Su Shiyu’s hands were tucked into the pockets of his white coat, and he seemed to sense Zong Lin’s gaze, raising his eyes to meet his.
Those emerald-green eyes, like a cold and deep pool, reflected Zong Lin’s figure.
Perhaps due to excessive use of abilities in the past few days, Su Shiyu’s face showed obvious signs of fatigue and weariness, his already pale skin appearing excessively white under the corridor lights.
Zong Lin was taken aback.
The first time he met this savior in the bunker, there was a faint sense of familiarity about him.
This time, that inexplicable sense of familiarity emerged again.
But before he could think much, Lu Ming Kong in front of him waved and greeted him.
“Hey, Captain Zong! Long time no see!” Lu Ming Kong grinned, “It’s been seven years since I last saw you. Didn’t expect you to still be alive.”
Zong Lin: “…”
Indeed, it had been seven years since he last saw Lu Ming Kong.
The last time they met, he was seriously injured and sent back to the Research Institute, where Lu Ming Kong was thawed out to treat him.
Although his injuries were contained, the infection level could not be lowered.
After all, he had already been promoted to Rank Two, and Lu Ming Kong’s abilities had limited effectiveness on him.
However, before reaching Rank Two, Lu Ming Kong had indeed used his abilities to treat him many times.
The promotion from Rank Three to Rank Two of the “Soul” category was an extremely dangerous matter. Especially at that time, when the city was in crisis due to the “Nest Egg”, and outside the city, the aliens were gathering every day, becoming the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of everyone in the city. The Research Institute had to expedite his ability advancement in the fastest way possible.
During those three years, Lu Ming Kong was thawed out more times than in the previous ten years combined.
Because of this experience, Zong Lin felt some gratitude towards this 73-year-old “senior”.
At this moment, Luo Ming Kong peered over Zong Lin’s shoulder, his eyes suddenly lighting up. He reached into his pocket and pulled out another rose, took a few big strides forward, then smoothly dropped to one knee, holding the rose in his hands and lifting it towards Shen Jie.
“Oh, beautiful one, is this the rose you accidentally dropped on the ground? Your cheeks are even more rosy than this rose…”
Yan Hua couldn’t bear to look and covered her eyes.
Chen Jiahua looked at his captain, who suddenly seemed low-pressure and expressionless.
Flirting with his wife in front of the Captain.
Senior Luo Ming Kong, you’re something else.
Holding up the rose, Luo Ming Kong’s gaze slid from the face of the young man in the wheelchair to a faintly purple fin peeking out from under the thin blanket, his heart pounding.
“May I ask, can you bear my child?” Luo Ming Kong couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Jie propped his chin with one hand, his long black hair cascading beside his cheeks as he looked at Luo Ming Kong expressionlessly.
The next second.
Slap!
The fish tail slapped directly onto Luo Ming Kong’s handsome face, knocking his head sideways and leaving a red mark.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Apologize? Apologize for what?
He is the one who got slapped!

But now, his temper was indeed not good.
Just now, it was already the result of his control that his tail didn’t slap on the “line” representing decay on Luo Ming Kong’s face.
Suddenly, Luo Ming Kong felt a chill down his spine.
Wasn’t the person he needed to treat this time just an ordinary person? Why did the gaze make him feel scared?
And why was Zong Lin gripping his shoulder so tightly, showing no respect for the elderly… Ouch, it hurts!
“S-Sorry. I shouldn’t have made such a sudden request when we first met.” Luo Ming Kong flinched, raising his hands in apology. “But I’m sincere. I’m the number one ranked ‘Life’ ability user in the city. Whatever illness you have, I can heal you…”
Following Yan Hua, Chen Jiahua couldn’t bear to look and covered his eyes.
Zong Lin couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “Xiao Jie is my partner.”
“Ah?”
With a puzzled tone, Lu Ming Kong subconsciously asked, “You actually found a partner?”
If it weren’t for Shen Jie, Zong Lin would have dragged this guy out and taken him to the arena for a “spar.”
Three minutes later, Lu Ming Kong finally accepted the fact that Shen Jie was Zong Lin’s partner. He bundled up the rose in his hand and stuffed it back into his pocket, then began to chant a “spell.”
“…O light, please listen to my voice. O holy light, please bless the one before me.”
After a long hymn, the Rank Three ability “Healing Mantra” was activated.
The frivolous expression on Lu Ming Kong’s face disappeared, his hands opened, and his face was filled with compassion.
A white beam of light descended from the sky onto Shen Jie, accompanied by fluttering feathers, creating a stunning visual effect.
However, after the special effect dissipated, there was still no alleviation of the abnormalities on Shen Jie’s body. His fishtail remained, covered by the blanket.
Lu Ming Kong rubbed his eyes. “How is this possible?”
With his Rank Three ability, he should have had more than enough power to heal an ordinary person.
Refusing to believe it, Lu Ming Kong performed the ritual again with exaggerated gestures. However, after the effects wore off, the result was the same.
“No! How can this be? I don’t believe it!”
Lu Ming Kong wore an exaggerated expression of disbelief.
Blood flowed from his ears.
Every time Lu Ming Kong used his ability, an organ would lose its function and need to be surgically removed. Sometimes it was vision, sometimes hearing, and sometimes renal function—completely random and unpredictable.
If the randomness fell on his heart, even with Lu Ming Kong’s astonishing self-repair abilities, he would still die.
