I was the fourth disaster in Yokohama and was loved by everyone.

Zhu Yu (scratching his head): ......

Otherwise, the player's stamina will immediately be depleted, and they will have to randomly choose a lucky NPC's house to sleep in.

The policewoman was clearly skeptical of her words, but given that she had been busy looking for a bed as soon as she entered the room, completely ignoring the screaming NPC, and hadn't had time to search the NPC's house thoroughly.

So, to outsiders, it just seemed like a little girl with strange behavior had illegally broken into someone's house just to sleep.

When the policewoman learned about her background (orphaned and homeless), she fell silent, gave her a long lecture, and made her apologize to the NPC before letting the matter drop.

After discovering that Zhu Yu had nowhere to go and made it clear that she did not want to go to the orphanage, the policewoman kindly took her in for the night at her home, planning to make further plans in the morning.

After a long and arduous ordeal, Zhu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief as she was able to lie down in bed.

That was close; the player almost fainted on the spot.

[Players are taking a break...]

When I opened my eyes again, it was already daytime in the game.

Zhu Yu walked down the stairs in the morning light, the wooden floorboards creaking slightly.

The aroma of miso soup wafted from the kitchen. The policewoman, or rather, the woman named Natsumi, was busy with her back to her, her long, black hair loosely tied up, and she was wearing a pale yellow apron.

"Good morning, Ms. Xia You!" Zhu Yu raised her hand energetically. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Thanks to the kind NPC who took the player in, otherwise the player would have been lying dead on the street.

Mrs. Xia turned and nodded, a gentle smile appearing in her eyes: "No need, breakfast will be ready soon. Did you sleep well last night?"

"very good."

Instead of sitting down at the dining table to wait for the meal, Zhu Yu curiously examined the photos on the wall.

A qualified player should have a strong desire to explore their surroundings.

It was a family photo, with all three people smiling broadly.

Standing on the left was Xia Youxi, on the right was an adult man, and in the middle was a boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

The whole family of three has black hair and squinty eyes...

Zhu Yu was slightly shocked.

“These are my son and husband.” Xia Youxi paused in setting the table, noticing her gaze on the family photo, and said with emotion, “But they’ve been very busy lately and haven’t been home.”

Xia Youxi invited Zhu Yu to sit down for breakfast and introduced her family situation at the table.

Her husband, Xia Youxin, is an ordinary employee at a company and is currently on a business trip.

Her son, Xia Youjie, is 15 years old and will soon be entering high school. He attends a boarding school and rarely comes home. He is an excellent student in both character and academics.

When talking about her family, Xia Youxi's expression softened, as if she was recalling warm moments with her family.

“Jay is about the same age as you, Kuzi. You two might become good friends.” Xia Youxi smiled gently, pushing a glass of warm milk towards Zhu Yu. “I don’t know why Jay always keeps to himself. If only he had someone his age to talk to…”

——Ding-a-ling!

Xia Youxi's phone suddenly rang.

She nodded apologetically to Zhu Yu and answered the phone: "Hello? What... Jie is injured? Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"

"Did you take Jie to the hospital? Thank you so much!"

Her face turned pale instantly, and her fingers unconsciously clenched her apron.

"Sorry, [Kuzi], I have to go to the hospital right away." She hurriedly took off her apron, her voice tinged with anxiety. "Eat slowly first. If you don't know where to go, just stay home and don't wander off..."

Although she was feeling very uneasy, Xia Youxi tried her best to remain calm in front of Zhu Yu and wanted to settle the child who was all alone first.

The yellow exclamation mark that lit up above Xia Youxi's head was so eye-catching.

[Side Quest: Xia Youxi's son has been hospitalized due to an emergency, and she is rushing to the hospital. Would you be willing to help this mother, who is deeply concerned about her son, resolve her worries?]

Zhu Yu quickly stood up: "Please take me with you!"

“This…” Xia Youxi hesitated for a moment.

Zhu Yu pressed her advantage: "I'm also very worried about Jie Jun and really want to go and see how he is doing."

Jie Jun, right? The players are here to see you!

“Ms. Xia, you kindly took me in, and I would like to repay you in some way. Besides…” Zhu Yu cleared her throat and puffed out her chest proudly, “I do have some experience in treatment.”

