Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

……

Bai Ye fell silent.

Skadi, on the other hand, was completely baffled.

She suddenly realized that she and Hai Si were of the same race, and that she had killed him with her own hands...

"Why did you say it?!" Ghost Shark looked at Bai Ye, unable to understand what Bai Ye wanted to do.

"You're the idiot," Bai Ye said irritably. "You don't understand anything, yet you attacked me. If I don't give you an explanation, do you think Skadi, that blockhead, will be convinced?"

"I need to clear up this misunderstanding, otherwise you hunters will all come and fight me one by one..."

As he spoke, Bai Ye walked over to Sister Laurentina and unlocked her handcuffs.

The nun wisely chose not to take action.

Bai Ye then grabbed her wrist and arm, shook them a few times, and then suddenly exerted force.

With a crisp sound, the previously broken and dislocated bone was put back in place.

"Tsk... Thanks." Laurentina shook her arm. Her powerful regenerative abilities were starting to kick in; the wound was healing, and the torn muscles were beginning to regrow.

"Could you help me loosen my legs as well?" the nun continued to ask.

Bai Ye shook his head: "That's it. You caused such a big mess just now, so I have to teach you a lesson."

"So, what do you want to do?" The nun squinted at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye smiled gently, took out his violin, and began to play the sound of sawing wood.

"?!" Laurentina's eyes widened.

Bai Ye continued to "play" the strange music.

He had never studied violin, but that did not stop him from trying his best to play music.

"You demon...you devil, stop right now!"

Chapter 123 Bonus Chapter 13/30

(This chapter contains 6000 words, debt repayment progress 13/30, thank you all for the rewards! Thank you so much! [gritting teeth])

(By the way, I owed a total of 35 bills before, paid back 5 before the gag, and paid back 13 today. Now I still owe 17 bills, which I will pay off next month.)

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

Bai Ye remembered that Skadi had once told him that the ghost shark of the past, also known as Shark Laurentina, belonged to the second deep-sea hunter team and was a person who loved art and sculpture.

So, Bai Ye found a good way to torture this guy.

Bai Ye doesn't play the violin, so he was able to make an absurd sound like sawing a table leg in Laurentina's ear. The key point is... he was still trying his best to play a decent melody.

Yes, that means Laurentina can still barely make out what kind of music it is. This makes it even more agonizing.

"Three hunters came ashore?"

Bai Ye hummed softly, but his voice contrasted sharply with the music playing in his hands.

"Gulp—you might as well kill me!" the nun began to beg for mercy.

Bai Ye then put away his violin and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is absolutely terrible!" Even Bai Ye himself couldn't help but exclaim. This thing would be torture for anyone.

"Skadi, how much else did she tell you?" Laurentina asked, looking at Bai Ye.

“Not a lot, but not many either. She tried to hide some things, but I hid even more…” Bai Ye said as he untied Laurentina.

"Tsk tsk, such terrible skills..." Laurentina shook her black stockings and relaxed her feet.

“Rope art is also an art form. If you want to learn, I can teach you,” Bai Ye said with a smile.

"If you're so capable, you can say that to Skadi's face... oh, you'd have to be sober." Laurentina, now free, didn't choose to continue attacking.

She is fully awake now, and it seems best to figure out the situation first.

"You already know the secret that you are half-Hassi?" Bai Ye asked in a low voice.

This secret seems to be unknown to most Deepsea Hunters, as evidenced by Skadi's shocked expression earlier. However, Miss Specter seems to already know the secret, and she's even preparing to stop White Night from continuing.

“Yes, I already know.” Laurentina nodded. “Back when I was imprisoned in the Deep Sea Church, those scum experimented on me. They didn’t understand the secrets of my body, but… I did.”

"Unfortunately, I was already half-conscious when you found me, so I couldn't talk to you."

Bai Ye nodded.

“This feels so good…so clear-headed.” Laurentina was a little talkative.

Because she had been holding it in for so long, and she hadn't been able to speak before, she had so much to say.

Bai Ye and Laurentina reached a delicate balance and tacit understanding. The two, who had been fighting each other with swords drawn, now sat down and chatted.

Skadi then slowly began to wake up.

Laurentina looked nervously at her old comrade-in-arms, fearing she might turn into a monster.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine," Bai Ye said calmly.

Although he only mastered 50% of the nascent power in his right hand, and because he was human, he couldn't unleash much of that 50% power; it was only a half-baked ability, one-third and one-third at a time.

Even worse than Zeta.

However, even so, Bai Ye was still able to suppress the part of Skadi's body that belonged to Hai Si, keeping it quiet so that it wouldn't flare up or affect Skadi's mind.

After a moment, Skadi finally calmed down and opened her eyes, looking no different than usual.

"What...what just happened?" the girl asked, somewhat bewildered.

"To be precise, what I said was beyond your comprehension, so you went crazy and lost your mind," Bai Ye explained with a smile.

“However, it did clarify quite a few things... So, this is what we Deepsea Hunters are like…” Skadi shook her head.

“Then let me continue.” Bai Ye sat down next to Skadi and showed her his right arm: “Back then, your four squads went to hunt down a giant sea monster.”

"That thing is called the Newborn. It's roughly similar to a giant beast on land, possessing a huge body and powerful abilities. There are four in the deep sea as strong as it."

"He was one of them. You fought fiercely, and finally you managed to swing the last sword."

"You think you have killed Him, but you haven't. He has entered your body and is feeding you. If all goes well, He will replace or merge with your spirit, and you will become Him."

