Hello, Arknights

Chapter 231 White, Red Eyes

Kal'tsit gently put down her pen and pondered the file for a while. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Kelsey, it's me."

"...Come in, do you have any questions about your work?" Kal'tsit raised her eyes. The person who came in took off his hood and smiled bitterly: "No way? I just got off work five hours ago. Doctor Kal'tsit, can you please stop exploiting my labor so much..."

"As for our previous conversation, it was just a tedious process necessary for work communication. In fact, I did not make the work more difficult than you can handle. Or is it that the complexity of the world makes it impossible for your inner state to function properly and you need me to solve it, Precious?" Kal'tsit took a sip of the coffee that had gone cold at some point.

"...It's okay. I'm not here to complain. I'm not that disappointing." Precious sat down naturally and said with a smile, "Just now, it was Operator White Dove who came, right?"

"Yes, file proofreader. Since you are here, take a look at his file. If you have no objection, just sign it." Kal'tsit placed the file in her hand on the table and gently pushed it in front of the woman.

"Oh, is that so? It just so happens that the person I want to talk to you about is Operator White Dove." Precious smiled in surprise, took the file, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on carefully, and carefully read the evaluation given by Kal'tsit.

"Well... Kal'tsit, I've also seen how he fights. I've also watched the test videos and reviews of other operators. Is his evaluation... a little low?" After a moment, she looked up, looking a little confused.

"No, I understand what you mean, but... due to some reasons that are inconvenient to explain, it needs to be pointed out that these actions are all aimed at strengthening his own safety awareness, and are relatively objective." Kal'tsit said this without any unnatural expression.

"I don't have the authority to know these reasons?"

"In theory, you have the authority to know the information of most operators on the island, but unfortunately, he is not in this system. In my opinion, there is really no need for you to know this person now. At the same time, as your former friend, I will give you a piece of advice:

“He is not a white feathered beast, but a lost floating whale. His sorrow is buried under the sea by the starlight. When he dives into the boundless deep blue and sees everything, he will devour the starlight when he leaps again.”

"I hope you don't get hurt by mistake... so as to avoid getting hurt again... Forget it, you haven't told me what you are here for." Kal'tsit looked at the confused Doctor and sighed inwardly.

"Ah... I understand. Well, now it reminds me that he is the reason why I came to see you." Precious patted his cheek. "Can he be my assistant during this period?"

"It's basically impossible for you to give up."

"Eh...why..." Precious moved closer.

"Because he has to study," Kelsey said calmly, "He hasn't even graduated from high school yet."

"Ah? How did you know?"

"But haven't you been familiarizing yourself with the layout of the island recently? You can ask him to be responsible for your security. Of course, if you neglect your work, Amiya will probably not let you leave the office until you finish your tasks."

"Amiya... this child is a bit inhuman..."

"I think she just does this to you..."

"What, why are you speaking so quietly?"

"I said it's okay, the kid just cares about you more, just in a different way. It's related to before you lost your memory."

Precious fell back in the chair and said, "I really want to take a vacation..."

"I think if you spend most of your working time on real work, you won't stay up until the early morning. Also, next time, don't sneak out with Huang to drink at night."

"To be honest, you really like to nag, and sometimes you say things that are hard to understand..."

"Doctor, you should go back to your office." Kal'tsit narrowed her eyes. Precious laughed and left angrily.

She didn’t know what her personality was like before she lost her memories, but her life now… was pretty good.

I always feel like I have been freed from some kind of high-pressure environment.

Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief and rarely looked back in thought for a while.

"... Ling Dengxian... Theresa, are you okay?"

It’s a pity that Ling Dengxian probably can’t answer this question now.

In the Rhodes Island Medical Department, the person that Lin Guang was visiting was fast asleep. Compared to the others, this Sarkaz with jet-black horns woke up much later.

"Liz... Shining hasn't come back yet. I heard that you've been having nightmares lately. I hope my presence here can give you some peace of mind..." Lin Guang murmured while holding her hand. The medical staff on duty knew their relationship and specially left space for them.

"Shining has been very busy lately. There have been many injured patients this month, and she has performed no less than ten surgeries. I don't think she told you..."

"Why don't you wait until she wakes up before saying these words?" Someone at the side suddenly spoke up. Although the tone was as light as possible, it still almost made Lin Guang subconsciously fight back.

"White Dove?" Lin Guang frowned slightly. "Dr. Kal'tsit wants to see you for something? Why are you here?"

"Because we've finished the discussion, and once our ID cards are issued, we'll be official colleagues. Then I thought I'd go around the medical department to get to know the situation. Oh, and is there any place in the intensive care unit that you can't enter? I heard from the medical staff that you can't walk around the wards on the east side, so I came to the west. When I saw you here, I thought I'd take a look and say hello."

"...This is the east wing special observation ward." Lin Guang's eyes twitched.

“…I’m sorry.” Ling Dengxian knew he had made a big mistake and admitted it immediately.

