Looking at the Doctor now that he had calmed down, Yu Jin felt that compared to his previous frightened appearance, the Doctor seemed to be suppressing something.

After a long while, Yu Jin smiled.

"Walking around alone is too boring. I happen to be looking around too, so let's go together. If we run into anyone from Rhodes Island, we can take you back with us. To be honest, given your health condition, I'm not comfortable leaving you alone."

"...We're not familiar with each other."

"Just consider it as me forcing you."

Looking at the indifferent girl in front of him who showed no emotion, Yu Jin walked behind her, put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her forward.

"Let's go, let's go. There's nothing to do here anyway. Or, if you know where your camp is, I can take you back."

-

"...You think this is merely a riot orchestrated by the Reunion Movement and the Infected? Governor Wei, with your intelligence, you couldn't possibly be unaware of the bloodshed hidden within. Yes, Rhodes Island's price isn't low." The Doctor's voice was clear and calm:

"But if I may be frank, at this moment, in this place, looking around the entire Lungmen, who else can you rely on?"

Kal'tsit and Amiya stood behind the Doctor with somewhat strange looks in their eyes.

Kal'tsit was originally talking to Wei Yanwu, but the Doctor didn't think Kal'tsit was very good at talking, so he couldn't help but step in himself.

At this moment, Kal'tsit looked at the Doctor with a subtle, scrutinizing gaze.

Amiya, on the other hand, looked somewhat nervous and worried.

Wei Yanwu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, put down his pipe, and said in a deep voice as cold as a deep pool: "Doctor, I can take your remarks as a provocation against Lungmen."

"Provocation?" the doctor chuckled.

“You misunderstand, Governor Wei. Longmen is our chosen ally for the future. How could I provoke an ally? I am simply... laying out the reality on your table without embellishment.”

Wei Yanwu's brows furrowed even more, and the pipe twirled unconsciously between his fingers.

at this time--

"enough!"

A furious shout rang out. Chen Huijie took a step forward, her gaze piercing the Doctor like a blade: "Rhodes Island! Put away your arrogant attitude! Without you, my Guard Bureau can still quell the invasion and chaos!"

Upon hearing this, the doctor slowly turned his head to look at the agitated Chen, his tone inquisitive: "Oh? Commander Chen? The Guard Bureau... how many combat-ready men does it have? Do you know what kind of enemy you are about to face? Do you understand the true players and scale behind this chaos? What... makes you so certain that the Guard Bureau is capable of withstanding all of this?"

The doctor looked at the sword at Chen's waist.

"Is it because of this... sword that you can't control?"

"Or is it some kind of blind confidence? Confident enough that you can single-handedly hold off an army of thousands? Of course—" the doctor changed the subject.

"If you truly have the ability to turn the tide, I will sincerely praise your skill. But what about your subordinates? Are they all capable of taking on a hundred men single-handedly and facing death without fear? Are you planning to use this ignorant courage to lead them into this vortex that far exceeds your imagination?!"

The doctor clapped his hands, as if to encourage him, and said, "If you succeed, I will definitely say you're amazing. But what about your soldiers? They're all waiting for orders, right? Are you going to use your ignorance to get them to follow you onto this battlefield?"

"you--!"

Chen's face flushed instantly, her anger almost overwhelming her reason, and just as she was about to explode—

"Commander Chen!" Wei Yanwu's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, instantly suppressing Chen's impulse.

"Now is not the time for you to speak. Stay calm. If you cannot, please leave for the time being."

Chen suddenly looked up at Wei Yanwu's face, which had completely lost its composure and was now filled with solemnity and seriousness.

Her chest heaved violently, and in the end, she could only glare fiercely at the doctor, suppressing her almost bursting anger, and take a step back.

The air in the council chamber seemed to freeze.

Wei Yanwu then turned his gaze entirely to the Doctor, his eyes so sharp they seemed to dissect the Doctor from the inside out: "The Doctor of Rhodes Island... you seem to know far too much?"

The doctor tapped his brain with his finger: "Not by much, but compared to the Lungmen people who are still in the dark and overestimate the controllability of the situation, I see things a little further and a little deeper."

Wei Yanwu remained silent for a full ten seconds, a silence that felt like a boulder pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Finally, his deep voice broke the silence: "...Could you perhaps reveal a little something?"

"A minor problem, but the Dragon Gate is destroyed."

These words immediately caused the expressions of everyone present to change, however...

"A big problem: war between the two countries."

Looking at the crowd before him, the doctor's tone remained calm: "That's all I can reveal, so, Governor Wei..."

"Do you understand? Rhodes Island may need Lungmen's help, but Lungmen... needs Rhodes Island more right now. You can choose not to trust us, but please weigh the consequences carefully. This distrust could lead to an unbearable price for you and the entire Lungmen. Think it through..."

"The mainstay of Longmen".

Book 1: Chapter 126 Doctor: Where is Precyth?

The night breeze in Longmen brushed against my face, bringing a refreshing sense of tranquility.

Stepping out of Wei Yanwu's office, the Doctor felt that his actions had been incredibly successful. Although this was no longer the world he was familiar with, he had roughly deduced the outline of this world based on his brief conversation with Kal'tsit and his subtle observations of Amiya on the way here.

This is very likely the world that Ember once described—the world where he first joined Rhodes Island, or a parallel universe that is highly similar to it.

"Why did I have to transmigrate to a place like this...? And most importantly, why am I a woman in this world?!" the Doctor lamented inwardly.

To make matters worse, her friends in her own chat group saw that she had been dressed up as a woman!

"Thank goodness it's Mei, she's easy to fool. If those bastards in the group found out, my life would be over!"

