Something's not right here!
Why is he talking about killing you while fighting with both hands against each other?!
Logically speaking, there should only be me as the other person here.
Is he indirectly hinting at something about me through veiled references?
Is this really Wandering Souls Alley?!
The local customs are so "pure and simple" here, damn!
The Goat-Headed Monster nervously glanced outside the door.
Then looked again at the two sparking knives he was using to fight himself with.
After weighing the pros and cons.
He decided to first assess the situation!He sat on the stool with his legs tightly pressed together, trembling hands placed on his knees.
"Um... that..." the Goat-Headed Monster said dazedly, "Boss... may I ask, why are you fighting yourself with two knives? Are you practicing some powerful combat technique?"
Lynn paused.
"No, I'm just simply trying to chop off my left hand, hehehe."
The Goat-Headed Monster trembled all over, staring blankly, "Wh-why?!"
Lynn (furious expression) turned his head and started clashing knives with his Left Hand, saying, "I can't really explain the details to you, you just need to know this hand isn't a good hand—it eats people!"
"It just tried to eat me earlier, and if I don't restrain it, it might even try to eat you, customer!"
He instantly turned his head, seamlessly switching to a friendly smile, saying:
"Of course, please rest assured, with me here, it won't be able to harm you!"
"!!!"
[Ding! Goat-Headed Monster's trembling level +10]
The Goat-Headed Monster (ΩДΩ) sat on the small stool, legs clamped together, trembling.
Really?!
Why does it always feel like you're indirectly hinting that you want to kill me?!
You can't bully me just because I'm from out of town!
Even if my IQ is low, you can't insult people like this!
This is a shady shop!
If I don't leave quickly, I'm really afraid I might end up dead here.
And how could there possibly be a human running a shop in the Dark World?! Just thinking about it a little makes it clear this isn't normal! Because normal humans couldn't possibly be so at ease here!
Leave!
He finally had this thought again.
"Um... boss." he (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))) said, "When do you plan to treat me? Maybe you should go prepare?"
Lynn paused, then immediately beamed with joy, saying kindly:
"You've finally chosen to receive treatment at my shop? Excellent, customer, you've made a very wise choice!"
"No need to wait long, I'll diagnose you immediately!"
As he spoke.
Lynn (enraged expression) continued fighting knives with his Left Hand, turned around, and quickly rummaged through the counter for his stethoscope.
Clang—
(((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))
Diagnose my ass! You obviously want to kill me! It's written all over your face!
If I stay any longer, I must really have something wrong with my brain!
Shady shop!
I'm getting out of here!
Taking advantage of Lynn's turned back.
He immediately stood up quickly, trying not to make any sound, and began tiptoeing toward the door.
But just at that moment, a sudden loud clanging sound came from behind.
Followed by a furious shout.
"Trying to run?! Let you run! I'll let you dodge! You think you can hide?!"
Whoosh—
The Goat-Headed Monster, who had somehow returned at some unknown time, sat on the small stool with legs tightly pressed together, (panicked expression) nodding quickly, trembling as he said:
"Okay! Whatever you say... sob sob."
...
A few minutes later.
The Goat-Headed Monster trembled as he sat in front of the counter, one hand shaking as he pressed one end of the stethoscope against his chest according to Lynn's instructions.
On the other side of the counter, the human youth closed his eyes.
His left and right hands were still clashing knives with a cracking sound, clearly in a stage of stalemate.
But this was obviously much better than the intense knife fight from before.
After listening for a while.
Lynn slightly frowned.
Instantly.
The Goat-Headed Monster's heart leaped into his throat.
He (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))) said, "Doctor, did you find something bad?"
Right now he's not worried about anything else!
He's just worried about when this doctor might stand up and harvest his kidneys!
He really wants to say.
Goat kidneys aren't tasty at all! Really!
Lynn said seriously, "Your heart rhythm is somewhat irregular, it seems you recently experienced a severe fright that caused your adrenaline to surge. If that's all it was, it wouldn't be a big deal..."
Goat-Headed Monster (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;)))
Don't you have any idea what frightened me?!
And you're bringing it up now!
He raised his head, looking calmly at his face, saying, "But I see your forehead looks dark, your eyes lack spirit, and your lips are somewhat purple—this is most likely a sign of poisoning..."
"If you get severely frightened after being poisoned, causing rapid blood circulation, that could be life-threatening!"
Goat-Headed Monster: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
You're joking!
This doctor must be joking!
"Have you been to any places with heavy miasma recently?"
Goat-Headed Monster said blankly, "I went to a swamp."
"Were you attacked by anything?!"
Goat-Headed Monster blankly rolled up his sleeve, revealing numerous scratches on his arm, saying:
"I wasn't attacked, just scratched by some vines inside. I bandaged it and didn't think much of it."
[Ding! Assisting diagnosis, special poison "Human-Faced Vine" has been added to database.]
Clang clang clang—
Lynn quickly (furious expression) exchanged several knife blows with his Left Hand that was trying to sneak attack.
Then immediately turned his head and quickly browsed the information provided by the System.
Switching to a calm expression, he said:
"Human-Faced Vine, a highly toxic plant that grows in damp, cold places, usually lurking underground, waiting to attack passing creatures!"
"But the poison of Human-Faced Vine has a long incubation period, generally not fatal!"
Goat-Headed Monster said blankly, "What about in non-general situations?"
Lynn (furious expression) fought knives with his Left Hand while quickly browsing information, saying:
"First, avoid being frightened, prevent your heart from beating too fast, keep a calm and peaceful mind, prevent blood pressure from rising!"
And just as Lynn was distracted in that instant.
Whoosh—
Right before the Goat-Headed Monster's eyes.
His left hand suddenly expanded several times its size, revealing sharp teeth, and swallowed Lynn's head whole.
Goat-Headed Monster (ΩДΩ): "Mother!!"
[Goat-Headed Monster's SAN -10]
"Second!"
Lynn used Flesh Calamity to quickly harden his neck, preventing it from being bitten off.
Then stretched out his foot.
Forcibly propped open the lower jaw of the left hand's giant mouth, pushing hard to keep it open.
Lynn (intense expression) said: "If the venom has already spread throughout the body, then the body will gradually emit a peculiar fragrance, and at this time, it's particularly likely to attract evil creatures' desire to devour!"
"But fortunately, our potion shop is very safe, with no evil creatures!"
Slurp—
The Goat-Headed Monster, who was emitting a peculiar fragrance all over, (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))) sat there.
The several-meter-long sticky tongue hanging from that left hand's giant mouth unconsciously licked his cheek again and again.
[Goat-Headed Monster's terror level +50]
"Third!"
Lynn (intense expression) struggled to raise three fingers on his right hand while quickly browsing the information provided by the System.
"If the peculiar fragrance has fully appeared and has attracted evil creatures, then bloodletting treatment must be performed immediately—every minute delayed could be life-threatening!"
The Goat-Headed Monster in (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))) state immediately pulled out his small knife.
Stab—
He stabbed it into the major artery in his leg.
Blood immediately spurted out with a hissing sound.
"Wait!"
Lynn (intense expression) reached out, saying, "I misread! It should be drinking large amounts of water and recovery potions to suppress venom accumulation! Bloodletting is a quick way to end it all, not recommended!"
Goat-Headed Monster: "!!!"
He (ΩДΩ) looked at Lynn.
Then (ΩДΩ) looked at the knife stuck in his leg and the spurting major artery.
Why didn't you say so earlier!
Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!
I already stabbed myself!
