Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

"Are you worried about my safety? Then why don't you just protect me————"

After discussing the time with Zuo Jian again, the doctor casually hung up the phone.

"It sounds like there will be something else to deal with tomorrow... Hey, evil spirit, what do you want to say? Say it now."

The Doctor shook the communicator and spoke helplessly.

However, the only response she got was silence.

"Damn it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it! Or do you just like to talk halfway? Don't you think it's easy to corrupt the people around you? One day, the people around you will definitely be just a bunch of riddlers!"

She pouted a little unhappily, then spoke as if she didn't care.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Tell me when you want to say it. But next time if you say half of what you said like you did now——"

'Thanks.....'

The evil spirit's voice seemed a little tired.

(Type! Keep typing! My soul is burning!)

Chapter 11 (Two chapters combined into one chapter) Tribute to the legendary Minotaur Ms. Xiaote

In the early morning of the next day, on the outskirts of the Earldom of Warwick.

In order to prevent their actions from causing unnecessary panic and suspicion among the residents, Zuo Jian, Laurentina and Skadi arrived at the outskirts early in the morning.

But the good news is that last night, in addition to finding the flush toilet that Skadi had been longing for, Laurentina and the others also discovered that the guest room in the mansion was even equipped with a single bathroom.

Well, it is the Earl's Mansion after all. No matter how simple it is, it can never be compared with the configuration of an ordinary family.

So now, except for Laurentina who has always looked unwell, Skadi's mental state is unexpectedly good.

They sat in the land vehicle on the left, watching from afar as the city gradually came to life with the sunrise. Gradually, they could see a few pedestrians walking out of their homes and passing through the streets.

Perhaps it was related to the fact that he had entrusted his butler to publicize his extraordinary friendship with the Earl of Warwick yesterday, or perhaps it was simply his own wishful thinking. For these residents, leaving home every morning to greet the next day's sun was a necessary step, and it might have nothing to do with his actions...

However, when I thought of this, my enhanced vision easily noticed that a pair of neighbors walked out of the two adjacent houses almost at the same time. They both had a relieved expression on their faces, and naturally started chatting with others...

Seeing this, Zuo Jian smiled and shook his head.

What does it matter whether they walked out of the house and showed such a relieved expression because of their own reasons? The point should not be who is to blame for these processes, but that these Tara people

New people have taken to the streets, even though there are only a few of them here and there, but it means a good start.

Thinking of this, Zuo Jian lowered his head unconsciously and looked at the map made of blood floating in the palm of his hand.

The mysterious underground facilities built by the Sarkaz were not far from here. If something really broke out one day, it was hard for him to imagine what would happen here.

… He didn’t allow that to happen.”

Maybe if he is lucky, not far underground, there is a group of reclusive Sarkaz, a group of Sarkaz eager to live, and the one who affects his consciousness may be just an innocent Sarkaz who accidentally awakened spiritual Originium skills.

If so, he even hoped that after quickly confirming that the threat was only speculation, he could also accept the Sarkaz who were trying to survive in the wilderness.

"You're thinking about unrealistic things again, Zuojian."

But the next moment, Laurentina walked to his side and spoke in a calm tone.

"I just hope things can turn out for the best."

Zuo Jian raised his head slightly and looked at the dazzling sunlight.

"Zuojian, I still have to remind you not to have too high expectations. It's not that I have any prejudice against the Sarkaz race, but simply from the results, a group of mercenaries, a group of bloodthirsty mercenaries, came to an uninhabited area, and built something behind the scenes with materials obtained from unknown channels! To be honest, I can't think positively about this matter at all."

"Honestly, I think the safest way is to deploy explosive devices all around the perimeter and then bury them all in the ground at once—"

The more Laurentina spoke, the gloomier her face became.

But the next moment, Zuo Jian interrupted her.

"Laurentina, you are not very emotional, calm down..."

"How can I stay calm? There are things there that can really threaten you! You are not as invulnerable as you think, right? What if you are not careful..."

She grabbed Zuo Jian's shoulders and almost subconsciously expressed her concern in words.

"Ahem... No... It's okay, Laurentina. There won't be any actual threat this time. I think it will only have an impact at most. It's far from being a threat."

He raised his hand, trying to comfort Laurentina.

"Really......"

"real."

..........

.......

On the back seat of the land vehicle, Skadi silently lowered her head and wiped her sword with a cloth, then looked up at Laurentina in the front row who threw herself into Zuo Jian's arms...

Gu~~

My stomach made a slight protest.

I'm so hungry. I haven't even had breakfast yet... Strictly speaking, the two guys in front of me are special beings who don't need to eat in a traditional way. At this time, they will naturally subconsciously forget that there is a little killer whale next to them who needs to carry out normal physiological activities...

Skadi began to hesitate whether to ask her to get out of the car and finish her breakfast first, but looking at Zuo Jian who was calming the shark in front of her, she wondered if she should interrupt them by speaking now...

The captain said that if you don't know how to speak, just use silence to deal with it... But silence doesn't seem to make her eat breakfast...

