Chapter 41 Bandaged Shura Field and Overt Schemes

As soon as Lorraine spoke, the atmosphere between the two men became tense, and they no longer resembled comrades-in-arms.

Situ Linchen snorted, completely ignoring Luo Lan, and bent down to pick up Ning Shuyin from the bed.

The movements appear forceful, but are actually deliberately gentle.

Ning Shuyin was startled by the sudden embrace and let out a soft gasp.

From the conversation just now, and her "personal experience" in the resonance chamber, she understood the sensitivity of the matter.

The thought of how readily she had agreed made Ning Shuyin's ears burn.

Seeing her unease, Situ Linchen said to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm not taking you to resonate."

The man held her and did not leave immediately.

He turned to look directly at Loran and said, "Loran, listen carefully. I, Situ Linchen, will take responsibility for her."

"The entire Alliance fleet will also be responsible for her."

Hearing this, Ning Shuyin was bewildered.

Responsible?

What is he saying?

Is this something that can be said aloud?

It's one thing for you, Situ Linchen, to be in charge, but to make the entire fleet responsible? What kind of nonsense is this?

Of course, neither of the two men present knew that the train in Ning Shuyin's mind was already speeding off in a strange direction and was about to lose control.

"etc!"

Loran spoke.

He reacted extremely quickly, flashing forward and blocking Situ Linchen with one hand.

“Her health is unstable,” Loran’s gaze lingered on Ning Shuyin. “I can’t let you take her away directly.”

Situ Linchen's face darkened: "Luo Lan, you know you can't stop me."

It was clear that his energy was about to be unleashed.

Loran ignored her and tapped on the personal terminal, calling out, "Little Loran."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white hovering robot flew over with a "whoosh".

The robot landed on Loran's shoulder, its round body and two cute red eyes blinking.

"Xiao Lan, scan Ning Shuyin's vital signs and activate automatic monitoring mode."

"Instructions received, execute immediately."

The little robot flew above Ning Shuyin, and a soft green beam of light enveloped her.

"The target heart rate is 98. Physiological fluctuations are significant. It is recommended to remain resting for 20 minutes."

Situ Linchen's patience had clearly run out.

He simply pushed Lorraine's arm away.

As soon as Ning Shuyin left the range of the green light, the robot immediately sounded an alarm.

"Warning! Warning! Target has broken out of its lying-down state!"

Seeing the little robot chasing after him, Situ Linchen impatiently reached out and shooed it away.

Seeing this, Loran's expression darkened, and she reached out to help "Little Lan".

Both of them exerted force with their hands at the same time.

"Smack!"

The little robot was knocked and spun several times in the air.

"Beep beep! Blood detected. Switching to wound dressing mode!"

It was obvious that Situ Linchen still bore traces of the battlefield.

The storage box beneath the small robot popped open, and a roll of medical nano-bandage shot out with a "whoosh".

Because of the robot's hovering trajectory, it was thrown off balance by the two men, and the tape failed to hit Situ Linchen.

Instead—

It stuck to Ning Shuyin's forehead.

Ning Shuyin: "?"

Situ Linchen: "..."

Loran: "..."

"What the hell! Take your electronic pet away." Situ Linchen waved his hand and pushed the robot away.

"Bang!"

The robot was about to crash into Loran.

"You!" Loran's face showed anger.

He blocked it with his arm, and the force of the impact caused the robot to bounce back towards Situ Linchen.

The little robot in the air was being slapped and pushed around by two men, resulting in a crying emoji (T_T).

"Shuashuashua——"

What's most frustrating is that it keeps spitting out bandages.

A bizarre scene unfolded in the cramped cubicle.

The two top-tier SSS-level experts were playing a game of floating ping-pong.

The most tragic figure was Ning Shuyin, who was at the center of the battlefield.

White bandages weaved through the air, binding her tighter and tighter.

The shoulders were wrapped around twice, the arms around twice, and the calves around once.

If this continues, she'll turn into a mummy.

Even the system couldn't stand it anymore.

[Host, your current situation is... hahaha, it's hilarious!]

"stop!"

Ning Shuyin finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted with all her might.

"Snap!"

