Chapter 11: Lapland's sudden appearance
"Mom, how long do I have to stay here?"
"It will be soon. red, have you forgotten the Lupo mercenary you
met in the previous mercenary group?"
" red still remembers, he was so scared."
It was in the mercenary camp before. When the injured Lupo
mercenary was about to go to Reinette for help to treat him, his body was stuck
at the door and unable to move.
Just when Reinette was still wondering, she suddenly
remembered red who was sitting at the
cashier next to her. Her aura seemed to make the Lupo people afraid of this
setting.
He immediately asked red to go to the driver's seat, and only after
red disappeared from his sight did the
Lupo mercenary slowly regain his normal mobility. However, he was still very
scared, and almost tremblingly let Reinette complete the operation.
"So it's better not to show up in Siracusa, red, at least until you learn or remember how
to conceal your strange aura."
"I see, Mom."
"You're so good. Um, oh, you can continue to play here
for a while. Mommy is going back."
Under Reinette's manipulation, the water phantom touched red's head and then returned the water to its
original place, exploding into a ball of water mist, while consciousness
returned to the original body.
...…
"Well, the environment looks good, let's take this."
Reinette drove around the city and looked up at the hotels on the roadside.
Reinette parked the car in the basement of their hotel, got
out, patted the trunk, and asked red to
wait a little longer.
"Welcome to the moonlight Hotel. What can I do for
you?" asked the polite receptionist, Ms. Lupo.
"A double room for seven days."
"Please wait a moment...Miss, is 306 ok?"
"Can."
"The room rate is 500 LMD per day, and 3500 LMD for seven
days. Do you need room service?"
"We don't need to be able to solve it ourselves."
"Okay, no problem. Here are your keys. Please register
here." The receptionist took out a registration form and key from under
the table and handed them to Reinette.
...…
"Woo." red,
who had been sitting in the carriage for nearly a whole day, threw herself
directly onto the bed and rolled around on it.
Reinette sat next to her, and red rolled directly onto Reinette's legs. Reinette
looked at red rubbing against her legs
and touched her head: "Thank you for your hard work."
" red, it's not hard. Mom is with you."
red's personality is much more cheerful than in the original
book, but this is normal. After all, Reinette is not a taciturn person like
Kal'tsit who speaks in riddles.
The children raised are naturally more normal, not as taciturn
as in the original book. Reinette doesn't dislike the red in the original book. The original red gives people a very cool feeling.
However, when Reinette
really met red in the world
of Arknights .
Reinette looked down at red who was still rubbing against her, and a
smile appeared on her lips.
'Isn't this better?'
"Mom~"
"What's wrong, Red?"
" red, I want to touch my mother's tail." red raised her head with her watery eyes full
of cuteness.
Reinette looked at red's
watery eyes with a smile. The little red
could actually act cute, but cold words came out of Reinette's smiling mouth.
"No~"
"Well, mommy can touch red's tail too." red sat up from Reinette and put the tail in
front of her body, then raised it with her hand and stretched it in front of Reinette.
Reinette was slightly stunned. This little guy has learned to
bargain now. It's a pity that the bargaining chips for this transaction are
wrong.
"Hey, red can't mom touch your tail?"
"Eh?" red
looked at Reinette, but Reinette had a smile on her face and reached out to
touch red's ear.
"Hmm~" red
had no choice but to succumb to Reinette and placed her tail next to Reinette's
hand with her own hands.
There is no reason not to touch the tail that comes to your
door, and Reinette was not polite at all and touched it several times.
"Mom! Red turn~"
"Okay, we're still outside now. I'll let you touch it
when I have the chance." Reinette looked at red's aggrieved expression as if she had been
bullied, touched red's head, and said
softly.
"Yeah." red
nodded quickly.
red likes to touch her mother's tail, but she knows that her
mother has said that if her tail is exposed, there might be trouble.
red doesn't like the trouble that her mother doesn't like, so
she actually knows that Reinette will definitely not let her touch her now.
red didn't want to cause trouble for her mother, so she
pretended to be aggrieved. red was just
waiting for Reinette to say "touch her later".
"I always feel like you're just waiting for me to say
this. Forget it. Mom's going to go shopping. What do you want for dinner? I'll
buy it for you when I come back."
"Meat~"
"Okay, okay, I knew that's all you could say. Be good in
your room."
"Mom, Red, I understand."
......
"Lappland, the godfather will not let you go."
"Hahahaha…cough cough."
After laughing twice, Lapland coughed up blood. After all, she
was an elite under the family. Lapland's body was covered with wounds and
blood.
One of them even desperately punched Lappland in the chest at
the last moment.
Perhaps Lappland would be thankful that the opponent had brass
knuckles in her hand instead of a dagger or other weapon, otherwise the outcome
would be unpredictable.
But if that man really had a dagger in his hand, he might not
have had a chance to get close to Lappland.
"Alas, what a pity you almost came to kill me."
Lappland struggled to stand up, and used the strange weapon in
her hand to chop down the last one who was still breathing.
"Hu, cough, cough, I was a little too confident, cough,
cough!" Lappland looked at the blood that had just spurted out.
"That's not good..." Lappland gently touched the
spot that had just been punched.
Sure enough, as soon as I touched it, a sharp pain that had
just been suppressed by adrenaline swept over her.
"It's probably broken, and probably penetrated the lung.
Why does it hurt to talk?"
Lappland tried his best to suppress his breathing, so as not
to expand the wound in his lungs by breathing too heavily.
"I need treatment as soon as possible, but I can't go to
the hospital because my family members are definitely watching over me."
Lapland looked around. Against the dark sky, the neon lights
from the hotel were so bright.
