On the Ark.

Lin Ye told the others about this.

Yan Rong nodded: "Indeed, my sister and I don't have any terrible past. If I had to say, it would be the time when we were diagnosed with Oripathy. My sister felt like her whole life was bleak back then, but thankfully our parents protected us."

Lin Ye saw a hint of envy in Shining's eyes.

Ten minutes later, Furong also woke up.

"All the data are normal." Yan Rong handed the report to Fu Rong. "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Furong shook her head and said with a smile, "I just feel like I had a good sleep and a good dream. I saw you in my dream, Yanrong, you were fighting with the neighbor's kid for food."

Yan Rong said expressionlessly, "You're mistaken. That's not true at all."

Furong smiled broadly.

Lin Guang asked Lin Ye, "Didn't you try to contact Hibiscus in your dreams?"

“I made contact,” Lin Ye said. “I even spoke to her for a few minutes, but I mostly just watched from the sidelines.”

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Fu Rong seemed somewhat surprised: "Really? But I have absolutely no recollection of you, Dr. Lin Ye."

"Perhaps your dreams are more lighthearted."

"Then it's Yan Rong's turn?" Fu Rong looked at Yan Rong. "Do you want one too?"

“You’ve all tried it, so I have no reason to exclude you,” Yan Rong said. “Although I don’t think my dream will be anything special either.”

"Yes, after all, we're sisters."

As he spoke, Yan Rong replaced Fu Rong, lay down on the chair, and took sleeping pills.

Actually, Lin Ye was already feeling quite tired at this point. He didn't know if it was because he had been using his abilities frequently or because he was hungry; he felt like a teenager who had just finished an all-night gaming session. However, since Yan Rong had already lain down, he couldn't rest any longer. Just as he was about to go over and use his abilities on Yan Rong, Nightingale tugged at his sleeve.

Lin Ye turned to look at Nightingale and saw that Nightingale was handing him a pineapple bun: "Here, this is for you."

"For me?" Lin Ye was taken aback.

"Yes." Nightingale nodded.

Aren't you going to eat?

“You didn’t eat breakfast,” Nightingale said slowly. “Hibiscus told me that it’s not good to skip breakfast, so here you are.”

Lin Ye was deeply moved, feeling as if his own unlucky child had suddenly grown up.

"Alright, then I won't be polite." Lin Ye took the pineapple bun.

Although Nightingale gave the pineapple bun to Lin Ye, she was still a little reluctant to part with it. She kept her eyes on it, watching Lin Ye eat it bite by bite before she looked away. After Lin Ye finished eating, he patted his stomach. Although it was just a dessert and not nearly as much as his usual meals, the sentimental value made him feel a continuous surge of energy after eating it.

My mind is much clearer now.

"Alright, leave it to me." Lin Ye walked up to Yan Rong and took her hand. "Let's begin."

Yan Rong opened his eyes, glanced at Lin Ye, and said calmly, "Doctor, I'm not asleep yet."

Lin Ye: "..."

Ten minutes later, Yan Rong fell asleep, and Lin Ye entered a dream.

Half an hour later, the dream ended, and Lin Ye opened his eyes as he emerged from the dream.

Facing Furong's expectant gaze, Lin Ye shrugged: "You're right, Yanrong's dream is almost identical to yours, with no difference whatsoever. You really are sisters, aren't you?"

Hibiscus's bright eyes were full of laughter: "Of course, we're sisters."

Shining took the report, glanced at it, and said, "Still no fluctuations, perfectly normal."

"Isn't it good to be normal?" Furong asked.

“If it’s normal, then Liz is the most special one,” Nearl said with a hint of helplessness. “We can’t find a sample similar to her, so naturally we can’t take appropriate protective measures for Liz’s condition.”

“Let Liz fall into a deep sleep,” Shining said. “The previous two times, Liz fell asleep normally, so let’s give her the medication this time as well.”

Nearl turned to look at Shining: "I originally thought you were the last person who wanted to use the drug on Liz."

