Lynn remained calm and said, “If that’s the case, my initial guess is that you ate something wrong. You probably ate your doll’s arm.”
The girl’s smile immediately froze.
But the doll’s laughter continued, ringing out: “Mommy loves the doll! The doll loves Mommy! Hehehehe!”
Lynn looked up, his expression deadpan, and asked, “Have you been feeling any discomfort in your stomach lately?”
The girl stiffened and answered, “My stomach’s been gurgling, like something’s scratching inside.”
Lynn nodded and made a note on his pad, casually saying, “That seems about right. Looks like it hasn’t been digested yet. Do you want to do surgery, or would you prefer physical therapy?”
The girl stiffened further, “How... how does that work...?”
Clang—
Lynn slammed the blood-soaked bone-saw knife onto the counter.
“Cut open your belly, take your doll’s arm out, and I’ll stitch you up after.”
Instantly, the doll’s laughter ceased.
A chill ran down the girl’s spine from the tips of her feet to the top of her head.
“What about physical therapy?”
Lynn stood up, removed his gloves and mask from the counter, and calmly stared at her. “This one’s easy. No need for surgery. You can choose whether I go in from the top or the bottom. I can help you with either, and it’s cheaper.”
Girl: “!!!”
Doll: “!!!”
[Sanity decreased by 20 points]
The girl blankly replied, “Top... top, I guess...”
“Good,” Lynn moved the items aside, stretched his wrist, and said, “You’re small, so no need to go to the operating room. You can sit here and I’ll help you, but you’ll have to bear with it. Don’t bite off my arm.”
Under the girl’s terrified gaze, Lynn’s large shadow loomed over her, wearing his mask and gloves, his eyes calm and steady.
The girl sat on the small stool, immediately clutching her doll.
“Can’t you not look?”
Lynn replied coolly, “No. My teacher said, once you enter this shop, you have to get treated, or there will be consequences.”
The girl trembled, finally giving in. “Fine...”
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
She opened her mouth wide.
“Wider!”
Slit—
The girl stretched her mouth all the way back to her neck, opening it into a huge gaping maw.
A foul odor immediately hit Lynn’s nose.
Lynn remained unfazed, taking a stand and securing her mouth with a brace to prevent any shock reactions.
Then he loosened his shoulders and pushed his arm into her mouth.
It slid in easily—deep throat!
The girl’s eyes immediately widened.
“Mmm—mhm—”
“Don’t move,” Lynn said sternly, calmly exploring inside her stomach. “It’ll be over soon. If you don’t want your doll to stay incomplete, stay still.”
[You have obtained 50 Hair strands]
[You have obtained 2 Unidentified Body Fragments]
[You have obtained 5 Rotten Flesh]
[You have obtained 1 Comb]
The girl’s eyes widened in horror as she continuously made fearful noises.
“I’ve found it!”
Lynn’s hand brushed against something still wriggling and alive.
[You have obtained a Wriggling Arm]
Slit—
It was the arm of the doll that she had eaten.
Lynn calmly washed the arm and placed it on the counter.
“This should be it. You must have been starving that night and unconsciously ate your doll’s arm. Your doll didn’t stop you because it saw how hungry you were.”
“Anyway, be more careful next time. Don’t eat anything weird. It’s hard to digest.”
The girl, still with her mouth held open by the brace, didn’t speak a word.
“Physical therapy is 10 Skull Coins, stitching is 30 Coins.”
Lynn, wearing his mask, calmly pulled out some string and a sharp needle that gleamed in the light.
“Do you want me to stitch it up now?”
The doll in the girl’s arms suddenly started crying, struggling to escape.
“Now—love—now—stitch—”
The girl, still held by the brace, blankly muttered.
Lynn put on his gloves and said coolly, “Alright, hold it down for me. I’ll start.”
The girl immediately looked at her struggling doll, forcing it down on the counter, her eyes reflecting the cold light from Lynn’s eyes, as the doll shrieked in fear.
“Here we go.”
Ssss—
Ssss—

[Beginner Surgery Experience +1]
An hour later, with the doll’s screaming filling the air, Lynn cut the thread with scissors.
“All done. Apply the medicine once a day, and within a week, the arm should be back to normal.”
Lynn found a greenish potion on the counter and opened it.
He poured it over the stitching, and the doll immediately screamed in terror.
The girl stared blankly, “Is it... done...?”
Lynn clapped his hands and said calmly, “Finished. You can pay now. Physical therapy is 10 Coins, stitching is 30 Coins, and the potion is 10 Coins per bottle. You’ve used 7 bottles, so that’s 110 Coins in total. Thank you for your business, and welcome to come again next time.”
The doll immediately jumped into the girl’s arms, trembling in fear, staring at Lynn as though he had left an unforgettable mental scar.
The girl blankly groped around her clothes.
After a long time.
She pulled out 20 Coins, trembling, and placed them on the counter.
“I... I only have 20...”
Lynn calmly said, “That’s fine, you’re still short 90 Coins. Which part of your body are you going to offer as collateral? I can help you cut it for free.”
Saying that, he picked up the bone-saw knife.
The girl instantly showed a horrified expression (ΩДΩ), and took a step back.
“Just 10 more Coins!”
The girl quickly pulled out 10 Coins from her clothes and placed them on the counter.
Lynn replied calmly, “You’re still short 80.”
The girl (ΩДΩ) placed the six remaining bottles of potion on the counter and said, “I’ll buy these potions next time.”
Lynn took the potions back and calmly replied, “Still 20 short.”
The girl trembled and asked, “Can I owe you?”
Lynn grabbed the knife and walked out. “This is a small business, no credit. I can’t make that decision. But it’s just 20 Coins. You can leave me one of your eyes, and I’ll give you the potions and find you 40 more Coins.”
The girl stepped back, clutching her doll to her chest, covering her eye, and trembling. “Can I pay with something else?”
Lynn calmly asked, “What do you propose? I’ll give it an appraisal.”
The girl swallowed nervously and said, “I’ll let you... you know... if you do that, I’ll clear all my debts.”
