An inexplicable force propelled Su Cheng and Song Yichi away.
Yan Yu walked forward stiffly, step by step, and sat down in the chair.
This consultation room is Doctor Li's territory; she seems to have complete control over the entire space.
Yan Yu forced out a voice from her throat. "They are my family members! My family members have the right to know about my condition!"
Doctor Li's eyes darted around, and when she looked at Su Cheng, she unconsciously licked her lips, a look of longing flashing in her eyes. She immediately changed her mind, "Oh, then let them all stay."
The inexplicable thrust vanished instantly. Su Cheng narrowed her eyes slightly. From her perspective, Doctor Li exuded a heavy aura of death and a wisp of Red Resentment.
She is not a monster.
She is a ghost.
Su Cheng estimated that her strength was equivalent to that of the Red-Fog Female Ghost from the terrifying train.
Su Cheng walked to Yan Yu's side and put her hand on her shoulder.
The protective skill took effect, and instantly the black aura that was about to taint Yan Yu on Doctor Li's body dissipated as if it had encountered a barrier.
Yan Yu felt a sudden lightness throughout her body, and the hand on her left shoulder brought her a sense of inexplicable peace.
Doctor Li asked slowly, "Where do you feel unwell?"
She was asking Yan Yu, who was seeing patients, but her eyes were fixed on Su Cheng.
Su Cheng returned the gaze without changing her expression. Having experienced multiple instances of the game, she was no longer afraid of the eerie stares of ghosts and monsters.
Yan Yu's hand, already gripping a long knife under the table, tentatively replied, "I don't want to keep what's inside me."
Doctor Li's eyes suddenly shifted, staring at Yan Yu, her voice high-pitched and sharp, "You want an abortion?!"
This has triggered a sensitive word.
The consultation room grew colder after those words; an invisible pressure descended, like a heavy weight crashing down on one's shoulders, making it difficult to stand upright.
Yan Yu gripped the knife tightly, not believing the foreign object in her stomach was a "fetus," and repeated in a low voice, "I don't need anything in my stomach!"
Doctor Li darkened. "Do your family know about this? As a resident of Golden Leaf Town, how can you be so irresponsible?"
Yan Yu frowned; these words sounded rather unpleasant.
Su Cheng noticed the Red Resentment on Doctor Li's body deepening. "You are responsible for your own body. You are just a doctor."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Song Yichi quickly walked to Su Cheng's side.
Once he stood still, the dull pain in his chest disappeared.
Su Cheng then belatedly realized that she had forgotten to bring him along when she came over to activate her Protection skill...
Facing three pairs of eyes, Doctor Li suddenly stood up, black nails sprouting from her fingertips, her eyes turning red, and asked in an eerie tone:
"This is your last chance. Do you really not want it?"
The question of life and death has arisen again.
The three men didn't answer, but instead drew their weapons in perfect unison!
Yan Yu was the closest. She swung her broadsword at Doctor Li, but the blade missed its mark on his neck.
Doctor Li's figure suddenly transformed into a ghost, appearing in the corner, and he said viciously, "You don't respect life, you deserve to die!"
Black cracks appeared on the pristine white walls and quickly spread throughout the room.
The dark red curtain covering the cabinet fell.
The cabinet had eight shelves, filled with transparent glass jars. More than a hundred of these jars contained fetal remains preserved in formalin!
Some of these fetal remains were already formed, with gray skin, their eyes closed and fists clenched, curled up; others only had limbs, their facial features indistinct and not yet fully developed...
Doctor Li fiddled with the small bell hanging beside the cabinet, whispering gently, "Babies, it's time to get up..."
The bell rang crisply.
The fetus inside the jar opened its mouth and began to cry out in heart-wrenching agony.
"Waaaaaaah..."
"Waaaaaah!"
Perhaps dissatisfied with being awakened, her cries were exceptionally shrill, echoing throughout the entire examination room and causing a dull, piercing pain in her cochlea!
Su Cheng covered her ears uncomfortably, while Yan Yu and Song Yichi's ears were already bleeding.
"Hehehe~" Doctor Li laughed heartily, "Baby, eat up~ These are the foods Mommy prepared for you~"
As Doctor Li finished speaking, the fetal remains in the jar stirred.
Hundreds of fetal remains stretched out tiny hands and crawled out of the formalin water.
After being removed from formalin, they open their pupil-less white eyes and crawl around with incredible speed on all fours, like spiders!
Su Cheng recited the Fire-Attracting Art, and a surge of Qi rushed to her fingertips.
Following her pointing direction, a ghostly blue flame suddenly erupted, trapping the fetal corpses at the very front of the line in the fire!
"Woo-wah woo-wah woo-wah--"
"Waaaaaah!"
"Oh! My child!!!"
The baby's cries overlapped with Doctor Li's shrill screams.
"I'll make you pay with your lives!!!"
Doctor Li roared angrily, her aura exploding, and malicious Red Resentment wrapped around each fetal corpse like threads.
The fetal remains quickly split apart and spread throughout the room, accompanied by increasing cries, some high-pitched and some whimpering.
