First contact

The next day, Bai Mo received a special leave granted by the dean, and he planned to go and see the Shiki Ryougi.

The system summoned him to Mifune City, which must be something special. Unfortunately, he was tricked into the Giant Shark Heavenly King's space right before entering the gate of Shiki Ryougi. He would never believe that woman was completely innocent.

As Bai Mo passed through the lobby, a bespectacled man with a gentle appearance and a classic Japanese "warm guy" vibe quickly approached him. He looked somewhat anxious and asked, "Hello, are you Dr. Bai Mo?"

"It's me. What can I do for you?"

Mikiya Kokutou said, "Um, I just wanted to ask you for confirmation, Shiki, did she really attack you?"

Ryougi Shiki was Shiki Ryougi under police surveillance, who believed she was closely connected to a serial murder case. However, after Ryougi Shiki was hospitalized due to Shiki Ryougi, the Shiki Ryougi was highly suspected. In addition, she had just woken up and Bai Mo, who was in charge of treating her, was injured. If she were not the eldest daughter of the Ryougi Family, she would have been approached by the police long ago.

"Unless her head can turn into a shark or a crocodile, a woman of this age wouldn't normally be able to inflict wounds of this severity. My injuries have nothing to do with Shiki Ryougi."

Bai Mo explained, which relieved Mikiya Kokutou. He quickly patted his chest, realizing he had been too worried. A girl who had been unconscious for so long could wake up and immediately kill someone; she wasn't an ordinary Japanese high school girl, but Michael Myers.

"Are you Shiki Ryougi's boyfriend?"

Bai Mo's question made Mikiya a little embarrassed. He smiled and explained, "No, I'm just her friend. How is things on Shi's side?"

"I was just about to go check on things. So, don't move around here, I'll be right back." With that, Bai Mo stepped onto the hospital elevator, leaving Mikiya somewhat bewildered. In the end, Gan could only obediently stay where he was.

"This doctor is really efficient and decisive."

Upon opening the door to Shiki Ryougi's hospital room, the girl's glasses were already bandaged.

"You want to blind yourself as soon as you wake up? Haven't you had enough sleep?" Bai Mo approached Shiki Ryougi step by step. Shiki sensed someone coming and said with some dissatisfaction, "I remember saying that I didn't want the doctor on duty to bother me."

"I'm not on duty today, so I'm not a doctor on call. For me right now, I can go wherever I want in this hospital, except for the women's restroom."

"Tsk, can anyone become a doctor these days?"

Bai Mo extended a finger and lightly touched Shiki Ryougi's forehead, the speed so fast that Ryougi Shiki couldn't react at all, and Shiki Ryougi was greatly shocked. Bai Mo withdrew her finger, her brows slightly furrowed. This woman's eyes were very different; their intricate structure surprised even Bai Mo. But apart from that, this body seemed to have nothing special. Was it truly nothing, or was it just not yet manifesting? Or perhaps I couldn't detect it?

"You can take off the bandages now. I've already healed the injuries you caused by self-harm. Please keep this a secret."

"You're not a doctor, are you?" Shiki Ryougi asked.

No, I am a doctor now.

"Are you happy to fool me? If all doctors had your abilities, the average lifespan would have already exceeded two hundred years."

For some reason, Shiki Ryougi seemed to be talking more, perhaps out of curiosity about Bai Mo. In response, Bai Mo walked to the door and explained earnestly.

"Some people are highly skilled in medicine, while others only use folk remedies. A profession is not determined by a person's ability, and whether someone is a doctor is not determined by a medical certificate, but by whether their actions conform to the path of a physician."

Bai Mo opened the door and continued, "So, if I only use this power to save lives and cure illnesses, how can I not be considered a doctor?"

"Okay, I got it. You're not a doctor, you're a philosopher."

Shiki Ryougi still hadn't removed her bandages. She made a sound, but no one answered. By this time, Bai Mo had already left Shiki Ryougi's room.

There's not much more information about Shiki Ryougi right now, but we still need to keep an eye on her. This is just a gut feeling, I guess. Let's go talk to her puppy boyfriend downstairs. Bai Mo arrived at the hall, where Mikiya standing still, motionless like a student in military training.

Upon seeing Bai Mo, Mikiya quickly approached. Bai Mo explained, "Her physical condition has improved, but she has significant psychological issues, so she'll likely remain hospitalized for some time..."

As she spoke softer and softer, Bai Mo's gaze shifted from Mikiya, her eyes filled with disbelief, which puzzled Mikiya as well.

"Dr. Bai Mo, what are you looking at?"

Mikiya followed Bai Mo's gaze and saw only a potted plant in a vase, nothing else. But in Bai Mo's eyes, it was completely different. There was a long-haired beauty in a kimono, like a cloud in the sky.

But what shocked Bai Mo was not her beauty, but her perception. Bai Mo's Magnetic Field Sensing told him that there was no one there, but her eyes clearly presented this fact to him.

This woman was none Shiki Ryougi. At this moment, she was completely different from the aloof and unapproachable person she had been in the ward. Instead, she gave Bai Mo a gentle, spring-like smile.

Can't you see her?

Bai Mo Mikiya Gan Ye, Mikiya was somewhat confused, "What do you see? A potted plant?"

Bai Mo left, abandoning Mikiya, and headed straight for Shiki Ryougi. The next moment, as if playing hide-and-seek with a friend, she walked into a hospital room and disappeared. When she opened the door, there was no trace of Shiki Ryougi around her; it was as if it had just been a hallucination.

"Dr. Bai Mo, what's wrong?"

Mikiya caught up. Bai Mo's speed had startled him. Bai Mo's face was somewhat gloomy. Looking at Mikiya, whose eyes were clear, he rubbed his forehead.

"This hospital seems to be haunted."
