On a quiet, secluded street.
The Little Loli Succubus looked around, seemingly searching for something.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
A figure was curled up in a distant corner.
It was a ghost entity wearing a metal triangle helmet, its body covered in strange inscribed markings. Judging by its appearance, however, it seemed to be severely injured.
“Oh, you look hurt.”
The Little Loli Succubus stared at the ghost entity’s hideous wounds and said softly, “I know a place. The Doctor is very capable.”
The severity of the other party’s injuries made her very happy.
This way…
She would be able to see the Doctor again!
At this thought, a sickly smile once again spread across the Little Loli Succubus’s face.
But in the next moment!
Her expression became extremely grave, and she almost instinctively tried to retreat.
“Little girl, where are you going?”
The ghost entity raised its head.
Beneath the metal helmet, a pair of scarlet eyes gleamed with a chilling malevolence.
The Little Loli Succubus’s body stiffened.
She desperately tried to struggle and retreat, but her body was completely out of her control!
She could not move at all!
………………
The medicine was finished.
Xu Qing calculated the dangers that might occur tomorrow. After gaining a general idea, he finally drifted peacefully into dreamland.
Time passed until one in the morning.
Bang, bang, bang!
The clinic’s front door was knocked on again.
Woken from a sweet dream, Xu Qing was somewhat angry.
“Why are you knocking!”
“It’s so late. Doesn’t the Doctor need to rest?”
“Can’t you see the sign on the door saying we’re closed?”
Xu Qing was very displeased.
Could it be because of the flyer?
These ghost entities that came knocking on their own were far too impolite!
As he pondered this, Xu Qing looked toward the entrance.
Hmm?
There was nothing there?
Could they be trying to scare me again?
Xu Qing could not help thinking of the evil ghost from earlier that day.
He took out the Scale-Scraping Knife and cautiously approached.
If the fellow outside truly had malicious intentions, he would strike first and dissect it with the Scale-Scraping Knife, lest it attract the octopus monster.
Just as Xu Qing was thinking this…
He saw who was knocking!
It was actually the sickly-sweet Little Loli Succubus from before!
However, she looked completely different from before. Her entire body exuded seductive charm, and her beautiful eyes held a hint of flirtation.
“Doctor, I… don’t feel well.”
The Little Loli Succubus spoke in a delicate, feeble voice.
No wonder Xu Qing had not seen her just now. The Little Loli Succubus was short and had not spoken immediately, so it was perfectly normal that he had missed her.
However, Xu Qing felt that something was strange.
The more he looked at the Little Loli Succubus, the more suspicious she seemed!
“It’s very late now. Unless it’s something serious, you should come back tomorrow.”
Since the other party was his patient, Xu Qing did not refuse her outright.
After saying this, he prepared to return to bed.
But then he heard the Little Loli Succubus continue knocking forcefully on the door.
“Doctor, please, I really need your treatment. Hurry and let me in!” A blush appeared on the Little Loli Succubus’s pale face, making her even more alluring.
Yet precisely because of this, Xu Qing’s expression turned serious.
As expected, something was wrong!
The Little Loli Succubus had directly used a bewitching technique!
This was completely different from before!
Xu Qing grew vigilant and began observing his surroundings, searching for the root of the problem.
Soon, he saw a black shadow in the mist.
Although the other party was well hidden, a careful look still revealed some clues.
And between the Little Loli Succubus and the shadow were several faint black threads.
Perhaps that was why the Little Loli Succubus’s behavior was completely different.
Looking at the Little Loli Succubus before him, displaying every bit of her feminine allure, Xu Qing gradually understood.
The other party had come knocking under these circumstances.
Most likely, it was seeking medical treatment.
Otherwise, how could anyone willingly come to this shabby clinic?
Could it be that she had no money for treatment, and was therefore using the Little Loli Succubus to seduce him?
Or was there some other reason?
“Doctor, hurry… open the door and let me in.”
“Don’t you want to stay with me?”
“I can’t stand it anymore.”
As she spoke, the Little Loli Succubus slowly caressed her cheek with one small hand, looking as though she were waiting for anyone to pluck her.
Combined with a succubus’s innate charm, it was truly difficult for anyone to control themselves.
At that moment, Xu Qing seemed to have been bewitched. He foolishly walked forward and was about to open the door.
Seeing him like this, a hint of a smile rose on the Little Loli Succubus’s face.
But just then, she struggled to force out a voice: “Don’t… open the door. It’s dangerous…”
【Ding, Crisis Perception 60%】
The Little Loli Succubus’s warning and the System’s prompt sounded almost simultaneously.
Yet Xu Qing seemed not to hear them as he slowly turned the lock on the clinic’s front door.
But the instant the door opened!
The Scale-Scraping Knife in Xu Qing’s hand slashed out, severing the black threads.
At the same time, Xu Qing had already seized the Little Loli Succubus and dragged her into the clinic.
Smack!
Click!
The door closed.
The lock was bolted shut.
Everything happened incredibly fast.
The Little Loli Succubus fell to the ground and could not help letting out several groans of pain. Her expression, however, had already returned to normal. Cold sweat covered her forehead, neck, and body, while she continued to tremble.
Xu Qing ignored the Little Loli Succubus and looked solemnly toward the black shadow.
“You came here for medical treatment, correct?”
“If so, why did you harm someone else?”
After his voice fell, the black shadow slowly emerged from the mist.
It had a tall, sturdy body and wore a strange metal triangle helmet on its head.
Most terrifying of all, it had several fatal wounds on its body!
Yet it had not died.
“This door cannot stop me.”
A contemptuous voice came from within the mist.
Xu Qing merely shook his head and said in a deep voice:
“I know this door cannot stop you, but for some reason, you probably cannot reveal your whereabouts, can you?”
“Otherwise, there would have been no need for you to put on that performance just now.”
【Ding, Crisis Perception 80%】
The constantly increasing Crisis Perception clearly told Xu Qing that the other party had already developed murderous intent.
But Xu Qing did not retreat. With a serious expression, he said:
“Your injuries are extremely severe. I estimate you won’t survive the night.”
“I have no interest in your background. Since you came to me for treatment, I will help you as a Doctor.”
“But as a patient, you should follow my rules.”
“At least for the duration of your treatment, you will listen to me, the Doctor!”
After he finished speaking, the air fell silent.
The mist remained dense.
The black shadow continued radiating killing intent.
Suddenly…
A laugh rang out.
“A mere human like an ant actually has the nerve to bargain with me.”
“You little mouse are rather more interesting than I expected.”
The black shadow slowly stepped forward.
Under the faint moonlight, Xu Qing finally saw the other party clearly.
The intense ghost aura emanating from the latter made Xu Qing feel as though his heart had stopped beating!
So strong!
Second only to that giant from earlier today!
This was an extremely dangerous fellow!
