People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

"?"

What hell?

"on!"

But before Kal'tsit could react to what Fang Ark meant, the ghost ninja beside him flashed and rushed directly towards Kal'tsit.

Kal'tsit's expression changed, but then she realized that these ninjas' targets were not her, but the shadow aliens of the same nature as them.

Tentacles, samurai swords, and long sticks fought back and forth, and while the ninja group was fighting the alien group, the Ark quickly leaped and landed next to Kal'tsit.

"Doctor, here..."

"Don't talk yet."

Kal'tsit was about to question the current situation, but Fang Ark directly blocked her mouth with his hand.

Ignoring Kal'tsit's frowning protest, he reached out and grabbed Kal'tsit's waist, hugged her around the waist, and with a few more jumps, he left the center of the melee.

"What are you..."

Kal'tsit was shocked by Fang Zhou's skills.

In her understanding, whether in the pre-civilization era or the current civilization era, this man codenamed Doctor always looked weak and helpless, but now...

It was only a year, and he should have been staying in the sarcophagus during this year, and the sarcophagus should only be able to maintain his basic body functions, but now...

At least Kal'tsit was certain that the Doctor a year ago would not have been able to hold her around the waist and fly between floating islands like he was doing now.

"It will be over soon."

Although she was wearing a helmet, the tacit understanding gained from years of cooperation allowed Kal'tsit to understand the direction of Ark's gaze at the moment.

Turning her gaze, Kal'tsit's pupils shrank. She saw that at some point, there were not only the Ninja Group and the Alien Group on the battlefield, but also a group of winged shadow monsters who had joined in and were slaughtering the Alien Group's shadow troops together with the Ninja Group.

Soon, in the silent war, the monsters of the alien group were slaughtered.

When the last black shadow monster, which was much larger than the other alien groups, was killed, the surrounding shadows condensed and a hideous orange mask appeared in Kal'tsit's eyes.

Fang Zhou jumped up and landed in front of the mask with Kal'tsit. He put the latter on the ground and reached out to take the mask.

"In this case, we only need one last pair."

"what is this?"

Fang Zhou turned around and looked at Kal'tsit.

"The power of hell."

Kal'tsit's eyes were burning, and then she looked at Fang Ark with a flickering look as he muttered something to the mask.

Ya, Ga, Mi, Mou, Ya, Ga, Mi, Qi, Wa.

By listening carefully, Kal'tsit was able to discern the pronunciation of Fang Ark's muttered words.

It is an unknown language.

And then a corrupted power rose from the mask, black and misty, and entered Fang Zhou's helmet just like that. The whole process lasted about ten seconds. When there was no more black mist rising from the mask, the mask turned into ashes in Fang Zhou's hands like rotten wood burned by a fire.

"That way, when everything starts, we'll have more power to interfere in the world."

After Ark absorbed the mask, the ghost troops dispersed and a strange silence fell between Kal'tsit and Ark.

Hiss.

That's the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground.

"I'm hunting them. They sometimes escape into the real world. Your presence here must be an accident."

Kal'tsit didn't say anything, but just looked at the man in front of her quietly, with a hidden anger burning in her eyes, and underneath that anger, there was also doubt.

"I'll take you back."

Fang Zhou stepped forward, grabbed Kal'tsit's arm, and walked towards the other floating island.

Even though Kal'tsit has been working overtime and staying up late since a year ago, this overwork has not affected the doctor's skin.

Cool, delicate, soft, but so thin.

Kal'tsit was very thin, at least much thinner than she was a year ago in Fang Zhou's memory.

Ark began to examine Kal'tsit's body through the power of artificial intelligence, and all the indicators of Kal'tsit's body were presented in front of him one by one.

Kal'tsit was passively pulled by Ark. She wanted to struggle, but she felt that Ark's hand began to exert force unconsciously, and that force made her weak struggle invisible.

