Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

There is someone inside, presumably a woman.

Are you a doctor?

The meaning in ace's eyes is almost too obvious to require words.

Scout hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

uncertain.

Maybe, maybe not.

The traces left behind were not 100% consistent with those left by the doctor he had seen before, from a personal perspective. There was a big difference, and if one had to say, there was only one

Half right.

but.....

Click.

Aces raised their shields. As elite operators, they knew they should remain alert in the current situation, especially when they were not sure whether it was the doctor.

Even though... apart from the Doctor, there are almost no people who know about this safe house.

Even they only knew about the existence of such a place after Dr. Kal'tsit told them the address.

Scout loaded his gun, then tacitly hid in the shadow in front of Ace, in a blind spot.

"Three....two...break."

As he whispered, Ace raised his shield and broke through the door!

boom! !

At this moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. However, Ace and Scout just stopped where they were and looked around. Suddenly, they found a person sitting quietly in front of a table in an inconspicuous corner. There was a...paper bag?

Oh, no, it should be a woman with a fast food paper bag on her head?

However, just by looking at each other's backs, they were almost certain of one thing.

She is a doctor!

"Doc! We're here to save you!"

......

...

"Alas!!"

The doctor under the paper bag suddenly began to sweat profusely.

'Calm down, Doctor, they are one of us.'

'Also, don't raise your hands above your head. The Gallic salute is outdated.'

"Oh my god! These two guys look like they're not easy to deal with! Did you hear how they broke into the door just now?!"

"Are they our own people? Why do I feel like they are here to arrest me?!"

"....Well, you can understand it that way?"

"What?!!"

"But don't worry, I'm here, you can just say whatever I say later."

ace looked at the figure in front of him, and suddenly he was filled with a sense of oppression the next moment.

I saw the other party slowly turn around, stretch out his hand, and speak in a low voice.

"Where's the terminal?"

"I hope Kal'tsit still remembers what she should do."

Her voice was hoarse and cold, like a machine that had been running for a long time.

Chapter 84: What? Rhodes Island, haha, I'm not going (Part 2)

"Doctor, this is—"

Ace handed her a terminal screen that was only slightly larger than his palm, but before he could explain, the former took the lead in replying.

"Preliminary RodesIsland Terminal System."

"Primary Rhode Island Terminal System, abbreviated as PRTs. Thanks for the reminder, but I don't know how to use this thing."

The man looked at the paper bag lady in front of him with some surprise. You know, Rhodes Island's system had undergone a major overhaul by engineer Kluchil. Except for the basic system framework, there was almost no similarity between it and the original system.

In theory, the doctor should not know...

No, in theory.

Thinking of this, Ace turned back unconsciously and glanced at Scout beside him.

This is Dr.

Don't make assumptions.

Dr. Kal'tsit said that in this world...the doctor knows everything.

However, what they didn't know was that the doctor, who seemed indifferent and calm at the moment, relied on the paper bag on his head to cover up the nervous expressions on his face.

"Ahhhh, how do I use this thing? What do you mean I don't need them to remind me? I don't know how to use it!"

"Come on, stop arguing and be quiet. Don't let them see that you are so flustered."

'First, if I'm not mistaken, the flashing rectangle in the middle of the screen is the biometric verification. Put your finger on it... Use your left index finger.'

"Your tone sounds a bit uncertain..."

The doctor asked the evil spirit in his heart with some doubt, but he didn't expect the latter to be so straightforward without any pretense and spoke frankly.

"Of course, none of this stuff was finished before I was stuffed into that sarcophagus. The system I was using was a test version codenamed Babel."

.....

Damn.

However, to the doctor's surprise, the moment she touched the center of the screen with her left index finger, the picture began to flip rapidly, and a cold female voice sounded, and the system was fully activated.

[Biometric authentication passed.]

[Confirming authority level... Authority level eight.]

[.....Infrastructure module is being linked, communication module is restarting, Rhodes Island's full ship self-check is starting, data is being updated.]

[.....Welcome back, Doctor.]

In the picture, a huge ship with an internal structure like a whale bone was disassembled into different blocks, and various parameters and states were disassembled and displayed in great detail in front of the doctor.

And far beyond the wilderness of Victoria.

