Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

There is only one wall in this room, and various names and IDs are engraved on it.

"Dr. Kelsey? What can I do for you?"

Bai Hua, who was standing in front of the wall, noticed Kelsey's arrival. He shook his disguised fox tail and asked Kelsey's reason for coming through the respirator.

"You have to... no, what are you doing here?"

Kelsey interrupted, wishing to have a chat with the gray wolf, whatever it was, before driving the gray wolf out for the second time.

"Ah, it might be a bit strange to say it... I'm remembering the names of these operators."

Bai Hua put one hand lightly on the wall, stroking the code names that had lost their owners.

This is the memorial place of Rhodes Island, engraved on the wall are the code names of the operators who died in the mission.

"Remember the name?"

"Well, maybe I can't help Rhodes Island to do something, but... how should I put it, if one more person can remember their names, will it delay the time for them to be completely forgotten? ?”

"Interesting sociological argument, which touches on the definition of death."

Kelsey walked to Bai Hua and looked at the code name on the wall with him.

"Doctor Kelsey, you have already written down the IDs of these operators, right?"

"Someone has to do it, and it's always me."

Kelsey's tone was very calm, life and death had long been bearish to her.

"Then don't you feel very tired, Dr. Kelsey? The weight on your shoulders must be frightening to carry the will of so many dead."

"I'm used to it."

"That's not a good habit. Although I'm no longer qualified, but—try to share some with others occasionally, don't take everything alone."

Bai Hua took off the respirator, and showed Kelsey the smile he had learned slowly after leaving Rhodes Island.

——Don't show me that look

"Well, sure enough, it's weird for a deported sinner like me to say such a thing, but that's what it means, Dr. Kelsey."

Bai Hua rubbed her ears in embarrassment, and put the respirator back on.

- Don't 'dictate' on my choice

"Speaking of which, Doctor Kelsey, you were looking for me just now, right? Is it because of your status? To be honest, I feel that Master... seems to have felt something, or else I'll just leave right now? You can go shopping in Rhodes Island After a round, I know that most of you are still doing well, and the doctor has been rescued, so I am already satisfied."

"—Don't always say such stupid things!"

"Well?!"

Boom!

Kelsey held Bai Hua's clothes and pressed it against the wall engraved with the code names of past devotees.

"Doubt me like Amiya Ascalon and the others! Curse me loudly like W! You always put on this attitude, this attitude of willingly accepting everything... What do you want me to do!? You want me to be a complete sinner?!"

"Kay... Doctor Kelsey?"

Bai Hua was completely stunned. In his memory, this was the first time he saw such an angry expression on Kelsey's face.

No... When she expelled herself, she also showed anger.

The anger of these two times is surprisingly consistent, both of which are the anger of 'the target is directed at Bai Hua, but it is actually directed at himself'.

"sorry--"

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who forced Sarkaz's 'karma' into it, used guilt to expel you from Rhodes Island, and kept using various excuses to disguise your true nature—to mess up your life I'm the one who made the mess."

The person who is escaping is not only the gray wolf in front of him, but also himself.

Kelsey doesn't understand Teresia's death, nor does she understand what's next for the collapsed Tower of Babel.

She could only forcefully take over the helm of the lost captain, and use various methods to keep Rhodes Island from disintegrating.

Kelsey's faith support is running out, the Rhodes Island, the young demon king - gray wolf, this is one of the few motivations for her to support herself.

As I said before, in order to protect Birch and Rhodes Island, Kelsey can only maintain a fragile balance.

In fact, there has always been a new choice here—to tell Bai Hua and everyone the cause and effect, and gather everyone to face the coming storm.

But... Kelsey was a little scared.

She was afraid that she would not be able to lead these people through the storm, afraid that the number of code names carved on this wall would continue to increase.When the best 'monarch' and the most ruthless and efficient 'chess player' he had witnessed for thousands of years all retired, Kelsey chose to escape instead of betting his hopes on the successors of the next generation.

Now, everything is finally completely out of my control, and I will also usher in... Huh?

Kelsey's thoughts were interrupted by a subtle touch on her head.

"...Are you rubbing my hair, Shirakaba?"

Kelsey raised her head slightly, and looked at the young Luper who was already a little taller than herself before she knew it.

"Uh...isn't this okay? I remember that when I was in a bad mood, His Highness would touch me like this."

Bai Hua blinked in embarrassment.

"...Then let's continue."

Kelsey closed her eyes, and at the same time stopped the thoughts that almost never stopped in her mind.

The warm temperature spread to the surroundings of the body along with the comfortable touch that spread outwards. For the first time in her life, Kelsey realized that being touched on the head would be so comfortable.

Let's stop for a moment, whether it's the future of this land, or the direction Rhode Island is going, the future choices of the Sarkaz...

