Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Then he saw the girl staring blankly at him.

After their eyes met, Bai Ye's expression became somewhat unnatural, while Titi remained calm and composed.

'Damn it, I really want to see her lose her composure...' Bai Ye had a certain ambition, but unfortunately he was too weak, and even Didi didn't dare to sleep with him in her arms.

The road ahead is long and arduous...

Bai Ye discovered that he had found a new motivation to become stronger: to be able to take down the orca as soon as possible!

……

Skadi looked at Bai Ye, suddenly smiled, and then said, "Good morning."

"...Isn't it a bit too early? It seems we've already gotten used to life in the wild."

In the wilderness, travelers usually get up very early and set up camp before it gets dark.

They abandoned man-made timekeeping devices and rediscovered the natural rhythms of life.

It's obvious that both Bai Ye and Skadi's biological clocks are a bit messed up, because they've just returned from the tundra and need time to adjust.

"Want to sleep a little longer?" Skadi asked, leaning down.

She looked somewhat languid, like a salted fish without any ambition.

Bai Ye shook his head: "Let's forget about it. We have quite a few places to go today."

……

The two began packing their luggage and changing their clothes.

After spending a night together, the two became more in sync, and could even understand each other's thoughts without saying a word.

Skadi changed into a casual outfit: a white shirt, a plaid skirt, and a tie. Bai Ye was immediately struck by her beauty; Skadi looked stunning in her new clothes.

"Hmm... it doesn't feel very convenient." The girl turned around in front of the mirror, then tried waving her hand, frowning slightly in dissatisfaction.

The clothes are indeed nice, but they're not very practical for combat: the shirt is a bit tight, making Skadi feel restricted and uncomfortable, as she's used to her original clothes.

The deep-sea hunter didn't quite understand why he had to wear a school uniform-like everyday clothes.

“We’re already conspicuous enough, so we naturally have to be more discreet in other areas.”

Bai Ye no longer wore the Rhodes Island uniform, but changed into a black trench coat. He turned up the collar, obscuring half of his face.

"Is it alright if I don't bring a sword?"

Naturally, he couldn't wander around the streets of Chernobog with a weapon, so Bai Ye temporarily put the girl's weapon away.

Skadi raised her little fist and waved it: "It's okay, you can still kill people even without a sword."

"I'm very strong."

Bai Ye chuckled and shook his head. Skadi didn't need him to worry about her; after all, few people could withstand one punch from her.

……

In the early hours of the morning, there was already a considerable amount of traffic on the streets of Chernobog.

Skadi followed White Night through the streets of Ursus.

"We need to 'visit' someone first... Hopefully, we'll get what we want."

Bai Ye tugged at his collar and put on a hat, pulling the brim down low.

The two headed to the parking lot, and then Bai Ye drove the vehicle across the street and stopped in front of a mansion.

The area was heavily guarded, with sentries on duty and several well-hidden surveillance cameras.

Several police officers are on patrol.

"It seems we didn't go to the wrong place."

Bai Ye grinned.

He and Skadi easily bypassed the guards and then silently entered the mansion.

From the outside, it looks like a rather luxurious little house. In Chernobog's Upper Town, land prices are quite high, and only big shots can afford to live there.

However, once inside, Bai Ye discovered that the interior decoration was extremely simple, completely inconsistent with the exterior.

Skadi remained silent. Although Bai Ye's method of visiting was somewhat strange, she didn't seem to mind.

Bai Ye met the person he was looking for in the study.

He was a haggard middle-aged man. When he saw Bai Ye and Skadi swaggering into his study without any attempt to conceal their presence, he was neither surprised nor angry. Instead, he calmly sat down in his chair.

There was even a sense of "relief" in his eyes.

"You've come to kill me?"

The middle-aged man's voice was somewhat hoarse, sounding like sandpaper rubbing against a rock.

"Let's get started... I think this day will come eventually."

Skadi tilted her head, looking at the middle-aged man in front of her with some confusion, who seemed to have no will to fight.

Yes, it wasn't out of arrogance, or because of some special trap or plan; this person had simply given up resistance and even wanted to die.

Very strange.

Bai Ye shook his head: "No, no, Mr. Sergei, you may die, but not today."

Sergei was a Royal Scientist of Chernobog and also the Secretary of the Chernobog City Council.

The reason Bai Ye approached him was because intelligence from his previous life indicated that there were two keys that could activate the core city functions of Chernobog.

One was held by Mayor Boris Marquis, while the other was in the hands of Secretary Sergei.

"You didn't come here to kill me?" Sergei looked at the two men in front of him with some doubt.

"What we want is the key and password you have."

Bai Ye also didn't quite understand why this high-ranking and powerful person in front of him was so eager to die.

"Key? Password?"

Sergei's eyes widened.

He felt like he might have encountered a madman.

In his mind, the power of the Ursus Empire was unmatched, and Bai Ye's actions were tantamount to making an enemy of the Ursus Empire.

