Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Oh, yeah, give me back the little gadget that Kal'tsit gave you first."

Nian wiped his hands, which had turned black due to the furnace explosion, on his clothes in an ungraceful manner, and then stretched out his hands, which had not been completely wiped clean, in front of Beichen.

"The little thing... that coin? Why are you taking it back?"

Although he was confused, Beichen still took out the coin and threw it back to Nian.

"Of course it's used as material. There are some impurities on it that need to be removed, but I don't have any good way, so I can only give it to you."

You think of me as a tool, don't you? I was wondering why Kal'tsit had to tell me in person, so it was because of this.

Okay, okay, you’re just afraid that after you ask me for help, I’ll ask for too much, right?

“Next time you’ll have to pay.”

"Hey, don't say that."

Nian wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood up. The materials that she had just thrown into the small stove had completely disappeared, and instead, a small nail appeared on her right hand.

At least from the appearance, it does look like a nail, and its shape is quite different from other weapons that Beichen is familiar with.

"So what is this?"

Beichen pointed at Nian's hand and continued to ask.

"Also, what exactly is this important matter? You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. Are you lying to me again?"

"This is what you're going to use later. I don't know how effective it is, but don't be so anxious. Let me tell you first. I had a very scary dream last night."

Nian's expression suddenly became exaggerated, and his body movements also became exaggerated.

"A horrible dream? What? Did you find that you couldn't beat Xi and then she retaliated against you?"

Beichen thought about it and answered.

"It's not that scary, but I did get a lesson."

"I should have told you before that Xi and I are the younger ones among the brothers and sisters."

"Did you dream about your sister teaching you a lesson? Hahahaha, Nian, you always bully Xi, and now it finally falls on your head?"

Speaking of dreams, Beichen could already guess roughly what they were.

It must be Ling. Apart from her, no one else would visit in such a special way.

I don’t know whether he came for Nian and Xi or for myself?

Why do you care so much? Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving. How about staying in Rhodes Island to accompany your two sisters?

"Tsk, how can you always bully Xi? Isn't this just a normal way of communicating the feelings between sisters?"

Nian looked unhappy, and then stuffed the nail in his right hand into Beichen's hand.

"This time you're not looking for just any ordinary person. If I were to rate the difficulty level, I'd probably give it a 4.5."

"I don't know if you will remember what I said here, but remember, her name is Ling, she is my and Xi's elder sister, a blue-haired alcoholic. It should be easy to find her if you remember these two points."

"By the way, how difficult is it to find Xi?"

"0.01 points."

"........"

In the end, Xi still has to be persecuted, right?

"Alright, alright, how are we going to find this person? We can't just sit here and find him."

Beichen waved his hand and asked.

"Just move a little closer, hey... that's all it takes to find her."

"?"

Beichen looked at the nail that had just been inserted into his right arm with a confused look on his face. Blood had already started to ooze out.

"Nian, are you...........going to harm me?"

Although the wound healed quickly, it left an indelible trauma in Beichen's heart.

"Hmm? That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that I inserted it in the wrong place?"

Nian reached out and pulled out the nail, then prepared to insert it into Beichen's other arm.

"Hey wait a minute, before I get stabbed like a hornet's nest, can you tell me why you stabbed me?"

Beichen quickly stopped Nian who was about to take action.

"Normally, if you get stabbed by this thing, you will fall asleep immediately and enter a dream. This thing is like a locator plus a tracking device, ensuring that you can enter the correct dream and find the things and people you want to find."

So this thing is not really a nail, it might be more appropriate to call it an anchor point.

As for why it has to be acupunctured on the body to be effective, it is probably another of Nian’s bad taste.

"Now, what should I do if I can't sleep, or are you going to stab me until I pass out from excessive blood loss?"

“Not that it’s impossible. Maybe I should have made this thing a little bigger at the beginning?”

Damn it!

"By the way, am I going alone this time? It seems like you have no intention of going with me."

"Of course. I've never heard of anyone who can dream with others. Perhaps, only she and you can do it. That's why I asked you to come here."

Nian opened his mouth to explain.

"But I won't just wait here stupidly. If you find any clues or encounter any crisis, I can wake you up at any time."

Wake me up?

Beichen looked at the hammer that Nian placed behind him.

It won't be woken up by physical means.

"Now the question is, what should I do if I can't sleep?"

Beichen shrugged and said helplessly.

"It's okay. I can wait until you are asleep at night and sneak into your room to stab you."

Looking at the expression on Nian's face, yes, what she said this time seemed to be true. She might really sneak over and do it while Beichen was asleep.

"No, forget it. I have a good idea that can make me fall asleep in a few minutes."

Is it time to finally use my ultimate weapon? Come out, my magic sleep aid!

"Advanced Mathematics Part 2"!

"Beichen, what is this... Huh?! He actually fell asleep."

Yes, without even opening the book, just looking at the cover, Beichen immediately felt an irresistible sleepiness.

Yes, it's a sleeping magic! It's so evil that I have to sleep for two classes to fully recover.

Nian immediately confirmed whether Beichen was really asleep, and then inserted the nail into Beichen's arm again.

However, there was no wound this time, and the end of the nail seemed to have melted into Beichen's body.

“It seems to have worked.”

Nian carefully observed the nail that was emitting a faint light and nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Beichen, for always having to trouble you, a person who doesn't need to do anything for us."

Taking out the bed and quilt that had been prepared long ago, Nian picked up Beichen and gently placed him on the soft mattress.

"Alas, it seems that I can only wish you a smooth operation."

A rare look of distress appeared on Nian's face.

Sister Ling, sister Ling, why did you suddenly come to us at this time?
