The Demon Hunter (ヾ????) was jolted awake from unconsciousness by the explosive impact of strong liquor and alcohol.


    He trembled and shivered, reaching out his hand and crawling forward, saying, "Enough! Enough! Let me go! Let me go right now!"


    Lin En was diligently sharpening a knife, smiling as he said, "Go? Guest, are you joking? We''ve just completed the cleaning and disinfection. The most important step is yet to be done. Take a look!"


    "While you were unconscious, to help you relax a bit, I even gave you a little makeover. Isn''t it nice?"


    The Demon Hunter turned his head in terror and looked at the wound on his shoulder.


    (ΩДΩ)！！


    [Demon Hunter''s Sanity Value -20]


    Instantly, the Demon Hunter felt utterly unwell.


    On his shoulder, amidst the dark bones, there was a distinct "?" carved out, looking damnably cute!


    "Don''t you feel a bit more relaxed?" Lin En asked seriously.


    The Demon Hunter (ΩДΩ) said, "I''ll (bleep) you! I''ll (bleep) you up! I''ll damn well kill you!"


    The Demon Hunter trembled as he drew a revolver from his waist and aimed it at Lin En.


    Swish—


    Lin En threw a knife that landed on the muzzle of the Demon Hunter''s revolver, saying softly, "Guest, the surgery isn''t over yet. If you kill me now, you''d be doing yourself the greatest disservice. I''m saving you, and you want to kill me? Don''t you think that''s too shameless?"


    "I''m telling you, I have medical ethics. Even if you want to kill me, you have to wait until I finish the surgery!"


    "I absolutely won''t allow my patients to give up halfway!"


    He adjusted his monocle with the back of his hand, his face full of seriousness, and the lens flashed with a bright light.


    The Demon Hunter trembled.


    Bang bang bang—


    He fired several shots into the ceiling.


    "I''m warning you, stop giving me makeovers and stop dawdling. What else do you want to do?"This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    Lin En raised a small knife in his hand, saying seriously, "Bone scraping!"


    ...


    A few minutes later.


    The Demon Hunter trembled as he looked at the chains that had somehow been wrapped around him, binding him tightly like a big dumpling.


    "You scrape, you scrape, why tie me up? Do you think ordinary chains can really hold a Demon Hunter? You''re too naive!"


    Lin En, with a serious face, adjusted his glasses and said, "Guest."


    "It''s not that I want to tie you up, I''m just afraid that during the surgery, you won''t be able to bear the pain and will shoot me."


    "If I die, that''s fine, but if the surgery fails, that would be the greatest insult to me and the greatest irresponsibility to you, so I had no choice but to take this measure."


    Lin En came up behind him, raised the small knife, and said seriously, "Guest, I''m going to scrape! You have to endure it! This time it''s literally bone-chilling pain."


    "Wait, let me prepare..."


    Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—


    "Ah—"


    The Demon Hunter opened his mouth wide in terror, letting out a long, chilling howl.


    If the cleaning earlier was like the pain of being cut with a dull knife, then this bone scraping felt like someone was repeatedly uppercutting your vital parts hundreds of times!


    "Fuck! You!! Fuck you!!"


    The Demon Hunter roared, struggling violently, nearly breaking the chains binding him.

    "Stop! Stop! It hurts! It hurts!"


    The Demon Hunter screamed in terror, finally unable to hold on.


    Lin En gritted his teeth, trying hard to restrain his struggles, scraping the black bones with the small knife, saying, "Hold on! A real man never fears pain! It''s better to endure short pain than long pain, just grit your teeth and get through it!"


    Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—


    [Knife Skills +2]


    [Knife Skills +2]


    The Demon Hunter howled to the sky, trembling as he bit the chain, sparks flying.


    "Anesthetic... Anesthetic!! Give me anesthetic now!! I can''t take it anymore! I can''t take it!"


    Lin En (╬￣皿￣) scraped, saying, "It''s too late for anesthetic now, I can''t inject it into your bones! Just hold on a bit longer, it''ll be over soon!"


    [Knife Skills +2]


    "I don''t believe you!"


    The Demon Hunter roared, finally breaking the chains in an instant, reaching out to grab his revolver from the counter.


    He wanted to shoot Lin En!


    Seeing his actions, Lin En was also furious.


    Damn!


    I''m painstakingly scraping your bones to heal you, and you keep trying to shoot me!


    This is simply too much! Too much!


    (╯‵皿′)╯︵┻━┻


    Swish—


    Lin En grabbed his revolver before he could, shoving it into his mouth, angrily saying, "Try moving again!!"


    "If you don''t cooperate with my work, I''ll shoot you!"


    "I''m telling you! I''m a doctor! You can insult my character, but you can''t insult my compassion for the wounded! Today, even if it costs me my life, I will heal you!"


    Lin En roared.


    The Demon Hunter, terrified, held the gun barrel in his mouth, howling to the sky, tears streaming down his face.


    I can''t do this anymore! I really don''t want to do this!


    Having roamed the dark world for years, injured countless times, this was the first time he felt what it meant to be at the mercy of someone, what it meant to wish for death over life at the hands of a doctor!


    It hurts!


    This guy is scraping hard!


    "Damn it (╬￣皿￣), enough with the nonsense, let''s bring out the big guns!"


    Lin En rushed to the backyard.


    Then quickly came back, gritting his teeth, carrying a chainsaw.


    The Demon Hunter (ΩДΩ)！！


    [Sanity Value -10]


    [Sanity Value -10]


    "What are you doing?! What the hell are you doing?! Don''t come any closer!"


    The Demon Hunter backed away in terror.


    Lin En (╬￣皿￣) pulled the chainsaw, which instantly made a buzzing sound.


    "Your bones are too hard, scraping would take hours, with that much time, it''s better to get it done in one go!"


    "Using this big guy to scrape will definitely be better than prolonged pain!"


    "I''m going in!"


    "Wait a minute (ΩДΩ)!!"


    Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—


    Instantly, a piercing and terrifying scream echoed through the sky.

    ...


    "Boss, I''m here to buy some recovery potions, do you have any new stock?"


    Outside the door, a long-haired female ghost (*￣︶￣) floated in, her body light and airy, clearly not the troublesome type of customer.


    But just as she stood at the entrance.


    Snap—


    A hand instantly grabbed her ankle.


    Her expression froze.


    Then she saw a pale-faced, lips trembling, barely alive Demon Hunter clutching the door frame with one hand, grabbing her ankle with the other, trembling as he said, "Save me... save me!!"


    Then instantly, she heard the buzzing sound of a chainsaw coming from behind the curtain.


    She hesitantly reached out her pale hand, gently lifting a corner of the curtain.
