“Stop testing!” The man gritted his teeth, gripping his wine flask tightly with his other hand and growled, “Use these two knives. Get on with the surgery immediately! If you keep dragging it out, I’ll kill you on the spot!”
He revealed the gleaming revolver on his belt.
“But…”
“There’s no ‘but’! Move on to the next step now!” He slammed his fist on the table, his expression fierce.
“Alright…” Lynn helplessly adjusted his monocle.
Then, under the demon hunter’s watchful gaze, Lynn strode confidently through the curtain to the backyard. Just as the hunter was about to wonder what kind of trick Lynn was pulling, Lynnemerged carrying a fire furnace.
Sizzle—
He stirred the embers inside the furnace with a knife, then began inserting various tools from the counter into it.
【Hunter’s sanity -1】
“What are you doing?” The demon hunter couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
Lynn calmly picked up a knife glowing red from the heat and said, “Sterilization. The Black Butterfly is an extremely potent corrosive poison. To prevent the venom from spreading into other tissues during the procedure, the best method is to use high heat to kill it off. It might hurt a little, but the effect is excellent.”
He tapped the red-hot scalpel, sending a few sparks flying.
The demon hunter suddenly felt his throat dry up. For some reason, he shivered.
Although what Lynn said made sense — when he was injured before, he had also used high heat to cauterize the wound to prevent infection — but…
Why did he still feel like this guy wasn’t trustworthy?
“Have you ever actually done this before?” the demon hunter asked cautiously.
Lynn replied seriously, “Although I haven’t personally performed surgery, I’ve been with my master for two years, watching him operate!”
The demon hunter breathed a sigh of relief.
Lynn added, “Especially when slaughtering pigs. My master would use a red-hot knife to swipe, and the hair would come right off.”
The demon hunter blinked in confusion. “Pigs?!”
…
A few minutes later, Lynn took the two red-hot knives out of the furnace and calmly walked behind the demon hunter, saying firmly, “I’m starting now! It might hurt a bit, so bear with it.”
The demon hunter clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he closed his eyes, “I can bear it, but I want to ask, why the hell are there so many plates on the counter?”
“Cooking?!” He howled, pointing at the plates and the napkin Lynn had put around his neck. If someone knew what was going on, they'd think he was here for surgery, but anyone else would think he was here for a meal!

Lynn seriously explained, “Customer, you’re overthinking it. These plates are for the rotten flesh I’ll be cutting off soon. It’s to ensure the right amount of flesh-growing medicine is given to you according to how much tissue is removed.”
“Because if the dosage is wrong, it could lead to unnecessary tissue growth in your shoulder. I’m doing this for your benefit.”
The demon hunter gritted his teeth, clearly trying not to explode.
“Start cutting!!”
If it weren’t for the fact that there was only this one medical store for hundreds of miles around, he swore he would never set foot in this hellhole again. It felt like a black market clinic!
“Okay! I’m starting!” Lynn said seriously.
In an instant.
Swoosh—swoosh—
The sound of knives cutting through flesh echoed, followed by the sizzling noise of continuous cutting and cauterizing.
Yowww—
The demon hunter (ヾ????)—
It hurts!
It hurts like hell!
And not just the cutting pain, but the burning pain, even mixed with an odd sense of egg pain.
MLGB!
And it's a damn layered pain like the kind you'd get from rolled meat!

“If it’s too painful, I can still give you anesthesia!” Lynn kindly reminded.
At the same time, he wondered why his surgery skill wasn’t leveling up, but instead, his knife skill was.
“Get lost!”
The demon hunter roared.
“You think I’m in pain? I’m not in pain at all!”
The demon hunter was trembling, his grip on the counter tightening as his face went pale.
Lynn adjusted his monocle and, with his other hand, skillfully continued cutting and cauterizing, clearing his throat, “Could you let go of my counter? Your nails are digging into the edge, and this is a high-quality ancient wood. It’s very expensive.”
The demon hunter growled, “I’ll pay you double! What’s the big deal? Do you not want me to grab it? Keep cutting! Just cut me!”
Lynn, holding two knives seriously, replied, “I’ve been waiting for that. Alright, I’ll really go for it now!”
The demon hunter flinched.
“Wait a second!”
Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—
The demon hunter (ヾ????)—
“God! God! My god!”
He instantly (ΩДΩ) saw one piece after another of blackened, meat-scented rotten flesh flying neatly into the plates.
And based on the fluidity of the knife work, no matter if it was slicing or cutting meat, it was flawless. Even anyone watching would be unable to resist giving a thumbs up.
But…
“Are you performing surgery, or are you executing me?!!”
The demon hunter slammed his hands on the table and howled, his eyes wide, covered in a cold sweat.
“You should be a damn executioner! The slices are perfect!”
“Stop! Stop it!”
Seeing this, Lynn panicked.
He slapped the table in frustration, “Why do you have so many complaints? If I cut slower, you wouldn’t be happy, and if I cut faster, you wouldn’t be happy either. I offered you anesthesia, but you didn’t want it. How many demands do you have?!”
The demon hunter gritted his teeth and held onto the counter, “Can’t you just remove it all at once? Why do you have to slice it one piece at a time? Are you trying to make me leave faster?”
Lynn rebuked, “If I do it all at once, it’d be a one-hit job!!”
“….”
“….”
The demon hunter blinked. “What did you just say?”
Lynn glared at him. “I’m saying that when doing things, you have to be precise. Sure, a one-hit job is faster, but if you hit a major artery, I guarantee you’ll be leaving even faster than now!”
“I’m a doctor, a white angel! You have to trust me. I treat my patients like my own children. I would never let my child die from lack of treatment!”
The demon hunter’s lips trembled. Finally, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and screamed.
“Cut! Just cut! I swear I’ll never come back to this black clinic again!”
“Don’t worry. Once I finish the surgery, you’ll love my knife skills!” Lynn said, smiling.
Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—
Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—

…
Several minutes later, the demon hunter lay on the counter like a dead pig, muttering incoherently and frothing at the mouth. His eyes rolled back, and his body twitched. He had clearly passed out.
Gurgle—gurgle—
It felt like he was dreaming.
An evil demon was behind him, holding two sharp knives, grinning wildly, and slicing him piece by piece.
And then, it carefully arranged his meat in front of him for him to “taste.”
“Alright!”
“The initial cleaning is complete.”
Lynn picked up the bottle of strong liquor on the table and mixed a little with medical alcohol. He swished it in his mouth, then, with a loud spray, he sprayed it directly onto the demon hunter’s shoulder wound.
“Ahhh—”
A terrible, sour scream filled the air.
