He asked in a low voice, "Am I... about to die?"
"No. I will let you live."
As Chi Junlin spoke, he led Wenren Xuan slowly up the hillside.
Then I stood outside the door of the tall building.
This tall building is less like a building and more like a huge, pure black iron box.
Because this building is unlike any other building in Kyushu.
It's like a giant tombstone without doors or windows.
Just to quietly bury something here.
When Chi Junlin carried Wenren Xuan to the front of the high-rise building, she remained silent.
They didn't say anything.
It seems to be waiting for some kind of scrutiny from the high-rise buildings.
I don't know how much time passed like this.
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from inside the building.
Then, in front of Chi Junlin, a black gate controlled by a mechanism slowly opened.
The interior was deep and dark, seemingly awaiting the arrival of the Crimson King.
Chi Junlin did not hesitate at all and walked straight into the door.
Thus, they arrived at the Ghost Doctor's territory.
Speaking of the Ghost Doctor, Chi Junlin had actually crossed paths with her before.
Before meeting Chi Junlin, Wei Ziqing had been brought here by Yan Chunyu.
The purpose was to save Wei Ziqing's life.
Before Wei Ziqing was taken to the residence of the Ghost Doctor, all the "miracle doctors" and "famous doctors" he met had almost the same answer regarding Wei Ziqing's body.
That means this woman has a terminal illness caused by cold poisoning, which is incurable. She will live to be at most thirty years old.
But the Ghost Doctor is different from many medical schools in the world; her medical skills are extremely unorthodox.
It could even be said that he came from the same school as the Ghost Plague Master, and that he practiced "poison" techniques.
However, the plague used its poison to harm people.
The ghost doctor, however, used the poison to save lives.
However, the Ghost Doctor is a somewhat eccentric person.
This person is capricious; whether or not to save someone depends entirely on his mood.
Yan Chunyu was also desperate at the time, after all, Wei Ziqing's life was hanging by a thread and his days were numbered. So she had no choice but to try anything as a last resort.
In the end, the Ghost Doctor prescribed a medicine, instructing Yan Chunyu to fight poison with poison, and to give Wei Ziqing a large amount of hot and toxic substances.
This allowed Wei Ziqing to live for more than ten years.
He then held on until Chi Junlin appeared and used his extraordinary internal energy to treat his body, after which he gradually recovered.
On the other hand, it was a coincidence that Yan Chunyu was able to lead Wei Ziqing to the Ghost Doctor.
Because the Ghost Doctor never leaves his residence, and his dwelling is extremely secluded, ordinary people seeking medical treatment and medicine cannot find him at all.
Moreover, if you want the Ghost Doctor to save people, you have to pay a huge price.
Ordinary people would find it extremely difficult to bear the price they demand.
Therefore, the story of the ghost doctor healing people only exists in the legends passed down through generations in Miao villages.
Yan Chunyu came to Ghost Valley after hearing this legend, with the idea of giving it a try.
At this moment, after Chi Junlin led Wenren Xuan into the high-rise building, he saw an extremely empty room in front of him.
There was only a small bed in front of her, so they put Wenren Xuan on the bed and made her lie down.
After leaving Chi Junlin's embrace, Wenren Xuan appeared extremely unwell, her face ashen, as if she were about to die.
Chi Junlin frowned.
At that moment, he looked up and calmly said four words to her.
"Ghost Doctor, save him!"
However, after Chi Junlin spoke, there was no movement around him.
The Ghost Doctor seemed to ignore him.
Chi Junlin then said with a slightly cold expression, "I'll count to three. If there's no response, I'll tear down this dilapidated building right now!"
three……"
Having said that, she stood up from the ground, clenched her fists, and prepared to start demolishing the building.
Where had that ghost doctor ever seen such a scene?
I originally planned to let things cool down a bit, see what the relationship between the two was really like, and then make some demands.
However, Chi Junlin did not reveal his identity at this time, and due to his irritability, he lost a lot of patience.
I'm in no mood to play guessing games with the Ghost Doctor right now.
Not long after, a gap appeared in the roof.
A humanoid face made of mechanical parts descended into the room.
Then the face slowly opened its mouth and spoke in a rough, mechanical voice, "I've never seen someone come to me seeking treatment with such an attitude. Are you here for treatment or for revenge...?"
