It took Xu ming an hour to meticulously scrubbed and sanitized every inch of the room to rid it of any lingering traces of dirt and grime. After he finished cleaning, he heared muffled sounds of voices outside the door, growing louder and more panicked with each passing minute. In a poorly illuminated area of the factory, a group of five bullies were tightly bound to a pole, with flickering flashes of light being their sole source of illumination. The darkness around them added an ominous atmosphere.

"Where are we?" one of them questioned, his voice trembling with fear.

"What was that thing we saw before?" another cried out.

“HELP”

“HELP”

“HELP”

The bullies' frenzied conversation escalated, escalating until one of them screamed out for help, followed by similar cries. Their desperate pleas were abruptly silenced by a menacing voice that seemed to resonate from the obscurity.

"Silence, you wretches," the voice spat.

As the bullies gazed in terror towards the direction from where the voice came, a person materialized out of the darkness, cloaked in black grim reaper cloak which concealed every trace of flesh. Only two sinister red beads, glowing like embers in the darkness, in the place of eyes marking the figure's face.

"Ghost!" one of the bullies gasped, his voice barely above a whisper.

The bullies' desperate pleas for mercy revealed to them that Xu Ming had more nefarious plans than what they had initially assumed. Although they had initially assumed that Xu Ming sought revenge for their past transgressions, the bullies quickly realized that there was a more sinister agenda at work. Left to face their fears and the horrifying outcomes of their actions, the bullies found themselves stranded and alone.

"My parents would definitely find that something is amiss and will definitely come to find me," he said, trying to calm himself and the others.

Another bully chimed in, "Yes, mine too. They'll come for us."

Xu ming remained silent, disappearing into the darkness before returning five minutes later with a large, dirty white cloth. He tore it into five pieces and used them to gag the bullies, not wanting to hear their bickering voices any longer.

Although Xu Ming was not particularly concerned about anyone stumbling upon the factory and overhearing the bullies' pleas for help, he recognized the importance of taking precautions.

With the fate of his operation resting on the freshness and quality of the organs he planned to extract, Xu Ming knew that killing the bullies on the spot would be too risky. If he acted hastily and the equipment he needed arrived late or if there was any delay or mishap, all of his efforts would go to waste.

Thus, he made the difficult decision to spare their lives for the time being and wait until the equipment arrived to ensure the organs were undamaged and fresh. Despite the immense satisfaction he would have derived from killing them on the spot.

Xu Ming left the factory and stationed himself near the entrance, patiently awaiting the arrival of his crucial equipment. It took five long hours, but eventually, he heard a faint "thud" emanating from outside, indicating that the equipment had been delivered. He made no move to investigate, choosing instead to remain hidden in the shadows, as he had instructed the site to leave the items outside to prevent any potential exposure of his identity.

For Xu Ming, remaining in the shadows and manipulating events from behind the scenes was the ultimate objective, and he had no intention of revealing himself unnecessarily. The only reason he engaged in such nefarious activities was to earn dark points, a necessary component of his overarching plan.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Xu Ming exercised great caution as he waited for an hour before venturing out to retrieve the much-needed equipment. He remained vigilant, carefully surveying the surroundings for any signs of surveillance before proceeding.

The factory's isolated location made it easy for him to confirm that there were no prying eyes around. Then he looked at the equipment with confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he began the arduous task of transporting the equipment inside the factory.

Although the narrow window made it a challenging feat, he persevered and eventually managed to maneuver the equipment inside. Xu Ming then began to meticulously set up the operating room, placing each piece of equipment with utmost care.

A square container filled with 50 liters of Hydrofluoric acid sat in one corner, covered to prevent any mishaps. He then arranged a stretcher in the center of the room, with a surgical table on its right side holding the necessary surgical equipment, and a large table with various surgical machines to its left.

Finally, he positioned a refrigerator in another corner of the room, ensuring its silent operation by connecting it to a generator, concealed by large boxes and plastic.

Xu Ming had acquired the knowledge of surgery from an organization that specialized in the sale of organs to hospitals and clinics at reduced prices, most likely a black-market organization. This was where Xu Ming had begun his journey of crime, but the reasons behind it would have to wait for another time.

Through this organization, Xu Ming had learned how to perform surgeries such as removing kidneys and livers, allowing him to do them on his own. However, performing these surgeries alone was time-consuming and challenging, but Xu Ming was determined and skilled enough to make it happen.

Xu Ming proceeded to render the bully’s unconscious with an injection, before taking one of them and securing him to a stretcher with tight ropes. With great care and difficulty, he began to meticulously disassemble the body, following the precise protocols of a skilled surgeon.

It took an exhausting ten hours, but Xu Ming finally succeeded in extracting the vital organs he needed, including the heart, kidneys, and liver. His ambition to extract the bone marrow proved too daunting as he doesn’t know how to, and he was forced to abandon the idea.

As he removed the heart, a cold and eerie feminine voice resounded in his mind, announcing the reward for his heinous deed: 2000 Dark Points. Xu Ming felt a sense of satisfaction as he heard the reward.

[Ding! Host has performed a heinous act by taking a life, resulting in the accumulation of 2000 Dark Points."

[Ding! Host has now surpassed the 1000 Dark Points threshold, unlocking the Shop feature.]

The voice also notified him that he had unlocked the Shop feature, as he had now accumulated over 1000 Dark Points.

Xu Ming's attention was solely focused on his work and didn’t pay it anymore attention and continued his plan. After placing the organs in the specialized container, he carefully stored it in the fridge. Although he desired to extract more organs, he lacked the necessary expertise beyond the heart, liver, and kidney.

Regretfully, he had to abandon his hopes of obtaining the eyes, testicles, and other organs. With a detached expression, Xu Ming examined the lifeless body before him.

Although the person's face showed a calm expression, the sight of his spilled intestines was gruesome enough to send chills down anyone's spine. With any emotion, Xu Ming disposed the body into the container of hydrofluoric acid, where it would dissolve completely.

Xu Ming pushed himself to his limits, performing two operations in one day and leaving himself utterly exhausted by the time it was 3am. Before resting on an uncomfortable chair, he made sure to inject the bullies with the necessary medicine to keep them unconscious.

After sleeping for six hours, Xu Ming may have felt a little better, but his body was still weak. Despite this, he persisted, performing three operations in a day and nearly collapsing from the physical strain. Even though he took an hour break, the surgeries still took a toll on his body.

Once the surgeries were done, Xu Ming carefully disposed of all traces of his actions. He had placed the organs in the fridge and dissolved the bodies of the bullies. The clothes he used to gag them, the chains he used to tie them up, the scissors, and other equipment he had used during the surgeries were all thrown into the hydrofluoric acid, leaving no trace of the operation or the bullies.

In the dead of night at 2 am, Xu Ming weighed the risks of walking home with an exhausted body and ultimately decided to run instead. Despite the physical toll it took on him, he seamlessly blended into the dark streets, as if there was no one running. For a solid half hour, he pushed himself until he finally reached the safety of his home.

Xu Ming arrived at his home utterly exhausted and opted to enter through the window. Once inside, he removed his Grim Reaper cloak and stored it away in his inventory. Without any further thought, he made his way in to his bedroom and collapsed onto his bed, falling into a deep, restful sleep.
