Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 551: Flesh Calamity! Enhancement

Lynn was instantly astonished.

Indeed.

The enhancement effects on skills were extremely significant!

After Curse Purge's level 2 increase, he could now release three Curse Purges, while Flesh Calamity's level 1 upgrade had unlocked a new way to use this calamity!

"In other words, can I now quickly recover my injuries by 'eating flesh'?"

Lynn pondered.

This immediately reminded him of a game he had played back on Earth called "Prototype," where the main character possessed the ability to achieve extreme distortion and control over his own body, even able to turn his body into any strange weapon to fight enemies.

And his most overpowered ability was directly absorbing others' flesh and blood to restore life and obtain their memories.

Clearly.

After level 1, Flesh Calamity now had a watered-down version of that ability."Let's give it a try."

Lynn then pulled out a piece of leftover barbecue from the System Space that he had eaten in Nightfall City.

He held it in his hand.

Immediately, Lynn's eyes narrowed sharply.

Flesh Calamity! Activate!

Whoosh—

In an instant, his arm crackled and turned into a dense mass of bloody threads and tentacles, instantly enveloping that piece of barbecue, absorbing it into his body in the blink of an eye.

[Ding! Your HP +10, Stamina +1]

Lynn: "!!!"

Just as he thought!

It seemed that from now on, he really didn't need to rely on his mouth and digestive organs to absorb energy. With this special ability, his survivability would be massively guaranteed!

Lynn pulled out another piece of barbecue and tossed it onto his head.

Whoosh—

[Ding! Your HP +11, Stamina +1]

Indeed, could any part of the body really work?

If that was the case, as long as his consciousness wasn't damaged, any corpse would be enough to bring him back to full health. And it seemed that as long as it was a part of his own body, any part could absorb!

Then what about...

Here?

Lynn looked down and his mind started to stir.

Rip—

[Ding! Zuo Zuo's Affinity toward you -1]

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

[Ding! Alice expresses surprise at you.]

Accompanied by the notifications ringing in his ears, Lynn performed another ability test.

[Ding! Your HP +15, Stamina +3]

Lynn was instantly astonished.

Without a doubt, this ability covered everything. Did that mean that if he preserved his consciousness, even if he was killed until only a big (bleep) (bleep) was left, he could still restore his bodily functions through rapid consumption?!

So powerful!

Lynn suppressed the excitement churning in his heart, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly activated his Calamity ability.

Whoosh—

In an instant, dozens of tentacles exploded from his body, blasting hole after hole into the walls around him.

Both attack power and speed had improved by more than a little.

He closed his eyes.

He began to control the tentacles spreading outward.

Then, under his control, the cells forming those tentacles began to contract. The skin on the surface hardened to the point of being as tough as steel, and when they clashed against each other, they even produced a series of metallic clanging sounds, sparks flying everywhere.

"You can harden whenever you want?!"

Lynn stared heatedly at his own hands.

Didn't that mean...

Lynn's gaze naturally and boldly fell on his own left hand.

Zuo Zuo immediately accused in shock: "What are you looking at me for?! You're not thinking about testing it on me, are you?!"

Lynn: "Can I?"

Bang—

[Ding! Your HP -1]

"..."

Lynn pressed down the bump forming on his head, then with a burst of force, retracted all the tentacles back into his body. With a ripping sound, he tore off his hospital gown, which had been blasted full of holes.

Lynn was gradually feeling the inconvenience of clothes.

If Flesh Calamity's ability were enhanced further, would he have to waste an outfit every time he fought?

That was way too wasteful.

Instead of that, why not just...

Lynn's mind instantly conjured the bizarre image of himself charging naked into battle. But the thought only flashed by, and Lynn had no intention of actually acting on it.

"Time to go check on the situation outside."

As for the remaining enhancement scroll, he didn't plan to use it.

This was his way of survival—never leave yourself empty-handed, always keep a card up your sleeve for flexible maneuvering, because if you encountered some unsolvable trouble, this enhancement scroll might come in even more handy.

"Alice, let's go check things out."

"Okay, brother."

Alice obediently floated up from the other bed and pounced into Lynn's arms.

...

The moment he left the bedroom, Lynn immediately heard the uniform, rhythmic chanting coming from outside the camp.

He pushed the door open with force.

The dazzling light made Lynn almost unable to open his eyes.

There, in the open space outside the stronghold, hundreds of Night Doctors in plague doctor masks and black robes stood in perfect formation. A massive portal loomed in the center, and from a single glance, there were no fewer than a thousand people.

A grand and disciplined force.

Lynn was stunned by the sight before him.

All the Night Doctors' gazes immediately locked onto the bare-chested youth appearing at the entrance, eyes sweeping over him.

"Comrades, you've worked hard!"

Lynn instinctively raised his hand and greeted the thousand-strong Night Doctor assembly.

"..."

Dead silence reigned all around.

Zuo Zuo was so embarrassed she could barely move, pretending to be an ordinary left hand, completely not recognizing this socially reckless Brain.

At the podium ahead, Sir Aiwen held his forehead, turned around, and looked at Lynn waving hello. He beckoned him over.

Lynn, wearing only his boxer shorts, swaggered over, stood at attention, legs together, and (￣▽￣)/ saluted:

"Reporting for duty, Sir Aiwen! Trainee Night Doctor: Benevolent Doctor · Harbinger of Peace! Requesting to join the ranks!"

"..."

[Ding! Your recognition in the Night Doctor Alignment +1]

Surrounding deathly silence.

Zuo Zuo's fingers were so rigid with embarrassment she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Sir Aiwen rubbed his forehead and pushed the Night Doctor set on the podium toward him, saying: "Alright, stop it with the 'joining the ranks.' Here's your equipment, put it on quickly. And here's the Matriarch's kiss you wanted, take it and get lost! Never ask me for this kind of thing again, got it?!"

From this, one could imagine just how awkward the situation was when he made that request in front of the Angel.

"Yes, sir!"

Lynn (￣▽￣)/ accepted the folded white paper.

Then he opened it and looked.

At the center of the white paper was clearly the imprint of the Matriarch's lips, radiating a strong holy aura along with waves of killing intent.

A line of very considerate and gentle words was written on it, clearly in the Matriarch's handwriting.

[I'll kill you when you get back]

Feeling the Matriarch's care, Lynn didn't hesitate for a second. He took the paper and slapped it onto his chest.

Smack—

All the surrounding Night Doctors shuddered.

At once, the holy aura radiating from the Matriarch surged over Lynn's body, and the System notification immediately rang in his ears.

[Ding! You have received the blessing of "Angel's Kiss." Duration: 24 hours.]

Aside from the kiss itself, the mirrored version of the words "I'll kill you when you get back" also appeared on Lynn's chest.

And looking at that holy kiss mark...

That strangely irritating feeling was as if the Matriarch had leaned down and left it on his chest herself, causing every Night Doctor around him to twitch uncontrollably. For some reason, they suddenly felt an urge to beat him up.

But fortunately, it was stamped on his chest.

If he had stamped it somewhere even stranger, the Matriarch would really kill him if she found out.
