Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

"Don't worry, Dr. Warfarin is different from ordinary Blood Demons, so please don't panic."

Typing Girl was also a little surprised. Dr. Warfarin would not usually lose his composure like this. Even if he was not serious, he would not openly go berserk.

"It's probably something urgent..."

Encountering Miss Blood Demon was just a minor incident; the two soon arrived at the door of Dr. Kal'tsit's office.

"I will wait outside. Please rest assured that the office has good soundproofing."

After saying that, the angel sat down on a chair in the hallway outside the door, took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket, and slowly ate it.

……

Bai Ye stood outside the door and took a deep breath.

Things have deviated drastically from the original plan. He hadn't intended to confront Dr. Kal'tsit on the very first day. To discuss cooperation, he needed to wait until Miss Swire had registered a company…

Opening the game panel that only he could see, Bai Ye checked his current status. All his attributes were above 30 points. Combined with his skills, combat experience, and the weaknesses he knew as an old hunter, dealing with a doctor should not be a problem—provided that the monsters raised by Dr. Kal'tsit were not around.

In his previous life as a player, Bai Ye had seen the enormous monsters sent by Dr. Kal'tsit, but the office space was too small now, so the black thing shouldn't be there.

(The player is unaware that Mon3tr was summoned directly by Kal'tsit...)

Bai Ye felt like he was setting a flag, realizing he still lacked information.

Everything was normal. Bai Ye closed the game panel and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A calm female voice came from inside the door, gentler than Bai Ye had imagined, and not cold at all.

"It feels like I'm going to see the headmaster..." Bai Ye shook off some unpleasant memories and tapped the door.

Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of her?

The door slid open automatically, and Bai Ye walked in.

A woman sat in the room. She had short white hair, a youthful appearance, and fair skin, just like a young girl.

However, Bai Ye sensed a contradiction in her—her temperament was completely inconsistent with her appearance.

It was a kind of elder's aura, giving people a special sense of security and solemnity. This special aura enveloped the entire room, creating an indescribable strangeness.

However, I felt very at ease.

Bai Ye couldn't help but stare at her... In his previous life, no player could observe Dr. Kal'tsit at such close range.

"If you're concerned about a particular part of my face, you can point it out directly. You don't need to keep staring at me."

This was the first thing Dr. Kal'tsit said.

Bai Ye was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was the woman who had spoken.

She looked up from her desk and met Bai Ye's gaze. Her emerald green eyes, like jewels, shone with an indescribable light.

It’s weird.

Bai Ye muttered to himself, but it was strange that he couldn't judge the threat level of the doctor from her appearance. Bai Ye had seen a lot in his previous life and his eyesight was naturally amazing, but he couldn't see through the doctor's background.

Even though the black monster wasn't there, in the cramped space, Bai Ye believed that his sword strike would be enough to seal the victory. However, his intuition, honed from countless battles, told him that his chances of winning were not high.

Could it be that the rumor is true?

Is the doctor the best fighter on Rhodes Island?

how can that be possible?

She's just a wet nurse, very fragile...

While pondering, Bai Ye found a chair and sat down opposite Kal'tsit.

“I just didn’t expect that Kal’tsit herself was also an infected person.” As he spoke, Bai Ye looked at Dr. Kal’tsit’s exposed shoulders and saw black crystals.

The doctor carelessly exposed these things to the public eye, instead of trying to hide them like a typical infected person.

"I thought someone like you wouldn't be bothered by such things," Dr. Kal'tsit said noncommittally.

This time, it was Bai Ye's turn to be puzzled.

Someone like him.

What exactly does Dr. Kal'tsit know?

"Please rest assured, I have no hostility towards you. I'm just curious why someone like you would be interested in such a small pharmaceutical company," Dr. Kal'tsit continued.

Bai Ye blinked. Communicating with the riddle teller was exhausting... He tentatively asked, "Do you know who I am?"

“Of course, since you didn’t deliberately conceal your identity, I quickly learned about you from the abnormal data reported by PRTS.” Dr. Kal’tsit’s tone and voice were not aggressive; in fact, they sounded quite pleasant.

"Please be frank, I still don't quite understand." Bai Ye said, placing the medical report on the table in front of Dr. Kal'tsit.

"【Blood Originium Crystal Density】0.00u/L. Only things completely unrelated to Originium would have such data. On this land, currently only 'giant beasts' seem to have this characteristic."

“You are very young, younger than any of your kind.”

Dr. Kal'tsit's words stirred up a storm in Bai Ye's heart.

……

What the hell? A behemoth? In other words, a god?

Are you kidding me?

Bai Ye was speechless. Even if he had transmigrated, he was still a perfectly normal human being, so how could he possibly be a giant beast?

The behemoth was actually myself?

So he's actually a boss template, not an NPC?

"Could there be a mistake?" Bai Ye frowned slightly.

Dr. Kal'tsit did not answer directly, but looked at Bai Ye's hand and slowly said, "Do you possess some innate ability that allows you to cast spells without the aid of Originium?"

Bai Ye subconsciously raised his hand, and a wisp of wind was gathering in his palm.

Indeed, he released Originium Arts directly without going through the casting unit.

So that's how it is. He had always thought he was using Originium Arts through a small casting unit on his short sword, but in fact, he could cast spells out of thin air. That tiny casting unit alone was insufficient to cast spells of the scale he had before.

“Your race’s abilities are unrelated to Originium,” Dr. Kal’tsit explained. “Typically, your Originium Arts are poorly adapted, but you possess more unique powers.”

However, Bai Ye still couldn't believe what Dr. Kal'tsit was saying.

