Swordsman Returns from Another World

Zhenli sighed secretly, but did not expose Lindong's lie now. She just thought to herself that maybe she should follow Zaolu and Lindong when they went to see the doctor next time.

Doctor... such an independent and intelligent person, does his private life really have such a mess?

………………

The next day, Baiyou played chess with Yinhui after work as usual.

"The end of the year is approaching, and there's a New Year atmosphere on the island these past two days." SilverAsh said while playing chess.

Bai You held a white piece in his hand, hesitated for a moment, put it down, and said, "Indeed, I plan to hold an open party on the island, the kind that is open to the outside world, and will invite celebrities like Wei Yanwu."

"Wei Yanwu, I can understand, but celebrities?" Silver Gray dropped the black piece in his hand: "Ally, don't you hate those so-called upper-class people who are entangled in red tape the most?"

"Of course, that's why I invited Wei Yanwu." Bai You chuckled, "Now he and I are on the same page, so let him suffer the socializing. He's used to it anyway."

Silver Gray frowned slightly and asked softly, "Is it really okay for me to know about this kind of thing?"

"After all, I'm from Kalan Trading. Although I have cooperation with Longmen, I have never had any communication with Wei Yanwu. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to tell me about what happened between you and him."

"It's appropriate, of course it's appropriate, what's the big deal?" Baiyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Yinhui, a little surprised: "We have a very good relationship, we are solid allies and good friends, it's just a chat."

A solid ally and a good friend...

Upon hearing this, Yinhui smiled and nodded.

Focus on the chess game in front of you again.

The two got tired of playing Victorian chess, and now they have started playing Yanguo Go. Go has more variations and more complicated situations, and the two have been playing it very enthusiastically recently.

After taking a few steps, Silver Gray changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, ally, your ability to change your form is also very interesting."

"You now look just like Enshia when she was a child. Very cute."

Yinhui narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to hold his tail, and looked at the boy Baiyou who was sitting on the chair in front of him and looked as delicate as a porcelain doll.

"There are so many people who have praised me for being cute, but it feels really different to be praised by you. Let's not do that."

Baiyou pouted his lips. Such a handsome boy with red lips and white teeth looked even more adorable with a sour face.

"Besides, I originally wanted to fight with Jian today, but I didn't expect that after seeing me like this, she didn't even want to fight me. No matter how I provoked her, she ignored me."

Silver Gray laughed: "Who would have the heart to attack such a cute boy? She is not just a warrior who only knows how to fight."

"Speaking of which, the last time you fought her, how did it end?"

Baiyou smacked her lips, remembering the shy yet emotional look of Jian last time, and said happily, "It's just a draw."

"Draw..." SilverAsh seemed to be interested: "I'm curious, ally, why are you obsessed with draws?"

"When we play chess, you always seem to aim for a draw. If Victorian chess wasn't a zero-sum game, most of our games would probably end in a draw."

"I'm not good at winning." Baiyue shrugged.

Just as the two continued to chat, there was a knock on the office door.

"Doctor, are you there?"

The voice outside the door was cold and quiet.

"Please come in." Baiyou said softly.

Skadi pushed open the door and walked into the room. Her calm eyes scanned the entire room and locked onto Baiyue.

"Doctor." She nodded slightly, but didn't say more.

SilverAsh understood what this meant. She sighed, stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with regarding Kalan Trade. Ally, let's finish this game next time."

She raised her hand, picked up her cloak and put it on her shoulders, smiled at Baiyou, turned around, and passed by Skadi.

The door was closed softly by Silver Gray.

Only Baiyue and Skadi were left in the room. Baiyue looked at Skadi, paused for a moment at her unique pants, and then asked, "Skadi, what's wrong?"

"You came to me during your duty hours. Is there something urgent?"

Skadi didn't answer, but just carried her giant sword, came to Baiyou, and then sat in the position where Yinhui was just now.

She lowered her eyes and stared at the chessboard in front of her without saying a word.

