Chapter 308 Sinner "Wouldn't it be better if they asked me to come out?"...
It was three days later when Lin Xi regained consciousness.
She opened her eyes.
He felt a dull, numb pain throughout his body. His head felt heavy from being unconscious for days, and his entire left arm was unable to move. But his body looked clean; the blood had been cleaned away, leaving only the strong smell of disinfectant.
She moved with difficulty, supported herself with her still movable right arm, and took off the breathing mask hanging on her face.
It will probably take another half a month for this injury to fully heal.
She breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyes from the hospital bed, and saw a blond young man sitting outside the glass in the dim light.
The gray police uniform fit him snugly, and the light from the ceiling made the shadows on his eyebrows and eyes even darker. His purple-gray eyes stared at her for who knows how long.
"Cough..." She forced a smile and wanted to say something, but the unbearable pain from her lungs turned the unspoken words into a cough.
The blond man sat on the sofa, looking at her through the glass with a gloomy face, indifferent to her weak appearance.
This was a closed isolation room. Similar to the one Lin Xi had seen in the lab, this room had four walls made of transparent glass, allowing anyone outside to see directly inside. The people locked inside had no privacy at all.
There was a door on the side. There were no sharp objects in the room. Apart from Lin Xi's hospital bed and the beeping monitoring equipment beside it, there was no extra furniture.
There was a phone on the bedside table. Lin Xi picked up the phone with his right hand.
"Bourbon."
"You're finally awake." Fūya Rei outside the glass also picked up the phone. The isolation room was made of special materials and had excellent sound insulation. The only way to communicate with the people locked up inside was through a special phone.
He really looks fierce now, Lin Xi thought to himself.
Even more ferocious than when he was in the organization.
"Thank you for saving me." Lin Xi was in a good mood. "Is this the special prison of the Public Security Bureau?"
"That's right." Bourbon raised his head and met her light brown eyes. "You can't escape at all. Are you happy?"
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile.
"Do you remember what I said when I first met you?"
Fūya Ling's thoughts wandered for a moment, but he quickly realized that Lin Xi was talking about the first time she met the three of them at the organization's training base when she was Punch.
At that time she said...
"You might as well form a Whiskey Boys band," the red-haired girl said nonchalantly. "It would definitely be a huge hit."
"Are you talking about your Whiskey Boys?" His voice was filled with malice. "Need I remind you that the man you thought was suitable to be a singer just put a bullet into your chest? It pierced half of your lung and was just a hair away from your heart. What a pity."
"Well, it doesn't have to be a boy band." Lin Xi actually followed up on his words and said, "The actors are not bad either? You really looked like a villain just now, the evil and bad kind. When I first woke up, I thought I saw a ghost."
There was a certain amount of truth in what he said. Anyone who had just woken up and saw a shadowy man with overhead light staring at them, his eyes a bright gray-purple like a wolf cub, would be startled.
Her reaction was quite bland.
Fūya Rei felt like gritting his teeth.
This guy is so energetic as soon as he wakes up!
He had a deal with her before, so he deliberately gave Gin a loophole when he transported her that day, but he didn't know that Shuichi Akai was also here!
That place is not suitable for sniping, right? This girl is really crazy. Isn't she afraid that Akai Shuichi will really kill her?
The doctor tried to save her for seven or eight hours and gave her back all the blood that had been drawn from her a few days ago, barely saving her life.
He examined her wound. The bullet, which had passed below her collarbone, had shattered two of her ribs and penetrated her left lung. A normal person with less resilience would have died long ago.
Now she is hinting that he has good acting skills... Humph, people like her who risk their lives to act are crazy!
Thinking of this, he sneered: "Then just think of yourself as being haunted by a ghost. Are you ready to stay here forever? Do you need me to introduce this place to you?"
"Please?" Lin Xi tilted his head.
The loose hospital gown revealed her collarbone, and the white bandage wrapped from her chest to her neck made her look slender and fragile.
"The bathroom is on the left." Fūya Rei leaned back and crossed his legs. "There's surveillance inside, so don't try to do anything tricky. There's a door on the right. There's an infrared laser outside the door. If it touches anything, it will trigger an alarm. Not even a fly can get in."
"Oh?" Lin Xi smiled. "But there will always be someone coming, right? Who will change my medicine? Who will bring me food? Do you think I can't hold anyone hostage in this state?"
"Indeed. You're Punch." Purple eyes revealed a mixture of admiration and mockery. "But I'm sorry, did you think there would be other people here? Or did you think I would give you the opportunity to meet other people?"
He slowly straightened up, the telephone cord tugged and stretched as he moved.
"You won't have a chance to escape again. I will take care of all your care. I will be responsible for changing your dressings until you recover."
Lin Xi lowered her head and looked at her clothes.
