Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Patriot bent down and carefully took the letter with both hands.

In his large hands, the letter seemed so small, yet he looked at the envelope with utmost solemnity, remaining silent for a long time.

Herag specially took out his own lacquered seal.

Yes, he trusted Bai Ye and didn't mind using the seal that would reveal his identity.

Seeing the familiar marks and handwriting, Patriot remained silent for a moment before carefully opening the envelope.

Bai Ye stood quietly to the side, watching the Patriot read the letter.

He always liked to be a messenger; this land had been broken for too long, and only a messenger could reconnect people.

……

"call--"

After a long silence, Patriot put away the envelope, and after a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh.

"I thought it was just a rumor. I never expected it to really be a general."

"I even thought he was dead..."

Bai Ye shook his head: "Keeping your identity a secret is also a form of death."

“Yes, this Ursus Empire feels unfamiliar to me.” Patriot lowered his head and looked at Bai Ye. “Thank you.”

He expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"It was nothing, just a small favor. My company has partnered with Azazel Clinic. Perhaps it's a good thing for the Reunion Movement too." Bai Ye felt a little awkward; this was the first time Patriot had thanked him so earnestly.

Whether in a past life or now, this is the first time.

This is a legendary figure in the game, and yet he bows to him.

"General, tell me about your plan." Patriot ignored Bai Ye and continued, "It's very dangerous. How confident are you?"

"Not too high." Bai Ye's [Accelerated Thinking] is geared towards the combat domain, capable of calculating the course of a battle, but unable to calculate the success rate of a particular strategy.

Even so, he wasn't entirely confident; he still didn't know what the emperor at the heart of the empire was thinking. Although he knew a little about that NPC, he couldn't be certain until the very last moment.

“We can take it one step at a time,” Patriot nodded. “We still have time.”

“So we need your help, sir,” Bai Ye said, seizing the opportunity to persuade him. “As mentioned before, I will bring some doctors to examine and treat you later. Your equipment also needs maintenance.”

“Yeah…” Patriot tapped his heavy armor.

This armor is quite worn out. Its performance is far inferior to when the army was constantly maintaining it.

Even so, most attacks still struggle to penetrate its defenses.

He was like the Patriot himself—old, but sturdy.

"I see."

"Please, also check for my daughter."

Patriots don't have many concerns, but Froststar is one of them.

After losing his biological son, he no longer wanted to lose his daughter.

"I see."

Bai Ye was delighted.

Chapter 81 The Quintessential Quintuplets of White Night?

After speaking with his uncle in private, Bai Ye felt slightly relieved.

Originally, the Reunion Movement's target was Chernobog, but due to Black Serpent's intervention, the organization's goal was skewed.

Incited by Talulah, who has transformed into a black snake, the goal of integration has shifted from "occupying the city" and "gaining their own homeland" to pure violence and revenge with no organization or discipline.

I wonder if that guy is still around.

The black snake that had been hiding in the shadows was quite troublesome.

Bai Ye wanted to investigate what kind of thing this was.

"Looks like I'll have to make another trip to Longmen later."

Bai Ye wrote down everything he needed to do in his memo.

He was too busy, taking on far more than what a weak, pitiful, and helpless department head like himself should be responsible for—and it seemed that he had brought all of this upon himself, so he had no one else to blame.

While pondering, Bai Ye walked into the conference room.

It was called a conference room, but it was really just a large tent. Patriots who went inside could only shrink their bodies as much as possible to avoid poking a hole in the tent.

Seeing his father's somewhat hesitant demeanor, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh.

It's actually quite ridiculous.

"Hmm?" Miss Froststar looked at White Night with some confusion.

Alina smiled gently at him.

Bai Ye then realized that among the major leaders of the Reunion Movement, beautiful girls actually made up the vast majority, and three of them had white hair.

Thinking back on the girls I've met, aside from the colorful penguin logistics, on Rhodes Island, Dr. Kal'tsit, Miss Warfarin, and the adorable little orca all seemed to have white fur.

"Could it be that I really have a constitution that attracts white-haired people?"

Bai Ye couldn't help but drift off during the meeting, but the question seemed genuinely interesting.

Then Bai Ye recalled a post from a game forum in her previous life about the theory that in Arknights Online, a black and white color scheme would inevitably result in one death, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Look, right now, it seems like he's the only one with black hair! The rest are all white.

For some reason, an image suddenly popped into Bai Ye's mind of many white-haired creatures dividing him into five equal parts.

"Um...it's probably not very likely."

Perhaps because the sense of déjà vu was too strong, Bai Ye didn't know how to comment on it for a moment.

"white night."

Damn it, why am I suddenly having this strange premonition...?

"white night……"

"..."

"white night!"

