21st Century Necromancer

"Where exactly were you last night, and what were you doing?" Inside an empty classroom, two teachers from the school were questioning Student Xiaochi, who had been brought to them. He was the leader of a small clique in Classmate Shirai and Classmate Yokoyama's class and was rumored to have been bullying these two students.

But Student Xiaochi sat in the chair with a nonchalant air, a look of impatience on his face, "Annoying. Can't you be any more bothersome? What I do is none of your business, right? That's personal privacy, isn't it?"

When Yu Chen and a furious Hiromi Jounouchi arrived at the classroom, they witnessed this scene. Hiromi, already seething with rage, barged in and slammed her hands on the table, producing a loud bang that startled Student Xiaochi, and she viciously said to him, "Classmate Yokoyama has been killed, and it's a homicide. Neither the school nor any parent can cover for you!

If you don't talk, we'll hand you over to the police as the murderer! You bastard! Beast!"

Hiromi's ferocious demeanor took everyone aback. Yu Chen quickly grabbed his girlfriend, and although he too was eager to give Student Xiaochi, who still had an air of nonchalance, a good thrashing, it was really not appropriate to threaten a student like that in front of school teachers.

After holding back Hiromi, Yu Chen, amid the startled looks of the two teachers, advised her, "Calm down, Hiromi. Don't be so impulsive. He's still a child, we can't be this violent. Let me talk to him."

Having calmed Hiromi down, Yu Chen turned to the two teachers, who were still somewhat fearful, and said, "Could you two please step out for a moment? I'd like to have a word alone with Student Xiaochi."

Perhaps intimidated by Hiromi's still furious behavior, the two teachers timidly left the classroom, leaving Student Xiaochi alone in the room with Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi.

"Who the hell are you guys?" His tone and demeanor still asking for a beating, though at least he'd been frightened by Hiromi and not as brash as before; instead, there was an involuntary hint of panic.

"Surgeon. Called here to investigate a case," Yu Chen said to him with a smile, also introducing his companion Hiromi Jounouchi, "This is my colleague, an Anesthesiologist."

But Yu Chen's kindly smile inexplicably sent a shiver up Student Xiaochi's spine, making his scalp tingle.

"Do you know what a Surgeon and an Anesthesiologist are?

A Surgeon is someone in a hospital who takes a scalpel to open up a person's belly, then looks inside to see what's wrong with the organs, cutting out the problematic parts." Yu Chen still had a smile on his face as he looked at Student Xiaochi, but his words were increasingly chilling, "As for the Anesthesiologist, that's the person who assists the Surgeon during an operation. Humans feel pain.

Cutting open someone's belly with a scalpel is very painful, and a normal person can't endure such agony, so you need an Anesthesiologist to anesthetize the patient, making them unable to feel the pain.

An excellent Anesthesiologist can make it so you're awake during the surgery, watching the Surgeon cut open your belly, your chest, taking out your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to check and then put them back inside. You must have had biology class and seen a human body model, right? Just like that, taking out your organs and putting them back in.

"Don't worry, medical science is advanced now; taking it out and putting it back in won't kill you. But if the anesthesiologist makes even the slightest mistake during surgery, and the anesthesia isn't properly controlled, the person whose stomach is cut open to check their internal organs will suffer immensely.

It's a pain so severe that it makes life feel worse than death, and those who have experienced it will never forget it, not even in death," Chen Yu said.

Chen Yu's words were supposed to be just regular conversation. Even though the content might have been a bit scary, they shouldn't have caused anyone to feel afraid or terrified.

However, for some reason, Student Xiaochi felt there was a special kind of power in Chen Yu's voice, making him feel as if he had been targeted by something dangerous and terrifying. His entire body turned ice cold, as if a venomous snake was crawling on his skin, ready to claim his life at any moment. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

What was more terrifying was that as Chen Yu described the scene, Student Xiaochi began to hallucinate as if he were lying on an operating table with Chen Yu holding a scalpel, cutting his stomach open, taking out his organs one by one for examination. There was one that was red and beating... Wasn't that his own heart?

"Ah!" Student Xiaochi let out a scream of utter terror, falling backward, knocking over his chair, and tumbling to the ground.

Seeing him fall, the two teachers outside hurried back into the room. They had no idea what had happened; they had only seen Chen Yu say a few words to Student Xiaochi, and then he had collapsed. But no matter what, they were teachers and couldn't just watch a student come to harm at school, so they pushed the door open and walked in.

Chen Yu didn't seem to care about Student Xiaochi falling over. He stood up, walked over to him, and extended his hand: "Student Xiaochi, are you alright? You really are faint-hearted, aren't you? Just hearing how a surgeon operates has scared you to this extent. What if I told you about Dr. Misumi, the forensic pathologist who came with me?

She specializes in dissecting 'dead bodies~.'"

Chen Yu was, to all appearances, speaking normally, and his words might indeed have been a bit scary, but it shouldn't have turned Student Xiaochi pale with fear, trembling like a frightened quail, not even daring to take the hand that Chen Yu reached out to him, but rather struggling to get up from the ground on his own.

"Student Xiaochi, can you tell me what you did last night? You should know that this is a murder case, and the police have already become involved in the investigation. If you don't talk, the police will surely hound you relentlessly. When that time comes, neither the school nor your parents will be able to help you.

So, I'd advise you to just tell the truth," Chen Yu said, looking at Student Xiaochi with a smile still on his face.

To others, Chen Yu's smile was no doubt kind and friendly, and besides the inappropriateness of what he said, there wasn't anything else off about him. In contrast, Student Xiaochi seemed to be facing some primordial beast, completely terrified.

But the scare did its job, and under the pressure of sheer terror, Student Xiaochi quickly spilled everything he knew: "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Last night Yokoyama had asked us to meet at 8 o'clock in the sports equipment room..."
