Chapter 316: Appointment
"Hello, little brother." As soon as Zheng Shu entered the ward, he saw Kurotong Kanya sitting next to the hospital bed.
As the nurses had said, he looked like an abandoned puppy sitting next to his bed.
"Is this the ward of the two ceremonies?" Glancing at the two ceremonies lying on the bed, Zheng Shu said knowingly.
"Hello, by the way, are you a friend of Shiki?" Kurokirigan also stood up from his chair stiffly.
He couldn't help but be restrained, and since this person entered the ward, the originally spacious single room suddenly became crowded.
It was still daytime outside, and he wasn't on the side of the window, but the presence of the other party seemed to block out the sunlight, making the whole room look dark.
"Oh, by name? It seems that you have a very good relationship with this girl, little brother! Zheng Shu looked Hei Tong Kanya up and down, smiled and nodded.
"No...... We're just friends......" Kurokirigan also looked a little shy.
Zheng Shu smiled and didn't care about Hei Tong Kanya's defense, but turned his gaze to the two ceremonies who were lying on the hospital bed.
Just like in the original book, the appearance of the person lying on the bed was excessively exquisite, even compared to Zheng Shu's real appearance before strengthening Hercules' strengthening template.
Even if her body and face are a little thin because of her long-term bed coma, her appearance is still so beautiful that both men and women will think that she is the opposite sex when they see her, and her facial features are not so much beautiful as awe-inspiring.
Because she fell into a deep sleep, her face looked a lot softer, but even so, just looking at the thin eyebrows and closed eyes, it seemed that she could feel the sharpness of her eyes.
In general, the appearance of the two ceremonies can be regarded as a beauty even if it is placed in the god generation.
However, Zheng Shu's gaze did not stay on the faces of the two ceremonies for too long, after all, if you really want to count it, his current real appearance is much better than the two ceremonies.
What Zheng Shu cared about was the aura on the two ceremonies.
At first glance, it seemed that there was no big problem, and like ordinary seriously ill patients, she only had a faint breath of life wandering in her body.
But if the identities of the two ceremonies are combined, then her current state is too abnormal.
Among the four exorcism families in Guanbuzi City, only the Liangyi family has the best life.
Although it has also declined because of bloodline, the main family is still very complete, and they are also very aware of their family's knowledge and history, which is too much better than the situation where there are only one or two heirs left in the other three major exorcist families.
Therefore, the first heir of a family like the Two Rituals must have awakened the bloodline since he was a child and gained the ability to control magical power.
Because they rely on superpowers obtained from bloodline, the people of the four exorcist families are completely different from modern orthodox magicians.
Modern magicians don't have any magic in their bodies before they deliberately use magic circuits to transform magic, so unless they are prepared accordingly, today's magicians will be quite weak in the face of sudden sneak attacks.
And because the type of power is superpower, the magic power in the human body of the four exorcist families does not need the transformation of magic circuits to appear, and they will have a certain amount of magic power in their bodies all the time.
Although the constant transformation of mana will cause a severe load on the body, and even some of the body's functions will be weakened, it will also allow them to have more spare strength in the face of sudden attacks.
So theoretically, even if the two rituals have fallen into a coma, the bloodline in her body should be constantly creating magical power.
But the truth is that Zheng Shu didn't perceive any trace of magic from her body.
"Strange." A glimmer of golden light flashed in Zheng Shu's eyes, and he walked straight to the side of the hospital bed very simply.
"Are you ......" Hei Tonggan also discovered Zheng Shu's movements, although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, he was also very determined to come up and prepare to block it, but how could he stop Zheng Shu with his strength.
Zheng Shu directly ignored Hei Tong Kanya's pull and came to the bedside of the two ceremonies, looking at her body that didn't seem to have anything unusual at all, frowned and directly stretched out his hand to press the two ceremonial faces.
"Stop!" Finding that he couldn't do anything to stop the person in front of him with his own strength, Kurokirigan could only shout helplessly, hoping to attract the nurse and doctor here.
However, when he shouted, a magic rune at the door of the ward emitted a faint light, which was the technique carved by Zheng Shu after he entered, specially used to isolate the ward from the outside world.
