On the Ark.

“Not for now.” Nian shook his head. “First of all, I’m not good at dealing with souls. Secondly, my power is too great. If I were to intervene rashly, I could easily destroy Lin Ye’s soul.”

Kal'tsit frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Just as Nian was about to explain, the door to the room was pushed open, and Warfarin walked in impatiently: "Why did you suddenly call me over? I'm incredibly busy, you know. If there's nothing else..."

Before she could finish speaking, Warfarin paused, stunned, when she saw Lin Ye standing in front of her.

Why did he come back?

A few minutes later, Warfarin fainted.

Although she woke up quickly, she was like a rooster with its feathers standing on end, looking like she wanted to tear Kal'tsit apart.

"What did I say?!" Warfarin said through gritted teeth, "How many times have I told you! Lin Ye is Rhodes Island's most important asset, he absolutely, positively cannot be harmed! Even if he hates me, I absolutely must keep him on Rhodes Island and protect him! But what did you do? You just wouldn't listen..."

Although Kal'tsit had already guessed Warfarin's reaction, she still felt a bit of a headache. After all, Warfarin's feelings for Lin Ye were second to none even in Rhodes Island. Although the nature of these feelings was different from others, it could be said that when Warfarin discovered "L cells" in Lin Ye's blood, Lin Ye had already ranked first in her heart.

No one knows what a mad scholar might do when he learns that what he values ​​most has been destroyed. Fortunately, when Warfarin learned that Lin Ye was not truly "dead," she calmed down a bit and didn't continue her rampage.

"Is that abomination really that insurmountable?" For Warfarin, who already knew Nian's identity, an enemy that even Nian couldn't defeat was clearly unimaginable. "Then what can we do now?"

Kal'tsit also asked, "Should we notify the one in Kal'lan?"

“There’s no need.” Nian shook his head and said, “That woman in the snow mountain must have known immediately. Although I don’t know if she will come, to be honest, even if she does, it won’t make a difference. Because Lin Ye’s body can no longer withstand the invasion of a third force. At most, she can only assist.”

"Assist? Assist whom?"

“Of course it’s Lin Ye himself,” the young voice said. “Within Lin Ye’s body, only he himself can fight against hatred.”

Chapter 661 The Most Desired

Lin Ye stared blankly at the food in his bowl.

"Are you full, darling?" A soft voice sounded in his ear. Lin Ye looked up at the woman sitting opposite him with a smile on her face, and then gently hummed in agreement.

"You don't look well," the woman asked. "Is the food not to your liking?"

Lin Ye replied, "It's delicious."

The woman asked again, "Does that mean you're not satisfied with me?"

Lin Ye said, "No, I'm very satisfied."

The woman tilted her head and looked at Lin Ye: "Then why is that?"

Lin Ye was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I don't know either."

From the moment he woke up until now, it felt like many days had passed, yet also like only a few hours. During this time, Lin Ye had been in a constant cycle of sleeping, waking up, eating, and sleeping again, his mind foggy and unsure of what to do. He usually did whatever the woman told him to do.

This kind of life felt very unfamiliar to him. Although a voice inside him seemed to say that he had always lived this kind of life, he had no memory of the past at all.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Ye turned his head to look over, but did not get up.

During this time, the knocking sound was like background music playing in the house, appearing intermittently. Sometimes it was intense, as if it wanted to tear the whole house apart, and sometimes it was so soft that it was almost inaudible if you didn't pay attention. Lin Ye had been wanting to open the door to see what was outside and who was knocking, but he was stopped by the woman time and time again.

"There's nothing outside the door," the woman said casually. "You just stay inside, and I'll take care of the rest."

Lin Ye stopped moving, and just as the woman had said, the knocking became less and less frequent. Most of the time, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, as if silence was the very tone of the world.

There seems to be nothing wrong.

"Okay, darling." The woman moved closer to Lin Ye again, her alluring lips only centimeters away from his. She said in an extremely seductive tone, "Give me a kiss, okay?"

