Wei Tianyang brought Hasegawa Chiharu to a cheap apartnt building.
It stood at a crossroads, with entrances and exits both front and rear, grimy inside, the stair corners even stained with urine.
There weren’t many occupants in this building, and as Wei Tianyang carried Chiharu in, several Black n seed to harbor sinister intentions. However, upon seeing the automatic rifle on him, they dared not make a move.
On the fifth floor, he found an unoccupied room, broke the door lock, and settled in.
The room was bare, with nothing but a wooden bed plank left. He placed Chiharu on the bed and made a pillow out of his own bundled-up coat for her head.
Wei Tianyang hadn’t brought much in the way of supplies on this mission, for he didn’t expect things to be difficult and hadn’t planned on staying here for so long.
Checking his resources, he found no more hemostatic gauze, only half a can of spray left, and just two compressed biscuits, but there were still plenty of bullets for the automatic rifle.
Besides loose bullets, the backpack contained a drone, which was currently useless. So, Wei Tianyang emptied it and went out with the empty bag.
Wei Tianyang searched along the streets for a while. The supermarkets and shops were open but empty of goods.
Coincidentally, at noon three airdrop boxes floated down to the street near the apartnt. People rushed towards them, and he had intended to use "Illusion Creation" to gain an advantage. But then he rembered that people in this area would appear simultaneously in both worlds, making it impossible.
So, he ran with the crowd, and upon reaching the airdrop boxes, a few people who were maintaining order started asking for everyone to queue and take only what they needed. Wei Tianyang used his ICR rifle to gain priority in line, securing four cans, two packs of biscuits, three bottles of mineral water, and a dical case.
Back at the apartnt, Hasegawa Chiharu’s eyes were closed, her expression one of pain as her body twisted restlessly. The hemostatic cloth on her waist and abdon was soaked red with blood and had dried into a crust.
Wei Tianyang approached the window, opened the dical case, and prepared tweezers and dical alcohol to treat her wounds. Chiharu woke up, suddenly grabbing his wrist.
"Who sent you..." she asked weakly but with determination, speaking in Japanese.
"United Council," Wei Tianyang said.
"What are you going to do?" Chiharu asked anxiously.
"I’m going to treat your wounds and then, ask a few questions," Wei Tianyang replied, looking at her.
Chiharu was doubtful, but after staring at Wei Tianyang for a few seconds, she let go of his wrist.
Wei Tianyang undid a few buttons on Chiharu’s blouse, exposing her wounds, and even a little of her lower breast.
She turned her head away in embarrassnt, gripping the edge of the wooden bed plank with her hands.
Wei Tianyang tore off the dried-up hemostatic cloth with tweezers.
"Hisss..."
Chiharu drew in a breath of pain.
The two long cuts on her abdon had scabbed over. As Wei Tianyang pulled off the cloth, so of the scabs ca away, revealing pale flesh and the blood began to seep out again, slowly.
Before, he had crudely stitched the wounds with a military quick-sewing device. This left the wounds looking very rough; the knife hadn’t gone in too deep but was not superficial. From the outside, it seed that the organs were not damaged.
Chiharu had a strong build with noticeable abdominal muscles. While not as fit as Zhao Ling, she was certainly better than many won who didn’t manage their figures.
Wei Tianyang disinfected the wounds with dical alcohol, applied military dical spray, and ointnt provided in the dical case, then, covered them with a gauze bandage.
Reluctantly cooperating, Chiharu propped herself up, lifted her blouse, and exposed her waist and abdon, with her hands holding up beneath her breasts to facilitate Wei Tianyang wrapping a layer of bandage around her upper abdon, in a much more professional manner than before.
After the bandaging was done, Chiharu still didn’t let her guard down around Wei Tianyang. She leaned against the headboard, adjusted her clothes, and looked at him with a hostile gaze.
"Don’t look at like that," Wei Tianyang said.
He packed up the dical equipnt and handed a bottle of mineral water to Chiharu.
"You... killed Xi... you beast..." Chiharu said through gritted teeth.
"You can hate , I don’t mind. I understand that feeling," Wei Tianyang said.
He sat at the foot of the bed, placing the mineral water beside Chiharu’s hand.
"You’ll never understand, you could never possibly understand what Xi went through," Chiharu said.
"She wasn’t from the Superpower Special Departnt, was she? At best, her ability was a half-finished product," Wei Tianyang said.
"She volunteered to beco a dicine Person to raise dical funds for her younger brother, Xiao Jing... almost died in the containnt facility, such a good person... You have no idea, the superpowers you use, they were gained through the lives of those dicine People! I watched her suffer, and I brought her out from that facility, yet you killed her so carelessly..." Chiharu raged.
Wei Tianyang was silent for a while, realizing that this Xi, like himself, had also co out of a containnt facility.
"You know what it ans to die without regrets?" Wei Tianyang asked.
Chiharu looked at her and didn’t speak.
"I faced her in battle, neither of us would back down, she attacked with the resolve to protect you, ready to face the consequences. Being a dicine Person is a dead-end path, by pulling her out, you essentially gave her a second life. The rest of her life was for that mont," Wei Tianyang said.
"Xi..." Chiharu lowered her head and began to sob.
"My na is Wei Tianyang, have you heard it before?" Wei Tianyang asked.
Hasegawa Chiharu shook her head.
"Well, let introduce myself. I’m sent by the United Council to investigate the disease spread through language in this city. That Zoe, used her own superpower to possess a retired veteran to deceive into rescuing you... If it wasn’t for this ss, I wouldn’t have been hostile to your people."
Chiharu didn’t speak but still seed sowhat incredulous.
"You said Zoe is dead, what exactly happened? What is P13?" Wei Tianyang asked again.
"Zoe... was killed by P13," Chiharu spoke solemnly.
"Zoe was a triad, P13 is that powerful? Based on the records I’ve seen... forget it, maybe all the records I’ve seen are fake," Wei Tianyang shook his head.
He was now unsure who to trust.
"Zoe could read other people’s mories. She was originally sent to kill ... but after seeing my mories, she chose to help."
"That actually aligns with what I’ve heard. What is this P13 you’re talking about?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"P13... is directly related to the language virus you’re investigating. If you don’t even know about P13, it seems you’re not here to kill ..." Hasegawa Chiharu said.
"I’m just a dumbass who’s been deceived twice..." Wei Tianyang mocked himself, "Tell about P13."
"P13 is a 15-year-old girl nad Fujiwara Makoto. She is entirely different from the Superpower Special Departnt, naturally possessing extrely strong superpowers. She can interfere with other people’s thoughts and even create anything out of thin air, including human beings, but doing so exhausts her..." Chiharu said.
Wei Tianyang frowned, to create anything? Isn’t that like a god?
"Can she create food? If her powers were used rightly, she’d be a savior," Wei Tianyang said.
"Yes, but whatever she creates eventually vanishes, the food and water she creates cannot sate hunger and are tasteless," Chiharu shook her head.
"What about... factories? Manufacturing tools and such, that could save a lot of costs," Wei Tianyang said again.
"We’ve thought of what you’re suggesting and have tried it. Her ability is strong, but also heavily limited. To maintain her creations on a large scale for a long ti, she herself has to remain stationary and enter a state of deep sleep," Chiharu said.
"Hm... so she becos like a battery," Wei Tianyang said.
"In such a state, she can’t control her creations, she can only passively repair them continuously, it’s like they’re dead. We tried having her create a car and maintain it through her sleep, but the car simply couldn’t be driven. That’s why we call her ability ’Illusion Creation,’ and she is the ’Witch Project’ of Hasegawa," Chiharu explained.
