Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 66 The Lighthouse
Night, Clara, Anli district center.
A small hospital sits here, much smaller than the tall buildings next to it, and a bit out of place with the rest of the surrounding environment.
However, it is one of the most famous and excellent hospitals in the city of Clara.
It is rumored that the attending doctors of this hospital are highly skilled and able to cure all kinds of incurable diseases, especially in psychological and spiritual treatment.
However.
In fact, this hospital is just a disguise used by the Soul Descendants to the outside world.
The real identity of this hospital is actually one of Clara's four soul hunting teams......
"Lighthouse".
The Lighthouse is a very special soul hunter team.
Its members are all psychiatrists and elixir masters of the Soul Descendants, or the Soul Descendants who are more mentally powerful.
In the Night Veil, Elsa, the psychiatrist with the strongest mental power, was once an important member of this soul hunting team, and later quit the lighthouse to join the Night Curtain for personal reasons.
That's why Elsa is known as the "Lighthouse of the Night" and "The Lamp of the Heart".
At this time, inside the lighthouse, that is, in a conference room inside the hospital, several figures gathered there, as if they were discussing something.
And the person at the head of them was a tall lady.
The lady was beautiful, dressed in a black women's suit, with short beautiful blond hair and a certain touching light in her turquoise eyes.
The captain of the Lighthouse, elite soul-hunter and psychiatrist, Elena Tadera.
Elena looked at the people in front of her who seemed to be arguing, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, looking a little helpless.
"Stop. Elena said suddenly.
I don't know if it was because everyone didn't hear Elena's words, or because Elena, the captain, lacked prestige, everyone didn't calm down, but still kept making noise.
"Stop!" Elena frowned slightly, and there was a hint of anger in her tone.
"......" The crowd reacted and stopped talking reluctantly, before looking at Elena, who was slightly annoyed.
"Captain, what's wrong?" one of them asked first.
Elena couldn't help but look at this person, it turned out to be Wood, he was a young male doctor in a white coat, and the identity of the soul descendant was an elixir master, usually friendly to people, and a very amiable good gentleman.
"I just wanted to promise her to join us at the Lighthouse on a temporary basis and thus participate in this operation...... Is this so problematic?" said Elena, coldly.
"It's not...... Captain, this matter is indeed a bit ......" Wood looked a little embarrassed, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
"It's a bit unsafe. Another man suddenly stepped forward and added for Wood.
Elena let Wood go and turned her head to look at the disapproving person: it turned out to be the other female psychiatrist in the team, "Camilla", who was also the team's vice leader.
"We can't risk letting such a dangerous person join us in what if she betrays us?" Camilla looked directly into Elena's fierce eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.
"Captain, I know you do owe her a favor, but you don't have to pay her back like this, do you?"
"You can repay the favor in other ways. ”
"There's no need to accede to her request"
"If she is allowed to participate in this operation, there will be casualties...... It's not a price you can pay at will, is it?"
"Captain, you have to think carefully, don't harm the interests of everyone for your own selfishness, you are the captain of the team......" Camilla laughed sheepishly.
It seems that Camilla doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Elena, which is why Camilla's attitude towards Elena is so weird.
"You ......" Elena was a little angry for a moment, her brow furrowed.
When the others saw that someone had already come forward to talk to Elena, they all lowered their heads and did not interject, for fear that they would be implicated if they were not careful.
"You two don't quarrel, in my opinion, there are pros and cons to this matter, as long as we grasp this matter. Wood saw that Elena was angry, and Camilla looked scorching, and hurriedly dissuaded.
"And what do you think is going to do it?" Camilla said to Wood in a shrieked voice, seemingly dissatisfied with Wood's performance.
"Well...... Although she is indeed dangerous and a double-edged sword, her strength is very strong after all, and with her temporary joining, it can provide us with a lot of strength to defuse all kinds of crises that may arise......" Wood thought for a moment and said quickly.
"Hehe......" Camilla laughed when she heard this.
"And what if she's actually here to make trouble?" Camilla sneered, and said suddenly.
"This ......," Wood was speechless for a moment, apparently unable to answer the question.
"That's enough, no more talking. Elena was clearly fed up with the conversation, "I believe in her, and that's enough." ”
"Whoever wants to believe in me is involved in this operation. ”
"If I don't want to, I won't force it. ”
"You can do it yourself. ”
"Adjournment!"
When Elena finished speaking, she left the room, leaving behind the staring lighthouse crowds, as well as Camilla and Wood.
Seeing Elena leave, Wood couldn't help but hold his forehead slightly and sighed.
