10: Chapter 10 is too timid.
"Very well, for this disc, I want your two kidneys!"
The light on the cart instantly turned a ghastly green, and a layer of blue frost began to cover the Disc Seller, while drops of dark red blood seeped from his lower back.
Drip~ Drip~
The blood dripped onto the ground, spreading out, and an inexplicable stench emanated from the floor, making one feel dizzy and nauseated.
The Disc Seller produced a scalpel less than a palm's length from who knows where, and stepping on the blood-stained ground, he approached the swaying Lu Siye step by step.
The records of the Evil Suppression Bureau state that Ghosts are divided into two types.
One is the ordinary Ghost, which is a Ghost whose body is composed of Yin Qi. When such a Ghost is born, it subconsciously replicates its body from when it was alive, possessing all the same structures as a physical body, including blood and internal organs, but after the Ghost dies, everything will turn into Yin Qi and slowly dissipate.
However, there are exceptions; some items that the Ghost cared about most during its lifetime will remain and not easily dissipate.
As for the principle behind this, Lu Siye did not know, and the exorcism app could not find the reason either.
Then there are those like the Delivery Ghost, which stuffs other people's blood into its own body; after death, that blood which does not belong to it will not dissipate even if it flows out.
The other type is the Corpse Ghost, which is a Ghost formed when its own corpse happens to be nearby at the time of its birth, and the Yin Qi enters the corpse to form a Ghost similar to a zombie.
"I thought you were some formidable Ghost, but it turns out you're just a pathetic guy who had his kidneys removed by someone else."
Suddenly, Lu Siye's body stopped swaying. He straightened his back, fully channeled the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, and rolling waves of heat spread out from his body.
Under the impact of the heat waves, the blood that had stained the ground began to dry up and evaporate rapidly, quickly returning to its original state.
The Disc Seller retreated a few steps in panic, pointing the scalpel in his hand at Lu Siye, and shouted with a fierce exterior but a cowardly interior: "Who exactly are you?"
[The Kidney-Cutting Ghost is startled, Fear Value + 36!]
"I am your Fourth Master!"
Before the words had even faded, Lu Siye stomped and cracked the cement floor beneath his feet, shot out with a 'bang', and arrived in front of the Kidney-Cutting Ghost in the blink of an eye.
What!
The Kidney-Cutting Ghost hadn't even reacted before it felt a wave of heat rushing towards its face.
Then, its vision suddenly went black, and a scorching large hand grabbed its face.
The scorching aura instantly broke through its protective Yin Qi, rushed into its flesh and blood, and made a sizzling sound.
A tremendous force came from its face, and its entire body was uncontrollably lifted up, then slammed heavily onto the ground.
Lu Siye pulled the Kidney-Cutting Ghost's head out of the sunken cement floor, leaned into its ear, exhaled a puff of hot air, and then said sinisterly:
"Didn't you want Fourth Master's two kidneys! Why aren't you coming to take them?"
"This little one had no eyes and offended Fourth Master. I beg Fourth Master to be the bigger person and not hold a grudge, just release this little Ghost like a fart!"
The Kidney-Cutting Ghost's legs were shaking like a sieve, and it endured the scorching, stinging pain in its brain as it said tremblingly.
[The Kidney-Cutting Ghost is terrified, Fear Value + 88!]
"I, your Fourth Master, am a very reasonable person. Isn't it just trading two kidneys for your things? Rest assured, I said I'd trade two kidneys, so I will trade two kidneys!"
Lu Siye lifted the Kidney-Cutting Ghost up from the ground and took out the evil-exorcising fruit knife from the System Space.
"Really!" The Kidney-Cutting Ghost's eyes lit up.
It had thought its life was forfeit, but it didn't expect the other party to be such a fool, still thinking about trading kidneys for its items.
"Of course!" Lu Siye grinned hideously and threw the Kidney-Cutting Ghost onto the ground.
Caught off guard, the Kidney-Cutting Ghost, having made intimate contact with the ground, hadn't even reacted before it felt someone sitting on its buttocks.
With a rip, its upper garment was torn to shreds by a great force, and it suddenly felt a cold and familiar sensation on its lower back.
In an instant, it stiffened its body, and wisps of Yin Qi seeped from its forehead.
Its feet trembled slightly, cold air radiated from its back, as if a biting cold wind had pierced through its body.
