Chapter 156: Everyone is Happy

Say imported and it's imported.

The moment he got confirmation, Ji Jue's hand had already poked into the meat mountain's big mouth, and then, he... started to regret it.

This slippery touch and the wriggling that made people's hair stand on end, and that basin-sized foul-smelling big mouth, vividly explained the truth that the world can't break—money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat.

Why is it so hard to earn your broken money?

*Crack! *

A crisp sound, the meat mountain with fierce light in its eyes instantly couldn't feel its chin. The whole chin was dismantled by Ji Jue's other hand, completely dislocated.

Then, the dexterous five fingers of the right hand passed through the esophagus, searching wantonly among the deformed internal organs.

Pinched the thick heart.

Then—the complex patterns of non-attack appeared between the five fingers, alchemy began!

Without mercy, extract!

Between the five fingers that were shrinking, the grease that made a *chi-chi* sound instantly oozed out, and the rich spiritual quality surging within it shrank rapidly in the violent search and grasping.

"Heh! Hehehehe—ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

In the big mouth, a vague and shrill scream erupted again. The meat mountain convulsed violently. Under the skin stretched thin as paper, spiritual quality circuits like living things spread from the blood vessels, including everything.

Fluid alchemy, manifested.

At this moment, the blood surging from the heart turned into a medium for fluid alchemy, transmitting the power of non-attack to the whole body that was bloated to the point of bursting, including everything.

"Quiet—"

Ji Jue raised a finger to his face, and from the overlooking, signaled to the meat mountain. So in an instant, the screaming stopped abruptly, because the vocal cords were removed.

Then, the whole meat mountain convulsed violently, twitching involuntarily, setting off waves.

On the big face full of horizontal meat, the eyes turned white, and faint light was cast.

And under the thin skin, one could see, rays of light gathered from the blood vessels.

In the dull sound as if the water pump started, all the souls swallowed by the meat mountain were squeezed out by the power of non-attack.

Even, including the meat mountain's own!

Thousands of silver flashes gathered towards the heart along the blood vessels. All large pieces of residual spirits were instantly shattered by the dissociation technique, and then purified with fluid alchemy to extract the purest clear spiritual quality, entangled between the five fingers, the gorgeous light shining more and more.

In less than a few seconds, the whole meat mountain exuded layers of ointment-like sweat, and the terrifying body shape shrank at a speed visible to the naked Ether Eye.

In the end, only a piece of exaggerated and cumbersome skin remained, wrapping a skeleton.

The faint light in the eyes flickered, like a candle in the wind.

And when Ji Jue finally pulled his sticky arm out of her mouth, she couldn't help it anymore, instinctively opened her mouth to vomit, just like a sewer eruption, completely emptying the stomach bag that had expanded to the limit.

A disgusting waterfall rose instantly, viscous gastric juice and undigested meat paste and even withered bones were sprayed out.

Finally, in that pool of foul-smelling acid and vomit, only a monster that was unrecognizable remained, chest, weak rising and falling.

Ji Jue, who had expected it, had already dragged the shriveled family member who was dumbfounded beside him, blocking in front of himself and Tong Hua, like an umbrella, catching all the vomit.

Then, he turned his head and handed the thing in his hand to Tong Hua.

"Hold it well."

"Yuck, so disgusting."

Tong Hua picked up a basin on the ground, took the large lump of solid paste-like substance that looked like frozen grease, frowned, and subconsciously leaned back: "What is this?"

"Glycerin."

The concise answer made her small hand tremble again.

"Since you're here, so much fat, don't waste it." Ji Jue comforted: "Don't worry, before reacting with nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, its nature is still quite stable."

Saying that, he finally put down the family member who was splashed with a full head and face, lowered his head, examined his results, and finally nodded in approval: "Look, the complexion is much better now!"

Until now, the family member with a messy face reacted, trembling, stiffly turned his head: "You, you... didn't you say you were going to use imported therapy?"

"Isn't this imported?"

Ji Jue spread his hands: "Does it not count as a cure for the disease... her condition is malnutrition, look at her now that nutrition is no longer excessive, isn't it good?!"

The shriveled monster's expression twitched.

As if wanting to bare teeth and hiss.

All ferocity and mania, under Ji Jue's gaze, gradually froze, dissipated... until, no longer able to hide his fear and anxiety.

"Pay... pay money will be paid..."

He racked his brains to mobilize the little intelligence he had, trying hard to think: "But you didn't say how much! This is fraud, fraud!

From the gaze of those eyes.

"This is perfectly in accordance with the regulations."

Ji Jue lowered his head and told him, "Very much so, completely in accordance with the regulations—you made a request, I performed a diagnosis and explained the method. And you, having exercised your right to informed consent, adopted the plan, made the decision, and finally, the treatment achieved perfect results."

"And now, the illness is cured, yet you tell me you want to file a complaint?"

