Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 609: I’ve Seen It at My Mother’s Estate

But she wasn’t sure.

Because that had been a very long time ago. It was just that there was a sense of familiarity—the woman in the photo, smiling gently while seated in a chair.

She walked over to Miaomiao’s side, bent down, and picked up the photo from the floor.

Although they were completely different.

That faint, nagging familiarity was impossible to ignore.

Meanwhile, not far away, Lynn’s interrogation continued.

“I don’t know! I wasn’t involved in what happened after that! Everything was coordinated and dispatched by Doctor Daybreak, and the trail went cold quickly. The Dark World is vast—we had no reason to waste resources on a creature that had lost all value!”

Raines’ agonized voice echoed throughout the room.

Gripping his collar tightly, Lynn said darkly, “What about the others? Her husband, her child—after their wills shattered, what did you do to them?”

In Miaomiao’s memories, she had watched as the bodies of her father and brother were dragged toward the incinerator. But whether they had actually been burned remained unknown.Because not long after that incident, her mother, amidst a mental upheaval, had destroyed the entire underground base.

Even though it probably hadn’t ended well.

He still wanted to find a shred of hope for Miaomiao.

Even if it was just a corpse.

“Talk!”

Lynn’s gaze turned as sharp as a blade.

Enduring immense pain, Raines said, “After that base was destroyed, we did transfer some important data and bio-armaments, but I don’t know exactly what was transferred! And before they had even awakened and manifested their reality-warping abilities, their wills were already shattered. For failed specimens, even if they weren’t incinerated, the best outcome was to be turned into puppets!”

“If you really want to investigate, you can go to the Puppet Factory. There’s a list of all the puppets we’ve modified over the years. I truly don’t know anything else!”

Lynn stared coldly at his pained expression.

He knew.

There was probably nothing else of value he could squeeze out of this man.

To truly reconstruct the full story of that incident, he would have to start with that doctor, codenamed 315.

He was the real mastermind behind all of this, the true culprit who had planned and orchestrated this entire series of experiments!

Lynn took a deep breath.

He turned his head and looked at Miaomiao, who was slumped there, dazed and hollow.

Because too much time had passed. Finding Miaomiao’s mother in the vast Dark World, after centuries had gone by, was truly like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But as long as the real culprit was still alive.

Anything was possible.

Raines trembled, “I’ve said everything I had to say. I was just his assistant; the one who truly coordinated—”

*Shiiiing!*

With a swing of his hand, Lynn’s Night Demon Blade instantly severed Raines’ head, erasing his consciousness completely.

Since nothing more could be learned, there was no point in Lynn wasting any more time here.

As the body hit the ground heavily.

Lynn turned and walked to Miaomiao’s side. He crouched down and wiped the tears from her face with his hand, saying, “Miaomiao, don’t worry. Now that we’re here, I, your master, will make sure he pays. He’s dead for sure. And your mother might not have actually died—maybe she just had no way to find you. Trust me, I will help you find your family. I swear it.”

Looking into Lynn’s resolute eyes, Miaomiao finally lowered her head. She reached out forcefully and wiped the tears from her own eyes, struggling to suppress the surging pain in her heart.

“I’m sorry, master...”

Miaomiao has caused you trouble.

She knew Lynn was just comforting her.

Because even if her mother was still alive, finding her in this vast, boundless Dark World was almost impossible.

But she didn’t let herself fall apart.

Because she knew that no matter how desperate she felt, it wouldn’t help the outcome. She had grown up long ago—she was no longer the silly cat who only knew how to cry back then.

But...

As long as she could take revenge...

As long as she could kill that demon, she would do anything...

Head bowed, she clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Lynn looked at Miaomiao with a complicated expression. He didn’t know how to comfort her, because the pain she had endured was something ordinary people could never understand.

And for now, all he could do.

Was to speed up the mission and bring that Plague Doctor to justice.

“We can try our luck at the Puppet Factory first. If they still have the puppets of your father and brother... at least we can bring back their bodies.”

Lynn picked Miaomiao up and turned his gaze toward the door.

And for now.

The only option was to leave this dark room and take further action.

He was just about to head toward the door, but after taking only a few steps, he immediately noticed that Miss Puppet was still standing in the same spot, holding the photo, unmoving, not following.

Lynn was startled. He turned to look at Hei Xianyue and said, “Miss Puppet, what’s wrong?”

But he received no reply from Hei Xianyue.

She just stood there quietly, holding the yellowed photo in her hands, as if examining it, or trying to pull some key clue from her memory.

And finally, she raised her head, looked at Lynn and Miaomiao in the distance, and finally spoke:

“I’ve seen this photo before.”

Instantly.

Both Lynn and Miaomiao were frozen in place. Their minds went completely blank in that moment.

Miaomiao, in particular, had eyes that began to tremble violently, her gaze flickering as she stared at Hei Xianyue.

“What did you say?”

Lynn’s shock was almost beyond words.

Looking down at the photo in her hand, Hei Xianyue said, “I did see it before, a long time ago. At our Doll Manor. When I was helping my mother tidy her room, I saw a photo like this in her bedroom. I didn’t think much of it back then, but when I saw this photo just now, I suddenly remembered it felt familiar.”

In that instant.

Miaomiao’s mind roared with a deafening buzz, and her face turned deathly pale.

Lynn’s breathing also quickened immediately. He rushed over to Hei Xianyue and grabbed her shoulders, saying, “Are you talking about Madam?! How is that possible? How could she...”

But before he could finish his sentence, a sudden flash of insight struck him like a thunderbolt, and the fragmented clues came together.

Puppet.

Mental Warping.

Cursed Arts!

In that moment, Lynn’s mind exploded with a thunderous roar, filling him with utter horror.

Yes! That’s it!

In an instant, all the scattered pieces of the puzzle clicked together. Because just now, Raines had said that they had transplanted a puppet’s curse onto Miaomiao’s mother. Their initial goal was to turn her into a controllable puppet!
