Chapter 197 - 5.7 Looking For A Guide?
Lu Yizhou heard a pair of rapid footsteps approaching and the two guards saluted before the door promptly banged open in the next second, almost shaking the wall along with it in the process. A man — similar in age to Kai, Lu Yizhou surmised — in white coat strode in before he paused as he took in the scene inside the room. He had long, unruly hair that was tied in a low ponytail, androgynous features, stormy grey eyes and heavy eyebags that almost reached his cheeks. His frown turned into mild surprise as he saw Lu Yizhou standing on his two feet before a scowl overtook his features again. "It’s not advisable to get up from bed yet in your current condition, General Kai."
Oh, this must be the man that had brought him here and performed a surgery on him. Wyatt, Lu Yizhou recalled.
He sat down and made himself comfortable on the bed before his broken leg decided to give up on him in the next second. A glance to the side told Lu Yizhou that the two spirit guides had disappeared. He got anxious again. Where had they gone to? Where was his lover? Lu Yizhou could smell him clearly from Doctor Wyatt so it meant they must be close enough for the scent to rub off on him, right? How did his lover get into the hospital? Was he injured? Lu Yizhou’s jaws tightened as a ball of anxiety curled in his chest. Damn it, he should have digested the plot first instead of entertaining that stupid eagle. Look at where it got him!
"Calm down." Doctor Wyatt’s commanding voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see the doctor’s hand bracing against something on his back pants and with his sight-sense, Lu Yizhou saw a familiar lump of a gun. "Calm yourself down, General Kai. Or else I will be forced to take drastic measures."
[666: Host, you’re currently a three-senses dark sentinel that has just been rescued from death. Everyone is expecting you to expand your fourth sense in response to the danger. They are wary of you.]
In other words, they were scared that Lu Yizhou would suddenly turn morbid and unleashed a massacre on them, he hummed in understanding.
Even without 666 elaborating, Lu Yizhou could clearly smell the growing apprehension from the two guards stationed in front of the door, similarly in a defensive stance in case Lu Yizhou suddenly sprung up from bed and pounced on them. He turned his gaze to Doctor Wyatt who, despite his vigilance, didn’t show an ounce of fear. Instead, there was a sense of fortitude and serenity that radiated from him. Like a wave, it splashed against Lu Yizhou’s skin and tickled him with the same emotions, and he felt his mind sobering up despite himself. Right, there was no need to be so anxious. He ought to take one step at a time.
"You’re a guide." Lu Yizhou pointed out.
Tension bled out from Doctor Wyatt’s shoulders and he let go of the gun to put his palm across his chest, bowing. "My name is Wyatt, rank S guide in charge of this hospital and your attending doctor. Pleased to make your acquaintances, General."
