On the Ark.

“And…” Hamer said softly after Ifrit had walked away, “Thank you for taking care of Ifrit today.”

"Huh? You already said that."

“It’s different.” Himer shook his head. “Ifrit is actually very averse to strangers. Apart from a few people, it’s difficult for anyone to get close to her.”

Lin Ye was stunned.

"It seems she likes you quite a bit." Hemer smiled faintly. "Dr. Lin Ye, right? This child might be in your hands for a while."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Standing still, Lin Ye scratched his head and suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders grow even heavier.

Chapter 51 I know how to use the elevator

Lin Ye almost forgot about the demon.

When he ran to Kal'tsit's laboratory, he found a white figure sitting by the laboratory door, looking up at the ceiling, wondering what was so interesting about it.

It's the nightingale, of course.

Lin Ye immediately walked over: "Why are you sitting here?"

Nightingale then lowered her head and looked at Lin Ye.

"Where is Dr. Kal'tsit?" Lin Ye asked. "Why aren't you inside?"

The nightingale spoke slowly: "A physical examination..."

"Ok?"

“Dr. Kal'tsit…gave me a physical examination,” Nightingale said. “After that, I came out.”

"...How long have you been out?"

The nightingale shook her head: "I don't know."

This is really difficult.

Lin Ye scratched his head: "Did Dr. Kal'tsit kick you out?"

“No.” Nightingale continued to shake her head. “Dr. Kal’tsit… has work to do. Very important work. I could sense that she wasn’t in a good mood, so I came out.”

What's with the "not in a good mood" thing? Can a nightingale really sense other people's feelings? That's quite an improvement!

"Then what are you doing here? Didn't Dr. Kal'tsit tell you where the room is?"

“I did,” Nightingale said slowly, “13F.”

"Then why don't you just go there? Oh, you don't know the way."

“I know the way. I can just take the elevator, and I know how to take the elevator,” Nightingale said. “Dr. Kal'tsit asked me if I wanted her to take me there, and I said no, because I know how to take the elevator.”

This puzzled Lin Ye: "Then why don't you just go there?"

The nightingale was silent for a moment.

"I don't want to talk about it." She got up and walked past Lin Ye.

Lin Ye noticed that Nightingale was holding a small metal box with Rhodes Island's totem on it.

"Did Dr. Kal'tsit give this to you?" Lin Ye caught up with Nightingale and walked alongside her. "Is it a new drug?"

The nightingale did not speak.

"Dr. Kal'tsit examined you, didn't she? What did she say?"

The nightingale ignored it.

"I bought a pineapple bun, do you want some?"

"Yes." She replied briefly and quickly, her gaze immediately turning to Lin Ye's handbag.

"Just kidding, the cafe downstairs doesn't sell pineapple buns, but they do have this." Lin Ye took out a box of tiramisu. "Would you like some?"

The nightingale nodded.

"Here you go. Do you want me to carry this metal box for you?"

Nightingale thought for a moment and decided that carrying the box wouldn't make it easy to eat the cake, so she handed the box to Lin Ye and took the tiramisu from him, then started nibbling on it in small bites. Lin Ye could only carry the food bag in one hand and the box in the other, following beside Nightingale.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Ye asked Nightingale.

Nightingale nodded; she didn't actually need to answer, because her mouth was already covered in cake crumbs.

Seeing that Nightingale was finally paying attention to her, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, the little devil's personality was quite good; it was well-behaved when eating, much better than the devil she had just encountered. So Lin Ye said, "I just met one of your kind."

"My kind?" Nightingale asked between bites of cake.

"Hmm, do you remember a Sarkaz named Ifrit?"

Nightingale shook her head: "All I know is that the Shining are brethren."

"Don't forget Yan Rong and the Fu Rong sisters, they took care of you for so long."

Nightingale nodded: "Yes, and Flame Fusion and Hibiscus. I haven't forgotten, I just can't remember them."

If you can't remember, it's just that you forgot... It's fortunate that Yan Rong and Fu Rong are so carefree. It would be too tragic if they could take care of people for so long and not remember them at all.

As they talked, the two entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 13th floor.

Nightingale finished her tiramisu. Since Lin Ye forgot to get a fork, she ate it with her hands, making a mess of her mouth and hands. She even tried to lick her fingers, but Lin Ye stopped her.

My god, you're a devil! Can you please stop being so embarrassing?

"Wipe your mouth." Lin Ye handed Nightingale a tissue. "Don't be so embarrassing, I have more here."

