I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 546 Ten Lifetimes of Reincarnation (4486)

"How to do how to do?"

Shen Shuyao's voice was tight, as if it were being squeezed out from her throat.

She doesn't cry easily at all; she didn't shed a tear while watching "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" or "Mom, Love Me Again."

The only time in recent years I cried while watching a movie was when Lu Jiayan read a web novel called "The Golden Age of 3025" and insisted on dragging her and Fang Yu to watch "Life Is Beautiful".

She remembered feeling sorry for those Jude people when she watched it, while Fang Yu next to her scoffed and said that it was all just playing the victim, that it was all made up, and that they were just taking advantage of the fact that Little Mustache was dead and couldn't speak.

But this afternoon, she felt like she had cried all the tears she had in her life.

Fang Yu held the steering wheel with his left hand and tightly gripped Shen Shuyao's trembling left hand with his right.

He now regrets it a little. He learned about Shen Shuyao's mother's mental health issues on her birthday, but he still didn't take it seriously.

He was also hesitant, because the treatment plan he had come up with seemed a bit inhumane.

Looking back now, what kind of humanity is there in treating the mentally ill?

I should have intervened earlier. If it can be cured, great; if not, then that old woman is just unlucky.

Upon receiving the news, he immediately grabbed Shen Shuyao and ran, driving straight to the First Hospital.

Lu Jiayan was completely confused. He called Fang Yu and learned that something had happened to Shen Shuyao's family.

She's a little jealous sometimes, but she won't throw a tantrum when something really happens. She just told Fang Yu not to drive too fast and to be careful.

After Fang Yu got in the car, he asked Youzi to check the medical system of the First Hospital to find out the specific situation of Shu Jianfeng and Shen Lijun.

The First Hospital uses Jiaxun's HIS (Hospital Information System). Jiaxun has a partnership with Youzi Technology and has already piloted a CIS (Clinical Information System) with built-in Youzi big data model in some hospitals to help doctors make diagnoses and treatments based on various test results.

Yuzu took over the First Hospital's HIS system almost without any hindrance and easily found out the two people's specific information.

Thankfully, he's not dead. He's being resuscitated, and based on the blood test results, it shouldn't be fatal.

A quick glance at the medical record revealed natural gas poisoning.

However, since he didn't die, it's not a big deal. This level of poisoning is nothing more than a matter of "removing the toxins" and "treatment".

"I just called my aunt and asked her to contact the First Hospital and do everything they can to save her."

Fang Yu squeezed Shen Shuyao's hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here, your uncle and aunt will be fine."

Hearing Fang Yu's calm voice, Shen Shuyao was noticeably less nervous, but she still sobbed uncontrollably: "It's all my fault, I should have answered her call, I knew... Waaah..."

With the rain and rush hour, cars on the road moved like snails. According to the navigation, a short four-kilometer journey would take forty minutes.

Impatient, Fang Yu snapped his fingers and instantly teleported to the entrance of the First Hospital via the ethereal realm.

Shen Shuyao hadn't yet escaped the vortex of self-blame and panic when she suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes, as if she had taken a nap. When she opened her eyes again, the car had already stopped.

Shen Shuyao was in a state of confusion and thought she was just being silly. She didn't feel anything was wrong and just subconsciously followed Fang Yu to the door of the emergency room.

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a gray overcoat, was holding a phone and pacing around the entrance of the emergency room while making a call.

"Uncle, how are my parents? What exactly happened?" Shen Shuyao rushed over to the middle-aged man in the gray coat. Although there was still some worry and panic in her eyes, her expression had completely returned to normal.

The middle-aged man was named Zhang Wei, Shen Shuyao's uncle-in-law.

Zhang Wei turned to Shen Shuyao and nodded, then continued on the phone, "Shuyao has arrived. I'll talk to you later, just hurry up. Okay, I know. I've already paid the deposit."

