Their commission was suspicious.

Although the Manticore didn't personally explain why, how, or how it ended up there, Exusiai and the others could deduce the general outline from the conversation between Chen Luo and the Manticore.

That unique ability to diminish one's own presence, coupled with the Manticore's declaration of wanting to spend the night here...

It can be guessed that during dinner yesterday, Exusiai and the others' conversation was accidentally overheard by an outsider, who then followed them back to their dormitory.

After Chen Luo's appearance temporarily suppressed the buff that weakened the presence of the Lion Scorpion, Exusiai finally remembered where the violet fragrance she smelled yesterday was coming from.

If the Lion Scorpion harbored murderous intent towards Exusiai and the others, the three seasoned veterans would naturally be able to sense it immediately.

However, the Lion Scorpion had no intention of killing any of the three of them; the Lion Scorpion simply wanted to find the Doctor by relying on Exusiai and the others.

What a shame!

Seeing the lion scorpion standing next to Chen Luo with its tail curled up, the three of them gave up their plan to subdue it by force.

Even if the ability is temporarily disabled, that tail doesn't look like something to be trifled with, and Exusiai and Manticore shouldn't be enemies in the first place.

Since forceful subjugation is not an option, we can only try persuasion through language.

"Miss Manticore, right? How can you get her to give up on Mr. Angel Killer?" Exusiai tried to communicate with Manticore using a healthy and optimistic smile.

"Doctor, it's very important, we won't give up!" The purple-haired, twin-tailed lion scorpion shook his head and said with great determination.

The PhD is a good friend!

“…Mr. Angel Killer, how about we kidnap her too?” Exusiai suggested an excellent idea.

Then Texas, who was behind him, tapped him on the head three times with a red orca plush toy.

Chen Luo gave Texas a thumbs up.

Well done!

"How dare you kidnap her from Rhodes Island! Even if no one finds out for a short time, it's still unacceptable! Are you trying to steal her from Rhodes Island?!"

From a generally rational perspective, the Lion Scorpion's abilities do indeed allow it to disappear for two or three days without attracting the attention of ordinary people.

But Kal'tsit will.

"Mr. Angel Killer, you need to understand one thing: you are now a god I'm supporting. I hope you have some self-awareness," Exusiai emphasized with dissatisfaction.

"Then I also want to emphasize one point: the money you use to support me is still from me."

"Well……"

This is the first time Exusiai has somewhat regretted her usual extravagant spending habits.

I don't even have the confidence to say I'm being kept!

"Doctor, are you going to keep running away?" After Exusiai was defeated, Manticore looked up at Chen Luo, who was floating in the air with his feet not touching the ground.

The title "Angel Killer" didn't bother Lion Scorpion, since he knew Chen Luo had many identities.

But Chen Luoke wasn't like this before, constantly in a state of flight and elusiveness.

"That's not called running away, that's called paid leave. Although Kal'tsit may not pay me, I really can't stand being on Rhodes Island any longer!"

Too much work!

"Then, Doctor, can I come along too?" The Manticore tilted its head.

"There's no need for that. I'll be back in a couple of days," Chen Luo waved his hand.

"I see... Then Doctor, you can go ahead. I'll keep it a secret. Keep it a secret from Dr. Kal'tsit."

If it's just a short trip, there's no need to make such a big fuss.

"Hey, Mr. Angel Killer, are you going back to Rhodes Island?" Exusiai asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course I'm coming back. I still want to enjoy the magnificent sight of Warfarin hanging on the bridge." Chen Luo's eyes were full of longing.

"A perverse sense of humor..."

Exusiai and Texas had also seen Warfarin hanging on the bridge, as she was simply too conspicuous.

"But no matter what, we've passed this hurdle?" Croissant glanced at the Lion Scorpion with some uncertainty.

"Consider yourselves lucky. You encountered Master Scorpion instead of Ethan. Otherwise... dying before even starting would be the best description of your situation."

Unlike Lion Scorpion, Ethan didn't value Chen Luo's whereabouts more than the significance of the matter itself.

The manticore would quietly follow behind them, waiting until Chen Luo reappeared.

