Chapter 182: What's the Deal with Eating Intestines?
In the morning, Bai Wei opened his eyes and realized it was already 8:30 in the morning.
He was supposed to make breakfast this morning, but he ended up oversleeping.
Due to the time difference, he still felt a bit tired as he had been studying all day without resting.
He was studying in sync with Michelle, and they happened to be studying European history and political science yesterday.
Bai Wei immersed himself in the studies and meticulously continued until late at night, and when he checked the time and rushed to leave, it was already early morning.
By the time he got up, Yagyū Simozi and Jingūji had already gone out for school, and he was the only one left alone in the empty house.
After finishing breakfast, he entered the visualization scene, and as expected, Yagyū Simozi and Hokusinn Kichyō were both diligently grinding the Abyss and Boundless Bliss.
He casually took down the "Rest for a week" sign and flipped it over, which now read "Welcome".
But then he felt something off about the wording and changed it to "Happy Home" instead.
Not long after, a girl rushed over in a flurry.
Hokusinn Kichyō.
She seemed as if she had taken explosives and reached an unparalleled state after receiving widespread acclaim. Gone were her usual smiles, replaced instead by a restrained calmness. There seemed to be a hint of bitterness and deep resentment in her expression, as if she hadn't had her period in seven days.
It was precisely because of this that her swordsmanship proficiency was skyrocketing, as if she had activated a triple experience card.
Bai Wei didn't bother being polite with her and adjusted his output from 30% to 50%.
Just kidding, as the boss, how could he let her solo him?
At the very least, form a team and then come to defeat me!
Hokusinn Kichyō shrugged off the defeat and immediately went back to grinding Boundless Bliss in the White Snake Shrine, as if the previous loss meant nothing to her. Perhaps she was already able to quickly assimilate that experience.
After waiting for a while without Yagyū Simozi, Bai Wei exited the visualization scene, hung the "Taking a day off" sign, returned to reality, and then headed to the hospital to visit Sakurai Shiru.
When he arrived at the hospital, he happened to run into Kurosawa Yaka doing rounds.
Because of the good news, there was no need to avoid Sakurai Shiru. Dr. Kurosawa stated bluntly, "Her physical condition is improving more and more. If there are no issues after observing for another month, we can consider discharging her."
Sakurai Shiru raised both hands and exclaimed, "Yay!"
Kurosawa lightly tapped on the head of Sakurai Shiru, "Just considering it, it's not certain yet. Your body is still very weak, we need to consider rehabilitation, understand?"
Sakurai Shiru clung to the wrist of Kurosawa, acting spoiled, "I know, doctor."
Bai Wei stood on the side, placing his palm unconsciously on his chin.
"Mr. Bai, is there something wrong with your eyes?" Kurosawa Yaka instinctively sensed that Bai was definitely thinking about something.
"I'm just fine," Bai Wei touched his chin, "I personally just feel... Doctor Kurosawa is full of motherly qualities."
"Thanks," Kurosawa Yaka said sarcastically, "Thanks for indirectly mocking me for not getting married at this age."
"No, what I meant to say is," Bai Wei smiled, "Why don't you change your name to Kurosawa Ouse..."
Kurosawa Yaka waved her hand impatiently, driving Bai away with a few curt words.
Just as she walked out, she suddenly heard a child crying, surrounded by a group of nurses trying to pacify him, but with no effect.
Kurosawa Yaka walked over, crouched down, and with a strong sense of affinity, she made the little boy stop crying.
Kurosawa Yaka wiped the face of the young boy, who was only about six or seven years old, and then he stopped crying and rubbed his eyes.
Kurosawa Yaka remembered that this little boy was a relative of a middle-aged man on the fourth floor. The man had been hospitalized recently due to overwork, and his family had come to visit.
"What happened exactly?" Kurosawa Yaka asked gently.
"Wu..." The child's tears kept falling, "I, I saw..."
"What did you see?"
"I saw, I saw..." The child's face turned pale at this point, trembling with fear. He leaned close to the doctor's ear and whispered, "I saw, my mom is a monster, she's not a human."
Bai Wei read the lip movements and also caught that sentence.
His eyebrows raised, and then he looked at the boy's head. Huh... there was no exclamation mark.
Kurosawa Yaka was also surprised for a second, "Monster, a monster?"
She was also curious about what the child saw that made him think his mother was a monster.
"It's because of Mom... that Dad... got hospitalized," the boy sobbed.
"Can you be more specific?" Kurosawa Yaka asked seriously.
"When I woke up last night, I saw... Mom..." he said fearfully, "eating Dad's exposed intestines."
Kurosawa Yaka was stunned.
Bai Wei stumbled and nearly tripped.
"Doctor, it must be like this, that's why my dad was admitted to the hospital. If he continues like this, he'll be eaten alive by my mom," the boy said, tears streaming down his face.
