Their commission was suspicious.

[Stop looking. There is indeed faith in you, and it's on Rhodes Island. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that unlucky little Exusiai.]

The power of faith? Exusiai?

Chen Luo had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, in that post-apocalyptic world of Terra where everyone is in their own hands, there must be a lot of faith, right?

When a nation is on the verge of collapse, monsters and evil spirits will roam the land.

In a post-apocalyptic world teeming with monsters, some people will naturally place their longing in their faith.

"Furthermore... Lateran seems to be a religious state!"

Great! The orange juice, which was on the verge of success, is saved.

Hmm, I'll go scare Exusiai in a bit and see if she gives me more Faith Power!

"Hmm, it feels really good. It would be even better if it were a little smaller." Skadi thought to herself as she stroked Chen Luo's head.

Human babies feel so good to touch, I want to raise one...

If they're not adults, they're considered cubs!

Chapter 1199 An Unknown Operator: The lollipop the Doctor gave me is super delicious!

"Are you interested in Rhodes Island?" Skadi asked, stroking the head of her newly "acquired" human "pet".

A psychologist once said: If you have a pet, take good care of it. If you really can't keep it alive, let it roam freely; don't mistreat it. Oh, and by the way, there's naming. If you're truly terrible at naming things, then just go with numbers like 12345 or A, B, C, D—one of them will survive eventually.

Skadi didn't think of Chen Luo as her pet, but Chen Luo's little head did feel very comfortable to touch.

Skadi was quite confident in her hair, but now it seemed Chen Luo's hair quality was comparable to hers, just a bit shorter...

"Rhodes Island... I'm quite interested, provided we wait until after this month. Then I can probably explore it without any worries."

The dates on Terra are different from those in the Spirit World. On Terra, it will be next month the day after tomorrow, but Chen Luo will have to wait a few more days.

To be precise, it would be quite good if different worlds could use the same calendar.

The important thing about Chen Luo, the escaped doctor from Rhodes Island, is that he is on the run. If he is encountered by the people of Rhodes Island during his time there, then Chen Luo's status as an escaped doctor will be gone.

Fortunately, Chen Luo has investigative abilities, which ensures that no unexpected events within the world will happen to him.

Within Rhodes Island, if anyone tries to encounter him, the human-centered plugin will alert Chen Luo.

Fortunately, there are user-friendly plugins, otherwise Chen Luo really wouldn't dare to go to Rhodes Island.

But it's fine at the bar, because the bar doesn't belong to Rhodes Island.

"Let me make this clear first, I'm going to Rhodes Island in a bit, but if you come with me, please don't touch me while we're there, and please don't do anything to me," Chen Luo said solemnly to Skadi.

Skadi also belongs to Rhodes Island. As long as the conditions of Rhodes Island and being captured are met, no matter who it is, Chen Luo will lose his identity.

Although the identity of the escaped doctor from Rhodes Island is not Chen Luo and cannot be abandoned, it is still worth 200 Primogems. Why should we give it up?

Moreover, Rhodes Island is a place where powerful figures gather, and having an identity as a Doctor here would definitely make it easier to obtain commissions from various factions.

Although Chen Luo probably has an identity among those various forces, what if he fails to complete the missions associated with those forces and ends up losing it?

If he could, Chen Luo wouldn't really want to lose his status as a runaway doctor from Rhodes Island, even though being a doctor requires handling a lot of official duties...

“Then you go by yourself, I won’t go,” Skadi said to Chen Luo after a moment’s hesitation.

"Why? Aren't you keeping an eye on him at all? What if he causes trouble on Rhodes Island after he's out of your sight?" Xiao Jiu looked at Skadi in surprise.

Xiao Jiu has met Skadi twice.

This person's every action is unexpected.

"It's alright. Rhodes Island has quite a few capable people, and he already went there alone yesterday, so there won't be any problems."

Look, Chen Luo went to Rhodes Island for so long yesterday, and Rhodes Island didn't sink. That's enough to prove that Chen Luo is a good person.

Moreover, there are some capable people on Rhodes Island, such as a certain extremely arrogant doctor.

Because of the subconscious act of touching his head earlier, Skadi's gaze is now fixed on Chen Luo's head no matter what he does or where he goes.

