Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 392: Preparations Before Departure

After that, Lynn learned a great deal of information from him about the Mechanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult.

Without a doubt, this intelligence would definitely prove quite useful when he encountered those two factions in the future.

"That's all I know. And I can also assure you, I absolutely will not breathe a single word to anyone about your presence in the City of Night. You can rest assured on that point!"

The Wanderer (.;ﾟ;:益:;ﾟ;.) earnestly expressed.

But Lynn didn't care.

Because according to the information in the Doll Mistress's letter, his Teacher had already left the potion shop and should currently be in the process of rallying the various branches of the Demonkin Association.

After all, as one of the Elders of the Demonkin Association, his Teacher's authority was undeniable.

And he, as the Teacher's student, was undoubtedly considered an insider. If those people knew he had now joined the Night Doctors' faction, it would absolutely serve as a guarantee for his Teacher's endeavors.

Because if they wanted to tear off the mask and break relations, they'd have to think twice about it.

Provoking the Night Doctors of the City of Night was definitely not a wise move."Alright, that's settled then."

Lynn adjusted his monocle, smiling politely:

"You don't need to pay the remaining fee. You may leave. A guest is a guest; if you have any more problems in the future, be sure to remember to come here for maintenance. As a long-term client of my mechanical services, all subsequent repairs and maintenance come with a ten percent discount!"

The Wanderer broke into a cold sweat. "R-really? That's... that's wonderful."

Wonderful my ass!

If I ever set foot in this place again, I'll write my name backwards.

He was never coming back to this godforsaken place again.

With that, he immediately turned and fled out the door without looking back.

After seeing the Wanderer off, Lynn knew he needed to quickly start his next round of preparations.

The conflict between the Mechanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult would likely erupt completely very soon. If he could seize this opportunity to locate the Flesh and Blood Dominator's lair, he could summon Big Brother and deliver a precise nuclear strike, leveling the damn place to the ground and eliminating the threat for good.

If the problem wasn't solved at its root, it was probably only a matter of time before Earth was completely eroded by it.

Because without a doubt.

Worlds that caught the attention of a Root-level entity rarely met a good end.

...

Soon, time flew by.

Over the next week, Lynn lived a very regular life: working the night shift at the Abnormal Creature Reception Center, attending classes with the Matriarch in the morning, and sleeping in the afternoon.

Basically, nothing particularly special happened during this week.

Apart from his daily consultations, Lynn also kept trying to gather information from the Matriarch about the movements of the Mechanical and Flesh and Blood Cults.

Finally.

The eighth day arrived.

Lynn received the latest news from the frontlines.

"Lynn, haven't you been waiting for this opportunity? Your chance has now arrived."

In the dark underground hall, the Inverted Angel wore a faint smile on her face, her entire body emitting a soft golden glow that illuminated the darkness for several meters around her.

"Our people have also established a forward outpost in the dangerous zone contested by those two major factions. Invited by the creatures there, we now have a chance to participate in this struggle. The Matriarch has already arranged your itinerary."

"You will depart this afternoon. Leading the team this time is someone you're quite familiar with—White Night."

Lynn immediately looked up in surprise, putting down the textbook in his hands.

"Brother White Night? He's going there too?"

The Inverted Angel nodded, her eyes closed. "That place requires a top-tier Veteran to hold the fort, and he is the most suitable candidate. In fact, it's not just you who has an interest in the Flesh and Blood Cult. Ever since he joined our Night Doctors, he has also been searching for that Vengeful Demon who changed the course of his life all those years ago. He may not say it out loud."

"But the hatred has always been in his heart."

Lynn nodded, indicating he understood.

Indeed.

If not for that invasion, he wouldn't have fallen into the Dark World, wouldn't have had all those subsequent experiences. He might still be an ordinary person now, getting married, having children, and living a peaceful life in his hometown.

Lynn adjusted his monocle, speaking seriously:

"Has the Colossus's brain tissue officially appeared in the world?"

The Inverted Angel slowly opened her eyes. "Yes. According to the latest news from the front, the vanguard forces of the Mechanical Cult and the Flesh and Blood Cult officially entered that ruins a few days ago. However, some unexpected incidents occurred."

"The exact situation is still unknown. But judging from their recent actions of continuously reinforcing their troops, the Colossus's brain is clearly extremely troublesome. It is a product of a top-tier technological civilization. So after you go there, it's best not to get involved. That is not a realm you can meddle with at your current level."

Lynn smiled and gave a thumbs-up. "Don't worry! I still have some self-awareness. I'm just going there to broaden my horizons; I definitely won't cause any trouble."

The Inverted Angel shook her head.

She didn't believe a single word that came out of his mouth.

"Alright, enough idle talk."

The Inverted Angel's eyes reflected his face.

"You have the morning to prepare. Bring plenty of life-preserving items. Better safe than sorry. If there's anything you want, you can ask me. The Matriarch can try to fulfill your request."

Lynn immediately hesitated. "Really? Any request?"

The Inverted Angel gazed at him darkly. "What do you want to say?"

Lynn immediately put on a serious expression, then skillfully pulled out a washbasin from his System Space, looking hopeful.

"Matriarch, it's actually not a particularly special request. Could you... let out a little more blood for me? Of course, besides blood, other bodily fluids are acceptable too!"

The Inverted Angel closed her eyes. Even she couldn't stop the corner of her eye from twitching violently.

She gritted her silver teeth. "What do you need my blood for *this* time?!"

Lynn said hopefully, "For alchemy, of course! Matriarch, you might not know this, but all the powerful potion formulas I know require biological tissue from a Root-level entity. I truly cannot do without you."

[Ding! The Inverted Angel's anger towards you +1]

The Inverted Angel was absolutely furious.

I treat you as a student, but you treat me as a blood bag.

She really wanted to hang this honest fellow up and give him a good, hard beating to vent her frustration.

"No. If you ever bring a washbasin to ask me for blood again, I will kill you."

The Inverted Angel closed her eyes, maintaining her sacred and inviolable demeanor.

Lynn promptly put away the washbasin, speaking sincerely:

"Then I won't ask for blood, Matriarch. I know you definitely wouldn't agree anyway. Then, can I make one more tiny little request?"

The Inverted Angel glanced at him. "What is it?"