As someone well-versed in the art of language, I certainly know which words to use to achieve my goals sometimes.

And it's not exactly lying. As for treatments, they just inject some props, and even if someone's leg is broken, they can be jumping around and doing a tap dance the next second.

Players have a knack for restoring health; everyone who's tried it says it's amazing (thumbs up)

Xia Youxi's expression was complicated. She thought it might be a child's joke, but she didn't want to say anything. She looked at Zhu Yu's eager expression of "Take me with you, take me with you" and sighed.

"Let's hurry, the hospital is..."

Chapter 110 Enrollment in progress

The smell of disinfectant stung Xia Youjie's nose as he lay in the hospital bed, his bandaged arm still throbbing.

Those invisible scratches and bruises that appeared out of nowhere have now become a false cause of illness on the medical record—"accidental fall".

He stared at the white ceiling, and in a daze, he heard the shrill roar of the cursed spirit again.

The ward door was pushed open, and Xia Youxi jogged in.

When she pushed open the door, her fingers were still trembling slightly, and her eyes immediately locked onto her son, who was wrapped in bandages on the hospital bed.

"You child—" Her voice caught in her throat, a mixture of helplessness and heartache, finally turning into a long sigh, "You're so careless, how could you miss a step on the stairs?"

She walked quickly to the bedside, reached out to touch Xia Youjie's arm, but then withdrew as if afraid of hurting him. In the end, she only gently held his hand that was not in a cast.

“I’m fine…” Xia Youjie smiled reassuringly, looking at the other person sitting quietly in the ward. “Luckily, this Mr. Moth kindly brought me to the hospital.”

Xia Youxi thanked him repeatedly.

"You're too kind." A deep voice came from the corner.

A tall man in a black stand-up collar uniform slowly rose from his chair. His body was as heavy as a mountain, and the outline of his muscles bulged like armor under his black clothes. His face was rugged and his eyes were sharp.

At first glance, he looks like someone involved in a gang.

As a police officer, Xia Youxi instinctively became wary. However, when the other party spoke again, it was not about anything she had expected. Instead, he unexpectedly suggested that Xia Youjie enroll in an unknown religious academy.

Xia Youxi frowned, somewhat taken aback: "Huh? Enrollment?"

“Yes.” Moth’s tone was serious, as if discussing a normal college entrance exam. “Our Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu Higher Specialized School is a long-established religious academy that specializes in training students who are interested in religious culture and want to pursue related careers in the future.”

Xia Youxi was slightly taken aback: "Academy of Religion?"

Just then, a small, dark head peeked out from behind her and exclaimed in agreement, "Wow, a religious academy!"

Then, without any hesitation, she walked up to Xia Youjie and poked his arm, which was in a cast: "Hello, Jie-kun, I am [Meichuan Kuzi]."

Xia Youjie: "......" Who are you?

He was startled by the sudden appearance of the person, paused for a moment, and looked at his mother in confusion: Who is this girl?

Ms. Xia received a subtle signal and quickly introduced Zhu Yu in a concise manner.

“Hello.” Xia Youjie responded a beat late, then realized his rudeness and looked up again with a polite smile. “I’m Xia Youjie. It’s nice to meet you.”

The Way of the Night Moth: ...

He realized he hadn't even noticed the girl, paused for a moment, and continued his diligent recruitment efforts.

There exists a mysterious entity in this world that is unknown to the general public—the Cursed Spirit.

Negative human emotions can generate curse power, but ordinary people cannot store the curse power in their bodies, so it dissipates and forms a curse.

Cursed spirits are non-human monsters formed from curses; those without curse power cannot see them.

Because cursed spirits can cause harm to society and human death, groups of sorcerers emerged who used cursed power to exorcise cursed spirits.

Masamichi Nobi is an active sorcerer who possesses the technique "Puppet Manipulation" and also serves as a teacher at the Tokyo Metropolitan Sorcery High School.

The world of sorcery has always adhered to "secrecy," hiding the existence of cursed spirits from ordinary people.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the world, it is like a dark moon obscured by clouds in the night sky, exuding a chilling yet irresistible aura, existing outside the public's perception, silently maintaining its own unique order.

