In Zhou Jinru's opinion, Kelsey's invitation was very nice even for the physical examination.
He simply wanted to have a good relationship with the number two man in Rhode Island and had absolutely no other ideas.
Therefore, on the way there, not only did I walk briskly, I also smiled, as if the negative impact I had when I just absorbed the Origin Stone didn't exist at all.
But just as he was passing by the corridor of the staff dormitory, an arrow pierced his ear. Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out from the corner and saw the doctor who was stunned in place.
"Doctor, help!"
Li, who fled in a hurry, hugged him and hid behind him.
At this time, Bai Jin, who was holding a long bow, appeared in front of the two of them with an indifferent expression. In front of the doctor, she had to restrain herself no matter how much resentment she had.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Miss Li would like to have a friendly exchange with me."
Platinum said in a deep voice.
There was a hint of murderous intent in her plain tone.
Zhou Jinru moved his steps, stood in front of Li, and asked again: "What's going on between you and Bai Jin?"
Li said aggrievedly: "She said that the upstart knights in Casimir are all clowns with oil paint on their faces."
Casimir's knights are indeed very different from the past, but there is also a problem with the way Bai Jin talks. According to her, sooner or later even Lin Guang will pick up his warhammer and rush over, although Lin Guang has not returned yet.
"Okay, we are all our own people. There is no need to say these words in the future. Whether they are the new knights or the old knights, they are all products of the times. There is no need to distinguish them so clearly."
Zhou Jinru stared into Bai Jin's eyes: "Bai Jin, come to my room later. I have something to ask you."
Li Li's eyes widened immediately. Bai Jin had only been back for a few days, so why did he cut off his beard from their hands?
Having said this, Bai Jin reached out to fiddle with his hair and whispered: "Miss Li, I apologize to you for my behavior just now."
The look in her eyes when she left was as if she was thinking of Miss Woodchuck declaring victory.
"Doctor, do you really want to be alone with her?"
Li grabbed Zhou Jinru's hand tightly.
"It's okay, don't look at Bai Jin like this. She is a very serious person. It is really appropriate for me to ask her some questions, and she will not do anything outrageous."
Since Zhou Jinru had to rush to Kelsey's personal clinic, after settling the sudden dispute, he left in a hurry, leaving Li alone in a daze.
The arrow that Bai Jin shot penetrated deeply into the wall of the corridor inside Rhodes Island. As a result, it broke the lines buried in the wall, causing the power supply in the area to drop. Liu De, who was originally huddled in the dormitory playing video games, Mira was having fun when the power suddenly went off.
Fa, what happened? !
A girl with ocher hair appeared on the dark electronic screen, and then she let out a shrill scream. The hidden line she finally typed was lost before she could save it. I don’t know if this power outage had any impact on others. Archives are affected.
"I went to class every day, endured the whipping of that instructor Pello, and the training that was always deliberately targeted at me, in exchange for the game CDs, and the hard-earned saves~"
The almost substantial resentment floated out from the top of Lyudmila's head. She lowered her arms, stood up unsteadily, and opened the door of the dormitory. A crimson figure and a pair of cold eyes appeared in front of her eyes.
After checking her eyes, he was someone she couldn't afford to offend.
The blackened Lyudmila immediately returned to normal and closed the dormitory door faster.
Just stay still, the outside world is too dangerous.
Isn't it just a power outage? There are various e-books in her personal terminal, so she can read them while lying on the bed.
Um?
Did she forget something?
Forget it, don't think about it, reading is more important, the plot that was disconnected last time is still very attractive to her.
Outside the door of the dormitory, two figures, one tall and one short, hurried over. The former was Gray, an electrical engineer from Rhode Island, who was responsible for maintaining the lines. The latter was Huang, who had just returned to normal mobility. Her role was to help Gray when Gray couldn't. When dealing with the situation, use strong force to break it up.
"This arrow seems to belong to Miss Platinum?"
Huang stared at the long arrow that was deeply embedded in the wall. She remembered that Platinum's Origin Stone skill had a good bonus on shooting distance and power, and could shoot through thick steel plates from a very long distance.
It's not a secret that Bai Jin is back, but why is she taking action here?
"Can you adjust the surveillance?"
