Offer your allegiance to Chaos!

However, now she heard that an operator once teased Dr. Kelsey so jokingly that he almost made fun of her?

Unbelievable.

"Is... is he still alive?" Hemo couldn't help asking subconsciously.

"Cough... Don't think of Dr. Kelsey as a mafia or an executioner, she's not so ruthless."

The white-haired girl choked, "Didn't I say that? He should be back today. I heard that Penguin Logistics has left two elite operators. They are doing some sort of reorganization. The business is temporarily closed. He has no place to stay, so he can only come back." Come on, it's been half a month, and Dr. Kelsey's anger has almost disappeared."

"Oh..." Hemo also realized that he had slandered Dr. Kelsey inexplicably, and couldn't help coughing lightly, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked the operator's name yet?"

"Oh, his name is Aixi." The white-haired girl said casually, "Are you interested in getting to know him? Although this kid is a bear, he is quite easy to get along with...Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Halfway through the speech, the white-haired girl looked at Hemo suspiciously.

In front of her, Ms. Li Boli looked at her blankly as if she had heard some fantasy, and her whole body froze on the chair.

Chapter 2 Ifrit's Wish

"It's hard work, take a good rest in the next half month!"

Angel moved the last piece of luggage out of the trunk, got into the driver's seat, poked his head out of the car window, waved to Ashe with a smile, started the car, and drove away in a hurry.

Ashe waved goodbye to the distant car shadow, turned around, looked at the bridge of Rhodes Island, put her hips on her hips, and let out a long breath.

"It's finally over..."

Three days have passed since the end of the final battle, these three days can be regarded as a lot of trouble for Ashe.

First, deal with the residual impact of the Restoration Alliance incident, mainly the negotiation work with Wei Yanwu. After all, so many lives have been killed on his territory, he must give a better explanation, and secondly, he must trust the changes in Ms. Sicily. Have a clearer understanding of the fact that Syracuse will never attack Longmen.

It was obviously too late for the negotiating team of the Syracuse government to come over, and Ms. Sicily was busy with self-reflection and communication with her teacher these days, so the negotiation work was all on Ashe, leaving her idle for three years. He has regained the feeling of working overtime in Rome after a long absence.

In addition, it is to deal with the stickiness of the Sicilian lady. After being suppressed by the spirit of chaos, she has lost a lot of excessive lust and no longer keeps him pressed on the bed. Unabated, staying by his side almost 24 hours a day—probably because the two are about to part for half a month.

The stickiness is not the point, the point is that the Sicilian lady's stickiness is awkward.

As the spirit of chaos, the teacher has established a comprehensive spiritual connection with her, can see her every move, and even indirectly feel her joy and depression. big light bulb.

The most subtle thing is that it is this light bulb that Ashe loves.

Therefore, Ms. Sicily was enjoying the sympathy between the two of them, while responding to the teacher's presence, sometimes tender, sometimes gloomy, like a malfunctioning electronic barometer.

Caught between two people and two states, Ashe had to try her best to mediate and find ways to ease Ms. Sicily's jealousy. In terms of heart fatigue, it was more painful than negotiating work.

Fortunately, after three days, Ms. Sicily was reluctant to give up and had no excuse to stay. There were still countless tasks waiting for her to deal with in Syracuse.

Just half an hour ago, Ms. Sicily and Laplande bid farewell to Ashe and embarked on a trip to Syracuse.

Ashe, on the other hand, had nothing to do.

I wanted to stay at Penguin Logistics and go shopping and play cards with Neng Angel for half a month, but unfortunately, Texas decided to resign from Penguin Logistics, and the operator named "Kong" also chose to do the same. In order to leave, Penguin Logistics lost two officers overnight. Mr. Great decided to suspend his business for a period of time, and recruited Neng Angel to help him with the recruitment work.

Ashe, who was homeless, had to report to Rhodes Island and returned here.

I don't know if Kelsey's anger has dissipated, or if Rhodes Island's high-level executives have vaguely heard the turbulent winds these days, the doctor quickly approved his return.

Ashe's popularity in Rhodes Island is good, logically speaking, many people will come to welcome him, but just like the last time he left, he didn't inform any friends of his return.

After all, he only stayed in Rhodes Island for half a month, so there was no need to bring hope and disappointment.

Today is a working day, and there is no one on the sunny deck. Ashe dragged her suitcase and walked all the way to her dormitory, humming a little song, ready to have a good sleep immediately after making the bed Great sleep.

Rhode Island's rest area and work area are also separated, and I still didn't see anyone along the way, but when I walked to the dormitory area of ​​the medical department, Ashe ran into an old friend.

"Hey, sister Shining!" Ashe saw the back of the black windbreaker from a distance, and waved happily.

"Huh? It's... Ashe? You're back?"

Shining is a field doctor of the Sarkaz tribe. She has a tall, plump figure and beauty that is second to none in Rhodes Island. She is Ashe's favorite type of big sister... Cough, it doesn't matter, anyway, their personal relationship The friendship was not bad, seeing the sudden return of the old man at this moment, Shining blinked his eyes, showing a pleasant expression: "Why didn't even say hello, and when he left-"

"I was in a hurry when I left and when I came back." Ashe changed the subject and said, "What are you busy with? You look like you are in a hurry."