Arriving at the edge of the floating island, he embraced the doctor who occupied a crucial part in his memory without the doctor's protest.

This time the main goal was not to retreat, so there was no rough horizontal hold like before, but a princess hold.

Silence was still the main atmosphere between the two. Kal'tsit didn't seem to want to speak, or rather, she didn't know what to say now. She just put one hand on Fang Ark's shoulder and gently pulled his collar with the other to keep her body balanced.

She had never imagined that her reunion with the Doctor would come so suddenly, and under such strange circumstances.

Yesterday Amiya said that she dreamed of the Doctor and wanted to meet him. She knew that this day would come and she would bring that person back to this world.

But in just one day, she was still not mentally prepared to face that person again.

With what emotion and attitude should she face him?

Anger? Questioning? Or indifference and hostility?

"How's Amiya doing lately?"

Fang Zhou started the conversation first.

Kal'tsit's lips moved slightly, and her voice was a little flat.

"She's fine, but the responsibility of leading Rhodes Island suddenly fell on that child, which made her a little tired. And she dreamed about you yesterday."

Fang Zhou's hand tightened slightly, which Kal'tsit thought was Amiya's loss of composure when she heard that she dreamed of him. Little did he know that Fang Zhou was just shocked that Amiya could express her meaning so fluently in a short sentence of less than 40 words.

Is this the sun working the night shift?

"……Um."

Arriving at a relatively large floating island, Kal'tsit landed gently, the cat ears on her head trembled, she put her hands in her pockets and turned to look at the Ark.

"She said you said some strange things to her in your dream."

Fang Zhou raised her head. Was it Kel'tsit's illusion? She felt that after she said this, Fang Zhou's eyes seemed to become more intense.

"What did I say in my dream?"

Kal'tsit's eyes flickered, and Fang Ark was silent.

"You were born to be king." ×2

"!!!"

Kal'tsit's eyes widened, and the two of them said this almost at the same time.

"The time has come. I have to speed up here too. This is the last mask."

When Fang Zhou said this, he looked in one direction. Kal'tsit looked over there but saw nothing.

"I need an explanation."

When Fang Zhou turned his gaze back, he met Kal'tsit's serious eyes.

"No, you don't need to."

"what?"

"We don't need a definitive explanation. Sometimes, too much explanation doesn't make those who understand understand wisely. Instead, it makes things worse. The complete truth will sometimes only drag this land into a deeper abyss. You understand this better than I do, Kal'tsit. What you and I need to understand is... Amiya. She is the last hope of this world."

The last hope.

"Amiya wants you to go back."

"This is not something I can control, Kelsey."

Kal'tsit didn't understand what this man was talking about.

“We are walking on this finite yet relatively infinite earth, and we cannot entirely decide where we will go.”

"you……!"

Kal'tsit wanted to say something but saw Fang Ark slowly walking towards her with his arms open. Then, the sudden hug made all the words choke her throat.

What's wrong with this guy?

Under the hug, Kal'tsit's body, which was thinner than before, was clearly presented in Fang Ark's perception.

The blue magic power transferred from Fang Zhou's body to Kal'tsit's body. The sudden relaxation of her body made Kal'tsit, who was originally tense, begin to relax. The original physical discomfort seemed to disappear under the influence of a warm force, and her tense mind also relaxed and leaned on Fang Zhou's shoulder.

"Here's something for you. Don't take amphetamines to stay awake anymore. Take care of yourself. Your body needs protein and fat, and you've been sleep deprived for a long time. Well, with your temper, you wouldn't listen even if I told you. But you have to understand, Amiya wants me to go back, but she also can't leave you, at least for the sake of the child. You have to take care of yourself."

Ark let go of Kal'tsit, and an octagonal stone with a Pelo pattern carved on it appeared in his hand. It was then fixed with a rope and he put it around her neck regardless of her resistance. Finally, he gently tapped Kal'tsit's forehead, and the withered yellow magic power merged into Kal'tsit's consciousness at that moment.