Damn, he couldn't have changed the clothes too.
"You're responsible for everything? Are the police so idle?"
"Don't worry." Fūya Ling sneered, "I worked part-time as a nurse and have extensive experience."
Lin Xi believed this statement to be true. After all, he was a working emperor. If he could make coffee as a waiter, he could certainly get into a hospital as a nurse.
"I believe you, Ling-kun. It seems that I won't have a chance to get out until you let me go." Lin Xi licked her lips, "Then you will be responsible for my meals, right? Give me the cat, a sofa, a desk lamp, and two books. Oh, and cook me two dishes."
Jiangu Ling:?
Is this the attitude a prisoner should have?
But looking at Lin Xi behind the glass, her face pale, receiving an IV drip, but her eyes sparkling, he was too lazy to argue with her: "I can't give you the cat."
Her honey-colored eyes narrowed immediately.
He found it a little funny, but he didn't show it on his face. "You haven't recovered yet. If you let the cat in, it will easily get infected. I'll take care of the coconut."
"Then I'll have ramen for lunch." Lin Xi ordered without hesitation, "and two eggs."
Fūya Ling had seen her big appetite before, but seeing that she was still craving carbohydrates even though she was always hungry, he felt that she really had a good appetite.
"Not today," he said. "Ramen is too greasy. You can only eat liquid food now."
“That seafood porridge!”
“You can’t eat seafood.”
"But I want to eat meat."
"The broth is drinkable."
"I want to eat meat."
"...a little less minced meat is fine."
"Long live Bourbon!"
"snort."
Hail Bourbon hung up the phone call callously.
His figure disappeared here. Lin Xi watched him leave, supported the bed with his right hand, and sat up.
"Your injuries this time are too severe." A familiar voice appeared in her mind.
"After all, it's Shuichi Akai." Lin Xi swung his feet, stepped on the slippers from under the bed, grabbed the IV stand and went to the bathroom.
"That's the man known as the 'Silver Bullet.' Luckily, Gin was right beside me, and he saved my life; otherwise, I might have died right then and there. But, I got away with it this time, but maybe I'll be killed next time, you know? The 'Silver Bullet' is the nemesis of undead creatures like werewolves and vampires. Only the 'Silver Bullet' can put an end to the lives of people like us."
"The identity was revealed too early."
The boss said, feeling a little regretful.
He originally thought that Shuichi Akai would not attack Punch like this. After all, Punch was just a core member and not as important as Gin.
And once he is completely integrated, he will be able to free up his hands to deal with the FBI. By then, that man will end up like his father: dying tragically in an unknown place, without even anyone to attend his funeral.
Fortunately, this carefully cultivated body has a strong self-healing ability, and it can survive as long as it can catch a breath.
He has invested a lot of effort in this body. Although he has alternative bodies, only Lin Xi's is the most special one that is bound to the system.
Moreover, now that he was at the critical stage of fusion, he had no time to distract himself and control other bodies...
So Lin Xi must not die.
"We have to find a way back to the organization's base." He said, "I've been here before, and I know the terrain here. We haven't integrated enough yet, and you can't inherit your past memories yet. When we are almost integrated, you will know how to escape from here."
"Why run away?" Lin Xi stood up and moved other movable parts of his body.
Well, I can move everything except my left hand, but my arms and legs are a little sore from lying down for several days.
This was the advantage of only training the upper body, at least she wouldn't be unable to walk. She didn't want to need help from others when walking, that would be too embarrassing.
"Aren't you going to run away?"
"I'm here and I'm being taken care of. Why would I want to run away?" Lin Xi shrugged. The movement strained her collarbone, causing her to grit her teeth. "For the past month or so, things have been happening one after another. I haven't had a chance to breathe. I must be tired too."
"You've just had a moment of leisure, you know? Did you work every day in your previous life?"
Boss: "..."
Hadn't he summoned a soul with a similar personality back then? To control the world, what was the harm in getting tired? Life was meant to be a struggle, so why was this guy so different from him in that aspect...
That's why most of the power in the organization lies with Rum! Even if he completely takes over the body, it will take some effort to reclaim the power...
"Let's recover first." The boss's voice was filled with resignation. "We'll talk about it once your injuries are almost healed."
"But, do you really plan to stay in this shabby place?"
Lin Xi smiled.
There was no mirror in the room, so she had to walk to the glass and tidy up her appearance in the reflection.
"I only said that I didn't plan to escape, but I didn't say I didn't plan to go out." She rubbed her face with one hand and smiled at the glass.
She had just washed her face with warm water, and now there were small water droplets hanging on her eyelashes, shining with rainbow colors in the reflection of the glass.
I feel like I look a lot more energetic.
"oh? "
"Wouldn't it be better to let them invite me out?" Lin Xi said easily.
