Chapter 338: Treatment

"...Yes, I was taking a nap at the time."

"You know, the weather has been very warm lately, and I was a bit tired. I was sleeping soundly, and then I heard a 'bang'!"

"Have you ever seen the fireworks set off during the New Year? At that time, his whole body exploded, and red blood and flesh sprayed all over the ground like fireworks, and I... I was sitting opposite him."

Heart of Red 9 stood in front of the police officer, covered in blood, and said seriously,

"Can you understand if I put it this way, Officer?"

Seven or eight police officers surrounded Heart of Red 9. They were dressed in black clothes and trousers, with brown gun holsters tied to their bodies and police batons tied to their waists, looking at him with unkind expressions.

I don't know how long it took, the leading officer spoke with a subtle expression,

"Are you saying... a person, sitting opposite you, suddenly exploded for no reason?"

"Yes."

"Then how do you explain the boning knife in your hand?"

"We have a doctor with us, and he said he needed to perform surgery, so he asked me to help him get a handy knife as soon as possible... so I came."

"Oh~ so, you rushed into the grocery store in the middle of the night covered in blood, holding a boning knife to rob the owner and his twelve-year-old daughter, just to treat your companion who exploded?"

"No, I didn't rob them, I was just talking to them..."

"What were you saying at the time?"

"I said I didn't bring any money, but I wanted to buy something."

“……”

"Officer, believe me, I am really innocent," Heart of Red 9, covered in blood, stood under the pale light with a boning knife in his right hand and said seriously.

"Then the ham sausage and pepper-salt melon seeds in your hand are also used for treatment?"

"Oh, no, they aren't," Heart of Red 9 answered calmly, "I was just craving them."

The officer stared at him for a long time and waved his hand at the people behind him,

"Cuff him and take him away."

Seven or eight police officers swarmed up!

Thirty seconds later,

Heart of Red 9, covered in blood, walked slowly out of the grocery store with a brand-new boning knife in one hand and sausages and melon seeds in the other.

He looked back at the several police officers lying in a sprawl and sighed,

"I told them I was a good citizen, why didn't anyone believe me..."

"Boss, put it on my tab, bye."

He swaggered toward the street on the other side.

Pedestrians occasionally saw him on the road and were scared pale by his image, exclaiming and turning around to run away. Heart of Red 9 seemed to be used to this. After walking for four or five minutes, he arrived at the entrance of a simple hotel and pushed the door open.

The location of this hotel could be considered to be on the edge of the small town. The storefront was dilapidated, and there were almost no guests... there wasn't even anyone at the front desk.

After Heart of Red 9 entered, he whistled and tapped the front desk with one hand.

"Boss, good afternoon."

Under the counter, a middle-aged man tied up like a zongzi widened his eyes, shrinking desperately into the corner, his mouth taped shut, only able to make wailing sounds.

Drip, drip—

Drops of blood dripped from the ceiling above, landing just in front of the boss, staining into a pool of blood, reflecting his pale and terrified face.

If someone pushed the door in at this moment, they would find that the ceiling on the first floor was dark red...

The second floor was leaking blood!

Heart of Red 9 went straight upstairs to the first guest room. The door wasn't closed tightly, so he pushed it open and walked in.

The floor of the room was soaked in blood, and the white sheets in the center were already scarlet. A mud-like figure lay on it, unconscious, already disemboweled.

Beside the bed, a figure in a shirt and vest was sitting there, holding a dinner knife in one hand and pressing on a piece of flesh of the bloody figure with the other. Silver-rimmed glasses clearly reflected the scarlet on the bed, his movements as elegant as cutting a medium-rare steak in a western restaurant.

"Why are you so slow?" Chu Muyun looked up at him.

"In this small town, how could it be so easy to buy a suitable knife... so I ran to a few more shops?" Heart of Red 9 said while silently hiding the ham sausage and pepper-salt melon seeds behind his back.

"Where's the knife? Let me see, this dinner knife is too dull, it's not easy to operate."

"Here, is this one okay?"

"A boning knife... forget it, it'll barely do."

Chu Muyun took the boning knife, took off his vest for the time being, and stood on the surface of the pile of meat on the bed, seemingly measuring something with the boning knife.

Heart of Red 9 watched the fun while eating melon seeds,

"It's like this, can it be saved?"

"If it were an ordinary person, they should be at the burial stage by now." Chu Muyun aimed for a long time, then suddenly thrust the boning knife in his hand into a certain part of the flesh and pulled hard. The flesh trembled constantly, as if it were shivering in pain,

"However, this kid has recovery power not inferior to Spade 6. Even if his organs are gone, they can regenerate, so it's not a big problem."

"Oh." Heart of Red 9 spat out a melon seed shell.

"What about the others?"

"Basically, they all took the Boundary Train and left. Plum 8 went to the main city, as for that one... he's still waiting next door."

"Why didn't you leave?"

"Didn't you ask me to stay and help you?"

"I don't need it now. If you want to leave, you can go first."

"I'm not in a hurry," Heart of Red 9 ate melon seeds with relish, "I don't have any urgent tasks. Staying here to watch you dismember a corpse is actually quite stress-relieving..."

Chu Muyun: ...

Chu Muyun busied himself with the boning knife for the whole afternoon, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then walked out of the room.

He looked at Heart of Red 9, who was still covered in blood and squatting by the wall playing with melon seed shells, and couldn't help but ask:

"It's been an afternoon, why haven't you taken a bath yet?"

"Why? Isn't it cool to bathe in blood?" Heart of Red 9, covered in scarlet, smiled, "I think it smells quite good."

"...Madman."

Chu Muyun turned and walked into the bathroom across the hall. Unlike Heart of Red 9, if he got blood on his body, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't wash it off.

The sound of rushing water echoed in the dead-silent hotel. Heart of Red 9, covered in blood, yawned and continued to count melon seed shells with his head down. I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to notice something and looked up at the blood-filled bed.

There, a bloody figure moved its fingers slightly.

"This recovery ability... is indeed monstrous," Heart of Red 9 stood up slowly, patted the melon seed shells off his body, and walked to his side,

"You're awake? The surgery was very successful, you're already a girl!"

The figure on the bed shook violently.

"Oh, just kidding, it's just a dismemberment..." Heart of Red 9 chuckled.

The figure on the bed opened his lips slightly, as if saying something.

"What did you say?" Heart of Red 9 leaned in front of him.

"I... want to see... the Red King."
