Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: If you are worried about that, Sirin and Jeanne d’Arc don’t have that problem. Sirin does not even have a family. Jeanne d’Arc is the easiest woman to deal with. Luo Li…Luo Li practically comes free. She might even be the one to humor you instead…

He Who Knows Fate: Everyone you mentioned is a child.

Magus of Flowers: You just have to wait a few years, right?

He Who Knows Fate: Sorry, they are good people…

Efreet: Just wait for death. There’s no saving you.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: There’s no saving you. Just wait for death.

He Who Knows Fate: Hah! Women…

Queen of Ice and Snow: Do you have an opinion?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Do you have an opinion?

(Countless others: …)

He Who Knows Fate: None. I have no opinion at all. How could I dare?

Chen Heng immediately submitted.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Humph!

Magus of Flowers: I have taken screenshots of everything you said.

He Who Knows Fate: Why the screenshots?

Magus of Flowers: Given my understanding of you, you will give your first invitation to Sirin, no doubt about it. I will show this to her then.

He Who Knows Fate: …In life, one should not behave like Merlin too much.

After eating, Chen Heng went to Blue Poison’s room to try her cake, a Blue Forest cake.

“Blue Poison, I remember telling you before, right? You can’t change the color.”

“But blue looks nice!”

“Erm…blue is one thing. What’s up with the green?” Chen Heng pointed at the Blue and Green Forest cake he could not bear to look at.

Chen Heng gained a new understanding of Blue Poison’s strange aesthetic sense. Perhaps Blue Poison’s understanding of colors was even weirder than he initially thought.

“Green goes well with blue.”

“My foot! I told you that the color must not change. Otherwise, it can’t be called a Black Forest cake.”

“Then change it to Blue Forest cake.”

“…You might as well change it to Blue Poison cake.”

“Can I?”

“…Let’s not talk about this for now. You are going on a mission tomorrow, right? Is it dangerous?”

“Thank you for your concern. It is just a simple medical mission. It initially required a Medic, but a Medic would not have sufficient combat prowess, so they sent me, a half-doctor, to protect them.”

“Alright. Since there is no danger, I can relax. I’ll return to my room first.”

“See you!”

After Chen Heng closed Blue Poison’s door and was about to enter his room, he suddenly heard footsteps from the stairs. These footsteps were heading for the fourth floor.

This made Chen Heng very curious, so he did not return to his room despite having opened the door already. The fourth floor was where all the problem children gathered. He wondered which problematic operator had returned. After all, he had yet to meet any of the other fourth-floor operators besides Blue Poison.

Two seconds later, a figure stepped onto the fourth floor. Chen Heng looked carefully and recognized this person. Of course, this person did not recognize him.

This person had long, platinum hair flowing down to her thighs and a large black sword. It’s you, the killer whale Didi, the strongest six-star operator in Arknights. Skadi was Chen Heng’s favorite six-star operator, not simply one of. After all, who wouldn’t like such an adorable, mature woman with such a domineering air?

[TL Note: Didi is a popular fan nickname for Skadi.]

Chen Heng wasn’t the only one curious; Skadi also felt curious about Chen Heng. Of course, this did not show on her face. After all, Skadi took the persona of a cold and aloof mature woman.

It was not that Skadi did not want to make friends but that she felt she brought disaster to those she considered friends. After all, being an Abyssal Hunter was not a glorious job. So far, all who befriended Skadi ended up dying.

“Hello, I’m He Who Knows Fate. You must be Skadi, right?” Chen Heng did not enter his room but waited for Skadi to come nearer before introducing himself.

“You are He Who Knows Fate? The one who copied my profile?” While Skadi was a Rhodes Island operator, she was not familiar with the other Rhodes Island operators.

However, she knew about He Who Knows Fate, as Kal’tsit had mentioned him to her. He had copied her profile to the letter except for the name and gender. Right, Kal’tsit only just mentioned it.

“…Kal’tsit told you, right?” Chen Heng remained silent for a while before guessing who had told Skadi. No one else could have done so but Kal’tsit.

“Yes. She just told me. While I don’t mind you copying my profile, are you not afraid of revenge from certain Genesezoics? They might mistake you for my friend.”

[TL Note: The Genesezoics are the precursor to the Seaborn race and Leviathans and are seen as the Seaborn gods. Here is more information: https://arknights.fandom.com/wiki/Seaborn/Leviathan.]

Skadi was not a cold or emotionless person. She chose to live in isolation for only one reason: to avoid endangering others.

All who interacted closely with her met with bad ends. She chose not to have friends to protect her friends. This killer whale’s thought process was truly strange.

“I am a seven-star operator. Pardon me for being straightforward, but I really fear nothing in this world.”

“Seven-star?” Skadi was familiar with the star system. Rhodes Island had categorized her as a six-star operator. Previously, six stars had been the highest. Now there was seven stars?

“That is to say, my sniping ability is off the charts, so they categorized me as seven stars.”

“Which means you are powerful? I couldn’t tell. I was just reminding you. Using my profile is fine if you have confidence in your strength.” Skadi lowered the gigantic sword she had slung over her shoulder. Chen Heng felt a slight tremor when the sword touched the floor.

Truly a killer whale, indeed. She is on a completely different scale from the other operators.

“I don’t know why, but I get a strange feeling when I look at you.” For some reason, Skadi suddenly wanted to chat with this person before her.

“What kind of strange feeling?”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. Since you copied my operator profile, can you tell me your race?” Skadi did not answer Chen Heng, asking another question instead.

“Sure, I’m a pure human.” Chen Heng had no intention of lying to Skadi. He did not like lying to people. He would either say he could not reveal the information or just tell the truth.

Of course, there were extraordinary situations, like when he first met Sirin. Back then, he could only tell a white lie. Of course, he still had not told Sirin the truth.

“Ah! A pure human. That is extremely rare. No wonder you copied my operator profile. This situation is even rarer than mine.”

Terra had extremely few races with no non-human characteristics; Skadi’s race was among them.

Upon hearing that Chen Heng was pure human, Skadi gave him a few more glances, causing his hair to stand on end, as she had a strange look in her eyes.
