Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Stargazing and photography are hobbies that Bai Ye has retained since her previous life.

The patriot in the photo seems somewhat...cute?

It's like a cat being put in a cardboard box.

Wait, why would I have this thought?

Bai Ye shook his head, trying to shake off this strange thought.

……

"Bai Ye, take us away..."

"Boss Baiye, let's go fencing!"

"A newbie asking how to change their class to a 'leakage master'?"

Outside the aircraft, the players were huddled together in a chaotic mess. They had just finished wiping out an outpost with the guerrillas and were now resting in the camp. Since they had nothing else to do, they joined in the fun with Bai Ye.

Bai Ye couldn't stand it anymore. The group of players were like a thousand ducks quacking, buzzing and babbling, and no one knew what they were saying.

No one knows how Han Dajiba got used to it, but Bai Ye couldn't hold back any longer and fled in his aircraft as if escaping.

"Will he make Mr. Patriot jump out of the spaceship this time?"

Watching the "Bad Guy" slowly ascend into the sky, Stewart couldn't help but complain.

To be honest, the A4 preparatory team is now somewhat traumatized by this kind of aircraft.

Although they had experienced falling from above many times, and each time Bai Ye had managed to catch them safely, this kind of project, which only Feng Ti Energy Drink would invest in, was torture for their hearts every time they experienced it.

“The teacher still knows what’s important… probably,” Melantha said softly.

Although her tone was uncertain, she was indeed speaking up for Bai Ye. If Bai Ye heard her, he would probably feel that he hadn't taught this disciple in vain.

Only Aya's expression was somewhat gloomy.

Patriots, she recognized them—the terrifying war machines of Ursus.

Who exactly are these infected individuals?

Especially that suspicious adopted daughter of a nobleman, who turned out to be a red dragon. Heaven have mercy, there are still living red dragons in this world.

Ursus soldiers, infected, yetis, and even weirdos are all mixed together, plus an unpredictable Rhodes Island manager—this place is a deep, murky place.

……

Bai Ye certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to abandon his patriotism.

In fact, he and Patriot were in opposite positions—one in the cockpit and the other in the cargo hold—so they didn't really have much to say to each other.

So this time alone was spent in silence.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Bai Ye felt that the aircraft was a bit too heavy. He even worried that it might crash. Sure enough, having a big shot with you would put a lot of psychological pressure on you.

After a long flight, Bai Ye finally approached Rhodes Island's airspace. This time, he did not stop when passing Lungmen, but simply drove his cloaking device past it from a distance.

"The Rhodes Island spacecraft 'Bad Guy' has been detected approaching."

Bai Ye deactivated the stealth device, and the bridge control tower detected the aircraft's presence.

“PRTS, please notify Dr. Kal'tsit and arrange a secure visitor access channel with a level 7 access level.”

Bai Ye contacted PRTS directly.

Rhodes Island sometimes secretly admits infected individuals with sensitive identities. To accommodate these special visitors, Rhodes Island also establishes specially authorized access points.

PRTS confirmed Bai Ye's identity and access level. With supervisor-level access, Bai Ye could move freely in most areas of Rhodes Island.

Meanwhile, in her office, Dr. Kal'tsit's eyelids were twitching uncontrollably.

She had just stood up when she received a notification from PRTS:

Bai Ye brought a visitor with a special identity to Rhodes Island.

"hiss--"

Dr. Kal'tsit frowned immediately.

My heart skipped a beat.

She was genuinely worried that Bai Ye had pulled some trick up his sleeve again.

It's hard to imagine what someone who dares to try to knock her unconscious on their first meeting would actually do.

Chapter Four: An Epic Meeting

Inside the hangar, Bai Ye did not immediately lead Patriot off the aircraft; they waited for Rhodes Island's reception staff and for the green channel to be opened.

Patriot's identity is too special, and Bai Ye certainly wouldn't want him to be exposed to the public eye.

Rhodes Island is not in a good position to make direct contact with the Reunion Movement in Chernobog right now, as that could lead to them getting involved with the Ursus Army and being hunted down on land by their high-speed warships.

Therefore, the operation to receive the patriots had to be carried out in secret.

"Mr. Patriot, how about we make a bet?"

Feeling a bit bored, Bai Ye started trying to strike up a conversation with Patriot.

This process is somewhat painful; it's difficult to communicate with a mountain, which is harder than a rock.

Patriot glanced at Bai Ye through the eyes beneath his full-face helmet. To be honest, he found this strange young man somewhat hard to understand.

