Hearing this, Shiki could only let out a bewildered, "Huh?"—unsure if he should even voice it.
’So you’re telling ... you knew the patient would try to escape?’
But after a mont’s thought, Shiki let it go.
’Alright.’
’Guess I’m just ignorant.’
With this kind of treatnt, having so precautions doesn’t seem unreasonable.
Still, he couldn’t help but think:
People who play with poison have the dirtiest hearts!
The others also sucked in a sharp breath upon hearing Vir’s words.
This guy...
He’s just too wicked, isn’t he?
Once you’re in his hands, there’s practically no chance of escaping as a patient.
This incident made one thing crystal clear to everyone: the mont you find out your doctor is Vir, you might as well give up on treatnt altogether. (Might as well off yourself.)
But that’s only if you even get the chance to do so...
If you fail to die properly, the "treatnt" might just beco even more unbearable.
As for Jina, well—no need to elaborate.
Her legs gave out, and she nearly collapsed right then and there.
Vir’s thods had truly terrified her.
This guy...
He actually had the skills...
She had... misunderstood him before.
What a monster.
With dical and poison skills like that...
She’d probably never even co close to matching him in her lifeti.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, a strong hand caught her.
No.
Not caught—embraced.
Marco pulled her into his arms.
She rested her head quietly against his chest, her eyes blankly fixed on Vir ahead.
And Marco?
Red Pineapple Head!!!
Vir, anwhile, was holding a board.
A putty board.
He scooped so of the atty putty from the bucket onto the board.
Then, his gaze shifted to Golden Lion.
Shiki, seeing the faint squirming movents on the putty board, wore a bitter expression.
’Mother of—’
’This is gonna kill , isn’t it?’
Without wasting a second, Vir slid the putty knife across the board.
A glob of the stuff landed neatly on the blade.
But just as he was about to apply it to the severed leg—
He noticed Shiki’s pants were in the way.
With a sigh, Vir set everything down.
Then, he grabbed the right pant leg.
But with all the blood, rolling it up wasn’t an option.
Might as well just tear it.
Gripping the fabric firmly, Vir yanked.
*RIIIP!*
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned 320,000 negative points!]
The mont he tore it, Vir received a reward.
320,000 points...
Damn.
But honestly, he couldn’t bla Shiki for being fragile.
Vir had slightly overdone it with the tear.
The entire upper thigh was now exposed.
And there, in all its glory—
A bright red, traditional Japanese fundoshi loincloth, the kind sumo wrestlers wore.
The color was a vibrant crimson.
Exactly like Rayleigh’s.
Thanks to this spectacular reveal, Golden Lion contributed a massive sum of points on the spot.
But Vir was just baffled.
He hadn’t ant to do that.
Who would’ve thought this guy’s underwear—er, pants—were made of such cheap fabric?
One tug, and it all ripped open.
What kind of pants even are these?
Designed for easy removal?
And why do all these old n love red underwear anyway...?
That was another thing Vir couldn’t wrap his head around.
As for the others, they were equally awkward at the sight of the bizarre red loincloth.
This guy... he’s pretty weird, huh?
Pretty damn weird.
Rayleigh’s face twitched strangely too.
He hadn’t expected to color-coordinate with this guy...
Shiki, anwhile, wished he could just vanish into the ground.
This was beyond humiliating...
It was supposed to be a treatnt!
Since when did that involve ripping his pants apart?!
This was way out of line!
Shiki was crushed.
Fortunately, Vir adjusted his strength for the other leg, sparing him further embarrassnt.
But did it even matter at this point?
One side exposed or both—there was no difference!
Yet before he could dwell on it, Vir splattered a glob of putty onto his leg!
The surface clearly had sothing squirming inside!
Shiki’s face twisted in horror.
But there was nothing he could do.
With a sickening splat, the putty sared across his stump.
The disgusting sensation was unbearable.
But he didn’t even have the strength to grit his teeth.
He couldn’t speak.
Couldn’t resist.
Vir worked with ruthless efficiency.
The mont the atty putty touched the wound, it fused with the flesh—
As if it had always been part of the leg.
With each new glob Vir applied, the substance rged seamlessly.
Before long, the rough shape of a leg had ford.
But Vir didn’t bother refining it yet.
He’d finish both legs first.
Let them sit for now.
And as he worked...
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned 480,000 negative points!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned 200,000 negative points!]
[Ding!...]
The system’s notifications rang out repeatedly.
But soon, they stopped.
And Shiki?
He no longer wore an expression of agony.
Instead, his face was filled with shock.
Because now...
He could feel his legs again.
Sure, he could feel the putty earlier.
But now—
He could actually control it!
What did that an?
This might actually work!
His eyes grew slightly moist.
A faint redness tinged the edges.
For the first ti in years...
He felt like crying.
Maybe it was because, after so long as a cripple—his strength diminished, his life hindered—he finally had a chance to reclaim what he’d lost.
Or maybe it was because Vir’s brutal treatnt was finally nearing its end.
Either way...
He was moved.
By the ti Vir finished shaping the rough forms of both legs, the bucket was nearly empty.
The last remnants were unceremoniously dumped onto Shiki’s right leg.
Hmm.
Might end up a bit thicker.
But no big deal.
Won’t be too noticeable.
Then, with a few masterful strokes of the putty knife—
The shapeless blobs were sculpted into sothing resembling legs.
Even muscle definition was etched in.
Shiki was stunned.
Because in just this short ti—
Nerves, blood vessels, even bones—
Everything was there.
This...
This was a miracle!
A genius... A true miracle doctor!
Sure, his thods were sadistic—
But his skills?
No one could compare!
These old legs, lost for so many years.
They’re really back!
Watching Vir ticulously refine the shape, Shiki felt a pang of guilt.
’He’s putting in so much effort to heal ...’
’And I...’
’I’m such a damn fool!’
