Chapter 659: Seeds of Fear

Song Lan and Lu Xiang picked a room on the second floor of the hospital.

The foundation's internal hospital is quite magnificent, covering no smaller area than any large prosthetic hospital that Song Lan knows, and it is said that except for Jasmine, who occasionally acts as a medical consultant, the prosthetic doctors hired by the foundation are also among the best in the world.

Perhaps for the prosthetic doctors, working at the Iris Foundation is one of the most relaxing and leisurely jobs in the world, the Foundation Hospital is never open to the public, only open to the members of the Foundation and knights, they do not need to face the crowd of injuries and patients every day, and they never face the risk of medical trouble.

But the Iris Consortium pays salaries that are among the best in the industry, even though they spend most of the month in the office.

So Song Lan felt that the Iris Consortium still had merit.

They almost put their wealth on their faces, at least for migrant workers who want to retire, this is definitely a good place to go.

If it weren't for the fact that the medical level was still in the most basic entry stage, he would have wanted to come to the hospital to receive a temporary salary.

After the moon season left, nothing more happened on this day, and the castle seemed to be shrouded in the calm before the storm.

There were only four patients in the huge hospital, and except for Song Lan and Lu Xiang, the other two were in a coma - one of them was the Scarlet Lord, who never woke up after falling down the stairs, and the other was a recruit mentor who was accidentally injured during a martial arts exercise.

The mentor was badly wounded, and was brought in with few vital signs.

According to the doctor on duty, all parts of his body may need to be replaced, in addition to this, the remaining psionic energy in his body is still interfering with his normal organs, they have never encountered such a patient, and it may take at least a few months to fully recover.

For the prosthetic doctors at the Foundation Hospital, it is already the peak period to admit four injured patients at the same time.

Of course, Song Lan and Lu Xiang belong to the heads.

At nightfall, the huge hospital room was empty and gloomy.

The prosthetic doctors did not always live in the hospital, they had a special residence in the castle, and only one young doctor was left on the second floor of the entire ward.

When it was completely dark, he habitually turned on his tablet and watched a movie.

This is the daily life of a doctor on duty.

On such a dark and windy night, someone avoided the sight of the doctor on duty and sneaked into Song Lan's ward.

"Shh

Lu Xiang made a silent gesture at Song Lan at the door, her cheeks were flushed, and the sound of her heart beating "plopping" could be heard clearly from a few steps away.

This was not the first time she had visited Song Lan's room at night.

But now they have a special status - in the eyes of outsiders, her relationship with the family chef is just ordinary friends, and if it is found that a lonely man and a widow have to stay in a room at night, they will inevitably be pointed at.

"Why are you here?"

Song Lan lowered her voice, and Lu Xiang's appearance made him a little nervous, and there was some excitement in the tension.

This question is a bit knowingly asked.

It's not the first day he has known Lu Xiang, what can happen if he touches his room at night?

"Let's get down to business first."

Lu Xiang approached him and closed the curtains of the ward.

She had scouted the internal monitoring of the hospital during the day, and these two rooms were also selected by her, and with her rich experience, it was naturally impossible to show her feet in front of the surveillance.

At most, it only shows the fox's tail in the end!

However, she did have something serious to look for Song Lan, there was a key question she had never found a chance to ask Song Lan during the day, and now it was quiet in the dead of night, which happened to be suitable for conspiracy, "I wanted to ask you before, where did you get the night heron?" ”

As a trio infiltrating the group, there was noticeably one less member of their team.

The last time she saw the night heron, she was still standing on Song Lan's shoulder as a vulture-like bird.

From the conversation between the servant and the nurse, she had heard about the night heron.

Some people think that she is a rare ingredient that Song Lan brought into the castle to please Miss Yin Sabel and Lady Calida, while others think that it is a new pet raised by a member of a consortium.

For the nobles who are not short of money, raising some exotic beasts is one of their most common interests.

"Comrade Night Heron is completing a classified mission."

"Confidential mission?"

"That's right, I found inspiration in her last performance."

The night he was taken away by the Scarlet Lord had left the night heron in a hurry, and she escaped from the Knights' raiders, and the exotic beasts of the castle helped her.

The Crimson Lord was an alcoholic, and that he had a close relationship with Colin Capello, all of which the exotic beasts told her.

The reason why Yelu was in a hurry was not that she was worried that Song Lan would be wiped out by the Knights, but that she was afraid that she would not be able to find the location of the "restaurant" before Song Lan made a move.

"If it goes well, she should be the best friend of the exotic beasts by now."

Knowing the language of animals is the talent of the night heron, and even Song Lan can't communicate with mutated creatures without barriers.

"Are you worried that she will go alone?"

Lu Xiang asked in surprise.

In her opinion, the night heron is a little girl who can't even control her mouth, and she has a very strong ability to dismantle the house, if she is left alone, it is unlikely that many buildings in the castle will leave traces of her eating after a while.