The Kidney-Cutting Ghost instantly realized something, and it turned its head to look.
It saw that Lu Siye was sitting on top of it, holding a cold, gleaming fruit knife, and was measuring the stitches on the gruesome wound on its lower back.
Damn it!
So when you said trade kidneys, you meant trading my own kidneys.
"I don't want to anymore! I don't want to! Fourth Master, all those discs are offerings to you, I don't want the kidneys anymore!" the Kidney-Cutting Ghost shrieked miserably.
[The Kidney-Cutting Ghost is scared out of its wits, Fear Value + 99!]
"Hey~ How can Fourth Master change what he has said! If this gets out, wouldn't others laugh at Fourth Master for not keeping his word."
Lu Siye slapped away the Kidney-Cutting Ghost's hand, leaned forward to grab the back of its head, and smashed its entire face into the ground.
"Be good! Your Fourth Master has over ten years of medical experience in his dreams; it will be over in a second, it won't hurt!" Lu Siye patted its lower back.
What the hell kind of medical experience in a dream is that? That kind of experience is useless!
The Kidney-Cutting Ghost was even more terrified and struggled constantly.
But Lu Siye, sitting on its body, was like a great mountain; no matter how it struggled, it was to no avail.
Lu Siye held the fruit knife and used the tip to slowly, bit by bit, cut open the thin thread stitched onto the wound on its lower back.
[Ding~ Fear Value + 89!]
[Ding~ Fear Value...]
Every time a thread was cut, the heavenly System notification sound rang in his ears, which couldn't help but make him subconsciously slow down his movements.
And perhaps because the fruit knife was not sharp enough, during the process, Lu Siye failed to cut the thread in one go several times.
Five minutes later, a blast like a torpedo firecracker rang out from the alley.
Lu Siye stood up from the Kidney-Cutting Ghost, which now only had half a body left, with a look of regret; beside it lay a kidney that didn't look very fresh.
Lu Siye looked at the Ghost blood on his hands with disgust; this Ghost was too cowardly, self-destructing just when the kidney was halfway cut out.
If it weren't for the heat waves generated by his full-powered Cultivation Technique that had deflected the splattering Ghost blood, he would have been drenched in it.
Lu Siye took out his phone and took a picture of the Kidney-Cutting Ghost, which only had half a body left on the ground.
He uploaded the photo and location to the Evil Suppression Bureau, then walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened.
He looked down at the dried blood scabs on his hands, gave a sudden jolt, and shattered all the scabs into powder, which drifted away into the air with the wind.
He didn't need to worry about the follow-up matters here; professional personnel from the Evil Suppression Bureau would come to handle it.
Lu Siye scanned a shared bike by the roadside, switched to a more secluded street, and continued to fish for that red porsche 911.
...
Time passed bit by bit, gradually reaching midnight.
Lu Siye took out his phone, opened the ride-hailing app, randomly selected an address, selected all vehicle options, and then began to hail a ride.
After waiting for more than three minutes, a Didi driver finally accepted the order, but unfortunately, it wasn't the one he was waiting for.
After canceling the order and placing a new one, not even five seconds had passed before it was the same driver as before.
Lu Siye canceled helplessly, scanned another shared bike to switch to another secluded location, and began to hail a ride again.
After waiting for another three minutes, a driver finally accepted the order; the vehicle model was a porsche 911, and the license plate number was, which was that very Ghost car.
After waiting for less than five minutes.
A faint engine roar came from the distant street, and then a red afterimage was seen crossing the pitch-black street, arriving not far in front of him and stopping.
Lu Siye looked at the passenger seat of the porsche 911, where a heavily made-up girl was sitting; she didn't look very old.
The file didn't say there were two Ghosts in the car, did it!?
Lu Siye had a complaint to make; it was the classic case of inaccurate intelligence again.
Suddenly, he thought of something, hurriedly opened his phone, edited a message, and sent it to the dispatcher at the Evil Suppression Bureau.
"Is it you who called the ride-hailing car?" A young man with white hair, who looked to be in his twenties and was in the driver's seat, couldn't help but ask after waiting for a while and seeing that Lu Siye still hadn't gotten in.
Lu Siye stared straight at the porsche 911 in front of him, like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and for a moment, he seemed a bit stunned, not answering immediately.