Ethan, on the other hand, would definitely wait until they left and then go straight to Kal'tsit to tattle.

(Ethan, a chameleon, can also achieve a similar level of invisibility.)

"Who knew Rhodes Island would have so many weird and wonderful operators?" Exusiai muttered under her breath.

Exusiai and the others have seen their share of big events, but operators like Manticore are truly rare.

"..." Upon hearing the strange words from Exusiai, Manticore paused in his breakfast, lowered his head, and looked somewhat dim.

Seeing the bubbles rising from the head of the Lion Scorpion, Chen Luo glared at Exusiai, while Texas started tapping Exusiai's head with the red orca plushie.

"Alright, Manticore, Exusiai didn't mean to criticize you. Actually, you might not believe it, but during my time away from Rhodes Island, I met two people just like you while traveling."

"Hmm?" The lion scorpion automatically ignored the first two sentences and focused on people like himself.

"Indeed, someone without friends?" Lion Scorpion asked.

If possible, Leo-Scorpios would like to find some other people who also have no friends to be their friends; perhaps two people with no friends are more likely to become friends.

"No, I mean, like you, I have a very weak presence."

Chen Luo held a negative attitude towards the Lion Scorpion.

How can someone with social anxiety have the confidence to be friends with another person with social anxiety?

Aren't you afraid of sitting in a room together, each huddled in a corner, shivering with fear?

"Really?" The lion scorpion was somewhat surprised, but also pleasantly surprised.

"Well, unlike you, their ability to diminish their presence is innate. One of them can control the strength of their presence, while the other cannot, but with my help, the problem of having too weak a presence has been solved. Of course, that's not the point. The point is that I think the three of you might have something in common."

"I met all sorts of people on this trip. Some were like you, with a weak presence; some wanted to make friends but didn't know how to say it; and some were even stranger. I'll introduce them to you one by one later."

"I really envy the professor; he's made so many great friends while traveling. That's amazing!"

"It's not a matter of how powerful it is. The lion scorpion is so cute. If it could add a little courage, it could make a lot of friends," Chen Luo said, stroking the lion scorpion's head.

Although Chen Luo has lost many pets, he still enjoys keeping pets.

However, in Chen Luo's view, Rhodes Island is full of pets!

There are lynxes, rabbits, angels, killer whales, and even mythical creatures like the lion-scorpion beast.

"really?"

"real."

What Chen Luo said is absolutely true! The Lioness doesn't have many friends now. Besides her relatively weak presence, her personality is also a major issue.

But it's not a big problem; the most common sight in bars is strange and unusual creatures.

The least common are ordinary people.

Chen Luochang seemed out of place among them because he wasn't twisted enough.

Seeing Chen Luo encouraging him again, Lion Scorpion subconsciously grabbed Chen Luo's sleeve.

Some treacherous subjects are plotting against me!

Chen Luo's body became ethereal, causing the lion scorpion to miss its target.

"Hmm?" Looking at Chen Luo, who didn't even want to let him grab the hem of his clothes, Lion Scorpion tilted his head.

[Self-doubt mode activated! Countdown 3, 2...]

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm just playing around with Kal'tsit and the others. If I get caught by any Rhodes Island operator and brought back to Rhodes Island, I'll have to continue working 007 every day, so I can't let you catch me. At least not today." Chen Luo explained, watching the Manticore begin to gather its strength.

I know you want to doubt yourself, but don't doubt yourself yet!

"Oh, I've heard of this agreement, but can't we do it secretly? I won't tell Dr. Kal'tsit." The Manticore blinked and said pitifully.

"No, but I can give you a red orca pillow. You can hug it instead." Chen Luo pulled out a red orca pillow and gave it to Lion Scorpion.

"Oh." Although the Manticore was a little disappointed, receiving a gift from the Doctor still made it a bit happier.

"Alright, Lion Scorpion, you should go back to your dorm and catch up on your sleep. I'm also leaving Rhodes Island with Exusiai and the others for the time being. See you in two days. Hmm, maybe one day."

In fact, today marks the second month in the world of Terra.

The Green Ticket Shop needs updating.

