Book 4: Chapter 29: Outside the Chessboard

Rhodes Island’s group moved around hurriedly. Since its members wore the same uniform, they stood out. However, their tidy clothes and equipment made a formidable impression, so they encountered little obstruction.

Furthermore, Rhodes Island’s group moved quickly and managed to evade Ursus’s military police.

Of the 20-odd people in the group, 70 percent were Infected. If they were checked, they couldn’t avoid a conflict with Ursus’s military police. After all, Chernobog was managed by Ursus, a nation famous for its strictness and oppression of the Infected.

Dobermann chatted with Amiya as they ran. “Although Kal’tsit said there would be a commotion, things have been calm so far. I wonder where she got her information from?”

All the Rhodes Island operators were very fit; even the other Medic apart from Shining and Nightingale was pretty fit.

Of course, this did not include Nightingale. Although she had consumed Chen Heng’s medicinal pill, it was impossible for her to recover completely before the operation, so Chen Heng transported her; he could spatial jump, after all.

As the operators ran in front, Chen Heng walked with Nightingale slowly while holding her sleeve. When the distance they trailed grew large, he would catch up with a spatial jump.

Don’t ask why they weren’t holding hands. The Trust value was still insufficient. If the Trust value reached 200 not to mention holding hands, they could even do...that.

[TL Note: Operator Trust gives additional attributes, and it ranges from 0 to 200 You can read more about Trust here: /wiki/Trust.]

“Should we send a warning to the Ursus army?” What a naive little donkey! To think she could say such things.

“Stop joking. Putting aside whether the Ursus army would trust us, the Ursus military police will arrest us on sight just because we are Infected. If that happens, you can forget about saving Doctor.”

The journey is quite boring, so I won’t go into detail here.

Amiya led Rhodes Island’s group to the core area, where the surrounding buildings were taller.

Soon, the group arrived at a relatively dilapidated laboratory. It looked like a certain biological research company, standing out from the many tall buildings.

[TL Note: I’m unsure of which biological research company this refers to. Feel free to reach out to me if you can figure it out.]

Despite this laboratory’s rundown facade, it was still sturdy. Initially, Chen Heng planned on forcefully breaking in, but Amiya produced a card from her pocket.

[TL Note: The stone coffin is an artifact known as the Sarcophagus. You can read more about it here: /wiki/Chernobog#The_Sarcophagus.]

Furthermore, even when resuscitating Doctor, they did not take off Doctor’s hat. Poor evaluation.

Chen Heng took a glance from a distance and could only see Doctor’s head. However, the Medics did not even remove Doctor’s hat; what could he see?

It’s not like Doctor is a beautiful girl. Why look at him?

Since I cannot understand what’s going on, I might as well focus on something else.

Kal’tsit, are you there?

Kal’tsit: I am.

After analyzing Arknights’s story, I can tell you are laying out a large chessboard [plan]. Do you need my help?

After playing the main story and looking at the opinions of genius players on the players’ forums, he noticed Kal’tsit had been laying a major plan.

Alright, it was mostly because of those genius players.

Kal’tsit: Did you read those nonsensical analyses of the players? I will tell you when I need you. There are many people on the chessboard, and the players have the necessary pieces. You are the kind of piece that could flip the chessboard and punch the player.

Thank you for your praise.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Chen Heng, you misunderstand Kal’tsit. Kal’tsit means you are an extremely unstable factor. Do you not understand the etiquette of not saying anything while watching a chess game? Right now, the situation on the chessboard is going pretty well for Kal’tsit. Once you stir it up, who knows? Furthermore, you will leave after changing things. What about Kal’tsit then?

Queen of Ice and Snow: That is to say, Kal’tsit hopes not to make use of you, a person who is not on the chessboard. Right now, maintaining a stalemate is good.

Kal’tsit: ...

Erm...Kal’tsit, refute them, at least!

Kal’tsit: I can’t refute them.
