Arknights is too real, right?

In the endless darkness, I don't know how long I slept until a beam of light tore through the endless darkness and I woke up.

Light shone in from the gap, accompanied by the urgent voice of a girl.

Doctor, I finally found you, hold my hand.

A small hand covered with blue rings appeared in my blurred vision. At that moment, I subconsciously grasped that hand. At the same time, it seemed that I was grasping a responsibility and obligation. There was once a voice in the endless darkness. lingering in the ear.

————She needs you

I don't know who I am, I only know that I was awakened from the sarcophagus, and there were many people around me, who seemed to be here to save me.

who I am?

As my consciousness gradually became clearer, I began to think about this issue.

Two completely different memories come to mind.

It was a distant world, so far away that it seemed like it was not in the same dimension.

[Winter and summer vacations] [Dog planning] [Ten consecutive draws] [Golden legend] [Photosensitive epilepsy]

Some keywords form a vague world view. I have the concept of [Origin Stone] in my mind. The Source Stone can be converted into my sanity or exchanged for some props I want, that's all.

Soon, these distant memories gradually faded away until they completely disappeared.

Maybe it was just a dream.

Is this a game? No, this is not a game, it is another incomplete memory. Although most of the things I have experienced have been forgotten, they have left traces in my mind.

Many years ago, I was a very powerful person. I don’t know how long these years were. It might have been 3 years ago, 30 years ago, or 500 years ago.

I want to resist something, I want to build a tower leading to the kingdom of heaven, and I even want to change the world. I don’t know if I have succeeded, or maybe this moment is an important node leading to success. I don’t know. , because I forgot.

The evacuation of Chernobog was thrilling. I was forced to take command of the battle. I forgot a lot of things, but not how to win. It was strange, but also lucky.

I remember there was a man named ACE in the team, and the last image of him in my mind was very determined.

In front of him was the street that was gradually being melted by the high temperature, and behind him were his comrades who were evacuating. He turned back, gave me a thumbs up and said the last words to me.

My friends, I wish you a prosperous future.

After that, I never saw him again.

I was taken to a place called Rhodes Island, where there were many boys and girls with different experiences and backgrounds, and they all had a common name.

【Knights of the Ark】

They call me Doctor, but I can do nothing but direct battles, a woman named Serea said to me after one battle.

Your tactics are modern, but your ideas are quite ancient. Who are you?

She asked me who I was, and I couldn't answer her. Maybe I was a person with a mission, or maybe I was just an ordinary person who was forced to inherit a certain will. I don't know.

I'm not even sure if I am me, are my soul and body really the same person?

I used to be a very powerful person, but I knew nothing. The knights of the Ark trusted me and fought according to my command. Can I really lead them to sail this Ark to tomorrow?

At that moment, I had doubts about my existence.

I met a little girl named Turtle in Rhode Island. She suffered from amnesia, which was very similar to me.

Turtle likes to play baseball, but in her room, I accidentally found a windmill folded out of paper. I didn’t know if this windmill had any special meaning to her, and I asked her this question accidentally. .

However, her answer was that she had forgotten.

Maybe windmills are just her hobby.

I also had a deep impression of a little girl named Ifrit in Rhode Island. She was rude and often yelled, but every time she went too far, she would be punished by a medical operator named Hemo.

Ifrit likes charcoal-grilled sandworm legs and candies. There is a mini Christmas tree in her room. I once asked her, what is your dream? Ifrit answered me and said that she wanted to find the country of BBQ.

I don’t know who came up with the name BBQ Country, but I guess it’s someone with extremely bad taste.

On the rooftop of the Rhode Island base, I often see an Aslan girl named Vina. She has blond hair and is a very beautiful person.

I once asked her, what are you looking at?

She answered me that she was looking at the place where the sun rose, where her hometown was, beyond the reach of her sight.

I only know that Wei Na's hometown is in Victoria, but what happened in her hometown, I don't know.

Rhode Island has many operators with different personalities, such as the strict social guest, the casual Lapland, Winter from Ursus, and Cross who squints all day long and speaks incomprehensibly. The distant mountains carry some shining spirits from the past and so on.

Of course, there is also the public leader of Rhode Island, the little rabbit who pulled me out of the sarcophagus, Amiya.

Although everyone likes Rhode Island very much, I know that Amiya’s feelings towards Rhode Island are different from everyone else. She said that she hopes Rhode Island can become everyone’s second home.

She also said that we have lost a lot to get to where we are today. Sometimes I ask myself, is it really worth it?

[The scene I saw that day, the desperate desire to scream but not being able to make a sound, I hope to hide these in the deepest part of my memory forever. 】

I don’t know what kind of scene Amiya had seen, because I don’t remember anything.

In addition to the Rhode Island operators and Amiya, there is another person here that I care about very much. Her name is Kelsey.

She is one of Rhode Island's top managers and the general director of the medical department. She is also Amiya's direct mentor.

Kelsey is an unsmiling person, synonymous with calmness and rationality. I don’t know if her character is innate. Maybe a long, long time ago, she was also a cheerful, lively and laughing girl.

Kelsey said many things to me, but I knew that she would never say what I really wanted to know. What impressed me most was a sentence she said to me accidentally once.

[Are you awake, or are you still dreaming? 】

This feeling is very strange. This situation of talking to each operator seems familiar. I seem to have talked to them in another form and commanded them to fight. However, at that time, between me and them, It seems like something is separated.

Now that I actually chat with them face to face, I feel that everything is extremely real.

However, just like the nature of this world, illusory joy is just a forced smile in a desperate situation. In the story with me as the protagonist, the imperfect ending will eventually come. They call me Doctor, but I know that I am not a Doctor. , I am just an ordinary person who has lost his memory.

The knights of the Ark fight in this dark world.

We have experienced the dark age of despair together, witnessed the entanglement of sibling twins, and witnessed the twisted belief of the second breath. After the conflict of positions completely broke out, Longmen fell into acute failure, and then everyone's joint confrontation was like a target. It hits the point like a drug.

The storm in Longmen has not ended, and there is its law of hustle and bustle. In the various battles that followed, I also heard various secrets in the smoke-filled battlefield, about Ursus, about Lateran, and about Iraq. Fleet's and so on.

Sometimes I have the illusion that what I am experiencing now may not be the only story. Perhaps the same story is being played out in countless parallel worlds, but the protagonist is not me.

As time goes by, I gradually get used to my identity. In this desperate world, I want to lead the knights of the Ark to build a tower leading to the kingdom of heaven. I have always firmly believed in this belief.

Until that day, my faith collapsed.

That is an enemy that I cannot defeat no matter what. We paid an extremely heavy price. I don’t know what the outcome will be, but no matter what, the people who have passed away will never come back again.

At the last moment, that slender figure blocked my way.

The ring on Amiya's finger shattered at the sound, and the Chimera I never wanted to see was reflected in my pupils.

finished?

of course not.

It's not that I can't see the bloody result. It doesn't matter to me whether I win or not. As long as I don't recognize the result, it will never end.

I held back the tears just before they left my eyes.

At that moment, I finally knew who I was.

Those who have passed away will not come back, but as long as I am alive, they have not really passed away.

Just need to get everything back to where it started.
