Forced to walk in the world of anime

As Chu Xing finished washing fruit at the sink in the hospital room, a knock sounded at the door. This made a bead of sweat appear on Chu Xing's forehead; with their relationship growing increasingly familiar, he had completely forgotten to knock...

"I'm coming!"

Atsuharu Shiori also thought of this, glared at Chu Xing through the wall, and then went to open the door.

The person who came was Ruiko Saten's attending physician—Myouto Tsurugi!

He came to tell Saten Ruiko that her injuries had healed completely and she no longer needed to stay in the hospital. Although making money was good, the Underworld Soul Chaser wouldn't make money off a little girl like her!

Moreover, the daily hospital bed fee is not expensive, only 1500 yuan, so it's the same whether you have it or not!

After finishing this, Mingtu Zhuihun was about to leave. He had many things to do and couldn't stay in the ward forever.

Just as he turned to leave, Chu Xing came out of the restroom, and their eyes met!

"... "

The weathered white eyebrows of the Soul Chaser of the Underworld furrowed. This was the second time he had seen Chu Xing. Unlike the last time, this time he could see the changes in Chu Xing's abilities and what kind of results Chu Xing's abilities would achieve in the future.

The two stared at each other for about five seconds before Chu Xing broke the silence, extending his hand with an innocent and sunny smile: "Hello!"

"Hello there!"

The frog doctor also extended his hand and shook hands with Chu Xing. Then, his eyes flashed and he said, "Your abilities are very promising. If you develop them properly, you will achieve results that you absolutely cannot imagine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul Chaser of the Underworld seemed to sense something, shook his head slightly, and left!

"... "

Chu Xing stood still, his mind racing with thoughts. What kind of being was the Soul Chaser of the Underworld? Although the original work didn't reveal it, he had a general idea. Had he figured something out?

Chu Xing didn't understand, but the next moment, just as the Netherworld Soul Chaser was about to disappear around the corner, he stepped forward and said, "Thank you!"

Dr. Guatai paused for a moment, but did not turn around to look at Chu Xing. He simply nodded slightly and disappeared completely from Chu Xing's sight!

(I've decided to revise it significantly because when I read the previous book, I found that some timelines were messed up, and some parts were written too quickly. You could say that three chapters contained more than 30 chapters of content...)

###22. An Encounter###

(Thank you so much to everyone for the tickets and collections, lol)

"Ok?"

Chu Xing's behavior puzzled the two women. They exchanged a glance, and Saten Ruiko asked, "What's wrong with Chu Xing? Why did you suddenly say thank you?"

"nothing."

When Chu Xing returned, he naturally couldn't tell them why he thanked them. He first chuckled and said, "They could have let you stay in the hospital for some so-called observation and made money off you, but seeing that you're a student, they couldn't bear to make money off you, so they told you to be discharged. Otherwise, you would have to pay hundreds or thousands of yuan every day! Shouldn't we thank them for doing that?"

Upon hearing Chu Xing's explanation, both women suddenly understood!

Saten Ruiko nodded, a look of gratitude on her face: "Yes! It seems this doctor who looks like a frog is really a good person!"

After this ordeal, Saten Ruiko doesn't have much money left in her wallet. She'll probably have to be very frugal from now on. If she stays in the hospital, it will be another huge expense, making her already poor situation even worse. She might even have to call home to ask for more money!

Uiharu Kazari nodded in agreement, then seemed to remember something and said, "Speaking of which, this frog doctor seems to be quite old, doesn't he? It's very difficult to find a doctor this old in Academy City. No, wait, it seems there's no one else besides him!"

As expected of a clever child, Shiori Hatsuharu's casual remark made her think of so many things. If she were to delve deeper, with her computer skills, she might actually be able to figure something out!

Chu Xing was also afraid that the little girl might touch something she shouldn't out of curiosity, so he quickly said, "It must be that this frog has some kind of superb medical skills, that it's so old, yet they still can't bear to let him retire!"

Although the reason was incredibly crude, the two girls, not thinking too much, believed it without a second thought, and said with a smile, "Oh, that must be it! Doctor Frog must be really working so hard! He's so old!"

Yes! That's right!