"Why can't we talk about it......" Wood muttered to himself helplessly.
"If you don't interject at the time, I'll have a chance to make this guy listen to me!" Camilla glared at Wood when she heard Wood's words, and said angrily.
"Alas, vice-captain...... It is precisely because of your personality and your disbelief in the captain that you will always get along like this......" Wood shook his head helplessly, and instead of responding directly to Camilla, he whispered in his heart.
Wood ignored the disgruntled Camilla for a moment and looked in the direction Elena had left...... Captain, what is your decision this time...... Could it really be right?
The quarrel in the conference room continued.
... ...
Outside the meeting room.
Elena walked briskly down the corridors of the hospital indignantly, as if she wanted to get out of the place that made her feel unpleasant.
"Yo, Sister Nana, are you in a bad mood, why are you so angry?" a crisp and pleasant slightly teasing girl's laughter suddenly sounded.
Elena couldn't help but turn sideways slightly, looking in the direction where the voice came from.
A petite figure happened to be behind Elena.
It was a beautiful girl with a petite body.
The girl has a rare waist-length silver-gray hair, and her purple eyes reveal a faint smile, which looks very touching and cute.
The girl stood there at this point, her back leaning lightly against the wall of the hallway, smiling at Elena.
Edith!
Edith, the undead maiden!
After saying goodbye to Xia Zuo for a while, Edith actually appeared here at the lighthouse!
It seems that she is being mentioned in this meeting as Edith.
It's no wonder that the Soulborns in the meeting repeatedly emphasize Edith's danger.
After all, as a casual necromancer, Edith has too many uncontrollable factors on her body.
"It's you, Edith. When Elena saw that it was Edith, she couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that the anger in her body had disappeared a lot.
"Coming to see my sister?" Elena smiled and walked over to Edith.
"Yes, but it seems that Sister Nana seems to be very unhappy today. Edith winked playfully in her purple eyes.
"Oh, don't say it. Elena couldn't help but shake her head, "These people, one by one, are very difficult, either the wall grass that refuses to speak, or the iron nails who are stubborn. ”
"Don't listen to me as a captain at all. ”
"In the end, it was my arbitrary decision to make you a temporary member. Elena smiled wryly.
"It feels like it's over...... If nothing good happens, maybe I, the leader of the squad, will lose all my prestige. ”
"It seems that my sister has suffered a lot of anger for me. Edith couldn't help but smile slightly, a little weirdly.
"Do you want me to teach them a lesson?" said Edith with a smile.
"Excuse me. Elena quickly shook her head, "If you do this, then they will probably be even more reluctant, and it will confirm the claim that you are a dangerous person......"
"Huh...... That's a real nuisance. Edith shook her head, as if feeling a little regretful.
"Then let's teach them a little lesson after the matter is over~" Edith still smiled slightly.
“...... Okay, my sister doesn't have the ability to control you. Elena smiled and nodded slowly.
"Don't overdo it. Elena said.
"Huh...... Let's see how I feel when I arrive. Edith smiled slyly.
"But sure enough, this matter was troublesome from beginning to end...... Whether it's the beginning or the end. Edith muttered to herself.
"If it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't have come here to do these troublesome things, and these things aren't very interesting. Edith turned to the side, looked out the window at the night scene, and said.
"I really don't know who this brother you are talking about, what kind ......of person can make you, a little devil, so dedicated to him," Elena said with a smile and a smile when she saw this.
"What kind of person...... "Edith smirked.
"He's a funny, gentle guy...... On the outside, like on the inside, they are very sensitive to all kinds of things, very sensual, although they may not be mature enough, but one day they will become a very good man......"
This evaluation...... It's really a ...... to praise him," Elena couldn't help but smile.
Not embarrassed, Edith blinked and continued.
"And, one more important thing, he's the same kind of person as me, in a sense, he's really my brother...... Amazing, isn't it?" Edith blinked her purple eyes slyly.
"With all that said, I decided to give him a hand. ”
"I want to be part of this operation, to get that thing, to help my brother dig deeper into the power that lies in him. ”
"Okay, okay. Elena couldn't help but nodded, "Sister, I will definitely try my best to help you this time." ”
"Not only to repay the favor last time, but also because we are sisters. Elena laughed.
"It's a pity that in my heart, my brother's priority is higher than that of you, sister. Edith suddenly smiled playfully.
"'Damn man', ruining the relationship between our sisters. Elena couldn't help but joke.
"Hey...... I'm sorry. Edith couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
The two of them laughed and talked like this, and finally left the hospital.
