"bite"
Almost immediately after Kikyo's Judgment Squad finished breakfast, Kikyo's cell phone, which was on the table, rang.
Kikyo, the magician, glanced at the number; it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Hello, I am a staff member from the Security Bureau. We are preparing to bury the Violet Mage at the Yeqiu City Cemetery in three days... Our captain asked me to tell you that there have been some problems with the investigation at the Yeqiu City Comprehensive District Hospital. All medical records related to Mr. Bai Yuzhe have been destroyed."
"Okay, thank you."
As Kikyo, the magician, hung up the phone, the members of Kikyo's Judgment Squad beside her all turned to look at her.
Even Bai Youqing's eyes gleamed.
From the few words they had just heard, they gleaned crucial information: a grand funeral ceremony was being prepared for Sister Violet.
"Why don't you relax at home today? Tomorrow I'll take you out for a walk, and on the third day I'll take you to the Violet Mage's funeral. Do you have any questions about the arrangements for these three days?"
"no."
"Okay, Xiaoqing, come with me for a bit later."
"Um."
Bai Youqing nodded expressionlessly. She didn't understand where the Kikyo magician was going to take her, and even if she did, she didn't care.
At this moment, she was like a broken doll, aimlessly following the Kikyo magician out of the neighborhood. She watched as the other person canceled the transformation and turned into the familiar Hoshino-sensei. The other person patted her head and then led her to the Yeqiu City Comprehensive District Hospital, into a corridor of an outpatient room.
Looking through the glass, a doctor wearing black-rimmed glasses was talking to a patient, and it seemed that they would have to wait a while longer.
Hoshino Seri led Bai Youqing to a chair nearby and said softly, "Youqing, did you know that Teacher Bai once came to Yeqiu City Hospital for a medical check-up?"
Bai Youqing shook her head. There were many things about her brother that she, as his sister, knew nothing about, and he never told her.
It's possible he was afraid she'd worry, or perhaps in his brother's eyes he saw her as a useless burden.
Unconsciously, Bai Youqing tightened her body and hugged herself tightly, as if trying to comfort herself in this posture.
Seeing the other person's expression, Hoshino Seri gently rubbed Bai Youqing's head with her warm palm and said slowly, "Don't overthink it. The reason why Teacher Bai didn't tell you is because your brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the hospital. According to the doctor's assessment, Teacher Bai may only have about a year left to live."
"?"
Bai Youqing immediately raised her head, her eyes wide open.
Click! At that moment, the door opened, and the patient in the ward left.
The doctor's gaze swept over the people in the corridor, finally settling on Hoshino Ranri. He asked somewhat uncertainly, "Hello, are you the Ms. Hoshino that Captain Peng mentioned?"
"Um."
Hoshino Seri nodded and led Bai Youqing into the clinic.
The surrounding citizens couldn't help but sigh when they saw Hoshino Seri leading the young girl Shiro Yuqing inside. At such a young age, she was suffering from such a terrible disease.
Hey~
After entering the consultation room, the doctor carefully closed the door before looking at Hoshino Seri with a serious expression: "Ms. Hoshino Seri, hello, you can call me Dr. Peng. Since Mr. Bai specifically instructed me beforehand that his medical records need to be kept private, even if you are Mr. Bai's partner, I need to confirm whether you are sure that you have the legal qualifications to obtain Mr. Bai's medical records."
Hoshino Ranri was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I already have Professor Shiro's medical records. Actually, I came here this time just to confirm his condition again. Is it really that bad?"
Hoshino Lanli took out Bai Yuze's medical report and slowly looked at Dr. Peng.
"That's true."
Dr. Peng looked at the medical record sheet that Hoshino Seri had taken out, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded.
"OK, thanks."
Hoshino Seri slowly withdrew her gaze from Dr. Peng and led Bai Youqing out of the clinic.
For some reason, she always felt that the other person wasn't telling the truth.
Especially when the other party saw that I had taken out that report, their eyes suddenly changed, and a flash of fear crossed their eyes.
Keeping this question in mind, Hoshino Seri looked at Bai Youqing. The main reason she brought her here was to try to reduce her guilt as much as possible.
But when she looked down, she found that the other person's gaze was fixed on her ring finger.
Hoshino Seri smiled and patted Bai Youqing's head again. "This is a little gift that Teacher Bai carefully prepared for me. Although your brother is no longer here, you still have Hoshino-neechan. If you feel uncomfortable about anything, you can tell me."