These cries contained pain, sorrow, and resentment...
Yan Yu and Song Yichi each swung their weapons, but each strike became increasingly heavy.
A buzzing sound filled my ears, and all I could hear in my mind was the crying of a baby, as if it were demanding why I didn't want it!
Su Cheng stood in front of the two, absorbing most of the pressure. Her jade pendant and profession protected her from the corrosive influence of resentment. She was agile, and even if the chance of her Fire-Attracting Art failed, she could avoid being injured.
A system notification sound will play every time a fetal corpse is cremated.

"This little fire won't burn me and my babies! You deserve to die!!"
Doctor Li sneered as he grew taller, and the entire consultation room suddenly twisted and changed under his control.
It disappeared, and the fetal remains disappeared too.
Muddy water surged in from all directions, enveloping Su Cheng, yet she was able to open her eyes and breathe despite being submerged.
The walls were compressed and bent into spheres, stained a bright red flesh color, and covered with meandering blood vessels of varying thicknesses, rising and falling slightly with each breath.
He was only an arm's length away from Su Cheng.
"Thump"
"Thump"
It was the sound of a heartbeat, but not Su Cheng's.
Su Cheng lowered her head. She was completely naked; her body was not that of an adult, but that of a fetus.
She returned to her mother's womb.
"Baby, Mommy has already decided on your name, how about Su Cheng? Mommy's Chengcheng will definitely be the cutest baby."
The mother's voice came from behind the wall of flesh, every word filled with tender love.
Su Cheng's fingertips tightened slightly, just like a normal fetus clenching its fist.
My dearest baby~ Go to sleep, go to sleep~ Mommy is waiting for you~ ne ne ne~
A gentle humming drifted over, distant yet reassuring.
As the song played, nestled in the warm amniotic fluid, she seemed to return to her most primal state, with drowsiness seeping into her consciousness.
Su Cheng reached out and touched the wall in front of her, hearing her mother's surprised voice. " Chengcheng, did you miss Mommy a lot?"
Yes, Mom, I miss you so much.
But I also know that I will never see you again.
The boning knife slashed through the wall, accompanied by a scream of "Mommy!" Amniotic fluid gushed from the opening, and Su Cheng crawled out of it.
The surroundings transformed into a consultation room.
Su Cheng soberly dealt with the numerous fetal remains clinging to her body.
The "mother" on the ground, tears welling in her eyes, opened her arms to her, sobbing sadly, "Is this how you treat your mother? All I wanted was to hug you..."
Su Cheng stared at it, realizing it still dared to wear that familiar face, and felt an even greater chill in her heart. She drew her knife and stabbed at it.
Before the blade even touched it, it flinched away in fear, revealing its true form as black mist.
"You shouldn't have been born!" Doctor Li roared angrily, looking warily at the boning knife in Su Cheng's hand.
Su Cheng drew her knife and stabbed, not wanting to waste words with it. She didn't know what gave it the right to say such things.
Su Cheng unleashed her full Daoist aura, and all the fetal corpses blocking Doctor Li's way were absorbed by the boning knife and turned into ashes.
Seeing the situation was not good, Doctor Li tried to escape, but Su Cheng had more than just a boning knife. A cinnabar dagger appeared out of thin air and stabbed its soul!
While it wouldn't cause it significant damage, it did freeze it in place for three seconds!
In those three seconds, Su Cheng had already reached it, and the boning knife pierced its soul, instantly and uncontrollably drawing away the red resentment.
At the same time, blue ghostly flames ignited from its body...
"Ah!!"
It roared in agony, its blurred face contorted beneath the black mist.
As its soul dissipated, it roared its final, mournful cry, "I curse you! I curse you to be childless and childless forever! To die alone!!!"
Su Cheng calmly drew her sword; she was not afraid of such a curse, whether it was true or not.
After Doctor Li disappeared, the Red Resentment vanished as well.
Yan Yu and Song Yichi jolted awake from a beautiful dream, terrified as they dealt with the fetal corpse that had fallen on them!
Yan Yu and Song Yichi's knives are not as powerful as Su Cheng's boning knife, but both have the ability to harm supernatural entities.
The unborn corpses, having lost the power of resentment, could no longer split, and the lethality of their cries plummeted.
Su Cheng continued to use the Fire-Attracting Art to incinerate the last few dozen fetal corpses over a large area.
The three worked together and quickly disposed of all the fetal remains.
The black patterns on the wall disappeared, and the cabinet full of formalin bottles and jars remained in the same place, but the bottles and jars were now empty.
The consultation room was restored to its original state; apart from the overturned tables and chairs, it remained clean and bright, only the doctor was gone.
"Huff..." Yan Yu gasped for breath, shaking her head slightly, feeling a little dizzy.
Song Yichi in slightly better condition than her, though his face was a little pale and his forehead was damp with sweat, making him look rather disheveled.
Su Cheng wiped her sweat and looked at the handleless control room door. Where was the doorway?
Song Yichi took a sip of water, walked over, and stepped into the groove at the bottom of the door. "This is a sensor door."
