In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

At this moment, several hours had passed since the children were taken to the hospital.

It seems that the subsequent inspection and resettlement work should be almost complete.

then.

Natsume Ryo opened an encrypted communication software.

After inquiring with Tanaka Yamaichiro, a new message was displayed above.

[Sir, the missing children have all been placed in the special care ward of Chiba Prefectural General Hospital, where we, disguised medical staff, are providing 24-hour care to ensure their safety.]

"Let's go to the hospital."

"Huh? To the hospital?"

"What are you going to the hospital for?"

"Why would you go to a place like that? It's so gloomy and not fun at all."

Geng Xizi was the first to object, her slender eyes narrowing slightly, her face filled with undisguised disdain, and her delicate nose even wrinkling slightly.

This caused Natsume Ryo's lips to twitch.

"A spirit that has lived for decades would actually find the hospital gloomy and gloomy?"

"Natsume-kun, what do you mean by that?!"

Upon hearing this, Geng Xizi puffed out her cheeks and nudged Natsume Ryo's arm lightly with her elbow in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, my bad."

"But we still need to go to the hospital."

"The children who were rescued are all there now; I need to go check on them."

Natsume Ryo finally explained something to Yuuko and the others.

Upon hearing that it was a serious matter, Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi remained silent.

then.

Half an hour later.

The taxi carrying the three of them slowly came to a stop in front of the Chiba Prefectural Central Hospital.

This is the largest and most advanced medical center in Chiba Prefecture.

Chiba Prefectural Central Hospital is usually overcrowded.

now.

Chiba Prefectural Central Hospital was completely surrounded by people.

The taxi had just come to a complete stop.

Through the car window, Natsume Ryo saw the chaotic scene at the hospital entrance.

The crowds were immense.

Reporters from dozens of media outlets set up their cameras, bombarding the hospital with questions, completely blocking the entrance.

After all, such a large-scale case of missing children has been solved.

This is undoubtedly a major news story that is sure to attract public attention.

For the media with a keen sense of smell, this is full of sensational stories to tell, whether it's digging into the details of the case or interviewing the victims' families.

To avoid causing unnecessary disturbance.

The police had to deploy a large number of officers and set up a long cordon to maintain order and prevent the ubiquitous reporters from breaking through the defenses and affecting the people inside the hospital.

……

"Guest, we can't go any further ahead, you'll have to get off here."

The taxi driver turned around with a helpless expression.

"Um……"

Natsume Ryo nodded slightly, paid the fare, and got out of the car with Yuuko and Kage Yuuko.

……

Just as Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi were wondering how to get past these people.

A young doctor, dressed in a white coat, wearing a mask and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked refined and gentle, strode out of the heavily guarded side door, walked through the crowded people, and came straight in.

The other person has a refined appearance and a gentle temperament.

She has the image of an elite doctor.

However, Natsume Ryo was able to clearly sense the inhuman cellular fluctuations within the other person's body.

Another parasite.

The parasitic doctor successfully located Natsume Ryo using his senses and bowed slightly.

"My lord, please come with me."

"The main entrance has been completely blocked by the media. I will take you in through the staff-only entrance."

"Um……"

Natsume Ryo nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Since then.

The parasite led the way, guiding Natsume Ryo and his group through the crowd and into the hospital through an inconspicuous staff entrance.

Inside the hospital, although people were still coming and going, it was much more orderly than the chaos outside.

"There are quite a few of your people in this hospital."

Walking down the hospital corridor, Natsume Ryo glanced at the medical staff coming and going, and casually mentioned it in a flat tone.

"Report to your lord."

Upon hearing this, the parasitic doctor stepped back half a step and replied respectfully.

"In order to better integrate into human society and to serve you more conveniently, after initial integration, we consciously learned the top knowledge of various industries in human society and placed our counterparts in key positions."

"In this hospital, besides my subordinates, there are four other colleagues who are in charge of the surgery, anesthesia, imaging and pharmacy departments respectively."

"besides."

"Medicine, finance, law, scientific research... wherever it is essential to the functioning of human society, we are there."

Upon hearing these words, Natsume Ryo paused for a moment.

He recalled the parasite's terrifying learning ability.

"Speaking of which, given your learning abilities, how long would it take you to reach a level where you are competent for these key positions?"

Natsume Ryo asked with great interest.

"Your Excellency, regarding this matter, we need to consider whether the field has adequate learning conditions."

The parasite doctor adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a glint of absolute rationality flashing in his eyes behind the lenses, and answered respectfully.

"If we take human languages ​​as an example, with sufficient learning samples, we only need half an hour to fully master a completely new language and reach the fluency level of a native speaker."

"Half an hour..."

Tsk.

Natsume Ryo slightly raised his eyebrows.

after all.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the terrifying learning ability of parasites.

Based on human learning ability.

Humans want to master a foreign language.

Even with exceptional talent, mastering a foreign language from scratch and achieving fluent communication would require at least several years, or even more than a decade, of hard work.

As a result, Parasites achieved fluency comparable to native speakers in just half an hour.

This learning efficiency is beyond genius; it's practically like having a cheat code.

This learning ability is truly extraordinary.

……

"By the way, where are those children who were brought here by the police now?"

Natsume Ryo clicked his tongue, no longer dwelling on it, and instead asked:

"Reporting to you, sir, the VIP ward on the seventh floor is under the care of dedicated personnel to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The parasite doctor answered immediately.

"Well, in that case, you should go down first to avoid attracting too much attention."

Natsume Ryo nodded slightly.

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing this, the parasitic doctor bowed respectfully, then turned and quickly left, his figure soon blending into the crowd in the corridor without attracting anyone's attention.

……

After dismissing the parasitic doctor, Natsume Ryo led Yuuko and Kage Yuuko towards their destination.

"Hey, Natsume-kun, was that person... also one of your subordinates?"

At this moment, Geng Xizi asked curiously.

"He's just a convenient tool."

Ryo Natsume gave a casual explanation.

Seeing this, Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi exchanged a glance. Although they were curious, they did not ask any further questions.

……

Walk through a corridor.

Natsume Ryo suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze seemingly casually drifting towards the rest area on the other side of the corridor.

There.

Beside the vending machine at the end of the corridor, a familiar and beautiful figure was pacing back and forth somewhat uneasily.

Unlike her usual stylish school uniform, she was wearing a simple yet tasteful casual outfit.

A white puff-sleeved shirt paired with light blue high-waisted jeans made her already long and shapely legs look even straighter and more toned.

It was Reina Kurashiki.

Natsume Ryo raised an eyebrow slightly.

……

After noticing Rena Kurashiki's figure.

Natsume Ryo had no intention of saying hello; instead, he planned to ignore her and leave.

result.

Never thought.

Kurashiki Rena seemed to have noticed something as well, and suddenly turned her head.

The moment Kurashiki Reina's gaze fell upon Natsume Ryo's figure, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Immediately, a kind of ecstatic joy, like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, instantly replaced all other emotions.

"Natsume-kun?!"

Kurashiki Rena exclaimed in surprise, forgetting the drink she had just bought from the vending machine. Without thinking, she took off running towards Natsume Ryo, her legs, which looked even more rounded and long in her skinny jeans, with great strides.

In the blink of an eye.

A beautiful figure, carrying a faint scent of perfume, stopped in front of Natsume Ryo.

"Natsume-kun! Thank goodness! It really is you!"
