Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Despite being distracted, Bai Ye still managed to drive the vehicle into Rhodes Island's garage.

The doctor breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had heard rumors from prospective operators about Bai Ye piloting aircraft, such as throwing trainees off the plane or chasing them on a snowmobile. In short, he was a rather inhuman guy.

The doctor was even worried that Bai Ye would abandon her halfway through the drive and make her walk back by herself.

Fortunately, Bai Ye did not do anything strange this time.

However, the Doctor's bad feeling soon came true again; she had relaxed too soon. She overheard Bai Ye talking with Dr. Kal'tsit and Amiya.

Amiya brought up the topic of conversation first. She hoped that Bai Ye could help them train the Doctor, so that he wouldn't be as weak as he was now.

Then the Doctor heard Bai Ye's answer: "Leave it to me. I can give her special training in a jeep and just go straight for it without even blinking. No one can slack off when their life is threatened."

Upon hearing this, the doctor's heart sank.

Fortunately, Amiya didn't choose that terrible method later, otherwise the Doctor felt he would really be doomed.

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

"Honestly, it's a pretty good method..."

Bai Ye was genuinely concerned for the doctor's health, and the method of creating a human through a Jeep wasn't his own invention. In fact, this method proved highly effective, used by three generations of the family, making it a valuable tradition. Every student who experienced it firsthand shed tears of gratitude.

While complaining, Bai Ye walked towards her dormitory room.

Unlike his residence in the core city of Chernobog, Bai Ye's dormitory in Rhodes Island had cleaning assistants such as automatic sweepers, so the room was not as messy and uninhabitable as his residence in the core city of Chernobog.

In fact, as a manager at Rhodes Island, Bai Ye could have requested a logistics operator to regularly clean his room. However, Bai Ye didn't like strangers entering his room casually, so he didn't choose to use this managerial privilege.

"Bai Ye." Bai Ye opened his dormitory door, and the door opposite him also opened.

Himer came out from inside with the little fire dragon.

"Where are you two going?" Bai Ye asked the couple in front of him with some curiosity.

Speaking of which, although Ifrit, the little dragon, is much taller than Himeru, the two of them still have a very "mother-daughter" vibe when they stand together.

Of course, Himeru is the mother, and Charmander is the daughter.

Although Charmander's physical condition is no longer that of a child, she is an experimental subject of Rhine Lab, and her mental age is much more immature than her appearance, so she can be considered a child in every sense of the word.

Or rather, a naughty child.

……

Seeing Bai Ye's question, Himer gently pinched Ifrit's cheek to make her open her mouth: "This child has eaten too much candy and has cavities. She needs to go to Rhodes Island's medical department to have them pulled."

Ifrit looked at Bai Ye and then stuck out her tongue. She wasn't afraid of Bai Ye at all, and this little rascal had a very good relationship with him. If Bai Ye was around, she would always run over to play with him.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye often operates on an "offline monarch system," and as the head of the field operations department, he rarely finds anyone else in the director's office at Rhodes Island headquarters. Therefore, he doesn't actually have many opportunities to play with Little Fire Dragon.

Himer naturally witnessed the interaction between Ifrit and White Night.

She stroked the little dragon's golden hair, then sighed: "Speaking of which, I can pull teeth myself. At first, I didn't think it was that difficult, but when I actually tried it, I found that the hardest part was that I couldn't bring myself to do it."

Then, she looked at Bai Ye with some helplessness: "Mr. Bai Ye, please don't give this child candy anymore. She's too greedy and can't control her mouth."

"Sorry..." Bai Ye nodded, ignoring the little fire dragon beside him whose face instantly changed and became sullen.

In fact, all the candy that Charmander ate was given to him by him, so it's no wonder that Himeru said that to him.

After saying goodbye to Himer and Ifrit, Bai Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Every time he interacted with this "mother and daughter," he always had a particularly strange feeling, as if he had suddenly grown old and become a corporate slave on Rhodes Island... He even had the illusion that his midlife crisis was about to arrive.

It's simply outrageous.

You should know that Bai Ye was only 20 years old when she transmigrated. Even if she spent a New Year in Terra, she is only 21 now, still very young.

Unfortunately, his neighbors across the hall gave him a taste of life that usually only happens to people aged 31 or even 41...

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

Although daily life was mundane, it gave Bai Ye a real sense of living on the continent of Terra. He felt truly alive.

As a player, his gaming career is actually made up of one task after another, and the rest of the time is spent in the PVP arena, or doing things like running around the map, purchasing, upgrading equipment, and grinding monsters to level up.

