Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!
Chapter 39: I’m Totally Useless at This!
Then he helped her put her face back together.
Showing truly considerate qualities.
Lynn gently and mysteriously approached her, then slowly but firmly grasped her wrist, curling his lips into a gentle arc as he said:
"Actually, scaring people is a real art form, especially when dealing with those with strong mental fortitude. Merely showing them terrifying sights won't break their defenses."
"You need to go a step further..."
"Making them personally witness the horrifying phenomena happening to their own bodies—that's what will truly make them fear you!"
"For example..."
Lynn smiled gently as he spoke, gripping her wrist and gradually guiding her hand into his own chest.
Squelch squelch—
The sound of flesh being penetrated immediately came from within his robes.
Copious amounts of blood instantly stained his chest crimson.
"Can you feel something pulsating?"
"Is it still slightly warm? Can you feel the blood flowing out? That's right, just as you imagined—you're currently holding my heart."
In the regional channel.
Everyone held their breath, watching in stunned silence as blood continuously seeped from his chest in the display.
Combined with the gentle smile on his face, an indescribable, massive shudder and terrifying sense of dissonance rose within everyone's hearts.

Meanwhile in the display, Lynn maintained his gentle expression while gradually pulling the female ghost's wrist closer, advancing toward her.
The ghost's eyes were already trembling, faint traces of fear beginning to surface.
Lynn whispered softly by her ear:
"Exactly like this. You need to gradually grip the target's heart, making them clearly feel the terror of their heart being squeezed. Then you must make them watch—watch as you pull their heart right out of their chest..."
The ghost trembled as she stared at the hand being guided into his chest by his grip.
Then.
Bit by bit.
Her wrist, still held by Lynn's hand.
Slowly, gradually withdrew from within his chest.
A crimson, still-beating heart.
Tremblingly held in her blood-soaked hand, pulled out completely.

Lynn continued whispering softly by her ear: "And after you make them watch as you gradually extract their heart, the target's nerves will already be stretched to the absolute limit..."
The ghost trembled, her nerves stretched to the breaking point.
Everyone in the regional channel also held their breath, their hearts practically jumping into their throats.
Lynn slowly whispered: "And at this moment, you only need to..."
Aaaaaah————!!
Lynn suddenly opened his mouth wide, eyes bulging, instantly switching both hands into clawing gestures as he let out an unexpectedly high-pitched scream.
Almost instantly, the ghost completely freaked out 0ДQ.
An expression of utter terror appeared on her face.
Instantly broken by Lynn's sudden, loud scream.
"Aah—aah—!!"
The ghost grabbed her head, screaming in panic.
Meanwhile in the regional channel, the highly focused audience holding their breath also instantly (ΩДΩ) got scared shitless by Lynn's completely unexpected scream.
"Aah—aah—!!"
[Blood Doll SAN -50!]
[Burned Ghost SAN -50!]
[Skeleton Demon SAN -60!]
[Blood-Robed Evil Spirit SAN -40!]
The entire regional channel instantly exploded, and throughout Wandering Souls Alley, nearly simultaneous screams of indescribable terror could be heard.
"I quit! I'm not playing anymore! (ΩДΩ)!! Going home! I want to go home!"
"Mommy! Someone's scaring me!!"
"Not watching! I can't watch this anymore!!"
The entire regional channel erupted in waves of ghostly wails and howls.
Meanwhile in the display, Lynn couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, holding his stomach as tears streamed from his eyes.
He took the Faceless Demon's heart from the terrified ghost who was now 0ДQ crouching in a corner shaking, blew on it, then stored it away.
Giving her a thumbs-up, he smiled and said:
"So? Pretty effective, right?"
"This is exactly it—you need to first tense up their nerves, then suddenly create some terrifying sound effects and visuals to make their mental state instantly snap. That's how you achieve that completely unexpected effect!"
"Did you learn it?"
The ghost curled up in the corner trembling, 0ДQ as she said:
"Learned it, learned it! Don't come any closer! Waaah!"

Lynn: "???"
Lynn listened to the series of system notifications ringing in his ears.
Completely baffled.
Because this wasn't the first time this had happened.
Almost instantly, Lynn paused.
Because the system had notified him about these residents of Wandering Souls Town—all of whom he had seen in the Sight's regional channel.
Could it be that everything happening to him here was being simultaneously broadcast to the Sight's regional channel?
How utterly shameless!
Lynn's gaze immediately became suspicious as he looked around warily.
Meanwhile in the regional channel, various discussions had already exploded.
[Blood Doll]: "(Screaming) Queen! Evil Spirit Queen! I think this livestream really shouldn't continue! This guy definitely isn't the type of normal person who cracks easily!"
[Skeleton Demon]: "He didn't crack—several of us are about to crack first!"
[Burned Ghost]: "(ΩДΩ) Queen, your maid servant has already been scared to tears by him! This guy seems like he's specially trained in this kind of thing!!"
Blood-Robed Evil Spirit gritted her teeth fiercely, her fists clenching with audible cracking sounds.
Although she knew this kid was thick-skinned and not exactly normal, she never expected him to be this resilient!
It seems.
She really had to take matters into her own hands!
Otherwise, she would completely lose face in front of all these little ghosts in Wandering Souls Alley today!
Smack—
She slammed the table, gritting her teeth as she said: ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel★fire.net
"Livestream ends here. I'm going down to deal with him right now. Just wait for my good news tomorrow!"
Then she abruptly stood up, about to shut off the mirror's surveillance.
But just as her gaze fell upon the mirror, she instinctively shuddered.
"This... this guy..."
In the display.
Lynn had apparently already found the source of the surveillance. Right at this moment, he was standing on a small stool, curiously pressing one eye against the lens and peering intently inside.
Then the lens moved.
Clearly, the thing that had been spying on him had been pried out by Lynn.
After examining it carefully, he matter-of-factly (* ̄︶ ̄) stuffed it into his pocket.
