170: Chapter 170 Surgery

"I feel like everything I'm seeing seems a bit eerie."

"Because back then, surgeries usually took place in a dilapidated house, with the Patient lying on a bed and various knives laid out beside them."

"But the place that appeared before my eyes just now felt like something from the future; white tiles covered the walls, and the person performing the surgery was wearing blue clothes of an unknown type."

"They were also wearing a plastic cap on their head, and beside them was a pile of things that looked like alien technology."

"I reached out to touch that square object, and suddenly, wavy lines appeared on it. The doctor told me this was an EKG?"

"And the thing covering the two children's faces, which looked like a tube, he told me was a ventilator."

"What was even more bizarre was... things similar to the laser swords written about in some sci-fi daily newspapers actually appeared right before my eyes."

"Later, when I thought about it, I realized something was even more wrong. Since when can a Patient's family enter the operating room during surgery? And to perform such a dangerous surgery with only one doctor?"

"That doctor was cutting the brothers with a knife while holding a rectangular object in his hand, and from that rectangular object, the voice of another man could actually be heard."

"He was cursing at that rectangular object, saying: 'The matter isn't finished yet, just wait a bit longer, we'll go out for barbecue tonight.'"

"Fortunately, however, the surgery was very successful. I watched the two brothers being completely separated from the middle, though they were still in a coma."

"I kept expressing my gratitude to the doctor who performed the surgery, but there was another matter that made me anxious."

"I asked the doctor if the surgery must be very expensive and how much it cost."

"The doctor just waved his hand and said: 'It's free. I'm just doing an experiment. The experiment was very successful. Congratulations, Ms. Emma! Look!'"

"He lifted the older brother's head and said to me: 'The cut is excellent, right? This is future technology. This is my first time being a doctor, and I didn't expect it to only cost him one ear.'"

"I looked carefully and found that the older brother really was only missing one ear, while on the younger brother's side, above his left temple, two ears had grown. I immediately felt relieved."

"Fortunately, neither child was disfigured; you couldn't tell there was any problem from the front."

"Then, I don't know why, but I just wanted to do something for the doctor. I ran over, grabbed a dog-head-shaped teacup, poured a cup of water for the doctor, and handed it to him."

"I said: 'Thank you, Doctor, thank you for saving them!'"

"The doctor didn't drink it; he told me to drink it myself. Then he walked over to a strange-looking machine, pressed the switch on it, and a pile of black liquid flowed out from a small hole into the cup below."

"He took off his mask, and I watched him down that cup of black liquid in one gulp, exclaiming: 'Coffee still tastes the best!'"

"Coffee? I felt even more astonished. To think he could just tap his finger and conjure up a cup of coffee—if this isn't a miracle doctor, what is?"

"I pulled out an envelope containing 100 dollars, wanting to express my gratitude. This had been prepared long ago."

"The doctor seemed to feel tired as well. He took off the mask on his face and waved his hand in front of his face, as if wanting to catch his breath."

"I walked closer and saw it! That scene! I froze, as if turned to stone!"

"This doctor was none other than the Circus leader; it was he who performed the surgery on my children!"

The story ended there, and it made Chen Mo's scalp tingle.

It gave off a very insane feeling; damn it, it was like a conversation between two mental Patients.

"The doctor is a person from the 21st century who time-traveled, while this Mother Ghost feels like she has some kind of mental illness."

"So... after the brothers had the surgery, they successfully became two people."

Was this doctor a member of the Management Group, or a player of the Thriller Game?

Chen Mo was certain that for such a supernatural phenomenon to occur, it must be the power of an item.

Crawling out of Mother Ghost's brain, Chen Mo glanced at the time; there were 30 seconds left.

Chen Mo took several bottles of alcohol out of the medical kit and threw them toward the Club President.

"Club President, sprinkle this on the four corners of the church."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyi immediately understood what Chen Mo meant.

In this last minute, Chen Mo was planning to use fire to stall for time.

Although he didn't know if his hypothesis was correct, since it was a wax figure, it must fear fire the most!

The surrounding wires faintly gave a sense of loosening. Chen Mo picked up a large bucket of alcohol and poured it all over Mother Ghost's forehead.

Then, he threw out Threading the Needle, leaped up with both feet, and slid down to the first floor using the wire.

He ran out of the church quickly.

Threading the Needle reached its limit. Mother Ghost swung her arm hard, successfully breaking free from the wire, her lips splitting open as she let out a shriek at Chen Mo.

"Kid, I will definitely crush you into pieces and turn you into a wax figure!"

She shifted her body, and the remnants of Threading the Needle allowed her immense strength to tear up many floorboards.

Those floorboards hung behind her, bumping up and down along the ground, making a "clanging" sound.

"Goodbye, lighter!"

Chen Mo took the lighter out of his pocket and looked at it with some regret.

He put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and exhaled a wisp of white smoke.

Then he threw it toward Mother Ghost.

He threw the shadow cards, instantly detonating the lighter!

With a "whoosh," the fire soared, and Mother Ghost's entire body was set ablaze.

Her figure writhed and twitched along the ground; the scorching heat waves drove her into a frenzy, and she leaped wildly inside the church.

The ceiling turned into giant droplets of white liquid, crashing down below.

They landed on Mother Ghost with a "patter, patter" sound. The melting speed became faster and faster, and the floor collapsed, looking like a cream cake that a naughty child had dug a piece out of, burying her knees within it.

Chen Mo and Jiang Xinyi stood in the distance, watching as the church, like a candle, gradually twisted and collapsed.

Until Mother Ghost was completely buried within it, the flames still burning fiercely.

Chen Mo pulled out the necklace and threw it into the fire.

"10 seconds left, hurry up and go!"

Jiang Xinyi followed Chen Mo as they ran toward the Dormitory.

One of Mother Ghost's hands reached out from the flames, touching the cold, icy necklace.

She had originally wanted to crawl out and transform into a Flame Mother to chase Chen Mo.

However, upon smelling the scent of him on it, Mother Ghost's entire body spasmed and jolted.

She clutched her head, digging her fingernails into her waxen face, trying to use the pain to keep herself calm.

But it was ultimately useless; that intense ghost energy seemed like a formation sealing her in place.

She could only roar and howl.

"Emma, my sister, why are you here? You only killed one person?"

"Still as useless as before, you piece of trash!"
