The light from the early sunrise slipped through the window of a room. The trail of light slowly made its way to the bed of the room. It then finally landed on a man's face. His eyelids slowly opened up and revealed those two black eyes to see the world.

Rubbing his eyes, the man yawned.

It was rare for him to get a good night's sleep so for him being able to have a quiet night's sleep was something he treasured with his soul.

Lin Ye pushed himself up to sit on his bed. He was too tired to change so he just slept in the same clothes that he had on himself last night. He glanced to his side to see his phone just on the desk next to the bed. On it, he saw it was a bit early so he might use this chance to freshen himself up a bit before anything.

With that thought in his mind, Lin Ye was about to push himself off the bed and go to the bathroom.

That was what he was about to do but he was stopped when he felt something tightening around his waist.

Lin Ye raised a brow at his waist which was covered by a blanket. He stared at it for a while and saw something moving under it.

Then he heard something whining.

"Gege, turn off the light. It's still early!"

Lin Ye slowly had a smirk on his face. Even before he moved the blanket away from him, he knew who was under it.

Tossing the blanket to the side, Lin Ye saw Nian snaking her arms around his torso as she was still sleeping on his bed.

With her jacket now gone, Lin Ye was able to see her smooth shoulder.

His face softened at the sleeping state of his little sister. Although he already told her to sleep in her own room, Nian was very vocal about not doing that. For the best of all residents of this building, Lin Ye chose to let her do anything she wanted at the moment.

He wanted to let her sleep for some more, but he needed to get up and being chained by a dragon was something he needed to get through first to be able to do that.

Lin Ye lightly nudged Nian's shoulder.

"Nian, wake up," Lin Ye said in a gentle tone, "It's morning."

This only made Nian bury herself deeper into his stomach.

"Ten more years," She muttered.

Lin Ye laughed at this as he ran his hand through her hair.

It seemed that negotiating with a sleepy dragon was really hard.

Blaze exited her room.

As she was making her way into the living room, she noticed the slight aroma in the air. As she followed the smell, she was greeted with the sight of three boys sitting at the dining table in her room.

She walked towards the leader of the group.

"Steward?" She called him, "What is going on here? Why are you in my room?"

"Ah, Blaze," The Vulpo nodded at her, "Doctor offered to cook something for us."

"Cook?" She raised a brow at this.

She then heard the sound of something frying. Blaze turned her head and saw that the Doctor was cooking something with Nian helping him.

"Nian, get the flour for me."

"Sure."

"… Nian."

"Yes!"

"Did you put another ghost pepper in it?"

"…"

"…"

"We're making Jianbing, Nian. It's a pancake. It's savoury. Not spicy."

"But the soul!"

"… Just brush the oil on the pan."

The frustrated sigh of the Doctor echoed in the room that was followed by a laugh from the other person.

As the others watched the two of them cooking, mostly Doctor while Nian helped him, they noticed there was a warm atmosphere in the kitchen.

Blaze looked away from the two and looked at Ansel.

"How did he get all the ingredients?" She asked him.

"Based on what he told us before he came back, Doctor asked for the staff of the hotels to prepare some for him to use the next day," Ansel explained, "He messaged us if we wanted some breakfast because he woke up early and was ready to make some food."

"I did not know that the Doctor knew how to cook," Adnachiel said, "I thought we needed to go to the restaurant below."

"Blaze," Lin Ye called the feline, "Do you want to join us? I am almost done with the food."

He said this while flipping over a pancake.

"Woah! How did you do that?!" Nian then leaned closer to him, "Can I do one?"

They could hear him laughing.

"Sure, just let me finish this one first."

Blaze thought about this and ultimately decided to accept.

"Sure," Blaze walked to a chair and sat on it. She placed her elbow on the table and rested his head on her hand, glancing at the Doctor, "I am curious what the Doctor could make."

Lin Ye chuckled as he flipped another pancake in his pan, making Nian's eyes twinkle in glee.

"Please be kind," He hummed as he brushed some of the sauce on the pancake, "I am decent at most."

The Doctor cracked an egg on the pan and then the batter. He stepped to the side.

"Here Nian," Lin Ye offered Nian the spatula, "You try it."

Nian did not need to be told twice and she stood in front of the pan.

"So first, peeled the side."

She did what he told her.

"Scup from the under."

Lin ye smiled as she did it. Nian stared up at him in expectation.

"Now?" She eagerly asked him.

"Gently now, don't want a hole in the ceiling, do we?" Lin Ye warned. Then his face softened into a smile, "Now."

With a fluid motion, the pancake flew from the pan and landed back on it gracefully.

"I did it Gege!" Nian spun around and stared at him, "Did you see that?!"

Lin ye smiled at how excited she was now.

"I sure did," Lin ye then raised his hand to her, "High 5?"

Nian slammed her hand into his.

As the two of them were in their own world, the rest of them stared at them.

Blaze leaned in closer to Ansel.

"What is their relationship really?" She whispered this question at him, "They seem close."

Ansel shrugged at her.

"Based on what he told me they are just siblings," He sighed, "But I feel that the only one who thinks that is the Doctor."

Blaze looked back at Nian and finally noticed how she was staring at the Doctor. Her eyes never left him.

