Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 360: Black Crescent Moon!

Lynn: "..."

Sure enough, it was exactly as he had guessed.

Auntie was desperately trying to push her daughter onto him, and her intentions were really not simple at all.

But no matter how realistic it was.

Lynn would not follow in his teacher's footsteps.

Being "three parts into the wood" was one thing, but "three parts into the steel" was a bit excessive.

And why must it always come with strange intentions?

Lynn, full of enthusiasm, stuffed the letter into his chest pocket, then immediately turned his gaze to the gothic doll inside the suitcase.

Lynn reached out his hand.

And pinched the loli doll's cheek.Hmm.

Although the texture felt very much like real human skin, it was cold to the touch, and the internal skeleton was likely made of metal. The type should be a realistic simulation doll.

"So how do you start it up?" Lynn pondered.

Immediately after.

Lynn's gaze fell on a terminal beside the suitcase.

Remote control...

Auntie is so thoughtful, isn't she?

With a feeling of utter bewilderment, Lynn picked up that small, metal controller and looked at the few tiny buttons on it.

The largest button should be the power switch.

The second button seemed to be a stop command.

The third button had no marking at all, which was a bit strange.

Hesitantly, Lynn reached out and pressed the largest button on the remote.

Ding—

Almost the instant he pressed it.

Dense, intricate purple patterns swiftly flashed across the skin of the gothic doll inside the suitcase. Her eyes slowly opened, revealing those tranquil pupils accompanied by a faint purple glow.

Crack, crack, crack—

Accompanied by a strange, stiff sensation like mechanical gears turning.

Invisible threads, like spider silk, silently connected to various points around the bedroom.

Right before Lynn's astonished gaze, pulled by those threads, she rose straight up from the suitcase in an eerie posture, floating in mid-air.

Her arms and legs extended gracefully, like a figure from a painting, her toes elegantly touching the floor as she landed beside the suitcase.

"Are you... my patient?"

She spoke in a slightly mechanical voice devoid of any emotion. Her eyes were like two pieces of obsidian embedded in white glass. When they looked at you, it felt as if your body and mind would be swallowed by darkness.

Hei Xianyue.

The seventh daughter adopted by the Doll Mistress.

The combat-type puppeteer who defeated her eldest sister and possesses absolute field control abilities.

Beautiful and elegant, aloof and mechanical.

Lynn immediately stood up, smiling as he extended his hand towards her, speaking seriously:

"Hello, my name is Lynn. Pleased to meet you. I am the student and adopted son of your adoptive mother's lover, so we can be considered relatives. If you don't mind, you can call me your 'big brother'."

He's not even trying to hide it anymore!

Hei Xianyue gazed at him quietly, then gracefully curtsied towards him. Her body floated backwards as lightly as a ghost, her skirt hem drifting, and she vanished from Lynn's sight.

Lynn stared wide-eyed.

That slightly mechanical female voice sounded in the room.

"The contract is established. For the next thirty days, I will follow the employment contract to ensure your safety. During the contract period, any creature hostile to you will be considered a threat and I will eliminate it."

"According to the employment agreement, during the employment period, you must provide me with at least one charge per day. If you have additional instructions, please make them within the scope of the employment agreement. For details, please refer to my user manual."

"Good morning, Mr. Lynn."

It was like reciting text from a mechanical script, with no emotional inflection at all.

Just as the Doll Mistress had said.

Emotional Development is extremely low, more doll-like than the other dolls.

Lynn stared, then quickly pulled out his Plague Doctor Mask and put it on, swiftly switching to detection mode.

Only then could he vaguely see the blurred outline of the doll lady in the room. Meaning, she had activated some kind of stealth mode to protect him from the shadows.

Truly professional.

But if that's the case, then wouldn't she no longer be pleasant to look at?

However, Lynn knew.

They had just received the goods. Everything needs to be done step by step. No matter what it is, it needs to be cultivated slowly.

"Do you have any other requirements?" Lynn tentatively asked.

After a long while.

That female voice sounded in the room once more.

"One or more books can be provided."

Lynn nodded.

So she wasn't a complete mechanical doll after all. Although her Emotional Development was extremely low, it wasn't nonexistent.

Having a desire to read books meant the potential for development was still quite significant.

Lynn then looked into the suitcase.

Sure enough, he found a few accompanying items.

【Doll User Manual x1】

【Employment Agreement x1】

【Wind-up Keys of Different Sizes x5】

Hesitantly, Lynn picked up those wind-up keys of different sizes and asked:

"Miss Doll, are these the wind-up keys for charging you? How are they used? Are there any precautions?"

Hei Xianyue's voice sounded in the room once again.

"Use the key to wind me up."

"Where?"

"My back has ports that fit the corresponding sizes."

Lynn nodded, then looked up, picked up the terminal, shook it, and asked puzzledly:

"What about this one then?"

A brief silence.

The doll lady's unwavering voice came through.

"A controller crafted by Mother. It can force me into a dormant state or immobilize me at any time. It prevents situations like mech failure or other unexpected circumstances from threatening the patient."

Lynn said in surprise, "Is this given to every patient?"

"According to the terms of the employment agreement, this is an extra piece of equipment Mother gifted to Mr. Lynn for this mission. It is one of the special exceptions."

I see.

Lynn nodded.

It seems Doll Auntie still takes very good care of him.

After all, there's that layer of relationship with the teacher.

"Understood. So the first button is for activating and deactivating dormancy, the second button is for forced immobilization. What about the third button?"

That mechanical female voice sounded again.

"No relevant information available. Unable to answer."

Lynn was hesitant.

Even the doll lady doesn't know?

But since a button was specifically set up for it, it must have some purpose.

Finally.

Driven by curiosity, Lynn hesitantly pressed it.

Ding—

"..."

The room fell into complete silence.

Lynn looked up puzzledly, glanced at the terminal in his hand again, his face full of confusion.

Did nothing happen?

Then what's the point of this button?

Refusing to believe it, he pressed it several more times.

Ding, ding, ding, ding—

The surroundings remained quiet.

Lynn was hesitant.

"It really seems useless..."

As he spoke.

He pressed it three more times: ding, ding, ding.

[Ding! Hei Xianyue's Affinity towards you -1]

Lynn: "???"
