Looking at Triangle Head’s information panel, Xu Qing was speechless.
Could the flyer really be to blame?
Is this really an illness I can treat right now?
Though he grumbled inwardly, Xu Qing still opened the clinic’s door.
With Triangle Head’s combat power, the clinic’s door could not possibly stop him.
If so, he might as well let him in openly.
When Xu Qing opened the door, the ghost aura around Triangle Head rapidly dissipated.
Clearly, his severe injuries were still affecting him considerably.
He warily looked around. Only after confirming that everything was safe did he enter the clinic.
“You should thank this little girl.”
Triangle Head snorted. “If she hadn’t told me there was a clinic here, I wouldn’t have come looking for it.”
The Little Loli Succubus stared at Triangle Head in terror from the side, not daring to move.
As he examined the clinic, Triangle Head asked, “You aren’t planning to kill me during the treatment, are you?”
His gaze was sharp as he stared fixedly at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing shook his head and said righteously, “As a Doctor, I would never try to take the opportunity to kill my own patient during treatment, even if… you are very dangerous!”
“You shouldn’t doubt a Doctor’s character.”
“Besides, I should be the one worrying about whether you’ll kill me to silence me after your injuries have healed…”
Xu Qing looked just as intensely at Triangle Head before him.
Triangle Head froze for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.
“What an interesting little mouse!”
He gradually reined in his laughter. “As long as you heal me and keep my whereabouts secret, I won’t just spare you. I’ll also give you plenty of benefits.”
At this point, Triangle Head suddenly changed his tone.
His pair of crimson, uncanny eyes turned ice-cold.
“But if you try any tricks on me…”
“You and this succubus girl will die horribly.”
“I hope you’re a clever mouse. Don’t even think about fooling me.”
Triangle Head issued the threat coldly.
Then he impatiently urged Xu Qing to begin the treatment.
His injuries could not afford any further delay.
At this point, whether under threat or to complete the quest, Xu Qing could only heal Triangle Head.
As for the other party’s claim that he would let him go…
Xu Qing definitely did not believe it!
In his previous life, he had loved collecting strange documentary materials.
He had once seen the uncanny runes on Triangle Head’s body in an ancient book.
They were a form of evil Nether Engraving.
Those who bore such uncanny markings would transform into bloodthirsty evil ghosts.
Mercy and promises were completely unreliable!
Xu Qing lowered his gaze and pondered a solution.
Soon, inspiration struck.
Triangle Head’s current physical condition was perfect for testing the Life Gu!
With that thought, Xu Qing quickly began to act.
At that moment, the Little Loli Succubus came over and whispered, “Doctor, he’s a Bounty Evil Ghost. He won’t keep his promise.”
“I’ll hold him off later. You should leave quickly!”
The Little Loli Succubus looked at Xu Qing with concern, her voice filled with deep self-reproach. “If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have come here…”
Before she could finish, a dense wave of ghost aura swept over.
Triangle Head vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of them.
At some point, a broad butcher knife had appeared in his hand, and his eyes were completely crimson.
“How dare you badmouth me behind my back? You must be tired of living!”
Terrifying ghost aura locked onto the Little Loli Succubus, leaving her unable to move.
Despair spread across her pale face.
At that moment, Xu Qing stepped in front of her and met Triangle Head’s butcher knife without flinching. He said seriously, “I am a Doctor, and I won’t allow my patient to come to harm in my clinic.”
Triangle Head was stunned, his eyes filled with amusement.
“A mouse protecting a succubus?”
“Interesting. Very interesting!”
He muttered almost maniacally, casually put away the butcher knife, and sat back down in his seat.
Seeing this, Xu Qing let out a sigh of relief.
He looked at the Little Loli Succubus, who was frozen like a wooden chicken, and smiled. “I’m a Doctor. Treating illnesses and saving lives is my duty.”
“Besides, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing!”
Thump, thump…
The Little Loli Succubus’s heart pounded wildly.
Wow, Doctor is so warm!
In her eyes, Xu Qing’s image suddenly grew much taller!
By then, Xu Qing had already prepared his treatment tools.
Triangle Head sat on the hospital bed and said impatiently, “If you don’t want to die, then hurry up and start.”
“Honestly, I’ve already wasted more than enough time here.”
Xu Qing held the Scale-Scraping Knife in one hand and applied anesthetic potion with the other as he said, “Your wound has already begun to rot. I need to cut away the flesh. It will hurt a little.”
“You… will have to bear with it!”
Triangle Head naturally paid no attention to it.
He was a Bounty Evil Ghost. What kind of battle had he never experienced?
Injuries?
Those were nothing worth mentioning!
“Stop wasting words and hurry up with the treatment.”
Triangle Head said disdainfully, “It’s only cutting flesh. I don’t feel a thing… hiss.”
Before he could finish, a piercing pain spread from the wound.
Triangle Head glared viciously.
Yet he saw Xu Qing carefully cutting away the pieces of flesh that had been corroded.
His movements were serious and cautious.
Though Triangle Head was furious, all he could do now was hold it in.
Damn mouse.
Wasn’t he given anesthetic potion?
Why did it still hurt so much?
What frustrated Triangle Head the most was…
Xu Qing’s movements were very slow!
It was as though he were preparing a fine steak, one cut after another, with exquisite precision!
But Xu Qing was indeed treating him.
And he was doing so with great seriousness and responsibility.
Therefore, Triangle Head could not urge him on and could only continue enduring it.
After an unknown length of time, Xu Qing stopped.
“You truly are a powerful existence. You didn’t even cry out once.”
Xu Qing set down the Scale-Scraping Knife, a faint smile on his face.
In truth, he had deliberately slowed down during the cutting.
He had wanted to test the effect of the anesthetic potion on Triangle Head.
Now, it seemed…
The Life Gu could produce its effects perfectly!
“Hmph. I’ve roamed the ghost world for years. What is a little pain? Hurry up and continue.”
“Don’t think about playing tricks. Delaying for time is useless. No one can save you now.”
Triangle Head continued issuing warnings.
Xu Qing nodded, his voice still calm. “You can rest assured. Everything I’m doing is for a better treatment!”
As he spoke, his hands did not stop moving.
Everything was orderly, calm, and unhurried.
Seeing this, the Little Loli Succubus, sitting on a small stool nearby, fell completely under his spell.
She interlaced her fingers into fists and rested her chin on them.
Her eyes were filled with admiration and infatuation.
“Oh my gosh, Doctor is unbelievably handsome!”
“If this continues, I… I really won’t be able to leave him!”
The Little Loli Succubus’s breathing quickened, and her legs even began to feel weak!