"He is called Ishar-mla by the Sealings, the Corrupted Heart Ishar-mla, representing the power of migration—'to expand territory and plunder resources'."

Skadi and Laurentina listened attentively to what Bai Ye had to say.

Bai Ye continued, "You should remember the first anomaly. That day, you smelled the seawater in my room."

"Ah, I remember that, but I couldn't find anything wrong with it no matter how I looked for it." Skadi suddenly recalled the incident.

"That's because...we slept together, and my body and spirit attracted Him. So He pulled me into His dream. That was our first contact."

Skadi nodded; that made sense.

However, Laurentina's eyes widened: "Wait, what do you mean you slept together! Wait, what happened! Did you two do *?"

“That wasn’t the case back then!” Skadi immediately denied.

Upon hearing her words, Bai Ye knew something was wrong, and he immediately covered his forehead.

This guy is so silly!

Sure enough, Laurentina seized on the loophole in Skadi's words: "What do you mean by 'not yet at that time'!"

“I’m just stating the facts,” Skadi replied calmly.

Bai Ye clapped his hands and said, "Stop arguing and let me finish."

He then continued, "Then, after we did *that* last time, I dreamed of Him again."

"Ah, so you guys have already done it, Skadi, you're really amazing!" Laurentina said, as if she were seeing Skadi in a new light.

Skadi sat there calmly, seemingly unmoved.

Laurentina couldn't help but marvel.

It turns out that a lack of common sense to a certain extent can make one so naive, and utterly flawless.

Is this what they call feigning foolishness with great wisdom?!

Bai Ye had been interrupted several times. He glared at the nun and then finished his story: "Afterwards, the newborn Isamara made a deal with me. She would live in my body so that Skadi wouldn't become a monster."

"You—!" Skadi exclaimed, grabbing Bai Ye's arm and examining it closely. "So, you agreed?!"

“Yes, I agreed, and Isamara is now inside my body.” Bai Ye nodded.

Then he looked at Laurentina: "After being severely injured, the shark was captured by the Deep Sea Church. They tortured you and injected highly concentrated liquid Originium into your neck. After that, you suffered a split personality; the surface personality went crazy, while the current you has dived into the depths."

"Today, you smelled the scent of your hometown on my arm, which is why you woke up."

Laurentina nodded; this explanation was perfectly reasonable.

However, Skadi was puzzled: "This is not right. Why didn't I sense this aura before? If you have that... Isamara in your arm, why didn't my body react before?"

"Because He was sealed away when He entered my body," Bai Ye explained, then shook his arm.

Silver chains slowly emerged from his arms, clanging together with a crisp sound.

“I found a goddess in the snowy realm before. She stimulated my arm and helped me activate part of Isamara’s power. Because I just mastered it, I can’t hide my aura skillfully yet, so you should be able to sense her presence now.”

Laurentina nodded in realization.

Even now, the nun no longer harbors any hostility towards Bai Ye.

However, Skadi couldn't stop. She would carefully examine Bai Ye's arm one moment, and then lean close to Bai Ye, seemingly studying something.

After a long pause, she looked at Bai Ye with some worry: "Will you turn into a monster? I don't want to fight you and then kill you with my own hands..."

"Don't worry, that won't happen," Bai Ye reassured her.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it when the time comes," Laurentina suddenly said from the side.

"Hey!" Skadi snapped.

"Heh, getting impatient?" The shark rolled its eyes. "You didn't react at all when I did this and that to you earlier, but you're already this angry before I've even laid a hand on your lover? You're really possessive of your food."

It turns out that this guy was still resentful that Skadi had chosen to stand by and not come to help.

It makes sense, considering they were comrades-in-arms before, fighting side by side through life and death, but now Skadi has chosen to believe Byakuya instead of herself.

Laurentina: I was here first!

"I'm sorry," Skadi said, bowing her head in apology.

Laurentina sighed, "Sigh, that's all the apology we got? So pointless..."

She finally understood; this guy, like the third captain Ulbian, was a simpleton.

This kind of teasing is not interesting at all.

Skadi, however, was somewhat worried: "We can all feel this deep-sea aura. What if the other sea creatures discover it and come looking for us?"

Bai Ye was deeply moved upon hearing this. It was true, Skadi was still worried about his problems. She really... I'm so sad.

"It's alright, it'll be fine in a while. I was just a bit overwhelmed before, and I couldn't control my powers very well. But now, I'm slowly getting used to it. In a few days, I'll be able to completely seal off my aura."

"That's good." Skadi breathed a sigh of relief.

Her gaze towards Bai Ye was incredibly tender at that moment, because Bai Ye had actually sealed a newborn within his own body in order to help her.

Moreover, this guy never said anything and kept it from her all along.

If Laurentina's original personality hadn't suddenly awakened, Skadi would have remained completely unaware.

“You must tell me if something like this happens again… Originally, I brought all the sea creatures ashore from the sea…” Skadi held Bai Ye’s hand, looked at him, and said seriously.

"Pfft—" Laurentina couldn't help but laugh. "She's such a rigid person. She's probably still blaming herself for the tragedy of that disaster, just because she directly confronted Isamara?"

"I didn't," Skadi weakly protested, but obviously no one would believe her.

Then, Laurentina looked at Bai Ye and said with a smile, "Bai Ye, do you know that I can't open my eyes or move my body normally, but I can hear Skadi talking in my ear."

Do you want to know what she and I talked about?

Bai Ye nodded; he was still quite curious.
