"Doc... doc!"
"Ugh," Raymond opened his eyes. He saw two pretty nurses looking worried in front of him. He immediately sat up and realized he was still in the operating room. Then he stood up with the help of the two beautiful nurses.
"Doctor, are you okay?" a nurse asked.
"What happened?" Raymond asked, holding his head.
"You suddenly fainted after the surgery, please don't push yourself, doc," the other nurse said.
"Alright, thank you. I'll go back to my office," Raymond said, smiling and winking, which made the two nurses giddy and ready to do anything for him.
Raymond walked out, leaving the two smitten nurses behind. After closing the door,
[Hmm, you're pretty good at pretending, too.]
"Hah... I have to be. I'm a former director. Maintaining my image is important. Let's go," replied Dean, who was possessing Raymond's body.
Raymond walked with his hand in his doctor's coat pocket. He held a scalpel tightly in his pocket to get his fingerprints on the handle. He walked towards the elevator to go up to the hospital administration office.
"Ding!" After the elevator opened, Raymond confidently stepped out and walked down the hallway towards the administration office. When he entered, many employees greeted him, and he greeted them back, which surprised the employees because Raymond usually never returned greetings.
He walked to the CEO's office. Then, "knock... knock!" he knocked on the door. "Come in!" a man inside yelled. Raymond opened the door and peeked inside. He saw a man around 65 years old, with white hair and glasses, sitting and writing at his desk.
"Sniff... sniff," Raymond caught a unique scent from inside the room. He walked closer to the desk and went behind it. It turned out there was a nurse under the table performing oral on the 65-year-old man. The nurse was startled when she saw Raymond and stopped, making the man turn to look at Raymond.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Hey... get out," Raymond (Dean) told the nurse.
"Y-yes, doctor," the nurse replied.
Hurriedly, the nurse left the room and closed the door. The 65-year-old man, named Ronald, immediately pulled up his pants.
"What are you bothering me for, Ray?" Ronald asked casually.
"Nothing, Dad. I just wanted to say goodbye because after this, we won't see each other again," Raymond replied.
"Huh... what do you mean?" Ronald asked, turning to look at Raymond with a confused expression.
Raymond smiled and raised his finger. "Brain control," he said. Immediately, Ronald's body stiffened, then slowly sat back upright, both arms on the table, and his face staring straight ahead. Only his eyes darted left and right.
"It means we're both going to leave this world and go to different places," Raymond whispered into Ronald's ear.
"STAB!" "SLICE!" Raymond's hand plunged the scalpel into Ronald's stomach and dragged it, opening Ronald's "belly" wide, with blood gushing onto the floor under the desk. Then Raymond took a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the side of Ronald's lips and placed the handkerchief under both of Ronald's hands. After that, he casually walked out of the room as if nothing had happened. After closing the door,
"Now, let's go to the room where I work, please, NS," Dean thought in Raymond's head.
[Leave it to me.]
Raymond immediately disappeared and reappeared in a warehouse. Casually, he lay down on a surgical table, and "SHLOOP!" Dean emerged from Raymond's body, causing Raymond's body to shrink like a mummy.
Without further delay, Dean aimed his large scythe at Raymond's stomach. "Surgery." Raymond's stomach opened, and a red light came out from inside his body. Two fresh and healthy kidneys emerged from the light, then floated into a pre-prepared cooler box on the table.
After the wound on Raymond's stomach was closed, Raymond's body immediately disappeared to be placed in a random empty rental house or apartment. After that, Dean took out his smartphone and called someone. On the second ring, the call was answered.
"Hey, it's me. Pick them up at the usual spot, two kidneys. Transfer the money to the usual account, okay?" Dean said.
"Alright, thank you," a man on the other end of the phone replied.
"Click!" Dean hung up and put his smartphone back in his pocket. After that, he disappeared and reappeared in the unfinished high-rise building, directly on the floor where he met Jenna in the real world.
Then he entered the dream world again to meet Jenna. Jenna still seemed to be staring at the large hologram screen in front of her, but her face showed a satisfied smile, and she shed tears. Then she turned to look at Dean, who was standing in front of her.
"Thank you," Jenna said.
"Huh, you can talk?" Dean asked, surprised.
"Yes, somehow I can talk to you," Jenna replied.
[That's because she's free now. She has no more ties to this world, so she can talk to you.]
"Oh... I see," Dean thought in his head. "Ahem... well, I'm glad you're satisfied and free. Now, the fee for my service... hmm... $6,000,000," Dean said.
"Um... I'm dead. I don't have any money. How can I pay you?" Jenna asked frankly.
"BOOM!" Suddenly, NS appeared next to Dean, startling Jenna so much that she jumped and hugged Dean's arm.
"You have to work to pay off your debt," NS told Jenna.
"Huh... work? What kind of work do I have to do?" Jenna asked, confused.
"Work for Dean, as his Soul Partner," NS replied.
"Huh?!" Dean exclaimed, surprised.
"Um... what's a Soul Partner? And what's the job? I don't understand at all?" Jenna asked.
"Dean, tell her about your job and our world," NS told Dean.
"Huh... why me?" Dean asked.
"Because I'm your boss, hurry up," NS replied.
"Alright, you jerk," Dean muttered.
Dean explained everything to Jenna, who listened and asked questions when she didn't understand, he also introduced NS to Jenna. Dean even showed Jenna the dream world stretching out before them from a height because Jenna could now move from the spot that had bound her. After explaining everything, Jenna looked down.
"But I'm dead, and I'm just a ghost. What can I even do?" Jenna asked.
"Do you want to work or become my collection? Because you're special, I can't eat you," NS replied.
Dean explained what would happen to Jenna if she became NS's collection, which scared Jenna a little.
"Okay, I want to work, but how? What's a Soul Partner?" Jenna asked.
"About that, I don't even know myself. (He turned to look at NS) Explain it," Dean replied.
"Hmm... the important thing is you're willing to work, right?" NS asked Jenna.
Jenna nodded enthusiastically. Then the three of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became quiet. After that, "Click!" NS snapped his fingers, and they moved to an emergency room in the hospital in the dream world.
"Dean, hold Jenna's hand. Now we're going to the real world," NS said.
"Okay," Dean replied, immediately taking Jenna's hand.
They walked into the portal and saw, "Hurry, hurry! Get defibrillator! hurry up!" a female doctor yelled. They saw the busy nurses and a doctor in front of them. On a bed lay a high school girl about 18 years old, her head covered in blood and her body full of wounds, her school uniform torn.
[Alright, Dean, tell Jenna to go into the girl's body.]
"Huh?!" Dean exclaimed, surprised.
