Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Do you believe what you're saying? Listen to me, don't rush, just don't rush."

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

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

……

"This is never going to end..."

Bai Ye sneezed as he and the two deep-sea hunters returned to the beach they had been on before.

There's still no one here.

To be precise, there was no one there.

However, there were beings that were not human standing on the sea.

"Be careful." Skadi instinctively stepped forward, drew her sword, and shielded Bai Ye behind her.

To White Night's surprise, Miss Specter did the same thing.

Bai Ye always felt that the roles of the two of them seemed a bit subtle.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight."

The man walked from the water to the beach, raising his hands.

"I remember... you were in that, what band?"

Bai Ye scratched his head. Yes, the "person" standing in front of them didn't really look like an enemy. Moreover, Bai Ye seemed to have seen this guy on a poster before.

It seems they are quite a popular band in this region.

"It seems we're not famous enough for everyone to know us yet... We still need to work harder," the girl said with a smile, then walked onto the beach.

Skadi looked wary, while Specter seemed lost in thought.

"Where are the others?"

Bai Ye didn't turn his head, but he knew that besides the girl in front of him, there were other "people" present.

As Bai Ye finished speaking, the others also came out.

There are four in total.

Four girls with different appearances.

Chapter 150 The Vanishing Sunset

(Blizzard should just die already. Do they really think this is still 15 years ago?)

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

"When will this ever end..."

Bai Ye recognized the people in front of her—they were all members of the Sunset Fades band.

ALIVE UNTILS UNSET (AUS for short) is a fairly famous heavy metal band. In fact, they were relatively unknown and largely ignored in their early days.

However, Sunset Glow was later signed by Siren Records and released their debut album, Dark Sea. This album contained no profanity, a departure from the prevailing trend of other heavy metal bands' work being rejected by the public. It was well-received upon release and established the band's position in the heavy metal genre.

Yes, it's the Siren Records by The Penguin.

The lead singer is Aya, who was talking to Baiye earlier, and standing next to her is Alty, the bassist with a very strong presence.

Yes, unlike most bassists who are barely noticeable, Alty is quite outstanding and has a strong presence.

The remaining two are drummer Dan and keyboardist Frost.

It's strange that a band like this would appear here.

However, Bai Ye was not surprised, because—

As mentioned before, these four band members are not human.

Of course it wouldn't be a person.

When they appeared, both Skadi and Specter reacted strongly. Alarm bells rang in the hearts of the two deep-sea hunters, and they both sensed that something was wrong.

Bai Ye stood behind the girl, remaining silent.

His arm trembled slightly, the tremor originating from his right arm. It wasn't from fear or excitement. This tremor wasn't a product of Bai Ye's emotions; it was more like a biological instinct.

It was as if the newborn Isamara, imprisoned in the arms of the White Night, sensed something.

Of course, Isamara should still be asleep at this moment, so Bai Ye probably acted on instinct.

The silver chains seemed to appear as well, triggered by the stimulation, and wrapped around Bai Ye's arm, colliding with each other and making a crisp sound.

Like a string of wind chimes.

"You are..." Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, having already guessed the true identities of the people in front of him.

While remaining vigilant, Bai Ye had already opened his inventory, and weapons could appear in his hand at any time.

"This is the sea you were talking about, Dan?" Aya seemed a little disappointed. She looked around and said, "Although there is water and a beach, this is not the sea."

“No, Aya, this is definitely the sea. I can already smell the waves in front of me.” Dan turned to look at Bai Ye and the other two standing in front of them.

“Dan is right. There are probably waterways connecting the land to the sea beneath the water system. There was a massacre here before,” Alty said softly, looking at the crystallized and enormous sea monster corpses around her.

"I see. You are right. There is indeed a vast ocean before us."

“The sound of an instrument being played” Frost remained silent, yet he expressed himself through his instrument.

Aya turned her attention to Skadi and Specter.

“The Agorians have a strange smell. Frost can smell you. That’s not the smell of an Agorian.”

“You are special, completely different from the Agor people who live on land, and also different from your counterparts in the sea.”

Aya said softly.

“You…” Skadi gripped her weapon tightly. She felt uneasy; for some reason, she disliked the people in front of her.

She disliked this feeling of being judged.

“Why is the band here? There’s no audience here right now. Just so you know, I don’t like heavy metal.” Bai Ye put his hand on Skadi’s shoulder to help her relax, then walked over.

Bai Ye's voice drew the attention of the Sunset Band members, and Aya's gaze fell on Bai Ye: "That's a real shame. But, someone who hangs out with the Agorians? That's rare... Hmm?"

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something was wrong and frowned: "You... what exactly are you?"

"*The sound of musical instruments playing*"

"Frost, you mean, he smells similar to us?"

“How strange, are you our…kind? No, how could that be?” Dan’s expression also turned to surprise.

"That's interesting, let me see."

Alty's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, she appeared behind Bai Ye.

