Inside, Xia Wan was sitting on the ground with her back against the wall, and she was still unable to stand up. She already knew what was going on when she heard the quarrel in the corridor and the sound of the doorknob being twisted.

"PhD......"

She raised her head, trying hard to use her blurred vision to clearly see the figure who was walking towards her step by step, she puffed up her dry throat and wanted to say something, but in the end she only let out a series of painful coughs.

If it was in normal times, seeing her so uncomfortable, the doctor would have helped her up in a panic and asked for her warmth, but now, the doctor just walked up to her and looked down at her skin that was scratched by gravel and stained by dust. Dirty, with blood on the corner of his mouth, he trembled and asked depressingly: "Is it all true? Xia Wan, the message we just saw, that...you made an agreement with someone else Is it true that he asked you to join Rhodes Island to gain our trust and let you deceive us?"

After hearing this, she understood.

What does God mean by “telling the truth”?

"This is really... Really, I was betrayed severely."

She lowered her head, murmured softly, and after taking a small breath, she suddenly laughed: "It's true, doctor, it's all true, huh... what does it matter? I really lied to you, But I have indeed done a lot for you, from Chernobog to Longmen, from Casimir to Kiesta, I have never let you down..."

Xia Wan, who had always been good at disguising herself with a mask in the past, never thought that her first sentence after tearing off the mask was a mistake.

The doctor did not answer her words, but Kelsey walked up to her with crisp footsteps and replied: "Yes, I admit that you have never let us down until 10 minutes ago, I can't deny this." This is an achievement, but you have just admitted your espionage, personally, even if you can’t find your motive, I can’t trust you anymore.”

"Then what are we going to do with me? I'm now..."

As Xia Wan said, she looked at her outstretched palm, the black box that was originally perfect, now turned into a wreckage full of damage.

"To be honest, I don't trust you anymore, but I also don't trust the person who made an agreement with you. I will personally restart the investigation on you, and before the investigation is completed."

Kelsey turned to look at the doctor, then looked at the operators who were still standing in the corridor and peeping in, and continued: "You will be under house arrest in your own room——this is for you It should be a good treatment, whether you are going to be expelled from Rhodes Island in the future, or..."

The words were not finished, but she knew what Kelsey meant.

"...I accept, thanks, Kelsey."

Thanking her, she supported the wall with one hand and stood up slowly. Her soft and fluffy cherry-white long hair was full of dirt, and her eyes, which were similar to the color of her hair, were still not fully focused, and she looked very dazed, but she still , walking towards the door of the training room step by step.

It was a nice treat indeed, and it kept her out of contact with other people, especially the Doctor.

Chapter 2 The only help

Walk down the corridor.

Walking forward with difficulty in front of those operators, familiar faces flashed in the blurred vision. Now Xia Wan can only recognize the identity of the other party through the color of hair or clothes, and staggers from time to time. The corner of her shoulder, no one is willing to give her a hand.

Ha, it's your own fault.

Hidden in the depths of her mind, the idea that has been buzzing for the past year suddenly came to light, and now she can still act with her own will instead of being forced to go to the cell by someone. A kind of tacit consent.

If her character strength is still there, she can definitely find a chance to escape on the way, although I don't know if she will be stopped by ambushes later.

In "Tomorrow's Ark", Kelsey is one of the very few characters in Xia Wan who did not intentionally close the relationship, because in the early stage of the plot of "Tomorrow's Ark", the roles played by the player and the player—that is, the doctor's relationship with Kelsey There is not much favor, so don't waste this effort.

Thinking about it now, this kind of lazy behavior may be a good thing, at least I didn’t hear much disgust from Kelsey’s words just now—of course, it’s just talking, she doesn’t have the ability to escape even if she wants to escape; If you go out, you can only live a lifetime on this land of Terra.

Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth formed a slight smile that could be called desolate in the eyes of others.

Only people who realize how bad their situation is will show such an expression. Some operators who witnessed this scene couldn't help but want to reach out to help her, but because they couldn't figure out where she is now Where is true and false, one after another looked away.

Betrayal and hypocrisy are not eager to drive the crowd away for a while, but only keep people away with long-term suspicion.

Until she was almost at the end of the corridor, the entrance and exit of the training area, after the passenger elevator flashed a warning light, an operator who was not supposed to be on Rhodes Island walked out of it, he was facing Xia Wan, slightly taken aback, immediately He stepped forward quickly to support her.

"Yuanyuan, your body is injured... raise your head, let me have a look."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xia Wan raised her head slightly, and in her vision was a tall dark blue and almost black figure—even though she couldn't see him clearly, she recognized him, and asked in amazement: "ACE? Are you Are you still on duty?"

"Ah, I just boarded the ship a few minutes ago. I can't stay too long. I just heard people talking about you as soon as I got on the ship, so I rushed over to have a look."

"Yes, then you already know me..."

"Understood, although I heard it from other people... don't move, the pupils don't focus, how long has this happened? Or was it... the medical operator from the beginning! Don't be stunned Go! She needs professional treatment!"

