Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Although we got nothing, this thing is useless to me anyway, so I'll take it."

As he spoke, Bai Ye walked towards the office door.

"Really, be careful!" Warfarin hurriedly reached out and caught the test tube that Bai Ye threw out.

She carefully put away this precious item.

"By the way, Bai Ye."

Just as Bai Ye placed his hand on the doorknob, Warfarin suddenly called out to him again.

"Although Dr. Kal'tsit may blame you, I still want to thank you for what happened with Bodracasti."

“He’s one of the last of us. I’m not a philanthropist, nor am I that kind of nice guy, but… we’re Sarkaz. Even if I’m a Bloodlord and that old man is a Wendigo, it’s still the same.”

"The Sarkaz have had enough of a hard time on this land."

“I’m so glad he survived.”

"Thank you, Bai Ye."

Bai Ye did not turn back.

"It's just a transaction. You can thank me or whatever you want."

With that, he waved his hand and walked out of the office.

……

"What a huge loss..."

As Bai Ye stepped outside, he stomped his feet in the hallway.

I suddenly have to write an extra task report, and I have to write it by hand, without being able to use the assistant!

Then, you learn a secret, but you don't know it completely. This half-baked state is infuriating, like following a book and finding that the author has stopped reading halfway through. Being stuck halfway makes you want to send a knife to the author.

Then White Night rushed into Dr. Kal'tsit's office...

“That’s a good expression.” Dr. Kal’tsit sat down at the table. “It’s rare to see you so angry. Some people say you never get angry.”

"Does Dr. Kal'tsit also pay attention to these trivial things?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing that happens on Rhodes Island is big or small. Understanding the situation of our employees is also part of our job," Dr. Kal'tsit replied calmly.

She glanced at Bai Ye and said, "It seems that Miss Warfarin ultimately didn't tell you anything."

"After all, you're so scary, she wouldn't dare," Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to know this now,” Dr. Kal’tsit explained softly after a moment of silence.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but rather, there are some things that you shouldn't have to bear."

Dr. Kal'tsit said, picking up the terminal from the table: "You joined Rhodes Island, probably for the resources of the field department, to communicate with those... beings?"

"The size of the field operations department and the number of offices expanded with your appointment, and Rhode Island has indeed benefited from this."

Bai Ye remained silent.

He knew that these things couldn't be hidden from the old woman in front of him.

“Let’s stop here.” Dr. Kal’tsit looked up at White Night. “I don’t care what your goals and motives are—as long as you haven’t done anything to harm Rhodes Island. The current situation is enough.”

"..."

“The kind of person you are, if you find out something, you’ll definitely interfere. So, we can take responsibility for some things. You don’t need to make sacrifices for irrelevant people and things.”

"That is our destiny, not yours."

Dr. Kal'tsit looked at White Night, her voice gentle.

Chapter Ten: I'm Not That Kind of Person

"I think Dr. Kal'tsit might have some misunderstandings about me."

"I only joined Rhodes Island to satisfy my own curiosity. Just as you said, I joined Rhodes Island only to take advantage of it. I am a selfish person. Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is a human instinct."

Bai Ye spoke slowly, tilting his head to look at Dr. Kal'tsit.

“If that were really the case, I wouldn’t have let you enter Rhodes Island, much less become the supervisor you wanted.” Dr. Kal’tsit smiled inexplicably. “Recognizing your own shortcomings is the first step to treating others with kindness.”

"I know you are a gentle person."

"Therefore, I don't want to, and won't let you move forward any further. Even I wouldn't want to take advantage of someone else's kindness."

"This is not what she expected."

With that, Dr. Kal'tsit closed the terminal screen: "Bozokasti, um, that is, the Patriot you mentioned, treat this as Rhodes Island admitting a special infected person. I will cover up the news and all traces."

"He probably won't be the last infected person you bring back. As for their identities and what you're going to do, as long as Rhodes Island isn't involved, I won't interfere."

"Bai Ye, I trust you. I know you will lead them in the right direction. I'm entrusting the things that Rhodes Island can't do directly to you."

Bai Ye opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Or rather, he hadn't expected Dr. Kal'tsit to give such an answer.

"...Alright, you should go and rest too. Don't forget the written report." Dr. Kal'tsit patted Bai Ye on the shoulder.

She thought highly of this young man.

On this land, there are not many young people who possess great strength and potential, but also have the mental capacity to match it.

Although this guy is just as troublesome and prone to causing trouble, which young person is easy to manage?

