Ark of the Immortal

How else can I drink?

Maybe you can crush the coffee beans first, then swallow them, and then pour hot water directly into them.

Are you crazy?! Such a high temperature?!

But you used to do this when you were too busy. By the way, it's the same when you eat instant noodles.

While talking, Kelsey had brought two cups of hot coffee to the doctor and put a cup of coffee for him.

Two spoons of milk, one spoon of sugar, I don't have cocoa syrup here, I have to go to the cafeteria. Just drink it.

Kelsey sat down with her bitter coffee without adding anything. She subconsciously put her left leg on her right leg, curled up her upper body, and took a sip of the hot coffee.

The doctor carefully picked up the coffee, tried to open the mask, and took a sip.

So hot!

Then drink slowly.

When Kelsey saw that she was being burned, she hurriedly put down her coffee. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve slightly, but she smoothed them out quickly.

Is the taste good?

It tastes good, but it's a bit hot.

The doctor was in a hurry, and when he was about to put down the coffee, his hand shook again, and the hot coffee spilled all over his clothes.

Kelsey looked at Dr. Hurry, and a sense of novelty arose spontaneously.

She pursed her lips and asked calmly.

The ambassador from Ursus came here this morning. They talked to me about Qicheng and informed me that the core city of Qicheng has separated from the main city early this morning.

The big white cat looked at the doctor next to him.

Doctor, what do you think?

The doctor was still busy cleaning up the coffee that he accidentally shook on his clothes. When he heard Kelsey's question, he raised his head in confusion.

ah?

...

Kelsey sighed.

Forget it, just drink it, I won't ask you any more.

Kelsey picked up the coffee, straightened up, took two more sips, and then stood up.

I made an appointment with the Immortal for you an hour ago. He will come over in about twenty minutes. You can organize your language and communicate with him then.

She glanced at the Doctor.

is that OK?

no problem.

The doctor nodded.

I can't explain why, but I always feel that the woman in front of me...

The original relationship with him should not be bad.

196. Solve mysteries, more mysteries

First of all, congratulations.

The first words the immortal said when he came into the room were to the doctor.

Congratulations, you are back in Rhode Island.

Oh, forget it. To be honest, I don't have any real feelings now. On the contrary, the sound of fighting on the battlefield is still echoing in my ears, which makes me feel that it is real.

The two looked at each other, and when they were talking, a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere arose spontaneously.

Kelsey, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, always feeling strange when looking at the doctor.

This guy was not so relaxed when facing Amiya and I...

I haven't formally introduced myself yet.

The doctor stretched out his right hand and spoke.

They all say my name is Doctor.

Immortal.

The two hands were held together and shook, and the enthusiasm on both sides could be seen.

Needless to say, the immortal has a great need for doctors.

Don't get me wrong, the demand mentioned here means that he is very interested in the things in the doctor's mind. Whatever the doctor remembers and knows, he wants to dig these things out of the doctor's head.

As for the doctor, he can only feel an inexplicable familiarity when facing the undead. This kind of familiarity is something that Amiya and Kelsey cannot give him.

Although they have passed many tests to prove that the Doctor is their former Doctor, the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel who led the predecessor of Rhode Island through the difficulties.

But for the doctor himself, he has no memory of this. It's like a strange feeling that everything has been arranged by others.

This feeling is not very comfortable.

But Amiya and Kelsey were really nice to him. Except Kelsey always had a cold face and felt like she owed him something.

Although it was just an intuition, the doctor could also find a hint of hatred and helplessness in the eyes Kelsey looked at him from time to time.

But not when facing the undead, it is pure warmth and peace of mind.

Sit down first and I'll make tea for you.

Kelsey first asked the undead to sit down, and then found an excuse to leave the room.

Watching Kelsey push open the door and go out, the undead man pulled his gaze back.

You let her go out?

She herself feels that maybe our communication would be smoother if she were not around.

The doctor shrugged.

She doesn't seem to be able to cope with you. Her face always falls when she mentions you. She's usually quite good-looking.

...

It's hard to say anything even if you don't die. Kelsey has taken good care of him during this period. It's impossible to undermine her in front of the doctor at this time, saying that he threatened her with his life on the first day he entered the island.

Okay, now that we are here, we can have a good chat. Just in time, I have a lot of questions to ask you.

The doctor rubbed his hands and adjusted his sitting posture on the sofa. He arched his body forward, leaned his elbows on his knees, and clasped his palms together.

me too.

The undead man nodded to the doctor, he said.