ACE was testing something in front of her eyes, and suddenly turned around and shouted, several medical officers came to their senses, rushed over to check: "It should be caused by the shock wave just now, do you feel pain in your eyes? No? Is the head still dizzy? Slightly? Hmm... There is a possibility of nerve damage, and you need to go to the medical department for a detailed examination, Dr. Kelsey!"

"Send her there, don't worry, I'll let Mon3tr follow her."

Kelsey's voice came from behind, and then she was helped into the elevator by the medical operator under the watchful eye of Mon3tr.

Before leaving, she wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw the blurred figure, and missed the opportunity after a little hesitation.

In the closed elevator, between her slight panting and Mon3tr's menacing growl, a question that was even softer than these two voices suddenly came: "...Why?"

The person who spoke seemed to be full of doubts, but because of some other reasons, he asked so softly when not many people were watching.

Of course, no matter how soft the voice was, Xia Wan still heard it and recognized it. She just had a hard time answering, and subconsciously clenched her lips, appearing very hesitant.

In the end, she sighed slightly and said: "...This is my choice, sorry, Xu Yu."

"choose......"

Xu Yu repeated her words, and Xia Wan felt only coldness from the hands that were always wearing white gloves that supported her.

After a while, perhaps because the elevator was about to arrive, Xu Yu said softly again: "Even though this happened, I still need to tell you that tomorrow, I plan to leave Rhodes Island."

"yes......"

From the perspective of the game, whether Xu Yu leaves Rhodes Island or not, she will never leave the player's Rhodes Island, and her choice at this time will not interfere with the game level at all———— In fact, non-plot During this period, most of the operator's choices will not interfere with the game level, just like Xia Wan does not think that he has lost his power tonight. On the player's Rhodes Island, the operator [Paradise] will also lose his card face same intensity.

But from the perspective of personal plot, Xu Yu should have chosen to stay on Rhodes Island in the end.

Therefore, Xia Wan only thought for a moment, and persuaded: "But you should stay here, so that it will be good for you and Rhodes Island."

But what she didn't expect was that this sentence had the opposite effect. After Xu Yu heard it, she pushed her a step forward: "That's how you persuaded me back then. Every word of this sentence really doesn't matter at all. change."

"This......"

Oops.

Xia Wan's heart skipped a beat.

Previously, in order to establish a good relationship with the operators, she used a lot of information that could only be obtained from the perspective of the player. Because there was too much information, she couldn't remember exactly what information she used. What strange things have they said.

Then, perhaps seeing her stunned reaction, Xu Yu sighed: "Forget it, I just wanted to tell you this decision unilaterally, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to do this anymore... False acting is fine too."

"No, it's not like that, I—"

"I don't know why you can always take advantage of others' weakness, and I can't understand, I am your friend... maybe you never regard me as a friend, I can only do my best As much as I can...I advise you, don't do such bad things again."

Perhaps it was the first time she heard Xu Yu say so many words in one breath.

You must know that even when facing the doctor or the player character, she doesn't have so many words.

But it is in this situation.

In such a situation, what else can be said, what can be said to work?

She could only bite her lips bitterly, and only dared to bow her head in silence.

Chapter 3 Uninvited Guest

It didn't take long to treat the injuries in the medical department.

The abrasions and blunt injuries on Xia Wan's body were not serious, just applying some ointment was enough, and her eyes were also found to be caused by damage to the eye muscles, so she put on gauze and took some medicine, and let her eyes rest for a few minutes The sky will be able to see the light again.

Therefore, she didn't even have a chance to talk to the busy medical operators around her, so she was sent back to her room in the dormitory area on the second basement floor of Rhodes Island.

fair enough.

After Xu Yu said that just now, she didn't dare to talk to other people casually. It would be very difficult to solve the situation if she said something carelessly and made the situation worse.

For example, after returning to the dormitory, she sat on her bed and thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know how to solve Xu Yu's matter.

I have no clue at all, as if I have reached a dead end.

From now on, maybe what awaits her on this Rhodes Island is a dead end, and she personally planted one hidden mine after another for herself.

"...And the gauze that gets in the way, it really gives me a headache just thinking about it."

Complaining in a low voice, Xia Wan raised her head and looked out of the window, at least facing the direction of the window.With her eyes closed now, she could only feel that the room over there seemed to be a little brighter than the dark room. It was the light outside Rhodes Island.

If there was nothing wrong with her eyes, she originally planned to go back to her room and dig out her notepad to think about where the mine was planted in the first place——Of course this kind of thing will be recorded. There may be tens of thousands of words of information written down, and the ghost knows when it will be forgotten. She doesn't have much confidence in her memory.

But now, her whole body hurts subtly, she has no strength in her hands and feet, and her eyes are still blind. Even the most basic cleaning of the dirt on her body can't be done, so she can only sit on the bed in a daze.

In the past year, Xia Wan has never been idle like this, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while. She always felt that she should find something to do, and she could still find something to do.

