On the stairs.

Bai Yi followed closely behind Lynn, trembling with fear as he watched Lynn carrying the chainsaw with a cheerful expression. Finally swallowing hard, he widened his eyes and asked:

"B-big brother, can I ask you a question?"

"Speak."

Bai Yi said nervously: "Didn't you say you were going to help that female... female ghost just now? Why did you suddenly give her a stab?"

Hearing this, Lynn curled the corner of his mouth, adjusted his monocle, and said with a sidelong glance:

"I lied to her."

Bai Yi: "Huh? (꒪Д꒪)ノ"

A slight curve appeared on Lynn's face as he smiled and said: "Because the commission I accepted was to cure Miss Alice of Happy Home's illness, and that came with a deposit."

"As for others, of course I'll treat them if possible. After all, I'm a doctor and can't ignore sickness. But once they're cured, they become enemies. Moreover..."

Lynn rubbed his eyebrow.

"She actually dared to make me eat that disgusting thing!"

【Lynn's Resentment +1】

Bai Yi was stunned.

This... this...

Why does the logic here feel so abnormal!

Why do you have to cure her first and then kill her? That's just too strange!

Bai Yi widened his eyes, swallowed hard, and said: "Then... then what about the medicinal ingredient you mentioned earlier..."

Lynn glanced up at him and said:

"Ah, simple."

"Because that woman was lying. No one becomes a vengeful ghost for no reason, unless they were born as ghosts. But since she was human, for her resentment to be so great that it dragged the entire ancient castle down into this world with her..."

Lynn's mouth curled up slightly.

"There's definitely more to the story."

A friendly and gentle father.

A virtuous mother who could keep her children fed.

A brother who never beat his sister.

Ah!

What a happy family!

Lynn showed Bai Yi a row of white teeth and smiled:

"Ah, I forgot to tell you. Earlier, when I was cutting out that evil spirit tumor in your brain, I saw some interesting scenes."

"That freezer where you were hanging used to be his 'storage room,' hehehehe—"

Bai Yi felt chills run down his spine from Lynn's laughter.

St... storage room...

Could it be...

In an instant, some memory fragments from when the evil spirit was parasitizing him flashed through his mind - images of boning knives and "animal" carcasses hanging from iron hooks...

Buzz—

A cold chill instantly enveloped his entire body, making him shiver uncontrollably.

By the time he regained his composure, Lynn had already briskly walked up to the higher levels of the stairs.

"B-big brother! Wait for me!"

Bai Yi panicked and hurried to catch up.

......

Second floor of the ancient castle.

Lynn carried the chainsaw, a strand of hair in his mouth, and an Evil Spirit Vertical Eye instantly appeared on his nose.

After quickly scanning the area, Lynn determined the direction and smiled:

"Let's go! Through this corridor, to that tower. It's time we met Miss Alice in person."

Bai Yi trembled as he hugged the Night Demon Blade, quickly following.

But the moment they stepped into the corridor...

Buzz—

An extremely cold and sinister aura suddenly swept in from all directions.

And in the next moment, a skinned, shrieking monster roared as it burst out from one of the walls, lunging straight at Bai Yi.

Bai Yi screamed in terror.

"Don't pick on the weak one!!"

Squelch—

Lynn used the chainsaw to directly bisect the monster before it could pounce on Bai Yi.

But almost simultaneously.

The dusty stained glass on the right shattered with a crash.

Piercing evil spirit shrieks came from the black mist outside the window, and one after another, gargoyles flapped their wings as they surged in through the windows, launching attacks against them.

This wave of assault was extremely fierce.

Not just from outside the windows - from both side walls and oil paintings, skinned monsters shrieked as they emerged, crawling on all fours, rushing to attack them.

Bai Yi had never seen such a scene before.

He was almost instantly scared to the point of falling to the ground, nearly pissing himself!

"Big brother! There's too many! Too many! They're packed everywhere!!"

Bai Yi stared in horror at the tide of corpses surging through the corridor, feeling completely overwhelmed.

Lynn smiled slightly.

He tossed the chainsaw to Bai Yi.

Cracked his neck, then reached into his pants pocket.

"Ah! Times like these call for some weapons of mass destruction, hehe."

Whoosh—

Under Bai Yi's astonished gaze, Lynn directly pulled out from his pants pocket an arm dozens of centimeters thick, two meters long, with a black dragon head growing at the end.

Bai Yi (ΩДΩ)!!

What is that!

What is that!!

Something's wrong! Something's wrong! How did big brother pull out such a thick, sturdy thing from his pants pocket!

Is he cheating?!

Buzz—

Almost instantly, dense flesh and blood vines grew from Lynn's shoulder, noisily connecting that arm to his body.

The dragon head's eyes instantly lit up with magma-like crimson light.

【Ding! Arm of Dragon Breath grafting completed. Current Arm of Dragon Breath wear: 50%】

Crack—

Lynn grinned, using his right hand to press down on the twitching, ferocious Arm of Dragon Breath, leaning his head forward as he said:

"Eat shit!"

Roar—

In an instant, an ear-splitting dragon roar resounded throughout the entire ancient castle. The ferocious black dragon head's eyes surged with endless rage, as if wanting to burn everything in this world to ashes.

And right under Bai Yi's utterly shocked gaze.

The dragon head suddenly lifted, flames surging in its mouth, furiously opening its massive jaws toward the swarming gargoyles and skinned monsters.

Roar—

The blazing dragon breath was like flames that could burn away all darkness.

Wherever the dragon breath reached, one monster after another turned into black ashes amid miserable screams.

One gargoyle after another shrieked as they burned, tumbling down from the sky.

【Ding! You killed a gargoyle, you obtained 30 experience points!】

【Ding! You killed a wandering spirit, you obtained 20 experience points】

Continuous system notifications sounded in Lynn's ears.

Bai Yi's face was illuminated by the blazing flames, his eyes filled with awe and shock as he let out inarticulate cries.

So cool!

So powerful!!

Big brother is invincible!!

This is what a real man is like! Real men shouldn't waste their interests on women - if you're going to play, play with something this big!

This is true masculine romance!!

Indeed! All fear stems from insufficient firepower!

And big brother is the kind of tough guy who carries an entire ammunition depot with him!

"Oh! My! God! Oh my god!!"

Bai Yi watched with boiling blood, heart-pounding excitement, and skyrocketing hormones. He really wanted to learn this move!

Pulling out such an awesome weapon of mass destruction from your pants - this made him want to reach into his own pants too!!
