Chapter 182

Time passed, the sun set and the moon rose.

When Lin Que finished giving Kasumi Akatsuki a full-body massage and left her private office, the time had already reached night.

Having helped others for once and relaxed Kasumi Akatsuki, Lin Que was in a pretty good mood and didn't return to the Tomb of the Deep Sea directly through the power of the realm.

"Let me see... it should be here."

Walking in the staff passage of the MAR Medical Center, Lin Que turned left and right all the way until he arrived in a vast hall.

There weren't many people in the hall. Lin Que scanned left and right, and his gaze landed on a girl wearing a school uniform with a black ponytail.

The other party was currently sitting alone in the corner of the hall, with a look of deep sadness on her face.

Perhaps realizing that this wasn't good, she took off the pair of plain, rustic glasses on her face, raised her arm to wipe the corners of her eyes, and tried to wipe away the tears.

But clearly, that was just futile effort.

Even though she kept trying to calm down, tears still couldn't stop sliding from her eyes, wetting her beautiful face.

Also realizing this, the girl prepared to get up and go to the washroom to wash her face and let herself calm down.

But just then, a palm reached out first and handed her a few candies.

"Do you want to eat?"

Lin Que recommended: "This is a special candy I got from a pumpkin head. I heard it's very popular among children."

"I've tasted a few, and the taste is indeed quite good."

"Uh, thanks."

Not expecting to be spoken to, Asagi Aiba took the candy with some surprise and looked up at the man in front of her.

"That... may I ask who you are?"

"As for me, I'm just a kind person who happened to pass by after hearing the cries of a helpless girl."

Confirming that the power trying to guide him here came from the girl in front of him, Lin Que smiled and sat down on the North North North Side.

"Why are you so sad? Did something happen?"

"My mother has a terminal illness."

Seeing that Lin Que was interested in listening to her, Asagi Aiba, who was under some pressure, pursed her lips and replied.

"She has been staying at MAR for several days, but she hasn't gotten any better."

"The attending physician just told us that the test results are out, and my mother has a terminal illness that currently has no cure."

MAR is a world-famous magic industry complex, involving an extremely wide range of fields, from military weapons to general food.

And among these many industries, MAR's treatment level is still at the world's top level.

If the MAR attending physician says it's a terminal illness, it's basically equivalent to a death notice.

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes again, Asagi Aiba's voice was filled with sadness.

"According to the doctor, even if we use the world's top treatment equipment, she can only hold on for a few more months."

Lin Que showed a look of understanding: "I see, that is indeed very desperate."

This kind of separation with a basically determined time limit is indeed very hard for people to accept.

But to be honest, Lin Que has seen too many of these things.

Just the despair he created by killing people is already more than he can count.

Like the separation caused by a terminal illness, in the past, even if Lin Que knew about it, he would probably just comfort them a few words and leave.

But this time it's a bit different. Through mind reading during the conversation just now, Lin Que had already confirmed the identity of the girl in front of him.

The heroine in the original work of the Blood-Stained World, Asagi Aiba, who has identities such as the Electronic Empress and the Priestess of Cain.

"Looking at it this way, the power just now was the legendary Feng Shui art that shrouded the entire Itogami Island."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Lin Que suddenly change the subject, a look of confusion appeared on Asagi Aiba's face.

"Feng Shui art? Do you mean that unique spell from the East?"

"Yeah." Lin Que nodded: "I didn't expect you to be so young, but you know quite a lot."

"After all, this is a demon special zone, and elementary school teaches similar things, so it's normal to know a bit more."

Although the topic went off track, Asagi Aiba, who didn't want to talk much about her mother's affairs anyway, asked.

"What about you, why did you suddenly bring this up? Could it be that your appearance here is not a coincidence?"

"Of course not."

Lin Que pointed to his ear: "Didn't I just say it? I came here after hearing the cries of a helpless girl."

Itogami Island is a huge altar built through Feng Shui art and special craft materials, and the ultimate goal is to resurrect Cain.

As the priestess of Cain, everything on this island is Asagi Aiba's companion, and all coincidences and inevitabilities will protect her.

Just now, Lin Que felt that power, so he followed it all the way here and ran into Asagi Aiba.

"...I have to say, your luck is really good."

Lin Que smiled: "If it were normal, I basically wouldn't come to a place like a hospital."

"But you just happened to appear here on the day I came, making me notice your situation."

"You suddenly said something I don't understand."

Asagi Aiba asked with some confusion: "Could it be that your appearance here can cure my mother's illness?"

"Of course I can."

"Ah?"

Asagi Aiba's expression was stunned, and then a complex look appeared on her face.

"Although I know you are comforting me, please don't say things like that."

The more she hears, the sadder she will be.

"I've been doubted again."

Lin Que shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, things that go beyond common sense are indeed hard for people to accept."

"Are you serious?"

Seeing that Lin Que didn't seem to be comforting her, Asagi Aiba's expression also became serious.

"You don't even know what illness my mother has, why are you sure you have a way to cure her?"

"Because my treatment is not treatment in the conventional sense."

Lin Que took out a bottle of evolution potion and handed it toward Asagi Aiba: "Do you want to try it? After drinking it, you can evolve into a higher life form."

"Those so-called terminal illnesses in your eyes don't even need to be actively cured; they will disappear naturally."
