Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 470: Gouge Out Her Eyes

Without a doubt.

Lynn's entire series of smug, cheeky, and utterly shameless behaviors had deceived even Zuo Zuo and Little Treasure.

Because there really was no trace of performance to be seen. That feeling of being infuriatingly punchable, emanating from the very heart, made it incredibly hard to believe it wasn't his genuine self.

But Zuo Zuo also reacted immediately, knowing now was absolutely not the time to dwell on such things.

She promptly conveyed Lynn's intent to the nearby Hei Xianyue and Little Treasure, and then without any hesitation, began clearing out those Mechanical Beetles.

In the distance.

The Mechanical Girl, her eyes smoldering with anger after being teased by Lynn's various trash-talk, instantly noticed their actions.

And her outstanding computational ability immediately understood their intention.

"Curse upload has commenced—Miss Intelligence Machine—Estimated time until the curse within you is extracted and transferred: 10 minutes—Please wait patiently."

"Personality Analysis Module activated—Target has a 48% probability of being in a smug, complacent state—52% probability of intending to provoke you through verbal attacks and launch a strike—Please be strictly on guard."Accompanied by a series of computational data streams, her eyes narrowed.

The anger stirred up by Lynn's words was swiftly suppressed.

The next moment, she coldly and directly ignored Lynn's verbal provocations, switched targets, activated her fold-jump engine, and vanished from her spot.

She saw through their intent to eliminate her mechanical forces.

But this also made her think of a method to circumvent the Cannot Hit curse.

Almost in that instant, her figure appeared amidst the Mechanical Beetle Forces being hard-controlled by the M Fist. Facing Hei Xianyue and the others who were slaughtering her troops, she did not launch an attack, because she knew that under the curse's effect, the act of attacking was fundamentally futile.

But this did not mean she had no recourse.

*Hum—*

Almost the moment she appeared, one after another hexagonal energy shields unfolded before her.

"Force Field Energy Shields activated—Deployment range locked—Deploying—"

The shields constructed from pale blue energy streams instantly blocked the attacks launched by Zuo Zuo and the others. And due to her high mobility, almost in the blink of an eye, a long force field dividing the battlefield was pulled out within the tunnel.

Her outstanding computational ability had almost instantly allowed her to find the flaw in the 100% Miss curse.

Because, under the condition that the curse ability was removable.

She didn't need to launch a direct attack at all. She only needed to preserve her mechanical swarm, then impose restrictions on them, locking their movement space here. As long as she stalled for time, after those ten minutes, everything would return to normal.

*Swish, swish, swish—*

In almost a few breaths, a defensive line constructed of energy shields completely separated Lynn's group and her Mechanical Beetle Forces on opposite sides of the tunnel.

And as long as she interfered with the spatial fluctuations in this area through high-energy particle resonance disruption, isolating that guy's fold-jump ability, she could successfully lock him down.

Although this would also cause her to temporarily lose her fold-jump ability.

But as long as the curse was stripped away, this would still be her domain.

*Hum—*

Her body abruptly landed, pale blue, cold-toned streams of light flickering in her eyes. An invisible wave suddenly spread out from her body, enveloping a range of a thousand meters.

"Particle waves dispersed—Spatial fluctuations within the area have been disrupted by resonance interference—Fold-jump engines will be unable to activate—"

The moment the resonance spread.

Hei Xianyue also immediately sensed the intense effect the strong particle resonance had on the space around them.

*Swish, swish, swish, swish—*

Countless threads shot out from her hands, continuously bursting forth along the trajectory of her movements. But her speed was simply too fast, making Hei Xianyue's attacks utterly incapable of touching the Mechanical Girl's body.

Seeing her attacks were ineffective, Hei Xianyue immediately arrived beside Lynn, who had been smiling all along. Her gaze flickered slightly as she said:

"The spatial fluctuations here are being interfered with by her. She seems to want to restrict us within this area. I think we must leave."

Lynn adjusted his monocle, his expression showing no change, smiling mysteriously:

"No, Miss Puppet. On the contrary, this gives us a greater chance of winning."

Hei Xianyue jolted, turning her head to look at Lynn.