Baiyue looked at her in confusion and called softly, "Skadi?"

"…Didi?"

What kind of name is that?

Skadi looked up at Baiyue in confusion, but did not refute. She just whispered, "I'll stay with you for a while."

"Uh, wait a moment?" Baiyou was puzzled.

"Kelsey said that you know a lot of secrets about this land. If you feel confused or lost, or want to seek answers, then stay with you for a while and you will get the answers."

Baiyue had a strange expression on her face: "It sounds like Kal'tsit described me as some kind of Aladdin's magic lamp."

"Aladdin's magic...lamp?" Skadi tilted her head, looking very cute with her confusion.

"Oh, or the magic lamp, a legend about Sargon. It is said that a powerful soul is imprisoned in it. If you rub the magic lamp, it will help you realize your wishes..." Bai Glaze laughed: "Sargon , it is a place so arid that even water is a scarce resource, it sounds very unsuitable for you Agor people, right?"

"...A place without water..." Skadi pondered for a moment and whispered, "I want to go and take a look."

Baiyou was stunned at first, then he realized that was true.

After Skadi, who had just come ashore, found that she could not return to the ocean, she really wanted to go farther, the farther away from the ocean the better.

Skadi first came to Rhode Island, doubting his own worth and troubled by the trouble he was causing.

Baiyou put his fingertips together, looked at Skadi in front of him, and said, "So, do you have any questions that you need my help with?"

Skadi stared at Baiyue, confusion and calmness in her red eyes.

She was in silence, feeling lost.

"Doctor, I want to know...how should I proceed next."

Skadi stared at Baiyou, trying to see even a hint of the same confusion on Baiyou's face. In that case, at least she would feel that she had a companion.

Baiyue did not choose to be her confused companion, but smiled, a smile that was so confident that it seemed as if she knew everything: "Okay, I will show you a way, Skadi."

"Deep-sea hunter, Skadi."

The moment the word "deep sea hunter" came out of her mouth, Skadi's eyes widened. If Baiyou knew that the Agor people could be considered as insiders who had some understanding of the ocean, then the word "deep sea hunter" was completely unfamiliar to most people on the land of Terra.

Chapter 345: Skadi, who taught you!

Those people who survive and hunt in the ocean are a minority among the Agors.

Hearing this word from someone else's mouth brought such surprise and panic that Skadi even reflexively gripped the hilt of the sword.

Baiyou didn't make any move. He ignored Skadi's instinctive hostility and continued, "You have seen Ghost Shark, right? She is in a very bad condition. Now I can tell you that you and Ghost Shark are not the only deep-sea hunters who have come to land."

"Your story has just begun, Skadi. There is no need to feel lost. Just... be hopeful and wait."

Baiyue's smile warmed up: "You have been on the island for a while, haven't you? You have seen what kind of people we are and what kind of place Rhodes Island is."

"So, Skadi, what happened between you and Ghost Shark is Rhodes Island's business. Everything... is happening. You just need to stay calm."

Skadi stared into Baiyue's eyes, wanting to see any signs of lying on his face, just as she wanted to see his confusion before.

But she knew in her heart that it was not a lie.

“…The people on the island are very nice.” She closed her eyes and loosened her hand on the hilt of the sword: “But I’m scared.”

"I raised my hand and crushed their spines with it. I lightly drew my sword and split countless shields and flesh. Since I came to the ground, I have never felt so clearly that I am... terrible, yet powerless."

"I can chop open buildings and split the earth. But this power is with me. However, it cannot help me know...how to proceed."

"Beneath the vast blue in the distance and the white fragments that gently caress the land, buried are all the things I once cared about. I am afraid that bad luck will take away the people that are important to me again, so I choose to flee. I don't want the people I cherish... to be hurt because of me."

Bai You looked at Skadi who closed her eyes and fell silent, and finally said softly: "Skadi, if you choose not to have anything because you are afraid of losing it again, then what is Rhodes Island to you?"

"You are my operator, Skadi, you know what we are doing, right?"

