Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 615: The Average Idiot Can't Control It

It seemed there really was an unexpected gain today.

"I understand."

Lynn nodded, then rubbed his temples and said:

"I want to personally select some suitable puppets. You can go down for now. After I've chosen, I'll hand you the list."

That Plague Doctor was taken aback, then gave a slight nod and slowly withdrew.

Though he was the Supervisor of the Puppet Factory, with Doctor 315's authorization, he naturally dared not raise any objections.

Soon.

With the closing of the Puppet Factory's doors.

The interior of the factory was left with only Lynn alone.

Lynn's gaze flickered, and he immediately used his authority to take over the entire internal view of the Puppet Factory. After confirming that there were no eyes or watchers, he quickly released Miaomiao and Hei Xianyue."Search."

Lynn turned his head, looking around seriously, and said:

"All the puppets within the Leviathan are here. If your family is still around, Meow Meow, we should be able to find some clues in this factory!"

Miaomiao nodded immediately, vigorously wiping away the moisture from her eyes, her gaze becoming determined.

Father...

Brother...

She still remembered what they looked like back then.

Several centuries... could it really allow Miaomiao to see you both again?!

And Lynn didn't rest idle either. He immediately took the photograph and quickly began comparing it against every container. But Lynn also knew that, after several centuries and with so many messes in between, the chances of them still being here were infinitely close to zero.

But even so, he couldn't afford to let go of even the faintest glimmer of hope.

Swiftly searching and comparing.

The remaining puppets grew fewer and fewer.

But nothing!

Nothing!

Miaomiao's face gradually turned pale.

And finally, when they stopped before the last container holding a bio-armament puppet, a loud crash sounded in Miaomiao's mind. The last shred of hope was shattered.

"Nothing."

Lynn's brow was tightly furrowed as he stared fixedly at the puppet before him.

To confirm once more, he used the Leviathan's neural link to perform another check on all the puppets from various parts of the factory, but still found nothing.

And everything was proving to them.

Miaomiao's father and brother had most likely been consumed in that great fire several centuries ago.

Seeing Miaomiao's dazed expression, Lynn could only pull her into a tight embrace.

"It's okay, Master."

Miaomiao reached out her hand, wiping away a trace of moisture from the corner of her eyes, and forcefully revealed a flushed smile toward Lynn.

"Miaomiao never really held out hope for this anyway. Master Brother was the one who brought Meow Meow here. I know Master has always wanted to find a family for Miaomiao, but it's truly okay."

She was strong.

She didn't cry or break down like before.

Actually, after experiencing so much, she had already grown up a long time ago. She was no longer the kitten who only knew how to cry.

Because.

She had been working hard to search too. She had never given up either.

Lynn took a deep breath, looking at this cat-eared girl with a complex expression. He could only grip her shoulders and say:

"When your brother suppresses that doctor, everything, everything will come to light. It won't take long."

And he knew that now was absolutely not the time to dwell on these matters.

He had to put his plan into action immediately!

He lifted his head, adjusted his Monocle, and quickly came to the container holding the puppet in front of him. Following the operation method in the manual, he drained all the sticky liquid from the container.

As the liquid flowed out with a splash, the full appearance of the puppet before him slowly came into view.

Then he opened the container and closed his eyes.

And faintly, one could see thin tendrils extending from his fingertips, piercing into the back of that puppet's neck and delving into its flesh and blood.

And what he wanted to do was simple.

That was to seize control of these puppets, making them his greatest ally.

But achieving this was not so simple. These puppets were basically all installed with devices that could link to the Leviathan. For now, he could indeed control them through the Leviathan, but once his identity was revealed, his control would be immediately revoked.

So he had to find a way.

To steal that control.

"Miss Puppet, your class is Puppeteer. Do you have any way to remove the Leviathan's influence over these puppets?"

Lynn asked with his eyes closed.

Hei Xianyue walked over, lifted her head, and without saying much, raised her hand slightly. One by one, threads slowly materialized and, in the same manner, pierced into the body of the puppet before them.

But the moment she linked into that puppet's body, she trembled.

Because she saw what Lynn was doing right now. She found that the fine tendrils Lynn was controlling were currently, on the puppet's brain stem, using flesh and blood to inscribe a complex rune.

The Puppet Mark?!

As a Puppeteer, just by looking at the outline of the seal, she could immediately see the purpose of that rune.

And from the patterns, it was a type of seal she had never seen in the Dark World before. It was extremely complex, even more advanced than some of the seals she had learned.

How had he mastered a Puppet Mark of this level?!

Because from what she knew of Lynn, he was deeply rooted in the field of Flesh and Blood. His knowledge of Cursed Arts couldn't be called completely ignorant, but it was at least a blank slate.

"You don't know the purpose of that seal?"

Hei Xianyue's tone showed an emotional fluctuation of hesitation for the first time.

Lynn kept his eyes closed, drawing from memory, and said, "Of course I know. But I only know how to draw it. As for its principles, I'm half-baked. That's why I came to you for guidance and reference!"

Hei Xianyue stared at him intently, feeling that this guy seemed even more mysterious than before.

But she didn't dig deeper into this.

Because everyone has their own secrets.

She studied the seal he had carved out, thought for a moment, and said, "Your seal is very advanced, or rather, it's very complete. So complete that it almost eliminates all the Cursed Art techniques requiring complex operations. To put it in terms you can understand, it's simplified to the point where even an idiot can manipulate it freely."

Lynn: "..."

Why did he always feel like she was saying something between the lines?

Lynn pondered and asked, "Can you operate it?"

Hei Xianyue shook her head and said, "No. Although this rune is simplified to the point where an idiot can operate it, it still hides a special mechanism inside. That mechanism seems to be exclusively bound to you. If someone else forcibly activates it, some bad things will happen."

Lynn stared with dead-fish eyes and said, "In other words, only this special idiot, me, can control this seal. The average idiot can't control it, right?"

Hei Xianyue thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes."

"..."
