Ark Chess Player

It was his duty; if anything went wrong unexpectedly, he had the responsibility and obligation to stand on the front line with his own body.

This is the significance of heavy-armored operators.

Lin Lu slowly stopped laughing, and as if to appease him, Ghost Shark's maniacal laughter also gradually subsided.

Soon, silence completely enveloped the surroundings, as if a thin layer of black shadows was moving along the walls, swallowing up the light.

The hard-won tranquility returned to Rhodes Island, but for some reason, the heavy-armored operator felt uneasy. He would rather the two of them laughed louder than this deathly silence. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely felt a slippery and wet sensation on his back. He instinctively patted his back, but there was nothing there.

"You wait here. If I don't come out on my own in thirty minutes, prepare the medicine."

Lin Lu slowly turned around and said, his cobalt blue eyes containing a chilling glint, as if they could pierce through everything.

The mere eye contact was enough to make the heavy-armored operator's knees go weak, as if she were being watched by some giant beast.

"Yes!" he shouted immediately.

The white-faced owl lowered its head slightly: "Program activated, obey commands."

Neither of the two people present had participated in the Chernobog rescue operation, and even the White Owl had only seen a side of Lin Lu that differed slightly from the information.

Even now, seeing Lin Lu serious, a sense of obedience instantly wells up in their hearts.

There was no option other than to submit.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Ghost Shark

Lin Lu took a deep breath, turned around and stepped into the ward, closing the door behind him.

The room was dimly lit, and one could vaguely sense that the walls were damp, almost dripping with water, despite the dry weather. Lin Lu was barefoot, and his bare feet felt a thin layer of grit on the ground, clearly from something being smashed into powder.

A cobalt blue glow appeared in Lin Lu's eyes, allowing him to see clearly even in the dark.

This private hospital room contained only the most basic living furniture and medical equipment; there were no plants, potted plants, or any small decorations to enhance the mood. However, judging from the messy floor, this was clearly normal; no amount of stuff could possibly be enough for the out-of-control ghost shark to squander.

The heavy curtains completely blocked out the remaining light in the room, and Lin Lu realized that there were no lights in the room at all.

This is a secluded room.

Perhaps because he had spent a long time lying in a stone coffin, Lin Lu didn't dislike this dark and quiet environment; in fact... he felt somewhat at ease. If Ghost Shark didn't mind, he would even like to share a bed with him.

Because the woman sitting on the still-unfinished bed was incredibly beautiful.

Her long, greyish-white hair cascaded freely down her back, and her blood-red eyes shone brightly even in the dim light of the room. The uniquely designed nun's habit failed to serve its intended purpose; instead, it accentuated her curvaceous figure to the fullest. A long, gold pendant chain adorned her ample bosom, and her alluring thighs were exposed beneath the openwork skirt. Her long, slender legs, encased in black stockings, were slightly raised, her feet, clad only in thin stockings, pointing directly at Lin Lu.

Divinity and allure are intertwined, giving her a unique, bewitching beauty.

Like an apple exuding a sweet aroma, even if you are repeatedly warned not to pick it, you still can't resist its temptation. Ordinary people simply cannot take their eyes off her, and those with weak wills may not even be able to keep their breathing steady in her presence, wavering between piety and depravity.

Lin Lu maintained his smile, but a sense of vigilance quietly rose in his heart.

Even when he was still at the door of the ward, he sensed a strange yet familiar presence inside.

It was a very weak idea, barely a wisp of light, seemingly on the verge of extinction, yet it exuded a strong sense of danger.

Most importantly... Lin Lu's data-driven spiritual domain failed to read any data from the Ghost Shark.

The last time this happened was with Talulah.

"You look pretty good. Indeed, girls who smile a lot are usually lucky."

Lin Lu glanced at her, then slowly spoke, trying to use conversation to ascertain her situation.

A person's mental state may be concealed by their appearance and expression, but their speech cannot be perfectly polished. After all, if the words of someone with a mental disorder could still be logical and rational, then who would be normal?

Unless the whole world is wrong and the right one is a madman.

"Ha ha……"

Ghost Shark gazed at Lin Lu, his bright eyes slightly narrowed.

She smiled, a smile that was incredibly charming, possessing both the innocence of a young girl and the lingering grace of a mature woman.

"Thanks to you, I feel very satisfied now."

Ghost Shark's voice was incredibly soft, like cotton candy—light, airy, and sweet. It was impossible to imagine that the previous unrestrained, arrogant laughter had come from her swan-like, white neck. Her gaze remained fixed on Lin Lu's chest, her smile growing even more radiant.

"I haven't done anything yet."

Lin Lu wanted to adjust his belt and speak confidently, but he found nothing and could only awkwardly adjust his belt to hide his embarrassment.

There was nothing he could do; he wasn't wearing pants, just a loose hospital gown.

Is that so?

Ghost Shark tilted its head slightly and patted the clean bed.

“You can come over and do something now…” she said, with a faint smile on her face.

"Okay."

Lin Lu responded with a fake smile.

He had to admit that a slight ripple did stir in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

Lin could honestly admit, with a straight face, that he was a lecherous man, that he simply lusted after women. But even in the most unbearable circumstances, he could maintain his integrity and persevere on his path. He would never prey on minors, never prey on married women, and never prey on insane women.

The more beautifully Ghost Shark smiled, the more wary Lin Lu became.

