Chapter 0005: Work and Breakfast
Chen Yu initially thought that Chengzhinai Bomei was looking for him regarding work matters, however, when he asked her about it, the expression on Chengzhinai Bomei's face appeared somewhat shy. She shook her head at him and, with a hint of mystery, said: "You will know when you come, it is not a business matter, but rather some... personal matters."
For Chen Yu, this bus route was indeed his only means of transportation, as hailing a taxi around the cemetery was nothing short of a fantasy, and he himself had not purchased a car due to the high costs associated with researching necromancy.
Taking the bus to the subway station, then transferring to the subway to reach a location near his workplace, Chen Yu spends at least 1 hour every morning to commute from home to his place of work. However, in a large metropolis like Tokyo, a commuting time of one hour in the morning is not considered long.
The making of the ritual candle took Chen Yu quite some time, and by the time he completed the production of this ritual candle, it was already past midnight.
With these thoughts in mind, Chen Yu finished organizing all the materials and molds before taking a shower to wash away the various odors clinging to his body
As the sun gradually rises and the sunlight shines upon Chen Yu, who has been meditating throughout the night, the halo originally enveloping him, formed by negative energy, gradually fades away like snow and ice under the sunlight, and Chen Yu awakens from his meditation
Seeing Chen Yu agree, Nagano Bomei finally smiled, her eyes filled with a different kind of brilliance, as she placed a delicate and compact lunchbox in front of Chen Yu: "Here, I know you must not have had breakfast this morning, this is made by me, give it a try."
However, before going out, Chen Yu must first prepare lunch for Audis. Although this black cat has already been transformed into an undead magical pet, it still needs to eat. Fortunately, Audis usually sleeps until noon, so Chen Yu only needs to prepare lunch for it and then bring a dinner for it when he finishes work.
Observing Chen Yu entering a meditative state, Odysseus, who had already finished his dinner, walked over to him. After tilting his head to examine Chen Yu, he gently leaped onto his lap, curled his body into a ball in Chen Yu's embrace, and then closed his eyes as well
In the air, a few invisible glimmers gradually gathered towards Chen Yu as he meditated, slowly enveloping both him and Audis... silently seeping into their bodies like spring rain nourishing parched land
Chen Yu works at a hospital that has a collaborative relationship with the Medical Department of Dongda University. After he completed his studies, his professor, who is also the father of Rokuro Kyubu, recommended him to this institution, where he successfully secured a position as a thoracic surgeon
Although he has only been employed for less than a year, with his exquisite skills and exceptional "medical expertise," Chen Yu has already gained widespread recognition at this hospital, to the extent that he can serve as the lead surgeon in an operation
Although Chen Yu had mentally prepared himself when he first became a necromancer, he would prefer not to always be reeking of decay if given the choice. In fact, any normally functioning living person would not wish to be filled with such foul odor.
Chen Yu reached out and stroked the fur of the black cat, which was as smooth and glossy as the finest fur, a few times. Only then did he pick up the still half-asleep black cat and place it back in its cat bed. He then brushed his teeth, washed his face, and attended to his personal hygiene before changing into a complete outfit and preparing to leave for work
Sharing an office with Chen Yu is a senior doctor at this hospital, Cheng Zhinei Bomei, who has been working here for ten years. She is a highly skilled physician and a kind person. When Chen Yu first arrived at this hospital, he was assigned to work under Cheng Zhinei Bomei, who has always taken great care of him both in his work and personal life.
"I have told you many times, just call me Bomei. I am only thirty-three this year; do you want to call me old by always referring to me as 'senior'?" Bomei Ueno shot Chen Yu a slightly annoyed glance before saying to him, "Come find me after you finish the surgery; I have something I want to discuss with you."
I have two surgeries scheduled for this morning, but they are both minor procedures, so I should be able to finish up quickly. " Chen Yu looked up at Bo Mei Chengzhinei and responded to the senior's question: " Senior Chengzhinei, is there something you need? "
As a necromancer, I often deal with materials related to corpses, and it is inevitable that I will carry the scent of the dead on me, a stench that is also the most difficult to eliminate
Of course, for a necromancer and a graduate of the Eastern University Medical School, this is not a big deal. On the contrary, Chen Yu is quite pleased to have more opportunities to practice what he has learned from books
Due to the fact that Chen Yu's home is adjacent to a cemetery, the surrounding area is quite sparsely populated, and naturally, there are no public transportation facilities to speak of. The nearest subway station requires Chen Yu to walk for fifteen minutes to reach it, and the only bus stop in the vicinity has just one route passing through. The reason it has not been discontinued is merely to facilitate those who come to pay their respects.
The medical system in Japan differs significantly from that in China. The tiered medical model means that large hospitals typically only admit patients with various complex and difficult conditions. Minor ailments, such as colds and fevers, are primarily treated by community hospitals or private clinics. Only those conditions that truly require hospitalization or surgical treatment are referred to large hospitals. For instance, the hospital where Chen Yu works mainly admits patients who need surgical treatment, so he has surgeries to perform almost every day
"Chen Sang, how many surgeries do you have this morning?" A colleague sitting next to Chen Yu suddenly looked up at him and asked.
Oh, I understand now. Chen Yu nodded. Although the appearance of the Pomeranian in the city and the illustrated book was quite suspicious, he still agreed.
Chen Yu placed the completed ritual candles into a special box designed for these candles, alongside the previously made ritual candles. After counting the quantity, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction: "After spending more than two months, I have finally gathered the thirteen ritual candles required for the ceremony! Now, all that is left is a pair of horse bones to summon the undead warhorse!"
After placing the prepared cat food next to Audis's cat bed and petting the cat a few more times, Chen Yu finally turned around and left the house
The words of Jōnouchi Kaori left Chen Yu somewhat puzzled; after a moment of confusion, he finally reacted and asked her: "Um... Kaori-san, what is the matter? Is it a work-related issue?"
After changing clothes in the locker room, Chen Yu arrived at his office and greeted his colleagues. The first thing he did was to open his work schedule for the day.
Ah, thank you, Bo Meisan from the city..." Chen Yu hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Bo Meisan, opened the lunch box, and saw that it contained two delicately crafted rice balls emitting a fragrant aroma
... ...
Having cleansed his body, Chen Yu lit an incense stick and then sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning his daily routine of meditation
