Chapter 121: Hey, donât tell me I guessed right!
Ethan fought the urge to immediately use his skill, Void Dick, deciding to wait until she turned around.
Otherwise, if Abigaile suddenly saw a 10-inch dick appear out of thin air, sheâd probably faint from shock.
âAbby, youâre a celebrity, right? Why do you seem so free?â
âI donât have any gigs lately.â Abigaile sat down by the hospital bed, set down some fruit, and picked up an apple to peel. âFighting tooth and nail for those opportunities, dealing with all the insinuations and the unspoken rules, itâs just easier to hang out here with you.â
âOh, got it, youâre just letting things slide.â Ethan watched her finish peeling the apple and reached out to take it.
Abigaile casually popped the apple into her mouth instead: âYeah, so got anything fun planned for today?â
âThere arenât that many bizarre incidents to chase after.â Ethan casually withdrew his hand and started peeling another apple for himself.
âOh, thatâs a shame.â Abigaile bit into her apple, her gaze drifting elsewhere.
Ethan could tell she wasnât really here to get involved in any peculiar cases,she just wanted a place to hide away and zone out.
Itâs a common feeling, wanting to escape, finding a spot away from your usual social circles.
But Ethan wasnât the least bit interested in exploring the inner world of a celebrity. He wasnât one of those tender-hearted anime protagonists.
The two of them chatted sporadically.
Today, Abigaile was dressed very casually, almost homely, a stark contrast to the extravagant cosplay outfits sheâd worn before.
Of course, with her looks and figure, even in plain clothes, she was still a sight for sore eyes.
Her pleated skirt swayed as she crossed her legs, giving off a girl-next-door vibe.
âDing ding ding.â
The tranquility was broken by the sound of a phone ringing.
Abigaile pulled out her phone, her expression complex as she saw the caller ID, and turned away to answer, âIâm not at the office, sorry. Iâm at the hospital visiting a friend, yes, the same guy you met last time. Ah, no need, Iâll drive myself. Around noon.â
As she turned away, Ethan knew his chance to test his skill had come.
It wasnât that he was perverted.
But he needed to fully understand the mechanics before he could master the skill.
He silently invoked, âVoid Dick.â
In the next instant, he felt his pants go empty.
But Ethan still felt the sensation, as if it was in some strange space.
âIt really works!â Ethan leaned back slightly.
With her back to him, the fabric of Abigaileâs pleated skirt at her thighs bulged slightly, as if something was pushing against it from inside.
Ethan experimented with the skill, subtly shifting his hips, only feeling the fabric and its unusual softness.
âWhat?!!â Abigaile screamed sharply, clamping her legs together, dropping her phone, and turning around in panic, her hand pressing down on her skirt.
She saw Ethan on the hospital bed about 5 feet away from her, clearly startled.
Ethan looked concerned, âAbby, is something wrong?â
Abigaile looked around,sunlight streamed in through the hospital windows, and the sound of nurses walking could be heard outside.
In broad daylight, it wasnât the kind of setting that made you think of ghosts.
âItâs nothing.â
She felt as if she had trapped something thick and hard between her legs, but now there was nothing there. It must have been an illusion.
Abigaile turned back around and continued her phone call, âItâs nothing, I just accidentally bumped into a table.â
That strange sensation hit her again in an instant.
â?â Abigaile quickly jumped away, and just like before, it felt as if her skin had touched something hard, and then it suddenly disappeared.
Turning her head, Ethan was casually lying on the bed playing with his phone.
This time, Abigaile turned to face him while on the phone.
But this time, the sensation moved from the inside of her thigh to the front, which was even more embarrassing.
Abigaile quickly covered her skirt with her hands, but again, she caught nothing.
Ethan had figured out the mechanism,he could retract the skill within a second.
Using the skill consumed some energy, and after using it three times, he felt noticeably tired.
While the skill was active, it used less energy.
âAbby, whatâs up with your voice?â Felix sounded worried.
âOh, itâs nothing, just a bit of a cold,â Abigaile quickly responded.
âOh?â Felix sounded uncertain.
Ethan took advantage of her distraction to use his skill again. With the experience from the previous attempts, he got the positioning just right this time.
âMmm?â Abigaile let out a low, ambiguous moan.
âWhatâs wrong!â Felix exclaimed.
Ethan immediately retracted the skill, fearing he couldnât control himself.
He also realized the importance of another skill, Dick Control. Without it, he could only nudge against his underwear.
Of course, he could go all out and create a real spectacle, but that would just turn into a ghost story.
Abigaile hung up the phone and stood still for a while, looking puzzled and cautious as she approached.
âAbby,â Ethan tilted his head, looking perplexed, âyou seem really off today.â
âItâs⦠itâs nothing.â Abigaile quickly regained her composure as the strange sensation disappeared.
In broad daylight, it really couldnât be related to ghosts.
âLetâs go for a walk,â Ethan suggested, pointing outside where the sun was shining brightly.
âSure.â Abigaile put on her sunglasses, eager for some sunlight.
The two left the hospital room one after the other.
Ethan felt the skill wasnât very practical. Not being able to become invisible was a major drawback, and there was still the issue of the underwear unless he combined it with another skill.
Because his waist had to move with his body, if someone saw him thrusting, theyâd think he was a pervert.
The only use he could think of was on a crowded train, where peopleâs attention wasnât on him, and the victims wouldnât dare to scream out loud. That would be truly perverse.
They reached the hospital lawn, which was always set aside for sunbathing.
âWas that Mr. Felix on the phone just now?â Ethan, noticing Abigaileâs unusual demeanor, initiated a conversation.
Abigaile relaxed as the warm sunlight hit her face: âYeah, it was him.â
âWhy do you seem so troubled, Abby?â Ethan asked, his gaze wandering across the lawn, hoping to spot some patients who looked like they were about to keel over.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Abigaile didnât answer immediately, her hands clasped behind her back: âKid, donât try to act all grown-up.â
âLet me guess,â Ethan said offhandedly. âIs it because Abby doesnât like him, or maybe sees him more like a brother? Thatâs how they always play it out on TV shows.â
He had just finished speaking when he noticed Abigaileâs peculiar expression.
âHey, donât tell me I guessed right!â Ethan chuckled.
âWhatever.â Abigaile shrugged. âYou should watch fewer melodramatic series. Love is just about two people who click coming together. The whole âseeing him as a brotherâ thing is just an excuse for some women to keep their options open while still taking advantage of what theyâve got.â
As they were talking, a voice hurriedly approached.
âFelix?â Ethan was startled.