If I continued living like this after becoming a native of Terra, it would be too boring. What would be the difference between this and when I was playing the game?

While pondering these matters, Bai Ye walked towards the training ground.

According to Skadi's usual habits, she should be in the training field at this moment.

It had been quite a while since he had seen Skadi, and Bai Ye missed her very much after their separation—of course, there was also a bittersweet feeling about it.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Bai Ye's expectations...

……

Bai Ye walked into the training ground, which was now occupied by two deep-sea hunters.

One is Skadi, and the other is naturally Specter.

The former deep-sea hunter shark was tormented to the point of mental breakdown by the deep-sea church, but now, holding a chainsaw, she was unusually quiet, a stark contrast to her posture as she chopped up the target. Her expression was calm, and she kept muttering something to herself.

The soft murmur seemed to be in an Agorian language, which Bai Ye only vaguely understood.

Skadi stayed by his side, sometimes talking, not caring whether Specter could understand, just talking and asking her questions. Of course, she wouldn't get any answers to these questions.

She never had any expectations.

Until Bai Ye walked in from the training ground.

"Didi!"

White Night waved to Skadi, and then, as usual, greeted Specter.

In fact, he didn't expect the poor nun to respond to him.

However, this time, an unexpected event occurred.

When Bai Ye called out the code name of Ghost Shark, the nun suddenly opened her blood-red eyes and stared intently at Bai Ye.

The girl's eyes were lifeless and unfocused. She seemed alright on ordinary days, but when those eyes began to stare, they gave off an eerie feeling.

Yes, it's quite bizarre.

"Specter, shark? What's wrong?" Skadi forgot her joy at seeing Byakuya again and looked at Specter nervously, wondering what had happened.

The nun looked at Bai Ye blankly, first at his face, then at his chest, and finally at his right arm.

"what……"

The ghost shark slightly opened its mouth and uttered syllables that were difficult to understand, as if it wanted to say something but had forgotten how to speak.

She kept her mouth open, repeating strange syllables as if she were broken, but her gaze remained fixed on Bai Ye's right arm.

Skadi frowned, looking at Bai Ye's right hand as well, but didn't notice anything unusual.

Ghost Shark's sudden strange behavior left her somewhat bewildered.

Bai Ye pursed his lips; only he knew what was in his right hand. He slowly raised his right hand and gently waved it in front of Ghost Shark.

Just as he expected, Ghost Shark's head swayed gently with Bai Ye's right hand movements, left, right... No matter what, her gaze remained fixed on Bai Ye's right arm, never wavering. Although she looked quite obedient, and even had a unique charm enhanced by her nun's habit, her blank stare and incessant muttering mouth were rather eerie.

It inevitably brings to mind things like the Cthulhu Mythos.

Seeing the strange yet somewhat amusing scene before her, Skadi relaxed slightly. She didn't take it seriously and even smiled a little.

!

However, the next moment, just as Skadi's lips curled into a slight smile, something unexpected happened.

The previously calm Ghost Shark suddenly erupted. When she was very close to Bai Ye, she instantly started her chainsaw and swung it at the unsuspecting Bai Ye.

It all happened so suddenly that Skadi didn't even have time to react. Her smile froze on her face, and her pupils involuntarily contracted.

And what about Bai Ye?

Although he was also caught off guard, the moment he realized something was wrong, his brain quickly formed a new "mental circuit".

Personal talent, [Accelerated Thinking], activated!

In that instant, a silver glint flashed in Bai Ye's eyes, and the world in his vision went from dynamic to still.

No, to be precise, the world is still in motion, but its speed appears incredibly slow, almost static, to the White Night.

It's not that time has slowed down, but rather that Bai Ye's brain processes information far too quickly. Currently, Bai Ye's brain activity far exceeds that of ordinary people. If it weren't for his special "mental circuits," it's possible that his brain would overload and burn out.

In this state, Bai Ye could clearly see the chainsaw the nun was wielding slowly cutting toward him, its gears turning and sparks flying outwards.

Bai Ye even clearly saw the brand of the chainsaw, which had a string of letters on it: RimBilliton – manufactured by RimBilliton.

Bai Ye caused the air in front of him to explode, and at the same time his body was rapidly backward, dodging the sudden and fatal attack launched by Miss Ghost Shark.

"Zizzizizi——"

The chainsaw, sparking with fire, spun rapidly, passing by Bai Ye's nose. Bai Ye stepped back and stood still, his eyes fixed on the ghost shark.

