Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Baili Xueyuan ignored Lin Xin, not deigning to say even a single word to her.

The air abruptly twisted, and Baili Xueyuan vanished completely from sight.

Lin Qi immediately activated his Spiritual Vision, hoping to track Baili Xueyuan and deduce the nature of her Ability.

’My identity as a Wizard has been exposed anyway, and Baili Xueyuan has likely guessed I have a detection-type Ability. There’s no reason to hide it anymore. I can use it freely!’

Yet even with his Spiritual Vision covering a radius of a thousand meters, Lin Qi still couldn’t find any trace of Baili Xueyuan.

There were only two possibilities: either Baili Xueyuan’s Ability was so stealthy that even Spiritual Vision couldn’t detect it, or in that single instant, she had already left the thousand-meter radius around Lin Qi.

Lin Qi leaned toward the latter possibility. After all, the power of his Spiritual Vision was the very foundation of nearly all his Abilities.

’Lin Xin was right. Sister Li isn’t the only one protecting her. There’s a Tier Four hiding in the shadows.’

Although Lin Qi hadn’t found Baili Xueyuan, he did locate a Tier Four Extraordinary positioned above the Prosthetic Clinic—one without a single Prosthetic Body implant.

The man had knotted, bulging muscles and stood over two and a half meters tall. His clothing, however, was special, equipped with an optical camouflage effect.

It wasn’t just his clothes that were high-tech; he was also carrying a large number of technological gadgets.

The brands and models were unfamiliar. Lin Qi figured they were products from the Eastern Alliance.

Lin Qi retracted his gaze and stopped his probing.

’The Assassin Alliance won’t be a threat for the time being. As for matters in Red Fruit City, I just need to wait for the right opportunity.’

Lin Qi walked over to Liu Xuan, then turned to Lin Xin. "Take Liu Xuan upstairs to rest," he said. "She can stay in your room for now."

Lin Xin was still wondering why her teacher’s expression had changed so drastically, only snapping back to reality when she heard Lin Qi’s order.

Lin Xin’s eyes widened. "And me?"

Without missing a beat, Lin Qi laid out her options. "The sofa or the old man’s operating room. You pick."

Lin Xin’s eyes bulged. ’Lin Qi is the same damn jerk as always!’

’I’m getting the urge to pull out my dagger!’

’And with my recent increase in Extraordinary Level, I’m itching for a fight...’

’But that bastard Lin Qi’s whole Prosthetic Body is A-Class, and I’m only a Tier One Extraordinary. I’m probably not his match.’

Her expression flickered through several changes, her cheeks puffing out unconsciously.

A dagger, an Extraordinary Item, flashed in Lin Xin’s grip, appearing in her left hand one moment and teleporting to her right the next.

It was obvious that Lin Xin was not happy.

Liu Xuan, who had been sitting to the side, quickly interjected, "I can share a room with Lin Xin. I used to sleep with my own sister all the time when I was little."

Hearing Liu Xuan’s offer, Lin Xin’s smile returned, and the Extraordinary Item in her hand, the dagger, vanished with a flicker.

Lin Xin chirped, "Perfect! I’ll stay with my sister-in-law then. Sister Li, you can... rest in Dad’s room. Dad, you stay in Lin Qi’s room, and we’ll let Lin Qi sleep on the operating table!"

Lin Xin rapidly sorted everything out, not even forgetting Sister Li.

Sister Li quickly waved her hands in refusal. "I’ll be fine on the sofa. No need to go to any trouble."

As an elite of the Assassin Alliance, Sister Li was never picky about her surroundings.

A sofa was nothing; she had often spent entire days waiting in sewers.

Lin Qi wasn’t picky either.

’An operating table is still something you can lie on, after all.’

The conditions were still better than King Arthur’s usual haunt. At least Lin Qi didn’t have to live in a sewer year in and year out.

They stopped fussing over the sleeping arrangements. The Prosthetic Clinic was more than large enough for five people.

He first nodded to Liu Xuan, then looked at Doctor Lin. "Dad, come give me a hand."

Lin Qi called the old man over, grabbed a storage case, and prepared to head to the workshop.

Seeing the case in Lin Qi’s hands, Doctor Lin had a good idea of what his son was up to and silently followed.

The father and son headed down the stairs to the basement floor.

Meanwhile, Lin Xin led Liu Xuan and Sister Li to the second floor of the Prosthetic Clinic, the Lin Family’s living quarters.

...

In Lin Qi’s workshop, the father and son entered, and Lin Qi immediately opened the case.

Laid out inside were the Prosthetic Body parts and weapons he had brought from the villa at Number 8 Fortress Road.

"Dad, they’re all yours."

Lin Qi needed the old man’s help to install the Prosthetic Body parts.

These were all top-tier, A-Class Prosthetic Body components for a full-body conversion, making them nearly impossible to install by oneself.

Although Lin Qi could use his Splitting ability to create malformed assistants for the procedure, he had just been interrogated by Baili Xueyuan. He didn’t want to expose any more of his Abilities.

Baili Xueyuan’s Abilities were still a mystery, and Lin Qi had no way of knowing if she could somehow observe what was happening here.

The old man’s eyes lit up with passion when he saw the prosthetics. "A full A-Class Prosthetic Body set? This model has to be a laboratory prototype, right?"

"Damn, your old man has been getting so bored installing all those Divine Iron Bulls. Finally, some top-of-the-line prosthetics to sink my teeth into!"

Unlike Lin Qi, the old man was genuinely passionate about Prosthetic Bodies.

He didn’t know why Lin Qi was acting out of character and outsourcing the installation to him, but between a father and son, you don’t ask too many questions.

’Since my son asked for a favor, I should just help him if I can!’

Lin Qi had complete trust in the old man, so he lay right down on the operating table.

"It’s been a while since I installed such high-end prosthetics. My hands are a little rusty. Good thing you’re family, I’ll use this as a warm-up!"

Lin Qi had just settled onto the table when he heard the old man muttering to himself, and his face instantly fell.
