Chapter 387: Chapter 228 Wait, He Entered the Morgue?!_2

Every room was for single occupancy, and as Koichi Kojima peered through the window, judging just from the interior setup, nobody would think of it as a hospital room at first glance—more would mistake it for some upscale studio apartment.

However, all this came at a price: the hospital’s accommodation fees were astronomically high, and not even Kojima, a fairly polished TV host, had ever been here before.

Now, it seemed like the magician was pondering something. He stroked his chin, gazing calmly into the room, standing there for a long while, without moving an inch.

"It appears our magician Mr. would like to visit a patient? In the spirit of non-disturbance, let’s wait until he’s finished visiting this patient before we conduct the interview," Kojima said in front of the camera, finding a suitable excuse for his secret filming, and continued, "So next, let’s see what Jiang Shu will do, shall we?"

"He glances around, steps into the room, who exactly is he going to visit? We can ask this question later..."

"He’s pushing the room’s serving cart out?!"

"He lifted the lid on the cart... he stole a chicken?!"

In that instant, the surprise in Kojima’s voice was just as evident as the stream of "???" from the twenty-five thousand viewers.

One had to admit, as Lonely City’s first magician, Jiang Shu moved incredibly fast, coming and going like the wind. In the blink of an eye, he wheeled out the serving cart from the room, peered at the chicken inside after lifting the lid, then turned and pushed the cart towards an even more secluded area.

Throughout these actions, his expression remained calm, like that of a seasoned criminal with a stable mindset.

The barrage of comments leisurely floated by—

"WTF, stealing a chicken to eat?"

"I’m starting to believe this isn’t scripted, this kind of absurd stuff only happens in real life."

"Kojima, hurry up, Jiang Shu is getting away!"

Seeing this comment, Kojima quickly followed suit. He knew it might not be great to continue filming secretly, but looking at the now twenty-eight thousand viewers, he didn’t slow down at all.

He couldn’t let down these twenty-eight thousand people, could he?

He found his reason in his heart.

In a stairwell, Jiang Shu stopped, and Kojima, hiding around the corner ten steps away, did the same. He held back Ooishi and gestured for him to extend the camera a bit to film, keeping the equipment and the two of them behind the corner to avoid detection by Jiang Shu.

On the screen, Jiang Shu opened the lid of the serving cart. He looked at the slippery whole chicken drenched in chili oil and reached out his hand, suspending it over the dead chicken’s head.

Before this scene, both Koichi Kojima and the audience in the comments showed immense curiosity and a faint sense of expectation.

"Seems like he’s not just looking to eat the chicken."

"Could it be that he wants to resurrect the chicken?"

"Holy shit, the chicken moved!"

In the video, the familiar act was still playing out, with Jiang Shu grasping at the air above and putting it into the chicken’s body, and while muttering under his breath, in just three or four seconds the chicken jerked as if having a spasm.

Immediately, a barrage of question marks furiously scrolled across the public screen.

"???"

"A cooked chicken can be resurrected?"

"Doctor, can it be saved even though it’s cooked?"

Then, a scene that left everyone’s jaw dropped occurred—the chicken actually stood up.

Like waking from a deep dream, it emerged from its dormant state, then wriggled its neck, shook its body, causing the chili oil to drip onto the floor.

"Cluck-cluck—da!" The little rooster emitted a crisp and loud crow, then leaped, flapping a pair of fleshy wings, off the serving cart, but perhaps because it had no feathers, it tumbled solidly, thus screeching, "Cluck-cluck—gah!"

The rooster was instantly in pain; the strange environment and the slick feeling on its body made it feel very insecure, and the stinging scent of the chili oil kept pressing on its sensitive and fragile nerves, so it hastened its claws, pattering away quickly, leaving only a trail of red chicken footprints.

To the side, Jiang Shu surged to alertness as if he suddenly realized he caused trouble; he looked up searching for cameras around, and only after confirming that this stairwell didn’t have any, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, he took out a portable short-handled mop from under the serving cart and swiftly wiped away the red oil stains on the floor, put the serving cart’s lid back on, pushed it behind the stairwell as if nothing had happened, and quickly left the scene.

"Holy shit, did the chicken really come to life?"

"???"

"This magician is definitely not normal!"

"Undead Mage requests to join the battle!"

The comments ignited all at once for a moment, making Koichi Kojima’s head spin, and he didn’t know what to do now, the logic-defying scene was undermining his worldview, leaving him speechless for a while.

As luck would have it, the chicken, right after leaving the vicinity of the serving cart, dashed towards the corner where Koichi Kojima was, took a turn and scurried away from his feet. Kojima didn’t have time to react, but Ooishi beside him made an extremely swift move and kicked out.
