I really didn't want to burn it.

In the pristine white hospital room, Ryougi Shiki opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

The doctor is conducting a physical examination on Ryougi Shiki, while Akira Kenki and Rion anxiously await the results.

"Doctor, what's wrong with him/her?"

Li Ang stamped his feet impatiently and asked.

Seeing Li Ang's concern for Ryougi Shiki, Yanmu Qiulong raised his eyebrows in surprise.

I originally thought he was just a bastard who coveted Lady Ryougi Shiki, but I never expected that he actually cared about her?

Seeing that Li Ang's anxious expression seemed genuine, Yanmu Qiulong's impression of him improved slightly.

Well, just a little bit.

If Li Ang wanted to do anything to Ryougi Shiki, Yanmu Qiulong would rather risk his old life than agree.

Of course, if Akira knew that Ryougi Shiki wasn't actually concerned about her health, but only about her eyes, he would probably throw Ryougi Shiki out of the hospital room window.

"Um……"

After carefully examining Ryougi Shiki's condition, the doctor, sporting a powerful hairstyle, slowly stood up.

"Doctor, what's wrong?"

Yanmu Qiulong asked anxiously.

The doctor slowly shook his head: "Well... it's hard to say."

"What? Gastritis? Your stomach was injured in the car accident?"

In his haste, Li Ang misheard "not good" as "gastritis".

The doctor retorted loudly, "It's hard to say! It's not gastritis! Please be mindful of the occasion when using puns!"

"I didn't do it on purpose. It's just that the two words sound too similar in Japanese."

Li Ang pursed his lips.

Duang!

Finally, Yanmu Qiulong couldn't hold back and smacked Li Ang hard on the head.

"You're still in the mood to play even with Miss like this!" Yanmu Qiulong sneered, then asked the doctor, "Doctor, what's wrong? I saw Miss was awake, but why..."

“This is what I wanted to tell you,” the bald doctor said, slowly shaking his head. “Although she has woken up, her consciousness seems to be shut down.”

"You mean a person in a vegetative state?"

"Izumi Akira asked in shock."

"No...it's a little better than being in a vegetative state, but it's even more dangerous."

The doctor looked down at Ryougi Shiki and began to explain with a troubled expression.

"Compared to a person in a vegetative state, she is awake and can feel external stimuli; but compared to us normal people, she seems to be asleep because she cannot react actively. Can you understand?"

"Oh, I see. It's like being kissed by a Dementor in Harry Potter!"

Li Ang suddenly realized and gently tapped his palm with his fist.

"Please stop now! Don't try to apply the weird novels you've read to the young lady."

Yanmu Qiulong raised his fist again, but this time Li Ang easily dodged it.

Just kidding. I was careless the first time. If you hit me again, where would I, the Grand Preceptor of Qin, put my face?

Li Ang nodded towards Yanmu Qiulong, then walked to the other side of the hospital bed and began to observe Ryougi Shiki.

According to the setting that Li Ang knew, Ryougi Shiki should have been in a coma for two years after the car accident.

During this time, Ryougi Shiki's consciousness was unable to see the outside world, but instead constantly gazed at the inner nothingness. Because she was constantly in contact with the concept of death in the origin ' "—nothingness, Ryougi Shiki was able to see the death of all things in the world after she awoke.

According to the doctor, Ryougi Shiki is not currently in a coma. Although she lacks self-awareness, she is indeed observing the outside world.

Under such circumstances, it remains highly questionable whether Ryougi Shiki can successfully awaken the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

"So... this account is useless now, right?"

Li Ang whispered to the system, "Can I start over with a different account?"

Unfortunately, that's not possible. Due to the incineration of human reasoning, we can only travel through the Type-Moon human reasoning records now, aside from singularities...

"so……"

Therefore, host, you only have one chance; if you miss it, it's gone.

"You should have told me this from the beginning!" Li Ang was so angry he wanted to bang his head against the wall. "So, it seems that Ryougi Shiki can no longer meet our expectations, right?"

It's hard to say; there's also the possibility that the other party intentionally shut down their visual senses. Ultimately, unless Ryougi Shiki wakes up, it's difficult for us to know the specifics.

"What about waking him up directly?"

[What if she's actually awakening her Demon Eye? What if you forcibly awaken her, causing her to fail to open it? Should you dump her in the street and then personally drive a dump truck into her again?]

"In the end, it's all because this mourning system is so useless!" Li Ang muttered, pinching his brow. "If you could clearly explain her situation, would I be in this dilemma?"

[Host, this system belongs to you. It can only clearly detect your physical condition. If the system could check other people, wouldn't that be reverse NTR?]

Li Ang stared at the system pop-up with a dark expression.

"You useless memorial system, you always like to use these bizarre metaphors that make people furious."