“It’s not shameful at all,” Nightingale tried to teach Lin Ye. “You should cherish your food.”

"Really? Then please finish the ration of vegetables that the medical team gives you every day, okay?"

The nightingale shook its head: "Vegetables are not food."

As expected of a demon, his skill in sophistry is so natural and excellent.

The door opened, and the two stepped out of the elevator. When they reached the 13th floor, Lin Ye noticed a problem.

He doesn't seem to know where his room is.

He couldn't possibly live with Nightingale, could he? Even though Rhodes Island had already designated him as Nightingale's half "guardian," if he shamelessly moved into a room with Nightingale, who knew nothing, a certain true demon, who was read as a doctor but written as a sword saint, would probably draw his sword.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye decided to ask Kal'tsit.

So he gave all the luxury desserts that cost him most of his fortune to Nightingale.

"Go back and get some rest." Although it hurt a little, Lin Ye held back. "I don't know if there's anyone here to take care of you. If not, then take care of yourself."

Nightingale accepted the dessert, her eyes lighting up.

"Pineapple bun, aren't you going to eat one?"

Lin Ye sighed, "Even at a time like this, you still can't remember my name? Fine, pineapple bun it is then. You can keep these. I don't like desserts."

The nightingale nodded, seemingly understanding.

Good night.

Just as Lin Ye was about to return home, Nightingale stopped him again.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Nightingale with some confusion.

Nightingale reached out and handed Lin Ye a crumpled piece of paper: "This is your room."

Lin Ye opened the note with some surprise, only to see "13G" written on it.

"Dr. Kal'tsit gave it to you?"

“Hmm.” Nightingale nodded. “I’m 13F, and you’re 13G. She was afraid I’d forget, so she wrote me a note.”

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then understood: "You waited for me for so long because..."

Before Lin Ye could finish speaking, Nightingale turned around, turned the doorknob, and said lightly, "I told you, I would use the elevator."

Lin Ye stood in the corridor for a long time.

Then I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pineapple bun it is then," he said as he walked towards his room.

He felt much better and had a smile on his face.

The smile lasted until he entered his room, and then disappeared when he saw the ranger, shirtless, lying on the bed and greeting him.

"Hey, you're finally back." The forest ranger smiled warmly.

Chapter 52 Kal'tsit's Request

The next day, Kal'tsit frowned slightly as she looked at Lin Ye, who entered the lab with heavy dark circles under his eyes: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No, nothing." Lin Ye felt pain all over his body. "I'm having some insomnia."

Kal'tsit tapped the table and said calmly, "As a psychologist, you're supposed to treat other people's insomnia, how can you suffer from insomnia yourself?"

"...Who else should I help treat for insomnia?"

"Commander Chen of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, have you forgotten so quickly?"

Lin Ye's lips twitched: "I thought you were joking."

“It was indeed a joke, or rather, just playing along. But even if it's a performance, you have to make it convincing and real,” Kal'tsit said. “Now that you're a highly paid psychologist at Rhodes Island, you should act like a professional psychologist, otherwise you'll only be looked down upon by the people of Lungmen. So I suggest you go back and wash your face properly.”

Lin Ye sighed: "I know. But is this why you called me here so early in the morning?"

Kal'tsit shook her head: "Of course not."

It was still dark when Kal'tsit dialed the landline in Lin Ye's room, asking him to come to the lab to find her. Having not slept all night and just about to fall asleep, Lin Ye was dragged out of bed by Kal'tsit and arrived in a daze. His mental state was naturally far from good. Although there was no mirror, Lin Ye knew he looked about the same as a middle school student who spent all night in an internet cafe.

As for why Lin Ye couldn't sleep... he wasn't really sure himself. The Ranger was a great roommate; unlike Ansel, he didn't grind his teeth all night and didn't snore. But every time the Ranger turned over, Lin Ye felt a chill down his spine, as if something slippery had crawled into his clothes. Although he knew it was just his imagination, it tormented him all night, leaving him stiff and sore all night, naturally resulting in backache, leg cramps, and other ailments when he woke up.

"Here." Kal'tsit produced a bulging envelope from somewhere, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Lin Ye. "This is your first month's salary."

Lin Ye was stunned.

“Although you haven’t been with the company for a full month yet,” Kal’tsit said, her slender fingers interlaced as she rested her chin on her hand, “you must be broke. Desserts in Lungmen aren’t cheap.”
