Chapter 268: The Immortal Witch Good Men Don’t Keep Mistresses
Unlike the insensitive passers-by, the smell of blood wafting from Gin immediately caught Lin Xi's attention.
She was stunned for a moment, swallowing the greeting she had prepared: "I've only been away for a few days, and you've messed yourself up like this?"
Gin turned his head away from her.
"Come here." Lin Xi waved.
Then the young man came over.
The young killer hadn't completely lost his youthfulness. He walked over with his lips tightly pursed. Under his coat, his black clothes were stained dark by blood.
"Why are you back?"
His silver hair was also covered with dust, but still as soft as silk.
The green eyes stared at Lin Xi like a wolf, and the smell of blood mixed with gunpowder rushed towards Lin Xi.
In the nearby building, the commotion seemed to have reached its peak. Lin Xi heard the sound of an explosion. She presumably thought that the blast was the man's handiwork, a vengeance for the wounds he had sustained. If she hadn't appeared, Gin would have been driving away when the explosion occurred.
The building was collapsing. The hot wind from the explosion made Gin's long hair flutter. He reached out impatiently and put on his hat.
"You need a partner." Lin Xi answered irrelevantly. "They don't need to be very smart, but they must be loyal."
The lone killer remained silent about her words.
"Let's drive." Lin Xi made way, "Go to your safe house."
She sat in the back seat.
Gin was silent for a moment, then he sat in the driver's seat as she said and started the car.
Soon, the car arrived at the bottom of an ordinary apartment building.
This safe house is not a stand-alone apartment, but is hidden in a house at the end of a floor in a residential building, hidden away in the city.
The people living here are a mixed bunch, but the Porsche parked in the yard downstairs is still the most conspicuous.
Lin Xi stopped talking and wanted to talk, but stopped talking.
Anyway, for a killer, your style of operation is a bit too conspicuous...
But then she thought, the world of science has its own ways. The silver-haired killer's striking hair and height, which was a dimensionality reduction blow to the Japanese, didn't attract any further attention. Hadn't Toru Amuro, with his mixed-race appearance, also successfully gone undercover?
So just be conspicuous, you won’t get caught anyway.
After figuring it out, she took out the medical supplies, without any sense of being a guest, and sat directly on the sofa in the living room, waving at Gin.
"Take off your clothes."
Gin looked at Lin Xi seriously for a while.
The girl sat calmly on the sofa, looking at him with clear eyes.
...He shouldn't have expected anything. He's never had any sense for that sort of thing.
He took off his heavy coat, which fell on the sofa, and the gun inside made a dull sound.
Lin Xi estimated that the clothes weighed more than ten kilograms.
Although Gin seems to be very carefree, he is actually carrying a heavy burden every day.
She wore a slim black thin coat underneath.
At this moment, the clothing was soaked and stuck to the skin, outlining the shape of the muscles and wounds.
Lin Xi admired it for a while and squinted his eyes.
That's not right. Did this guy do anaerobic exercise behind her back?
The chest muscles are bigger than before.
It looks... quite nice to touch.
After a while, she found that Gin did not take the next step, so she asked in confusion: "Keep taking off your clothes, why don't you take them off?"
"Aren't you quite fascinated by it? I'll let you watch it for a while longer." Gin said coldly.
"Then you have to take it off first." Lin Xi said confidently, "A good man doesn't keep a mistress, you know?"
Gin: “…”
He was speechless.
He stared at Lin Xi, grabbed the edge of his clothes with both hands, took off the wet clothes, revealing his strong upper body.
The muscles are well-defined but not overly exaggerated, and are very full, attracting people's attention.
The color of the blood actually makes the whiteness of the skin more obvious.
He moved closer and trapped Lin Xi on the sofa before she could react.
The action, which seemed to be intended to facilitate bandaging the wound on his waist and abdomen, was quite aggressive, and the eyes staring straight at him made the atmosphere tense and... weird.
Lin Xi's obsession with looks makes it impossible for her to remain indifferent to the handsome men she sees.
Under Gin's gaze, her eyes widened for a moment, but she quickly retracted her rude gaze, picked up the clean towel in her hand and wiped the blood off his body.
The blood was quickly wiped away.
The wound on Gin's body was not serious, it just looked a little scary.
She couldn't help but pinch his injured waist.
The young man groaned unexpectedly.
"You're relying on your strong self-healing ability to let yourself get hurt like this?" Lin Xi sneered, "Won't you be the one who's hurt when the pain comes?"
"...The idiot who was supposed to pick me up was exposed. I had no choice but to act early."
"Don't tell me you don't have another option."
Honey colored eyes and light brown hair.
When these colors appeared, the strong sense of vacuum around Gin disappeared.
The pain started to become unhelpful.
Gin turned his eyes away: "I just don't want to waste time."
