On the Ark.

"This is Operator Shining's duty, and Operator Shining will not forget it," Shining said. "Moreover, according to the attendance records, Operator Shining has never been absent from her post in the psychological counseling room. She is qualified to be nominated for Rhodes Island's Top Ten Operators of the Year."

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself, "Do you have any shame?" So he pretended to be surprised and said, "Do you come to work every day? I don't remember at all."

With a calm and composed demeanor, White Owl replied, "That means you have some memory problems. Operator White Owl suggests you take medication. Recently, the R&D department has developed a new type of psychotropic drug to treat patients with amnesia. The drug's code name is NSSB, and it has shown good clinical results. Apart from being somewhat irritating to the kidneys, it has no other side effects... Hmm."

Unable to bear the White Owl's words any longer, Lin Ye finally reached out and pinched the White Owl's face, using physical means to shut her up. At the same time, he sighed, "Please, have some humanity."

The white-faced owl's head feathers twitched, but it remained silent.

Skyfire asked with some curiosity, "Is working at Rhodes Island this hard? You don't even go back to the dormitory, you just sleep in the office? I hope it won't be like this after I join, that won't do, I can't sleep in a place like this."

Lin Ye quickly released his grip on the white-faced owl and said, "Don't worry, every Rhodes Island employee has their own dormitory, and our working hours are very humane; we almost never work overtime. I slept in the office last night because I had something to do; I usually sleep in the dormitory."

After saying that, Lin Ye felt something was wrong. He felt that these words should have been said by Zilan, the director of the personnel department. Why would he, a psychologist, say them? Moreover, after saying them, he felt that he was no longer a doctor with a noble character, but a lackey of a black-hearted capitalist.

So where did he get all these strange ideas from?

“Operator Shining can vouch for Dr. Lin Ye.” Shining probably remembered that she was a Rhodes Island employee and should uphold Rhodes Island’s image, so she said in a serious tone, “Dr. Lin Ye did stay in the office last night because of something outside of work.”

Lin Ye looked at the white-faced owl and asked, "How can you prove it?"

After asking the question, he regretted his sharp tongue.

“Operator White Owl passed by the office building last night and heard your voice on the first floor,” White Owl said. “It was a loud, loud howl.”

Lin Ye's expression immediately changed: "Don't talk nonsense!"

“Operator White Owl never talks nonsense,” White Owl said. “Last night, you and Miss Skadi…”

Lin Ye immediately reached out and covered the white-faced owl's mouth tightly, then shouted, "I'm training! Do you understand what training is?! Last night, Skadi was helping me develop my body's potential. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"

The white-faced owl nodded, and Lin Ye released his grip. Then, looking at the white-faced owl, he turned to face Skyfire and said, "That's right. Miss Skadi is developing Dr. Lin Ye's body, so Dr. Lin Ye is calling out loudly."

Tianhuo's expression immediately turned strange.

Lin Ye really wished he could just throw this white goose away.

"I'm begging you!" Lin Ye pressed down on White Owl's shoulder and said sincerely, "Starting tomorrow, you can continue working in the medical department. You don't need to come here anymore! Don't worry, I definitely won't record your absences or anything. I'll even vote for you in the top ten operators election. What do you think?"

The operator, White Owl, replied slowly, "I don't think it's very good. The R&D department is on holiday, and I have nowhere to go, so I have to come here to work."

"You son of a bitch..."

Tianhu coughed twice, interrupting Lin Ye and the White-faced Owl's conversation.

“It doesn’t matter. You and your girlfriend don’t need to talk about what you did,” Tianhuo said. “You should just hurry up and sign my internship agreement.”

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "Where did you hear that Skadi is my girlfriend?"

Skyfire frowned: "Didn't you say that yourself? Back in Harlan town?"

Lin Ye remembered, and suddenly felt speechless and exhausted.

After hearing Skyfire's words, White Owl's eyes lit up again: "So Miss Skadi is Dr. Lin's girlfriend? Operator White Owl feels like she's heard something incredible."

Lin Ye grabbed the white-faced owl's shoulder again, then looked around.

Tianhuo asked, "What are you looking for?"

Lin Ye replied, "Find the tools to silence them."

