On the Ark.

Wait a minute, he's not doing anything wrong, so why is he acting so guilty? He's clearly just here to test whether he has a new ability.

Thinking this, Lin Ye straightened his back a little more and then knocked on the door again.

Ten seconds later, the door opened.

Nightingale stood behind the door, tilting her head to look at Lin Ye: "Pineapple bun?"

Lin Ye lowered his voice and said, "It's me."

Why are you here?

"Didn't I tell you at the party? I'm coming to your room tonight." Lin Ye looked around nervously.

“Oh,” Nightingale remembered, “you’re going to sleep with me.”

"Sleep my foot... I want you to sleep, not to sleep with you! Forget it, just let me in."

"Hmm." Nightingale still trusted Lin Ye unconditionally and turned her body to the side.

Lin Ye looked around a couple more times to make sure no one had seen him, then quickly slipped into Nightingale's room.

The moment he stepped into the room, he felt something was amiss.

Damn it, I wasn't doing anything wrong! Why am I so guilty?!

Nightingale looked at Lin Ye, who was in a fit of impotent rage, and asked with some curiosity, "Pineapple Bun?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Lin Ye turned to look at Nightingale's pajamas and casually asked, "Have you already taken a shower?"

"Yes," Nightingale nodded. "And you?"

"I'll shower later... wait, wait, wait." Lin Ye rubbed his forehead, looking quite troubled. "The topic is a bit off. You should go to bed quickly."

"how about you?"

"I have things to do."

Are you going to wait until I fall asleep before you do anything?

Lin Ye hummed in response, then realized that something was off about the conversation, so he glared at Nightingale.

The nightingale turned her head away: "But I'm not sleepy."

"You'll get sleepy if I'm here." After successfully hypnotizing Chen, Lin Ye suddenly became confident in his abilities.

"But my hair isn't dry yet."

"I'll dry it for you."

Lin Ye took a towel from the cabinet, looking quite skilled. After all, this was his profession; he couldn't even remember how many pets he had bathed. Drying a girl's hair was probably no different from scrubbing a cat's fur.

So Nightingale sat down, and Lin Ye began to furiously beat the demon's head.

It has to be said that the smell of a demon is still better than that of a cat or dog.

The nightingale's eyes were covered by a towel, so she said, "Pineapple Bun, I can't see you."

"Why do you have to see me?" Lin Ye said. "Your hair is almost dry, you can go to sleep soon."

"I don't want to sleep."

"So what do you want to do?"

I want to eat a pineapple bun.

"Eat it tomorrow, it's easy to gain weight if you eat it at night."

What does it look like to gain weight?

Lin Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know about Lin Guang?"

Nightingale tried to shake her head, but Lin Ye had already held her head down, so she couldn't move it at all. She could only say, "I don't know."

"You've forgotten, you'll see her when you go back, right next to Shining."

"Hmm. What's wrong with her?"

"She's quite chubby because she ate too many pineapple buns."

Lin Ye had a slightly mischievous glint in his eye. Although he knew Lin Guang wasn't fat, he just looked somewhat muscular in his heavy armor. But once he took off the armor, he still had an impressive physique; after all, he had seen it.

"really?"

"...It's fake. Nearl isn't actually fat." Thinking of Nearl's axe, Lin Ye felt it was better to stay put.

The nightingale responded with an "oh".

Lin Ye quickly dried Nightingale's hair.

"Alright, you should go to sleep now, Liz." Lin Ye moved a stool and sat down beside Nightingale's bed. "I'll stay here with you, so sleep soundly."

Nightingale tilted her head and looked at Lin Ye: "Are you going to teach me advanced mathematics too?"

"If you can't sleep."

The nightingale lay obediently on the bed.

"Pineapple bun." Nightingale is also called Lin Ye.

"Ok?"

Do you have any other stories?

Yes, organic chemistry.

Lin Ye thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud. Instead, he asked, "What do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear the story of the pineapple bun."

“Me? I don’t have any story.” Lin Ye shook his head. “I’m just an ordinary person.”

"No, Pineapple Bun is a very capable person."

"No way."

“Yes, there is.” The demon was a little stubborn.

“So what if I have one?” Lin Ye shrugged. “But I really don’t have any stories to brag about. They’re all about cats and dogs. I used to rent a run-down house and kept seven cats and a dog there.”

Why raise so many?

“It’s not that I wanted to keep so many, it’s that they came to me,” Lin Ye said. “At first I only had one cat, but that cat died. After it died, stray cats and dogs would often come to me… I don’t know if it was afraid I would be lonely, so it called so many companions to keep me company.”

"What an interesting story."

"What's interesting about this... Can this even be considered a story?"

“Yes,” Nightingale said softly. “It was very interesting. Pineapple Bun was a very nice person and had a very nice cat.”

Lin Ye smiled: "I don't know if I'm a good person, but I did have a very good cat."

Are you sad?

"Ok?"

"When it died."

Lin Ye was silent for a moment, then smiled softly: "Of course I'm sad, it's impossible not to be. I've raised eight cats in total, but I've always thought of it as the most special one."

"...Don't be sad," the nightingale's voice floated softly. "Don't be sad."

"Ok?"

Lin Ye looked at the nightingale and found that the nightingale had closed its eyes at some point, and after muttering a few words of "Don't be sad", it fell silent.

"Liz?" Lin Ye tentatively called Nightingale's name.

The nightingale did not respond.

"Tsk, you really fall asleep quickly." Lin Ye shook his head with a smile, then took a deep breath, slowly placed his hand on Nightingale's forehead, and closed his eyes.

A gentle warmth spread through my palm.

……

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a narrow, dirty passage.

Sure enough, this was his ability.

Just as Lin Ye had this thought, he heard heavy and hurried footsteps behind him.

He instinctively turned around and was immediately knocked down by a tall demon.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Ability Test (Part Two) (Nineteen chapters to be added)

Lin Ye was completely bewildered when he was suddenly knocked down by the demon and ended up covered in dust.

He originally thought his new ability was to enter dreams or the spiritual world, but the sensation of the collision and the pain of hitting his nose when he fell were undoubtedly telling Lin Ye that this was not a dream.

It wasn't a dream; it felt like he had traveled to another world once again.

He got up from the ground, watching the demon hurriedly disappear into the distance. It was probably a male demon; this was the first time Lin Ye had ever seen a male Sarkaz. Compared to Nightingale, Shining, Ifrit, and the group of female demons at the medical facility that Lin Ye had encountered, the male demon was much more robust, moving like a small mountain, and the horns on his forehead were the largest and most exaggerated he had seen since arriving in this world of Terra.

Unfortunately, the other party ran too fast, and Lin Ye couldn't see his face.

"What the hell? Where am I?" Lin Ye observed his surroundings.

As mentioned before, it was a dark and filthy passageway filled with a nauseating stench. The walls were covered with marks from sharp instruments and bloodstains were everywhere.

This passage must have been built underground.

A filthy, dilapidated underground passage, where a male demon roams.

Well, no matter where this is, Lin Ye felt that his first priority was to ensure his own safety.

He put his hand into his pocket.

Before leaving, he made sure to bring the python and the small box of bullets, just in case he encountered any unexpected situations.

only……

Lin Ye rummaged in his pocket, then frowned deeply.

Where's the gun?

My gun is so big! It was just here a moment ago.