However, just as she was about to approach Bai Ye, she stopped.

"I think that when you first meet a man, a lady should learn to keep her distance from him."

Bai Ye slowly turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the bassist standing behind him.

Alty had to stop, because in front of her, a strange one-handed sword hovered, its sharp tip aimed directly at her throat.

The longsword is considered strange because its surface is covered with rather peculiar patterns.

The next moment, Bai Ye sheathed his weapon.

The longsword shattered into several pieces, which floated around Bai Ye. The previous markings were merely cracks in the sword. Bai Ye used his innate magic to temporarily reassemble the weapon, "Arc Light."

“I’m sorry, I meant no harm, I’m just… a little curious about you. I’ve never seen such a strange being before.” Alty stepped back to her original spot.

However, her gaze remained fixed on Bai Ye.

"What exactly are they?" Ghost Shark asked in a low voice.

"It's the same kind as the one Skadi killed."

Bai Ye's right arm began to heat up as Alty approached, which made Bai Ye even more certain of the identities of the people in front of him.

“Newborn?!” Ghost Shark’s eyes began to change.

"Yes and no." Bai Ye shook his head. "Although they are indeed of the same kind as those giant beasts in the deep sea, they seem to be quite special."

“That’s true, they don’t have that awful smell, but I still don’t like them.” Laurentina put away her weapon.

Skadi was a little confused; she didn't quite understand what the two were talking about.

“Skadi, they are not the enemy. Besides, even if we kill them here, it won’t make a difference.” Bai Ye shook his head.

“Hmm.” Skadi nodded.

“Indeed, they’re not as huge as the one we’ve seen before,” Ghost Shark chuckled.

Yes, the four figures before us are all sea gods.

This is what is known as the initial stage.

However, they are not quite the same as Isamara.

Moreover, their true forms remain dormant in the sea; those that walk on land are merely their avatars.

Chapter 151 Grilled Squid

“We are indeed different from our kind,” Alty explained slowly.

“We were born much later than them. Frost is the youngest, Dan and I are about the same age, and Aya is probably a bit older. We were born too late, so there are many things we don’t know.”

"When Frost awoke in the deep rock formations, her first thought was to get away from those aliens and monsters. So together we left those deformed monsters in the deep sea and came to land."

"There are no kindred spirits in the sea to communicate with, and most of those on land have disappeared and returned to the earth. Fortunately, music can tear a crack in loneliness."

Alty slowly recounts their origins.

“Interesting. So there’s more than one being born, or rather, you’re not just born, but more like giant beasts?” Bai Ye said with great interest.

Specter and Skadi, on the other hand, found it somewhat unbelievable.

Undoubtedly, the newborn is their greatest enemy; however, they never expected that among their enemies there would be such an anomaly.

……

"So, what are you? Frost smelled the sea, so we came to investigate. Were these sea monsters attracted by you?" Dan asked curiously.

She was referring to the "corpses" on the ground—the crystallized terror fish and the remaining limbs of a sea monster. The former had turned into numb crystals, while the latter still possessed the characteristics of a living corpse.

White Night, Skadi, and Specter came to deal with these things.

"Perhaps they were also attracted here by you," Bai Ye casually remarked.

In fact, Bai Ye himself couldn't explain why these deep-sea monsters would appear here.

Skadi isn't bleeding here... Hmm, and besides, the primordial spirit inside Skadi has been transferred, so even if she were to bleed now, it shouldn't be a problem.

“It’s entirely possible.” Aya didn’t take Bai Ye’s words as a joke. “It seems the problems in the deep sea are getting more and more serious.”

"So, what are you strange Agorians? It's time for you to reveal the answer to the mystery." Dan was still curious about Skadi and Specter's identities.

“Hmm, I think you could ask Dr. Kal'tsit—I think you should know her.” Bai Ye didn’t want to keep chatting with four powerful beings who were clearly not human.

Moreover, all four of them possess the potential to be riddle tellers, especially the keyboardist Frost, who always expresses himself without saying a word, through the playing of his instruments.

Bai Ye had no interest in dealing with them; it was better to leave the riddle-solving to the riddle-solving man.

Of all the people White Night knows, the most skilled riddle solver is probably Dr. Kal'tsit.

"You mean AMa-10, Kal'tsit?" Alty immediately jumped for joy. "Yes, we really should look for her... Where is she now?"

“Rhodes Island.” Bai Ye took out a piece of paper and wrote down Rhodes Island’s current location. “I think Dr. Kal’tsit won’t refuse you interesting visitors.”

"Then, who are you?" Dan didn't let Bai Ye off the hook.

"Me? I'm just an ordinary messenger, a scholar, and also an ordinary supervisor at Rhodes Island." Bai Ye said, putting away the "Arc Light" fragments that were floating beside him.

“Ordinary? I don’t think so… At least, you give us a sense of being one of us.” Dan bit his lip.