However, when Sergei mustered up the courage to look up, he saw a deep, mysterious gaze beneath the brim of White Night's hat.

'This guy is serious.'

Suddenly, Sergei was in a difficult situation.

He was an indecisive and timid person by nature.

"We don't usually need that thing, so why don't you let us keep it safe?" Bai Ye suggested with a smile, while taking an apple out of his inventory and tossing it in his hand.

"What... exactly do you need the key for?" Sergei asked boldly.

Bai Ye took a bite of the apple, then shook his head and said, "I can't tell you that, but it's definitely for doing good."

Sergei thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second," but now that the other party had come to his house, he was helpless.

However, the city council secretary did not give up the fight; in one corner of his desk was an emergency alarm device.

Once he presses the button, the secret police and guards outside the mansion will immediately enter the room. While these men are responsible for protecting him, they are also monitoring him.

“Secretary, I think perhaps you should be more honest.” Bai Ye saw through Sergei’s plan. He didn’t want to cause too much trouble.

Sergei froze, and with no other choice, he gave up resisting and took the key from a box on the bookshelf.

"This is... the key, and the password."

Sergei hesitated for a moment, then finally recited the password in Ursus for the key: "To feed all the people."

Bai Ye glanced at Skadi, and the girl nodded at him.

The two had previously agreed that Skadi could tell whether the person in front of her was lying by listening to Sergei's breathing and heartbeat.

Bai Ye was finally relieved.

"That really fits the slogans of the old emperor's era." Bai Ye recorded the commands using a recording device. He didn't know Ursus language.

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief after putting away the key.

Then, looking at the dejected middle-aged man sitting in the chair, he suddenly remembered that this guy was apparently a Royal Scientist from Chernobog.

In other words, he might know something about the "sarcophagus".

The so-called "sarcophagus" refers to the strange device sealed in the central area of ​​Chernobog's core city.

In the previous life, the core city of Chernobog was eventually reclaimed by the Ursus Empire, and players never had the chance to see this magical device again.

With White Nights focusing its primary attention on the core city of Chernobog, it's no surprise that he's eyeing it.

"Mr. Sergei, how much do you know about sarcophagi?"

"What!" Upon hearing the words "sarcophagus," Sergei abruptly raised his head.

This word was like the deepest nightmare to him; for years, he hadn't dared to relive those memories for a single moment. He was terrified of his past.

"Wow, it seems you know something." Bai Ye sat down beside him.

"Damn Boris...you secret police, I've already told you everything, why are you still chasing after me!"

Sergei couldn't help but shout loudly.

“I must say, only now are you behaving like an Ursus.” As Bai Ye finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside the study.

Then he turned his head and saw a young Ursus girl standing timidly outside the door.

"Father?"

Clearly, the girl had heard Sergei's hysterical shouts from the study and had come to check on him.

"Your daughter?" Bai Ye looked at the pretty girl with short white hair with great interest.

“Misha? No…” Sergei felt dizzy. History was repeating itself in an astonishing way. In the past, Boris had threatened this cowardly father with his two children.

And now, a new demon is knocking on his door.

“Misha…go back to your room, sweetie. Daddy is just entertaining guests.” Boris stood up and pushed his doubtful daughter out of the study. Then he locked the door and stood in the doorway: “Please…no, please let my daughter go.”

"..." Bai Ye blinked. Why did he suddenly seem like the villain in the current situation? Could it be that he really wasn't a good person?

"Well, letting that young lady go is no problem, but I want to know what exactly happened in the past." Bai Ye tried his best to calm the frightened middle-aged man.

"Phew—you promise you won't hurt her?"

"Of course, we wouldn't stoop so low as to bully a girl," Bai Ye promised.

Looking at the strange-looking Bai Ye and the silent white-haired girl standing behind him, Sergei sighed and then began to recount what had happened here in the past.

The sarcophagus, the scientist, Kal'tsit, one's own betrayal, the purge...

It was a long story, but Sergei told it in a hurry and with great distress.

The sarcophagus was a dangerous object, and the scientists who gathered to study it decided to close it, which attracted the covetous eyes of the military.

In order to protect his daughter, Sergei betrayed the goals and data of the experimental project to Boris.

In the end, only he survived; the rest of the scientists were silenced and all died in the core area of ​​the sarcophagus.

This is the most tragic story in a middle-aged man's life, and for him to bring it up again is like reopening his wounds.

"Wait, why is Dr. Kal'tsit's name on it?" Bai Ye suddenly noticed the key point.

Why is Dr. Kal'tsit here?

"Dr. Kal'tsit is our teacher. She taught us how to use the energy of the sarcophagus. She is also the director of the research institute."

Sergei's words stunned Bai Ye.

Good heavens, how many secrets is this old woman hiding? I never imagined that the sarcophagus in Chernobog was also related to her.

...So, Bai Ye is now threatening Dr. Kal'tsit's student and forcing her to reveal the secret of the sarcophagus?

That's really funny.
