Rhodes Island's Psychologist

Chapter 161: Uninvited

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Lin Ye rubs his nose in annoyance.

Ifrit glances at him, "What are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing?" Lin Ye frowns slightly, "It's strange. Did I really catch a cold? Wait, do you feel that? This place is strangely cold."

"Cold?" Ifrit raises her eyebrows slightly. She extends a hand to Lin Ye, and a small flame appears in her palm, "I will help you keep warm then."

"Kids shouldn't play with fire."

"One more word and I will burn you to death!" The flame suddenly grows, emitting more heat and becoming more menacing, as Ifrit's mood swings.

However, facing the threat from Ifrit, Lin Ye isn't really scared, because he's used to her threats, not to mention he just needs to use Silence to counter Ifrit's threat. Nevertheless, he can just sit it out, and Ifrit will withdraw her threat eventually.

A moment later...

"Hey, Lin Ye".

"Call me Dr. Lin."

"Why? I don't call..." Ifrit pouts. She mumbles, "This is so unfair."

"Why is it unfair?"

"It's just not fair! How about this? I can call you Dr. Lin, but you have to call me Lord Ifrit?" Ifrit raises her eyebrows triumphantly as if she's found the perfect solution.

Lin Ye rolls his eyes inwardly, "Sure why not?"

"What?! Really?!"

Lin Ye glances at her, " But whenever you talk to Silence, you must call her mom. Oh, do that for Saria mom. Hmm, I like the sound of that."

Ifrit is taken aback by that suggestion. She barks, "Damn it, Lin Ye! I can't take it anymore! I will really burn-!"

Someone suddenly cuts her off, "Ifrit."

Ifrit pauses. She turns her head toward the stranger.

There, a middle-aged man with glasses is watching them from behind.

"Long time no see." The middle-aged man smiles, "Do you remember me?"

The moment she sees the middle-aged man, Ifrit's expression changes immediately. She steps back subconsciously and hides behind Lin Ye.

Lin Ye frowns. He stares at the man while shielding Ifrit with his arms, "Who are you?"

"Relax." The middle-aged man raises his hands to appease Lin Ye, "I mean no harm. I came over to see Ifrit. It's been quite some time, since we saw each other." He then looks at Ifrit, "Do you remember me? I'd been there watching you grow up."

"Are you from Rhine Lab?" Lin Ye asks.

"Former Rhine Lab director, Cardo." Cardo smiles amicably, "Ifrit should know me."

Lin Ye glances at Ifrit. She's calmer now, but her expression is still tense.

She seems upset. "I don't know you".

"I can understand why." Cardo nods, "By the way, I heard that you have memory loss. Is that right?."

"I'm not the same helpless devil anymore." Ifrit grits her teeth, "And my head is fine."

"Helpless?" Cardo is a little puzzled.

Lin Ye coughs and asks Cardo, "Why are you here? Silence should have followed your group inside."

"Oh, they're just checking some small lab equipment. We don't need that many people for that. Of course. I'm definitely going to greet her later. She's the best researcher I have ever worked with." Cardo smiles, "But I want to see Ifrit first. Everyone from Rhine Lab cares about Ifrit. Since Rhine Lab was disbanded, we have worried about her condition. Now that I see she's fine, Silence seems to have done a great job. That makes me really happy."