At this moment, Lin Ye deeply regretted that when Hemo recommended the White Owl to him, he should have always adhered to his principle of hiring people—that is, they must be mentally sound!

Author's BB: Just writing one chapter. Tonight, I'm going to watch the World Championship finals offline with Youmeng the old rogue. I'm predicting FPX will beat G2 3-1.

Chapter 357 Have you heard of Halloween?

Lin Ye wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt like he was surrounded by strange people. He used to complain that White Owl only clocked in every day but didn't actually work, but now he just wished that White Owl wouldn't even need to clock in anymore, and that he could just hang a picture of it on the wall as a mascot.

"So, you're a full-fledged operator now?" Lin Ye looked at Tianhuo's internship agreement and was stunned when he realized that only his name was left blank. "That was fast!"

"Too fast?" Tianhuo frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

"How could she become a full-fledged operator in just one day?" Lin Ye was puzzled. After all, it had taken Lappland quite a while to become a full-fledged operator, while Skyfire became a full-fledged operator in just one day.

Understanding Lin Ye's doubts, Tian Huo said with a touch of pride, "You actually compared me to ordinary people? That's underestimating me too much."

Lin Ye ignored Skyfire's boasting and instead looked at White Owl. After all, it was White Owl who brought Skyfire, and he felt that White Owl should know the answer. And indeed, that proved to be true. Facing Lin Ye's questioning gaze, White Owl, unusually, didn't dawdle and explained quite seriously, "Because Miss Skyfire has known Physician Kal'tsit for a long time."

"There's such a thing?" Lin Ye looked at Tianhuo with some surprise. "So you're someone with connections?"

"What do you mean by 'connected person'? Can't you speak properly?" Skyfire frowned again, and then said somewhat displeasedly, "It was clearly Dr. Kal'tsit who extended an invitation to me a long time ago, but I just didn't agree at the time."

Why wasn't it agreed?

“Because back then I thought Rhodes Island was just an ordinary pharmaceutical company.” Skyfire crossed his arms, tapping his fingers lightly on his staff. “Just a pharmaceutical company wouldn’t be enough to realize my ambitions. But this operation made me realize that you are more than just a pharmaceutical company, so I came.”

"Ambitions? What are your ambitions?"

Tianhuo curled his lip: "Why should I tell you everything? This is my own business."

Lin Ye shrugged, not really caring, and said, "Whatever, I was just asking casually. What about your job at the Originium Arts Research Association?"

“There’s no real work there, it’s just a research group,” Skyfire said. “I’ve already asked Kal’tsit, and I can join Rhodes Island while retaining my membership in the Originium Arts Research Society. Future exchanges and collaborations between Rhodes Island and the Originium Arts Research Society can also be conducted through me.”

Lin Ye pondered, "Is it possible to join Rhodes Island while retaining my original position? That sounds pretty good."

The white-faced owl asked, "Dr. Lin, do you still want to go back to being a veterinarian?"

"Bai Gugu, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute," Lin Ye said irritably.

White Owl protested, "Please don't give Operator White Owl such an insulting codename."

Lin Ye rolled his eyes, thinking that the code name wasn't insulting at all, but rather perfectly suited his nature. However, he didn't voice his thoughts. Instead, he focused his attention back on Tianhuo's internship agreement and, without much hesitation, signed his name on it.

After all, he knew a bit about Skyfire, and since Skyfire was a close associate appointed by Kal'tsit, coming here to get his signature was just a formality, so there was nothing to worry about.

After signing, Lin Ye handed the internship agreement back to Tianhuo and asked, "What kind of work do you do at Rhodes Island? Is it also in the medical field?"

"Do I look like I know medicine?" Skyfire said. "I'm a natural disaster observer."

Catastrophe observer. Lin Ye had heard of it; it was exactly what it sounded like—a job unique to Terra, someone who observes natural disasters… or perhaps not so unique, since there were earthquake centers and such in his previous life. However, in his previous life, natural disasters were observed through science, while in Terra, racial talent was perhaps more important than knowledge. Therefore, very few people could become catastrophe observers; even on Rhodes Island, teeming with talent, there were only a handful.

Perhaps this is why Kal'tsit invited Skyfire to join her; such talent is simply too rare.

