Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

But now, he needs the players' help.

Bai Ye is temporarily leaving the Reunion Movement and heading to Saint-Germain Castle. Meanwhile, the Reunion Movement is getting closer to Chernobog, and Bai Ye plans to establish an intelligence network comprised of players in Chernobog and the surrounding urban cluster.

At the same time, White Night also needs some players to be familiar with and understand the structure of the mobile city so that, when necessary, players and the elites of the Reunion Movement can seize key parts of the mobile city.

So Baiye approached Zhaimao.

Actually, he initially wanted to find a veteran player named ZC, since he had previously served as the leader of the player camp and had a lot of influence among the players.

However, when Bai Ye found ZC, she discovered that he had already stepped down. ZC had no interest in managing and coordinating players, and he hadn't established a guild himself. Instead, ZC started creating various guides for new players.

He can analyze the weaknesses of various common infected creatures and enemies one by one, and he has carried forward his tradition of stand-up comedy. Therefore, just like in his previous life, he has become a very famous strategy and gameplay video creator.

In the end, Bai Ye could only go to Zhai Mao.

Actually, she wasn't a very suitable candidate because this person has a terrible sense of direction. During her live streams, she would often wander off and stumble into all sorts of strange and unusual places because she couldn't remember the way back.

Because of the various uncertainties and random effects of her live streams, many people watch her live streams, and some people even draw maps from her perspective to warn her when she gets lost.

Zhai Mao was very surprised that Bai Ye had approached her, but she still gladly accepted the task Bai Ye had given her.

Besides Zhai Mao, Bai Ye also found other well-known streamers and content creators. Under the guidance of these popular players, some players began to shift their main game location from the tundra to Chernobog.

There are simply too many people on the frozen ground, and there are already enough messenger players responsible for transporting goods and letters. Too many people gathered in this area isn't good either; it could easily attract the attention of the Ursus Army. White Night definitely needs to disperse some of them.

……

After arranging the players, Bai Ye found Alex.

His current code name is "Bonebreaker". Although he is a boy, he has a strange fetish and likes to run around wearing something similar to stockings.

You know what, if you only look at his legs, this guy is actually quite good-looking.

It's a pity it's a boy.

Perhaps because of their shared plight, he had the best relationship with Lyudmila, the "King Killer," within the Reunion Movement.

He also felt guilty towards Lyudmila, believing that his father had betrayed others, leading to Lyudmila's father's death in the Ursus Empire's army purge.

At the same time, he also began to become extreme, hating his father.

During the integration movement, the cadres that Bai Ye was most worried about were him and another teenager with extreme ideas and some psychological problems, "Mephisto".

This time, Bai Ye approached Alex.

The reason was simple: he planned to take this guy's biological father, Sergei, to the capital of the Ursus Empire, Saint-Germain.

It was a dangerous journey. Bai Ye wasn't sure if Sergei, who had bravely plunged into the heart of the political struggle, would survive. He could protect the middle-aged man along the way, but what happened afterward was beyond his control.

Or rather, it's not something that someone as insignificant as him on the continent of Terra can interfere with for the time being.

Bai Ye may be very good at fighting, but not everything can be solved with force. Bai Ye has not reached the point where he can ignore everything.

The most he could do was to secretly send him out of the Ursus Empire again.

Before that, he wanted the poor father to see his son one more time.

To be honest, Sergei was definitely a tragic figure. In his previous life, his fate was even more tragic. In the end, he was killed by his own son and the regicide.

At the same time, Bai Ye also contacted the baby orca Skadi.

This time they were heading to Saint-Germain Castle, and along the way they might encounter various dangers. Bai Ye couldn't ensure Sergei's safety alone; he needed help.

Skadi is undoubtedly the best choice.

And so, with a bewildered Alex in tow, Bai Ye piloted the aircraft to his headquarters at Namba Heavy Industries in Chernobog.

Although it's called the headquarters, it's really just an empty factory building.

Bai Ye temporarily used this place as his hangar and a base for some players.

Beneath the empty factory buildings lie hidden tunnels leading to various areas. By excavating through the bottom layer, Bai Ye can directly access the industrial base of Chernobog.

Inside the Namba Heavy Industries headquarters, Byakuya and Skadi successfully reunited.

The orca, unseen for many days, looked exactly the same, wearing a large hat and an overcoat over its standard deep-sea hunter combat uniform to avoid drawing attention. The girl leaned against her greatsword, exuding the aura of a cool, silent master.

This guy is indeed a master. He has made a name for himself among bounty hunters. Most people who have heard of him are terrified.

Skadi looked somewhat disappointed when she saw Bai Ye. She had come from somewhere else.

“Although I found some clues, I still came up empty-handed when I got there,” Skadi said, sighing.

She has very few friends on land, only Bai Ye, and she can only confide in him.

"It's alright. After things are settled here, I'll use my intelligence network to help you search."

Although Bai Ye didn't know what Skadi was looking for, he knew far more about this land than Skadi did.

"So, what do we need to do now?"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Skadi turned her crimson eyes toward Alex the Bonebreaker standing behind White Night.

Under that cold, indifferent gaze, the boy took two steps back.

"It's nothing, I'm just taking him to see an old friend."

Bai Ye parked the aircraft in the hangar of the factory area, and then led Skadi and Alex into the tunnel.

“This connects to the industrial base layer, and then we can reach any corner of Chernobog from underground.”

