Book 4: Chapter 1: Chen Heng’s Incompatible Style

Book 04: Arknights Arc

Eight o’clock in the evening in Arknights’s world, Kal’tsit’s office:

“Kal’tsit, what do you need me to do?” Chen Heng sat on a chair, asking Kal’tsit what she required his help with.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

“How long will you stay on Rhodes Island?” Kal’tsit did not raise her head, busy with some documents.

“About ten days. I adjusted the difference in time flow between our worlds. The free adjustment allows for a one-to-five ratio adjustment at most. That means I will return to my world after two or three days. Of course, I can stay longer if you still need my help.”

Besides letting Luo Li and Mo Qingtong calm down, Chen Heng came to this world to give himself time to prepare, so the longer, the better. Right now, he did not know how to face them.

If Chen Heng had truly re:lived, it would be fine. However, he had only seen the future, not lived it.

The two differed. If he had re:lived, he would have truly experienced those things and helped Luo Li. However, Precognition differed from re:life. Precognition only allowed him to see those events, but he had not truly experienced them.

Chen Heng felt if he truly accepted it, it would let Luo Li down.

Experience was experience, and observing was observing. The two could not be mistaken for each other.

Chen Heng decided to clarify things with Luo Li when he returned. As for the final decision, that would depend on her. As for now, he would just continue being lazy.

“Go to Rhodes Island’s office and submit a resume tomorrow. It just so happens you can help me out here. As for today, I will get someone to bring you to an empty dormitory room to spend the night; we will make further arrangements tomorrow. Is that fine?”

“That’s good. I can find something to do, then. If I have to stay here with nothing to do for ten days or so, I’ll be bored out of my mind.”

“Rest here first. I already called someone. That person will arrive soon.”

“I’m feeling curious about the ears on your head.” Chen Heng could no longer help his curiosity. His eyes had not shifted from those ears since he noticed them. Fortunately, Kal’tsit had not raised her head; it would be awkward if their eyes met.

“It’s normal. There are likely no pure humans left in our world. Or at least I have never met one. Whether they exist is questionable. The races of Terra more or less have some animal characteristics. I recommend you play the game Arknights. This game tells the story of our world.” The pile of documents by Kal’tsit’s side was half a meter tall, and these were the ones she had not dealt with yet.

“By the way, He Who Knows Fate, what abilities do you have? That will allow me to figure out what kind of operator you would be. Tell me one by one; also, tell me what their strongest effect is.”

“Alright. First is my base ability, attraction. If I put in effort, I should be able to pull the moon down. Of course, that would take some time.”

[Author Note: I’m unsure if Terra has a moon, but it probably does.]

“Amiya, you are here. This is my friend; his name is...his code name is He Who Knows Fate.” As Kal’tsit introduced Chen Heng, she suddenly realized she did not know his true name. After all, no one else used their true name in the chat group like she did.

However, she did not get flustered, as many people in Rhodes Island—rather, Terra—used code names.

“How do you do, He Who Knows Fate.”

“How do you do, Amilu.”

[TL Note: Chen Heng changed the last character in Amiya’s Chinese name to donkey, which would be “lu” when transliterated.]

......

As such, Rhodes Island’s leader, Amiya, formally met He Who Knows Fate. However...

“Mister He Who Knows Fate, my name is Amiya.”

“Ah! Sorry. That’s right. May I ask if your ears are donkey ears?”

Chen Heng’s darned curiosity would get him killed sooner or later.

“Mister He Who Knows Fate, you are too much. I’m from the Cautus race.”

[TL Note: Cautuses are leporids, meaning with traits of rabbits and hares. You can read more about Cautuses here: /wiki/Cautus. However, Amiya is actually a chimera (the only known chimera), which might explain why Chen Heng was not sure about her ears.]

“Cautus?” Chen Heng did not understand what kind of race Cautuses were.

“That means rabbits.” Fortunately, Kal’tsit clarified Chen Heng’s doubts.

“By the way, Amiya, he is the person who provided the Oripathy medicine for you, the person from that association I mentioned. He is here to help you rescue Doctor.”