Then, Zhang Wei let out a sigh of relief and said in a casual tone, "Shu Yao is here. It must have been quite congested on the way. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. Your aunt is still stuck in traffic."

"Your aunt and I went to Japan for vacation a few days ago and brought back a toilet seat for your dad. Yesterday, I arranged to deliver it to him at four o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as I walked in the door, I smelled a strong gas odor, and then I found..."

In the past two years, I don't know who started this trend, but many people who travel to Japan bring back toilet seats, which are actually all made in China.

Zhang Wei briefly explained the situation, then reassured them, "Don't worry, they've already been taken inside. I just asked the doctor, and they were brought in in time. They're in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber now, so they shouldn't be in any danger."

Hearing Zhang Wei say that, Shen Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes reddened again. Fang Yu patted Shen Shuyao's back comfortingly.

Zhang Wei looked curiously at Fang Yu standing next to Shen Shuyao.

Is this... my niece's simp classmate?

My niece has had many boys pursuing her since she was little. She seems gentle and kind, but she actually has very high standards. I've never heard of her taking a liking to any of her peers, let alone having a boyfriend.

However, the young man is tall and handsome, and the two of them look quite good together.

"And who is this?" Zhang Wei asked Fang Yu with a probing look.

"This is my boyfriend, Fang Yu." Before Fang Yu could speak, Shen Shuyao interjected, a blush spreading across her fair cheeks.

Fang Yu nodded in agreement: "Hello, Uncle-in-law. Just call me Xiao Fang. I just heard on the phone that you paid the deposit upfront? Could you give me your WeChat payment QR code so I can transfer the deposit back to you?"

What?! Is he really my boyfriend?

Judging from my niece's expression, it seems like she was the one who initiated it? But judging from the young man's appearance, he doesn't even ask how much the deposit is, he just says he'll transfer the money.

"The hospital just asked me to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan per person, and I've already paid 20,000 yuan. My older brother and... uh, my sister-in-law are currently in the emergency room, and we might have to pay more after the test results come out."

Zhang Wei didn't stand on ceremony either; Shu Jianfeng and Shen Lijun's income levels were no lower than his, the sales manager of a small private hardware company.

While transferring money to Zhang Wei, Fang Yu used his mental power to probe the emergency room.

Shu Jianfeng and Shen Lijun both wore oxygen masks, had several electrode patches on their chests, and had blood oxygen sensors clipped to their fingers. The heart rate monitor beeped from time to time.

The medical staff in the emergency room were not busy, indicating that the critical period had basically passed.

Are Shu Jianfeng and Shen Lijun's family members here?

Sure enough, a nurse peeked out of the emergency room a moment later and called out. Shen Shuyao quickly stepped forward: "I'm their daughter. How are my parents?"

When the nurse saw Shen Shuyao, her expression softened slightly: "Your mother is out of danger, but she's still not fully awake. She can be transferred to a regular ward. Your father still needs to be observed in the emergency room. You only need one person here. Send someone to complete their admission procedures."

As she spoke, a stretcher was pushed out of the emergency room. Shen Shuyao looked at her mother on the stretcher, whose eyes were closed but whose face was still full of anger. Her feelings and expression were extremely complicated.

When Shen Lijun and Shu Jianfeng were still in danger, she was only worried. But now that Shen Lijun has been saved, she really doesn't know how to face this mother who has harmed both herself and others.

Just as there are no perfect children, there are no perfect parents.

Most children feel both resentment and affection towards their parents.

Of course, not everyone can understand what "family affection" means.

For example, the oddballs who are now full of talk about old Deng's gold coins and biological fathers.

Even if Shu Jianfeng is cowardly, incompetent, and prone to escapism, he is still her biological father.

Shen Shuyao was indeed disappointed in her father, but the scene of her father carrying her to buy candy when she was a child was also unforgettable in her mind.