He's gotten addicted to patting heads.

A human baby, and it looks pleasing to the eye (and has a friendly feel), and its hair is nice too...

The little orca felt like it had seen Chen Luo somewhere before, but it also felt impossible.

Because she's become addicted to touching heads, Skadi is worried that she might accidentally touch the other person's head.

Chen Luo repeatedly warned him not to touch him on Rhodes Island.

It would have been better not to go to Rhodes Island at all.

Anyway, I don't have any friends on Rhodes Island.

I've rested for two days now. Should I take on a mission and head out tomorrow?

Skadi was thinking about some strange things.

For Skadi, there was really no difference between staying on Rhodes Island and doing bounty missions outside.

Rhodes Island doesn't often assign Skadi combat missions. Skadi has strong individual combat capabilities, but that's limited to individual combat.

Sometimes, the damage caused by Skadi operators during missions can exceed the gains they achieve.

Of course, this can't be blamed on Operator Skadi. The only thing the Deepsea Hunters need to do is kill Sea-Siege, kill Sea-Siege, and kill Sea-Siege. What kind of destruction they cause in the process of killing Sea-Siege is really not something these Deepsea Hunters should be concerned with.

Since deep-sea hunters mostly fight in the ocean, it doesn't matter how much damage they cause.

Because the Sea Kings usually don't have any schemes, they developed a straightforward style as deep-sea hunters.

Chen Luo tilted his head as he watched the bubbles constantly rising above Skadi's head.

What's wrong? You've gotten addicted to patting heads?

Oh, speaking of which, Isamara also likes to pat Chen Luo's head, but most of the time she just gives Chen Luo a head-patting wave.

Because Chen Luo usually sits in a bar seat, while Isamara, relying on the shadow curse, openly stands behind Chen Luo, rubbing his head and giving him a head-padded wave.

So this is when the habit was formed?

As for why Skadi's familiarity with Chen Luo grew so quickly, besides the various reasons for their increased affection, there's probably also the factor of their blood relation.

It's not that Chen Luo is a Hai Si, but rather because of the effect brought about by Chen Luo's Ghost Shark chainsaw.

Bond: After acquiring this weapon, the Deep Sea Hunter's initial affinity towards you increases. The higher the weapon's growth level, the higher the affinity.

Speaking of which, Chen Luo can be considered a Deepsea Hunter. He can form a Deepsea team with Skadi and the others to fight the Moon Pigeon on difficulty 15!

Hmm, maybe I should make some time to go see the Specter today.

It's perfectly normal for Chen Luo to be interested in Ghost Shark, since he uses the same weapon as Ghost Shark and that weapon is even named after Ghost Shark.

Specter, whose real name is Laurentina, is a member of the Deepsea Hunters Team Two and Skadi's colleague. She wasn't originally called Specter; she was simply called Shark.

After a battle against the gods of the sea, Ghost Shark managed to escape to the surface, only to be imprisoned and tortured by cultists who worshipped deep-sea monsters. They injected large amounts of liquid Originium into his neck, damaging his body and mind, and he constantly switched between different degrees of trance and madness, only regaining his senses on rare occasions.

Perhaps Chen Luo can help her.

The original purpose of a head pat is to bring those who have become frantic and lost back to their original intentions.

After Specter regains consciousness, it may be able to change its class to Netherworld Specter.

Rather than saying that Ghost Shark has a dual personality, it's more accurate to say that Ghost Shark is currently in a state of amnesia.

However, due to the prolonged period of amnesia and the events that occurred during that time, the amnesiac Specter veered towards madness.

It's worth mentioning that, in his berserk state, Ghost Shark, in a moment of confusion after his madness, once offered a prayer to an evil god.

That was their former enemy—the newborn (Isamara).

Chen Luo had a feeling that if Isamara met Skadi and Specter, the two deep-sea hunters, something bad would happen.

That was the case, at least until they stabilized.

However, if Specter really knew that Isamara's current state was that of a newborn with Skadi's memories and emotions, he might be very interested in Isamara.

But before Skadi and Specter can accept spending time with Isamara in the same bar, they still have to put Isamara in the Shadow Curse costume for a while, but Isamara seems to enjoy it.