Chapter Fifty-Three: A Small Act of Concern

“It’s very dark here.” Skadi’s eyes still seemed to gleam with a crimson light in the darkness.

Deep-sea hunters undergo physical modifications, making them almost inhuman. In order to fight in the dark and deep sea, dark vision has long been a standard feature.

The girl didn't know that Bai Ye could see clearly in the dark, so she grabbed Bai Ye's hand.

The next moment, Bai Ye turned on his hand lamp.

The three traversed the winding industrial base tunnels and, led by Bai Ye, found the staircase leading to the upper level.

After circling around for a while, Bai Ye stopped in front of a wall. He knocked on the wall and then pushed it forcefully.

"Titi, let's push together."

"it is good."

Skadi slung the greatsword over her back, and together they pushed against the wall.

Under this immense force, the wall emitted a dull rumble before being moved aside. This was the entrance to a secret passage.

Bai Ye clicked his tongue in amazement.

Those bounty hunters were right, Skadi is a monster...

Bai Ye was initially quite confident, after all, he had already allocated points to his attributes and developed a skill like Nitrogen Armor. However, when he witnessed Skadi's pure power, he still felt inferior.

"here it is?"

Alex was initially puzzled, but when he stepped out of the secret passage, he froze in place.

This is a place he is familiar with.

His own home.

To be precise, it was his study.

"Am I...home?"

Alex stared wide-eyed at the familiar surroundings, never imagining he would be able to return here again.

"What's going on... Oh my god, you just pushed open a door that needs an electric motor by hand?"

Sergei rushed over because of the commotion in the study, and then he too was stunned.

Standing before him was the child he hadn't seen since they parted years ago.

Although his son had grown into a teenager and changed in both physique and appearance, Sergei recognized him at a glance.

“Alex…” Sergei’s voice trembled slightly.

“You asked me to tell him about your situation last time… but I think it might be better if you tell him yourself.”

Bai Ye smiled and nodded at Sergei.

He then turned to Alex and pulled the thin boy aside: "I know you don't like your father, and you even resent him. I've seen too many of these 'filial piety' scenes. But cherish this meeting, because the next time we meet might be a long time from now... or perhaps, we'll never see each other again."

Bai Ye then patted Sui Gu on the shoulder.

He then pushed the reluctant Alex toward Sergei.

"He's in your hands now. We'll be on our way after we finish talking."

"By the way, you'd better correct your son's sense of style. What kind of boy wears stockings everywhere every day..."

With that, Bai Ye pulled Titi out of the study.

"You're not in a very good mood?" Skadi asked softly.

“I’m a little jealous of him, being able to see his father again. It’s a pity he doesn’t seem to appreciate it.” Bai Ye pursed his lips.

He lost both his parents before he was old enough to remember things.

Skadi let Bai Ye rest her head on her shoulder, and the two sat down on the sofa in the mansion's hall.

"I'm fine, I'm used to it..." Bai Ye leaned against Skadi, feeling the girl's supple skin.

He was curious as to why such a soft touch would originate from a man-made killing weapon.

The girl's mystery and power fascinated him.

"To be honest, my parents are just a symbol to me. I have no memory of them, and I only know what they look like through photos."

Bai Ye looked at the closed door of the study. Perhaps because he had never experienced it before, he couldn't help but get angry when he saw Alex's loving father-son relationship.

In his view, this was an incomprehensible behavior.

“In that case, perhaps I’m luckier than you,” Skadi said softly.

Although she had always believed herself to be the last Deepsea Hunter, intelligence now suggests that other Deepsea Hunters may have come to land.

She still has a chance to find her companions, while Bai Ye...

"By the way, I didn't see you when I returned to Rhodes Island last time. Where did you go?" Bai Ye changed the subject.

Continuing like this feels a bit strange.

As expected, Silly Titi's attention was diverted. She thought for a moment and said, "Go to... Colombia, in your land-dwelling terms."

Bai Ye was speechless. Going to Colombia to find the Deep Sea Hunter? Was he kidding? How did this guy end up there?

"Let's go to Iberia next time." Bai Ye sat up from Skadi and rubbed his forehead.

"The beach?" Skadi looked somewhat dejected. She was actually reluctant to return to the beach because she could sense that if she went back, monsters would emerge from the seabed and attack her.

In that case, she will continue to drag those around her into danger.

"Perhaps I should have some clues."

Bai Ye was actually reluctant to go to Iberia right now. According to the game, that area was a mid-to-late game map and very dangerous.

However, he was still willing to help Skadi, since he often used her as a henchman, and Bai Ye's shallow conscience would not be able to live with it if he did not repay her.

"When you're done with your work." Skadi nodded.

She trusts Bai Ye a lot.

……

The two chatted for a while longer, usually with Bai Ye talking and Skadi listening. After some time, the study door finally opened.

The father and son walked out of the room with red eyes.

Judging from Alex's expression, the two have probably reconciled.

"Mr. Baiye, please, please bring my father back," Alex pleaded with Baiye.

"I'll try my best." Bai Ye nodded.

Personally, he didn't want this brave and respectable man, who had already emerged from the shadows of the past, to be sacrificed in his plans.

As they were talking, Bai Ye quietly handed a small bear doll to Alex.

This was entrusted to him by Miss Misha to be given to Sergei, but Bai Ye thought it might be better for Alex to hand it over himself.