"Hotels should prepare some medical supplies for guests
in special circumstances. Although it is unlikely that they will have a
scalpel, a fruit knife will be enough for that kind of thing."
Laplande is not a doctor, and she knows nothing about medical
ethics and medical standards.
...…
Lapland came to the rooftop of a small building next to the
hotel. The building was not tall, only three floors, but it was located inside
an alley, so it was very hidden and would not be discovered.
Of course, Lapland couldn't enter through the hotel front
door, as that would be tantamount to walking into a trap. Entering the hotel
through the guest room would be a more reasonable option.
Lappland adjusted her breathing, jumped hard, and grabbed the
drainpipe on the wall of the hotel. The sudden impact made her cough up some
blood again, which fell on the window next to her.
'Haha, if the person living here is a coward, would he be
scared silly after seeing this scene?'
Lappland looked at the masterpiece on the window, smiled
maliciously, and finally pushed the window beside him.
"Is it locked? Then..." Lappland found that the
window here was locked, so she didn't want to spend more effort to unlock it,
but checked to see if the window next to it was also locked.
"Wait, is that a medical kit?" Just as Lapland was
about to look at another window, he saw a medical kit on the table out of the
corner of his eye.
'Is there a homeless doctor living here? She in luck.'
Lapland looked at the medical box on the table and felt lucky.
Compared to God knows what was in the hotel's infirmary, Lapland certainly
hoped to get more formal treatment.
"It looks like no one is here, what a pity."
Lappland looked around the room carefully to make sure it was empty.
Lappland used the sword in his hand to gently cut open the
lock in the room and turned over to enter the room.
Lappland walked around the room fearlessly. She was not afraid
that the doctor would suddenly come back. Most of those wandering doctors
relied on bodyguards to practice medicine on the terra. They were worthy of
respect, but their fighting ability was far inferior.
Even if he met a truly capable wandering doctor, Lapland was
not afraid. It was not like he was not paying, so those wandering doctors would
not mind.
However, just as Lappland reached for the medical box on the
table, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear surge in her heart,
making her unable to move.
"Tail...!"
A dark shadow attacked Lappland from behind and knocked her to
the ground.
"Oh! Wait, stop, stop it!"
...
Reinette came up from downstairs humming a little tune, took
out the key to the door and opened it.
" red~ I'm going to reply... What's your position?"
As soon as Reinette turned on the light, she saw red sitting on a silver-haired Lupo in the
aisle, stroking her tail hard.
"Mom, she broke in suddenly." red turned around and looked at Reinette, then
pointed at the broken bolt on the ground by the window.
"Well, looking for me?" Reinette looked at the Lupo
with bandages tied around his body.
"I don't know. I think she just saw the medicine box that
mom had placed on the table through the window. red subdued her and treated the wounds on her
body with emergency treatment."
After all, red has been
with her for almost a month, and Reinette has also taught red some basic bandaging methods, which are
still very simple.
Reinette walked over, squatted down and took a closer look at
the face of the person under red.
"Lapland? What a coincidence."
"Alright, red, put
down your evil hands. Look at what you've done to this girl tail. Get ready to
start first aid."
red acted decisively, walked to the side, picked up the
medical box that had just been placed aside, and Reinette waved her hand to
create a ball of water, which she then transformed into a bed board floating in
the air.
He snapped his fingers again, and two layers of light balls
emanated from the point where his fingers collided.
As the light faded, the air around seemed to become fresher,
and the shadows on the ground that were originally illuminated by the
incandescent lamps above also disappeared without a trace. Looking closely, it
felt as if everything around was emitting a faint fluorescence.

"Preparations completed, surgery begins."

"Hmm…!"
Lapland woke up from his coma and tried to sit up but couldn't
move. Then he suddenly remembered what had just happened and was about to force
himself to stand up, but the numbness all over his body forced him to lie back
down.
"The operation has just been completed and the anesthesia
has just worn off. Don't move. Can you hear me clearly? What am I doing?"
"You snapped your fingers in my ears?"
"Well, you look conscious, Miss Laplander."
"Do you know me?"
Reinette put the pen back into the bag on his chest: "The
silver-haired Lupo tribe, holding weapons, covered in blood, and seriously
injured, but he didn't go to the hospital."
Reinette placed the file on her lap and said to Lappland, who
was lying on the water bed, with a smile: "Who else could meet so many
requirements? Of course, it's you, the stray wolf, Miss Lappland."
"You are not simple either, Miss Doctor. There is even a
werewolf hunter following you. But since you have guessed my identity, why
don't I give it a try too?"
"Sure."
"The wandering doctor of Liberi with blue ear feathers.
Oh, yes, he also has a Lupo and has a wonderful water control spell."
Lapland raised his hand with difficulty and patted the water bed under him.
"But I didn't expect that Lupo, who was rumored to be
following Miss Tiamat, would be a wolf hunter."
Reinette clapped her hands in applause: "Very accurate,
Miss Laplander."
"Thank you for your medical care, but I have to go
now."
"If you want to move while your central nervous system is
still semi-anesthetized, I don't mind. Believe me, Miss Laplander, you will die
if you go like this."
"Oh, choosing to save me is probably not a good thing for
Miss Tiamat."
"First of all, you are my patient. It is my duty as a
doctor to be responsible for my patients. Secondly, I am not afraid of the
so-called family."
Lappland looked back, looking in the direction of the creepy
gaze that she had felt since she woke up.
"That's right. After all, you have a werewolf hunter. And
it seems that the family didn't come here when I was unconscious. Were they
scared away, or did they never try to find this place at all?"
"The latter." Reinette waved her hand and asked red to come over and stop staring at Lappland.
Her tail was already standing on end.
