"Three thousand gold coins... Dr. Bachcher."

“I know! You don’t need to repeat yourself!” Bacher looked at the girl in black inside the door with a little embarrassment. “Um… Miss Su, I have some urgent business to attend to here, so I may have to excuse myself for a moment. Pig will take care of the body here, so please don’t worry, it won’t delay your business.”

"It doesn't matter."

This was the first thing Miss Su said after entering the room.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Bachcher turned around and walked out of the room. "Praise for arthroplasty, so extravagant! What's the name of that generous guest, or rather, that shrew?"

"He introduced himself as Vossia Piandel..."

The two voices faded into the distance, the iron gate closed, and only Xiaolian's pitiful cries for help and the big man's heavy breathing remained in the room.

The girl, bound hand and foot, was lifted by Pige onto the blood-stained wooden bed.

Watching the butcher, wearing a hideous pig-head mask, raise his cleaver under the dim light, Xiaolian began to frantically twist her body in near despair.

No! ! !

She never imagined that she, who had barely survived the eerie Gray Gold Town, would end up dying in such a dark room filled with a pungent stench.

The thought of watching helplessly as she was disemboweled and her internal organs were pulled out like cotton wool from a rag doll filled Xiaolian with increasing panic and despair.

As the butcher wearing the pig-head mask suddenly swung his knife, a splash of warm blood immediately splattered onto the girl's face.

"Well!!!"

Xiao Lian, whose face was splattered with blood, closed her eyes in pain, but her body did not experience the expected pain.

She opened her eyes tremblingly, only to be surprised to see the black-clad girl, who had been silent until now, kick the headless butcher to the ground and then use the knife in her hand to cut the ropes binding her.

"You...?" Xiaolian stammered in surprise.

The other person simply whispered, "Hurry up and go, it'll be difficult to deal with that doctor when he gets back."

Having survived the terror, Xiaolian realized that there was no need to figure out the intricacies of the situation; escaping was the priority.

No... we can't just run away!

Xiaolian touched her clothes and found that the Life Sprout she had brought back from Gray Gold Town was gone!

This is something she and Chen Yao risked their lives to bring out from Gray Gold Town, and they absolutely cannot lose it here!

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave!" Miss Su frowned slightly.

Did she save an idiot? Now that she's holding someone back, it's really going to be a disaster.

"My things! I left something very important here, and I have to find it before I can leave!"

Xiaolian gritted her teeth. She didn't dare to explain what it was, since it was an important tool involved in the game between the gods, and she couldn't just tell any outsider she met.

Even your savior is the same.

"What could be more important than your life?!" Miss Su's usually cold voice finally showed some fluctuation.

She now deeply regrets saving this idiot.

Even if I had 100,000 taels of gold, now is not the time to go looking for it.

"That was entrusted to me by Brother Chen, I'll take it with me even if it kills me!" After saying this, Xiaolian stopped talking nonsense, grabbed the oil lamp hanging on the wall, and ran to the other side of the room to search.

"Hey!?" Miss Su hurriedly followed, finding it hard to believe that there really were people who didn't care about their own lives.

The two ran into the dark space where corpses were hanging, but they didn't notice that the tall, headless body lying on the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

Chapter 137 Darkness Under the Lamp

At this moment, directly above the dark, secret room where Xiaolian and the others were.

In the lobby of a tavern, where lights flickered and voices rang out.

Wearing a black trench coat, Ye Xiao sat on a high stool by the front desk, holding a wooden cup of mead, waiting silently.

The chubby golden retriever, Greta, was resting on his shoulder as always, snoring softly.

Three days have passed since the Grizzly Bear Guild's Tu Chou was imprisoned. Apart from accompanying the eldest princess on her persuasion efforts, Ye Xiao has not encountered any new incidents.

Whether it was the Mother of Arthritis or the Mother of Life, they seemed to have retreated beneath the surface of the water, making no further noteworthy moves.

Based on the scene he and Ella had previously staged at Duke Havil's mansion, Ye Xiao had been waiting for someone from Samuel's clinic to contact Skadi.

