Lin Ke walked upstairs and took out some desserts and fruit tea from the cabinet, placing them on the dining table. He didn't need to eat to survive, but his sense of taste was still there, so eating became a pleasure. As for what happened to the food he ate, he didn't know. Anyway, the bathroom on the second floor was only used for bathing.
Being on the second floor was also a matter of principle. The smell of alcohol in the clinic would unconsciously make people nervous and reduce their appetite. The dining table near the tea shop side on the second floor had no such smell.
"Have something to eat first."
Lin Ke said with a smile, as the sunlight from the window shone in, sprinkled on his face. The grid-like sunlight mixed with shadows, adding a lot of poetic charm to this small dining area.
"Thank you." According to human etiquette, one should say thank you when someone gives you something to eat, so she said it.
The girl ate the dessert in front of her. This was the first time she had tasted something so delicious. She picked up a piece of cake with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes narrowed. The sweet cake was decorated with cherries. She took a curious bite and ate the cherry, but then there was a crack, and the pit hit her teeth. She was in pain and tears came out, making a mournful sound.
"Ouch."
That grating sound was really loud.
Damn it, how did this child's parents teach her? Haven't they even taught her the basics of eating? What an unreliable parent.
"Don't move, don't move." Lin Ke was both angry and amused. He finally understood the feeling of parents who take care of children. They can always encounter unexpected problems in places that seem impossible to go wrong.
Lin Ke helped the girl remove the pit, comforted her for a while, and then she took a big sip of fruit tea and continued to eat the cake with teary eyes, but she became much more careful, eating slowly in small bites.
Like a crying cat, Lin Ke thought of an emoticon.
"Let's talk."
Seeing that the time was about right, Lin Ke crossed his hands in front of him and asked, "I still don't know your name. As you can see, I am the owner of this clinic and tea shop, so..."
"What should I call you?"
"I..." The girl's eyes dodged a bit, "I don't have a name."
If it's discovered that I am an experimental subject, that would be bad, she thought.
Lin Ke didn't think so. She had seen the note and could read, and with this educated appearance, it was impossible to have no name. Although he had only left a note before, he still let Paul observe on the side. He was not at ease letting the girl stay in the room alone.
Sure enough, there are still psychological shadows, right? Such as not wanting to recall the pain associated with the name, it can be seen that the family's treatment of her was not very good. Another guess might be that she doesn't want to tell her name to a stranger she just met.
In short, she is a smart and strong child. The police should criticize and educate her parents - if they can be found.
"Don't be afraid, I will take you to the police station now, and they will definitely help you." Lin Ke said with a kind smile.
"No!" The girl shouted in fear immediately, and her body moved back, "Please don't take me to the police station."
The influence of the Chaos Cult is extremely wide, and if it is discovered, her fate can be imagined.
Being captured for experiments? No, no, no, her material would be dissected directly to see what happened.
Such a situation was seen by Lin Ke.
Such a big reaction suddenly, it is indeed someone with a high status who did this to her? Thinking of Jones, is it related to the police station? Or is the murderer in the police station?
Lin Ke pondered with his head down. This is not a small matter, there is a bad person who has a connection with the people-serving police.
But he also happened to see Paul in the shadow, and he was nodding with his tentacles around his ankle.
Indeed, this girl is good.
Fortunately, he didn't call the police. The world is still full of crises, even in this city of Lainer, there will be some existence in the shadows.
Just as there must be a dark shadow under the light, this is inseparable.
"Let bygones be bygones. We should look forward, in fact, a name is just a code, just like my name is Lin Ke-Brown, anyone can be called Lin Ke, but I am me, no one can replace me." Lin Ke looked at the girl in front of him, "You are the same, you are unique and have the right to choose your own life."
Am I unique? But there are 1000 experimental subjects in the first batch, all mass-produced, she wanted to refute, but she couldn't say it, feeling a bit different.
This feeling, she couldn't explain, never had it before, but she thought it was not bad. She nodded.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Lin Ke was very satisfied with this reaction. Psychological counseling led by thinking is always the most important, which can teach a noble soul with a golden character. If cognition is forced, it will have the opposite effect.
"Plans? I don't know."
"What about your parents?" Lin Ke asked.
"I don't have parents, and I don't know what to do."
The girl looked at the young man in front of her blankly, shaking her head. She didn't know where to go, but she would never go back to the cold culture tank after tasting the sweet cake.
Just like people who have seen the light will be full of fear of the dark world.
Let the name of the 423rd experimental subject become the past, she has been reborn now.
...
If someone comes to help me, it seems not bad. At this time, Lin Ke forgot about Paul's little action, and the more he looked at the girl, the more pleasing she became.
"Well, you must need a place to stay for a while." Lin Ke smiled, "I know a guy who works in the gray industry, and he can make a new identity for you."
Just like when the old doctor registered his household for him. Through this matter, Lin Ke also felt that this other world is not as peaceful as it seems.
Although he was reluctant before, now that he has saved the person, he still needs to see if he can keep the other party and let them play a role.
"If you are willing, you can stay here for a while and work as a salesperson in my tea shop." He said, "I have also prepared some new clothes for you, and if you don't want to, you can take them away."
"Salesperson?" The girl looked at him, picked up the fruit tea and took a sip, and there was a circle of white foam around her mouth, she tilted her head slightly, and she automatically ignored the option of not wanting to.
She herself cannot live alone, even if she understands all kinds of knowledge, she cannot survive without common sense.
"Yes, as you can see, I am the only one and cannot open two shops at the same time. I am in the clinic during the day, and you just need to watch the tea shop. The work is to serve the dishes that the guests order, which is not difficult."
"What if I am recognized?"
"As for the problem of being recognized, I will buy some materials to make a hair dye to cover your hair, and then wear colored contact lenses, plus some makeup techniques, most people will not recognize you."
Lin Ke handed her a tissue and looked at the girl in front of her who was constantly thinking, and took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. Old Brown also had some research on makeup and left some books. After all, as a cultist, Old Brown needed to wear makeup when buying things.
"In the evening, the clinic will be closed, and you can rest, and I will watch the tea shop." Lin Ke pointed to the stairs and said, "You see, the stairs behind the clinic and the tea shop are connected. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come and ask me. If you encounter some ill-intentioned bad guys, you can run to me."
Lin Ke raised his arm: "Although I am not so powerful, running away with one person is still more than enough."
I'm lying to you, if the police come, I will hand you over first, he thought.