"Ah!" Bai Ye was instantly awakened, and he couldn't help but jump up from his chair.

He then noticed that all the girls and the old man were looking at him curiously.

"Mr. Bai Ye, are you too tired? Do you need to rest for a while?" Alina said, standing up and pouring Bai Ye a glass of water.

Talulah casually took the cup and handed it to Bai Ye.

At first, the tea was cold, but when the cup was placed in front of Bai Ye, the tea inside began to steam.

"Thank you, please continue." Bai Ye was a little embarrassed, realizing that he had actually spaced out during the meeting.

"Cough, it's okay. We were just discussing some internal issues and affairs of the Reunion Movement."

Talulah then shifted the topic back to the meeting's content.

Frostnova raised an eyebrow. To be honest, she found Bai Ye's stunned expression quite amusing.

"These are the plans and suggestions that Bai Ye gave me. What do you think?" Talulah placed the plan that Bai Ye had given her on the table.

Although Patriot had already read Hrag's letter once, he still took the plan and read it carefully again.

Bai Ye couldn't help but imagine what the old man would look like wearing reading glasses, but unfortunately, he always hid his face under a closed helmet, making it impossible for anyone to see his features.

Frostnova and Alina then read it through as well.

Midway through, Froststar couldn't help but look up at Baiye with a strange gaze. She hadn't expected that Baiye would have such a crazy plan.

However, if the plan goes smoothly...

It must be said that Bai Ye's proposal was quite tempting.

"What exactly is your purpose?" Miss Froststar stared at White Night, her expression serious. "If we really want to carry out this plan, your sacrifice will be the greatest, and you will even have to complete the most dangerous part."

"If you fail, you will be directly at the command of two army groups, and you will die..." Is it really necessary to go this far?

Bai Ye shook his head: "But once the plan succeeds, we will have a mobile city, even if it's just a core city. This deal is very worthwhile."

"I can also get a share of the profits."

Bai Ye also concealed a secret: intelligence about the sealed-off area inside the core city.

There is a mysterious device there known as a "sarcophagus".

This is a legendary city that can operate without relying on Originium mines.

"..."

Miss Froststar stared into White Night's eyes, and White Night quietly met her gaze.

Those were clear, bright black eyes, like a calm lake, and Froststar could even see her own reflection in them.

'That's not the look of someone who's solely driven by profit.'

Frostnova was always worried that White Night would use Reunion as a tool, treating the Infected as pawns in his game. Therefore, she always had some distrust towards White Night.

However, now that things have come to this, she admits that Bai Ye might indeed be cooperating with them. Whether it's medicine, supplies, or helpers... although it's nominally a collaboration, the Reunion Movement has already owed Bai Ye far too much.

He wasn't even infected.

'We've all walked this path alone before...' Miss Frostnova pursed her lips, feeling uncomfortable with this kindness.

She even felt a little ashamed; someone had clearly extended a helping hand to them, yet she still harbored doubts…

"Does Miss Froststar have any other questions?" Bai Ye tilted his head, wondering what this cold-blooded guy was thinking.

But there was something off about her eyes.

Could it be that they saw through my plan for the stone coffin?

Or is there some other reason?

“I have no more questions…” Frostnova withdrew her gaze.

“Me neither.” Patriot naturally agreed with White Night’s plan, after all, he had read Hrag’s letters.

Alina frowned: "We need to strengthen ideological construction, we must clarify discipline, and we cannot relax on this aspect..."

Bai Ye smiled as he watched Xiao Lu speak eloquently; the once adorable teacher had now become a qualified cadre of the Integration Movement.

Although she lacked combat ability, she played a crucial role in stabilizing morale within the army.

“Let’s proceed in phases then. Even if the plan doesn’t succeed completely, we’ll have other contingency plans,” Talulah finally decided.

Chapter 82 I'm Not a Good Person

"We need a professional reconnaissance, infiltration, and assassination team."

After making her decision, Talulah couldn't help but speak up.

Yes, they need to establish contact with Chernobog and send a group of members into the city to infiltrate beforehand.

At the same time, they also need to investigate the city's layout, defenses, and communicate with the infected individuals within.

"That's true, but it should be able to be established."

Bai Ye suddenly remembered that the Reunion Movement was not yet complete, and mercenaries would join later, as well as the assassins that Talulah had mentioned.

That was a girl who was as light as a swallow and whose feet were incredibly slippery.

Codenamed Kingkiller, the sole designated target for persecution.

In his past life, this guy made a grand entrance during the attack on Lungmen, making everyone think he was a big boss, but he was blasted away by a water cannon from a Lungmen firefighter...

Yes, it was swept away...

It was washed away...

From then on, the child's reputation was ruined. Every time he came out, he brought a strange sense of humor, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