I'm a little tired, let me rest for 2 minutes first, that's fine.

However, luck rarely favors Kelsey:

"Doctor Kelsey! We just passed a meeting and decided to follow your order this time, and not to expose Baihua—eh!? Kai, Dr. Kelsey—brother Baihua!?"

Amiya's panicked voice came from behind.

...does it have to be now?

Kelsey didn't get up angry, but she really felt a burst of irritability for no reason now.

Chapter 123 The Riddler Get Out of Terra

"We should—talk about Dr. Kelsey first."

In the conference room, Amiya changed the subject. Instead of continuing to 'impeach' Kelsey, she wanted to discuss some suspicious things about her with everyone.

"I just felt Dr. Kelsey's heart subconsciously for a moment... To be honest, it doesn't seem like the emotion that a person who blames others because of resentment should have...Since everyone is here, I think we should discuss about Kelsey. Dr. Dorsey's 'abnormality', before the official vote."

Amiya glanced at the elite operators and department heads in the conference room. Surprisingly, everyone did not object to Amiya's sudden change of mind. Perhaps these people have always felt Kelsey's "abnormality" in their hearts. Be confused.

"First of all...why did Dr. Kelsey have to expel Brother Baihua? Rhodes Island has been established for at least 5,6 or [-] years. During this time, Dr. Kelsey has never 'expelled' any operator. That being the case, why did she act like this to Brother Bai Hua?"

Amiya asked everyone in a low voice, hoping to get a convincing answer from everyone.

"Because she can't tolerate mistakes, isn't that guy always a person who pursues perfection and predictability? The influence of wolf cubs is beyond her calculation and reasoning. Naturally, that narrow-minded old woman couldn't accept it, so she chose to put wolf cubs Kicked out."

Ascalon responded coldly.

"Is this really the case...? I remember the first time the reserve operator Fu Rong cooked, which paralyzed nearly half of Rhodes Island. It was an acute food poisoning incident second only to Brother Baihua's "star anise mustard dumpling". But even so However, Dr. Kelsey did not impose sanctions on Furong, and even spared time to help reserve operator Furong, changing her nutritious meal from eating dead people to a 'nutritious but unpalatable' level."

Amiya told the story of the culprit that the operatives had brought up recently. At that time, Kelsey not only didn't "expel them out and leave no one behind", but also carefully helped to solve the problem.

"...That's a matter of nature. Her Highness Teresia was assassinated and died. The severity of this incident is not comparable to that of food poisoning in the cafeteria. She probably wants to blame all the mistakes on the wolf cubs. In this way Ego-free management decisions are negligent."

Ascalon snorted coldly, it seemed that she still believed that Kelsey was targeting Bai Hua for personal reasons.

"But...even Miss W, the mercenary, didn't get too angry and criticized Brother Bai Hua after learning about this incident. I think Dr. Kelsey...she has no reason to be so angry."

Amiya whispered, but her tone seemed a little uncertain.

"——What you said is also reasonable, if only in terms of intimacy, W will not be much worse than Kelsey, but even the crazy bomber knows very well that the wolf cub is not the most serious dereliction of duty in the incident , Kelsey has no reason not to know such a simple thing."

Ascalon fiddled with the dagger again. After the reasoning just now, everything didn't seem to make much progress. She still couldn't understand why Kelsey had to expel Bai Hua.

"Is it possible that Kelsey is protecting Bai Hua? Occasionally, there will be this kind of impeachment drama in Sarkaz's royal court. Although 9% of them are killed in another place, occasionally there will be such 1% of the time, the 'repelling' is actually to protect the target and be able to evacuate from the danger zone."

Dr. Warfarin, one of the heads of the medical department, rested his fingers on his chin, and put forward his suggestion with a little thought.

"Kelsey is not the kind of person who will be dominated by emotions. Even if I frighten her when she is preparing the medicine, she will only prepare and fill the medicine in a serious manner, and then turn around and hang me on the bridge. I also I don't think she would be motivated by 'emotion' to act like this."

Hua Farin, a senior graduate of the Bridge University, added another sentence.

"Protect from whom? Was someone going to hunt down Bai Hua at that time?" Huang Maomao asked curiously.

"Actually—there were many. At that time, many royal princes in Kazdel had realized the existence of the 'Different Eyed Wolf', and planned to solve the hidden danger of this berserk. But the problem is—that guy Kelsey Is it really 'protection', rather than directly kicking the wolf cubs away to avoid collateral damage?"

Ascalon, who once belonged to Tracys and lived in the royal court of Kazdel for a period of time, answered Huang's doubts.It's just that she still doesn't think that Kelsey expelled Bai Hua from Rhodes Island out of some "good intentions". It's a bit like throwing the operator out directly to prevent sparks, just like the former doctor.