"Children need to exercise, and with artificial intelligence to help her, it shouldn't be a big problem."

While the two were talking, Song Lan received a message.

The message is sent by artificial intelligence, and the content of the message is a video.

"Look, trust the night heron's communicative skills!"

Song Lan was pleasantly surprised to show Lu Xiang the results of the plan, according to the artificial intelligence, this video was filmed by a mite on the body of the night heron who bought Richard Gilves's pet, and Song Lan couldn't figure out how they operated it for a while.

But the important thing is that the moon season is captured in this video.

She pushed aside the members of the guard guarding the door and walked into Richard's room alone.

The head of the consortium was sitting in front of a mountain of papers, glancing up at her.

"Song Lan, pay attention to her expression."

Lu Xiang keenly captured Yueji's small movements, and at first she thought she was wrong when she saw her inhaling before entering the door, but after seeing Richard, she finally believed in her initial judgment, "She seems to be afraid of Richard." ”

"Scared of Richard? Are you sure? ”

Song Lan stared at Yue Ji for a long time, but the chief knight in the video had already adjusted his aura and demeanor, and returned to his usual appearance, "Didn't Bai Zhu dig up the internal information of the consortium before?" Richard is just an ordinary person, and he has no combat power at all. ”

He couldn't think of a reason why Yueji was afraid of him.

In addition to the chief knight, her other identity is Richard's bodyguard, and if she wants to, at least a little "negligence in the work", Richard may be killed.

After all, there are too many people who hate the Iris Consortium, and as long as he leaves the second district, he may be targeted by the killers.

"Have you ever heard of elephant trainers?"

Lu Xiang asked.

Although she had never seen an elephant in her life, the story from before the Third War had a profound impact, influencing the training strategies of the various agencies of the coalition government.

"Adult elephants are said to be powerful enough to kill any human, but they still have a sense of awe for their trainers, and that's the power of fear – the trainers plant the seeds of fear before they grow."

It's the same with people.

Even a six-star rescuer cannot escape the influence of emotions, which once again proves the success of this theory.

"I heard that you went to see your sister today."

In the video, Richard asks.

"Hmm."

Yueji nodded, and as she spoke, her left hand hugged her right arm, which from a psychological point of view showed that she had a fairly obvious defensive mentality.

This little gesture did not escape Richard's notice, and he went on to ask, "What did you all say?" ”

"She suspects an assassin lurking in the castle, and I've launched an investigation."

"That's all?"

“…… Yes, that's all. ”

Song Lan felt that Yueji must be very bad at lying, he could see her fluttering eyes through the video, and the human-like Richard probably saw through her heart as early as the first time.

In a sense, these two sisters are really Wolong and phoenix.

One is easily deceived, and the level of a deceitful person may not be as strong as that of a high school student.

Even high school students may not be as flustered as Yueji when they lie in front of their parents that they have been studying at home for a day and have not played games online at all.

"Over the years, the consortium has not interfered with any of Jasmine's decisions, and we have fully respected her personal wishes wherever she wants to stay, which is the promise I made to you at the beginning."

Richard gently stroked the ring on his index finger.

His voice was very soft, but Song Lan clearly observed that Yueji was even more flustered this time, and this scene also confirmed Lu Xiang's initial judgment.

"So, I want you to always remember the promise you made to me, after all, we don't need to ask for your personal wishes on all issues."

“…… I understand. ”

Yueji nodded, every second she spent in this room seemed to be an ordeal for her.

Richard didn't go any further, saying, "This time tomorrow, I want you to come with sincerity, this is the domain of the Consortium, and I have an obligation to know everything that happens here." ”

This is the end of the video.

Song Lan and Lu Xiang looked at each other, and the relationship between Yueji and Richard was beyond their expectations.

They had never seen a six-star rescuer so humble in front of anyone, and those famous big companies or big families almost all held the six-star rescuer as a sweetheart.

"Female knight, what a dangerous profession."

Song Lan sighed.

This video once again confirmed his judgment, although he had no way of knowing what Yueji had experienced in the consortium in her childhood, and what kind of unequal contract she had signed with the Gilvis family, it must have been a rather bleak past.

"Indeed."

This time, Lu Xiang didn't ask Song Lan, because she wasn't idle that day.

She threw her questions to Dr. Bai Zhu and asked her to help investigate whether Song Lan's theory was credible, and finally Dr. Bai Zhu affirmed Song Lan's theory through big data.

Big data shows that more than 67.21% of the works on the market today involve the theme of female knights, and their ends are often not very good.

The second arrondissement is one of the most popular cities for female knights.

Moreover, she also understood why Song Lan couldn't come up with a reason before.

Neither the data nor the theory is wrong.

The problem lies in the platforms that provide data and theory.

She glanced at Song Lan with a playful look, stood on tiptoe in his gradually vigilant eyes, leaned into his ear, and whispered the classic line in his ear, "Goo, kill me...... Did you get your inspiration from these works? ”
