Snap!
Ryan gave it another flick on the head (hand).
[Ding! Lefty's affection for you -1]
A "╬" appeared above Ryan's head.
He closed his eyes.
Took a deep breath.
And then...
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Along with those flicks that were so fast they left afterimages, a lot of system notifications rang out in Ryan's ears.
Finally, Lefty opened her mouth wide with a "Wah!" and bit his right hand, shouting:
"Stop flicking! Stop it! What are you doing, fluffing cotton? I already said don't wake me up, you don't care at all if I can take it or not, and you keep snapping so hard..."
Ryan didn't give her a chance to argue. He grabbed two of her fingers and said seriously:
"Lefty, are you getting scared?"
The left hand immediately jerked its fingers and had an expression of (ŎдŎ;), saying:
"Scared? What... what strange thing to say! Would I be scared? Are you kidding! I... I'm not afraid of anything, okay? Even if it's a huge head or something... This hand is also..."
Seemingly hearing the strange conversation above.
Soso, who was speeding along, neatly plucked out an eyeball, held it up with a tentacle, and looked at Ryan curiously, saying:
"Doctor—heard—voices—"
"Wau, yah, yah, yah!"
Seeing that rolled-up eyeball, Lefty immediately bristled like (ΩДΩ), and with a jerk, she pulled Ryan's arm behind her back, hiding behind Ryan's shoulder, her teeth chattering.
[Ding! Lefty's fear of Soso +10]
[Ding! Lefty's fear of Soso +10]
Along with the system notifications coming one after another.
Soso tilted the eyeball curiously and said, "Huh?"
"It's okay, Soso, don't worry about it. My left hand is a bit shy. You'll get used to it."
Ryan closed his eyes with a slight smile on his lips.
Soso said curiously, "Oh—"
Then immediately stretched the tentacle back. As for why the doctor's left hand seemed to move on its own and was even afraid of her, she wasn't surprised.
Because just like she had so many tentacles, it was quite normal for the doctor to have a moving left hand.
Feeling the left hand trembling.
Ryan grabbed the left hand's wrist with a mischievous smile and lifted it in front of his face, saying:
"Lefty, you're shaking!"
The left hand held its palm with its little finger and thumb like (ó﹏ò｡), saying:
"No! Where do you see me shaking?! I was just casually stretching, was I shaking? I wasn't shaking!"
[Ding! Lefty's fear of Soso +5]
"Bullying the weak? Afraid of the strong?" Ryan had an ambiguous smile and pointed at the left hand with an unkind look.
The left hand immediately jerked and exclaimed, "No! I'm not! Where am I bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?! I'm a normal mutation. When facing a creature that I can't possibly defeat, of course I'll inevitably be afraid! This is clearly normal..."
"..."
Her expression went blank.
She looked at Ryan's increasingly unkind and mysterious smile.
This feeling was like two guys who were evenly matched, and then one day one of them was suddenly found to have a weakness that could be targeted, and then the other one ruthlessly used this weakness as a breakthrough, pounding into it again and again with force...
"Lefty..."
The left hand heard the voice.
Came to her senses.
And then immediately saw a (Φ皿Φ) sinister face up close.
Lefty: "(ΩДΩ) Wow, yah, yah, ah!"
[Ding! Lefty's fear of you +2]
Ryan gloomily leaned in front of her, and cold sweat was pouring out on the back of Lefty's hand.
"You should be obedient... Lefty shouldn't be disobedient... Should be... After all, cold shredded pig's trotters are crunchy. Are the other hands also crunchy when eaten..."
The voice was so eerie, like someone blowing cold air on your scalp.
[Ding! Lefty's fear of you +5]
[Ding! Lefty's fear of you +10]
Lefty's teeth chattered as she swallowed and said, "You're not... to feed me to... feed me to..."
[Ding! Lefty's fear of Soso +20]
Ryan said kindly, "How could that be? You're my left hand that has accompanied me for seventeen years. How could I do such a heartless thing? After all, I'm not a devil."
Lefty finally let out a sigh of relief.
"At least it has to be fried and then sprinkled with cumin first."
Lefty: "!!!"
[Ding! Lefty's fear of you +10]
[Ding! Lefty's fear of you +10]
Ryan smiled and moved his eyebrows, then took out a lollipop and a bottle of pesticide from his arms and placed them in front of Lefty.
Lefty cried out in fright, "What are you doing!! Wuwu!"
Ryan smiled and said, "A multiple-choice question."
"Good children get candy to eat, bad children get medicine to drink. Lefty, do you want to be a good child or a bad child?"
Lefty said pitifully, "Can I choose obtuse angle?"
"..."
"..."
A brief silence.
"Soso! Today the doctor will treat you to cold shredded left hand!" Ryan turned around and shouted.
Lefty: "!!!"
Soso said curiously, "Huh—Is it delicious—"
"Delicious! The ingredients are fresh, lively, and when you take a bite, it can even make a special sound like 'Wah, wah, wah' as accompaniment!"
"Um—So—Novel? I really want to try it—"
Lefty: "!!!"
...
"No! No! No!!"
The left hand immediately grabbed Ryan's chest clothes in a breakdown, shaking them vigorously and shouting.
This time, Lefty finally cracked.
Because with this guy's perverted personality, he might actually do it!
"Obedient! I didn't say I'd be disobedient! There's no such thing! From now on, you can be the big one, and I'll be the small one. Is that okay? Wuwu! No cold shredding!!"
[Ding! Lefty's obedience to you +1]
[Ding! You have made preliminary progress in taming the left hand mutant!]
Hearing the system notification, Ryan's smile blossomed.
He picked up the lollipop and said with a smile:
"Open your mouth!"
Lefty o(╥﹏╥)o obediently opened her mouth.
Swoosh—
It went in at once.
Ryan closed his eyes and pinched Lefty's little finger, saying: "That's right. After all, I'm not a devil. If you're obedient, we can still get along well. You can completely trust me as your parent body."
"If I have a bite of meat, I guarantee you'll have a bone to gnaw on. Is it sweet?!"
Lefty o(╥﹏╥)o ate the lollipop.
"Sweet, wuwu"
Finally, he had temporarily tamed the left hand, and Ryan felt extremely comfortable in his heart.
Although he used threats and bribes, there was finally phased progress.
He believed.
In the future, as long as he slowly trained it with a combination of kindness and severity, he would definitely be able to completely turn this disobedient mutant into his helper.
"Doctor—Ahead—There's a door—"
Soso's voice came from below.
Ryan smiled slightly, suddenly looked up, and grabbed a hideous severed hand from the system space.
It was the [Dragon's Breath Arm]!
Whoosh—
Flesh Catastrophic activated!
Suddenly, one after another flesh vines grew out on his shoulders, sticking to the Dragon's Breath Arm.
The lifeless dragon head's eyes on that arm immediately glowed with raging fire.
[Ding! You have linked with the Dragon's Breath Arm. Warning! Your body is severely overloaded!]
But Ryan didn't care.
"System! Allocate all attribute points to Constitution!"
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding—