"Yes, but the surveillance data is all in Miss Coluciel's place."
Huang hesitated for two seconds, but still gave up her plan to go to Keluciel. She didn't want to deal with the oil-drinking blood demon alone and suffer losses every time.
"Miss Huang, please pull it out first. I want to check the breakage of the circuit in the wall panel."
Huang responded, reaching out to grab the exposed half of the arrow, holding his breath and concentrating. With a crash, the arrow and the large metal wall panel were pulled out, and sparks flew from the broken wires inside.
Huang's face didn't look good, because the situation inside was not that serious originally, but after she forcefully demolished it, it became worse.
"Oops, now the little rabbit has to complain about the increase in maintenance expenses."
Gray behind him said nervously: "Miss Huang, you seem to be bleeding."
It was bleeding, which was normal. The wound on her back had not healed for long, and now it was torn due to excessive force.
"Who is on duty in the infirmary today?"
Dr. Gavel has not fully recovered yet, so the person on duty is definitely not her, so Huang is a little relieved.
"It seems to be Doctor Susuluo."
"Okay, I'll go to the infirmary. Gray, can you solve this?"
Gray nodded: "Don't worry, I will contact the engineering department."
Huang smiled at the dark place and left in a hurry, because there was a red wolf hidden there, and she must have been attracted by the fight in the corridor.
…
…
Zhou Jinru came to Kelsi's personal clinic and sat in a chair in the waiting area, waiting for the hostess to return. For some reason, he fell asleep leaning on the back of the chair.
Shaking, slight shaking, there was a sound coming from far and near, penetrating his eardrums and getting into his head. Zhou Jinru suddenly woke up, and an ugly monster appeared in front of him. The black body was three or four meters high, and it was ferocious. The skull was almost pressed against his face.
"Hey, what is this?!"
He broke into a cold sweat.
The monster gradually disappeared in front of him and disappeared.
"You finally woke up?"
Kelsey was wearing a white coat and stood in front of him, with a gap of two meters between them, which was exactly the width of the monster.
"What did I just see?"
"A child who hasn't grown up yet, come in with me now that you're awake. Although it's not my place to speak, I still need to remind you a few words."
Zhou Jinru stood up, stretched his aching muscles, and asked casually: "What do you want to say to me? Are you agreeing to my request to go to Xinxi Tower for vacation together?"
Kelsey, who was walking in front, didn't answer, but clicked the switch, and the soft light filled the gloomy personal consultation room.
"Lie down."
Kelsey pointed to a new type of equipment with its own cabin. At least Zhou Jinru had never seen it before.
He pointed to his body: "Should I take off my clothes?"
"No, lie down."
Kelsey shook her head, her eyes seeming to say there is nothing about you that I haven't seen before.
Zhou Jinru hesitated again and again, because the medical equipment Kelsey was referring to looked like a coffin from the outside...
"You're scared?"
Zhou Jinru looked at Kelxi: "If it was you who said it, I wouldn't be afraid."
He took off his shoes, stepped into the cabin, and lay down inside, his hands naturally folded in front of him, his eyes closed, and his expression was solemn.
Kelsey: "...an in-depth examination, you don't need to be nervous."
"No, I have never died before and I want to experience what it feels like to lie in a coffin."
Clenching his fists and twitching slightly at the corners of his eyes, the big lynx suppressed his anger: "It seems that you have forgotten all about lying in Chernobog for several years."
"do not remember."
Zhou Jinru had no impression at all.
But at this moment, Kelsey's voice seemed to have a kind of magic, mixed with emotional fluctuations, and she said: "Want to experience it once?"
"What?"
Zhou Jinru only had time to say the first word, and the closed cabin blocked the second word in his mouth.
There was silence in his ears, and Zhou Jinru felt sleepy. He had obviously just slept, but now he was feeling tired again.
When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in a closed building. The decoration of the room was plain, even a little crude, and the space was extremely narrow.
"Ivan Nikolayevich, male, 41 years old, intermediate technician."
Zhou Jinru searched all over his body and only found an old wallet. In addition to a few crumpled banknotes, he also found what seemed to be an ID card.
