The scene of Beichuan Si carrying Tsukishima Risa in one hand while questioning was a bit too bizarre.
This made Qian Xia Chiyuki unsure of what to say, so she could only whisper, "Beichuan, be careful when you put her down, Risa's physical condition isn't particularly good."
Beichuan Si glanced at Qian Xia Chiyuki from the corner of his eye and finally let out a contemplative sound, sending a wisp of death energy into the other's nostrils.
The previously aggressive Tsukishima Risa instantly quieted down. Her limbs, which were still flailing a moment ago, now hung limply.
"Beichuan?!" Qian Xia Chiyuki called out worriedly.
"Don't worry, I just made her sleep for a bit. She wasn't in a state where I could act." Beichuan Si's expression remained calm, and as the faint black energy circulated, the death energy was retracted, laying Tsukishima Risa flat on the bed.
He observed the pajama-clad Tsukishima Risa with a contemplative look.
And standing beside him, Qian Xia Chiyuki dared not disturb Beichuan Si.
She watched as Beichuan Si examined Tsukishima Risa.
Only to see Beichuan's eyes flicker from time to time, his brows slowly furrowed. After a moment, he couldn't help but turn back and ask,
"How long has it been since Tsukishima took a bath? It stinks."
"????" Qian Xia Chiyuki.
Is that the only thing you care about?
Qian Xia Chiyuki was at a loss for words and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Maybe more than half a month."
Well, reality is not a cartoon; even if you're a pretty high school girl, if you don't bathe for a long time, you'll emit a sour smell.
"Poor hygiene and staying up late are also important reasons for her body's increasing weakness." Beichuan Si noticed Qian Xia Chiyuki's startled expression and continued matter-of-factly, "After this matter is resolved, I hope you will immediately let my patient...Tsukishima take a bath."
The professional habits of a medical student struck again.
Beichuan Si shook his head, and to Qian Xia Chiyuki's incredulous eyes, a sinister black gas suddenly flickered between his fingers!
The grudge attached to Tsukishima had already been present for two or three weeks. With increasing fusion, he couldn't roughly pull it out like he did with Shen Gu Mirai.
Beichuan Si paid no attention to the bewildered expression on Qian Xia Chiyuki's face, his mind churning with various thoughts.
Although part of it was close to merging with Tsukishima Risa's body, most of the resentment was still lingering externally.
If that is the case, then start from the outside.
Beichuan Si understood at once and manipulated the death energy to coat the surface of Tsukishima Risa's body.
At that moment, Tsukishima Risa's previously quiet body turned like a boiling pot, with countless purple-black air currents being forced out.
Beichuan Si concentrated fully, while Qian Xia Chiyuki on the other side didn't dare to breathe.
"What on earth is that?"
Qian Xia Chiyuki suppressed her voice, her face flushed, but her big black eyes stared unblinkingly at the incomprehensible scene.
The scene before her eyes was clearly challenging the worldview Qian Xia Chiyuki had long established.
Although she had mentally prepared herself, when this eerie and complex scenario revealed itself before her, the shock in her heart couldn't help but surge forth.
Is this the capability of Beichuan?
Qian Xia Chiyuki was in a daze for several minutes before she barely regained her composure.
She swallowed and continued to watch Beichuan Si.
At this point, Beichuan Si had entered the final stage, and the black energy inside Tsukishima Risa was compressed into a mass.
While Shen Gu Mirai's grudge was the size of a rubber ball, the black energy within Tsukishima Risa was as large as a soccer ball.
A sinister chill spread!
Qian Xia Chiyuki felt the black mass staring at her and Beichuan Si with a malevolent, unwilling gaze.
The surroundings began to undergo changes, with windows trembling, ghostly claws climbing, and the entire room seeming to emit a vaguely hoarse scream.
In response, Beichuan Si's actions were quite simple.
He moved his feet, clasped his hands together, and the death energy at his fingertips erupted, instantly crushing the basketball-sized mass!
The disturbance subsided.
The terrifying shadows receded, and the room quickly returned to tranquility, as if the earlier incidents that left Qian Xia Chiyuki frightened were merely illusions.
Just as Qian Xia Chiyuki was in mental disarray, unable to free herself, the sound of tearing newspaper suddenly came.
She looked intently and saw Beichuan Si tearing open the paper that sealed the window.
"Beichuan...what are you doing?"
"Doing what...?" Beichuan Si didn't pause his actions at all, and he calmly said, "During recovery, patients should get more sunlight."
"Recovery?" Qian Xia Chiyuki was dumbfounded.
Is that all?
From the moment Beichuan Si entered the room, lifted Tsukishima Risa, and then dispelled the grudge, though the description may take a thousand words, in reality, only seven to eight minutes had passed.
Especially the removal of the grudge, in Qian Xia Chiyuki's estimation, Beichuan Si barely took five minutes.
Is this...really reliable?
Beichuan Si was busy ventilating the room, while Qian Xia Chiyuki walked over with uncertainty.
Tsukishima Risa's breathing was steady, and her previously paper-white face now had a healthy flush, though it still appeared rather pale, likely due to long-term insufficient nutrition.
But Tsukishima Risa's complexion and breathing had returned to normal, and with a few more days of home rest, there shouldn't be much of a problem for her to return to usual school activities.
Qian Xia Chiyuki looked away and turned to see what Beichuan Si was doing.
Only to find that he was already standing behind her, with a small cloud of black gas floating in his hand.
"This is the grudge from your body, which I took out when you were examining Tsukishima." Beichuan Si explained coldly, casually crushing the grudge.
Took it out by chance?
Qian Xia Chiyuki was dumbfounded. Can this thing really be taken out casually?
Beichuan Si reached out his hand toward her again. Qian Xia Chiyuki stared blankly at his hand, as if trying to see if there were any talismans or salt used for exorcism.
After looking for a long while without seeing anything peculiar, it was Beichuan Si's slightly puzzled voice that reached her:
"Aren't you planning to pay?"
Uh—
A blush quickly spread across Qian Xia Chiyuki's fair face, turning even darker.
So that's why Beichuan Si extended his hand!
Her expression tightened. After a long pause, she hesitantly took out 100,000 yen from her wallet and handed it to Beichuan Si.
"That's it for now." Beichuan Si took the money contently and suddenly said, "Later, you should deal with Tsukishima's mother. I'll be heading off now."
With the grudge on Tsukishima Risa expelled and his task completed, Beichuan Si received the compensation he deserved. It was time to leave.
After all, the resolution of Tsukishima Risa's condition was rather strange, and explaining it at length would be bothersome.
Beichuan Si didn't care to waste time on such matters and simply left it to Qian Xia Chiyuki to handle.
Moreover—
Beichuan Si felt the ball-shaped object in his pocket, and his thoughts shifted.
New information had come to light.