To be precise, aside from being a coward and a mama's boy, Shu Jianfeng didn't actually do anything wrong. Almost all the conflicts in the family were directly caused by Shen Lijun.

She actually wanted to drag her father down with her?

"Okay, I'll go upstairs with Auntie. You wait here for Uncle. Uncle, could you please help me with the hospital admission procedures? I'll transfer another 30,000 yuan to you as a hospital deposit."

Fang Yu noticed Shen Shuyao's emotions and spoke calmly. Hearing Fang Yu's words, Shen Shuyao visibly relaxed and nodded gratefully.

In that instant, she suddenly thought of Yui Aragaki's new anime series this month, which was making her look more and more like a man, and felt that she understood her father a little better.

While escaping is shameful, it can sometimes be quite effective.

Zhang Wei subconsciously responded, and just as he turned to go to the window, he suddenly froze.

This guy had only known him for a short time, yet he assigned him tasks without any social anxiety, and even thought that he might need to pay a deposit to complete the hospital admission procedures.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but glance at Fang Yu a couple more times.

Before Fang Yu could transfer the money, Zhang Wei saw several middle-aged men in white coats striding towards the emergency room.

The middle-aged man leading the group had a dignified appearance, a square face, and wore expensive-looking glasses. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and all the doctors and nurses who passed by stopped to greet him.

"Dean Hong."

"Hello, Dean."

"Hong Yuan".

The hospital director? The director of the First Hospital?
Oh right, I think I heard something when the First Hospital was bidding for window openers last time. The First Hospital's president's surname is Hong, what was his name again?

I remember now, Hong Yang.

He is said to have studied at the Mayo Clinic and is a surgical expert specializing in cancer treatment, though he is unsure what kind of cancer it is.

Zhang Wei looked curiously at the tall and burly Hong Yang, wondering what this renowned oncology expert, who was famous throughout the medical community of Da Zhou, was doing in the emergency room.

Hong Yang, with his dignified appearance, simply nodded slightly, his expression remaining unchanged.

Before reaching the emergency room, Hong Yang stopped and looked around with the other two middle-aged men. They whispered a few words to each other, and then he immediately put on a smiling face and walked over to meet Zhang Wei's surprised gaze.

"Mr. Fang, I just found out you were here. I'm so sorry, why didn't you let me know beforehand?"

Hong Yang reached out his hand from a distance, a warm and polite smile on his face, and his pace quickened slightly compared to usual.

Mr. Fang?
Zhang Wei blinked and looked around. Who was General Manager Fang?
Eh eh eh?
Holy crap! It's Shu Yao's boyfriend!
Fang Yu put his phone away, stepped forward and shook hands with Hong Yang, but there was no smile on his face.

"There was an accident in my family, carbon monoxide poisoning. Our hospital's double rooms are in short supply, so I wanted to ask Director Zhang to coordinate something. I didn't expect to bother you."

Seeing Fang Yu's expression, Hong Yang immediately stopped smiling and put on a compassionate expression: "Not at all, it's only right, it's a matter of life and death."

After saying that, Hong Yang whispered a few words to the head nurse who was smiling obsequiously beside him. The head nurse immediately nodded and turned to operate the computer.

"Dr. Hong, everything's arranged. Ward 3, 11th floor, Block B, National Clinic."

The head nurse ran to Hong Yang's side and whispered a report.

Ward 3, National Clinic, Building B?
Aren't hospital inpatient wards usually arranged by bed? When did room numbers become available?

Zhang Wei blinked repeatedly, utterly shocked.

Just who is this niece's husband?
One phone call was all it took to summon Hong Yang to personally oversee the treatment plan?
When did the hospital become like this?

Hong Yang coughed and said, "Alright, Xiao Qiu, take the patient's family over there. Who's in charge of the emergency room right now?"

“It’s Li Gaofei, Attending Physician Li,” Head Nurse Qiu replied immediately.