But they never got to wait.

Therefore, he finally decided to take the initiative and, through his previous encounter with Lu Yu, the Samuel Clinic "patient" who used the demon sword captured at Isaac's mansion, and the information revealed by Wei Ming during interrogation, he managed to find the tavern.

This small tavern, located in a settlement outside the imperial city, is said to be the base of a "doctor" from Samuel's clinic.

"You are Mr. Vossard Piandel?"

A sharp voice rang in his ears. Ye Xiao turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw the bartender wearing a vest. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Dude, you said you would help me find someone, but all you brought back was yourself? Even though you changed your voice, this is still a bit too perfunctory."

"Ah? I've already brought Dr. Batchell over, Mr. Piendel." The bartender didn't quite understand what Ye Xiao meant.

"Huh?" Ye Xiao was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the voice wasn't coming from the bartender. He couldn't help but look down at the wooden chair behind the table. "What's going on? Can your bar stools talk?"

"Hey, how can you be so rude!"

A round head peeked out from behind the table, and Ye Xiao then noticed that there was a short man standing behind the table.

At this moment, the other person stood on tiptoe and Ye Xiao finally saw half of his head. No wonder he had thought it was the bar stool behind the table talking.

“Oh, sorry, sorry, I don’t have much experience dealing with goblins,” Ye Xiao said with an embarrassed smile. “Um, how do you say ‘hello’ in goblin language again? Abracado…”

"Damn it! I'm not a goblin, no, you're just here to cause trouble, aren't you!?"

Bachcher's anger surged, his face flushing red. If he hadn't just heard that this guy in the trench coat was willing to pay three thousand gold coins for the surgery, he would have wanted to tear him to pieces right now.

No, he's now decided to tear the guy apart; once he gets the money, he's going to kill him.

"Ah, well, I'm really sorry, but buddy, you look a bit too much like a goblin. The blame for the mistake can't be entirely placed on me..."

"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll cut your tongue out and make soup with it!" Bachcher roared.

Ye Xiao raised his hands and obediently shut his mouth.

"You told Langcoen you were willing to pay 3,000 gold coins for a transplant surgery, right?"

Ye Xiao nodded.

"Since you've already offered this price, you should be aware of our rules here, right?"

Ye Xiao gave a thumbs up.

“Alright, come with me.” Bachcher picked up an oil lamp and gestured for Ye Xiao to go to the side door next to the bar. “What do you need from the transplanted relics?”

Although Bachcher had already made up his mind to take that bastard down and kill him, he still had to ask about his needs on the surface to avoid arousing suspicion.

Ye Xiao first poked his heart with his right index finger, then made a two-pointer, then clenched his left fist and shook it against his right side, slowly retracting his right index finger, leaving only his middle finger pointing at Bachcher.

"Hey! Are you mute?? Who the hell can understand what you're saying? Can't you speak?" Bachcher's lips twitched with anger. "And that last gesture of yours, something felt off to me?"

"Didn't you just tell me not to talk?" Ye Xiao scratched his head sheepishly. "I just meant to say 'you can do whatever you want'."

"What the hell did those gestures you just made have to do with 'you figure it out'?" Bachcher felt like he was about to explode, but he managed to hold back.

Calm down! Taking this idiot down and killing him will net us several thousand gold coins. There's no need to get angry at him in front of the crowd now!

Pushing open the side door, the two descended a narrow, long wooden staircase into the dimly lit wine cellar. But this was not the end. Bachcher turned a lamp holder on a pillar, and a row of wine racks attached to the wall moved to both sides with a slight rumble, revealing a dark opening.

"Wow," Ye Xiao exclaimed slightly, "That's cool, bro."

"Stop talking!" Bachcher said through gritted teeth.

What's wrong with this person? Why is he so unpredictable? Is he going to talk or not?

Ye Xiao was speechless.

Inside the cave entrance, there was another long staircase, but this time it was made of stone.

At the very bottom of the steps, in front of a heavy, rusty metal door, Bachcher squinted and pushed it open.