"Doctor Kurosawa, your facial muscles stiffened. "This...this...I did make rounds today too, but I didn't see any wounds on your father's stomach," Kurosawa Yaka said.
"But I saw it," the boy said, looking aggrieved.
"How about this, let me take you to have a look, alright?" Kurosawa Yaka stood up and walked to the elevator, noticing Bai Wei's tense expression.
"Doctor Kurosawa, is there a possibility, I mean, what if...this intestine isn't really an intestine?"
"What could it be?" the boy asked curiously.
"Mr. Bai, don't speak nonsense in front of the child," Kurosawa Yaka scolded Bai Wei with a glare.
She led the child into the ward, and then had a brief conversation with a young and beautiful woman privately.
The expression of the woman changed from astonishment to embarrassment, then to anger, and finally she bowed repeatedly.
After the doctor left, there was chaos in the ward, accompanied by a woman's screaming, "Big Bear, get your ass over here!!"
Kurosawa Yaka sat back in the elevator and noticed that Bai Wei was still there.
Bai Wei sighed, "In the hospital, it's really not strange to encounter anything."
Kurosawa Yaka rubbed her forehead with her hand, "Indeed, it's not surprising. Yesterday, I encountered a patient...because of severe constipation, she exerted excessive force, which triggered a heart attack. She fainted and was brought to the hospital, with symptoms such as anal bleeding, and she was a beautiful young lady in her early twenties."
Bai Wei pondered, "Did that person die?"
Kurosawa Yaka said, "A few months ago, she was still an intern at our hospital. Coincidentally, there was an art student who shared the same ward with her, and he drew a sketch depicting the scene and gave it to the young lady."
Bai Wei burst into laughter on the spot, unable to hold back, "Hahaha! Oops...I can't...take it anymore!"
Ding~ The elevator reached the first floor.
Bai Wei walked out of the elevator, and Kurosawa Yaka said to his retreating figure, "It's almost December, Mr. Bai. I hope that when you come next time, you will consider carefully whether to use the special medicine."
Bai Wei waved his hand in farewell, "I'll keep it in mind."
The Bloody Red Moon is getting closer, and the stable state of affairs from all directions seems to be on the verge of being shattered.
Bai Wei looked up and could vaguely see the moon's outline through the deep blue sky. Within the outline's illusion hid the eternal song of the witch, a mixture of mad whisperings and relentless curses, as well as melodious ballads of endless life and death cycles.
“Ah, my golden throne... Where did you fly off to in the end?”
In the afternoon, went to the dojo for work.
Started teaching the class, with around twenty to thirty students at Izumi Dojo.
Bai Wei started teaching from the basics, and a few hours quickly passed by without much noteworthy content.
Boys admire Ai, but not all girls necessarily admire boys. Among them, young middle and high school girls showed a stronger interest in Bai Wei.
Bai Wei could only intensify their physical training so that they wouldn't have the leisure to think about such matters. As long as they engaged in rigorous physical exercises every day, they wouldn't even consider trivial things like love. After training, they would be so exhausted that they would simply melt on their beds. Therefore, the best way to prevent early relationships was to have more classes, preferably physical education classes.
Returned home in the evening, just another ordinary day.
Jingūji didn't come in the evening, only Bai Wei and Yagyū Simozi were at home, and Simozi was more proactive than before.
The most straightforward thing was that when she came back, she gave Bai Wei a hug directly.
Thump thump thump... A deer rambling... No, it was a stag rampaging.
The first time, it was quite unexpected. The second time, Bai Wei managed to control himself a bit more. This time, he didn't passively accept the embrace but instead hugged his sister back. They even spun around before he released her, and Yagyū Simozi's cheeks turned red with happiness.
At the dinner table, Bai Wei recounted the events of the day to his sister, and Simozi laughed so hard that she almost sprayed food everywhere. They later discussed Hokusinn Kichyō, and Simozi mentioned that something seemed off about her. It seemed like she had been secluded lately, possibly in a bad mood. They weren't sure if it was because a relative had visited or if none had come.
Bai Wei thought to himself that his sister was indeed amazing, as her guess aligned perfectly with his own. Hokusinn Kichyō must be in a bad mood since she hadn't appeared in the past few days.
Before nightfall, Bai Wei drank a few cups of tea, but soon realized it didn't do much. He simply laid down on the bed and fell asleep. As soon as his head touched the pillow, his consciousness was swept away by the tides of the spiritual world's ocean, faster than being flushed down a toilet. Then, he opened his eyes and saw a blurry-eyed Michelle changing her clothes, with sunlight shining on her slightly immature figure.
Bai Wei held his breath, his gaze fixed, and a few seconds later, he looked out the window, exclaiming, "What a lovely weather today, so bright... and so white!"
