Chapter 35: A Wish Held by the Wind (Edited) Who…is she…?
Huiyuan Ai retracted her gaze, coughed lightly, and took the ointment in her hand: "You were injured today, let me apply the medicine for you."
Somehow, she was particularly concerned about the injuries on Lin Xi's body. Even though she knew they were just minor scratches, she still couldn't let it go.
Lin Xi: “…”
Well, it's over with Conan.
"Well... there's no need to go to all that trouble." Lin Xi considered her words, "They were all minor injuries. I bandaged them at the time, and they've all scabbed and healed now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have showered."
She really didn't want to apply the ointment because it felt sticky and had a smell that was disgusting.
After the system upgraded her fighting skills, it also enhanced her physical fitness. Even her wounds healed faster than those of ordinary people. When she said she was fine, she really was fine.
But the little girl was very serious: "But Sister Lin, injuries need to be treated with medicine so that they can heal faster. The teacher at school said that if you feel uncomfortable, you should go to the infirmary, and if you are injured, you should bandage it well. Isn't that right?"
Lin Xi had nothing to say now.
She reached out to take the ointment, but Haibara Ai's hand retracted.
"Sister Lin, let me help you wipe it."
"Ah, Ai-chan, I can do it myself..."
Huiyuan Ai said softly: "But I am worried about Sister Lin. Besides, Sister Lin's back is injured, you can't reach it yourself, right? Why don't I do it?"
She glanced at the faint scratches and bruises beneath Lin Xi's bathrobe. "Besides, if scratches aren't treated properly, they can easily leave large areas of pigmentation. Sister Lin doesn't want her skin to be covered in dark scars, does she?"
The fair skin makes the scars more noticeable and more annoying.
Lin Xi noticed her unusual attitude and guessed that someone close to the little girl might have been injured, which made her particularly concerned about this matter. So she stopped insisting, nodded, pinched Huihara Ai's face, and agreed.
Fortunately, those injuries were indeed minor and could be healed by applying some medicine. After applying the medicine, Huihara Ai even gathered her wet hair and blew it dry, which made Lin Xi feel as if their identities had been reversed: she was the one being taken care of.
She took a deep breath. Intellectually she knew that she shouldn't let a child take care of her, but emotionally she felt very comfortable with her little sister's care. So she just indulged herself and enjoyed her sister's care.
After they said good night to each other, Haibara Ai closed her door and turned off the lights for her before leaving.
So Lin Xi didn't see the complicated expression on Huibara Ai's face when she closed the door.
Four hours ago.
"So, Edogawa, if I don't ask, how long are you going to keep the fact that Sister Lin was injured a secret from me?"
Ai Haibara held her phone and asked expressionlessly.
Conan sweatdropped: "Ahaha, this, this is actually what Sister Lin asked me not to tell you..."
Huiyuan Ai: "What happened?"
"Huh?"
"Sister Lin has been with you all the time, right? What happened?"
Conan: “…”
Something very dangerous happened.
But facing those dangers, Sister Lin didn't seem to show any fear at all, every time -
Conan couldn't describe the feeling, but he felt that Lin Xi seemed to have a strange self-confidence, confident that even in the face of these dangers, his life would never be taken away by the god of death.
"It's just a violent group," Conan said. "I thought they were an organization at first, but later I found out they were just ordinary gangsters. They had guns and were involved in drug trafficking. When we were investigating, we found that the disappearance of one of the suspects was related to the gang. They were lying in wait for the detectives, but none of us were hurt."
"Sister Lin wasn't shot. She just had scrapes and bruises from a fall. It looks scary, but it's actually nothing serious. We even had lunch together afterward. You know Sister Lin. She just doesn't want you to worry."
Huibara Ai pursed her lips into a straight line.
"What an idiot."
Conan didn't dare to speak.
He mourned for Sister Lin in his heart.
He said, how could such a thing be hidden from Huibara!
Huiyuan Ai: "If something like this happens again, you must tell me."
Conan agreed to her at that time.
At this time, Haibara Ai closed the door, but her mind was still racing.
She was thinking, Sister Lin, who... is she?
No matter how brave ordinary college students are, they will be scared when they meet gangsters, right?
But Sister Lin didn't seem to be afraid at all. Was it the fearlessness of a newborn calf? No, it was more like a certainty of confidence, which was why she didn't take the gang seriously.
So, such a special Sister Lin met her who had left the organization...is it really a coincidence?
Let’s not worry about what Haibara Ai was thinking.
Lin Xi lay on the bed and decided not to waste time and go directly into the copy.
Now her whole body smells of medicine, the wounds on her body are all coated with medicine, and some parts are bandaged.
In fact, if she really wanted the scars to disappear quickly, Lin Xi could just use the "fast-healing bandage" or "traumatic injury medicine" in her backpack.
But she was a little reluctant.
The products produced by the system seem to be quite reliable and very useful.
If someone around her gets hurt in the future and she doesn't have these things, she will definitely have a headache.
She could minimize the damage she might suffer by rewinding her game, but others didn't have that privilege. She also felt that these things might be of great use in the future.
Lin Xi clicked on the plot line.
