Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!
Chapter 18: The Adorably Cute Appearance
Lynn stared wide-eyed, cold sweat soaking through the back of his clothes. Updates are released by nοvelfire.net
But no matter what, since he came here for treatment, it meant his life was not in immediate danger.
Lynn’s eye twitched uncontrollably as he put on his mask, staring at that blood-red giant mouth and the rows of sharp teeth stained with flesh and blood.
“Don’t worry, it can definitely be cured. A toothache is just a minor problem!”
“Which tooth is hurting?”
Lynn asked, eyes wide.
“The molar—”
That baby-headed voice came out.
Lynn peered into the giant blood basin of a mouth, but it was too deep inside and the lighting too dim to see clearly.
Lynn gritted his teeth and made a bold decision.
“Open your mouth wide. I’ll diagnose it right now.”
“Ah—”
The baby-headed creature opened its mouth wider.
[ Ding! You have triggered the quest: Treat the Toothache. Quest rewards: Special reward x1, ???’s favor +50, Skeleton Coins +1000. Quest failure penalty: None.]
Lynn: “!!!”
Of course, none!
Because I’m definitely going to fail. What else could it be?!
Lynn took a deep breath, calming his mind.
At times like this, you can only try your best with whatever you have.
Stay calm, stay calm!
Just treat it like an ordinary kid!
You can do this!
Lynn cautiously climbed onto the baby-headed creature’s mouth, jumped onto its tongue coating, and, holding back the stench, headed toward the molar.
The deeper he went, the worse the stench became.
“No light, I can’t see clearly!” Lynn shouted.
A terrifying scene unfolded.
A tentacle slowly extended toward the baby head’s upper area, then Lynn immediately saw the tentacle wrapping around one of the baby’s eyeballs and entering the giant mouth.
Suddenly, a pale light illuminated the entire oral cavity.
Lynn was drenched in cold sweat.
“Now it’s clear!” he shouted.
He didn’t dare delay and turned his gaze toward the direction of the molar.
Faintly, he could see all around the teeth, various remnants of “food” stuck everywhere—broken hands, shattered skulls, entrails, and rotten flesh. It was an extraordinarily horrific and ghastly scene.
Obviously, this monster’s diet was very rich.
[SAN -1]
[SAN -1]
Lynn endured the heart-stopping terror and began searching carefully.
In the next moment, his gaze instantly landed on a long spear stuck in the molar.
[ Holy Spear (Damaged)]
[ Quality: Legendary ]
[ Description: A spear dropped from an unknown world into the Dark World, imbued with holy blessings. It has strong restraining effects on evil spirits, eerie creatures, and demons.]
Lynn’s heart stirred.
It seemed he had found the cause of the monster’s toothache.
But what he never expected was that this was a weapon from outside the Dark World with the same function as the Demon Hunter’s pistol.
And it was holy attribute—could it be that this spear caused the monster intense pain?
Lynn’s expression was hesitant.
He cautiously approached and immediately saw that a sticky severed hand was still attached to the front of the spear.
Obviously,
The spear’s wielder
Had been swallowed whole by the monster. The rest of the body had already been digested, but the weapon was stuck hard in the monster’s tooth.
“Customer! I found the cause of the toothache!” Lynn shouted.
That delicate, horrifying voice came.
“Pull it out—can’t pull it out—eat it—”
Lynn steadied his mind.
Then his gaze instantly landed on the many severed limbs and arms around the molar.
[ Eye Demon Medic’s Tentacle Fragment x1 ]
[ Evil Spirit Witch Doctor’s Arm x1 ]
[ Purgatory Mad Doctor’s Eyeball x1 ]
Lynn’s heart pounded fiercely.
Obviously, this damn thing hadn’t swallowed its first doctor yet.
It must have visited many doctors before coming here, and judging by the situation, this patient’s temper was definitely not small.
If it says it will eat you, it absolutely will!
But Lynn soon found a common point among those doctors—they were all monsters from the Dark World.