……

"Sigh, Exusiai, is it really useful for you to keep praying here?" Croissant asked, sitting on her bed and looking at Exusiai, who was praying with her eyes closed.

Perhaps because her halo had fallen, Exusiai hadn't left the dormitory since last night. In Exusiai's words, she was too ashamed to face anyone.

As official Rhodes Island operators, they are entitled to a private dormitory, but Exusiai and the others are only delivering goods to Rhodes Island and staying here temporarily for one night, so they can only make do in this four-person dormitory.

And because Exusiai was unwilling to leave the room, the return to Lungmen was delayed by a day.

Although she didn't know the details of the matter, Amiya readily agreed to it.

"Do you think that Angel Killer or something will come tonight?" After Exusiai ignored Croissant, Croissant looked at Texas next to her.

"Maybe. But something feels off, because the timing of that angel killer's arrival was strange. It didn't choose the time when Exusiai made a mistake, nor did it choose any important holidays; it just happened on an ordinary day, in Exusiai's sleep, and removed her halo." Texas was still somewhat puzzled by this.

If Exusiai were in Laterano, this kind of bad luck would be understandable.

But the problem is, this is Rhodes Island, which is a long way from Laterano and Lungmen.

If God truly exists, how does He travel? And is God really that bored?

For some reason, Texas suddenly remembered the broadcast she had heard yesterday about the escaped doctor from Rhodes Island who ran back to Rhodes Island to borrow money from Warfarin to escape.

Although the logic was strange, Texas didn't care. What Texas cared about was whether there was a connection between the escaped doctor from Rhodes Island returning to Rhodes Island and the Angel Killer finding Exusiai.

The possibility that the escaped doctor from Rhodes Island is an Angel Killer is extremely low, so Texas didn't consider that possibility.

Texas was just wondering if that Angel Killer had come back with the escaped Doctor from Rhodes Island.

Is the Rhodes Island doctor also a Sarkaz?

Although the probability is relatively small, it is at least a clue.

It was indeed a coincidence that while Exusiai was isolating herself in her dorm, Texas managed to get information and photos of the Rhodes Island doctor through Croissant's amazing little merchant selling ability.

Yesterday, Kal'tsit issued a bounty on everyone on Rhodes Island, but she didn't provide any photos.

Therefore, this task can probably only be completed by Rhodes Island operators.

While Croissant was selling small commodities at a street stall, she learned about the Doctor's image through casual conversations with the operators. Some said the Doctor was an excellent surgeon and medical operator, some said he was the world's best battlefield commander, and some said the lollipops the Doctor gave her were incredibly delicious...

Despite the various opinions, one thing remains constant: in the minds of Rhodes Island operators, the Doctor seems to be omnipotent.

Unlike Kal'tsit, who's always uttering riddles, the Doctor seems to genuinely try his best to fulfill the wishes of most operators.

However, finding a PhD is very difficult.

Especially now.

"He looks very young." That was Texas's first impression when she saw the photo Croissant had gotten.

"He looks familiar; I think I've seen him somewhere before." That was the second impression.

This photo at least confirms that Chen Luo is not an angel, because he has no halo.

"Huh?" Texas paused for a moment, then looked up at Exusiai.

Exusiai, who had been muttering something, suddenly fell silent.

The Exia, who was originally in a prayer position, kept nodding her head, looking drowsy.

"Maybe she's tired?"

Although it's only around 6 PM, not exactly bedtime, Exusiai has been quietly muttering to herself in her dorm room for almost a whole day. It's perfectly reasonable for her to be tired, and it's perfectly reasonable for her to want to sleep after being tired.

Texas tilted her head as she watched Exusiai slowly lie down on the bed from her kneeling position.

Texas isn't saying there's anything wrong with Exusiai sleeping, it's just that the way Exusiai sleeps...

Exusiai was kneeling on the bed when she fell forward, but her knees didn't touch the floor, so she's now asleep in a rather awkward position.

Weird.

How can you fall asleep like this?

"Young Remule, did you lose this golden halo? Or this silver halo? Or this ordinary halo that looks like a fluorescent light tube?" In a daze, a strange person with wings on his back, a broken halo on his head, and three halos floating in his hands appeared before Exusiai again.