"Operator White Dove... you'd better familiarize yourself with the terrain as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy to make mistakes. If the situation is serious, Dr. Kal'tsit may hang the person up." Lin Guang reminded him with the intention of maintaining order.

"……real?"

"real."

"Where is it hanging?"

"Deck bridge."

“…Is there a precedent?”

"Dr. Warfarin, the veteran of the medical department."

Judging from Lin Guang's personality, it seems that he is not exaggerating... "I'm sorry... I hope it doesn't have any bad impact on your friend?" If the patient is seriously ill or has special conditions, it would indeed be a big deal if he did this.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"Since she said so, then—"

The white demon blinked, then shrank back a little inwardly at Ling Dengxian's gaze.

"Liz, you're awake. Did you have a nightmare?" Lin Guang immediately asked with concern.

"It's okay...some scary thing just ran away. I was almost asleep, so I woke up." The girl sat up, and Ling Dengxian noticed that her movements were laborious.

"Be careful..."

"Margaret... who is he?" The girl cast her gaze towards Ling, who was hesitating and thinking about whether he should slip away wisely, with a hint of curiosity in her confusion.

"He is Operator White Dove, a new member joining Rhodes Island - which department did you join?" Lin Guang turned around and asked.

"Ah...it seems..."

"Oh, Dr. Kal'tsit hasn't told you yet? That's normal—"

"Uh, no." Ling Dengxian scratched his head. "Director Kai said that I belong to two departments at the same time, the Operations Department and the Medical Department."

"Two departments...you are also studying medicine?" Lin Guang asked curiously, and discovered another point that he had not noticed before.

"It's just learning... I don't want to let some tragedies that can be rewritten happen again." Ling Dengxian showed a very faint smile, but there was some weakness between his brows.

"Well, then we will be colleagues in the same department from now on." The Sarkaz girl named Liz smiled and extended her hand to him.

"You... are a doctor?" Ling Dengxian was a little surprised. He held the little hand very carefully, fearing that he would crush the girl in front of him who was as fragile as a porcelain doll if he used too much force.

"Yeah." The girl laughed lightly.

"Liz is also a doctor in the medical department, and she is also a patient that the entire medical department needs to pay attention to. She has a high talent in Originium skills, battlefield first aid, and clinical medicine, but she can easily see through the wounds and lesions of others, but cannot find the source of her own illness." Lin Guang sighed. Even Shining was at a loss in this regard, so she could not help at all.

"Who is Miss Liz?" Ling asked carefully.

"Severe mineralogy, loss of limb function due to physiological defects, and memory impairment." Liz spoke softly, her green eyes rippling slightly. Perhaps because she had heard these terms so many times, she was no longer so sad about her medical history.

"Feel sorry……"

"It's okay. I have Shining and Margaret with me. I'm luckier than many people who are suffering... Many people can't even see the light." Sadness flashed in Liz's eyes, and an imperceptible sigh took away the smile on her lips.

"Fate... will be indelible until the end of life."

"Not necessarily." Ling Dengxian and Lin Guang said in unison. Liz said "eh" softly, and the two exchanged glances. Ling Dengxian felt that he should leave.

"Well, I will continue to familiarize myself with the environment. Miss Liz, Miss Lin Guang, goodbye."

"Okay, see you later." Lin Guang nodded, and Liz waved gently.

She thought of the flames of Chernobyl. He was indeed doing this, but why...

Lin Guang stared at the man's back.

"Hello, how do I get back to the dormitory area? West, ok, thank you." Then Ling Dengxian left from the north.

"Is this guy really the man who blocked the sea of ​​fire... Why do I always feel something is wrong..."

"Lin Guang?"

"Nothing, Liz, I'm just confused. This White Dove operator once withstood the brunt of a disaster and saved many lives, but... you've seen it too, I always feel that her image is a bit shattered..."

"Is it strange, Lin Guang?" Liz hugged her knees and tilted her head. "Don't you often make mistakes? But it doesn't affect your brilliance."

"...You're right. We are all 'human beings'. I will try my best to reduce unnecessary mistakes..."

"Well, but Lin Guang is also very cute when he makes mistakes occasionally." Liz smiled gently.

Ling Dengxian wandered around for a long time and finally found the deck. He planned to take a rest here first and then use it as a base to visit other areas of Rhodes Island.

Well, because there is no problem getting back to the dormitory (really, after taking the wrong path many times I finally remembered the way back to the room).

"I remember the weather was fine in the morning... When did the dark clouds appear..."

A cool breeze suddenly blew, and Ling Dengxian shivered with cold. When he was considering whether to go back to the dormitory to get Mostima's scarf, he looked up and a silver-white figure caught his attention.

There was also a long, cold ballad that flowed calmly into his heart.

He didn't understand the language, but he knew the emotions because he had experienced them deeply.

The cool breeze was gradually getting colder. Ling Dengxian narrowed his eyes slightly and saw clearly the silver-haired girl Agor who was sitting on the edge of the deck.

After a moment, as if sensing his gaze, a pair of red eyes looked at him.