At the same moment, all systems of the giant land ship named "Rhode Island" were frozen at that moment.

Kal'tsit stood on the deck of the ship, looking at the huge structure in front of her, full of industrial and metallic beauty, which stopped operating at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, one after another warning lights and lighting went out.

Soon, the noise in my ears

Hearing the noise, she turned around and saw the blood demon engineer named Klushier running towards her in a panic, shouting as he ran.

"No, it's bad! Doctor Kal'tsit! The system, the ship's system has been shut down for no apparent reason! The setting parameters of the infrastructure lathe and other equipment have not been adjusted yet, and this will delay us for a long time... Wait, why are all the lights on the deck out..."

However, before she could continue to ask her questions, the lights on the bridge that had been off suddenly lit up again.

Soon, the lit area spread rapidly like ripples in the water, and restarted without anyone knowing why.

It's almost as if...it's heralding the arrival of something.

"Hey...wait a minute! What's wrong with the infrastructure parameters...it was disconnected for no apparent reason just now, why is it showing as operational right after it's turned on? Is there a system bug?!!"

Klushier exclaimed, holding up the terminal in her hand.

However, Kal'tsit did watch everything in front of her silently, and then spoke up to answer the former's doubts.

"It's not a bug, it's just that she's back."

"she?"

Kelucil was stunned.

"Wait! Her? No way...then the parameter adjustment of infrastructure..."

"Don't worry about it. Since it's because of her actions, it's the best situation."

Kal'tsit took a deep breath and then walked straight to the main control room.

She knew that the other party was also waiting for her at this moment...

It made such a big noise upon contact, it was as if announcing the return of the owner of this ship... Doctor... have you changed your mind again?

----------------

"Damn, did I click on something again?!"

[risk detected]

[Infrastructure complete.]

"Damn it! Why can't I cut it out? Must I click all these parameters and builds before I can exit?!"

'Well, it wouldn't be like this if you didn't order it randomly.'

"Shut up! My hands were only shaking for a moment. Aren't you nervous when two heavily armed men stare at you with such expectant looks?"

'Don't be nervous.'

"Damn it - huh, damn it, I finally finished clicking, what kind of shitty tutorial is this? I won't let you pass unless you do all the steps... "

However, before the doctor could finish his complaints, the terminal that had just returned to the main page was suddenly covered by a red communication request.

"....communication?"

'Are you here? Come on, Doctor, this is what we are here for.'

Following the evil spirit's instructions, the doctor placed the terminal on the table and then leaned back in his chair.

Communication is connected.

Soon, a green film with a cold expression appeared on the screen.

"Good morning, Kal'tsit. Glad to see you're still so energetic."

The doctor's voice came through the screen, and even through a paper bag, his face could appear in Kal'tsit's mind again.

[....Nice to see you again, Doctor.]

At this moment, Kal'tsit was sitting upright in her chair, like an obedient student.

"It seems that Rhodes Island can already start preliminary operations?"

[For now, yes.]

"Very good. Next, I have something for you to solve. I suggest you learn more about the Rocken water tank in Columbia and what they were experimenting on behind the scenes. If nothing goes wrong, I hope Rhodes Island will accept the survivors of that experiment."

"Also, regarding the output of Originium inhibitors, the infrastructure has been adjusted to the best state. In addition to the necessary operations, I need a batch of assembly lines to produce inhibitors. In a few days, I will draw up a detailed production and operation process for you. Just follow it."

[A few days later? Doctor, what do you mean? ! !]

Kal'tsit was stunned for a moment, then she stood up, looked at the figure on the screen and shouted.

"Kelsey."

However, her exclamation did not cause the other party to change his tone. The doctor continued to sit on the sofa, as cold as a statue.

[Sorry... Doctor, don't you plan to return to Rhode Island...?]

She looked up and asked the doctor, trying to make her tone serious.

But after listening to him, the doctor just raised his head slightly, and the pupils in the paper bag suddenly became as deep as a bottomless abyss.

"I'm informing you, Kal'tsit, not asking for your opinion."

"You should know that instructions are meant to be executed, not discussed or refuted."

[.....I'm sorry, Doctor...I understand.]

[But your safety——]
