Chapter 336: Caught in a Crime Syndicate’s Trap
Just as Lynn focused intently on his manual work, he pieced together the skull, took out powerful staples, and stapled the gaps in the cranium shut with a series of pops.
Pop, pop, pop—
Then came the fine gaps between the scalp and the skull.
[Ding! Your sewing experience +1]
[Ding! Your forging experience +1]
After completing the skull suturing, the next task was installing the eyeballs.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, Lynn calmly took the basket, grabbed eyeballs one by one, and stuffed them into each of the Multi-eyed Demon's eye sockets like planting rice seedlings, with a series of pops.
He then took out a potent healing potion and evenly sprinkled a little into each hole.
The total time did not exceed 10 minutes!
The surgery was a perfect success!Immediately, Lynn took two wires from the nurse, sparked them together with a sizzle to create a shower of sparks, and touched them to the Multi-eyed Demon's heart.
Crackle, crackle—
Electric sparks flew.
[Ding! Your electrocution experience +1]
The Multi-eyed Demon instantly (ΩДΩ) sat bolt upright, his whole body foaming white froth from the electric shock, and he woke up immediately.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
He only felt like he had had a rather terrifying dream.
In the dream, there was a guy with a sinister grin who dug out all his eyes, then used a chainsaw to split open his head, ruthlessly ravaging his spirit and body.
That must have been a dream, right?!
It must have been, right?!
Lynn immediately grabbed his hand and said calmly, "The surgery was a perfect success. The parasitic infestation inside your body has been eliminated by me. Are you conscious and aware now?"
The Multi-eyed Demon said dazedly, "I feel empty-headed, like I had a very bad dream, and it feels like my head was split open..."
Lynn nodded, then raised a finger in front of his eyes and said, "A normal phenomenon. Let's do a consciousness test. Look at my hand, how many is this?"
The Multi-eyed Demon mumbled, "One hundred and eleven..."
Pop—
Electric sparks flew.
[Ding! Your electrocution experience +1]
Lynn asked seriously, "And now?"
The Multi-eyed Demon said dazedly, "Eleven..."
Pop, pop, pop—
[Ding! Your electrocution experience +3]
"And now?"
The Multi-eyed Demon (꒪Д꒪) spewed black smoke from his mouth and said, "One!"
Lynn seriously grabbed his shoulders and said with relief, "Very good, it is indeed one. It seems you haven't become an idiot. The craniotomy was a great success. You are now a normal Multi-eyed Demon."
The Multi-eyed Demon murmured, "Cra... craniotomy..."
"Correct!"
"So that means... it wasn't a dream just now, you really did cut open my head..."
"For treatment, a minor surgery was absolutely necessary!"
"But I still feel something's not right..."
"What is it?"
"My two commonly used eyes, why are they on my butt now? And the eyes from my butt... why are they on my face..."
"This is a normal side effect of craniotomy. Feeling a bit disoriented is quite normal. You just need to rest properly for a while, and you'll be fine."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Lynn smiled and sat back on the chair, then adjusted his monocle and handed the bottle of bugs that would cause immense psychological damage to anyone with trypophobia over to him.
"These are the Yuan-devouring Parasites I just dug out from your body. Can you imagine so many bugs treating you as their home?"
The Multi-eyed Demon shuddered instantly, sobering up in a flash.
Looking at those bugs in the bottle, he felt a dual discomfort, both physically and psychologically.
He was shocked and inwardly apprehensive.
Did he really cure him?!
And in such a short time!
Lynn quickly took out a quill pen, scribbled down the medical report, and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Mr. Multi-eyed Demon. You no longer need to worry about dying. Next, you just need to go back, recuperate properly, and take your medicine on time, and you'll have a super healthy body."
The Multi-eyed Demon said nervously, "Then... then what about the surgery fee?"
Lynn smiled professionally, "The cost is easy to discuss! Recently, we Night Doctors are doing image public relations. To shape the positive image of the White-robed Angels, all sorts of fees are being slashed dramatically!"
"I just calculated for you: medicine + surgery fee, plus the discount, it's only 10,000 Skeleton Coins. I'll give you another discount, 9,998 Skeleton Coins. How about it? Very affordable, right?"
[Ding! Multi-eyed Demon SAN -10]
"How much?!" The Multi-eyed Demon instantly lost his composure and jumped up in shock.
Lynn asked seriously, "You don't have the money?"
Cold sweat poured profusely from the back of the Multi-eyed Demon's neck. He picked up his money pouch and carefully counted it.
"Can... can it be a little cheaper?"
To be honest.
He wasn't without money.
It's just that this time, he really just came to look around casually, planning to buy some medicine for a few coins and go back. He never expected that a casual check-up would reveal a terminal illness!
Lynn said with a beaming smile, "Sure, 9,997 coins. Are you paying cash?"
Only... only one coin cheaper?
The Multi-eyed Demon (.;

.) placed the money pouch on the table and said, "I... I only have 8 Black Skull Coins, plus a few hundred Skeleton Coins... What do you think..."
Lynn's smile grew even more amiable, "Clothes can be pawned too."
The Multi-eyed Demon trembled as he looked at his stripped-off clothes and carefully placed them on the counter, saying,
"Is it enough now?"
Lynn carefully appraised them and said with a smile, "Still short by 1 Black Skull Coin, sir."
The Multi-eyed Demon grew anxious.
Where would I have that much money?!
I'm not some rich tycoon!
His eyes flickered rapidly, considering whether he could just run away or beat him to death or something...
But he quickly dismissed that idea.
Because right then, just fifty meters behind him, a dozen or so Night Doctors were once again ganging up on an out-of-control patient, beating them until blood splattered everywhere.

Black-hearted gang! Evil organization! Violent group!
Those eight words instantly flashed in his mind.
Moreover, he could tell at a glance that although the Night Doctor in front of him was smiling amiably, if he really couldn't come up with the money, he would definitely change faster than anyone.
And from the very beginning, there had been a little nurse standing not far away, holding a spiked club and watching him...
He didn't know what she intended to do...
"There's one thing I don't know if I can pawn..."
The Multi-eyed Demon swallowed hard and cautiously looked up.
Lynn took a sip of tea and said, "What thing?"
The Multi-eyed Demon took a deep breath, then with a rustle, pulled down his shorts, revealing a shiny little pure gold earring embedded on his (beep—).
"My earring," he said with humiliation.
Ding~~
That delicate little earring flashed with a pure golden halo.
Pfft—
Lynn (ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪) spat out a mouthful of strong tea.
He clutched his throat hard, choking and coughing violently.
"Cough, cough, cough (in pain)—cough, cough—"
The little nurse who had been standing not far away, holding the spiked club and waiting for a signal, was immediately taken aback.