"White Night!" Skadi finally called out.

Her dynamic vision was also very strong, so she naturally realized that Bai Ye hadn't been cut by the chainsaw, but had dodged it. The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she turned to look at Ghost Shark, completely bewildered as to why her former comrade-in-arms had suddenly gone berserk.

"Ahhhhh—you have awakened me. ...Listen, the vast Lord of all things, in the darkness, murmurs to himself..."

Miss Ghost Shark, unlike her usual quiet self, became frantic. She gripped a long-handled chainsaw in one hand and covered her face with the other, staring at Bai Ye through the gaps between her fingers.

"Hehehe...haha...hahahaha..."

Ghost Shark let out a maniacal laugh, her expression completely broken, her eyes glowing red, and then she charged at White Night once again.

"Shark! White Night!" Skadi grabbed the greatsword beside her, preparing to rush over and stop Specter. However, White Night dodged the nun's frenzied attacks while shouting, "Skadi, don't come over! I can handle this by myself. If you come over, things will only get more chaotic!"

After saying that, Bai Ye dodged Ghost Shark's chainsaw with another sidestep, and then their fists collided together.

Nitrogen armor instantly covered Bai Ye's entire body, but he felt no sense of security whatsoever.

Because, unlike other weapons, the chainsaw's blade is constantly cutting. In other words, if Bai Ye relies on his thick nitrogen armor and foolishly tries to take the attack head-on, the gas armor is likely to be cut through by the high-speed rotating chainsaw blade.

After all, one of the two drawbacks of this type of armor is that it cannot effectively protect against high-speed, continuous attacks targeting the same spot.

"We need to find a way to destroy this vicious weapon, or close the distance."

Bai Ye could certainly cast a spell, but he certainly couldn't directly blow up Ghost Shark's lungs, as that would kill her. Moreover, the brief pause during the spellcasting would be enough for Ghost Shark to rush over and launch a surprise attack.

Suffocation tactics are useless; the Specter has extremely strong physical abilities and can even continue high-intensity combat in an oxygen-free environment.

It's important to know that Specter is also a Deepsea Hunter, and her body has also undergone the Sea-Born Fusion Surgery. Even though her physical strength has been weakened by Oripathy and is not as good as before, it is still not much different from Skadi's.

Bai Ye's pure physical attributes are still somewhat behind Skadi's, and also somewhat behind Specter. In a simple contest of physical strength, he should not be a match for Specter.

However, Bai Ye possesses magical abilities.

Taking advantage of dodging the attacks of the crazed chainsaw, he clasped his hands together, and the air in front of him exploded once again.

This time, the explosion occurred right beneath Ghost Shark's feet.

Caught off guard, the ghost shark was blown away. Even with her deep-sea hunter's physical prowess, she was bound to lose her balance at the moment of the explosion.

At that moment, the gas beneath Bai Ye's feet exploded a second time, propelling Bai Ye straight into Ghost Shark's arms.

Close-quarters hand-to-hand combat is one of Bai Ye's strengths.

Especially when enveloped in nitrogen armor, Bai Ye can further accelerate his movements and attack power due to the localized explosion of gas. Combined with his agile movements and accelerated thinking, he is more than capable of dealing with most humanoid enemies.

Once Bai Ye closed in on him, Ghost Shark's chainsaw became ineffective. Bai Ye tightly sealed off the space, preventing Ghost Shark from using the chainsaw, while simultaneously trying to control the crazed nun.

Ghost Shark launched a frenzied attack, but to no avail. The aftershocks of their fight turned the training room into a complete mess, while the fists and feet striking the floor and walls produced terrifying sounds. At the same time, the chainsaw cut into the bulkhead, producing a screeching sound and sparks.

The battle between two inhuman beings nearly destroyed the entire training room.

Skadi stood aside, seemingly avoiding the aftermath of the battle. She listened to what Bai Ye said but did not step forward.

Skadi, why are you just watching...?

In fact, in the current situation, her forced intervention would only make things more chaotic.

"Kakaka-"

The first thing to give way wasn't their physical bodies, but the chainsaw in Ghost Shark's hand. The chainsaw, made by Rembiton, could no longer withstand their inhuman battle. In the intense confrontation, the chainsaw met its end just like White Night's one-handed sword "Arc Light"—it shattered instantly.

The saw teeth broke, the bearing shattered, and the disc split in two.

Ghost Shark discarded the broken weapon, then reached out and grabbed White Night's wrist.