“In a hopeless situation, I certainly wouldn’t need Liz to suffer from the drugs any longer,” Shining said softly. “But now it’s clearly different. If deep sleep can prevent Liz from losing control upon waking and causing further damage to her mental state, then the drugs are necessary.”

Lin Guang didn't respond to Shining's words, but instead turned to Lin Ye: "Dr. Lin Ye, what are your thoughts?"

"My thoughts?" Lin Ye was taken aback.

“You’re Liz’s attending physician, aren’t you?” Nearl said. “We’ve all been cooperating with you this time.”

Lin Ye said helplessly, "But I know absolutely nothing about pharmacology."

“So I can make the final decision on this.” Shining said, glancing at Nightingale. “Liz, what do you think?”

Liz nodded; her stance had been made clear long ago. She was a stubborn devil, sticking to her principles in everything, big or small.

Having said that, Lin Guang had no way to refute it. After all, in the absence of samples that fully meet the requirements, it is necessary to take risks and try some things.

"Then it's up to you, Dr. Lin Ye," Lin Guang said.

Facing the expectant and complicated gazes of the crowd, Lin Ye felt immense pressure.

"Wait, I want to ask for help."

“Aid? Just tell us who you want us to help you.”

"No." Lin Ye took out his phone, dialed a number, and held it to his ear. "I need help... Bai Gugu? Wake up and come help me."

Chapter 114 The Inferences about the White-faced Owl (4K words)

Since the decision has been made to use the ability on Nightingale, then thorough preparation is essential. Even if it's unavoidable that Nightingale will be harmed, the damage must be minimized. This is why Lin Ye called White Owl over. Although White Owl seems rather dim-witted and abnormal, and often falls asleep during work, it must be said that her thinking ability is outstanding, at least more so than anyone else present.

Just as White Owl said during the interview, she has excellent data analysis and risk assessment abilities, which Lin Ye has witnessed and which is exactly what Nightingale needs now.

Upon receiving Lin Ye's summons, White Owl, remembering that she was still Lin Ye's assistant, naturally agreed: "White Owl has received the order. Don't worry, Doctor Lin Ye, White Owl will be there now. Target: Sanatorium."

Do you have any other work on hand? How long would that take?

"The white-faced owl is not currently working. The journey is expected to take about ten minutes."

After saying that, the call ended.

Lin Guang watched as Lin Ye put down the phone, his brows furrowing slightly: "White Owl, those people from Rhine Lab? What do you want her for?"

Lin Ye gave Lin Guang a general overview of the White Owl's strengths.

After listening, Lin Guang remained silent, as if he had tacitly approved of Lin Ye's actions.

But Lin Ye also noticed Lin Guang's attitude, so he tentatively asked, "Don't you like the White Owl?"

“No, I’m not familiar with her.” Nearl didn’t hide anything and said directly, “I just don’t like Rhine Lab. I heard some rumors about Rhine Lab when I was still in Kazimierz, but now that they have joined Rhodes Island, there’s no point in pursuing the past.”

As Ansel had predicted, Himeru and the White Owl's former employer did indeed seem to be a bad place, which explained why the "Knight of Justice," Nearl, couldn't stand it. However, Lin Ye hadn't heard those rumors and had a good impression of the White Owl, so he couldn't possibly share their views.

However, Lin Ye thought again that since White Owl was his assistant, as her superior, it seemed necessary to say a few good words for her and change other people's opinions of her.

“Although I don’t know what unethical things Rhine Lab has done in the past, I think White Owl is pretty good and reliable,” Lin Ye said. “Miss Kal’tsit and Amiya seem to trust her quite a bit.”

After all, he held a rather important position at Rhodes Island: a data administrator.

Nearl glanced at Lin Ye and said calmly, "Amiya trusts everyone on Rhodes Island. As for Kal'tsit... who knows what Kal'tsit is thinking?"

This left Lin Ye unsure how to respond. Thinking it over, he'd only been with Rhodes Island for a little over a month, and everyone present was more senior than him, so it seemed odd for him to offer opinions on personnel matters. With that in mind, Lin Ye fell silent, patiently waiting for Shining to arrive. After all, Shining was there to assist them; if she could successfully help Nightingale, Nearl's opinion of her would naturally change.

