Sakura, who has just undergone physical adjustments, still needs a few days to adapt. During this time, she can stay in Jialan Hall and be taken care of by Chengzi at any time.
Lu Xiao contacted Kiritsugu by phone and informed him of the situation here, temporarily delaying her departure to Germany.
Lu Xiao then went to Guanbuzi Hospital alone to check the situation.
As Cheng Zi said, since it is built on spiritual veins, the souls of patients who died in the hospital due to various reasons can easily become entangled here.
Over time, various supernatural phenomena and strange stories developed in the hospital, and it was often necessary to invite people to "transcend".
Lu Xiao sneaked into the hospital unnoticed and looked through the records, and discovered that the "special medical consultant" most often invited by the director was not Aozaki Yuko, but a man named Araya Soren.
'It's really you.'
Araya Soren, a former Tendai sect monk, at least 200 years old, was Aozaki Yuko's classmate when he was studying at the Clock Tower.
According to the plot of Sora no Kyoukai, at the end of the 20th century, most of the strange stories in Kanfuko City were related to Araya Soren. He wandered wantonly in the dark places of the city and quietly laid out his own plans.
"Have you reached the root? Haha..."
Like all magicians, Araya Soren also regards pursuing the root as his ultimate goal.
But unlike other magicians who hope to obtain infinite magic power, Araya Soren's purpose of searching for the root is to explore the value of human existence.
If he cannot get a satisfactory answer to the root cause, Araya Soren may very well embark on a path of no return that will destroy humanity.
Alaya, the primate integrated suppression power, sensed the danger of Araya Soren and has been guarding him tightly, almost cutting off all possibilities for Araya Soren to reach the source by relying on his own abilities.
Even though he was specifically targeted by the inhibitory force, Araya Soren, whose willpower is as tenacious as an ascetic, still did not give up. Now he is active in the shadows of Kanfuko City, trying to find new ways to reach the root cause.
Lu Xiao only has one year left to stay in this era. He cannot always squat in Guanbuzi City and guard Araya Zonglian to the death, nor is he interested in doing so.
No matter how talented Araya Soren is, he is still just a human being.
Alaya has paid special attention to him. No matter how much this guy jumps around, he can't escape the control of inhibition. All his efforts are in vain.
Even if humans and magicians can't stop his death-seeking behavior, there is still Alaya's gold medal worker - the guardian.
'But... there is no harm in sabotaging his plan.'
Through the hospital's patient list, he found a long-term inpatient named Wu Jiao Kirie, and Lu Xiao came to the inpatient department without knowing it.
"Click~"
Opening the door to the single-occupancy special care ward, a long-haired woman wearing a hospital gown was staring blankly out of the window, not responding to the sound of the door opening.
"Wi Tiao Wu Hue?"
"Um?"
When she heard someone calling her name, the woman who was facing Lu Xiao with the back of her head finally turned around, revealing a pale face without blood.
This woman looks to be in her early 20s, with an elegant temperament and beautiful appearance. If it weren't for her sickly appearance, she would have attracted the attention of many men walking on the street.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The focus of Wu Tiao Wuhue's eyes was a little scattered, and her glasses seemed to have been blind for a long time, making it difficult to pinpoint the appearance of the person who made the sound.
"I am……"
Lu Xiao thought about it for a moment, smiled mischievously and said, "Just think of me as a kind-hearted magician passing by."
It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between a magician and a magician. In order to facilitate Wu Tiao Wuhui's understanding, Lu Xiao used a relatively easy-to-understand expression.
"Haha~"
Wu Tiao Wuhui didn't laugh at Lu Xiao's "joke". He raised his hand to cover his delicate mouth and smiled softly: "Mr. Mr. Magician, who was passing by, why did you come to my ward? Could it be that you want to cure me?
Sickness?"
"Bingo~ You guessed it right."
Lu Xiao walked to Wu Tiao Wuhui's hospital bed, raised her weak left hand, and flicked a weak light from her fingertips to the inside of her wrist.
"Um?"
While examining Wu Tiao Wuhui's body, Lu Xiao discovered something strange.
Kirie Ujou's body is indeed very weak, but the source of her illness cannot be seen from a medical point of view. Instead, it is easier to explain it using the standards of the magic world.
