Ark Chess Player.

Lin Lu said calmly, the self in that blurry memory seemed to overlap with the present, the only difference being... the person he was confiding in had changed.

Who was I saying this to back then?

Just as Lin Lu was experiencing inexplicable palpitations, he found his legs becoming heavy.

Looking down, he saw that he had acquired a new leg accessory: a disheveled Wu Lian was hugging his leg.

Given her height, she could easily bury her face below Lin Lu's abdomen.

"Amiya! If you don't let go of me, something terrible is going to happen! That child is looking for a thermometer! Let go of me! HA NA SE!!"

Lin Lu shouted suddenly, but Amiya seemed not to hear him. She hugged him tightly and fell silent, pondering the meaning of the doctor's words.

"Amiya? Amiya! My zipper's undone! Amiya! She's coming out! Someone, someone help me! I'm being molested!"

"What's all the noise about? Can't you be quiet at night?"

Kal'tsit frowned as she walked into the medical room, and she could hear Lin Lu's useless voice all the way down the corridor.

"--hiss."

Kal'tsit slowly held her breath.

She first glanced at Lin Lu, who was bound and played with, then looked at Wu Lian, who was panting with her head down, and Amiya's hands pressed against Lin Lu's chest and abdomen.

"Kal'tsit! You've come at the right time, hurry..."

"Mon3tr!!!"

Chapter 83 Senior Alumni

"Ugh... It's so bitter, and the taste is so strong."

Amiya savored the taste of the emergency sanity serum in her mouth, almost choking on it, and just wanted to stick out her tongue.

I really don't know how the Doctor could drink this stuff like a beverage. Sometimes he would even drink three bottles in a row after a busy battle, chugging away.

This high-dose emergency concoction, used to temporarily maintain sanity, can clear the mind of unnecessary clutter, but may cause migraines. Even the product information states that it contains a small amount of mustard extract; avoid contact with eyes. When the situation is so urgent that this product is needed to maintain alertness, there should be no time to read this information.

"Woooo..."

As Kal'tsit gently helped her put her clothes back on, Wu Lian sat on the hospital bed, her feet unable to touch the ground due to her height.

The girl stuck out her tongue like Amiya, hugged Little Moti and cried uncontrollably, her tears wetting her cheeks, and Little Moti also became teary-eyed.

After being forced to take the Emergency Sanity Potion by Kal'tsit, Amiya and Witch regained consciousness and woke up under intense stimulation.

Wu Lian couldn't remember what happened after the spell backlash; she just felt very cold and cutely sneezed a little.

Amiya quickly covered Wu Lian with a blanket, as the girl had been running a fever for quite some time, leaving large areas of skin exposed. But what Amiya didn't know was that the real reason Wu Lian felt cold was because she had briefly touched Lin Lu's mental consciousness…

"In other words, this is how things went, and the doctor did nothing wrong."

Amiya held the empty emergency sanity serum bottle, lowered her head sadly, and said in a deep voice, "We are the ones who did wrong."

"……I see."

Kal'tsit sat in the chair, legs crossed, brows furrowed.

She never expected that Wu Lian would attempt to mentally manipulate Lin Lu because of a doll.

This was something Kal'tsit could never have foreseen. She knew about Wu Lian's file and what kind of girl she was. For this young girl to open up so quickly, should we say he was truly worthy of that man, or should we say he was a ticking time bomb, destined to steer things in ways no one could predict?

“Witch, I hope this makes you understand. This is Rhodes Island, not Syracuse.”

Kal'tsit looked directly at Wulian, her tone slightly heavy, as if to teach her a lesson.

"Luckily you didn't harbor any hostility towards the Doctor, otherwise you would be like this now... sigh."

A more stern warning ultimately remained unspoken. Kal'tsit knew that Witch had no malicious intentions, but a word of caution was necessary. If she were allowed to continue this time, what if Witch used magic on other operators in the future? Kal'tsit's responsibility wasn't just for Witch; she had a duty to ensure the safety of every operator.

