Chapter 191
Looking at the densely packed information on the screen, Shirou felt a chill run down his spine.
Are you alright?
Shirou looked away from the computer and asked.
It was just a polite greeting; the other person seemed like the kind of person who could collapse at any moment.
Shirou was just trying to use this to lead into the next sentence.
"Would you like me to make you something to eat?"
If I remember correctly, there was some soup left over from yesterday, and noodles are always kept on hand here.
Making a simple noodle soup is no problem.
"Yes, thank you, but not too much."
Upon hearing Shirou's words, Minmin agreed without hesitation and watched Shirou walk away.
Then she continued to busy herself with organizing and improving the information in front of her.
You should know that what she's busy with right now is data related to Shirou. If it weren't for Shirou, she wouldn't have to work so hard.
The main reason is that Shirou's blood test was too horrifying.
The density of the Blood Originium crystals is zero!
Zero!
Unlike determining the degree of fusion between the somatic cells and Originium of an infected person, the density of Originium in blood will always be present to some extent.
The reason is that there is some Originium in the air.
The main route of infection is not only through contact with Originium, but also because of inadequate protective measures, such as inhaling large amounts of Originium dust, which increases the density of Originium crystals in the blood and leads to infection.
Simply put, anyone who can breathe should have some Originium in their body, but the amount is small enough not to cause infection.
There will be at least 0.01 ul, after all, a person can't stop breathing, right?
Furthermore, Shirou was hit by Originium Bomb; it's a miracle he didn't become an Infected. And you're telling me his blood Originium crystal density is even zero!?
She was a smart person and knew the seriousness of the matter, so she spoke with Shirou alone as soon as possible and told him not to tell anyone else about it.
This situation is extremely rare. If it were targeted by someone with malicious intent... it wouldn't be dangerous, at most it would just cause Shirou a little trouble?
After hearing Minmin's explanation, Shirou realized the seriousness of the matter, so he kept her words in mind and tried his best to keep the matter hidden.
All she could do was keep it a secret from other organizations.
However, Shirou's case is extremely rare and has great research value, so Minmin specially drew two vials of blood for preservation, intending to organize the data and send them to the Rhodes Island main ship as experimental samples.
She can guarantee that Rhodes Island will not take any overstepping actions.
Shirou also felt there was no problem. The two sides had been cooperating for quite some time, and he had a fairly good impression of the other Rhodes Island operators, namely everyone in the office, as well as Rosemary and Blaze.
So Minmin personally organized this document in her spare time.
About ten minutes later, she smelled a faint fragrance and then saw Shirou walk in carrying two large bowls.
"The noodle soup is here. The soup is leftover from last night's Fowlbeast Soup. In addition to the noodles, I also added an egg and sprinkled some chopped green onions."
Shirou placed one of the bowls of noodle soup in front of Minmin and briefly explained what ingredients he had added.
"Thanks, ouch—"
After thanking Shirou, Minmin picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
In the past, I either skipped breakfast or ate bread, but these past two days, with Shirou taking care of me, my diet has returned to normal.
Although children sometimes come, it's only during lunch and evening hours.
You still have to make your own breakfast.
In no time, Minmin finished the soup noodles in her hand.
After a busy night, the discomfort from staying up late was much better once my empty stomach was filled.
"Just leave the bowl there, I'll clean it up later."
Seeing Minmin finish a whole bowl of noodles in a flash, Shirou really wanted to say that it wasn't good to eat so fast on an empty stomach, but thinking about how she would immediately get back to work after finishing, Shirou found it hard to say those words.
The only thing we can do now is teach the children to cook some easier-to-eat and easier-to-digest foods.
"Thank you for your help. You're being discharged from the hospital today, right?"
Minmin placed the bowl on the empty table beside her and noticed the neat arrangement of Shirou's hospital bed, realizing that he was supposed to be discharged today.
Is this life of having three meals a day taken care of, plus fruit after meals, coming to an end...?
I'm a little reluctant to part with it.
Minmin used to hear the children say that Shirou was like a mother to them, and she thought they just regarded Shirou, who helped them, as a very important person.
I never expected it to mean exactly what it said!
"Well, I'm fine, so staying here would feel like I'm hogging the bed."
"Swallow what's in your mouth, "Shirou replied.
"No, we won't. We'll just find an empty hospital bed to lie down in when we're tired anyway."
Minmin originally wanted to say that it was okay to continue to occupy it, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to say it.
The other party has their own things to do, and we can't let them be delayed because of such a small matter.
Although I am a little reluctant to part with it.
Really, it's just a tiny bit.
"It's good that it didn't cause any trouble."
Hearing Minmin's words, Shirou felt a sense of relief.