However, Lin Ye soon regretted speaking up for the White Owl.

Ten minutes passed, and the White-faced Owl still hadn't appeared. Lin Ye checked his phone and said to Lin Guang, "It should be here soon."

Lin Guang remained silent.

Twenty minutes passed, and Lin Ye, feeling a little embarrassed, said to Lin Guang, "Girls are just so slow."

Lin Guang remained expressionless.

Thirty minutes passed, and Lin Ye still hadn't seen the White Owl. He rubbed his face and said to Lin Guang, "Maybe it's something urgent? I'll make a call first."

Lin Guang's expression was gloomy.

Forty minutes passed, and the call still hadn't gone through. Lin Ye felt like the light beside him was about to explode, and then he heard that familiar voice.

"Coming, coming." White Owl appeared in the room carrying a small bag. "Doctor, your assistant White Owl is here to report for duty."

Lin Ye, who had been standing next to the volcano that was about to explode for more than ten minutes, felt a great sense of relief. He immediately walked up to the white-faced owl and asked in a reproachful tone, "Why did you take so long? Didn't you say you'd be here in ten minutes?"

Ten minutes?

The white-faced owl's ears twitched, it thought for a moment, and replied, "The program is corrupted..."

"You always use the same excuse."

Lin Ye gently tapped the White Owl's head. He didn't mean any harm; he just felt bad that the White Owl, being his assistant, had been so late and he couldn't just leave without saying a word. So, he symbolically tapped the White Owl's head, just to show Lin Guang—our counseling room rules are actually quite strict; this was just an exception.

But to his surprise, the moment his hand touched the white-faced owl's head, the owl immediately shrank back, its ears stood up like straight branches, and it almost fell over, startling Lin Ye.

What are you doing?

Two seconds later, the white-faced owl returned to normal.

“This is a stress response,” the white-faced owl said. “Warning: this may cause harm to the white-faced owl’s body. Please do not touch the white-faced owl’s body unnecessarily next time.”

Lin Ye: "..."

Lin Guang coughed twice: "Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get to work."

The white-faced owl looked at Nearl and its ears twitched again: "Hello, Ms. Nearl, it's a pleasure to meet you."

She greeted everyone present, appearing as a well-behaved and sensible child, which eased Lin Guang's slightly stern expression.

Then, White Owl took off his backpack, took out a laptop from it, and said to Lin Ye, "When you called White Owl, he was in his dormitory. Although you didn't specify what you needed White Owl to do, based on White Owl's calculations, he thought you would most likely need this. So he took a detour, went to the research lab to get the computer first, and then rushed here."

this?

The crowd watched with slight curiosity as the white-faced owl turned on the computer and clicked on a program. Soon, a simulated 3D map appeared on the screen.

Lin Ye's eyes widened: "This is..."

"The 'game' map you mentioned last time," the White Owl said calmly. "I judged it to be important, so I 3D-ified your sketch in the computer. This way, all discussions about the 'game' can be made more intuitive."

Everyone looked surprised, with Lin Ye being the most astonished: "But how did you know we needed this today? I didn't even mention it to you on the phone... No, this map must have been prepared in advance, you guessed it already?"

“Although you tried to explain this ‘game’ to me in a joking manner last time,” said the White-Faced Owl, “I still judged from your various reactions that this was not a simple ‘game.’ Going further back, you knew that I was not mentally sound, yet you still agreed to make me your assistant, which must have been because you valued my strengths: data analysis and risk assessment. This game is less of a test for me and more of my first task. Since it is my first task, I naturally need to take it seriously.”

Lin Ye was speechless; his shock was beyond words. That conversation had led White Owl to deduce so much, and ninety percent of it was correct. The only error was that Lin Ye, knowing White Owl was mentally unstable, hadn't agreed to make her his assistant because he valued her so-called data analysis and risk assessment abilities.
