Ark Chess Player

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, warm and comforting, making his limbs and bones cheer. Lin Lu couldn't help but squint his eyes.

The gentle evening breeze caressed his face, which bore the sharp marks of a slap, as if comforting him.

"Hmph! This isn't a place just anyone can come and go as they please!"

A playful and adorable child's voice came from very close by.

Lin Lu turned his head and saw that Dr. Warfarin, a white-haired Sarkaz physician who looked like a child, was also there.

The two of them were hanging together on the bridge of the Rhodes Island ship, suspended in the air, about ten stories above the deck.

If they fall, there's probably no chance of rescue.

But clearly, neither of these two people were normal, because they were chatting and laughing together.

Lin Lu's hands were tied behind his back, and he was lost in thought like a piece of cured meat, while his legs swung back and forth leisurely.

Warfarin was different; she was a veteran of countless battles. The bridge of Rhodes Island was her other bedroom, and she'd hang a sign every few days.

"What a rare guest! Doctor, what brings you to this scenic spot? Most people don't have the chance to enjoy this place. Are you comfortable?"

"Warfarin asked curiously, her ruby-like eyes brimming with undisguised curiosity, her long, straight hair fluttering in the wind."

She showed no awareness of being tied to the bridge and even swayed leisurely and smugly.

"Let me think about it..."

Lin Lu blinked. He remembered… that's right, because of Operator Specter's loss of control, he went to the ward to check on her. Later, he discovered that part of Specter's mental breakdown stemmed from her nun's habit, so he helped tear open the girl's clothes… As he tore, he got tired and couldn't resist the drowsiness… and fell asleep holding the girl?

It seems that's not the point.

"I remember now!!"

Lin Lu suddenly raised his face, which was covered with slap marks. Having almost had his memory erased (physically), he managed to recall what had happened thanks to his extraordinary stubbornness.

Kal'tsit and Amiya have entered the hospital room!

In the chaotic fragments of memory, the berserk Amiya's two rings emitted black light, and countless chains emerged to hang him up and beat him.

Kal'tsit looked at the water stains on and under the bed, the torn nun's habit, and a soaked white woman's undergarment... She felt a surge of anger rush to her head, her eyes turned red, and she slapped Lin Lu twice before storming out of the ward.

Lin Lu, whose consciousness was in a daze, was dragged to the bridge by Amiya with black chains and hung there like a salted fish. Her technique was so skillful that it was impossible to tell how many times she had done it before.

"What is it? What is it?!"

Warfarin said with great interest, she was naturally excited because she had finally found a comrade-in-arms who had been hung on a tree branch in the southeast.

"It's just a misunderstanding, nothing to mention."

Lin Lufeng said calmly, but his words still revealed his aggrieved feelings.

He was clearly doing a good deed, so why was he brutally beaten?

What's wrong with doing good deeds! Are you trying to stop people from doing good deeds?!

"Say it, say it."

Warfarin spoke in a slightly coquettish tone, so sweet it sent shivers down her spine; it was clear she was genuinely curious.

Lin Lu, unable to resist her persistent pestering, asked helplessly, "Do you know about ghost sharks?"

"Yes, I know..."

Warfarin's expression changed, and she awkwardly shifted her gaze, her swaying body becoming somewhat unnatural.

Lin Lu said calmly, "She lost control."

"Huh?" Warfarin's eyes widened. "I haven't even made a move yet!"

"What did you say? The wind was too strong, I didn't hear you."

"No, no, no! Please continue, please continue."

Warfarin smiled sheepishly, while nervously clenching her little hands.

Lin Lu calmly said, "I rescued her from being out of control."

"what?!"

Warfarin looked at the doctor in disbelief, her tone becoming more serious.

"Their methods were a bit rough, and Kal'tsit got angry when she saw it," Lin Lu said, sounding aggrieved. He had clearly exercised his utmost restraint, and nothing else was even going to happen, yet he was attacked by the mother and daughter together. He felt wronged, indescribably wronged. He muttered, "And what about you? What did you do?"

"I……"

Warfarin looked away, somewhat embarrassed.

"I was thinking of letting Kal'tsit rest... so I thought I'd borrow some blood from Specter to do some experiments... hehehe."

"..."

Lin Lu thought to himself, if he flew over and kicked Hua Falin right now, could he kick her all the way to the Dragon Gate?

Chapter Seventy-Nine Pre-employment Medical Examination

"Doctor, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you."

Amiya bowed her head to apologize to Lin Lu, her long rabbit ears drooping down, her little face full of guilt.

Kal'tsit was almost driven to faint by Lin Lu's anger. She barely managed to pull herself together and perform a physical examination on the sleeping Specter.

As she continued to examine the items, she noticed something was amiss.

Aside from its excessively high body temperature and the distinctive scent of a woman during intercourse, the ghost shark showed no other signs of abnormality.

Her chest was slightly red, but there were no bruises on the rest of her body, and most importantly, there were no signs of friction or any unidentified secretions in her private parts.

Kal'tsit pried open Specter's lips with her fingers and fanned herself with her other hand from a distance, but Specter's breath did not emit the scent of heather. Kal'tsit couldn't help but check the dark room again, and the most important bed contained nothing but sweat and strange seawater.

