"La casa fantasmal ahora es un nido para estas criaturas..."
"Y estos ejecutivos de Tiandehuo son... cultivos?"
"¡..."
"Nido de criaturas psíquicas?"
Al escuchar a Líbano hablar, el granjero parecía confundido. "¿Entonces cómo salió el capitán?"
"Eso es lo que hizo y eso es lo que hice."
Lu Xin miró al granjero con una actitud profesionalmente despectiva.
Pero se dio cuenta de algo y lamentó: "Si hubiera traído a Líbano, habría sido más fácil..."
Había pensado en que si llevara a Líbano, él no tendría que trabajar tanto. Sin embargo, el granjero escuchó esto con una expresión cambiada y lo miró con pena, comenzando a reflexionar si había hecho algo mal.
Finalmente parecía desesperado: "¿Ellos son criaturas psíquicas?"
Han Bing también estaba confundida. Tomó notas de lo que Lu Xin decía, pero no encontraba una explicación para este fenómeno y su ceño comenzó a formar una arruga profunda.
Decidió tomar nota detallada y luego miró al hombre dormido, envuelto en las cortinas, que emitía ronquidos.
"Este también es un ejemplo?"
"Sí."
Lu Xin asintió y se levantó. Tomó un rincón de la cortina con una mano y preparó para quitarlas.
Líbano cambió su expresión inmediatamente, retrocediendo un paso, mientras Han Bing adoptaba una expresión seria, presionando sus labios.
Lu Xin recordó algo. Se levantó, tomó la túnica protectora que había acumulado en un rincón y se la ofreció a Han Bing: "Aunque no habrá problema, para ser preciso te traje una túnica protectora, cómela.""Ah?"
Han Bing was momentarily stunned, raising her head to look at Lu Xin with a surprised expression.
Lu Xin smiled as he looked into her eyes and said, "It's quite heavy."
Han Bing thought of something, quickly lowering her head again. Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she took a deep breath before looking up once more. She wore an expression of sincere gratitude and a touch of emotion on her face. She gently accepted the protective suit and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Single Soldier."
Lu Xin smiled back and said, "Of course, your safety is most important."
Han Bing was so moved that she could barely find words to express it. She nodded slightly before going into the bathroom to put on the protective suit. Actually, this suit could be directly worn over clothes without needing a change of attire. However, as a shy young girl, she instinctively chose to avoid others, and Lu Xin did not mind; he simply stood by the bed, waiting quietly for her to come out.
Gecko glanced at Lu Xin before looking towards the bathroom direction again. He shook his head slightly and made two "tsk" sounds.
"What's so special about being a captain...?"
...
Once Han Bing had put on the protective suit and donned the helmet, she returned to the hotel room.
Lu Xin looked at her somewhat clumsy and bulky appearance due to wearing the protective suit and was suddenly reminded of when he and other men in the Sea Nation during the initial phase of the Heavenly Kingdom project were seen as tin cans by female employees. They had all been dressed in these suits and laughed at.
Is this revenge finally taken?
...
"Are you ready?"
Seeing them gather around, Lu Xin slowly pulled back the curtain.
Han Bing and Gecko clearly adopted a war-ready stance, fearing they might see something horrifying.
But to their surprise, the figure behind the curtain was a clean-dressed man quietly lying down. He seemed just asleep, even producing a faint snoring sound. None of the imagined crawling monsters appeared at all.
For Lu Xin as well, what he saw was a sleeping man.
He had a vague realization that this might be because when he first saw him, there were many spirits that would soon mature and crawl out of his body in their "nest." However, now those spirits seemed to have been frightened away, retreating back into the man's body?