For this reason, Zhu Wu You once expended effort to imprint a probability shift on his “Fate”.
As long as Lu Ming Kong activated his abilities no more than three times a month, events such as cardiac arrest that could lead to bodily death would not be included in the random cost of using his abilities.
And as long as he didn’t die, according to Lu Ming Kong’s self-repair rate, he could quickly regenerate the removed organs.
Lu Ming Kong couldn’t believe it and tried again, but this time, he didn’t see the result.
He went blind.
All three chances had been used up. Lu Ming Kong pouted his cheeks, wanting to try again with some reluctance, but the researcher who came with him hurriedly stopped him.
“Enough, you can’t use your abilities anymore!”
Remembering that Lu Ming Kong probably couldn’t hear now, the researcher signaled to the two guards nearby, who quickly tied Lu Ming Kong up and put him on a stretcher, while also taping his mouth shut with duct tape.
Although Zong Lin was somewhat prepared for the treatment results and knew that Shen Jie couldn’t be considered a “normal person” right now, and Lu Ming Kong’s abilities might not necessarily cure him, he still didn’t expect Lu Ming Kong’s abilities to have no effect at all.
He watched from the side, his brows furrowing tighter, his fingers clenched into fists.
So now, the only option left was to continue trying with Su Shiyu’s abilities.
He turned to Su Shiyu.
“Mr. Su, please.”
Su Shiyu nodded and walked towards Shen Jie, bending down to remove the blanket covering his fishtail.
“Wait,” Zong Lin suddenly spoke up, stopping him. “Does the treatment require direct contact with the infected area?”
Su Shiyu nodded slightly. “Yes, direct contact is necessary for better treatment.”
Different abilities indeed had different ways of activation and functions.
Although Su Shiyu wore rubber gloves and looked very professional, Zong Lin still pursed his lips.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked everyone else to leave and then closed the door.
Inside the room, there were only him, Shen Jie, and Su Shiyu.
Zong Lin spoke in a low voice, “My partner is a bit germophobic and doesn’t like being touched by strangers. So, if it’s necessary for the treatment, please do it quickly.”
He then approached and looked down at Shen Jie, saying, “Xiao Jie, bear with it. It’ll be over soon.”
Shen Jie replied softly, “Hmm.”
Zong Lin stood beside them, watching as they proceeded with the treatment.
If anything went wrong, he would intervene immediately.
Su Shiyu stood in front of Shen Jie, leaning in and raising his hand to rest on Shen Jie’s cheek, with a soft white light appearing in the palm of his hand like a cloud.
Shen Jie didn’t resist, and even closed his eyes.
Su Shiyu’s hand moved slowly on his skin, fingertips rubbing over the scales around his eye sockets. Also, his cheeks and neck.
The temperature of the exoskeleton’s hand was no different from that of a normal person, but for his currently lower body temperature, it felt warm.
Under the cover of the white light, the scales gradually disappeared.
—It’s effective!
After treating the scales on his face, it was the upper body’s turn.
Shen Jie was currently wearing Zong Lin’s shirt, which was quite loose. With his eyes closed and long eyelashes drooping, he looked very obedient.
At this moment, Su Shiyu reached out to unbutton his shirt.
Zong Lin opened his mouth as if to speak up, but he had no reason to stop him.
He went to observe his lover’s expression and resistance to being touched by strangers.
The shirt was taken off.
Su Shiyu crouched in front of Shen Jie, imprinting the healing light on his flat abdomen—where there were also scales.
Neither of them spoke, just continued to eliminate the infection bit by bit. Su Shiyu’s movements were swift and decisive, while Shen Jie, although still looking indifferent and lazy, showed excellent cooperation.
Zong Lin watched the two of them and suddenly realized where the familiar feeling he had been feeling came from.
Su Shiyu and Shen Jie, one was the savior mentioned by Zhu Wu You, and the other was the vessel chosen by the King of the aliens.
Clearly, although their appearances and personalities seemed completely different, they had a similar sense of detachment. Zong Lin couldn’t put it into words. If he had to describe it, it was like being separated from this world by a layer of glass. While everyone else was on one side of the glass, they were on the other side.
Unconsciously, the scales on the upper body were treated and the treatment progressed by nearly half.
Now, the largest task came—the legs of Shen Jie, the most obvious area of transformation.
The blanket covering them was lifted by Su Shiyu.
A beautiful fish tail, adorned with purple iridescent scales, was revealed.
With just a glance, Su Shiyu placed his hand on the tail and activated his ability.
Experiencing self-treatment was quite an experience.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Shen Jie thought.
Smooth. Cool to the touch. Feels good.
No wonder Zong Lin was constantly touching him when they were in the bathtub earlier.
So he couldn’t help but control the exoskeleton to touch himself a few more times.
Zong Lin was still pondering the similarities between the two when he saw Su Shiyu’s movements, his eyelids twitched.
Then he remembered that Shen Jie had previously worked for the outside city cleanup team to take care of his younger brother.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this green-eyed savior also came from the outside city cleanup team.
He stood by for a while, unable to resist speaking up in the end.
“Xiao Jie, do you know this Mr. Su from before?”
Hahaha slapping him with his tail was amazing. I feel a little bad for Lu Ming Kong considering the price he pays for using his powers though. Zong Lin was so ready to smack him around.
