Concealment and Investigation

"Phew—I'm back alive! That was really tough."

"Five 'Order' Administrator, all from big cities, this is truly thrilling and exciting."

Inside a clean and tidy clinic, Fluoxetine sat on the edge of the examination bed.

Although she said it was "thrilling and exciting," there were no visible wounds on her body, and only a few mud spots on her shoes.

Meanwhile, Dilaudid, whose head was bandaged and Right Hand was in Plaster, was wincing in pain.

"Fluoxetine, if this ever happens again, I'll change my surname to yours if I even glance at you!"

The young Doctor, dressed in all black Intern like an intern, who was applying morphine to the back of Dilaudid head, shook his head.

"Teacher Du, please don't make any absolute statements..."

Seeing that Dilaudid's eyes were drifting towards him and his mouth was slightly open, the young Doctor quickly interrupted the spell.

"But it's really not Underground passage of Ms. Fluoxetine to do this," he commented while applying the medicine. "You know, she pulled off such a huge stunt without reporting it to the organization, quietly causing such a big mess in Jiang City..."

"They even created a word puzzle and gave away two tickets."

"Teacher Feng was so angry she almost fainted when she found out!"

Dilaudid also turned his guns on Fluoxetine: "This ridiculous mess is really absurd. You couldn't have come up with this unless your brain was run over four times by an eight-wheeled, twenty-five-ton semi-trailer truck and then urinated on by fifteen large, fierce dogs... And I saw on the forums that you were doing a word puzzle with them in Instance —when did you go to such a challenging Instance? May I ask?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Fluoxetine stuck out his tongue. "Hey, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing... It wouldn't be fun if I told you guys and those guys in the organization."

She spoke with a grin, making no attempt to defend or excuse herself.

"Keeping this from even your partner is a bit much, isn't it?"

The young Doctor protested again.

"Chlorpromazine, you should just give up already. It's not good to hide it from others, but it's definitely not right to hide it from you—it's been almost a year and you're still 'Tier 1.' I don't even know how you were rated A-Class back then. You're like a 'ninja,' quite intimidating. Last time, I was too busy to get Fluoxetine done, so I asked you to evaluate that... that 'soldier,' and as soon as you heard someone was a 'soldier,' you threw a smokescreen and ran away. Do you even have a coffin left?"

Dilaudid said with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"That's only about fifty meters from the Tycoon's lair. Am I afraid of some newbie who just became Player? I'm afraid he'll fight me and attract the Tycoon's attention."

The Doctor, or rather the "ninja," who was called "Chlorpromazine," protested.

After subtly criticizing his colleague, Dilaudid then turned to Fluoxetine.

"Fluoxetine, what exactly are you plotting?"

When asked this question, Fluoxetine sat on the edge of the bed, leaning back slightly and looking at the clinic's ceiling, her legs swinging gently.

"To be honest, I don't know what 'I' am doing... However, I just feel like I've discovered a very, very novel and interesting talent, someone who is definitely worthy of being noticed by the Deity, but for the time being, no one else has noticed him."

She smiled, her lips pursed, the glitter at the corner of her eye sparkling.

"Just what kind of guy is he? He even dares to use me. So bold, so clever, so mysterious..."

Fluoxetine stuck out his tongue and licked his moist lips.

I really want to see that guy!

She spoke cheerfully, while Dilaudid and Chlorpromazine sighed in unison beside her.

"It's already June and you're still causing this damn peach blossom plague. We have to say, your seasons are really turned upside down..."

"This report is going to be hard to write!"

In North Bridge District of Jiang City, Lin Yu, carrying a hiking backpack and wearing a windproof jacket, rode his bicycle to the pet hospital whose address he had seen yesterday.

After nearly two days of heavy rain, Jiang City has finally welcomed sunny skies.

There were still puddles of water on the ground, and a few clouds still drifted in the sky. The air was filled with the clear, clean scent of rain.

After parking his bicycle, Lin Yu pushed open the door of Lovey-Dovey Pet Hospital.

Because it was early morning and the store had just opened, there was only a young woman cleaning the entrance.

Many cats and dogs were lying in their cages.

Hearing someone push the door open and come in, the young woman looked up.

"Oh, welcome... Are you here to pick up your little one?"

Seeing that Lin Yu's hands were empty, the other party asked with some doubt.

Lin Yu shook his head.

He looked around the hospital and quickly spotted the "Best Employee" sign hanging on the wall.

Xia Yue was the employee of the month last month and the month before last.

Lin Yu spoke softly.

"I'm Xia Yue's friend... from an online friend."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the young girl was shocked and put down the broom in her hand.

"You're... here to see Xia Yue?"

"She has already..."

Lin Yu interrupted her.

"I know."

The young girl looked at the somewhat melancholy, handsome young man in front of her, and seemed to be infected by the sadness on Lin Yu's face once again.

"Please accept my condolences..."

Lin Yu nodded silently and walked to Xia Yue's photo.

Sensing the girl who had been silently watching him from behind, Lin Yu looked up at Xia Yue's photo and spoke.

"Could you tell me about her? What kind of person is she?"

For some reason, the young girl felt that the boy in front of her was exceptionally trustworthy, so after hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke.

"Xiaoyue is a very nice person. She is conscientious and responsible at work and very patient with the pets. Although she only works part-time on weekends, the customers, the manager, other colleagues, and the pets all like her very much."

"Her family isn't well-off; it seems she comes from a single-parent family and has a younger sister, so she's really hardworking. I heard she often gets scholarships at school."

"But she doesn't just treat this place as a part-time job to earn money. She's really kind-hearted and loves this job... Once, a customer brought in a puppy that was very sick, and the customer said they didn't want to treat it anymore... Xia Yue secretly paid for its treatment and it's still being cared for at the shop now... Look, it's that one."

"Yuanbao!"

The girl called softly, and a wobbly dachshund came out of the store, making "ha-ha" sounds.

Upon seeing the dachshund, the girl seemed unable to hold back any longer, her eyes slightly reddening.

"I'm not actually that close to her, but she's really... no one can dislike her."

"I don't know why she had to go through something like that, it's terrible!"

Lin Yu squatted down and patted the dachshund's head.

"Um, it's okay if you don't answer the next question. I won't force you to recall these things..."

"I want to know what exactly happened to Xia Yue?"
