The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Where exactly will the trigger for the outbreak be?

Pushing up her glasses, Xilin sat in front of the monitor like a professional doctor, flipping through the data report in her hand.

Finally, she put the report aside and nodded to the reserved Margaret.

"Your current condition is much better than the initial diagnosis. If this trend continues, your strength will likely gradually recover."

"However, this process may take a little longer than you expect."

“I looked at the previous reports and compared them to the past when there was basically no chance of recovery, now it only takes about a year.”

"I can prepare a medicine for you that will shorten this time to six months, but that's all I can do."

Shirin felt a little apologetic about the outcome, but she had done all she could.

A legendary alchemist can create a potion tailored to your needs, cutting the time in half – that's actually quite good.

But for Margaret's team, this result still took too long.

Margaret and Jiang Wan remained silent, their hearts heavy.

Six months is a truly devastating time for them.

Ning Feng couldn't speak at this moment and could only watch silently.

"Phew... Dr. Lin, come here for a moment."

In the silence, Jiang Wan suddenly walked to Xilin's side, grabbed her hand, and led her into the room next door, closing the door behind them.

Bang!

???

What are you going to do?

Jiang Wan pinned Xilin against the wall, pressed Xilin's shoulders, and spoke earnestly:

"Stop pretending."

"I already know!"

Looking at Jiang Wan, Xilin felt a headache coming on...

What do you know?

That's what you said!

---Aside---

Progress of the situation:

I went to the hospital and they drew two tubes of blood, one to test for COVID-19 and the other for malaria.

Good news: I don't have malaria.

Bad news: I contracted COVID-19 and have a lot of antibodies in my body, while my last vaccination was nine months ago.

Another piece of good news: I've recovered from COVID-19...

In other words, when I had a cold a while ago, I actually contracted COVID-19, but I just treated it as a cold and toughed it out.

In addition to working a regular job every day, I also update 6,000 words daily...

hiss……

Thinking about it that way, it's pretty outrageous.

So, in this absurd situation, I went home to rest while I had a low-grade fever.

Let me see if I can do something even more outrageous.

I have two hours left. Let me see if I can finish today's final update in my current state...

Please forgive any flaws or poor writing...

Chapter 138 You know this now! (Please subscribe, vote with monthly tickets, comment, and recommend!)

Just give me a quick death!

I don't care whether you kill me or torture me, just give me a quick death...

Shirin was almost in tears.

Never before had Shirin felt such loathing for the Riddler.

Can't you just explain yourself clearly?

Where you live, would you be fined for speaking clearly?

Will I die!?

After experiencing such repeated torment and constant psychological anguish, Xilin now feels that even if things are exposed, it's not a big deal.

She now desperately wants to confess to herself and end this painful torment.

Are you two crazy?!

What kind of extreme torture is this?!

"Ugh……"

Shaking her head with a tearful expression, Shirin had a sudden realization.

She has completely come to terms with it.

I said, "Isn't that enough?"

I've confessed everything, please stop torturing me.

"I admit, at the very beginning, it was indeed..."

Seizing the moment when Xilin was on the verge of tears, Jiang Wan suddenly moved her face close, staring intently at her, and said abruptly:

"Stop pretending! You are the legend!"

Jiang Wan had been waiting for this moment, launching a sudden sneak attack. She carefully observed Xilin's every reaction.

Shock, confusion, fear... utterly bewildered.

That's right, this is exactly the reaction Jiang Wan had envisioned when Xilin's identity was exposed!

This idea didn't just come to her on a whim.

She had guessed long ago that Shireen would be a mysterious figure, but she hadn't dared to think of her as a legend.

"Heh heh, I found out!"

With a smug look on her face, Jiang Wan's appearance seemed particularly... in Xilin's eyes.

cute.

Oh, so that's what you know!

awesome!

That's awesome!

...Ha, how naive!

That's incredibly naive!

You've been trying to scare me with this for ages, haven't you?

But this wonderful misunderstanding is good... no, it's perfect!

The shock on her face quickly faded, eventually turning into helplessness, and Shirley put on a calm and composed facade.

At this moment, Shirin's acting skills reached the pinnacle of her career.

Like a powerful figure whose identity had been exposed, Xilin didn't push Jiang Wan away. She just glanced at her and said indifferently:

"You guessed it?"

"However, it doesn't matter if you know about this."

"My identity is not something you can flaunt. I'm sorry, not many people care about my reputation."

Let me tell you the truth.

More than two hundred years have passed, and probably not many people still recognize "Xilin," let alone the identity of "Dr. Lin."

Give up.

"Why would I use your name to show off? I'm not a child."

Shaking her head, Jiang Wan then asked seriously:

"Dr. Lin, I hope you can help my captain more diligently."

"If she really decides to leave the team early because her recovery time is too long and she doesn't want to be a burden to us... then we'll really have no choice but to let Ning Feng join our team."

"I'm sorry, I know this request is a bit rude, but you're the only legend I can find right now."

Jiang Wan lowered her head deeply, showing her attitude and apology.

Jiang Wan had a headache.

Emotionally speaking, Jiang Wan was naturally very supportive of Ning Feng joining the team, as they would have more time together and wouldn't have to be separated.

But rationally speaking, she was worried about Ning Feng's joining.

Ning Feng's strength is still somewhat lacking, and the succubus bloodline is not like the red dragon bloodline, which is mainly for melee combat. The entire team's combat strategy needs to be readjusted.

Not to mention, Margaret's final fate will also be a huge problem.

The best solution right now is to allow Margaret's recovery time to be within her acceptable range, while Ning Feng can act alongside them during this period.

However, she also knew that such a perfect coincidence was rare in the world, but she held onto a sliver of hope and asked Shirin for help.

"I've really done everything... wait?"

By extracting information from Ning Feng's name in Jiang Wan's words, Xilin suddenly realized that this was an opportunity she couldn't let go of.

If Ning Feng were to join Jiang Wan's team and spend every day with her, while she herself never even saw him...

What am I even arguing about then?
