Muppet, an operator of the Rhode Island Medical Department, first met Valentine during a psychological test.
There was no sun that day, and there were continuous clouds in the sky, just like the grassland, which was also a true portrayal of Valentine's heart.
Major depressive disorder.
The five words printed on the form were black, just like everything in front of him.
The world outlined by charcoal is full of twisted and complicated lines, constantly squirming.
Depressing, dark, gloomy.
Although it was far from desperate, Valentine still felt a piece of flesh trembling in his heart.
It doesn't hurt, just dull and a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps Jiao Zhengyu saw that he was too depressed, so he arranged this meeting specially.
A big white-haired cat full of vitality and vitality noticed the gray-white dragon man and stepped forward to say hello to him, which caused a minor misunderstanding.
For Valentine, it was not the first time he had been identified as a girl.
But standing in front of him was such a cute girl, whose big eyes seemed to hide a clear spring. He didn't want to get angry, so he just made a joke and passed away.
The presence of beauty always makes people feel happy.
After that, Valentine had a friend named "Puppet", but he never met again.
He didn't take it to heart either.
until today.
"...The blood pressure is normal, the heart rate is normal, and the mind is normal."
The puppet checked a few ticks on the form, stretched out his index and middle fingers to make a 'V' in front of Valentine.
"How much is this?"
…
Valentine blinked, looked at the 'V', and then looked up at the cute cat in front of him.
Muppets: ヽ(｡◕‿◕｡)V
He took off the little fox lying on his head and wiped his face, but the scene in front of him remained unchanged.
"Ouch."
Xiao Le was a little confused, shouted at Valentine, and jumped back on top of his head.
...No, sister, do you think I am blind?
If I were really blind, would I see you?
"two."
Although there was a lot of confusion in his heart, the doctor's question had to be answered, and Valentine still answered the question obediently.
If it was Raphael who was accompanying him at this moment, he would probably have laughed out loud by now.
But Razer and Cerea, both serious Vaifan women, had no reaction to the scene.
The quiet atmosphere in the room made Valentine suddenly feel like he was really sick.
"Are there any ghosting, blurring, or seeing other things?"
The puppet tilted its head and retracted its fingers.
have.
I saw my past self standing at the door, waving at me and walking further and further away.
Valentin complained silently in his mind and shook his head slowly.
"everything is normal."
After the inspection, the puppet wrote the conclusion on the form and put the pen away.
"You can be discharged from the hospital."
She smiled broadly, as if she was genuinely happy for Valentine's safety.
"I think I can stay one more night and observe."
But Valentine didn't want to get out so quickly.
One more day off is just one more day, who wants to go back to work as soon as possible?
There is only the king of involution.
That's not an excellent employee, call him a scab.
"sure."
Ceria nodded slightly, and then said to the puppet: "You go back first, I have something to tell the patient."
These words made Valentine's ears twitch.
He understood what the purpose of Seria's trip was, and it was probably to explain the reason for the appearance of these animals.
"OK."
The puppet has always been very well-behaved and never said anything to the orders of his seniors.
She waved to the three people in the ward and turned to leave.
The click of heels against the tiles came from the corridor, but it soon died down.
The cute big cat disappeared, and the ward fell into eerie silence.
Razer glanced at his phone, stood up and straightened his messy forehead.
"The takeaway has arrived, I'll go get it."
She nodded slightly to Ceria and walked out of the ward.
For an instant, the eyes of all creatures were focused on Ceria, except for the little fox lying on top of Valentine.
"Tell me about your background."
Ceria found a chair and sat beside the bed.
"I'm sorry I couldn't tell your sister about this."
She lowered her head slightly.
"But you don't want her to worry either, right?"
"Yes."
Valentine's voice was cold.
He didn't tell Razer at all about the suffering he suffered at the Rhine Life Laboratory, not even the matter of amnesia, just to reassure her.
Otherwise, how uncomfortable this good sister would be.
She felt bad and so did Valentine.
No need.
"This phenomenon of yours actually happened in Rhine Life, and it caused a big accident, and the protagonist was Ifrit."
These words instantly reminded Valentin of the 'Fire Demon Incident'.
