Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

Dr. Parks projected the last set of test data onto the screen, his brow furrowed.

"Your Excellency, the ingredient analysis shows that this potion does indeed contain several active ingredients that can affect the mental sea, but..."

He pointed to several unknown items marked in red, "These items are not recorded in the existing database at all, and the origins of items from the Starshine Auction have always been mysterious. They may be from some illegal laboratory, or even... products of the black market."

He turned to Lin Luo, his tone extremely serious: "I strongly advise against you or Major General Ailand using it; the risks are completely uncontrollable."

Lin Luo stared silently at the vial of dark blue potion, his gaze deep, before finally offering only a faint reply:

"I understand, Doctor. I will consider it carefully. You don't need to worry too much."

Then, Lin Luo picked up the medicine and left the medical room.

Back home, silence enveloped him once again.

Lin Luo entered the bedroom and came to Ailand's bedside.

Ailand had been unconscious for far too long, so long that Lin Luo felt he was being driven mad by this hopeless wait, and even began to place his hopes on this mysterious thing.

He reached out his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the outline of Eland's thinner figure, a pang of sorrow welling up in his heart.

He slowly bent down, pressed his forehead against Ailand's, closed his eyes, and began to transmit his mental energy as usual.

Driven by instinct, the fragments of Ailand's mind rushed back to the sea of ​​consciousness, greedily absorbing this warm power.

A moment later, Lin Luo opened his eyes and propped himself up slightly.

He looked at Eland sleeping peacefully, his face as compliant as ever, as if he would not resist anything done to him.

A mixture of long-term repression, anxiety, and a certain inexplicable possessiveness suddenly overwhelmed reason at this moment.

He moved closer again as if possessed, and with a punitive intent, bit down hard on Ailand's lower lip, so hard that he almost instantly tasted a faint metallic taste of blood.

Meanwhile, within the sea of ​​consciousness, the fragments of Ailand's consciousness were busy digesting the massive influx of energy.

Meanwhile, the core of Ailand's consciousness suddenly sensed a sharp pain coming from the outside world, as well as an even more turbulent torrent of mental energy that was almost scorching hot!

What happened outside?! What's wrong with Lord Lin Luo?!

He anxiously tried to break free of his restraints to check the situation, but the remaining fragments of his instinctive spirit had transformed into a gluttonous beast, stubbornly remaining rooted to the spot, and nothing could stop it from eating!

Ayland tried to break through several times, but was blocked each time. His consciousness was trapped in the core. He clearly sensed the abnormality in the outside world, but was powerless to do anything about it and could only sulk alone.

In reality, Lin Luo opened his mouth and looked at the clear, blood-tinged teeth mark on Ailand's lower lip, and his still oblivious sleeping face.

He should have felt guilty, but for some reason, he found this side of Ailand more pleasing to the eye. Lin Luo suddenly felt that he might also be a little "sick".

-------

Morning light shone through the gauze curtains. After a night of "feasting," the fragments of Ailand's spirit were temporarily satiated and swayed as they attached themselves to Lin Luo, allowing his main consciousness to finally "see" the outside world clearly.

He first checked Lin Luo's condition—the prince was sleeping peacefully beside him, his arms wrapped around him, breathing evenly.

Eland breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed that the brief anomaly last night had not caused any serious consequences.

His consciousness then settled down, quietly sketching Lin Luo's sleeping face so close to his.

Lin Luo stirred in a daze, unconsciously rubbing her cheek against Ailand's shoulder and neck in a dependent manner.

He was wearing silk pajamas, and one of his long, slender, white legs unconsciously rose and casually rested on Elland's leg.

Ailand "watched" Lin Luo's eyelashes tremble slightly as he woke up, feeling both tender and anxious. He hated that he could only lie there like a piece of wood, unable to respond, and even more unable to hold the unsuspecting male insect in his arms tightly.

"Ahem, no, even if I'm awake, I can't offend Your Excellency!" Eland quickly corrected his dangerous thoughts.

Lin Luo woke up, rubbed her eyes, and got up to wash and dress.

Just then, a creaking sound came from the doorway, accompanied by a familiar whimpering sound.

He opened the door, and Gun Gun, who had grown quite a bit, immediately pounced into his arms like a black and white cannonball. Its fluffy head rubbed against his chest, whimpering with a hint of grievance, as if accusing Lin Luo of being "heartless" for locking him out.

Lin Luo was jolted back a step by its pounce, then laughed and sat down on the carpet, hugging the heavy "little bear cub" and coaxing it gently:

"Alright, alright, didn't I let you in? But when it's time to sleep, you have to go back to your own bed, understand? That's what a good child does."

The panda was clearly not having any of it, and continued to whine and paw at him, as if it were arguing its case.

Lin Luo laughed, reached out and scratched its chin, then deliberately ruffled the fur on its head. The two of them soon burst into laughter and play on the carpet.

"Ding-dong! A guest has arrived."

The smart home assistant's notification sound abruptly shattered this warm atmosphere.

Lin Luo paused, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.

Who could it be at this time?

He patted the panda's bottom to signal it to behave, then straightened his pajamas and got up to open the door.

The moment the door opened, the relaxed smile on Lin Luo's face froze.

Standing outside the door was a group of unfamiliar insects, led by an elderly female insect with an extremely serious face, dressed in a crisp doctor's uniform. Behind him were several female insects with equally stern expressions, carrying or pushing various sophisticated medical devices.

Lin Luo frowned slightly, his tone wary and puzzled: "Who are you?"

The leading elderly female insect stepped forward and gave a perfectly executed salute:

"Lord Linluo, good day. We are a special assessment team from the Imperial Medical Department, responsible for assessing the health status of generals who have been unable to perform their duties for an extended period due to serious injuries, in order to determine whether they are still qualified to return to the battlefield. This is our identification information; please take a look."

As he spoke, he deftly pulled up his official StarNet certification information and showed it to Lin Luo.

"Health assessment?" Lin Luo repeated the word, the slight relief he had built up that morning instantly vanishing, and his heart slowly sank.