[That's right, this is the system's wonderful metaphor! (JOJO pose)]

Ignoring the erratic behavior of the Pain System, Li Ang simply closed the golden pop-up window.

Then, Li Ang lowered his head and carefully observed Ryougi Shiki lying on the hospital bed.

Although she was just lying quietly in bed staring at the ceiling, the girl named Ryougi Shiki exuded an elegance that was hard for ordinary people to match.

Apart from having her eyes open, her serene and composed demeanor was just like that of Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

[If she's really like Sleeping Beauty, then maybe she'll wake up while you're asleep! Hahahaha!]

"Can't you think of something positive? You've ruined the atmosphere."

Li Ang blew on the stray hairs on his forehead, ignoring the system's words.

He didn't come to Ryougi Shiki with the intention of picking up girls; instead, he planned to use the simplest and most direct method—negotiation.

If the negotiations succeed, everyone will be happy; if they fail, it doesn't matter either. Li Ang just needs to use force to subdue Ryougi Shiki and then record it with the Holy Grail.

As for the possibility that Ryougi Shiki might disobey when summoned, Li Ang can use Command Spells to make her obey.

But right now, Ryougi Shiki isn't even sure if her Mystic Eyes will be activated, let alone what will happen afterward.

"Really, it was just a hug, and it caused so much trouble."

Li Ang gently stroked his dark hair and sighed helplessly.

However, no reply came from the girl's tightly closed mouth, and her clear, jewel-like eyes showed no reaction whatsoever.

"Are you asleep or awake?"

Li Ang reached out and poked Ryougi Shiki's cheek, wanting to see her reaction.

then……

Bah.

Li Ang's fingers were bitten by Ryougi Shiki's mouth.

Hmm... saying "bite" isn't quite right; a more accurate term would be "suck."

Li Ang could clearly feel the movements of the girl's mouth muscles and tongue transmitted through his fingers.

That's inhaling, that's right!

Li Ang shook his finger and complained, "Hey! Miss! My finger isn't a Want Want Ice Cream!"

"Huh? Young Miss?!"

"Miss Ryougi?"

The doctor and Akio Kenki, who were discussing Ryougi Shiki's condition, were stunned by what they saw.

The two of them pushed Li Ang aside and rushed to Ryougi Shiki's side, calling out her name.

However, Ryougi Shiki's reaction of moving her mouth just now seems to have been just a fleeting moment.

No matter how the doctor called out to her or tried to stimulate Ryougi Shiki, the girl did not react at all.

"That's strange. What's going on?"

M78 Nebula 756365104

The bald doctor was sweating profusely with anxiety. In all his years of medical practice, this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre patient.

"perhaps……"

Yanmu Qiulong glanced at Li Ang.

"What?"

"come over."

Akira pulled Li Ang to Ryougi Shiki's side, then grabbed Li Ang's finger and waved it in front of Ryougi Shiki.

Ryougi Shiki's lifeless eyes shifted slightly.

Yanmu Qiulong then placed Li Ang's hand on Liang Shiyi's cheek.

Ryougi Shiki lowered her head slightly, bringing her cheek closer to Li Ang's palm.

Next, Akira Kenki brought Ryougi Shiki's fingers close to her lips.

Paji.

Ryougi Shiki once again put her finger in her mouth.

"really……"

Yanmu Qiulong pulled Li Ang's fingers out and shook him off.

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really necessary to be so rude?"

Li Ang wiped the drool off his fingers and said angrily.

"Why...why you?!"

Yanmu Qiulong was agitated, his expression as if his tender cabbage had been eaten by a wild boar of unknown origin.

"It's really incredible."

The doctor also looked surprised.

"I never expected Miss Ryougi to react to this gentleman! This means there's a very high chance she'll wake up!"

Yanmu Qiulong grabbed Li Ang by the collar and demanded, "Tch...you bastard, what exactly did you do to the young lady?!"

"I want to know too, okay? The total time I've spent with her doesn't even add up to an hour, and she wasn't even aware of it for most of that time!"

Li Ang himself was almost going crazy.

Before leaving this time, he promised Chloris that he wouldn't get involved with any women.

result……

What the hell is going on?!

Yan Muqiu was furious, and judging from his expression, he seemed to really want to punch Li Ang in the bridge of his nose.

But in the end, relying on his reason, Akira Kenki held back.

"Doctor, I have something I want to tell you."

Yanmu Qiulong gestured to Li Ang to stay there, while he himself pulled the doctor out of the ward.

In the room, the lonely Li Ang and Ryougi Shiki exchanged a glance.

Li Ang's eyes were filled with helplessness and desolation, while the girl's eyes remained calm and indifferent.

"I said... Sister Shiki... Sister Ryougi... I only hugged you once during the car accident, how come you're clinging to me now?"

Unfortunately, the girl lying on the bed could not give Li Ang an answer.

"I'm saying, are you really not conscious, or are you faking it?"