Bai Ye took a deep breath and walked towards the door. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly remembered the black snake.

“By the way, I might need Amiya’s help with something later. I’d like to borrow her abilities,” Bai Ye said to Doctor Kal’tsit.

“If what you’re doing is right, I have no reason to stop you—provided Amiya agrees. But please protect her.” Dr. Kal’tsit nodded.

"Thank you."

Bai Ye sincerely thanked him.

With his back to Dr. Kal'tsit, he slowly said, "Dr. Kal'tsit, you said this is not my destiny. However, this is not right."

"Our destinies have long been intertwined. We live on the same land, under the same starry sky. There are some things we will eventually have to face."

As if speaking to Dr. Kal'tsit, or perhaps to himself, Bai Ye said, "Although I don't know why I came here, I cannot remain indifferent after witnessing the suffering of this land. In the past, these things were none of my concern, but now, I have decided to do something."

“Dr. Kal'tsit, Miss Warfarin said that what you are hiding could shake the very fabric of this land, so I will not give up. I will show you my will and my determination.”

……

"Damn, they said so many embarrassing things!"

Back in his dorm room, Bai Ye buried his head in his pillow.

He rolled around on the bed, twisting and turning, but luckily the bed was spacious enough to withstand his antics.

"He's clearly not that kind of person, so why did he say something like that in a moment of impulse?"

Bai Ye sighed.

Perhaps it was influenced by that fool Talulah.

Yes, in Bai Ye's eyes, Talulah is a fool.

Rhodes Island is stupid too.

But Baiye didn't dislike this feeling.

In his past life, he had killed enough enemies.

He has conquered the most difficult boss battles.

He has challenged the most powerful players.

He reached the pinnacle.

This time, starting over, he wanted to find something more challenging.

If only I could change this land...

It would be very interesting to see the world that Talulah described and to see what Rhodes Island was looking forward to.

It will definitely be very fulfilling.

Bai Ye recalled that Miss Melantha had also asked him why he fought with his sword.

Players don't need a reason to swing their swords.

For him, challenges were a given.

"I'm definitely not a kind person."

In the empty room, Bai Ye refuted Dr. Kal'tsit's point of view.

I don't know who I'm talking to.

-------------------------------------

Bai Ye didn't find Miss Orca on Rhodes Island this time, probably because she's out on a mission.

Bai Ye felt a little apologetic; he had his own things to do and couldn't help Skadi for the time being.

Franka and Razer were also not on Rhodes Island; they were reportedly back at Blacksteel International for a routine reporting mission.

Miss Typing Girl also has things to take care of.

Aside from all that, Bai Ye suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know anyone else on Rhodes Island...

After much thought, Bai Ye still didn't know what to do. Under the typist's complaints that "it would be better to help me with the work," he and his assistant finished processing the official documents, and then he returned to his idle state once again.

This was the first time he had been so free.

After transmigrating, I was either running around aimlessly or busy with something I didn't know what. Suddenly stopping felt a bit strange.

I had just made up my mind, but doing this makes me feel like I'm burning out completely.

"Can't find anything to do?!" The typist looked completely bewildered.

She rolled her eyes: "Let me make this clear, I'm not playing with you. I'm going to sleep; it's a rare holiday."

Speaking of which, this guy is quite unlucky, because of Bai Ye's negligence, he's been incredibly busy every day.

After hearing this, Bai Ye had no reason to stop her.

After much wandering, Bai Ye ended up in Patriot's hospital room.

No one was found.

After inquiring with Warfarin, he learned that Patriot was currently in the sanatorium.

Come to think of it, Bai Ye has never been there before.

The sanatorium is located in cabin number four on Rhodes Island, on the top deck of the main ship.

Here, the sun shines.

Real sunlight is not artificial light, and the background is not a simulated projection.

That sounds great.

Upon entering the courtyard, Bai Ye discovered that there was no one else there except Patriot.

Uncle sat quietly in the sunset, lost in thought. He didn't say anything when Bai Ye walked in.

Bai Ye didn't disturb him and found a place to sit down.

The sky was darkening.

Whose story are the trajectory and speed of the setting sun telling?

White Night looked up at the sky through the semi-transparent roof, but could not find an answer.

He simply felt that, outside of the war, the Wendigo before him was nothing more than an ordinary old man.

Chapter Eleven: Don't Panic

"This is a good place."

The patriot sat in the shade of a tree and couldn't help but sigh.
