Hello, Arknights

Chapter 276 On the Green

"The Shining has discovered that we are running away." When they ran to the football field of the athletic field, Nightingale, who was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed out by Ling Dengxian, said slowly when she saw that the Shining had run steadily.

"...Didn't she try to stop him?" Ling Dengxian looked back guiltily to make sure no one was catching up.

"The Lion Scorpion is here too." After confirming once again that no one was left behind, Ling Dengxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"White Dove, there is someone ahead..." The lion scorpion raised its tail vigilantly, and only put it down quietly after seeing who was coming.

"Oh, why are you here?" Ling Dengxian didn't look happy when he saw the person coming, and even wanted to hit him.

"Doctor... since when did your stealth ability become so strong?" The lion scorpion tilted its head, but then shook it, "No, I can detect it if I pay attention... How strange."

"Operator Scorpion, Operator Nightingale, do you remember me? We've met before - are you still angry? I was really too excited last time and forgot about you, but it's been so long, it's time to calm down, right?" Precious laughed and shook his hooded coat proudly. Seeing Ling's expression, he was helpless, "Really, if you are too stingy, girls won't like you."

"What if I stay here next time? Do you think your assistant is here to take the blame for you?!" Ling Dengxian rolled his eyes and pushed the wheelchair to leave.

"Hey, don't be so distant. At worst, I can take your place on the bridge next time you get into trouble." The doctor patted him on the shoulder. "The product of this laboratory explosion is pretty good. If you're really unhappy, I'll lend it to you to wear?"

"I'll forget it. Can it be applied on a large scale to the field department?" Ling Dengxian shook his head and looked at Precious's hooded coat. He vaguely guessed what the effect of the experimental results would be.

The doctor took off his hood and sighed, "It's a pity. Some of the materials are quite special and I really can't do it. And... Scorpio, how did you detect my approach?"

"...It feels very light and thin. You can't touch it unless you try to feel it." The scorpion's description is abstract, but understandable.

"That's right. I combined the new material with this piece of clothing. At present, the effect should be to reduce the sense of presence based on an unclear principle, but it will not block physical information. It will only reduce the priority of the wearer's information source in the information processing block of the observer's brain. The effect seems to be linked to biological energy..."

"Isn't this the same as you?" Ling Dengxian looked at the lion scorpion and couldn't help but say.

"Woo..."

"White dove, you are so rude," the nightingale accused.

“Ah, sorry Scorpio…” Ling Dengxian apologized immediately. The Manticore girl was rarely stared at by three pairs of eyes at the same time, so she felt a little embarrassed: “No, it’s okay… It’s time to gather…”

"Well, what are you guys going to do? Can you take me with you?"

"reject."

"Rejection is invalid!"

"By the way, doesn't Amiya know that the doctor escaped?"

"Don't use Amiya to pressure me, even though it's true!"

"So, Doctor, what are you so proud of..." Nightingale felt helpless after hearing this.

"Operator Nightingale, can you help me persuade White Dove? Tell him that operators who look reluctant but still help the doctor realize his ideas are the easiest to bully—"

"I'm still here!" Ling Dengxian was angry, and sighed deeply to adjust his mood. "But Doctor, if you really want to join us... isn't it a bit too much for you to play football with us?"

"Eh? Playing football?" The doctor retreated slightly. If she really wanted to compete with him in terms of physical fitness and strength, it would be very dangerous for her to be on the football field for safety reasons.

"Guarding the goal shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Where do you think the football is going? Even if guarding the goal is for entertainment, the most suitable candidate should be someone who can protect himself and does not need too much exercise." Ling Dengxian spread his hands.

"That's right. For example, I—" Nightingale nodded in agreement, and was immediately slapped on the forehead by Ling Dengxian:

"You can't take the medicine and not eat today!"

"Doctor, you are only suitable for the audience seats and the coaching seats." After teaching Nightingale a lesson, Ling Dengxian concluded.

"Nightingale, have you learned bad things from that guy White-faced Owl recently?"

"Really? What's broken?" Nightingale rubbed his forehead and his eyes widened a little.

"I just feel like you've changed your tone." Ling Dengxian couldn't help but sigh, "People get redder when they're around red people, and blacker when they're around black people."

“But Lin Guang and Shining both said that I was more influenced by you.” The Sarkaz girl said truthfully.

"...Impossible." Ling Dengxian denied it flatly.

"Alas, those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black." The doctor sighed with glee.

Ling Dengxian: "..."

After making a lot of noise all the way, the group finally arrived at the stadium, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone who had already arrived. Preparatory Action A6 and Action A4 had already arrived. It could be seen that Doberman's return to the island had little impact on the Preparatory Action A6 team for the time being, but the pressure was beginning to increase.

The doctor looked at the situation and said helplessly, "It really doesn't look like this is a situation I can get involved in... Then I'll go find a good spot first."

"Be careful later, don't get hit by the ball and end up in the infirmary." Ling Dengxian advised patiently.

"Thank you for your concern." The doctor waved his hand casually.

Spot tossed the football and kicked it to Blackhorn who was warming up: "It seems that Operator White Dove has a masochistic tendency. Should we remind him?"

"You didn't object last time." Black Horn stopped the ball on his chest and shook his head. "But as far as the result is concerned, it seems to be okay. Operator Nightingale is also very happy."

