The Water Ghost’s panic surprised Xu Qing somewhat.
That guy was the security guard of Happiness Residential Community.
When his kidneys were still intact, he probably wasn’t bad either.
Why did he become so frightened as soon as he heard the room number 204?
【Ding, choice triggered.】
【Choice One: Agree to the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s request and provide treatment at her home, reward: Research Diagram x1】
【Choice two: Refuse the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s request, obtain the title “Extremely Cautious,” reward: Intelligence +3】
Research Diagram?
Although he had no idea what this thing was,
the System’s rewards probably wouldn’t be too bad.
Most importantly!
It had taken him so much effort to persuade the Wrongfully Dead Ghost to accept treatment. How could he give up now!
“Good Doctor, this matter... is very troublesome!”
The Water Ghost looked extremely solemn.
He pulled Xu Qing aside and explained, “Happiness Residential Community is very dangerous. The beings there are on an entirely different level from the Market.”
“Our community has four buildings in total!”
“Each building is more uncanny than the last, and each floor is more terrifying than the one below!”
“Moreover, every room containing the number 4 conceals a great horror!”
“Even I wouldn’t dare set foot there easily!”
At the thought of it, the Water Ghost began trembling all over.
Remembering what had happened before,
he could not help feeling lingering fear.
Fortunately, he had run fast enough. Otherwise, would he still be standing here now?
He had never expected the Wrongfully Dead Ghost to be connected to 204.
If he had known earlier, he definitely would not have introduced Xu Qing to the Wrongfully Dead Ghost!
Happiness Community had finally gained a reliable Doctor. No matter what, he could not let him throw his life away for nothing.
Otherwise...
Who would install his second kidney for him!
Hearing the Water Ghost say this, Xu Qing understood instantly.
So there was a bad guy inside!
Did this Wrongfully Dead Ghost want to harm him?
“If Good Doctor is afraid, you can refuse entirely. At worst... I’ll kill you, then wait for the next Doctor!”
After she finished speaking, dense ghost aura surged from the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s body.
A terrifying killing intent instantly locked onto Xu Qing!
【Ding, Crisis Perception 90%】
【Ding, Crisis Perception 99%】
Seeing this, Xu Qing gradually understood.
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost had Schizophrenia.
At this moment, it was likely that another personality had taken control.
Compared with the kind personality from before, this personality represented pure evil.
The human flesh she had said was stewing in the pot just now was probably real...
“You’re not here to treat an illness at all! You clearly want to harm Good Doctor. I won’t allow you to hurt him!” The Water Ghost stepped forward, spread his arms, and shielded Xu Qing behind him.
Xu Qing was deeply moved by this sight.
Look at that, just look!
This was the relationship that should exist between a Doctor and his patient!
The Real World should come out and take a beating!
“You can try.” Nothing on the Wrongfully Dead Ghost’s face revealed whether she was angry or pleased.
Clearly, these two ghosts had fought before.
Just then, Xu Qing stopped the Water Ghost and slowly walked up to the Wrongfully Dead Ghost.
“In my eyes, no matter what kind of ghost entity it is, as long as it is ill, it is my patient.”
“I won’t be afraid, and I certainly won’t refuse!”
Xu Qing spoke calmly, without a trace of fear visible on his face.
Naturally, the Wrongfully Dead Ghost did not believe him.
She let out a cold laugh. “What a righteous speech. I hope you can maintain that expression in the future, provided that... you’re still alive!”
“I will definitely Treat Illnesses for you and your neighbor!” Xu Qing declared firmly. “I guarantee it with my professional career!”
For a Doctor,
this was the most noble oath there was.
The Wrongfully Dead Ghost had originally intended to frighten Xu Qing.
She had not expected this human to be genuinely fearless.
At this point, she no longer had any interest in wasting words.
“I’ll be waiting for you!”
Leaving behind those words, the Wrongfully Dead Ghost turned and left.
At that moment, the System’s notification sound rang out as well.
【Ding, you have made a choice.】
【I hope this is the correct choice!】
【Ding, item obtained.】
【Research Diagram（unlocked）】
【Introduction: The Horror World contains all kinds of uncanny ghost entities and dark monsters. They all possess fatal weaknesses and various traits. During the process of treating or researching them, you will gradually come to understand them and use the Research Diagram to successfully find highly effective treatment methods targeting them.】
Meanwhile, the Water Ghost looked dejected.
“Good Doctor, you can’t go!”
“That fellow in 204 is very dangerous.”
“Listen to my advice. You really shouldn’t go...”
Faced with the Water Ghost’s advice, Xu Qing walked back with a smile and waved his hand.
“Isn’t the Stitched Monster dangerous?”
“In the Horror World, every ghost entity is dangerous. But as long as they are ill, they are my patients!”
“I am a Doctor.”
“A Doctor’s duty is to treat illnesses and save lives, even when the patients are ghost monsters!”
Xu Qing’s expression suddenly became incomparably serious and solemn.
Even the Water Ghost found it somewhat difficult to adapt.
He thought to himself...
This human had definitely gone mad!
What kind of sense did it make for a human to take responsibility for ghost monsters!
After his attempts to dissuade Xu Qing failed, the Water Ghost gave up.
He then briefly introduced the situation in Happiness Residential Community.
Just as Xu Qing had expected, although Happiness Residential Community was not fully occupied, it was indeed more dangerous than the Market.
If one wanted to survive in Happiness Residential Community,
first, one had to keep a low profile.
Second, under no circumstances could one answer a stranger’s questions.
Otherwise, certain death awaited!
Xu Qing kept these warnings in his heart.
At the same time, he became somewhat more cautious about tomorrow’s treatment.
Actually...
The reason Xu Qing was so persistent about treating the Wrongfully Dead Ghost
was not only his instinct to treat illnesses and save lives, as well as his desire to obtain the Research Diagram.
There was another reason: the curse!
Regarding this aspect, Xu Qing was completely ignorant.
He was very curious about what exactly this thing was.
An illness that did not exist in the Real World at all!
Just thinking about it was exciting!
As he pondered, Xu Qing opened the Research Diagram.
It contained records on five types of creatures with the traits of Werewolves, Succubi, Stitched Monsters, ghosts, and Fallen Angels.
The Werewolf research progress was somewhat higher.
The fallen angel had no progress at all.
“Looks like I need to study the fallen angel’s Wings of corruption properly.”
As he was making plans, Xu Qing saw the Little Ghost lying dead on the ground.
A Little Ghost with half his body severed was struggling to crawl across the ground.
When he turned his head and saw Xu Qing, intense malice surged in his eyes.
A frail human!
What wonderful food!
As long as he ate him, he could recover!
He was just about to attack when he saw a small knife covered in cracks appear in the human’s hand.
And also...
This human seemed to be smiling?
The next moment,
Xu Qing stepped on the Little Ghost’s spine and began dissecting the Little Ghost before him without mercy with the Scale-Scraping Knife.
As he dissected it, he murmured:
“You’re in a lot of pain, aren’t you? I’ll help you find release.”
“I’m sorry I arrived late.”
“Don’t rush, don’t scream, and don’t thank me. This is what I’m supposed to do...”
【Ding, you brutally dissected a lone ghost】
【Ding, ghost research progress 1%】
Seeing this scene, the ghosts stirring restlessly in the mist fell silent.
Was this thing really a human?