"Usas, Victoria, Longmen—these places are the areas where Bai Hua once arrived, right? Do you have any clues about the connection between these places and Dr. Kelsey?"

Amiya tentatively asked, although she didn't expect anyone to provide 'clues', but Ke Luxie, the person in charge of the engineering logistics department, clapped her hands as if she suddenly thought of something.

"Speaking of which, when I was preparing to hold a 150% discount in the supermarket, I saw a letter delivery record, which was an encrypted file sent by Kelsey using the messenger network, and the recipient was—— Bo Zhuo Captain Castile."

"--patriot?"

Warfarin's eyes widened. The name of the last pure-blooded Wendigo was actually more shocking than imagined.

"What did Kelsey contact the Patriots for...time? Don't tell me that Bai Hua contacted after he was expelled."

"It's not bad. I feel more like it was carried out at the same time. That is to say, when Kelsey kicked Bai Hua out, he had already started contacting the Patriots and didn't know what to do."

Cruciel shrugged and said that it was basically the same time.

"...About Victoria"

Ascalon's tone became a little lower, and she vaguely realized that perhaps these people in the meeting room, as Kelsey said at the time, "have no idea what they are doing."

"Uh, at that time, I remembered that Brother Bai Hua said in the contact with me that Ursus was too cold, and there was a small problem here, and he planned to change the place. Dr. Kelsey happened to chat with me two days ago about It’s a topic about a frontier town in Victoria, so I recommend it to Brother Baihua.”

Amiya rubbed her hair and whispered.

"Thinking about it carefully, that place seems a bit too 'specific'... It's almost as if it was deliberately left behind after a special investigation and screening. And if Dr. Kelsey really doesn't want to get angry at all, there is no need to recommend Victoria , after all, Tracy is currently entrenched in Londinium in Victoria."

Amiya recalled her conversation with Bai Hua at that time, not so much that she provided a direction, but it was actually the gray wolf guided by Dr. Kelsey.

"..."

Everyone was silent for a moment, not because of certain facts that were about to surface, but because they were thinking about why no one had noticed doubts about such an easy-to-discover 'clue' for three years.

Perhaps... Kelsey's performance was too perfect. She performed her image of "expelling the operator because of anger" without any sense of disobedience. Naturally, no one will dig out and track down what she hides under the cover. wearing something.

"Longmen needless to say, at least judging from the current information, the possibility that Kelsey has been guiding the wolf cubs does exist." Ascalon's tone was not as tit-for-tat as before.

"I knew that Dr. Kelsey would not do that kind of behavior. She would never abandon an operator for personal reasons. Besides, Dr. Kelsey also likes Bai Hua very much, doesn't she?"

ACE said from the side that he was one of the few operators who trusted Kelsey from the beginning to the end. When he learned of another possibility, his expression naturally eased a lot.

"Oh, right! I noticed before that Kelsey opened a hidden IP account, signed 'Dr. Green', which was used to transport the drugs specifically developed by Rhodes Island—in the beginning, it was the frontier of Ursus, Then there was Victoria Town, and now Dragon Gate."

"No wonder I said that the drug store will not be able to match the number every once in a while, and I have specially reviewed two rounds of medical operators for this reason!"

But Lucille thought of something again, and after hearing about the content of "Dr. Green" secretly mailing the drug reagents, Warfarin on the side also showed an expression of enlightenment.

"So……"

At this point in the discussion, everyone has already got another answer.

"Although we still don't know why Dr. Kelsey must expel Brother Bai Hua, but... what is certain is that this is not a personal grievance, do you agree?"

Amiya looked at the crowd, but no one made any rebuttals. Everyone was just recalling how Kelsey deceived everyone and packaged herself as a ruthless manager.

"Then...the meeting is temporarily suspended, I'm going to see Dr. Kelsey!"

Amiya, who realized that her previous words and actions might cause harm to Kelsey, immediately panicked and prepared to look for Kelsey.

According to the positioning, Amiya did find Kelsey—but the other party was leaning on Baihua's arms (from the perspective of Amiya's back), and Baihua was stroking Kelsey's head dotingly, and the medical department The person in charge turned into a kitten purring and meowing in her arms, Amiya beautifies and exaggerates the processing filter)

------

"Here, what's going on...?"

"Please stop trying to cover your face, Brother Bai Hua, we already know your true identity!"

Bai Hua, who was caught (?) on the spot, tried to hide and become a 'foxtail grass', but was immediately pierced by Amiya and stopped.

At this time, Amiya stood in front of Kelsey and Baihua with her hands on her hips, pouted and looked angry.

"Ugh... Dr. Kelsey?"
