21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 252 - 249: Disciple
A group of people arrived at the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital. Although they were not patients and did not have an appointment, Misumi Mikoto and others still managed to see Chen Yu.
"Please, take a seat and talk," Chen Yu said with a smile, facing Misumi Mikoto, the Nakado Department, and Kube Rokuro, who trailed behind them with a somewhat embarrassed expression. As he beckoned them to sit down, he also spoke to Shirai Rena, who was at the door, ready to stop them, "Rena, could you please make three cups of tea for us?
Also, ensure that no one else disturbs us; we have very important matters to discuss."
"Yes, Professor," Shirai Rena nodded and quickly left to prepare the tea. Failing to stop the three from barging into Chen Yu’s office was already a neglect of her duties. She needed to be even more diligent at this moment.

While Shirai Rena was preparing the tea, Misumi Mikoto pulled the Nakado Department to the sofa to sit down, while Kube Rokuro also sat down with his backpack, carrying a look of embarrassment on his face.
Once Shirai Rena brought the tea over and left Chen Yu’s office, locking the door behind her, the Nakado Department finally asked, "Where is he?"
"ICU, in the intensive care unit. He hasn’t woken up yet and isn’t in a state to leave the ICU," Chen Yu replied. He didn’t mind the Nakado Department’s impoliteness and didn’t hide the whereabouts of the murderer. However, the information he provided was meaningless to the Nakado Department.
The ICU isn’t just any ordinary ward; it has strict isolation and inspection measures. Even the hospital’s own medical staff must undergo disinfection checks when entering and exiting. Breaking in there to commit murder was obviously impossible.
"What do you want me to do?" the Nakado Department asked, looking at Chen Yu. He knew Chen Yu had called him for a reason and was likely to use him, but the Nakado Department didn’t mind being used. To get his revenge, he was willing to pay any price.
As for whether Chen Yu could help him get revenge, it might be difficult for others to enter the ICU, but not for a professor of this hospital. Even bringing someone in wouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, since Chen Yu had asked him to come, he clearly had a way to help him get his revenge.
With that thought, the Nakado Department’s gaze towards Chen Yu grew even more resolute.

"You know, humans really do possess souls," Chen Yu said, slightly curling his lips into a smile.
The sunlight streaming in from behind him obscured his facial expression from Misumi Mikoto and the others facing him, but his voice came through clearly, "When people die, if their souls are burdened with obsessions, they will linger in this world, wandering around the places most important to them while alive. Guess, Dr. Nakado, Kojiya Yukiko, who was killed by Takase Fumito eight years ago...
would she have any obsessions keeping her soul lingering in this world? And where was the place of utmost importance to her while she was alive?"
The words of Chen Yu made the Nakado Department’s eyes widen in disbelief. If the soul of his girlfriend truly remained in this world... The Nakado Department suddenly rose from the sofa like a madman, lunged over the coffee table, and leaned over Chen Yu’s desk, staring intently at him as he demanded, "What on earth are you trying to do?"
"Don’t be in such a hurry, Dr. Nakado. You’ve waited eight years, so why rush now? Take a look at this first," Chen Yu wasn’t intimidated by the demeanor displayed by the Nakado Department, instead, he pulled out a Crystal Ball from the drawer under the table and placed it on the table, gesturing for Nakado Department to look.
Confused, Dr. Nakado looked at Chen Yu in front of him. Although full of rage and impatience with no outlet, under Meiqin’s soothing presence, he finally turned his attention to the Crystal Ball that Chen Yu had placed on the table.
Initially, Dr. Nakado thought he would see nothing but a clear, empty Crystal Ball, or perhaps some smoke and mirrors trick, but to his surprise, he saw a woman killing a man inside the Crystal Ball, and what caught his attention the most was that before the woman killed the man each time, she would stuff a toy ball into his mouth.
"Teacher, this couldn’t be... the soul of the killer, could it?" Meiqin naturally knew what kind of person Chen Yu was, but what she saw before her still startled her. Had Chen Yu trapped the soul of the other person?
Because ’teacher’ and ’doctor’ are pronounced the same in Japanese, no one noticed that Meiqin was addressing Chen Yu as ’teacher’. Even if they had noticed, Dr. Nakado and Rokuro would probably be more concerned with what exactly was happening inside the Crystal Ball on the table than with Meiqin’s form of address.
"This is Takase Fumito, the soul of that murderer. He is experiencing the death of those he killed... using the same method he used to kill them," Chen Yu explained with a hint of mockery in his smile to the three people leaning in, tapping the Crystal Ball with his finger, "As for the person who keeps killing him in there, it’s his mother.
When he was a child, his mother used to stuff a toy ball into his mouth like that. This is also why he left a red goldfish mark by stuffing toy balls in the victims’ mouths, because he was taking revenge on his mother."
"This is why he killed Yukiko?" Dr. Nakado couldn’t accept that his girlfriend was killed for such a reason. The thought that his beloved lover was murdered for such an absurd reason was something he couldn’t come to terms with.
"No, the reason he killed your girlfriend was because of the letter chart you saw in his house. He wanted to use twenty-six lives and twenty-six killing methods to become the most vicious and evil murderer in history, to become a legend," Chen Yu stated calmly, but his words made Dr. Nakado burst with rage, while Meiqin and Rokuro felt a chill run down their spines.
"Then Brother Yu, how did you know all this? And if this is his soul, Brother Yu, how did you... put his soul into this Crystal Ball?" Rokuro, looking at the Chen Yu he thought he knew, doing things completely foreign to him, couldn’t help but ask such a question.
"And, teacher, what exactly are you trying to do by telling Dr. Nakado all of this?" Meiqin also looked at Chen Yu, wanting to know his true purpose.
"I know because I have my ways. As for why I do these things…" Chen Yu stood up from behind the office desk, looked at Meiqin, and raised a finger, "First, I don’t like beasts and scum. While I don’t mind people killing, such a beast must die.
Second, I need to give my disciple her first lesson, to show her what abilities a Necromancer possesses, and the attitude and posture she should have when existing."
"Disciple?" Both Rokuro’s and Dr. Nakado’s eyes turned to Meiqin, who felt particularly embarrassed under the gaze of the three in the office.
