169: Chapter 169 Eugene and Kevin
"Why are this kid's items… all so powerful?"
The shock in Forbidden Young Master's eyes had now successfully transformed into fear.
They had cleared so many dungeons, yet on average, they could only obtain one or two items per dungeon, and they were almost always useless things.
Things like bricks or stones; only when receiving the final clearance rewards would they get some useful swords or shields.
However… every item that kid Chen Mo took out seemed to be of a conceptual level.
What was even more terrifying was that this kid could actually develop the use of items to such a horrifying extent.
A steel wire item could be played by him in ways that rivaled an S-rank item.
Scary, he really was a scary man; it was even more important to become friends with him.
Lu Chengfeng and the others felt the same way.
"There are 5 minutes left. My steel wire can hold for about 4 minutes. Everyone… go back to the Dormitory now." Chen Mo issued the command.
Hearing this, the group felt overjoyed.
Like little birds escaping a cage and being reborn, they all ran happily toward the direction of the Dormitory.
Only Chen Mo didn't leave; he felt that this Mother Ghost in front of him must be hiding something good on her.
"Chen Mo, hurry up and leave, she's going to go crazy again in a moment."
Chen Mo shook his head, opened his five fingers, and a necklace hanging with a black gemstone dangled from them.
He said, "This necklace is only effective if used exactly on the hour. You guys go first; I'll deal with this thing."
"But…" Su Qing wore a worried expression.
"Even if you successfully kill her, isn't there a more powerful ghost afterwards? How will you run when you encounter the next ghost?"
Chen Mo walked over, patted Su Qing's shoulder, and smiled, "Don't worry, I have a method. I can definitely survive."
"Let's go. That kid Chen Mo likes to calculate probabilities; he wouldn't do something he wasn't sure about."
Jiang Xinyi, standing to the side with her arms crossed, looked at Su Qing with a slight upturn of her lips.
At this moment, Su Qing looked at Jiang Xinyi, recalling the scene earlier where she had taken the initiative to hold Chen Mo's hand, and felt very angry.
She had originally had a bit of a good impression of Jiang Xinyi, but at this moment, she felt as if something of her own had been stolen by someone else.
"I'll stay and help you." Jiang Xinyi walked to Chen Mo's side.
Hearing this, Su Qing also wanted to stay.
Seeing her expression with puffed-up cheeks, Chen Mo was full of confusion.
"Little Su, listen to me and go back to the Dormitory. This isn't something you can participate in."
"The President can stay and provide support for me."
Hearing Chen Mo say this, Su Qing had no choice but to nod and agree to go back.
However, when leaving, she deliberately stomped on the floor, looking very angry.
Chen Mo touched his chin. Could it be… Little Su's condition had worsened?
Her possessiveness over things or people had escalated further; if this continued, it would easily develop into yandere tendencies.
Watching the backs of everyone running away quickly, Chen Mo turned around.
He looked at the President seriously and stated his true purpose for keeping her behind.
"President, what extra information did you obtain tonight?"
Jiang Xinyi shook her head, crossed her arms, and said, "Not yet. It won't refresh until the morning."
"Alright then. Once you get the extra information, tell me first thing."
Then, Chen Mo pointed down at the Mother Ghost, who was still struggling and twitching, and asked.
"President, do you think there are any clues on her?"
"The head. The previous clues about the wax figures were all hidden in the mouth. This guy's head is as big as a table, so it must be in there too."
Chen Mo nodded, feeling that Jiang Xinyi was right.
Afterwards, he stepped back a few paces, took a running start, and instantly vaulted over the second-floor corridor, jumping out.
The sudden move left Jiang Xinyi stunned.
Chen Mo adjusted his body balance in mid-air and successfully jumped onto the Mother Ghost's head.
The Mother Ghost below looked up with both eyes and said angrily, "Kid, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to perform a craniotomy on you."
Chen Mo waved his hand, a blue light appeared, and a white medical kit was grasped in his hand.
He opened the lid of the kit and pulled out a chainsaw over a meter long.
Fortunately, there were no item usage restrictions in this dungeon; all items could be used.
Chen Mo pulled the chain a few times, and with a "buzzing" sound, the chainsaw gears started turning, and he cut down toward the Mother Ghost's skull.
Very quickly, a gash was cut into that wax head.
Jiang Xinyi, standing in the distance, couldn't help but cover her mouth, her other hand gripping the railing in front of her.
The Mother Ghost's head was like the head of a pitcher plant, torn open from the middle.
"Damn! This kid Chen Mo is too ruthless."
Chen Mo jumped directly into the Mother Ghost's head. Sure enough, there wasn't any giant brain or various blood vessels inside.
Instead, it was completely hollow; there was nothing there.
The feeling under his feet was like solid wax ground.
The Mother Ghost's lips instantly curled up, and she laughed out loud.
"Kid, don't walk around inside my head, it's very itchy!"
Chen Mo took out a blue-light flashlight from the medical kit and searched along the ground, quickly discovering a place inside the brain that resembled a secret door.
He waved his hand, the bone-scraping knife held in his palm, transforming into the Dean's Axe, and he tapped it lightly against that secret door.
With a "creak," that brain-colored secret door instantly flipped open on its own.
Chen Mo reached in and grabbed a small slip of paper.
Unfolding it to look, the content written on it was the latter half of the story about that pair of siblings.
[Lucifer and I can't take it anymore. The two of us are siblings, absolutely not a married couple, yet we have two children]
[Eugene and Kevin are now 6 years old. Our life is still poor. Watching the two children being sent onto the stage and locked in glass cabinets to be admired as exhibits, I'm really going to break down.]
[They are a pair of conjoined brothers. Born into this world, they were born as freaks in the eyes of ordinary people.]
[Transcending the secular world to pursue freedom is too difficult for an ordinary person. Even just walking on the road with a scar on your face will attract many people's gazes.]
[Let alone a pair of conjoined, deformed children taking a walk on the road.]
[Those gazes are filled with curiosity and terror. I can imagine how the two children feel inside. Even so, I am still their mother; I am Mom.]
[God is truly unfair to me. Fate is like it has been pre-arranged; it's impossible to resist, and I can only silently endure it.]
[Lucifer is just a cowardly brother. I could tell from when we were young. Facing this kind of life, facing the scandals of incest between siblings every day, he only dares to hide in the darkness to drink and smoke. Apart from that, he can't do anything.]
[I've decided to leave him and live with the children alone.]
[These years in the Circus, relying on manual labor and the income from displaying the two deformed children, we have saved enough money.]
[Although it's very risky, we have decided to try.]
[I want them to have that surgery—a separation surgery—to split the two brothers apart from the middle.]
[Doctors of that era didn't know how to administer anesthesia. I know it will be very painful, and even if they die from the treatment, it will just be treated as a common medical accident.]
[But I still have to do it!]
[Just when I was seeking medical help without success, a man wearing a white lab coat appeared. He handed me a letter, saying he could give me what I wanted.]