"So if we don't tell him, he will get sicker." Spotted said expressionlessly, "It's not a good thing to have one more moon on the island, right?"

"Spot, as your best friend, I'm very sad to hear you say that." The Sarkaz man at the side raised an objection, believing that he was not a masochist.

"I won't comment too much on this aspect. Zilan has the most say."

A whistle flew over and hit Spot on the head. Zilan's forehead was throbbing with veins: "Spot, you are the referee today. Suspended."

"...I was wrong, Captain Zilan. It would be a shame if we didn't participate in the competition held every two weeks." Bandian hurriedly made amends.

"At least you get off in the first half." Zilan threw her coat away, revealing a sports vest, and crossed the lawn to forcibly change for Bian. The white-haired Agor girl at the side smiled helplessly and kindly helped the captain of the reserve A6 team, who was trying to relieve work pressure, to fold his coat. Then she looked around the venue somewhat stiffly and greeted Mou Ling.

Ling Dengxian greeted Spot, who was walking towards him with a depressed look on his face: "Did you lose control and say something you shouldn't have said again? Spot..."

Ling Dengxian was still a little embarrassed about the title he was about to say. The ancients often made mistakes in judging age based on appearance. When he first came into contact with the preparatory action team, he found out through conversation that this person was actually younger than him, which was quite unbelievable.

"If it's really inappropriate, you can just call me Spot. There's no need to hold it up, otherwise it will break sooner or later." Ripoba shrugged, "But I did it on purpose. Sister Zilan has work later. If I don't play the first half, I'll probably miss it again this time."

"Is that so?" Ling Dengxian was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "You are thoughtful too."

Spot didn't respond, but just turned his face away without denying it.

Ling Dengxian looked back and found someone standing up from the wheelchair and trying to sneak towards the goal. He grabbed Nightingale with a dark face and said, "Come back. I didn't eat today. If Shining knew that you are still playing like this, I would be in big trouble."

"um, yes."

"Right, Shining... Miss Shining, why are you here..." Ling Dengxian shuddered and found that the white-haired and white-horned Sarkaz was sitting on a bench not far behind him and waving at him, and next to him was the smiling Doctor who looked gloating.

"I came to see Li... Nightingale. Oh, by the way, Operator White Dove, your sword fell in the medical department." Ling Dengxian raised his hand to catch the weapon thrown by the other party. Feeling the texture of the weapon in his hand, he subconsciously looked down and found that the sword at his waist had disappeared.

"When..." Ling Dengxian was a little horrified at the fact that his weapon was taken away without his knowledge.

Nightingale sat back in the wheelchair again and moved closer to Shining, showing no sign of guilt: "Shining, let me go. I can protect myself."

Shining did not reject it outright, but looked at Nightingale, sighed, and touched her forehead: "Do you have an idea?"

"Yes."

Shining thought for a moment and turned his gaze to Ling Dengxian: "Operator White Dove, I'll ask you to take care of Nightingale."

When Surtel, who was watching from the side, saw that something unexpected happened on Baige's side, he stopped approaching.

Everyone readily accepted the suggestion that one side should have two goalkeepers. After all, Bai Ge was responsible for pushing the wheelchair from behind, so there was no problem of expanding the blocking area.

Last time, Nightingale got out of her wheelchair and really stood up to finish the game. Ling Dengxian used Bai Yan to relax her muscles during the break.

"Ms. Nightingale...if the ball comes too hard, just run..."

The girl in front of him laughed, and at the same time, a whistle sounded in the center of the field. The two teams, Air Blast and Wendy, who were responsible for fighting for the ball respectively, acted at the same time, and the football flew into the air.

The girl's voice followed:

"Thank you, White Dove."

Medical Department.

"Has Operator White Dove been here today?" The white-haired Liberi brought a little girl with him and had a clear goal.

"Operator White Owl, Operator White Dove was here today, but now it seems he has gone to the sports field." Furong stood up and saw the girl brought by White Owl. "Oh, it's Ifrit, but Hemer is not here today..."

"Fallusion, Hemer and Saria have a special mission to complete, and have entrusted the White Owl to take care of Ifrit."

"So...what are you looking for White Pigeon for?"

"Find him to share the pressure of the task."

"...I think Operator White Dove will be unhappy..." Furong laughed dryly.

"It doesn't matter. White-faced Owl will help White Dove adapt to the task." White-faced Owl has no expression on his face, but always gives people a feeling of confidence.

Furong was silent. Is there something wrong here?

Ifrit frowned and swung her tail nervously. She had never seen the "white dove" mentioned by Saria, but she was not curious.

"White-Faced Owl, when will Saria and Humer finish their work?" Ifrit tugged at her clothes.

"There is no specific information about White Owl, but according to the known information, it is most likely not a long-term mission. However, Ifrit can rest assured that Operator White Dove will not be bored."

Ifrit nodded reluctantly, and turned back to look at a sink out of boredom. The water drops hanging on the faucet were reflecting the light slightly.

Of course, she didn't pay attention to this seemingly ordinary drop of water.

It wouldn't be surprising if White-Faced Owl was captured by Operator White Dove one day to settle accounts... Furong thought helplessly.

Time passed quietly, and Heigang's convoy finally arrived.