Just as she was hesitating whether to speak, she suddenly noticed through the car window that a land vehicle was coming towards them with billowing smoke not far away...

----------

A few minutes later, on a new land vehicle that was moving, Zuo Jian looked at the doctor who was holding the steering wheel and spoke with some concern.

"Honestly, Doc, you can stay outside. Command can rely on the radio..."

“The radio has a delay, and it doesn’t allow me to make reasonable commands and judgments based on the surrounding environment more intuitively.”

"Don't forget, if the other party is really not a good person and tries to move and hide something after being discovered, then time will be an invaluable resource."

"Besides, don't you still have to protect my safety?"

"this......"

"I have no opinion."

Just when Zuo Jian didn't know what to say, Laurentina in the co-pilot seat spoke first.

"Oh? This is a bit unexpected——"

The doctor glanced at Laurentina who was looking at him intently, and listened to the latter continue speaking.

"Doctor, I will do my best to protect you, so please make sure you give prompt and correct instructions. This is very important to me."

When she said this, the doctor also noticed the way she unconsciously clenched her fists with her hands on her legs.

"Really?...I see. Don't worry, I will try my best as well."

"Speaking of which, I was really surprised that you would ask me for a favor so seriously."

"A few days ago I was——"

The doctor held the steering wheel with one hand and began to chat with Laurentina.

"That's probably not what you think. I can still tell the difference."

Laurentina said

Here, he glanced at Zuo Jian who was trying to make some excuses in the back seat.

"Besides, this outfit suits you better. The previous one was too deliberate."

She looked at the gray functional coat that the doctor was wearing and commented very seriously.

"That's really disappointing. I thought you would find me attractive dressed like that."

The doctor smiled bitterly and looked at Laurentina, who just shook her head.

"No, it's better to say that you look more attractive now. After all, wearing this kind of clothes will make people subconsciously feel that you are reliable... and worthy of my trust."

"That's true. I always feel like you, Doctor, look very reliable when you wear clothes like this."

Zuo Jian in the back seat also nodded, indicating that what Laurentina said was right.

However, the doctor smiled bitterly.

"I really don't want this kind of charm..." After saying that, she even glanced at the left room.

But the latter was stunned, nodded at her, and then gave her a thumbs up.

Doctor, you are ten or even nine points reliable!

"Gu————"

But the next moment, their conversation was interrupted by a dry voice, and the three of them glanced at Skadi who was sitting next to them in the left seat in the back seat.

The little killer whale blushed at this moment, then silently lowered his head and continued to wipe his weapon as if he had heard nothing.

"Laurentina, help me pull the right pocket of my shirt. It's inconvenient for me to drive."

At this time, it was the doctor who spoke up to end the embarrassing situation for the killer whale. The other party looked at the doctor's shirt in a strange way, then reached out and opened the pocket...

"Is this...compressed biscuits?"

"Give it to Skadi."

"Really...really?"

The little killer whale took the biscuits handed over by Laurentina with shining eyes, and then said to the doctor with gratitude, "Doctor, you are very reliable!"

"Why do you bring this?"

Seeing this, Zuo Jian asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's because I don't have the ability to fight. If something happens and I'm separated from you guys or encounter other situations, I have to be prepared, right?"

"If you don't prepare anything, what if you encounter an emergency? You have to prepare some emergency supplies."

Zuo Jian and Laurentina then discovered that the doctor's coat had various small pockets, and they seemed to be filled with "gadgets" she had prepared.

"Okay....if your map is correct, we're almost there."

The doctor narrowed his eyes, then stepped on the brakes.

"Let's start walking next."

After getting off the car, she looked at the cold wind blowing in the wilderness, bringing up gusts of sand. The doctor raised his hand, pulled up his hood, and at the same time covered half of his face with a neck brace, leaving only a pair of eyes that were constantly scanning the surroundings.

Only in this way can she feel at ease and give orders subconsciously.

"Skadi, take this."

Zuo Jian, who was standing by, handed a dark red crystal to Skadi.

"This is?"

"A part of my flesh and blood has been linked to my consciousness. Carrying it can prevent you from being attacked by the other party's mental spells."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the Doctor and then spoke.

"Doctor, could you please take out the amulet I gave you earlier?"

"...Will it have any impact on you? I mean, you will be responsible for sharing the mental attacks."

The latter seemed to be thinking and hesitating whether to do so.

"You are the core of the next step. If your consciousness is damaged, we will be in trouble."

"Sorry, I'll pay attention."

After listening to this, the doctor handed over the red crystal pendant that Zuo Jian had given him with some seriousness.

Now is not the time to be pretentious. Zuo Jian is right. The biggest trouble would be if she was affected.

"Okay, the link is established, then Laurentina——"

"I do not need."

"Yes, I will stay by your side, which will have the same effect..."

"No, you don't need to stay with me either."

Laurentina stood aside, turned her blood into a weapon, and spoke to Zuo Jian with a serious tone.

"I don't want to burden you. My mental state is much stronger than other hunters."
