Herrscher of Reason's Arknights

Of course she knew Amiya; her childhood playmate had finally grown up so much.

However, when Yelena glanced at Amiya's chest covered by her blue-gray coat, she felt that perhaps there were things about her that hadn't grown up yet.

Because she blended into the crowd and had already concealed her presence to an extreme degree, almost no one noticed the white rabbit hiding in the crowd.

"Rhodes Island and the Guard Bureau agreed to meet at 10 o'clock, and it is now 10:14."

You are fourteen minutes late. You have wasted fourteen minutes of my time.

Chen Huijie looked quite displeased, her eyebrows slightly raised.

The bombing had already kept the Guard Bureau very busy, and as a result, the Rhodes Island personnel who were supposed to meet them were also fourteen minutes late.

For the Guard Bureau, time is of the essence.

This made Chen somewhat irritable.

"I'm sorry, Officer Chen, the crowds outside the quarantine checkpoint are delaying us..."

I don't want to hear any explanations.

As Chen Huijie expressed her dissatisfaction, her eyes quickly scanned the crowd.

There weren't many people from Rhodes Island. Besides the agreed-upon Amiya, who was the nominal leader of Rhodes Island, there was a white-haired girl and two infected individuals carrying weapons, who were probably guards.

After all, it's normal for a leader to bring a few people with him when he goes out.

"she is?"

Chen Huijie looked at the white-haired girl.

Of the group, only this girl looked the most unusual.

She was a girl with short gray hair, and her unusually indifferent gaze seemed to be wandering off into the distance.

Nothing had been able to capture her attention before.

However, to Chen Huijie, the girl's appearance, which lacked any racial characteristics, was simply too strange.

"she is?"

"She is the doctor, our strategy expert."

A strategy expert? Her?

Chen Huijie glanced at the girl but didn't investigate further. She was just an employee of the other company, but she didn't seem to be infected.

However, this suspicion can be seen as an unfounded distrust of those infected.

"Come with me, and don't be late next time."

Rhodes Island...

Watching that small, inconspicuous group of people gradually enter through the side gate and disappear from Yelena's sight, the girl took advantage of the guards' blind spot for a few seconds and disappeared into the crowd.

Yelena, who is no longer human, could easily make an ordinary person unable to find her.

Running along the massive border wall of Lungmen, there was no one in this area. After all, no one would think that anyone could climb over the towering wall without any tools.

Moreover, there were members of the Guard Bureau constantly patrolling behind them, making it virtually flawless.

Not a single bird could fly in.

However, in Yelena's view, the red dots emitting confirmation signals behind the wall made her fully aware of the guards' positions.

There's no need for all that trouble. Just jump in. With so few guards, sealing them all in crystal to grant them immortality would be a piece of cake.

Another voice appeared in the girl's mind.

The personality known as the Herrscher of Death seemed to disdain Yelena's rather cautious form of infiltration.

"I'm not here to kill anyone."

As she spoke, seeing that the time was right, the girl suddenly leaped.

Like a nimble cheetah, it leaped over the towering border wall and landed silently behind it.

And at that moment, none of the guards were paying attention to this place.

Seeing Yelena still dreaming of a fairytale where she wouldn't hurt anyone, the Herrscher of Death simply scoffed and remained silent.

How could one be proud of making changes without bleeding?

P.S.: Lately, I don't know what's wrong with me, I just haven't been feeling well, and I'm incredibly sleepy. It doesn't feel like a good sign. [Slumps over]

Chapter 371 [Creations Beyond the World]

So troublesome, school starts, headache, sob sob!

·····················

"Dr. Kelsey!"

Longmen, Wei Mansion.

As the ruler of the entire Longmen, the Wei residence naturally also served the function of receiving important guests.

Inside the massive, ancient-style building, in a slightly luxurious reception room, Wei Yanwu was meeting with an "advisor" from Rhodes Island.

Of course, although she was called an advisor, in Wei Yanwu's eyes, she could see that the woman in front of her who called herself a "doctor" was the real controller of Rhodes Island.

Although the child named Amiya is ostensibly the leader of Rhodes Island, the person in front of you is actually the true person in charge of Rhodes Island.

That is why Wei Yanwu met with this Rhodes Island consultant, who claimed to be a doctor, separately in advance.

Kelsey.

A woman he couldn't understand.

Wei Yanwu didn't dare to claim that he was particularly knowledgeable, but he had met many people over the years and had gained some experience in judging people.

As the ruler of Longmen, a keen political sense is a basic requirement; those who cannot do this would have died in officialdom long ago.

After all, political games and real business battles are quite similar; cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.