“Dr. Kal'tsit, I think Wulian has realized her mistake. I had a brief mental link with her, and I know she is reflecting on her actions.”

Amiya embraced the trembling witch and pleaded for her life.

Wu Lian lowered her head and murmured softly, "I'm sorry..."

"It's good that you can admit your mistakes and correct them."

Kal'tsit sighed softly, opened the medical record on the table, looked at the meticulously written characters, and gently traced them with her finger.

"That's fine for tonight. Go back and get some rest. Come to the infirmary again tomorrow. Amiya will take you to register your ID card, show you the girls' dormitory, and tell you which places on the Rhodes Island ship you can and can't go. Before you leave, both of you should have a warm drink to keep warm so you don't catch a cold."

"Thank you..." Wu Lian nodded obediently and said softly.

"You're welcome." Amiya smiled and ruffled Wulian's hair. She looked around and asked, "Dr. Kal'tsit, where's the Doctor?"

"...He went out on business."

Kal'tsit's hand holding the cup froze, and she casually avoided the topic.

Kal'tsit secretly added a calming drug to the hot drinks she prepared for the two of them.

She knew these two would need it.

-

The deck of Rhodes Island, on the familiar mast.

"Doctor, this outfit suits you very well. You look much more handsome than that gloomy black coat."

Warfarin, a senior alumna of Rhode Island Bridge University, said that if conditions allowed, she would have given Lin a thumbs up.

"He's not that handsome, even if you compliment me, I won't be happy."

Lin Lu waved his hand and struck a unique pose in the air with his feet off the ground.

Most people would probably injure their back if they suddenly twisted like that without warming up, but luckily he has an exceptionally strong back.

Lin Lu was able to pose in the air because Mon3tr, which was floating in the air, was affectionately hugging him, its inverted triangular, ferocious face pressing down on his head.

Mon3tr's heavy breathing brushed against Lin Lu's hair, making it slightly itchy.

If Lin Lu can achieve maximum synchronization with Mon3tr, he might become Terra's first Bio Rider, or he could impersonate a Stand user.

Warfarin asked in confusion, "Doctor, you were fine before, how did you make Kal'tsit angry?"

“I was forged in front of Kal'tsit.”

"what?"

A small question mark appeared on Warfarin's head.

"No, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing."

The bitterness in my heart is something I keep to myself; there's no need to tell others.

"And what about you? What happened to you?"

Lin Lu observed Warfarin. In terms of binding techniques, the way she was restrained now was completely different from that afternoon. If Platinum had simply tied Warfarin up with a rope, made a knot, tied the other end of the rope to the mast, and then kicked her down, that would have been a different story.

So the current warfarin is the legendary tortoise shell binding.

This skillful rope art masterpiece, resembling a python and a young girl, presents a striking contrast between extreme terror and extreme tranquility.

Rough ropes were neatly wrapped around Warfarin's body, slightly tightening her small frame without making her appear bulky. The evenly distributed ropes formed a net, reducing the discomfort caused by unilateral force. Moreover, the way certain features were accentuated made even Warfarin look surprisingly well-endowed. This prominent sense of artistry, beauty, and roundness was enough to call it a work of art.

"Ugh, just thinking about it makes me angry!"

Warfarin said angrily, "I just said a few words to her! And she's acting like this!"

“Exactly! Menopause, always speaking with a barb, cold and aloof, not feminine at all—but that's exactly what I love about her! Honest, straightforward, self-disciplined, and she would never push someone else to do something she can't do herself. Although she can be impatient at times, it's because she cares about us and worries about us. Kal'tsit is the most rational and intelligent woman I've ever met, and I'm deeply fascinated by that.” Lin Lu's voice trembled as he tried his best to keep his tone calm.

"Oh? Doctor, you're already speaking up for her before you've even remarried? I didn't realize you had this kind of taste."

Warfarin excitedly tried to come closer, a faint blush rising on her fair, childlike face from the friction of her body against the ropes.

"To be honest, Kal'tsit is definitely my type! She's amazing, how can there be such a perfect woman in this world! I love her."

