Poseidon in Arknights

As for the other departments, their funding was almost completely cut to the bare minimum. Even so, Rhodes Island's finances were in a huge deficit.

Otherwise, some large families, envious of Rhodes Island's superior treatment technology for Oripathy patients compared to other companies, pay exorbitant care fees when sending their children there for treatment.

And Rhodes Island has a special black technology that can produce pure gold almost without damage to cover expenses, so the company went bankrupt long ago.

ACE slapped his forehead and looked up at the empty ceiling: "Ah...maybe that's true."

"Then let's set off. Croissant, be careful. Officer Chen's blood pressure has finally gotten a little lower these past few days, so let's not raise it again."

Croissant saluted Yuzuki: "Understood, Yuzuki, nothing will happen!"

"To be honest, Yuuki, I have a bad feeling about what you're doing by giving me these orders." Exusiai leaned out of the car window. "In layman's terms, wouldn't you call this a flag?"

"Who sets so many flags every day?" Without turning her head, Yuuki reached out and tapped Exusiai on the head. "Anyway, don't cause any trouble, just take some normal jobs."

"A normal order?" Croissant thought for a moment, then looked down at the Emperor beside her: "Boss, do we have that kind of thing?"

“Theoretically speaking, we do have them.” The Emperor pushed up his glasses. “But you should be more careful lately. I’ll have Is look for them for you later.”

“I’m looking at it now.” Is scrolling up and down on the tablet. “There are some fairly normal requests. If you’re interested, Croissant, you can take on these requests when you return to Lungmen.”

“Theoretically speaking…” Yuzuki sighed, “this kind of statement is really worrying.”

"Otherwise, how do you think we got our reputation?" Exusiai's tone revealed a sense of pride rather than shame. "This is how Penguin Logistics does it... um!"

Yuuzuki sighed, then turned and smeared a snowball on Exusiai's face: "Please don't be proud of this. If I remember correctly, I heard that Officer Chen specially made a record of the troublesome incidents of Penguin Logistics for us."

"There's such a thing?" Exusiai brushed the snow off her face. "I'll see if I can ask Officer Chen for a copy later, as a memento."

"..." After a moment of silence, Yuuki looked at Texas sitting in the driver's seat, "For some reason, I have an urge to hit her?"

Sitting in the back seat, Red glanced at Yuuzuki and then at Exusiai, who was grinning from ear to ear. She raised her hand and tapped Exusiai on the head.

"Ouch!" Exusiai turned to look at Red, who calmly withdrew her hand. "Why did you hit me?"

"That's what Mom said."

"Yuzuki only said she had the urge, but she didn't actually do it." Exusiai scratched her head.

"Maybe Red thinks it's already pretty impressive that you could provoke Yuuki to the point of wanting to hit you?" Texas glanced at Exusiai, who was scratching her head, through the rearview mirror.

"What's the point of this?"

Croissant thought for a moment and said, "I think he might deserve a beating."

Exusiai looked at Croissant with a mischievous grin and said, "I think Croissant is pretty deserving of a beating for what you're saying."

"Alright, stop fooling around." Yuuki patted Exusiai's head, turned around and got into the passenger seat. "Let's go."

——————Rhodes Island——————

"Ugh, it's even colder in Ursus than where we are." Exusiai jumped out of the car, and a gust of cold wind blew by, making her rub her hands.

Although they had already changed into their winter work clothes, the cold climate in Ursus was still much colder than in Lungmen.

Texas locked the car and casually replied, "Just put on some thicker clothes, won't you?"

“That makes sense.” Exusiai nodded, then turned to Yuuki, holding out her hands. “Yuuki, where are my clothes?”

Yuuki pulled a thick set of clothes out of her trench coat and handed it to Exusiai: "I still think you guys are using me as a storage room. Is this how you're supposed to use my clothes?"

"So it wasn't like that before?" Exusiai chuckled as she took the clothes and put them on. "It's a shame not to use such convenient Originium Arts to store something."

"Alright, Exusiai, let's go listen to the details of Rhodes Island's request." Texas patted Exusiai on the back, then turned to Yuuki, "Yuuki, what about you? Are you coming with us first, or going to see your patient?"

"I'm just a doctor, you can tell me when the time comes." Xi Yue smiled and tugged at the strap of her medical kit. "As for me, I'll go check on my patient's recovery."

"Then, Hong, you?" Texas nodded, and was about to turn around and ask Hong whether she was with Yuu-tsuki or with them when she realized that Hong was no longer with them.

When Texas turned to look at Yuuki again, she found that Kurenai had already jumped onto Yuuki's back.

—————Rhodes Island Medical Center—————

"I should have called Skadi beforehand." Yuuki walked down the corridor of the medical department. She wasn't so much forgetting the way, but she remembered that she needed an authentication card to open Specter's ward.

Hong leaned her head against Xiyue's back and whispered in her ear, "Mom should be able to get it now, right?"

"That's true. Hopefully she can answer the phone now." Yu Yue took out her phone from her pocket and dialed Skadi's number.

Beep~~~

The call was quickly answered, and Skadi's voice came through: "Hello, is this Yuuki? Hey, Shark, why did you grab my phone?"

There seemed to be a slight noise coming from the other end of the phone, but a moment later it seemed that Ghost Shark had snatched the phone.

"Great Lord, what are your commands?"

'Does this title mean I've reverted to being called a nun?' Yu Yue sighed. It seems her healing process still has a long way to go.

"Don't get so excited, Ghost Shark."

Chapter 73: Unprovoked Hatred

Inside Ghost Shark's hospital room, the two of them were jumping around in the room, but thankfully they both knew their limits and didn't completely destroy the room.

"Shark, give my phone back!" Skadi said angrily, looking at the ghost shark leaping around in front of her.