"Okay, sit down."
Lin Xi asked him to sit on the sofa, and she stood up to disinfect him, apply medicine, and finally made a simple bandage with gauze.
"OK." She straightened up. "We're done. It should be healed in a day or two. Don't shower for the next two days."
"Really? No wonder Rum asked me to come find you. I didn't bring you out of the lab to use you as a consumable."
"You haven't answered me yet." The young man was still sitting on the sofa, staring at Lin Xi.
"What?"
"Why are you back again?"
Didn’t you say it would take a long time?
"Uh... I'm back anyway. But I can't stay long, I'll be leaving soon." Lin Xi said, "You should be careful too. I don't want to see you injured every time I come back."
The young man was silent for a while, and didn't say whether it was good or bad.
"Lin Xi."
"Um?"
"How many times have you seen me?"
This question was beyond Lin Xi's expectations.
"Your hair has grown longer." Without waiting for a response, the young man stood up from the sofa. "When you left, it was just behind your shoulders. In just a few days, it's already grown to your waist."
He grabbed the dazed Lin Xi's wrist.
"When you saw me just now, you glanced to the upper left. What were you recalling? Also, you kept subconsciously looking above my head. Do you think I should be taller than I am now?"
"When I was applying the medicine... who did you see through me?"
My personality has changed too. I'm more lively now, and I can't take my eyes off beautiful things.
Although Gin doesn't think that being beautiful is useful, his body should be considered one of the "beautiful things" that Lin Xi would consider.
He stood in front of her with his upper body naked, and she only took two glances at him.
That wasn't shyness, Gin could tell.
She was just troubled by something. Something was bothering her constantly, so she couldn't stop being distracted from everything she was doing.
Is there anything that someone like her who can transcend time cannot solve?
Even... my future self can't help her solve it?
He hid his annoyance in his restrained actions, not wanting her to notice it at all.
"How many times have you seen me?" he repeated.
Lin Xi opened his mouth.
Well, the people she organized were sharp.
I immediately noticed her hair, which was too long, and her clothes, which were probably out of date.
Her hair was of course much longer than when she left. To Gin, she had only been away for a week, but in reality, she had already spent three months in the main timeline.
Plus her hair grows fast...
She said helplessly: "How can I remember this clearly?"
"However, I've seen you many times, but you're still the freshest at this moment, Xiaoqin."
"When he grows up a little, he will be sour-faced and will not have the time to ask me so many questions."
She now discovered that as long as the characters in the plot themselves discovered something wrong with her and made corresponding guesses, she would not be banned from speaking the relevant words again.
Gin lowered his eyes.
So, as expected, even after I grew up, I was unable to help her solve her problems.
...It's really useless.
"How long can you stay here this time?"
Lin Xi glanced at the taskbar.
The mission was completed when she went to see Rum.
『Completed』『Birth of a Witch』
"Chris wants a home, Subject Three wants freedom, and Chris Wynyard wants Mr. Ghost to be with her all the time."
"And what does Vermouth want?"
"Perhaps what's important is not knowing what you want, but knowing what price you have to pay for it."
"Reward: 30,000 experience points."
"Forced departure remaining time: 70 hours 34 minutes."
"Three days." She looked up at Gin.
"Come with me on the mission," Gin said.
He knew that Lin Xi preferred to come out and do things rather than stay at Rum's place to deal with tedious documents.
This person is born with an adventurous spirit. When he sees something interesting, he is like a cat seeing a thread.
He still had many questions that had not been answered, so he had to keep her by his side and observe her first. Going on a mission was a good excuse.
Lin Xi had the expression of a corporate slave who was suddenly caught slacking off at his workstation and then ordered to work.
"Two of the shareholders of Baijiu Pharmaceutical are disobedient, and Rum wants to get rid of them," Gin said quickly. "There's a music and dance party tomorrow, and both family heads will be in attendance. Don't you hate parties? We can blow them all up."
Explode to the sky.
Look, young Gin uses such cute words.
Lin Xi's mouth corners curled up unconsciously.
"OK."
"You just said that the person Rum sent to pick you up died? Well, that's just right for me to take over and be your partner."
"But it's not just me—we have a new member who has never been on a mission, and I want her to join us."
Gin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he heard the words "new member" and "never been on a mission".
"Who have you taken a fancy to now?" he said coldly. "I hate idiots who hold us back."
"Don't worry, she's very smart. Besides, you've met her before."
Has he seen that person?
Gin immediately recalled in his mind all the women he had ever met.
...none of them meet the characteristics of "very smart" that Lin Xi mentioned.
Never mind. As long as she's happy.
Gin turned around and took out new clothes from the closet and put them on.
Her mood seemed to have recovered a little, and she was looking at his chest muscles with great interest.
Hope she can keep it up.
