"Cough cough..."
Liu Yuan cleared her throat and said, "Having one leg means having a very good relationship."
The little one who had his eyes closed and was leaning on Liu Yuan's chest immediately said, "Then I also want to have a leg with—"
"Mmph mmph!"
The little one was halfway through speaking when Liu Yuan hastily covered his mouth. "Shut up! Adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt!"
Liu Yuan and the little one's conversation was heard loud and clear by Lu Yuan on the other side.
In response, Lu Yuan just looked at the snarling Black Claw pointed at him with an elegant yet dignified smile, and said, "It can't be helped. I'm always troubled by my good looks and charm. It really worries me."
The Black Claw, which just a moment ago was ferocious and seemed intent on tearing Lu Yuan into shreds, was now frozen in place. It wanted to move but didn't dare.
The figures that had walked out from the nearby rooms gradually became clear under the candlelight in the corridor.
The closest one to come out was a scaly woman!
This woman didn't walk out, but crawled out from the wall of the room!
She crawled from the wall onto the door, her entire body hidden in the room's shadows as she opened her fanged, bloody maw at the Black Claw pointed at Lu Yuan!
The rooms along this corridor were not across from each other, but staggered.
In the room diagonally across from the woman, a pale, tattooed man stared at the Black Claw in the corridor, his eyes glowing eerily red!
As one strange, humanoid creature after another appeared in front of their rooms in various unique ways, Lu Yuan looked at the Black Claw before him with great interest in his gaze!
Clearly, the Black Claw also felt tremendous pressure. In an instant, the resentful voice emerged again: "Lu Yuan! You're ruthless!"
As the voice fell, the ominously oppressive Black Claw suddenly dispersed into black smoke!
When the smoke cleared, the ferocious giant claw was gone, replaced by a gentle, jade-like hand.
Then, all the darkness that had emerged in the corridor gathered towards that jade hand, finally transforming into an extremely sensual teenage girl with long, purple wavy hair standing in front of Lu Yuan.
The girl had an extremely charming smile on her face. "Doctor Lu, long time no see!"
However, faced with this sensual purple-haired girl, Lu Yuan didn't seem receptive at all.
"Mm, it has been a while since we last met."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he went over and pulled Liu Yuan and Zhang Baobao up.
His attitude was extremely cold, even less friendly than when he had faced the giant claw earlier.
Liu Yuan, who had just opened her eyes, didn't even glance at the big purple waves next to her. But the little one, Zhang Baobao, kept staring at the purple-haired girl ceaselessly.
The purple-haired girl clearly also sensed Lu Yuan's attitude. She went forward to hug Lu Yuan's arm, but as soon as the girl's hand reached out, a flash of cold light suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's hand.
A shiny willow leaf knife was clenched in Lu Yuan's hand.
In an instant, the purple-haired girl's hand froze in mid-air.
"Um, uh, Doctor Lu, Master Lu, can't you be a little friendlier to this young lady?"
A hint of abnormal smile emerged on Lu Yuan's face, the first time he had looked straight at the girl since she appeared.
"If you can promise me one thing, I'll treat you better from now on."
The girl exclaimed in delight, "Really? Lu Yuan, you say, say it quickly! Tell me quickly!"
Lu Yuan pushed up the frameless glasses on the bridge of his nose and slowly said, "If one day, I put you on the operating table, you must promise me..."
"To face me with the demon claws you just transformed into, and not with your ordinary human form now."
Girl: "..."
In a flash, the girl understood.
Even when she had revealed her maliciousness earlier, Lu Yuan hadn't shown any impatience.
But as soon as she took human form, this Lu had turned hostile.
Because this freaking Lu was only interested in body structures he hadn't dissected before!
Having figured this out, the girl felt like she wasn't facing a person.
But a butcher who only liked to cut open and gut all kinds of livestock, one who preferred to do it for hobby and interest rather than for wages.
The girl was at a loss for words for a moment, then Lu Yuan turned to look at the rooms on both sides of the corridor.
Clap!
He snapped his fingers, and all the various humanoid creatures standing in the doorways retreated back into their rooms.
Bang!
Next, all the room doors closed and locked uniformly, except for two rooms.
One was Room No. 1, because the zombie infectee was upstairs.
The other was Room 0057, which the little one Zhang Baobao had a brief conversation with earlier.
Lu Yuan turned and walked towards Room 0057 behind him, with the three girls following.
When they reached the door, Lu Yuan called inside, "Come out, congratulations."
After a brief silence, faint footsteps sounded from inside the room.
But even after several minutes, the person inside still hadn't emerged.
The purple-haired girl was getting a little impatient. Just as she was about to step forward, Lu Yuan suddenly turned and stared at her coldly.
At this moment, although there was no surgical knife in Lu Yuan's hand, his gaze was as sharp as the sharpest willow leaf knife, piercing straight into the purple-haired girl's eyes!
Instantly, the purple-haired girl lowered her head and retreated two steps, not daring to move anymore.
After another two minutes, the person in Room 0057 finally slowly walked out.
He was a man, a young man in an old-fashioned western suit.
Although his suit was very old in style, it was very clean without a single crease.
As the man came out from the room, he looked very young but gave off an air of having experienced many hardships.
He bowed slightly to Lu Yuan and said, "Doctor Lu, can I...can I leave now?"
Lu Yuan took out a key from his pocket and handed it to the man. "You can. Actually you were already fine last month, but to be safe I kept you for another month."
"You'll need to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time to confirm there are no issues. In three months you'll be free."
"For these three months you can live upstairs, in Room 98. That will be your room from now on."
"Congratulations. You're about to return to normal life."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's last sentence, the man froze in place. Then he gradually started trembling all over!
Finally he couldn't even stand steadily and could only lean against the wall, squatting on the ground and sobbing loudly.
"I'm...I'm finally, I'm finally a normal person again..."
"Doctor Lu, thank...thank you, thank you!"
"Doctor Lu, thank you for turning me from a monster back into a human!"
"I...I..."
Seeing the man squatting on the ground sobbing bitterly, the purple-haired girl who had been scared stiff by Lu Yuan looked expectantly at Lu Yuan.
As it turned out, Lu Yuan was also looking at her.
"If you can regain your humanity, I can also let you leave."
"But clearly, you still have a long way to go. Letting you out now would be irresponsible to others' lives."
"As your doctor, I really want to help you recover."
"Don't give up, keep at it."
Lu Yuan's words sounded soft, slightly magnetic, and very pleasant to listen to.
After saying this, he signaled for Liu Yuan to support the man from Room 0057, while he carried Zhang Baobao himself. The four headed in the direction they had come from.
The purple-haired girl stood in place, staring blankly at Lu Yuan's retreating figure, lost in thought.
Liu Yuan slowly walked forward supporting the man beside her, a slight frown on her eyebrows.
It seemed everything had gone smoothly, but somehow she felt like they had forgotten something...
...
Operating Room 4.
Although Lu Yuan's time in the underground third floor seemed short, it was actually quite long.
It had been nearly six hours since Liu Yuan first sedated Old Seven.
On the operating table, Old Seven, who only had one leg reattached by Lu Yuan, slowly opened his eyes.
"Where is this place?"
"It feels like I'm having surgery?"
"Oh? Is the surgery done?"
Mumbling to himself, Old Seven turned his head and saw a basket on the floor, with two bloody legs inside.
These legs look a little familiar.
