Xu Qing heard the Stitched Monster's quiet muttering just now.
He was very curious.
What treasure could it be?
Why was it being kept so secret?
Then he saw the Stitched Monster take a tattered wing from a chest.
“Good Doctor, this is the treasure I’ve kept hidden!”
“Speaking of which, I can’t destroy this thing no matter what I try.”
Xu Qing had not taken it seriously at first.
But after looking closely, a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.
【Ding, item obtained】
【Fallen Angel's Wings】
【Quality: Damaged】
【Description: The wings of a fallen angel that fell into the Horror World. They possess immense power, but are already severely damaged, with only one-tenth of their strength remaining. Perhaps they can be repaired after being fully collected?】
【Function: Possesses only powerful defensive capabilities.】
Fallen Angel's Wings?
Xu Qing looked at the tattered black wing, unsure how it had ended up in the Stitched Monster's hands.
Could this guy be planning to attach wings to himself and fly into the sky?
Emmm……
Well, that was not very realistic.
Although the Fallen Angel's Wings were damaged, Xu Qing could still sense the terrifying energy fluctuations contained within them.
He had no idea what level of ghost entity it belonged to.
Yet it possessed such astonishing power.
“Good Doctor, this... should cover the difference in price, right?”
The Stitched Monster grinned, revealing a mouthful of large yellow teeth.
Xu Qing nodded.
Even damaged, it possessed extremely high research value.
Moreover, this thing also had defensive properties.
That alone made it worth the price.
Xu Qing tucked the Fallen Angel's Wings into his robes.
Then, he looked at the Stitched Monster with a smile. “Boss, if you feel unwell in the future, you can come to me for treatment. Of course, I also hope you can help advertise for me and send more patients my way.”
“Leave it to me!” the Stitched Monster declared loudly, patting his chest.
This fellow looked fierce, but he was actually quite loyal.
The matter was settled.
Xu Qing did not linger.
As soon as he stepped out of the Butcher Shop, he saw that the Water Ghost and the Wrongfully Dead Ghost were still arguing.
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost was clearly beginning to have second thoughts.
“You, stop holding me back. I’m going home!”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost shouted, looking at the Water Ghost beside her with growing impatience in her eyes.
The Water Ghost’s swollen face was full of sincerity.
“I’ve said so much already. Why don’t you believe me?”
“If there were something wrong with the Good Doctor, how could he have received praise from so many of us ghosts?”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost did not answer.
The Water Ghost pressed on while he had the chance. “Butcher Shop Owner, you know that fellow’s strength and personality, right? If the Good Doctor didn’t truly have extraordinary abilities, do you think... he would have agreed?”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost wavered.
“But that fellow’s treatment methods are simply too frightening for a ghost!”
Remembering everything that had happened earlier, the Wrongfully Dead Ghost still felt shaken.
She was in the prime of her life.
She did not want her soul to scatter so soon.
Hearing this, even the Water Ghost could not help sighing emotionally.
Who could say otherwise?
The process really was terrifying for a ghost!
“Well... as long as the outcome is good, isn’t that enough?”
“Look at me. I’m strong and healthy, I can handle several ghosts in one night, and I can keep going...”
The Water Ghost continued speaking with a smile.
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost was somewhat persuaded.
At that moment, Xu Qing came over to the two ghosts.
He looked at the Wrongfully Dead Ghost and said seriously, “Miss Wrongfully Deceased Ghost, to be honest, your illness is already extremely serious. If you do not receive treatment soon, it may have a tremendous impact on you.”
After he finished speaking,
the Wrongfully Dead Ghost, who had been ready to agree, suddenly fell silent.
The Water Ghost also seemed to sense danger and took two steps back.
【Ding, Crisis Perception 70%】
【Ding, Crisis Perception 80%】
Xu Qing furrowed his brows tightly.
What was wrong with what he had said?
Why had the Wrongfully Dead Ghost suddenly developed such intense hostility toward him?
However, the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s unusual reaction did not last long.
She quickly recovered.
The instant she raised her head, a strangely excited gleam appeared in her eyes beneath her long hair.
“Since the Good Doctor has put it that way, I suppose I should accept treatment!”
Xu Qing was curious about the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s change just now.
But he did not dwell on it.
He smiled and nodded. “That’s more like it. Don’t be afraid of getting sick. No matter what illness you have, with me here, I can definitely cure you!”
The Water Ghost chimed in from the side.
“The Good Doctor is the finest Doctor in our community.”
“Once he gets to work, you’ll recover very soon!”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost ignored the Water Ghost and stared fixedly at Xu Qing.
“Good Doctor, I’m afraid there isn’t enough time today.”
“I still have meat stewing in my pot. If I go back too late, it won’t taste good!”
“Human flesh must be eaten fresh!”
It was unclear what she meant by those words.
Xu Qing assumed that the Wrongfully Dead Ghost was merely trying to frighten him.
He did not back down.
Instead, he laughed heartily. “Miss Wrongfully Deceased Ghost, you certainly know how to enjoy life!”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost froze.
She seemed very surprised that Xu Qing would answer like that.
“How about this? Tomorrow evening, I’ll personally come and invite the Good Doctor over. When the time comes, no matter what you need me to do, I’ll cooperate fully.”
Hearing the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s reply, Xu Qing continued smiling at her. “There’s no need for so much trouble. I know the way. I’ll come over myself then.”
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost did not refuse.
She lowered her head, her voice turning much gloomier. “However, please make plenty of preparations, Good Doctor, because the patient receiving treatment tomorrow won’t just be me... My neighbor will be there too!”
Xu Qing froze. “Your neighbor?”
The whites of the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s eyes filled her gaze. Her voice sounded like metal scraping across glass as she chuckled. “That’s right. The owner of Unit 204. I originally came to find a Doctor for him today, but I never expected the Good Doctor to insist on treating me.”
“Heehee, I truly didn’t expect this.”
“I have an illness too?”
The more she spoke, the more ominous she became, making Xu Qing’s heart inexplicably flutter with unease.
At that moment, the Water Ghost beside them seemed to notice something.
He leaned close to Xu Qing’s ear and whispered in a cautious, trembling voice, “Good Doctor, you... you really shouldn’t... go!”
