But just as Lynn was about to explode in rage and lunge forward, his left hand not only didn't dodge at all, but instead rushed straight toward him.
Lynn's punch froze mid-air.
Zuo Zuo had already thrown herself against his chest, sobbing as she grabbed the front of his shirt, making choked, whimpering sounds.
Lynn was instantly rooted to the spot.
"Great! That's really great! I thought you'd really never change back, Brain! Wuwu!"
"I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I've already heard from Master White Night what happened while I was under ntal suppression. It was really too dangerous! If Zuo Zuo had been awake then, Zuo Zuo would have definitely tried her best to keep you alive, Brain! Wuwu!"
She cried.
And this was the first ti Lynn had seen his usually carefree left-hand mutant show such an expression.
That torrent of emotion, transmitted through their physical connection, clearly traveled via nerves straight into his mind.
She was really, really worried about him.
From the mont she woke up, she had been.
Because the overwhelming feelings of collapse coming back through the neural link couldn't be faked.
Because every ti they'd faced danger before, it was always Zuo Zuo who, while complaining and yelling, pulled him out of peril. At first, maybe it was just because of that symbiotic lie he'd told to deceive her, forcing her to act that way.
But as ti passed, through their daily bickering, roughhousing, and stumbling along together, she seed to have gradually grown accustod to this relationship, accustod to that bond of entrusting their backs to each other in monts of crisis.
Even though... she was a wicked, tsundere hand...
Lynn's clenched fist slowly relaxed along with Zuo Zuo's sobs.
He let out a breath, shook his head, reached out and patted the back of her hand, sighing:
"Alright, stop crying. Aren't I fine now? What's a hand crying for... so mushy."
Watching this sentintal scene, White Night felt like a third wheel recharging its batteries.
But...
While it was indeed very touching, seeing a hand sobbing against soone's chest, with Lynn using his right hand to pat the back of that hand in helpless comfort... he still felt waves of strangeness and eeriness.
And he kept telling himself, this wasn't Earth, this was hell.
In hell, no matter how absurd sothing seed, it was perfectly reasonable and normal.
Zuo Zuo vigorously shook her hand, raised it, and looked at Lynn with tear-filled eyes, sniffling:
"I'm sorry..."
A refreshing smile appeared on Lynn's face. He rubbed the back of her left hand gently, saying softly:
"What are you apologizing for? I know you only did that because you wanted to recover sooner. Besides, you're my excellent little helper, how could I be angry with you? Hmm?"
Lynn pinched her middle finger.
Zuo Zuo sniffled, "Mhm, you're the best, Brain."
"Co on, Zuo Zuo, open your mouth. Let Brain check. You just chomped on so much money, we mustn't let your teeth get damaged. I'll examine them for you."
"Mmm... thanks, Brain."
"Co on, open wide, ah—"
"Ah—"
Zuo Zuo obediently opened her mouth.
But in that very instant, Lynn's right hand plunged straight into Zuo Zuo's open mouth with a whoosh.
Zuo Zuo's eyes instantly went wide!
White Night was even more shocked, then imdiately saw Lynn gritting his teeth, pinning his left arm against the bed with his leg, and shoving his hand inside with all his might.
"Mmph!!! Mmph mmph!!"
Zuo Zuo (ΩДΩ) struggled, but it was utterly useless.
Zuo Zuo, greatly alard, struggled with all her might: "Mmph! Mmph yah!!"
And the next mont.
Lynn's hand suddenly pulled out, a shiny Black Skull Coin pinched between his two fingers.
Lynn adjusted his monocle, squinting. "A wipe and it should still be usable."
Zuo Zuo coughed, her long tongue hanging out as she kept hacking up mucus from her mouth, lying there as if violated, shouting:
"You said you wouldn't be angry with !!!"
Lynn wiped the Black Skull Coin with a handkerchief, speaking seriously and solemnly: "One thing at a ti. Whether I'm angry or not is one matter, cutting losses in ti is another. After eating so much of your master's money, shouldn't I fish it out before you digest it?"
Zuo Zuo coughed up mucus, yelling: "You devil! I'm not worried about you anymore! I take back everything I just said! You wicked..."
But before she could finish.
Sothing's wrong! Sothing's very wrong!
"Mmph!! Mmph yah!!"
Devil!
Super devil!
With a strange squelching sound, Lynn pulled back. His sticky right hand now held two more shiny Black Skull Coins, and besides the coins, there was also a fruit-sized chanical core.
[Ding! Your Black Skull Coins 2]
[Ding! You obtained material: Intelligence Machine Electronic Core]
An unexpected harvest too?
Looks like it should be material decomposed from the chanical bodies Zuo Zuo ate while dealing with those chanical Beetle swarms before.
And it really has been a while since I rummaged through Zuo Zuo!
Who knows how many strange things are still stored in her stomach.
Zuo Zuo coughed violently, furious: "I'll kill you!! Stupid Brain, you're done for..."
Squelch—
"Wah yah————!!"
[Ding! Your Black Skull Coins 3, your Skeleton Coins 20]
This ti, luck probably wasn't good. Besides his own little money, there were no other gains.
Zuo Zuo struggled: "Didn't you hear ?! No rummaging!! No..."
Squelch—
"Aah aah————!!"
[Ding! Your Black Skull Coins 1]
[Ding! You obtained consumable: Bottled Baijiu x1]
[Ding! You obtained tool: Pesticide Bottle Opener x1]
Lynn: "???"
Sure enough, just as he suspected, this wicked left-hand girl Zuo Zuo didn't just digest everything randomly. Inside her, there was likely a separate little treasury where she secretly stored things she found useful.
Lynn looked at the bottle opener doubtfully.
White Night stood dumbfounded in the background by the door.
Zuo Zuo said weakly: "You can't—this isn't right—Brain, treating your own left hand like this is very immoral..."
Squelch—
"Wah yah————!!"
[Ding! Your Black Skull Coins 8]
[Ding! You obtained Flesh Proliferation Potion (bottled) x1]
[Ding! You obtained Heavy-Duty Biochemical Grenade x1]
[Ding! You obtained weapon: Tungsten-Iron chanical Longsword x1]
Then, under Lynn's doubtful gaze, he slowly pulled out a three-ter-long, sharp-edged greatsword from Zuo Zuo's mouth.
What the hell is this...
