Even if Amiya strictly forbids gossiping about others after discovering the matter, the rumors won't disappear. The more she tries to stop them, the more likely the rumors will escalate into even more outrageous directions.

Having grasped the principle that guidance is worse than suppression, Amiya was inspired. She cleverly organized the truthful yet harmless aspects of the rumors and disseminated them through a wider network of connections. As a result, the rumors that circulated afterward lost their negative connotations and instead emphasized Skadi's abilities and anecdotes about her past as a bounty hunter, reducing any malicious intent.

This is a small step for Amiya, but a giant leap for her as a member of society.

That day, Amiya understood what it meant to control public opinion, and she also understood what it meant for the general public to only have a seven-day memory.

When the hype surrounding an event fades, or when a new, more influential event emerges, what happened before is quickly forgotten.

By constantly shifting topics and whittling down attention, even mistakes can be covered up and disappear from public view if used properly.

Amidst the layers of rumors, what many operators don't know is that... Skadi initiated the attack to better protect her teammates and keep them from danger. This clumsy girl always hides her gentle side beneath a taciturn expression, using her actions to protect those around her.

At this moment, the operators in the bar all expressed their deep respect for the Doctor.

In the minds of these uninformed ordinary operators, Skadi's image is similar to that of a natural disaster.

The Doctor is a man who can control natural disasters!

They used to idolize the doctor; now they see him as their god.

—Strange worship has increased!

"...I will not apologize for forgetting the past; I don't think I did anything wrong."

Lin Lu did not withdraw his left hand, which Skadi had been carefully studying. Instead, he grasped Skadi's palm and placed his right hand on top of it.

"However, I can still lend you a helping hand now. I hope that when you encounter difficulties, you will not hesitate to ask me for help directly."

Lin Lu sensed the loneliness and sadness in Skadi's evasive eyes. As the doctor of Rhodes Island, he could not bear to watch his operator suffer.

Skadi lowered her long, delicate eyelashes, gazing at her tightly clenched hand, and murmured, "...Even Rhodes Island would struggle to withstand this danger, can you save me?"

"Rhodes Island will not abandon any operator. When you need me, no matter where you are, I will find you."

Lin Lu revealed an arrogant smile that looked down on all the heroes. He knew what it meant to say those words, but he did not regret it.

If Skadi needs a hero, why can't it be him?

Lin Lu will never forget Skadi's hug.

In the fourth-floor shower room, the girl pinned him against the wall in the corner, fierce like a wounded beast.

Water droplets dampened Skadi's soft, long hair, and her gaze was so sharp, as if she wanted to superimpose Lin Lu's face onto the blurred outline in her memory.

She was confirming, confirming again and again. Memories flooded back like a tide; images of Lin Lu played in her mind like a movie, scene after scene. Emotions were building, her heart was racing, and finally, she couldn't help but hug Lin Lu tightly, afraid it was just an illusion, afraid it was just another dream. When she woke up, she would have nothing again.

In a tight embrace, the joy of a long-awaited reunion, the despair of searching for many years and almost giving up, so many sorrows and joys spread, drowning Lin Lu in the sea of ​​Skadi.

Lin Lu listened to her heartbeat, immersed in her world, like the only human in the world encountering a lost orca, and they nestled together.

This is why Lin Lu endured the phantom pain to come to the bar with Skadi, and why he insisted on buying her a mojito that he had personally made.

"Found you, Ritsu."

That's what Skadi said at the time.

Then, didn't Lin Lu also find her?

Chapter 142 She's Going to Suck People!

When Lin Lu and Skadi walked out of the bar, they were both reeking of alcohol.

After receiving Lin Lu's affirmative answer, Skadi was initially confused, but quickly felt relieved.

Because Lin Lu held her hand the whole time, he had that kind of strength. Just his mere presence made her feel at ease.

Since Lin Lu was only wearing a hospital gown and hadn't brought his ID card, he couldn't pay for the drinks. Skadi, without saying a word, took out her savings and bought all the strongest drinks in the bar. The two raised their cups of "life-giving water," which could be ignited, and drank them down in one gulp, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

On this day, most operators' impressions of Skadi changed.

Skadi wasn't as terrifying as the rumors suggested, like a natural disaster. She could laugh, and she could display a captivating and alluring charm, but she only showed that expression to the Doctor. This reassured the ordinary operators; it turned out they were simply unworthy of her. Thank goodness.

"Her... she's called Ghost Shark now, right? Why is she dressed as a nun? Hmm? She's lost her memory too? This is troublesome..."

Skadi staggered alongside Lin Lu. She had always had a high alcohol tolerance, and even strong liquor was like a beverage to her.

Perhaps because she was in a good emotional state, she felt at ease and let down her guard.

The wine didn't intoxicate, but the person was already drunk; the white-haired girl's ruby-red eyes became hazy.

“Law, you have to help her. We can’t let her forget her real responsibilities.”

"I can help, I must help. I, Lin, often help beautiful women and people who can't go home."

Lin Lu let out a burp. He was now completely red from drinking too much alcohol, which his digestive system couldn't break down and absorb. He was sweating profusely despite the cold weather.

"She's here...she'll be alright."