Although he has found a teammate, the Doctor does not intend to acknowledge them as his own. The main reason is that he believes there might be some meaning behind the identities they have been assigned. Of course, he will not say the most crucial thing, as he is too ashamed to face anyone for the time being.

He then used his acquired core ability, Connection Resonance, to connect his consciousness with someone, enabling him to transmit the information he knew to others.

He told Mei to hold back for now and wait until the chat group was unblocked a day later, then they could explain their circumstances and take action when the time was right.

The doctor sighed deeply again. Why has it been so quiet since just now?

The Doctor turned around in confusion and immediately saw Kal'tsit staring intently at him with a stern face.

"What...what is she doing? I didn't provoke her with the photo. Why is she breathing like that? Could it be that what I just did disrupted some of her plans? Is that why she's acting like this?" the doctor wondered.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his previous actions. Even in a different world, he believed that he would take the initiative in his own world instead of letting Wei Yanwu manipulate his side.

However... the doctor took things too for granted.

It was impossible for Ember to tell the Doctor the complete story of the entire world in great detail.

The experiences of this doctor in this world are completely different from his own past.

This huge difference is bound to trigger unexpected chain reactions...like a blank sheet of paper.

The doctor's paper was painted with bold strokes by the group members.

But the paper of this world doctor... was shrouded in a thick fog by a group of riddle-makers, and the trust that was entrusted to him without any proof, was stained with another obscure and incomprehensible color.

Kal'tsit, with a sullen face, walked past the Doctor without saying a word and headed straight for the vehicle.

Just as they brushed past the Doctor, a cold, harsh whisper reached his ears: "Return to the Rhodes Island base first... Doctor."

"So, did I do something wrong? Or did they discover something?" Cold sweat dripped down the Doctor's forehead. Under the concerned gazes of Amiya and the others, he maintained his composure, silently nodded, and got into the car.

As an economic hub, Longmen boasts a dazzling night view, with the colorful scenery flashing past the car windows.

However, even the most dazzling night view could not calm the turbulent waves in Kal'tsit's heart.

She pressed her lips together, her gaze fixed on the fleeting light and shadow outside the window, but her thoughts drifted back to the past.

“Impossible, how could she… I clearly confirmed it back then! The memory erasure should have already taken effect.” Kal'tsit’s fingers tightened unconsciously.

"But her behavior in Wei Yanwu's office just now... that tone, that air of complete control, it was simply..."

"She's just like... her from the Tower of Babel era!"

If that's really the case...

Kal'tsit's face instantly turned ashen.

Does this mean that all the sacrifices that person made were in vain?

A tremendous unease and a chilling confusion swirled and pounded in her chest.

If that's really the case... then where will this land end up?

Seeing Kal'tsit's increasingly somber mood, the Doctor felt he should say something to ease the tension, and most importantly, to dispel any suspicion she might have about him.

"I can't say too much, and I can't act like I'm just putting on a show. I need to use a few key words to dispel her concerns. Kal'tsit and I have something in common... I've got it!"

The doctor believed himself to be a genius!

It's amazing that they were able to come up with a solution in such a short time!

In the next few seconds, he would utter those crucial words, and after saying them, he believed that Kal'tsit's attitude towards him would undergo a complete transformation.

The show is about to begin!

The carriage fell into a deathly silence, with only the low hum of the engine.

Just as Kal'tsit was almost suffocating under the weight of that heavy possibility...

A female voice, tinged with just the right amount of confusion, broke the silence: "Kal'tsit...Precyth, where is she?"

Become!

He refused to believe it. He reasoned that not many people knew the name Precys, and that the mere mention of that name would surely establish his identity as a doctor.

The professor snapped his fingers inwardly with a sense of smug satisfaction.

Once you hear this name, you should...

However, when Kal'tsit suddenly turned around, the Doctor's smugness vanished.

Because at this moment, Kal'tsit's usually indifferent face was filled with... an expression of near horror!

His pupils constricted sharply, his face turned deathly pale, as if he had heard a cry from the devil!

Doctor: "...Someone save me, I think I've completely messed up."

However, the doctor was unaware that his four words seemed to trigger some kind of special reaction.

The sound becomes an invisible echo, flowing through the ocean of information until all the information reaches the terminal.

In the indescribable ocean, the surface of the water is like a shattered mirror, reflecting countless images, and a soft female voice echoes in this ocean.

"I am here......"

-

Kevin silently followed at the edge of the surging crowd, his gaze calmly sweeping over everything before him.

Insults, resentment, hoarse cries... the patients with Oripathy were firmly kept outside the bustling city of Lungmen by fully armed soldiers, seemingly worlds apart.

This was a scene Kevin had never seen before.

He could see the fear in the eyes of the children and the despair in the eyes of the adults.

These clear reactions entered his eyes, making Kevin feel uncomfortable.

He knew that Lungmen was doing the right thing, because he also knew how many Reunion Movement members had infiltrated this team, but even more innocent people were involved!

Kevin turned around and looked at the large number of refugees, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Should I do something? Is there anything I can do?"

Kevin glanced at the sword at his waist; this was the core skill he had acquired this time.

The sword of liberation.

It's a very powerful core skill, yet even so, Kevin still feels lost.

Where should his sword be pointed?

And who are his enemies?

Kevin sighed, "Ugh, this is so annoying. If they were here, they wouldn't be thinking about these things like this."

The Doctor is smart; he'll definitely figure out where their swords should be pointed. Ember may be stupid, but he's definitely not like me now, not knowing what to do. If Star were here, he'd knock away everything that annoyed her.

"If you think about it that way... I don't seem to have changed at all."

Just then, a hand gently rested on his shoulder.