Chi Junlin raised an eyebrow and said, "Never seen it before? Well, you've seen it for yourself today."
"then you……"
"Don't try to be mysterious. In short, to save or not to save."
Chi Junlin then spoke impatiently, "She was made like this by one of your Eight Eccentrics, Ghost Plague. I know you are actually from the same school, and it's already a good thing that you're not causing trouble for me now that you've come here."
If you can save her, I will grant you any request you make.
But if we don't save her, the consequences... well, ghost children, ghost old men, ghost prostitutes, ghost soldiers, ghost books, ghost paintings...
Of those eight eccentrics of southern Hunan, most are already dead. The rest are in my hands.
Whether you want to befriend me or make enemies... you should think it over carefully.
Chapter 311 No Debts Between Us
Upon hearing what Chi Junlin said, the mechanical face in the room fell silent for a moment.
Then he revealed a slightly human-like conflicted expression.
It seemed somewhat incredulous, so it asked, "You said the ghost child, the ghost old man, the ghost prostitute, the ghost soldier, the ghost book, the ghost painting—you actually managed to take care of all five of them?"
"Ah."
Chi Junlin sneered and said, "The Eight Eccentrics of Xiangnan are now only nominally alive, and I almost caught Guiyi as well."
Aren't you happy to hear this?
"..."
The face remained silent for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then I should indeed thank you."
However, according to the rules, if you want me to save someone, you still need to pass my three tests..."
"What kind of bullshit test is this!"
Chi Junlin couldn't help but curse, "I'm just asking you, do you want to live or die!"
The human-faced man, however, said nonchalantly, "I may die, but I will never break my own rules. Do you want to save her or not?"
Chi Junlin then said with a stern face, "Let's begin."
"My first test will be a riddle-and-answer session."
I asked you, what animal, in the morning…
"people!"
Chi Junlin interrupted the man's question in an annoyed manner and gave the answer directly.
"...You got it right."
The man's face then carried a slightly helpless tone as he continued, "Then the second challenge is the breaking of the magic lock."
As it spoke, it opened its mouth and a strangely shaped and enormous square lock fell out.
Chi Junlin picked it up and immediately noticed that it was extremely similar to the "Wise Old Man Lock" that Yu Xiao had helped him unlock once before.
They are clearly the same type of items.
The face continued, "There's a key hidden inside this magic lock. You can only unlock it by listening to my incantation and using the incantation to open the lock..."
Before the words were finished, a "click" sound was heard.
Chi Junlin used violence to twist the "magic lock" into pieces.
Then he took out a brass key that was hidden among them.
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Chi Junlin stared at the face with cold eyes.
It looks like he's about to tear someone's face off at the slightest provocation.
"……Yes."
What else can I do but tell?
In the darkness, the Ghost Doctor's expression already showed some pain.
She now had to believe that the woman in front of her had the power to kill all of the Eight Eccentrics of Xiangnan except for herself.
So brutal, tyrannical, and unreasonable.
It would be impossible to appear in this state without absolute strength.
So the Ghost Doctor continued to manipulate the human face.
He said to Chi Junlin, "Open the bronze box in front of you; the third level is inside."
Chi Junlin raised his head and saw a face behind him, after which a bronze box had been placed down.
She used the key in her hand to open the box, and then she saw that inside was a beautifully crafted dagger.
The Ghost Doctor then continued, "My rule is that to save one person, I must kill one person."
If you want me to save the woman you brought, it's very simple.
If you use this knife, just take out your heart and give it to me.
In this way, we have reached a fair trade agreement.
"You die, she lives."
Upon hearing the Ghost Doctor's words, Chi Junlin couldn't help but frown.
She was about to say something when she heard a voice calling from behind her.
"The Crimson King descends..."
Chi Junlin turned his head and saw that Wenren Xuan had woken up at some point.
Her complexion was still somewhat dark, but her cheeks appeared rosy.
It seems they've entered a state of temporary resurgence.
Chi Junlin came to her side, his expression unusually gentle, and said, "Why did you get up? You've been poisoned. Lie down and don't move. I'll have someone help you detoxify."
Wenren Xuan shook his head and said, "I heard it. The Ghost Doctor said it was a life for a life. But this deal is actually unfair."
She doesn't know who you are; your life is far more important than mine.
Ignore her, just take me away.
Anyway... nobody in this world cares about me, so it doesn't matter if I die.
