Clack!
The Water Ghost could clearly feel his heart beating faster.
【Ding, the Water Ghost's fear value toward you +10】
【
The System's notification left Xu Qing stunned for a moment.
This should be a condition derived from the special mission.
Thus, his smile grew even brighter as he tried his best to make the Water Ghost less afraid of him.
【Ding, the Water Ghost's fear toward you +20】
Why is it getting even higher?
Xu Qing slapped the table and glared at the Water Ghost. “Are you very afraid of me?”
How could the Water Ghost dare tell the truth? He hurriedly shook his head. “Doctor, you... What are you saying? Everyone outside says that you are a doctor with a very good personality and that you are trustworthy.”
Xu Qing was very satisfied after hearing this. A smile once again appeared on his face. “Trust between a doctor and a patient is very important. If you cannot trust me, then I can only resort to another method.”
【Ding, the Water Ghost's fear value toward you +10】
The fear value is still increasing?
Is he even more afraid of me now?
Looking at the Water Ghost sitting ramrod straight in front of him, Xu Qing could not figure out which part had gone wrong.
He had clearly done a very good job!
However, after the experience of his first two treatments, Xu Qing also understood that this world could not be judged by common sense!
In the Horror World, irrationality was normal!
Therefore...
It was normal for them to be afraid as well!
It was not because I had done a bad job!
Thinking this, Xu Qing rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the Water Ghost by the collar, and dragged him straight toward the operating room.
The Water Ghost was startled by this scene and instinctively released terrifying ghost aura.
His dead-fish eyes also gained a trace of killing intent.
I have to fight back!
I absolutely cannot lose another kidney this time!
But...
The moment this aura erupted, it was suppressed by an intense wave of pain.
My kidney hurts so much.
My heart is willing, but my strength is lacking!
At that moment, the Water Ghost saw the specimens covering the walls, as well as a floor full of Werewolf teeth, the blood on them having only just dried.
He fell into complete despair.
He's going to do it!
My kidney... In the end, I still couldn't protect you!
That succubus was a plant!
Xu Qing threw the Water Ghost onto the hospital bed and grinned. “Don't worry. I am a qualified Doctor. I will definitely cure you.”
“Not only will I cure you, but you will see results immediately!”
To complete this special mission, Xu Qing decided to take an unconventional approach.
As long as he completed the treatment before the Water Ghost's fear value reached the threshold, the mission would not fail!
“Guest, since you chose to trust me, I will not give up on you before curing your illness!”
“No Doctor would ever give up on a patient!”
Xu Qing declared righteously.
Then, the Water Ghost saw Xu Qing pick up a syringe as thick as an arm.
“No, it's too thick!”
“Don't stick me, yamete...”
The Water Ghost struggled in terror, but Xu Qing's strength was extraordinarily great. He pressed the Water Ghost down directly, leaving him unable to move.
Pfft!
A dose of anesthetic was injected.
The Water Ghost finally quieted down.
“He gave me anesthetic?”
For some reason, the Water Ghost instead breathed a sigh of relief.
At least Xu Qing was professional and knew to use anesthetic, right?
Lying on the bed, the Water Ghost's body and mind relaxed uncontrollably.
Then...
He saw the Scale-Scraping Knife in Xu Qing's hand!
At that moment, his pair of dead-fish eyes widened enormously!
This can't be right!
Do you need such a huge knife for surgery?
Are you slaughtering a pig?
Are you really a Doctor?
The Water Ghost panicked again.
He wanted to shout for help, but under the effects of the anesthetic, his body was completely beyond his control. He could only watch helplessly as Xu Qing walked over.
“Guest, I have already examined you. You are only missing one kidney. I will simply install another one for you.” Xu Qing said with a smile.
His gaze swept across the culture vessels in the operating room and quickly locked onto a kidney.
【Centaur Kidney】
【Evaluation: A kidney extracted from a centaur. It has an extremely powerful effect in certain aspects, but is difficult to control. Please use it with discretion.】
Xu Qing's eyes lit up!
“Guest, I think I have found a kidney suitable for you. The effect of the transplantation will definitely be excellent.”
The Water Ghost watched Xu Qing holding a large kidney in his hands. His entire body instantly broke through the effects of the drug-induced paralysis. His eyes widened enormously, and the muscles on his face began twitching as well.
No!
Don't come over!
The Water Ghost desperately tried to move his body. Sewage continuously bubbled out, soaking him completely.
“Oh? Guest, are you already unable to wait?”
“Don't be anxious. I will put it in right away!”
Xu Qing raised the Scale-Scraping Knife and plunged it straight in.
Shlick...
The Water Ghost, who had still been under the effects of the anesthetic, instantly felt himself regain clarity.
No, wasn't I given anesthetic?
Why does it hurt so much?
I'm going to die!
The Water Ghost wailed inwardly, but his body was beyond his control and began trembling violently on instinct.
As Xu Qing performed the surgery, he saw how excited the Water Ghost was and smiled with satisfaction.
This patient had excellent qualities. Not only was he obedient, but he also knew how to show gratitude.
The Horror World really is wonderful~
“It hurts...”
The Water Ghost's feeble voice was heard by Xu Qing.
He hurriedly stopped and bent down. “Guest, what did you say?”
“Good... good...” The Water Ghost's voice trembled.
“Guest, there is no need to be so polite. This is what I should do. I am truly delighted. This is the first time I have been praised since becoming the Doctor here.”
As Xu Qing spoke, tears even welled up in his eyes.
“It hurts...”
“I said it hurts!”
The Water Ghost opened and closed his mouth, but ultimately lacked the strength to say those words.
Meanwhile, Xu Qing's movements became even faster.
“Don't worry. It will be over soon!”
“My kidney is worth six ordinary ones!”
Xu Qing looked toward the Water Ghost and discovered that the latter had passed out at some point.
At first, Xu Qing was a little worried.
Then he thought about it and decided that passing out was good!
After passing out, his fear value would stop rising!
That meant he could do whatever he wanted!
Half an hour later.
The surgery was completed smoothly.
【Ding, congratulations on completing “The Listless Water Ghost”】
【Rewards: 180 experience points, 130 ghost coins, 30 reputation】
【Your level has increased. Reward: 4 free attribute points】
On the operating table, the Water Ghost's wound had been perfectly sutured.
Xu Qing was very satisfied with this.
Although the two sides were visibly different in size.
But that was a minor matter.
After all, during surgery, a few bumps and scrapes were perfectly normal.
The ghost was alive, and that was all that mattered!
After a while, the Water Ghost let out a pained scream and suddenly woke up with a start on the operating table.
【Ding, the Water Ghost's fear value toward you +10】
Damn, why is it still increasing?
Xu Qing hurriedly said with a smile, “Guest, I have already implanted a high-quality kidney for you. I guarantee that you will be satisfied.”
The Water Ghost looked at Xu Qing in terror.
This surgery would be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
It was billions of times more painful than drowning!
The Water Ghost shakily climbed down from the bed. The instant one of his feet touched the floor, he immediately noticed the changes in his body.
He felt endless strength and inexhaustible energy within his body!
His entire being was completely different!
“Could I have misunderstood him?”
“Is he really a good Doctor?”
The Water Ghost's heart trembled, and he was suddenly filled with remorse.
【Ding, the Water Ghost's trust in you +100】
【Ding, congratulations on completing the special mission and obtaining the Water Ghost's initial trust.】
【The special reward will be given by the Water Ghost.】