But Specter ignored Skadi and excitedly said into the phone, "Okay, great Lord."

Then Specter stopped and returned the phone to Skadi.

Skadi stopped the car in time, picked up the phone with a puzzled look, but didn't think much of it. The phone spoke up: "Yuzuki, you were able to get through, which means you're in or near Rhodes Island?"

"Yes, I'm in the medical department." Yuzuki's voice came from the other end of the phone. "You're in Specter's ward right now, right? Come pick me up."

Skadi nodded immediately, and after the call ended, she went out and locked Specter inside.

However, Ghost Shark didn't say anything at this moment. He just knelt down calmly, put his hands together, and prayed for something.

Skadi had just stepped outside when she saw Yuzuki carrying Red walking towards her, so she straightened her clothes slightly, which had been disheveled from jumping around earlier.

Good afternoon, Yuzuki.

Yuuki smiled as Skadi approached, then reached out and touched her head: "Good afternoon."

"Mmm." Skadi nuzzled Yuuki's hand. "Yuuki, what brings you here this time?"

"Firstly, I came back to continue treatment, and secondly, I just happened to receive a request." Yuzuki scratched her head and explained with a smile, "Ghost Shark's condition has worsened again?"

At this moment, Hong jumped off Xiyue's back, because she knew that her mother had started working and she shouldn't disturb her.

Skadi nodded: "Two days after you left, Specter became confused and then returned to her nun-like state after one night."

"I understand." Xi Yue nodded. Mental health issues are a very serious matter, and the system does have some things that can help treat mental health problems.

However, if you're looking for something that can be cured directly, you won't find a single one in the system.

All of these require Xi Yue to either mix, refine, or personally handle them in the spiritual world. There's no way she can directly cure them with medicine or anything like that; such things don't exist.

Speaking of which, the items or spells in the system that allow him to enter other people's mental worlds to help with healing are ridiculously expensive compared to the methods for making some potions.

If we had to point out the difference in effects, the gap was ridiculously large. Xi Yue had wondered why, but the system, as always, did not answer her question.

The only time the system responded to her was shortly after she was kidnapped by bandits, when the system automatically entered an update state.

"Let's finish today's treatment first." Yu Yue scratched her head. "I'll think of a way to deal with that personality later."

-----------

"Finally sorted out. That doctor really beat around the bush." ​​Exusiai stretched. "But no wonder he emphasized covert rescue, going all the way to the energy core of someone's mobile city to save someone."

Texas, with a Pocky cookie in her mouth, nodded: "Okay, let's do our job. Now that the customer has paid, we just need to complete the request. Alright, let's go to the medical department to find Yuuki."

“That makes sense~” Exusiai stretched. “As for the medical department, I remember it’s this way.”

In the conference room where the two had just left

Kal'tsit picked up her coffee from the table and took a sip: "Amiya, how's the situation in Chernobog?"

“Still in the same place.” Amiya walked forward, wiggling her rabbit ears. “Something seems a little off.”

“The Reunion Movement…” Kal'tsit sighed, “Things have definitely gotten complicated.”

Kroos, standing to the side, shook the tablet in her hand and said, "Furthermore, PRTS has also discovered that the surrounding Originium dust has begun to enter an activated state."

"Is it a natural disaster?" Amiya turned to look at Kroos. "But why hasn't Chernobog entered the movement yet?"

Kroos shrugged: "Who knows why? Maybe it's because of the Reunion Movement's riots, but logically speaking, it's just a riot. Given the combat capabilities of the Ursus military and police, it should have stopped long ago."

“The Reunion Movement’s uprising, an impending natural disaster.” Kal’tsit turned her head and looked through the conference room glass at the distant wasteland. “This is a troublesome situation.”

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

"Your recovery is going well." Xi Yue pulled her hand, which had turned golden, out of her hand, and looked at it with displeasure.

With a flick of her wrist, the water droplet containing the golden solution flew from her palm, froze in mid-air, and was caught by Xi Yue.

“This time I removed more material, and the recovery area is larger than before. You may need more time to recover this time.”

Ghost Shark leaned weakly against Yuuki's chest: "Thank you, great Lord."

"Okay, okay~" Yuuki patted Ghost Shark's head, took it off her body, and let it lie on the bed next to her.

"You will need to rest for a while, and I will then assess your recovery and determine if further treatment is necessary."

"I will follow your instructions."

Yuuki looked at Specter with a headache. Although Specter seemed dazed and confused in her nun-like state, she was at least obedient enough. It was just that the way she addressed her was giving her a headache.

Yuuki stood up, straightened her trench coat, and looked at Skadi beside her: "From now on, I'll trouble Skadi to take care of Specter."

"Oh." Skadi nodded sheepishly, then looked at Yuuki who was getting up and walking towards the door before asking, "Yuuki, are you leaving?"

“I still have my own requests,” Yuzuki waved her hand. “Besides, I’m also quite annoyed by that city.”

"Feeling annoyed?" Skadi tilted her head; it was the first time she had heard Yuuki use that description.

“Yes, it’s frustrating.” Yuzuki nodded and turned to look in the distance, in the direction of Chernobog.

"The anger, ignited wantonly, is fueled by hatred." Xi Yue stared at the wall where there were no windows, "but it's hard to say which side is right and which side is wrong?"

“But…” Xi Yue withdrew her gaze, “Such an extreme approach will not allow such flames to spread far.”

“But such flames often have astonishing destructive power.” The door was pushed open, and Kal'tsit walked in from outside, looking at Yuu-yue. “Moreover, Ursus’ persecution of the infected is particularly severe, and such a situation may have happened sooner or later.”

“Yes, it was bound to happen sooner or later…” Yuzuki nodded. “Someone wanted to take advantage of this fire and set it ablaze ahead of time.”