In the Japanese sorcery world, there are only two educational institutions that train the next generation of sorcerers: the Tokyo Metropolitan Sorcery College and the Kyoto Prefectural Sorcery College.

Tokyo High School, which claims to be a religious school but actually trains sorcerers, is desperately short of students. Having finally discovered a wild sorcerer from an ordinary family, Masamichi Yagami declares – we absolutely cannot let this student go!

People with magical talent are extremely rare, and because magical talent can be inherited, various forces have formed in the continuous transmission of this talent through blood ties, with families as the unit.

As a result, most of today's powerful sorcerers come from sorcerer families.

Spellcasters from ordinary families, being far removed from the world of spellcasting and lacking professional guidance, find it difficult to fully utilize their talents. Some even go so far as to never know they possess spellcasting abilities and live in constant fear and anxiety because they can see "monsters."

The moth that rushed to a regular middle school to exorcise the curse after receiving the news from the window was also surprised—when it arrived at the scene, it found a wild sorcerer who had been injured and fainted after fighting the cursed spirit.

After taking the seemingly young sorcerer to the hospital, Moth talked to him and explained the world of sorcery and the existence of sorcery to him.

After a moment's thought, the other party quickly agreed to study at Tokyo College in the future, but... he needed Moth's help to persuade his mother.

Moth was a seasoned recruiter; now, facing the parents of prospective students, he calmly pulled out a well-made brochure from his pocket—a fake recruitment brochure disguised as one from Tokyo Vocational High School—and handed it to Ms. Natsuyou.

"You can see for yourself that our school has a beautiful environment, a strong faculty, free tuition, and we also provide subsidies from time to time. The employment prospects are broad... You can rest assured to let your child study at our school."

With a serious expression, Moth Masakado recited the prepared script.

Xia Youxi opened the booklet with some skepticism. It showed the campus surrounded by lush trees. The playground and dormitory buildings looked very new. She had thought it would be full of old buildings, but now it looked as modern as an ordinary school.

"Jay, do you really want to go?"

As an enlightened parent, Xia Youxi naturally prioritizes her own child's opinion.

After receiving Xia Youjie's affirmative answer, Ms. Xia nodded and said she would discuss the matter with her husband later.

Upon hearing this, Xia Youjie knew that his plans to attend the vocational college were most likely confirmed.

After all, major decisions in the Xia family are always made based on Ms. Xia's opinions, and Mr. Xia rarely objects to things she agrees to.

While they were talking, Zhu Yu had already successfully explored the ward, but found nothing and returned disappointed.

Have the NPCs finally finished talking?

She tilted her head, and seeing that the group had stopped talking, she began to complete her side quest with great interest.

She quickly approached Xia Youjie on the hospital bed, swiftly pried open his mouth, and stuffed the blood-replenishing device into it.

Done!

"Wait, what are you going to do—uh!" Xia Youjie struggled weakly.

Where did this superhuman strength come from...?

He thought desperately.

Chapter 111 Worldview Reshaping

Xia Youjie was caught off guard when his mouth was stuffed full, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The thing had a rice aroma, was fluffy and soft, and surprisingly not bad to eat, but he still subconsciously wanted to spit out the unknown object, but Zhu Yu covered his mouth with her hand.

She has plenty of strength and methods to deal with NPCs who don't eat the player's food.

"Swallow it," Zhu Yu said seriously, her eyes filled with accusation at the NPC for not knowing what was good for her. "Please behave."

Xia Youjie choked so hard that his face turned red at a visible speed, his Adam's apple bobbed wildly, and his legs thrashed about on the bed like a stranded fish.

Zhu Yu: Oh no, the NPC is slightly dead.

Quickly pat Xia Youjie on the back to help him catch his breath.

Fortunately, the item wasn't very big, and Xia Youjie quickly recovered and swallowed it without any trouble, tears welling up in his eyes.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and a twisted smile appeared on his face. He wanted to politely ask her why she had suddenly done such a thing.

Just then, a warm current surged through his body, spreading throughout his entire being. The pain receded like a tide, and the wounds on his face healed rapidly, leaving no scars.

Xia Youjie's expression froze instantly; before his anger could dissipate, surprise had already crept onto his face.
