Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 350: Something Off About the Photo

And in the blink of an eye, Lynn glanced over, the benefits of high Agility being demonstrated to the fullest at this moment.

He abruptly rolled to the side, all four paws landing firmly on the wall, instantly dodging the figure's attack.

Scratch—

Deep claw marks were left on the floor where Lynn had just been by those sharp claws.

The Dog-Eared Girl revealed her figure from the darkness.

"Hiss!"

Her eyes were blood-red, all the fur on her body stood on end, and the frenzy caused copious amounts of drool to flow from her mouth.

Her long tail stood upright like a fencing sword.

Lynn swiftly retreated, holding the book in his mouth, glancing at the Dog-Eared Girl opposite him.

"Impressive, you've already learned how to climb walls?""But you've been messing with me for so long, it's about time you took a rest, Miaomiao."

The Dog-Eared Girl's eyes were blood-red;

she couldn't hear his words at all. In an instant, she arched her back and launched another lightning-fast attack at him with blinding speed.

Swish—

Under the assault of her sharp claws, one deep claw mark after another was left on the walls.

"Meow!"

[Ding! Your Cat Transformation Curse has stacked to 11 layers!]

[Ding! Your Cat Transformation Curse has stacked to 12 layers!]

Accompanied by the frantic cat cries echoing in his ears, the effects brought by the curse also began to stack continuously on him.

But Lynn paid it no mind. He narrowed his eyes, turned swiftly, and sprinted madly toward the direction of the Main Hall.

And the moment he rushed into the Main Hall.

The glow of the candlelight in the hall illuminated the surroundings brightly.

And at this very moment, Lynn slammed on the brakes, turned around, and looked at the Dog-Eared Girl chasing after him frantically from the corridor.

Tentacles abruptly shot out from his body, then grabbed both sides of the book.

"Miaomiao! If I call your name, dare you answer?!"

Lynn shouted.

And almost simultaneously as he shouted, the Dog-Eared Girl let out a sharp cat cry, her eyes blood-red as she leaped up fiercely and pounced toward him.

But also almost at the same time, Lynn drove his tentacles, violently opening the book in his mouth, "The Book That Makes You Drowsy Just By Looking At It."

Under the illumination of the candlelight in the Main Hall.

The densely packed handwriting in that book was instantly reflected in the blood-red eyes of the Dog-Eared Girl.

Buzz—

Almost in that instant, her crimson pupils abruptly contracted.

And her figure, which had pounced through the air, landed on the ground all at once, as if controlled, her eyes firmly captivated by the text within the book.

Her steps became slow.

The eyelids on her dog-like face also seemed to be enchanted, slowly and heavily drooping downward.

"Meow?"

Her eyes gradually became dazed and blurry.

[Ding! The target is affected by the sleep curse anomaly, willpower weakened.]

And almost at the same moment, even though Lynn hadn't directly seen the content within the book, he also fiercely felt that intense urge to read.

It seemed the book in his hand carried a mysterious magic.

It would make all creatures around unable to resist the desire to read, to peek!

At this moment.

Lynn also immediately understood why the Night Doctor Aier in the file records had made operational errors.

It wasn't because she was stupid.

But because the negative effects brought by this [002·8] were simply too great.

Lynn desperately restrained the book in his hand, struggling to overcome his own desire to read it.

Fall asleep already!

If you don't fall soon, I'm going to fall instead!

[Ding! You are continuously being affected by an abnormal status, current progress 32%]

[Ding! You are continuously being affected by an abnormal status, current progress 45%]

As the System prompts ringing in his ears grew increasingly intense.

Lynn knew.

His own Willpower was also about to give out.

And the Dog-Eared Girl directly opposite him also had increasingly unsteady steps, her gaze growing more and more dazed, already in the state of Schrödinger's cat—about to fall but not quite fallen yet.

And finally, just when Lynn's Willpower was depleted to 92%.

With a *thump*.

The Dog-Eared Girl opposite the book finally tilted and fell to the ground, snoring as she fell into a deep sleep.

Lynn immediately forcefully closed the book in his hands, then quickly grabbed a piece of cloth and pressed the book underneath it, avoiding visual contact.

After doing all this, Lynn sat on top of the book, panting heavily.

If he had been just one step later.

Then he would probably have immediately lost his rationality, tempted by the content of this book, and couldn't help but read it. And if it had come to that, he would likely have suffered the same disaster as that Night Doctor Aier.

It would be like someone smiling and holding your hand when you open your eyes, saying to you:

"The surgery was a success, you are now a cute cat-eared girl too~"

That really is something that would feel exceptionally horrifying just thinking about it.

After resting for a moment.

Lynn immediately got up, walked over to the Dog-Eared Girl, and glanced at her.

Two words instantly flashed through his mind.

While it's still warm.

Pah!

Shaking his head rapidly to dispel those strange thoughts from his mind, Lynn's expression calmed down.

Because even though he had subdued Miaomiao.

His task was not yet completed.

He still hadn't found the cause of her abnormality, and only by completing her cure could he obtain the System's reward.

What was causing her abnormality?

Lynn quickly extended a paw, calmly opened her bag, wanting to find some clues inside.

[A stack of yellowed photos] [A small cat plushie] [Two small dried fish] [A bottle of catnip]

Snap—

Lynn calmly raised his hand, looking at the mousetrap clamped on his paw.

And also a [Mousetrap].

These were all the possessions inside this Dog-Eared Girl's bag.

Lynn calmly and swiftly spread out the stack of photos on the floor, carefully examining them under the candlelight from the counter.

The images on those photos were, without exception, all pictures of this Dog-Eared Girl together with her adoptive parents.

And from this, it could actually be seen.

This child truly missed her former family.

But there was one thing that was very strange.

That was, the her in the photos was no different from her current appearance, also a canine-type creature. So why didn't she have an abnormal outburst when she saw herself in the photos?

This was a question Lynn had been pondering since earlier.

Because when she took out the first family portrait, her appearance in it was also that of an Akita dog's face.

But she had no reaction at that time.

It was only later, when she saw herself in the mirror, that she had the abnormal outburst.

Lynn pondered.

"Is there something wrong with these photos?"

Lynn immediately took out the Plague Doctor Mask from his System Space, put it on his head, then slowly slid the lenses, switching through various observation modes.

[Curse Perspective], no problem.

[X-ray Perspective], no problem.

But just as he switched the observation mode to [Cursed Arts Perspective], his pupils abruptly contracted. He immediately saw the patterns of Cursed Arts inscribed inside these photos.

A faint purple glow, like flowing gauze, covered the photos with a thin layer of haze.

Unfading.

Impossible to see clearly.