"Wow! Doctor! If you said that to her face, the mother cat would be overjoyed!"

"Yes, really..."

Lin Lu glanced at Kal'tsit, who was approaching gracefully, out of the corner of his eye, but didn't see her jump up.

Chapter 84 The Lost Call

"so……"

Lin Lu patiently coaxed, "Warfarin, what exactly did you say? Kal'tsit is such a rational person, she shouldn't have said that."

"You scumbag doctor, all you do is defend Kal'tsit! Can't you even look at me a little more?!"

The innocent and naive Warfarin had no idea what was going on, unaware that she had already stepped one foot into Lin Lu's trap. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "All I did was ask her twice why she knew so much about the Doctor's size! And she tied me up here! Damn it, I haven't even asked her if she wants to remarry!"

Warfarin jerked her head back, venting her fury in the bright moonlight: "Kal'tsit, you cat in heat! Why are you so skilled? Why do you claim you have no relationship with the Doctor? Why do you say there's nothing between you and the Doctor? How many times have you slept with the Doctor?! There's only one answer! Kal'tsit! Because you are—the first in the world—"

"The world's first what?"

A chillingly cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Woo!!"

Warfarin shivered; she suddenly felt that the evening breeze was much cooler than usual.

"Go on, keep talking! Why are you stopping? Weren't you a very talkative person?"

Kal'tsit crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes filled with icy coldness.

"Ah, ah, ah... hahaha..."

Warfarin struggled for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

Finally, she turned and glared at the doctor, roaring, "You scoundrel, how dare you scheme against me!!"

"Warfarin." Lin Lu raised his hand to cover half his face, tilted his head slightly to reveal the cobalt blue eyes beneath his bangs, and said solemnly, "For the greater good, sacrifice yourself."

Kal'tsit glanced at the two of them, waved to Mon3tr, and turned to leave.

"You two adulterers! Don't let me see you again—No! Don't go! I was wrong! I was just kidding, put me down, Kal'tsit!"

Warfarin turned her head to watch Kal'tsit and Lin Lu's departing figures, then hung alone on the mast, letting out the mournful howl of a lone vampire.

I imagine the sunrise tomorrow will be dazzling.

"Hey."

Lin Lu, now able to land on his feet, waved goodbye to Mon3tr with a hint of reluctance.

I have to say, Mon3tr's embrace is really comforting, warm and cozy, with built-in heat retention.

If it weren't for the strong wind, he might have fallen asleep in Mon3tr's arms.

"Kal'tsit, could I borrow Mon3tr for one night?"

"...Mon3tr is inedible."

Who would eat it?!

Lin Lu turned to look at Mon3tr and said, "That's what they say, but it's really good."

That smooth silhouette, those strong arms, that matcha chocolate shape... it really does look tempting.

Kal'tsit rolled her eyes at Lin Lu and muttered to herself, "Didn't you bite it when you first met it..."

"What did you say?" Lin Lu didn't hear clearly.

"nothing."

Kal'tsit slung the Mon3tr back onto her back, draped her half-off coat over her shoulders, and handed a black communicator to Lin Lu.

"Here you go, keep it safe."

"Whoa whoa……"

"and this."

Lin Lu took the cell phone and employee ID card from Kal'tsit. The picture on the employee ID card showed him wearing a hooded coat, and there was a number below it.

"B101?"

Lin Lu tilted his head and looked at Kal'tsit's employee ID card hanging around her neck on a chain; her number was "B003".

"Your permissions remain unchanged; you still have the highest permissions on Rhodes Island. Every part of the Rhodes Island ship is open to you, including your private dormitory. Simply swipe your card before entering," Kal'tsit said calmly, her voice as steady as ever, seemingly unmoved by anything. "Here's your mobile information terminal; the PRTS system will assist you in every aspect of your life. If you want to go to the cafeteria, just use your mobile terminal for navigation. Your staff card serves as both your identification and your credit card on Rhodes Island; simply swipe it wherever you need to pay."