"Li Gaofei?" Hong Yang frowned. "Doesn't the emergency center have a single on-duty associate senior physician? Why is there only an attending physician?"

Head Nurse Qiu smiled ingratiatingly, thinking to herself, "How many directors and deputy directors are there in the emergency center? It's just carbon monoxide poisoning; the situation isn't complicated."

"Call Director Meng and ask him to come back as soon as possible. He is quite adept at handling this kind of situation, so let him oversee it. Also, after the patient regains consciousness, notify the neurology and rehabilitation departments for a joint consultation."

Hong Yang gave a few instructions to a middle-aged doctor behind him, who took notes in a small notebook and then turned to make a phone call.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Hong. I will personally visit you to express my gratitude after the patient is discharged."

Fang Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Hong Yang, his words sincere.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Hong Yang, the nurse pushed the stretcher and took Fang Yu from the inpatient lobby to the 11th floor of Building B via a private elevator.

The 11th floor of Building B at the First Hospital is the legendary special needs apartment, a 100-square-meter two-bedroom, one-living-room unit with a private bathroom, LCD TV, refrigerator, microwave, leather sofa, coffee table, wardrobe... everything you could need, plus a dedicated small kitchen and a separate living area.

Even the nurses were specially selected.

"Thank you, I can take care of myself. You can go ahead with your work. The patient has just recovered and needs to rest more. Don't come in unless called."

As the nurses transferred Shen Lijun to the hospital bed, Fang Yu drew a circle with his finger in front of the two nurses, and a slight mental fluctuation spread out.

Suggestion.

The two young nurses blushed slightly, their hearts pounded, and they obediently left the room.

As soon as the nurse left, Fang Yu saw Shen Lijun's fingers twitch and her eyeballs under her eyelids roll rapidly, clearly indicating that she was about to wake up.

Fang Yu ignored Shen Lijun and waved his hand, and a bundle of black incense appeared in his palm.

This is not an arcane material brought from Lorraine Tower, but rather the finest ebony produced in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Afterwards, Fang Yu sprinkled ten small piles of white powder around Shen Lijun's hospital bed.

"Itero Tenebris Anima Vinculo!"

Fang Yu tossed the incense sticks into the air, and the ten incense sticks seemed to be drawn by invisible threads, drawing beautiful arcs in the air and landing accurately in the center of the ten piles of white powder!
Then the ten incense sticks glowed slightly, wisps of smoke rose, and they ignited without a flame.

Shen Lijun frowned, her eyelids slightly open, and in her dazed state, she seemed to see a blurry, tall figure.

"Tenebris Iterum Somnium Anima Fragmentum!"

Fang Yu recited the incantation again.

Visually, it seems that nothing has changed.

If observed through mental power, it could be seen that Fang Yu recited another incantation, and as soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the entire room plummeted and the lights went out instantly.

The smoke from the ten incense sticks did not dissipate like ordinary smoke, but gathered in mid-air. The incense sticks burned faster and faster, and when they burned to the base, ten oval-shaped smoke clouds appeared around Shen Lijun's hospital bed!

"Recludo Anima In Somnia Aeterna!"

As Fang Yu uttered his last incantation, the ten smoke clouds suddenly began to churn violently!

"Only you can change yourself. You have ten chances. Only by finding the right path can you find liberation."

Shen Lijun felt dizzy and only felt that the tall figure said something and then seemed to reach out a finger and gently tap her forehead.

"Ahhhhhhh~"

Shen Lijun involuntarily let out a scream that sounded as if her soul was being torn apart.

Then, Shen Lijun felt as if she was floating, and her consciousness was involuntarily sucked into one of the smoke balls!
"Whether you can escape the cycle of reincarnation after ten lifetimes depends on yourself."

"If you can escape, it means you have truly changed; if you cannot escape, you can only wallow in dreams until the end of your life."

Fang Yu waved his hand, and the ten clumps of ashes on the ground completely disappeared.