Lin Lu really did nothing.

No, he definitely got the better deal, but he hasn't reached home plate yet.

Kal'tsit felt a little embarrassed, but she also felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.

Because when she angrily pushed open the door, the two of them were sleeping in bed!

Nestled in Lin Lu's arms, Ghost Shark was completely naked, looking utterly content. On the other hand, although Lin Lu was still wearing his light green hospital gown, making it somewhat possible to say they weren't completely naked in each other's embrace, Lin's "tool" was still perfectly erect!

If Lin Lu were conscious, he might still be able to use his silver tongue to argue his way out of trouble. However, he had overexerted his mental energy while extracting the unknown substance and couldn't resist falling asleep from exhaustion. He was already recovering from a serious illness and needed rest.

Kal'tsit didn't care about anything else; it was as if a grassland was sprouting from her head. Amiya, who was following behind her, revealed a terrifying smile and then suddenly exploded.

Thus, the scene of Lin Lü being hung on a southeast branch came about.

"...Never mind, you didn't do it on purpose anyway."

Lin Lu raised his hand and rubbed Amiya's head, sighing helplessly.

Even if he figured out the reason behind it, he would never be angry with Amiya.

After being hung on the bridge for three hours, Lin Lu and Hua Falin were finally taken down.

"Warfarin, repent," Kal'tsit said calmly.

"I...I've reformed, Lady Kal'tsit, have mercy, sob sob."

Shivering from the cold, Warfarin wrapped herself in a blanket, her hands trembling as she held a hot drink, her eyes brimming with tears. She looked like a wayward girl rescued by the police, now drinking hot water in a detention center, her face bearing a look of regret that said, "I'll never do it again."

If Lin Lu hadn't had such a pleasant conversation with her on the bridge, she might have almost believed her lies.

Warfarin felt no shame in the persecution she suffered; rather, she was proud. Each time she failed and was captured, ruthlessly hung on the bridge to watch the sunrise, a sense of mission would well up within her. These were sacrifices she made for scientific research; they were her medals and her honor.

However, Warfarin did not expect to make such a big blunder this time.

While Kal'tsit was resting and no one was watching her, Warfarin had originally intended to have Specter bleed out of the Agor deep-sea hunters by holding an ice bucket, hoping to use it to study whether there was anything special about them. However, as soon as she stepped into the ward, PRTS's intelligence alert sounded, and the sensitive cameras immediately captured Warfarin's panicked expression, providing both witness testimony and physical evidence.

The drowsy Ghost Shark was thus awakened. Upon waking, she was overwhelmed by the voice in her head, which indirectly led to her losing control.

This is why Warfarin was placed on the bridge.

Platinum, a sniper operator belonging to the SWEEP squad directly under Kal'tsit's command, captured the criminal Warfarin on the spot, almost complaining that she always appears during raids on prostitutes.

"you……"

Kal'tsit glanced at the nonchalant Lin Lu, a struggle flashing in her emerald eyes, but she still said, "You can't wear this outfit anymore, change into something else, here are some new clothes."

Lin Lu's hospital gown was badly worn after being chained and played with by Amiya. After being hung on the bridge exposed to the wind and sun, it was practically falling apart at the slightest touch. The worst part was that Lin Lu wasn't wearing anything underneath; he didn't even have men's underwear.

Yes, he spent the whole day without a bra, and while hanging on the bridge, he truly experienced what it meant to feel the wind between his legs.

So much so that Platinum, the sniper operator who was yawning and complaining, "This is so boring, can't something interesting happen?", saw something she shouldn't have seen.

At that moment, she was leaning against the edge of the deck to relieve her fatigue. After hearing faint conversations coming from afar, she subconsciously looked towards Lin Lu, who was hanging on the bridge.

After squinting and staring for five minutes, she slowly covered her flushed cheeks and sat on the ground, questioning her existence.

Of course, these are all for later.

"Kal'tsit, how did you know my size?"

Lin Lu pulled out a pair of floral boxer shorts from the pile of clothes. They were the same style as Hino Eiji's, with chrysanthemums on them. He felt that he could get through tomorrow.

"puff!!"

Warfarin, who was drinking water, suddenly spat it out and coughed violently. It was unclear whether she choked or what, but her cheeks turned completely red.

Amiya suddenly raised her head, her dejection vanishing, and wrote down the measurements.

"...Let's go get something."

Kal'tsit said calmly, seemingly unaffected, as she pushed Amiya's back with one hand and carried Warfarin, who couldn't help but chuckle, away from the medical room with the other.

Lin Lu turned around and watched as the door closed completely, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Although he didn't fully trust Kal'tsit, their mutual understanding was something no one else could achieve.

He didn't want to take off his tattered hospital gown in front of Amiya, and Kal'tsit didn't want Amiya to see Lin Lu's battered and bruised body.

The way Lin Lu and Kal'tsit, like an old married couple, cooperated was to avoid revealing the cruel reality to their child.

Parents often block out all the darkness just so their children can stand in the sunlight.

Lin Lu muttered to himself, "Apart from the floral shorts, the rest are quite nice."

White shirt, black vest, long trousers, dark belt, and a black tie.
