The Otherworld Card Collector

But now it seems that the talks have broken down.

'I have to be ready.'

Ito Moeko took a deep breath.

She was sure that the other party would not dare to do anything too extreme to her, such as destroying the body after killing her, or kidnapping her and destroying her brain to sell it abroad, or keeping her as an experimental subject.

These will most likely expose details of the institute.

So don't panic too much.

I just need to grit my teeth and hold on for a day or two. When the research institute finds that they really can't deal with me, nine out of ten times they will choose to spend money to avoid disaster, choose to let me go, and then ask me not to tell anyone about the research institute.

Once he is released, his child's surgery will be in vain. The other party will probably deceive Ah Cheng and say that they will try conservative treatment first, or simply say that they took the wrong medical record to eliminate the impact of this action.

So will I choose to fight?

Ito Moeko thought about it and sighed.

impossible.

She is a family woman and is not stubborn.

If they angered the institute, they might suffer heavy losses, but their family might also cease to exist.

The longer I work at St. Julianna's Hospital, the more I understand how dark the island nation's current medical complex is behind the scenes, and I also understand how unscrupulous they are when they are really determined to do things.

Moeko Ito can only keep herself clean and not influence her colleagues around her.

In other words, not going along with the crowd is already the best you can do!

Even though Ito Moeko was a little nervous, she still plucked up the courage for Ito Makoto and stopped being so scared!

She has made all the preparations, and it all depends on what the research institute will do!

Ito Moeko subconsciously clenched her fists.

Then in the next second, she suddenly heard the sound of wind in this quiet space.

So she couldn't help but turn her head, raised her head, and looked at the corner of the ceiling.

There was a vent there, which was now spewing out something like white mist as the wind blew.

Ah this;

You don’t even want to act anymore, right?

Ito Moeko quickly covered her mouth and nose.

However, this does not help.

Because it was impossible for her to stop breathing for more than two minutes in this enclosed space.

Firstly, her lung capacity is not as strong as that of professionals;

Secondly, people’s survival instinct does not allow—

Fun fact: drowning is one of the most painful ways to die because it completely goes against your survival instinct.

The feeling of choking to death while taking deep breaths underwater but only being able to drink water is extremely painful. Some people never dare to touch water again after falling into the water because they suffer psychological trauma from choking.

But this white mist is unlikely to cause drowning.

In other words, the mist should be a spray of some kind of medicine, which will cause...

Finally, she couldn't hold her breath anymore and accidentally took a puff. Ito Moeko felt a little hot inside.

The faster blood flow made her face become rosy, like a ripe apple, which made people want to pinch it to see if they could squeeze out water.

Apple juice is delicious.

But now Ito Moeko feels that she can only drink the plum juice she secretes.

The vents no longer blew out mist, and the mist in the room was everywhere, but it no longer floated in the atmosphere.

Only then did the door open.

Moeko Ito, who was a little unsteady on her feet, clamped her legs together, her eyes empty, enduring it while looking at the person who came in.

Tendou Demon.

Tajiri is not here.

"As for Tajiri, he's already gone to prepare Ito Makoto for surgery."

As if knowing what Ito Moeko was thinking at the moment, Tendo Mako told her the current situation directly, and then looking at Ito Moeko's somewhat unbelievable expression, she grinned slightly.

I've been tortured by you for half the morning, and now I finally get some revenge.

But not enough.

Tendo Mako crossed his arms across his chest.

Ito Moeko tried hard to suppress her impulse, and then asked with a grin.

"I haven't signed it yet."

"Get on the bus first and buy your ticket later, Ms. Ito Moeko."

Tendo Mako snapped his fingers and chuckled.

"I'm sure you'll sign it."

"Impossible, you are delusional."

hehe;

"Whether it's a delusion or not, you'll know in a moment."

Tendo Mako moved sideways, and at this time, Ito Moeko discovered that there was someone standing behind Tendo Mako.

that person...

Ito Moeko narrowed her eyes, she seemed to have seen it before.

It was a boy I saw communicating with a doctor when I first entered the research institute.

And the boy was wearing the same school uniform as his child.

"You are..."

"This is Director Matou from our research institute."

