had gradually turned into vertical pupils, stared fixedly in one direction. The back of the slender body suddenly bulged, as if something was about to crawl out from inside.

The direction Kal'tsit was looking at was exactly where the Ark was.

————————————————————————————

Chapter 37 Disappearing into the Shadows

Kal'tsit stared straight at the shadow.

From the outside it looked like just an ordinary shadow, but Kal'tsit's intuition told her that there was something there.

Something was watching her from within that shadow!

Under the seriousness, accompanied by the sound like bones rubbing against each other, a small bulge seemed to appear on Kal'tsit's spine. As time passed, the bulge became more and more obvious, as if it was deformed by the pressure. The blue blood vessels under the originally fair and smooth skin gradually bulged out, as if they were about to jump out.

The purple bruises gradually began to spread, and his body gradually reached the limit of what he could bear.

With a slight sound, an indescribable skeletal shape pierced through the skin and muscles while bleeding, and came out of the body. The dark joints on the top began to twist and deform rapidly, turning into a pair of terrifying claws shining with a metallic luster.

The alien stretched out its new limbs, grabbed the bloody skin on both sides of the gap, and violently pulled its complete body out of the flesh.

The nearly nine-meter-long spine-shaped crystal defies the laws of physics and is suspended in the air by an unknown force.

The alien, freed from the constraints of flesh and blood, was finally able to stretch its body. Its strange joints continued to deform and grow, and the terrifying beast beyond human cognition finally revealed its true appearance!
