Chapter 154: Finally Seeing a Return on the Money
A chilling wind howled through the black mist swirling in the streets. There was nothing behind them, and their tightly wound hearts slowly began to relax.
As creatures of this Dark World, they understood the tactics of the malevolent spirits here all too well.
As long as you don't stare.
They would appear right behind you the next moment, launching their assault.
"Not behind us?"
"Not behind us."
"Not there."
The Twin Ghost Shadows secretly sighed in relief, wiping the cold sweat from their brows. But just as they were about to turn their heads,
they suddenly realized something was wrong.
There were clearly only two of them.So whose was that third voice just now...?
(((;

)))
They almost instinctively turned their heads.
Right in front of them.
The young man who had been sitting under the distant streetlight just moments ago was now standing directly before them, lifting his head to stare straight into their faces from close range.
The young man grinned, revealing a friendly smile.
"..."
"GHOST!!" The Twin Ghost Shadows instantly let out terrified screams, reflexively hugging the nearby lamppost and scrambling several meters up it in panic.
[Ding! Twin Ghost Shadows' terror toward you +40]
[Ding! Twin Ghost Shadows' terror toward you +10]
That scare nearly made them shoot their bile out in fright.
"Sorry for startling you."
Lynn looked up politely, gazing gently at the terrified Twin Ghost Shadows slowly sliding down from the lamppost.
He tried his best to appear friendly, then amiably pulled out a business card and offered it, saying:
"I was passing by and happened to see you two sawing yourselves, so I couldn't help watching for a while. This is my business card. As you can see, I'm a doctor."
The Twin Ghost Shadows trembled as they reached out, shakily taking the business card, and asked:
"Are you human or ghost?"
Lynn paused for a moment, then flashed a perfect smile, adjusting his monocle as he said:
"Of course I'm human. Not just human, but a good person at that."
Seeing that Lynn didn't seem immediately intent on attacking them, the Twin Ghost Shadows hesitantly released the lamppost, but still instinctively maintained a two-meter safety distance from him.
Because this guy looked way too normal.
But precisely because he looked too normal, it made him feel even more abnormal.
"Why were you staring at us for so long?"
The Twin Ghost Shadows asked warily.
Lynn chuckled and said: "Well, you see, I'm a doctor. I noticed you two operating on yourselves with saws, but after observing for over ten minutes, your saws were still stuck in the middle position, neither up nor down, seemingly encountering some difficulty."
"So I specifically came to ask if you two might need help from a real doctor?"
The Twin Ghost Shadows glanced at each other suspiciously.
Then their eyes narrowed.
Clear malice appearing in their gaze.
"Brother, is this guy making fun of us?"
"Little brother, I'm feeling really annoyed right now!"
Screech—
The Twin Ghost Shadows narrowed their eyes, instantly pulling out the saw connecting them in the middle, clicking it apart into two halves, each holding one piece.
Crimson blood dripped steadily from the saw blades.
But before they could take even one step forward, their bodies suddenly froze stiff.
Vroom vroom—
The sound of a chainsaw revving.
Lynn cheerfully pulled the starter cord on his chainsaw, the sharp blade roaring to life as it spun before them, and he blinked:
"How about using mine instead, you two? Guaranteed fast and effective, and completely painless."
The Twin Ghost Shadows stared blankly at the two thin saws in their hands, then glanced at the roaring chainsaw in Lynn's hand.
They subconsciously swallowed hard.
Then quickly hid their little saws behind their backs.
"No need! No need!"
The Twin Ghost Shadows laughed nervously, avoiding eye contact, scratching the back of their heads while cold sweat poured down, trembling as they said:
"We were just sawing for fun, no need to trouble you. Besides, we're very poor, we can't afford a doctor. I think we should just forget about it, what do you say, ha...haha..."
[Twin Ghost Shadows SAN -5]
[Twin Ghost Shadows SAN -6]
Lynn said seriously: "It's fine, I won't charge you. Because my teacher said that charging in the shop is the rule, but practicing medicine outside requires a warm heart. As a medical angel, I strongly agree with this principle."
Vroom—vroom—
He pulled the chainsaw cord a couple more times.
[Twin Ghost Shadows SAN -10]
The Twin Ghost Shadows sweated profusely, taking a dazed step backward, (((;

))) saying:
"Um... people with such warm hearts like you are really rare, ha...haha... but there's really no need to trouble you... we think things are actually pretty good like this~"
"Right, brother?"
"Yes, yes, little brother."
The two of them nodded frantically like pounding garlic.
Lynn immediately looked quite troubled, then after some thought, he finally seemed to reach a decision, reluctantly reaching into his chest pocket and pulling out two cards, handing them to the Twin Ghost Shadows.
They took them, examined them carefully, and then their faces filled with shock.
[Bloodsaw Potion Shop 20% Off Coupon]: Use this item to visit the Bloodsaw Potion Shop in Wandering Souls Alley and find Doctor Lynn to enjoy 20% off all items.
And sandwiched between these two cards were actually about ten Skeleton Coins.
"This... this..."
The Twin Ghost Shadows were stunned.
Lynn coughed lightly and said in a low voice:
"Because this is the first time I've encountered conjoined beings like you two. In medical history, coming across such a case is truly rare. As a doctor, I simply can't suppress my excited heart."
He lifted his head, adjusting his monocle, the lens reflecting the streetlight's glow.
"So please give me this opportunity to prove myself. Consider these two coupons and Skeleton Coins as meeting gifts to compensate you both."
Lynn said hopefully: "What do you say?"
The Twin Ghost Shadows stared in shock at the hopeful expression on Lynn's face, then looked at the coupons and Skeleton Coins in their hands.
They felt their entire worldview was being massively challenged.
After all these years.
Every time they went to see a doctor, it left them bankrupt and drowning in debt. But today, they were actually seeing money coming back to them!
Could this count as bribery?
This was truly the first time they'd ever encountered a doctor who wanted to perform surgery on them while paying them!
This... this...
...
A few minutes later.
The Twin Ghost Shadows stood there sweating profusely and nervously, one hand braced against the wall, the other gripping the lamppost, fearfully exposing the connecting area between them.
Vroom—vroom—
Across from them, Lynn looked serious as he vigorously pulled the chainsaw cord, increasing its rotation speed.
The Twin Ghost Shadows swallowed hard twice, trembling as they asked: "Doctor, is everything you said true? It really won't hurt at all? And you can guarantee the surgery will be successful?"
Lynn focused on pulling the chainsaw, saying seriously: "Don't worry, my teacher is a renowned chainsaw expert, and I've perfectly inherited all of my teacher's strengths."
"You... how many days have you been learning?"
"Two days."
"!!!"