However, Zheng Shu's hand was not completely pressed down after all, and when there were still two or three centimeters away from the faces of the two rituals, Zheng Shu stopped his movements, and looked at the two rituals under his hands who didn't seem to have any reaction, Zheng Shu's eyebrows wrinkled even more.
"Roots?" Zheng Shu was a little puzzled.
The reason why his hand was not fully pressed in the end was because it was "stopped", and the force that stopped him was the "root".
There was a subtle aura in the body of the two rituals that was extremely active, and this aura was hidden inside the bodies of the two rituals, and it did not exude power outward, so even Zheng Shu sensed that something was wrong after leaning his hand very close.
This breath gives people an extremely strange feeling, as if it is the truth of the world, the rules of the universe, even people who have never met it at all, will understand it when they first come into contact with it...... That's the root of this world.
To be precise, the root did not stop Zheng Shu from continuing to press his hand down, but Zheng Shu had a feeling that with the current level of activity of the root in the body of the two rituals, once a creature with magical power like him came into contact, it was very likely that he would be directly devoured and killed.
The origin of the two rituals is "nothingness", that is, the essence of "nothingness".
Since the consciousness of "Shiki" during this period of coma cannot see the outside world, but can only constantly look at the inner nothingness, it constantly comes into contact with the concept of death in the void, and after waking up, it obtains the Divine Eye of Death, which can see the death of things.
Combined with the scene he is seeing now, Zheng Shu speculates that in this process, the origin and personality of the two rituals are also constantly contacting the root, so this is what led to this situation.
These emanating root breaths are not harmful to ordinary humans, because their brains can't feel anything like "roots" at all.
But for magicians, the root of "nothingness" is the most terrible thing, and once they come into contact with it, their own consciousness will be engulfed by this root and sink into endless nothingness.
And based on the primitive instinct of creatures to get close to the root, the magic circuits in their bodies will start to operate uncontrollably, squeezing the magic of the body in an almost endless way to try to break through the limitations of the world to reach the root.
And because their own consciousness is still in nothingness, the magicians can only unconsciously wait for their bodies to step into death.
In a sense, the two rituals at this stage are absolute predators to creatures that carry magical powers.
With Zheng Shu's current servant body, once he comes into contact with the two rituals, it is likely to cause the magic power in his body to be consumed and dissipated.
"So, it's no wonder that Huang Ye Zonglian has been a doctor in this hospital for so long, but she hasn't put any back hands on the body of the two ceremonies." Zheng Shu finally understood the question he had been asking all along.
You must know that Huangye Zonglian has lived for hundreds of years, and he has also specially studied in the clock tower, and his magician methods can be said to be ridiculously many.
Araya Zonglian's wish has always been to enter the roots, and after discovering the two rituals, he made a lot of preparations.
But in fact, Zheng Shu has never understood that during the two years when the two ceremonies were in a coma due to a car accident, Amaya Zonglian also worked as a doctor in this hospital, and if she wanted to use the physical characteristics of the two rituals to enter the root cause, it was obviously the most appropriate way to start in the process of her coma.
Even if some of the methods cannot be used during the coma of the two rituals because of the particularity of the root, it stands to reason that he only needs to prepare some back hands on the body of the two rituals, so it is impossible to be killed by the two rituals in the final duel no matter what.
Now Zheng Shu understands that with the protection of the roots, all the means driven by magic cannot be used on the unconscious two rituals.
He could even imagine the tragic situation of this guy when he was faced with the ideal he had always dreamed of, but found that he couldn't touch it no matter what.
"Alright, don't scream, I'm just looking at her condition." Zheng Shu, who came back to his senses, glanced at Kuroki Kanya, who tried to go out to call someone, but found that he couldn't open the door anyway.
"Take a look at the condition?" Hei Tonggan also looked at Zheng Shu vigilantly, this person suddenly showed violent movements after entering the room, the amplitude of the action did not look like treating people, Hei Tonggan almost thought that Zheng Shu was a person who came to seek revenge from the underworld.
After all, the Liangyi family is also a well-known underworld family in Guanbuzi City, and it is normal for people to come to the door to seek revenge.
Zheng Shu pulled another chair and sat in the room, looked at Hei Tong Kanya, and waved his hand at the two ceremonies lying on the bed: "Yes, although the spirit is terrifyingly silent, it is estimated that it will be almost able to wake up in half a year." ”
"Really?" Kurokirigan also showed some excitement, but there was also some disbelief in his tone.
