He's Already Made a Guess / You, Eastland Operator, Wouldn't Want...

"How did you...?"

Skullshatterer replied, "That Safra just now unintentionally helped us a little."

It turned out that Ethan had "accidentally" stopped Mephisto from moving. And since Skullshatterer recovered a little faster, he was able to seize the opportunity and knock Mephisto unconscious.

"That brat!" The Crownslayer finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Why wasn't it him who had his lung punctured just now!? Is fate really that kind of favoritism towards him!?"

Oute tilted his head guiltily.

Written request for leave

These past few days of teaching have been exhausting; I just want to collapse as soon as I get home. I'm so sorry, but my brain simply doesn't have the energy to produce any more articles right now. I need to take a day off...

Chapter 147 He Had Already Made a Guess

December 28, 1096, late at night.

Invisible laser light travels a great distance, reflects off a glass window, and is captured by a drone.

Due to the position of the glass window, Oute couldn't make out all the conversations, but it was enough.

"... The Lungmen Guard Department has successfully apprehended a Reunion Movement cadre who infiltrated the slums..."

"... The refugees who were taken hostage by the Sarkaz mercenaries have been entrusted to Rhodes Island for resettlement..."

"... Furthermore, the captured Sarkaz claim they were hired by the Reunion Movement. Lungmen still has no direct evidence of Ursus's involvement..."

Ch'en stood with her hands behind her back, head held high and chest out.

"Thanks to Rhodes Island's timely intervention, the wounded military and Lungmen Guard Department personnel received immediate treatment, and there are currently no cases of Oripathy infection."

"Above."

She summarized for Wei Yenwu Wei Yenwu some information that he already knew through other channels.

"Rhodes Island's medical technology... is really quite good," Wei Yenwu said thoughtfully.

Wei Yenwu turned his pipe upside down and tapped it a few times on the ashtray. The burnt-out tobacco fell from the bowl, a few Mars flickering among the grayish-white tobacco before disappearing.

He suddenly said, "Wen Yue has sent Shirayuki to Rhodes Island."

Madam Wen Yue was a princess of the East Country, which was modeled after East Country and was known for its samurai and ninjas. Shirayuki, in a sense, was a ninja who served Lady Wen Yue.

In the original game, she was a magic-damage AoE sniper operator with an extremely long attack range after activating her skill. In the story, she appeared multiple times, serving as an amateur messenger between Lungmen and Ch'en.

In her secret records, Shirayuki began her habitual intelligence gathering work shortly after boarding the ship. In this timeline, given Wei Yenwu's blatant hints, there is a high probability that she will take swift action.

Ch'en frowned and said, "Sending spies to them is not only pointless, but also..."

And it could affect future cooperation.

But before Ch'en could finish speaking, Wei Yenwu interrupted her, "No, no, no, what she meant... in short, it wasn't that kind of thing to send over."

So what do you mean?

Ch'en had no way out.

"Wen Yue just thinks Rhodes Island has a great atmosphere and hopes that Shirayuki can..." Wei Yenwu pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "... experience life outside of being a ninja?"

Regardless of the final outcome, it was impossible for Shirayuki to genuinely experience "life outside of being a ninja" from the very beginning.

She is her, and you are you. You still want her to steal some information, right?

Oute had anticipated this and had already prepared a special package for Shirayuki.

Ch'en raised an eyebrow, but still stood ramrod straight, and said, "Commander Wei, no matter what, once this is discovered, a rift will appear."

"So what?" Wei Yenwu said to Ch'en, "That was Wei Yenwu's reckless behavior, while Ch'en was arguing on the basis of reason, wasn't it?"

The premise for this statement is... Wei Yenwu's resignation—politically or physically.

Politically, Wei Yenwu's resignation is somewhat possible, but probably not.

Old Chen's eyes widened; she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She slammed her hand on Wei Yenwu's desk and snapped, "Are you still thinking about that kind of thing?!"

That kind of thing refers to Wei Yenwu's persistent desire to "achieve both public and private goals."

Wei Yenwu, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed. He Ignition his pipe and puffed on the tobacco until it turned red.

As a plume of White Dragon smoke billowed from his mouth and nose, Wei Yenwu said, "Better safe than sorry."

Were you prepared?

Ch'en was somewhat annoyed.

"Wei Yenwu! Even if you die alongside that Boris who doesn't even exist, the chances of stopping the war are extremely slim!"

The dragon, dressed in his robes, said with his eyes half-closed, "I know."