He thought that by occupying the bed like this, he was causing trouble for others.
"Don't worry about it too much. After all, you sponsored the research materials, and everyone really likes your cooking and even helped repair some appliances..."
Noticing that Shirou seemed to be under some psychological pressure about this matter, Minmin added more details about what Shirou had helped with, trying to reassure him not to take it too seriously.
She had met this type of person before.
Feeling that they had done something wrong, they kept trying to make amends in various ways. Even though they had done a lot, the other person's mindset remained the same, and they only forgot about these things when they were busy.
While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, from a doctor's perspective, it's still quite dangerous.
This is a psychological disorder.
Shirou shows a slight symptom in this regard.
Minmin briefly recalled Shirou's past actions.
Uh...maybe more than a little? It's just that Shirou seems to enjoy doing these things, unlike those who treat their work as self-punishment.
She's not a professional in this area either; if we're really talking about professionals, the ship's own psychotherapist is the one who's truly qualified.
"Thanks, I'll go get you another coffee."
As Minmin continued talking, Shirou knew that she was considering his feelings.
So he suggested getting a cup of coffee, intending to leave the scene for a moment and interrupt the conversation.
He's not very good at handling this kind of conversation, so leaving is the best option.
After washing the empty bowl and returning with a cup of hot milk and coffee, Minmin was already immersed in her work.
This trick works quite well.
After reminding the other person, Shirou placed the coffee on the table and left.
"Hmm... did you bring everything?"
After leaving the ward, Shirou checked to make sure he hadn't left anything behind.
Texas had already taken the Projection image of Crimson Chixiao back and put it away. Now, besides a few sets of clothes, all he had on him was the Holy Shroud on his right hand and the cell phone in his pocket.
He didn't bring his wallet with him to work, so it's still in the Knights of the Round Table's locker and hasn't become as worn out as his original phone and communicator.
"Oh, there's this too?"
While checking his belongings, Shirou took out an orange strip of cloth from his pocket.
This was taken from the Ursus people; if I remember correctly, it should be a symbol of the Reunion Movement.
Back in the snowfields, the Reunion Movement members all had orange strips of cloth tied around their hands.
"It's probably just... imitation, right?"
After comparing the two, Shirou found it difficult to connect the people who wanted to drag ordinary people down with the people he had met on the snowfield.
After all, the infected people on the snowfield were just struggling to survive, which was fundamentally different from these thugs.
After thinking for a moment, Shirou put the orange strip of cloth into his pocket and continued to look for things to do while waiting for the Penguin Logistics staff to come and pick him up.
On the other side, in the Ursus Snowfield.
The woman had silver-white hair, a long sword at her waist, and an orange strip of cloth tied to her left hand.
"Talulah, you're already up? You could rest a bit more."
Looking at the figure in the snowfield, Alina softly called out the other person's name.
"Black Serpent is already taking action. I have to find a way to stop him from using the name of Reunion Movement to do evil, otherwise Reunion Movement will really just be an infected thug organization."
Upon hearing Alina's voice, Talulah turned around and spoke.
In addition to the orange cloth strip on her left hand, she also had a red cloth strip tied on her right hand.
"It's us."
As Alina stepped out of the tent, a red cloth strip was tied around her right hand.
"... Yes, it's us."
Talulah nodded upon hearing the other person's correction.
183 As usual
Nine o'clock in the morning, Rhodes Island office in Lungmen.
Originally, only infected people were supposed to come here for treatment, but thanks to a guy who seemed to be quite popular, the number of people coming and going has increased significantly.
And now, this person is about to leave.
"Yo! Thank you all for taking care of Shirou these past few days. This is Apple Pie."
Exusiai handed three homemade Apple Pie to an operator.
This wasn't something I prepared specifically; it's just that I hadn't gone out to buy ingredients in a long time and got the quantities wrong, so I made extra Apple Pie.
However, as long as Exusiai doesn't say anything, no one will know!
She really knows how to get along with people!
"..."
Texas was standing nearby, could probably guess Exusiai was thinking, but she was too lazy to expose her.
Although the extra pie was made by accident at first, in retrospect, Exusiai did share all of the Apple Pie.
Exusiai easily handle this weight by herself...
Oh, Shirou is back. She probably can't finish it all. No wonder she sent it out.
Thinking of this, Texas slowed down her eating of Pocky.
She's been eating takeout for the past two days, which is making her a little irritable.
"Alright! Shirou, let's go!"
On the other side, Croissant grabbed Shirou and rushed towards the car.
"Don't pull! You'll tear your clothes! And you're way too excited!"
Suddenly grabbed by Croissant, Shirou had no choice but to keep up with Croissant pace as much as possible to avoid ruining his newly bought outfit.