『Unfinished』
"Law of the Jungle and ■■■■"
"Confirm to enter the dungeon: Law of the Jungle and ■■■■? The currently ongoing story quest will be paused until the player returns to the current timeline."
Lin Xi chose "Yes".
"loading……"
"Do you want to use a special ID card?"
"yes. "
"Please choose your identity token: A. Key x1 (improves computer skills); B. Cigarette x1 (improves cold weapon skills); C. Cat x1 (improves disguise skills)"
Lin Xi:?
Good abstract options.
Eliminate option B first.
Good kids don't smoke.
As for other options…
Isn't this a multiple choice question?
Is there anyone in this world who can really resist cats?
Except for people who are allergic to cat hair.
She decisively chose C.
"Disguise has been upgraded to Lv4 (ever-changing)"
"Loading completed, I wish player 004753 a happy game."
…
Lin Xi was a little confused.
Since she entered the dungeon at night, it was also night when she came over.
She was still lying on the bed, but there was a cat beside her.
Lin Xi subconsciously stroked it with his hand.
The cat purred.
...It's alive.
So magical.
This is a pure white cat, not very big, like a kitten less than one year old.
That’s great, Lin Xi thought, this way he can probably stay with me for a few more years.
A cat's lifespan is only about ten years. When she returns to the "present", the kitten can still accompany her for eight or nine years.
Lin Xi didn't disturb the cat's sleep. She turned over and looked around the room.
...Well, no matter which timeline, the houses under Lin Xi's name are decorated in the style she likes.
Warm green walls and wooden furniture.
Warm wall lamp.
A decor full of organic elements and curvilinear styles.
On the wooden cabinet against the wall was a calendar with the words: April 2000. (Note 1)
She took out her phone and took a look. There were several new messages on the phone:
"Did you know there are some outstanding young talents among the newcomers?"
"It's your type!"
The sender's note was "Chianti".
She had an impression of Chianti.
She has a partner named Cohen. He always fails in sniping others, but he always hits his teammates accurately?
She remembered that she had a beautiful butterfly with spread wings tattooed on the corner of her eye.
And from Vodka:
"Punch, could you bring me some of Yuri-chan's merchandise? I'm on a mission, so busy..."
"I'll bring you some souvenirs when I come back! (PS: I won't be able to do that if I'm busy, hahaha)"
And Cohen sent her:
"Climbing a mountain, shall we?"
"Overtime, canceled: ("
Lin Xi: ...
It seems that no matter which world, workers cannot avoid the fate of working overtime.
She didn't reply in a hurry, but closed her eyes and thought for a moment, perfecting the character design of her new identity in her mind.
First, in terms of background, it is best to have an uncontrolled and free-spirited identity. It is best to have a high position in the organization so that you can refuse unwanted social engagements.
Secondly, in terms of her stance, she had to leave some room for whitewashing. Although she had used this identity to approach Amuro Toru, it would be best to guide Amuro Toru and make him think that this was a misunderstanding, and not to equate this identity with Lin Xi so quickly.
Finally, in terms of personality, one should be straightforward, lively and interesting, have a childlike nature, and not know good from evil.
To meet these three requirements, she had to be young, preferably underage, from an organization that was highly valued... a test subject would be fine. She also had to have a "weak spot" that could be exploited, a pretext for pulling strings when necessary, but she couldn't have a true weakness...
Then, it would be appropriate to invent a relative for this identity.
My sister and brother are good.
After she had almost thought it through, she began to think about her identity and appearance.
It would be best if her appearance was different from her original appearance. Her appearance should be so excellent that it would be impressive and unforgettable, and she would be separated from Lin Xi in other people's subconscious.
So, her appearance could be somewhat exotic... a Eurasian girl with slightly curly red hair, green eyes, and a few freckles. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, skilled in both marksmanship and combat, adept at disguise, and highly reliant on the organization. Her codename was... Punch.
As for her brother, he didn't have to be related to her by blood. He just needed to be of delicate Asian descent and look similar to her current appearance, with light brown eyes and black curly hair. As for his identity... it was to be determined, but he couldn't be a member of the organization.
Their pseudonyms are the brother Hirojin Shibahara and the sister Saki Shibahara.
She glanced at her side and saw a cat sleeping on the soft cup, snoring softly.
She wanted to go to the mirror and try out her newly upgraded disguise technique, but if she got out of bed she would definitely wake the cat up, so she gave up and just picked up her phone and replied to the messages one by one.
Reply to Chianti:
"Really? I like nice things! I'll go to the training ground tomorrow to check it out. Thank you Chianti o3o!"
Reply to Vodka:
"That's so pitiful, Vodka... I've been really busy these past few days... I can help you bring him, but you have to keep me informed. If Gin returns to base xx, please let me know in advance!!"
Reply to Cohen:
"Let's make an appointment next time! I'll go hiking with Chianti if I get a chance!"
After replying the message, she opened the map and took a look at the location of the organization's base. Sure enough, it was just two kilometers away.
She now has a designated driving tool provided by the system - a "cool motorcycle", which she can ride to the base.
She lay on her back in bed, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
