The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Bizarre Cases
?•???????????•?
“How did you do it?” Chu Ci asked with a piercing gaze.
Qing Li yawned, casually tearing off the talismans from the corpse’s head, and the body returned to calm.
“Dr. Chu, how about we make a deal?” More talismans appeared in Qing Li’s hands out of thin air. She smiled, “I’ll give you these talismans. I believe with Dr. Chu’s skills, you should be able to uncover the secrets within them.”
She threw the bait, confident that this man would willingly take it.
“Okay, what kind of deal do you want?” Chu Ci asked with interest.
Seeing his agreement, Qing Li raised her arm, stretching lazily. With sleepy eyes, she said, “I want to take a nap here. Just make sure Dr. Chu doesn’t let anyone disturb me.”
“Of course, not even ghosts,” Qing Li added.
She yawned again, and the weariness in her eyes grew.
This darn place had been affecting her sleep. Now that she found a safe and reliable spot, she couldn’t let it pass.
Chu Ci paused briefly, clearly not expecting such a proposition.
Seizing the moment while Chu Ci was distracted, Qing Li wrapped the corpse on the operating table with a white cloth and casually threw it away. She swiftly lay down herself, closing her eyes in leisure. (TL: Girl doesn’t it stink? ?)
Hmm, lying on this operating table is really comfortable, much better than a KFC sofa.
“What’s your name?” In a daze, Qing Li heard Chu Ci’s voice.
She lazily replied, “Qing Li.”
“Qing Li—” Chu Ci softly pronounced her name, his tongue grazing over his teeth, adding a hint of charm to his low, husky voice.
[“How come I feel like this man is eyeing the village girl?”]
[“His gaze towards the village girl is really unsettling, more like he wants to dissect her.”]
[“The village girl is surprisingly bold, actually sleeping here.”]
[“Don’t even mention it, despite the rural attire, the village girl’s appearance is quite pretty and lively.”]
In front of the operating table, Chu Ci lowers his gaze at the woman peacefully sleeping. He casually picks up a surgical knife, lightly caressing the sharp blade, reflecting a cold glint in his icy eyes.
Such an interesting young girl!
“Sister, I’ve come to find you.”
In the corridor, a young boy holds a leather ball, his hollow voice immersed in a chilling atmosphere. Lowering his head, his eyes are cold and profound.
“Thud, thud, thud.”
The ball bounces as he ominously surveys one operating room after another until he stops.
“Sister, I’ve found you.”
He stands outside the operating room, looking at the closed door, a sinister smile forming on his lips. However, as he prepares to enter, his smile gradually stiffens…
“Sister, come out quickly!”
“Sister, come out!”
“Hurry, come out!”
Along with the sound of nails scratching the wooden door, the boy’s voice becomes disturbingly distorted.
His features gradually contort, crazily scratching the wooden door, leaving behind bloody marks.
“Come out—”
The sharp and piercing sound wakes Qing Li, and she opens her eyes discontentedly, murmuring, “Dr. Chu, it’s too noisy outside.”
“Sorry, I’ll handle it.”
Chu Ci is crouching on the ground, mimicking Qing Li’s actions, he attaches talisman paper to the corpse’s head. When the body starts to move, he quickly tears it off.
Repeating the process joyfully, he fails to notice the commotion outside. (TL: I kinda find this behavior cute, which sounds weird)
Standing up, he casually grabs a surgical knife and slowly opens the door.
The sharp cries outside abruptly cease…
When Chu Ci returns, the surgical knife blade drips with thick, dark blood, emitting a putrid smell.
[“What exactly happened outside?”]
[“The camera missed it, such an exciting scene!”]
[“I just realized why the village girl returned to this operating room. She wanted Chu Ci to deal with the little boy, making them ghosts biting ghosts.”]
[“At the moment, it seems the little boy can’t handle Chu Ci. The village girl did a great job.”]
The barrage in the live chat keeps scrolling, but it doesn’t bother Qing Li from continuing to sleep.

“Shen Ruo, take a look at this.”
In a dim office, with peeling white paint and accumulated dust on the desk, if you look closely, you will notice a row of tiny handprints on the office desk.
Lin Xue’er, in order to assert her presence, frantically rummages through files.
In the clichéd horror plot, these files often contain crucial information.
Shen Ruo takes the file and quickly scans it under the dim light.
It contains patient cases with no significant information.
“Based on the blood script’s description, the central figures in this mission should be a little boy, a little girl, or two little girls. We should focus on finding cases in this age range,” Zhou Ya reminds.
With her reminder, they search the office separately.
“I found one; could it be this?” Lin Zizhou furrows his brow, presenting a yellowed case with genuinely eerie contents.
Name: Mu Qing
Age: 13
Condition: Delusional disorder triggered by a car accident
The medical records are documented in the form of a diary.
2015.3.17
My little brother came to see me again today. He seemed very unhappy because the doctor sister said that my little brother doesn’t exist; he belongs to my imagination. So, I ignored my little brother the whole day. He angrily grabbed me with his hand and left.

My little brother came, and I’m so happy. Indeed, I am the most important in his heart.

And notice how the Doctor’s notes on the medical record just gradually stopped.