"Oh, I'm looking for a baby."

Shining has a gentle temperament. Before Ashe left, I often saw her taking care of children with ore disease in the Rhode Island ward every day. She always performed various Originium skill tricks for the children to make them happy. At this time Hearing the words is not surprising, just said: "Child? Who is it? Did you get lost? Why don't you check the monitoring?"

"She is a troublesome kid. Her name is Ifrit. She is the adopted daughter of a new operator in the medical department. I have a good relationship with that operator. When she is busy with work, she will entrust me to take care of the child."

Shining showed a distressed expression: "She is a patient with severe ore disease. Because of the pain, she has a bad temper and often causes troubles. She just set a small fire this morning. After being scolded, she was locked in the dormitory, but secretly Slip away...I don't want to alarm the security department, otherwise their work report will be seen by the doctor, it's not good..."

Ashe understood, he pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Let me look for it, you look for her in the dormitory area, to prove that she shouldn't have gone to the work area?"

Ashe's image in Rhodes Island is a caring little padded jacket who can help with everything, and Shining is not surprised at his helping hand, but apologizes: "Yes, sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's a small matter." Ashe waved her hand, and opened the auditory part of the sensory skill of the Book of Slaanesh.

On weekdays, there were not many people in the dormitory area, and Ai Xi quickly locked on to the younger one who was obviously younger in the sound of a few heartbeats. She didn't stop, walking in a hurry, wandering aimlessly tens of meters away.

Ashe predicted her heading direction, beckoned to Shining, and the two went together.

Walking through two corners, Ashe saw the child. It was a little girl from the Sarkaz tribe. She looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old. She was wearing a hospital gown, with her hands in her pockets, and she was walking in the corridor with her head down.

She didn't look back, and she didn't see Ashe and Shining. She seemed to be immersed in some kind of contemplation, wandering away, and waited until the two walked in front of her before she raised her head in a trance, and was startled.

"ah!"

Ifrit took a step back, looked at the serious Shining with fear, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Ifrit! Do you know how long you asked me to look for it?" Shining put on a serious expression that Ashe had never seen before, reached out and pressed the little girl's shoulder, "I told you to stay in the dormitory and take care of yourself." Reflect on why you still sneak out!"

"I, I didn't run far, I just reflected in the corridor!" Ifrit bit her lower lip tightly, and said stubbornly: "I hate staying in that kind of small room, I left a note, you didn't see it !"

"What did you say in the note? [Don't come to me, I'm out]!" Shining laughed angrily, "With such a tone, you have the nerve to say that you are reflecting on yourself?"

Knowing that she was wrong, Ifrit lowered her head and stopped speaking, but looking at her pursed lips and bulging jaw, she was not educated at all.

On the side, Ashe, who saw all this in his eyes, sighed, "You really are a standard brat—Sister Shining, if you ask me, it's better to beat her up, a brat with such a temper I know her well, and if you say a thousand or eight hundred sentences, it will be too deaf to her."

"who are you!"

She was afraid of the Shining as an adult, but Ifrit was not afraid of Ashe, who was also a young man. Her powder keg was immediately ignited, and she looked at Ashe with bad eyes: "It's as good as you say!" How big am I! Hit me? I think it’s almost like I beat you!"

Aixi raised her eyebrows. With his rank, naturally, he couldn't argue with a child, so he just gave her a sideways look, in exchange for the little girl's even more hostile expression.

"Okay, okay, Ashe, don't provoke her."

Seeing that he hadn't educated a few words, the two "children" almost broke out in a fight. Shining couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "I understand the truth of what you said, but this child... oh..."

Ashe shook her head, Shining didn't say the whole thing, but he could guess what she wanted to say.

After all, the source stone crystal fragments on Ifrit's body are too many to bear to see.

"Wait, your name is Ashe?"

However, Shining's inadvertent address aroused Ifrit's interest. She blinked, as if changing a pair of colored glasses, looked up and down Ashe, showing a strange look: "It's the witch. What Koi, Suzuran and the others were talking about, the omnipotent Ashe who can fulfill any wish?"

Ashe rubbed his nose. In order to earn happiness points, he is considered a friend of children in Rhodes Island. He often goes to the ward to take care of the children, chat with them, make desserts for them, give them some homemade gifts, and occasionally satisfy the little ones. Wish, and the personal relationship with Shining also came from this... But he felt that he didn't do many things, and he didn't expect to win this wonderful title.

"Yes, he is the Ashe you've heard of." Shining smiled and answered Ifrit's question for him.

"Oh--"

Ifrit drew a long voice, stared at Ashe thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked: "If I apologize to you and let you offer a price, can you help me fulfill a wish?"

"What wish?" Ashe was a little curious, but also a little funny, this brat is really flexible.

However, Ifrit's next words made Ashe's smile freeze on her face.

"Let Hemer...my guardian, let her forgive me, is that okay?"