The little robot's bandages ran out at the same time, and it fell straight to the ground under the strain.

Ning Shuyin was about to say something.

"Knock knock".

There was a knock on the cubicle door.

After two polite knocks, the door was pushed open without waiting for a response from the person inside.

The newcomer had his signature long blue hair, which was somewhat disheveled...

Ning Shuyin's heart skipped a beat when she saw that face.

Gu Lei!

His two greatest enemies were in the room, and he just showed up like that?

Gure was clearly surprised by the sight before him.

His pink eyes were filled with... barely suppressed laughter.

"Miss, are you alright, cough cough?" Gu Lei was clearly suppressing a laugh, while pretending not to know her.

Situ Linchen's face darkened immediately upon seeing who it was.

Loran's gaze was like a knife, wishing she could stab him a few times on the spot.

"Who allowed you to come in?" Situ Linchen said sternly.

Gu Lei seemed oblivious to the murderous intent in their eyes.

He approached Ning Shuyin and helped tear off the ridiculous bandage that was the "culprit" from her forehead.

"It seems that the two have had an academic disagreement on the topic of caring for patients."

This statement is incredibly sarcastic.

Gu Lei ignored the two angry stares and sat down on a chair a few meters away from them.

"Gentlemen, why don't we put her down for now? I'll offer a medical plan suitable for the Marshal."

"How did you know?" Situ Linchen's voice was icy.

The details of the injury are top secret, and Gure himself is also a threat.

Loran sneered, "A medical solution? Professor Gure, I remember your specialty is creating trouble. What academic norms or social theories are you going to use to oppose us today?"

With a single sentence, Loran ruthlessly reopened the old wounds of hatred between the three.

Situ Linchen's defeat in the council and the failure of Loran's important experiment are both inextricably linked to Gu Lei's "open conspiracy".

They are mortal enemies in terms of their stance.

Guree paid no attention to Loran's taunts.

"The choice is yours; you can only listen to one of the plans or the intelligence sources."

"Speak," Situ Linchen said succinctly.

Gure smiled gently: "Before I speak, I need a promise from both of you."

"What promise?"

“When I leave here, I need a safe passage,” Gu Lei said casually.

Situ and Loran exchanged a glance.

“Okay.” Situ Linchen nodded.

After receiving the promise, Gu Lei spoke.

"The Marshal's damage to his consciousness stems from being contaminated by 'plague energy.' Dr. Loran's stabilizer is indeed effective, but long-term use will dull your perception of energy, eventually leading to an incurable condition."

"Disaster and Epidemic Module" - Situ Linchen only obtained one sample in today's battle.

Gu Lei has been able to describe it so precisely.

This only proves that this scholar's understanding of this matter far surpasses theirs.

Gu Lei then looked at Ning Shuyin: "Even the most top-tier healing ability users, if they force resonance without understanding the nature of pollution, will only result in both of them being polluted."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

"To eradicate the pollution of the sea of ​​consciousness, as far as I know, there is something that is very effective, and that is the Purification Crystal."

“Purification Crystal?” Loran frowned. He had heard of this thing before. “As far as I know, this thing hasn’t appeared at the Alliance auction for over a hundred years.”

Gu Lei shook his finger: "No need to wait for the auction, I know of one that's already there."

Situ Linchen's dark eyes looked at him.

Gu Lei didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"It's in Zhou Zhiheng's private levitation museum. It's one of his many collections."

The moment that name was uttered, the atmosphere in the room became even more eerie than before.

Ning Shuyin listened quietly, her doubts growing heavier.

Gu Lei... this person is too strange.

He seems to know everything.

I know about Situ's injury, I know about Lorraine's medicine, and I know about the solution.

He "coincidentally" appeared at the Alice Space Station, and now he "coincidentally" appears here again.

What role is this person playing? Could it be...?

Just as Ning Shuyin was lost in thought, Gu Lei took in the reactions of the two men.

He shrugged and said in a helpless tone, "I know you all hate that tycoon. Unfortunately, I'm also at odds with him and can't stand up for you."

Looking at the three men with complex expressions, Ning Shuyin suddenly spoke:

"Marshal, I would like to speak with you privately."