After all, this person didn't seem to make any regular means of examination, but just inexplicably put his palm on top of the two ceremonial faces and hovered for a moment.
"My methods are different from normal doctors." Zheng Shu knew what he was thinking when he saw Hei Tong Kanya's expression, "Since you have such a good relationship with the two ceremonies, then you should also know that she is not an ordinary person...... In fact, the Liangyi family is not an ordinary underworld family. ”
Kurokirigan was silent for a moment and nodded, although he hadn't fully come into contact with the magic world at this time, but after going through some cases with the two rituals, he also found out that something was wrong with her.
With Kurotong Kanya's intelligence gathering ability, it is estimated that he should have known the information that the Liangyi family was once one of the four exorcist families in Guanbuzi City.
Of course, there are a lot of legends and stories mixed in with this information, so Kurokurigan can't be too sure how much of it is true.
"You don't need to be too clear about the specific testing method, all in all, she should be able to wake up after about half a year." Zheng Shu silently estimated the time of the awakening of the two rituals in the plot.
Glancing at Hei Tong Kanya, who still had a little skeptical look, Zheng Shu smiled: "By the way, when she wakes up, there will be a very big hole in her heart, if you can, you'd better spend more time with her and help this guy fill the void in his heart." You don't have to do anything special, just get along the same way you used to get along. ”
"Huh?" Hei Tong Gan is really confused now.
"Anyway, you'll know the details when the time comes, now let's get down to business. I think you've already noticed that I'm here to find you. Zheng Shu restrained his smile.
Hei Tonggan also noticed that with the change of the other party's expression, the atmosphere in the room also changed instantly, and he swallowed and spat a little nervously, he took a deep breath, but still mustered up the courage to face Zheng Shu's gaze:
"What are you looking for me for? We probably haven't met before. ”
Kuroki Kanya is quite sure of this, because with the height characteristics of the other party, anyone who has seen it will be impressed.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zheng Shu, and now I ...... Barely a magician. Zheng Shu stretched out his hand.
Hei Tong Gan also hesitated, and also stretched out his hand to shake Zheng Shu: "Hei Tong Gan Ye, it should be regarded as someone's assistant now." ”
"That's right, the reason why I came to you this time is also for that person." Zheng Shu took over.
"You mean...... Aozaki oranges? Hei Tonggan was also a little puzzled, "If you have something to find her, you can go directly to her company, and you don't need to go through me." ”
"It seems that you don't know much about that person's abilities." Zheng Shu smiled, "The Aozaki orange in your mouth is a crown magician recognized by the clock tower, if she doesn't want to be discovered, a half-baked magician like me may not be able to discover her magic workshop for the rest of her life." ”
Hei Tonggan also looked even more puzzled after listening to Zheng Shu's description, although he didn't understand terms such as "clock tower" and "crown magician", but at least he knew what the other party meant.
"Actually, it's a surprise that you can find the magic workshop of Ozaki oranges, and you know, even at the original exhibition, she didn't want to leave any contact information about herself." Zheng Shu shook his head helplessly.
Because Aozaki Orange was sealed and designated by the Magicians Association, although the seal designation was removed once later, she is still in hiding.
The puppet released during the exhibition is actually just a reminder that the local magic community has come here, and you can contact her if you need anything.
After all, as a puppeteer, although he earns a lot, he also spends a lot of money, and this behavior of Aozaki Orange is understandable.
The problem is that those established magic families themselves have the contact information of Aozaki Orange, and some new or magician families that are far away from the clock tower can also obtain the contact information of Aozaki Orange through their own connections.
But for an individual like Zheng Shu, unless Aozaki Orange takes the initiative to contact him, it will be too difficult to contact Aozaki Orange directly.
Kurokiri can also find it because of his unreasonable intelligence search ability, which is almost an impossible method to replicate.
"So I'd like you to make an appointment with that Aozaki orange for me, I have a commission I want to talk to her...... Of course, the remuneration is also quite generous. Zheng Shu finally stated his purpose.
Kurotong Gan also thought for a moment and then nodded and agreed: "Okay, don't worry, I'll talk to her." ”