Having experienced countless things and met all sorts of people, he had never encountered a young man like Bai Ye.

There are too many contradictions in him.

His movements are unpredictable.

For example, right now, he has absolutely no idea what the young man in front of him is trying to express.

"I think you'll be very surprised when you meet my boss."

Bai Ye was preparing the Patriots mentally.

To be honest, he didn't know what would happen next.

As a player, a thrill of recklessness and curiosity dominated and provoked his senses.

The Patriot said slowly, "You already know the answer. It's not fair to bet on it."

Bai Ye's eyes widened at his father's words. This guy was actually answering his question in a very serious manner?

Bai Ye had originally prepared herself to be ignored...

"You're surprised?"

The patriot seemed to be in a good mood.

“Yes, I originally thought you were a proud and serious person who wouldn’t take my jokes seriously.” Bai Ye nodded.

“Ha. General, haven’t I told you about my past?” Patriot straightened his back. “In the past, I also gave speeches in front of my soldiers.”

Bai Ye tilted his head: "Like this, how do you talk?"

He imitated his uncle's way of speaking.

Bai Ye remembered that in the 20th century on Earth, when barbaric wars were still raging, a certain king of the Daiying Empire gave a speech in the same way—he was a stutterer.

It's exhausting to listen to them talk.

"My throat is injured due to Oripathy, so I can't speak normally," Patriot said, touching his neck as he explained why he spoke haltingly.

"Has the ore already reached your throat?" Bai Ye frowned.

Having systematically studied medicine, Bai Ye also has some understanding of Oripathy. Despite being just an ordinary field operations department head, he would be perfectly capable of handling the work in the medical department.

Bai Ye wanted to say something more.

His terminal notified him that the person in charge of receiving him had arrived.

Bai Ye opened the aircraft's hatch, and as the door slowly lowered, he saw Dr. Kal'tsit and Amiya standing in front of him.

Bai Ye was actually somewhat unfamiliar with Amiya. He met Dr. Kal'tsit more often, but rarely encountered Amiya.

But that's not the point.

When Patriot's figure slowly appeared before everyone, both Amiya and Dr. Kal'tsit showed expressions of surprise.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Bai Ye to bring this person to Rhodes Island.

It's truly heavyweight—both literally and physically.

"Bai Ye, you..."

Dr. Kal'tsit opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, such as why Bai Ye brought Wendigo to Rhodes Island, whether he had some purpose, and whether Bai Ye had betrayed Rhodes Island.

Now, besides Dr. Kal'tsit herself, there's only Amiya and Red hiding in the shadows.

In such a confined space, if this war machine were to go berserk... no one could stop him.

There wasn't enough time to mobilize elite operator squads.

For the first time, Dr. Kal'tsit's expression was somewhat uncertain.

……

However, the patriots were even more surprised.

He looked at the young-looking Felin in front of him, and the young Carter standing beside her, and opened his mouth.

His gaze was mainly focused on Felin.

"You...how could you?"

Patriots were also somewhat at a loss.

He never expected to see Kal'tsit here.

Bai Ye's actions completely stunned both sides...

As expected of you!

“…” Dr. Kal'tsit took a deep breath and looked at Patriot slowly, saying, “It’s been a long time.”

"Bozokasti".

Amiya looked on with childlike eyes.

What is going on?

She couldn't help but look at Bai Ye, hoping to get an explanation from him.

Out of politeness, she didn't even use her ability to perceive emotions.

However, Bai Ye was clearly unaware of Amiya's actions; he was currently observing the situation and was surprised that the two actually knew each other.

Based on the plot, the Valletta Academy deduced that Dr. Kal'tsit and Patriot were old acquaintances.

However, Bai Ye wasn't interested in the plot at the time, and didn't pay attention to it when he was running dungeons.

Now it seems the Valletta Society is indeed superhuman; they were able to predict this.

That was so much fun!

“You… Kal'tsit, Lady?” Patriot even wondered if he had been under some kind of Letanian spell or some ancient Sarkaz witchcraft.

Bai Ye wasn't lying; he was genuinely shocked.

He hadn't seen Kal'tsit for a long time.

"It's me." Dr. Kal'tsit regained her calm and composed demeanor.

Patriot glanced at White Night and then looked at Doctor Kal'tsit.

He quickly realized why he initially thought he was seeing things or hallucinating.

"Lord, why... haven't you grown old?"

Her appearance was exactly the same as when we parted last time.

Time has left no trace on this person.

"..." Bai Ye's eyes widened.
