[Profile]: A nameless clerk at Blood Saw Pharmacy, a frail yet shrewd human youth who has lived in this world for two years—yet his life may end at any moment...

Lin En calmly examined the suddenly appeared panel.

Over the past two years, he has developed an uncanny ability to stay calm, allowing him to handle almost any situation with remarkable composure.

He studied it repeatedly for a moment.

It is to understand the system's partial functions.

In other words, by consistently fulfilling the tasks assigned by the creatures in this world, one can earn corresponding rewards and enhance their abilities in various aspects?

Lynn thought to herself.

If so.

That gives him a better chance of surviving in this world.

Just then, his teacher's hoarse voice and footsteps echoed from the room.

Lynn, I need to go out for a bit and will be back in about two days. Please keep a close eye on the shop and make sure to lock the door at night to prevent those pesky thieves from taking anything.

a sound produced by a quick-sliding action ——

The sound of dragging came from the corridor.

[Beep! Your Blood Saw Madman teacher assigns you a task: Guard the shop. Rewards: 50 Skull Coins, 100 Base Experience, and 1 Special Reward.]

Task failure penalty: The pharmacy may require additional collectibles.

 ...

Lynn immediately went back inside.

Only the front hall is visible.

His teacher dragged a bloodied sack, inside which something was writhing and rustling.

The teacher's body stood at at least two meters tall, with a dark red complexion and a body covered in cysts.

And a panel suddenly appeared before Lynn's eyes.

[Combat Ability]: Do not try to provoke him.

[Profile]: The proprietor of Blood Saw Pharmacy in Soul Lane, a master of surgical procedures, also dabbles in some 'fun' side hustles beyond his main work...

Lynn's heart was shaken, yet her face remained impassive.

Teacher, are there any things I should be aware of during your absence?

Lynn asked.

He knew this was a question he had to ask, or he might not survive.

The blood-saw man slung the sack over his shoulder and growled hoarsely:

"Those with money take it, those without exchange at equal value, and those unwilling to exchange when they have no money, cut it themselves."

bang ——

He threw a blood-stained bone-scarcer before Lynn.

" remember ."

The blood-sweating madman, carrying the blood-soaked sack, strode out of the shop with a swagger.

No matter what you hear outside, don't step beyond the Soul Lamp's range.

"Whoever sends you out to practice medicine, don't listen to them."

"Close the door and shut the window at night. Kill whoever comes in, and ignore anyone who calls you!"

Lynn nodded, taking the teacher's words to heart.

"Yes! Teacher, I understand."

Then, under his watchful gaze, the burly Blood Saw Man swiftly slipped into the deep darkness.

Time is running out.

Lynn began her daily routine, wiping the blood from the floor, preparing common remedies for various ailments, then stood at the counter with a bone cutter in hand, eyes closed, waiting for time to pass.

And in the next moment.

Dong dong dong —

Three knocks came from outside the door.

Lynn looked up at the gate.

A little girl, covered in dirt, stood at the gate, holding a doll in her arms and gently tapping the door with her tiny hands.

Her face was pained as she said:

"Is the boss here? My doll's arm is broken. Can you save my doll?"

[Click! Blood Puppet sends you a quest: Heal the injured doll. Complete the quest to receive: Skeleton Coin +50, Surgery Skill Experience +50, and Special Reward +1]

Lynn glanced.

Only the flame of the soul lamp outside the door flickered faintly.

The flickering of chaos signals the strength of the approaching party, and under the protection of the Soul Lamp, the other party cannot enter unless you invite them in.

of course .

except for powerful organisms.

The girl's image flashed before his eyes in an instant.

[ Blood Dolls ]

[Level]: 5

Race: Blood and Flesh Evil Spirit

[Attribute: Chaos Neutral]

[Combat ability]: You can provoke it slightly

[Description]: The doll, carrying her doll, wanders through the haunted alley searching for her mother. Whoever tries to snatch my most cherished doll, let the doll devour them...

Lynn felt a chill run through her, yet her face remained composed.

"Come in."

As a clerk at the haunted alley's pharmacy, Lynn knew the place had its own rules. As long as you didn't cross their taboos, those evil spirits weren't actually killing people, and business could still go on.

The girl sat down in front of the ring, holding her doll in her arms, looking pitiful.

Lynn glanced.

The doll in her arms had one arm completely torn open, spilling crimson blood and stains.

It was like being bitten down hard by something.

Doctor, please save my doll. Her arm is broken, and I can't find it. It's my favorite doll, and if this continues, she will die.

The girl said pitifully.

Then suddenly, her lips jerked violently, the pain radiating to her neck, and a blood-stained grin flashed across her face.

"You must be able to save the doll, right? Big brother."

[Lynn's San Value-5]

Lynn stayed calm, reaching out to examine the doll's severed arm.

Just then, a voice from the system echoed in his mind.

[Sniff! The wound shows teeth tearing marks. Initial analysis shows the target's family member's teeth were moderately damaged, and their blood composition matches the doll's. Preliminary diagnosis: The family member ate one of the target's arms.]

Lynn: "???"

This system is truly impressive—it can even automatically assist him in diagnosis.

If so, it's much simpler.

He glanced at the little girl, brushing aside her blood-stained smile, and asked, "Have you eaten anything recently?"

The little girl instantly repressed her blood-stained grin, reverting to her innocent, pitiful demeanor. With hands clasped, she murmured:

I haven't eaten for days and am starving, but last night I had a hearty meal in my dream.

She licked her lips, then suddenly broke into a silver-bell-like smile and said:

"Very tasty."

Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chir

The doll on the desk suddenly flashed a sinister smile identical to the girl's, repeating the phrase relentlessly.

It's so delicious! So delicious! Heeheehee!
