Why is my anime art style so weird?

The problem was indeed inside the hospital!

Xu Ming wandered around the hospital again, but this time his luck seemed to have run out, and he didn't find any more useful clues.

Moreover, Xu Ming learned indirectly that the hospital seemed to offer very high salaries; the staff were all quite tight-lipped.

Trying to elicit information indirectly, besides arousing suspicion, rarely yields any useful information.

Xu Ming quickly stopped his investigation and returned to Ryougi Shiki's ward.

Ryougi Shiki remained quietly leaning against the headboard, facing the window, as if her posture hadn't changed since he left.

"Miss Ryougi, would you like me to bring you some food?"

Xu Ming asked a polite question.

Ryougi Shiki replied coldly:

"The hospital will take care of it, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xu Ming shrugged and found a seat against the wall.

Out of boredom, he began to look around the ward.

As expected of a VIP ward, it is nearly 100 square meters in size and has everything you could need, including a TV, a small refrigerator, and air conditioning. The bathroom is also a private bathroom.

Chapter 116 Ryougi Shiki Possessed

After observing for a while, Xu Ming got bored and picked up his phone.

He thought for a moment and then sent a message to Megumi Kato.

Kato Megumi replied quickly.

The result, however, greatly surprised Xu Ming.

This hospital may have only recently developed problems; Kato Megumi doesn't have any relevant information.

However, another piece of information she provided was quite interesting to Xu Ming.

The real owner behind this hospital is the Liangyi family.

This is Ryougi Shiki's own property!?

The Liangyi family is indeed a traditional, wealthy, and powerful family.

That makes sense, though. The Ryougi family is a traditional exorcist family, with a much stronger foundation than him, a self-taught individual.

It doesn't make sense that he can earn so much money; an established family can't even compare to him alone.

Xu Ming was passing the time by looking at his phone when, without realizing it, the sun began to slant and slowly set below the horizon, leaving only a crimson afterglow.

Midway through the meal, the nurse brought Ryougi Shi's dinner.

Xu Ming glanced at it and saw that it was indeed very lavish, not only containing various nutrients, but also consisting almost entirely of the highest-grade ingredients.

However, when he saw one of the dishes, he almost burst out laughing.

That was a dessert called—Papaya Stewed with Snow Frog…

It must be said that this hospital is indeed the private property of the Liangyi family.

They really think too much about their young lady.

------

The night is getting darker.

The cold moonlight shone into the ward, making the temperature seem to drop several degrees.

The window was left ajar, causing the curtains to flutter in the wind.

The dappled shadows of the trees outside the window swayed, casting menacing shadows on the wall, like some unknown monster.

Whether Ryougi Shiki was genuinely indifferent or had absolute confidence in her abilities, she simply lay down and fell asleep, completely disregarding the presence of a man in the room.

Xu Ming shook his head with a wry smile. This young lady really didn't care at all about what others thought.

Oh well, it's only been two days anyway...

The ward was quiet, and Xu Ming could even clearly hear Ryougi Shiki's even breathing as she lay on the hospital bed.

She seemed to have truly fallen asleep peacefully.

Time passed second by second, and the clock hand gradually pointed to midnight.

As Xu Ming was about to lie down on the sofa for a short rest, he sensed that the atmosphere around him... no! To be precise, the entire hospital atmosphere was starting to feel a little off.

If the hospital exudes a peaceful and serene atmosphere during the day, now, a chilling, deathly aura quietly permeates the air.

A chill seemed to emerge from nowhere, like tiny insects trying to burrow into Xu Ming's body.

Xu Ming shivered and sat up from the sofa.

I can't fall asleep like this.

Just as he was about to find a blanket to cover himself with.

扣！

扣！

A soft knocking sound suddenly came from outside the window.

Xu Ming looked out the window with some confusion, but there was nothing there.

He scratched the back of his head, went to the cabinet in the ward, and began rummaging through the blankets.

扣！

Before they had searched for a while, the strange knocking sound started again.

Xu Ming turned to look at the window again, but there was still nothing there.

Xu Ming seemed to be thinking about something, then turned around and continued rummaging through the cupboard, and soon found a new blanket.

He took out the blanket and was about to turn back.

Buckle up!

The knocking sound resumed, becoming clearer and more rapid.

This time... the sound came from behind Xu Ming!

As soon as Xu Ming turned around, he saw a woman wearing a white hospital gown, with a livid face and long, trailing hair, slowly crawling out of the closet.

She seemed to notice Xu Ming's gaze, slowly raised her head, and revealed a deathly pale face and an extremely eerie smile to Xu Ming.

To her utter surprise, Xu Ming also laughed.

He smiled, took his phone out of his pocket, and pointed it at the woman.

Click!

With a soft sound, the entire ward was suddenly illuminated, then quickly returned to calm.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Ryougi Shiki's voice came.

Xu Ming turned his head and found that Ryougi Shiki had sat up in bed at some point.

Beneath the white gauze, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were peering through it, staring intently at me.

Xu Ming raised his phone and waved it.

"Something dirty got into the room, I'll clean it up."

Ryougi Shiki fell silent again, and the ward once more descended into a cold silence.

After a while, Ryougi Shiki suddenly said softly:

"Thanks…"

Then Ryougi Shiki lay down again, and soon her even breathing could be heard.

She seems to have fallen asleep again.

'This must be a thank you to me...'

Xu Ming thought to himself with some uncertainty.

He didn't dwell on it, simply put his phone back in his pocket, then summoned the little piglet and telepathically commanded it:

"Chunxue, could you please work the night shift? Wake me up immediately if anything happens."

The little piglet immediately raised its hoof and gave a military salute.

'no problem!'

At home, it would keep watch at night while playing games.

It's a professional in this area.

Xu Ming nodded, lay down on the sofa with peace of mind, covered himself with a blanket, and began to close his eyes to rest.

The ward fell silent again.

Meanwhile, at the nurses' station not far from the ward, a young and pretty nurse was sitting behind the counter, absentmindedly dialing her phone.

If Xu Ming were to come out and take a look, he would definitely recognize her as Miwako, the nurse who had been hiding behind the bushes and plotting with Dr. Tanaka.

Miwako's eyes suddenly lit up. She saw Dr. Tanaka pretending to make rounds and sauntering to the nurses' station.

Dr. Tanaka looked around, then winked at Miwako, who nodded in understanding.

Dr. Tanaka then walked into a room behind the nurses' station.

Miwako put down her work and followed him into the room.

Click!

The door closed, followed by the sound of it being locked from the inside.

A moment later, a slightly suppressed, soft breathing sound came from inside the door...

Inside ward V304, the little piglet is playing with a mobile phone.

Suddenly it heard a noise, and looked up.