"Yes, I will cherish the gift the doctor gave me." After nodding, the Manticore left the dormitory under Chen Luo's watchful gaze.

"Mr. Angel Killer, it seems that Miss Manticore and the other operators are quite dependent on you. Since you have devoted so much effort to Rhodes Island, why don't you want to stay there?" Exusiai asked curiously.

Although Exusiai didn't really want to see a god from her mythology go to another faction to become a doctor, she was still very curious.

"Well... you'll find out soon enough." Chen Luo said, looking at the lion scorpion who was about to close the dormitory door and was looking at him with some reluctance.

"Bang!" The lion scorpion had just turned around after closing the door when he bumped into the others.

"Huh? Lion Scorpion?" Amiya stared in surprise at the Lion Scorpion that came out of the four-person dormitory.

How did the lion scorpion end up here?

"Hmm. Amiya, good morning. Goodbye." After a very Manticore-style greeting, Manticore hurriedly left, clutching the red orca plushie in his arms.

After the lion scorpion moved a distance away, its presence quickly diminished, and Amiya withdrew her gaze from the lion scorpion.

When Amiya entered the dormitory where the Penguin Logistics trio lived, she greeted Exusiai and the others.

"How are you three doing on Rhodes Island?" Amiya asked.

"Not bad. The dormitory environment isn't as good as a single room, but it's at least better than a student apartment. The cafeteria is also quite good, and the work atmosphere is very positive." Exusiai gave it a very high rating.

After all, one of Rhodes Island's nominal and actual administrators were right in front of him.

"This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. Oh, by the way, the Penguin Logistics vehicles have been repaired and upgraded by the Rhodes Island engineering department, and they've been refueled and are ready to depart at any time. If you'd like to stay a little longer, that's fine too."

"Thanks, Amiya, thank you for your help these past two days."

However, Exusiai is a bit strange. As the administrator of Rhodes Island, is the little rabbit so free?

He even came to the dormitory specifically to see the three of them off?

"It's not troublesome, but..."

Upon hearing just two words, Exusiai knew that a mission might be in the works.

"What's wrong? Just tell us what's wrong. We're so grateful for your help during this extra day of delay at Rhodes Island. We'll definitely help if you need anything," Exusiai assured, patting her chest.

"Actually... I heard that Penguin Logistics is also involved in some gray industries, right?" Amiya asked tentatively.

"That's right. Is there any work we need to do?"

"Oh, it's like this, I plan to issue a warrant through your underground world in Lungmen, the target of which is the Doctor from Rhodes Island..."

"Wait, wait, a wanted poster? Are you sure it's not a bounty? A wanted poster means you can't be arrested, dead or alive," Exusiai quickly corrected.

"Yes, it's a bounty notice, not a wanted notice."

"This matter... how about this, let's not issue a bounty yet. Let Penguin Logistics help you gather information first. Penguin Logistics has excellent connections. If we have any news about your doctor, we'll notify you, and then you can pay. If we don't have any news, you don't need to pay. How about that? Consider it your way of repaying us for taking care of you these past few days. After all, we should save on deposits whenever possible," Exusiai said after thinking for a moment.

"Really? Thank you so much!" the little rabbit said, touched.

Exusiai, no, everyone at Penguin Logistics, are such a good group of people!

Looking at Amiya's innocent smile, Exusiai felt a pang of guilt.

Chapter 1215 Your doctor is great, but he's an Exusiai now!

"Amiya, what kind of person is your Doctor?" Exusiai asked Amiya as they walked along the road.

Exusiai and her group were already prepared to leave if Chen Luo didn't show up.

Exusiai believed that Angel Killer would be able to catch up.

After Exusiai brought up the matter of Penguin Logistics helping to find the Doctor's whereabouts, Amiya immediately led Exusiai and the others to find the Penguin Logistics vehicle that had already been maintained.

Although they hadn't yet learned from Chen Luo why he didn't want to stay at Rhodes Island, they couldn't refuse his earnest invitation, so Exusiai and her group had no choice but to compromise.

After seeing Chen Luo floating nearby, invisible to everyone else, Exusiai felt relieved and continued on her way...
