Since the last attack, the hospital experienced another violent incident. Although the police responded in a tily manner, soone attempted to enter the laboratory and even took a professor hostage. Such an incident could not be dismissed as trivial.
It was particularly shocking for viewers that the live broadcast caras captured the scene of Kusanagi Ritsuko drawing her gun to shoot. The audience found this extrely stimulating.
However, for the higher-ups at the tropolitan Police Departnt, it was also too stimulating.
They could accept the police shooting at a criminal, although being broadcast live on TV with police drawing guns and shooting at a criminal holding a hostage, would invite criticism. But at least legally, the action stood on solid ground. Showing a bit of a tough stance from the tropolitan Police Departnt wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
But a shooting happening inside a hospital, especially at a famous institution like the Tokyo University dical School Hospital, gave the senior managent at the tropolitan Police Departnt a headache, especially since there had been an attack there recently, with the attacker dying due to police errors.
Today's violent attempt by protesters to attack the hospital undoubtedly added to the enormous headache of the Tokyo tropolitan Police Departnt, which was already swamped with lawsuits.
However, what truly caught the senior managent of the police departnt off guard was the request from Lord Miketsu to visit the hospital.
The higher-ups of the police departnt were of course aware that two deities had been residing at their headquarters recently, one of which was the great deity Miketsu no Kami, which caused the devotion to the Inari God to skyrocket within the Tokyo tropolitan Police Departnt Headquarters. There were even proposals from the general affairs departnt to install a shrine, but were rejected by supervisors on grounds that it was inappropriate for a police facility.
They couldn't possibly stop, nor would they attempt to stop, a deity from leaving. The problem was that Lord Miketsu intended to visit a hospital where a shooting had just occurred, and the very cause of various incidents was the Artificial Womb experint being conducted there.
This experint had been condemned as blasphemous by many religious groups, and now a True God was about to personally visit—what if divine punishnt actually ensued?
Under the concerns of the high-ranking officers of the tropolitan Police Departnt, Yamada Nobuyosuke had no choice but to take on this difficult task and accompany Lord Miketsu to the hospital.
Dressed in ancient Tang Garnts, Lord Miketsu entered the hospital lobby with Yamada Nobuyosuke by her side. Her indescribably noble aura coupled with the classical attire, she resembled a true princess from ancient tis, making everyone who saw Lord Miketsu instinctively bow their heads in respect, just as commoners from ancient days would bow before nobility.
Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi had learned about Lord Miketsu's visit to the hospital and were naturally waiting in the lobby early on.
"Lord Miketsu, I did not expect that you would also visit the hospital," Yu Chen greeted Lord Miketsu, then suggested, "Let's go upstairs to talk. It's too crowded and noisy here."
Lord Miketsu did not object but was not keen on discussing matters with Yu Chen under the gaze of mortals. However, she still said to Yu Chen, "Can you first take to see that so-called 'experint' you are doing? I have not seen anything like allowing a fetus to leave the mother's body before."
Yu Chen, hearing Lord Miketsu's desire to first see the Artificial Womb experint, looked more serious, but still nodded his head and went with Hiromi Jounouchi to guide Lord Miketsu toward the experintal area.
Upon reaching the experintal area, the criminal who had just been shot by Kusanagi Ritsuko had been taken away for treatnt, and the reporters had naturally been asked to leave. They were currently huddled outside the entrance to the experintal area, engaged in follow-up reporting, while the entrance to the experintal area was cordoned off by the police.
Seeing Yu Chen, Hiromi Jounouchi, and Nobuyosuke Yamada appear, Ritsuko Kusanagi naturally didn't dare to stop their group and let them in.
However, following Yu Chen was Lord Miketsu, who caught the attention of all the journalists because Lord Miketsu looked like a princess who had just stepped out of an Ukiyo-e painting, suddenly appearing at a place where a shooting had just occurred, which inevitably made it feel as if sothing was off with the scene.
But neither Yu Chen nor Lord Miketsu cared about the suspicions of these journalists or their requests for interviews. With the help of a few police officers who blocked the way, they ignored the journalists and entered the experintal zone.
When they reached the anteroom of the sterile room, Yu Chen didn't bring Lord Miketsu into the sterile room, but led them to stand in front of the observation window, looking at the fetus in the incubator.
"Life's birthing truly is a miracle, I didn't expect that you could let a fetus develop so healthily outside of a mother's body," said Lord Miketsu, surprisingly expressing admiration while looking at the fetus in the artificial womb.
As a deity, even through several layers of glass, They could see that the fetus was in very good health. It only needed to wait for its organs to mature before it could leave the incubator it was in and officially co into this world.
"Lord Miketsu, what do you think of this?" Yu Chen suddenly asked Lord Miketsu, and his question imdiately made everyone tense.
Although the artificial womb experint represented the progress of human science and dicine, for deities, it was the greatest mockery of creationism.
Deities created the world, deities created life, but now humans had achieved what only deities could do, which was undoubtedly a desecration of the deities.
To uphold their own faith, whether or not the deities would destroy everything, had beco a concern for everyone.
However, Lord Miketsu simply tilted Their head, glanced at Yu Chen, and asked, "Mr. Chen Yu, do you know where life cos from?"
"I see, I understand now," Yu Chen seed to have an epiphany, nodding to show he understood Lord Miketsu's implication, yet he was still unclear about Lord Miketsu's purpose: "But if Lord Miketsu didn't co to destroy, then why did you co?"
"If I say I'm just curious, Mr. Chen Yu, would you believe ?" Lord Miketsu looked at Yu Chen and suddenly blinked playfully.
Seeing Lord Miketsu's deanor, Yu Chen tactfully didn't press further. He just nodded slightly, stepped back, and stood next to Hiromi Jounouchi, not wanting to interfere with Lord Miketsu's interest.
When Lord Miketsu appeared to have finally seen enough, They turned to Yu Chen and asked, "Is there anything tasty around here? I'm hungry."
"The hospital's cafeteria is downstairs. Although the dishes are decent, they are just average. I'm not sure whether they will be acceptable to Lord Miketsu," Yu Chen offered in response.
However, Lord Miketsu was unfastidious and shook Their head: "Whether food is delicious depends on whether the person making it is devoted. Ordinary food, if made with heart, can also be a rare delicacy, whereas even the best food, if prepared without care, doesn't deserve to be placed before the diner."