Lin Ye looked up at the woman, and in her eyes, he saw a slightly confused version of himself.

"……kiss?"

"Yes," the woman asked softly, "Don't you love me?"

"I……"

"Don't know how to answer?" The woman tilted her head and said, "Then let's ask it another way: Do you hate me?"

Lin Ye shook his head; he didn't dislike women.

"If you don't mind, would you be willing to let me continue taking care of you like this?" the woman said with a smile. "Take care of you like this for the rest of my life?"

"Take care of me like this...for the rest of my life?"

“Yes, for a lifetime,” the woman said softly. “Give me everything, just like now, and then never be apart.”

Looking into the woman's eyes, Lin Ye instinctively wanted to agree.

After all, he seemed to have always lived this kind of life, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, with such a beautiful woman by his side. Who wouldn't want to live like this forever? But Lin Ye didn't know why, when faced with the woman's words, "Leave everything to me," Lin Ye fell silent.

There seemed to be an instinct within him resisting those words, a feeling that if he agreed, something irreversible would happen.

But he didn't know what it was.

But he slowly shook his head and rejected the woman.

Seeing Lin Ye's actions, a hint of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, maintaining her charming smile: "Is that so? You still don't want to accept me? But it doesn't matter."

The woman raised her hand and gently stroked Lin Ye's cheek.

“I will keep waiting,” the woman said. “Soon, I believe very soon, you will be willing to give me everything, everything.”

……

“According to Lateran’s records, hatred can freely invade a human’s soul and obliterate them without their knowledge.” Kal’tsit said seriously to everyone present while flipping through the documents in her hand. “Although I don’t know what invading a soul looks like, I think it is somewhat similar to Lin Ye’s ability to enter other people’s dreams.”

Anderscher nodded and said, "Indeed, in the legends of Lateran, Abomination has the ability to turn good people into extremely evil people, and has the power to control people's hearts, which is why it is called Abomination."

“And because he possesses power comparable to that of a god, mortals have no chance of defeating him in the soul or dream world,” Kal’tsit said in a low voice. “But Lin Ye is different. Lin Ye’s soul is protected by the power of the true god Kalan, and most of the power of the Abomination is sealed in Mostima’s body, so it is unlikely that the Abomination can directly destroy Lin Ye’s soul.”

Nian, who was listening from the side, said unhappily, "That's why I hate Western gods. They like these underhanded methods. Isn't it better to have a fair fight?"

No one dared to respond to Nian's words, after all, Nian was commenting on gods as a god, while the others present were just mortals, who could only feel troubled and fearful of the power of gods.

“There’s no use complaining now.” Kal’tsit was probably the only one who could still speak normally after learning Nian’s identity. She said, “In any case, our primary task now is to separate Lin Ye from the power of Abomination. But before that, we must know the current state of Lin Ye and Abomination, and how exactly souls clash.”

Andercher pondered for a moment and said, "If Abomination's strength hadn't been damaged, I believe it would have had the absolute power to directly destroy the Doctor's soul. But its strength is far less than before, and the Doctor is protected by the power of the True God. I think Abomination will have to use some means to succeed."

"means?"

Andercher nodded: "In the legends of Lateran, the devil can take the form of the things that humans desire most, tempting pure people into the abyss. Hatred is also a devil in a way, and it is very likely that it also has this ability. Since it cannot directly destroy the Doctor's soul, it can tempt the Doctor to willingly hand over his soul to itself. In this way, the power of the true god's protection can be bypassed, right?"

"What does Lin Ye desire most?" Kal'tsit frowned slightly. "What could that be?"

At this moment, Ying Li, who had been listening for a long time, had a strange expression. She whispered, "Could it be... a woman?"

……

……

Author's Note: I've been feeling really bad lately. It's like I know exactly how to end it, but I don't know how to write it. And a lot of upsetting things have happened. My cat fell from the twelfth floor the night before last, and we didn't find it until dawn. Seeing it covered in blood, lying on the bricks… I really don't know how to describe how I felt.

