Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 370 Master Fu

"Um..."

The lost consciousness was thawing little by little, and although the body was still unable to move, it was indeed recovering.

The girl lay flat on her back, the scent of pine needles and sandalwood supporting her body. She seemed to be floating in the air, feeling extremely comfortable.

But the ninja's instinct made Xia subconsciously tense up, but...

"It's okay, you can relax."

It seemed as if a voice said this in Xia's ear, and then the girl's hand was held by a soft little hand, which led the girl to touch the door of reality.

Xia opened her eyes again, looked sideways, and spoke with difficulty: "Ming...Rin...and...Theresa..."

Fighting the dizziness from waking up, Xia reflexively wanted to check the weapons on her body, but found that her original clothes had been removed.

The other party changed the girl into a clean shrine maiden costume. The belt was not tied and the clothes just covered her body loosely.

Theresa saw the confusion in the other person's eyes, so she explained: "Ming and Lin are not here... Xia, you lie down and don't move. I'll wash the old clothes, you can put on the shrine maiden costume first."

"..." Xia did not respond. She didn't care who changed her clothes, Theresa, Rin, Hiyomaru, or even Jiang Ming.

Theresa continued: "Master Fu said that it will take some time for your wounds to heal. Wearing loose clothes will make it easier to clean the wounds. Ming and Lin are waiting outside. Ah... By the way, Lin and I helped you change your clothes. Ming didn't see it, even though you are obviously a ninja couple..."

"Master...Fu?" Xia was so weak that she could only blink to express her confusion. At this moment, she noticed that there was another woman standing next to Theresa, who nodded slightly to her.

"My name is Fu Hua, and I'm a doctor."

"We usually call her Master Fu." Theresa

Did you hire a special doctor to treat me? Although I understand Theresa's good intentions...my identity is a big problem.

However, Theresa seemed to have seen through Xia's concerns, so she comforted her and explained: "Doctor Fu has treated many patients with special identities. She is only responsible for treatment and does not ask about the cause of the injury."

"Her patients have all said so. Master Fu's mouth was sewn shut with Master Fu's needle."

"Uh." This sentence should be a compliment to Master Fu for his tight-lippedness and excellent medical skills, right? But... I always feel that there is something subtle. Is it my illusion?

"Come to think of it, this shouldn't be a shrine, right? How did I get here...?" After resting for a moment, Xia finally had the strength to look around.

"This place is located on the edge of the Never-Bright City. This morning, I found Ming and you standing at the door of the shrine. Coincidentally, Master Fu was also there, so we were able to get treatment in time." Theresa said with some relief in her tone.

"Every time I successfully treat a patient, I will come to the shrine to burn the amulets I had obtained for them to fulfill my vow and thank the gods for their protection." Fu Hua also explained her appearance.

"After giving your wound emergency treatment, your husband carried you to my clinic. Luckily, Theresa knew there was a path leading to the clinic from the shrine. It won't be long before we get there."

"Until your wounds heal, you will stay here and rest. Your husband, daughter, Theresa, and I will take turns to take care of you. I will notify them to come see you now."

After Fu Hua finished speaking, she stood up and left.

"Okay, thank you..."

The room that Fu Hua arranged for Xia was on the second floor facing the street. The windows were covered with special paper, so one could see outside from the inside, but not vice versa. Therefore, even though there was a bustling crowd outside the window, there was still a subtle distance between this place and the outside world... This kind of design was quite humane.

Although this place is located on the edge of the city that never sleeps, the streets are still bustling during the day, while the world at night seems to be folded up and gathered under the surface calm.

The girl closed her eyes slightly and began to rest.

"......"

"I believe you already know what I said before. Is there anything you are concerned about?" When Xia opened her eyes again, Jiang Ming and Lin appeared in front of her.

"Of course there is, but we can start with the [Ashura Road] first." Jiang Ming picked up a cushion and sat cross-legged next to Xia, while Lin sat on the other side.

Xia murmured, "Shura Dao..."

"According to my latest calculations, [Ashura Path] and [Hell Path] are inextricably linked. Asura refers to sentient beings who originally enjoyed the blessings of heaven, but willingly turned into evil spirits and fell into hell."

Considering Xia's weak body, Jiang Ming spoke softly and clearly: "According to what Fei Yehua said before, the experiment of Thunder Ryoma was caused by someone adding other curse seals to the puppet that was given the [Hell] curse seal, which caused the accident."

"So you suspect that this so-called 'other curse seal' is the Shura Path?"

Jiang Ming nodded gently: "Yes, this can explain why I have not been able to find any information about the [Shura Road] curse for a long time."

Xia guessed: "Because it has already merged with the [Hell] curse seal...?"

Jiang Ming nodded, but then shook his head: "The only person who has the ability and motivation to tamper with Ryoma's experiment is Miss Raiden Mei, so finding her is our only breakthrough."

"But..." The girl gave a bitter smile. She was in no condition to go out with Jiang Ming and the others. Looking for clues would only add to the burden.

Jiang Ming stroked Xia's soft pink hair and comforted her: "It's okay. Although you are not able to move around easily now, you can make more use of this clinic."

"Well, this Master Fu is definitely not an ordinary person."

Xia didn't seem to mind Jiang Ming stroking her hair. Instead, she closed her eyes and enjoyed it comfortably. At the same time, she guessed, "The fact that she has admitted many patients with special identities and no one has bothered her and she has been able to run her business peacefully is enough to show that she has considerable courage."

"Yes, there must be a lot of people coming and going here, so it's a good opportunity to get some information."

Jiang Ming turned his gaze to Lin again: "During this time, I will let Lin stay by your side, and I will go out alone to look for information and clues about Miss Raiden Mei."

"Okay." Xia nodded without any objection. For things like this that required thinking, she would leave it all to Jiang Ming to solve when it was not necessary.
