I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 333 Puppet Medicine (66)

"Thank you so much for the water, thank you so much."

Sitting on the carpet in the villa, Chen Yu observed his surroundings and marveled at how wonderful the underground place truly was.

Here, you can see a complex network of pipes, as well as villas that have grown wildly on their own.

Zhao Ting stood below, marveling at the Yulin No. 7, occasionally touching it and then excitedly dancing a strange dance.

She was even happier when she heard that the puppet that had been used to kill people could be given to her, and her eyes lit up when she looked at Chen Yu.

Yan Dazui was still recording a video, Wang Chuyun was observing her sister's condition, and Chen Yu, after finishing his water, looked at Li Cheng and Zhang Yi in front of him, unsure of where to begin their conversation.

After an awkward silence, Zhao Ting finally returned, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. She rushed over, grabbed Chen Yu's hand, and said, "You must be Chen Yu! I've seen every single one of your battles, and your epic battle in the Underworld was absolutely amazing!"

Wang Chuyun, who came up with Zhao Ting, watched her movements and naturally walked up as well, carrying Zhao Ting to the other side and then taking Chen Yu's hand in her own.

This little gesture seemed a bit strange, but Zhao Ting didn't think too much about it. Instead, she excitedly shook Wang Chuyun's hand and said, "You must be Wang Chuyun! I've analyzed every single one of your navigators, and you're truly amazing."

"Thank you."

Wang Chuyun sincerely thanked her, then let go of Zhao Ting's hand and continued to hold Chen Yu's hand.

The two subtle movements alerted the doctors and nurses present to something.

A dozen seconds later, Zhang Yi spoke first: "It's Evil God Syndrome."

Li Cheng nodded: "That should be it. The patient will unconsciously close the distance with the people around them and assert their dominance through some unconscious little actions. This is related to the greedy nature of the evil god."

Zhao Ting nodded knowingly: "No wonder."

Zhao Ting tried to hold Wang Chuyun's hand, but Wang Chuyun looked at her with confusion, then let go of her hand without hesitation and continued to hold Chen Yu's hand.

"This is interesting. This condition isn't very common because there are so few evil gods. Li Cheng, Zhao Ting, go and hug them. I want to see the specific symptoms of this condition!"

"Hehe, I want to eat the evil god!"

Dodging Zhao Ting's attack, Chen Yu shielded the bewildered Wang Chuyun behind him and said helplessly, "Can you guys stop being so crazy? I can tell you're medical staff, but this isn't a hospital."

"Sorry, it's an occupational hazard. But this condition is really rare."

Although the little incident was a bit embarrassing, the subsequent icebreaker was actually easier.

After learning that the three were all medical workers, Chen Yu asked curiously, "Medical workers must have a high income, so why are you living here?"

Zhao Ting puffed out her chest proudly: "Interest!"

Li Cheng lowered his head awkwardly, and after a while said, "I got into a little trouble. Chen, Wang, how did you get here?"

"I tried to save my classmate, and then I was turned into a duelist. I thought, fine, let's duel it is, but they have no sportsmanship. They ambushed me, this little comrade, and hit me with the Demon Slayer Cannon."

Looking at Chen Yu, and then at Wang Chuyun, the two people and the ghost immediately thought of beautiful phrases such as "hero saves the beauty," "elopement," and "destined to die for each other."

Young people these days are so adorable.

However, Li Cheng thought of another question and asked curiously, "Why is the Fuze Cultivator Management Committee detaining your friend? Normally, owing medical bills would at most result in kidney problems, right?"

“I had a dream before, and the Fukuzawa Committee thought it was pretty good, so they wanted to take it for themselves. If they had just told me normally, I wouldn’t be this angry, but they insisted on taking it. Can I just let them get away with it!”

Li Cheng recalled how the other party had done what Zhang Yi had done without a word of argument, and nodded in agreement.

The Fukuzawa City Monk Management Committee is indeed too domineering. They must have done this kind of thing many times before, abusing their power by taking advantage of their access to essential medical resources.

The lower levels exploit patients, the middle levels exploit doctors and nurses, and the upper levels exploit the hospital. This place is truly awful!

This kind of thing eventually becomes a path dependency, leading them to directly rob people, wanting to squeeze everything out of them before they feel at ease.

Zhang Yi snorted twice in dissatisfaction: "As expected, this is a gathering place for bad people. The committee is really too wicked. By the way, Chen Yu, what kind of dream did you have?"

"It's not some extraordinary dream. Have you ever heard of 'The Haunted Hospital'? Probably not."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu sensed that the atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit off.

Li Cheng looked at him with obvious astonishment, his mouth agape and he didn't close it.

Zhao Ting rushed downstairs and returned with a piece of paper, saying to Chen Yu, "Please sign this."

Zhang Yi coldly stared into the distance: "They actually drove my idol to this point. Those people on the committee deserve to die! Now I'm going to transform into a vengeful ghost and kill those guys."

Seeing the three of them, Chen Yu asked in confusion, "You guys have played in my dream? It can't be such a coincidence."

Zhao Ting grasped Chen Yu's hand, then Wang Chuyun pulled it away, then she grasped it again, then she pulled it away again.

Despite the repeated tugging, she excitedly said, "To be honest, I absolutely love your dreams. Whenever I feel like killing my boss, I recover my health through your dreams."

"No way."

"Me too," Zhang Yi said excitedly from the air. "I'd like to ask, are you a successor of the medical skills of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

"Is it that obvious?! Why is it that everyone seems to know about any skill I have?! Is your nickname Leeuwenhoek? Do you guys always look at people with a microscope?"

"I knew it!" Zhang Yi said excitedly. "To have witnessed a genius like you, I could die without regrets."

Just as Zhang Yi was about to ascend to heaven, Chen Yu grabbed him, giving up several years of his lifespan to pull him back.

"Don't rush into reincarnation! The situation is extremely dangerous! We're still trapped, what's the rush?"

"Sorry, I got too excited. But Mr. Chen, how do you plan to get out of this predicament?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Yu actually came up with an idea.

Looking at the three of them, Chen Yu asked, "Have you ever heard of puppet medicine?"

"What's that?" Li Cheng asked, puzzled.

Zhang Yi gave Li Cheng a disdainful look: "As expected, she's a junior college student."

Then, he looked at Chen Yu and asked seriously, "What is that?"

Li Cheng threw a punch and roared, "You don't know anything either!"

"It's different. You don't understand because you're unsure if it exists. I don't understand because I'm certain it doesn't exist. Our reasons for not understanding are different."

"Damn it! You don't even know anything and you're still pretending."

Telling the two to stop arguing, Chen Yu said, "It's normal that you don't understand. That's a medical technique specially made for my supernatural power. A medical technique specifically designed to counter the supernatural power of human-machine integration."