"Kid, welcome to my clinic." Looking at the familiar room, Bachcher's lips curled into a smile. "I'll give you a proper operation right away... huh?"

The brutal doctor from Samuel's clinic suddenly froze at that moment.

He saw his burly brother in the room, gripping a girl in black tightly by the neck with both hands, lifting her into the air.

Beneath the girl's skirt, her two small feet, encased in black knee-high stockings and Doc Martens boots, were relentlessly kicking at the big man's chest.

"No, Mother Goddess above, Pig, Miss Su, what are you doing???" Bachcher was dumbfounded and rushed into the room. "Even if you want to do that kind of thing, don't do it in my sacred clinic! ...Oh my god, Pig, where did your head go!?!"

Ye Xiao followed Bachcher inside and also witnessed this inexplicable scene.

What happened? Did the doctor's two colleagues have a falling out?

That girl looks kind of familiar, doesn't she?

Huh? Susie Yun? ???

Why would she be in a place like this?

Ye Xiao was slightly surprised, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a girl in the corner clutching her abdomen with blood at the corner of her mouth.

The girl, draped in an elven ranger's cloak, leaned against the corner of the wall, panting heavily with a pained expression, clutching a twig-like object tightly in her hand.

Who is this? They look kind of familiar.

Ye Xiao never expected to run into two familiar faces in this godforsaken place, while Bachcher on the other side was even more bewildered.

"Stop! Pig! Are you crazy? What are you doing?! Miss Su is a VIP customer of the clinic!!"

Chapter 138 The Brainless and the Unhappy

Poor Piglet had no head and couldn't explain to his brother what had just happened.

Only after his brother pried his hands apart could he point at Su Xiyun and then at the wandering girl on the ground beside him, making unintelligible gestures.

Su Xiyun finally caught her breath, clutching her neck which was red from being choked, and glanced at the person who had come in, but she secretly felt that something was wrong.

This behemoth was already extremely strange and difficult to deal with; it was as strong as an ox and could not be killed no matter how many times it was hacked at.

The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and once they figure out the situation, it will be her death.

That's the worst possible situation... If I hadn't been so soft-hearted and wanted to save that guy.

She glared at Xiaolian, who was sitting against the wall, feeling genuinely annoyed.

"Dr. Bachcher, what's going on?" Suddenly, a voice that Susie Yun found somewhat familiar came from the doorway.

Susie Yun then noticed that there was another person who had followed them there.

Although Ye Xiao had disguised himself slightly, Su Xiyun still recognized him at first glance.

Especially the fat cat perched on the other person's shoulder; it seemed familiar.

But regardless of whether they were familiar with each other, the person who came in with Dr. Bachcher at this time was definitely an accomplice of the Samuel Clinic and could not be a good person.

Susie Yun made a quick guess.

However, this is a golden opportunity. While Dr. Bachcher is still figuring out the situation and not paying attention to them, she might be able to sneak out in the dark with the wandering girl!

“It’s nothing serious, Mr. Piandel… hurry up and help me find, uh, find Pig’s head.”

"what?"

On the other side, Ye Xiao almost couldn't hold back, thinking he had misheard.

But when he saw the smooth notch on the big guy's shoulder, he was somewhat amazed.

Holy crap, what kind of dark humor is this?!

Despite the influence of the evil god's power, Ye Xiao had seen things that could move without a head before, but the situation of helping to find a head was truly abstract.

And when did this Susie Yun get involved with Samuel's clinic? If they were together, why were they just fighting? But if they weren't, then the goblin guy said this "Miss Su" was a VIP...

Ye Xiao scratched his head. Even he was a little confused about the complicated situation, but he couldn't do something as stupid as asking questions on the spot.

Not knowing what to do, he could only lower his head and pretend to help find the head in the dim light.

Why not just take advantage of the darkness and eliminate Bachcher directly? But wouldn't that alert him? What if Susie Yun escapes using some special means like Dong Muge? Then we wouldn't have a chance to figure things out...

Weighing the pros and cons of taking action in his mind, Ye Xiao bent over and suddenly saw a huge pig's head under the blood-stained wooden bed.

What the hell is this??