Many people believe that business warfare is as elegant as depicted in stories. However, in reality, if conditions permit, competitors in business warfare can hire assassins to physically eliminate all rivals.

The same applies to political games.

The level of cruelty is only higher than that of the shopping mall, not lower.

Therefore, she believed that Wei Yanwu's ability to judge people was quite respectable.

Except for this woman named Kal'tsit.

This woman is like someone behind frosted glass, making it impossible to see what's inside, but you can tell she's definitely hiding something.

His identity could never be that of a simple Rhodes Island advisor.

Even if the secret of her identity as the true leader of Rhodes Island is too naive for her true identity.

Those emerald green eyes revealed an ancient, almost frightening, indifference.

Another immortal being of unknown origin?

Such beings as immortal beings, who do not die even in old age, are considered demons.

The longer one lives, the more one will detach oneself from the category of "human".

The long lifespan of these immortal beings grants them a level of understanding and insight that is difficult for normal creatures to attain, and all the eras to which they belong are fading into the past.

The cycle of life and death of organisms has also become less precious.

No one knows what these old things are thinking, which is why immortal beings are always feared.

You can't see through her, but she can see through you.

"As an advisor to Rhodes Island, you must have some insightful opinions, Dr. Kal'tsit."

He never revealed his true thoughts to the outside world, and the old dragon, who never showed his emotions, smiled calmly as he spoke.

It may seem like they're taking advice into consideration, but in reality, it's just a way to let the other party make the first move.

"Please have a seat, Dr. Kal'tsit."

Of course, basic hospitality should still be observed.

Behind the forced, business-like smile on the clothes lies a sharp calculation.

Rhodes Island's basic intelligence had already been delivered to the undelayed party before the enemy arrived.

An armed company composed of infected individuals openly claims to be aiming to change the oppressive status quo faced by infected people.

However, the difference is that peaceful means are sought as much as possible, so even the armament is kept to a minimum.

This is different from the Reunion Movement, which is outspoken, aggressive, and even makes no attempt to conceal its aggressiveness.

However, it still doesn't inspire much trust.

“Mr. Wei, you should know that simply building high walls and checkpoints will not stop the integration movement. They will not go through the border checkpoints set up by Longmen.”

Chernobog has been destroyed; the once-fortified city collapsed overnight.

Rumors circulated that the Reunion Movement released a neurotoxin targeting civilians in the city center, instantly turning the city into a no-man's land.

The rapid paralysis of major transportation routes gave the Reunion Movement the opportunity to quickly invade various areas of Chernobog.

However, this information is currently inaccurate and even quite vague.

It is true that some people have witnessed the release of that bizarre nerve gas, but what exactly it is, or what weapon it is, is still difficult to determine.

What Wei Yanwu wants to figure out most right now is how much of this stuff is still in the Integration Movement, how much of it is usable, how difficult it is to use, and specific photos of it.

Only in this way can we prevent such things from easily appearing in Longmen and causing widespread chaos.

After all, Lungmen's population density is much higher than Chernobog's, and the consequences would be unimaginable if such an unidentified weapon were used in the city.

The matter must be investigated as soon as possible.

"In the doctor's opinion?"

"Only the infected can truly understand what the infected are thinking. Perhaps Mr. Wei believes the Guard Bureau can clear the infected from Lungmen and maintain order, but the Guard Bureau's so-called experience is limited to dealing with unarmed, ordinary infected. The Reunion Movement won't simply surrender; they aren't just armed mobs that can be dispersed with shouts and water cannons..."

"—They are an army, this is a war, and the Guard Bureau alone cannot defend Lungmen."

"I would presume that doctors have experience in effectively combating the integration movement."

"of course."

With that, Kal'tsit simply clapped her hands.

"Dr. Kelsey!"

Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps came from outside the meeting hall.

A brown-haired calf followed Chen Huijie in.

That's probably Amiya.

Wei Yanwu had seen the child's photo in the briefing.

A rather special Carter.

Although Wei Yanwu was unaware of the inside story, Carters gave off a rather discordant feeling.

Amiya heard Kal'tsit's words and quickly stepped forward, placing a silver briefcase on the coffee table between the two of them.

"This is?"

"I cannot disclose specific details, but I can vouch for it with my reputation. This is what the Reunion Movement calls its 'weapon of war'."

The moment the suitcase was opened.

A black metal cube appeared in the center of the box.

It seems to have sensed that the box has been opened correctly.

The metal box also automatically opened its external modules.

The interior was then displayed before Wei Yanwu's eyes.

It was a tube of reagent, double-helix shaped and tightly fixed in the center of a metal block, completely protected...

The reagent was...unsettling and eerie...purple.

"This is?!"