The Doctor was now coming to the table with a stack of pancakes on a tray with Nian not far behind him who had two bowls of sauces in her hands. They both placed the food on the table.

"Here you go," Lin ye pulled a chair out and sat on it, "Jianbing and there are two sauces that you can use. But please be careful, the brighter one is a bit spicy."

Lin Ye gave each of them a serving of the food.

Blaze had to admit, this did look appetizing to look at. It was different from what she considered a pancake, but she was fine with trying new things.

At the same time, the four of them took a bite from the food.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Blaze hated how delicious it was.

After eating their food, and putting their plates in the sink, they all gathered at the dining table.

"I'm glad you liked it," Lin ye smiled at the group, "If you want us to make more, the ingredients are all in the fridge."

"Thank you, Doctor," Stewards thanked him with a smile, "You're a really good cook."

"I have an amazing teacher," Lin ye dismissed his gratitude, "I am just copying them."

"I have to agree with him, Doctor," Blaze suddenly said, "Your food is really good. Especially your sauce. Not many sauces can make me sweat."

Lin Ye chuckled at her.

"I did not do that," Lin ye pointed at Nian who was sitting beside him, "That was all Nian's doing."

The dragon in question smiled at his praise.

"I told you Gege," She puffed her chest at him, "The spicier it is, the better."

Lin Ye chuckled at this.

"Okay, okay. You were right," Lin Ye admitted with a smile, "But enough of that. Let's focus on why we are here now."

Just like that, the Doctor's whole demeanour changed. An air of seriousness floated around him even when he still had a smile on his face. This made the people at the table subconsciously straighten their backs.

Seeing that they were all ready, Lin Ye started.

"So first, the place I will discuss is at the main church of Laterano where the Pope resides, the headquarters of the Lateran Church. The Basilica," Lin Ye explained, "Although that is the case the person that I will be meeting is not a Pope, sadly enough. Just representative. Kieran, he is a Legatus."

Lin Ye then glanced at Blaze.

"You do know that place might be a bit troublesome for you."

"I know," Blaze grimly nodded, "They don't allow Infected to go into that building."

Hearing this from her, the Doctor leaned back on his chair and nodded at her.

"You're correct," He replied, "I know most of you are Infected too. So, with that, I and Nian will be the only one that will go there. The rest, you should stay outside of the church just in case anything happens to me inside."

Steward's group and Blaze conflictingly nodded at his statement. However, Blaze realized something.

"Doctor, how are you able to know that we were Infected?" Her eyes narrowed as she asked to him, "Not even most operators know I was an Infected without me telling them that."

Stewards and Adnachiel realized this too and looked at him, waiting for his answer. Ansel did not seem to be interested in this topic because he already knew the answer.

Lin Ye smiled at how curious they were now.

"Let's just say being the Doctor has its benefits," Lin Ye said.

{Rhodes Island's Psychologist}

With him acting as the Doctor today, Lin ye needed to wear the black lab coat of the Doctor. He also needed to cover his face with his hood and mask on.

The church was not far from where they were staying, it was just a few walks away from them in fact. Like most buildings in this city, it looked like it was made completely from marble with how white it was. It was also big. Like the front door was a wall rather than a door if Lin Ye was being honest with himself.

Blaze and the rest were to wait for him outside of the church while Nian would be the only one that followed him inside the building.

Lin Ye and Nian walked through the huge door. As he was going deeper into the building, he looked around it.

Although he had never been in a Church before, Lin Ye had to say it was a beautiful place to be in. The stained-glass windows made the light passing through them look pleasing to look at. Rows of benches were in the hall.

He noticed there were a lot of statues in the church. Lin Ye raised a brow at them.

Although beautiful, he thought that carrying firearms was not something a church in his old world would do. Still beautiful, nonetheless. So who was he to criticise their choice of decors?

As they got deeper into the building, Lin Ye noticed someone at the end of the hall. The person was wearing a black robe to cover their body. However, he still knew this man was a Sankta with how there were wings and a halo floating around him. He was standing on top of an altar and behind him were two things that caught his eye.

The first was a large stained-glass window. On it, Lin Ye noticed there was an image of someone wearing a hood with a bright halo behind him There were also three guns floating around him.

The second thing was a marble statue of a Sankta wearing a robe with a cross behind him. Lin ye also saw at the three ends of the top cross there were three guns.

He was noticing a trend here.

Something must be related to the three guns.

Something important for Laterano.

Unfortunately, Lin Ye did not have time to ponder on this topic as he stood in front of the robed figure.

"Is it safe to say that you're Kieran?" His voice was muffled because of his mask.

Rather than answering him, the man pulled down his hood and revealed an elder man in front of him.

His brown hair had some greys in them, and his halo was floating above him.

"That is me," The man replied with a smile as he walked down the altar to stand in front of Lin Ye, "You must be the Doctor of Rhodes Island."

It was Lin Ye's turn to pull down his hood and reveal his face to him.

"My name is Lin Ye," He held out his hand to the man, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mister Kieran."

Just as Kieran was about to shake his hand, Nian said something.

"Your time is getting near, little Angel."

This caught both of their attention to her.

The Sankta faced her as he raised a brow.

"What do you mean Miss?" He asked in a strict tone.

Nian was not bothered by this. In fact, she seemed amused at his attempt to intimidate her.

"It means you're about to die."
