Chapter 528 This is not called harm

Unfortunately, after a day of investigation, no clues about the murderer were found, and even the few clues that appeared were quickly overturned by other clues.

It was as if the murderer appeared out of thin air and disappeared just as suddenly.

After all, even the surveillance cameras in the hospital corridors didn't capture him, and the results of professional examination of the surveillance footage showed no signs of hacking.

After the police left the hospital, Kogoro Mouri went to the smoking area, lit a cigarette, and looked serious and grave. "The culprit this time..."

As night fell, Qianzhu, lying on her sickbed, showed no signs of waking up.

But the three of them were also leaving.

As night deepened and everything grew quiet, the lights in the inpatient ward were also turned off.

In the darkness, a pair of amber eyes slowly opened, but quickly closed again, and the aching lungs took a few slow and slightly difficult deep breaths.

If you were to open the skill panel right now, you would see that the [Regeneration] skill, which is only level 1, is flashing wildly, but its effect is taking too long to take effect.

But what can it do? It's just a level 1 skill pet.

Inside the system space, 01, noticing that Qianzhu had woken up, waved away the spider webs covering her body and rushed out, approaching Qianzhu with eyes full of worry.

Qianzhu raised her hand and gently patted it, without saying anything.

He closed his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep.

01 After a long silence, she finally asked the question that had been troubling her for so long in a low voice.

[Host, why did you choose to harm yourself? There are other ways... to achieve the same goal, aren't there?]

"Isn't this method convenient?" Qianzhu asked softly.

01 opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

“I don’t think I’m hurting myself.”

His tone was calm. He opened his eyes, a gentle smile on his face, and gently stroked the little fluffy ball floating in front of him.

"This isn't called harm, this is called habit."

His voice was so low that 01 almost couldn't hear him.

01 My whole body trembled.

It couldn't help but think of the part that had been said by Bertrand's alter ego not long ago, the part it hadn't heard—

"It doesn't matter if I get hurt..."

"Anyway..."

"I'm used to it."

Is that really the case?

01 Her throat tightened, and she curled up in Qianzhu's hands.

Qianzhu gently squeezed it, then her eyes glazed over and her mind went blank.

...

Bright colors appeared outside the window, and the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn, but the sky itself was somewhat overcast, suggesting it would be a cloudy day.

When Katsuragi and Tatsuko arrived at the ward, they saw that Chizuru had already woken up and a nurse was examining him.

Upon seeing her, since she had been taking care of Qianzhu recently, the nurse treated her as a family member of Qianzhu and informed her of some matters.

"The fact that the patient has woken up means that there is nothing seriously wrong. Just wait quietly for the injury to heal, and he should recover soon. Another examination will be arranged tomorrow."

“Okay, I understand, thank you.” Katsumata Rinko nodded.

After the nurse left, she sat down on the edge of the bed, smiled gently at Qianzhu, and asked softly, "How are you feeling now?"

"Thanks to your care, I'm much better now," Qianzhu would reply with a gentle smile.

Katsura Tatsuko poured him a glass of warm water and said, "The nurse also said that your injury is not serious. With proper rest, you will recover quickly. In addition, an examination will be arranged tomorrow."
