Chapter 24 Want to Raid
Qin Huai stood at the door of Lin Jiangli's office holding the documents, his eyelids lazily raised, looking at the flashing machine not far away.
In fact, there is no loss in selling a task.
Cancelling this task would not affect his relationship with Duan Ke. He could still fulfill his responsibilities as a pet owner, kissing Duan Ke every week, living across from him, and inviting him to dinner.
But just like Ji Qing who just left, he had been with the task object for more than three months, but it only took a moment to complete the task.
What about him and Duan Ke?
What will they be like in the end?
Naturally, Qin Huai's mind revisited the explicit piece of paper. Every word on it pierced his eyes, reminding him that he was not Duan Ke's only choice.
…and his name wasn’t even on it.
That soft body, the sickly sweet kiss, and the affectionate and dependent name could be taken away at any time by someone on the list.
When Qin Huai thought of this, his solar plexus felt as if it had been pricked by a needle and his emotions became uncontrollable.
His expression remained calm, but his breathing became noticeably faster, and his gloved hands were faintly pinching his palms.
But he was rational, and another voice in his heart was coldly questioning these thoughts.
A task object.
Unrelated people.
Why did you lose control of your emotions for him?
From a soldier to an inquisitor, how many monsters had he slaughtered? What was the difference between Duan Ke and those monsters who died tragically at his hands?
Qin Huai leaned against the wall, quietly trying to convince himself. When he came to his senses, he found that he had already turned on the monitor on his wrist.
Duan Ke's location information was displayed on the screen, indicating that his little red dot was moving at a constant speed.
My heart rate is a little high and my body temperature is a little higher than usual.
…
Are you feeling unwell or nervous?
...Is there anyone else around?
Qin Huai lowered his eyes and stared at the screen without moving. His expression remained calm and composed. Suddenly, footsteps sounded nearby, breaking the silence in the office.
"Colonel Lin, I'm here... F**K!!!"
Qin Huai was interrupted. He looked up with great displeasure and met the gaze of the terrified medic in front of him.
Noticing that the soldier's gaze fell on the red dot representing Duan Ke, Qin Huai tutted his lips in extreme displeasure and raised his hand to turn off the monitor.
"Sorry, sir! I offended you!"
The medic bowed ninety degrees, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Holy shit, he's been out on a business trip these past couple of days, and I saw gossip in the group saying the Inquisitor has been acting weird lately, like he's been haunted. Turns out they weren't lying, guys!
But the Inquisitor didn't just encounter a ghost; he might have become a ghost! Why was he standing behind Colonel Lin's office door, silent and silent? The blue light from the monitor shone on the Inquisitor's face, scarier than a ghost!
The medic bent over and didn't dare to move, and glanced at Qin Huai cautiously out of the corner of his eye.
It seemed okay. The commander's attention was not on him, a nobody. He was not angry or disgusted. He was just as human as usual.
The medic finally stood up, feeling slightly relieved. He reported to the time clock and turned back to see Qin Huai turning around to leave.
"Hey... Sir, please wait a moment!"
The medic wanted to bite his tongue off after he finished speaking.
Damn professional ethics! Why bother messing with him now? Wouldn't it be better to just let him go?
The medic was sweating profusely, ready to have his license revoked by Qin Huai. But Qin Huai just turned around and looked at him without any emotion.
"What's up."
The medic came back to his senses: "Oh...oh! I wanted to ask about your injury."
Seeing that Qin Huai didn't seem to want to kill him immediately, he felt relieved. He walked closer and pointed at his waist and abdomen.
"You may not remember, but I was the one who temporarily treated the scorpion venom for you last time. You didn't go for a follow-up checkup afterwards."
"Well... although your self-healing ability is indeed very strong, this injury is quite serious. It would be better for you to take it seriously."
The medic waited anxiously for Qin Huai's answer.
Would the superiors think he was meddling too much? After all, he was just an ordinary medic and couldn't interfere in the affairs of his superiors.
But to his surprise, Qin Huai did not show any displeasure.
Instead... he raised his eyebrows in an ambiguous manner.
"It's completely healed now." Qin Huai said.
The medic looked at Qin Huai and saw him twisting his fingertips and gently cutting his lower abdomen.
...It doesn't feel like he's touching himself, but more like he's feeling someone's remaining warmth.
"Someone was very worried and has helped me get well."
Qin Huai's tone was still as flat as a human-machine, but the ending tone rose very subtly.
Qin Huai didn't pause after he finished speaking. He turned and walked away without a pause, leaving the medic petrified at the office door.
Cured? ?
It's such a big hole, how long did it take to heal?? What's the fuss??
The medic's jaw dropped to the ground as he thought carefully about whether there was any way to quickly heal humans.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt that he had touched something that he shouldn't have thought about and was quite scary. He trembled all over and left quickly as if he was avoiding a ghost.

After the little episode just now, Qin Huai felt a little better and decided to go home.
He just checked Duan Ke's location and found that he was rushing towards the rental house, so he simply decided not to stay in the office and followed him back.
This way, if that roommate or someone else takes advantage of the situation and sneaks in, he can always keep an eye on it.
Qin Huai glanced at Duan Ke's door, which was tightly shut. He hesitated for a moment, but didn't knock.
He could rationally observe that an uncontrollable emotion caused by Duan Ke was invading his body, and he needed some time to digest this emotion and regain his sanity.
Qin Huai walked into the house, stood at the entrance, and began to take off his black gloves.
At this moment, he heard a very slight noise coming from his bedroom.
It was so light that it could deceive anyone else, but not the judge.
Qin Huai lowered his eyes, not stopping to undress, and casually glanced at the bedroom. The closet door was open a tiny gap, barely enough for breathing. It was not obvious, but it was there.
There was a little guy hiding in there who thought he was hidden.
Qin Huai thought happily.