Chu Xing nodded in agreement, secretly wiping away a bead of sweat. If these two little devils really encountered something they shouldn't have, even Misaka Mikoto wouldn't be able to save them!

...

It's time to be discharged from the hospital, so I need to pack my clothes and stuff. But how could Chu Xing touch a girl's clothes? So I did something else—withdraw the money from my hospital card. Saten Ruiko did a quick calculation and found that there was at least 20,000 yen left in the card. As long as I spent it sparingly, I could get through this period!

At this moment, Chu Xing encountered two people! One was a male high school student with a black afro and a melancholy look on his face, and the other was a middle school-aged nun who wore a white-themed nun's habit with pins and had long silver hair!

Upon seeing the two, Chu Xing's eyes flashed: "Touma Kamijou? Index? You've run into these two so quickly?"

However, despite having these thoughts, Chu Xing had no interest in going up to chat or anything like that. He needed to hurry up and give the money to Saten Ruiko; he couldn't let the girl wait for him!

But as fate would have it, Touma Kamijou, perhaps equipped with an eight-times scope and X-ray vision, spotted the inconspicuous Chu Xing among nearly a hundred people in the hospital lobby!

His eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Chu Xing! Chu Xing!"

"... "

Chu Xing said he really didn't want to pay attention to it. What if he got too close to this protagonist and attracted attention? Although he might have already figured something out from the Soul Chaser in the Underworld, Chu Xing was relatively at ease because this person didn't seem to be scheming like the people in the Gateless Building.

However, if he gets too close to Touma Kamijou and attracts Aleister's attention, things won't be like this. Chu Xing believes that his ultimate achievement in creating his abilities is definitely stronger than Accelerator's, so by the same logic, he would be a more useful pawn!

Chu Xing didn't want to be anyone's pawn, living a precarious life of being schemed against. He just wanted to work hard to increase his strength, complete the mission, and go home as soon as possible! Who would want to stay in this broken world?

Are Misaka Mikoto, Tear-chan, and all the other girls appealing?

Chu Xing's answer was, of course, that it smelled amazing, incredibly delicious!

But compared to these women, Chu Xing cares more about his own life!

The electric light dancing at your fingertips is my unwavering faith in this life; only my Railgun will live on forever!

Chu Xing has said this sentence in many places, at least 150 times. But liking it is one thing, life is another!

With this thought in mind, Chu Xing walked even faster, almost jogging!

But Touma Kamijou, perhaps on some kind of superhuman energy boost, caught up in just half a minute, even with Index pulling him along! Keep in mind the distance between them was at least thirty or forty meters!

Kamijou Touma put a hand on Chu Xing's shoulder, took a couple of deep breaths, and said, "Chu Xing, why are you walking so fast?"

"Kamijo?"

Chu Xing feigned surprise and said, "Did you just call me? I thought someone was calling me from ahead. What's wrong?"

At this moment, Touma Kamijou realized that he didn't have anything to ask Chu Xing. Slightly embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to say hello, but you kept walking faster and faster, so I followed you up!"

"Uh…"

Chu Xing's lips twitched. What the hell was this? This was the first time he'd ever heard such a reason; it was absolutely outrageous! Who on earth would be so stupid as to run dozens of meters just to say hello when there was absolutely nothing wrong?

In short: the main characters are all people with nothing better to do than cause trouble everywhere! No wonder they're so unlucky, there's definitely a reason for it!

"Hey! It's you!"

Index exclaimed at this moment. She had been staring at Chu Xing intently because she felt like she had seen him somewhere before. When she got closer, she remembered that he was the same person who had saved her from being chased a couple of days ago.

"Huh? You two know each other?" Touma Kamijou was taken aback. Didn't Index tell him that he didn't know anyone in Academy City?

To avoid trouble, Chu Xing quickly shook his head and said, "I wouldn't say we know each other. A while ago, she was being chased by an unknown young man in a black trench coat with no hair. I found it suspicious, so I stepped in to help and shield her."

Chu Xing's words were only half true, but Index also didn't know the full story, so she assumed it was true and nodded, saying, "That's right, it was he who called the security guards, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily... although I was later killed..."