Chapter 3 Reunion

"Hemer?"

Ashe's smile remained unchanged, and no one could see the turmoil in his heart, "Is your guardian called Hemer? It's really a nice name."

"Olivia Hemmer, a former senior director of Rheinland Life, just joined the medical department two weeks ago. She is a lady with profound knowledge and gentle temperament." Shining smiled and explained to Ashe: "Everyone in the medical department They all like her, and you will too."

"Of course, Homer is the best in the world!"

Ifrit put his hands on his hips, with a smug look, he turned and said, "You haven't answered my question yet? Can you satisfy this wish?"

"I always have to figure out the cause and effect of my wishes."

Ashe shrugged his shoulders. At this moment, he didn't know how many thoughts were surging in his heart, but he couldn't see it at all on the surface, "When you say that Hemer forgives you, you should mean that you set the fire? Why did you set the fire?" ?”

"Who told them to lock rabbits and mice in cages!" Ifrit's eyes darkened for a moment: "I hate this kind of thing the most! Slicing and dissecting living things just for so-called research... and setting them on fire It's not me, it's the guy hiding in my head!"

"Ifrit... used to be the experimental subject of Rhine Life."

Shining sighed, lowered his head, and whispered to Ashe: "And in her psychological evaluation report, she repeatedly mentioned a monster covered in flames, which may be a split personality..."

Ashe raised his eyebrows, said nothing, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you with this, but it's not a matter of a while, I need to prepare, first tell me about your relationship with me. Where is Hemer's dormitory, I'll look for you when I'm ready."

"Great!" Ifrit almost jumped up happily, and quickly reported a series of house numbers, and also intimately explained when Hemer and herself were in the dormitory, including when they were alone and together period.

Shining looked at this scene with a smile, and after the words fell, he held Ifrit's hand, "Then I will take her back first."

"Yeah." Ash also smiled.

"That's right." As soon as he turned around, Shining suddenly remembered something, tugged at Ifrit's hand, and reminded: "Don't forget that."

"what?"

"Sorry."

"This..." Ifrit's expression froze, and he turned around awkwardly, "Well, since you can help me, it's okay to apologize... I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, I don't It's time to mock you."

In fact, I was the one who started the ridicule first, Ash touched her nose and smiled, this child doesn't look so hopeless.

Saying goodbye to Shining and Ifrit, Ashe dragged his luggage to the dormitory, and threw the box to the corner. He didn't make the bed, and sat on the bed, staring at the ceiling, in a daze.

At this moment, he finally had a chance to chew on the amount of information just now.

"Hemer...and Ifrit?"

After a long time, he smiled wryly: "It's really too much a coincidence. I thought it was just a half-month vacation, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

Speaking of which, what about Serena?

He remembered a familiar name again, and his eyes became a little dazed and deep.

Various fragments of memory flooded into his mind, causing him to fall into memories for a while, and he did not wake up for a long time.

Until the Rhode Island bell rang, which symbolized the end of get off work on a working day. According to Ifrit, at this time, she should undergo a routine examination in the medical room, and Hemer would return to her dormitory to perform a routine examination on her. meal.

After thinking for a while, Aixi stood up, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and then dug out the pile of clothes from the suitcase. After choosing for a long time, she found a clean and well-matched dress, and tried it nervously in front of the mirror. After trying it, he opened the door and walked to the bedroom where Hemo and Ifrit were.

Walking on the road, seeing a few friends saying hello, Ashe responded with a smile, but was obviously a little absent-minded.

Arriving at the destination, Ashe reached out to knock on the door of the dormitory, but hesitated again. After a while, she gritted her teeth and knocked heavily and slowly.

Next, there is a short but long wait.

I don't know how many seconds or minutes passed, Ashe felt a little suffocated, finally, the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind the door, and that strange but familiar voice: "Ifrit? Why are you so early today? At once……"

Pushing open the door, the voice stopped abruptly.

Hemo stared blankly at the young man in front of him, his pupils almost narrowed to a point.

"Yo, Homer... Long time no see."

Ashe's mouth was a little dry, and his smile was a little stiff. He waved his hand and said dryly, "I heard about you just after returning to Rhodes Island... What a coincidence."

"..." Hemo stared at him and didn't speak for a long time.

Ashe opened her mouth again, wanting to say something more, but what came out of her mouth was still silence.

He also stared at Hemo closely, his eyes a little dazed.

The last time we met was seven years ago... But time seems to have left no trace on the two of them, he and she are still the same as before.

However, the mood is quite different.

To be honest, at this moment Ashe suddenly felt a little regretful. Although he had been thinking about it for so long in the dormitory, he was still too impulsive. Should he send a letter or make a phone call first, and make an appointment to meet again at a suitable time? Both leave enough time for mental preparation?

Moreover, he also forgot to bring any gifts, so he just walked in the door empty-handed... Yes, given the relationship between him and her, naturally he didn't need to bring any gifts, but that was a thing of the past after all. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the gift to set some distance?

During the short look at each other, Ashe's mind was messed up by thoughts.

Until Hemer spoke softly.

"...Come in first."