Barely stood up, walked in the room, accidentally knocked over something when walking here, and made a crisp sound when it fell to the ground, and bumped into something like a locker when walking over there, causing my calf to hurt. It hurts, I want to go back to the bed cautiously, and because I accidentally stepped on the debris that just fell on the ground without shoes, the sole of my foot was cut open, and finally I can only lie on the ground trembling and groping Going forward, he managed to get back on the bed, and immediately wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.

She had already made up her mind that she would never get out of bed until her eyes were healed.

However, if she doesn't look for things, things will come to her, and it's the last thing she wants to encounter.

In the darkness, there was the sound of the door lock being opened, and then, someone gently twisted the handle and pushed the door open, and the bright light in the corridor shone in from the door, reflecting on Xia Wan's face full of bewilderment superior.

Normally no one can open the door of the operator's room except the operator himself and the leadership of Rhodes Island, but now that Xia Wan is in the room, there are only a few people who can open the door.

"who is it.....?"

Xia Wan asked, expecting from the bottom of her heart that the person who came was Amiya or Kelsey. She could guess how much they talked to her, but the other one was...

Unfortunately, her premonitions were always accurate.

The uninvited guest did not answer her question, but scanned the room, saw the cup that fell on the floor, saw the crooked locker, and saw the pools of blood in the middle of the floor. After thinking for a few seconds, he squatted down Cleaned up the glass shards, straightened the locker, wiped off the blood stains, then walked quickly to the bed and asked, "Where is the injury, show me."

This is the doctor's voice, a little hoarse, but still moving, with a sense of majesty that Xia Wan never had before. However, she secretly complained in her heart, wondering if she should obediently lift the quilt to show the doctor her feet The wounds on his body should still be ignored as if he hadn't heard anything.

Now contacting the doctor is the most dangerous situation. Although she doesn't know what the wicked god showed them, there is no doubt that the doctor who walked closest to her has the deepest sense of betrayal.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Wan finally chose a compromise solution, raised her head and said to the doctor with emotion: "... Over the past year, you have also become like a real leader."

Of course, this would cause the doctor's displeasure, and she knew very well that the doctor didn't like being... treated as a child by anyone other than her former self.

Blindly being weak and bowing will only make things worse, and proper toughness and persistence can make people understand that she also has her own unshakable position.

Sure enough, after she said this, she seemed to be able to hear a slight click of the tongue from the doctor: "Don't talk to me in this tone, this is not you."

"Then, what is me, doctor? I admit that before...that kind of practice was indeed to win your favor, but why must all of me like that be fake? If the previous me is reversed Come here, what do I have left now?"

"That's the kind of thing you should ask yourself!"

The doctor responded angrily, and suddenly tore off the quilt that was tightly wrapped around her body.

Caught off guard, she even opened her eyes suddenly, and looked at the person she thought she knew best through the hazy gauze in astonishment: "Wait! Doctor? You can't—"

"To shut up!"

Under the quilt, she was still wearing her own operator attire, and now that she couldn't see, she couldn't change into more comfortable pajamas for herself, at most she took off her coat and took off the unnecessary clothes on her body. For accessories, only the more personal clothing is left.

Therefore, what appeared in front of the doctor was something she had never seen before. She curled up with blood-stained legs and looked messy.

To be honest, Xia Wan is still very confident about her body. Whether it's the attire, appearance or figure, they are all specially designed to seduce others, but this kind of unique advantage is obviously not a good thing now.

The doctor was a little tough, and even rudely ignored her wishes. He stretched out his hand and pulled her injured foot over, carefully inspecting the wound on the sole of the foot.

After realizing this, Xia Wan just felt a little relieved when the tingling sensation brought about by the cold liquid medicine touching the wound made her let out a slight groan.

She is no stranger to pain.

Rhodes Island is not a charitable organization. I don’t know how many battles Xia Wan has experienced in this year, and I don’t know how many times in order to improve myself as a doctor, a player character, and other operators. The weight in my heart was intentionally hurt, but every time I got hurt, even if I was tossing and turning in pain on the bed when I was alone, I would not show the slightest unbearable appearance in front of other people.

A tough character requires not only setting, but also long-term maintenance.

Maybe a series of bad things happened one after another, she was finally at ease because of this little thing, she neglected her own setting, and this almost imperceptible groan made the doctor's movements a little softer invisibly .

But the good times didn't last long.

The wound on her foot was not that big, and the process of applying medicine was over soon.

The doctor let go of his hand, and watched Xia Wan slowly curl up his legs again in order not to touch the wound. Maybe it was the resurgence of the flame that had been nearly extinguished in his heart, or maybe it was just for testing, he suddenly raised his hand Touched her cheek.

"PhD--?"

His fingertips brushed across her cheeks, Xia Wan was startled, but the doctor didn't answer, he just stroked gently, and used his other hand to brush away her bangs hanging in front of her eyes.

It's like... for the past year.

Xia Wan hid the trembling in her heart and silently endured this intimate contact.

Then the doctor withdrew his hand.

For the first time, the first time after the great change, she asked in her slightly hoarse voice.

"Are we, those promises we made, those promises, all false? Are they all... lying to me?"