Tendo Mako introduced. Ito Moeko could notice that when she introduced Matou Shirou, her tone was full of respect and affection. It didn't feel like she was talking about a boss, but rather about an emperor she loved.

Sister, do you think of yourself as a concubine?!

It doesn’t matter what Ito Moeko thinks. From now on, since Shirou Matou is willing to take action, it means that Ito Moeko will most likely become their side.

Although until now, Amemiya still hasn't figured out how Shirou Matou possesses this cheat-like ability, there is no doubt that everyone has been impressed by Shirou Matou and is willing to follow his command.

Correspondingly, Shirou Matou did not criticize them harshly like a tyrant, nor did he do nothing like a foolish ruler.

On the contrary, he is ambitious and does not hide his ambition in front of his subordinates. He knows how to assign people to the right positions, giving people the feeling that he will definitely succeed and that if he succeeds, everyone else will benefit.

So Tendo Mako laughed at Ito Moeko's attitude of "Are you kidding me?"

Seeing the look on Tendo Mako's face, Ito Moeko knew that no matter how bizarre the reality was, it still couldn't change the fact.

The high school student in front of him, who went to the same school as his child, was actually the director of the institute, or rather, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Because the real director is still the former director of the "Zha O Ward".

So in other words, my child would be deceived into undergoing that surgery, but in fact it was this guy in front of me who had a nonchalant expression and seemed to be looking down at me even though we were looking at each other?

Why is this happening? !

Moeko Ito was a little confused.

When Shirou Matou saw Ito Moeko like this, he grabbed her and refined her in an instant.

"Hey~"

He was already unable to hold on any longer, but the young man in front of him made him lose his ability to resist directly and with a clear purpose.

The other party seemed like a veteran who knew how to make me lose my ability to resist.

Finished;

Now it seems that he is being strangled by this young man.

As Ito Moeko thought about this, her mind, which was already struggling to hold on, instantly fell into darkness and her eyes became blurred.

It was at this time that Shirou Matou spoke softly.

"I don't mind you knowing that I'm from the same school as Ito Makoto."

That's why he's wearing his school uniform.

Then, regardless of whether Ito Moeko heard his words or not, Matou Shirou just signaled Tendo Mako with his eyes.

Tiantong Mazi understood immediately and nodded, then carefully left the room and closed the door without locking it.

But it doesn't matter whether it is locked or not.

Anyway, Shirou Matou is now preparing to lock up Moeko Ito.

As the door closed, the unlit room suddenly became dark as the light disappeared.

The atmosphere also became charming.

Shirou Matou turned his back to the last bit of light coming through the crack in the door, making him look like the only god in the darkness in front of Moeko Ito. Finally, after his psychological defenses were broken, he couldn't help but groan.

"Give me~"

"Well, I'll give it to you."

Shirou Matou carried Princess Ito Moeko to the hospital bed.

Neither side said much, and both knew what to do next.

Although I said no in my heart, my body was very obedient.

Ito Moeko took the initiative to cater to Matou Shirou.

The holy sword was put into its scabbard.

Then Shirou Matou realized what it means that old ginger is still spicy.

There are some things that experienced people can do much better than inexperienced people.

Tendo Mako was waiting quietly outside the door.

It was almost noon when the door opened. She then quickly stood up, stepped over the puddle under her feet, and stood in front of Shirou Matou's door, lowering her head.

"Is it over, Director Matou?"

"Well, I've already finished my side. You will be the one handing over the rest to Mengzi."

Are we already in a relationship where we can just call each other Moeko?

Tiantong Mozi was stunned at first, but then nodded.

"I understand."

As a subordinate, she suppressed her curiosity and did not ask what Shirou Matou was going to do next.

Tendo Mako quickly entered the room, sniffed the rich scent of heather, thought for a while, and decided to go back outside first. He pressed the button to ventilate the room before turning on the light.

Ignoring the mess in the room, Tendo Mako simply spoke.

"Can you stand up?"

Upon hearing this, Ito Moeko's face became even redder, her mouth slightly opened, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Stand, I can't stand up."

It's okay if you can't stand up.

All the doctors and nurses in the institute knew about Shirou Matou's bravery.

Only the director of the training center doesn’t understand.

But if he understood, then this matter would become terrifying!