"Doctor, if you wanted to surprise me, perhaps you succeeded, but clearly, I'm not as unrelated to Originium as you claim—"

As Bai Ye spoke, he pulled out the short knife stuck in his outer thigh. Driven by his will, the miniature spellcasting unit on the knife emitted a faint red light, and then energy enveloped the blade.

"The most basic Originium Arts, Attack Enhancement - Type α".

As he spoke, Bai Ye casually thrust out his short sword, which collided with the blade attacking from behind.

"Has your little assassin hiding in the ceiling finally given up?"

As Bai Ye spoke, he turned to the side, dodging the next attack, and clashed with the ghostly figure several more times. Only he knew the danger involved.

Dr. Kal'tsit's assassins are swift and skilled, far exceeding that of ordinary people, but still within the range that White Night can handle.

Bai Ye's fighting style is very special. He doesn't have fixed tactics or sword skills, but he can always accurately block the opponent's attacks.

However, the process was extremely exciting. Both of their weapons were frighteningly short, and the combat distance was too close. A slight mistake could lead to total defeat.

Just then, the door to Dr. Kal'tsit's office was suddenly kicked open.

"boom--"

Bai Ye kicked out of the way and then jumped out of the battle: "It's over. I've taken the high ground."

……

At the same time, the Blood Demon burst into the office and shouted at Dr. Kal'tsit, "Kal'tsit! Guess what I found!"

"That special blood sample can block the circulation of Originium and even absorb Originium energy! And it tastes really good... Wait, what's wrong with you guys?!"

"My God, is there an assassin?"

Inside the room, Dr. Kal'tsit remained seated, her expression unchanged, her eyes reflecting the swirling pieces of paper and furniture. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if concealing her inner thoughts.

The ceiling, walls, and floor were covered in sharp knife marks, a scene of utter devastation.

Miss Blood Demon felt a sharp stinging sensation on her skin, the result of two clashing killing intents. She had entered the battlefield without even realizing it.

The two men facing off held short knives, small weapons perfectly suited for fighting in the confined space of an office.

Upon hearing Miss Blood Demon's exclamation, Typing Girl rushed into the office.

What was happening before her eyes was also beyond the angel's imagination.

"Are you crazy... fighting in Dr. Kal'tsit's office before you've even started working there?"

"No, he was just showing us his Originium Arts."

Dr. Kal'tsit's tone was completely flat, as if it were all perfectly normal, as if fighting in her office was normal, perfectly natural. Nothing to be ashamed of.

"I'm sorry." Bai Ye sheathed his dagger, reverting to his harmless demeanor. "Actually, she struck first."

As Bai Ye spoke, he pointed to the petite Lupo girl who was half-lying on the ground. It was she who had just jumped down from the ceiling and launched the first attack on Bai Ye.

“Red, it’s over.” Dr. Kal’tsit gestured for the girl to put away her weapon, then looked at Bai Ye and said, “I’m sorry about this. She thought you were going to attack me. There have been assassinations of leaders on Rhodes Island before, so we’re being extra cautious.”

"But you really surprised me... especially with Originium Arts."

That's what she said, but Dr. Kal'tsit's tone didn't show any surprise.

"Perhaps I am a descendant of a giant beast and a human..." Bai Ye rambled on.

He himself realized that something was wrong.

Especially the suspiciously damaged race entry on the panel ██.

At first he thought it was a "human".

However, now it seems that a "behemoth" is also possible? Perhaps Kal'tsit's words have some merit.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. One of the meanings of life is reproduction." Dr. Kal'tsit's tone seemed to carry a smile.

Chapter 5 Being Targeted by Vampires

After a period of chaos, the sudden commotion in Dr. Kal'tsit's office finally subsided.

Torn pages, wooden furniture already shredded into pieces, and other odds and ends were gathered together by Bai Ye's wind and piled up in a corner of the office.

Once he accepted that his abilities were not Originium Arts, Byakuya's mastery of his powers began to increase at an astonishing rate.

'I'm not good at Originium Arts, but this isn't Originium Arts, so I'm good at it.' — This idealistic thinking did indeed work.

Unfortunately, the knife marks left on the walls, floors, and ceilings cannot be cleaned for the time being and must be repaired by the logistics department.

The angel looked at Bai Ye with disdain. She had just said that she would behave herself and not cause trouble for the logistics department, but how long has it been? She was already fighting in Dr. Kal'tsit's office.

That's so brave!

She dared to cause trouble in Dr. Kal'tsit's office before even officially joining Rhodes Island. Who knows what she might do in the future? She couldn't even imagine.

Huh, man.

……

Bai Ye was a little puzzled. They were already fighting, so why hadn't Dr. Kal'tsit's summoned beast rushed in from outside?

Isn't she afraid of my knife?

Also, where exactly is that black monster being kept? Does Rhodes Island really have that much space to keep a Mon3tr that's over eight meters long? What does it eat?

Very mysterious.

Bai Ye felt that the water here was too deep.

Unfortunately, she never met him in her past life, and no one has kindly told Bai Ye in this one that Mon3tr was actually summoned directly by Dr. Kal'tsit and usually resides within her body...

Human-machine separation has never existed.

As for Dr. Kal'tsit, she had been observing the young individual before her. He was not as powerful as his kin, but he was also purer; he seemed more human, the more ancient kind. He lacked any characteristics of his race, and didn't even resemble an Agor.

Moreover, his blood did not seem to be as difficult to utilize as that of ordinary giant beasts.

Dr. Kal'tsit was very curious about where this young man, who possessed the world's blessings and had an innate affability, came from.
