Chapter 690: Chapter 687: The Fate of the Little Nurse

"Who?" Lin Tian let out in a low cry, whirling around to look behind him, but he saw nothing.

All around were densely packed, pitch-black coffins, which under the light, emitted an eerie, faint glow. The stone sarcophagus on the altar was opened, empty inside, devoid of anything.

With Lin Tian’s hearing, he actually couldn’t discern where the calling voice was coming from—it seemed to be the stone sarcophagus, yet it also seemed to come from the dark coffins surrounding him.

Lin Tian’s gaze swept around, trying to spot anything out of the ordinary, but he saw no anomalies, and the calling voice did not reappear. It was as if what had happened was just an illusion.

By now, Ning Luoxi and the other two women had already left the cave, and Lin Tian was standing inside alone, facing the dense coffins and the strange voice. Were it not for his courage and skill, had it been Zhou Botong instead, Lin Tian reckoned he would have been scared out of his wits by now.

Lin Tian waited for a dozen seconds, and seeing that the calling voice did not sound again, he turned to leave once more. This time, he listened carefully to the sounds around him as he walked. Just as he was about to reach the entrance to the passageway, the calling voice rang out again!

"Young man..."

The voice came over in a ghostly whisper, and Lin Tian spun around swiftly, his gaze fixed intently on that stone sarcophagus.

He had clearly heard it just now, the call had indeed come from the sarcophagus, but when he looked at it, the sarcophagus remained as before, empty inside, and even the gold foil on the inner walls had been torn off by Lin Tian—there was nothing that could produce sound, not even a shadow.

"Damn it, who’s playing tricks here, show yourself," Lin Tian called out in a deep voice.

His voice echoed inside the burial place, as if countless coffins were emitting ghostly cries, creating an atmosphere of eerie tension. Besides that, no one responded to his words.

Your grandpa’s ghost, I must be seeing ghosts tonight, I can hear the voice, but can’t see anyone, whether human or ghost, just show yourself already, Lin Tian thought irritably.

Whether it was a human or a ghost, Lin Tian was not afraid. To toy with him like this, if it were a person, Lin Tian wouldn’t mind sending them to join the ghosts; if it were a ghost, he didn’t mind killing it again.

The problem was, without any target to focus on, no matter how much frustration Lin Tian felt, it was useless.

"Lin Tian, aren’t you coming out yet? What are you doing in there?" Ning Luoxi’s urging voice came from outside the passage.

Lin Tian was puzzled now; it seemed that only he could hear that calling voice. The three women outside had no reaction whatsoever, which was evident from what Ning Luoxi had just said.

"Alright, I’m coming," Lin Tian replied loudly to Ning Luoxi, shouting so loudly for another purpose too—to see if he could lure out whatever was making the calling voice.

Indeed, Lin Tian referred to it as "something," since he couldn’t tell whether it was human or ghost.

Unfortunately, still nothing responded, and Lin Tian, impatiently spitting out a mouthful of saliva, turned and left immediately, deciding to ignore the strange voice. Just as he stepped onto the passageway, that annoying voice rang out once again.

"Pull out that stone sword..."

This time the voice was finally different; it no longer called out to him, but instructed Lin Tian to pull out the stone sword behind the sarcophagus.

"Pull out your grandpa!" Lin Tian cursed out loud, thoroughly annoyed by the weird voice. He entered the passageway without any hesitation and left the burial ground.

He couldn’t possibly really go and pull out the stone sword. Earlier, due to curiosity, he had drawn the Demon Blade and was enchanted by its path, controlled by it. If it happened again, Lin Tian would be out of places to cry.

Lin Tian wasn’t afraid of danger for himself. Right now, Ghost and Thunder Wolf’s group were all outside, and he didn’t want to bring danger to his brothers because of a moment’s curiosity.

Although they were excellent marksmen and agile, they were unable to protect themselves in this kind of place, unlike Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl, who at least wouldn’t be in life-threatening danger.

After he left, the burial ground quieted down, the calling voice no longer sounded, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Lin Tian, what did you just say? Were you talking to someone?" Ning Luoxi looked at Lin Tian who had come out and asked curiously.

Lin Tian had shouted so loudly just now that, with the hearing ability of Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl, they certainly could hear it.

"Nope, just talking to myself," Lin Tian purposely said, not intending to reveal what had just happened.

The two women were puzzled, but since Lin Tian didn’t want to talk, they couldn’t do much about it and simply continued walking out. Returning the same way, the group of four emerged from underneath the statue in the shrine. It was still night outside, with only the moonlight and the lights illuminating the entire shrine.

But the shrine was not peaceful at this time, as Lin Tian had already heard the noise of a helicopter echoing above the shrine.

"The transport helicopter has arrived, it’s time to get ready to leave," Ning Luoxi said.

Lin Tian nodded but then stood still, turning back to look seriously at Kikuchi Mika, "Lady Kikuchi, with the affairs of the shrine settled, we’re preparing to leave. What are your plans?"

The nurse was not his captive, and Lin Tian respected her wishes. If she wanted to leave, Lin Tian would not stop her. After all, they couldn’t stay at the shrine anymore.

"Wherever Brother Lin goes, I will go," Kikuchi Mika said pitifully, looking at Lin Tian. Although her words were somewhat frail, they were incredibly firm.

Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl didn’t speak and looked at Lin Tian to see how he would handle the situation.

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Lady Kikuchi, I think you may not fully understand what I’m saying. When I say ’leave’, I don’t just mean leaving the shrine. Soon after, I will leave Japan to return to Huaxia. As you know, I am a Huaxia person and can’t stay in Japan to take care of you forever."

"I can leave Japan as well. I have nothing now and no place to call home. I can follow Brother Lin to Huaxia. I have studied medical nursing and you could let me be your personal nurse, or even a maid is fine. Just let me follow you," Kikuchi Mika said somewhat humbly, her demeanor evoking sympathy.

A personal nurse, huh, that’s not a bad suggestion, Lin Tian thought to himself as he glanced over her nurse’s uniform.

The nurse was wearing a form-fitting uniform, her figure was delicately petite, typical of Japanese women, yet endowed with the full and lofty chest of Japanese women, literally like a line written on her face, ’The temptation of a uniform!’ indeed a nurse’s uniform that made men’s thoughts wild.

"But... you’re Japanese, you can’t stay in Huaxia for long, and besides, I’m in perfect health, I don’t need a personal nurse. And these days, there’s no such thing as maids," Lin Tian tried to dissuade her, truthfully, he wasn’t used to having a woman constantly following him around.

"Lin Tian, if you don’t take her in and let her stay in Japan, there’s only one end for her - a dead end. The Sun Shadow Association will not let her go," the Heavenly Master Girl said, frowning slightly, and Ning Luoxi wore the same expression, as if condemning Lin Tian’s heartlessness.

Damn, you women are really hard to understand. If I take her in, you call me a pervert, and if I don’t, you say I’m heartless. Is it easy for me to be a good man? Lin Tian thought, quite speechlessly.
