Too Timid

"Very well, for this disc, I want both of your kidneys!"

The light on the pushcart instantly turned a ghastly green, and the disc seller's body began to be covered in a layer of blue frost. Drop by drop, dark red blood seeped out from his lower back.

Drip~ Drip~

The fresh blood splattered onto the ground, blooming outwards. A strange, foul odor emanated from the ground, making one dizzy and lightheaded.

The disc seller pulled out a surgical knife, no longer than a palm, from somewhere. He stepped onto the blood-stained ground and, step by step, approached the swaying Lu Siye.

"I thought it was some powerful ghost, but it turns out to be just a pathetic fellow who had his kidneys harvested."

Suddenly, Lu Siye's body stopped swaying. He straightened his back and fully activated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill. Rolling waves of heat spread out from his body.

Under the impact of the heatwaves, the blood that had stained the ground began to rapidly dry and evaporate, quickly returning to its original state.

The disc seller's face paled, and he retreated several steps, holding the surgical knife towards Lu Siye, shouting with feigned ferocity, "Who exactly are you?"

[Kidney-Harvesting Ghost's heart jolted, Fear Points +36!]

"I am your Fourth Master!"

Before his voice even fell, Lu Siye kicked and cracked the cement ground beneath him. With a 'bang,' he shot out, arriving in front of the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost in the blink of an eye.

What!

Before the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost could react, it felt a wave of heat wash over it.

Then, its vision suddenly went black, and a scorching hot hand grabbed its face.

The scorching aura instantly broke through its protective Yin energy, piercing into its flesh and blood, emitting a sizzling sound.

Immense force came from its face, and its entire body was lifted uncontrollably, then smashed violently onto the ground.

Lu Siye pulled the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost's head out of the sunken cement ground, leaned close to its ear, and exhaled a breath of hot air. He then said sinisterly, "Didn't you want Fourth Master's two kidneys! Why aren't you taking them?"

"This lowly one had no eyes and offended Fourth Master. I beg Fourth Master to be magnanimous and overlook this minor offense, treating this lowly one like a fart and letting me go!"

The Kidney-Harvesting Ghost's legs trembled like sieves. It endured the scorching pain in its head and said with a tremor.

[Kidney-Harvesting Ghost was terrified, Fear Points +88!]

"Fourth Master here is quite reasonable. It's just a matter of exchanging two kidneys for your item. Don't worry, if I said I'd exchange two kidneys, I'll exchange two kidneys!"

Lu Siye lifted the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost from the ground and took out the Evil-Exorcising Fruit Knife from his system space.

"Really!" The Kidney-Harvesting Ghost's eyes lit up.

It thought its life was forfeit, but unexpectedly, the other party was a fool, still thinking of exchanging kidneys for its item.

"Of course!" Lu Siye grinned menacingly and threw the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost to the ground.

Before the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost, who had an unexpected intimate encounter with the ground, could react, it felt someone sit on its backside.

With a tearing sound, its shirt was ripped apart by a powerful force. It suddenly felt a cold, familiar sensation on its lower back.

In an instant, its body stiffened, and wisps of Yin energy seeped from its forehead.

Its legs trembled slightly, and a chill ran down its back, as if a biting cold wind was piercing its body.

The Kidney-Harvesting Ghost instantly realized something and turned its head to look.

It saw Lu Siye sitting on it, holding a gleaming fruit knife, and making gestures towards the stitches on the gruesome wound on its lower back.

Holy crap!

So when you said exchanging kidneys, you meant using my own kidneys to exchange.

"No! No more! Fourth Master, consider all those discs as my filial offering to you. I don't need my kidneys anymore!" the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost screamed hysterically.

[Kidney-Harvesting Ghost's soul was in disarray, Fear Points +99!]

"Ah~ How can Fourth Master go back on his word! If this gets out, won't others laugh at Fourth Master for being untrustworthy."

Lu Siye brushed away the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost's hands, leaned forward, grabbed the back of its head, and smashed its entire face into the ground.

"There, there! Your Fourth Master has over a decade of medical experience in his dreams, so it'll be quick and won't hurt!" Lu Siye patted its lower back.

Dreaming of being a doctor, what good is that kind of experience!

The Kidney-Harvesting Ghost became even more frightened and struggled incessantly.

But Lu Siye, sitting on it, was like a mountain. No matter how it struggled, it was futile.

Lu Siye held the fruit knife and slowly, bit by bit, used the tip to cut the fine stitches on the wound on its lower back.

[Ding~ Fear Points +89!]

[Ding~ Fear Points...]

With every thread cut, a heavenly system notification sounded in his ears, causing him to subconsciously slow down his movements.

And possibly due to the insufficient sharpness of the surgical knife, Lu Siye even failed to cut through the threads in one go several times.

Five minutes later, an explosion like a torpedo blast echoed from the alley.

Lu Siye, with a look of regret, got up from the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost, which was now only half a body, with a rather unappetizing-looking kidney placed beside it.

Lu Siye looked with disdain at the ghost blood on his hands. This ghost was too timid; it self-destructed halfway through having its kidney removed.

If not for the heatwave generated by his full exertion of the skill pushing away the splashing ghost blood, he would have been drenched in it.

Lu Siye took out his phone and snapped a photo of the Kidney-Harvesting Ghost, which was now only half a body lying on the ground.

He uploaded the photo and location to the Town Demon Suppression Division, then casually walked out of the alley.

He looked down at the dried blood scabs on his hand, gave a sudden shake, and turned all the scabs into powder, which scattered into the air with the wind.

He didn't need to worry about the aftermath here; the professional personnel from the Town Demon Suppression Division would handle it.

Lu Siye hailed a shared bike by the roadside, moved to a more secluded street, and continued to stake out the red Porsche 911.

Time ticked by, gradually approaching midnight.

Lu Siye took out his phone, opened the ride-hailing app, randomly selected an address, chose all vehicle options, and started trying to hail a ride.

After waiting for more than three minutes, a Didi driver finally accepted the order, but unfortunately, it wasn't the car he was waiting for.

He canceled the order and placed a new one. Less than five seconds later, it was the same driver as before.

Lu Siye canceled it helplessly, hailed another shared bike, moved to a different secluded spot, and started hailing a ride again.

After waiting for more than three minutes again, a driver finally accepted the order. The vehicle model was a Porsche 911, with license plate number ******* – it was the ghost car.

After waiting for less than five minutes.

A faint engine roar came from the distant street, and then a red blur streaked across the dark street, stopping not far in front of him.

Lu Siye looked at the passenger seat of the Porsche 911. A heavily made-up girl was sitting there, appearing quite young.

The file didn't mention there being two ghosts in the car, did it?!

Lu Siye had a complaint he wanted to voice; the intelligence was classicly inaccurate again.

Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly opened his phone, composing a message to the Town Demon Suppression Division operator.

"Is that the ride-hailing car you called?" After waiting for a while and seeing Lu Siye not getting in, a young man with white hair, looking about twenty years old, asked from the driver's seat.

Lu Siye stared intently at the Porsche 911 in front of him, like a country bumpkin seeing the world for the first time, seeming a bit stunned and not answering immediately.