Bai Youqing seemed to want to say something, but her throat felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Hoshino Seri's gentle and tolerant gaze. The guilt in her heart was like a heavy shackle, making it extremely difficult for her to speak each time.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her hands nervously twisting together; every subtle movement revealed her inner struggle and torment.
But in the end, she didn't say anything. She just held onto Hoshino Seri's hand tightly, like a drowning person grabbing the last rope on the shore.
Feeling the coolness of the other person's hand, Hoshino Seri smiled gently and enveloped the other person's slender hand in hers.
Afterwards, Hoshino Seri brought Bai Youqing to Ning Zixuan and Chen Yao's ward, wanting to visit them, but was informed by the nurse that Ning Zixuan and Chen Yao had already completed their discharge procedures.
Hoshino Seri didn't care much about Ning Zixuan's affairs, but she was quite concerned about Chen Yao, the Lotus Mage, who was the junior of the Violet Mage.
The nurses said that Chen Yao's legs seemed to have healed on their own, which was quite miraculous.
Upon hearing this news, Hoshino Seri remembered that the Lotus Mage had also appeared in the Moon Mountain battle livestream last night. Although she didn't seem to have fully recovered her strength, the power she displayed showed that she had been well for some time.
The question then arises: when did the Lotus Mage recover her health, and who helped her recover?
Ultimately, the blame will be directed at the already deceased Violet Mage.
So, how many secrets is Teacher Xiaobai still hiding from me?
Hoshino Lanri gently stroked the ring on her ring finger. At school, she needed to educate students; outside, she needed to take care of the Kikyo Judgment Squad members during training; at the hospital, she needed to repair the legs of her junior, the Lotus Mage; and in her spare time, she also needed to care for the elderly at a nursing home.
This explains why Teacher Xiaobai likes to stay at home so much; he's really tired.
Bai Youqing, who was standing to the side, raised her head. When she saw the faint smile on Hoshino Lanli's face as she recalled the past, her body trembled involuntarily.
Hoshino's older sister brought her to the hospital and told her about her brother's good intentions in being sick.
Bai Youqing understood that this was to reduce her guilt, but could she really forgive herself so easily?
Can the Lotus Mage, the Osmanthus Mage, and their companions in the Kikyo Judgment Squad forgive themselves for this?
The answer is no. This is a world with magical girls. Here, magical girls can fly and dive into the earth. There are magical spirits who can make contracts with ordinary people, and mysterious crystal cores that can regenerate broken bones. But now the doctor says that my brother only has one year to live.
Brother, is it really true that you only have one year to live?
My brother's limbs were once severed, but the Phosphophyllite core could be repaired, let alone such a small brain tumor.
I know it myself, and Hoshino-neechan knows it even better.
Because of her own mistakes, she not only lost her dearest loved one, but also completely ruined Hoshino's future happiness.
These endless feelings of guilt and self-blame weighed heavily on her like a boulder, making her feel that she was not worthy of happiness and hope for the rest of her life.
But now she understands that she must hide these negative emotions. She doesn't want Hoshino-neechan to worry, and she can't let Hoshino-neechan be distracted in taking care of her.
At this moment, she had only one thought: to find a way to become stronger.
If I am the main culprit who killed Violet, then those Abyss Demons are her accomplices.
They deserve to die, and they deserve to die too!!!
Hoshino Seri immediately noticed Bai Youqing's trembling. She looked at Bai Youqing beside her and asked with some concern, "Youqing, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Youqing gently shook her head, returning to her usual dazed state.
Seeing the other person's appearance, Hoshino Lanri sighed softly. It seemed that Xiaoqing's condition had not only not improved during this trip to the hospital, but had actually worsened.
Some time later, Hoshino Seri took Bai Youqing to the real estate registration agency again to re-enroll Yun Jingtian City, which Teacher Xiaobai had given her, under Bai Youqing's name.
For her, the best gift Teacher Xiaobai gave her was the notebook that recorded their past.
After doing all that, Hoshino Lanli contacted LalaHuo to start moving, from Siwu Road to Changhong Road, which was the old house she used to live in.
This was to make it easier to take care of Bai Youqing, while Yun Jingtian City would continue to serve as the small home for the Kikyo Judgment Team.
Throughout the day, Bai Youqing stayed close to Hoshino Seri, helping her clean up the cluttered room in her house.
Meanwhile, while Hoshino Ranri wasn't paying attention, she sneaked into her brother's room, collected all sorts of things, both appropriate and inappropriate, and threw them all away.