"But for the sake of the nation and its people..."

He emptied the bowl again, slowly poured in more tobacco, and was about to say something when Ch'en grabbed his wrist.

The Dragon Girl frowned: If you were truly calm, would you be so flamboyant with tobacco like this?

"Wait a minute! What are you hiding from me?!"

The tobacco shreds scattered across the tabletop, resembling a landship navigating the wilderness.

On the desolate plains, the Rhodes Island flagship.

Shirayuki navigates the intricate network of pipes in the Rhodes Island residential area.

The noise from the land-based ship's slow-propelled advance effectively masked the movement of its crew—when the ship was operating at full capacity, the crew even needed to wear noise-canceling headphones.

She peered through the pipes at the living quarters, using her ninja skills and experience to overhear snippets of conversation.

"Why are we setting off again... We just docked..."

"I heard... it was the Doctor's order..."

PRTS silently monitored Shirayuki's movements and guided her to Oute's location by pre-switching the pipe fans.

People like Wei Yenwu all have the same flaw: they only trust information gathered by their own people.

Considering that Shirayuki was almost climbing from the living area to the medical area, Oute switched the PRTS terminal page to command mode.

There was originally a high-risk ward prepared for Specter. Although it has repeatedly demonstrated that it has almost no ability to suppress a cyborg warrior like Abyssal Hunters with maxed-out physical abilities, Oute still has some performance work to do here.

"You're a little late." Kal'tsit crossed her arms, her little leather shoes tapping slightly on the ground.

She was still wearing the same women's suit that Oute liked, only she had changed the jacket into a white lab coat.

PRTS reminded Oute through his earpiece that Shirayuki was almost there.

How is Specter doing?

The entire medical area has been specially treated to reduce the noise from Rhodes Island vehicles, so Shirayuki can hear their conversations clearly without doing anything.

"Her mental state has improved dramatically," Kal'tsit said. "If this continues, she will stabilize."

Upon seeing Oute, she relaxed her arms and put them into the pockets of her white coat.

Oute nodded, then "naturally" took Kal'tsit's arm and said, "Speaking of which, Mephisto's mental state seems somewhat similar to Specter's."

Kal'tsit, who was still shyly and symbolically trying to break free from Oute, immediately retorted irritably upon hearing this outrageous statement, "If this is the standard for similarity, then Specter and you are probably quite similar as well."

Without realizing it, she forgot to pull her hand away from Oute's.

It was probably unintentional?

What do you mean?

You all breathe.

"But aren't their mental states quite similar?" Oute asked intentionally.

Feeling Oute flirtatiously tickling her palm, Kal'tsit was somewhat confused, but quickly became alert: Oute must be hinting at something to her!

Soon, with a keen eye, she also noticed the Shirayuki in the pipe.

"Based on the data, it's highly likely that Mephisto's mental state was affected by Originium Arts," she said.

Chapter 148 This East Country Agent, you didn't want this either...

Is it possible that Oute wants to tell you something and you can do so directly through the headset?

Is he really flirting right now?

Kal'tsit's feelings weren't as calm as she appeared—she ultimately accepted Oute's intimacy with a clear conscience, believing that "Oute was giving her a hint."

The fact that someone can so easily steal the male owner will likely cause psychological trauma to the maid/catgirl.

As for Hamlet?

Can... can that be taken seriously!?

Kal'tsit bit her lip lightly, subtly twisting her slender arm.

Why does it feel like this kind of mental activity also occurred in Oute?

While still trying to compose herself, Kal'tsit suddenly heard Oute's outrageous remarks, and she replied irritably, "If that's the standard for similarity, then Specter and you are probably quite similar too."

After being interrupted by Oute's outburst, the image of Priestess flashed through her mind. Kal'tsit no longer tried to pull Oute's arm out of her grasp.

Shirayuki silently recorded this scene. "The head of Rhodes Island's Medical Department and its commander are clearly having an affair."

Aside from this gossip, Shirayuki also compiled the information subtly revealed in their conversation.

Presumably, in the near future, Wei Yenwu will verify that intelligence again from Shirayuki: Mephisto, a cadre of the Reunion Movement, has clearly been affected by Originium Arts.

At that time, he will have ample reason to convince himself.

Oute heard PRTS's reminder through his headset, and as if suddenly remembering something, he said to Kal'tsit, "Since Specter is in such good condition, shall we go to the Engineering Department together?"

At some point, Kal'tsit had started to hold Oute's five fingers.

"Um?"