A woman once earnestly advised her son that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

...Although her son was eventually completely manipulated by the two beautiful women.

Lin Lu quietly compressed his spiritual domain to the size of this private hospital room, thereby reducing the amount of information that needed filtering, improving accuracy, and reducing his mental burden. Without the Ark Driver, his combat power would still be somewhat limited, and he was unwilling to activate Ibitas's Star Ring unless absolutely necessary.

He did not trust Ibitas.

You could even say he didn't trust the anemone.

Beneath layers of disguise, Lin Lu's true feelings are that he only trusts two people.

Amiya and the Kingslayer.

Lin Lu's body seemed to be programmed with a line of code; even if he were to fire a gun at them, the bullets would absolutely, unconditionally, and inevitably avoid them. Even if he tried to harm them with a weapon, the blade would slash elsewhere against his will, but would never cut a single strand of their hair.

Even Kal'tsit isn't in this category.

Even though Lin Lu felt a strong liking for Kal'tsit after waking up, he still held back and was unable to fully entrust himself to her.

Lin Lu sat casually on the bed, very close to Ghost Shark, almost within reach, and could even feel its body temperature.

Before Lin Lu could even speak, he seemed to sense something, his body became heavy, as if an invisible hand was pressing on his shoulders, pushing and kneading him until he fell onto the bed.

Lin Lu's gaze shifted to the ceiling as his body swayed unnaturally, and incredibly, he saw stars.

The false stars were reflected on the ceiling, the dim, obscure starry sky filling my vision, visible only when lying in bed like this. This was clearly not a good thing; this eerie arrangement was like an altar, exuding an extremely cold and sinister aura, giving the impression that the person lying on it was a sacrifice.

...It seems he really was a sacrifice?

Lin Lu suddenly realized something was wrong; he couldn't move his limbs and was being suppressed by an invisible force.

Now that things have come to this, what power can suppress him?

Therefore, there is only one answer.

Ibitas, your relatives are visiting!

Chapter 75 Amiya, I remember now!

"So impatient?"

Ghost Shark smiled slightly, a charming smile that could stir the heart of every man in the world.

Judging from her smile, even if they're not a long-married couple, they're at least live-in girlfriends.

Ghost Shark pulled her legs back onto the bed in an extremely alluring manner, swaying her head slightly, her soft, gray-white hair flowing like a waterfall.

The girl slowly approached him, her graceful figure swaying, and Lin Lu could vaguely smell a fragrance.

Wuhu! Take off!

Lin Lu was initially happy to be able to feast his eyes on the SVIP seats, but then he was frightened by a remark from Ghost Shark.

"You have a particularly pleasant scent."

Ghost Shark licked her lips, raised her hand slightly, and gently stroked Lin Lu's cheek with her long, slender, and fair fingers.

Lin Lu's face stiffened.

He hadn't forgotten how happily a big cat and a rabbit had gnawed on his hands and head this morning.

At the time, he even joked that maybe he was the best dessert for them.

"She's going to eat people!"

Lin Lu cried out in his heart, his initial lust vanishing under the weight of his survival instinct. He glanced at the ceiling, carefully observing this illusory starry sky. The best way to escape his predicament was to start from this point. As long as he could move, with those hands that could make women obey... Ugh, how could you put it so harshly?

As long as he can move, he can awaken the conscience in the ghost shark's heart with love and peace!

I can just give you something else to eat!

Do you want some Want Want Shaved Ice?

Long, gray-white hair fell onto Lin Lu's face, and the Ghost Shark's eyes obscured his vision, preventing him from continuing to analyze the illusory starry sky.

Ghost Shark closed his eyes and lowered his head, almost kissing his cheek.

Unfortunately, the suggestive plot of the short film did not materialize.

Their foreheads were almost touching. Ghost Shark took a deep breath, like someone trying to quit smoking taking one last drag, feeling lightheaded and slightly tipsy.

"Heh, heh heh... hehehe..."

She let out a chilling laugh, her slender, jade-like fingers moving downwards, tracing a path from Lin Lu's cheek to his neck, finally touching his throat. A substance far deeper than the surrounding darkness seeped from her nun's habit, clinging to the spot where Lin Lu had spoken, like a layer of black tape.

"What exactly are you?" Ghost Shark asked, his tone somewhat languid.

"I……"

Lin Lu's voice changed slightly, and then he said involuntarily, "I was originally an upright and good young man who was luring ignorant elites to a paradise in Afghanistan, a good leader of the Army Without Borders, and a caring big brother in the mercenary world. Until one day, in order to save countless lost ship girls, I decided to become an admiral."

"On my way to the harbor, I got caught up in the conflict between Griffin Dolls and Ironblood Works and was forced to become a temporary commander. While fighting those crazy women, I realized that humanity has its limits, so I decided to give up being human! I started learning Onmyodo and became an Onmyoji who was keen on playing cards. However, my abuse of magic eventually led to my fellow Daoists, who couldn't stand losing, reporting me relentlessly, causing the world line to collapse and freeze in the eternal Seven-Day Capital."

"In order to save humanity from collapse, I accepted the invitation of a perverted eggplant who was even more lewd than me and became a Master. When I ate Barbatos raw and tore Goetia apart, thinking that everything had settled down, all I wanted to do was go back to my paradise and continue my work as a human trafficker. This world is too chaotic, the city is too murky, and the country roads are slippery."
