"Mr Lin. You are very early today." Outside the control room, a girl with purple hair and devil-like horns smiles and opens the door for Lin Yie, 

"We haven't even called you. Sister Nightingale hasn't gotten up yet."

Lin Yie sighs, "I really don't want to be late to my work this time, so I came here early. Anyway, hi, Hibiscus."

Hibiscus is one of the medical staff here in Rhodes Island, and she is responsible for Nightingale's treatment. 

Yesterday, it was her who deceived Lin Yie on the phone with an urgent tone like heaven was about to collapse, which made Lin Yie hurry over... Alright, the word "deceived" is not that appropriate here. 

At the moment, other than Lin Yie, even Shining could not approach Nightingale. Lin Yie gave this some thought. Since nothing happened yesterday, the medical staff would probably leave Nightingale to him today as well. Rather than waiting for their call, he got up early and came on his own.

It is not even dawn yet, which makes Lin Yie think he is back to his life in Chernobog, because he hasn't gotten that many chances to sleep in after coming to this world. Life is not easy here for him.

But more importantly, his sleep quality has been pretty bad. 

Some rabbit has ground his teeth for three days in a row. Last night, Lin Yie stuffed some cotton balls into his ears, and barely managed to sleep, and it was very uncomfortable.

(Ugh, when can I get a new roommate? No offense Ansel but I need my sleep.)

Lin Yie thinks while following Hibiscus inside the room.

As he looks at her back, Lin Yie suddenly remembers something, "Hibiscus, are you also a Sarkaz?"

"Yep." Hibiscus skips around, "I am also a devil."

"... Do devils love being doctors?"

"Not everyone. My sister is a caster for example." Hibiscus sticks her tongue out playfully and chuckles, 

"I chose to be a doctor because I don't have the talent my sister has. Actually, we came here for treatment, but I found out my ability could help others, and I was very happy. Same for my sister as well. She thought saving others is pretty cool."

Lin Yie nods while trying to protect his eyes from how bright she is now..

(Goddamn it. She is so bright!! The devils here dream about "world peace." If devils are so benevolent, aren't angels the symbols of perfection then?)

Lin Yie can't help but feel curious about the Sankta's.

Hibiscus brings Lin Yie to Nightingale's room and stops in front of the door.

"Sister Nightingale is still sleeping." Hibiscus asks, "Are you going to wake her up?"

"I guess I will wait outside then."