You first.

Then you're welcome, Mr. Immortal.

The doctor sorted out his thoughts. When he had coffee with Kelsey, he had roughly sorted out the questions he wanted to ask.

Now you just need to list these things and ask the questions one by one.

First of all, you know my current situation.

The doctor gestured to himself with both hands, he said.

There is something missing in my mind, but my body is also very adaptable to certain situations. For example, Kelsey and Amiya asked me some questions about the Origin Stone. My mind was empty, but my mouth would subconsciously answer it. Another example is The same goes for the knowledge about medical assistance, which I obviously couldn't remember in my mind. But when I saw those instruments, I was able to operate them.

uh-huh.

The immortal nodded. He already understood this symptom when he chatted with Amiya and the others yesterday.

It is said that this is the instinct of the body guiding him to do things, and has nothing to do with memory.

According to Kelsey's theory, my current situation is that all superficial memories have disappeared. In other words, I don't know who I am, where I come from, and what I will do.

The doctor waved his hand.

I have no friends, no identity, and I don't even know who my parents are. But I damn well know what my parents' friends mean. I also know a lot about this situation of forcing Terra.

His tone was a little irritable, but the immortal could understand his feelings. After all, this was not the first time he had felt it.

The undead have more experience.

These are superficial memories. But deep memories... well, to use a word you can understand, it is subconscious, or instinct. In the subconscious, I am still the doctor from Rhode Island. I can drive, I can When it comes to negotiating with people, I know a lot about Origin Stone, and I’m even an expert with who knows how many degrees.”

The doctor raised his hands and paused in the air, shaking his head as he spoke.

To be honest, this feeling is very disconnected, you know. It's like I was stuffed into this body out of thin air. The key is that everyone tells me that I am who I am. It's just that I don't know that I am who I am.

But, Mr. Immortal, you are different. You are special!

The doctor looked at the undead man, and the undead man seemed to be able to feel the fiery gaze from under the doctor's mask.

When I saw you, some pictures appeared in my mind. In those pictures, there were people I had never seen before, but felt very familiar. I watched them die in front of me, and they told me Something happened. I watched someone put me into the coffin, and I closed my eyes very cooperatively.

I can also feel a very hot breath from your body. I can even look at you and feel that I am being burned. This burning pain is different from the feeling that a normal person would feel when his body is burned by flames. It’s different… Damn, I know what it feels like, but I can’t put it into words.”

Listening to the doctor's words, the immortal was a little surprised.

There have been speculations before that the doctor was burned, and today's exchange has confirmed this possibility.

The undead man spoke.

I feel that my body is not my own. Every inch and every part is melting. It is obviously very painful, but I am speechless and my consciousness refuses to speak.

Yes, yes, yes! Yes, that's right, Mr. Undead!

The doctor reached out and clapped his hands. The undead man was so right. It was as if he had been a guest in his dream, and he felt exactly the same.

That's it! It's not just the burning on the surface. To use an analogy, I am like a piece of paper. I have no chance to resist. I watch my body and consciousness being eaten away bit by bit.

The Doctor is now communicating with the undead. If other people saw it, they would be so shocked that their eyes would fall out.

In their impression, the doctor has never looked so out-of-the-box. He has always been a mature and steady leader who makes people feel at ease when he speaks.

But now, in front of the undead, he was like a chirping child, jumping up and down.

Tell me first, what's in the picture.

The undead man was very interested in the image that flashed in the doctor's mind after seeing him.

If those images induce a sense of pain, then there must be someone related to it.

Okay...let me think...

The doctor rubbed his forehead and said slowly.

Well, first of all... there are two women. One is named... and the other is named Teresa... Theresa! Yes, Theresa!

The immortal nodded.

continue.

Then... there is another one called... Department... Send...?

The doctor closed his eyes and tried to think back for a long time, but he could only hold back one word.

But just this one word is enough for the undead to give clues.

The undead man suddenly clenched his right hand and spoke in a deep voice.

Fire girl?

Fire Girl...Yes! They all call her Fire Girl. I know your name and she told me.

The doctor was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said.

But! But this is not the last memory I have before I lie in the coffin. This must have been a long time ago.

He said firmly.

The fire girl mentioned your name to me and the name of the coffin I was sleeping in. I could clearly feel my mood. When I lay in the coffin, I was the only one. I lay down in it voluntarily. And there was no hesitation.”

The undead man was no longer interested when the doctor said this anymore, so he asked quickly.

Do you remember any information about the fire girl?