Skadi opened her eyes and looked at Baiyue, with a rare firmness in her eyes: "Heal... the world."

"That's why I decided to come to Rhodes Island... It has nothing to do with me. I just want to see what a group of people who want to heal the world look like."

Baiyue spread out his hands: "In the eyes of the Agor people, the people on land are backward and barbaric, rude and worthless."

"Even if you don't think so yourself, you must have heard similar statements when you were in Agor, right?"

"Now that you've been on land for so long, what do you think? Do you think we are really that kind of barbarians?"

Skadi shook her head.

"You... no, everyone, you are a group of very good people." Skadi pursed her lips: "Doctor... I understand, thank you."

"You're right. If I was really afraid of losing again, then why would I stay in Rhodes Island? From the moment I came to Rhodes Island and chose to stay, from the moment I chose to become your operator, I made my decision."

"It's just that I have never been able to let go of the past. I don't know how to face it. I am lonely and... I think loneliness is the only way."

Her eyes became firm: "I chose Rhodes Island, and Rhodes Island accepted me. Thank you, Doctor."

After saying this, Skadi seemed to have suddenly let go of the burden she had been carrying for a long time. She let out a long sigh, smiled, and said, "Doctor, healing the world... also includes the ocean, right?"

Baiyue nodded solemnly: "Of course."

"Agor and Haisi are also one of our targets."

Baiyue stood up, walked in front of Skadi, leaned over slightly, and looked at Skadi: "Skadi, remember, you are my operator."

"You are Operator Skadi of Rhodes Island. You are mine."

There seemed to be anger in Baiyou's eyes, not directed at Skadi, but at the past that Skadi had experienced.

She turned to her past where she was called a born monster and a cold-blooded outsider.

"I don't care whether you were a deep-sea hunter or an Agor in your past, or whether you were targeted by Haisi and other messy people. I only know that you are on my island and you are mine."

Baiyou stretched out his hands, and the young boy brought a sense of oppression that made Skadi involuntarily want to obey.

His hands fell on Skadi's shoulders and he whispered as if a young lion had a sense of territory for the first time, declaring his ownership of something for the first time.

"If anything tries to attack my operators, I will let them drown in their own blood, so, Skadi, there is no need to be confused."

"Our story has just begun, so be hopeful and wait."

"Everyone must have a hometown. Your hometown is Agor. I will not and cannot change this."

"But Rhode Island is your new home."

Baiyue spoke for a long time, then suddenly sneered and said self-deprecatingly: "Although there is not even a flush toilet here, I'm sorry, I have to replace all the toilets on the Rhodes Island ship with flush toilets before the Ghost Shark wakes up, otherwise she will laugh at me."

Skadi looked at him, who was only handsome for three seconds, and slowly smiled. The smile was stiff and awkward, as if smiling was a rare experience for her.

But she still tried her best to smile, and then, her pair of red eyes gradually lit up.

"Yes, Doctor, I am your operator, I am your person." She repeated what Bai You had just said, and then let out a long sigh: "This is not because I was forced to do this countless times in the past, but because of my own thoughts."

"Thank you."

Skadi suddenly stood up, bent slightly, and kissed his lips at a speed that Baiyou could not react to at all.

Baiyou was stunned.

No, Didi, wait a minute, something's wrong!

Did you get the wrong script?!

This kind of active kissing scene shouldn't be yours!!

Baiyou was flustered and at a loss as to what to do, and pushed away Skadi in front of her.

After being pushed away, Skadi looked at Baiyou in confusion and blinked.

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

Baiyue wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and said, "Skadi, who taught you to treat others like this?!"

Skadi licked her lips with some satisfaction.

"The Doctor has intimate relationships with a lot of people, doesn't he? Why can't I?"

Baiyue's eyes widened: "Who told you that?"

"Observe." Skadi stared at Baiyue: "I am good at discovering, and I have few friends on the island, only Amiya."

"After Amiya had sex with the doctor, there are many clues on her body that others cannot touch, but I can find them."