Ji Jue leaned in, staring at his face, and asked word by word: "Could it be... you don't want to pay?"

The withered monster's expression twitched, then twitched again.

As if it were about to bare its teeth and hiss.

All the ferocity and rage froze and dissipated under Ji Jue's gaze... until it could no longer hide its terror and unease.

"Pay... I will pay..."

He racked his brains to mobilize his limited intelligence, struggling to think: "But you didn't say how much! This is fraud, fraud! I want to see the director, I..."

But before him, Ji Jue's smile was gradually covered by shadows, becoming increasingly eerie: "'Any price is fine,' those were your exact words, right?"

"I... I..."

"It's okay, don't worry about not being able to afford it, I'm not a greedy person." Ji Jue raised a finger and promised with a smile: "Just a little bit is fine, relax, it won't hurt."

For a moment, his eyes seemed to brighten with inexplicable surprise.

"Re... really?"

"Shh, don't speak—"

Ji Jue raised his left hand, fingers spread, and just like that, lightly and gently, pressed them onto the withered monster's face.

Grip.

From the terrified scream, just like picking a ripe fruit from a branch, he gave a gentle twist!

Crack—

The melon fell as the stem broke.

The miserable scream stopped abruptly; a shriveled corpse fell backward, then began to spasm, constantly trying to grab at the air in futile struggle.

And on that severed head, the monster's two eyes saw, as their last sight, a gentle smile. And even, from behind the cracks of that smile, flames gradually gushing out.

Infinite flames of despair rose, swallowing everything.

The effect of Non-Aggression unfolded once more; with the operation of Masterful Craft and the assistance of Mental Primacy, and even the effect of Non-Aggression, in an instant, the skin, fur, and flesh on that head shriveled, faded, and turned to dust.

Only the white, jade-like skull remained, with circles of spiritual circuits emerging on it, engraved within, and finally, transforming into a cage-like locking structure.

In less than a few seconds, using the original soul's container as a base, a simple spiritual cage was completed.

Then, a large amount of Sin-Mutation spiritual essence scavenged by Ji Jue in his right hand was poured into it.

Thus, a wisp of emerald spiritual light ignited from the hollow Ether Eye sockets of the skull.

Signaling to Ji Jue that there was still plenty of room inside.

"Looks pretty good."

Ji Jue nodded, wiped his hands on the headless, wriggling body, and finally picked up a necklace from beside the opponent... anyway, there wasn't much of a neck left, and it couldn't be worn anymore, so he might as well gift it to himself.

When he brought his hands together and opened them again, the original silver necklace had turned into a chain hook, one end hanging on the crown of the skull, and the other end hanging on the belt under his white coat.

"Hmm, it actually looks quite decent."

Ji Jue nodded in approval and turned to ask, "How does this look?"

Tong Hua, who had witnessed the whole process, held the basin of glycerin, her two hands trembling continuously.

Several times, she wanted to speak but stopped.

From the incoming cold wind and that eerie atmosphere, she was completely unable to speak, only tears were about to flow out... Is this what an Awakened of the Embers is like?

So scary!

"Well, since the treatment is over, I won't delay everyone's time."

Ji Jue put his hands on his hips and finally grinned at the other shivering patients in the ward: "I will come back to take care of everyone tomorrow. Patients who didn't receive treatment today, please don't worry, everyone will get a turn.

If you have any needs later, be sure to press the bell to call the nurses and doctors."

Just like that, after leaving behind these heartwarming words, Ji Jue, having finished his rounds, pushed the door open and walked out with Tong Hua.

The moment the door closed, in the deathly silent ward, long-suppressed wails and screams finally erupted, so loud. Mixed with faint sounds of chewing and sobbing.

As the lights went out, everything sank into darkness.

No longer visible.

From the wails and cries inside the ward, the corridor instead welcomed a deathly silence.

Seeing the smiling Ji Jue, and even the 'consultation fee' hanging from his waist, the patients in the corridor vanished without a trace in an instant, running as far as they could.

Fearing that this guy would come by for a free clinic next to help everyone solve their pain problems.

And Ji Jue also turned back, took the basin from Tong Hua's hand, reshaped the basin into a bucket thick enough, and stared at the glycerin gradually melting in the bucket, full of anticipation.

But before they could even return to the office, they heard heart-stopping footsteps coming from the end of the corridor again.

In a moment of shock and panic, a doctor stitched together from corpse parts appeared before them.

Like a nightmare, right in front of them.

Ji Jue raised his head and looked at this face that was starting to become familiar: "We meet again, Director Tang Tang Qian. Is there anything you need to instruct?"

"I received a report from a patient that someone violated hospital regulations—"

The attending physician was still grinning exaggeratedly, a wisp of blood winding down from the smile, disappearing between the teeth, his sharp teeth hungrily opening and closing.

A fishy, foul stench rushed toward them.

He asked, "Is it you?"
