Ark of the Immortal

She walked a little further and answered the phone.

The undead man did not follow and gave her enough space.

After a while, Huang returned to the undead man, and the expression on his face was no longer as relaxed as before.

Mr. Immortal, Dr. Kelsey wants to see you. I wonder if you would like to talk to her?

The undead had heard of Kelsi, and had heard of this person's existence during the past three days at Longmen.

She is a veteran of Rhode Island, one of Amiya's teachers, and the actual person in charge of Rhode Island.

I wonder why she wants to see the immortal?

But the immortal would not refuse such a meeting. On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.

certainly.

The undead man nodded, stretched out his hand and said.

Lead the way.

...

The two of them followed the original elevator all the way to the top of the deck and walked along the corridor on the top floor until they reached the innermost office. Huang knocked on the door.

Come in.

A cold voice sounded from inside the door. At the same time, the iron door was pushed open, and Huang led the undead man into the office.

The undead man saw that person at first sight.

Her light green hair covered her eyes, and she was sitting behind her desk, processing the documents in front of her with the pen in her hand.

The tip of the pen left a graceful curve on the paper. After writing the last character, she put down the pen and raised her eyes.

The undead saw those eyes.

He couldn't see anything hidden inside.

But he could feel the decay and incompleteness from this man.

If it weren't for the smooth skin on her face, an undead person would think that what he saw was a living corpse.

Thank you for your hard work, Huang.

With cold words, Kelsi thanked Huang and immediately asked Huang to leave the office.

Next, I want to have a private conversation with Mr. Undead. Can you please step aside?

Of course, Dr. Kelsey.

Huang nodded, she had complete respect for Kelsey. So he turned around without hesitation and left here.

Huang gave people the impression that he was very bold and unassuming before. But in front of Kelsey, she completely put away these feelings, leaving only seriousness and earnestness.

The undead man stood at the door. The iron door behind him creaked and Huang closed it.

Mr. Immortal, please sit down.

Kelsey pointed to the seat opposite her desk and politely asked him to sit down.

I learned about you from Ace three days ago. I'm glad you can come to Rhode Island. Although at the moment, it's just for a visit and to visit old friends.

As soon as Kelsi spoke, the immortal heard other meanings.

She knew her purpose was not just to send Keob for treatment, but to meet another person.

You know, Melanza, is my disciple?

The undead man came to the seat and sat down. He placed the giant sword behind his back next to Kelsey's desk.

The huge weight pressed down on the desk, making the desk creak painfully.

Hearing this voice, Kelsey glanced at the undead table and raised her eyebrows, but did not make any comments about it.

Instead, he answered the immortal's question head-on.

Yes, I know she is your disciple.

Kelsey nodded, clasped her hands and placed them on the table, staring straight at the undead man in front of her.

Those eyes without any emotion seemed to want to penetrate the armor and see clearly the essence of the undead hidden under the armor.

Rather, if you see such swordsmanship and think of the urban legend of Victoria's Haunting Ghost, and fail to detect anything, that's what a fool does.

Before Kelsey could finish speaking, she straightened up slightly, picked up a dark green mug from the side, and took a sip of the coffee inside.

It had just been soaked, and it was still steaming.

After taking a sip, Kelsey continued.

Of course, the letter you sent is also key. The signature on it confirms my suspicion.

She was about to take a second sip, but the coldness that followed spread throughout her body.

Kelsey's hand holding the mug suddenly tightened, and the shadow behind her began to become restless.

The source of all this pressure was the undead man sitting opposite her who did nothing.

The undead man looked at Kelsey and tapped the tabletop with his right index finger placed on the table.

Da da da...

The undead man's relaxed look made Kelsey dare not take a sip of coffee in front of him.

Until the undead spoke.

You read the letter I sent to Melanza.

No! When all letters are sent to the island, they will pass through the hands of the Personnel Department. However, we will not open any private letters of operators. We will only record the recipients of the letters. This is also to ensure the safety of Rhode Island!

Kelsey spoke out this established fact at the fastest speaking speed in so many years.

It was precisely because of this that the pressure on her gradually subsided, and after her right hand relaxed, a little blue and white appeared on the knuckles.

This is a sign of overexertion.

The sudden pressure made her feel the terror of death.

But she remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

The undead man sat in his seat and said nothing.

Kelsey calmly took a sip of coffee and swallowed it heavily.

The undead man did not press forward step by step and let her finish the sip of coffee.

During this gap, Kelsey also began to rethink her negotiation strategy.

I originally thought that the other party would not react too violently to this kind of thing, and my purpose was just to tell him a piece of information. He pays great attention to the other party and hopes to let the other party know how much Rhode Island values ​​him.

But it seemed that when he spoke, he directly touched the other party's taboo.

And that hostility made Kelsey understand in an instant that he was not just a threat, but actually wanted to take action.

Putting down the mug in her hand, Kelsey slowed down her tone.

She immediately realized in this short confrontation that the person sitting in front of her was powerful enough to kill her on the spot.

Feel sorry.

So, she bowed her head decisively.

If this offends you, please forgive me. But these are the rules of Rhode Island and I have to enforce them.

In one sentence, he pointed the finger from himself to the entire Rhode Island.

Judging from the information collected previously, the Immortal is not a person who dictates rules.

As long as this rule is within his tolerance, there is no danger.

As expected, when faced with Kelsey's apology, the Immortal just nodded, accepting the apology, and did not investigate Kelsey's mention of the letter any further.

You, it seems, know me very well.

The undead man now took the initiative in the conversation and spoke slowly.

You think you know me very well.

Although the undead have always shown themselves to be taciturn, they also looked easy-going in front of Ace and Keob.

But he is still a king hunter, a hunter who hunts gods. Anyone who dares to offend must first be prepared to face the price of offending.

Don't dare.

Kelsey lowered her head slightly, showing a rare sign of weakness in her tone.

I just did some research. The deeds you left on Terra are enough for any force to take it seriously.

This sentence is interesting. First, I change the name of the immortal to you, and then use words to express my respect.

This woman who seems to be used to high positions of power actually puts down her posture.

Um...

The immortal nodded, he said.

Do you know my identity?

I know.

Kelsey raised her head again and straightened up again after showing weakness.

I know everything...I know a lot.

He seemed to have thought of something and immediately changed his mind.

At this time, it was Kelsey's time to show her worth.

So she continued.

You do not belong to this generation, but you created this generation.

Today Terra is living under your gift. But there is a depth lurking in the shadows that you cannot match.

And I know very little about your identity. I only got a title from my former colleagues.

Kelsey paused slightly, then she spoke.

Lord Ashes.

The undead man's index finger tapping on the table paused for a moment.

It’s really nostalgic. How long has it been since I heard this title?

What he really valued was the person she was talking about, a colleague.

Who did you listen to?

If what she said is true, then whose mouth did this title come from? Who is this colleague she is talking about?

Could it be that woman? Could it be that she has also survived the changes of generations?

PhD.

Kelsey said without hesitation.

He is a world-renowned Originium researcher, the future military commander of Rhode Island, and Amiya's mentor. But he is not on the island now.

Where is he?

The undead man continued to ask, the answer to this question was very important to him.

Kelsey's reaction was also very quick. She seemed to have expected this reaction from the undead man.

In Ursus, Chernobog. He is sleeping there, and our goal now is to rescue him. Rhodes Island needs his wisdom, and he also needs him to take charge of the overall situation.

...

The undead man's mind was a little numb, but he still tried his best to think.

After a moment, the undead man couldn't help but chuckle.

I see.

So, you want to invite me to join Rhode Island and save people with you?

Yes.