As the old saying goes, "I fear not being ground to dust, but only wish to leave behind a pure reputation in the world."
This was the last thing she could do for her brother.
Hoshino Seri didn't notice Bai Youqing's little actions. Her gaze swept around the house. To be honest, this was her first time visiting Bai Yuzhe's house. In the past, Teacher Bai would stay overnight at Bai Youqing's place so as not to disturb her rest, and he had never invited her to his house.
However, she could understand that there was a younger sister in the family, and she needed to be mindful of the impact.
Hoshino Seri wandered around the house casually, and when she came to Bai Yuze's door and balcony, her delicate eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
"Xiao Qing?"
Bai Youqing heard Hoshino Seri's call and came to her side, looking at her with some confusion.
"May I go into your brother's room to take a look?"
Bai Youqing nodded silently and opened the door.
Upon entering the room, Hoshino Seri's first impression was of its simplicity and tidiness, similar to the layout of the room in Yun Jingtian City. However, there seemed to be many more books. Bright sunlight streamed in through the two windows, adding a touch of warmth. The bed was also extremely simple, with smooth, wrinkle-free white sheets, giving a clean and refreshing impression.
Near the window, there was a potted green plant and an ugly Patrick Star sculpture.
Hoshino Seri glanced at them casually and murmured a few words.
In the pure white glow, she transformed into Kikyo the Magician, her indifferent golden eyes coldly gazing at the house.
At this moment, the sunny house had completely transformed into something else in her eyes.
Several nauseating stench emanated from the abyss, scattered throughout the room—in the wardrobe, under the bed, on the bed, on the sofa, and on the balcony.
"Xiaoqing, did anyone stay here during your training?"
Bai Youqing shook her head. The Azure Star Mage that her brother brought home originally lived here, but because he was bored, he also went to Yun Jingtian City.
I vaguely remember returning to stay for a few nights and doing something bad.
But after careful recollection, I felt that the memories in my mind were somewhat uncertain.
Seeing Bai Youqing shake her head, the expression of the Kikyo mage gradually became serious. In other words, the death of the Violet mage this time was very likely not an accident, but a well-thought-out killing plan by the Abyss Beast.
Just from the density of the abyssal aura permeating the house, one could guess that the abyssal beast that came to scout the place was definitely not low-level, and one could also vaguely sense a few wisps of the abyssal demon's aura.
There are four Abyss Demonesses. Based on her understanding of the Demonesses in recent years, Demoness Nyoro is the strongest and is active in Dongying City.
The reason why the Sakura Arbitration Team couldn't come to participate in the Arbitrator Exchange Tournament this time was because the other side had caused another big incident.
The Demoness Iris is rarely seen, but she is active in various regions of the Xia Kingdom and is ruthless.
No matter where he chased her, the Demoness Butterfly would always return to Yeqiu City, as if something there was something there that attracted her.
The opponent is very strong, but she is also the Abyss Demoness with the weakest bloodlust among all of them.
Demoness Yugiri, the weakest of the Abyss Demoness, is the most difficult to kill.
Now, she sensed a strong aura of the Demon Princess Evening Mist in Teacher Xiaobai's bedroom and on the balcony, accompanied by a few wisps of the Demon Princess Iris.
Did Teacher Xiaobai discover this beforehand, and fight with Demoness Xiwu on the balcony because of it? Although she won, she felt that it was not safe here, so she specially took Bai Youqing to live in Yun Jingtian City?
If at this moment, Kikyo the Magician were to tell Shiro Youqing her inner thoughts, or ask her if she had heard any strange noises at night before.
Based on her past experiences, Bai Youqing is very likely to give an answer that will shock everyone.
However, it was clear that Kikyo, the magician, felt that this was not the right time to tell Shiro Youqing these things.
Seeing the other person's taciturn demeanor, speaking up would only add to their burden; it was better for her to investigate this matter alone.
With a sense of doubt, Kikyo, the magician, recorded these few streams of abyssal energy onto the little paper doll, and then began to clean up the remaining abyssal energy in the room and on the balcony.
Short-term exposure to this abyssal aura may not have any effect on ordinary people, but prolonged exposure can cause them to become irritable and experience unknown physical changes.
Seeing Kikyo chant purification magic, Bai Youqing followed suit, just as the first lesson Kikyo taught her was purification magic.
However, her perception of the abyss's energy is far less acute than the other party's.
