Chapter 526: A Phased Treatment for Miss Puppet
Lynn solemnly pulled the pillow off his face, stuffed it behind his back, straightened his monocle, and spoke with the gravity of a chief justice:
"Since Miss Hei Xianyue also agrees to the provisions of this treaty, then all daily maintenance and upkeep for Miss Hei Xianyue will be the responsibility of Mr. Lynn. According to the treaty, if Mr. Lynn ultimately fails to restore Miss Hei Xianyue's injuries, he will face unprecedented massive compensation and be permanently responsible for this matter."
"Miss Hei Xianyue, do you have anything to add?"
Hei Xianyue forcefully suppressed her anger, stood up, and turned to walk towards the door, saying calmly:
"I don't need..."
But just as she stood up and hadn't taken two steps, there was a "ding" sound, and her body instantly froze rigidly in place.
Lynn, with his eyes closed in an official manner, quietly tossed the remote control into the System Space, coughed, and said:
"Since you, Miss Puppet, also agree to this treaty, then your recovery work will be left to me. Don't worry, I am a proper doctor and also have the dream of becoming a great mechanic. I am very confident in restoring Miss Puppet to her previous state!"
Hei Xianyue, frozen in place, couldn't move a muscle. Her pitch-black eyes glared murderously at Lynn from the corner of her vision.
One could say.If looks could kill, Lynn would probably have died countless times by now.
"Let me go!"
Hei Xianyue gritted her teeth, trying hard to maintain her aloof expression, but waves of humiliation and anger were clearly audible in her voice.
But obviously, it was utterly useless.
Because as long as Lynn still had that remote control, even if the contract was dissolved, her ownership would remain in this guy's hands.
Then, under the murderous gaze of Hei Xianyue, Lynn drove his wheelchair to her side, closed his eyes, and used one leg to push against the back of her ankle.
Her body immediately lost its balance and fell backward.
Then she was caught steadily in the crook of Lynn's outstretched arms, as if in a princess carry.
"My apologies, Miss Puppet."
Hei Xianyue glared at him furiously, but her body simply couldn't be controlled by her.
She could only watch helplessly as that despicable guy carried her to the chair, placed her on it like a life-sized doll, and casually adjusted her posture.
Thus.
A bizarre scene unfolded in the room.
Facing the wheelchair and the chair, the immobilized puppet loli girl sat on the chair, life-sized and furious, staring at Lynn who sat in the wheelchair. The atmosphere was exceptionally strange.
At such a close distance, aside from those cold, angry beautiful eyes, this was also the first time Lynn observed Miss Puppet's appearance in this manner.
It must be said.
Paired with this angry gaze, apart from her skin still being slightly different from a normal human's, she truly already resembled a real person very closely.
Not like before, where although beautiful, meeting her gaze head-on easily gave one a creepy, uncanny valley feeling.
Delicate cheeks, black eyes, fair skin, silver-gray hair, thin lips.
And because she was wearing an oversized, ill-fitting hospital gown...
One could easily see down her slender, fair neck...
Lynn coughed, his old face blushing slightly.
But he knew now was not the time for strange thoughts. The most important purpose of his visit was to repair Miss Puppet, who had sacrificed so much for him, and restore her to her previous flawless state.
Otherwise, he feared he would always feel deeply guilty.
"My apologies, I must first examine your wound before I can fit you with a suitable arm..."
Lynn coughed, under Hei Xianyue's furious gaze, somewhat sheepishly reached out his hand, and gently undid the first button on her collar.
[Ding! Hei Xianyue's anger towards you +1, Affinity -1]
Ignoring the System prompts ringing in his ears.
Although Miss Puppet was very unwilling regarding such forceful behavior, Lynn knew this was something he absolutely had to do. Because looking around, in this current stronghold, aside from Sir Aiwen, he was probably the only one with mechanical repair abilities.
And if he let anyone else repair his Miss Puppet, Lynn would absolutely, 100% be unwilling.
So...
Lynn undid her second button.
With the removal of the two buttons, some skin that shouldn't have been seen inevitably appeared before Lynn's eyes.
But Lynn harbored no lustful intentions, nor did he have any deliberate desire to take advantage of Miss Puppet.
Because as a doctor.
And with Miss Puppet injured so severely, to see the wound surface of the severed arm, one really had no choice but to undo the buttons.
Just like when you go for a physical examination, the doctor also asks you to take off your outer clothes.
Lynn was merely doing it himself.
Harboring a serious mood, after undoing Miss Puppet's third button, Lynn didn't undo any more, as it was already sufficient. Any more would be perverted.
But even so...
"Sorry."
Lynn coughed, under Hei Xianyue's murderous gaze, slowly pulled down the clothing on half of her shoulder, revealing her severed arm.
Lynn's gaze was immediately drawn to the wound, not looking at any other area.
Because it was truly severe.
One could clearly see the scorched gears and deformed metal structures inside her broken arm. However, she had obviously done some preliminary treatment herself. Moreover, her skin seemed to be a special material, possessing excellent regeneration and elasticity.
Lynn frowned, seriously took out gloves from his System Space, touched the gears at the wound, and asked:
"Does it hurt?"
Hei Xianyue looked at him with the same icy gaze one would give an idiot.
Lynn: "..."
Alright.
He forgot.
Miss Puppet was a puppet. Aside from direct attacks on the mind and Will, physical damage wouldn't cause her any pain.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Lynn seriously adjusted his monocle and smiled:
"I can promise you, I will definitely fit you with a perfect arm. This is what I owe you. Since you could entrust your life to me, you must also believe that I can definitely restore you to your original state, and even better!"
Hei Xianyue squeezed her eyes shut forcefully, not wanting to say a single word to him.
Lynn didn't delay, immediately activating the passive effect of his diagnostic ability.
[Ding! The passive effect of your "Random Diagnosis Ability" has been triggered. You have discovered target injury 1: Limb Severance]
[Ding! You have discovered target injury 2: Severe Melting of Gear Structures within the Torso.]
Accompanied by the System prompts, Lynn seriously opened the detailed information of the diagnosed conditions.
Limb severance was self-explanatory.
But the melting of the internal mechanical structures was far more severe than he had imagined.
Several key structures had suffered serious deformation. The reason Miss Puppet could still move now was only because she was using Cursed Arts to forcibly substitute for the functions of those structures.
But this was clearly a stopgap measure, not a cure.
If she interrupted the support of the Cursed Arts during battle, those parts would probably disintegrate instantly, completely robbing her of her ability to move.
"Why are you acting like nothing's wrong when you're injured this badly?! I thought it was really just a broken arm. At least 30% of the parts inside your body have been severely melted!"
Lynn's expression turned stern as he looked at the puppet girl before him, speaking loudly.
Hei Xianyue lay there with her eyes closed, once again adopting that calm expression of refusing to communicate.
"..."
Lynn felt waves of exasperation.
Undoubtedly.
With Miss Puppet's independent personality and extremely low Emotional Development, even if she were truly about to die, she would absolutely never take the initiative to ask anyone for help.
If he hadn't forced the examination, he probably would have been kept completely in the dark until something happened to her.
"I'll help you replace the internal parts first. After swapping out those melted structures, I'll help you attach the arm."
Lynn said seriously.
Hei Xianyue said with her eyes closed, "Not needed. When I return to the Doll Manor, I myself..."
But before she could finish her sentence, her petite body was instantly hoisted onto Lynn's shoulder. Before she could even react in her daze, Lynn had already driven his wheelchair to the repair bed and unceremoniously tossed her onto it.