He rubbed his face vigorously. The facial skin was rough, the muscles were stiff, the cheekbones were high, and the cheeks were thin. He guessed that his complexion must be sallow now.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jinru began to use conventional means to imply that he was in a dream. He immediately noticed a familiar sense of immersion, as if he was sinking in deep water. In other words, he was in a dream? !
As long as you want to escape, you can immediately float up and leave the dream.
He was stunned. Was this dream created by Kelsey?
At this moment, there were rhythmic knocks on the wooden door on the other side of the room, three long and two short, urgent and then slow.
This is the commonly used docking code for Rhode Island operators.
Zhou Jinru did not knock on the door immediately. Instead, he grabbed the wine bottle lying beside the chair with his left hand. He took out a revolver from his arms with his right hand, carefully moved to the door, and said quickly: "Three Illusion Gods!"
The person on the other side was silent, and after a few seconds he answered: "Serea."
He opened the door suddenly, and standing in front of the door was an older, middle-aged woman with a thick and long ponytail, crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and a coarse cloth dress.
do not know.
The other party seemed to see what he was thinking, and said coldly: "You are the one who wants to know what happened to Chernobog, and you are the one who is doubting everything now. There is no trust between us."
Now we know each other.
Who is this tone if it's not Kelsey? But why did she become like this?
The middle-aged woman took out a small mirror from her apron pocket. Zhou Jinru immediately saw himself in the mirror, with sunken eye sockets, pale skin, a messy beard at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of round bear ears standing on top of his head.
He remembered the name of this body, Ivan.
There are many Ivans in Ursus, not hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of thousands, like Jack from Colombia, John from Victoria, Hans from Letania, and Xiao Ming from Yan Kingdom. They are really ordinary to the extreme.
"Okay, now that I believe it, what are our identities now?"
Zhou Jinru rubbed his bear ears. It was really new and it was his first time to experience it.
Kelsey turned around, put her hands into the pockets inside her apron, and said calmly: "The name of my body is Caitlin, and I am a laundryman in the house of a noble councilor in this city. You, you are a Unemployed workers, this is nothing new.”
Zhou Jinru listened to Kelsey's description. The two of them walked through the deep and narrow corridor one after another. Standing at the top of the stairs, he sighed: "When the capital of the new era enters Casimir, who is still immersed in the glory of the old aristocracy, , Even facing the giant wheel of the times, the old knights will raise their lances and charge bravely."
"There are too many people who have been shattered to pieces, and not everyone is willing to resist to the end. There are always some who choose to compromise and then join the torrent of the times."
Kelsi's words fell in Zhou Jinru's ears, only to elicit a helpless smile from him: "You are right, there will be stubborn people if there are smart people. This is the case with Casimir, the same is true with Columbia, and the same is true with Ursus. .”
They walked out of the corridor, the light hit their faces, and the noise in the street replaced the silence in their ears.
The chef in the bakery is placing the soft baked ribs on the open counter. Citizens who come to buy food line up in a long line. From time to time, students with friends pass by. During the conversation and laughter, they turn their attention to the newsstand to play to the citizens. On the display screen of the Daily News TV, a half-bald middle-aged man was giving a speech. Unfortunately, no matter how exciting the content was, it could not attract the sleepy eyes of the newsstand owner.
A gust of wind blew, and an unpressed newspaper flew up. In mid-air, he caught it with one hand and threw a hard cover on the display rack with various magazines.
With a click, the coin fell steadily, waking up the newsstand owner whose eyelids were twitching. He turned around and screamed: "Ah, old Ivan, how long have you been kneeling on the washboard? Your wife is finally willing." Forgive you?!”
Wife?
Is there such a thing?
Zhou Jinru's eyes changed slightly, he looked at Kelsey next to him, who was Caitlin in other people's eyes, and responded accordingly: "My legs are still trembling!"
The two left in a hurry and merged into the crowd of people coming and going.
Zhou Jinru had a lot of questions. He tried to sort out his thoughts: "You and I are actually a couple?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kelsey's eyes suddenly became sharp and she said coldly: "To be precise, I am your ex-wife now. Ivan and Caitlin have just gone through the divorce procedures, which has not been made public yet."
Before Zhou Jinru could react, she added: "Because we have a daughter who is still in middle school, at Jotunheim Middle School."