Lin Lu shook his head. Double images appeared before his eyes, and he felt as if he were floating on clouds, his steps faltering.

Even though my mouth can still speak and my thoughts can still clearly appear in my mind, my body won't obey me.

"Skadi, where's your room? I'll take you back...Skadi? Skadi?"

Lin Lu turned his head and found that Skadi, who had fallen asleep at some point, had her face pressed against the wall and was slowly sliding down.

"This Titi is such a loser! Haha... Ouch, it's quite heavy."

Lin Lu chuckled and reached out to hug Skadi's slender waist, carrying her back to his room.

Back at the door of the private ward, Lin Lu barely managed to concentrate and open it, then helped the rather heavy Skadi inside.

"--etc!"

At this moment, Lin Lu, whose rationality suddenly returned a little, blinked and felt that he might be doing something very serious.

Just as Lin Lu was hesitating, Skadi, who had opened her eyes halfway, had already hugged his waist.

Due to inertia, Lin Lu's back slammed into the steel hatch.

"boom--"

It hurts so much.

Lin Lu felt like he had been hit by a speeding truck. No wonder the bathroom wall cracked when Skadi pinned him against it, and he was almost embedded in the hatch!

"Hiss...Titi?"

Lin Lu's lips twitched. His survival instinct made him instinctively want to push Skadi away, but under the influence of alcohol, his body honestly betrayed his thoughts.

Under this extremely soft, almost violent embrace, Lin Lu, who was feeling hot all over, immediately had a physiological reaction, which was only natural.

Unlike the embrace of a long-awaited reunion, Skadi's eyes were full of aggression at this moment, like the gaze of someone hunting a prey.

"Can you really use the infrastructure skill that restores your mood every hour when you move into the dormitory like this?! You're amazing, Happy Little Orca!"

Lin Lu wanted to shout it out loud, but his voice was suppressed.

Because Skadi quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, just like a girlfriend being affectionate, it was a cute and playful gesture.

Unfortunately, reality is often harsh.

Skadi's slender arms unleashed unimaginable power. Lin Lu seemed to hear the explosive sound of the Wild Driver being shattered at his neck, feeling as if he had just been thrashed and struck by the Signal Axe.

Lin Lu was nearly killed by Skadi in one blow. After regaining the connection between his head and neck, he finally regained consciousness.

"Sniff sniff... Hehehe."

Skadi nestled her cheek against Lin Lu's shoulder, her nose twitching slightly, giving the feeling of a cat lover burying their face in a cat's fluffy belly and sucking on it.

In fact, that's exactly what she did.

Under the influence of alcohol, Skadi's eyes became glazed, and she took a step closer to Lin Lu.

Skadi's cool lips enveloped Lin Lu's neck, and she instinctively sucked on his lips, leaving a crimson mark.

The more hickeys appeared on her neck, back of her neck, and chin, the more unsatisfied she felt; she didn't want it to end there.

Skadi squinted, searching for the next landing spot along the top of Lin Lu's neck.

Lin Lu's lips, cheeks, nose, ears, eyes, forehead... all bear her marks.

"Haa...ha...mmm...mmm..."

Heavy breathing echoed in Lin Lu's ears, his breath heavy and labored, and the sound of him swallowing his excessive saliva could be heard from time to time.

Lin Lu's regained rationality was instantly extinguished. He wasn't exactly a saint either; could something that was consensual be considered a bad thing?!

A real man should drive a big car and dare to take a step towards the arms of a woman!

Tonight will be the moment of growth!

Regardless of whether he grew up with Kal'tsit before, now, Lin's magma is about to erupt!

Lin Lu stroked Skadi's back with both hands, following the beautiful curves to grasp her round, snowy buttocks, his slender fingers returning a feeling of fullness and elasticity.

Skadi straightened up as if she had been electrocuted, and this movement made her unconsciously increase the strength of her hands, pulling Lin Lu step by step to the only large bed in the private ward.

The moment the two lay down on the bed, immersed in the crimson atmosphere, they could not hear the loud groans and protests emanating from the four-cornered bed, which was bearing a weight it could not bear in its life.

Just as Skadi groggily rolled over and pinned Lin Lu beneath her, the sturdy stainless steel bed let out a muffled groan and collapsed heavily.

Trapped under the collapsed non-combustible debris, Lin Lu had full and comprehensive contact with Skadi, and he finally understood what it meant to be lured by lust.

With a series of mournful cries emanating from his entire body, Lin Lu nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if he was about to be crushed into kitchen waste by her.

"Titi...you should lose weight."

Lin Lu's vision went black, and he lost consciousness on the spot.

The last scene that came into view was a drunken Skadi resting her head on his chest, a satisfied smile on her face as if she had been sucking him up.

Chapter 143 The Corpse Is Talking?

Lin Lu slowly opened his eyes, and pure white came into view, as gentle as sunlight without being dazzling.

He slowly raised his limp hand to rub his slightly reddened eyes, yawned, and propped up his creaking upper body.

I feel like I had a great dream. In the dream, he was crushed by the wheels of history, and after being crushed, he felt his soul was elevated and he gained a lot of knowledge.

"……Um?"

Lin Lu felt that the ceiling seemed a little higher than before. Something was wrong...