And this spear clearly had a very strong restraining effect on monsters.
Their inability to pull it out obviously had a reason.
But he was different.
He was human.
He wouldn’t be restrained by holy power.
Maybe this would become his great advantage.
Lynn steadied his mind, approached the stinky molar, moved his hands, then grabbed it firmly.
Buzz—
The spear emitted a faint, dim glow and quickly faded away.
No backlash!
Just as he guessed.
Lynn steadied his mind.
“I’m going to pull it out!” Lynn shouted.
Then Lynn immediately exerted all his strength, gripping the spear with both hands and bracing one foot against the molar, pulling hard outward.
He used all his strength because his life was on the line. Now it depended on whether he could pull out this thorn!
If he pulled it out, everything would be fine!
If not, he would be mixed in a stew with his colleagues around here!
Crack crack—crack crack—
“It’s loosening!”
The eyeball that was lighting for Lynn showed a joyful expression.
Seeing success within reach, Lynn pulled the spear out even harder, gritting his teeth, but his strength was still too small. Besides slight loosening, pulling it further outward became increasingly difficult.
“Give me a hand! Give me a hand!”
Lynn gritted his teeth and shouted at the tentacles excitedly watching outside the mouth.
A brief pause.
The tentacles immediately swarmed in, wrapping around Lynn’s waist one by one, pulling hard outward.
But besides nearly giving Lynn a brain hemorrhage from the strangling, the spear’s progress was still extremely slow.
Lynn grew anxious.
“Stop for now! Listen to my command. When I say 1 2 3, everyone pulls together. Got it?”
“Got it—”
Lynn took a deep breath.
Held the spear tighter, expression growing serious.
“One!”
“Two!”
“Three!”
“Pull!”
Lynn shouted.
Instantly, Lynn and the tentacles all pulled with all their might.
“1 2 3! Pull!”
“Hup!”
“1 2 3, pull!”
Pfft—
With a huge momentum, the spear was finally yanked out of the mouth by Lynn and the many tentacles, flying out and landing heavily on the ground.
“Success!” Lynn stared blankly at the spear.
So that meant, he finally wouldn’t die?
[ ???’s favor +20 ]
“But— it still hurts a lot—”
The giant head with its mouth open lowered one eyeball, its gaze like a spotlight shining down on Lynn.
Lynn looked inside and his gaze landed on the large hole left in the tooth after pulling out the spear.
At this moment,
The hole was spurting blood like a fountain.
“Wait a moment!”
Without a word, Lynn smiled slightly, rushed back to the shop, rummaged through boxes, and took out a large amount of anesthetic and hemostatic medicine.
Since the foreign object had been pulled out, the next steps were much simpler.
And if you ignored the monster’s horrifying appearance, it wasn’t much different from other customers.
He dashed back.
“Bleeding is a normal reaction, but to fully recover, further treatment is needed!”
“Keep your mouth open and don’t move.”
Having found the cause and pulled out the culprit spear causing the toothache, the following matters were much easier.
After all, this was his area of expertise.
Lynn’s expression was serious as he quickly climbed back into the mouth, reaching the bleeding molar.
This time he was much more skilled.
Although the hole was only fist-sized, it had obviously penetrated the root of the tooth. He hadn’t looked carefully earlier, but now it was clear the inside of the tooth had been invaded by holy power, faintly shining.
Clearly,
The holy power leaking out was continuously causing pain to the monster.
But the bleeding was too severe.
It was very difficult to apply the hemostatic and pain relief medicine deep into the tooth root.
Lynn thought for a moment.
His gaze immediately landed on the eyeball that had followed him in to check the situation, and on the blood-red tentacle beside it.
Smooth and cute-looking.
Smooch—
Lynn quickly grabbed that tentacle.
“Customer, do you want to keep this tentacle? I need to use it to stop your pain!”
Lynn shouted.
“Eh—”
Pfft—
Lynn cut off that adorably cute tentacle in one slice.
The baby-headed monster: “(ΩДΩ)!!”
