"cough" "cough"
hearing the cough everyone turned his head towards it to see a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and giving us a creepy smile
"oh my, so many people want to use my service, I'm so happy", he puts his hand on his heart giving an amorous feeling but also dark
the six people in the room swallowed their imaginary saliva from fright
"I can't do you wrong, you all go in ",
Goosebumps hit my body to the extreme, he speaks passionate words nothing is strange but the way he says every word is so creepy, did he memorize his lines or what ?! why does it sound so psychotically professional.
as sketchy as the day is, no one had the guts to refute or question or even make a sound, we just walked slowly to the hell room, right after we were about to go in Luo Ming whispers to me
"make sure to shout out the decease that one of the four doctors specialize in, only do so if you're in danger"
this was just speculation we thought about before after you get sick you call a doctor, even if it works we do not know if the other doctors are unthreatening.
we step inside the darkroom, a few seconds later a flashlight hits us from above just like those in the circus.
the lights then switch away from us to brighten the middle-aged dentist with all his tools dripping blood. the next second the light turns off then shows again, this time it lightened the whole room, we were in the middle surrounded by six dentists' chairs.
"help yourself ", says the dentist without turning toward obviously preparing his tools to chop us, the dentist hears that no one moved do he turns his head slightly enough to see his profile and vicious eyes, "I do believe that you would not like me to help you sit"
another imaginary saliva was swallowed even so no one dared to sit, I budge Luo Ming's shoulder, gave her a look asking if we should act now, getting the signal I start sneakily releasing the imaginary cord strings from my shrank harp, I put two folded talisman between my finger in both hands, I also his one in my mouth, because of my fear of death I take precaution making in consideration many possibilities, after all, I'm not a lucky person well at least that what I was in my past life.
after making sure everything is in place we both sit obediently in the chair, as expected we got restrained right away by straps, belts, and cuffs restricting any simple movement.
"i-i I'm leaving I can't do this ...", the young man mentality was fragile so he could not handle the pressure and started mumbling and retreating searching for the door to escape, realistically speaking no one can handle it especially me if it weren't for all the precautions I have, forget about being killed I'll drop dead before he touches me.
the dentist stopped moving his hands, "oh my oh my we got a bad boy" the dentist's head turns 360° degrees, the smirk shows white teeth but the head was swarming with visible green veins throbbing clearly angry.
a knife flew from his hand directly slicing the left leg of the young man, the scream deafens the room, "AHHHH"
looking at the man holding his leg and trying to stop the gushing blood looked so miserable but also woke everyone about the situation, the other three had no choice but to lay down, of course, each put their weapon next to their hand or hidden inside their sleeve.
the dentist walks towards us then settles in the middle of the chairs, Luo Ming gives the signal and I move my strings to action, as expected my strings failed to cut through his flesh which tills now confused me, I'm more than confident on the strength of my strings after all my weapon if ranked it'll be saint, and it's more suspicious that I can't cut through all the creatures here, now that doesn't make sense!!
unrelated unnecessary conclusion aside, i restrained the dentist at last I had used almost all my harp capacity strings to take him down
"Everyone, there's not much time left, look for the exit and clues, hurry!!!", I cried to inform everyone.
"YOUU!!!!", the dentist just yelled but the string between his mouth dug deeper so he did not dare move his mouth, Erha did not know but he touched the dentist's weakness which is "his teeth ' now this little thing had unknowingly bought more time to others.
everyone searched every nook and cranny only Luo Ming found something, a post that says
"ghost town news, investigation shows that many nobles had their favorite dolls spiritual tooth removed from them and stolen by a shapeshifter middle-class ghost, the police found a mouth mirror in the scene last night .
be sure to contact us if you catch the criminal "
"mouth mirror, teeth, let me guess the criminal is him", I turn my eyes around before I point at the dentist.
"well they said if we caught him we need to call them, how do we call?", Luo Ming shrugs
" the nurse outside had a phone on the table!!", the man says
we all say at the same time then disperse to search"find the door!!!"
i passed by the dentist and the way he didn't struggle much caught my attention; especially his head, it wasn't moving an inch and the way he sweats and looks scared was questionable, surely I did not consider the possibility of a well-behaved ghost.
"Luo Ming!! come see this!!", I call her
"the dentist ghost seems scared !!!" , I murmur close to her ear
she glances at the standing still dentist because Erha's strings are invisible, he just looked like a man standing still with his mouth open
"huh? Is mouth open? Erha can you take away the invisible mode from your strings"
I nod