“Speaking of which, you actually are a psychologist,” Tianhuo said to Lin Ye. “I thought you were joking before.”

"Hmm?" Lin Ye looked at Tianhuo with some confusion. "Why do you ask that?"

"It really surprises me that a psychologist wouldn't stay in their office and instead go out to do such dangerous work," Tianhuo asked. "Are you really not afraid of death?"

Lin Ye smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me. Rhodes Island's doctors are very strong."

"Then I'll have to learn from you properly in the future."

"If you don't believe me, you can go find a doctor named Shining and fight her. Then you'll know I'm right." Lin Ye started to fool Tianhuo, but Tianhuo wasn't stupid and rolled his eyes.

"Why would I go looking for a fight? Do I have nothing better to do?"

Seeing that he had failed to deceive Skyfire, Lin Ye felt a little disappointed. He thought to himself that Rhodes Island had finally found someone with a high IQ, and that failing to fool Skyfire was simply a matter of his own inadequacy.

After obtaining Lin Ye's signature, Tianhuo left Lin Ye's office without lingering. This left only Lin Ye and Baimianxiao in the office.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Lin Ye glanced sideways at the white-faced owl. "You're not really planning to work here, are you?"

"Operator Shining is indeed a full-time employee of the psychological counseling center," Shining said slowly.

"Alright, alright," Lin Ye sighed. "Don't say things like that to me. Anyway, I don't have anything to do here. You can go back to sleep."

He wanted to quickly lure the white-faced owl away so he could go find Skadi to check on the results of last night's training.

But the white-faced owl did not leave.

Lin Ye frowned: "What exactly do you want?"

"Operator Shiny has a question for you."

"Speak." Lin Ye had a feeling it wouldn't be a good question.

The white-faced owl said slowly, "Have you ever heard of Halloween?"

Lin Ye was stunned.

……

……

Author's BB: Watched the match offline with a group of authors until the early hours! FPX 3:0 G2, amazing! Although I told others before the match that FPX's strength far surpassed G2's and that winning against G2 was a certainty, I still didn't expect it to be so decisive. Actually, it should have been 3:1, but Tian's Lee Sin in the last game was just too good! Awesome, FPX is awesome!

Chapter 358 Halloween - The Ghost Hunter

"Halloween?" Lin Ye was taken aback, not quite understanding why White Owl would suddenly bring this up. Of course he knew what Halloween was, but he had been in Terra for two years and had never heard of Halloween there. Now, White Owl was suddenly mentioning it, and he didn't know if the Halloween White Owl was talking about was the same as the Halloween he knew, so he cautiously shook his head. "I don't know, I've never heard of it. What holiday is it from?"

"They are from the demon race."

"...The Ghost Clan?" Lin Ye was somewhat surprised.

How could they be demons? In Lin Ye's memory, the demons in the Terra world were mostly of Eastern origin. Halloween, on the other hand, should be a typical Western holiday.

"The Oni race that Agent White Owl mentioned is not quite the same as the Oni race you understand." White Owl picked up a report from Lin Ye's desk, then covered her face with it, the feathers in her hair trembling. She said in a muffled voice, "It's this kind of Oni."

Lin Ye's lips twitched slightly: "Such an idiot?"

“Not a fool.” White Owl put down the report and corrected, “It’s a ghost, a ghost in disguise.”

A ghost in disguise? It seems to be just as he imagined.

Lin Ye nodded: "If that's the case, then I understand."

"Do you understand now?" the white-faced owl said. "I haven't finished explaining yet."

"Isn't it just a children's holiday?" Lin Ye rolled up the report paper that the white-faced owl had used, and then tapped the white-faced owl on the head. "Children dress up as ghosts and monsters and go to adults' houses on Halloween to knock on the door and ask for candy. If they don't get candy, they will play tricks."

The white-faced owl tilted its head: "Although I don't know why you think this is a children's holiday, is the final reward you want candy? As expected of Dr. Lin, you really have a childlike heart."

"...I always feel like no matter how nice something is to you, it always sounds like you're being sarcastic?"

White Owl shook her head: "No, Operator White Owl admires Doctor Lin the most. However, the Halloween you described seems to be a little different from the real Halloween legend."

"Not quite the same?" Lin Ye frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