"You're really in a bad situation!" Chu Xing exclaimed for him, then quickly clapped his hands, his face showing anxiety, and said, "Oh dear, I can't chat with you anymore, I have things to do at the hospital, so I'll have to go now, see you later!"

Without waiting for Touma Kamijou to make any move, he quickly put on a hurried look and ran off in one direction!

"Okay, see you later!" Kamijou Touma waved to Chu Xing's departing figure and called out loudly!

###23. The Academy Garden###

After finishing his work, Chu Xing hurriedly returned to the ward, and as expected, the two girls had already finished getting ready and were waiting for him!

Of course, it can't be said that Chu Xing was too slow. Saten Ruiko didn't bring much stuff, and the two of them finished cleaning up in just three to five minutes!

Chu Xing's situation was different. She tried to get a refund from the self-service machine, but the hospital was crowded today, and she had been queuing for seven or eight minutes at the machine. It was definitely not as fast as the two girls!

The two girls understood this, since some of the admission procedures were handled by Shiori Haru. The queue was even worse back then, taking a full 15 minutes!

Now that everything is packed up, we can leave the hospital. It's not a good place, and staying any longer is considered unlucky!

Moreover, when Chu Xing arrived at the hospital entrance, he had already called a taxi using his mobile phone!

As Chu Xing was getting into the car, he asked Saten Ruiko, "By the way, Saten-kun, where do you live? I'm going home with Hatsuharu-kun later, so how about I give you a ride first?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Saten Ruiko frowned. Putting everything else aside, what did she mean by "I'm waiting to go home with Haru-chan"?

Is this a cohabitation relationship?

Saten Ruiko's scrutinizing gaze fell upon Uiharu Kazari's face! She wanted to glean something from her best friend's expression!

Haru Shiori sensed the strange gaze. At first, she was puzzled, but the next moment she understood. She asked doubtfully, "Saten-san, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you know that Chu Xing lives among us? No way, no way! Saten-san, haven't you ever visited your neighbors?"

"Is he 502?"

Saten Ruiko blinked twice, finally understanding. It really was a false alarm; she'd thought her best friend was trying to steal her boyfriend… Wait, what do you mean, steal her boyfriend? Neither she nor Chu Xing did!

Seeing that Saten Ruiko was looking at him, Chu Xing nodded to confirm and said, "That's right, I am 502 among you. Maybe it's because of my existence that your relationship is better?"

Chu Xing made a joke, which made Saten Ruiko happily pat Hatsuharu Kazari on the shoulder and say, "Hatsuharu, see? We're destined to be friends, and I'm destined to lift your skirt for the rest of my life!"

At first, Shiori was quite happy and a little touched by the first half of the sentence, but the second half made her face fall. She took a half step back and turned her head to the side: "Excuse me, who are you? Do we know each other?"

Saten Ruiko immediately put on a heartbroken expression, wiping away imaginary tears: "Ah! Uiharu, were you serious about taking half a step back? Such a small movement, yet it caused so much harm?"

"Humph!"

Chu Chun rolled her eyes, secretly suppressing a laugh. Honestly, her best friend was such a drama queen! She was always the one being made to laugh!

"hehe!"

Chu Xing couldn't help but chuckle softly, inwardly marveling at the depth of their affection!

"Alright, since we all live in the same building, let's go together. With me, a Level 3 Ability User, here, I can guarantee your safety!"

"Thank you so much!" Saten Ruiko blinked her eyes, which had delicate eyelashes, and giggled as she led Hatsuharu Kazari into the back seat!

"You're welcome. It's only right for neighbors to get along well!"

"Hahaha!"

...

Next, when they returned home, they went back to their own homes and found their own mothers. Chu Xing also had to start his intensive training!

Yes, this was discovered in the last few days. Every time night falls, Chu Xing goes to some unfinished buildings or construction sites and randomly twists and turns the scrap metal or some unimportant materials! This twisting is not bending; Chu Xing twists each object down to the size of a molecule!

Only through constant practice could I sense the computational power that only LV4 users possess. Although it was indeed very tiring, in order to become a LV4 power user as soon as possible and further enhance my strength, I had no choice but to practice tirelessly!
