Chapter 650 The Discoloration...

Shi Sijin, who was being carried, struggled for a couple of moments before completely giving up, having no strength left to struggle any further.

He had planned to rush into the canteen for a hot dinner as soon as he got back to the camp, so apart from that cup of lemon tea, he didn't eat anything else on the way.

As it turned out, the moment he stepped out of the mech bay, before he could even retract the mech, he was dragged away to another location.

What could be so urgent? Why can't they even give us a meal?

"Father, what exactly are you trying to do?" After a brief silence, Shi Sijin couldn't help but turn to look at Marshal Shi behind her.

Marshal Shi, who was walking steadily forward, didn't respond to him. Instead, he turned his head and teased him with a mischievous smile in his eyes, "What? You're not calling me 'old geezer' anymore?"

Shi Sijin's expression froze, "..."

Oh no, that old geezer is holding a grudge!
Marshal Shi looked at his stiff expression, his smile deepened, and a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes.

Shi Sijin's lips moved repeatedly, trying to say something to defend herself and cover up the matter, but she couldn't come up with a suitable explanation after racking her brains for a long time.

In the end, he simply gave up. Anyway, it wouldn't really kill him. Besides, having someone carry him around saved him the effort of walking, which was quite nice.

Marshal Shi was originally waiting to see what tricks he could come up with and to see if he would struggle a bit more, but he saw him completely relax his body and look like he was saying "do whatever you want."

For a moment, Marshal Shi was so angry at his shameless behavior that he laughed, but thinking that he still had things to do later, he shook his head helplessly and ignored him.

The group arrived at the Second Legion's medical department in silence.

As soon as Shi Sijin caught a glimpse of the medical department's logo, she vaguely guessed Marshal Shi's intentions.

After being supported and placed on the metal operating table, he saw five doctors in white coats waiting to examine him, which confirmed his suspicions.

"Ugh... cough, Father, if you want my body data, why don't you just ask? Why make such a big fuss?" Shi Sijin obediently lay down to cooperate, but couldn't help complaining.

That old geezer must be getting revenge for me calling him an old geezer.

"Hmph, if I don't do this, will you obediently come over?" Marshal Shi retorted directly through the transparent wall.

Shi Sijin remained silent when asked the question.

If he hadn't been suddenly brought under control, he would be sitting in the cafeteria enjoying a delicious dinner right now.

While the two were talking, the five doctors in white coats had already taken their positions and started working.

There were people calibrating instruments to detect mental pollution levels, people operating instruments to detect physical pollution data, and others stepping forward to collect blood from Shi Sijin's fingertips, cut hair samples, and so on. Their actions were swift and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

Bai Mianmian's face darkened when she saw Shi Sijin being pressed onto the operating table.

When she saw the people inside drawing her blood and taking her hair, her face turned even uglier, and her aura suddenly became oppressive and heavy, making the surrounding air seem stagnant.

Jiang Ci, who was standing beside her, and Marshal Shi, who was not far away, both turned to look at her at the same time.

"Mianmian, what's wrong? Are you scared? Then let's not watch anymore."

Seeing Bai Mianmian's extremely grim expression, Jiang Ci subconsciously assumed that she was shocked by the scene of the examination inside, so he quickly stood in front of her, blocking her view with his body, his tone full of tension.

Marshal Shi had learned about Bai Mianmian from the information. Seeing her looking at Shi Sijin with a murderous look in her eyes, he noticed a thoughtful expression flashing in her eyes.

With her view blocked and Jiang Ci's voice still ringing in her ears, the chilling killing intent that had been gathering in Bai Mianmian's eyes instantly vanished, and the oppressive aura around her subsided. She looked up at Jiang Ci, who was filled with worry. Although her expression still carried a hint of gloom, she forced a smile and said in a relaxed tone, "I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry. Shall we go get some dinner?"

She wanted to leave. If she had known she would see this scene, she wouldn't have come along.

Jiang Ci looked at the somewhat unnatural smile on her face, asked nothing, and decisively replied, "Okay."

Then, he turned to Marshal Shi and said politely, "Uncle Shi, Mianmian and I are going to eat first. Would you like to come with us?"

Marshal Shi's gaze swept over Bai Mianmian. The moment Jiang Ci's gaze left her, she lowered her head slightly, seemingly lost in thought. She looked somewhat gloomy, completely unlike her previous gentle and quiet self.

Looking at Jiang Ci, Marshal Shi smiled and declined, saying, "No, you guys go ahead if you're hungry. I'll wait for A-Jin."

Putting aside his desire to see Shi Sijin's medical report as soon as possible, given Bai Mianmian's current condition, he still had the sense to know he shouldn't get involved.

“Alright, then we’ll be going.” Jiang Ci nodded readily, showing no intention of trying to persuade Marshal Shi. He then turned to Bai Mianmian and said, “Let’s go.”

"Hmm." Bai Mianmian looked up at Jiang Ci upon hearing this, responded, and walked towards the door.

Jiang Ci immediately followed, naturally taking her hand and walking alongside her.

The moment their palms touched, it felt as if a warm current instantly flowed into Bai Mianmian's heart, soothing the tightness and suffocation in her chest.

Bai Mianmian's gaze, which had been lowered to the ground, quietly lifted and focused on the two people's clasped hands.

As Jiang Ci approached the door, he glanced back at the transparent wall, where Shi Sijin was still being examined by the five doctors in white coats.

Bai Mianmian, who was lost in thought, did not notice Jiang Ci's brief turn of his head.

The two quickly left the examination room.

After the two figures had completely disappeared, Marshal Shi turned his gaze to Shi Sijin, who was lying flat inside, with a somewhat meaningful expression...

"How are you feeling?"

After leaving the medical department, Jiang Ci looked at Bai Mianmian, whose mood was still obviously not high, and asked softly.

At first, he genuinely thought she was frightened, but after carefully observing her expression, he realized there was more to the story.

With Marshal Shi present, he couldn't directly ask her about her personal matters, but now he might be able to ask her more carefully.

"Yeah, it's good." However, Bai Mianmian answered this without even thinking when she heard him say this.

Jiang Ci stopped and turned to stand face to face with Bai Mianmian. His dark, deep eyes were fixed on her alone, as if he wanted to see right through her.

"I just remembered some unpleasant memories, but I'm really fine now." Bai Mianmian, who had been forced to stop, couldn't help but explain under his gaze.

Jiang Ci's gaze suddenly darkened.

Some not-so-good memories!
What kind of bad memories could have made her have the thought of destroying everything around her in that instant?

And who made Mianmian suffer again!

In that instant, the chilling aura surrounding Jiang Ci was even stronger than that surrounding Bai Mianmian just now.
