Super Detective in the Fictional World

Anyone else would’ve begged for painkillers for such an injury, but this officer was still smiling calmly.

No wonder he could become a detective of the Major Crimes Division at such a young age.

The nurse said gently, “Do you need anything? Does the wound hurt?”

Luke shook his head with a smile. “No, I’m fine. You can go back to your work. There’s no need to waste time on me.”

The nurse nodded. “Press the button if you need anything. You know how to use it, right?” She pointed at a red button at the head of the bed.

Luke said, “Thank you for the reminder. I’ll use it if I need to.”

After the nurse left, Luke looked at the cot and said, “Don’t pretend to be sleeping when you’re awake. Don’t you know what can happen if you sleep too much?”

Selina yawned and sat up. “I was just afraid that I’d be a third wheel if you started hitting on the nurse.”

Luke sat on the bed and sniffed her. “Well, you smell great now.”

Selina gloated. “Haha, I’ve taken a shower. Who’s the one who smells like sh*t now?”

Luke said helplessly, “Me, of course. It’s your turn to help me.”

Selina was shocked. “Huh? What do you want?”

Luke rolled his eyes. “Cover my left arm with the plastic film over there. I need to take a shower.”

Selina found it odd. “Huh? Shouldn’t you be asking me to help you take a shower? You only have one hand anyway.”

Luke raised his fist. “Do you believe I can make you beg with one hand?”

Selina said quickly, “I do.”

As they made fun of each other, Selina helped Luke cover his left arm.

It wasn’t a bathtub, anyway. He only needed to avoid getting his left arm wet.

However, after Selina adjusted the water temperature, she turned around and asked again, “You really don’t need my help? I actually don’t mind.”

Luke said, “Hehe, but I do.”

Selina sniffed and left.

She was actually angry about that.

After they started renting a place together, Luke had seen her come out of the shower many times, but she hardly ever saw the same of him.

That was mostly because Luke was always wearing shorts and a T-shirt when he came out, and he barely exposed anything.

Selina, on the other hand, always came out in a bath towel. It was inevitable that some parts of her body would be exposed now and then. Sometimes, Luke even mocked her for it.

She had thought it would be a good chance to get back at Luke now that he was injured, but her plan hadn’t worked out.

Can’t you be a little more vulnerable? she secretly mumbled.

After knowing him for a few months, she knew that Luke was a man who seemed gentle but was actually cold.

He was courteous to most people, but there were few that he really cared about.

Fortunately, she was certain that she was one of them.

Ten minutes later, Luke came out, all clean, but his upper body was bare.

Eyes glowing, Selina touched his abs and remarked, “Wow, you’re a lot stronger since the last time I saw you naked. You’ve finally decided to show off your abs today?”

Luke was amused. “If I may ask, can any of the clothes you brought me be put on with one hand?”

Selina was embarrassed when she looked at Luke’s left arm in the thick cast. “Sorry, I didn’t think about that. No, wait, what clothes can you possibly put on with one hand?”

Frowning, Luke thought for a moment, and could only shake his head. “I don’t think there are any.”

Selina said, “And you’re blaming me?”

Luke said helplessly, “Alright, that was my mistake. I guess I can only cover myself with a shirt first.”

Helping Luke put on a shirt, Selina finally complained, “One of the nasty players pinched my butt. I didn’t realize it until last night, when I took a shower. The bruise is still there.”

Luke said calmly, “It’s fine. I guarantee they’ll be crippled for life if they ever touch you again.”

Gritting her teeth, Selina loosened her belt and showed him her hip. “Look, I’m sure it was a man who hasn’t touched a woman in eight lives.”

There were in fact two almost symmetrical spots on her dark skin, one on each side. Luke could even vaguely make out the shape of fingerprints.

He nodded solemnly. “…Well, it’s possible.” In fact, it had only been three months.Read more chapter on AllNovel

Selina, however, thought of something else. “Huh, did you pinch my butt last night? Why do I feel that it hurts on both sides?”

Luke said in confusion, “Did I? I don’t remember anything. I was dizzy from the drug.”

Selina frowned and thought for a moment, but her memory was fuzzy from the drug, and she had to drop it reluctantly.

However, she still threw around curses like “If I find out who did this, I’ll chop off his hand… no, both his hands.”

Luke was amused.

As they were having breakfast and the Dr. Pepper which Selina had bought, Thomas opened the door.

A detective came with him but didn’t enter. He stayed outside the room.

Luke and Selina both stood up and saluted Thomas.

Although it seemed unnecessary, Luke felt that he wasn’t close enough to Thomas yet that he could omit the formalities.

Thomas waved his hand and said, “Alright, let’s sit down.”

They sat down on the couch. Thomas asked, “How’s your arm? Nothing serious?”

Luke nodded. “No. It should be fine in a while.”

Thomas stared at him for a moment without saying anything. He then nodded. “I’m here to tell you about the case.”

Luke and Selina didn’t say anything, and only listened carefully.

After Thomas laid the case out, they finally realized how big it was.

The host and some other players had been slain by the monsters, while Luke had killed another batch of senior players by the lake. Only six of them had survived, but two had severe brain concussions and might never wake up again.

Only the four lackeys on Asel’s side, including Gus, had woken up.

Naturally, those four were crippled for the rest of their lives. Gus, for one, was paralyzed.

Thanks to the pain that Luke had caused them, the lackeys barely put up any resistance during the FBI’s interrogation, and soon confessed everything.

What Gus told the FBI was appalling.

They had been doing this for years. What started out as a handful of people had developed into a secret club.

There were more than ten victims that Gus had sent to the players, not including this particular time.
