Lin Qiye:...
Braised spider claws? With those two skinny poles of yours, how much meat could there be?
Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly. Facing such a harmless little boy, he truly could not bring himself to shatter his soul.
Seeing Lin Qiye shake his head, the little boy's face turned even paler.
He gritted his teeth and said mournfully, "Then... then tell me! How many do I have to give you before you'll let me go? I'll give them to you, okay...?"
"I don't want your spider claws," Lin Qiye said calmly. "I want you."
"I... I'm still a child!"
"...I mean, I want you to work as an orderly at my Psychiatric Hospital."
"An orderly?" The little boy blinked. "What does that do?"
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment. "Keep old men company while they read, cheer up old ladies, cook sometimes, do the laundry, and run a marathon now and then. It's actually pretty easy."
The little boy's eyes were filled with confusion. Although he did not know what a marathon was, it sounded like... it was not such a bad thing?
Phew... as long as he isn't selling my organs!
"If I become an orderly, you really won't kill me?"
"Of course."
"No problem!!" The little boy nodded furiously, afraid Lin Qiye might change his mind.
Lin Qiye reached into the void, and a labor contract instantly appeared in his hand. It was identical to the one he had signed with Li Yifei. Spider Child's section was filled with obligations he had to fulfill, while Lin Qiye's own obligations were completely blank...
The only difference was that this contract did not contain additional clauses like the one forbidding the snake demon from taking over Li Yifei's body.
Lin Qiye handed the contract to the little boy.