Lynn smiled, communicating through the thumb-thread link:

"She's clever. She also found a way to counter this curse immediately. But in doing so, she also confirmed several key pieces of information for me."

"First, she indeed possesses the ability to suppress this curse of mine, but the process requires time. Once that time is up, she can regain the initiative."

"Second, she's very afraid of us running. This has been the biggest question mark all along: how dare they chase us down several thousand meters underground within the Desire Mother Tree's domain without any reservation? Are they truly not afraid of being suppressed by the Desire Mother Tree?"

His smile grew even more mysterious.

"And now I understand."

"She's not unafraid; she's taking a risk. The deeper they go, the greater the risk of being targeted by the Desire Mother Tree. So, if we keep running, it would actually become more troublesome for her."

"This is another reason she wants to lock us down. She must have done an assessment. If we desperately continue deeper during the time her curse is being removed, the risk for her to act later would be even greater."

Because, compared to locking them down here.

Wouldn't it be a more reasonable approach to quietly hide herself, wait for the time to be up, and then launch an attack on them?

But she didn't do that.

The only possibility is that she was apprehensive.

Apprehensive that during this time, they would run to an area where even she would find it difficult to continue the pursuit. Once the Desire Mother Tree made a move, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

Lynn smiled mysteriously:

"So, this is her optimal solution at this moment. Regardless of whether we try to escape or not, she must restrict us, because her enemies aren't just us, but also the deterrence posed by that potential Root-level entity."

"But in doing so, she also made a huge mistake. In order to restrict me, if she loses her own fold-jump ability..."

"Then without fold-jump ability, this place will also be her prison!"

In an instant.

Lynn leaped up violently, and a max-level M Fist instantly struck the ground.

A crimson energy force suddenly spread out from beneath his feet, then billowed outward with him as the center, wildly sweeping in all directions.

"Warning—Desire-based strike effect detected—Please evade immediately—"

*Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding—*

A rapidly expanding, enormous circle immediately appeared in the pale blue glow of her eyes—the area of effect of the M Fist.

Without any hesitation, her expression icy cold, her high-mobility ability allowed her to explosively retreat, her figure instantly moving several hundred meters away.

Clearly.

She had also considered that after abandoning her fold-jump ability, she would be affected by his large-area desire-based strikes.

But even without fold-jump ability, her mobility was still fully capable of allowing her to perform any form of evasion.

However, the moment she had just stepped out of the M Fist's area of effect, a piercing alarm sounded in her ears again.

"Warning—Abnormal curse fluctuations detected—Abnormal curse fluctuations detected—"

She almost whipped her head around, immediately seeing Lynn's pitch-black right eye in the distance. At this moment, that Cursed Eye was staring fixedly at her, dark blood dripping tick-tock from his eye socket.

*Hum—*

Instinctive reaction made her instantly push her speed to the limit.

Her powerful mechanical body directly passed through the energy shields she had constructed, tore through the tunnel's Flesh Walls, and concealed her form within the surrounding fleshy structures.

Her speed was too fast.

So fast that the Cursed Eye couldn't lock on in time before losing its target.

"Ran pretty fast." Lynn halted the activation of the Cursed Eye, smiling mysteriously:

"Let's go. We can't let her completely lock us down either, otherwise we'll still fall into a passive position. But for now, the initiative is still in our hands."

Lynn immediately turned, summoned Little Treasure, and quickly headed towards the far end of the tunnel through the gap she hadn't fully completed constructing.

"Miss Puppet, can you launch another Energy Explosion to interfere with the signals in this area?"

Lynn, riding Little Treasure, asked with confidence.

The reflection of his cheek appeared in the corner of Hei Xianyue's eyes as she said, "What's your plan?"

The corner of Lynn's mouth lifted slightly. "Before she removes the curse, she probably won't appear before us easily now. But she will definitely construct energy force fields across a wider area, continuing her plan to restrict us. And if we want to break her control, the first thing we must do..."

"Is to poke out her eyes."

First, she would be unable to continue locating their coordinates.

Second, within the area affected by the Energy Explosion, they would fall into silence again, hiding in the shadows.

Third, she would definitely construct energy force fields around the interference range of the Energy Explosion, using the safest method to lock them down in this area without risk.
