His eyes flickered.


    He was starting to suspect that Blood Saw''s young apprentice might have already been transformed into a Stitched Monster by Blood Saw.


    If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn''t be so calm in front of him.


    "I don''t want yours, I want my own eyeball."


    He rasped deeply.


    [Ding! Crisis reduced to 45%]


    Lin En remained calm, casually pressing his own eyeball back into its socket, and quietly sat back in his chair, reaching into his coat.


    "This one is real."


    Then, under the shocked gaze of the Pig Demon.


    Lin En pulled out a large eyeball, still sticky with blood and flesh, from his coat. The eyeball was still moving.


    Whoosh—


    The Pig Demon stood up abruptly, trembling:


    "This... this..."


    That''s right!


    He recognized it immediately; it was the eyeball that the old lady had plucked from him. But how could his eyeball be with this human apprentice!


    Lin En placed the eyeball on the counter, speaking quietly:


    "I ran into that kind old lady this morning. She gave me this toy."


    [Pig Demon Sanity Value -30!]


    The Pig Demon stared intently at the eyeball on the counter, cold sweat dripping from the bristles on the back of his neck down his spine.


    Because he knew very well how terrifying that Scavenger was.


    With his own strength, his eyeball was easily plucked by that Scavenger, and if the Scavenger wanted, he could just as easily take his head.


    And that Scavenger... actually gave his eyeball to this frail human?!


    He increasingly felt that this human apprentice was not ordinary.


    No.


    He was even a bit terrifying.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    Because he couldn''t see through this human''s depths.


    [Ding! Crisis reduced to 20%]


    The Pig Demon hesitated, staring at Lin En, and said, "The old lady''s gift... would you dare give it to me?"


    Lin En replied indifferently, "Not give, sell. Two hundred Skull Coins, market price."


    Was he really not afraid at all?


    The Pig Demon stared at him, trying to find a flaw.


    Could it be that he actually had a close relationship with that Scavenger?


    [Ding! Crisis reduced to 10%]


    Whoosh—


    The Pig Demon pulled out a money pouch from his coat, scattering a large number of Skull Coins on the counter.


    He stared at Lin En and said, "Fine, I''ll buy it."


    Lin En calmly collected the coins into the counter, then put on gloves and a mask again, taking out a monocle, and said blandly:"Deal. Do you want it done here, or shall we go to the operating table?"


    "Here," the Pig Demon said decisively.


    No resident of Ghost Alley wanted to go up on Blood Saw''s operating table.


    "Alright."


    Lin En picked up a boning knife and said, "Lean on the counter, rest your head on the table. If it hurts, you can scream."


    The Pig Demon sneered grimly, "Afraid of pain?"


    Pfft—


    Lin En took a sip of alcohol and sprayed it onto the dripping blade.


    The Pig Demon immediately fell silent.


    Lighting a candle, he roasted the blade over the flame for several minutes.


    Lin En squinted his eyes, holding the knife, inching closer to the pig''s head.


    A drop of cold sweat dripped onto the counter.


    The Pig Demon trembled and said, "Do you really need a knife to fit an eyeball?"


    [Pig Demon Sanity Value -10]


    Lin En said quietly, "I just checked, and there are quite a few stones and blood clots in your eye socket. It shows you don''t take good care of your eyes. Consider this an extra service, no need to thank me."


    "Wait... wait a minute!"


    The Pig Demon was horrified.


    But it was already too late.


    Crack—crack—crack—


    "Ah—ah—"


    The Pig Demon let out a heart-wrenching scream of terror.

    A few minutes later, Lin En used disinfectant to clean the debris from his eye socket, puzzled as to why his Knife Skills increased instead of his Surgical Ability.


    "Done." Lin En calmly wiped the boning knife with a cloth.


    "Don''t move. I''m going to install the eyeball now. If you move, be careful it doesn''t go in backward."


    The Pig Demon lay there, foaming at the mouth, body twitching, clearly not hearing Lin En''s words.


    Lin En paused, instinctively saying, "Damn..."


    Forgot to use anesthetic... It seemed like he forgot to use it last time when sewing that doll''s arm too...


    Never mind.


    Lin En shook his head, his expression returning to calm.


    He took out the [Pigman Boss''s Eyeball] from the solution with tweezers, then turned to search the medicine cabinet behind him.


    A few seconds later.


    Lin En took a white bottle from the top of the cabinet.


    Vaguely, it seemed to have handwritten numbers like "5," "0," "2" on it.


    "What is that!" The Pig Demon, coming to his senses, trembled.


    Lin En, holding the eyeball, shook the bottle and said quietly:"My specially formulated strong adhesive. It prevents your eyeball from falling out during installation. Combined with my teacher''s special recovery potion, it guarantees a 95% success rate for the surgery."


    Lin En explained earnestly.


    The Pig Demon trembled, "Hurry up and install it! Do you hear me?! I don''t want to stay here any longer! Do you hear me?!"


    Lin En nodded, "Don''t worry, we doctors have strong professional ethics."


    Lin En calmly mixed the thick adhesive.


    Then he evenly applied it around the eyeball, aligned it, and gently placed the eyeball into the socket.


    He took out professional tools to adjust the angle of the eyeball.


    He felt around in the toolbox.


    Then took out a hammer.


    Pig Demon: "(ΩДΩ)!!"


    [Pig Demon Sanity Value -20!]


    "What are you doing! What are you doing!!!" The Pig Demon screamed, trembling.


    Lin En frowned, "Don''t move. This is the last physical procedure. If you mess up the position by moving, I''ll have to take it out and reinstall it, which will incur additional surgery fees."


    Lin En shook his head, holding down the terrified pig''s head.


    Then carefully used the hammer, tapping gently, focusing intently as he installed the eyeball bit by bit.


    ***


    A few minutes later, Lin En paused.


    The Pig Demon shuddered, "What happened?! What happened?!"


    Lin En frowned, "Installed it backward."


    Pig Demon: "(ΩДΩ)!!"


    "Don''t worry." Lin En remained calm, reaching out to grab the bracket holding the eyeball, pulling it upward.


    Rip—


    Amidst the Pig Demon''s terrified screams and plummeting Sanity Value, Lin En pulled out the backward-installed eyeball.


    "It''s just a minor medical mishap." Lin En quietly readjusted the position, saying:"This time it''s free, I''ll just adjust the position."


    The Pig Demon let out sharp, terrified screams, struggling frantically:"I don''t want it installed! I don''t want it installed here!!"


    [Sanity Value -20!]


    [Sanity Value -20!]


    "Don''t move!" Lin En''s eyes sharpened, shouting:


    "This is the final procedure. As a doctor, since you''ve paid, I must be responsible for you! I must ensure every patient leaves here as good as new!"


    With that, Lin En raised the hammer in his hand with a fierce determination.


    "Stop!!" The Pig Demon reached out, screaming in terror.


    Bang—


    Sparks flew.
