God's Descent in the Magical City

Chapter 32: Killing Without a Knife

"You know, you might have gotten yourself into trouble again. This could be a big deal," Fangfang speculated.

"Don't jinx it! Can you stop spouting nonsense and just go home?" Alai replied irritably.

Fangfang, concerned, said, "I'm not going home tonight. I'm too scared to leave. I'm worried about you."

Alai coldly responded, "I have Miyuki and Mirei to take care of me. It's not appropriate for an unmarried woman like you to stay here overnight."

Fangfang, resigned, said, "I think you've planned this out well. Fine, I'll come back tomorrow. Take good care of yourself, and don't try to act tough if something happens. I'll come early and make you some black fish soup."

With that, she left the room, full of worry.

Once she was gone, Alai finally let out a sigh of relief.

By evening, Miyuki had returned with the groceries, bringing several small empty bottles as requested.

The staff from the cafeteria knocked on the door and brought in a nutritious meal. They politely asked Alai what dishes he liked, promising to bring them next time. After setting down the food, they left.

As soon as they were gone, Alai took a bit of each dish, placing the samples into one of the empty bottles, which he then sealed tightly. The rest of the food was dumped into a black plastic bag, and he instructed Miyuki to discreetly dispose of it in the trash.

Miyuki, with hands clasped together, muttered, "Amitabha, forgive me for my sins," and then left with the bag.

Not long after, he returned and reported something to Alai.

He noticed that as he passed by the nurse's station, Director Li was still busy.

Alai muttered to himself, "It's so late, and he's still not home? Could he be plotting something against me?" He immediately became vigilant.

Miyuki advised, "If you're really worried and suspicious, maybe we should quietly leave."

Alai shook his head and said, "If I leave, it will only show that I'm afraid of him, that I'm not as smart as him, and it would tarnish the reputation of 'Thunder God.'"

Miyuki sighed, not understanding what Alai was thinking.

Ignoring any further objections, Alai ordered the food to be unpacked, and everyone began to eat.

Miyuki took some food and a bottle of mineral water and went outside to wander and observe.

Before they knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

A chubby nurse entered the ward, holding an IV drip, without saying a word, ready to administer it to Alai.

"What's your name?" the nurse asked.

"Lei Tianlai," Alai replied.

The nurse quickly wrote his name on the IV bottle, hung it up, and began the infusion.

Alai, puzzled, asked, "Didn't I already get an IV? I had several bottles this afternoon."

The nurse, inserting the needle, explained, "This medicine was prepared earlier. Each type of medication has its specific function. This one will help replenish what you lost during surgery and speed up your recovery."

"Oh, oh..."

"If you feel uncomfortable, just press the call button. Call me anytime if you need anything."

As soon as the nurse left, Alai immediately tightened the regulator, ordered Mirei to close the door, and made sure no one could enter.

He pulled out the IV needle, carefully examined the contents of the IV bottle, and cursed, "Damn it, aliens must have come to Earth; this is all gibberish."
