"how are things?"
"..."
"I read your treatment report. It says that your infection level has been controlled, but you are mentally unstable."
"..."
"Want to eat an orange?"
Throwing the peel into the trash can, Noah broke off two orange segments and handed them to the girl in front of him.
But the ghost shark ignored it and continued to stare at the scenery outside the window, as if time had stopped on her body.
Noah just shrugged.
She doesn't expect a mentally ill person to respond to her normally.
Putting the orange into his mouth, Noah frowned after just one bite, his facial features twisted into twists.
Even if it was just a replay of the scene, Shadow could guess how sour the orange was through the changes in her expression and the subsequent swear words.
Um……
It seems that she bought this orange herself as a gift to visit the patient.
The following content is much duller, basically Noah talking to himself.
In the small ward, the white-haired nun sat beside the bed, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, her body trembling slightly and her eyes dull.
The girl in a trench coat was sitting on the other side of the bed, performing a one-man show. Apart from her voice, the only sound in the room was the beeping sound of medical equipment.
The atmosphere was too weird and meaningless. Even time is speeding up quietly, trying to escape the depression in this house as soon as possible.
"No useful information at all."
This image will not reappear a second time, because Shadow knows that no matter how many times it is repeated, she will not be able to find useful information.
It was just a visit, nothing special.
But combined with how excited the ghost shark was when she saw Noah and her incomprehensible words...
At most, Shadow could only get a guess that [Noah communicated with the existence in the ghost shark's mind using a method that others could not understand].
Encrypted calls that cannot be decrypted.
There is no surveillance video of these two people together later.
Noah was in the medical department today because of Kelsey's arrangement to prevent her from being in danger.
Not long after the Integration Movement successfully evacuated with Tallulah, Noah picked up his phone and sent Valentin a 'come find me' message.
The ghost shark also walked out of the ward at this time and stood at the end of the corridor, waiting.
It was as if it had been agreed before.
"You said that Noah remembered the name 'Precious' under the core city?"
Shadow suddenly remembered something.
"She should have regained some memories by then."
Kelsey directly stated what she had in mind.
"So, why not find a way to solve it once and for all?"
Shadow knocked on his head and sighed softly.
"Now that she has run away...how many times has this happened? It will be difficult to catch her again."
"The sarcophagus probably doesn't want to do that anymore."
"What's the use of regretting when things are already like this?"
Kelsey is quite open-minded.
She always acted like there was nothing about Tyra that would make her nervous.
"And that guy Valentine."
Shadow felt a headache when he thought of those clear and stupid eyes.
"He showed signs of abnormality early on."
"The communication equipment from another world, the two Carters monsters who appeared in the core city, the Origin Stone technology that can summon the forest out of thin air, the inexplicable attention paid to him by Noah and the Ghost Shark..."
"There is also one point that has been ignored from beginning to end, and it is also the point that should be the most strange."
Shadow gritted his teeth.
"How could a saint from Lateran fall in love with a foreigner?"
"So, you have already thought of the answer, but you just don't want to admit it."
Kelsey poured herself another cup of coffee.
This thing is addictive if you drink too much.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
In response to Shadow's fierce reaction, Kelsey just glanced at her.
"Don't forget how the first Raphael died."
With one word, the shadow fell into silence. After a long time, she finally said:
"So, Valentine is the same kind as the Doctor. But his memory is lost even more completely, and he almost completely thinks of himself as a Terran."
"He thinks that he is so powerful because of his natural talent, and he doesn't even have any hidden thoughts..."
"Maybe he acted like this on purpose so that we could see."
Shadow started pulling at his hair again.
"Damn it, why doesn't Rhode Island have an operator who can control the subconscious?"
"That way we can know what he's thinking!"
"you are too tired."
Seeing her look like this, Kelsey shook her head, stood up, poured a cup of hot cocoa and placed it in front of Shadow.
"Don't worry about Noah and Valentine. Just do your essential work from now on."
"But……"
Shadow was about to refute when he was interrupted by Kelsey:
"My intuition tells me that letting nature take its course is the best way to achieve a perfect ending, without having to interfere too much with the direction of events."
"Do you still remember what I told you that day about the future?"
"The dazzling light fills the entire field of vision, but the soul blending of death and life can still be clearly perceived..."
"I want to kill that kid again."
Shadow gets angry when he thinks about this.
Will our cute little rabbit be fucked by this scumbag in the future?
Unforgivable!
"Why do you have to think that? There's more than one way to 'blend'."
Kelsey felt that there was nothing wrong with her statement, but the color of her thoughts was Shadow's own problem.
"...Do you want to transplant 'life' into Amiya?"
Just like when she was allowed to master 'death'?
Shadow didn't say the second half of the sentence.
She knew very well that Kelsey could give up everything, even the entire Rhode Island, but would not give up Amiya.
Because Amiya is the only one who can master 'death'.
Most importantly, she's really just a Terran, unlike Valentin and Noah.
Kelsey didn't say anything about Shadow's question.
"Go back. Remember to go to the Operations Department for a meeting tonight."
"Block the news now, don't let Amiya know that Noah has left."
"……good."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow disappeared, as if it had evaporated.
Kelsey no longer thought about how to deal with the escape of Noah and the ghost shark, and returned her attention to the documents.
As she just said, letting nature take its course is the best solution.
Ability cannot deceive others, because you cannot deceive yourself.
And the facts are just as Kelsey thought. After intense discussions, Rhode Island senior officials and more than a dozen senior operators came to the conclusion that Noah should go to Agor, and several teams need to be formed to take her there. "Rescued" back.
Amiya wanted to go, but was persuaded by Kelsey because the Rhode Island headquarters couldn't do it without her.
Among the many application reports, the names of Valentin and Raphael stood out, so they were naturally selected.
Kelsey even opened a back door for Valentine and added Xing Yihuang into the team.
In this way, the three Valentin family followed Skadi to form the "Whale" team and headed south to Iberia.
