Chapter 598: Chapter 595: The Young Nurse in Trouble

Lin Tian also realized that Lord Gu definitely wouldn’t dare to reveal the fact that he had lost his life Gu and was injured. Otherwise, those he had offended in the past would likely seek him out for trouble.

Of course, even if a Gu Cultivator lost their life Gu, they were not so easily dealt with, and it was true that it could threaten his position.

"Lady Kikuchi, have you ever thought about leaving this place?" Walking on the road and carrying a stretcher, Ning Luoxi suddenly asked.

Startled, Kikuchi Mika looked around frantically, ensuring no one was around before she answered, "Are you out of your mind, daring to say such things? Didn’t I just warn you all?"

"Lady Kikuchi need not be afraid, just take it as though I were joking," Ning Luoxi said with a smile.

Walking with her head down, Kikuchi was silent for several minutes before she softly said, "Sigh, if I leave, where can I go?"

"Alright, we’re here, it’s just ahead; this is where the flower room people will be, so don’t talk carelessly later," Kikuchi Mika said after walking a little further and turning a corner, pointing to a large house in front of them.

A flower room? Lin Tian was taken aback. Could it be that these cleared-out corpses were being used as fertilizer?

Before entering the greenhouse, the Ninjas who had been there before emerged, each rushing out as if escaping, as though the flower room was a terrifying place.

Stepping into the doorway, Lin Tian thought he had come to the Xiao Family’s laboratory. The flower room was large, with glass dividing it into small compartments, and different plants were cultivated in each compartment.

No, more precisely, it wasn’t just plants, because there were strange insects crawling on some plants, seeming to share a symbiotic relationship.

Lin Tian guessed that this was likely also a part of the Gu Cultivator’s laboratory, where the cultivated plants might be used for concocting medicines, and some even for cultivating Gu Worms. Those insects on the plants might well be Gu Worms.

No wonder those Ninjas had run away from the flower room; it turns out that dangerous plants and eerie Gu Worms were being grown here.

"You guys, bring it over here, and be quick about it," a man inside the flower room shouted at Lin Tian and the others as they entered.

The man shouting was in his thirties, short and emaciated, with a compact facial structure, and he also sported a mustache, adding to his sleezy appearance.

Having a mustache could go to two extremes; if one was handsome or had a strong presence, a mustache could enhance their mature, masculine charm. But if one inherently lacked presence, sporting a mustache could make them look particularly lecherous, just like the Japanese man before them.

After he shouted, he noticed that among those carrying the stretcher, there was one who wasn’t a Ninja. As soon as he made out Kikuchi Mika’s features, a possessive desire flashed in his eyes.

"So it’s Meijia; weren’t you in that other laboratory? How could they bear to let a delicate woman like you carry corpses, that’s just despicable," the mustached man criticized the person in charge of the other lab in an apparently discontent tone.

If his gaze had been more decent, his words might have sounded like those of a concerned colleague, yet as he spoke, his eyes were scanning Kikuchi Mika’s full chest, and his words came across as distasteful.

Lin Tian felt a bit dizzy. In a place like this, could there be any decent people? The slightly kind-hearted Kikuchi Mika already seemed like an exception.

Kikuchi Mika’s eyes flashed with disgust, but she dared not show it too clearly on her face. Instead, she bowed her head slightly and said, "Mr. Miyajima, the higher-ups have ordered an emergency cleanup of the lab, and we’re short on people, so I’ve been assigned as well."

"Oh, is that so? I’m actually short on fertilizer here, and was worrying about how to deal with it, and here you’ve brought it to me. These flowers and insects are Lord Gu’s treasures. If something goes wrong, we’re all going to suffer," Mr. Miyajima said with a contrived tone. Even so, his gaze still hadn’t left Kikuchi Mika’s body.

Kikuchi Mika didn’t answer him. She just lowered her head, carrying the stretcher as she passed by Mr. Miyajima. But as soon as she walked past him, Mr. Miyajima suddenly reached out toward her waist.

Damn, he’s truly a creep, about to lay his dirty hands on her in full view of the other ninjas, trying to take advantage of the young nurse, Lin Tian despised him a hundred times over.

He was considering whether or not to help Kikuchi Mika, especially since she had kindly warned him and the two others earlier. However, Kikuchi Mika herself stepped to the side, avoiding Mr. Miyajima’s wandering hand.

It turned out the young nurse was already on guard. It seemed that Mr. Miyajima’s reputation was not very good even within the shrine—not that anyone here had much of a reputation to speak of.

A flash of angry resentment crossed Mr. Miyajima’s eyes, but since others were present, he retracted his hand naturally, just giving a smile that Lin Tian found somewhat insincere and forced.

The poor nurse was probably in danger. Delicate and petite women sometimes incite men’s desires even more. In a place like this, once targeted by such people, she might dodge this time, but eventually, she’ll not be able to evade forever. Continuing to stay here, she would sooner or later fall into the hands of Mr. Miyajima; Lin Tian saw the situation very clearly.

In this secluded shrine, women with any semblance of beauty probably couldn’t maintain their integrity—not just those with beauty, but likely any woman would be harassed or even possessed by the leaders.

Kikuchi Mika was safe for now, partly because she was new and people couldn’t get a handle on her situation yet, and partly because she was working in the lab, doing data recording, which was relatively important.

But as time passed, other leaders would realize she was alone and without protection, and they would certainly take her for themselves; Mr. Miyajima was definitely one of them.

Kikuchi Mika must have sensed her predicament. After placing the stretcher down, she quickly pulled Lin Tian and hurried outside, eager to get away from Mr. Miyajima’s line of sight.

"Hold on," Mr. Miyajima suddenly said.

A look of fear flashed in Kikuchi Mika’s eyes. She could only stop, not daring to turn her head, and asked softly, "Is there something else, Mr. Miyajima? The task on our side is quite urgent."

Mr. Miyajima didn’t answer her, but looked at Lin Tian and the others, and said pretentiously, "You guys go ahead. The lab needs a batch of medicinal herbs soon. I need to discuss with Miss Meijia. Her job can be covered by anybody. Carrying corpses is a job that is more suitable for you ninjas, given its physical demands."

Wow, if he wants to take advantage, just say it straight; he makes his reasons sound so noble and righteous. Lin Tian thought himself shameless, but compared to Mr. Miyajima, he was nothing; the man was completely shameless.

If the young nurse stayed behind, it was obvious she would be taken to some room, stripped bare as a rabbit, and subjected to all sorts of violation by Mr. Miyajima.

"What are you standing around for? I told you to get out. If you delay Miss Meijia’s and my work, can you afford the responsibility?" Mr. Miyajima glared with his small eyes, putting on a righteous air as if he truly was concerned about the work.
