Slap slap—

Lynn calmly stood up, tossing aside two blood-stained gloves and adjusting his monocle as he said:

"Excellent, the surgery was perfectly successful!"

"Just as I suspected, the original consciousness of this body has been completely taken over by you, this evil spirit. But I've temporarily removed Alice's influence over you—you now have your own independent will."

The method was both difficult and simple.

Because mental control always requires some medium to accomplish, whether it's curses, cursed arts, or ghostly energy.

And as long as you use special potions to isolate the connection between the puppet and the controller, you can temporarily remove the interference.

So.

He poured a full dose of mercury-mixed potion into this monster's brain.

Because mercury in this world has excellent effects in isolating mysterious supernatural interference, similar to materials like magic iron, black obsidian stones, and various other minerals.

His teacher was an expert in modifications, so he had extensive knowledge in this area.

And of course, Lynn had completely inherited his teacher's legacy.

Heh heh heh heh—

On the floor.

The monster lay there dazed, blood bubbling from its nose, mouth, and ears, occasionally twitching—clearly showing signs of being somewhat broken.

Lynn glanced over.

"Almost forgot."

Immediately, Lynn calmly grabbed the human skin that had been peeled off her, pulled out his chainsaw, and amid her terrified screams, removed all her excess limbs.

Then he carefully dressed her in her own skin as if putting on clothes, and meticulously stitched it up from the back with needle and thread.

Splash—

He sprinkled large amounts of healing potion over her body, and the flesh and blood began to writhe.

[Ding! Your surgical ability has significantly improved. You gained 100 experience points]

Lynn opened his dead fish eyes and crouched before the woman he had healed, saying:

"No need to thank me, since this is a paid service. Tell me, what's the deal with your daughter? Explain it clearly, and I'll give you a 10% discount!"

The Female Host dazedly turned her head with a creaking sound, looking at the man who had brought her pain and terror.

Whoosh—

She instantly opened her enormous, bloody maw.

Slap—

Lynn delivered a hard slap across her face.

[Ding! Female Host's terror of you +30]

[Ding! Female Host's attitude toward you has reached: Extreme Fear. You gained 200 basic experience points.]

"Talk!" Lynn shot her a glance.

The Female Host covered her cheek aggrievedly, like a woman who had just been brutally violated multiple times, slumped there with her chest trembling in fear.

"I don't know, I don't know, please spare me! I was killed by that vicious girl, I don't know anything!"

Lynn opened his dead fish eyes and said kindly:

"Auntie, you need to trust me. I'm here to help you. I'm a doctor—look, I've already cured your illness. Shouldn't we be more honest with each other?"

"Look at you now, so beautiful."

Bai Yi trembled as he swallowed hard.

Because he realized Brother Lynn's attitude shifts were just too rapid. How could he calmly chop off most of this monster's limbs while simultaneously wearing such a kind expression?

Was this the law of survival in this world?

Wide-eyed, he quickly tore off a piece of tablecloth and rapidly recorded everything using charcoal from the fireplace.

This was all valuable experience!

Priceless experience!

The woman looked at Lynn's kind smile and grew even more terrified, hugging her chest as she trembled:

"That... that girl... she's a vengeful ghost! Back in our world, she... she murdered our entire family in a deranged frenzy..."

As if recalling something utterly terrifying, her eyes trembled even more violently.

"She cut open my stomach... forced me to eat... made me eat and eat... until my stomach split open... kept eating until I literally burst to death... she's a damned crazy girl!"

Her eyes filled with venom as she thought of something.

Lynn stroked his chin and said, "Oh? Then why would she do that to you?"

The Female Host's gaze shifted evasively as she said venomously, "Because she hates me! She's an inhuman lunatic!! She's been mentally unstable since childhood!! She would torture animals! Cut sparrows and rabbits open alive with a knife... she... she deserves to die!"

[Ding! You triggered a quest: The Vicious Daughter. Quest objective: Kill Alice. Quest reward: Female Host affinity +100, Skeleton Coins +500, basic experience +500]

Lynn smiled slightly and said:

"It seems you really hate her too. How fascinating. Don't worry, with me here—didn't I come here specifically to treat people?"

The Female Host immediately trembled and said, "Yes! Yes! Doctor! That evil ghost is sick! She needs treatment! As long as you can cure her and hand her over to me, you can have anything you want! I... I can give you the entire Ancient Castle!"

Lynn smiled and said, "That sounds tempting."

The Female Host said joyfully, "So... you agree?"

Stab—

Lynn plunged a knife straight through her chest.

Crimson blood instantly sprayed from her back, staining the wall behind her.

She stared dazedly, large amounts of blood bubbling from her mouth as she said:

"You... you..."

The corners of Lynn's mouth curled upward as he said, "Ah! Yes, I think I roughly understand that little brat's symptoms now. Don't worry, I'm a professional. Since she called me here to treat her, I'll definitely cure her. So why don't you serve as my medicinal ingredient instead."

Bai Yi stared blankly as the charcoal pencil in his hand clattered to the floor.

Clearly.

He too was shocked by Lynn's erratic behavior.

One moment he was all smiles and kindness, the next he was stabbing the other party.

This... this...

Was this even human?

"Zuo Zuo, preserve this properly, don't digest it. Whether we can cure that Little Girl depends on them."

With a whoosh.

Zuo Zuo opened its enormous mouth and swallowed the terrified woman in one gulp.

Lynn wiped the blood from his hands, stood up with a smile, adjusted his monocle, turned to look at the stunned Bai Yi beside him, hoisted his chainsaw over his shoulder, and said:

"Let's go! On to the next location!"

After saying this.

Lynn ( *￣︶￣ ) carried his chainsaw over his shoulder and strode confidently toward the staircase leading upstairs, his expression showing no signs of being affected by any discomfort.

Is this person... is his mind actually normal?!

Bai Yi stared wide-eyed, swallowed hard, and hurriedly followed after him.

Soon.

The Main Hall returned to silence.

A flash of lightning streaked across the pitch-black window outside, casting the long shadow of a little girl onto the blood-stained wall.
