The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 143
When Qing Li arrived at Chu Ci’s private operating room, it felt like returning to their first meeting.
The door was open, and a strong, rotten stench of blood wafted out.
On the operating table lay a low-level male ghost, drenched in blood. His skull had been removed, and his brain, like black mud, mixed with dark brown blood into a thick, viscous liquid.
“The brain inside is completely damaged. If you want treatment, you need a fresh brain,” Chu Ci’s voice was cold, showing a hint of emotion only upon seeing Qing Li.
The ghost on the operating table blinked his foolish eyes: “No wonder I always felt my brain wasn’t working well, it turns out it’s damaged!”
He suddenly thought of the rumor about the astronomical medical fees of this hospital, and looked pitifully at Chu Ci: “Doctor, how much would it cost to get a new brain?”
Chu Ci didn’t speak. An intern ghost beside him, smiling, said: “Dear patient ghost, our hospital always puts people first and provides free treatment.”
The male ghost was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the intern’s sly smile: “If you want a smarter brain, it will cost the price of two legs.”
“What about the free treatment?” The male ghost almost jumped to the ceiling from the operating table upon hearing this outrageous price.
The intern ghost kept smiling: “Our hospital offers free treatment only for patients, and you are not human.”
Male ghost: “(º?º*)
He couldn’t refute that.
“Forget it, as long as it makes me smarter, I’ll give up my two legs!”
The male ghost lay back on the operating table.
The intern ghost conducted the surgery with Chu Ci guiding from the side.
Qing Li remained silent, not wanting to affect the intern’s performance.
She wanted to see if this intern had improved after learning from Chu Ci for so long.
The intern skillfully placed a fresh, clean brain into the opened skull of the male ghost. After sewing up the incision and tying a beautiful bow, he used his sharp teeth to cut the surgical thread.
“Dear patient ghost, your surgery is perfectly complete.”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, quite satisfied with his performance.
The male ghost sat up, touching his head, his rotten face wrinkling.
“Why do I feel no change? It seems like I haven’t become smarter!”
However, the intern ghost excitedly grabbed the male ghost’s hand, congratulating him enthusiastically: “Congratulations, you’ve realized that you haven’t become smarter, which means you have become smarter!”
Male ghost: (?o?)
“It seems right!”
“Okay, sick ghost, it’s time for the next amputation surgery!”
The intern ghost pressed down the male ghost again and skillfully picked up the amputation chainsaw nearby.
Qing Li watched the intern ghost’s smooth and slick operation and couldn’t help but say, “You’re really a genius!”
A small operating room is too humble for such a talent!
“Kid, are you interested in a promotion?” Qing Li said with a burning gaze.
As soon as the intern heard about the opportunity for promotion, his eyes also shone.
“I’m not interested in promotion, I just want to work hard and devote myself to the dean until my death.”
Qing Li patted his shoulder and asked, “What is your name?”
The intern ghost obsequiously said, “Tan Xin.”
“Tan Xin… Greedy, what a good name. Our hospital needs excellent and smart employees like you. It’s too humble to let you stay in this small operating room. I can’t tolerate talents being wasted, so I have an important job for you…”
Qing Li started to make big promises and left the operating room with Tan Xin, arm in arm.
Chu Ci, who was ignored, darkened his eyes and finally couldn’t help but speak, “Didn’t Ah Li come to find me?”
His voice carried a trace of unnoticeable resentment, as this was the first time he was thoroughly ignored.
Hearing Chu Ci’s voice, Qing Li’s hair stood on end.
“Doctor Chu, come with me, I also have a very important matter to discuss with you.”
She almost forgot the purpose of her visit.
Chu Ci’s tightly pressed lips finally showed a smile, and he followed her out of the operating room.
The empty operating room was left with only the lonely sick ghost lying on the operating table.
“Um… is there a doctor to amputate me?”
His voice echoed in the operating room…
Arriving at the dean’s office, Qing Li seriously said to Tan Xin, “I highly appreciate your talent in being shameless, so I’ve decided to establish a marketing… oh no… a publicity department and appoint you as the head of the department. You’ll be responsible for training employees’ enthusiasm and communication with clients, making employees willingly work hard and clients willingly spend money.”
She entrusted Tan Xin with an important task.
Tan Xin felt the heavy weight on his shoulders, the affirmation from the dean!
He excitedly said with tears in his eyes, “Dean, I, Tan Xin, swear not to let you down.”
“Alright, you go out first and implement the work of the publicity department. I have some important things to discuss with Doctor Chu.”
After the deception, Qing Li sent Tan Xin away.
Before leaving, Tan Xin passed by Chu Ci, lifted his chin, straightened the wrinkles on his collar, and glanced at Chu Ci sideways: “Little Chu, listen to the dean!”
This kid started floating after getting promoted!
After Tan Xin left, the office door closed.
“What does the dean want to discuss with Little Chu? Little Chu will… not refuse.”
Chu Ci smiled, his voice emotionless, and his half-closed eyes gazed at Qing Li.
Qing Li scratched her head and got straight to the point: “I’ve always been at the bottom of the player rankings. Did Doctor Chu tamper with it?”
When she learned that the top ten players would be sent to a breeding farm, she realized why she couldn’t climb up in the horror live stream rankings!
“Yes, I did it.”
Chu Ci nodded. From the first meeting, he had taken a strong interest in this unique girl and couldn’t bear to see her targeted by the ghosts of the forbidden land so soon.
Seeing his admission, Qing Li’s mouth curled up: “I knew it, you like me.”
She was a bit narcissistic, but Chu Ci did not deny it.
In medicine, ‘liking’ is just the brain secreting phenylethylamine and dopamine affecting emotions.
But before Qing Li, Chu Ci had never had such emotions.
He lived a cold and lonely life in this world, repeating failed experiments day after day.
Until one day, a girl suddenly burst into the operating room…
Qing Li sat in the office chair, her face as youthful as when they first met, only her eyes were not as bright as before.
She propped her cheeks with her hands, squeezing her face out of shape, and said in a muffled, soft voice: “Doctor Chu, do you think ghosts and humans can coexist peacefully in the horror world?”
Chu Ci shook his head without hesitation: “No.”
In this world where the law of the jungle prevails, humans, being at the bottom of the food chain, dreaming of coexisting peacefully with the ghosts that control this world is too naïve.
Qing Li naturally understood that her idea was far-fetched, like a chicken from KFC standing in front of her talking about coexistence; she would definitely swallow it whole, bones and all.
But still…
“Doctor Chu, what if I want to make humans coexist with ghosts in this world?”
She looked at Chu Ci, her dim eyes regaining their brightness.
Chu Ci’s sutured lips twitched slightly as he said faintly: “Then go ahead and do it! If you get bullied, I’ve said… you can always choose to stay by my side. I will protect you.”