What Seria said next also confirmed his thoughts.
"She was injected with the 'key' just like you, and the spirit behind her also gained consciousness."
The memory was extremely sad for everyone involved. Ceria lowered her voice and tried to control her emotions.
"After a certain stress test, her mind went out of control, causing a lot of damage to Rhine's life."
"Although she was quickly subdued, Ifrit was still unable to control the spirit behind her a few days after the accident and had to be locked in a safe house."
"oh."
Valentine sneered.
The roar of a beast echoed in the room.
"That sounds really bad."
He was not in the mood to comment on the matter, nor did he want to say anything more.
"Later, Ifrit left Rhine Life and followed Dr. Helmer to Rhode Island."
Ceria completely ignored the roar of the beast behind her and continued her story.
"Accidents of that level never happen again."
"In addition to changes in the environment, the method you mentioned is also very effective."
Valentin was stunned by these words.
What did I say?
When did this happen?
"Not long after you arrived in Rhode Island, you met Ifrit in the medical department and was accidentally burned by her."
Seria's words stirred up his memories, and another clear fragment appeared among the countless long-lasting haziness.
Valentine remembered.
He did not meet the puppets only once, but later they met again because of the observer bracelet.
The reason was that he couldn't use the Origin Stone skills while wearing the bracelet, so he had to find a doctor to treat his burns.
As a result, the ragdoll cat tied a bow directly on his face with a bandage...
It was said to be for aesthetic reasons, but Valentine felt stupid no matter how he looked at it.
In the end, he asked Kelsey to get the bracelet and use the Origin Stone technique to heal the wound.
He was also laughed at by Warfarin and Gavel because of the bow...
Now that I think about it, I still can’t get angry.
Who makes the puppet a cute and kind-hearted cat?
"You mean talking to the spirit behind you?"
Valentine frowned and said.
When Hemer was being tortured by the puppet's bow, Hemer was preaching to Ifrit, and he also listened to a few words.
Later, I felt that this little girl was miserable, so I casually mentioned the incident and forgot about it the next day.
I didn't expect it to be really useful.
"Yes."
Ceria nodded.
"In the past, Ifrit and the spirit behind were incompatible."
"Although the relationship is still not good after several conversations, at least there is no danger of losing control."
"I came today just to thank you."
The once majestic director of the Department of Defense lowered her head at this moment and bowed to the original experimental subject of Rhine Life to express her gratitude.
The words are also extremely sincere.
"nothing."
Valentine felt nothing.
"I just don't want to see her suffer anymore."
"After all, I understand how painful it is."
Valentine himself is fine, but the spirit behind him can only heal. What damage can be caused if he loses control?
The group of animals surrounding him looked scary right now, so what if they were bitten?
It only hurts a bit, not even a wound.
Even the hidden diseases in the body were cured by this mouthful.
But Ifrit's Origin Stone skills are flames, explosions and destruction. Losing control will not only cause huge financial losses, but also cause a huge psychological burden on her, which is too heavy for a child.
Even more difficult to accept than the pain of the 'key'.
"It's a pity that I still can't contact Ifrit and can't bring her to thank you.",
Ceria straightened her back and lowered her eyebrows.
"never mind."
Valentine shrugged.
He was more concerned about the food being delivered than this.
Razer was back, carrying two steaming bags. Ceria ended the topic about the spirit behind him and informed Valentin of Rhode Island’s arrangements for him.
Because the Origin Stone skill was out of control, he no longer needed to wear the observer bracelet for a period of time until he returned to normal.
And that's exactly what Valentine wanted.
In addition to this incident, there is also a holiday notice.
The operators who participated in the Battle of Qicheng all got a lot of vacation. The three Valentines also worked later because they returned to the team late, so the number of vacation days remained unchanged.
He can freely run around the Rhode Island base wearing a twig coat and carrying a little fox, and he can go to work early if he wants.
Valentin just smiled at this.
Of course he won't go to work early.
He had a lot to do and meet a lot of people during this vacation.
Pave the way for a certain node in the future.
The prophecy is gradually coming true, but the protagonist among them...
Will he still be that person?
