Chapter 933 Hospital Origins
Billowing smoke surged from the deep pit in the ground, pale blue light wandered between the cracks in the earth. The giant octopus-like corpse beast had now turned into wisps of red dust, dissipating into the air, leaving not even a trace of remains.
Looking at that exaggeratedly shaped cannon, Lin Qiye’s jaw dropped in shock…
Is that thing a star destroyer cannon dismantled from a spaceship? One shot killed a “Boundless” realm corpse beast?
In the sky, Ji Nian lightly waved her hand, and that giant cannon dissolved into pixels, flowing like water into a ring on her fingertip before disappearing.
She put her hands in her pockets, took a step from under the night sky, and appeared before Lin Qiye in the next moment.
Pale blue flame embers rose in the air, the sound of fleeing residents echoed in the distance. Ji Nian looked at Lin Qiye before her with a smile, raised her hand, and waved it in the air.
“Hello there, King of Hosts, Qianyu Qiye?”
Lin Qiye: …??
“What host?” Lin Qiye turned his head to the side and said expressionlessly, “You’ve got the wrong person.”
“Come to think of it, looking carefully, you really do have the qualities of a top host…” Ji Nian looked him up and down and couldn’t help saying, “Come back to Shangxie Society with me, we need top talents like you in our society!”
“…” Lin Qiye suddenly felt that this Shangxie Society’s president’s thought process was quite different from normal people.
“Why are you here?” Lin Qiye changed the subject.
“Oh, I came to explore the cultural situation in this ‘human circle’ to facilitate our actions. Of course, if it happens to be on the way, I’d also like to see what the wealthy lady who put a billion yen bounty on you looks like.”
“…The latter half is your real intention, right?”
“Hehe.”
Ji Nian smiled without denying it. She looked back at the residents fleeing in chaos, her eyes narrowing slightly, “However, the situation here is indeed quite concerning…”
Lin Qiye looked up at the sky. Under the night, it was completely empty, and his brows furrowed tightly.
From the previous situation, Yuzuri Takashiro should have been everywhere killing corpse beasts to protect the public’s safety, but now this corpse beast had appeared for so long, yet there was still no sign of him.
Did he give up hunting corpse beasts and go straight home? Or…
Were the corpse beasts appearing too frequently, so fast that even Yuzuri Takashiro couldn’t keep up?
The corpse beasts’ appearances were random. Although with Yuzuri Takashiro’s strength, it wouldn’t take long to kill one corpse beast, if they appeared too frequently, with multiple beasts appearing in different locations at the same time, even he couldn’t handle them all immediately.
If it was the former situation, that would be fine, but if it was the latter… it would mean that the “human circle” wasn’t far from true collapse.
Lin Qiye’s expression was extremely grave.
Boom-!
The low roar of an engine suddenly came from beside him. Lin Qiye came to his senses and saw a pixel-assembled McLaren with post-apocalyptic paint job had appeared beside him at some point. Its low chassis almost touched the road, and its grayish-yellow slightly rusty body had a unique sense of power and beauty amid the dust.
It was like a beast that had fought its way out of the apocalypse, now crouching on the broken road, growling deeply.
Ji Nian sat in the driver’s seat, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and honked the horn.
“Get in.”
“…Where did you get this car?”
“What’s so hard about creating a car? Next time when there’s a chance, I’ll let you ride the cruise ship I create.” Ji Nian shrugged.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye opened the door, got in, and fastened his seatbelt.
He turned his head to see Ji Nian looking at him with a peculiar expression.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“…Nothing, I just suddenly thought that if my dad knew there was a King of Hosts sitting in my passenger seat, he’d probably chase me around the world with a knife.” Ji Nian stuck out her tongue, “Hold on tight.”
With a roar, the McLaren shot forward, disappearing at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.
A few minutes after they left, a white-clothed figure flashed across the sky like lightning and landed in the deep pit that Ji Nian had just blasted.
Yuzuri Takashiro slowly stood up straight, his white clothes now crimson all over.
“Didn’t make it…”
His gaze swept the surroundings, his eyes slightly focusing.
“Hmm?” He reached out to catch a few wisps of red dust still floating in the air, surprise appearing in his eyes, “This corpse beast has already been dealt with? By whom?”
Amemiya Haruhei’s image quickly appeared in Yuzuri Takashiro’s mind, but was then dismissed.
Brother Amemiya’s [Rain Collapse] couldn’t blast a corpse beast to pieces.
He pondered for a long time but couldn’t think of anyone else who could do this. He shook his head and was about to turn and leave when a crisp phone ring sounded from his pocket.
“Hello? Sister?”
“…”
…
On the road under the night sky, Lin Qiye gazed out the window for a long time before speaking:
“Actually, I have many questions I want to ask you…”
“I know what you want to ask.” Ji Nian spoke leisurely, “What exactly is that hospital? Why were those gods locked inside? Why did it choose you? What’s my zodiac sign? And what’s my ideal type?”
“…Leave out the last two questions.”
“Scorpio, likes handsome guys over 180cm tall with fair skin, good looks, long legs and abs.”
“…” Lin Qiye’s mouth twitched slightly, “I’m not interested.”
“But among these questions, I can only answer those two.” Ji Nian said helplessly, “As for the first three questions, I don’t know either.”
“Isn’t it yours?”
“No, I just brought it over from a mysterious place, I don’t know what it is either…
After coming here, it seemed to come alive, taking me through the fog frantically. Whenever it released a white light, a figure would be drawn from the fog into a hospital room, becoming a patient there.”
“You mean, it’s not you controlling the hospital, but the hospital itself absorbing those patients?”
“How could I have such ability? I was only seven or eight years old back then, still a fragile little girl. The only thing I could do was punch down that crooked tree in the courtyard to relieve my fear a bit.”
“…Then why did it end up in my mind?”
“It chose you itself.” Ji Nian turned to look at Lin Qiye and said seriously, “After collecting six patients, it guided me to come to Cangnan to find you…”