Well, thankfully he survived. He's still in the hospital and won't be able to have surgery for another two days.

All I want to do now is finish writing this book; I don't want to think about anything else.

Chapter 662 Is Lin Ye a virgin?

What Lin Ye desires most is... a woman?

Ying Li's statement seemed absurd to everyone at first glance, but upon closer examination, it seemed to make some sense... no, upon closer examination, it seemed quite reasonable. After all, everyone present had witnessed Lin Ye's excellent relationships with women, and even Ying Li, who had the shortest contact with Lin Ye, could make such a judgment, let alone the others.

"You mean..." Ansel said hesitantly, "that monster called Abomination might very well be disguised as a woman in Lin Ye's consciousness to tempt him to give up his body and soul?"

Anderscher nodded: "It's not impossible."

“But that doesn’t make sense,” Ansel said. “Who would risk their life for a woman?”

Ansel's words hit the nail on the head.

After a moment's thought, Ying Li said, "Indeed, only a man who has never been with a woman before could be attracted by beauty. But given how popular Lin Ye is with women, it's unlikely..."

Halfway through her sentence, Ying Li noticed that everyone had fallen silent.

She immediately sensed that something was amiss: "No way, Lin Ye..."

"You've hit the nail on the head, no wonder you're his sister." Warfarin gave Ying Li a thumbs up, then looked at everyone present, "I don't know much about Lin Ye's private life, so can you tell me, Lin Ye isn't a virgin, is he?"

The crowd looked at each other, but no one answered her.

"No way..." Warfarin first looked at Kal'tsit, "Kal'tsit, didn't you and Lin Ye...?"

Kal'tsit remained expressionless: "Do you think that's possible?"

"Tsk, what a useless fellow." Warfarin shook her head, then began to recall Lin Ye's social circle, "Lin Ye and Nightingale..."

Kal'tsit coughed twice: "Liz is his patient, and just a child. Don't overthink it."

"What about Eyjafjalla?"

“She was more seriously ill and was younger than Liz.”

"So what if she's small?" Warfarin said, clearly displeased. "Is being small a problem? Besides, how is Eyjafjalla small? Do you think I don't know she's already an adult?"

Andersel said rather awkwardly, "Have we gone a bit off-topic?"

"Where is this off-topic? How is this off-topic?" Warfarin tapped the table, raising her voice. "We're all scholars, and scholars should approach and debate issues from a scholar's perspective. In nature, most creatures that haven't yet experienced the pleasure of intercourse are more easily tempted than experienced ones!"

"Old, experienced driver?" Ying Li didn't understand. "What does that mean?"

“He’s a seasoned player in love.” Warfarin glanced at Ying Li. “Your brother will definitely understand immediately.”

Ying Li felt looked down upon.

"Alright, Warfarin." Kal'tsit felt a headache coming on, and she was starting to regret calling Warfarin here. "What we need to do now is..."

"Take the right medicine!" Warfarin said emphatically. "We must first find out if Lin Ye is a virgin. If he really is, then I'm sure he will be seduced by Abomination's beauty. But if he isn't, and he's already at the level of XX (censored word) XXX (vulgar word), then ordinary beauty will definitely be useless to him. Abomination will definitely try other methods, and then we'll need a new strategy to deal with him."

Kal'tsit wanted to tell Warfarin to shut up, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Warfarin said made some sense. After all, the other party really wanted to save Lin Ye, and was not just joking around. So she held back and tacitly accepted Warfarin's "in-depth analysis" of Lin Ye.

“Then, Nightingale and Eyjafjalla are out of the question for now.” Warfarin continued to ponder the women who had interacted with Lin Ye, “Is Ifrit a possibility?”

"Hermer will kill him."

"Oh yeah... is there any possibility for Himer?"

"...Saria will kill him."