To put it simply, Wujo Kirie's illness comes from the bloodline ability inherited from her family.
For some unknown reason, Wujo Kirie naturally awakened her bloodline ability without special training. Her body could not bear the burden of bloodline awakening, which resulted in her being bedridden all year round.
‘Wu Tiao and Wu Jing, these two words have the same tone when pronounced in Japanese.’
'Wu Jing, together with Liang Yi, Qi Ye, and Qian Shen, are known as the four great demon exorcism families. Wu Tiao Wuhue's family should be a branch of Wu Jing, right?'
The Wu Jing family inheritance is the sacrificial ability of ancient witches. The family bloodline has the talent of summoning spirits and summoning spirits, but members who can awaken this talent will become blind by looking directly into the underworld.
Miko Kirie's situation is exactly the opposite of that of the previous miko.
The main branch of the Wu Jing family has long since declined, and Wu Tiao, the branch family, has also lost contact with the mysterious world. Wu Jing Wu'e, who has awakened his bloodline, failed to receive formal training and could not bear the increasing physical burden, leading to blindness.
In the original plot, she gained the ability to summon spirits and ghosts under the guidance of someone after she lost her sight.
Now that the source of the disease has been found, the next treatment is relatively simple.
In the words of a magician, Wu Jiao Kirie got sick because the magic circuit generated by the awakening of his bloodline ran rampant in his body and could not find an outlet when his magic circuit was blocked.
"Miss Wu Tiao, the treatment process will be very uncomfortable, please bear with it for the time being."
"Um?"
Wu Tiaowu picture book thought that Mr. "Magician" was just a psychiatrist sent by the hospital to encourage her will, but she did not expect that he really wanted to treat her.
Before Wu Tiao Wuhui came to his senses, Lu Xiao quickly wrote a set of runes on the back of Wu Tiao Wuhui's pale hand with two fingers.
"?(laguz),?(ehwaz),?(jera)!"
The three runes that sank into Wu Tiao Wu Hui's hand gradually merged into one, and the verdant green light extended along her arm.
"This is...um!"
As the light of the runes flowed into Wu Jiao Kirie's chest, she hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out in pain.
"Uh! Uh!"
Sweat oozed from his forehead in large drops, and Wujo Kirie, who had been ill in bed for a long time, endured the pain with determination.
She could feel that the "bad things" that usually bumped around in her body were gradually integrating into a certain "organ" in her body.
A brand new organ that has never been experienced before, called the magic circuit.
Lu Xiao's treatment plan is actually not complicated. To be honest, it is just to forcefully open the blocked magic circuit of Wu Tiao and Wu Hui. However, it is difficult for ordinary magicians to complete this set of operations.
?The function of the rune is to temporarily strengthen Wujo Kirie's body so that she will not collapse during the process of forcibly clearing the magic circuit.
?The runes represent the meaning of harvest and harvest, and are the main force that runs through the magic circuit of witch strips and fog paintings.
The last ? rune is used to heal Wu Jiao Kirie's body that continues to be damaged during the treatment process.
The three runes are all original runes that Lu Xiao completed from Scathach. This alone is a threshold that is difficult for modern magicians to cross.
"Hang in there."
Lu Xiao silently paid attention to Wu Tiao Wuhui's condition. Due to the severe pain of childbirth, Wu Tiao Wuhui couldn't even make a sound, so he just gritted his teeth and tried to hold on.
Her gradually improving physical condition is the source of her strong willpower.
About five minutes later, the light of the runes in Wu Tiao Wu Hui's body finally dissipated, and Wu Tiao Wu Hui, who was dripping with sweat, immediately fell backwards without any strength.
Lu Xiao stepped forward to support her, used magic to dry her body, clothes and quilt sheets, and covered the sleeping Wu Tiao Wuhui with a quilt.
"Sweet dream, descendant of the exorcist family, you will have a brand new life in the future."
Lu Xiao carved his words into the unconscious Wu Tiao Wuhui's soul: "How you choose the direction of the future is up to you."
"If you want to go back to the life you had before you got sick, please ignore what I'm going to say next."
"But if you want to step into another extraordinary world and activate the runes left in your consciousness, I will rush over immediately."