Kal'tsit didn't know how Ark knew about her physical condition, or how he knew that she was taking amphetamines to stimulate her mental activity and maintain work efficiency. However, this man appeared in Amiya's dream yesterday and appeared in front of her today. Mysterious things happened one after another. Kal'tsit felt that she had too many questions to ask.

"Amiya held a company meeting today and agreed to go to Chernobog to find you. Rhodes Island is now on its way to Chernobog."

"Got it. I'm also on my way to Chernobog now."

"???"

The Ark isn't in Chernobyl?

Fang Zhou had seen the shocked lynx face countless times today. He was thinking about the next development direction of the Integration Movement.

First of all, the Reunion Movement will not change its goal. The current goal of the Reunion Movement is to establish a base in the Sochi Plain south of Ursus, while Ark’s opinion is to capture a city in the south as a stronghold, and the city he has his eyes on is Chernobyl.

As an emerging capital city that neither belongs to the old military aristocracy nor has an ambiguous attitude towards the emerging capitalist aristocracy, Chernobyl is the most suitable for the integration movement.

The city itself was also a discarded pawn in the plans of the military aristocracy and Kosice.

How do you say that.

You don't want it anymore, right? Then I'll pick it up.

"You really don't know what happened to Amiya yesterday?"

"I can probably guess that this is a sign of history moving forward, Kal'tsit. Since yesterday, Terra's history has begun a new chapter, and I, and we, are preparing for the birth of that new history."

As Fang Zhou said this, a pitch-black shadow door opened behind Kal'tsit.

"Go back, Kal'tsit. It was an accident that you came to this place. I hope you can keep it a secret."

Fang Zhou said this and gently pushed Kal'tsit. The latter fell into the shadows while she was about to say something.

At the last moment before leaving that strange world, she heard those familiar words.

"We will meet again eventually, but not now."

Chapter 40 Kelsey’s Physical Examination

"So, Dr. Kelsey just disappeared like that?"

Amiya was wearing a loose coat and had not had time to change out of her nightgown.

In the office of the director of the medical department, the little rabbit's eyes looked empty. The huge black monster was squatting behind her, with its sharp claws on Amiya's shoulders, making a comforting low growl.

"Mon3tr, thank you, I..."

why?

Amiya sat weakly on the sofa.

She couldn't understand why this happened. She had just seen the Doctor in her dream yesterday. Although the Doctor said a lot of strange things in the dream, being able to see that person, even in a dream, still made Amiya excited.

And during yesterday's inquiry, Amiya also knew that Dr. Kal'tsit did know where the Doctor was now, and also told her that in today's Rhodes Island meeting, it was decided to go to Chernobog City in Ursus to welcome the Doctor back to Rhodes Island.

Then soon he will be able to see the Doctor in reality instead of just in a dream. The little rabbit is in a very good mood all day.

But who would have thought that at the end of this good day, he would receive a strange message from Warfarin that Dr. Kal'tsit had been attacked and disappeared in her office.

When he received the notice and rushed to the medical department office, what caught his eyes was the elite operators who had already gathered and the messy scene in the office.

The tables, chairs, and sofas were covered with marks of beatings and tears from sharp weapons. According to the description of Ascalon, who was present at the time, the marks of tears from sharp weapons should have come from Mon3tr's claws, while the marks of beatings should have been caused by the attacker.

Who on earth could have attacked Kal'tsit in Rhodes Island? And in the face of Mon3tr?

Just how powerful Mon3tr is remains an unknown. After all, few people in Rhodes Island know of its existence. Only the elders who have followed Kal'tsit and Theresa since the beginning, when Rhodes Island was still known as the Tower of Babel, know the true identity of the monster Kal'tsit has raised. Their assessment of its strength is surprisingly consistent: it is formidable.

Being able to kidnap Kal'tsit in the presence of Mon3tr means that the opponent is definitely not an easy opponent.
